It's just that what makes Li Pengfei a little puzzled is that Gongsun Zhan's name does not appear in the military general system, that is to say, Gongsun Zhan did not come to join him.

However, Li Pengfei was quickly relieved. Gongsun Chan was also a later prince, and he must have ambitions. And he led the army to come at this moment, but because he Li Pengfei was granted the power and responsibility to lead the affairs of Youzhou to suppress thieves by the imperial court, and Gongsun Zan wanted to participate in the extermination of the Youzhou Yellow Turban, and he became his subordinate in name, so he led the army to come.

After thinking this out, Li Pengfei was no longer surprised.

Li Pengfei said with a serious expression: "Brother Bogui came just in time, the younger brother is discussing with the generals about sending troops, and Brother Bogui will also help to refer to the details." ”

Gongsun Zhan said with a smile: "Brother Xian, let a certain lead the army into battle to kill, a certain person can do it, but this matter of staff and military intelligence is not for my brother's strength." I came here to obey the orders of the virtuous brother, you discuss yours, and I will listen to it. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he laughed and said: "What Brother Bogui said is very close to my heart, I was just about to tell my eldest brother, in fact, there is no need to call me to participate in the military discussion, as long as the result of the discussion is out, just tell the younger brother." ”

Of course, Li Pengfei won't really believe it, Zhang Fei's words are credible, but Gongsun Zhan, if you are serious, you will lose. He knows very well that Gongsun Chan is a very assertive person, and can even be said to be a very stubborn person.

However, there was no need to dwell on this matter at this moment, he said with a serious expression: "Ladies and gentlemen, although we annihilated Zhang Bao's general Cheng Yuanzhi and his 100,000 troops in Yuyang and Youbeiping earlier, and severely damaged Zhang Qun's troops in Quanzhou, annihilating more than 40,000 of them. But this did not hurt Zhang Bao's strength in Youzhou. His own troops, plus the high ascension and strict divisions in Upper Valley County and Dai County, still had a full army of 250,000 troops. Even if most of these 250,000 people are rabble, it is not something that we can compete with head-on now. What do you think about the development of the war situation in the future? ”

Yue Fei's expression was solemn, and he said slowly: "Indeed, as the lord said, although we have defeated the Yellow Turban Army several times and annihilated more than 140,000 enemies before and after, this has not completely changed the situation in Youzhou. The most serious thing is that now we are isolated in Youzhou, although the counties of Liaodong are still under the control of my Han, but far water can not quench the thirst of the near, thousands of miles away, it is impossible for reinforcements to arrive in a short time. However, the emergency documents in Jizhou are delivered every day like snowflakes. Beizhong Lang's general Lu Zhi and the captain of Wuhuan led his troops to hold Yecheng in Wei County for nearly two months, and in the face of the ferocious attack of the 300,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Jiao himself, the siege battle must be extremely fierce, and it is estimated that the situation is very critical. The reinforcements of Bohai County were surrounded by Zhang Liang of the Yellow Turban Army and led by an army in Ganling City of Qinghe State. Looking at the entire Hebei war situation, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang each led hundreds of thousands of troops, and they were horns for each other. If you want to break through, you must defeat one of the enemy's paths as quickly as possible to solve the dilemma in front of you. ”

"What does Pengju mean, do you want us to defeat Zhang Bao in Youzhou first?" Zhao Yun asked.

"Zilong is right, although the military strength of the Yellow Turban Army in Youzhou is still very strong, but I think that they have suffered several consecutive defeats, and their morale must be low. If we want to completely reverse the situation on the entire Hebei battlefield, the breakthrough point is probably Zhang Bao in front of us. Yue Fei said slowly.

Li Pengfei nodded and said, "What Pengju said is very true. Although there is a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, we have no choice but to do it. If we want to rescue Jizhou, we don't have troops, and the far water can't save the near fire. Now the only way is to defeat Zhang Bao in the shortest possible time and survive in danger. If Zhang Bao's troops were to recover and join up with the 100,000 Yellow Turban troops of Gao Sheng and Yanzheng who had arrived from Shanggu County and Dai County, Quanzhou would definitely be attacked by them again. Several brothers and all of you here are all leading soldiers, and they should find a way out of trouble for Quanzhou at this time of difficulty. ”

"Now there are only more than 5,000 soldiers left in Quanzhou, plus 4,500 iron cavalry under the command of the lord and 3,000 cavalry brought by General Gongsun, a total of only 13,000 men and horses. And Zhang Bao has an army of 150,000, and we still defend the city, and we have no chance of winning. What's more, they also have an army of 100,000 led by Gao Sheng and Yan Zheng as backup. Big brother, it's not a question of whether there is a way out, it's a question of simply impossible. Guan Yu said in a low voice with a bitter face.

Li Pengfei took out a silk map from his bosom, carefully laid it on the desk, and looked at it carefully.

"Lord, what can you do?" Cheng Pu asked.

Several people in the tent immediately fixed their eyes on Li Yunlong and Li Pengfei's faces.

According to the scout's report, Zhang Qun didn't know why he didn't flee back to Jixian County, but stayed in Yongnu all the time. According to reliable information, Zhang Qun originally had 5,000 men and horses left behind in Yongnu City, plus more than 2,000 men and horses that Zhang Qun fled back, and the rout troops that had been gradually gathered recently, there were more than 10,000 people. This is much worse than the number of troops that Zhang Qun originally came to attack Quanzhou, but it is also a force to be reckoned with. Li Pengfei said slowly.

Although most of the Yellow Turban Army under Quanzhou was captured, there were still three or four thousand people who fled. Some of these people fled in all directions, but some fled back to Yongnu.

Several people looked at him puzzled, Zhang Fei was anxious, and asked directly: "Does the eldest brother want to take down this enemy?" ”

Li Pengfei first nodded, then shook his head, and said with a smile: "Yes and no. ”

"Big brother, when is it, don't sell it." Zhang Fei said anxiously.

"And our troops are too small in number to attack Yongnu." Zhao Yun also said.

Li Pengfei nodded and said: "Zilong is right, with our current strength, it is true that we have not forcibly taken down the strength of this enemy, but the enemy is not clear." Let's think about it, we originally had more than 5,000 remaining foot soldiers who were able to participate in the battle, plus the newly collected 15,000 soldiers, a full 20,000 people. In addition, with the three thousand horsemen of Brother Bergui, we have seven thousand five hundred iron horsemen. In other words, in the eyes of outsiders, our total strength is close to 30,000. As long as we lead the army and surround Yongnu City, won't the newly defeated Zhang Qun be in a hurry? ”

But what's the use? The newly collected 15,000 soldiers have no combat ability, and as for letting them perform in the siege battle, don't expect it, we still don't have the strength to really break through Yongnu City? Guan Yu immediately asked.

Li Pengfei said with a smile: "Of course it is useful, and it is very useful." Do you remember what we trained before we went into the army? ”

Guan Yu thought for a moment and said, "What does the eldest brother mean...... Encirclement for reinforcements? ”

Li Pengfei nodded and said, "That's right, it's to encircle the point and send reinforcements." Of our 20,000 foot soldiers, although 15,000 are recruits with little training, there are still 5,000 people who have survived the last battle of Quanzhou. Although they didn't have much training before, the battlefield was the best testing ground, and they who survived this siege were the best warriors. Let's lead a large army to surround Yongnu, send a small amount of force to attack, and put some pressure on the Yellow Turban Army in the city, and Zhang Qun, who has been frightened, is bound to ask Zhang Bao in Jicheng for help. When the time comes, our 7,500 iron cavalry will be able to play a big role and deal a fatal blow to the enemy troops who come to the rescue. ”

Everyone didn't speak for a while, but they all felt that Li Pengfei's idea was good, and it was indeed a way to solve the current situation in Youzhou.

Today's Zhang Bao, although there are still 150,000 troops under his command, most of them are newly gathered rabble, and the real elite strength is only 20,000 or 30,000.

Judging from the current situation, it is definitely impossible for Zhang Bao to send all these elite forces out to rescue Zhang Qun, at most, half of them will be sent to the sky, that is, about 10,000 people.

This gave Li Pengfei the opportunity to ride the iron horse.

Zhao Yun thought for a while and asked, "Big brother, what if Zhang Bao sees through this strategy and doesn't come to the rescue?" ”

Li Pengfei said with a smile: "It's no problem if you don't come to the rescue, then let's eat Zhang Qun's 10,000 horses." ”

"Aren't we not having the strength to break through Yongnu, how can we eat Zhang Qun?" Zhang Fei said puzzled.

"Yongnu City is surrounded by us, and Zhang Bao doesn't come to the rescue, do you think Zhang Qun dares to stay and defend the city with Zhang Qun's current state of frightened birds?" Li Pengfei smiled faintly and said confidently.
