Chapter 339: Expelling Liu Bei
Gongsun Yue's mood is getting worse and worse, last month in the northwest of Zhangwu, Gongsun Chan was ready to lure the harassment troops sent by Fu Suli, after careful analysis of the relevant intelligence, the number of this guerrilla force should be less than 10,000, for the sake of safety, Gongsun Chan gathered 30,000 cavalry, ready to annihilate this guerrilla force that gave Gongsun Chan a headache in one fell swoop.
Gongsun Yue thought that this was an opportunity to pick up credit, so he snatched this task with all his might, in fact, when he was the first to grab the task, no one dared to compete with him, the only one who could compete with him was his brother, but Gongsun Chan didn't seem to have the intention of grabbing credit with his younger brother, as for Gongsun Fan, he has never fought with Gongsun Yue much.
Who knew that this seemed to be the task of picking credit, but in the end it turned into a big defeat, Gongsun Yue's 30,000 cavalry, lost almost 20,000, and finally Gongsun Yue fled back with the remnants of the army, and a large amount of grain and grass as bait was also lost, and more importantly, Gongsun Yue's face and prestige were lost, so, seeing Guan Jing's gloating eyes, Gongsun Yue had an urge to kill, and his emotions became more and more irritable, as if every look at him was laughing at him.
Of course, it is impossible that every look at him is laughing at him, it is more just his own illusion, but there are also people who look at him with mockery and contempt every day, and that is Zhang Fei and Zhang Heizi.
In fact, Gongsun Yue is still quite wronged, according to the original battle plan, 30,000 against 10,000, it should be a win-win situation, and there are 2,000 infantry as bait in the middle, these 2,000 infantry can use the cart to transport grain to form a defensive position, firmly attract and consume the Xianbei cavalry, so that the subsequent arrival of Gongsun Yue can completely annihilate this group of guerrilla troops.
It's just that the first half of the script was still very smooth, but when the battlefield completely entered the rhythm of Gongsun Yue, suddenly another 20,000 Xianbei cavalry joined the battlefield, so. The ambusher became the ambushed, and Gongsun Yue's white ass was brutally exploded by the sinister Xianbei people.
Objectively speaking, the failure of this battle is not the responsibility of Gongsun Yue, nor is it the disadvantage of command, but the failure of intelligence. How did the 20,000 Xianbei troops hide everyone's eyes, including the omnipresent eyes of the Inhumans from penetrating into their rear?
This battle. Although it did not hurt Gongsun Zhan's vitality, it made Gongsun Zhan's offensive have to slow down. With more troops used to clear the logistics channel, then the attack on Xianbei will naturally slow down, on the contrary, the Xianbei people's initiative to attack is more frequent, and the infiltration into Gongsun Chan's flank is more rampant. The war has reached a stalemate.
This battle also exposed Gongsun Zhan's serious shortcomings in intelligence, there was no unified intelligence agency, and all intelligence was collected from various channels at random, rather than obtaining intelligence in a planned and organized manner, which made the effectiveness and accuracy of intelligence impossible to guarantee, and the most direct result was the fiasco of this campaign.
It's just that Gongsun Chan won't admit these things, although he didn't hold his brother responsible. even had a little encouragement, and then quietly asked Gongsun Fan to set up his own military intelligence agency, but on the surface, the defeat of this battle was actually over, which made Gongsun Yue very unhappy.
was already in a bad mood, coupled with Guan Jing's cynicism. Now even this little Qu Chang Zhang Fei dares to go around to publicize his fiasco and laugh at Gongsun Yue's incompetence, which is really unbearable for uncles and aunts.
Gongsun Yue knew that Zhang Fei was brave. Naturally, he would not be stupid to compete directly with Zhang Fei, but used his position. The three brothers of Zhang Fei frequently supported the front line of the battlefield, and withheld their food and weapons.
However, the Zhang Fei brothers seem to be very popular, Gongsun Yue gave the things that were deducted, Liu Bei didn't know how to get it, and he actually got it back from the stranger, and these three brothers were indeed brave, and it can even be said that they were invincible, and in the end, Gongsun Yue deducted the food and weapons of Liu Bei's three brothers, and the matter of communiqué personal vendetta slowly spread inside and outside the battlefield, Gongsun Yue's reputation became more stinky, and the reputation of Liu Bei's three brothers was higher.
Originally, if Gongsun Chan intervened in this matter and pressed it, the matter would have passed, but Gongsun Chan didn't have the time to pay attention to this matter now, and his brother's behavior of suppressing Liu Bei was in line with Gongsun Zhan's intentions, so the matter finally became out of control.
The reason lies in an inexplicable rumor, it is rumored that in fact, Gongsun Yue's suppression of Liu Bei's three brothers was instigated by Gongsun Zhan, otherwise why did Gongsun Chan ignore it after this kind of thing happened repeatedly, Gongsun Chan's attitude has clearly confirmed this speculation.
As for why Gongsun Chan suppressed Liu Bei, who was a fellow disciple, it was actually very simple, worried that Liu Bei's three brothers would be highly meritorious, and even took away Gongsun Chan's foundation, because Gongsun Chan and Liu Bei were not a little bit worse in terms of personal charm and combat ability, so Gongsun Chan was actually very jealous of Liu Bei.
As soon as this rumor appeared, it immediately spread all over Gongsun Zhan's troops, as well as the aliens on the battlefield in northeastern Liao, and in the end, even the Xianbei people knew that as soon as the Xianbei people saw the battle flag of Liu Bei's three brothers, they fled in the wind, and when they saw the Gongsun family or others, they went up and knocked to the death, which was to make it clear that they wanted to slap Gongsun Zhan in the face.
Moreover, after being designed by Gongsun Yue again and again, I don't know how the mood of the three brothers Liu Bei was, but those soldiers all had opinions and even hatred for Gongsun Yue, after all, Gongsun Yue was sending them to death by doing this, and these soldiers were not fools.
Coupled with later rumors, these soldiers were slowly rejected by other soldiers in the barracks, and in addition to Liu Bei's opportunistic operation, if Liu Bei's ability to buy people's hearts is definitely not covered, So, Gongsun Chan found that Liu Bei's three brothers are no longer alone in the barracks, but already have their own forces, which is okay!
If this development continues, I am afraid that the so-called rumor will become true.
So, after thinking about it repeatedly, Gongsun Chan finally brought Liu Bei to a showdown.
Gongsun Chan branched out the people around him, no matter what, Gongsun Chan can not recognize Liu Bei's identity as the so-called great-grandson of the king of Zhongshan, but there is no way to deny the fact that he is his fellow disciple and brother, so no matter what kind of decision is made and what kind of compromise has been reached, it is best not to be known by a third person, as for the rumors in the future, it is a rumor after all, what can I do?
Gongsun Chan looked at the grassland where the snow was fading under the sunset, and the yellow-brown land and hay gradually appeared, making the monotonous snowfield look particularly vicissitudes.
"Xuande, let's talk openly today, no matter what the rumors outside, Xuande, I know your ability, although I understand Xuande's character, I will never do that kind of thing, but my subordinate generals, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, they will not have such understanding, so in the long run, there will be disaster."
Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "Brother Bo Jue, the younger brother understands, then the little brother will pack up and leave, the little brother came to Liaodong this time, thanks to Brother Bo Jue, the little brother and the two brothers are very grateful for Brother Bo Jue's benevolence and righteousness, if it can be used in the future, the little brother will summon the little brother." ”
Gongsun Zhan wiped the two mustaches on his lips, bared his teeth, and admired Liu Xuande's acting skills in his heart. There is obviously no third person here, if this mentality of acting has become Liu Xuande's instinct, then Gongsun Chan can only say 'obey', although this guy who sells straw shoes has no ability, but this ability to act is still worth learning from Gongsun Chan, a noble son.
"Xuande is complaining about being a brother? This is also a matter of necessity for brothers, otherwise, the soldiers will be small, and they are afraid that the reputation of Xuande and virtuous brothers will be damaged1
Gongsun Chan went back disgusting without showing weakness, it seems that there is no way to talk well with Liu Xuande, a guy who has gone mad.
Liu Bei twitched the corners of his mouth, blinked his innocent eyes, and suddenly tears flowed silently: "Brother Bo Jue's affection for his little brother, the little brother is really unrequited, and just now he even misunderstood Brother Bo Jue's kindness, and I am ashamed of it1."
Gongsun Chan is really defeated this time, this guy! Tears don't need money! We don't have such skills, so we had to laugh and say: "Xuande doesn't have to be like this, you and I are in the same door, and we should support each other, although we can't continue to work together now to sweep away Xianbei, but there will always be a day when we get together, and we can drink and talk when the time comes, hehe"
Liu Bei touched his tears, and said aggrievedly: "What Brother Bo Jue said is very true, the younger brother should have left here, but the younger brother still has a reluctant request, please Brother Bo Jue agree to the younger brother no matter what, and the younger brother will marry a grass ring in the future to repay the great kindness of the brother." ”
Gongsun Zhan's heart trembled, what does this guy want? It's so serious.
"Virtuous brother, please speak, if you can do it, you must not dare to refuse1
"This matter should be a trivial matter for Brother Bo Jue, presumably Brother Bo Jue also knows that the younger brother and the two thousand soldiers under his command are now no longer tolerated in the military camp, and the younger brother can leave, and these people who were born and died with the younger brother may not have a future in the future, although the younger brother did not kill Boren, Boren died because of this, and the younger brother may not be at ease in this life. No, why don't you let them go with the younger brother, although the younger brother doesn't have any money, but even if he eats chaff vegetables, he will definitely not lose these soldiers, please do it with Brother Boju. ”
It turned out to be this, and this is indeed a trivial matter! Hey? Wrong!!
Gongsun Chan was horrified and alert, and almost deceived Liu Xuande, just now he said so seriously with a handful of snot and tears, but he only asked for this little thing, just to highlight Liu Xuande's high style and bright festival, in the future, this matter will be spread, and he will become a villain, and Liu Xuande will gain the name of benevolence and righteousness, hehe, what a good calculation!! To be continued! ~!
