Chapter 50 Fighting for territory
After being angry, Yuan Shao was calm and carefully discussed with Changshi Jushang and other staff about the plan to deal with Gongsun Zan and Youzhou Army. As long as Gongsun Zan is eliminated in Chang'an City, the vast Youzhou will belong to its own. In this way, with a large rear full of materials and stability, it will be possible to go south to calm down the princes from all walks of life... Yuan Shao won the world, and his wish to win the deer in the Central Plains can be realized step by step!
So for Yuan Shao, what kind of Qin Wang's rebellion and how to suppress the rebels are all a cover. Behind all the appearances: Yuan Shao only has one thought - to deal with Gongsun Zan and let the whole Youzhou army be destroyed! Let the solid Chang'an City become the graveyard of the Youzhou Army.
In Yuan Shao's prior conception, he only dealt with Youzhou Gongsun Zan and Kunzhou Cao Mengde in this way: with the help of the siege battle, he used the Xiliang Legion to consume the living troops of Gongsun Zan and Cao Mengde, and then at a certain time, he united with Rongdi soldiers to kill Gongsun Zan and the Youzhou army on the spot, and then transferred from the north of the city to the east of the city to unite. Yuan Shu's army destroyed Cao Cao's army...
But this perfect plan was broken by Cao Cao's secret weapon, the serial stone thrower. Yuan Shao had no choice but to use the second set of response plan: wait for the allied forces to break through the city and destroy Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan's troops in the city. Unfortunately, the cunning Cao Cao did not ask for booty and took the initiative to retreat... This situation is also good. Yuan Shao can just go all out to deal with Gongsun Zan.
Just as Yuan Shao was discussing the military situation with his confidant, Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Shang, ran into the hall in a panic. In order to exercise the ability of the next generation and broaden the horizons of the next generation, Yuan Shao also brought his two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, to the battlefield. At this time, his eldest son Yuan Tan was cooperating with Chun Yuqiong to guard the gate in the north of the city, and his second son Yuan Shangcai rushed back from Li Wei and Guo Yan's mansions.
In order to protect Yuan Shang's safety, Yuan Shao used Gao Lan as his guard.
Yuan Shao saw the panicked look of his second son Yuan Shang, and his face became gloomy. He cursed secretly: The whole city of Chang'an was occupied by me, and there was a super fierce general as a bodyguard for you. What's the panic? Isn't it a disgrace to me? ......
Yuan Shang looked at his father's gloomy face, lifted the corner of his armor, and Shi Li knelt down and said, "Report to my father that the traitor Li Yu and Guo Yan have been stabbed..."
When Yuan Shao heard the words, his face suddenly changed from gloomy to surprise. He asked Gao Lan, who was kneeling behind Yuan Shang, with his eyes. Gao Lan blinked at Yuan Shao, indicating that the situation was true.
"Oh, isn't it? Shanger, the traitor Li Wei and Guo Yan were assassinated there. Who is the assassin?" Yuan Shao asked in a flat tone. In order to cultivate his child's various abilities, Yuan Shao was still patient and a qualified father.
"To my father, the previous son led his entourage to Guo Yan's mansion. The whole mansion was empty. Only the hall and the back garden lay hundreds of corpses, and Guo Yan's body was in the hall, and Guo Yan's purple gold armor did not know where to go..." Yuan Shang tried his best to keep a calm tone and said, "When we get to Li Yu's mansion, it is also The same situation. However, Li Yu's Mo Yujia and Mo Yu Blade are well preserved... I replied to my father that because we arrived at the scene afterwards, we couldn't find the assassin..."
Between Yuan Shang's words, Gao Lan behind him got up and put Mo Yujia and Mo Yu blade on the table in front of Yuan Shao. The treasure was in front of him, and Yuan Shao couldn't help reaching out and touching it.
Gao Lan retreated behind Yuan Shang and arched his hand to Yuan Shao on one knee and said, "Return to the herdsman, I will thoroughly investigate Li Yu and Guo Yan's mansion, and I have not found any traces left by the assassin. There is no clue from the wound of the deceased. Li Yu's Mo Yujia and Mo Yu blade are well preserved, but Yunlong Gong and Feng Yu's arrows are not I know where... According to my humble position, I can only wait to see where Guo Yan's purple gold armor and Li Yu's Yunlong bow and phoenix feather arrow are in the hands of the princes. Who is the behind-the-scenes messenger who assassinated Li Yu and Guo Yan!"
"Hmm! General Gao's words are reasonable!" Yuan Shao said with approval. And Yuan Shang was also impressed by Gao Lan's expression. He had to admit that Jiang is still old and spicy...
Just as Yuan Shao took the opportunity to educate his son, suddenly, the doorkeeper ran in to report: Muhou, Jihou Gongsun Zan visited late at night. At this time, he was on his way to Xuanzheng Hall!
When Yuan Shao heard this, his heart tightened. At this time, Shi Juxu whispered to Yuan Shao, "Muhou, this is Gongsun Zan's temptation... Ha ha, Gongsun Zan really came uninvited..."
Yuan Shao nods silently. He meditated for a moment and said to the bodyguard in a loud voice, "When Jihou comes to the door of Xuanzheng Hall, you will say to him: I have rested and have something to discuss tomorrow!"
The bodyguard said "w" and was ordered to retreat. At this time, Yuan Shang and Gao Lan were also close to their seats.
"Ha ha, Jihou really can respond to the scene..." Yuan Shao inspected the crowd and said with a smile. Then he said confidently, "Jihou came uninvited. We happened to catch turtles in the urn... Depending on the situation, our plan will be taken in advance!"
Chang Shi Jushua looked at Yuan Shao and nodded with approval. The others all looked serious and waited for Yuan Shao's order.
"Okay! Ladies and gentlemen, when the Marquis of Ji leaves the palace, it will be the time for us to plan and implement it!" Yuan Shao said forcefully.
......
Surrounded by the bodyguards, Gongsun Zan came to the door of the Xuanzheng Hall. As a result, he was persuaded to leave by the guard guard. With the exploration power of the innate realm, Gongsun Zan knew that there were many people gathered in the palace under his eyes. But Yuan Shao didn't want to see him, and he couldn't forcibly break into the palace.
Gongsun Zan, who touched a gray nose, came in and went away in frustration. In fact, Gongsun Zan was not as angry as he was on the surface: before he came to Xuanzheng Hall to meet the alliance leader Yuan Shao, he had secretly met with other generals under his command and had arranged all the matters. The reason why he came to see Yuan Shao was mainly to test.
After this test, Gongsun Zan knew that Yuan Shao's plan was about to be implemented... Facing the night wind, Gongsun Zan saw two stars in the night sky, which were particularly shining tonight. What did those two unusually shining stars mean?
After some field exploration, Gongsun Zan knew the layout of the army in Chang'an City at this time: when the allied army first entered the city, the Yizhou army and the Youzhou army fought for important strategic material places such as the armory granary. Later, for some unknown reasons, the Yizhou army took the cooked duck. It was given to the Youzhou Army and retreated by itself. Later, the Youzhou Army also occupied three-quarters of the strategic material place in Chang'an North City. In the face of delicious food, Youzhou Army did not have a super stomach in the end...
When the Youzhou military heavy truck loaded various strategic materials, the Yizhou army kept mobilizing the army secretly: Yan Liang led tens of thousands of elite cavalry to quietly move to the north of Chang'an City, and Zhang Ao led the infantry to block the center of the city; General Chunyu Qiong led the army to guard the city. In the north, he guarded the gate of the city; Yuan Shu led his generals to guard the gate of the west of the city, while Yuan Shao's fierce general Wen Chou was responsible for the division and blockade of the whole northern area of the city.
Such a layout made the Allied Ma Teng feel cold: this is obviously to surround and divide the Youzhou army in the northern area of the city. This partial intention is clearly clear - Yuan Shao just wants to bury more than 20,000 Youzhou troops in the ruins of the northern part of the city!
In the face of such a situation, Gongsun Zan not only did not feel fear, but also had a trace of excitement in his bones. He thought that no matter what the result was, the upcoming fierce battle would prove to the world that Yuan Shao, a noble model of the world, was just a sinister and despicable hypocrite on the surface... Yuan Shaofen The road to fight will come to an end. After the fierce battle, it is the beginning of Yuan Shao's decline. Yuan Shao will pay the price for his sinister and meanness. Of course, there is also Liu Yu, the current lieutenant who deliberately murders himself...
This means that Gongsun Zang is a fighter, a brave and resourceful fighter!
Gongsun Zan just walked out of the Meridian Gate of the palace, and there was a secret secret whistle to report a great surprise to Gongsun Zan: Yuan Shu led 30,000 soldiers under his command to quietly withdraw from the west gate of the city and turned to the south.
When Gongsun Zang heard the news, he immediately looked up to the sky and laughed. At the same time, he thought to himself: It's really a brother's unity, their profits are broken, the brothers are not at peace, and disaster is coming... It is estimated that the Yuan brothers turned against each other for some interests, and Yuan Shu was furious! In response to the subtle changes in the real scene, Gongsun Zan immediately changed his response to the upcoming crisis: he dispatched Tian Kai, who was close to the west of the city, to lead the army to secretly sneak to the west gate of the city and guard against it until the last soldier.
When the messengers disappeared into the dark street, Gongsun Zan led a hundred and ten bodyguards from the alley to the north of the city.
All the Youzhou troops, which have been busy robbing, rested in place, ate a little dry food and drank some water, and then gathered from various strategic material places to the military camp in the north of the city. Zhao Yun, a super fierce general in Youzhou, led 6,000 generals and soldiers to march on the straight official road in the north of the city. Due to too many strategic materials carried, the team's progress was slow: two hundred military heavy trucks, and the heavy trucks were full of hill-like materials, all covered with oil cloths, and the drivers actually used four war horses; behind the heavy trucks were soldiers. Hundreds of bed crossbows were pulled back; while Zhao Yun himself was alone at the front of the team, acting as the leader, while other soldiers held torches or walked on the two sides of the heavy cart and the bed crossbow, or walking behind the team.
The troops of the Youzhou Army gathered from other streets to the school and military field of the barracks under the leadership of Yan Gang, Shanjing and other generals. At this time, if you can overlook from the cold night sky, you can see a team of five fire dragons gathering in one direction on the main road in the north of Chang'an City. The scene is warm and spectacular.
In the area north of Chang'an City, the ground is lively, and the movement of the march spreads far away, but the night sky of the city is very quiet. However, the fireworks arrows fired from the palace broke the silence of the night sky, and the fireworks arrows exploded in the night sky, blooming with dazzling patterns.
The fireworks are so beautiful that even the marching Youzhou Army can't help looking up. However, when the shocking killing sound came from the front and back, the Youzhou army suddenly understood that the beautiful fireworks pattern brought them danger and death, not beauty.
