The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms - Vol 10 Chapter 331
But Gongsun Zan turned a deaf ear to Chunyuqiong’s siege, if he didn’t seem to take it to heart, it was not just because he believed in the strength of the fort, but also because he had already sent his son Gongsun Xu out of the city to go where he was going. Zhang Feiyan asked for help.
Zhang Feiyan’s Ministry is now stationed in the Taihang Mountains of Zhongshan. Zhongshan is located in the northwest of Jizhou, bordering Daijun of Youzhou to the north, and Zhuojun of Youzhou and Hejian State of Jizhou to the east. , although in the east-west direction, Yuan Shao’s troops had already been stationed and guarded the key points, Zhang Feiyan should be difficult to pass, but even if he chooses to detour, that is, first go north to Dai County, then enter Zhuo County from the east of Dai County, and finally Going down south to Yi County, the journey is not very far, but it is two or three hundred miles away. If you count the time, Gongsun continued to go down to see Zhang Feiyan, then wait for Zhang Feiyan to make all the pre-war preparations to help Gongsun Zan. After that, it would take more than half a month at most, and his troops and horses would be able to arrive at Yi County.
– As for whether Zhang Feiyan would come to help, Gongsun Zan was quite sure about this, and he was sure that Zhang Feiyan would definitely come to help him. On the one hand, the two of them have long been allies. The two have the principle that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. With Zhang Feiyan’s wisdom, he will not know it.
Gongsun Zan urged the slave to keep pouring wine for him, while looking up at a huge map hanging on the opposite wall.
This map is not a map of the entire Han Dynasty, but a map of several states such as Youzhou, Jizhou, and Qingzhou in the north.
Gongsun Zan was very familiar with this map for a long time. He didn’t need to look for it at all, and he landed on the location of Yi County at a glance.
Following Yi County, he looked a little to the north. If Zhang Feiyan’s troops came from Dai County in the north, they would appear at this position after they arrived. Then, he looked to a place in the southwest of Yi County. There was a mountain in this place, just behind the commanding camp of the Jizhou soldiers who were currently encircling Yi County.
Gongsun Zan drank and thought to himself: “And after Zhang Feiyan leads his troops, I will personally lead the elite soldiers, kill them from the city, seize this mountain, and cut off Chunyu Qiong’s back path, then it will be time, Zhang Feiyan. Lead their troops to attack from the north, and I will attack here in the southwest, echoing from the north and south, and two counterattacks will definitely defeat the thief Chunyu Qiong!”
The big slave poured him the wine, he drank another glass of wine, and continued to think, “Yuan Benchu has all the generals under the tent, only Quyi is a little murderer, but Quyi has already been killed by Yuan Benchu, Yuan Benchu cut off his arm by himself! How can a Chunyu Qiong be my rival?”
It is no wonder that Gongsun Zan has such confidence.
Comparing the two careers, although Chunyu Qiong was one of the eight captains of the West Garden in the past, he mostly relied on his family background, while Gongsun Zan did not. Gongsun Zan’s existence today mainly depends on his own knife and one knife. The military feats of the gun. One is a famous general who can fight well and has great military exploits, and the other is a child of an aristocratic family who has no great record. Anyone can see clearly which one is better and which one is worse.
After listening to Gongsun Zan’s answer, the big slave also had great confidence in Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan’s answer was indeed correct, so he didn’t say any more.
Gongsun Zan was drinking cup after cup, drinking uncontrollably, feeling slightly drunk, and in a trance, he suddenly thought of Liu Yu.
Thinking of Liu Yu, he immediately lost the mood to drink. He put the wine glass on the table with all his strength, then stood up, and walked around the hall with his sturdy upper body naked.
The big slave and other servants next to him didn’t know why he was doing this, and they were all puzzled, and some were even afraid, and they all bowed to the ground.
In the walking hall, Gongsun Zan thought angrily: “I’ve been patient with you in every possible way! If you didn’t have me, how could you stand firm in Youzhou? Those Wuhuan and Xianbei Hus have always been afraid of power. If you are not virtuous, how can you be respectful to you? And that Yuan Shao, Hulang, is also afraid of annexing Youzhou! But not only are you not grateful to me, you are not grateful to me for occupying Youzhou for you, and you don’t give it to me. Trust, but turned against me again and again. In the end, when my troops and horses were scattered all over the place, a mob of so-called ‘hundreds of thousands’ gathered to attack me! You don’t even think about it, no matter how many sheep there are, How can it be the opponent of the wolf? A mob, no matter how large the number is, how can it be my enemy? After I defeated you, I originally did not want to kill you. In the future, if you are honest, then I will save your life and ask you to be the Youzhou Shepherd of this rude son. What’s wrong with you! But you are so arrogant, you still despise me, and you are very arrogant, because I was angry with you. , I killed you!… After killing you, I was unable to kill Xian Yufu and Xian Yuyin together, but I underestimated them, and they embraced Yan Rou, who thought Hu was his father For the leader of the alliance, come to invade my soil, cause me a good situation, and destroy it! Hate it, hate it!”
At this time, the offensive of the Jizhou soldiers who attacked the southern city wall was about to be at its most violent. Gongsun Zan’s already ups and downs were made even more difficult to restrain by the sound of drums and shouts of killing. He strode out of the hall and entered the courtyard again, holding his sword and dancing again.
But just now, he drank too much, and the wine was too strong, and he almost fell over if he was not careful.
Fortunately, after all, he was agile, and with a backhand sword in time, he stabbed to the ground, supported his body, and did not fall.
He just knelt on the ground halfway, he raised his eyes and looked to the south where the sound of killing came from, and sighed again, “I hate it! I hate it!” He gritted his teeth and said, “After I destroy Chunyu Qiong, I will send troops to the north. , swear to cut off all the thieves of Yan Rou!”
There were ups and downs, and after a while, the violent siege ended, and the sound of drum horns and shouts gradually subsided, and after a while, they finally became inaudible.
However, as Gongsun Zan expected, Chunyu Qiong’s siege today is still the same as the previous sieges, and it still returns without success.
…
Chunyu Qiong’s camp, with the accounts.
The generals who just came down from the front line, following the orders of Chunyu Qiong, came to the tent one after another.
When night fell, the generals were all there, and they were all commanders above the commander and commander. There were 20 or 30 people in total.
In addition to the generals, there were more than a dozen scholars who came before and after. These scholars were either military advisers or officials of the Chunyu Qiong shogunate.
Of the dozen or so scholars, it seems that three people are at the head.
Of these three people, one sits on the upper left, with a stern appearance and a serious posture, this person is Shen Pei; the other two are sitting opposite Shen Pei, who are somewhat similar in appearance, they are brothers Xin Ping and Xin Pi.
Regarding the battle of Chunyuqiong’s attack on Yi County, Guo Tu could see it, and Ju Shou and others could also see it. Gongsun Zan is now at the end of the road. This battle is definitely the last battle with Gongsun Zan, so this Da Gong, Ju Shou, etc. naturally refused to be monopolized by Chunyu Qiong, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Xin Pi, etc., so before the war, just like Guo Tu suggested Yuan Shao to appoint Xin Ping and Xin Pi as their counselors for this war, they also asked the war. Yuan Shao put forward their suggestions, suggesting that Yuan Shao should use Shenpei as Chunyuqiong’s staff.
Although Yuan Shao’s foundation in Jizhou has gradually stabilized by now, it is no longer in need of the support of local scholars and tyrants in Jizhou, but Jizhou is the territory of Jizhou people after all, and Ju Shu and others still have considerable influence in Jizhou. The big one, so although Yuan Shao was actually more and more inclined towards Guo Tu and others, he did not want to make Ju Shou and others estranged from himself, so he agreed to the suggestion of Ju Shou and others, and put the trial Pei also served as Chunyu Qiong’s counselor in this battle.
That is to say, there are currently two factions in Chunyu Qiongjun as far as advisors are concerned.
One faction is the Jizhou scholar faction headed by Shen Pei. At this moment, the scholars sitting under Shen Pei are all local scholars from Jizhou; the other faction is the foreign state led by Xin Ping and Xin Pi brothers. Scholars faction, the two of his brothers were sitting at the moment, that is, scholars from other prefectures from Yingchuan, Runan or other prefectures.
—Actually, apart from the advisors, the generals under Chunyu Qiong’s tent were also divided into two factions.
The two factions of military generals and the two factions of counselors are opposite to each other. One faction is also a local faction in Jizhou, and the other faction is also a faction from other states.
Among the two factions of military commanders, the local ones in Jizhou include Yan Liang, Gao Lan, Zhu Ling, Jiang Qi, Lu Kuang, Lv Xiang, and Qiao Zhao, and the others from outside the state include Suideng, Han Jie, Lu Jian, Zhao Rui, and so on.
Whether it is a scholar or a military general, they are all clearly distinguished. The scholars sit on the left and right according to their faction, and the same is true for military generals.
These do not need to be said.
The night has come, the lights in the tent are bright, see Shen Pei, Xin Ping, Xin Pi and other generals have all arrived, Chunyu Qiong stroked the bushy beard under his chin, and looked around everyone, but his career, despite the many Relying on his family voice and the shade of his fathers and grandparents, he is also a long-term general. In this tent where military generals are gathered, looking at his appearance, he is still very mighty.
As Chunyu Qiong’s gaze swept across, the tent became quiet.
Chunyu Qiongnai opened his mouth and said, “Now it seems that in the past two years, Gongsun Zan has actually done nothing. UU reading www.uukanshu.com put all his strength into building the Yijing! This Yijing was built by him. It is really solid! Up to now, our army has been attacking many times in succession, and today I am attacking the city.
Sui Deng, one of his confidants, stood up and said, “This is all incompetent generals! Dare to beg the generals for forgiveness.”
Chunyu Qiong shook his hand and said, “It’s not your fault!” After a pause, he continued, “But then again, although it’s not your fault, and even though Gongsun Zan’s defeat is imminent and just around the corner, I am here. When I led my troops to leave Ye County, I issued a military order to the general. I promised the general that I would be able to conquer Yi County, capture Gongsun Zan, and present it to the general for at least a month! Almost half a month has passed, and there is only half a month left. So how should we fight the next battle? How can we capture Yixian Suke and Gongsun Zan? What are your opinions? Please speak freely. .”
For example, this Yi Jing is like a tortoise shell. It does seem to be indestructible. After half a month of onslaught, all the generals have tried their best, but they can’t get in at all. How to fight under the war? The generals are all helpless.
Chunyu Qiong saw that everyone was silent, so she said, “I already have a solution, I just don’t know what your opinion is.”
