The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

The battle had just begun, and Yan Rougang personally led his cavalry to fight the enemy. The Wuhuan and Xianbei cavalry on both flanks of his rear army formation scattered and scattered. Obviously, this battle could not be fought any longer. With Yan Rou defeated, Gongsun Zan declared a great victory. end.

Fortunately, the defeat was fast, and the cavalry led by Yan Rou did not lose much. With the support of the infantry soldiers in charge of Xian Yufu, Xianyu Yin, Wei Dun, etc., Yan Rou was able to escape smoothly. Getting out means getting out, but if a battle is defeated, it is impossible to have no consequences. Although there are some soldiers from the coalition guarding the city of Lu County, Gongsun Zan took advantage of the victory, but he easily captured Lu County.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

Looking out in the wild, there are Wuhuan and Xianbei horses with braids on their heads, wearing dirty sheepskin folds, desperately running, like clusters of ants driven by the red tide, - in the red tide, the little white horses are especially good. Eye-catching, the dust that was rolled up was even more obscuring than the formation and battle.

When Yan Rou was escaping for her life, she couldn't care about Luxian. From the defeat at about noon, she fled in a hurry until nightfall, and retreated for dozens of miles to the north, only to gradually lose the pursuit of Gongsun Zan's troops.

After finding a river valley, Yan Rou gathered the remaining soldiers and stationed on the spot. Xian Yufu and others, Xian Yufu and Wei Dun followed Yan Rou, Xian Yuyin was lost in the chaos; Su Puyan and others were all gone.

After a simple negotiation, Yan Rou sent people out all night to find Xian Yuyin, Su Puyan, etc.

In order to prevent Gongsun Zan's pursuit, Yan Rou sent out scouts to the north and set up a cordon. At the same time, Yan Rou personally inspected the troops.

The military orders were passed down one after another, especially when Yan Rou appeared in front of the defeated soldiers with a calm attitude, and the military hearts of the thousands of defeated soldiers who had fled here were slightly stabilized.

The next afternoon, Su Puyan and others were found one after another.

The officers sent to look for them reported that they would come here to meet after they had gathered the remnants.

Thinking back on yesterday's battle, Yan Rou's intuition was absurd.

Xian Yuyin escaped with Yan Rou, so although they were separated, they were not far from Yan Rou's location. They were found in the early morning and came to Yan Rou's place. Yan Rou leaned on her sword, sat among Xian Yufu and others, and sighed: "The defeat in this battle is not my fault!"

Wei Dun said angrily: "It's not Duke Yan's fault that this battle was defeated, it's all those Wuhuan and Xianbei who feared Gongsun Zan like tigers. When the battle started, they scattered and fled, causing our army to be in chaos, and our army was defeated. ."

Xian Yuyin also felt annoyed, and said: "Yan Gong, look at the situation of this battle yesterday, and in the future, I will fight with Gongsun Zan, Su Puyan and other troops, I am afraid that I can't count on it!" asked, "Dare to fight. Ask Yan Gong, I don't know what to do about this?"

Yan Rou has no countermeasures.

He is still very reliant on Su Puyan and other Wuhuan and Xianbei cavalry. Su Puyan and other Hu chiefs are on an equal footing with Yan Rou to a certain extent, and he cannot restrain them with strict military orders.

Yan Rou thought about it, and said, "I can only discuss it after all the adults come to me and meet up."

He thought to himself, "How can we find a way to make Su Puyan and the others stop being so afraid of Gongsun Bogui? Although Gongsun Bogui has a reputation for being fierce, what's wrong with me?"

It was Gongsun Zan who was famous in Youzhou, but Yan Rou, who was outside the Youzhou Fortress, was also very faithful and famous. To be honest, he wasn't afraid of Gongsun Zan. However, he had this ambition, but Hu Qi did not live up to his expectations. For today's plan, I can only slowly think about a good plan to see if it can dispel Su Puyan and others' fear of Gongsun Zan.

A few days later, Su Puyan and other Hu chiefs led their respective cavalry to the camp where Yan Rou was stationed and joined Yan Rou.

The people were discussing day after day.

The main fighting faction represented by Wei Dun and others believed that they should take advantage of the great opportunity when Gongsun Zan's main force was still in Zhuo County, and immediately launch a counterattack against Gongsun Zan's troops. Wei Dun said to Yan Rou and the others: "Wen Xi made an investigation report. After Gongsun Zan recaptured Lu County, he has been looting and looting for days. If our army took this opportunity to launch a surprise attack, they would never have imagined that they would definitely turn defeat into victory!"

Su Puyan and other Hu chiefs did not agree with Wei Dun's opinion.

Su Puyan thought: "Our army was defeated. The scattered soldiers have not been gathered up yet, and Gongsun Bogui's troops have already taken over Lu County. Our army can't win the field battle, how about attacking the fortress? If this is the case. When Shi hastily launched a counterattack against Gongsun Bogui's department, he will definitely lose!"

Yan Rou asked, "Then, with the high opinion of the adults, what should we do now?"

Su Puyan looked at Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, etc., and said: "The current plan, in my opinion, is the same suggestion I made earlier, it is better for our army to retreat to Shanggu first, temporarily avoid Gongsun Zan's army, and then Think long-term."

He pointed to Xian Yufu, who was sitting in the banquet, and said, "Jun Xianyu is not talking about the surnames, tycoons, and officials of the counties and counties in Youzhou. There are quite a few letters to him, and he is willing to respond to our army and serve Liu Youzhou. Is it revenge? Then why not contact them first, while waiting for the time, when the time is ripe, and then go south to compete with Gongsun Bogui? That way, it seems more appropriate."

Yan Rou asked Xian Yufu's opinion.

Xian Yufu was also in a dilemma at this moment.

He did not agree with Wei Dun's suggestion, but he felt that Su Puyan's suggestion was not feasible. If they return to Shanggu, these Hu Qi will inevitably return to their headquarters. After they have left, it will be difficult and difficult to gather them together.

Attack cannot be attacked, retreat cannot be done, rarely is helpless.

After several days of discussions, both sides insisted on their own opinions.

Yan Rou had been paying attention to the movements of Gongsun Zan's department, but on this day, when he heard that Gongsun Zan was rewarding the three armies, he was suddenly alert.

Usually the three armies are rewarded, either before the war or after the victory.

Missed

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^ For no reason, why did Gongsun Zan suddenly reward the three armies?

Nine times out of ten, it was Gongsun Zan who was going to use his troops to attack them.

Yan Rou was worried and said to the left and right: "Gongsun Bogui may come to attack me again, and our army still can't work together. Under such circumstances, once we fight again, our army will definitely lose again."

Left and right asked: "Since that's the case, dare to ask Duke Ming, plans to come out?"

Yan Rou thought for a long time and said, "It's impossible to go back to Shanggu. I should invite Su Puyan and others to discuss it again."

So, Yan Rou sent someone to invite Su Puyan to come to the meeting in the tent.

At the meeting a few days ago, it was usually not long after the military officials who were sent to invite Su Puyan to wait, Su Puyan and others came one after another. Today is different, but after waiting for most of the day, Su Puyan was still not seen waiting for Hu Chief. arrival. Yan Rou was puzzled, so she sent someone to ask again.

...

But Su Puyan didn't arrive because of other reasons, but they were meeting two guests.

One of the two guests was Guo Xun, and the other was an emissary sent by Yuan Shao.

"My Lord Ming's letter, the adults have already read it, I don't know what the adults want?"

Su Puyan read the letter in his hand again, raised his head, looked at the envoys of Guo Xun and Yuan Shao, and said suspiciously, "I think I have read this letter from Duke Yuan, but Duke Yuan, will it be possible? coax me?"

Guo Xun laughed, with a proud look on his face, and said with a serious face: "Although your lord is far outside the Youzhou fortress, you must have heard the name of the Yuan clan in Runan! My Duke Ming, whose lineage is an important minister of the Han Dynasty. , My family's Duke Ming now dominates Jizhou, and he has a great influence in the sea and the world. All heroes in the world admire it! To make an inappropriate analogy, if the lord is the noble breed of Wuhuan, my family's Duke Ming is the noble breed of my great Han. Do you know what you say doesn't count, and you don't believe it?"

Su Puyan's weather-beaten, vicissitudes-looking face showed slyness in his eyes. He scratched his head and said, "This is definitely not the case. I always say what I say."

Guo Xun spread out his hands and said, "Since your words always count, so does my Duke Ming."

The conversation between these two people is like a riddle. What are they talking about?

It turned out that Yuan Shao, after hearing that Su Puyan and others had joined forces with Yan Rou and Xianyu Fu to attack Gongsun Zan together, followed the advice of his advisor Ju Shi and others, so he immediately revised a letter and sent an envoy to sneak into Youzhou. He found Guo Xun in Yan Rou's army, gave him the letter written to Su Puyan, and asked Guo Xun to hand it over to Su Puyan in person; and ordered Guo Xun to persuade Su Puyan and others to turn to Yuan Shao.

What this letter said was that Yuan Shao was willing to go to the emperor and asked the emperor to confer Su Puyan and other Hu chieftains as Shanyu.

Chanyu, the meaning of "vast", is equivalent to the monarch of the Han people.

Although Su Puyan had already called himself a king, this "king" was what he called himself, which obviously could not be compared with the Shanyu conferred by the Han court.

I have to say, this is a great temptation.

Su Puyan said, "If Duke Yuan is willing to play the emperor, and ask the emperor to make me a chanyu, of course I have no reason to refuse, but Duke Yuan did this, why?" He asked tentatively, "Is it because Duke Yuan has for me?"

Guo Xun said, "My Duke Ming does have a small matter that he would like to ask the adults."

"What's up?"

"This is something that adults can definitely do."

"What's the matter?"

Guo Xun said: "Since your Excellency led his troops to fight against Gongsun Zan with Yan Rou and Xianyu, there have been two battles before and after Gongsun Bogui. In the first battle, Zou Dan was victorious, but Hu, who was under his command, was victorious. The cavalry also suffered a lot. A few days ago, the lord and others lost to Lu and Gongsun Bogui, and the loss of the knights under the lord's account was even more. I heard the lord's suggestion to Yan Rou that it is better to return to the valley temporarily, dare to ask the lord , is this possible?"

"have."

Guo Xun pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Then I dare to ask the adults, but why do you want to withdraw Shanggu?"

"As you said, two battles in a row were won and then lost, and our army suffered a lot. Why did you withdraw Shanggu? Didn't you ask the question knowingly?"

Guo Xun said: "I have heard that when the enemy enters a battle, one's vigor is in full swing, and then it declines, and three times it's exhausted. Now if the adults and others are withdrawn to Shanggu, the troops of the Wuhuan and Xianbei troops will definitely return to their own troops. Now that the troops are exhausted and the troops are scattered again, I am afraid that it will not be the enemy of Gongsun Bogui! And when Gongsun Bogui sees the Lord and the others retreating to Shanggu, his arrogance will definitely become more and more arrogant. At that time, the stronger the enemy and the weaker the adults, dare to ask the adults, how to deal with it?"

"This……"

Guo Xun said: "Your wise man, you will not see the various drawbacks of returning Shanggu, but knowing that after returning Shanggu, it will be very detrimental to the adults and others, yet you still propose to withdraw Shanggu. puzzled."

Of course I understand Su Puyan rubbing his bare head! Withdrawing Shanggu did more harm than good. But Gongsun Bogui's troops are fierce and fierce. Although you were not in the army a few days ago, you should have heard of it, right? Yan Gong personally led our army's elite cavalry to challenge Gongsun Bogui's troops, but he was beaten by the white horse Yicong under Gongsun Bogui's account with less hits and more attacks, and Yan Gong was even defeated! From this it can be seen that Gongsun Bogui's department is really not something I can do. If this battle goes on, our army will only lose more and more, so I have no choice but to ask for the next step. I suggested to Duke Yan that it is better to withdraw Shanggu first and wait for the times to change. "

The words "Looking at the reality and waiting for change" fell into Guo Xun's ears, but it made him a guest who had been away from Jizhou for a long time and wandered in Youzhou, and brought back a little memory of when he was in Jizhou, giving him a sense of familiarity. Aren't these four words exactly what Ju Shou, Guo Tu and others would often say when discussing the situation in the world with Yuan Shao?

"Let's wait and see." Guo Xun repeated.

Dear, this chapter is not over, there is another page ^0^

Seeing him thinking, Su Puyan asked, "How?"

"That's true, but just like Shicai's analysis, I'm worried, I'm afraid that once your lord and others return to Shanggu, Gongsun Bogui will be unstoppable. Your lord, Gongsun Bogui is not Liu Youzhou, if he is in charge of Youzhou. Authority, how will the life of the adults be like? Needless to say, the adults should also know what to do. Don't say 'the time will change', I'm afraid I can't protect myself!"

With Gongsun Bogui's usual tough attitude towards the Hu people, if he had settled in Youzhou and held the power, Su Puyan would hardly have to think about the days of waiting for the Hu people. Su Puyan also knew that it would be impossible to live. .

Don't talk about the repeated rewards, and don't talk about the mutual market in Shanggu County, these interests will definitely no longer exist, and as long as Gongsun Zan has time, he will definitely go north outside the fortress to kill and rob Su Puyan and other Wuhuan, Xianbei ministries.

Su Puyan did not answer Guo Xun's words.

Guo Xun peeped at Su Puyan's face and saw his worries, and then he got to the point and said calmly, "I have a plan to ensure that this kind of thing will not happen."

Su Puyan said, "What policy?"

Guo Xun said: "As your lord said, Gongsun Bogui's team is very sharp, but your lord, Gongsun Bogui is not without his losses!"

"You mean?"

Guo Xun said: "What I'm talking about is that Gongsun Bogui went south to attack my Jizhou! He invaded my Jizhou several times, but he couldn't get any good. My family is under the Ming government's account, and now there are 300,000 elite soldiers, such as fierce generals. Yun, don't mention anything else, just say that the general Quyi currently stationed in the south of Zhuo County, Gongsun Zan is not his opponent! If the adults and others are willing to join hands with my family Ming Gong to discuss Gongsun Zan, even if Gongsun Zan is brave, why not worry about it? , is the way to break the current difficult situation for the adults."

"You are suggesting that I join forces with Duke Yuan to fight Gongsun Zan together."

Guo Xun said, "I wonder if the adults will obey?"

Su Pu hesitated for a while, and said, "I will not hide it from you. There have been discussions about this in our army before, but Duke Yan did not agree."

Guo Xun said: "Yan Rou is unwilling, I don't know. But I wonder if the adults have thought about why Yan Rou is unwilling?"

Su Puyan said, "Why not?"

"Yan Rou is unwilling, because he has ambitions, he wants to monopolize Youzhou! Your lord, it is not wrong for Yan Rou to have such ambitions. If he has the ability to defeat Gongsun Zan, he will be able to ensure that the interests of the lord and others will not be affected. If it is damaged, then it does not matter if Youzhou belongs to him; the problem now is that he is simply incapable of defeating Gongsun Zan. My lord, this is his fault! At this moment, it is to accommodate Yan Rou and let him be involved. If the interests of the adults and others are damaged, it is better to stop him in time, for the sake of the adults and others, please consider the adults."

Su Puyan asked, "What do you think I should do?"

"Among the current coalition forces, the cavalry of your lord and other ministries account for most of them. If your lord insists on joining forces with my family's Duke Ming, then what if Yan Rou refuses to do so?"

Su Puyan thought again and again, and said, "Please allow me to think about it."

Guo Xun got up and said goodbye.

After Guo Xun left, Yan Rou came back to invite Su Puyan's military officials to come. Su Puyan did not summon first, but discussed with the other Hu chiefs in the tent. Those Hu chieftains were persuaded by Guo Xun, and they all agreed that what Guo Xun said was very reasonable. Since they could not defeat Gongsun Zan, and if they were to withdraw from the ancients, it would indeed be the last resort. Therefore, the only feasible plan now is to cooperate with Yuan Shao joined forces. What's more, Yuan Shao also promised to ask the emperor to seal them as Chanyu, which is the best of both worlds, both real and famous.

All the Hu chiefs agreed on this matter, and Su Puyan no longer called Yan Rou and sent his military officials to invite him to see ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and everyone went to the Baizi tent to discuss the matter.

After entering the account, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, Wei Dun and others were already there.

Yan Rou and others stood up to greet them, Su Piyan and others took off their hats on their chests and returned a salute.

After being seated, Su Puyan said, "Yan Gong called me to wait today, is it Gongsun Zan?"

Yan Rou said: "That's right! Gongsun Zan rewarded the three armies with careful investigation. I guess he will soon go north to attack our army, so I invite you all to come and discuss the strategy against the enemy."

Having said this, Yan Rou paused, and was waiting for him to convince Su Puyan to stop mentioning the words of returning Shanggu when he heard Su Puyan say: "If you want to retreat, I have a plan."

Yan Rou was stunned for a while, and asked, "What policy?"

Su Puyan said: "That is, to join forces with Yuan Benchu, to advance together from the north and the south, and attack Gongsun Zan."
