Chapter 2444: Gongsun Xuanyuan VS Jiang Shang Li Mu (Part 1)
"What? That's impossible."
Wang Jian exclaimed and subconsciously denied it. After realizing his gaffe, he felt a burning pain on his face.
He just said that after reminding the military commanders, they must have heightened their vigilance and would never fall into Jiang Shang's scheme again. Then the news came that Gongsun Xuanyuan had been defeated.
This slap in the face must have come too quickly!
All the generals present, including Wen Zhong, took a breath after hearing the news of Gongsun Xuanyuan's defeat.
hiss……
Like Wang Jian, he felt that this was impossible. After all, Gongsun Xuanyuan and Gongsun Yan were different.
Although both of them were members of the Gongsun family, they were not on the same level in terms of status or prestige.
Gongsun Yan is only slightly famous, but Gongsun Xuanyuan is a world-famous general.
He was there to fight for the Yellow Turbans, he was there to kill Xiang Yu, he was there to destroy the Ming Dynasty, he was there to fight against Dong, he was there during the battle in Hebei...
It can be said that in the past ten years or so, Gongsun Xuanyuan has participated in almost all major events that have occurred in the world and escaped unscathed.
This is only Xuanyuan's record in martial arts, his record in commanding the army is even more dazzling.
Let's put it this way, apart from being betrayed by his own people in Liaodong and suffering some defeats, Gongsun Xuanyuan has never been defeated in a real battle.
It is understandable to be betrayed by one of your own and lose the battle. After all, it is impossible to guard against this kind of thing. No one can guarantee whether the people around you will betray you. Once you encounter it, you can only admit that you are unlucky, so no one can Will use this to attack Xuanyuan.
As for frontal combat, Gongsun Xuanyuan has not yet been defeated. Even if he was forced to run out of ammunition and food by Man Qin in Liaodong, he was still able to escape unscathed and inflicted heavy damage on Man Qin.
Such a record, even those in the Qin army who can achieve it, obviously cannot exceed the number of one palm.
But such a powerful Gongsun Xuanyuan was defeated by the retreating Jiang Shang Wuji when he was chasing him?
Therefore, when everyone present heard the news, they all felt that the news was outrageous.
That was Gongsun Xuanyuan, how could he be defeated so easily?
The main reason why Gongsun Xuanyuan was defeated was Gongsun Yan.
After Gongsun Yan's small defeat, he was filled with reluctance, but the cavalry under his command could no longer fight, and without the cavalry, naturally he would not be able to catch up with Wu Ji's troops.
Gongsun Yan thought about it and decided that he could neither let Wu Ji go easily nor let go of this good opportunity to pursue him. After checking the map, he found that the location of Gongsun Xuanyuan's headquarters was not too far away from him.
Gongsun Xuanyuan's troops are all cavalry, and they are not too far away. Since his troops cannot catch up, he can just let Xuanyuan chase them.
So Gongsun Yan wrote a letter of divorce, and Fei Ge sent a letter to Gongsun Xuanyuan, telling Xuanyuan that due to his carelessness, he not only suffered a small defeat, but also allowed Wu Ji's troops to escape. He hoped that Gongsun Xuanyuan could send troops to pursue him, and reminded him Xuanyuan leads you carefully, don't fall into the trap like him.
At this time, Gongsun Yan had not received the summons from Wang Jian and did not know that Jiang Shang was in Wuji's army. He thought that he had fallen into Wuji's scheme because of his carelessness.
After receiving the summons from Wang Jian, Gongsun Yan realized that he had not lost to Wu Ji, but had been tricked by the famous Jiang Shang.
Although faced with this situation of calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, I am afraid that he would have been defeated by someone else, but a defeat was a defeat. Gongsun Yan could not find an excuse for his defeat, and he realized that he might have deceived Xuanyuan Yi. Bundle.
Gongsun Yan immediately wrote to Gongsun Xuanyuan, but it was obviously too late.
After Gongsun Xuanyuan received Gongsun Yan's message, he was naturally overjoyed. After all, a battalion of Tang soldiers retreated on the plains. If he caught up with them, they would definitely be defeated.
Gongsun Yan, his cousin, asked him to pursue him. He was simply giving him credit. He was truly a good brother of his.
As for Gongsun Yan's reminder, Gongsun Xuanyuan took it to heart, but didn't pay attention to it.
There was a dangerous place to set up an ambush on the Wuzhangyuan side, but after that, it was all plains. Even if Buji wanted to ambush him, there was no place to set an ambush.
Gongsun Xuanyuan didn't know that Jiang Shang was in Wuji's army. He thought that his cousin Gongsun Yan was just careless and fell into Wuji's ambush, so he still didn't pay much attention to Wuji and pursued Wuji with only a thousand cavalry.
Gongsun Xuanyuan also has cities along the way that need to be advanced one by one. It is impossible to allocate too many troops just because of thousands of infantry. Besides, in his opinion, a thousand cavalry is enough for cavalry to fight infantry.
Wu Ji was not a famous general, and his infantry was not elite, and the number was not large. One thousand cavalry was more than enough.
As soon as Gongsun Xuanyuan left, Wang Jian's message arrived, and naturally he didn't know about Jiang Shang's existence.
Jiang Shang led Wu Ji's troops straight to Baling where Li Mu was located. He was extremely cautious along the way and sent out a large number of spies, fearing that the Qin army's cavalry would catch up, but they did not know the news.
Jiang Shanghui was so cautious, naturally because the Qin army on the west route was not only Gongsun Yan's, but three.
Wang Jian, Gongsun Xuanyuan, and Gongsun Yan all belonged to the Qin army on the west route.
Wang Jian's troops also had cavalry, and Gongsun Xuanyuan's troops were all cavalry. As long as one of Wuji's troops was pursued, they would not be able to escape.
Although Jiang Shang had guessed Gongsun Yan's thoughts before, people's hearts are extremely complex and it is obviously not easy to fully understand them.
If Gongsun Yan was concerned about his face and did not tell the other two friendly forces about the defeat of his unit, naturally no Qin army would pursue him.
If Gongsun Yan didn't care about his personal face and told the other two Qin armies, there would probably be Qin army cavalry chasing him.
There are only these two possibilities, and there will not be a third one.
And with the situation of Buji's headquarters, once they are overtaken by the Qin army's cavalry on the plains, they will not be able to run away even if they want to.
With the combat power shown by the Qin army's cavalry, seven hundred cavalry were enough to defeat them, and one thousand cavalry was enough to annihilate them all.
Jiang Shang was not sure whether the Qin army would pursue him, but if he wanted to avoid the second scenario, he had to prepare in advance.
Jiang Shangxiang sent someone to ask Li Mu for help, hoping that Li Mu could send troops to respond. Because of the situation under Wuji's command, if the Qin cavalry really came after them, it would be impossible to escape on their own, and external support would be necessary.
Jiang Shang concluded that since Li Mu wanted to open up the situation, he would never give up this battalion of troops in Bukit, so he would definitely send troops or even personally lead the army to meet them.
However, it will obviously take time for Li Mu's troops to arrive. If the Qin army catches up before then, it will obviously be too late for Li Mu to respond.
Updates to make up for New Year’s Eve vacancies
I saw in the comments section that some readers were complaining about whether or not to reward, and the author was speechless.
After seeing that fans are worth four disciples, the author immediately understood that this person must have watched pirated copies before.
Because old readers who know the author know that until now, the author has rarely asked readers for rewards. He has always only asked for subscriptions.
The author also knows that the majority of readers of this book are students, and the author is also a student. He knows that students have limited spending power, so he does not expect to get many rewards.
If the author remembers correctly, he once said that everyone should not reward me, but just subscribe to support it.
In this regard, the author once again declares that he really does not ask for rewards. As long as he subscribes to support the original version, the author will be satisfied. Thank you.
In fact, the author feels both pain and happiness about the reward.
A small amount of reward is okay, but if the amount is large, it would be unreasonable not to update it.
Please add more updates, there is not enough time, and it will affect future plans.
What do you want me to do?
What can you do for me?
So far, most of the large rewards and bonuses have been paid back. A few have been fooled, but there shouldn't be many.
The Silver Alliance will definitely pay it back this time, but it will take some time.
The author is just an ordinary person. He has to work and code, and he is really busy.
I don’t ask readers to understand, but please don’t be too mean. We are all workers in society, and it is not easy for anyone.
