Let's say that Gongsun Yue led his cavalry and ran all the way, preparing to join his eldest brother Gongsun Zan to deal with Yuan Shao's attack.
After traveling less than fifty miles, a group of soldiers and horses appeared on the side of the road and blocked the road, saying, "I am the general of Prime Minister Dong's family!".
It turned out that Zhang Liao and Yuan Fang were chasing Gongsun Yue with their cavalry, pretending to be Dong Zhuo's men.
Gongsun Yue said nothing and rushed over with his cavalry.
For a time, there were shouts of killing, and the cavalry was fighting in great chaos.
Given Gongsun Yue's martial arts skills, how could he be Zhang Liao's opponent? After only a few rounds of fighting, Gongsun Yue felt that he was no match for him and wanted to quit.
It's a pity that Yuan Fang and his men blocked the way, and they couldn't escape in a hurry.
Fortunately, his cavalry were brave and fought to the death, so Gongsun Yue was able to escape with his injuries. However, the cavalry they brought were almost killed, and Zhang Liao and the others did not pursue them and returned to their posts.
Gongsun Zan fled, injured, and saw Gongsun Zan, and told the story in a more exaggerated manner.
Gongsun Zan was furious, "Yuan Shao tricked me into raising troops to attack Han Fu, but he took advantage of it. Now he tricked Dong Zhuo into shooting and wounding my brother. How can I not avenge this injustice!"
So he asked Gongsun Yue to go back to his hometown to recuperate from his injuries, and then he used his own troops to kill and rush to Jizhou.
Yuan Shao knew that Gongsun Zan's troops had arrived, so he came out with his army to fight.
The two armies met on the Panhe River, Shao's army camped on the east of Panhe Bridge, and Zan's army camped on the west of the bridge.
Gongsun Zan was impatient, so he led three thousand soldiers and horses before setting up camp. He led three generals Shan Jing, Zou Dan, and Guan Jing out to call for battle. He left General Yan Gang to guard his home and respond later.
Gongsun Zan looked down on Yuan Shao very much. He rode on the bridge alone and shouted, "You traitor, how dare you betray me!"
Yuan Shao also led Yan Liang and Wen Chou, led five thousand men and horses, and rode to the bridge. He said to Zan, "Han Fu has no talent. He is willing to give up Jizhou to me. What does it have to do with you?"
Gongsun Zan was unhappy and said, "In the past, I regarded you as loyal and loyal, and promoted you as the leader of the alliance. What you have done now is a true wolf-hearted person. How can you stand in the world!"
Yuan Shao said angrily, "Who can capture him?"
Before he finished speaking, Wen Chou beside him rode his horse and pointed his gun, and went straight to the bridge to kill him.
Gongsun Zan confronted Wen Chou on the bridge. How could he be Wen Chou's opponent? After less than ten battles, Gongsun Zan was weak and unable to resist. He was defeated and ran away. Wen Chou took advantage of the situation to catch up.
Zan walked into the formation, and Wen Chou flew into the center of the army on flying horses, causing conflicts. Zan's three capable men fought together.
The group fought against Wen Chou. Wen Chou showed great strength and stabbed Shan Jing with a spear, dismounting his horse, and the other two generals left.
When Gongsun Zan saw that the situation was not good, he ignored his soldiers and fled towards the valley.
Seeing that Wen Chou was victorious, Yuan Shao waved his hand and sent out five thousand soldiers and horses. Zan's army was defeated.
He led Yan Liang and chased Gongsun Zan behind Wen Chou.
After Wen Chou drove Gongsun Zan out of the battle, he suddenly rode behind and shouted loudly, "Quickly dismount and accept the surrender!"
Gongsun Zan didn't answer. He let his hair down and rode on horseback. All his bows and arrows fell, and his helmet fell to the ground. He was very embarrassed and ran away straight to his camp.
Wen Chou kept chasing after him, watching as he gradually caught up. Gongsun Zan had no choice but to run around the hillside, hoping to get rid of Wen Chou. Suddenly his horse lost sight of him, knocking Gongsun Zan over and falling down the slope.
Seeing this as a good opportunity, Wen Chou hurriedly twisted his spear to stab him, hoping to kill him with one shot.
At the critical moment, I suddenly saw a black-faced general turning out from the left side of the grass slope. His flying horse raised his spear and went straight for Wen Chou.
Gongsun Zan went up the slope and saw that the general was Zhang Fei, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Fei and Wen Chou fought fifty or sixty times, and the battle was so intense that the winner was still undecided.
Yuan Shao arrived first, followed by Yan Liang with five thousand troops to support Wen Chou.
Seeing this, Gongsun Zan was very anxious and wanted to tell Zhang Fei to retreat quickly. The enemy army was too powerful to defeat him.
Before he could speak, he heard loud shouts from behind the mountain, and a group of men and horses flashed out, led by three generals, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Yan Gang.
It turned out that Yan Gang was in his camp and saw Gongsun Zan defeated and was chased by Wen Chou. Hurriedly led the army to respond.
On the way, he met Liu Bei and his brothers coming to help Gongsun Zan resist Yuan Shao, so they joined forces. Zhang Fei was impatient and galloped on his horse to support Gongsun Zan first.
Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and gathered together to watch Zhang Fei fight Wen Chou.
Yuan Shao saw that Gongsun Zan's reinforcements had arrived, as well as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. He knew that it was impossible to kill Gongsun Zan today.
He made a decisive decision and asked Yan Liang to withdraw his troops and call Wen Chou back to the camp. Yan Liang accepted the order and immediately issued a gold medal. Wen Chou knew he was about to retreat, so he used his two spears to deflect Zhang Fei's offensive, retreated, and followed Yuan Shao back.
Zhang Fei had no choice but to return to his own formation and meet his eldest brother Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan.
Gongsun Zan rode his horse and came to Liu Bei, cupping his fists and saying, "It wasn't Xuande. I was in such a state of embarrassment today that I almost died because of this."
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Brother, you don't have to be like this. Brother Bogui has great blessings, and good people have their own destiny."
"Haha, I wonder why my virtuous brother is here?" Gongsun Zan asked, laughing non-stop.
Liu Bei lied, "Because I found out that my brother was fighting with Yuan Shao in the plains, I was afraid of losing something, so I came here to help in the battle."
In fact, the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou rose up again. With Guan Hai and others as their leaders, they gathered millions of people to attack cities and territories and invade the plains. Liu Bei is a small general and knows that he is not his opponent. So he discussed with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to abandon the city and escape. I thought I had nowhere to go, so I had no choice but to come and seek refuge with Gongsun Zan. On the way, I heard that he and Yuan Shao were fighting for Jizhou, so he came here and said this.
Gongsun Zan believed it to be true and was overjoyed, so they all returned to the stronghold to reorganize their armor and soldiers in preparation for the war.
Yuan Shao led Yan Liang and Wen Chou back to the army. On the way, they met Zhao Yun leading the army to meet them, so they returned to the camp in victory together.
When they arrived at the camp, Zhang Liao and Jushou had been waiting for a long time. Only Guo Jia was not there, so he might not have woken up yet.
After everyone greeted him, Jushou reminded him, "My lord, Gongsun Zan has been defeated for a while today. He will not be reconciled. He may take revenge tonight."
After hearing what he said, Yuan Shao also responded and confirmed, "Sir, what you mean is that Gongsun Zan will come to intercept the camp tonight."
Jushou affirmed, "It must be so, so we should prepare in advance."
Yuan Shao nodded, agreed, and ordered to Yuan Fang, "Notify me that all the soldiers will not take off their armor or unsaddle their horses tonight, and will wait for Gongsun Zan to come."
"yes"
Yuan Fang took the order and left, then went down to inform the entire army.
Yuan Shao then ordered: "Yan Liang led an army on the left, and Wen Chou led an army on the right. When they heard the sound of cannon, they rushed out and cut off Gongsun Zan's retreat."
"I will obey my Lord's orders"
Yan Liang and Wen Chou were ordered to go and select their troops.
Seeing that all the generals have tasks, Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao are also looking forward to their orders.
Yuan Shao did not disappoint them and said.
"Order Zhang Liao to ambush Gongsun Zan's army after it must pass by our army. If he sees their troops, he will let them go first. Wait for my side to be defeated, and then give a fatal blow, so that Gongsun Zan can be captured."
"promise"
Zhang Liao was very excited and led his troops to ambush.
Yuan Shao solemnly said to Zhao Yun, "Zilong has the most important task. I saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arriving today. I guess they will come to intercept the camp in the evening, so I will leave it to Zilong to deal with them."
Zhao Yun was very grateful when he heard that Yuan Shao valued him so much and promised, "Please rest assured, my lord, Yun will live up to his trust."
Yuan Shao was very satisfied and asked Professor Ju for advice, "I have arranged it this way. Sir, do you have anything to add?"
Jushou praised with certainty, "My lord, the plan has been made. Gongsun Zan will be defeated."
"Hahaha"
Hearing his compliment made Yuan Shao burst into laughter.
The arrangements were made, and we were waiting for Gongsun Zan to come.
