Gongsun Zan led the army and took the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang back to the camp. Counting the men and horses, we lost 2,000 men and horses, and the general Shan Jing was very sad.
General Yan Gang was ordered to prepare his troops and fight Yuan Shao tomorrow.
After Gongsun Zan had prepared the food and wine, he asked his men to invite Liu Bei to his tent for a few drinks.
On the one hand, he was grateful to Liu Bei for traveling thousands of miles to help, but on the other hand, he was feeling irritable and depressed and wanted to drink away his sorrows.
After a while, Gongsun Zan's men arrived with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei opened the tent and saw that the food and wine were ready. Gongsun Zan had been waiting for a long time.
When Gongsun Zan saw Liu Bei arriving, he greeted him without getting up.
"My dear brother, please sit down quickly and have a few drinks with me. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing Gongsun Zan's behavior, Liu Bei shook his head without any trace, sighing in his heart.
Gongsun Zan was mediocre, at least not a qualified commander. We suffered a huge defeat today, and now we should be visiting and sympathizing with the injured soldiers, re-energizing their morale, and regrouping. Or see if you can make a sneak attack if you have the chance to regain your position.
But now he is drinking and having fun by himself, looking like he is winning the battle, which can't help but make you sigh.
He will not be Yuan Shao's opponent, he will die soon, and he cannot stay here for a long time. He should leave as soon as possible if he has the chance. Of course, these are what Liu Bei has in mind.
Liu Bei was thinking as he walked. With a normal expression, he sat next to Gongsun Zan's servant and drank a few drinks with him.
Seeing that Gongsun Zan was in a good mood, he suggested, "Brother Bogui, I'll be blunt, now is not the time to drink."
Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan were classmates. Those who knew his character could only follow him and not go against him. You have to wait until he is in a good mood before making suggestions, otherwise he will definitely get angry. That’s why I put forward my opinions and suggestions at this time.
Oh, Gongsun Zan was very surprised by Liu Bei's reaction and asked curiously, "Xuande, what do you want to teach me?"
Liu Bei then said, "I don't want to take the advice seriously. I just don't know if my brother wants to take revenge for what happened during the day."
Hearing Liu Bei pick up his scar, Gongsun Zan was a little angry to be honest, but he still asked patiently, "What do you have in mind?"
Liu Bei knew that he was a little impatient, so he hurriedly said, "Yuan Shao won a small victory today, otherwise he would have celebrated in a big way. Our army just took advantage of the opportunity to attack at night to cover up the killing. We can win a complete victory to repay today's defeat."
When he first heard Liu Bei say that Yuan Shao's victory would be celebrated grandly, Gongsun Zan was a little unhappy. I can only drink wine, but you are very happy. I feel very angry instantly, gnashing my teeth, and want to teach Yuan Shao a lesson and regain his reputation.
Without interrupting Liu Bei's speech, when Liu Bei finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found an opportunity for revenge.
He stood up immediately and said excitedly, "Haha, it's not Xuande. I really don't understand. I'm going to gather the army now to give Yuan Shao a big gift."
As he was about to gather men and horses to take revenge, Liu Bei stopped him and suggested, "Brother Bogui, don't be anxious. It's still early. Let's drink first and wait until the moon is dark and the sky is high before we can act."
"Haha, what Xuande said is true, come and continue drinking." Gongsun Zan was not stupid. He came to his senses and asked Liu Bei to continue drinking and wait until dark.
Liu Bei did not refuse, and accompanied Gongsun Zan to slowly taste the wine, waiting for it to get dark.
The setting sun was still shining, twilight was gradually rising, and it was getting dark before my eyes.
After Yan Gang settled his troops, he came to the gate of Gongsun Zan's camp and asked for instructions and reports.
"Reporting to my lord, the troops and horses have been settled. Please tell me the command for patrolling the camp tonight."
Gongsun Zan laughed and said, "Haha, tonight's command is night attack."
Yan Gang was confused. Is there such a password?
It was Liu Bei who explained, "General, you came just in time. We are looking for you. Brother Bogui plans to attack Yuan Shao's camp tonight."
After hearing Liu Bei's explanation, Yan Gang understood and said excitedly, "Please give the order, my lord. I am willing to lead an army to attack Yuan Shao's camp."
Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said, "No need. I will personally lead the army tonight. You can just stay at the camp."
Yan Gang repeatedly asked for orders, but Gongsun Zan refused to obey. He had no choice but to accept the order and stay in the camp. However, he was worried and said, "I'm afraid it will be a mistake for the lord to be alone. It is better to let the two generals Zou Dan and Guan Jing accompany the lord."
Gongsun Zan agreed. He was not stupid. He knew that Zou Dan and Guan Jing might not be the opponents of Yuan Shao's generals.
He turned to Liu Bei and said with a somewhat tough attitude, "I wonder if I can ask General Yun Chang to come with me?"
Poor Liu Bei, his power was originally weak, and he only got to this position because of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu. So I treat them very dearly, for fear that something will happen to them.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. Liu Bei originally wanted to refuse, but he was forced to do this, so he had to bite the bullet and replied, "I don't dare to say goodbye even if I have my wish."
Haha, this made Gongsun Zan very happy, so he gathered an army of 10,000 and took Zou Dan and Guan Jing to attack and intercept the camp at night.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei led their three thousand troops, sponsored by Gongsun Zan. Under the nagging of Liu Bei's thousands of warnings and instructions, he set off with Gongsun Zan and took over from behind.
It was night, the moon was bright and the wind was clear, just in time for a fight.
Gongsun Zan led the army, with their men and horses wrapped in hooves, and quietly arrived at Yuan Shao's camp.
Seeing that the gate was closed and no one was guarding it, I thought they were celebrating their victory.
Gongsun Zan was overjoyed and took the lead. Zou Dan and Guan Jing led the army to follow closely behind and went straight into the camp.
Zan's army pushed aside the antlers, stepped through the camp gate, and opened three tents in succession, only to find that no one was there.
Guan Jing reacted instantly and reminded, "No, the enemy is already prepared. Lord, let's retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Gongsun Zan suddenly woke up and shouted, "Retreat quickly, the enemy is ambushing you." After saying this, he turned his horse's head and prepared to escape.
Before Zan Jun could react, he saw his lord running away and heard shouting again. He also understood and hurriedly ran away. The camp was instantly in chaos.
At this moment, only the sound of a cannon was heard, and Zhao Yun led the army to fight out and shouted.
"Gongsun Zan, you have been ambushed by my lord. Quickly dismount and surrender before I take action."
"Quickly dismount and accept surrender."
"Quickly dismount and accept surrender."
"Quickly dismount and accept surrender."
Yuan Shaojun shouted in unison, asking Gongsun Zan to surrender. The sound of the sound made Zan's army frightened, and they instantly lost their fighting power and fled in all directions.
Seeing Zhao Yun being so arrogant, Gongsun Zan was very angry and wanted to go up and teach him a lesson, but he realized that he was no match for Zhao Yun.
He had no choice but to swallow his anger and run wildly with his generals without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun asked his soldiers to inform Yuan Shao of the situation here. He led his army to chase after him, collected the defeated troops, and went to pursue Gongsun Zan.
