Not to mention that Gongsun Zan took his second and third brothers to discuss the next performance against Yuan Shao's army.
It is said that after Yuan Shao received the reminder from Guo Jia and Tian Feng, he knew that the dust was flying in front and there seemed to be an infinite number of troops arriving. They must be enemies rather than friends.
Immediately making a decision, Wen Chou asked Jin to withdraw his troops, and notified Zhao Yun and Yan Liang to take the tiger and leopard cavalry back to the camp. By the time Gongsun Zan came to his senses, they had already returned to the city together.
After returning to the city, the generals such as Guo Jia, Tian Feng, and Zhang He who had stayed behind naturally came out to assist them. When Yuan Shao saw them, he naturally expressed his gratitude. Thanks to Tian Feng's reminder, a big battle was avoided and his precious cavalry was prevented from being fatally injured.
After a while, Zhao Yun, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other generals who went on the expedition came back with their tiger and leopard cavalry. Yuan Shao felt relieved when he saw that everyone was safe.
Today can be regarded as a victory, so Yuan Shao asked Zhao Yun and others to settle down the soldiers first, and then come to the governor's house to celebrate and discuss the next countermeasures.
After Zhao Yun and Yan Liang settled the soldiers who were going on the expedition and counted the casualties today, they rushed towards the meeting hall without stopping.
When they arrived at the meeting hall, they found that all the troops had arrived, and they were the last to arrive. At this time, Yuan Shao had been waiting for a long time and was discussing with everyone the strategies and countermeasures for dealing with Gongsun Zan in the future.
The two of them pushed the door open without any delay. Wen Chou naturally did not stop him and let them in, while he still stood guard at the door. According to the lord's instructions, he stood guard at the door to protect the safety of the lord and ministers while preventing others from disturbing him.
When Yuan Shao saw Zhao Yun and Yan Liang arriving, he invited them to sit down and continued to discuss the strategy to deal with Gongsun Zan.
"Oh, Zilong and Yan Liang, come here and sit down quickly. I'm waiting for you. I've just started discussing with everyone, and you can come up with your ideas."
"Thank you, Lord." The two thanked each other and sat down to wait for the Lord's instructions.
Seeing that everyone was here, Tian Feng continued to report, "My lord, after Gongsun Zan's defeat this time, I thought he would be out of his mind and would never dare to speak bravely again."
Yuan Shao smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Zhao Yun, "Zilong, I wonder what the casualties of our army are this time?"
Zhao Yun reported without any hesitation, "Lord, this time our army was 30,000 against 50,000. Although we achieved a great victory, we killed 1,000 enemies and suffered 800 losses. We are causing 10,000 casualties to the Baima Yicong." , he also lost 6,000 troops." Qiqi's first release on the entire network
What, there were six thousand people. Although he knew that his men and horses had suffered losses, he did not expect that the losses would be so great. One-fifth of the losses were caused in one fell swoop. Although it doesn't hurt my muscles and bones, it is still very distressing.
I saw that my lord didn't speak for a long time after listening to his report. He should feel sorry for his loss and feel a little hard to think about it.
Zhao Yun was so moved that he had to comfort Yuan Shao and said, "Please don't be sad, my lord. We are fighting on the battlefield. These losses are unavoidable, so don't worry about it."
Yuan Shao listened to Zhao Yun's persuasion, nodded in agreement, and continued to ask Tian Feng, "How does Yuan Hao think Gongsun Zan will behave after his injuries this time?"
Without thinking, Tian Feng said confidently, "If my prediction is correct, Gongsun Zan will most likely return to his home base. He wants to rely on the defense of his base camp to prevent my army from advancing eastward and resist stubbornly."
After hearing Tian Feng's judgment, Yuan Shao agreed and became interested, so he asked, "If Gongsun Zan does this, what do you think our army should do?"
"Haha, Gongsun Zan is just sitting in a difficult situation. He is just drinking poison to quench his thirst. Lord, don't worry, Youzhou will belong to us sooner or later, Gongsun Zan is nothing to worry about!" Tian Feng said with a smile.
"Haha, if it goes as expected, it would be really gratifying," Yuan Shao said with a smile.
After Yuan Shao finished laughing, he confirmed to Guo Jia, "I don't know about Shadow Guards. Is there any latest news?"
Guo Jia immediately said to him, "Lord, they have already received one-sided news, and I was about to report it. According to the news they sent back, I analyzed it and found that Gongsun Zan really wanted to make a big move, and it should be with Yuan As Mr. Hao expected, he is planning to return to his hometown to resist. The complete information has not been received and cannot be finalized."
After that, Guo Jia didn't know what he thought of. He was a little funny and continued, "Now there is something interesting. Our White Horse General is going to give us a show. He wants to build a plank road for the lord in the open and secretly visit Chencang."
After listening to Guo Jia's report, Yuan Shao finally understood Gongsun Zan's final intention. At this time, he did not give up resistance and wanted to put on a show to fool people.
Yuan Shao thought for a while, expressed his affirmation, and then said, "En'en, Fengxiao, please pay attention to collecting the follow-up information. Once you have the latest information, report it immediately without delay."
Guo Jia nodded and said he understood. Please rest assured, my lord, I will pay attention to this information.
It seems that Gongsun Zan is very likely to abandon this place and fight to the death with him when he returns to his hometown. Yuan Shao could only say hehehe, it was just so whimsical. If you want to leave, have you asked me? This is not a place where you can just leave if you want to.
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao made a decision and ordered, "Where are Zhao Yun and Yan Liang?"
"Here", Zhao Yun and Yan Liang heard the lord's call and responded.
"I order you two to continue leading your tiger and leopard cavalry to challenge Gongsun Zan's camp tomorrow morning. I don't ask you to kill many enemies, but I ask you to harass them and find out more information."
"It's my lord!"
Seeing Generals Zhao Yun and Yan Liang taking their orders, Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Where are Zhang He and Wen Chou?"
"The general is here," Zhang He and Wen Chou responded, waiting for their lord to take orders.
"Each of you will lead a group of troops and ambush Gongsun Zan on his way back to Youbeiping. When Gongsun Zan returns there, you will fight out together. Although he cannot completely wipe out his army, the merits of this trip will not be too small. ".
"Thank you, Lord, I will definitely live up to your trust." The two of them were overjoyed when they heard this and accepted the order excitedly.
After all the generals had made arrangements, Yuan Shao said to Tian Feng and Guo Jiada, "I'd like to ask you two gentlemen to join me in Fanyang City to watch Gongsun Zan's performance from above."
"Haha, thank you so much, lord!"
"Hehe, Jia also wants to see what kind of performance our White Horse General can give us!"
"Hahahahahaha"
"Hahahahahaha"
After hearing Guo Jia's somewhat funny words, everyone burst out laughing.
The allocation has been decided, and the generals have taken their tasks and left. Yuan Shao also took his two military advisors to sit on the top of Fanyang City, drinking and enjoying Gongsun Zan's funny performance.
