On this day, Gongsun Zan led his men to inspect the camps as usual, especially the four gate towers which were the key areas.
After the Youzhou soldiers had a bit of a riot last time, he no longer dared to take it lightly. Not only did he personally guard it, but he also asked his son Gongsun Xu to patrol around with elite troops to prevent any mistakes.
The messenger sent out to ask for help has been out for many days, and if there is any news, it will only be in these few days. I hope that reinforcements can arrive soon. This day is really a bit frustrating, and Gongsun Zan is very depressed. He was just waiting for the reinforcements to arrive so that he could kill himself and kill Yuan Shao to relieve the depression and anger of these days.
Thinking like this, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps. Gongsun Zan felt a little sleepy now, so he took a nap on the tower where he was.
Just when he was about to fall asleep, he was woken up by this sound. Gongsun Zan was a little angry at that time. He opened his eyes and wanted to see who was so short-sighted and dared to disturb my rest. He really didn't want to live anymore.
When I looked up, I instantly lost my temper and was no longer angry. On the contrary, I was very happy.
It turned out that Gongsun Xu led a soldier who looked like a messenger over. Although he didn't know why the messenger he reported didn't come back with him, and he didn't know where the people came to support him. But it must be a good thing to know. You can tell by looking at his son's expression, he looks excited and happy.
Before Gongsun Zan could ask, Gongsun Xu said impatiently, "Father is very happy. This is the messenger from Zhang Yan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army. General Zhang Yan responded to his father's call and has personally led an army of 400,000 people. He is coming to Youzhou." On the way, prepare to deal with Yuan Shao together."
What, the 400,000-strong army was led by Zhang Yan himself. Although I knew it was a good thing, I didn’t expect the surprise to come so quickly!
Although Gongsun Zan has never met Zhang Yan, he has been known as "Feiyan" in Jizhou for a long time. I know that after Zhang Niujiao's death, Zhang Yan became the commander of the Black Mountain Army.哽噺繓赽奇奇奇奇影院盧|w~w~w.
Although they lost some of their troops in the last battle with Yuan Shao, they are still very powerful. There are no less than 500,000 troops under his command and a population of several million. It can be regarded as another major force in Hebei besides himself and Yuan Shao. I feel that if I and Yuan Shao weren't suppressing me, the whole of Hebei wouldn't be sure who would win!
"For the messenger named Marshal Zhang, please see General Mu Gongsun of Youzhou," the messenger said in a hoarse voice.
When he saw Zhang Yan's messenger, his armor was cracked in many places, his face was dusty, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked exhausted. One glance showed that he had not had a good rest, and he must have been running day and night to deliver the letter.
Gongsun Zan was convinced and deeply moved. He said, "Thank you for your hard work, envoy. I would like to thank you in advance. Please keep your story short. After you finish speaking, go down and take a rest. You are too tired!" .
Zhang Yan's messenger was a little grateful and thanked him, "Thank you, General, for your concern. I'm fine. Here is a letter written by my commander-in-chief. I would like to ask the General to read it!"
As he spoke, he took out the letter that he had hidden close to his body and handed it to Gongsun Zan. Judging from the fact that the letter was kept close to his body and the messenger was in a hurry and sweating, he probably couldn't read it.
Gongsun Zan took the letter and read it carefully. Sure enough, the handwriting was blurred and could not be read.
Seeing this, the messenger was very embarrassed and explained, "I'm really sorry, this is my fault. The general's messenger and I came back together to report the message. As we walked, we were almost at the city gate. But I met a general from Yuan Shao. At that time, I thought I was going to die here, but the general’s subordinates fought desperately to find a way for me. Only then did I come to the general. Because I was in a hurry, I got the general’s letter. It’s broken, it’s really a capital crime!”.
Gongsun Zan originally trusted this messenger very much, and after hearing his explanation, he became even more convinced. Look at how reassuring and trustworthy his subordinates are. Unlike the soldiers under his own subordinates, he really doesn’t want to talk about it!
Gongsun Zan admired the soldier very much, and of course he would not blame him. He comforted him and said, "You are very good. Don't be like this. This is not your fault. If you want to blame it, blame it on the hateful Yuan Shao. Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. When I see Zhang General Yan, I will intercede for you."
"Thank you, General. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life," the soldier said with some emotion.
"Hahahahahahaha" made Gongsun Zan burst into laughter.
After a while, when Gongsun Zan stopped laughing, he said again, "Although the letter from my coach to the general cannot be read clearly, our general has already explained the content, and he may have expected it. I don't know, can I verbally Tell it to the general?"
After hearing the content of the letter, the soldier remembered it. Gongsun Zan was overjoyed at that time. I was a little anxious immediately and said very happily.
"That's great, tell me quickly, you will be rewarded heavily if you tell me!"
When he heard about the reward, the soldier's eyes lit up and he said happily, "General Mingjian, after my lord received the general's letter asking for help, he didn't dare to neglect it. He discussed it with his subordinates at that time and decided to send a large army to come to the rescue. Now my lord is in charge together." We raised an army of 400,000 and marched all the way towards Youzhou in a mighty way. We were going to work with the general inside and outside to annihilate Yuan Shao in retaliation for the poisonous hatred of our Black Mountain. I was afraid that the general would be impatient, so I asked the villain to go ahead and report. I wonder what the general’s intention is?”
Hearing the soldier's report, Gongsun Zan was overjoyed. At that time, he promised, "Okay, okay, General Zhang is such a cheerful person. It's so late to meet him. Please rest assured, as soon as his army arrives, I will kill him from the city." Come out, cooperate with him inside and outside, and defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop. After that, the land will be divided equally. Yuan Shao's life and death will be decided by you!"
"So, on behalf of my lord, I would like to thank the general. My lord and the general agreed that when they arrive, they will raise a fire as a signal. Let me inform you in advance to avoid any delays!" He heard the answer he wanted. , the soldier pretended to be very happy and explained again.
"Yes, you can reply to General Zhang and reassure him. When you raise fire as a signal, it will be the day when my army will leave the city and fight Yuan Shao to the death, and it will also be the time for General Zhang to take revenge!" Gongsun Zan was also unambiguous. , expressed his position.
The soldier immediately agreed, saying that we would definitely arrive in time and there would be no delay.
Afterwards, after discussing the details. This soldier declined Gongsun Zan's repeated attempts to stay, saying that he would tell his lord about the situation here earlier so that he could advance into the army as soon as possible so that he could destroy Yuan Shao's army.
Seeing that he was so loyal and relatively righteous, Gongsun Zan did not persuade him to stay and asked him to pay attention to safety on the road. He personally escorted him out of the city and rewarded him with gold, silver, jewels, etc.
After the messengers left, Gongsun Zan asked his son to inform the entire army and be prepared. Once General Zhang Yan raises fire as a signal, we will fight together, cooperate inside and outside, and destroy Yuan Shao's army.
