After Zhao Yun and Zhang He returned to their base camp with their armies and the surrendered Youzhou soldiers and horses, Yan Liang and Wen Chou also led their armies back respectively. They all seemed to be in high spirits, and they must have won a great victory. Qiqi's first release on the entire network
When Yuan Shao saw that all the generals had returned and handed over their orders, he asked Tian Feng to count the harvest and casualties. He and Zhao Yun waited for the results to come out before issuing orders.
After a while, Tian Feng compiled the statistics and handed the results to Yuan Shao for preview. He looked very happy. He knew the results were good at a glance.
"Congratulations, my lord, this is a great victory. From now on, Gongsun Zan will be safe, and things in Youzhou will be settled!"
Hearing Tian Feng's congratulations, Yuan Shao did not say anything. He just took the statistics handed over by Tian Feng and took a closer look, only to find that it was indeed what Tian Feng said. Gongsun Zan can no longer make trouble, he has no capital. This time, his last 200,000 troops were killed and surrendered, and almost the entire army was wiped out. And my loss was minimal, it can be said to be a great victory!
Zhao Yun and the others knew without looking that this was another great victory. Looking at Yuan Shao's expression, they confirmed it. They saw their lord looked proud and followed the military advisor to congratulate him again.
"Congratulations, lord, congratulations, lord. With such a great victory, our army in Hebei will never have a rival from now on!".
"Haha, this is all due to everyone. Now is not the time to celebrate. After Youzhou is pacified, let's celebrate together to the Han Emperor!" Yuan Shao laughed and said a little proudly.
"Thank you, lord. We dare not take credit. This is all because of the lord's planning and the soldiers' heroic efforts without caring about their own lives!" After hearing the lord's promise, the generals were very happy and said humbly together.
While we were talking, we suddenly saw Guo Jia walking in from the outside. Hearing our conversation, he saw that everyone was very excited and a little excited.
"Haha, everyone is very happy, but I don't know if I will get a share of the credit for this contribution."
"Hahahahahahaha", this was a bit naughty and made everyone laugh.
Yuan Shao saw that Guo Jia was being naughty again, and said with a smile, "Fengxiao, you came just in time, and I was about to ask for credit for you. Judging from your appearance, there must be good news, please tell everyone quickly!".
Everyone was also staring at Guo Jia curiously to see what good news the military advisor could tell. With what the Lord said, it must be something big.
Seeing this, Guo Jia said unequivocally, "My lord, you are really good at predicting things. Among the soldiers who surrendered, there are actually people who know the location of Gongsun Zan's Yijing Tower. Now that I have heard it, as long as my lord gives an order, Next, we can go straight to Huanglong!".
It turned out that when Yuan Shao saw his great victory over Gongsun Zan, he expected that Gongsun Zan would no longer be able to resist, so he could only retreat and defend, and resisted stubbornly. It suddenly occurred to me that I could find out the specific location of the tower where Gongsun Zan lived from the soldiers who had surrendered, and then arrange for the soldiers to dig tunnels that could lead directly to the bottom of the tower. In this way, Gongsun Zan can be captured in one fell swoop without any effort. Since Guo Jia had nothing to do and was relatively good at these things, he was given the responsibility. Now that I know the news, I will come over quickly to report.
Seeing Yuan Shao and Guo Jia playing riddles, everyone was really confused. Later, after hearing Guo Jia's report, everyone finally understood that it was so. Everyone enthusiastically praised the good deeds, and another compliment was inevitable.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao quickly told them to stop, as business was more important. The trapped beast is still fighting, not to mention the white horse general Gongsun Zan. Now is not the time to celebrate, so he ordered.
"Where are Tian Feng and Guo Jia?"
"Here", the two of them responded.
"Tian Feng is responsible for recruiting the captured soldiers in Youzhou. He must carefully select the sons of good families who are innocent and willing to surrender to contribute to our army. Fengxiao is fully responsible for the task of getting through to Gongsun Zan's building within five days. Done, no mistakes!”
"It's my lord, I'll take the order and promise to complete the mission!" the two said excitedly.
Yuan Shao had full confidence in their abilities, otherwise he would not have arranged such an important task. Seeing their stance, he nodded with relief and continued to order.
"Let the generals continue to strengthen the guards at each city gate to prevent Gongsun Zan from jumping over the wall and abandoning the city. Especially the north gate and east gate, we must be careful and careful not to let the enemy escape. In this regard, Yan Liang and Wen Chou General, you must pay attention. Once there is a mistake, military law will be enforced, and everyone must not take it lightly!"
"It's your lord, we obey your orders, please don't worry, lord," the generals said after receiving the order.
Wen Chou defended the east gate. Hearing his lord's special reminder, Wen Chou didn't take it seriously and said a little arrogantly.
"Lord, don't worry, as long as I am with Wen Chou, even a sparrow will not let him fly out. As for Gongsun Zan, if he dares to come, I will let him go underground to accompany his brother!"
Yuan Shao did not comment on Wen Chou's statement, but just told him to be careful and not to take it lightly. After another explanation, everyone was asked to go down and prepare well, and the battle was completed!
At this time, Gongsun Zan was not so happy, especially after asking his son Gongsun Xu to count our casualties, he became even more angry. It's really a shame and a great humiliation. I, Gongsun Zan, have been in Hebei for half my life, powerful in the desert, and a hero all my life. I don't want the boat to capsize in the gutter this time, not to mention the loss of soldiers and generals, but also the destruction of my heroic reputation for the rest of my life!
But the matter has reached this point and is irreversible. It is better to arrange the funeral arrangements as soon as possible. I'll let it go like this for the rest of my life, but Xu'er still has a bright future, so he can't follow me and die in vain. If there is a chance in the future, he will avenge himself!
When Gongsun Xu carefully told Gongsun Zan the results he had calculated personally. The expected angry voice of his father did not sound, but was very silent, and did not say a word for a long time.
Gongsun Xu was a little worried and carefully asked, "Father, are you okay? What should we do now?"
Seeing that his son cared about him very much, Gongsun Zan nodded happily and gave instructions instead of answering his question directly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine as a father. This little storm can't hit me. Now I have a confidential matter that I want to leave to you to complete. I wonder if you dare to go?"
Seeing that his father was not decadent, but had a calm look on his face, looking a bit strategizing, Gongsun Xu felt relieved. Now that he heard his father's orders, he would do his part.
"Father has an order, and the child dare not disobey. Please give the general's orders, and the general will ensure that the mission is completed!"
Seeing that his son expressed his position in a very formal manner, Gongsun Zan was very satisfied and explained without hiding anything.
"Xu'er, you set off immediately. Escape from Youbeiping through the secret passage under the tower where I live. Don't look back all the way to Liaoxi County. Mr. Tian Kai is waiting for you there, and he will arrange what you do. You must listen to him, remember, remember!”
It turns out that although Tian Kai was imprisoned, it did not mean that Gongsun Zan would not reuse him. It just allowed him to calm down. The situation was critical before, and he had been invited out by Gongsun Zan to discuss countermeasures. Now he was entrusted with an important task, and he had already been sent out to act secretly, so Gongsun Xu didn't know about it. The fastest updated Qiqi m.qq*717^.com/ mq^^om/
Although I was very surprised as to why Mr. Tian Kai escaped to Liaoxi, Gongsun Xu couldn't care so much now, so he didn't ask in detail. Seeing that his father was clearly explaining his funeral arrangements, he quickly dissuaded him and expressed his stance.
"Father, no, my child will not go. I want to fight side by side with you. The men of my Gongsun family would rather die standing than live on their knees!"
"This is a military order. Anyone who doesn't obey will be killed. Besides, this is an order from my father. How dare you disobey? Then I won't have a son like you." Although he was pleased with his son's performance, Gongsun Zan got angry and said fiercely.
Gongsun Xu had no choice but to dissuade his father again and again, but Gongsun Zan refused to listen and even showed his father's majesty with military orders. There was no other way, so Gongsun Xu had no choice but to follow his father's arrangement, leave You Beiping, and go to find Tian Kai.
Looking at his son's retreating figure, Gongsun Zan was very pleased and secretly thought that our Gongsun family had a successor. Yuan Shao, just wait for me. This matter is not over yet. Xuer will avenge me!
