At this stage, the two most powerful members of the northern princes alliance have expressed their opinions one after another, and now only Guan Yu and Di Qing, representing Liu Bei and Dou Jiande, are left.
Guan Yu was struggling at this time. The benefits of killing Li Xiang were too great. With Li Xiang here, his brother Liu Bei's dream of regaining the Han Dynasty would always be blocked by a huge and insurmountable mountain.
But now, the opportunity to move this mountain was placed in front of him...
If he didn't seize this opportunity, how could he be willing to do it?
However, he also knew that if he chose to pursue it, there would definitely be risks behind it.
"Second General, it's okay to chase him!" Gongsun Yan reminded quietly at this time.
Li Xiang's thousand men are all cavalry, and they have one man and three horses. If they want to chase, they can only use cavalry to chase, and they must be the most elite cavalry.
Those who can carry out this task can only mobilize troops from Yuan Shao's men, or mobilize troops from Han Xin's hands.
Even if there is danger, it will be borne by other princes.
However, if we can really kill Li Xiang during the pursuit, then the benefits will belong to everyone.
From Gongsun Yan's point of view, this business is obviously a business that can make a profit without losing any money.
As for whether being ambushed during the pursuit would affect the subsequent attack on Li Xiang, the most powerful prince in the world, this is not a problem in Gongsun Yan's opinion.
Even if they wanted to pursue, they wouldn't be chasing with 300,000 people. Isn't this nonsense? As he thought before, only elite cavalry could be used, and this number was definitely limited.
If you were caught in an ambush, you would certainly be distressed by the loss, but the 300,000-strong army is still there...
Moreover, the closest ones are Han Xin or Yuan Shao's troops. However, these two princes are the two strongest in Hebei. Their strength is weakened, which is of great benefit to Liu Bei.
If they don't take advantage of this battle to weaken their strength, it will be difficult for Liu Bei to develop even if he reaches Li Xiang.
Therefore, for Gongsun Yan, the problems they are currently worried about are not actually a problem for him.
"Then chase!" Guan Yu had originally been interested, but now that he had Gongsun Yan's support, he finally made up his mind immediately and made his own decision.
"I also agree to chase him for a while!" Di Qing was the last to say.
If you do too much, you will make too many mistakes. Therefore, unless necessary, Li Xiang will not contact Di Qing. It is even more impossible for Di Qing to know what kind of battle plan Li Xiang has.
.
However, Di Qing also believed that it was impossible for Li Xiang not to make preparations behind the scenes. Instead of doing this, he might as well push the boat along.
The situation was three to one. Among the four families, only Han Xin's family was opposed. Therefore, with the minority obeying the majority, the tone of pursuit was also set.
However, based on Han Xin's opposition, it may not be easy for him to send troops. The pursuit of this matter is a matter that cannot be delayed. Yuan Shao does not have so much time to convince Han Xin at this time.
Therefore, in fact, only Yuan Shao's family sent troops in the end. Yuan Chonghuan led his signature force of eight thousand Guan Ning cavalry to attack.
Among the northern princes, Yuan Chonghuan's Guan Ning cavalry and Li Chengliang's 3,000 Liaodong elite cavalry, which he spent heavily on purchasing Liaodong war horses, are both quite famous elite troops in the north.
After that, Yuan Shao asked all the alliance's powerful generals to join the pursuers because of the large number of powerful generals in the Jin army. He also urged several princes to jointly send 15,000 elite cavalry for rear support. This time, the generals could not continue to refuse.
The most dangerous part has already been borne by Yuan Shao. If they refuse again, this alliance may not be able to continue to form.
If only Yuan Shao was allowed to handle it, and no one else intervened, Yuan Shao would definitely fall out with them on the spot.
In this way, eight thousand Guan Ning cavalry, led by Yuan Chonghuan, took the lead in pursuing Li Xiang.
Li Xiang naturally had arrangements on the way, but Yuan Chonghuan was also a well-known general, and the Guan Ning cavalry under his command was an elite cavalry rare in the world.
After all, the high-spirited ambush did not deceive Yuan Chonghuan. If the ambush was discovered, it could no longer be called an ambush. On the contrary, the original ambush would have been self-inflicted.
The high-spirited three thousand soldiers and horses were dispersed by Guan Ning's cavalry who had seen through their ambush. They were beaten and fled in all directions before there was much fighting.
Gao Gao was even more miserable. He was pursued relentlessly by Yuan Jun all the way. If it weren't for a BMW horse, he would have almost lost his life.
Gao Gao was originally a general under Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao treated him very well. However, in the last battle of Hulao Pass, Gao Gao was captured alive by the Jin army.
At the very beginning, Gao Gao insisted on being stubborn and said he would rather die than surrender. After all, his family members were all in Jizhou and in the hands of Yuan Shao. No matter what decision he made, Gao Gao could not make it without hesitation.
scruples.
Moreover, the quality of Jizhou's counselors is quite good. After Gao Gao was captured alive, the protection of Gao Gao's "family members" has been intensified, and even the floating house cannot be used.
Although raising one more person would not cost Li Xiang a few handfuls of rice, Li Xiang was not willing to just raise one person. It would be a pity if such a strong general could not be utilized.
Therefore, Li Xiang ordered his people to add a little "seasoning" to the expensive rice and throw in a few women. Once or twice, there would be no problem, but if there are more opportunities, there will always be people who get shot.
Opportunistic.
As a result, Gao Gao had left a legacy on the Jin Army side. After the child was born, Gao Gao naturally became concerned here, and Li Xiang naturally found a breakthrough.
Of course, a large part of the reason for the success of this matter is that Gao Gao does not want to die. Although he is not afraid of death, he has no ability, but he has not yet done anything in his career or achieved fame. Now he,
Not willing to die yet.
Otherwise, Li Xiang would not have the opportunity to add some "condiments" to Gao Gao's meals again and again. If Gao Gao's attitude was really so firm, he would have already ended it on his own.
Even if Li Xiang sends people to guard him strictly, he can't stop a person who wants to die.
From then on, Gao Gao, who had been captured for a long time, successfully became a fierce general in the Jin army.
