Four hundred and thirtieth eight chapters Xian Yang angered
"Two words are useless, but five words can destroy the power of writing." [Ancient]
"My subordinates and I have our former alliance and old leaders, and we have pledged to fight against the rebellion... Isn't this my pure passion to prove evil?... How can I, alone, guard a small area of men, protect the territory of the army, and be willing to gain notoriety with speed?
Decay, death will make virtue last forever? It is not a good strategy to strengthen the strength..."
On top of the high-rise building in Yijing, Guan Jingzheng was reading aloud the document sent by Yuan Shao to persuade him to surrender. The content pointed out mercilessly that Gongsun Zan had reached this point only because he was militaristic and did not cultivate virtue.
He brought the blame on himself, did not know what was good, and insisted on becoming an enemy of Yuan Shao. Now that the two sides have been fighting hard for many years, and the soldiers and people are exhausted, Yuan Shaonian, considering that Gongsun Zan is worthy of his bravery, specifically pardons him and is willing to reestablish good relations with Gongsun Zan, as long as Gongsun Zan is willing to obey orders.
, all past grudges will be wiped out.
Every line in this letter of persuasion to surrender reveals Yuan Shao's unique arrogance and arrogance. It eloquently lists all the evil deeds Gongsun Zan has done, without the slightest sweetness of being appointed an official or making a wish. Rather than being a persuasion to surrender, it is better to say that it was sent specially.
Showing off and provoking are the humiliation of the winner to the loser.
Gongsun Zan's face turned red after listening to Guan Jing's words for half the time. He slapped the shore hard with his big hand. He quickly stood up and walked to Guan Jing. He snatched the document from Guan Jing's hand and threw it to the ground angrily.
He shouted: "You are talking nonsense, what else are you saying!"
Guan Jing looked at Gongsun Zan with blood-red eyes, like an old lion that had been violated. The power that used to look down on Hebei returned to this man, making people want to bow down and worship him. Guan Jing did just that, he handed over his hand.
After bowing, he said calmly: "Since the prince is aware of the absurdity, is there any way to counter it?"
Gongsun Zan took a few deep breaths. His figure, which was originally obscured by the loose dark clothes, suddenly seemed to be filled with wind from his sleeves. His chest swelled up, and the sleepy lion regained its strength under the stimulation of the enemy.
High morale.
He said decisively: "Yuan Shaoyong has insulted me. How can this matter be stopped? From today on, the entire army will increase its military equipment and strictly guard it. I will ride out suddenly and rely on the west mountain to cut off Yuan Shao's retreat!"
When Guan Jing heard that Gongsun Zan had cheered up a little, he was overjoyed at first, but later he quickly advised: "The morale of the three armies is low now. The reason why we can still stay together is just because we care about the young and old, and rely on the power of the general." Yi
The capital is strong, and it only takes a long time for Yuan Shao to retreat. If he abandons it, there will be no important generals in Yijing, so it is difficult to guarantee that nothing will happen."
This statement points out Gongsun Zan's long-standing weakness, which is that for a long time, Gongsun Zan and his men have seemed invincible, but in fact they all depend on Gongsun Zan's personal bravery. Apart from him, there is no other general who can take charge alone. At this moment, the situation is
In a critical situation, Gongsun Zan left on his own, and no one was guarding the rear. No one knew what would happen. After all, how the outer camps of Yijing were lost is still vivid in our minds.
After Gongsun Zan thought about it carefully, he had no choice but to recognize the reality and accepted Guan Jing's opinion. But he still understood the principle that a lonely city cannot be defended, and he also understood the current situation best. Gongsun Zan already had an idea in his mind, but he
I always want to avoid it, and now is no exception.
After thinking about it, Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing again, his eyes seemed to have sufficient confidence and confidence, as if to embolden himself, and to boost morale: "You are right, Yi Jing is as strong as a rock, and the government is as strong as a rock.
The treasury is abundant and I can rely on the best soldiers. Looking around the world, there is no one who can stand under my city and attack it. What can Yuan Benzhu do to me?"
Guan Jing was deeply touched. As long as the generals cheered up and had strong soldiers, so what if Yuan Shao had 100,000 soldiers?
Gongsun Fan was also overjoyed. This was the person he would follow throughout his life without regrets. This was Gongsun Zan of Liaoxi!
At the south gate of Yijing, Zhang Hezheng and his subordinates were waiting in full formation. Some of them were holding crossbows, some were holding swords and shields, and some were carrying spears and halberds. They were all hiding behind Juma and other camps with their backs hunched.
The large banner behind him rustled in the cold wind, and for a while the three armies were silent and silent.
Captain Zhang Nan seemed puzzled when he saw this formation that looked like a formidable enemy. He turned around and asked, "My lord just asked Chen Jun to persuade him to surrender today. Given the current situation, if Gongsun Zan has even the slightest understanding, he should restrain his hands."
Even if Gongsun Zan refuses to surrender, how can he dare to come out when our army is heavily encircled? General Zhonglang is too cautious."
"Chen Lin's articles are like knives scraping bones, very sharp. Ming Gong has no real intention to persuade surrender, so with Chen Lin's talent, how can he write any harmonious words?" Zhang He is a Confucian scholar. In the past, he was constrained by his meager family wealth.
He didn't have any classics other than family heirlooms, and he went crazy after becoming famous. Chen Lin's literary talent was first-class, and Zhang He had read it many times, so he naturally understood his sharp writing style: "Gongsun Zan has an irritable temperament. How can he give up so easily after being humiliated like this?"
?Since Ming Gong asked me to guard the front army, I must have expected it."
Zhang Nan opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Zhang He in admiration. He was speechless for a long time. He was originally a subordinate of Yuan Shao and had some physical strength. With Yuan Shao's favor, he walked step by step to the school captain's house.
Position. This time Yuan Shao sent him to Zhang He's command. He was explicitly and implicitly told to learn more about how Zhang He used troops. When he learned how to use troops, he could lead the army alone, either directly under Yuan Shao, or assigned to him.
Then Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and other young masters' subordinates.
Before arriving, Zhang Nan saw that Zhang He's troops and formations were all in good order, and he thought that there was nothing to learn from them. However, Zhang He's words this time left him speechless.
"You still have a lot to learn about the art of war. But it doesn't matter. If you don't understand anything, just tell me. I can teach you everything I know." Zhang He sincerely reached out and patted Zhang Nan on the shoulder, although the two of them were only a few years apart.
Years old, but it really sounds like an elder talking to a younger person.
Zhang Nan saw that his expression did not seem to be hypocritical, and he was moved in his heart. He was about to say something when he suddenly heard the sound of drums and horns coming from Yijing. He looked back and saw that the gate of Yijing was wide open, and about two to three thousand cavalry came from the city.
It surged out, whistling like a fierce cold wind, and headed straight for the camp!
"What am I talking about?" Zhang He, who had anticipated the enemy, just smiled proudly, and without waiting for the enemy soldiers to react violently, he calmly shouted: "Line up!"
Immediately, a steady sound of "shout" came from the formation, and the shouts of thousands of people in the formation seemed to come from the same person. They raised their shields uniformly, either facing forward diagonally or facing upwards.
They all work together to protect each other.
Before Zhang Nan could ask why, he saw that Gongsun Zan had led his cavalry to arrive first. They did not rush straight towards Juma, but drew their bows and arrows on their horses. They made a smooth turn and flew past the camp.
Shoot countless arrows.
'call out'
Zhang Nan could feel the powerful arrows hitting the shield at close range and still sending the residual force to his arms. Even though he had some physical strength, his arms could not stop under the impact of countless arrows.
