Guan Jing returned to the iron gate again. After asking someone to report, Guan Jing waited at the door. Looking at the dark iron gate, Guan Jing felt that his head was as big as an ox and his heart was even more depressed because life was too difficult.
His lord is not easy to persuade.
Lu Xuan was even more difficult to deal with.
Caught in the middle, it's really difficult at both ends.
Guan Jing waited for a long time, but no one came. He was anxious. If Lu Xuan got angry and left, Gongsun Zan's only chance would be gone.
No matter what, Lu Xuan must be stabilized.
Suddenly, Guan Jing's ears twitched and he heard the noise on the tower. He looked up and saw the hanging basket lowered, and felt relieved. At this moment, he looked at the unsightly hanging basket and felt a little more pleased with it. He quickly climbed in and rode the hanging basket in.
city.
Guan Jing trotted all the way to the hall, saw Gongsun Zan who was drinking, and saluted: "My lord."
Gongsun Zan hummed, with a faint smile on his face, and asked, "Is Lu Xuan gone?"
"No!"
Guan Jing shook his head and answered.
Gongsun Zan's expression froze in an instant. He looked at Guan Jing with some disbelief and asked: "What's going on? Why hasn't Lu Xuan left yet? Is he finished? Doesn't he know that I helped him this time?"
him?"
Guan Jing sighed and said: "My lord, although you are the one who sent troops to help Lu Xuan, our actions are also to block Yuan Shao. I heard that Yuan Shao was gathering troops in Yecheng and was preparing to send troops north to attack Youzhou. This time,
Yuan Shao must destroy us."
The overwhelming anger rising in Gongsun Zan's heart seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water in his pocket when he heard Guan Jing's words.
Thinking of Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan's eyes showed a hint of horror.
In the battle between him and Yuan Shao, he had the absolute upper hand at the beginning. Baima Yicong beat Yuan Shao to the point where he was unable to fight back. In order to ease the relationship, Yuan Shao even made his cousin Gongsun Fan serve as the governor of Bohai.
However, the Battle of Jieqiao became Gongsun Zan's nightmare.
Gongsun Zan had 30,000 elite infantry and 10,000 elite cavalry, and a total of 40,000 troops participated in the battle. At that time, Gongsun Zan's formation was with 30,000 infantry in the center, 5,000 cavalry on each wing, and among the 5,000 cavalry on each wing, there were 1,500 cavalry on each side.
White horse Yi Cong.
The lineup can be described as extremely luxurious.
At that time, Yuan Shao had gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but these soldiers and horses had not experienced enough war baptism. Yan Liang and Wen Chou had not yet emerged, and the strongest general was Qu Yi.
Qu Yi is a warrior from Xiliang. He has lived in Xiliang all year round. He is proficient in cavalry tactics and has 800 elite soldiers under his command. He is an elite soldier in hundreds of battles.
The one Yuan Shao can rely on is Qu Yi.
The lineup arranged by Yuan Shao was such that 800 elite soldiers led by Qu Yi would rush forward at the front, and Yuan Shao's army would be at the rear.
At that time, Gongsun Zan made the biggest mistake in his life. Facing eight hundred elites like Qu Yi, he should use infantry to consume Qu Yi's elites. After the first wave of explosive power of Qu Yi's elite troops was consumed, he would then use cavalry to attack from both wings.
, tearing apart Yuan Shao's defense.
In fact, this is the most normal cavalry tactics.
On the battlefield, the enemy's strength has been exhausted to a certain extent. When the situation is deadlocked, the cavalry is sent to rush forward quickly, destroy the enemy's defense line in one go, and completely begin to cover up the enemy.
However, Gongsun Zan underestimated the enemy and sent out the White Horse Yi Cong in the first wave, which was shot at indiscriminately by Qu Yi's hidden powerful crossbows. Under the crossbow fire, the White Horse Yi Cong and the cavalry lost thousands of cavalry in the first wave, and the offensive was in chaos.
The offensive of the charge.
Immediately afterwards, Qu Yi led 800 men to charge forward. Jizhou Mu Yangang, the former army commander who killed Gongsun Zan in front of the formation, caused further turmoil in Gongsun Zan's army.
During the battle at the Boundary Bridge, Gongsun Zan's energy and spirit collapsed.
Although Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao were behind, they still fought many times, but they were constantly defeated, and Gongsun Zan was completely afraid.
When Gongsun Zan thought of Yuan Shao and the scene of Bai Ma Yicong's defeat, he shuddered and instantly lost the confidence to break up with Lu Xuan, because he was really afraid of Yuan Shao and needed Lu Xuan.
Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing and asked: "Guan Jing, why don't Lu Xuan want to leave?"
Guan Jing replied: "Lu Xuan said that your arrangement humiliated him and that he needs to be given another thousand fine cavalry, that is, four thousand cavalry, so that he can forget the past and continue to fulfill his promise."
Gongsun Zan's face turned red instantly.
He stretched out his big chubby hand and overturned the wine bottle and wine bottle on the desk, then slapped his hand on the desk and said through gritted teeth: "Lu Xuan bullies people too much, it's hateful, it's so hateful."
He stood up, held the big sword in his hand, drew it out of its sheath with a clang, walked back and forth, and said angrily: "Lu Xuan really thinks that I dare not kill people? I will mobilize the troops and kill him directly."
Guan Jing said: "My lord, think about Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is already preparing for war and is about to attack."
Gongsun Zan turned to look at Guan Jing, filled with murderous intent, gritted his teeth and said: "Guan Jing, are you eager to fall into Lu Xuan's arms immediately?"
Guan Jing raised his head and said loudly: "Bizhi is loyal to the lord, and heaven and earth can tell. If the lord doesn't believe it, kill him first. Everything he did is for the lord. Can anger defeat Yuan Shao and make you
Stabilize the situation?"
Gongsun Zan licked his lips, his mouth was dry.
He even felt slightly dizzy before his eyes. When he saw the desk in front of him, it looked like Lu Xuan, so he slashed it with his sword.
Duh!
The sword fell and struck on the desk.
Unfortunately, the blade of the sword was stuck, and Gongsun Zan could not pull it out even with all his strength. He snorted and kicked his foot on the desk. The moment his foot hit it, it was so painful that he jerked back, and the desk
Still unmoved.
Gongsun Zan was extremely angry.
Finally, he sat down again.
Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing and said, "Guan Jing, what do you think we should do?"
Guan Jing said: "If the lord intends to cheer up and continue fighting with Yuan Shao alone, he will follow him to the death. In addition, let's ignore Lu Xuan and let him leave. If the lord does not have the spirit and fighting spirit to fight against Yuan Shao, the only option left is to join forces with Lu Xuan."
.”
Gongsun Zan shook his head and said helplessly: "Yuan Shao has achieved great success and has strong troops and horses. With us, how can we be his opponent? Yuan Shao's achievements are like ghosts and gods, and they are so evil that we cannot deal with them."
He looked at Guan Jing and sighed again: "Go ahead and send a thousand cavalry to Lu Xuan. Tell Lu Xuan that you hope he will keep his promise."
"Here!"
Guan Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
At any rate, Gongsun Zan agreed.
Guan Jing thought for a while and continued: "Bizhi thinks that the lord should hold a banquet to bring Lu Xuan away from the dust and bring him closer to Lu Xuan. What's more, I heard that Lu Xuan is very lustful. As long as he gives him a woman, it's totally fine.
It can be won over."
"fart!"
Gongsun Zan cursed loudly.
He stared at Guan Jing and said: "I gave four thousand war horses and I have already lost my face. Now, you ask me to hold a banquet and give women to Lu Xuan. Don't even think about it. I, Gongsun Zan,
Isn’t it shameless?”
Guan Jing knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he sighed and said, "I'll just go and make arrangements for my humble position."
"go quickly."
Gongsun Zan ordered: "Don't come, I don't want to hear news about Lu Xuan."
Guan Jing bowed and saluted, then turned and left the city to go to the military camp, where he once again sent Lu Xuan's horses to him.
