Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Things on the battlefield are unpredictable, whether it is siege, or heart attack, or field battle, all must be decided on the fly.

If you ask the lord for instructions on everything, it may be that the situation on the battlefield has changed after you have asked for instructions, and the strategies you asked for instructions can no longer be used.

Gongsun Fan sent a quick horse to inform Gongsun Zan of the matter, and the latter made a decision, and then let the quick horse reply. It would take at least three days to go back and forth.

That's all, because the two sides have not yet started a war, and after Gongsun Zan's reply arrives, it will not be too late for Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun to march again.

However, Zhao Yun's worry was that Gongsun Zan might not agree to this strategy because the loss would be too great.

"Okay then." Zhao Yun sighed slightly and nodded, "If the three generals think this plan is feasible, please report it to the lord immediately, and ask the lord to make a decision."

In fact, Zhao Yun also understood Gongsun Fan's difficulties.

Although Gongsun Zan valued the members of the Gongsun family very much, he was even more defensive.

In particular, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan did such a thing to buy people's hearts without telling him in advance, which would definitely arouse Gongsun Zan's suspicion.

"Of course." Gongsun Fan nodded, "I'll just write a letter and send it to elder brother."

Three days later, Gongsun Zan's letter arrived.

Sure enough, as Zhao Yun expected, Gongsun Zan did not agree to the proposal.

Moreover, Gongsun Zan still scolded Gongsun Fan in the letter, if he couldn't fight this battle, he would replace someone else as the general.

In addition, Gongsun Zan warned Zhao Yun that if he tried this bad plan to hurt himself again, he would send Zhao Yun back to the prison again.

When Gongsun Fan saw it, he couldn't laugh or cry, and sighed slightly: "I mentioned in the letter that this is your clever plan. I think it is feasible, and I will guarantee it with all my strength."

"Who would have thought that my elder brother didn't agree, but had another opinion on you. It's my fault."

Zhao Yun also smiled wryly, he could only be speechless for a while towards Gongsun Zan, a suspicious but lacking judgmental master.

But he is different from Xun Yu and Guo Jia.

Both Xun Yu and Guo Jia defected to Yuan Shao first, stayed in Yuan Shao's tent for a period of time, and found that Yuan Shao was not someone who could achieve great things, so they defected to Cao Cao instead.

And Zhao Yun also saw that Gongsun Zan was not the one to achieve great things, and the real master was Hua Yu.

However, Zhao Yun really couldn't make up his mind, so he abandoned Gongsun Zan and voted for Hua Yu.

Even though he was suspected by Gongsun Zan and thrown into prison, Zhao Yun never thought about betraying his master.

It's just that, in Zhao Yun's heart, he became more and more disappointed with Gongsun Zan.

Zhao Yun sighed slightly: "Three generals, since my lord does not agree with this strategy, we can only wait for the military supplies and supplies to be in place, then go to the military capital and compete with Zhang Yun and others."

Gongsun Fan nodded: "Zilong, maybe you don't know something."

"Before you mentioned that the policies of other counties in Youzhou should be the same as those of Shanggu County. My eldest brother disagreed."

"It's just that there was a fire in the rear, and my elder brother was worried that it would affect the morale and morale of our army, so he reluctantly agreed."

"Now, we are once again provoking big brother's endurance, and naturally we have committed a crime of plucking a tiger's whiskers."

"Hey, I'm also to blame for this matter. In fact, I expected that the possibility of elder brother agreeing is extremely small, but I was thinking of luck."

"Zilong, don't mention this matter again. As long as we can put down the chaos in Shanggu County, big brother will definitely use you in the future."

"Well, what the three generals said is true." Zhao Yun nodded and stopped mentioning the matter.

Early the next morning, Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun set off with [-] soldiers and horses to the military capital.

Zhang He has also made sufficient preparations.

First, internally.

Because the policies of other counties in Youzhou were the same as those of Shanggu County, Zhang Yun lost his advantage.

Therefore, after discussing with Han Meng, Zhang He and Han Meng lowered the policy further, which is more beneficial to the people's livelihood and economy of Shanggu County.

In fact, Zhang He and Han Meng discussed it, rather than Zhang He's proposal, and Han Meng had no objection.

After a series of performances by Zhang He, Han Meng admired Zhang He very much, and naturally he would not have any objection to Zhang He's proposal.

As a result, the people of Shanggu County were naturally extremely happy, and almost no one had the intention of opposing Zhang He.

The second, of course, is the aspect of armaments.

Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun led the army to attack, Zhang Yun naturally led the army to resist.

Regarding the situation of the generals in the Youzhou Army, Yuan Shao must have already obtained the information through his meticulous work.

Zhang Xi knew that Gongsun Fan was of average talent, and his martial arts and strategy were average, so he was not difficult to deal with.

And what about Zhao Yun?

In the battle of Jieqiao, Zhao Yun and Wen Chou fought dozens of rounds regardless of the outcome, and became famous in one fell swoop.

Zhang He also prided himself on his bravery, but he had never fought Wen Chou before, so he was not sure whether he could beat Wen Chou, and he was not sure whether he could beat Zhao Yun.

Zhang He's strategic preparations are based on defense, supplemented by offense.

Gongsun Fan used the military capital as his base, so Zhang Xi naturally needed to guard Juyang City and Juyong City.

Originally, Zhang He and Han Meng, one guarding Juyang and the other guarding Juyong, were the most suitable.

But considering that Shanggu County is surrounded by Dai County, Zhuo County, Guangyang County and Yuyang County on three sides.

Zhang He guarded Juyang and could block the incoming soldiers from Yuyang County, Guangyang County and Zhuo County.

But Dai Commandery is to the west of Shanggu Commandery, if there is a sneak attack by the army, Zhang He and Han Meng will be caught in the unfavorable situation of being pinched back and forth.

Therefore, leaving Han Meng to guard Pan County to the west of Zhuolu County can stop the soldiers of Dai County.

In addition, the north of Shanggu County is the grassland, which is also the only way for Zhang He and Han Meng to escape if they are defeated.

Therefore, as long as Juyang and Panxian can defend at the same time, Zhang He and Han Meng can get away and go north at any time.

Zhang He sent people to spread the news in Juyong, saying that Gongsun Zan ordered that because Shanggu County betrayed him, once the city was broken, all the city would be massacred without leaving any dogs or chickens behind.

However, Zhang Yun's army is not strong enough to defend Juyong and Juyang at the same time, and it will only be unable to defend both cities.

Therefore, Zhang Yun had no choice but to abandon Juyong City, defend Juyang City with all his strength, and fight to the death with the Youzhou Army.

Once Zhang Xi wins this battle, he will be able to take Guangyang and Yuyang counties lightly, and the situation in Youzhou will change completely, and the lives of the people in Shanggu County will naturally get better and better.

In ancient times, there was no network and communication was extremely underdeveloped, so what was communicated was naturally what was communicated.

When Zhang He sent people to spread the news like this, the people in Juyong City were naturally in chaos.

Slaughter the city, just like Cao Cao slaughtered the city in Xuzhou back then, no chicken or dog was left behind.

Therefore, the result was similar to what Zhang Yun had expected. How could the people of Juyong City dare to stay in Juyong City without a single defender? They immediately moved to Juyang City with their families.

In order to speed up the migration, Zhang Yun sent a lot of ox carts and horse carts to help the people move.

So, when Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun led the army to the military capital, Juyong City had become an empty city.
