Thirty thousand?

Zhang He's troops were not many.

Because although the Youzhou army was defeated, there are still [-] soldiers available right now.

With [-] against [-], and with the advantages of the city, it is not difficult to block Zhang He's attack.

However, Zhao Yun didn't think so. His first reaction was that the capital of the army could not be defended.

First, although there are a lot of [-] troops, they are all defeated troops and their morale has been lost.

And Zhang Yun had just won a big victory, and the whole army was in full swing.

When one goes down and one goes up, the combat effectiveness of the two sides cannot be compared in the same breath.

Second, the military capital is located in Youzhou, not a border area. Naturally, the city is not tall, and it is a city that is easy to attack and difficult to defend.

The third is food, grass and ordnance.

Because the battle was [-] against [-], Gongsun Fan believed that he was sure of victory, so he took all the food, grass and ordnance in the capital to the camp of Youzhou Army outside Juyang City.

As a result, Gongsun Fan was defeated and the battalion was lost. The food, grass and weapons were all cheaper for Zhang Yun.

In the military capital, there is only a little food left, which is enough for [-] soldiers and horses to use for a day.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Yun surrounded the four gates of the capital, the Youzhou army would be defeated without a fight.

Others may not be able to guess that there is no food in the military capital, but Zhao Yun believes that Zhang Xi definitely has the ability.

Zhao Yun's mind was relatively calm, he thought for a while, and immediately ordered the entire army to withdraw from the military capital and return to Ji County.

At the same time, Zhao Yun wrote down the situation of the Battle of Juyang City in detail, and sent a flying horse to report it to Gongsun Zan.

Zhao Yun's decision was undoubtedly correct.

Further southeast of the military capital is Changping County.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhao Yun continued to retreat south after replenishing the army rations in Changping.

If it weren't for the fact that the military capital was too close to Changping City, and Changping City was too far away from Ji County, Zhao Yun would have wanted to move all the people in Changping City to Ji County to give Zhang Yun a clear and solid wall.

As soon as Zhao Yun left Changping City, Zhang Yun's army took the capital.

"Hahaha..." Han Meng was overjoyed, "General, it seems that Gongsun Fan must have been scared by us, and he ran away without fighting."

Zhang Yun shook his head slightly: "The Youzhou army has just been defeated, morale is low, and this city is not conducive to holding on. Gongsun Fan retreats to defend, which is the best policy."

"Oh, by the way, General Han, you said that Gongsun Fan took a shot at you?"

Han Meng nodded and said, "That's right, that shot hit Gongsun Fan's lower abdomen."

"If it weren't for his personal guards attacking me desperately, forcing me to return my gun to defend, I'm afraid that one shot would have pierced him."

Zhang He frowned, and muttered to himself: "How can you survive with such a serious injury and run all the way?"

At this moment, a cavalryman flew over and said, "General Qi, the last general has already found out. Gongsun Fan died not long after he fled to the capital of the army."

Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he immediately burst into laughter: "Gongsun Fan is dead, and Gongsun Zan's death is not far away."

Han Meng was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "What does the general mean by that?"

Zhang He smiled slightly and said, "First Gongsun Yue, then Gongsun Fan, and Gongsun Zan's two younger brothers died successively."

"With Gongsun Zan's temper, how could he not raise troops to take revenge?"

"Furthermore, even if Gongsun Zan is persuaded by the civil servants under his command, how can he ignore the risk of Ji County being besieged?"

"So, Gongsun Zan will definitely return to save Ji County with heavy troops."

"In this way, Gongsun Zan's military strength on the Jizhou battlefield will be dwarfed by comparison, and the Lord's chance to counterattack will come."

"One more thing, the death of Gongsun Fan this time may have nothing to do with Zhao Yun, but would Gongsun Zan think so?"

"Gongsun Zan's generals, only Zhao Yun can be feared by me, and the rest are not in my eyes, Zhang Xi."

"Even if Gongsun Zan personally led the troops back to rescue Ji County, I, Zhang He, would be sure to defeat him."

Han Meng was overjoyed and said: "If the general can really make such extraordinary achievements again, then the number one general under the lord's command must be the general."

No. [-] general?
Hearing Han Meng's words, Zhang Yun couldn't help turning his eyes to the direction of Chang'an, thinking to himself, the general under the command of the lord is too far away from Wei Gong Hua Ziyi.

With such military exploits, I can be the number one general under the command of the lord, but if I am under the command of Duke Wei, where can I rank?
It is said that Xu Huang, Gan Ning, Huang Zhong, Yan Xing, Tai Shici, Wei Yan and others under Wei Gong's command are all excellent generals with both civil and military skills.

If I have a chance in the future, I will meet them for a while and compete with each other.

Zhang Yun regained his composure, and ordered: "Decree, leave a thousand troops in the military capital, and post a notice to the people to maintain order. The rest of the troops will follow me to Changping."

"Here." Han Meng responded, and arranged according to Zhang He's instructions.

The military capital is not far from Changping City, and Zhang He's army arrived in less than an hour.

After occupying Changping City, Zhang He did not continue to go south to Jixian County, but sent a large number of scouts to inquire about the situation around Jixian County, and sent some secret agents to enter Jixian County to inquire about the situation.

But it was said that the messenger sent by Zhao Yun traveled starry night and delivered the letter to Gongsun Zan in the fastest time.

Gongsun Zan thought it was news of the great victory in Juyang City, so he took the letter with a smile.

The messenger also realized that Gongsun Zan had misunderstood, and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, our army was defeated in Juyang City. Three...Three generals were killed."

"What?" Gongsun Zan was about to open the letter, the smile on his face froze immediately, and then disappeared safely.

Gongsun Zan jumped up all of a sudden, and quickly opened the letter. The contents were exactly as the messenger said.

The rest of the civil and military personnel in the big tent were also stunned.

Gongsun Fan and Zhao Yun led an army of [-], and they also suffered such a defeat?

The point is that Gongsun Fan was killed in battle, which is no small matter.

First Gongsun Yue, then Gongsun Fan, I am afraid the lord will be very angry.

After reading the letter, Gongsun Zan's anger suddenly rose.

"Wipe..." After a few strokes, Gongsun Zan tore the letter into pieces, threw it on the ground, and shouted angrily, "Zhao Yun really deserves to die, he deserves death."

Gongsun Zan stared at the messenger again, and asked in a deep voice, "You came here to report, have you informed others about this?"

The messenger immediately shook his head: "How dare the last general leak such important military information without telling anyone."

"That's good." Gongsun Zan breathed a sigh of relief, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and then he pulled out the long sword from his waist and stabbed it into the messenger's chest.

The messenger was unprepared and was stabbed right away.

Shocked, the messenger raised his head and looked at Gongsun Zan: "My lord...why...why did you...kill...the last general?"

Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "In order not to let others know about it."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Zan drew back his long sword and kicked the messenger's corpse to the ground.
