Gongsun Zan wiped the long sword on the messenger a few times, glanced at the crowd of civil and military personnel, and said calmly: "No one should mention this matter to the outside world, otherwise, this person will be a role model."

"Here, my lord." These civil and military officers hurriedly responded.

Gongsun Zan sat back down again, frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "Send an order, let Zhao Yun come back immediately."

"The death of the third brother is an unforgivable crime for Zhao Yun."

"Although this person is a general in my Youzhou, but his heart is in Chang'an, he can't be used by me sincerely, so he can't stay any longer."

"..." After hearing this, all the civil and military personnel were speechless for a while.

Although they didn't know the content of the letter, nor what the battle of Juyang City was like, they could be sure that the death of Gongsun Fan had something to do with Zhao Yunneng?

The three Gongsun Zan brothers are all self-willed masters. It is estimated that Gongsun Fan did not listen to Zhao Yun's suggestion and rushed to the battle, which led to the defeat.

Guan Jing frowned, and wanted to plead for Zhao Yun, but seeing Gongsun Zan's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping, he didn't dare to say it at this time.

Although Zhao Yun had been in Gongsun Zan's army for two years, he had no friendship with these people present because of his low official position.

The only one, Gongsun Fan, who had a closer friendship with Zhao Yun, was already dead.

After dealing with Zhao Yun's matter, Gongsun Zan's expression still did not ease, and he asked calmly, "Our army was defeated again in the battle of Shanggu County, with 6 troops losing [-] horses."

"Ah..." Everyone was shocked.

They already knew that the battle was defeated just now, but they did not expect that the loss was so severe.

That was 6 horses, two-thirds of which were lost.

According to previous intelligence, Zhang Yun's troops in Juyang City were only [-].

With [-] against [-], everyone believed that the odds of winning this battle were relatively high.

Even if Zhang Yun couldn't hold out, Gongsun Fan would not be defeated, let alone such a big defeat.

Guan Jing couldn't help but asked: "Our army has [-] soldiers and [-] white horse followers, how could there be such a big defeat?"

Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Gongsun Zan said calmly, "Zhang He has a heavy infantry called the Euphorbias, which can restrain the light cavalry."

"In addition, Zhang Xi also trained a black armored cavalry, whose power is not inferior to that of the white horse."

"Zhang Yun first used the euphorbia warriors to severely injure our white horse righteousness, and then chased them down with black armored cavalry. Han Meng even seriously injured the third brother, which led to our army's complete defeat."

Yan Gang asked: "Master, what about Zhao Yun, his martial arts skills are extremely high, how can he not stop Han Meng?"

A strong hatred flashed in Gongsun Zan's eyes: "This is exactly what Zhao Yun hates."

"That Zhang Yun is under Yuan Shao's command. He is a little-known person. How can his martial arts be better than Wen Chou?"

"Zhao Yun said in the letter that when the third brother was seriously injured by Han Meng, he was entangled by Zhang Xi and was unable to separate himself to save others."

"Hmph, how could Zhao Yun be able to draw with Wen Chou, how could he be entangled by Zhang Yun? It is clear that after seeing the third brother in a tight siege, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and dared not go to save others."

"Such a betrayer, how can I let him live in this world?"

The letter had already been torn to pieces by Gongsun Zan, and everyone didn't know the contents of the letter, so they could only listen to Gongsun Zan's one-sided words for the time being.

Gongsun Zan looked around and asked calmly, "After Zhang Yun won the victory, he led an army of [-] troops to the south to take Ji County. Do you have any clever plans to put down the chaos in Youzhou?"

Guan Jing immediately cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Ji County is the root of my lord."

"My lord and the family members of my subordinates are all in Ji County, so there must be no loss, otherwise, not only will there be no fighting spirit, but it will also affect the morale of the three armies."

"I also ask my lord to send a large army to go north to Ji County and defend the city."

"At the same time, since Zhang He led his army south to attack Ji County, Shanggu County must be defenseless."

"My lord, you can order the prefects of Daijun, Zhuojun and Yuyang to send troops from all the counties to attack Shanggu County together."

"In this way, once Shanggu County loses and Zhang Yun loses his roots, a single matter of food and grass is enough to wipe out his entire army."

It has to be said that Guan Jing's thinking is still very clear, and one sentence hits Zhang He's disadvantage of underestimating the enemy and rushing forward.

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan turned his head to look at Gongsun Ji, and asked, "What do Brother Ji think of this plan?"

Gongsun Ji, although his surname is Gongsun, is not of Gongsun Zan's lineage, but just happens to have the same surname.

Gongsun Ji was originally Liu Yu's subordinate, because Gongsun Zan treated him as a brother with the same surname, so he secretly told Gongsun Zan the news that Liu Yu wanted to kill Gongsun Zan.

As a result, Gongsun Zan took the first step, killed Liu Yu, and occupied Youzhou.

Therefore, Gongsun Ji was a traitor to Liu Yu, but to Gongsun Zan he was a great hero.

After Gongsun Zan won Youzhou, he was very kind to Gongsun Ji, and his status among civil servants was second only to Guan Jing.

Gongsun Ji frowned slightly, and said: "Brother, I think that Chief Guan Shi's plan is very appropriate."

"It's just that our army has been defeated one after another, and Zhang He's troops have already reached the city of Ji County."

"The chief general who will lead the army this time must send a general who can conquer and fight well."

Gongsun Zan nodded slightly, and asked, "Who does Brother Ji think is suitable?"

Gongsun Ji pointed at Yan Gang and said, "Brother, General Yan must go to this battle in person."

After Yan Gang heard this, he immediately stood up, cupped his hands and said: "My lord, the last general is willing to go and kill Zhang He, and avenge the second and third generals."

Right now, among Gongsun Zan's generals, Yan Gang is the only one who can be good at fighting.

Gongsun Zan nodded, and was about to speak when Guan Jing spoke again: "My lord, our army is fighting on two fronts, and our strength and provisions are already insufficient."

"I thought that we should stop the offensive going south, guard the city walls carefully, and wait for Youzhou to be pacified before attacking. My lord, please think twice."

After experiencing the incident between Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Zan's arrogant shortcomings seem to have been corrected a lot.

Hearing what Guan Jing said, Gongsun Zan nodded, "Sure."

Guan Jing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, as long as the lord can suspend the battle of Jizhou, our army will be able to wipe out Zhang He's army with all its strength, and there is still room for redemption.

Then, Guan Jing said: "Also, please send a letter to Ju Yi, my lord, to inform you about the matter in Youzhou."

"Ask Ju Yi to help contain Yuan Shao's main force, and help the Lord Ping fix Youzhou before attacking Yuan Shao together."

When mentioning Ju Yi, Gongsun Zan became furious, and said angrily, "That Ju Yi is really hateful. He didn't move because of Zhang Yan in Taihang Mountain."

"Otherwise, Yuan Benchu ​​would have been defeated long ago with two fierce attacks from the north and the south."

"After Yuan Shao is destroyed in the future, I will attack Ju Yi first, and then attack Hua Ziyi."

After Yuan Shao is destroyed in the future?
Guan Jing's face turned dark for a while, he couldn't see that the dispute between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao was exactly Hua Yu's big conspiracy.

Gongsun Zan was like sunset.
