Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 392
Zhang Fei said dissatisfiedly: "Gongsun Zan is just a mere one, why bother to go to such lengths for him? In my opinion, if you know the times and can surrender, you can use them. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, you can simply kill them. There are so many good generals in our army, and none of them will lose. Gongsun Zan, without him is nothing."

Yan Liang and the others also nodded one after another. A guy like Gongsun Zan, who is strong but doesn't know how to praise him, is really annoying, and it would be easier to cut him down.

But Liu He shook his head and said, "Gongsun Zan is not talented enough to fight for the hegemony of the Central Plains, and his martial arts is not enough to compare with you, but he is better than Yuwai. When it comes to leading troops in confrontations, I believe you are better than Gongsun Zan, but when it comes to deterring the Hu people in the northern part of the country , but it must be Gongsun Zan."

Yan Liang clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty thinks too highly of Gongsun Zan. If he is willing to divide me into a part of the army, the general will be able to kill the barbarians to death."

Liu He shook his head and said with a smile: "But who among you can drive the northern part of the Great Wall and go deep into the desert to deter the barbarians?"

The generals immediately frowned, they are naturally not afraid of dealing with the barbarian, but if they want to live in Saibei for a long time, or even drive straight into it, they don't have much confidence in their hearts, everyone is unfamiliar with the land of Mobei.

Today's Mobei Grassland is as unknown to these generals as the sea. Even Tian Yu, a general who suppresses the North, may not be able to go deep into Mobei and make contributions.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu He sighed: "If we talk about running thousands of miles, killing barbarian people, and making them subdue, only Gongsun Zan is the most suitable at present. I want to help Gongsun Zan once again——seal the wolf to live in Xu!"

"Seal the wolf to live in Xu?!"

Guan Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and the expressions of the others were also shocked. At this moment, their hearts were thumping.

Liu Heyan said: "However, the Central Plains has not yet been settled, and we have no spare energy to conquer the Hu people. This time, we must rely on war to support war and rely on ourselves. Except for the first batch of food, grass and weapons, we must be self-sufficient and cannot rely on logistics supplies."

"Using war to support war?" Chen Gong frowned and said: "With such a war method, once you go deep into Mobei, you will be close to death. If you succeed, everything will become famous, and if you lose, you will never return!"

Liu He nodded and said, "Gongsun Zan is familiar with the tactics of the Hu people and the geography of Mobei. He is the only one who can take on this great task!"

Only now did Xun You and the others vaguely understand Liu He's intentions. The Central Plains has not yet been settled, and it is not yet known who will be in charge of the ups and downs.

Xun You stroked his beard and said: "The general is so far-sighted, it's not a bad idea to let Gongsun Zan go this time. If he can be defeated again, even if he stays in the army, he will have no face to face the former princes again. If he is entrusted with this important task , will gladly go.”

Liu He sighed: "I hope that I, Gongsun Zan, can understand my painstaking efforts, and don't let General Baima laugh at future generations, and Baima Yicong will perish."

Zhang Fei said worriedly: "Junhou's plan is good, but Gongsun Zan, who was defeated in the previous battle, knows that he is not my opponent. If he is released, will he escape back to Jinan, or even go away?"

Xun You said with a smile: "Gongsun Zan is proud and cherishes his name. He will not let go of this humiliation. Otherwise, even if he returns to his hometown, he will be laughed at by the villagers. This is Gongsun Zan's biggest taboo. How could he leave without a fight?" ?”

Liu He then ordered the generals to go down to prepare their troops and fight Gongsun Zan tomorrow. The two armies will face each other, and he must be convinced to lose.

In the early morning of the next day, Gongsun Zan sent someone to report that both sides sent out [-] soldiers and horses to form a battle array on the bank of Jishui River.

Liu He discussed with the generals: "Gongsun Zan lacks generals, so he will definitely go to the battle in person. This battle is still aimed at capturing people. If Gongsun Zan can be captured as soon as possible, casualties will be reduced. You must follow my orders and act, and don't love to fight."

The generals took orders. Liu He ordered Zhang Fei to lead the infantry in the center, Xu Huang and Tian Yu to lead the left and right armies, Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the cavalry on the two wings, and Guan Yu to lead an army in the center to be ready to respond at any time. A total of four thousand troops were ordered to prepare troops.

Afterwards, Zhao Yun and Qu Yi were ordered to lead their own troops and horses to wait for orders, and said to Qu Yi, "Gongsun Zan's soldiers are not as good as our elite army. I expect he will use Baima Yicong as the main force, intending to break through the Chinese army and disrupt the formation. General Qu You can lead the Dengjun to confront Baima Yicong, do you dare to fight?"

Qu Yi clasped his fists and said, "Hmph, the white horse? He will definitely come and go!"

"Brilliant!" Liu He laughed, and ordered Qu Yi to lead his troops to hide in Zhang Fei's infantry formation, but when he saw Bai Ma Yicong appearing, he targeted him.

All the generals went to prepare, Zhao Yun hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"

Liu He said with a smile: "Zilong's Feiyun Cavalry is extremely maneuverable, but he doesn't have to fight head-on. It will be useful for you to lead troops to guard the Chinese army with me later."

Everyone went to prepare, the drums in the camp were loud, and Liu He was fully clothed and ready to leave the tent when Xun You suddenly said, "Your Majesty, if Gongsun Zan still refuses to surrender this time, so what?"

Liu He paused. He knew that Xun You's worries were not unreasonable. Gongsun Zan was arrogant and stubborn, and it would be difficult for him to succumb to someone unless he originally approved of him, not to mention that he was the person he hated the most?

After thinking for a while, he turned around and gave Xun You a few whispered instructions, and then left the big tent. Xun You immediately called Cheng Yu, who was dispatching the troops, to discuss preparations together.

At this time, there was already a murderous look outside the camp. Gongsun Zan led the army on the bank of Jishui. 5000 troops formed four square formations.

Liu He knew that these were probably all the elite soldiers that Gongsun Zan could organize. The group of cavalry with white horses and white robes behind him was particularly eye-catching. In recent years of development in Qingzhou, the number of white horse righteous followers has exceeded 300.

Liu He climbed onto the set up point general platform, where he could overlook the entire field and scan the two armies. Gongsun Zan couldn't help frowning when he saw it in the formation. I suffered a great loss.

dong dong dong-

Shocking drums resounded across the shore, and at the same time, horns also sounded. The wind was blowing and the dust was flying. Following Gongsun Zan's sword drawing an order, the two armies began to charge forward.

Among the Chinese army, Zhang Fei led the infantry forward in formation, covering almost half of the battlefield. A large shield about six feet guarded all the soldiers tightly, and the archers were in the formation ready to fight back at any time.

Within a hundred steps of the two armies, the rain of arrows flew into the sky, forming a black sky in the air. The soldiers in the formation only felt their heads go dark, and the arrows flew into the formation like locusts.

Amidst the screams, Zhang Fei had already led the troops to charge into the enemy formation. He swept past with his eight-foot-long snake spear, and saw figures flying and falling in large pieces. Even under the horse, Zhang Fei's bravery was still unstoppable. .

In the blink of an eye, Gongsun Zan's central army was torn open, the formation could not be maintained, and it began to appear scattered, and some soldiers even retreated in fright.

Gongsun Zan saw clearly from his horse, and immediately mobilized the cavalry on the left to dispatch, preparing to break through the infantry's phalanx from the flank.

But how could Liu He let him do what he wanted, and ordered people to raise the banner, and Yan Liang led his troops to catch him, and at the same time Wen Chou also charged from the other side.
