We have to find a way to lure the Jingzhou army to take the initiative to attack.

Gao Shun rubbed his forehead and thought again.

"General, something is wrong!"

At this time, a general broke into the room in a hurry outside. He was Pan Feng, the captain of Xiaoqi School, with a big body and a thick waist.

Gao Shun gave Pan Feng a reproachful look, and the latter immediately realized that his behavior was too reckless, so he withdrew from the tent and shouted outside: "General, Pan Feng, the last general, I have something to see!"

Gao Shun said "Come in", and Pan Feng walked in properly.

"General, I just received the battle report. General Zhang Liao was ambushed by Zhang Xiu in the south of Kunyang, causing heavy casualties. After the defeat of Kunyang, he led the remaining troops and retreated in the direction of Mausoleum." Pan Feng's expression was particularly dignified. Report up.

what!

Hearing this news, Gao Shun's eyes narrowed, and his heart sank.

There is no doubt about Zhang Liao's ability to command troops. He was born as a general, and he has been familiar with military books and strategy since he was a child.

However, Zhang Liao actually lost, and the defeat was so fast that it was too late to react.

This result was beyond everyone's expectations, including Gao Shun.

Among the many princes who crusaded against Lv Bu, Zhang Xiu had the fewest soldiers and horses, only 3, which was not at the same level as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, who had 20 to [-] soldiers and horses.

But it was such an obscure guy hiding in Nanyang who actually defeated Zhang Liao!

Gao Shun frowned. According to the intelligence of the secret agents of the School Affairs Office, after Dong Zhuo's death, Zhang Ji led troops into Jingzhou, fought with Liu Biao, and died.Zhang Ji had no children, so his nephew Zhang Xiu inherited Zhang Ji's army and became the new ruler.Later, Liu Biao sent people to lure him, and after the negotiation was successful, he borrowed Nanyang to live in Zhangxiu, and at the same time used Zhangxiu to defend against foreign enemies in the north of Jingzhou.

But regarding Zhang Xiu's information, apart from his bravery, the School Affairs Office did not give any other valid information.

If he charged bravely, he would definitely not beat Zhang Liao into such a broken state.

"Where is the person who came to deliver the news?"

Gao Shun came back from his thoughts and asked Pan Feng.

"It's just outside the tent."

"Call him in, I have something to ask him."

Pan Feng nodded and shouted "Come in" with a louder voice, and a haggard soldier walked in from outside the tent. His body was covered in dust and dirt, and he was dusty, obviously tired after many days of traveling.

"The villain pays homage to General Gao." Although exhausted physically and mentally, the soldiers still did not forget to salute with fists.

Gao Shun asked him to sit down and talk, and then asked: "Tell me everything you know about the encounter."

The soldier said 'yes', recalling the ambush a few days ago.

At that time, Zhang Liao first received a letter from Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, saying that he had captured Wancheng, the base camp behind Zhang Xiu, and asked Zhang Liao to delay Zhang Xiu for a few days. Zhang Xiu's power was destroyed.

Later, Zhang Xiu seemed to have heard the news, and quickly led his army back.After Zhang Liao thought about it, he divided up some soldiers and horses to garrison Kunyang, just in case, but in the end he fell into Zhang Xiujun's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, not to mention losing Kunyang, and was even led into a dead valley by Zhang Xiu.

During the fierce struggle, Zhang Liao was shot in the chest by the loss, and then he was picked up by the spear in Zhang Xiu's hand and injured his right shoulder. If his soldiers hadn't fought to the death, they might have all died in the valley.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

After listening to the memories of the soldiers with lingering fears, Gao Shun lowered his eyes and his face was full of dignity.

He thought about it carefully, the key to Zhang Liao's plan this time was Zhang Lu's letter, if he didn't have full confidence, Zhang Liao would definitely not lead his army to advance rashly, so it can be inferred that Zhang Lu's letter must be true.

But in the end, he was ambushed by Zhang Xiu. If it didn't go as expected, Zhang Lu might have already lost.

Moreover, it is very likely that he will become a prisoner of Zhang Xiu!

If this is the case, then Zhang Xiu's vision and vision are too long-term, and he can predict the enemy first.

Either he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger all the time, and he is holding back; or he has a resourceful person under him who is advising him, and has escaped the spying of the school affairs office, and has been kept in the dark.

Unexpectedly, the small power that was the least optimistic in the past has now become the most troublesome existence.

Gao Shun wanted to meet Zhang Xiu for a while, but right now he was confronting the Jingzhou army and couldn't get away for the time being.He waved his hand and told the soldiers who came to report the news to go down to rest first, and then he told the soldiers to call Fang Yue.

After a while, Fang Yue, who was wearing silver armor, strode into the tent, facing Gao Shun, cupping his hands and cupping his hands respectfully: "Fang Yue, the last general, pay my respects to the general."

Unknowingly, this Hanoi hero who once boasted of being invincible in the world is now in his thirties, with a short beard on his chin, and the air of a mature man in every gesture.

Gao Shun told Fang Yue in a normal tone that Zhang Liao had lost.

"what!"

Hearing this, Fang Yue was extremely surprised.In his opinion, Zhang Liao can be regarded as the best under the lord's command, whether in martial arts or military strategy, and even Fang Yue is often ashamed of himself.

It has only been a long time since the war started, and Zhang Liao is actually defeated.

What kind of monster did he encounter?

For a moment, Fang Yue was a little confused.

"Kunyang is lost, and Wenyuan is defeated. Zhang Xiu will definitely lead his army all the way to the north and attack Xiling. If Zhang Xiu is allowed to break through Xiling, then Yanzhou will open his clothes to him."

As Gao Shun said to himself, his eyes moved on the map to carry out strategic deduction: "Although the lord has not confronted Liu Bian yet, there are many strongholds and fortresses on the frontal battlefield, and a large number of troops are required to be stationed and deployed. It is also difficult to send reinforcements to Wenyuan in a short period of time."

After all, no one thought that Zhang Liao would be the first breakthrough point for defeat.

"What is the general going to do?"

Fang Yue asked, since Gao Shun called him alone and talked about military affairs with him, there must be a mission.

"The general intends to give you [-] troops to capture the Xinji in the southeast of the Mausoleum and strengthen the defense. The only requirement is to capture the Xinji before Zhang Xiu arrives. You... can you finish it?"

Gao Shun paused, and looked at Fang Yue solemnly.

Xinji was originally a neutral force, and the two would not help each other, but now that Zhang Liao was defeated, there was no guarantee that he would favor the enemy.

And if Zhang Xiu wants to attack Xiling, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely seize Xinji first.In this way, not only can the mausoleum be viewed as a tiger, but it can also copy Gao Shun's rear and form a front and back attack with the Jingzhou army, blocking Gao Shun in the middle and cutting off his food supplies.

Therefore, whether it is to defend Zhang Liao's mausoleum, or to ensure the stability of the supply behind Gao Shun's army, Xinji must be taken!

Fang Yue knew very well that this matter had a lot to do with it, and at the same time was moved by Gao Shun's trust in him, so he clasped his fists and said in a low voice, "The last general takes orders!"

Later, under Gao Shun's instruction and explanation, Fang Yue took the order and left.

Not long after Fang Yue left the tent, another general in the army broke into the tent with a grunt, and questioned Gao Shun with a very dissatisfied expression: "General Gao, I heard that Zhang Wenyuan was defeated, and you sent Fang Yue to attack the new army. draw?"
