There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

"Black Mountain Army?" Gongsun Zan woke up after hearing the words, and then clapped his hands suddenly: "That's right! How can I forget them!"

He moved too much all of a sudden, touching the wound, grinning in pain.

Liu Bei was silent for a while, and said: "It's just that outside Yijing, Yuan Shao's soldiers are overwhelmed, Yan Rou, Xian Yufu, and King Wuhuan are making trouble in the rear. If you want to break through and join the Black Mountain Army, you must be a man with both wisdom and courage... I think, let Tian Yu or Gongsun Xu go to ask for help."

"No!" Gongsun Zan was clear-headed at this time: "Xu'er has little knowledge and is not mature enough, so he may not be able to persuade Zhang Yan, Tian Yu... Although he is talented, I can't trust him... Xuande, right now I can... The only person you can trust is you."

Liu Bei sighed, and said: "It's just that Yuan's army is powerful. I'm afraid I'll be captured alive before I can break out of the siege. If my death is a minor matter, what should I do if it ruins the major event of uniting Montenegro?"

Gongsun Zan planned for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will hand over all the remaining white horse justices under my command to you to take charge. You, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two brave generals, together with the white horse justices, will not defeat Yuan Jun, but will definitely defeat Yuan Jun." Can break out!"

Liu Bei was startled when he heard this, and said, "Bei took Bai Ma Yi away from the capital, but what about Yi Jing?"

Gongsun Zan shook his head and said, "Baima Yicong is a cavalry soldier. It is useless to defend the city and waste money and food. I dug more than ten heavy trenches near the Yi River in the place where the building was changed. The mound in the trench is five or six feet long. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The defense only needs infantry arrows and crossbows, and we have a stockpile of grain and grain of 300 million hu, so we can stick to it."

Liu Bei pondered for a moment, then said: "If elder brother can trust me, then younger brother will go through this."

After worrying about some trivial matters, Liu Bei immediately bid farewell to Gongsun Zan.

After returning to his residence, Liu Bei immediately sent someone to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

As soon as Guan and Zhang arrived, Liu Bei immediately said: "You two virtuous brothers immediately prepare your troops and prepare to go to the White Horse Camp in the coming day, and bring Baimaiyi with you. In the days to come, we will lead our troops to break through and leave Yicheng."

Guan Yu was surprised when he heard the words: "Brother, why did Gongsun Youzhou make us so eager to lead our troops to break through, but even Baima Yicong was handed over?"

Liu Beichang sighed, and told the two about Gongsun Zan asking him to join the Black Mountain Army.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "Gongsun Youzhou has no one he can trust right now, and elder brother is the only help he has left... I just wonder how confident elder brother is in persuading Zhang Yan?"

Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "Eighty to ninety percent, after all, if Yuan Shao successfully unified Hebei, the good life of Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army will basically be over. The so-called cold lips and teeth, he should be able to understand this truth... The key is to deal with it. After leaving Zhang Yan, where should we go?"

Zhang Fei wondered beside him: "Brother, don't you plan to go back to Yicheng?"

Liu Bei did not speak.

The fall of Yicheng is imminent, even if Zhang Yan sends troops, facing Yuan Shao who is in full swing, there is absolutely no chance of winning.

There is absolutely no need for Liu Bei to die.

However, Liu Bei could take Bai Ma Yicong and run directly instead of going to Zhang Yan, but Liu Bei would not do that.

After all, Gongsun Zan is also his best friend and old friend. Although he has been too reckless in his life and has done many foolish things, for the sake of this friendship, Liu Bei will also fulfill his final responsibilities to him.

Guan Yu somewhat understood Liu Bei's intentions, so he would not be as straightforward as Zhang Fei asked.

He said: "After meeting Zhang Yan, where does brother plan to go?"

Liu Bei sighed, shook his head and said, "Since the fight against Liu Yu, the world is so big, I'm afraid there is no room for me to use my strength."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were indifferent when they heard the words.

Liu Yu's incident had a great impact on Liu Bei.

After a while, Liu Bei said calmly: "Now there is probably only one person in the world who can help me resolve this grievance."

Both Guan and Zhang were taken aback when they heard the words.

When I was young, Fang heard Guan Yu say, "Brother, you mean... the Son of Heaven?"

"good."

"However, Liu Yu's death may have angered the emperor. If my brother goes to Fan County, I'm afraid he may not be able to see the emperor..."

"Everything depends on man's effort. Some things have to be planned by ourselves."

Chapter 4: The First Battle of the Hebei Army

Outside Yicheng in Youzhou, inside Yuan Shaoshuai's tent.

"What? A soldier has broken through?" Yuan Shao looked at Jiang Qi who came to report, and said dissatisfied: "Yuan's army surrounded Yicheng like an iron barrel, and you can still let someone break through, pass it out , wouldn’t it make others laugh at me? It really should be punished!”

Yuan General Jiang Qi hurriedly knelt down on one knee, and said, "General, it's not that the last general didn't try his best, it's just that Gongsun Zan's troops who broke through the siege this time were almost the number of all the white horse followers under him, and They were all desperate to die, the last general did not expect this, and was suddenly separated by him..."

"All right!"

Yuan Shao stretched out his hand impatiently, and said: "Quickly send orders to the battalions, guard carefully, and don't make any mistakes."

"No, no!"

Jiang Qi was relieved, and hurriedly took his orders.

Yuan Shao turned his head to look at Ju Shou, who had been listening quietly, and said, "Bai Mayi dispatched the whole army to break through, so you see, it was Gongsun Zan who personally led the troops to break through?"

Ju Shou shook his head affirmatively and said: "Gongsun Zan looks bold and unrestrained, but in reality he is narrow-minded. The land of Youzhou is the place he won by risking the world's disgrace. He will never give up until he dies... As I expected, yes, It should be Gongsun Zan who sent someone to break out and ask for help."

"Breakout for help?"

Yuan Shao closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, then said: "It makes sense! It must be that Gongsun saw that the situation was in danger, so he sent someone to Heishan to find Zhang Yan to ask for help!"

Ju Shou laughed and said: "It's the best, but it saves us the effort of sending troops to kill the Black Mountain Army later. That's what we call besieging the spot for reinforcements."

While the two were talking, a guard hurriedly came outside the tent, begging to see Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao let him in, and when he was young, he saw a guard with a letter rushing to the tent, and presented Yuan Shao with a slip.

"General, this is a secret report from the Third Young Master in Linzi City."

"Oh? Bring it to me!" Yuan Shao beckoned to the guard, but when Jushou saw this, he walked away without looking at the contents of the bamboo slips.

Unlike Yuan Shao's judges, Pang Ji, Guo Tu and others, he never participated in the miscellaneous affairs between these young masters.

Yuan Shao read Yuan Shang's secret report once, and his face suddenly changed.

"Xiansi, this bastard! How dare he defy my military order and send troops to Langya Kingdom without permission!"

Ju Shou didn't take it seriously at first, but he was surprised when he heard this.

"The eldest son sent troops to Langya country? Isn't this going directly to smooth the potter's beard? This is not a good thing!"

Yuan Shao threw the bamboo slips on the ground fiercely, and said angrily: "Xianfu wrote a letter saying that he and Pang Ji's repeated dissuasion was ineffective, and Xiansi insisted on sending troops, so he could only write a secret letter to me, asking me to issue an order to stop it!"

Ju Shou said with emotion: "The land of Qingzhou is very close to the Langya Kingdom, if you issue orders to the eldest son from here, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Yuan Shao's face was very unfriendly: "This rebellious son! He dared to act so rashly. It seems that after taking Qingzhou, he didn't know how much he weighed... Sigh, this son is not a big deal."

Regarding such a sensitive topic, Ju Shou didn't respond, he just said cautiously: "We still need to send soldiers and horses to respond."
