Invincible from the beginning of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Playing With Gongsun Zan
Outside Linzi City, Gongsun Zan was extremely anxious.

After a month of siege, the city seemed to be in no hurry.

Every morning, you can still hear the sound of the defenders' drills in the city.

This is so fucking unreasonable.

Xi Zhicai wanders around the city every day, and every time he takes the initiative to wave his hand to greet them.

Another day passed, and this morning, Gongsun Zan summoned his men again.

"Brother, let's attack." Gongsun Yue said.

"Okay, then attack. You lead an army of [-] and storm the city."

Gongsun Yue took the order and left.

The attack began, and the city was still calm.

Xu Huang appeared at the top of the city, commanding calmly.

After storming for a long time, there was no sign of panic in the city, and their morale did not drop, but remained high.

This is totally unreasonable.

They were all besieged and became an isolated city, why is this so?
And Zhang Ming, who has been wandering outside with the army, has no intention of helping Qingzhou.

"Brother, we have nothing to do all day, why not attack Gongsun Zan's rear?" Zhang Fei suggested to Zhang Ming.

"Don't worry. Doesn't Gongsun Zan like to fight? Let him fight until he's tired. Naturally, he won't fight."

Zhang Ming didn't intend to rescue Linzi, but wanted Gongsun Zan to fight.

Zhang Ming reckoned that Gongsun Zan didn't see any signs of breaking through Linzi City in the first half of the battle.

Among them, the most important thing in this kind of thing is morale.

For an isolated city, once the morale collapses, the city will collapse within a few days.

However, Zhang Ming and the others are not like this, able to maintain morale.

To maintain morale, in addition to training every day, there is enough money and food in the city.

In addition, the army in Liaodong is all junior soldiers. Their family has a house and land in Liaodong, and they are not just here to serve as soldiers for food.

Due to several reasons, Gongsun Zan was helpless.

Another day of mad attack, the city is still as firm as a rock.

Gongsun Zan had no choice but to stop attacking and continue the siege.

On this day, Xi Zhicai and Xu Huang saw that Gongsun Zan was not attacking, so they asked the soldiers to shout from the top of the city wall.

"Prefect Gongsun, let's talk."

Gongsun Zan came with troops, at the base of the city.

"Xu Huang, dare to fight again." Gongsun Zan challenged.

Xu Huang shook his head, and said honestly: "My lord, let me defend the city and not attack."

"This city has already become a dead city, and Zhang Ming wants you to die here," Gongsun Zan said.

Xi Zhicai looked indifferent, and he asked the soldiers to make two pots of tea.

Xi Zhicai said: "Prefect Gongsun, we are very loyal, so there is no need to use such a cheap scheme of separation."

Gongsun Zan didn't say a word, this divorce plan was indeed very poor.

"But my lord also said it." Xi Zhicai said again: "My lord said, this city of Linzi, the prefect Gongsun will stop fighting when he is tired, so we don't need to worry."

Gongsun Zan was very angry. Didn't he despise him? What does it mean to stop beating when they are tired? It means they will never be able to beat him?

"Insanity."

Gongsun Zan couldn't bear it anymore.

"This Linzi city is already a dead city, so what if you continue to struggle, but if you give up the city, I can let you go." Gongsun Zan said.

When the tea came, Xi Zhicai picked it up on the top of the wall and drank it, regardless of Gongsun Zan's feelings.

After taking a sip, Xi Zhicai's voice became more comfortable, and he said, "Gongsun Prefect, my lord has a saying, that is, don't beep if you can do it."

Gongsun Zan was furious and really led his troops to attack.

Another day of mad attack, the loss is not small, but Linzi City is still strong.

Gongsun Zan had to retreat.

This battle is stalemate.

After all, Linzi City is the seat of Qingzhou, and it is very strong.

After a few more days of siege, Gongsun Zan tried to attack. He tried several methods, but Xi Zhicai easily resolved them all.

Xi Zhicai cooperated with Xu Huang to keep the city tight.

In fact, a big credit is some cement left by Zhang Ming.

The cement can repair the damaged city wall in time.

Gongsun Zan failed several times, and now he had to face a big problem.

To continue the siege, or to give up.

Giving up seemed impossible, the impact was too great.

If the siege continues, it will be difficult for Gongsun Zan to deal with other directions.

Gongsun Zan came with an army of more than 6, did he just leave in such a hurry?

As a last resort, he left [-] troops to continue the siege, and he took the troops to go to other directions, because Yuan Shao has been active recently.

At this time, Zhang Ming led the army to Bohai County.

This Bohai County was originally owned by Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao later gave it to Gongsun Fan.

At this time, Gongsun Fanzheng led the army to besiege Linzi, why did Zhang Ming go there?
Of course I went on a trip, that's all.

"Brother, our [-] troops can take down this Bohai County." Zhang Fei has not fought for two months, it is really unbearable.

"Don't worry, let's just take a stroll around. If our third party gets involved, both Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shaoke will be interested."

This is indeed the case. Inside Yuan Shao, everyone has already started discussing, suggesting to join forces with Zhang Ming to attack Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan, now the number one vassal in the north, has a powerful army and is eyeing the entire Jizhou.

He is Yuan Shao's greatest enemy.

At this time, he was also Zhang Ming's biggest enemy.

Therefore, several counselors on Yuan Shao's side believed that there was a basis for cooperation with Zhang Ming.

Zhang Ming and the others wandered outside for many days, and there was not much food and grass at this time.

After Zhang Ming and the others walked around Bohai County, they directly entered Yuan Shao's territory.

Gao Lan leads the troops to come.

"It turned out to be General Gao. Our army has run out of food and grass, and I want to borrow some from League Leader Yuan."

Gao Lan came here on order to stop Zhang Ming, but he didn't expect that Zhang Ming came to borrow food and grass.

"I'll send someone to inquire."

Two days later, Zhang Ming borrowed food and grass, then left Jizhou, and went to Jixian County, the seat of Youzhou.

When Gongsun Zan knew that Yuan Shao had lent him grain and went north again, Gongsun Zan was shocked. Could the two be cooperating?

The most feared thing came, Gongsun Zan immediately led an army of [-] to pursue Zhang Ming.

However, Zhang Ming made a circle, and the two armies pursued for more than ten days, but Zhang Ming escaped.

Gongsun Zan didn't dare to divide his troops. He knew Zhang Ming's [-]-strong army, if he divided his troops to encircle them, they would only be defeated one by one in the end.

After chasing for more than ten days, Zhang Ming suddenly disappeared.

Gongsun Zan sent people to investigate everywhere as if he was facing an enemy.

Gongsun Zan was afraid that Zhang Ming would suddenly attack him.

Zhang Ming directly led his troops and rushed towards Linzi City. Gongsun Zan reacted and led his men to chase immediately.

But it is already late.

Zhang Ming arrived ahead of time, cooperating with the inside and outside, and defeated Gongsun Zan's army outside Linzi City. He killed more than 4000 people, captured more than [-] people, and retreated the rest.

Zhang Ming went out and made a big circle, and then returned to Linzi City.

Outside Linzi city, Zhang Ming met Xi Zhicai, Xu Huang and Chen Yang.

"My lord, Gongsun Zan was tricked once, and next time he might be serious." Xi Zhicai said calmly without feeling nervous.

"Well, I will return to Liaodong immediately, and I will leave this place to you. If you lose, you can break through, but you must stick to it for three months." Zhang Ming said.
