Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1815 Grain Dao Competition [-]

Xu Shu knew that there was not much time left for him, so everything was advancing at the fastest speed.

That afternoon, Gongsun Du was released.

One day later, all the more than 1 captive soldiers and horses left in Liaodong were sent to Gongsundu, including some of Gongsundu's generals, none of whom were detained.

Gongsun Du didn't expect that Xu Shu really had such great courage and dared to gather his own troops. Wouldn't he be afraid that he would turn back and fight back?

Even on the school field, Gongsun Du still felt a little unreal when he saw his soldiers and looked at familiar faces from the past.

He saw his lieutenant general, former military adviser, Liu Yi.

Liu Yi's expression was a little depressed at this time, and he seemed to have lost his former charm, but felt a little dying.

"Old Willow!"

Gongsun Du is still used to discussing military affairs with Liu Yi: "Why do you think Xu Yuanzhi gave me this chance!"

"not understand!"

Liu Yi shook his head: "If I can figure it out, I'm afraid we won't be defeated at Hangu Pass, and won't be reduced to prisoners!"

In his eyes, a faint light flashed across.

Gongsun Du was defeated.

He almost died in battle.

It was the military doctor of the Ming Army who rescued him. Similarly, before coming here, he had also talked with Xu Shu for a long time, and his choice of some things was completely different.

No, it should be said that in the face of the general trend, they actually have no choice.

Only by following the general trend can we survive.

"Then do you think I can turn back?" Gongsundu gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

"It depends on what the lord wants!"

Liu Yi responded in a low voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Xu Shu, I can't see through, but it doesn't prevent me from being clear. When we were at the peak of our military strength, we were still defeated by them. Now we are just a group of bereaved troops. Although we have returned our weapons, But there are not too many battle armors, plus the soldiers were defeated and died countless battles, the military spirit has already been defeated, not to mention whether they have the courage to turn back, even if there is, how much can be left, at this time we will turn back, It's nothing more than being killed by the Ming army again!"

Liu Yi sighed, and said, "And this time, my lord will not even think about returning to Liaodong!"

"Do I have a chance now?" Gongsundu gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering with blood: "Xu Shu said that although it sounds good, but I know that he will not let us leave easily. He just wants to use us. , maybe let us become their pawns, and they won't care how many times we die, after all, we are their captives!"

"There is still a chance!"

Liu Yi said: "No matter what the Ming army is planning, at least, he needs us now, that is, we still have value. Die on the battlefield, just die as a guest in a foreign country, and it can't be worse than the current end!"

When Gongsun Du heard this, his pupils froze for a moment, and a bitter smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

What Liu Yi said was true.

Cough!

Liu Yi couldn't help coughing twice while talking, and his face turned pale.

"How is your health?" Gongsun Du was still more concerned about Liu Yi.

"It's okay, my life was almost taken away. It is the kindness of the Ming army to save my life. I can still see the lord, and I have no regrets in this life!"

Liu Yi smiled with a pale smile. He was pierced by a bow and arrow and almost injured his lung lobe. Even though the wound has been healed, sometimes he can't help coughing.

"Actually, we don't have a second way now!"

Gongsun Du looked ahead, and the road ahead was boundless, but no matter what, as a defeated general, he was still alive in this troubled world, which was considered pretty good.

"Let's take a step by step!"

Liu Yi said in a low voice: "If there is a chance, we will find a way to escape to the north and return to Youzhou!"

"Ok!"

Gongsun Du nodded.

At this time, he couldn't allow him to have too many thoughts, after all, Xu Shu on the top of the city was watching him covetously, and he didn't think he had a chance to fight back.

"When did they tell us to go?"

"Tomorrow morning, we will pull out the camp, go north to cross the river, and then attack Xiahouyuan's camp from Hanoi. They don't ask us to go in, but they want to hold down Xiahouyuan's main force!"

Gongsun Du said: "With our current strength, it is a bit difficult, but if we plan well, there is still some hope!"

As he spoke, he gritted his teeth a little: "Xia Houyuan is ruthless and ungrateful. He turned his back on us on the battlefield. This enmity, this hatred, I can't get over it. If I fight him, even if I die on the battlefield, I will not hesitate!"

Xu Shu pretended not to care very much in front of him. He said it was easy on the surface, but he was not so relaxed in his heart.

For some people, he is more ruthless about the betrayal of his own people than the strength of the enemy.

Humanity is like that.

Xia Houyuan joined forces with him to fight, but at the critical moment, he withdrew himself, using him as a shield to hold back the Ming army for him.

This kind of behavior made Gongsun Du hate him for 100 years in his heart.

"Xia Houyuan is a general of the Wei army, and he is good at fighting. If we want to hold him back, it may not be so easy, and we don't know anything about the battlefield, so we may not have a chance of winning!"

Liu Yi looked worried.

"Xu Shu said that the Jingwu Division of the Ming court will assist us and act as our scouts, and will always report the news of Xia Houyuan, including his camp, the situation of his troops, and his morale..."

Gongsun Du said: "You and I have heard the name of Jingwu Division. If their information can be used by us, we will not be blind and deaf on the battlefield!"

On the battlefield, the most afraid of becoming blind and deaf.

He is not afraid to be a knife.

I am afraid that this knife will not be able to see the enemy at all, how will he fight at that time.

"What about the food and grass?"

Liu Yi asked again.

"They will guarantee our food supply!"

Gongsun Du continued: "But I have some doubts. Xu Shu is blackmailing us with food and grass. We are now in the hinterland of the Central Plains and there are wars everywhere. Food and grass are lifeblood. As long as they don't give us enough food and grass, we can't leave the battlefield!"

"Even if they do this, there is nothing we can do!" Liu Yi said helplessly.

Now they are fish and meat, and Xu Shu is Daozu.

"Supply food, provide information, and return all the weapons to us. I even saw a batch of bows and arrows sent to us just now..."

Liu Yi couldn't help but glanced back, looking at the figure on the Luoyang city wall in the distance, he gasped a bit: "He is really bold, he is really not afraid that we will fight them with the idea of ​​dying together !"

"I thought so too, but when I think about it, I feel that Xu Shu is a scary person. When I was in the camp, I was not afraid of death, but after I was released, I didn't have that courage!"

Gongsun Du said softly: "Even though I know he is using us, even he is pushing us to die, but there is still a difference between early death and late death, and at least in this way we can still have the disappointment of being alive. Cut it off, and then there is no hope at all!"

"People's hearts!"

Liu Yi took a deep look at Gongsundu.

He looked up at the figure in the distance again: "It's really scary!"

He had to admit one thing, that is, the Ming court general named Xu Shu had calculated them very accurately, including their psychological changes.

"Now we don't have to think too much, let's fight this battle first!" Gongsundu gritted his teeth, and Xiao Sha said: "Although I don't know what Xu Shu wants to do, but I know that if we can hold Xia Houyuan, There is still a chance of surviving, even if I can't return to Liaodong, at worst I vote for the Ming court!"

"You have to vote!"

"The Kingdom of Yan is gone, and it is not too much for me to vote for the Ming Dynasty. Today's world is in turmoil and disputes. We can still rule the roost in Liaodong. In the Central Plains, without shelter, we can only face the fate of betrayal!"

Gongsun Du said coldly.

Liu Yi didn't speak, but his eyes flickered for a moment, and he was also thinking about how to go on this future road.

................................................

On the city floor.

Xu Shu carried his hands on his back, and Chen Dao stood beside him.

"Zhang Ren and Pang Xi have already started to leave, and their soldiers and horses are heading north from the Yanjin Ferry!"

Chen Dao said in a low voice.

"Ok!"

Xu Shu stared intently at the outside of the city, watching the behavior of the Liaodong army after they regained their control. Some were crying, some were silent, and some seemed ready to move.

This is a play of all beings.

"You released Gongsun Du like this, and returned the Liaodong Army to him, so you're not afraid that he will bite back?" Chen Dao couldn't figure it out, where did Xu Shu come from such confidence.

"Scared!"

Xu Shu smiled wryly: "No matter how confident I am, I'm still afraid of accidents. People's hearts are unpredictable. Who knows if he, Gongsun Du, will suddenly want to die with me? He bears a grudge against us, as it should be!"

"Then you still dare to do this?"

Chen Dao's eyes sparkled, and he felt that Xu Shu at this moment was more courageous and courageous than him.

"I have no way to go!"

Xu Shu sighed: "If we can't go north and make a breakthrough, we will have no way to transport the grain and grass north. Your Majesty's hundreds of thousands of troops are waiting, and we can't afford time. We can only gamble. If we win, I will If you win, if you lose the bet, it’s a big deal and you have to go all out!”

"You dare to bet!"

The corner of Chen Dao's mouth slightly raised a playful smile: "If this is bitten, we may not even be able to keep Luoyang. Xiahouyuan on the north bank of the Yellow River will definitely kill a carbine!"

"I still have some confidence in Gongsundu. To put it bluntly, living is worse than dying!"

Xu Shu also smiled, and said, "Gongsun Du's desire to die with me is less than one percent. I bet he doesn't have the courage and guts, nor is he so determined!"

"You've won the bet, I don't think he dare to surpass Lei Ting half a step!"

Chen Dao thought for a while and said, "But what if he leads his army northward and joins Xia Houyuan!"

"I'm not worried about that!"

Xu Shu smiled, and his eyes and smiles were full of confidence: "If you say that he will find a way to escape from the battlefield after going north, I will believe it. If you say that he will seek refuge with Xia Houyuan, it will definitely be useless!"

"why?"

"What people hate the most is never their own enemies, but those who betray themselves. From Xiahouyuan's point of view, it was no problem for him to do so in the battle of Hanguguan. But from Gongsundu's point of view, Xiahouyuan Just sell him upside down, if he has no hatred in his heart, then he is really a saint!"

Xu Shu sneered.

"Gongsun Du can be regarded as a generation of heroes. He dominates Liaodong, and he is quite flexible. Even if he hates Xia Houyuan, he may not be able to do so!"

Chen Dao said suspiciously: "People who do great things have choices, and they will not make decisions just because of the disgust in their hearts!"

"Those people you mentioned are either Cao Mengde or Liu Xuande. Even a hero like Sun Bofu can't do this. Gongsundu is Gongsundu. If he lives another 100 years, Gongsundu will not be able to catch up with Liu Xuande. Shameless, Cao Mengde's city!"

Xu Shu shook his head: "He doesn't have such endurance!"

"Right!"

Chen Dao couldn't help nodding his head when he heard the words, and said: "If Gongsun Du has this level of ability, he doesn't need to stay in Liaodong, and even fight for Liu Xuande!"

"Jing Wusi has already sent people to watch them. Now as long as they cross the river and catch Xia Houyuan, we will have a chance!"

Xu Shu looked at Chen Dao and said, "Whether Zhang Ren and Pang Xi can achieve their goal is another matter. Even if it is achieved, it will not have a big impact on our side, but it will only affect the overall situation. We still follow the original plan, and now Gongsun Du is suppressing him." If Xiahouyuan's main force lives, then there are not many troops who can stop us on the road. I will lead the troops in Luoyang City to explore the way north with fake grain and grass carts. The road in the east of the river, no matter the cost, must transport the grain and grass to the north and send it to Shangdang!"

"Then you are not very dangerous!"

Chen Dao frowned.

"It's okay!"

Xu Shu said lightly: "As long as I can attract their attention and hang out with them for a few days, you will have a chance. As for the danger, I won't. I have already calculated it. As long as I survive the initial siege, then Later, we can break it up into pieces and join forces with the Liaodong Army!"

"If you are on the order, there is no guarantee that Gongsun Du will not bite you!" Chen Dao was still worried: "Why don't I separate a battalion!"

"No!"

Xu Shu shook his head: "The Wei army has troops in Hedong, they must be here to make trouble, and you need to deal with it then!"

He smiled and said confidently: "Don't worry, as long as I successfully enter the Liaodong barracks, then I'll be sure of Gongsun Du, and he won't be able to turn himself over!"

In his eyes, Gongsun Du is just a lost dog. If he can't even tame this lost dog, what face does Xu Shu have to be so loved by the emperor.

In this battle, in the end it was up to Chen Dao to break through from Hedong.

He looked at Chen Dao, and said, "You have more pressure and more responsibility. His Majesty's life and death rest on your shoulders!"

"Yes!"

Chen Dao gritted his teeth, and his eyes were firm: "Even if all my soldiers die here, I must open up the grain road and transport the grain to the north!"
