Agents of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 573 Three Strategies Up, Middle and Down

"Wuji County was captured by the Jizhou army, we fell for it. Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

Tian Kai's eyes widened, full of fear.

He was fighting on the front line, and Wuji County in the rear fell silently, what a terrifying thing.However, just as Tian Kai yelled out, before he had time to turn his horse's head, Gan Ning had already galloped up to kill him.In mid-air, Sen Han's saber light flickered away, Tian Kai's expression froze instantly without any change, and the look in his eyes gradually disappeared.

The next moment, the bloodstain on the neck completely burst open.

puff!

Fresh blood splattered, and on Tian Kai's neck, fresh blood flowed out continuously like spring water.

Snapped!

Tian Kai fell to the ground with a bang, dying.

Gan Ning raised his saber, and while fighting, shouted loudly: "Tian Kai is dead, the descendant will not be killed!"

A loud roar resounded in the city.

Accompanied by the siege of the cavalry, the soldiers following Tian Kai were already terrified.They saw Tian Kai being killed, and when they heard the words of surrender, they quickly put down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The whole process took no more than two quarters of an hour.

This battle ended in a hurry.

With a bored expression on his face, Wen Chou came to Gan Ning's side and said with a smile, "General Gan, this battle is not good. They all surrendered before the fight started."

Gan Ning smiled, and said loudly: "If you want to fight, there are plenty of them behind. Tian Kai is just a soldier and crab general, and Gongsun Zan behind is the real big fish."

Looking at the Youzhou soldiers who were being detained, Gan Ning waved his hand and ordered: "Retreat the soldiers!"

Immediately, hundreds of cavalry escorted Youzhou soldiers to the military camp in the city.The closed gate was soon opened again, and the county town returned to calm.

Tian Kai was killed, and the news spread quickly.

At this time, Gan Ning had sent people to Xiaquyang County to report the news, waiting for Tai Shici's army to arrive.

At the end of June, Tai Shici led an army from Xiaquyang County.In addition to Tai Shici, Wang Lei also led Shi A, Lu Bu and Dian Wei to lead the army.In addition, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Shenpei and others who were stationed in Yangshi County also mobilized the troops stationed in Yangshi County to rush to Wuji County.

……

Zhongshan Country, Beiping County.

This place borders on Zhuo County of Youzhou.

After Gongsun Zan led the army southward, he placed the base camp of the Youzhou Army in Beiping County.He was sitting in Beiping County, waiting for news from Tian Kai.However, what Gongsun Zan didn't expect was that instead of the good news, the bad news came first.

Tian Kai's entire army was wiped out, and Gongsun Zan didn't eat for a whole day and night.

Sitting in the tent, not saying a word.

Seeing this, the officials below began to waver.

The morale of the army has been affected.

Guan Jing, as the chief historian, is also Gongsun Zan's confidant, and it has always been Guan Jing's job to manage the barracks.The morale of the army was unstable, and Guan Jing knew that the crux was Gongsun Zan.Guan Jing took Gongsun Zan's second younger brother Liu Weitai, third younger brother Li Yizi, and fourth younger brother Le Hedang with him to Gongsun Zan's big tent.

After saluting, the four of them sat down in the tent.

Gongsun Zan looked haggard, and asked, "You guys came to see me, do you have any news?"

Guan Jing said: "Master, we are here for Tian Kai's affairs. Tian Kai was defeated and killed, this is a thing of the past. It is meaningless to immerse yourself in failure. The war is still going on, please cheer up, my lord. , Deploy troops and generals to fight Wang Lei."

Gongsun Zan smiled, with a bitter expression on his face, and suddenly asked, "Guan Jing, is it wrong for you to oppose Wang Lei? Is this move wrong?"

brush!

Guan Jing's face changed drastically, and Gongsun Zan's heart was shaken!

Seeing this, Guan Jing quickly winked and asked Le Hedang and others to persuade him.

At this time, Gongsun Zan must be stabilized.

Le Hedang thought for a while, and said calmly: "Brother, it's not that you are wrong, it's because Tian Kai is too useless. Big brother used the pawns placed beside Tai Shici to create the best conditions for Tian Kai However, Tian Kai still failed, this is not the elder brother's fault, but Tian Kai's fault."

Guan Jing nodded and echoed, "The second general is right. My lord also has generals like Shan Jing, Yan Gang, and Zhao Yun under my lord's command. With my lord's firm determination and united will, I will definitely defeat Wang Lei."

Li Yizi smiled slightly and continued: "Brother, I also think what the fourth brother said makes sense. Now is the critical time to fight Wang Lei. We retreated with the army, and we were completely defeated by Wang Lei. We will try to kill Wang Lei later. Entering Jizhou, I am afraid it will be difficult. We must take advantage of the current opportunity to win Wang Lei in one go."

The god stick Liu Weitai narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, mysteriously: "Brother, when Tian Kai went out to fight, the sky showed that the big brother must win. However, the reason for the failure was caused by Tian Kai. I watched the sky at night, Seeing the stars in the direction of Jizhou, it seems that something big is about to happen. At this time, it is time to counterattack Wang Lei, so don't miss it!"

Gongsun Zan's brothers all tried their best to persuade him.

They are all Gongsun Zan's brothers, and they are tied to Gongsun Zan by a rope.

Therefore, we all hope that Gongsun Zan will get better and better.

Gongsun Zan heard the words of several people, and his eyes gradually brightened.Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Weitai and said, "Second brother, are you sure?"

Liu Weitai patted his chest and said, "Can I deceive Big Brother? Big Brother, this is an opportunity!"

When Gongsun Zan heard this, he immediately laughed.

Taking a deep breath, Gongsun Zan was just about to speak when suddenly his stomach rumbled.

Gongsun Zan hadn't eaten all day and all night, so he was very hungry.

Guan Jing was good at observing words and expressions, and immediately ordered: "Come here, prepare food for the Lord." After the order was issued, the soldiers outside the camp went to prepare immediately.In less than a quarter of an hour, dishes came out one after another, as well as chicken soup, rice, etc., all placed on Gongsun Zan's desk.Gongsun Zan was also unambiguous, and started to move while holding the chopsticks.

After eating and drinking enough, after the soldiers cleared away the dishes, Gongsun Zan looked at Guan Jing and asked, "This battle with Wang Lei, Tian Kai lost. What should we do next?"

Guan Jing replied: "Reporting to my lord, there are three strategies for humble positions, the upper, middle and lower, for the lord to choose."

Gongsun Zan frowned, waved his hands and said, "Quick, tell me quickly."

Hearing that Guan Jing had three strategies, Gongsun Zan was naturally very happy. He thought to himself: Guan Jing said so solemnly, so he must have full confidence.

Guan Jing said: "The best strategy, my lord, is to send an army to quietly bypass Wuji County, go to Xiaquyang County to attack Xiaquyang County, capture Xiaquyang County, and cut off the retreat of Tai Shici's army. If the retreat is cut off, Tai Shici will surely lose undoubtedly."

Gongsun Zan thought for a while and asked, "What about the middle policy?"

Although the best strategy sounds good, it is not easy to actually implement it.

It is almost impossible to capture Xia Quyang County quietly.

Guan Jing replied: "Zhongce, my lord led the troops to confront Wang Lei, and at the same time sent assassins to assassinate the generals and officials under Wang Lei's command, disturb the morale of the Jizhou army, and take the opportunity to defeat Wang Lei."

After hearing this, Gongsun Zan was a little tempted, but after thinking about it carefully, he still shook his head.

Yuan Shao sent people to assassinate a great Confucian in Jizhou, which caused an uproar.

Since that incident, Wang Lei dispatched his forces to protect the officials and generals under his command.It is not easy to assassinate officials under Wang Lei's command.More importantly, Gongsun Zan knew that Wang Lei had a history of training assassins, and in terms of assassination methods, Wang Lei was even more powerful.

Once he sets a precedent to assassinate Wang Lei's officials, I'm afraid Wang Lei will do whatever he can.

At that time, it will be him who suffers.

Gongsun Zan asked, "Chang Shi, what's the worst policy?"

Guan Jing fell silent, and the expression on his face became very solemn.

Liu Weitai said: "Guan Changshi, what is the next plan? No matter what kind of suggestion, I have to let the elder brother consider it, and then decide whether to adopt it after weighing it."

Guan Jing sighed softly: "The worst strategy is to use Zhao Yun to lure Wang Lei's army."

"How to lure?" Gongsun Zan asked.

Guan Jing said: "I sent someone to investigate Zhao Yun's situation. Zhao Yun's teacher Tong Yuan is in Ye County, and he is also Wang Lei's elder. At the beginning, after Wang Lei arrested Zhao Yun, he released Zhao Yun because of the certain relationship between the two parties. Since Zhao Yun and Wang Lei have this level of relationship, let Zhao Yun lead an army from Beiping County to attack Wuji County in the south. With Zhao Yun's leading ability, he will not be easily defeated by Wang Lei. As long as Zhao Yun takes Wang Lei's main force To lure them out, we will quietly dispatch troops to surround Wang Lei's army, and we will surely win."

Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up, and his heart was already moving.

Gongsun Zan had heard about Zhao Yun and Wang Lei.

In the past, Gongsun Zan sent Zhao Yun to lead troops to attack Wang Lei.However, instead of attacking Wang Lei first, Zhao Yun attacked Wuhuan and then attacked Wang Lei.

Gongsun Zan always kept this matter in mind.

After hearing Guan Jing's suggestion, Gongsun Zan stood up and ordered: "Changshi's top, middle, and bottom three strategies, in my opinion, the bottom strategy is the best strategy. You go and send an order to let Zhao Yun command a [-]-strong army as the vanguard, and go south Attack Wuji County."

"promise!"

Guan Jing nodded and went to make arrangements immediately.

After seeing this, Liu Weitai, Li Yizi, Le Hedang and others felt relieved.

As long as Gongsun Zan's fighting spirit is still there, everything will be fine.

……

On this day, a large army came from outside Wuji County.This army was impressively led by Tai Shici.At the same time, Wang Lei, Lu Bu, Dian Wei and others also arrived.

The army was stationed outside the city, and Wang Lei and others walked into the city.

The news of Wang Lei's arrival in the county town somehow spread throughout the city.

When the people knew about it, they came to welcome him one after another.Ever since Tian Kai came to Wuji County, he was either conscription or food requisition, which caused complaints from the people.Wang Lei came back with a large army, and the people naturally opened the door to welcome Wang Lei to the Guoxiang Mansion, and temporarily stayed in the Guoxiang Mansion.

Two days later, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Shen Pei and others led the army and arrived in Wuji County.The base camp was moved from Yangshi County to Wuji County, and Wang Lei summoned the people under his command to the Prime Minister's Mansion to discuss the next battle.

In the hall, everyone gathered.

Sitting directly above, Wang Lei glanced at the people below, and said, "After so many years, we have come back again, to Wuji County. When we withdrew from Zhongshan Kingdom, I said that we would definitely come back. Gongsun Zan The enmity for invading and occupying Zhongshan Kingdom will definitely be taken back."
