Chapter 181
boundary bridge.

Before Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan met here, they fought several battles in succession, winning and losing.Now Yuan Shao has an army of [-] and is determined to defeat Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop.

Not reconciled to showing weakness, Gongsun Zan sent [-] troops to confront Yuan Shao.

Gongsun Zan is more brave but less resourceful, Yuan Shao is cunning but indecisive, the two are inseparable, and neither can do anything to the other.There are victories and defeats for each other, and they can't fight for a long time.

However, at this moment, the balance of victory tilted towards Yuan Shao, and a fighter that made Yuan Shao laugh in his dreams appeared beside him.

This fighter goes back to five years ago.

Liu Yu was originally a shepherd in Youzhou. He believed that the official was clean and honest. He was a good official who didn't wear silk or satin and didn't eat meat. He was completely different from the decadent style of extravagance and extravagance of the bureaucrats in the Eastern Han Dynasty.Therefore, it is deeply loved by the common people and scholars.

During his tenure, he focused on the development of agriculture and sericulture, used Shanggu County to conduct border trade with the Huns, Fuyu, Xianbei and other ethnic groups, and exploited the rich salt and iron resources in Yuyang County.

According to the current popular saying, it is self-tapping potential, getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.After Liu Yu's management, Youzhou became one of the wealthiest areas at that time.There are as many as one million people who came to settle in Qingzhou and Xuzhou.His political achievements during his governance were the highest in the world, and no one can compare with the big man.

But Gongsun Zan was the prefect of Beiping at that time, he was arrogant and indulgent, he didn't pay attention to the people, and he was warlike by nature.He often harassed the people and plundered Liu Yu's property, which not only undermined the policy of tranquilizing the people, but also undermined foreign diplomacy.

Liu Yu couldn't understand Gongsun Zan's actions at that time, and was angered by Gongsun Zan, so he raised troops to attack.

At the beginning, Liu Yubing won many battles, but because he loved the people and didn't want to harass the people, he lost many opportunities and was defeated by Gongsun Zan.

At that time, Gongsun Zan's troops were dispersed, but Gongsun Zan was defeated and fled to a small city.Although Liu Yu was angry, he was still a gentleman, and ordered: "No one else will be hurt, just kill Bogui." In other words, don't hurt others, just kill Gongsun Zan.

Originally, as long as Liu Yu ordered to attack the city, Gongsun Zan didn't even have a hundred soldiers around him, and he would surely die if he attacked.

That is to say, Liu Yu did not want to burn down the houses of the common people and refused to attack the city.

Gongsun Zan is a battle-tested general. After discovering Liu Yu's point, he immediately recruited hundreds of soldiers in the city, broke through with fire, and defeated Liu Yu utterly.

Later, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu's family and took over the Youzhou shepherd himself.As long as anyone in his territory has a reputation comparable to him, he will be killed by him according to the law.

Liu Yu's subordinates engaged in Yuyang Xianyufu, Qi Zhou, and Qiduwei Xianyuyin, felt Liu Yu's great kindness, and raised troops to avenge Liu Yu.As a result, he was defeated and fled to Xianbei, Karasuma and other places.

Both Xianbei and Karasuma are under the care of Liu Yu, and are willing to help Xianyufu and others to avenge.Xian Yufu and others recruited soldiers in Xianbei and Karasuma, and obtained tens of thousands of Han soldiers and Hu soldiers.

In August of the second year of Jian'an (AD [-]).

Liu He, the son of Liu Yu, suddenly appeared in Yuan Shao's army and discussed the formation of an alliance between the two armies.

September [-]th.

Xian Yufu fought with Yuyang prefect Zou Dan in the north of the Lu River, defeated Gongsun Zan's army, and beheaded Zou Dan.

Gongsun Zan was defenseless and his army was in a state of chaos.

Yuan Shao took the opportunity to fight and defeated Gongsun Zan at Jieqiao.

Yuan Shao, Liu He, and Xianyu Fuhui defeated Gongsun's army again and beheaded more than [-] people.

Yuan Shao divided his troops into four groups, each breaking through Daijun, Guangyang, Shanggu, Youbeiping and other counties.

Gongsun Zan's morale was low, and he was defeated after repeated battles, so he fled back to Yijing to defend himself.

For a while, Yuan Shao won consecutive battles.It almost dominates the Northland, and its reputation is at the height of its glory.

Yuan Shao had great ambitions, and before the Northland was conquered, he set his sights on the Central Plains.

Knowing that Sun Can was also powerful, he followed Ju's advice and secretly conspired against Zhang Lu, ordering him to send troops from Hanzhong to Shangyong and Fangling, intending to attack Fancheng when Sun Can was unable to take care of it.

The treasure land of the Central Plains has already attracted the attention of the princes of the world, and a super-large-scale chaotic war has begun to brew in all aspects.

****************
At this moment, the only person who can calm Lu Bu down is Chen Gong, because in Lu Bu's mind, only Chen Gong can help him defeat Sun Can.

After all, when everyone had nothing to do with Sun Can, it was Chen Gong who played with Sun Can on top of the applause six times with his outstanding talent and unquestionable strategy.

At this moment, if you don't count on him, don't you count on Li Ru, that idiot who has no tricks?

At this moment, Lu Bu seems to have forgotten that if Li Ru hadn't helped him start his career, how would he be where he is today.

Chen Gong smiled and said: "Sun Can's trick is really ingenious. He used himself as a bait to attract the attention of our army. Then he attacked Guangling with a small army and captured a county of Guangling. Marquis Wen, why don't we send troops as well?" How about Qingqi going to Guangling?"

Lu Bu questioned: "The spies reported that Guangling has Sun Can's army of [-]. How can Qingqi defeat the enemy?"

Chen Gong said proudly: "Marquis Wen doesn't know that Sun Can's army only has 5000 troops. Not to mention the soldiers who were damaged during the attack on Jingzhou, just look at the current army strength. Xu Huang led 3000 troops to garrison Fancheng. Zhang Liao led an army of nearly [-] to garrison Liyang, and Chen Dao led an army of nearly [-] to garrison Runan. In addition, Wujiang Port also had an army of about [-], minus some soldiers lost on the battlefield. It can be seen that the number of soldiers and horses in Guangling County is no more than [-]. , minus the consumption of the siege, the maximum is [-] soldiers, [-] men and horses are nothing, and how can they be our army's opponent?"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "What Gongtai said makes sense."

"Who wants to lead an army of five thousand to defeat the enemy?" Lu Bu glanced at the generals under his command, and agreed to Chen Gong's strategy.

None of the soldiers dared to answer.

Lu Bu's face became extremely cold again, and he cursed angrily: "Idiots, a bunch of idiots. The public platform has such a clever strategy, but you are afraid to fight? You are so timid, what use is it for me to support you?"

Chen Gong suddenly patted his head, and realized: "Wen Hou, I am so confused, I forgot that the general guarding Guangling is Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun is both wise and brave, and his martial arts are superb. Even Wen Hou himself was defeated by him. How can you generals be Zhao Yun's opponent?

I'm afraid, even Marquis Wen himself is not..."

"Shut up..." Lu Bu's eyes were burning like fire, and he stared at Chen Gong with hatred. If Chen Gong was not his confidant at the moment, or if the person speaking was Li Ru, then he would definitely punch this mess to death. speaking mouth.

He sternly shouted: "I, Wushuang Lu Bu, is number one in the world, what is Zhao Yun's kid? If it wasn't for that beast (Red Rabbit)" tearing up and screaming indiscriminately, he caught my horse, and the horse didn't obey the command, so I let the kid be lucky. Victory, otherwise, how could he beat me? "

Chen Gong said expressionlessly: "Maybe, but there is no one in the Hungry Army who is Zhao Yun's enemy. Anyway, Guangling's gains and losses have little to do with our army. Our army has won six games in a row, and it doesn't matter if we lose even once."

Lu Bu said unceremoniously: "It doesn't matter what, the other party took my city. If we don't do anything, won't the world laugh at me?"

Chen Gong nodded and said: "Although that is the case, it is really difficult to find a general in our army who can be as beautiful as him!"

Lv Bu was angry, Chen Gong said repeatedly that no one in the army was a match for Zhao Yun, isn't that just saying that he is inferior to Zhao Yun?Immediately said in a strong tone: "Gongtai, don't grow other people's ambitions, and lose your prestige. Bu will lead five thousand soldiers to meet Zhao Yun today."

Chen Gong thought about it, and felt that [-] cavalry were too many. He didn't know how many troops there were in Guangling, but according to his real guess, it would definitely not exceed [-].And Lu Bu's ability to lead the army is indeed not bad. It is not for nothing that he has defeated more with less.If he really went to fight Zhao Yun, and Zhao Yun was not his enemy, what should he do?

So, he said fiercely again: "The opponent has 3000 warriors, the general must lead 5000 people, otherwise there is a risk of defeat." It is necessary to bring [-] troops, otherwise there is no chance of winning.

"Hmph" Lu Bu was provoked by Chen Gong, and changed his words: "Three thousand is enough, don't talk too much."

After a pause, Lu Bu said: "The gains and losses here will be handed over to the public platform." Then he glanced at the crowd and said, "When I am away, the public platform will act as an agent for all matters in the army, and you must obey the public platform. Words must not be violated."

Li Ru hesitated to speak, seeing Lu Bu looking at Chen Gong with trust in his eyes, he couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, and staggered towards the outside of the tent.

The second year of Jian'an (AD 21) January [-]st.

Lu Buzhong Chen Gong's strategy of "tuning the tiger away from the mountain" led [-] troops to leave the camp to attack Guangling County.

Five days later, Chen Gong ordered the convening of thirty generals and men of the whole army to discuss the matter.

During the banquet, Chen Gong suddenly ordered the whole army to invest in the shocking words under Sun Can's command.

More than a dozen generals including Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng refused to follow and resisted loudly.

The rest of the officers and generals, big and small, agreed to surrender and handed over their talismans.

Tibetan Ba ​​received all the soldiers in the army one by one with the soldier talisman, and turned in all the weapons of all the soldiers under the pretext of changing weapons.

Half an hour later, Sun Can's army surrounded the four gates of Lu Bu's army camp.

The soldiers were unarmed and in a mess.Immediately, Chen Gong and the surrendering soldiers opened the gate of the village, announcing the surrender of the whole army, and those who refused to obey would be executed.

The soldiers could not resist without weapons. After beheading a few people, the whole army knelt down to accept Sun Can's surrender.

"Gongtai deserves the most credit for being able to surrender Lv Bu's entire army without bloodshed this time." Sun Can was very happy to have defeated Lv Bu's army without a single soldier, and was even more grateful to Chen Gong. It is praise in every possible way.

The rest of the generals, big and small, also received a lot of rewards.

Note: The above comments of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan are true. Liu Yu is such a gentleman who loves the people to the extreme, and he can also be said to be a fool.
