Chapter 597
If it were the past, Ji Yuan would have given a proud order.
However, he was defeated and fled back. He was likely to be punished next time. At that time, the tiger would fall into the Pingyang. There were many times when asking for help, so he was very polite to the soldiers guarding the gate.
The soldiers entered the mansion to report. Soon after, the soldiers came back and said, "General Ji, Chief Secretary, please invite him."
"Thank you."
Ji Yuan nodded and entered the mansion.
The soldier looked at Ji Yuan, who was dressed in a torn clothes, and smiled at himself. He thought to himself: "It's so strange today. Ji Yuan, who never looked at people directly, would actually thank him for a mud-legged person like us."
Without mentioning the soldiers' ideas, Ji Yuan entered the government office and headed straight to the hall.
Entering the hall, he saw Guan Jing sitting high in the main seat. Ji Yuan knelt on the ground with a plop and said in a low tone: "I will be guilty. Please punish him."
Guan Jing saw Ji Yuan and frowned and said, "Where are Gu Lie and Hong Shusi?"
"Dead."
Ji Yuan lowered his head and answered carefully.
Guan Jing's eyes widened, and the anger in his heart suddenly rose. Obviously, he was defeated again this time. His face turned pale, his fists were clenched, and he punched the desk in front of him.
"Bang."
With a loud bang, Ji Yuan shivered coldly and almost fell to the ground.
"What the hell is going on? Plan well and how can you fail?"
Guan Jing's face was cold and his eyes were cold. In Guan Jing's view, the Jizhou army won Lian Zhan. Taishici's vanguard army gradually became arrogant and tempted to design. The other party would definitely lose. Furthermore, he made a perfect plan and would definitely win a great victory.
Why.
Why did it fail?
No matter how Guan Jing thought, he couldn't even understand.
On the way back, Ji Yuan had already thought of a word. He said slowly: "The plan of Guan Chief Shi is excellent. Gu Lie and Hong Shusi and I drove according to the plan. Everything went smoothly."
"The two sides fought. We destroyed Taishici's three thousand vanguard troops from the beginning."
"Then, I ambushed Taishici's reinforcements halfway."
"However, the problem lies in reinforcements. We occupy favorable terrain. We hide on the hills and shoot with bows and arrows. Or soldiers form spear formations to cover them. But a surprising scene happened."
"No matter how we shoot and attack, the other party always resists tenaciously."
"We even adopted the strategy of surrendering the Jizhou army. However, none of the other generals surrendered. They all led the Jizhou soldiers to fight to the death. The two sides used each mountain as the place of battle. They fought with their lives and fought for control of the mountain."
"From then on, our army began to lose a lot."
"But we have the advantage after all. The soldiers lost countless times and finally forced the other party to a desperate situation. I thought I could wipe out the other party in one fell swoop. At this moment, another wave of reinforcements from the Jizhou Army came."
"The person who came was Lu Bu. He led the Three Thousand Eagle Falcon Camp into the battlefield."
Ji Yuan said helplessly: "Our army fought with 20,000 Jizhou troops. Most of our troops lost. The combat effectiveness was severely reduced. The original advantage was already minimal. Lu Bu's Eagle Falcon Camp rushed in. The situation changed immediately. Gu Lie and Hong Shusi were the first to be killed. Bei Zhi wanted to report the news to the adults and survived. Otherwise, he would have died in the battlefield."
Guan Jing asked: "In this battle, how many people did the Jizhou army lose?"
Ji Yuan thought for a while and replied: "The specific results of the battle are hard to guess. But the last observation is that 20,000 Youzhou troops will definitely go ten times. It is very impressive to have three thousand people left."
Guan Jing nodded and couldn't help but sigh.
This battle is a pity.
At the same time, Guan Jing also understood the ferocity of the Jizhou army. When he reached a desperate situation, he could fight to the death. Such an army was really scary.
After a brief sigh, Guan Jing felt a thousand-foot passion again.
Fighting with such an army is worth it if you die.
Even if he dies, Guan Jing will let the world see his abilities. Even if he takes extreme measures.
Guan Jing glanced at Ji Yuan and said, "This battle failed. Although there were objective factors, it still failed. This was caused by your improper command. You said, what should I do with you?"
When Ji Yuan heard this, he was immediately scared to death.
"The Chief Secretary. I am willing to make meritorious service. Please let me tell you a secret."
It involves Xiao Life. Ji Yuan hurriedly begged for mercy.
Ji Yuan looked up and saw Guan Jing hesitating. He was even more frightened and said quickly: "No matter what Guan Zhengshi asked me to do, I am willing to do it. I just want Guan Zhengshi to make meritorious contributions."
Guan Jing said: "Get up."
"call."
Ji Yuan let out a long sigh and then stood up.
Guan Jing flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Go back to the military camp and rectify the soldiers who brought them back. In addition, the soldiers in the city also trained me. It will take some effort to block Wang Lei."
Ji Yuan said: "Please rest assured, Chief Secretary. The last general will do his best."
"Go down."
Guan Jing beat him up and waved his hand to let Ji Yuan retreat.
In fact, to the present point, Guan Jing could not kill the generals at will. After all, there are not many people available, so it is enough to leave one and beat them up. After Ji Yuan left the hall, Guan Jing's expression became extremely serious.
The situation is too serious.
The loss of more than 20,000 soldiers was undoubtedly a step further.
Ji County's defense has added great difficulties.
"How can we strengthen our defense?"
Guan Jing's eyes were serious and he thought carefully. After pondering for a long time, Guan Jing's eyes suddenly lit up. He had an idea in his heart and ordered: "Come on, I'll tell you to see the magistrate of Ji County."
The soldiers in the government office went to pass the order. It took not long. The county magistrate came to the government office.
The county magistrate was named Lin Sheng. He was recommended by Gongsun Zan's cousin Gongsun Fan. Lin Sheng bowed and said, "The emperor paid a visit to the Guanshi. I don't know what happened to the Guanshi."
Guan Jing smiled slightly and ordered: "Mr. Lin. There are two things for you to do. Both of these things are related to the safety of Ji County and the future of Youzhou. You must deal with it yourself."
Lin Sheng said: "Please give instructions from the Chief Secretary."
Guan Jing leaned forward slightly and said in detail.
After hearing this, Lin Sheng widened his eyes and his eyes were filled with a look of horror. He said, "The first thing Guan Zhengshi can do is do it and it will not have any impact. But if the second thing is done, it will be stung by someone's backbone and by the descendants of future generations. Even if he dies, he will not be at peace."
Guan Jing said with a cold face and said lightly: "After I die, I don't care about the flood. If Ji County cannot defend it, can the savings of County Magistrate Lin be kept? At that time, the people will kill you. Don't think that the affairs you did during your tenure as the county magistrate were wiped clean. The people's eyes were all sharp. They all remembered what you committed."
Lin Sheng blinked and sighed lightly. He had to nod helplessly and answered solemnly: "Don't worry, Chief Secretary. I will definitely do it beautifully."
Guan Jing said: "Time is urgent. Go and prepare."
Lin Sheng bowed and said goodbye. When he left the government office, he looked quite as windy as Yi Shuihan.
