In the Gongsun Army camp outside Yi County, the soldiers shouting reports while the cavalry rushed toward the main account.
If it is not an emergency, no one is allowed to run wildly in the military camp, which shows that the situation is urgent.
The soldiers made way for the messenger, but within a moment, the messenger had already arrived outside the main account, dismounted from his horse, and rushed in.
"General General, the Xu family's army has camped ten miles outside the city. There are thousands of tents and about 30,000 troops. The leaders are brothers Zhao Bei, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Zan, who was looking at the news coming from Bohai, raised his lips slightly and felt a little regretful in his heart.
Fortunately, news came from the Bohai Sea that Wang Pingping was leading Lü Meng and other five thousand troops to fight fiercely with his cousin Gongsun Yue. In this battle between the two armies, Wang Pingping, the commander, was not present.
Gongsun Zan didn't know whether he was overconfident or out of helplessness. He only knew that the three Zhao Bei brothers were no match for him at all.
But when I thought about going into battle in person and not being able to come to an end with Wang Pingping, I was a little disappointed.
Unexpectedly, just as he felt disappointed, the orderly soldier hurriedly took out a piece of letter paper that was pierced by an arrow from his arms and handed it over.
President Qin Qian strode forward, took the letter, and held it in front of Gongsun Zan. He secretly glanced at the words on the letter from the corner of his eye. When he saw the five words "Handwritten by Wang Pingping" at the end, his heart beat two beats faster.
But before he could read the contents of the letter carefully, Gongsun Zan had already taken the letter away.
"Tomorrow at noon, I will personally lead 30,000 Xu family troops to take your head, and then march straight in, capture Ji, and unite two states, kill Beidi, unite Ji, You, and unite three states...Wang Pingping's own handwriting!"
Gongsun Zan didn't read a word, and his face turned ugly. When he read the last five words written by Wang Pingping, his face had turned livid.
Over the past month, he took supplements and took care of himself carefully, and finally his body started to show results. He couldn't stop coughing and coughing violently.
"General, drink some water." Mr. Qin Qian hurriedly handed over the kettle, glanced at the letter suspiciously, and his face darkened.
Gongsun Zan drank two mouthfuls of water before suppressing his cough.
If you look carefully, you will find that this once-all-powerful general has a few strands of silver on his temples.
Gongsun Zan knew clearly in his heart that if the opponent was Wang Pingping, one person between him and her would eventually die in this battle.
Mr. Qin Qian was horrified and said: "Isn't Wang Pingping in Bohai County? At noon tomorrow...could it be that the news coming from Bohai is false?"
Otherwise, it would not be able to reach from Bohai County to Yixian County, Hejian County in one day and one night!
Unless Wang Pingping flies over from Bohai County!
But she has no wings, so how could she appear at noon tomorrow?
The generals nearby heard General Qin Qian's horrified words and their eyes were full of suspicion.
The general just said that Wang Pingping is still in Bohai County, and the three brothers Zhao Bei are leading the army, so there is nothing to fear.
Why did it suddenly appear that Wang Pingping was leading the army?
Gongsun Zan put down the kettle and calmed down. He waved his hand and motioned to General Qin Qian to show the war letter to the other generals.
Everyone took the letter and looked at it in person, and their expressions changed drastically, like an overturned palette, with green, purple, red, and various colors.
"This is impossible! This is definitely false news deliberately intended to confuse us!" A general denied it with certainty.
But the trembling in his words still made people feel his fear of Wang Pingping.
That woman, just saying her name can make people's hearts beat with fear.
Especially after learning that the leaders of the army were the three Zhao Bei brothers, they had just relaxed their minds, but were suddenly aroused by the news. Their hearts were racing, and they were very upset.
"Why don't you send someone out to investigate and see if Wang Pingping is in the Xu family's army?" President Qin Qian saw that Gongsun Zan looked bad and tried to suggest.
After calming down, he also tended to believe that the letter was false news deliberately released by the enemy to interfere with their judgment.
Mr. Qin Qian took over the war invitation, which even though it had holes in it, shocked the generals, pointed at the dried ink on it and analyzed it:
"General, you see, the ink has dried completely. It should have been written in advance. If Wang Pingping can really show up on time at noon tomorrow as the letter says, she should be in the Xu Jiajun barracks at this moment."
"If that's the case, why bother writing the battle message in advance? It's only reasonable that the ink should be new and not yet dry."
Gongsun Zan took a deep breath, his eyes darkened, nodded, and asked President Qin Qian to send someone out to find out the truth.
It's just that he already has a tendency in his heart.
Based on his understanding of Wang Pingping, since she can say such words, she will definitely appear at noon tomorrow!
Gongsun Zan and other counselors waited for Mr. Qin Qian to come back. Mr. Qin Qian, who had found out the news, affirmed:
"There is no trace of Wang Pingping. General, this news must be fake news sent by the enemy to confuse us!"
But Gongsun Zan still summoned all the generals overnight to re-draw the battle plan.
The generals complained about this, but due to the general's prestige in the army, they changed the original battle plan overnight.
They didn't know why the general's expression changed when he mentioned Wang Pingping. Only Gongsun Zan knew that this time, he might not be able to go home.
The next day, at dawn, the sound of drumming from the Xu family camp was heard in Gongsun's camp.
That was the sound of the rally drum used in the general mobilization before launching the army.
The two places were ten miles apart, so the sound of drums could not be heard, so Gongsun Zan sent people to investigate. Only then did they find out that Xu Jiajun had actually moved the gathering war drums to the hillside between the two army camps, and they were beating them non-stop.
"These rebels are too arrogant!" the generals couldn't help but curse.
Gongsun Zan ordered: "Qin Fang, assemble the army and fight! Let me wait for the cavalry battalion to come and kill them with their vigor!"
Mr. Qin Qian clasped his fist on one knee and responded in a deep voice: "Yes!"
After a while, the sound of gathering war drums also sounded in Gongsun's camp. The soldiers, who had already reached their best condition, quickly gathered and set up their formation outside the city, ready to fight.
Gongsun Zan glanced at the electronic watch on his wrist that he spent a lot of money to get from a merchant in Youzhou. It was eleven o'clock in the morning, half an hour before noon.
At this moment, thick smoke and dust from the galloping horses floated over from the north, accompanied by the rumble of iron hoofs, which was shocking.
Gongsun Zan put on his armor and helmet, mounted his horse, and came to the center of the military formation.
The movement in the north was getting louder and louder, but when the other party showed his figure, it was already around 11:40.
"They are coming!" Qin Fang shouted excitedly as he looked at the red flag gradually appearing on the plain to the north.
Because of yesterday's war invitation, everyone was staring closely at the generals under the flag, searching for Wang Pingping's figure.
"It's the three brothers Zhao Bei!" Qin Fang smiled clearly: "It's really a fake news..."
Before he could even say the word "breath", he heard the sudden gasps of surprise from his companions around him.
Someone pointed to the sky and asked in horror: "Look! What is that!"
