Chapter 757 Liu Bei takes action, Wang Xuan goes north
Yes, it is almost impossible for a master who releases his Gang Qi to get sick due to his strong body, but there is really nothing that can be done about things like heart disease.
Fortunately, after he vomited blood and fell into coma, Gongsun Zan woke up the next day. Faced with the situation of low morale and restless people, he finally managed to stabilize the situation.
However, rather than saying that he is a prince, it is better to say that he is a relatively pure general. He knows how to deal with defeats, but he is really not good at dealing with people's hearts and political aspects, and war is never that simple.
…
In Linzi, when Wang Xuan received the battle report, he was furious. He felt that his magical powers were outmatched by the sky. Although he tried his best to prevent or delay the war between Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao, the result was still the same, or in other words,
The results are worse.
At least, in normal history, since Gongsun Zan did prepare to invade Jizhou and was more fully prepared after the war began, the losses in this battle of the boundary bridge were not so great.
Regardless of whether this matter is to blame Wang Xuan or not, he still needs to clean up this mess. This has nothing to do with personal feelings. It is completely driven by interests. Try to weaken all enemies as much as possible and work hard for Liu Bei to wipe out the world as soon as possible.
Similarly, Liu Bei was also very worried about Gongsun Zan's situation. He received a lot of favors from his eldest brother Gongsun back then. Although Liu Bei is no longer prosperous, but Gongsun Zan was killed, Liu Bei must repay him.
Therefore, after communicating with Liu Bei, Wang Xuan decided to go north to see Gongsun Zan in person.
In the conference room on the seventh floor of the Government Affairs Hall, Liu Bei sat in the main seat, and Wang Xuan stood beside him and began to give orders.
"Gan Ning, launch a new ship and take the navy out to sea to test warships. The destination is Quanzhou City, Youzhou, where Gongsun Bogui built a dock. Bring plenty of salt and food on board to keep in touch with the road at all times."
"I accept your orders!" Gan Ning stood up and saluted with clasped fists.
"Guan Yu was the commander-in-chief and Xi Zhicai was the military advisor. They led 20,000 infantrymen to the north of Leling. Using Leling as the main camp, they pressed me towards Nanpi and assumed the posture of a large-scale march. Whether it was a war or a deterrent, this
I don’t care, but the requirements are: first, I must at least hold back Yuan Shao’s army of more than 30,000, and second, not to engage in a large-scale war, which will delay the construction of Qingzhou.”
"I accept your order!" Guan Yu Xi Zhi stood up and saluted with his fists clasped. After sitting down, Xi Zhi was a little eager to try. His friend is still hanging out with Yuan Shao. I wonder if he will have a chance to fight with his friend this time!
"Zhang Fei is the commander-in-chief and Liu Ye is the military advisor. He will lead 10,000 infantrymen into Licheng. Keep an eye on Cao Cao in Yanzhou to prevent him from making any small moves. Zhang Fei, I'm warning you, be honest with me when you go to Licheng.
, the task I gave you is to prevent, not to cause trouble. If you mess it up for me, you will look good when you come back. When the time comes, don’t blame me for turning against you, even Mr. Xuande won’t be able to protect you!"
In fact, Zhang Fei is really not a good candidate for defensive tasks. Huang Zhong should be chosen. However, he has just arrived and has not done enough. Even if he is excellent in martial arts, he cannot suddenly be promoted to a high position.
"Uh... don't worry Zaizhi, I, Lao Zhang, will definitely not do anything bad to you!" Zhang Fei rubbed his head in embarrassment. Wang Xuan's words were so serious that Liu Bei could only lower his head and pretend not to hear.
"Guan Hai, Sun Xia, and Zhou Cang, each of you will lead a thousand infantrymen and sneak into Taishan County. You will go from three directions to subdue the Taishan bandits as much as possible. You three do not need to come back until I have new orders.
Just maintain the status quo of Taishan County."
"I accept your order!" The three of them were a little confused by this order, and Wang Xuan did not explain it.
After arranging all the matters at home, Wang Xuan took Huang Zhong and Dian Wei directly to the north to find Gongsun Zan.
Originally, Liu Bei wanted Zhao Yun to follow him, but Wang Xuan did not agree. Zhao Yun was originally from Baima Yicong. Now Baima Yicong suffered heavy losses and Yan Gang died unexpectedly. So after Zhao Yun left, would he take over Yan Gang's position and help build the Cong?
The white horse obeys!
There is no problem in helping Gongsun Zan, but Wang Xuan will definitely not do it when Zhao Yun is hooked up. In the final analysis, the purpose of helping Gongsun Zan is to attack Yuan Shao, and one cannot put the cart before the horse.
Wang Xuan's group was not large. Apart from Huang Zhongdian and Wei, only Tian Yu, a native of Youzhou, followed them. The group of four people and twelve fast horses rushed straight to the boundary bridge almost non-stop.
It had been six days since the Battle of Jieqiao ended until Wang Xuan received the news. Every time there was a delay, Yuan Shao became stronger and Gongsun Zan became weaker.
Fortunately, although Wang Xuan did not have much practice in martial arts, he had already mastered Qi and became a gang. Tian Yu also had the skills to master Qi. The four of them continued to attack for three days and three nights, and finally arrived on the tenth day after the war.
boundary bridge.
In Ren County, inside the county government office, Gongsun Zan forced out a smile and came out to greet Wang Xuan and his party. Looking at Gongsun Zan's half-white hair, Wang Xuan didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.
In fact, Gongsun Zan was very happy. At this time, Wang Xuan came all the way to see him. At least it showed that Liu Bei was not ungrateful because he became more powerful. He was very happy to be able to come when he was the most sensitive in his heart.
After entering the inner room, Wang Xuan took off his coat and refused Gongsun Zan's proposal to serve them a drink, and said directly: "Let's get down to business first, Brother Bogui, I don't know how to say comforting words. I just came here with the same intention.
Before, Brother Bogui beat Yuan back step by step. That was because Yuan was incompetent and deserved it. But if he dares to plot against Brother Bogui, he is going against the brothers, which is absolutely unacceptable!"
Wang Xuan knew too well how to speak to a pure person like Gongsun Zan, and he directly stated that I was not here to reason. We are all brothers. If we are brothers, we will come... No, if we are brothers, we will help my brothers kill people.
"When I came, Guan Yu had been mobilized to lead 20,000 infantry troops into the Bohai Sea. As long as Brother Bogui gives the order, Xuande Gong will attack Yuan with all his strength!"
Wang Xuan's words were so beautiful that Gongsun Zan's eyes immediately turned red. How could he not know what Liu Bei was like before? Qingzhou is another bandit den, with more than three million Yellow Turban thieves. It has only been a year and a half.
How much strength can you have to pacify Qi County and resist the attacks of the surrounding Yellow Turban thieves?
You must know that the danger Qi County faces is not only the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, but also the millions of Taishan bandits in Taishan County to the west!
If we really mobilize 20,000 infantry troops into the Bohai Sea, I'm afraid our hometown of Qi County will be completely destroyed by the Yellow Turban bandits?!
The most important thing is that at this time, Liu Bei was willing to go bankrupt to support him. This kind of kindness made Gongsun Zan, who was at the lowest point in his life, dare not move.
This tough man used his strength to control his tears.
Huang Zhong and Dian Wei on the side blinked, feeling something was wrong?
But I can’t explain exactly what’s wrong. It seems like everything Wang Xuan said is true from beginning to end?
