Yuan Tan and Gongsun Kang had a very happy conversation, and they felt that they had met at a late date.
Of course, only the two parties involved know whether this feeling comes from the heart or is perfunctory.
While the two men were talking at the city gate, the central army led by Gongsun Du and the rear army led by Gongsun Gong also arrived at Wen'an City one after another.
Later, Yuan Tan, led by Gongsun Kang, went to the main tent of the Liaodong Army to meet Gongsun Du.
For Yuan Shao's sake, Gongsun Du didn't put on any airs in front of Yuan Tan. Instead, he was as cordial as the uncle next door and chatted with Yuan Tan about everyday things.
In the end, Gongsun Du refused Yuan Tan's invitation to enter the city, and only urged him to send military supplies out of the city as soon as possible.
Yuan Tan said goodbye and left the commander's tent, and Gongsun Kang sent him to the gate of the military camp.
Out of nowhere, the relationship between the two young men suddenly heated up.
They held hands at the gate of the military camp and called each other brothers, as if they were close relatives of the same flesh and blood.
Before Yuan Shao lost Bohai County, Yuan Tan was determined not to make friends with Gongsun Kang. The two were far apart in status and were not in the same class.
What is the family background of the Yuan family in Runan?
It is no exaggeration to say that the old Yuan family is the leader of the literati group in the world.
And what kind of ghost is the Gongsun family in Liaodong? Local powerful people have always been inferior to the aristocratic families.
But now the situation is stronger than the opponent. Yuan Shao is beaten by Lin Feng to the point where he is losing ground. If he loses again, he will not even be able to keep his pants.
No matter what reason Gongsun Du leads his army to come to help, the Yuan family must accept this love.
Yuan Shao's official official position was Bohai Prefect, and Gongsun Du's position as Liaodong Prefect was also recognized by the court.
Yuan Tan and Gongsun Kang were both eldest sons of the prefect family, so it was reasonable for them to associate with each other given their equal status.
The more they chatted, the more they became more and more speculative, and finally the two made an appointment to go to Gaoyang to visit a brothel and drink wine together after the fight, and then reluctantly waved goodbye every step of the way.
Gongsun Du at the door of the handsome tent looked at Gongsun Kang and Yuan Tan chatting happily from a distance, and couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment.
He waved his hand to a soldier and quietly ordered: "There is a letter here. Do you dare to send it to the plain military camp not far away?"
The soldier knelt down on one knee without hesitation: "If you are willing to go through fire and water for the commander-in-chief, how can you be afraid of going in and out of a small plain military camp?"
Gongsun Du nodded with satisfaction, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over.
The soldier took it and put it in his arms, lowered his head and slowly retreated to the corner of the commander's tent, turned around and left quickly.
Liao Hua had already received the intelligence sent back from the detective horse. The Liaodong Army was coming with bad intentions. The area around Wen'an City was surrounded by battalions and tents. The 30,000-strong army spread out boundlessly.
Guan Hai shook his big head, and the rotten chicken coop-like bun on top of his hair had not been taken care of for who knows how long. It looked so shiny and greasy that people didn't want to touch it.
"Old Liao, why are you still hesitating? The Liaodong Army has more troops than us. If we are retreating at this time and being chased by others, it will most likely lead to the collapse of the entire army. In my opinion, it is better to fight them and pull the two families apart.
In a battle between soldiers and generals, I don't believe that we two brothers can really lose to those Liaodong soldiers?"
Liao Hua knew that Guan Hai was right, but he still hesitated a little.
If he really had to fight head-on, he believed that Huaziying, who had been trained by himself, would not lose.
But the casualties would be huge. At least half of the brothers who had followed him for several years would fall here. He couldn't bear it.
Guan Hai was so anxious that he stretched out his big hand the size of a cattail leaf fan and grabbed Liao Hua's shoulder: "I have long felt that something was wrong with you. Where did that desperate Saburo who dared to fight and fight fearlessly go? Now you, old Liao, really
Are you so afraid of death?"
The words made Liao Hua sweat drip from his vest.
Yes, since when did you become afraid to trade one's life for one's life with the enemy? Is it really because of the rise in status that you have become more protective of yourself and your life?
With a slap on the handsome case, Liao Hua stood up.
"Okay, at noon tomorrow, the entire army will march forward to fight the enemy decisively!"
Guan Hai laughed loudly: "This is the right thing! I'm going to sharpen my knife. I'm going to make a big profit tomorrow."
At this moment, a soldier reported outside the tent: "Commander, someone from the enemy army came to write a letter."
Liao Hua frowned: "Invite someone here."
Guan Hai was not interested in this, he lowered his head and muttered and went back to prepare for the fight.
Soon, a Liaodong soldier walked in with his head held high.
The soldiers on Liao's side were furious: "Where did you come from, this reckless man? How dare you not kneel down when you see my commander."
Unexpectedly, a soldier from Liaodong raised his chin high and said: "I am here to write a letter to my family's governor. Life and death have long been ignored. Soldiers can be killed but cannot be humiliated."
Several soldiers drew their swords and were stopped by Liao Hua.
"Don't be rude. Since you are here to write a letter, please bring it up quickly."
The soldiers from Liaodong presented Gongsun Du's letter, and Liao Hua took it and opened it and read it carefully.
Gongsun Du didn't mean anything else. The central idea revealed between the lines was that he didn't want to become enemies with Lin Feng, but he couldn't get enough of Yuan Shao's favor and had to come to make peace between the two families. As long as Liao Hua retreated and left the Hejian realm,
Both sides can completely avoid using swords and guns to avoid bloodshed.
After Liao Hua read it from beginning to end, he chuckled: "Gongsun Du is very good at calculating. He doesn't want to fight with my Pingyuan army until he breaks his muscles, but he also doesn't want to give up the benefits of Yuan Shao's promise. Just with this piece of paper
When writing letters, I try to please him on both sides, and I want to take advantage of him without any effort."
Hearing Liao Hua's words that insulted Gongsun Du, Liaodong soldiers' expressions changed and they wanted to rebel. Thinking carefully about being in the enemy's camp, they suppressed their anger and asked in a low voice: "General, since you have already seen my wife."
If there is no reply to the letter from the governor, I will leave now so that I can return to the camp as soon as possible to report to the governor."
Liao Hualue pondered: "Go back and tell Gongsun Du that the two armies will fight at noon tomorrow. If he really doesn't want to be the enemy of the Pingyuan Army, he can retreat at the border and the two sides will be safe. If he is stubborn and refuses to retreat, then he will fight on the battlefield.
The difference between superiority and inferiority is the difference between life and death."
The soldier from Liaodong lowered his head and remembered everything Liao Hua said in his heart. Then he turned around and strode away without replying.
Liao Hua looked at the backs of the Liaodong soldiers and laughed dumbly: "It turns out that there are heroes in Liaodong who are not afraid of life and death. In this case, I will have a good meeting with the Liaodong governor tomorrow."
In the early morning of the next day, after breakfast, all the soldiers in Huazi Camp prepared dry food, filled their water bags, and got ready to fight with the Liaodong Army.
Liao Hua decided to fight the enemy at noon today. He would definitely not have time to have lunch then. If he did not prepare food and water, he would have to fight the enemy hungry. If he died on the battlefield, he would not even be full before he died.
, isn’t that too tragic?
Guan Hai went to bed early last night and was waiting for the battle with the Liaodong army today.
Siege warfare and ambush warfare are not fun for a fool.
What he likes most is the one-on-one duel between generals. When he encounters a good opponent with good skills, he can fight with them all day and all night without feeling tired.
The second is that the two armies set up their chariots and horses for a field battle. He likes the most when cutting leeks and brutalizing vegetables and marching to the enemy camp. The exhilaration of seeing blood with one knife after another is the perfect moment for a man to prove that he is good.
.
The three armies tidied up their forces, set up camp in the sky with cannons and cannons, and marched towards the Liaodong Army's garrison in fractal formations with overwhelming might.
Gongsun Du had already heard the story of the soldiers who had replied to the letter.
In his opinion, Liao Hua was just talking nonsense to save face.
Huaziying's 15,000 soldiers and horses were no match for the 30,000 Liaodong army, but don't forget that there are more than 10,000 Yuan Tan's horses in Wen'an City.
If Liao Hua really dares to lead his army to attack, if he and the Liaodong Army fall into a tug-of-war and Yuan Tan suddenly opens the city and attacks the Liaodong Army from both sides, Huaziying will definitely be defeated.
Therefore, Huaziying could either hold the camp tightly and wait for reinforcements, or withdraw its troops overnight. There was no second option.
Therefore, when Gongsun Du heard the report of the spying horse, the whole Huaziying army marched forward, and it was expected that they would reach the attack position against the Liaodong army in three quarters.
Gongsun Du blinked and smiled.
Lin Feng was still too young, and his subordinates were all young boys, so he couldn't stand the anger. He didn't expect that Huaziying would really choose to fight.
Well, it’s time to teach these little kids a lesson and let them know what is ginger or old and spicy.
"Come here, tell the three armies to get ready and prepare for contact battle with the Plain Army at any time!"
Following Gongsun Du's order, the 30,000 Liaodong army also entered a state of war.
