Chapter 310 This must be Gongsun Zan's plan, I'll fight him! [6k characters ask for subscription and ask for monthly pass]

This soldier obviously also went to the top of the city.

So Yuan Shao asked.

He had already carefully recalled it.

"Reporting to Fujun, this man who calls himself Liu Xuande, his arms seem to be a little different from ordinary people, sitting on the horse's back can reach the horse's belly, and his ears are a bit big, but he looks upright, using two long swords as weapons."

"Besides him, there are two strong men on his left and right. One has a leopard head and eyes around him. He has a ferocious face and looks a little dark."

"The other person has a jujube-like face and a tall body. The most conspicuous thing is that he has a long beard that reaches to the chest and abdomen. Anyone who sees it will never forget it."

When you hear this.

Yuan Shao has already made a point.

Those were the three brothers who came to attack the county under his name, namely Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Just like the soldiers said.

These three people are very distinctive, but anyone who has seen them and has a certain impression, it is difficult to forget their appearance and characteristics.

At the time when the princes of Xingyang County were in the alliance.

Through Cao Ang's introduction, Yuan Shao got to know these three brothers, and then had a chance encounter with them during the talks in Nangong County.

So remember it clearly.

Liu Bei has big ears reaching to his shoulders, Guan Yu has a long beard reaching to his belly, and Zhang Fei has dark and rough skin with a fierce face.

It would be difficult for anyone to impersonate any of the three brothers, let alone form a group to impersonate, so the use of false names can be ruled out.

In other words.

Those who led the troops to attack the city under his command were indeed Liu Guanzhang and the three of them!
……

Think about it here.

Yuan Shao was instantly enraged.

"what!!!"

"Snapped!"

There was a loud crisp sound.

The rice bowl that Yuan Shao had been holding in his left hand was slapped heavily on the table by him. The hard wood lacquerware made the sound of colliding with the table.

Suddenly everyone was shocked.

"Liu Bei is a common man, where did he get the courage to attack the city under my rule?"

Yuan Shao's anger did not come from the surprise attack on the city under his command.

In the final analysis, the problem lies in the fact that Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were the ones who attacked the city.

Liu Bei's status is not high, currently he is only the county magistrate of a county. Although this county is the county seat of Pingyuan County, it is nothing compared to him Yuan Shao.

Whether it is official position, family background, or the current strength, there is a huge gap between Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao, who has countless ministers and military generals under his command.

Such people jump out and challenge themselves.

In Yuan Shao's view, it was intolerable.

And more importantly.

In addition to the above identities, Liu Bei is just a small follower under Gongsun Zan's hands, and he has not even been able to sneak into the power center of Gongsun's forces.

It's just been hanging around on the fringe of the middle and bottom all the time. If such a person dares to act recklessly and bring soldiers and horses to attack him, isn't that against the heavens?
His opponent is Gongsun Zan.

If Gongsun Zan raised the banner and said that he wanted to attack him, Yuan Shao would only put up all his energy and stand up for the battle seriously.

But a small character under Gongsun Zan dared to show such a banner. Isn't this slapping him in the face, isn't this trampling his face fiercely?

So Yuan Shao couldn't bear it!

……

"What a good Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, relying on the fact that he has thousands of people under his command, he dares to act recklessly and ignores me. He already has a way to seek death!"

"Immediately order to mobilize the army and prepare to go south to repair the county. If Liu Xuande dares to use 2000 people to attack the city guarded by 200 people, then I will use 2 people to test his quality of 2000 people!"

"When my army arrives at Xiu County, it would be the best if he is nearby. If I return to Pingyuan County, then I will fight all the way to Pingyuan. If I don't attack and defeat him, how can I eliminate him?" Hatred in my heart?!"

Yuan Shao is ready to fight Liu Bei to the end.

The three brothers must be disabled.

It's just that he just gave the order.

Xun Chen on the side had already stood up, his face was full of thoughts, as if he had thought of something, then bowed slightly to Yuan Shao, dissuading him.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate has an idea. It is not a matter of a day or two since Liu Bei was appointed as the magistrate of Pingyuan County. If he has the intention to provoke us, he will definitely not be able to bear it until now."

"Besides, a mere repair county is located in a remote area, and its population ranks at the bottom among the counties in Bohai County. Even if it is captured by them, it will not be a big loss to our army."

"All the hard work is just to make us lose face. It has no effect on the essence. On the contrary, it may incur a blow to the top of our army. Why bother?"

Having said that, Xun Chen paused for a while.

Then he said meaningfully.

"That's why my subordinates suspect that Liu Xuande's move was instigated by someone behind his back."

……

Yuan Shao is a smart man.

At this moment, Xun Chen was the only staff member beside him.

His decision-making and judgment abilities are at the highest level, so it's all right.

He reacted instantly.

Immediately his eyes widened, and he asked with some surprise: "This Liu Bei belongs to Gongsun Zan. If anyone can order him, it will only be Gongsun Zan, so it is that barbarian who is making tricks?"

Xun Chen nodded without hesitation.

Then he will explain his own analysis.

"After the peace talks in Nangong County, Gongsun Zan withdrew to the north, and the people under him naturally disappeared. When the news came again, this Liu Bei and Liu Xuande had already become the county magistrate of Pingyuan County."

"Considering that Gongsun Zan once appointed his general Tian Kai as the governor of Qingzhou, this shows that he has plans for Qingzhou, so it is natural to send Liu Bei to Pingyuan County in advance as a vanguard tower. A useful move."

"Liu Bei has never broken contact with Gongsun Zan, and it is very likely that he has been secretly receiving orders from the north. Therefore, this sudden attack on Xiuxian county is probably because of Gongsun Zan's orders behind his back!"

Xun Chen made such an analysis.

It can be said that Yuan Shao was enlightened.

His thoughts instantly became clear and clear.

"Youruo's words are very reasonable, so it makes sense, and everything is not surprising!"

"Liu Bei is a mediocre man, and he has the courage to act recklessly, all because of Gongsun Zan's instigation!"

It seems that he has figured out who is against him.

Yuan Shao's originally angry heart quickly became calm, and his emotions slowly recovered.

Putting the chopsticks in his right hand on the table, he didn't care about the food that he put upside down on the table, instead he got up and started pacing around.

"You Ruo, you said that Gongsun Zan did this, what is his purpose, what is his purpose?"

"If you want to say that he is just harassing our army and disrupting our army's territory, there is no need to spend so much effort, and he won't get much benefit."

"So he must have other plans!"

After Yuan Shao walked around on the spot for a few times, his complexion suddenly changed when he thought of such a possibility, and then expressed his doubts in his heart.

Ask Xun Chen for advice.

…………

Xun Chen was just about to say something.

However, remembering that besides himself and Yuan Shao, there was one other person present, he immediately waved his hand behind him, sending out the soldiers who came to deliver the letter.

Just now he cupped his hands and said to Yuan Shao.

"My lord, I dare not say what Gongsun Zan's purpose is. After all, our army has not received any relevant information, but we can boldly infer it."

"He ordered Liu Bei to attack the south of our Bohai County from the direction of Pingyuan County to the north. Could this be a trick to deceive people and draw our attention to the south?"

Listen to Xun Chen's analysis.

Yuan Shao couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

There was a faint flash of inspiration in his mind, but the light disappeared in a flash, and he failed to catch it.

After stroking his beard with his hands, Yuan Shao shook his head, and immediately continued to ask questions.

"What kind of concealment method?"

After bowing slightly, Xun Chen quickly walked to the map hanging in the house, then clicked on Youzhou and other places north of Bohai County with his left hand, and drew a line from Xiuxian County with his right hand all the way to Pingyuan County.

"Liu Bei's army is small and insignificant, and it is useless to the overall situation. Even if he upsets the sky in the south, he can't affect our army in the slightest, but there is one thing he can do enough, and that is to make you angry!"

"Please forgive me for your offensive words. You just heard that Liu Bei led his troops to attack the county seat, and you were already extremely angry. You want to order [-] troops to attack Liu Bei."

"Although our army has many soldiers and generals, the entire [-] army still accounts for a very important part of our army's regulations. If we move this army southward, it will definitely leave the central army empty."

Speaking of it.

Xun Chen nodded heavily at Pingyuan County.

With a serious face, he said in a solemn voice.

"Once Liu Bei withdraws his troops from Bohai County and returns to the plains before you send troops to encircle and suppress them, then if you want to wipe them out, you have to enter the Qingzhou area, so it will take a long time."

"If Liu Bei knows that he is invincible and continues to lead his troops to flee south, then with your fury, Lord Fu, you will definitely continue to pursue them. This means that an army of up to [-] people will always be restrained in a place far away from Nanpi County. place."

"If it is normal, it will be fine, but if there is a change in the north, it will be a disaster!"

…………

Following Xun Chen's unraveling, he analyzed layer by layer.

Yuan Shao was thoughtful from the very beginning.

Later, I suddenly realized.

Then the whole person fell into shock and horror!

He thought about his performance just now, and it seemed that Xun Chen had predicted everything.

It is foreseeable that once he dispatches tens of thousands of troops south to attack Liu Bei according to his original plan, an elephant will step on ants.

Then, as long as Liu Bei keeps running and provokes him from time to time on the road, he will get angry and be dragged around all the time.

This will also result in a reduction of [-] troops in the base camp.

Even if Yuan Shao is strong, such a large force would still account for [-]% to [-]% of his total number of troops. In addition, the people under his command now would be in charge of the entire Bohai Sea and half of the Hejian, and the proportion would go straight to half.

Then it is just as Xun Chen said.

Once Gongsun Zan took advantage of this moment to make troubles, his own combat strength would be inferior to his own, and he would be at a disadvantage in an instant, and would be pressed to the ground and crushed severely.

It is even possible that Yuan Shao's troops had suffered several defeats before the army from the south came back, and they might lose their qualifications for Jizhou completely because of this.

thought here.

Yuan Shao couldn't help feeling a little shuddering.

He didn't expect Gongsun Zan to be so sinister!

…………

"What a Gongsun Bogui, what a White Horse General, who is so vicious and sinister, trying to use a little Liu Bei to contain our army's strength."

"Fortunately, Youruo, you have seen through his scheme with your discerning eyes, and told him to be futile. Otherwise, if I didn't notice for a while, I would have really fallen into his scheme."

He could hear the fear in Yuan Shaona's words, as well as the faint praise for himself.

After Xun Chen bowed slightly.

Full of humility, he smiled and said: "Your Majesty was only angered by Liu Xuande, and his mood was unstable for a while, so he lost his judgment."

"Even if you don't say anything, you will be able to think clearly after you calm down."

The self-effacing rhetoric was ignored.

Yuan Shao just pondered for a while.

His eyes flickered, and he sighed meaningfully: "Since Gongsun Zan has set up such a scheme, he must have been prepared. It seems that he intends to start a war with our army again, and he will fight with me to determine the outcome."

In response, Xun Chen nodded slightly.

Following Yuan Shao's example, he turned his gaze to the north. Although he was blocked by the courtyard wall and couldn't see anything, his gaze seemed to pass through everything, and he saw Gongsun Zan who was preparing for war in the north.

"What the Fujun said is that if the expectations of the subordinates are correct, Gongsun Zan should have already mobilized troops and horses at this moment. As long as Liu Bei's side succeeds, he will immediately lead his troops south and go straight to our army's headquarters."

"After all, during the several months of the truce, both of us have been recuperating, and Gongsun Zan's recuperating speed is far behind ours. If it continues to drag on, his chances of winning will only get smaller and smaller."

"So now that Cao Zixiu is in Yuzhou and has no time to take care of the affairs of Jizhou, it makes sense for him to use his already strong military front and make a little trick."

……

For the above analysis.

Yuan Shao was deeply convinced.

The reason why he and Gongsun Zan's two families have been able to live in peace for nearly half a year is entirely due to the balance between each other.

But balance is meant to be broken.

The fighting power in the north is strong, but the comprehensive strength of my own side is higher, and the resilience is quite amazing.

As long as Gongsun Zan takes a breather and confirms that Cao Ang, the Yuan family's helper, will not intervene, then he has the capital to make a quick decision.

On the other hand, look at Yuan Shao.

As long as he continues to procrastinate, relying on his fame and background, his strength will only become stronger and stronger. After a certain period of time, it will be enough to procrastinate Gongsun Zan to death.

As long as Gongsun is cool.

The master of the entire land of Jizhou has been determined, and no one can compete with himself.

Presumably, Gongsun Zan also understood these truths clearly, so he resorted to such a set of tactics in an attempt to divide himself up and win the battle.

Think about it here.

Yuan Shao immediately sneered.

"His plan has been broken for me, and it will be difficult to make it work. But since he wants to fight, then I will fight with him and let him know that relying on these ghostly tricks is useless!"

"Give me an order. The three armies, big and small, will prepare for battle immediately. First, send a vanguard to advance to the northwest. Be sure to block Gongsun Zan's southward path."

"As for Liu Xuande, it is enough to send a general to lead 5000 people south to attack."

"If I want Gongsun Zan, I can't get any benefits, and I have to lose Liu Bei's army!"

…………

Under Yuan Shao's emergency military order.

The troops surrounding Nanpi County and surrounding counties immediately mobilized.

Except for a part of the troops who stayed behind and stationed in the base camp, the rest all advanced to the north, and successively deployed and garrisoned several cities along the way.

And Gongsun Zan was recuperating in the northern part of Hejian and the southernmost area of ​​Youzhou.

Seeing Yuan Shaojun's actions like this.

He thought Yuan Shao was going to fight himself.

Although I didn't understand why Yuan Shaojun, who was weak in combat power and could keep the rules in the past, now took the initiative to start a war with himself as if he was in a daze.

But since the enemy reacted.

Then you have to deal with it yourself.

Immediately, they also led the troops southward without hesitation. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers, including Youzhou cavalry, immediately turned into a prairie fire, advancing all the way to the center line.

Gongsun Jun and Yuan Jun formed a confrontation in the north-central region.

Neither side is willing to give in, and the war is about to break out, and the two sides don't explain their motives for pushing the line of troops so far, let alone what the other side is saying.

Just send people to shout and scold in front of the battle every day.

But they all kept restraint for various reasons.

It's just that if this trend continues and the friction continues to heat up, the flames of war are likely to really ignite, turning into a huge war with more than [-] troops invested by both sides.

And at the same time.

Yuan Shao sent to the south to relieve the danger of being trapped in Xiu County, and along the way wiped out Liu Bei's army and captured Liu Bei's 5000-man army alive.

But it came back without success.

Because when they led their troops to Xiu County.

Only then did I learn that Liu Guanzhang's troops, who had been besieging the city for three or four days and stopped whenever they were about to break through the city, had already withdrawn from the border of Xiu County.

Perhaps they have all returned to Pingyuan County.

According to Yuan Shao's original intention, Liu Bei would be smashed to death after chasing him to the ends of the earth.

It's just that now that the war in the north is about to break out, if we can add [-] new troops, it is likely to rewrite the situation of the war, and we can be more sure of winning.

That's why it's like this.

There is no need for the army to continue chasing.

After confirming that Xiu County had not suffered any losses, and instructing Yuan Zhen, the county magistrate, to remain vigilant for a period of time to hoard supplies for defending the city and not to take it lightly, the army immediately turned around and headed north.

…………

Turn back the time to the day when Liu Beijun withdrew.

Located twenty miles southeast of Xiu County, the army camped here.

At the camp of the Chinese army, the handsome flag fluttered high, and the large characters embroidered on the flag had quietly changed from "Liu" to "Cao".

At the moment in the tent.

The three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang gathered together. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei squinted their eyes, and the other widened their eyes. They sat beside Liu Bei like two door gods.

Outside the camp are soldiers and soldiers.

"General, the villain has already sent people to investigate, and there are no spies from Xiu County around. Our army has disappeared."

"However, for the sake of safety, a few groups of people were arranged to cruise around in case of emergencies and to be able to respond."

And as the voice of the soldier fell.

An order came from the tent immediately.

"Okay, well done!"

"But do one more thing. After changing the flag, ask the soldiers to change their clothes and erase all traces of the past!"

……

After the soldiers were ordered to leave.

Liu, Guan and Zhang looked at each other a few times.

Then there was a sudden burst of laughter, this hearty laughter spread throughout the entire camp of the Chinese army, and even the tent trembled a little from the shock.

After laughing out loud like this for a while.

The three barely calmed down.

"Second brother and third brother, wash your face!"

Following Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately poured water on their bodies and faces in front of the buckets that had been prepared.

And take advantage of this time.

"Liu Bei", who was in the dominant position, came to "Guan Yu" and "Zhang Fei", and slapped them both hard on the back without politeness.

next second.

Something extremely mysterious happened.

"dart out!"

From the faces and bodies of Guan and Zhang, a large amount of dust of various colors collapsed in an instant, like colored powder sprinkled in mid-air.

When it fell to the ground, there was a rustling sound of dust, and the scene was extremely strange.

And most surprising.

It is after the dust falls.

Guan and Zhang quickly revealed their original figure and appearance, revealing their true identities hidden under the disguise.

It is Dian Wei and Xu Chu!

From start to finish.

Those two mighty men who followed "Liu Bei" and yelled outside the gate of Xiu County, and their voices shook the heavens, were actually disguised by Cao Ang's left and right bodyguards.

And infer from this.

The person who plays Liu Bei.

Naturally, it is not surprising that it is Cao Ang himself!

"Zhongkang, just give me a pat on the shoulder!"
