Reborn in the Three Kingdoms

Gongsun Zan was invited to the inner hall, and the servants brought him tea, but Gongsun Zan didn't move, he kept pacing back and forth with an anxious expression on his face.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then Chen Chu walked into the inner hall accompanied by Zhou Yu and Dian Wei.

When Gongsun Zan saw it, he hurried to Chen Chu, made a rare subordinate salute, and said: "The last general pays his respects to the general."

Chen Chu was stunned for a moment, then helped Gongsun Zan up, and said with a smile, "Why is General Gongsun so polite? Please sit down."

Chen Chu sat down on the main seat, Zhou Yu sat on the left, Dian Wei stood beside Chen Chu, and Gongsun Zan sat on the right.

"General, I came to Bingzhou this time mainly for two reasons. One is to congratulate the general on his wedding, and the other is..." Gongsun Zan continued with a look of shame on his face, "The second is to ask the general for help. !"

Chen Chu and Zhou Yu exchanged glances, and then asked, "Did something happen?"

"A month ago, Goguryeo suddenly violated the frontier. I hate that someone under my command is cooperating with Goguryeo. Now Xi'an Ping has been occupied by Goguryeo!" Gongsun Zan said urgently.

Zhou Yu showed surprise, "Xi'an Ping is the necessary route connecting Liaodong County to Lelang County. Now that Xi'an Ping falls, Lelang County will be completely cut off from the Central Plains! Goguryeo's next goal should be Lelang County !"

Gongsun Zan nodded and said, "Exactly." Then he continued: "I organized an army to counterattack, but I didn't expect to fall into the trap of the Goguryeo people. My 20 main force lost nearly half, and now I have the strength to counterattack again!"

Chen Chu frowned slightly.

Gongsun Zan stood up suddenly, cupped his fists and bowed to Chen Chu, pleading, "General, please send troops to rescue Liaodong!"

Chen Chu thought for a moment, and then said: "This matter is of great importance, and I must discuss it with my subordinates before making a decision."

Gongsun Zan frowned tightly, then sighed helplessly, cupped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Chen Chu nodded, and then ordered one of the iron guards, "Take General Gongsun to stay in Tingfengyuan." The people in Tingfengyuan are generally people who have a close relationship with the Northern Army. Only a very small number of princes and dignitaries from all walks of life who came to Bingzhou to congratulate Chen Chu's wedding this time can live in Tingfengyuan.

Gongsun Zan saluted Chen Chu, then retreated with the iron guard.

Chen Chu immediately ordered: "Tell Zijing that the matter of mobilizing the Seventh Army is on hold for the time being, and ask him to go to the study immediately." "Yes." An iron guard agreed, and then left quickly.

Chen Chu stood up and took Zhou Yu and Dian Wei back to the study quickly.After a while, Lu Su also came.

"My lord, I heard that Gongsun Zan has come?" Lu Su clasped his fists and asked as soon as he entered.

Chen Chu nodded, motioned Lu Su to sit down, and said, "The matter of Liaodong seems to be very urgent. If we don't send troops to help, I'm afraid that not only Lelang County will fall into the enemy's hands, but Liaodong County will also be very dangerous!"

Lu Su and Zhou Yu frowned, but did not speak.

Chen Chu asked: "What's the situation in Goguryeo?" Although Chen Chu had heard of this name often in later generations, he was not very clear about the situation in Goguryeo in this period.

Lu Su replied: "Gaoguryeo can also be regarded as Donghu, but this Goguryeo is deeply influenced by our Han culture, so the customs and habits of Goguryeo are similar to our Central Plains." [

Chen Chu nodded. Chen Chu was not surprised by Lu Su's statement. Thinking about future generations, the so-called quintessence of the Korean peninsula was nothing more than plagiarizing Chinese things.

"How is Goguryeo's military strength?" Chen Chu asked again.

"The population of Goguryeo is not large, about 200 million people, but all of them are soldiers, and the total force may not be less than 40!"

Zhou Yu on the side couldn't help but glance at Lu Su with admiration. Although his talent was stronger than Lu Su's, he was probably inferior to Lu Su when it came to extensive knowledge.

Chen Chu frowned slightly, "Is there no more accurate information?"

Lu Su explained: "The center of gravity of our army is not in Liaodong, so we understand the situation in Liaodong.

Very limited.Why don't you invite Gongsun Zan here, he should know everything about Goguryeo very well. "

Zhou Yu immediately objected: "No, with Gongsun Zan's current situation, he will never tell the truth!"

"Our army's current situation is afraid that we can't send troops to Liaodong!" Chen Chu frowned.Although Chen Chu understood this truth, he was very unwilling in his heart. "You said, is it possible for us to temporarily let Goguryeo calm down?" Chen Chu asked, he had already settled for the next best thing.

The two thought about it, and after a while Lu Su said: "You can send envoys to Goguryeo to reprimand them severely, and at the same time warn them, if you don't stop fighting, I will recruit the Northern Army to attack with a large army!"

Chen Chu frowned slightly, and Zhou Yu questioned, "I'm afraid this effect is limited! It's hard to imagine that the Goguryeo people who have tasted the sweetness will stop fighting!"

"Gongjin, what can you do?" Chen Chu asked.

Zhou Yu frowned and said: "Limited by actual conditions, it is difficult for our army to solve this problem at present." After a pause, he continued: "Lelang County doesn't need to think about it for the time being, but we can still think of a way in Liaodong. The terrain of Liaodong is very It is suitable for cavalry to fight, we can send a cavalry to assist Gongsun Zan, and at the same time support Gongsun Zan's armor and supplies. Maybe we can still keep Liaodong."

At this time, Lu Su added: "My lord, as a general, has the right to mobilize the world's soldiers and horses. Why don't we order Liu Yu of Youzhou to send troops to Liaodong in this name?"

"Let Liu Yu send troops? Will he send troops?" Chen Chu was skeptical about this.

Zhou Yu said: "Under such circumstances, Liu Yu will definitely send troops, but Liu Yu's strength cannot be relied upon. He sent troops only for the sake of reputation. He will never send the main force to Liaodong. His sending troops is just a symbolic meaning. !"

Chen Chu nodded and said, "But talking is better than talking."

The three of them discussed in the study for a long time, and Chen Chu finally decided to send Guan Yu to lead the [-] Canglang Battalion to Liaodong, and at the same time support Gongsun Zan with armor and supplies, but there was no food, and Chen Chu was in a food shortage right now!He also sent an envoy to send an order to Liu Yu, ordering him to send troops to reinforce Liaodong.

Then Zhou Yu went to convey the relevant orders, while Lu Su went to the Tingfengyuan to inform Gongsun Zan, who was waiting anxiously, of Chen Chu's decision.

The Beibei Army decided to reinforce Liaodong, which made Gongsun Zan very happy, but then he looked worried. Chen Chu's assistance was very generous, but the reinforcements were too few.

"Mr. Lu Su, I am very grateful that the general can support armor and supplies enough for 10 people, but the reinforcements are only [-] troops, isn't it too small?" Gongsun Zan asked.

Lu Su wryly smiled and said: "My lord has already confessed. General Gongsun is not an outsider, so there is no need to hide anything from General Gongsun. Although our army now has 90 troops, we are extremely short of food and grass. For at least one year, our military forces will be mobilized on a large scale. !”[

Gongsun Zan was taken aback, "How could this be?"

Lu Su said: "During our army's Northern Expedition to Xianbei last year, the food and grass wasted too much!"

Gongsun Zan nodded suddenly. He also knew a little about the Northern Expedition of the Zhengbei Army. The Zhengbei Army had been in a stalemate with the Xianbei Army on the grassland for nearly half a year. Although the Zhengbei Army finally defeated Ke Bineng, it was a complete victory, but The loss of logistics food and grass is said to be an astronomical figure.

Gongsun Zan frowned, sighed, cupped his fists and said, "It seems that I made things difficult for the general!"

Lu Su smiled and said: "General Gongsun, don't say that, all Chinese troops have the responsibility to resist foreign humiliation! In addition, General Gongsun don't need to be too depressed, although our army's reinforcements are only [-], but the [-] are all The elite Canglang iron cavalry, and the leading general is General Guan Yu who once accompanied the lord to defeat the Karasuma people and shocked the northern land!"

Gongsun Zan couldn't help his eyes brighten up, and said happily, "Really?" Guan Yu's reputation in the Central Plains may not be very famous, but in northern Xinjiang, especially in the Northeast, Guan Yu's reputation is well-known. When the Northern Army conquered Karasuma, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Lu Bu were definitely the most dazzling stars on the battlefield.

At this moment, Gongsun Zan finally confirmed that Chen Chu was not trying to play him off, and that Chen Chu was indeed planning to rescue him as much as possible.

Liaodong, otherwise Chen Chu would never have sent the Canglang Battalion, one of the most elite soldiers of the Northern Army.

Lu Su nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Lu Su, please take me to see the General. I want to have the people of Liaodong thank the General face to face!" Gongsun Zan's tone was quite excited.

On the pebble path in the back garden, Chen Chu walked slowly, frowning slightly, he was thinking about things in Liaodong.Dian Wei followed quietly.

At this time, Guan Yu came.

"My lord." Guan Yu bowed down a few steps behind Chen Chu, looking a little excited.

Chen Chu turned around, saw Guan Yu, smiled and said, "You're here, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Lord." Guan Yu stood up.

Chen Chu continued to walk along the pebble path, with Guan Yu following beside him.

"Yun Chang already knows about Liaodong, right?"

Guan Yu clasped his fists and said loudly: "The last general will definitely assist General Gongsun to defeat the Goguryeo people!"

Chen Chu stopped, looked back at Guan Yu, and said: "I only want to tell Yun Chang one thing, protecting the people is the first priority, and guarding the soil is the second." He paused, looked at Guan Yu, and asked, "Does Yun Chang understand?" ?”

Guan Yu showed a thoughtful look on his face, and then nodded slowly.

Chen Chu turned around and continued to walk forward, saying as he walked: "If the worst happens, you won't be able to defend Liaodong County. At that time, you will do your best to protect the people and retreat to Beiping!", Chen Chu His expression was a little heavy. "Yes." Guan Yu clasped his fists in his promise, frowning tightly, completely losing the excitement just now.

Chen Chu patted Guan Yu's arm and nodded.

Guan Yu continued to walk with Chen Chu, and Chen Chu asked about the sixth and seventh armies. ! ~!
