Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 139 Encircling and Suppressing Gongsun Zan ([-])

Returning to Fanyang City from Gu'an County, Han Wu and Hua Mulan changed their clothes and ate at a small restaurant in the city.

This is the place where the noble children in Fanyang City have the money to enjoy the food, and now the whole place is reserved by Han Wu.

The bloodthirsty tiger guards guarded the restaurant inside and out, and no one was allowed to enter. Only Han Wu and Hua Mulan enjoyed the singing, dancing and delicacies in the private room.

Dian Wei, Lu Zhishen, Zhu Ling and Qu Yi Xu Rong were all waiting outside the room, waiting for the lord to call them in one by one.

Guo Jia was the first person to be called in. He already knew that the young master must let himself report the situation first.

While enjoying the singing and dancing, Han Wu asked, "Feng Xiao, you really are a ghost, and you were able to guess my route back."

"I went all the way north and went deep into Youzhou. I avoided all the pursuers in the mountains and forests, and escaped back in a dark place under the lights. I didn't expect you to be able to guess it."

"Fortunately, you are my adviser. If Gongsun Zan has such a smart person under his command, I'm afraid I will lose my life in the mountains."

When Guo Jia heard the lord's commendation, he quickly bowed and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Guo Jia said: "Young Master's description of 'dark under the lamp' is really appropriate. From the mountains and forests all the way to the north into Youzhou, then turn west and bypass Zhuojun to the south, it is indeed Gongsun Zan's dark route under the lamp."

It was completely flattering Han Wu, because Guo Jia knew that once the lord praised him, he would start to criticize him.

Sure enough, Han Wu put his chopsticks aside, showed a serious expression, and said, "Let's discuss the matter as it stands. This battle has put me in danger."

"As my counselor, you didn't predict the enemy's strategy in advance. It is understandable if your ability is limited, but I don't think you can't guess this."

"Dianwei! Lu Zhishen! Get the hell out of here too! Guo Jia, you continue to stand there, I want to see how brave you three are."

After Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen outside the house heard Han Wu's voice, they walked in immediately.

These two fierce generals also know that they have done it. After all, it is their task to protect the young master, but they put the young master in danger.

After Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen entered the room, they knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to the lord.

However, Han Wu didn't care about their failure to protect him. Instead, he asked, "Come on, Lu Zhishen, two nights before the battle with Gongsun Zan, you got drunk in the wine shop."

"Although I knew about this matter, I didn't deal with you before the war. I have established military regulations, and you will be fined thirty sticks according to the military regulations."

"But then I want to ask, when you are drinking, shouldn't the two of you drink together? Is the third person drinking secretly, Guo Fengxiao?"

Hearing the lord's interrogation, Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen looked up at Guo Jia, and then nodded.

Guo Jia also swallowed.

He did drink secretly a few days ago, and because of this, he got very drunk and failed to calculate Gongsun Zan's strategy well.

Drinking alcohol privately in the army is a taboo, and Han Wu has clear military regulations, and all soldiers know this.

Sitting next to Han Wu, Hua Mulan stared at Guo Jia with disgust, obviously disgusted by Guo Jia's behavior of drinking and messing things up.

It's not that Guo Jia was drunk and caused her and the son to suffer in the mountains, but Hua Mulan believed that Guo Jia's behavior had affected Han Wu.

If Guo Jia hadn't been drunk, then with his ability, he would have been able to predict in advance that Gongsun Zan would send elite cavalry to attack.

If Guo Jia hadn't been drunk, Han Wu wouldn't have been injured by arrow feathers in his arm, and he hasn't recovered yet.

Guo Jia suddenly smiled awkwardly. He didn't know what to say, but just lowered his head slightly: "Master, Guo Jia is indeed greedy, and he should be punished."

Although he was a little afraid of being fined thirty sticks, Guo Jia also understood that the military order was strict and he could not take the lead in violating it.

Seeing that Guo Jia had admitted his mistake, Han Wu didn't want to worry about it anymore, and said, "Humph! I think you are a scribe, and your physique is no better than that of a general, so you won't be punished with a cane."

"One year's salary is your punishment. As for Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen, you are strong, and you will be fined thirty sticks each. You will receive the punishment tomorrow in front of everyone in the Bloodthirsty Tiger Guard!"

After hearing the lord's words, Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen both shouted to accept the order, without any dissatisfaction in their hearts.

To Lu Zhishen and Dian Wei, the [-] stick punishment was nothing at all, it could only beat them to the point where they were bruised and swollen.

But punishing the two of them in front of all the bloodthirsty tiger guards was the biggest warning to them, and it made them lose face.

Han Wu is also using Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen to warn all the bloodthirsty tiger guards what is the punishment for drinking during the march.

"Okay, you all go down! Let Zhu Ling, Qu Yi, and Xu Rong come in, and the three of you go down to have a drink! This place is reserved by me, and it's not a wartime now, just treat it as a tribute to you who defeated Gongsun Zan's army earlier. award."

He waved his hands at Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen, Han Wu was clear about rewards and punishments, and allowed Dian Wei and Lu Zhishen to go downstairs for a drink.

The two drunken generals immediately showed smirks, and they suddenly felt that thirty sticks was nothing.

The three of them exited the room, and at the same time, the three of Qu Yi walked in, ready to report the situation to the lord.

Zhu Ling took the lead to say: "My lord, in the previous battle, the Jizhou Army can be said to have won a complete victory, beheading more than 3000 people from the Youzhou Army."

"The number of captives was no more than three hundred, more than ten horses were captured, and more than 100 Youzhou soldiers were beheaded."

"The Jizhou Central Army lost more than 100 troops, of which more than [-] were killed, more than [-] were seriously injured, and dozens of others were slightly injured."

After hearing Zhu Ling's report, Han Wu nodded slightly, very satisfied with the result.

The losses of Qu Yi and Xu Rong are also included, but their strength belongs to their own recruitment, and the dead and wounded soldiers can be replenished by themselves.

Qu Yi frowned slightly, and said, "My lord, Gongsun Zan has retreated to the city of Zhuojun and hasn't sent troops for several days."

"Their losses were severe. In addition to Gongsun Zan's previous losses in the battle with the alien races in the north, his vitality has been seriously injured."

"If we can divide our troops to attack Dai Commandery, Shanggu Commandery and Guangyang Commandery now, we can encircle Gongsun Zan's army in Zhuo Commandery."

"At that time, as long as the lord is willing to consume more troops, he can directly wipe out Gongsun Zan's main force. After that, within half a year, Youzhou will be conquered!"

Han Wu squinted his eyes and listened to Qu Yi finish his strategy, then took a deep breath and nodded slightly.

Han Wu picked up his chopsticks and ate a piece of beef. He chewed and said, "Then according to your plan, how much troops will Jizhou lose before you can take Youzhou?"

Qu Yi swallowed his saliva, and replied: "My lord, in addition to the previous consumption, the Jizhou army still needs to consume [-] troops to take down the entire Youzhou!"

Hearing the loss of [-] troops, Han Wu's heart trembled suddenly, feeling that the loss was too great.

With a loss of 1 troops, [-] families and wives would be scattered. Han Wu didn't want to have such a huge consumption.

However, Qu Yi's strategy is indeed very good. After thinking about it, Han Wu said, "Just as you said, divide up the troops to attack Dai Commandery, Shanggu Commandery and Guangyang Commandery."

"Zhang Yan's troops have been stationed in Daijun all along, just ask him to send troops to attack Daijun again."

"Guangyang County doesn't have many troops, but I hope to take it directly, so I will let Lu Zhishen lead the troops there."

"As for Shanggu County, it goes deep into the rear of Gongsun Zan's main force. I don't trust the others, so I'll let Qu Yi go there in person."

"But in the future, I don't want to directly wipe out Gongsun Zan. It is enough to defeat his main force and let him escape back to Yuyang."

Han Wu squinted his eyes to make sure he answered, and at the same time said to Qu Yi, and let Zhu Ling remember his deployment.

Qu Yi nodded lightly after hearing what the lord said, thinking: "My lord, this is to reduce the consumption of troops. It seems that he is not cruel enough."

"Although he is wiser, he is not ruthless enough. But he is still young, and I'm afraid he will be able to understand the cruelty and benefits of war in a few years."

Qu Yi and the others left the room, leaving Han Wu and Hua Mulan to continue enjoying food, singing and dancing, leisurely.
