Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 185 Guan Jing's Persistence
Yuyang County in Shanggu County was guarded by Guan Jing himself, and he also knew that a big battle was imminent.

Yuyang County originally belonged to Yuyang County, but Gongsun Zan planned it to Shanggu County last year.

The purpose is to allow Guan Jing to have enough land to resist Zhang Yan.

Inside the County Wei Mansion in Yuyang County

Guan Jing sighed, he only controlled [-] white horses, but this could not establish the situation of the battle at all.

"You go to guard Yanqing County, Huailai County, and... Zhuolu County respectively!"

When the lieutenants heard about Zhuolu, their hearts trembled and they took a step back.

Zhuolu County is a county that has just been established within ten years. Although the city wall is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack, no one wants to go there to defend it.

Zhuolu County will be the first place Zhang Yan will be attacked when he invades Shanggu County, and he will easily face the enemy's strongest soldiers!

It is difficult to guard here, so naturally no one is willing to take the initiative to ask for a fight.

Tao Sheng stood up at this moment!

Although he really didn't want to face Zhang Yan, there was nothing he could do.

He is a new member of the Yellow Turban Remnant Party under Gongsun Zan's command, and he is the least likely to surrender to the Jizhou Army.

Once Gongsun Zan died, he could only find a way to escape and surrender to Gongsun Du.

If Gongsundu is also wiped out by the Jizhou army, then Tao Sheng really has nowhere to go, so he can only find a way to hide his name.

Surrender is absolutely impossible, Zhang Yan will definitely behead him without any explanation.

Therefore, Tao Sheng now has to work hard.

It is a great achievement to be able to defend Zhuolu County.

If he couldn't defend Zhuolu, Tao Sheng could find a way to escape directly and get away from Gongsun Zan.

"General Guan Jing, my subordinate Tao Yizhen is willing to lead the soldiers under his command to guard Zhuolu County!"

Tao Sheng cupped his fists, pretending to be a hero going to death, showing his bravery and loyalty.

Guan Jing was very happy to see that Tao Sheng was willing to take the initiative to guard Zhuolu County!
"Okay! Tao Yizhen has such determination, I feel at ease. That's it, General Tao Yizhen is going to guard Zhuolu County."

"The three of you are respectively guarding Shanggu County, Yanqing County, and Huailai County, forming a cornering situation."

"I will send troops to support you at any time. You must guard as much as possible! If you have the opportunity, cooperate with me to defeat Zhang Yan."

Guan Jing began to lay out a detailed strategic plan, everyone listened carefully, only Tao Sheng was distracted.

He was already planning what he would do once Gongsun Zan was defeated.

Now Tao Sheng controls the original [-] elite Yellow Turbans, plus the recruitment during this period, there are already [-] people.

Although the eight thousand elites are not as brave as the Jizhou Army, they are also comparable to the five thousand troops under Zhang Yan's command.

It's just that Tao Sheng's elite soldiers are far behind Zhang Yan in terms of the equipment and weapons of the army soldiers.

three days later

Zhang Yan led his troops to advance into Shanggu County, and directly marched towards Zhuolu County.

This is the only passage from Dai County to Shanggu County, and only by taking Zhuolu County can we gain a firm foothold.

Zhang Yan already knew who the guard of Zhuolu County was, so he wished he could storm Zhuolu County within one day!
The deputy general Wang Gou who was following Zhang Yan knew what Zhang Yan was thinking, so he rode his horse closer and said, "General, Tao Yizhen is guarding Zhuolu County, we should be more careful."

"General Zhu Ling has received news that he wants us to restrain Guan Jing's main force. It's better not to forcefully attack Zhuolu County."

Wang Gou persuaded Zhang Yan.

He knew that the general would be able to follow his advice.

Zhang Yan smiled slightly and said, "I understand what you said, and I know more about what kind of person Tao Yi really is than you do."

"My lord, let General Zhu Ling and General Lu Zhishen lead an army to attack Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan will surely die!"

"Tao Yizhen took the initiative to guard Zhuolu County because the most dangerous places are often the safest."

"Even our army will occupy the entire Shanggu County and Yuyang County after Gongsun Zan's defeat. There is no time to manage Tao Sheng."

Wang Gou nodded slightly, he understood Tao Sheng's plan, this guy was looking for an opportunity to escape.

Zhang Yan snorted coldly, and said to Wang Gou, "Once Gongsun Zan is defeated, Tao Sheng will definitely flee eastward and seek refuge with Gongsun Du."

"At that time, I will give you two thousand troops, and you will cooperate with General Zhu Ling to conquer Shanggu County and Yuyang County."

"I led [-] elites to pursue Tao Sheng. Even if I can't kill him, I will disable his troops!"

Zhang Yan clenched the spear in his hand, he wished he could see Tao Sheng's head rolling down in front of his horse right now.

Wang Gou took the order immediately.

He also knew that Tao Yi's rebellion was the biggest regret in the general's heart.

Compared to Ji County, Shanggu County is still relatively calm, after all, the war has not started yet.

Under the city of Ji County
Xu Rong and Qu Yi's army had already surrounded the entire Ji County, but they did not launch a fierce attack.

Both Xu Rong and Qu Yi were smart people, they knew that now must be the time when Gongsun Zan's soldiers were strong and their morale was strongest.

Qu Yi and Xu Rong were sitting together in the tent of the Chinese Army. Although this was Xu Rong's tent, Qu Yi and him were on equal footing.

Xu Rong asked the lieutenant in front of him, "Is there anything going on in Jixian County? If not, you guys continue to beat the drums."

After Xu Rong's deputy general heard the question, he quickly replied: "General, Gongsun Zan is still defending Ji County, and it seems that he doesn't plan to send troops to fight in the field."

Qu Yi laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "Hahaha! It doesn't matter if he comes out or not, we'll just surround him like this!"

"This guy must have asked Le Lang to start delivering food and grass to him. The food and grass in Ji County can't last for a month."

"At that time, if he wants to get food and grass, let's come to the surrounding area to fight for reinforcements and wear down his troops."

Xu Rong also nodded, he admired Qu Yi's use of troops very much, without any refutation.

Seeing that General Xu Rong agreed with Qu Yi's words, the lieutenant immediately ordered to continue the siege.

Although it was a siege, neither Xu Rong nor Qu Yi cut off the water source of Ji County, which is the basis of their work.

If it came to the point of cutting off the water source of the enemy's city, it would be too cruel and ruthless.

Moreover, both Xu Rong and Qu Yi knew that doing so would be detrimental to the lord's reputation, so naturally they would not be desperate for victory.

"Remember, you have to go to Ji County to beat the drums every day and night, and you must not let the defenders in Ji County relax their vigilance."

Xu Rong waved to the lieutenant general, telling him to step back and continue to pay attention to the situation.

Qu Yi also showed a smile, and he couldn't help thinking that Xu Rong was also ruthless.

Drums are played every day and night, obviously to force the defenders in Jixian County to pay more attention and waste their energy.

When it was time to attack the city, these defenders would not be able to exert their full strength at all.
