Chapter 227
A few days passed quietly, and the sky of Jizhou had changed color quietly.
On this ancient land, Yuan Shao's flag was hanging high like the scorching sun, announcing his full control over Jizhou.
In a tent, the lights flickered, reflecting some of the joy and pride after the war.
At this moment, Ju Yi sat firmly in the main seat, surrounded by his brothers who shared life and death. The aroma of wine was overflowing on the table, they clinked their glasses, and the laughter penetrated every corner of the tent, as if even the night was infected by the joy of victory.
"Hahaha! Han Fu, that cowardly guy, didn't expect to give up the entire Jizhou like this."
"I didn't follow this man at the beginning because he couldn't do anything big!"
"Now we can all join General Yuan's army, and we all perform well for me."
Everyone nodded when they heard it.
Ju Wu said:
"Gongsun Zan is about to attack Jizhou now. Shouldn't we prepare early?"
Ju Yi nodded.
"Well, Gongsun Zan has basically integrated most of Youzhou now, but it is a cold and bitter borderland after all."
"He, Gongsun Bogui, is not as good at appointing people as Liu Yao is at managing Bingzhou. If he annexed Jizhou, he would not have to worry about money and food."
...
A week passed quietly, near Jie Bridge.
At this time, in the cold wind, Gongsun Zan's eyes were like torches. He threw Liu Yao's letter full of advice and admonitions, dancing in the cold wind for a few circles, and finally lying quietly on the cold ground.
"It's the same old cliché again, asking me to postpone the conquest of Jizhou!
"Humph! Ziyi now occupies two states and holds Chang'an. Of course, he doesn't have to worry about money and food. "
I, Gongsun Zan, am in the bitter cold land of Youzhou. If I don't take advantage of the unstable foundation of Yuan Shao and fight hard to seize some of the world, it will be very difficult to make progress when the Yuan family's power is deeply rooted?"
As long as he can seize some counties in Jizhou, he can expand his military equipment without being restricted by money.
Gongsun Zan was immersed in the grand blueprint of planning to conspire with Liu Yao to rule the world. His thoughts were surging like the tide. Suddenly, he heard the scouts in front of him rushing over, dusty and bringing an eye-catching news.
"General! Our army found Yuan Shao's army in array five miles away."
Gongsun Zan's eyes were stern, and he smiled faintly, but his tone could not hide the coldness: "Yuan Shao is decisive, but also arrogant. He does not rely on the solid city walls, but wants to fight our army in the wilderness, and compete with our elite cavalry. This is like hitting a rock with an egg, and it is humiliating."
In his words, there is contempt for Yuan Shao's underestimation of the enemy, and also reveals his infinite confidence in his cavalry.
Those cavalry were tempered in the wind and frost outside the Great Wall, and fought countless bloody battles with foreign races. Their bravery and fearlessness have long been famous. In the past, outside the city of Luoyang, Yuan Shao's army was like a dead leaf meeting the autumn wind, and it collapsed at the touch. Today, the outcome of the battle is self-evident.
The scout reported again, his voice was a bit solemn: "Their army is about 40,000 in total, and most of them are infantry."
Gongsun Zan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and his laughter was full of heroism and unruliness.
"Hahaha, if you don't take what God gives you, you will suffer the consequences! Today, I, Gongsun Zan, will formally ask Yuan Benchu for the land of Jizhou! If he knows what's good for him, he will give it to me; if he doesn't, my Youzhou Iron Cavalry will let him see what it means to be as powerful as thunder and as unstoppable as a bamboo, and to attack Huanglong directly!"
After speaking, he waved his whip violently, and the army moved with it, like a black torrent, sweeping towards Yuan Shao unstoppably.
When the two sides were several hundred meters apart, the world seemed to freeze, and only the panting of war horses and the slight collision of armor echoed in the silence. The air was filled with strong fighting spirit and tension, and a storm was about to rage on this land.
Gongsun Zan rode out alone and stood in front of the two armies, his posture was upright, like a god of war. His eyes were like torches, looking directly at Yuan Shao, and his voice resounded through the sky.
"Yuan Benchu, you claim to be the descendant of three dukes for four generations, but you act so dirty, bully Han Fu's kindness, and steal the land of Jizhou. Today is the time for you to pay back!"
Yuan Shao sat on the gorgeously decorated chariot, his eyes were like torches, piercing through the heavy war clouds, and locked on the figure of the enemy's main general Gongsun Zan.
The surrounding noise and blood seemed to be isolated from him, only the calmness and depth of winning thousands of miles away were particularly dazzling on the battlefield.
Feng Ji stood beside Yuan Shao, bowed lightly with both hands, and his tone was full of unquestionable firmness.
"My lord, our army and Gongsun Zan are on the verge of a fight and have no choice but to launch it. You are the leader of the three armies, so you don't need to take risks yourself. Just give an order and thousands of cavalry will crush all obstacles."
"If you can use this good opportunityIt would be best if we could seize the opportunity to annihilate Gongsun Zan in one fell swoop; even if we can only severely damage his momentum, we can also win a precious breathing space for our army. In time, Gongsun Zan and his ilk will no longer be a threat. "
Yuan Shao heard this, a smile of approval appeared on his lips, he nodded slightly, and a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.
He slowly stood up, his posture was upright, like an unshakable mountain, then he gently stretched out his right hand, and the sword inlaid with gems on his waist came out, the cold light reflected his resolute face.
"Where is Ju Yi!" Yuan Shao's voice penetrated the noise of the battlefield, clear and powerful, like thunder, shocking people's hearts.
"I order you to lead your elite troops to take Gongsun Zan's head! This battle is a key step for us to conquer the Central Plains and unify the world. We must go all out and leave no room for maneuver!"
"Yes! "
Ju Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of heat. This was the world-famous Gongsun Zan. Now he could finally fight him.
In this battle, Yan Liang led the halberd soldiers, while Ju Yi personally led the front-line soldiers, ready to completely defeat Gongsun Zan here.
He chose this place on purpose.
Ju Yi immediately led 800 elite soldiers as the vanguard, with thousands of strong crossbows as cover, and he led tens of thousands of infantry in the back.
Gongsun Zan saw that Ju Yi had few vanguard soldiers, so he ordered the cavalry to charge and trample the enemy formation.
Ju Yi asked the soldiers to lie down under the shield calmly, and waited for the enemy cavalry to rush to within a distance of only A few dozen steps away, they all jumped up and slashed forward; at the same time, thousands of powerful crossbows were fired at the White Horse Volunteers.
The speed of the White Horse Volunteers' charge was instantly curbed.
Gongsun Zan's army suffered an unexpected blow, and the whole army fell into chaos, with cavalry and infantry scrambling to escape.
Ju Yi's army became more and more courageous. At this time, Bu Yanliang led the halberd soldiers to cut into the battlefield from the side.
Ju Yi killed Yan Gang, a subordinate of Gongsun Zan, and killed more than a thousand people.
Gongsun Zan's troops were instantly hit hard and began to fall into chaos.
