Chapter 148 Nobody Believes
With the help of Guo Jia, Xu Shu and others, Yuan Tan made a major decision. He not only had to deal with this difficult siege, but also took the opportunity to fight out and capture Jizhou.
Guo Jia and the others were shocked by Yuan Tan's courage. They wanted to play it safe.
But Yuan Tan's bravery made them feel that this was a battle that would determine the future of Jizhou. Isn't this the concept and goal that I have been striving for throughout my life, so I am passionate about it.
So, in July 191 AD, Yuan Tan raised 7 troops and went south, claiming to help Han Fu defend Jizhou. People came to pay homage to him wherever he went.
on the other hand.
Panhe River was an important water system in ancient Jizhou, running diagonally across the entire land and flowing into the Bohai Bay.
Jieqiao is also an important military location on the Panhe River and a very important place in the center of Jizhou.
Yuan Shao raised [-] horses and infantry, and now they have reached the boundary bridge.
Watching the army passing by at the bridge, Yuan Shao was full of expectation and worry, "Has Yuan Tan sent out troops?"
After he got the news that Yuan Tan would send troops, he was really excited for several days, but there was no concrete confirmation yet.
This is already the fifth time today.
Shen Pei no longer knows how to answer.
"Dad, good news, my eldest brother has sent troops! An army of [-] should have entered the northern part of Changshan County by now."
Yuan Shang was very excited to arrive. This time Yuan Shao specifically asked him to take charge of the front-line affairs, and he also wanted to cultivate his beloved son.
Now it seems that Yuan Shang is a capable person without any mistakes.
Yuan Shao was ecstatic and said: "The destiny is on my side. I am sending an order to speed up the march and rush to Yecheng as soon as possible to form a confrontation with Han Fu. I can also paralyze him and capture him in one fell swoop!"
Yuan Shao had no intention of killing Yuan Tan, but wanted to take him back as a pawn.
Then he said: "Tell Liu Da'er the news immediately."
It can be seen from the title that Yuan Shao looks down on Liu Bei at all.
at the same time.
Tiance's army marched southward among the army.
Yuan Tance rode up to Gaopo, accompanied by military advisor Xu Shu and general Dian Wei.
He turned on the battlefield radar with a thought, and saw that the situation on the interface had changed again at this moment, and the soldiers and horses coming to attack him from all directions were advancing.
"Yuan Benchu has already arrived at the boundary bridge. Sure enough, the cavalry on Gongsun Zan's side is advancing much faster. Although Liu Bei's troops are not scary, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are really difficult to deal with."
His radar map is much more detailed than ordinary ones. There are many red dots on the entire map, representing the meticulous work of various people, spies, and messengers.
Yuan Tan observed carefully for a while. There was no threat, except for one of them that stood out with red letters on it. Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Liu Bei.
"It's normal for these two people to travel together and contact each other. Don't ignore them."
In ancient times, there was no such communication equipment as fast horses, so messages were conveyed by fast horses. Therefore, if it is such a big battle, there will be a serious information gap.
That is to say, if the troops are divided into battles, whether one side wins or loses, the other side will not know until a long time later.
Yuan Tan will also be very constrained. Fortunately, there is more or less real-time updated combat radar information. Therefore, every fifty miles he passed, he left three messenger cavalry behind, and they must arrive from Yecheng to Juyang within one day.
"At this rate, Gongsun Zan will launch a surprise attack on Shanggu County tomorrow. For this person, it must be a fatal surprise attack."
But for Yuan Tan, it is tantamount to seeking death.
He immediately called for senior officials and said, "Go to Guo Jia yourself and tell him to set up an ambush in Juyong. Gongsun Zan will sneak attack me in Juyang from this road."
"Here!" Gao Gan took two steps, turned around, hesitated, and asked: "Cousin, uncle has invited so many people to fight us, are you sure about this battle? The old man and the others are really worried."
Yuan Tan smiled and said, "After you go to Guo Jia's place, go home and let everyone prepare wine and meat for the celebration."
"Subordinate, go now!" The senior official felt more relaxed. Although he didn't know why Yuan Tan was so confident, he was also infected. Since my cousin is so confident, it should be a sure thing. After all, we already know the enemy's plot. Even if we can't attack, we can definitely defend it.
This is also the aspect that the family talks about the most in private communications. The development of Yuan Tan's power is obvious to all, and the family still has great confidence in him.
"When you come back, I will give you a handwriting."
That night.
As tired as a dead dog, Gao Gan finally entered Juyang City and rushed to Tiance Mansion without stopping.
Tiance Mansion was brightly lit at the moment, forming a sharp contrast with the entire city in the quiet night.
There are busy people everywhere. After a battle, it is not just the battle of the soldiers in the front. The people behind are definitely lazy if they don't get tired and lie down.
Their hard work also added indispensable weight to victory on the battlefield.
Especially Zhao Yun and Guo Jia had almost no rest.
The senior officials arrived and said, "General Zhao, military advisor, and eldest son have asked you to set up an ambush in Juyong. The enemy will definitely attack from there."
"impossible?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia hurried to the sand table and took a closer look with Zhao Yun, "General Zhao, look at Juyong here. The mountains here are rugged and steep, and Gongsun Zan is mostly a cavalryman. How could he take this road?"
As a counselor, he naturally knows how to strategize and win a victory thousands of miles away. In many battles in history, after being sent to the rear, the sages would conclude that the front must win or lose.
So I wasn't surprised after hearing Yuan Tan's strategy, I just didn't believe it.
Juyong is the later famous Juyong Pass, but there is no Guancheng established at this time.
Zhao Yun: "I don't think the eldest son is aimless."
Guo Jia: "But if we go to Juyong Pass and Gongsun Zan comes from another direction, we will have no troops to defend us."
You must know that this time, in order to ensure that he could conquer Jizhou in one go, Yuan Tan also led an army of 1 people, leaving only 10 people in the rear. Originally, he planned to increase the number of troops to [-] this year, but the abilities of Yuan Shao and others should not be underestimated, which just gave him a time lag.
"It's better than this." Guo Jia suggested: "Send General Qianzhao with three thousand soldiers and horses to guard the main road. If Gongsun Zan really attacks from here, he can completely resist it. Then we will be prepared."
Zhao Yun said: "Gongsun Zan and Yan Liang jointly marched with nearly 3000 troops. If we only use [-] people, we will miss the opportunity to annihilate Gongsun Zan in one battle. But if we can win the battle quickly, we can have [-] more troops to support the eldest son in the war." The battle in Jizhou.”
"No, it's too risky. It's unlikely that the enemy will take the initiative. Judging from the following, they will definitely take a detour and attack Juyang from the rear. Didn't General Zhao agree with me yesterday? ?" Guo Jia finally said: "The enemy's entire cavalry is too mobile. We use defense as offense and cannot leave Juyang City easily."
"This..." Zhao Yun was finally convinced. After all, as long as the large army did not leave the city, they would not fail. "Then send Qianzhao to Juyong."
Gao Gan coughed when he heard this.
Guo Jiadao: "General Gao, is there anything else?"
Gao Gan thought that the eldest son had the right calculation, "Here is the eldest son's handwriting. When Zhao Yun and Guo Jia see the military order, they will immediately send troops to Juyong to destroy Gongsun Zan. Do not delay the opportunity to fight."
Guo Jia and Zhao Yun: “…….”
