The Sims: The Emperor Raising Project

Chapter 159 The Eve of the Great War
Liu Bian ordered Chai Shao to lead the army into Ji County, and then led Yuwen Chengdu and Zhao Yun to go all the way south from Lu County to Yan Township.

Li Ru and Jia Xu accompanied Liu Bian all the way as soldiers.

Along the way, Li Ru intentionally introduced to Liu Bian Gongsun Zan's generals, especially Yan Gang, known as the number one general under Gongsun Zan's command, and that elite army who was famous all over the world.

"Where righteousness comes, life and death go hand in hand! The sky can learn from it, and the white horse is the proof!"

Li Ru silently recited this slogan that Baima Yicong often said on his lips, then looked at Liu Bian with a serious face, and said softly: "Baima Yicong has fought against the barbarians all the year round, but he has rarely lost. It can be said that it is a solid and elite army, His Majesty must be careful to deal with it."

"White Horse Yi Cong."

Liu Bian frowned silently, then turned around and glanced at the direction where Yuwen Chengdu was, and said, "My Liaodong cavalry has Yuwen Chengdu, who is known as the invincible in the world, as the commander, and Zilong, who is excellent in spear skills, is the deputy general. The brave Anlu Mountain is the vanguard, so why should I be afraid of a mere white horse?"

Jia Xu smiled slightly, glanced sideways at Tuoba Jiefen who was walking side by side with Yu Wencheng, then raised his eyebrows playfully, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan, I don't know if I should say it or not."

Hearing this, Liu Bian followed Jia Xu's eyes to look at the past. After looking at it, he smiled slightly and said, "I already know the heart of Wenhe. In this decisive battle, we should rely heavily on the Xianbei cavalry."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Jia Xu smiled and bowed to Liu Bian.

Three days later.

Liu Bian personally led the army to set up camp [-] miles west of Yanxiang.

Liu Bian's original plan was to lead the army to launch a surprise attack on Gongsun Zan when he was unprepared, but Gongsun Zan was by no means an easy person, and he even played a trick with Liu Bian.

During the march, Gongsun Zan dispatched at least a hundred scout teams, and each scout team's detection range expanded to hundreds of miles away. Before the scout team left, Gongsun Zan deliberately asked everyone to send people to report to him every day. Condition.

However, in the past three days, at least a dozen teams of scouts suddenly seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they never appeared in front of Gongsun Zan again.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zan immediately became alert, so he deliberately ordered the army to slow down the marching speed, and led the three thousand white horses to march slowly towards Lingqiu at a marching speed of fifty miles a day.

As the old saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hands. Now the army is eating food and grass subsidized by the Yuan brothers, so Gongsun Zan has no psychological burden at all.

The good old man Han Fu also ordered people to help Gongsun Zan raise food and grass in the extremely affluent Jizhou, so after Gongsun Zan learned that Liu Bian had not yet sent troops to attack Shanggu and Dai Commanderies, he was not in a hurry at all.

During the march, Gongsun Zan had roughly guessed Liu Bian's thoughts. He knew that Liu Bian would definitely be waiting for him in front of him, trying to find a chance to fight to the death with him. Liu Bian's move was exactly in line with Gongsun Zan's wishes. Gongsun Zan He likes to use force to solve all the problems in front of him. He always believes that force is the only correct solution to all problems.

Seven days later.

Gongsun Zan finally led his army to Lingqiu, and then set up camp [-] miles east of Lingqiu. The two sides confronted each other almost face to face on the outskirts of Lingqiu.

This is very in line with Gongsun Zan's behavior style, he is a master who likes to confront his opponents head-on.

Gongsun Zan stood on the sentry tower in front of the gate with his hands behind his back, looked towards the direction of the Han army camp, saw that the Han army camp was very neatly arranged, so he nodded approvingly, and said: "There are Tai Chi gossip in the camp, there are two The method of Yi Sixiang, it seems that the other party is also a person who is well versed in military strategy."

At this time, the scouts came to report and said: "My lord, the enemy commander stands alone on the sentry tower. The general has been observing outside the camp for a long time. He is nearly ten feet long and wearing a golden helmet. If the general does not guess If it's wrong, the opponent's coach should be Yuwen Chengdu who just led the army to destroy Wuhuan."

Gongsun Zan nodded confidently and said, "Explore again."

In fact, Gongsun Zan knew that Liu Bian was the true Lord of the Northern Lands, or that everyone in the world knew that the identity of the Lord of the Northern Lands was Liu Bian, but they deliberately refused to admit it for their own dream of competing in the world.

Gongsun Zan firmly believed in the fact that Yuwen was in charge of Chengdu. He never linked Liu Bian and Xiongcai Dalue together. The reason why Bian was able to successfully occupy the two prefectures of Youliao was because he "pretended" as King Hongnong and tricked many people of insight to come and vie for his assistance.

Gongsun Zan lightly patted the railing in front of him, a confident smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Yuwen Chengdu is brave, but it's a pity that he is short of wit. He only knows that relying on force and going on a rampage is really not enough." worry too."

From the information that Gongsun Zan has obtained so far, there is indeed no record of Yuwen Chengdu defeating the enemy by virtue of his ingenuity. He only saw a fierce and invincible Yuwen Chengdu, so there is nothing wrong with what he just said .

One after another, scouts came to report the military situation to Gongsun Zan: In the enemy camp stood a large banner several feet high, with the word "Yuwen" written on it.

The enemy army is dominated by Xianbei cavalry. Judging from the number of camps, it is estimated that there are about 3000 people, and the Han cavalry is supplemented by about [-] people.

Hearing that there were [-] Xianbei cavalry in the opposing army, Gongsun Zan burst out laughing and said, "How dare you come here to die?"

Under Gongsun Zan's command, Baima Yicong had fought the Hu people at least dozens of times, with more victories and fewer losses. It can be said that his record is remarkable. , His mood can be described as flying with joy.

Gongsun Zan had far-reaching thoughts. He planned to kill this barbarian cavalry to shock the mountain. He even thought of building a Jingguan in the Northland like Liu Bian after killing the Xianbei cavalry, so as to deter them. The Xianbei and the Xiongnu who are about to move.

In addition, Gongsun Zan had another plan. After defeating Liu Bian, he planned to charge Liu Bian with a criminal charge, so as to confirm the established fact that Liu Bian was impersonating King Hongnong. The reason for this is also very simple. How could the former emperor of the Han Dynasty be with the ambitious barbarians?The emperor of the Han Dynasty will definitely not do anything to help the tyrant.

While Gongsun Zan was secretly delighted in the camp, Liu Bian, who had quietly led his troops out of the camp two days ago, had led Zhao Yun, Zheng He, and [-] Jinyi guards quietly around behind Gongsun Zan's army, preparing to fight before the two armies fought. At that time, he gave Gongsun Zan a fatal blow from behind.
