Chapter 97 Liu Guanzhang Came to Target
this day.
At the gate of Yuan Tan's former general's mansion, the senior generals of the Shence Army headed by Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun gathered here.
Today is the new listing ceremony of Yuan Tan's mansion, and it is of great significance to all the soldiers of the Shence Army.
This day is destined to belong to men, and women can only stand and watch from afar.
Shaoqing.
With the sound of drums and horns, Yuan Tan walked out of the mansion.
Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun followed, carrying a plaque on one left and one on the right.
Under Yuan Tan's command, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun climbed up the ladder in person and hung the plaque next to the plaque in the former general's mansion.
However, the new plaque is still covered under the red cloth.
Until Yuan Tan walked over and pulled down the rope to complete the unveiling ceremony.
As the red cloth fell to the ground, a new plaque was revealed.
The three big characters of Shence Mansion appeared in front of the world.
The generals looked at the new plaque with excited eyes, and their hearts had already seen the future.
From then on, Yuan Tan's mansion began to be called Shence Mansion by the world.
This is Guo Jia's suggestion, and Yuan Tan thinks it is very good. This will further highlight the Shence Army in the entire Yuan Army, and clarify Yuan Tan's leadership over the Shence Army.
vertical sun.
Yuan Tan participated in the military meeting of the Yuan family.
This meeting is extraordinary, and the Yuan family's military front is about to start in Jizhou.
Now, Yuan Shao has integrated the troops left by Han Fu and the income from recruiting, and has gathered more than 70,000 soldiers under his command. Yuan Shao has 60,000 soldiers in his hands, and the three sons each have 5,000 troops.
Moreover, he was more formally assigned to Ju Yi, Su You, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, and Zhang Wei as Yuan Shang's generals.
It was assigned to Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, and was Yuan Xi's general.
Zhang Liao, Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Wang Zhao, Cen Bi, and Peng An were under the jurisdiction of Yuan Tan.
Under Yuan Shao's command were Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Shen Pei, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Chen Lin, and Xu You.
Wu You, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Gao Lan, Zhang He, Chun Yuqiong, Zhou Ang, Lu Weihuang, Gao Gan and others.
Among them, Feng Ji clearly supported Yuan Shang.
Guo Tu and Chen Lin supported Yuan Tan.
The rest and others remain neutral.
According to the well-established military plan, Yuan Shao began to dispatch troops and generals, took up a token, "Tan'er."
"Yes." Yuan Tan stood up.
Yuan Tan's prestige in the Yuan army is growing day by day, and Yuan Shao doesn't want to rely too much on the eldest son, but the battle of Jizhou is extremely important, and he has to entrust him with a heavy responsibility, "Xiansi, I ordered you to attack Liu Bei with our troops and horses. Plain County."
"Follow my father's order!" Yuan Tan agreed, and became the first person to receive the military order before everyone else.
Yuan Shao signaled that he was not in a hurry to leave to reorganize the army, and said: "Xiansi, although Liu Bei only has thousands of soldiers and horses, he has a strong general like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei by his side, so you must be careful when you go."
"Yes." Yuan Tan turned around and left.
Yuan Shao watched his eldest son leave, for Liu, Guan and Zhang, he was very troubled. It is precisely because of the assistance of these three people that Gongsun Zan has won several victories in the past few months. Yuan Jun had to give up Anping County in the middle of Jizhou, and now Gongsun Zan's main force is stationed in Guangzong.
Because of this, people in the world felt that the Yuan family was likely to lose the battle that lasted for a long time, and Gongsun Zan was so powerful in the north.
Yuan Shao didn't have much hope for his eldest son's ability to capture Pingyuan County. He only hoped that Liu Guanzhang's support for Gongsun Zan could be stopped.
He immediately named his second son, Yuan Xi, and asked him to lead his troops to attack Hejian.
In this way, Yuan Tan is in the south and Yuan Xi is in the north, forming two wings to defend, so that Yuan Shao's main force in the middle can fight Gongsun Zan decisively.
"When you go back and make some preparations, you will follow me to fight against Guangzong tomorrow," Yuan Shao said.
At this moment, Yuan Shao very much hoped to fight Gongsun Zan as soon as possible, because although his military strength was comparable to that of the enemy, his territory was too small to supply such a huge army for a long time.
Under the hall, Yuan Shang was the first to stand up and promise, seeing that the eldest brother and the second brother were sent abroad, he was the only one who could lead the people to follow his father.
With Yuan Jun's attack, the battle for hegemony in Jizhou has entered the most critical moment.
...
Guangzong, seven or eight years ago, this place was the base camp of the Yellow Turban Thieves.
Today, Gongsun Zan's 50,000 troops are stationed here.
The Yuan family's 70,000 troops marched out with great momentum, so Gongsun Zan got the news very quickly.
The handsome mansion in the city.
Gongsun Zan, who was sitting in the commander-in-chief position, seemed very excited. He also really wanted to start a decisive battle with Yuan Shao, but he was a little worried about Yuan Shao's layout of advancing in three ways.
At this time, a burly young man stepped out from among the generals in the hall.
Tian Yu: Strength 79, Intelligence 78.
This person is a famous general in the north, who was stationed in Youzhou for most of his life in history, and repeatedly defeated the Xiongnu, Karasuma and other grassland aliens with outstanding achievements. It is also the strongest general under Gongsun Zan's command besides Zhao Yun in history.
Although he is still very young at present, he has already made his mark, and he is a very high-ranking general in Baima Yicong's army.
The Baima Yicong cavalry is the most powerful unit in Gongsun Zan's hands. He was able to continuously defeat Yuan Jun, and Baima Yicong's contribution is second to none.
"My lord, under Yuan Tan's command are Zhang Liao, Dian Wei and other powerful generals who can defeat Lv Bu and kill Dong Zhuo. His magical army should not be underestimated." Tian Yu said.
Discussion suddenly broke out in the peaceful hall.
Gongsun Zan nodded, and he also attached great importance to this point, "Although Yuan Tan's magical strategy army is powerful, Xuande also has Guan Yu and Zhang Fei... It is probably impossible for Yuan Tan to seize Pingyuan County."
Tian Yujin said: "My lord's words are very true, but if Lord Xuande is restrained by Yuan Tan, we will lose strong support when we fight the enemy in the future."
The discussion in the hall became louder, as if Yuan Shao began to rely on Yuan Tan. Due to the great achievements of the Liu Bei brothers in Jizhou, the people on Gongsun's side also rely on their brothers.
"What do you have to say?" Gongsun Zan heard the overtones.
Tian Yu then said: "Yuan Shao sent his second son into Hejian, and his eldest son into Pingyuan. He personally led the army from the middle route to go straight here. The upper, middle and lower routes rely on each other to attack, and it is not easy to deal with it."
"Why don't you pretend to be defeated and give up Guangzong, and lure Yuan Shao to chase after him. In this case, Yuan Tan will become a lone army to go deep, and our army can also divide a lot of troops to target him..."
Because Yuan Jun has been on the defensive, Gongsun Jun is very tired. Now that the Yuan family is aggressively counterattacking, it seems that they are waiting for work with ease.
Gongsun Zan is known for his military strategy. He knows that although his side has always been in the upper hand, the outcome of a frontal battle is unpredictable, so he will attach great importance to Tian Yu's military plan in the future.
If they could eat Yuan Tan who was going down the road, then the three brothers Liu Bei who were released would be able to cut off Yuan Shao's retreat.
Then, Gongsun Zan could complete the military deployment to encircle Yuan Shao's main force. As for Yuan Xi who was on the road to Hejian, he didn't pay attention at all.
The key to this plan is to lure Yuan Shao to catch up. In this case, the middle lane will be unable to support Yuan Tan from the bottom lane.
From Gongsun Zan's point of view, as long as his 'defeat' is perfect, how could Yuan Shao give up the chance to destroy his main force?
So he made a decisive decision, and he personally sat in the middle of the road to attract Yuan Shao, and sent his generals Tian Kai and Yan Gang to lead 15,000 soldiers and horses as a mobile force to the plains to support Liu Bei.
There is only one purpose, to cooperate with Liu Guanzhang to target and eliminate Yuan Tan who is in the bottom lane.
