Chapter 853 Thinking
After discussing with his beloved general Liu Yi, Gongsun Du immediately mobilized 30,000 elite troops from the army and handed them over to Liu Yi's command.
Then, with the remaining troops, he once again surrounded Jixian County.
However, at this time, Gongsun Du would not immediately order his subordinates to attack Jixian again. After all, they had already attacked Jixian for two days before, and were raided by Zhao Yun's men again.
Especially Zhao Yun's surprise attack directly caused his rear army to lose tens of thousands of troops, causing a large-scale decline in morale among his own side.
If he orders his subordinates to attack the city again, not only will his low-spirited subordinates not be able to exert their normal combat power, but they may even cause greater losses.
So Gongsun Du decided to quit today, and he would cheer up the morale of his subordinates tonight.
When the morale of his subordinates recovers early tomorrow morning, he will start his fierce attack on Jixian again!
Gongsun Du is preparing for the time being. After receiving 30,000 elite troops, Liu Yi immediately took them to chase Zhao Yun and others in the direction they had just retreated.
He knew very clearly that his lord would never attack Jixian again today.
As long as the lord doesn’t move, Zhao Yun and the others can only hide in the dark, and they will never dare to flirt with the lord’s tiger beard at this time!
But if he fails to follow Zhao Yun and the others in time, if the Lord of Heaven attacks Ji County tomorrow, Zhao Yun and the others will come out to give the Lord's rear army, then Liu Yi will really have no face to face the Lord again!
So he had to find the traces of Zhao Yun and others in the shortest time.
Then he put Zhao Yun and the others in his own eyes, and only in this way can he create a stable offensive environment for the lord.
Fortunately, Zhao Yun and the others have not left for too long, and they have no shortage of experts in tracking. They should be able to find the traces of Zhao Yun and others in one and a half hours.
Liu Yi and his men left Gongsun Du's camp and began to track Zhao Yun.
At this time, Zhao Yun and his subordinates hid in a dense forest. He had to know what Gongsun Du's subsequent plan was.
Although Zhao Yun felt that Gongsun Du would have retreated after the raid he had just made, before the news was confirmed, the guess was still guessing.
If Gongsun Du is the kind of person who doesn't cry without seeing the coffin, he is holding on to the risk of being attacked by himself and Liu Yu, and still wants to attack Jixian, then he cannot let the other party succeed.
His lord has great respect for Liu Yu. Without this respect, Youzhou should have been under his lord's rule at least three or five years ago.
In addition, before I came to support Liu Yu this time, my lord gave me an order:
It was necessary to defeat him. This time Gongsun Du invaded Youzhou's men and entered Liaodong with the momentum.
Although he didn't know how the small tribes in Liaodong offended the lord, he didn't care about Zhao Yun's life and death of aliens.
Since the lord ordered that he wipe out all the alien races himself, he would not be ruthless to them at all.
For Gongsun Du who is blocking his way forward, he will also defeat the other side!
Just as Zhao Yun was considering these things, a scout cavalry sent by him returned from Jixian County. As soon as the scout cavalry came back, Zhao Yun found that his face was a bit strange.
"Xiao Shanzi~ Why do you have this expression? What happened? Hurry up and let me get over and explain it clearly!"
"General, you just sent a young man to investigate the movements of Gongsun Du's army. Originally, the young man thought that Gongsun Du would definitely withdraw his troops with his tail between his legs. But he didn't expect that he had no intention of withdrawing troops. According to Xiao's observation, he should have been ready to continue attacking Jixian tomorrow!"
"What? Gongsun Du really won't give up until the Yellow River, and won't hit the wall and turn back! Okay, since he wants to fight so much, I will fulfill his wish! I will pass on the orders of this general~"
"General, let's wait. The news brought back by Xiaodi is not just that. Gongsun Du also sent a general under his command to leave the camp with 30,000 troops. It seems that he is coming to us for bad luck!"
Just as Zhao Yun was about to give the order, the detective cavalry who had just breathed a sigh of relief immediately interrupted him.
If this was in the army of other princes, the scout would be ordered by the furious chief general and pulled it out and cut it directly!
However, Zhao Yun had no such idea at all. Based on the journey along the way, the detective cavalry named Xiaoshanzi must have rushed back immediately after getting the news.
I didn't even have time to take a breath on the road. After reporting on the military information I wanted to know the most, it was normal for me to take a breath. I would not blame my subordinates for this.
Besides, if it is just such a small matter, I blame my subordinates for their fault, then if such a situation occurs in a day, how dare my subordinates report it to the truth?
If the subordinates were afraid of hiding military information, then the only ones who suffered losses would be themselves and their own robes. How could Zhao Yun do such a stupid thing?
So Zhao Yun not only did not blame the scout named Xiaoshanzi, but instead looked at the other party with encouragement, hoping that the other party could tell some useful military information.
However, Xiaoshanzi only received so much news. He looked at his commander with some guilt, and then slowly lowered his head.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun did not blame him. Instead, he patted Xiao Shanzi on the shoulder hard. Then he leaned on a big tree and began to close his eyes and ponder.
He knew that the 30,000 troops sent by Gongsun Du were definitely coming out to find his own traces. Their purpose was to hold him back from leading his troops to help Liu Yu.
Through the raid just now, I probably also gained some understanding of the combat effectiveness of Gongsun Du.
Although the opponent's combat effectiveness is not as good as his subordinates, the difference is not too obvious.
Even if I meet up, the remaining 45,000 people under my command will have to spend at least nearly 10,000 casualties and about two days to wipe out the 30,000 people sent by Gongsun Du.
In addition, it will take at least two days for his subordinates to arrive near Jixian.
That is to say, Liu Yu and the others must face Gongsun Du's mad attack alone for at least four days!
According to his own judgment, Liu Yu and the others would never be able to hold on for so long. Even if they persisted for three days, the Liu Yu army in the city had probably reached the end of their lives.
If Gongsun Du wants to enter Jixian Town, the price he pays to defeat the other party will be too great to bear, after all, he still has a task in the future.
In other words, a match with the opponent is equivalent to losing.
Since this is the case, I must come up with a strange plan and give it to Gongsun Du.
It is best to not allow Gongsun Du to conquer Jixian, but also to severely attack Gongsun Du's army, and not to hurt the muscles and bones of his own army.
If he wants to think of the best of all three things, he must think carefully!
