Chapter 530: Gongsun Zan's Ambition

Gongsun Zan sat on the saddle, wiping the double-headed spear again and again. The spear tip was spotless and could be seen. He still felt dissatisfied. He carefully sniffed on the spearhead, facing the light, squinted his eyes, looked carefully, and then slowly wiped it. (Baidu search: Sui Meng Novel Network, the fastest update to read novels)

Gongsun Yue came back from walking the horse, tied Gongsun Zan's majestic white horse to the side, put a bag around the horse's neck, and there were beans in the bag. The horse lowered its head and licked and ate the beans on its own. Gongsun Yue patted the horse's back, strode to Gongsun Zan, lowered his head, and looked at him.

"Brother, where will we break through?"

"Breakthrough?" Gongsun Zan kept chuckling in his hand: "Do you still have to choose to break through? You can do it from any side."

Gongsun Yue frowned and looked around with some anxiety. The three thousand white horses were very quiet, adjusting their saddles, checking bows, arrows, spears, and war horses, making preparations before the war. They chatted easily and did not take the upcoming battle seriously. More than 10,000 knights gathered further away, and the war horses ran lightly, and the smoke and dust raised enveloped them in it. It was difficult to see their specific arrangements.

"Do you think that just Yuan Shao's five or six thousand cavalry could stop me?" Gongsun Zan stood up and fiddled with the two-headed iron spear in his hand. The iron spear flew, and the red tassel on the spear turned into a circle of fire in the wide range. "If he hadn't been born in the Yuan family of the three Dukes of the four generations, he would not have been today. At best, he would have been a general under Deran."

"Brother, even if that is the case, you should not underestimate the enemy." Gongsun Yue felt increasingly uneasy. He felt that Gongsun Zan thought Yuan Shao too simply. It was true that he was a noble child of the three nobles of the four generations. However, Yuan Shao was able to give up his pride, join the Northern Army, and followed Yuan Shao to fight in the northern border. He was not a noble child who could not endure hardship. In recent years, he has commanded a hundred thousand troops to fight south and north, but has won many battles. Gongsun Zan was invincible on the grassland, but he faced Yuan Shao. So far, there is no commendable victory.

This time, Yuan Shao took the initiative and blocked the battlefield chosen by Yuan Shao and lost the opportunity. Why would he say that he would definitely win?

But Gongsun Yue didn't dare to say it. He knew that it would be impossible to mention any meaning at this time, even if he was Gongsun Zan's younger brother.

Gongsun Zan was very confident, and to the point of being a little paranoid. He was born as a concubine, but he was very smart, both civil and military, and studied under the great scholar Lu Zhi, and was the same as the famous General Cheqi. Therefore, he had an innate contempt for the children of those aristocratic families. He believed that what Liu Xiu could do, he could do, and all he lacked was an opportunity.

In other words, he just disdains to welcome the emperor like Liu Xiu.

There are no children from the big family under Gongsun Zan. He doesn't like them. Not only can he take the initiative to recruit them, but even if the other party comes to sue him, he will arrange them to remote places intentionally or unintentionally. Try not to let them wander around in front of him. He is surrounded by people without family backgrounds, including business vendors such as Li Yizi, and how can they be happy with businessmen? If the fortune teller Liu Weitai, listen to the names of these people, you will know what their origins are.

Gongsun Zan has a theory that when aristocratic families get officials, they will think that this is what they deserve and will not be grateful to you. However, these people who did not have the opportunity to become officials will be grateful and have true loyalty because you become officials.

He seemed to make sense. Those people were indeed grateful to him and were very loyal. Especially the white horse Yicong, who was beside him, rushed forward every time he went into battle and never retreated. It was with their courage and fearlessness that Gongsun Zan achieved victory after victory.

However, when facing Yuan Shao, their blades were no longer so sharp. Although they did not lose their limits in several battles, the front line was unable to move forward. Facing the city walls of Yixian and the strong bows and crossbows on the city walls, they were as brave as a white horse and had no choice.

"What are you worried about?" Gongsun Zan smiled calmly: "Worry that I will defeat?"

Gongsun Yueqiang smiled: "Brother, there is a lot of military tactics. Before you can win, you can lose first. This is also a common sense."

Gongsun Zan said slightly: "You are right, then I'll ask you now, what are the advantages and disadvantages of Yuan Shao?"

Gongsun Yue thought for a while: "Yuan Shao won because of his many troops. There are more than 50,000 infantry and cavalry here, while we only have 20,000 people. We are more than 15,000 cavalry, and Yuan Shao only has five or six thousand."

"Well, you know that in field battles, how many infantry is the battle of a cavalry equivalent to?"

“Three to five.”

"Yes, even if there are three, 15,000 cavalry is equivalent to 45,000 in the first half, and there are 50,000 people. Yuan Shao, who is only 60,000, are almost the same. Moreover, his war horses are far less than mine. For me, the five or six thousand cavalry are just appetizers. How can the remaining tens of thousands of infantry be worth it?"

Gongsun Zan picked up the saddle with one hand and placed it on the horse's back easily. He tied the saddle and belly belt one by one, gently stroked the smooth mane of the war horse. "Besides, if the troops are divided, the force will be dispersed, and if the force is combined, the force will be gathered. In order to surround me, Yuan Shao's 50,000 troops will be divided into two parts, and the combat power will be greatly reduced. Yuan Shao surrounded me, thinking that he had a plan, but he didn't know that this was his own fault and he would not live." Gongsun Zan raised his head, looked at the sky to the west, and smiled faintly: "He hid in the city and couldn't come out, and I can't do anything to him, but now he is coming to the door, how can I miss this great opportunity? Defeat him, Yixian is mine, Hejian is mine, and Jizhou is mine. At that time, I will wave my troops south to take Yuan Shu's playboy. Yuan family? I bah!"

Gongsun Yue then understood what Gongsun Zan was thinking, and he couldn't help but be surprised and happy.

Gongsun Zan flew on a horse, holding a double-headed iron spear in one hand, and shook it hard, and a silver flower trembled. "Get together and defeat Yuan Shaoyanshi!"

Gongsun Yue nodded vigorously, turned over and ran forward.

The drummer beat the war drums, and more than a dozen of the most elite white horses Yicheng got on the horse and gathered to Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan lightly knocked on the horse's belly, and the white horse walked towards the formation with light steps. The white horses Yicheng followed closely.

The smoke and dust gradually stabilized, revealing a neat cavalry formation. Five thousand infantrymen were led by Gongsun Fan in the east. Their mission was to intercept Yuan's army from Yixian. Ten thousand elite cavalry were lined up in three square formations, all facing west. Their attack direction was Gecheng on the west, Yuan Shao. The knights stood beside the war horses, holding the reins in one hand and holding the iron spear in the other, with their bright eyes fixed on Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan had a white robe with a white horse, covered with a snow-white cloak. With the pace of the war horse, the cloak opened and closed, revealing the bright silver-fish scale armor inside. A tall and strong knight behind him held his double-headed iron spear in his hand, following him step by step. Although the dozen or so white horses did not deliberately lined up, they seemed to be one with Gongsun Zan, and each movement was so harmonious and tacit. They also had white horses with white cloaks around them, with bright silver armor around them. They had a bow on the left, a knife on the right, and a pot of arrows on the left and an iron spear in their hands.

They floated in front of the formation like a white cloud.

Gongsun Zan gently tied the border rope, glanced at the soldiers standing in front of him, looked at the spears like a forest, and looked at the pair of eyes with admiration and awe. He smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth.

Like the sun shining on the iceberg, reflecting holy light.

A commotion suddenly appeared in the neat battle formation. It seemed like ripples suddenly appeared on the calm water surface, and it quickly spread to all directions with Gongsun Zan as the center. The soldiers paid attention to Gongsun Zan with joyful eyes, and the same warm light appeared in their eyes.

Gongsun Zan raised his hand and pressed it gently. The commotion suddenly stopped. Almost all the soldiers held their breath, concentrated all their energy, and listened to Gongsun Zan's next sentence, the first word.

"Soldiers, do you know who we are about to attack?" Gongsun Zan's body swayed gently with the war horse. His voice was very similar to Lu Zhi, as loud as a bell, but every word was clear. Even those standing at the end of the team could clearly hear what he was saying. Gongsun Zan turned sideways and pointed to the sky west: "It is Yuan's family of four generations and three dukes. It is Yuan's family that monopolized the career of officialdom for hundreds of years, and Yuan's family who wanted to usurp the world of the Han Dynasty."

Gongsun Zan opened his hands and his voice became sharp: "The Yuan family was deeply favored by the country, and his disciples and former officials were everywhere. Those who attached themselves to the Yuan family were in a high position. Those who opposed the Yuan family, whether you have excellent martial arts, bravery and good at fighting, or are well-versed in the classics and wise, they were very talented, and they were difficult to stand out. They occupied the career, praised each other, promoted their trustees who depended on them, but abandoned countless talents. The playboy Yuan Shu only knew about street fighting, but easily became the General of the Tiger and the General Left. Yuan Shao only knew how to sit and talk about it, but became the former general, and we..."

Gongsun Zan slapped his chest hard and pointed his sword at the week: "We fought bloody battles, but we have no way to make a comeback. Is this world a righteous person?"

"Unfair!" The soldiers were filled with righteous indignation by Gongsun Zan and roared loudly without thinking. Most of the soldiers had no family background and had never even read books. On the one hand, they respected scholars, and on the other hand, they felt unfair. Why did they fight to the death to kill the enemy and make contributions? It was better for those scholars to read a few poems and books and say a few empty words to be promoted quickly? Why did Gongsun Zan make such great military achievements before becoming the Left General, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao inexplicably become generals. The ancestors of the Yuan family had never even fought a war, and only the three kings of four generations?

"What if you do it for being unfair?" Gongsun Zan roared.

"Kill!" A soldier with a red face raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly in a sharp voice.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The soldiers used their spears to knock on the ground and roared in unison.

Gongsun Zan waited for a moment, pressed his hands again. The roar stopped in response, leaving only a heavy breathing sound. Gongsun Zan took the double-headed iron spear from his personal guard, raised it in the air, and sang: "Today, Yuan Shao overestimated himself and came to die. Gongsun Zan was not talented, and was willing to drive forward for you, kill this thief, and recover Jizhou. Are you willing to fight with me?"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!" The roar was like thunder, Yanshan was shaking, and Xize rose.

Gongsun Zan turned his horse's head, pointed at the iron spear, and roared angrily: "Kill!"

The drum sound suddenly exploded, like thunder and like a storm. Gongsun Zan let go of the reins of the horse and began to rush slowly. The white horse Yi followed closely behind and slowly formed a geese-shaped charge formation. They were like silver beaks, as sharp as the cold spearhead in Gongsun Zan's hand, rushing towards the battle formation of Yuan's army in the distance...!!!
