Chapter 2444: Gongsun Xuanyuan VS Jiang Shang Li Mu (Part 1)

 “What? This is impossible.”

Wang Jian exclaimed and subconsciously denied it. After realizing his gaffe, he felt a burning pain on his face.

He just said that after reminding the military commanders, they must have heightened their vigilance and would never fall into Jiang Shang's scheme again. Then the news came that Gongsun Xuanyuan had been defeated.

This slap in the face came too quickly!

 All the generals present, including Wen Zhong, took a deep breath after hearing the news of Gongsun Xuanyuan's defeat.

　　　　…

Like Wang Jian, he also felt that this was impossible. After all, Gongsun Xuanyuan and Gongsun Yan were different.

Although they are both members of the Gongsun family, they are not on the same level in terms of status or prestige.

Gongsun Yan is only slightly famous, but Gongsun Xuanyuan is a famous general who is famous all over the world.

He was there when we were fighting for the Yellow Turbans, when we killed Xiang Yu, when we destroyed the Ming Dynasty, when we were fighting against Dong, and when he was fighting in Hebei...

It can be said that in the past ten years or so, Gongsun Xuanyuan has participated in almost all major events that have occurred in the world and escaped unscathed.

This is only Xuanyuan's record in martial arts, and his record in uniting the army is even more dazzling.

Let's put it this way, Gongsun Xuanyuan=except for being betrayed by his own people in Liaodong and suffering some defeats, he has never been defeated in a real battle.

It is understandable to be betrayed by one of your own and lose the battle. After all, it is impossible to guard against this kind of thing. No one can guarantee whether the people around you will betray you. Once you encounter it, you can only admit that you are unlucky, so no one can Will use this to attack Xuanyuan.

As for frontal combat, Gongsun Xuanyuan has not yet been defeated. Even if he was forced to run out of ammunition and food by Man Qin in Liaodong, he was still able to escape unscathed and inflicted heavy damage on Man Qin.

 Such a record, even those in the Qin army who can achieve it, obviously cannot exceed the number of one palm.

But it was such a powerful Gongsun Xuanyuan, but when he chased the retreating Jiang Shang Wuji, he was defeated by the opponent?

 So, after hearing the news, everyone present felt that the news was too outrageous.

That was Gongsun Xuanyuan, how could he be defeated so easily?

 The reason why Gongsun Xuanyuan was defeated was mainly due to Gongsun Yan.

After Gongsun Yan's small defeat, he was filled with reluctance, but the cavalry under his command could no longer fight, and without cavalry, naturally he would not be able to catch up with Wu Ji's troops.

Gongsun Yan thought about it and decided that he could neither let Wu Ji go easily nor miss this good opportunity to pursue him. After checking the map, he found that the location of Gongsun Xuanyuan's headquarters was not too far away from him.

Gongsun Xuanyuan's troops are all cavalry, and they are not too far away. Since his troops cannot catch up, he can let Xuanyuan chase after him.

So Gongsun Yan wrote a letter of divorce, and Fei Ge sent a letter to Gongsun Xuanyuan, telling Xuanyuan that due to his carelessness, he not only suffered a small defeat, but also allowed Wu Ji's troops to escape. He hoped that Gongsun Xuanyuan could send troops to pursue him, and reminded him Xuanyuan leads you carefully, don't fall into the trap like him.

At this time, Gongsun Yan had not received Wang Jian's message and did not know that Jiang Shang was in Wuji's army. He thought that he was careless and fell into Wuji's plan.

 After receiving the summons from Wang Jian, Gongsun Yan realized that he had not lost to Wu Ji, but had been tricked by the famous Jiang Shang.

Although faced with this situation of calculated calculations and unintentional calculations, I am afraid that he would have been defeated by someone else, but a defeat was a defeat. Gongsun Yan could not find an excuse for his defeat, and he realized that he might have cheated Xuanyuan Yi. Bundle. Gongsun Yan immediately wrote to Gongsun Xuanyuan, but it was obviously too late.

 Gongsun Xuanyuan was naturally overjoyed after receiving Gongsun Yan's message. After all, a battalion of Tang soldiers retreated on the plain. If he caught up with them, they would definitely be defeated.

 Gongsun Yan, his cousin, asked him to pursue him. He was simply giving him credit. He was indeed a good brother of his own.

As for Gongsun Yan’s reminder, Gongsun Xuanyuan took it to heart, but didn’t pay attention to it.

There is a dangerous place to set up an ambush on the Wuzhangyuan side, but after passing it, it is all plains. Even if Wu Ji wants to ambush him, there is no place to set an ambush.

Gongsun Xuanyuan didn't know that Jiang Shang was in Wuji's army. He thought that his cousin Gongsun Yan was just careless and fell into Wuji's ambush, so he still didn't pay much attention to Wuji and pursued him with only a thousand cavalry.

Gongsun Xuanyuan also has cities along the way that need to be advanced one by one. It is impossible to allocate too many troops just because of thousands of infantry. Besides, in his opinion, a thousand cavalry is enough for cavalry to fight infantry.

Wuket was not a famous general, and his infantry was not elite, and the number was not large. One thousand cavalry was more than enough.

As soon as Gongsun Xuanyuan left, Wang Jian's message arrived, and naturally he didn't know about Jiang Shang's existence.

Jiang Shang led Wuji's troops straight to Baling where Li Mu was located. He was extremely cautious along the way and sent out a large number of spies, for fear that the Qin army's cavalry would catch up, but they did not know the news.

Jiang Shanghui was so cautious, naturally because the Qin army on the west route was not just Gongsun Yan, but three.

 Wang Jian, Gongsun Xuanyuan, and Gongsun Yan all belong to the Qin army on the west route.

Wang Jian's troops also had cavalry, and Gongsun Xuanyuan's troops were all cavalry. As long as one of Wuji's troops was pursued, they would not be able to escape.

Although Jiang Shang had guessed Gongsun Yan's thoughts before, people's hearts are extremely complex and it is obviously not that easy to fully understand.

If Gongsun Yan was concerned about his face and did not tell the other two friendly armies about the defeat of his unit, naturally no Qin army would pursue him.

If Gongsun Yan didn't care about his personal face and told the other two Qin armies, 80% of them would have the Qin army's cavalry chasing them.

 There are only these two possibilities, and there will not be a third one.

With the situation of Wu Ji's troops, once they are overtaken by the Qin cavalry on the plains, they will not be able to run away even if they want to.

Given the combat power displayed by the Qin army’s cavalry, seven hundred cavalry would be enough to defeat them, and one thousand cavalry would be enough to annihilate them all.

Jiang is not yet sure whether the Qin army will pursue him, but if he wants to avoid the second scenario, he must make preparations in advance.

Jiang Shangxiang sent people to ask for help from Li Mu, hoping that Li Mu could send troops to respond. Because of the situation under Wu Ji's command, once the Qin army's cavalry really came after them, it would be impossible to escape on their own, and external support would be necessary.

Jiang Shang concluded that since Li Mu wanted to open up the situation, he would never abandon the Buji battalion, so he would definitely send troops or even lead the army himself to meet them.

However, it will obviously take time for Li Mu's troops to arrive. If the Qin army catches up before then, it will obviously be too late for Li Mu to respond.
