Chapter 41-Liu Bei's Speculation, Night Attack on the Yellow Turban Army! (New Book 6/7)
After half a day of fighting.
The sun above their heads gradually set in the west.
The fiery red afterglow dyed half of the blue sky red.
Within Gongsun Zan's camp in Ji County City.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were in the camp.
Gongsun Zan picked up a bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp. Then, he wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"I didn't expect Guo Xun and Liu Wei to die just like that. It's good for Chen Xin. Presumably, with the reputation of the Chen family in Yingchuan, Chen Xin will very likely become the governor of Youzhou in the future!”
Gongsun Zan poured himself another bowl of wine and sighed in his heart.
He was born into a noble family, but because of his mother's low status, he could not get help from his family.
If not for his father-in-law's help, he probably wouldn't have been able to reach his current position.
He had originally thought that if he performed well in Ji County, he would be able to obtain a more suitable official position when he was rewarded.
But now that he saw Chen Xin taking control of Ji County for no reason, he felt that it was somewhat unfair.
Chen Xin was a descendant of the Chen family of Yingchuan.
His father, Chen Shi, was a famous person in the world. Now that the party ban had been lifted, Chen Xin had a great chance of becoming the governor of Youzhou.
"Bogui, I don't know if I should say something.”Liu Bei, who was sitting not far from Gongsun Zan, whispered.
"Oh?" Gongsun Zan raised an eyebrow." If Liu Bei has something to say, then so be it. We are classmates and good friends. What's wrong with saying that?"”
After hearing Gongsun Zan's words, Liu Bei nodded and said carefully,""Didn't Bo Gui feel that the death of the Provincial Governor Guo Xun and the Prefect Liu Wei was strange?”
Gongsun Zan was stunned and stared at Liu Bei.""Xuande means…"
Liu Bei stood up and walked to the door of the tent. He looked left and right, then turned around and said,"
"Do you remember that Chen Yunqing suggested that Governor Guo Xun and Governor Liu Wei leave the city for a battle?”
"And yesterday, Bogui also saw the bravery of Chen Yunqing's two brothers. Why did they suddenly retreat today?”
Gongsun Zan frowned after hearing this.
That seemed to be the case. Today, he was charging behind Chen Peng.
At that time, the battle situation was obviously in their favor.
However, after the red-faced man and the leopard-headed guy retreated, the army collapsed like a mountain.
At first, Gongsun Zan did not notice it, but now that he heard Liu Bei's words, it seemed to make sense.
"Does Xuande mean that Chen Peng deliberately lost? And his target was actually Guo Xun and Liu Wei?”Gongsun Zan asked in surprise.
"This is just my guess. Is it really like this?" Liu Bei shook his head."Anyway, Bogui, just be careful."
After hearing Liu Bei's words, Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes.""If this is really Chen Xin's scheme, then this person is plotting against an official of the Imperial Court!”
Although Liu Bei did not insist that Guo Xun's death was definitely related to Chen Xin.
But Gongsun Zan already believed that this was Chen Xin's doing.
Because Guo Xun was dead, the biggest beneficiary was Chen Xin.
As the two of them were talking, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent.
After hearing this, Gongsun Zan made a gesture to silence him.
"May I ask if Brother Bogui is here?”
Outside Gongsun Zan's tent, Chen Peng brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei over.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei looked at each other.
"Be careful, Bogui." Liu Bei's expression was extremely solemn.
Actually, Liu Bei had some guesses that he did not say.
Gongsun Zan believed that this was Chen Xin's doing, but Liu Bei did not agree.
On the contrary, Liu Bei felt that these things were done by Chen Peng, who was outside the tent.
However, Liu Bei did not tell Gongsun Zan this.
"Haha, Brother Yunqing, it's so late, what's the matter?”Gongsun Zan opened the tent and said straightforwardly.
Chen Peng smiled at Gongsun Zai and Liu Bei and said,"It's like this. Today, the Yellow Turban bandits won two small victories, so they must be numb and careless. So my father ordered a sneak attack on the Yellow Turban camp tonight, killing the bandit leader in one fell swoop and then defeating this group of Yellow Turban bandits.”
"Of course, this definitely can't be done without Brother Bogui's support. That's why I came to inform Brother Bogui that we'll launch a sneak attack on the Yellow Turban camp tonight at midnight!”
Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were both stunned.
Gongsun Zan looked at Liu Bei, his eyes filled with worry.
The change in Gongsun Zan's eyes was captured by Chen Peng.
Chen Peng looked at Gongsun Zan and then at Liu Bei, who was hiding his gaze beside Gongsun Zan. He immediately understood.
Perhaps Guo Xun's death today had raised their guard, or perhaps the big-eared thief had 'dug Gongsun Zan's ear'.
"After today's battle, why don't you rest for a day?”Gongsun Zan couldn't directly refuse, so he suggested tactfully.
Chen Peng smiled and said," Brother Bogui, you should know that using surprise in the art of war is the only way to win. You can only win a complete victory by catching the enemy off guard. I hope Brother Bogui won't refuse!"”
Chen Peng's reason made Gongsun Zan unable to refuse. He had no choice but to nod in agreement!
