In Xiangping City, Gongsun Yuan was so anxious that he was walking back and forth. The counselor Jia Fan sat aside and was almost fainted by the figure of the King of Yan. He couldn't help but say, "Master, the matter of war is not urgent, so don't be impatient."

"I can't be anxious? Hum!"

Gongsun Yuan snorted coldly, his face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "I know that the war is not urgent, but I should also know that it is not possible to delay it. I am trapped in Xiangping, and the court is in danger at this time. Yang Zuo and Bei Yan stationed troops in Shouyang Mountain, just not sending reinforcements. What is this? Is it true that we should usurp the throne and reliance?"

During the nearly half month of encirclement and suppression battle, most of the Yan army in Xiangping City lost money and fought desperately to defend the city and resist the enemy. Fortunately, more than 10,000 people in the Goguryeo army were annihilated by the Yan army led by Yang Zuo in Shouyang Mountain. Currently, there are only 20,000 foreign coalition forces besieging Xiangping.

In addition, since July, the river news has skyrocketed and heavy rains have continued. The military camps stationed in Goguryeo and Xianbei have also been flooded by the river water. The water depth of the flat ground is two feet, which is also complaining about the sky.

Fortunately, because Gongsun Xiu built a dam seven months in advance, widened the river channel and dredged it, even the month of heavy rain did not flood Xiangping, and the water conservancy that had been disrepaired in the city was fully prepared.

If the city was really flooded by floods, Xiangping City would have been defeated long ago.

Jia Fan frowned and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is also in Shouyang Mountain. Logically speaking, he should send troops to rescue him."

Gongsun Yuan was stunned when he heard this. He knew that this incompetent son had a little abnormality in the past few months. His head seemed to suddenly become enlightened. Even Sima Yi and Zhuge Jin were fooled by him.

He was also happy to be a hand-off manager in the back. After all, it was extremely dangerous to charge and fight outside.

When Gongsun Xiu also arrived at Shouyang Mountain, Gongsun Yuan's face turned pale: "This bastard, I'm just kicked, and I'm still garrisoning troops to save me?"

Jia Fan said: "Maybe His Highness is worried about the Goguryeo people's suspicious military strategy?"

Gongsun Yuan frowned and shook his head, "It's impossible. This kid is very alert and suddenly becomes good at using military tactics and various tricks. How could he not know that Xiangping is in danger and not rescued at this time, when will he come to rescue him?"

He was extremely nervous. The heavy rain now temporarily hindered Goguryeo's attack, but once the rain retreated, it would inevitably be a fierce battle. If Gongsun Xiu did not send reinforcements to support him, maybe Xiangping would not be able to stop him one day, and his head might have sent a direct commandment to Luoyang.

Jia Fan was very confused. He had already heard that over the past few months, His Highness the Prince's leadership of the Yan army successfully disrupted the pace of the Wei army, causing Sima Yi to bear considerable losses, and it was said that he had made great achievements. Jia Fan thought that the army was coming to Shouyang Mountain but did not save Xiangping. This matter was very strange and frowned and said, "Master, will Your Highness the Prince have other arrangements?"

Gongsun Yuan was anxious and wanted to ask someone to write a letter of cursing, but then he thought: "Eighty percent of the military power in Liaodong is in his hands. If I am angry, if this kid doesn't come to save you, Xiangping will suffer. At present, he can only comfort him and not provoke him."

After thinking about it, he turned to look at Jia Fan and said, "My dear, you must come forward to this matter, help me comfort me with kind words, move me with emotion, and understand it with reason. Don't anger this little bastard."

When Jia Fan heard Gongsun Yuan say this, his heart became nervous and said solemnly: "Is the king worried that the prince would be respectful and refused to save the emperor. Is it that the king was suffering from the siege?"

Gongsun Yuan sighed: "It's all because of my slutty. Seeing that he made many great achievements, he handed over most of his military power to him. But after all, we are in a father-son battle, and Anu is now blinded by victory, and he can vaguely command the Yan State on my behalf. For the sake of this, we can only rely on your three-inch tongue to persuade him."

Jia Fan avoided the seat and bowed, saying in a deep voice: "The old minister received the order. But I hope the prince can see the old minister's slightestness and understand that turning back is the shore."

Gongsun Yuan smiled bitterly, thinking of his uncle Gongsun Gong, who was in prison, and thinking of his younger brother Gongsun Huang who was indirectly killed in Luoyang because of his king's name, because he was called king Zili, he couldn't help but feel sad: "For my own selfishness, I imprisoned my uncle for nearly ten years, and to be called king Zili, I killed my brother. I have been speculating and betrayed for most of my life, but I have been unwilling to the Wei and Wu countries. Even a small country like Goguryeo can step on my head and do whatever I want... Could this be my retribution?"

I felt compassion in my heart, and tears filled my eyes.

Seeing that Gongsun Yuan was in a bad mood, Jia Fan had to leave first. The next morning, Xiangping City opened, and a large number of soldiers escorted Jia Fan out of the city.

The Goguryeo army surrounded him from all directions, and the Yan army had to fight hard. Jia Fan was wrapped in the chaos and braved the flying arrows on his face, so scared that he lay on the horse's back. The feather arrows flew past three or four inches above his back, and were so shocked that he was sweating profusely.

Fortunately, the personal soldiers around him risked their lives to break through the siege, and a team of more than ten cavalry protected him and broke through the gap in the encirclement. The Goguryeo army only said that they were killed and fleeing deserters, so they didn't have time to pay attention to it.

Jia Fan ran to Shouyang Mountain in a panic. He sorted out his clothes, patted the dust on his body, and walked quickly up the mountain.

When the Yan Army guarding the city saw that it was Gongsun Yuan's deputy general Jia Fan, he quickly opened the door and released the voyage, reporting it to Gongsun Xiu all the way.

Gongsun Xiu was practicing archery. A "swoosh" arrow hit the bull's eye. Then another arrow passed through the target and penetrated it diagonally on the ground three meters away, leaving a small arrow hole in the bull's eye.

Yang Zuo applauded and said, "The prince is good at archery."

He shrugged and smiled, "This is not good. The target is dead. Just stand there and stay motionless. If you shoot for a long time, you can always hit it. But if it is a target a hundred steps away, "it will not only move, but also pull a bow and point at me, then I may not be able to shoot accurately."

Yang Zuo said: "This metaphor is novel and appropriate, which is good. After all, the target has no deterrence. If the opponent is also a master who is good at crossbows, then he will naturally feel fear. If the hand is out of standard, he will not be shot."

Gongsun Xiu thought and bent his bow and arrow again. With a "swoosh", the arrow was very powerful and passed through the target, but it did not make any sound.

Yang Zuo exclaimed softly, and when he walked closer, he found that the third arrow had accurately passed through the arrow hole left by the second arrow, and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up: "Your Highness's archery skills are unparalleled in the world, even Huang Zhong Fusheng of Shu Han, is just like this."

"I wear it all the time, but I don't wear it."

Gongsun Xiu was both angry and funny. Just as he was about to say something, his personal soldiers rushed to report: "Your Highness, Jia Fan is looking for a meeting outside."

He was stunned: "Is it the deputy general of King Yan? Why did he come over? Let him come over to see me immediately."

The personal soldiers responded and left quickly.

Yang Zuo said: "Jia Fan has always been the confidant of the King of Yan. Whenever a major event is made, Jia Fan must make plans. He should be the lobbyist of the King of Yan. He advised His Highness to put the overall situation first and not to disrupt the government's affairs and offend the superiors because of his own selfishness."
