Chapter 30: Bandit Hunting and Monster Farming (1)
"Hey, my father hasn't heard from me yet, and I don't know how!"
Gongsun Du looked at the green mountains not far away, and some thoughts did not belong. He was really worried about Gongsun Yan, after all, he was a fugitive at present, and it was entirely possible that he would not be accepted, but would be sent to the government, and Gongsun Du wanted to write a letter several times to inquire about the situation, but he was afraid that Gongsun Yan had other ideas, and sending a letter would cause unnecessary trouble.
"General, are you worried about Uncle Gongsun?"
Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, and then thought that only Xu Rong would call Uncle Gongsun Du to his father, and then said, "It's Tingfang!" Can I help you? ”
Xu Rong didn't have any idea about Gongsun Du's disobedience, he just saw Gongsun Du's wandering in the world, so he just mentioned it in passing, and said at the moment: "General, I don't know if you want to consume these Tuntian soldiers, or do you want to subdue them?" ”
Gongsun Du was thoughtful when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Xu Rong replied: "Liaodong is a famous bitter cold place, most of the people who can't survive in the Central Plains moved, and then multiplied and formed. Therefore, the last general felt that since they were willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light at this time, we could choose to accept them, and it was said that they had a direct hatred for the alien race, and it might be a miracle when we faced the alien race in the future. ”
Gongsun Du thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's right, what you said makes sense." In this way, when you attack the Black Tiger Village tomorrow, you should pay more attention and provide support as soon as possible if necessary, so as to reduce their casualties. ”
"Yes, the last general thanked the general on behalf of all the Tuntian soldiers!" A trace of emotion flashed in Xu Rong's eyes, he felt that this was Gongsun Du's suggestion to him, since the army, he had repeatedly admonished, but only Gongsun Du agreed, and he did not hesitate.
Gongsun Du waved his hand and said: "You reminded you in time, since they are now the Tuntian soldiers under me, they are their own people, and they should not be treated differently." So this is my past, and it has nothing to do with you, so I don't need you to thank you. ”
Xu Rong didn't argue, just said that he was going to inspect the camp and left.
Gongsun Du had nothing to do, just looked at Xu Rong's departing back and shook his head secretly. For Xu Rong's words, he thinks it makes sense, but not everyone will be like this, everyone is different after all, maybe some people like this unfettered life after becoming bandits, and they never want to go back to the previous days of poverty and hunger; In addition, there may be people who have bad intentions, or who are influenced by other reasons, betray their own nation and become spies. Gongsun Du, who has experienced the era of the information explosion, knows that this possibility is not small.
"Tingfang, your intentions are good, but it's a pity...... But that's fine, at least in the future, it's much more likely to be subdued. ”
It's just that then Gongsun Du frowned, and said secretly: "Although Ting Fang is a rare handsome talent, but the lives of the soldiers are equally important, you can't really make them pay a big price, huh...... As long as Tingfang realizes that there is a problem with his decision, the rest should not be necessary, it seems that I have to make second-hand preparations. ”
"General!"
A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, interrupting Gongsun Du's thoughts, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Yang Yi. Gongsun Du just wanted to reply, suddenly, his heart moved, and his gaze changed when he looked at Yangyi, and he carefully looked at Yangyi's whole body up and down, and said in his heart: Well, Zhengyan is my personal soldier, if you want to say confidentiality, it is absolutely enough; And he is the captain of the pro-soldiers, and this matter can also show that he attaches importance to him, lest he always feel that there are only ten people under him, which is not as good as Xu Rong and Liu Yi. Well, yes, that's it.
Yang Yi was looked at by Gongsun Du all over the body, and his gaze seemed to be about to "peel him. Light "in general."
Swallowing his saliva, Yang Yi cautiously asked, "General, what's wrong with not being the last general?" As he spoke, he straightened up the armor on his body.
Although Gongsun Du had made a decision in his heart, he did not plan to give an order to Yang Yi now, first, the decision was only a decision, and it was not completely considered; Second, the most important thing at the moment is to suppress bandits. So he turned his eyes and asked, "What's the matter with finding Ben?" ”
Only then did Yang Yi remember that he had something important to report here, and instantly forgot his previous discomfort, and replied: "General Qiqi, his face became gloomy: "The last general has been entrusted by the general to lose his position, and he did not find out the situation of the Black Tiger Village, but almost lost the men and horses of the pro-soldier team." ”
Gongsun Du was surprised: "What's the matter? ”
Yang Yi hurriedly explained the matter clearly, it turned out that before the army set off, Gongsun Du gave Yang Yi to inquire about the situation of Heihu Village, that is, Wang Heizi's cottage. Yang Yi didn't dare to slack off a little, and immediately sent his right-hand men Wang Er and Li Wu to go, but these two went to Black Tiger Village according to the news from the captives, and when they planned to sneak in to find out the news, they were almost caught.
Caught?
"It seems that there are still leader-level figures in the Black Tiger Village who have escaped!"
Gongsun Du couldn't help squinting his eyes, and then said to Yang Yi: "Zhengyan, go and see Xu Tunchang to check if the camp is over, if not, follow, if it's over, let him come over immediately, and say that there will be something important to discuss." ”
"Yes, General." Yang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, since the last time, he admired Xu Rong very much, and now he has the opportunity to steal the teacher, how can he miss it, so he hurriedly answered and ran away.
Gongsun Du looked at Yang Yi's figure but frowned: "It seems that Zhengyan is not suitable as a person who is hidden in the dark, and he has to find another talent, and the previous consideration was really hasty." ”
Then Gongsun Du began to think about the characters that appeared in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty to see who was suitable!
After thinking about it for a long time, Gongsun Du felt that the most suitable was Jia Xu, who was known as a poisoner. First of all, this person was born early enough, and now he has reached the age of twenty, and is the most likely person to be recruited at this time; Secondly, Jia Xu is most famous not for his strategy, but for protecting himself, and the chance of betrayal is relatively small. You said Zhang Xiu, that guy? Phew, Zhang Xiu won't say anything about his surrender, everyone knows whether he is a qualified lord or not, and besides, Gongsun Du still has the confidence to really recruit Jia Xu to his command, so he is sure to keep it.
However, it is precisely because this person is good at protecting himself that it is difficult for him to take charge of this most suspicious job.
Gongsun Du had a feeling in his heart at this time, if he could go back ten or twenty years, not to mention grabbing a lot of such characters, at least it would not be so difficult to find.
"General, are you looking for me?"
At this time, Xu Rong rushed over and asked Gongsun Du to put the matter aside for the time being.
"Tingfang, here!"
Gongsun Du replied, relayed Yangyi's words before, and then asked, "What do you think?" ”
Xu Rong frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "General, if it weren't for the bandits in the county who got the news that we were going to attack Black Tiger Village and gathered together, it means that there are other leaders in Black Tiger Village who have fled back, and they are still the kind of leaders who have some ability." ”
Gongsun Du nodded and said, "That's right, our army didn't hide it when it went out of the city, and it was normal for the bandits to get the news." And since Liu Yi, who stayed behind in the Liao team, did not have news of being attacked, the possibility of gathering in the Black Tiger Village is really not small. It's just that in this way, for us, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. ”
"Although our army is elite, but in the end there are two hundred people, those Tuntian soldiers training time is too short, it is not yet useful, originally I wanted to intimidate the Black Tiger Village with numbers, it is best to make it surrender, even if it can't, it can also deter its heart. However, if they really gathered together now, I am afraid that the number of people besieging Liaodong by the five major bandits before would be much higher, or even exceeding. ”
"The only advantage is that we can complete the battle in one battle, so that there will be no more bandits in the Liao army, at least no more bandits."
Xu Rong had not yet said anything about Gongsun Du's words, but Yang Yi, who came with Xu Rong, opened his mouth directly: "General, is this too much to worry about?" We were able to defeat the two thousand men and horses of the five bandits before, kill hundreds, and capture thousands, even if we can gather about the same number of people now, is it possible that we can be more powerful than the five bandits? ”
"Humph!"
Gongsun Du snorted coldly, and was about to scold, but he didn't want Xu Rong to say: "General, when Captain Yang said this, the last general feels that there is some truth. ”
"Huh?" Gongsun Du's face softened slightly when he heard this, and then he fell into deep thought. Yangyi can't be trusted, but Xu Rong is different, since he said so, there must be a reason.
Yang Yi's face was smug, and the corners of his mouth were upturned. Obviously, Xu Rong's approval is a great encouragement to him, although it is not as good as Gongsun Du, but it is also very good, and it is already higher than Liu Yi.
