Chapter 268: Drill into the tip of the horns
Gongsun Jian sighed after looking around, there were 10,000 people and ten captains when it was broken, but now there are only seven captains, except for the three who died, and some of them must have no soldiers under them.
"There is no one under your command anymore, and now it's the captain of the air power who raises his hand."
The three of them raised their hands in unison, and one of them said: "The last general is not considered the captain of the air power, and there are more than 280 people under his command, which is about the same as the air power." ”
Gongsun Jian nodded, the army of a thousand people is less than three hundred, and there is no establishment, and it is almost the same as air power.
"If you are such a hollow power, Lao Tzu will have no more than a hundred people left!"
At this time, another person raised his hand and shouted loudly, the person who raised his hand before smiled helplessly, and now in this miserable situation, no one has the leisure time to quarrel, this miserable is really miserable, and no one wants to be the winner.
"That's four people."
Gongsun Jian calculated in his heart, there were about 6,000 people, and there were seven captains, of which four were almost unavailable, that is to say, between these 6,000 people and the other three, some captains had almost no dead men, and some soldiers had no captains.
After all, the army is divided into three armies, the front, the middle and the rear, and every time the two armies collide, the casualties of the front army are particularly tragic, followed by the small casualties of the Chinese army, and the rear army can hardly see the shadow of the enemy, and the rear army may have to retreat from the rear army to the front army.
On the battlefield, once the rear army also joins the battle, it is enough to show that this fight has reached a white-hot stage, and the winner is about to be decided.
Gongsun Jian opened his mouth and said: "Now there are 6,000 people, and there are seven captains, you make up for each other, and share some of them to the captains who have no military power, according to the future, each of the seven of you will bring 800 people, how about it?" ”
The four captains who had no soldiers to use naturally had no opinions, but the other three had a bad face, and no one was willing to divide their soldiers, but because of Gongsun Jian's face, he didn't have much to say.
Gongsun Jian smiled bitterly, "You all have to bear more, after all, now we are a whole, if we don't unite at this time, I'm afraid that even if you have power in your hands, you will have nowhere to go, and you will be trapped and die here, please take the overall situation first." ”
"The overall situation is okay, is this division of troops, will it be returned to us after rushing out?"
One of them, who seemed to be in good spirits and had not been injured much, muttered and bargained.
"I've been thinking about military power before I even fought? At the beginning, he was a brother and sister with Lao Tzu who ate and drank well, but now that Lao Tzu has no one under him, he began to settle accounts clearly, Zhang Wenkui, but you really have you, if you lose this battle, you have a lot of responsibility, and you still want military power when the time comes? Let's go down to the underworld to find the king of Hades! ”
"Don't talk about me, and don't put this big hat on Lao Tzu's head, we are not children anymore, we know it, if we change it, are you willing to divide the troops?"
"Lao Tzu is willing, what's wrong with you?"
"Hey, you're talking."
"Enough!"
Cao Ying rebuked with an annoyed expression, "The enemy is still trying to fight once?" ”
Gongsun Jian frowned, he still underestimated the status of military power in the hearts of the captains, he has never led soldiers until now, this is the first time, and he doesn't feel how reluctant he is to take 10,000 people, if Liu Qingyun urgently borrows people and horses from him, if he has no urgent matter, he is very willing to lend these 10,000 people, how can it be so difficult to deal with the matter of a small number of soldiers and horses.
At this time, another person who still had military power in his hands spoke out and played a round field, he said: "Don't quarrel with the two of you, Zhang Wenkui, just like you said, everyone is not a child anymore, and they all know it, the three of us basically didn't contribute much in the rear army, and there are basically about 900 people under our hands, and it is not difficult to assign more than 100 people to several other captains, and most of them are the soldiers and horses of those dead captains." In this way, I, Liu Qianshan, expressed my attitude, I am willing to shrink my troops and horses, and take out all the extra ones. ”
Zhang Wenkui pouted, "Okay, okay, you are all good people, just Lao Tzu alone is a bad person, it's weird, Lao Tzu just asked if he could let those soldiers be organized after rushing out, so he just troubled Lao Tzu one by one, special mother, my captain is gone, and all the 800 or so people under my command are taken out, it's okay, it just happens that you have six captains and 1,000 people, how comfortable, Wang Yong, am I right." ”
The man who quarreled with Zhang Wenkui before blushed, didn't know what to say, and laughed, "If you ask me what to do, I have to listen to General Gongsun's ......."
Liu Qianshan, who took the lead in expressing his position, said again: "Okay Zhang Wenkui, don't go online, Wang Yong is a tendon, he is the only surviving captain in the former army, and it is understandable to say a few words with some emotions." ”
When Wang Yong heard someone say bad things about him, he first glared, then touched his head, and glanced at Zhang Wenkui apologetically.
Gongsun Jian looked at the captains who started the fire and put out the fire by themselves, and chuckled, "Everyone, please rest assured, my Gongsun Jian is not a person who is greedy for power, nor is he a child, if he really rushes out, Gongsun will definitely return all the people and horses of all the departments, and then ask General Yu to ask for a few thousand people, and then replenish our army after the break, rest assured, my Gongsun Jian is not a master who loves to suffer, and he will never let you suffer." ”
Zhang Wenkui smiled, "Then it's all up to General Gongsun's orders, and I'll transfer the men and horses later." ”
That Wang Yong touched his head, folded his fingers and calculated, "No, General Gongsun, there are still 400 people left after these 6,000 people are separated, what should I do with these 400 people?" ”
Gongsun Jian said: "I will take these four hundred people with me, and I have a plan for the night!" ”
Sure enough, there is still a big task today, and even General Gongsun has to personally lead the team.
Zhang Wenkui asked: "General Gongsun, when is the attack, you can arrange it, we can prepare." ”
Gongsun Jian shook his head, "It can't be arranged for the time being, by the way, Zhang Wenkui, if I'm not mistaken, you were under the management of General Cao before, right?" ”
At the beginning, after Yu Youjun sent Gongsun Jian to break off with Cao Ying, although Gongsun Jian was the main general, it was actually the troops drawn from the Left Route Army, and Cao Ying and Zhang Da were in charge of the Left Route Army, so they naturally had a direct relationship with some of the captains present.
Cao Ying nodded, "Indeed, this is my subordinate in the Left Route Army. ”
"Then Chief Xu Tun is Zhang Wenkui, your subordinate?"
Gongsun Jian tilted his head and said with a smile: "Fang is my negligence, I thought that Xu Tunchang was General Cao's subordinate, and Zhang Wenkui was also General Cao's subordinate, I thought that Xu Tunchang was under Zhang Wenkui's control, and I almost forgot that there were many of General Cao's descendants." ”
Zhang Wenkui also laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, General Gongsun is talking about Xu Daning, after all, this tun chief is recognized as brave, and his brain is also very useful, and the last general is preparing to ask General Cao to recommend General Yu and give Xu Daning another rank." ”
"I don't think I need to mention it again."
Cao Ying sneered, "Zhang Wenkui, you are not optimistic about your subordinates. ”
Gongsun Jian secretly brought back the short soldiers of Xishu, only Cao Ying knew about it, and Gongsun Jian also told Cao Ying about his suspicions, and Cao Ying was holding his breath for a long time and had no place to lie.
"General Cao, what's wrong with Xu Daning...... Did you do something wrong, the last general will now call him to personally beat him dozens of boards, so that he can have a long memory! ”
Cao Ying's expression was cold, "I'm afraid dozens of boards are not enough." ”
"What's going on?"
Zhang Wenkui saw that General Cao and General Gongsun's expressions were solemn and cold, and he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Gongsun Jian said lightly: "Ben will suspect Xu Daning of collaborating with the enemy, so, Zhang Wenkui, you bring Xu Daning over, and I will ask him again." ”
Zhang Wenkui was like being struck by lightning after hearing this, Xu Daning is the person he cultivated the most, and he also thinks that he has the best future, and he also told Xu Daning a lot of secret military information, in case Xu Daning really collaborated with the enemy, but it was a big deal, he hurriedly got up and ran away, "There must be some misunderstanding in it, the last general will go and call that kid over and ask him face to face!" ”
Cao Ying walked up to Gongsun Jian and whispered in his ear, "Is there really conclusive evidence?" Just easily believe that Xishu rebel? ”
"Nope."
Cao Ying looked surprised, "That's ......"
Gongsun Jian's expression was cold, "General Cao, I trust my judgment very much, and please don't be rash, I will have my own opinions later." ”
"I hope it's true, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Gongsun Jian shook his head, "I hope it's fake, but it's true." ”
It didn't take much effort, and Zhang Wenkui, who was angry, escorted Xu Daning, who was at a loss, to the edge of the cliff, kicked Xu Daning's hind legs, made him kneel to the ground, and reprimanded loudly: "Say! ”
Xu Daning slurred, "General Zhang...... What to say ......"
"What mistake did you make to make General Gongsun and General Cao so angry, tell me honestly, Ben will still be able to protect you."
This Zhang Wenkui is also smart, not because Xu Daning is his most optimistic subordinate, he did not directly tell Xu Daning that he was suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and wanted Gongsun Jian to ask in person, so as not to let Xu Daning have too much time to respond, once there are signs that he can't answer the next words, he can basically determine the fact that Xu Daning collaborated with the enemy.
Xu Daning looked at Gongsun Jian with some fear, his head shrank, and he gritted his teeth and said: "If General Gongsun delayed the time because his subordinates were probing for information, and later he turned his anger on General Zhang, General Gongsun didn't have to be like this, if there was something to do with his subordinates." ”
Gongsun Jian smiled, "You love the Lord, I don't know if you are so loyal to your other masters." ”
Xu Daning was stunned for a moment, and then said: "My subordinates don't know what General Gongsun is talking about. ”
Gongsun Jian pursed his lips, bared his teeth and smiled again, and said to Cao Ying: "General Cao, when did you know that Zhong Guan divided the spear army into four ways to intercept the Zhongzhou army?" ”
Cao Ying thought for a moment, "When you were exploring before noon, General Gongsun said that. ”
"Then why didn't you find out that the spear army was divided into four ways, General Cao?"
After speaking, Gongsun Jian added: "I don't mean anything else, just ask." ”
"They barely talk about it, and the only thing they can talk about is the current situation, so I haven't found out."
"That's right."
Gongsun Jian said: "Because when Zhong Guan divided the spear army into four roads, several days have passed, and this person has a common problem, that is, when he is bored to talk, he either talks about what happened for a long time, or he talks about the present, and he will talk about the things of the previous day when there is no topic, and now they are talking about the present, so no one in the enemy army discusses what happened a few days ago." ”
Cao Ying suddenly realized, and his heart suddenly became clear.
Gongsun Jian looked at Xu Daning, "When you came back at the last time, after you said that Lu Yi was born, you blurted out "break through this reinforcement", how did you know that there were other reinforcements?" ”
Xu Daning raised his head and said quietly: "My subordinates went to the area around the enemy's tent to investigate intelligence, and there is more news over there, so I know that Zhong Guan is divided into four ways, is this also wrong." ”
"That's right, of course!"
Gongsun Jian laughed and applauded, "I grabbed a tongue, that tongue said that the Xishu tent is inside the army, I want to know how Xu Tunchang broke through the heavy guards and mixed into the big tent, you might as well teach us the Zhongzhou sergeants, so that you can go out without knowing without fighting." ”
