Chapter Twenty-Nine: First Acquaintance with Gongsun Zhan

The group arrived in the dining room, and the table was already full of delicacies. Jiang Chen said an invitation to Tang Zheng and Gongsun Zhan, and invited Gongsun Zhan to sit in the first place, and he and Tang Zheng sat on both sides.

The three of them talked about the situation today, and when the topic came to the situation today, Gongsun Chan put down his chopsticks and said: "If there are internal worries and external difficulties today, the imperial court has used troops against the Hu people every year over the years, resulting in the imperial court now being unable to make ends meet, and the people are miserable. Now the saint is deceived by traitors, and he has long lost the sharpness when he first ascended the throne, and now he only cares about enjoying himself in the West Garden, so I am afraid that the Han Dynasty will be destroyed in the hands of the saint sooner or later, and we generals can only guard the territory of the Han Dynasty for the saint and strive not to lose an inch of land. ”

"General Gongsun said too much, although now the saint is abandoning the government, he is just being deceived by the villain, once he wakes up in the future, he will definitely return the Han to a bright future." Jiang Chen disagreed with Gongsun Zhan's statement, so he retorted.

"Don't you see what it has become like today, I have met displaced people all the way from Liangzhou, and there is not one in ten places in the huge county of Liangzhou, except for the places near the county town. If the Holy One doesn't wake up again, I think the world will be over. ”

"Brother Gongsun, today we won't talk about business, nothing else. The younger brother had long heard that the three thousand white horse soldiers under the eldest brother Gongsun were extremely fierce and abnormal, and they were rare cavalry. The younger brother wants to go to the army of Brother Gongsun to have a look, but I don't know if Brother Gongsun can allow it. Tang Zheng diverted the topic, although he knew more about Gongsun Chan in history, but he didn't dare to fully believe what was recorded in the history books for the Gongsun Chan who appeared in front of him.

The history books are all written by later generations, and the interval is not said for hundreds of years, in case there is too much difference from what the history books say, and I don't know how to be pitted at that time.

"It's not a difficult thing, since Brother Tang wants to go to the barracks to have a look, I'll take you there tomorrow. It's just that Brother Tang himself is also very unusual for the military formation, I heard that Brother Tang has a heavy armored soldier called the Modao Battalion who is very extraordinary, and the cavalry of the Yellow Turban bandits is holding their heads and stringing around. Did Brother Tang want to abandon the infantry and rebuild the cavalry? Gongsun Zhan asked Tang Zheng.

"Don't hide it from Brother Gongsun, although the Modao Battalion is not afraid of anyone in a head-to-head duel, but once the enemy is defeated, it will look at the enemy helplessly."

"Oh, what's going on, it stands to reason that the enemy has been defeated, and this is the best time to expand the gains."

"Brother Gongsun, do you know that in order to improve the combat effectiveness, the Modao Battalion has put a lot of effort into weapons and armor, and the reason why the Modao Battalion can resist the cavalry on the opposite side depends on the armor worn by the soldiers of the Modao Battalion, a set of heavy armor of the Modao Battalion is 48 catties plus more than a dozen catties of Modao, you said that after a big battle, how much physical strength do the soldiers have to pursue the enemy. Not to mention that the Mo Dao soldiers in the front row also carried a big shield. Tang Zheng smiled bitterly.

"It may not be a problem to use it to engage the enemy head-on, but it can't be done right now to pursue the enemy's Modao battalion."

"That's right, sacrificing speed to improve the survival of the warriors, so it's really only suitable for head-on combat with the enemy, not for mobile combat, let alone chasing the enemy."

"So I want to learn from Brother Gongsun that such as a cavalry like Brother Gongsun's White Horse Righteous Army."

"That's easy, I'll take you to our army tomorrow to have a look, and if you find any talent, I'll also borrow you to train a strong cavalry."

"If this is the case, the little brother will thank Brother Gongsun first, come, Brother Gongsun, and the little brother will do it first as a respect." Tang Zheng saluted Gongsun Zan with a wine glass, and then drank it all.

Tang Zheng was dizzy when he returned to his barracks, he didn't expect Gongsun Zhan's amount of wine to be so good, a jar of wine was seven or eight catties, and he was drunk by the three of them, mainly because the two of them drank it again, and Jiang Chen didn't drink much.

I have been trained by high alcohol in later generations, but I didn't expect to be almost planted in front of Gongsun Zhan. Tang Zheng asked Wu Yifan to be called, and if he wanted to form a new cavalry, Wu Yifan couldn't get around it.

Tang Zheng thought about it, and by the way, he asked people to call everything in. After a while, everyone arrived, and looked at Tang Zheng lying on the chair with the smell of alcohol as if he was asleep.

Zhang Chao was about to step forward to wake up Tang Zheng, but was stopped by Cheng Pu. Everyone found a chair and sat down, waiting for Tang Zheng to come.

During this time, Tang Zheng was busy extinguishing the Yellow Turban and the like, so he didn't rest well, although he had already rested for two days, but thinking about the upcoming invasion of 100,000 Wuhuan, Tang Zheng's pressure can be imagined, how can he rest well.

I just drank a little wine today, and after the stimulation of alcohol, my spirit was completely relaxed, and when Tang Zheng finished speaking, he lay on the chair and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took for Tang Zheng to wake up faintly, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he saw everyone sitting on the chair and looking at him.

"I'm really sorry to bother you big brother for a long time." Everyone shook their heads slightly, but didn't say anything.

Tang Zheng couldn't help but turn his head to Zhang Chao and said, "How long have you been here, why don't you wake me up." ”

"Tang Gongzi, don't blame Zhang Chao, we didn't let him wake you up. It's not good to disturb you to watch you sleep soundly, and you haven't had a good rest during this time. Wu Yifan said to this Tang Zheng: "I don't know what Brother Tang called us to do." ”

"Since everyone is due, I will tell you what happened today, and by the way, make arrangements for our future development." Tang Zheng said to everyone, by the way, today the imperial court appointed him as the lieutenant of Youbeiping Nongdu.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Tang Zheng in unison, among which Cheng Pu was the most surprised.

Tang Zheng was recommended by himself to become a county lieutenant, and now that he has become a captain, he is just a small county lieutenant.

Even if it was the original overhead Xu County Order, there was Tang Zheng's help. Thinking of this, not only did he not feel unhappy, but felt that all this was what his brother deserved, he had long known that his brother was a person with great ability, and now that he was finally justified, he was also happy for Tang Zheng.

The second most complicated is Wu Yifan, when he first arrived in Rinshan City, he still felt that Tang Zheng was just a small county lieutenant, how could he say that he was also a general stationed at the border pass, in his opinion, the relationship between him and Tang Zheng was more like cooperation, he fought for Tang Zheng, and Tang Zheng provided a place for him and his subordinates.

Now that he sees that Tang Zheng is already a lieutenant appointed by the imperial court, it is time for him to think about the way out with his brothers, once Tang Zheng reaches the time when he has more talents under him, I am afraid that Tang Zheng will not look at it in his eyes.

Tang Zheng didn't know that Wu Yifan was thinking so much, seeing that everyone was very happy for him, he also felt that all this was finally hard to come by, and all the busy work was worth it.

"In addition to announcing the appointment of the imperial court to me, I also want to say one thing when I am called here today, and that is about cavalry." After Tang Zheng finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Yifan, and Wu Yifan also saw Tang Zheng looking at him: "Tang Duwei, if you have anything, just say it directly, and I will arrange my old Wu's affairs without saying a word, and I will definitely arrange it for Du Wei." Wu Yifan also knew that now was the time to express his position, and instead of icing on the cake, it was better to send charcoal in the snow when Tang Zheng didn't have many people.

"What do you mean by this, Brother Wu, are you laughing at the little brother?" Tang Zheng said to Wu Yifan: "No matter what position the junior brother is in, all of you here are my Tang Zheng's life and death brothers, and the matter of sealing the official today is not to show off anything to everyone, but to tell everyone what we will do in the future It is justified, forget it this time, if Brother Wu still calls him like this next time, then don't blame the little brother for being angry." Wu Yifan looked at Tang Zheng and found that what he said didn't look like a fake, so he couldn't help but smile apologetically at Tang Zheng.

"Today, Gongsun Chan brought three thousand cavalry from Liangzhou, I think you all know about it, I want to know what you think of the three thousand cavalry." Tang Zheng said to everyone.

"I know this, Gongsun Chan also relied on these 3,000 men and horses to attack, these 3,000 cavalry is called Baima Yi Congjun, I heard that there are a lot of Hu people in it, but their combat power is really strong, the rebellion in the Liangzhou area of Bian Zhang Han Sui and his ilk can only defend and have no power to fight back, I heard that it will not take long for Bian Zhang Han Sui to be pacified, I didn't expect him to bring troops to Xu Wu." Han Dang said, his eyes full of yearning.

"He invited me to visit his army tomorrow, and told me that as long as I value the soldiers, they can lend me them and help us train a cavalry." Tang Zheng said that everyone here already understood his thoughts.

At this time, Wu Yifan said: "Brother Tang, I will accompany you to his military camp tomorrow, I still know a little about cavalry." ”

"Well, I also have this intention, I mean to go to their military camp first to see if we can find a few talents, our subordinates know the way of cavalry are Brother Wu and Guo Mingda, and Brother Xu is only proficient in the way of foot combat. Now we don't feel anything if there are few of us, and one day when there are more of us, we will not be enough to see, so I want to take advantage of the white horse to go to Gongsun Zhan now to recruit a few from the army. Tang Zheng said.

Everyone also agreed, Tang Zheng is now promoted to the lieutenant of Youbeiping, then he has to think about the safety of Youbeiping, with this point of men and horses now, he will definitely not be able to protect the entire Youbeiping, so it is inevitable to go back to recruit troops this time.

After some discussion, everyone felt that they could see if they could find Gongsun Chan to get a batch of war horses, the kind of heavy cavalry that Tang Zheng said last time that the war horses and soldiers were in armor should also be put on the agenda, and they had been suffering from the lack of good war horses before, but now there is a person who hopes to get a large number of good war horses, of course, everyone is not willing to let it go, and they have asked Tang Zheng to ask Gongsun Chan tomorrow to see if he is willing to help.

Everything is decided like this, whether you can get a war horse or not depends on Tang Zheng tomorrow.
