Chapter 56: The Comeback (Part II)
Li Dang was so angry that he yelled and scolded, but Wu Meng hurriedly stopped it. Geng Gong frowned, and sighed: "It seems that what Brother Meng said is true, Chen Duhu and Captain Guan are worried about the two things of making a military order against me and recovering Wusun, in fact, I only know how to be loyal to the country, how can I have the slightest idea of monopolizing military merits?" It's really unpredictable, and it's hard to follow the sea. Geng Gong remembered that his brother Geng Bing repeatedly advised him to walk on thin ice and be on the edge of the abyss, and then he had a deep understanding, but with his own character, how can he do it? I was full of sadness for a while.
Wu Meng saw that Geng Gong was disappointed, and was silent for a long time, and asked with concern: "Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Geng Gong stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said, "What if Chen Mu and Guan Pet don't send troops?" Borrowing 100,000 soldiers from Wusun and uniting with Brother Banchao, you can also level the Western Regions! Li Dang raised the Xuantie knife and said loudly: "Brother is right, Chen Mu and Guan Pet are birds, if they don't send troops, we can beat Yanqi to the ground!" ”
Geng Gong went to the palace of Wusun and asked for 100,000 soldiers, and Yuan Xingzi readily agreed. On this day, Geng Gong and Wu Meng checked the geography of the march and discussed the military situation, and suddenly two messengers of the Che Division, their faces were full of dust, their clothes were torn, and they rushed in anxiously, Geng Gong was surprised: "What is it, so urgent?" ”
An envoy said in a panic: "General Geng, it's not good, it's not good!" The Huns, the Huns attacked the chariot division, the backyard has fallen, the soldiers have arrived in the vestibule, the former king Ande held the city wall, supervised the battle day and night, it is precarious, please send troops back quickly! ”
Geng Xiang was shocked, stood up and said, "How many Xiongnu are there?" The messenger said: "All over the world, countless, all of them are Hun people!" ”
Geng Gong inquired carefully, and said excitedly: "Two messengers, but please rest assured, you have worked hard all the way, so take a little rest tonight." Tomorrow, you return to the Cheshi and tell Ande that no matter how many soldiers the Huns come, only teach me that Geng Gong has a breath of air, and he will not ignore it, and he will expel the Huns from the Cheshi! The two messengers thanked them and went back to rest.
Geng Gong sat down heavily, and said anxiously: "I have sent troops to probe, the last time I killed more than half of the Huns, the Huns fled all the way, and they retreated in the area of Jiankun, they were already afraid and timid, how could they dare to send troops again?" Therefore, I am relieved to come to attack Wusun, and then I want to pacify Qiuzi and Yanqi, sweep the Western Regions, and then turn around to destroy the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu can not be enemies of the Han for generations! However, why did the Huns go out at this time and attack the chariot division directly. Obviously, this is a ploy to encircle Wei and save Zhao, forcing us to give up attacking Qiuzi and Yanqi, among the Huns, except for King Huyan who has this strategy? Why is this happening? ”
Wu Meng raised his head and said slowly: "I'm afraid that there will be a traitor!" ”
"No matter how much! Brother Meng, you summoned Fan Qiang, Li Kang, and Gao Yuan to come, and everyone discussed and discussed. Wu Meng got the order and turned around and left the tent.
All the generals arrived, Geng Gong said that after the Huns attacked the Che Division on a large scale, the atmosphere in the tent suddenly froze, everyone knows that this time the Huns are coming back, they must be prepared, and it is very dangerous! But Li dared to try it and said loudly: "Brother, what are you afraid of him doing?" The more people the Huns come, the better, Lao Tzu killed him seven in and seven out, leaving no armor, and let out the evil spirit in Lao Tzu's heart! Geng Gong didn't answer, got up and paced back and forth a few steps, and asked: "The driver is in danger, let's talk about it, save it or not?" ”
Shi Xiu said: "The Huns are overwhelming, and our army is only 2,000, how can we go to the ambulance?" After the Xiongnu conquered the Che Division, they would inevitably attack Jinmancheng, Jinmancheng was surrounded by plains, easy to attack and difficult to defend, Zhang Feng only had 500 troops, which was difficult to support. General Geng, it is better to return to the army Jinmancheng, fortify the city and defend itself, and then send people to Yumen Pass for help. ”
Gao Yuan said: "What Shi Xiu said is, how can we save us with such a small number of soldiers?" Haven't you driven sheep into the mouth of the tiger? Surrendered. Li Dare glared and shouted: "Gao Yuan, you are usually not afraid of anything, there are so many Huns, are you also afraid?" Say, did Gao Feng teach you to be so bold? Gao Yuan opened his mouth to refute, Geng Gong made a move, and Gao Yuan hurriedly closed his mouth. Geng Gong asked, "Wu Meng, what is your opinion?" ”
"Big brother, the ambulance, you will definitely die! However, my Han has always been known for his benevolence and trustworthiness, if he does not save the chariot division and sit back and watch the chariot division be wiped out by the Xiongnu, the countries of the Western Regions will be cold, especially those countries that have returned to Shache, Khotan, Wusun, etc., what will they think of our country? How can a country without responsibility, responsibility, and blood make other countries submit? By then, the Xiongnu had not yet arrived, and all these countries had surrendered to the Xiongnu. At that time, the situation was even more severe, and it was even more unfavorable for the Han army! ”
"Exactly!" Fan Qiang said loudly: "Wu Meng is right! The most important thing is to tell the countries of the Western Regions that my Han has integrity and responsibility, no matter what difficulties he encounters, he will never abandon the Western Regions, even if he is not protected, he will not care about himself! When the countries of the Western Regions see this, they will be very moved, and they will submit to our country from generation to generation. Geng Gong was overjoyed and said, "Not bad! In the past, when my younger brother and I were discussing the world, we said that the Western Regions had no credit, and we went back and forth to surrender and rebel, and there was no conclusion in the end. To descend to the Western Regions, it is necessary to use both grace and power, and to appease and suppress it appropriately, so that it cannot rebel, dare not rebel, and does not want to rebel. In this way, the Western Regions can forever submit to our country, become an important town in the northwest border of our country, and become a strategic buffer zone to resist all foreign attacks! Now, the Huns are coming, yes, all over the world, countless, and the chariot division is in danger. From the perspective of the overall situation, even if our entire army is annihilated, we must tell the countries of the Western Regions with integrity and blood that I, the warriors of the Han Dynasty, will not abandon or abandon any country at any time! When the generals heard this, their blood boiled, they took out their weapons, slashed on the ground, and said vigorously: "Break your bones and move forward bravely!" ”。
Geng Gong said slowly: "Who wants to lead three hundred troops to the ambulance?" ”
Before the words fell, one person responded: "I am willing to go!" Geng Gong looked at it, but it was Wu Meng, and Yu Jiang also responded: "I am also willing to go!" "The candle flame was blazing, reflecting every excited face. For the sake of the country and the people, these warriors, with high ambitions, regardless of life and death, stepped forward! Geng Gong looked at it, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten.
