Chapter 0406: Donghao Strengthens the Army
Before the Goguryeo soldiers could react, some soldiers rushed in like tigers and wolves, knocked them down one by one, and put them on the ground, they were all stunned, completely unaware of what they had done wrong, and loudly scolded the Han army, and some also incited the Donghao people around them, the Han army was going to kill them all, and wanted them to help.
It's a pity that they are surrounded by Donghao people, even if these Donghao people are afraid to death, they still don't have any idea of resisting or uniting to make trouble, they all squatted on the ground, their eyes were full of horror and despair, Goguryeo people scolded in their hearts, you tens of thousands of people, why are you so cowardly, after Lu Bu captured them one by one, he smiled coldly.
"You don't have to defend yourself, that envoy has already served me in secret, and I already know your true identity!"
Hearing him say this, these Goguryeo people fell silent, and began to abuse again, only begging for death, unwilling to endure humiliation and steal life, hearing their appearance, Lu Bu knew that he had not arrested the wrong person, and asked them to quickly examine them, ask them about their goals and tasks, as for the other Donghao people, they could not relax their care, and gave them food and let them rest in the tent.
These Goguryeo people, there are probably hundreds, and the number is indeed quite a lot, but they can be reused by the king of Goguryeo, which means that they are not wine bags and rice bags, most of them are soldiers who have gone through a hundred battles, no matter how they are pressed, they are silent, even if they are executed, they can't get words out of their mouths.
Hundreds, no matter what, not a single one spoke, but they all cursed to the death.
Even if they are enemies, Huangfu Song and others are also respectful of them, if Goguryeo is all such soldiers, I am afraid that the war will be troublesome, but Lu Bu has experience in fighting with them, he knows that these soldiers are the elite of Goguryeo, and their ordinary soldiers definitely do not have such courage, and in the end, Zhang Wen ordered them to be buried.
Their persistence was appreciated by Zhang Wen and others, even if they were enemies of themselves.
In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Wen ordered the Han soldiers everywhere to be prepared to avoid a surprise attack, under his order, the Han troops everywhere immediately made preparations, and Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song also returned to their respective points first, leaving only Lu Bu and did not return, this is because, in the cold winter season, the road from Goguryeo to Donghao was covered with heavy snow.
If the Goguryeo people attacked from here, it would be suicide.
Therefore, LΓΌ Bu stayed by Zhang Wen's side, waiting for the dispatch, and really, as Zhang Wen thought, at night, the Han scouts found a large number of cavalry gathered outside the belt, Zhang Wen was unwilling to introduce the war into Youzhou, and directly ordered the soldiers to launch an offensive, and the king of Goguryeo personally went into battle, originally waiting for the agreed moment, ready to launch an attack, but did not want to, they suddenly suffered an attack from the Han army.
Suddenly, there was a scuffle, the king of Goguryeo knew in his heart that the plan failed, he was not depressed, and immediately wanted to flee, but was bitten by the Han army, Lu Bu led the cavalry to continue to chase and kill, forcing the king of Goguryeo to endure the pain and leave an elite broken queen, and he led the rest of the soldiers to flee the battlefield quickly, on the frontal battlefield, they were not the opponents of the Han army.
In just one battle, Goguryeo suffered heavy casualties and paid the price of thousands of people.
This made the king of Goguryeo understand that he could not fight the Han army head-on, however, Zhang Wen and Zhang Taiwei were obviously much more difficult than he thought, and at the same time as the two sides were fighting, Zhang Wen ordered Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song to attack at the same time, to constantly reduce their scope of survival, and take advantage of the emptiness in their rear to take more military points.
In addition, it was he who sent envoys to Buyeo to cut off Goguryeo's way of life from behind.
Dong Zhuo set out from Sanhan, Huangfu Song set out from Xinqinzhong, the two armies, like a bamboo, only suffered a few small-scale battles, obtained a large number of military points, according to the order of the Taiwei, the two armies joined forces with Goguryeo's Juancheng, completely cut Goguryeo from the middle, cut into two parts, so that the north and the south lost contact.
But the king of Goguryeo was trapped in this huge encirclement, Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen, these three armies, surrounded the king of Goguryeo, after that, Zhang Wen did not rush to order another attack, but asked Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song to guard these important places, can not let go of the king of Goguryeo, after losing the connection with the royal city, as well as the materials in the north, he does not believe that the army of the king of Goguryeo can support for too long!
Surrounded by enemies in his own territory, this is what the king of Goguryeo did not expect, Zhang Wen battled, has always been to pay attention to the overall situation, his vision is very long-term, several armies, in his hands, with extremely flexible, he did not value small battles, he only dragged the king of Goguryeo, then quickly mobilized Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, limited Goguryeo to the southern region.
Under the rapid march of Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, the king of Goguryeo did not even find himself surrounded, and when he lost contact with the royal city, it was already too late, he could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests by virtue of his familiarity with the terrain, hoping to change the situation in these places through the victory of some small battles, but unfortunately, Zhang Wen did not give him this opportunity at all.
first trapped him for half a month, and then, he began to compress the entire encirclement unhurriedly, approaching step by step, shrinking little by little, which made the king of Goguryeo a little desperate, he also launched several breakthroughs, but he couldn't break through the encirclement of the Han army at all, and the encirclement of the Han army is getting smaller and smaller, even if he can hide again, one day, he will encounter the combined encirclement of these three armies.
After being pressed by the Han army, the king of Goguryeo thought for a long time, and finally made a decision, he scattered the entire army of 30,000 and fled from the encirclement of the Han army.
But he didn't expect that now he ended up like this, and he also had great courage, so he directly ordered the soldiers to disperse and began to flee.
In such a situation, the situation was somewhat unfavorable for the Han army, because Goguryeo was mountainous, and while the Han army narrowed the encirclement, it was impossible not to leave a gap for one or two people to pass through, and the idle soldiers of Goguryeo were mixed with the local people, constantly fleeing from these gaps, and after being captured a few people, Dong Zhuo and others suddenly realized that they no longer forced the encirclement, but strengthened the encirclement.
However, it's a pity that they woke up a little late, they didn't expect that the enemy chief still had such courage, directly disbanded the army, sought a breakthrough from everywhere, and even some people fled to Youzhou, where they did evil, and were captured by the county soldiers, Zhang Wen was also a little helpless about this, they were not locals after all, after thinking for a long time, he remembered that he wanted to make good use of those Donghao people!
"Fengxian, if I want to use the Donghao people as a military brigade, I will take you as a captain...."
Lu Bu shook his head in horror and said, "I'm good at cavalry, I'm afraid I can't lead it...."
"Fengxian, even if the Donghao people can't fight, they are extremely familiar with the terrain, as long as they can find out the location and route of the fleeing Goguryeo soldiers from all over the country, and tell the Han army, you are the most brave... Intrigue is unparalleled..."
If Zhang Wen praised Lu Bu like this on weekdays, Lu Bu would definitely agree, even if Zhang Wen asked him to cut down the king of Goguryeo alone, he would not back down, but at this moment, he really didn't want to lead an army of Donghao people, even if he gave himself some of the Hun cavalry under Dong Zhuo? He thought for a long time, and said a little solemnly: "Zhang Gong, there is a word, I hope Gong will listen quietly." β
"I don't know Donghao's words, generals can't communicate, it can be described as a taboo for soldiers, I have a brave temperament, Donghao is cowardly, if I am a general, I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead, and I am not willing to bear the crime of killing soldiers, but I have a person who can be used by the public!"
"Who?" Zhang Wen asked with some confusion.
"This person is a native of Youzhou, who has lived with Cao Cao for a long time and Sanhan, and appointed with Donghao, who is familiar with Donghao's language, is brave and difficult to be, is good at riding and shooting, and is called Gongsun Zhan, the word Bogui! Cao Cao went to Luoyang, and this person served as a military marquis under my account! I recommend this person, and he can definitely be a school captain! Lu Bu said confidently.
When Lu Bu said this, Zhang Wen was also a little curious, and said with a smile: "Then bring him..."
Soon after, a burly, bearded man walked into the camp tent and bowed to Zhang Wen, he didn't know why the captain wanted to meet him, his heart was full of doubts, and he was a little excited, this is the captain of the Han Dynasty, he is in charge of the national military, he is just a small military marquis, looking at the profound appearance of Lu Bu, could it be that the captain has discovered his talent?
Or did the Son of Heaven inform the Captain?
When he went to Luoyang now, he had met the current son who was still the crown prince.
Zhang Wen looked the young man in front of him up and down, and said with a smile: "You are Gongsun Zhan?" β
"Exactly!"
"Okay...."Zhang Wen was very satisfied with his appearance, quite a general, which was very good, and he said: "If I take you as a captain, how will you stay?" β
Hearing Zhang Wen ask, Gongsun Zhan raised his head suddenly, trembling with excitement all over his body, and said, "It will be a death!" β
"Hahaha, do you know Donghao?"
"Know!"
"Okay, I'll build a new battalion, and it will be in the name of the Huangfu Song garrison, for the Xiaoyong battalion, and you will be the captain of the Xiaoyong... You can get military supplies from Tao Qian, and then ask Lu Bu to take you to check out the new army later! β
"Thank you, Captain!!"
Gongsun Zhan said excitedly, his opportunity to make meritorious service has finally come, he is a proud and strong person, since the Taiwei trusts him so much, he must train a brave and strong army, so that the enemy is frightened, he thought in his heart, and thanked Zhang Wen repeatedly, and then left the camp, Zhang Wen informed the assassin Shi Taoqian to give the equipment of the armed 3,000 people.
Gongsun Chan went to Huangfu Song again and received a military order, and in the future, he will be a captain under Huangfu Song.
After dealing with many things, he wanted to meet his soldiers, but Lu Bu stopped him, saying that the new army was still armed, and in addition, he reminded him that the military order was like a mountain and could not be violated, Lu Bu said so, Gongsun Chan suddenly had some doubts in his heart, and remembered that Zhang Wen had asked him if he understood the Donghao language, he frowned and thought, don't you want to lead the army to fight the Donghao people on the Goguryeo side?
The more he thought about it in his heart, the more depressed he became, the character of the Donghao people, he knew that if he let himself attack the Donghao people, it would be an insult to himself.
Three days later, LΓΌ Bu ordered him to take over the new army.
Gongsun Chan came to the school field proudly, his heart was still extremely excited, this was the first time he commanded the soldiers alone, the brave battalion, he smiled, walked into the camp tent, walked to the general platform, looked down, only to see the soldiers below completely bowed their heads, looked afraid, did not dare to raise their heads, this look, so that Gongsun Chan was also stunned, these can also be regarded as military?
The military marquis on the side said: "Captain Gongsun, these are the Donghao people sent by Goguryeo.... Or are they the braver of them..."
Gongsun Chan almost spurted blood, an army composed of Donghao people? It was also named the Brave Battalion???
He was about to run away on the spot, left the school grounds, went to find Zhang Wen, walked a few steps, but stopped again, Lu Bu had spoken, the military order was like a mountain.... Did the captain trust himself to trust himself and be able to lead them into a strong army?
Gongsun Chan thought to himself, and returned to the general platform, he frowned and stared at the soldiers below.
The people of Donghao are not good at war... No, it's not that they are not good at fighting, it's that they never fight, the terrain of Donghao was originally not bordered by the surrounding areas, they are rich in materials here, there are fish and shrimp, fruits, salt, they don't worry about eating and drinking, they have never fought with the outside world, so they have developed such a character, and they are formed as a military brigade, which no one dares to imagine.
However, Gongsun Chan believes in his heart that there is absolutely no military in this world that is not well trained!
As long as they strengthen their training and let them recall their courage, they will definitely be able to become a strong army of the Han Dynasty in the future, and they will be able to live up to this brave banner!
If you can bring these cowardly Donghao people into a strong army, you will definitely be famous in the world in the future, think about it, you can train Donghao people into a strong army, what strong army is not trained? Gongsun Chan frowned, thinking in his heart that in the future, he would give each of them a white horse to form a strong army and make the enemy fearful!
After he made up his mind, he looked at these Donghao people coldly and shouted:
"I am your captain! Gongsun Chan! β
"In the future, you will be my soldiers, and you will be the soldiers of the Han Dynasty!"
Hearing Gongsun Chan say the Donghao language, these Donghao people were a little surprised, raised their heads, and looked at Gongsun Chan.
"I know that everyone looks down on you and thinks that Donghao is just some coward, but I, Gongsun Zhan, don't think so!"
"You are also human beings, you also have families, and you also have children, how can you forget the hatred between Goguryeo and you?"
"I will train you strictly, so that the people of the world can see, there are also warriors in Donghao! You are not cowards!! β
"If anyone thinks that he can't stand such a drill, and admits that he is a coward, he throws away the spear in his hand! Leave the barracks now!! β
Gongsun Chan roared angrily.
"Boom~~~" Donghao people happily threw away the spear in their hands, and ran away, leaving no one behind.
The military marquis beside Gongsun Zhan was taken aback and shouted:
"Come on, Captain Gongsun has fainted!!"
