Chapter 147: Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei (Second Watch)

Chapter 147 Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei

Xu Ding then looked at the general who spoke.

This man was quite handsome, dressed in white armor and ornaments, and extremely young.

Liu Yu frowned slightly, but still introduced in a harmonious voice: "This one is the county commander of each county, and he is also the captain of Youzhou Cavalry, Gongsun Bogui, because the imperial court sent 3,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou to the west to crusade against Liangzhou, because of the rebellion of the two thieves of the Zhang family, he commanded 3,000 horsemen to crusade against the two thieves. ”

It turned out that this guy was Gongsun Zhan.

And being able to command 3,000 cavalry captains alone, it does have some arrogant capital.

But that's what he does, although there are a lot of commanders, but it's really too arrogant.

Originally, Xu Ding only maintained a neutral view of this person's life, but at this time he was a little unhappy.

stared at Gongsun Chan and didn't speak.

Gongsun Zhan is also a strong and stubborn character, Xu Ding stared at him, and he also met his gaze.

This time, the atmosphere was suddenly depressed and weird.

Liu Yu was also embarrassed to the side.

Obviously, Gongsun Zhan's actions embarrassed him.

After all, Xu Dingyuan is a guest, and he is famous, let alone him, even if he sees him today, he has to give a few thin noodles.

Now he has come to help suppress the rebellion, and he does not dare to offend.

And Gongsun Zhan was originally his subordinate, and he was so raised from time to time, which really made him a little angry.

But he is angry, but Liu Yu still has to rely on Gongsun Chan to help him, after all, Gongsun Chan still has 3,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

So Liu Yu is preparing to play a peace game and be a peacemaker.

At this time, I saw someone outside the hall walk in, and opened his mouth and said: "It's too late, and I hope you won't be surprised." ”

When Liu Yu saw the visitor, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly turned around to exchange courtesies with the visitor, and then said to Xu Ding: "Junhou, I will introduce you to my hero Liu Xuande in Youzhou." ”

Xu Ding noticed it when Liu Bei came in.

There was some surprise at Liu Bei's appearance.

I didn't expect this unbeatable Xiaoqiang to run Liu Yu here.

So Xu Ding smiled and turned to look at Liu Bei.

Obviously, the interest in Liu Bei is far stronger than that of Gongsun Zhan.

Liu Bei smiled and saluted Xu Ding: "Junhou, we meet again, and we miss Jizhou very much." ”

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect Liu Bei to know Xu Ding.

Immediately, the atmosphere became pleasant.

It's good to know each other, and now we can have a good chat.

I miss your sister, and I say it as if we have a relationship.

It is not good to stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, Xu Ding had to reply with a kind word in his mouth, and he slandered Liu Bei in his heart.

is a good Liu Xuande, pretending to be really TM like a thing.

obviously hates Lao Tzu to death, but he seems to be like no one, this scheming and patience really can't be operated by ordinary people.

"Xuande, how many people did you bring over this time." When Gongsun Zhan saw Liu Bei coming, he became even more arrogant.

Speaking of which, he and Liu Bei are brothers in the same school, studying under Lu Zhi, and the two are also speculative.

So he heard from Liu Bei that he had a holiday with Xu Ding, so he came out and deliberately contradicted Xu Ding.

Liu Bei replied with a smile: "It's not more than 30,000 horses." ”

Liu Bei seemed to be modest when he said this, but he straightened his waist, as if announcing something.

Sure enough, Gongsun Chan was overjoyed, patted Liu Bei's arm and said: "You really have your Xuande, so the two can be broken, and Youzhou is definitely ready." ”

Liu Yu was also happy, he didn't expect Liu Bei to bring so many soldiers and horses over, and he was more confident in quelling the rebellion this time.

Xu Ding was very interested in Liu Bei's sudden 30,000 army, so he said: "In this way, our army has come in vain, there are 30,000 troops of Xuande, and the rebel army can be broken overnight, congratulations to Liu Yuanjun, congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Bei said: "The prince and the prince are falsely praised, the prince and the prince who exterminate the traitors have the most experience and the greatest achievements, and only with the prince and the prince that we can be invincible and can frighten the enemy's fear, how can it be said that the prince is in vain." ”

Wo Groove wants Lao Tzu to be a logistics for you, give you a fox and a fake tiger, what a cunning guy.

Xu Ding wanted to scold Liu Bei, but at this time, Gongsun Zhan came to a trick, and he said: "Xuande's words are reasonable, the Donglai army is a cavalry department, and the use of fighting the rebels may not be obvious, but if it is used to deal with Wuhuan, it is the most suitable." ”

Gongsun Zan praised Donglai Jun not out of good intentions, but because he was afraid that Xu Ding would take the credit.

With his 3,000 cavalry, plus Liu Bei's 30,000 foot soldiers, it was more than enough to sweep away the 100,000 troops of Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun.

This great achievement allowed the two to be divided, which is not small.

If Xu Ding is allowed to intervene, Xu Ding is the Hou Ye, and he is too strong to guard, he will contribute the least, and the credit will be the greatest, which is not cost-effective.

It's better to send him to entangle with Qiu Liju of Wuhuan, so that not only can there be one less merit-grabbing person, but also the strength of the enemy and friendly army can be contained.

The idea is very good, but Liu Bei wanted to cry when he heard this.

Liu Yu was stunned, but Xu Ding smiled.

"Okay, the Wuhuan Benhou in the north will clean up, and the rebels will be handed over to you." Xu Ding said with great agreement.

Gongsun Chan was overjoyed, he didn't expect Xu Ding to be so brainless, so he opened his mouth and agreed.

But Liu Bei secretly scolded Gongsun Zan several times for being a fool.

Liu Yu didn't speak, but deduced the development of the situation, so that he had some recognition of this.

After all, as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, as long as it is beneficial to the Han Dynasty and the suppression of the rebellion.

He didn't have too many ideas, he just wanted to calm the chaos and stabilize the frontier as soon as possible.

briefly determined their respective affairs, and then everyone greeted Liu Yu a few times.

After eating, they went their separate ways.

Back at the campsite, Xu Ding said to Guo Jia, who was accompanying him: "Fengxiao will arrange it, two o'clock."

One: Find a guide who knows the terrain of Shanggu, Youbeiping and Liaoxi to the land of Wuhuan.

2: Where did the soldiers and horses recruited by Liu Bei come from, and what have you done in the past two years? ”

"It's the lord!" Guo Jia suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and Xu Ding seemed to have never been so serious.

Even if it is against the enemy Sanhan and Donghao Shikoku.

Although the intelligence direction of Donglai in recent years has been placed in Sanhan, Donghao Shiguo, and Qingzhou, where Donglai County is located, the hero building has still been opened to Jicheng in Youzhou.

Half a day later, Guo Jia got what Xu Ding wanted.

There are two guides, both of whom are recruited by the hero building, and it can be said that there are ready-made, and they will arrive as soon as they are invited.

As for Liu Bei's information, Guo Jia looked a little strange, and finally reported in person: "My lord, Liu Bei has been linked up with Dong Zhuoyuan's subordinate Li Su after the first battle of Quyang, Liu Bei listened to Li Su's advice, and successively got acquainted with the big and small bandits in the north of Taihang Mountain, and then persuaded Zhang Baiqi, Zhang Leigong, Yu Yigen, Li Damu, and Zuo Zhangba.

And worship with him as a brother with a different surname, known as the Seven Tigers, controlling the cities and mountains around Dai County and Zhongshan County. ”

"Seven Tigers?" Xu Ding was a little stunned after hearing this, he didn't expect Liu Bei to play so big, and he actually collected five Taihang Mountain bandits.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Counting Li Su, there are seven people in total, and Liu Bei is the eldest brother!" ”

Speaking of which, Guo Jia felt full of irony, if he was not mistaken, Liu Bei had a sworn worship in Youzhou.

At that time, he was married to Jin Lan with Cheng Yuanzhi, Deng Mao, and Gao Sheng, the three generals of the Yellow Turbans who attacked Youzhou.

As a result, these three people were finally beheaded by their own lords.

Now Liu Bei is doing sworn worship again, and this time there are three more people, and it is getting bigger and bigger.

"Hehe, it's a little interesting, seven gourd babies?" When Xu Ding heard that Li Su was also counted, he couldn't help but sneer and touched it and said, "It should be the Taihang Seven Monsters." ”

After a joke, Xu Ding asked again: "In this way, Liu Bei's surrendered soldiers and horses are far more than the 30,000 soldiers and horses he brought to Jixian County." ”

The bandits in Taihang Mountain are not ordinary small bandits, each leader has as little as 10,000 and as many as 30,000 or 40,000 people.

It adds up to about 100,000.

"It's not just that, but it's about the same, he has at most 20,000 people left in the border state of Jiyou, after all, the mountain bandits in Taihang Mountain are all dragging their families, and there are many old and weak women and children.

He can pick out no more than half of the strength to fight. ”

Xu Ding nodded slightly, and then asked, "Fengxiao, what do you say we are going to do next?" ”

"The Lord has a draft in his heart, and he can act according to it." Guo Jia was lazy and replied directly.

"Huh! Filial piety, filial piety. Xu Ding shook his head slightly, but he was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay! Since Feng Xiao guessed it, then you stay in Shanggu with Zilong, keep a good eye on Qiu Liju for me, and don't let people know that I left. ”

"It's the lord!"

Guo Jia replied.

Xu Ding wanted the guide to do something, not to call out the pass to attack the Wuhuan headquarters, or to go around from the grassland to Liaoxi, and kill Erzhang's back.

However, Guo Jia estimated that the former was more likely, the strength of Erzhang's rebel army was still too weak, and Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei had a total of more than 30,000 troops, as long as it took more time to break Zhang Er, it was not a big problem.

The next day, Xu Ding took the captain of the second army to the north, and on the same day, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei also sent troops to the east.

For Xu Ding to bring eight or nine thousand cavalry to help, all the cities and counties of Shanggu County warmly welcomed him, and the Han generals in border checkpoints and other places were even more overjoyed.

Like Xu Ding's strong reinforcement, the more the better.

When he arrived at Juyong Pass, Xu Ding further got more detailed information from the generals guarding the frontier, and held the intelligence of the Wuhuan people, so he asked Guo Jia to take the Sixth Army and Zhao Yun to confuse the Wuhuan army in the area of Juyong Pass, and he and Huang Zhong quietly took the Seventh Army out of the fortress to the northwest, and turned to the northeast after Guangning City and Ning County to enter the grassland border.

At the same time, Qiu Liju, who was active in the upper valley area, received letters from his allies Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju.

After reading the letter, Qiu Liju brought his subordinates and instructed: "The Han army of 30,000 went out of Jixian County to Youbeiping, Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun invited me to go over to encircle and annihilate this Han army, what do you think?" ”

"Khan, now that the nine thousand cavalry of the Han army are near Juyong Pass, it is not good to leave at this time."

"Yes, Khan, I heard that this Han cavalry is the most elite Donglai soldiers of the Han Dynasty, that Xu Ding is known as invincible in the world, no one can win, at this time turn to the east, they chased after it, wouldn't it have fallen the momentum of our Wuhuan people." King Wuhuan said with some displeasure.

"Khan, it's better to fight with Na Xu Ding, see what this first god in the eyes of the Han people will be, and see what the Donglai soldiers look like, this Donglai is far away from the frontier, what combat effectiveness the cavalry they trained can have, maybe they will be annihilated by us in a battle." The others stood up for the king

If you can kill Xu Ding, you will definitely increase your prestige and prestige.

Qiu Liju was a little moved.

There is just one of his subordinates who said: "The Khan is not proper, it is extremely inappropriate to fight with the Donglai army, even if we win and annihilate them, it is not a benefit, there is no benefit, on the contrary, if we delay the time, the Han army defeats Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju, then the Han people's Youzhou civil strife is over, how can we get benefits from it, the Han people have no civil strife, don't you go all out to deal with us." ”

What is the purpose of the anti-Han Dynasty, not to help Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju build the country as emperors, but to use the power of the two Zhang to disrupt Youzhou and Jizhou, and then strengthen his Qiu Liju, so as to unify Wuhuan, this is the ultimate strategy.

If you deviate from this, it will go against the beginning and the end, and it is better not to be anti-Han.

Therefore, Qiu Liju suppressed the throbbing in his heart, nodded and said: "First destroy the Han army that attacked Erzhang, and meet the Donglai army when you come back." ”

Then Qiu Liju asked King Qiao to command 50,000 troops to confuse the Han army in the Shanggu area, pretending to attack Shanggu and entering the pass, and he took the main force towards Youbeiping.

And these are the things he had already discussed when he formed an alliance with Erzhang.

So this time it didn't change because of the arrival of Donglai soldiers.

On the side of Beiping on the right, Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju wanted to have a good fight with Gongsun Zan and others.

As a result, he lost the first battle.

After all, Er Zhang's troops are a rabble, where is the opponent of Gongsun Zan, a combat activist.

Gongsun Zan is also brave, with 3,000 men and horses to defeat Erzhang, Erzhang was defeated and retreated, Liu Bei sent Zhang Baiqi with cavalry to fight with Gongsun Zan to pursue Erzhang, and he took the foot soldiers behind him to receive the city.

Soon the pace of Gongsun Zhan and Liu Bei's attack reached Liaoxi.

Hurriedly came to Wencheng City, Liu Bei didn't take a breath, and Gongsun Zan sent someone to urge him to set off as soon as possible.

Liu Bei asked, "Where did Bo Gui chase him?" ”

Gongsun Zhan's subordinates replied: "Lord Bing, my lord pursued Erzhang to Shimen, please send soldiers and horses over quickly, otherwise Erzhang will escape." ”

Shimen, it's so far.

Liu Bei looked at the map of Liaoxi, and his brain had a headache.

Gongsun Chan attacked too fast, and the lone army went deeper, and the distance between the two was too far.
