The arrival of this messenger was only the beginning, and more and more messages were sent to Pipe City by more messengers from the south...... Correspondingly, Gongsun Xun also knew more details.

For example, the Son of Heaven just died, and after Jian Shuo accepted the task of sheltering Liu Xie, he didn't know if it was because of his personal ambition or if he was filthy water at all, anyway, it was said that he was going to kill He Jin when the ministers entered the palace to serve filial piety, and even had the idea of abolishing Chang Liyu and making Liu Xie the emperor.

And as a result, since the news can reach Guanzi City, it naturally shows that this idea is just an idea.

In fact, He Jin was powerful, and a military Sima named Pan Yin reserved by Jian Shuo at the gate of the palace directly chose to betray, and his people insisted on making a fool of He Jin, so frightened that General He turned the car on the spot and ran to the barracks. Then He Suigao also immediately transferred troops, controlled the main official offices, and took advantage of the situation to call himself sick, remotely control the situation outside the palace, and urge the emperor's eldest son to ascend the throne.

In other words, He Jin did not enter the palace to guard filial piety for the Son of Heaven from beginning to end.

For another example, as soon as the Son of Heaven died, on the mourning hall, his wife Empress He, who had just become the Empress Dowager, and Empress Dowager Dong, his mother, who had just become the Empress Dowager, insulted each other and threatened each other to exterminate the clan...... This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not compatible, in fact, everyone knows it, but the outside is moving the sword, and the inside is setting up the prince, at this time, the two queen mothers who each have a prince in their hands are still quarreling, and they are destined to not give up.

For example, before the death of the Son of Heaven, he tried to control Dong Zhuo again, just like he dealt with Gongsun Xun, let Dong Zhuo go to the state to be the pastor of the state, and gave him a task to pacify the rebellion of Baibo and the Xiongnu.

However, Dong Zhongying still had no fear, he led 5,000 soldiers to the border of the east of the river slowly, and he insisted on not leaving...... And sure enough, the Son of Heaven soon couldn't hold on, so Dong Zhuo turned to Hedong Donglingdu to sit and wait for the most important person in his life to appear.

As for the future, it is not what Gongsun Xun knows, because it takes time for information to be transmitted, and Gongsun Xun has already left Guanzi City.

That's right, Gongsun Xun, who didn't know that the death of the Son of Heaven actually had something to do with him, finally made up his mind under the impact of the Luoyang Change, to immediately and quickly end the Youzhou Rebellion, and complete the arrangement of the outside must first be settled, so as to seek the huge political benefits of the Luoyang change in the south.

But all of this, all kinds of assumptions, require him to take Liucheng...... So he accepted Duan Ri Yuming's invitation, gathered all the 7,000 cavalry in Guanzi City, and went directly north to Liucheng.

"General He will win!" During the march, he stopped for the first time to rest, and Xi Zhicai reiterated his views around the campfire. "Jian Shuo is a eunuch, he can't hold the military power in his hands, what can he do to compete with the generals who have princes, scholars, and then the emperor's eldest son? The second son of the emperor, Liu Xie, relied on, and Jian Shuo and Dong Zhong couldn't stay. ”

"It's inevitable." Gongsun Xun watched a tribal leader with braided hair next to him personally pinch the salted fish to cook soup for himself, and he answered directly without thinking about it. "But Jian Shuo and Dong Zhong are removed, what will happen after the status of the emperor's eldest son is stabilized?"

"That's just as well." Xi Zhong sighed. "The scholars and the princes have supported the general for so long, if the general can't kill the ten permanent servants for them, how can they give up? And the Ten Standing Servants and Emperor He...... Empress Dowager He had a close relationship, and even Zhang Rang let his righteous son marry the younger sister of the four He siblings, how could General He easily make up his mind? ”

"So He Suigao will inevitably be self-respecting......" Gongsun Xun suddenly woke up.

"Not bad." Xi Zhong also suddenly realized. "This is the only way, he has to let his power overwhelm all the old forces in Luozhong, only in this way can he calmly dispose of the eunuchs, or not be coerced by the party. However, foreign forces will inevitably have a tendency to be subordinate and tendentious, and if they are not careful, they are afraid that something will go wrong, and then it will be the time to seek great things. ”

Gongsun Xun was suddenly silent, and even Xi Zhicai suddenly shut up.

It's not that he can't continue reasoning, but it's meaningless, Gongsun Xun is still on his way to Liucheng, and it's meaningless to talk about the situation in Luoyang, thousands of miles away. And besides, the two of them here are actually a little depressed...... The previous attack was done by one of their kings and ministers, and the result was? went out to spare most of the circle, but didn't catch anything, and maybe even because it was this blind trip out of the mountain, which attracted Liu Yu and Zhao Bao!

The so-called gains outweigh the losses, and it can even be said that there is no gain at all, only losses!

Of course, this is another important reason why Gongsun Xun is here, he and Xi Zhong both want to end this war quickly and turn to big things!

"General!" In the silence, the soup with the minced salted fish was ready, and the tribal leader himself brought it with a bowl of hot soup.

"Oh, I've worked hard for this headman, I don't know which tribe the headman is a hero?" Gongsun Xun took the hot soup disapprehantly, and then asked casually.

In other words, because it is a concentrated cavalry rush to promote the army, and in addition to the 600 white horse Yicong and the 1,000 people under Gao Shun's department, which are considered the elite of the elite, the rest of the army, whether it is the 'selection' of the miscellaneous hu of various departments, or the 'selection' of the rangers and good families who have joined the army in various counties and counties, they are all typical organized and undisciplined...... Therefore, after galloping down in one day, except for the Gao Shun Department in front and the Bai Ma Yi of the Chinese army, there was no chaos, most of the rest of the soldiers and horses lost their original marching order, and at this time, the Bai Ma Yi Cong of Gongsun Xun's headquarters collided with a Zahu tribe that Gongsun Xun himself had no impression of.

"Uh......" The tribal leader was at a loss for a moment, and then carefully reported his name. Don't hide it from the general, we are one of the twelve Fen Division, and the villain is called Tong Fen because his calves are stronger. ”

Generals, adults, villains, this kind of messy title will only be used indiscriminately by the border county zahu, but on the other hand, language expression is the basic source of the meaning of words, from this point of view, the language used by these lowly and ridiculous people today may replace Luoyang's Yayin and become a more vibrant expression of words.

And in this kind of messy but understandable words, Gongsun Xun nodded slowly, and then remembered the origin of this tribe.

The so-called 12 Fen tribes refer to the 12 Zahu tribes with the surname of Fen in western Liaoning...... These twelve tribes claimed to be Xianbei people during the previous period when Tanshi Huai was rampant in the grassland, but in fact, those who knew their details knew that their ancestors were Huns. It's just that the Xiongnu were divided into two at that time, and there was a Southern Xiongnu tribe who was unwilling to go to the state and move westward with the Northern Xiongnu, so they led their subordinates to settle near Liaoxi, and gradually divided into twelve, which came from this.

In fact, if it is just like this, it can still be called a long history. It's just that in order to survive, these twelve Tongfen tribes intermarried with the local natives, Xianbei, and Wuhuan everywhere, and their bloodlines have long been messed up. And because their twelve tribes do not belong to each other, they are lodging on all sides...... To call them a miscellaneous beard is simply not too accurate.

Therefore, when he asked those tribal leaders to enter Lu Longsai to pacify them before, Gongsun Xun didn't care too much about them at all.

As for why Gongsun Xun can still think of their origins in the hundreds of tribes outside the Saiwai at this time, it is not that their story is interesting, but that the surname Tong Fen is too interesting...... Tong Fen is a Xianbei dialect, which translates to the king of heaven.

In other words, the twelve miscellaneous hus of the Liaoxi Qifen clan are translated as the twelve heavenly kings of Liaoxi...... It's hard to forget the name, right?

Of course, more time, these twelve with their mighty and domineering names are just a joke...... The Twelve Heavenly Kings Department, with one piece, are only two or three thousand people, barely protecting themselves.

"Tong Fenhu," Gongsun Xun took a sip of salted fish soup disappreciatively before the bonfire, and then asked with a smile. "How many of you from the Twelve Fen Clans came to look for me this time, and how many of them went to Qiu Li's residence? Truth be told, I don't blame you. ”

Tong Fenqiu probably has experienced too many such things, or has been prepared for a long time, so he almost didn't want to kneel and kowtow: "General Mingjian, the twelve parts of our Tong Fen clan are too scattered, and I don't know what is going on in the north, but the three departments in the south heard that the general had arrived in Lulongsai, so they all followed, and in a few days, the other four departments in the middle heard about the general's movements, and they will definitely take the initiative to help...... We have never forgotten the kindness of the general and Gongsun Xun to us. ”

Gongsun Xun chuckled, still didn't care, just motioned for the other party to get up, he was a light attack this time, every combat power is extremely precious, and he can't be blamed again.

Tong Fenqiu was overjoyed, and immediately got up, seeing Gongsun Xun bowing his head and drinking soup, but he hurriedly turned around and scolded the people behind him in Xianbei words, as if asking them to take bread...... Of course, you don't have to think about it to know that this dry noodle cake must have been given to them by Gongsun Xun when he came out of Lulongsai before.

Gongsun Xun still lowered his head to drink the soup, and when he raised his head again, he saw a dark-skinned young man in a dirty leather robe kneeling in front of him, and then pinching a hard dough cake with both hands and serving it.

Gongsun Xun took it casually, but as soon as he took it, he couldn't help laughing, it turned out that this black guy was probably a little nervous, so he couldn't help but use force when he took the cake, and at this time he let go, and there was an obvious black handprint on the white cake.

Around the bonfire, Xi Zhicai, Tian Yu, and Na Fenqi all saw this scene, the first two were naturally dissatisfied, and the latter immediately got up, kicked the swarthy man on the ground to the ground, and scolded him repeatedly. And the swarthy young man of the Qi Fen tribe also quickly knelt on the ground in panic and let Tong Fen kick him.

Gongsun Xun knew a little bit about Xianbei words, and immediately heard that this person was the son of Tong Fenqiu...... is also speechless for the performance of this head of the Fen department.

So, Gongsun Xun quietly tore off the stained pie crust and held it in his hand, and at the same time gnawed two mouthfuls of cake with soup, and then stopped the other party: "Tong Fentouren, his hands are so dirty, it is also caused by my military order to go out for me to go on the expedition...... Where can you criticize him for such a thing? I have already eaten the bread, so you don't have to blame him, let him go. ”

Tong Fenqiu immediately took his black son to kowtow in thanksgiving.

"What are you calling for?" Years of training in the upper echelons have allowed a certain attitude to infiltrate into Gongsun Xun's bone marrow, although he really looks down on these miscellaneous beards in his bones, but since he has to borrow the strength of others at this time, it is not to say that he can't put on a daily posture.

"Back to the general, the child is called a black otter...... He grew up black! "Tong Fenqiu was obviously afraid that his son would cause trouble again, so he kowtowed in front of his son to answer." He also likes to drill in the river next to the tribe. ”

"Let him speak for himself." Gongsun Xun held the soup bowl and ate the cake while disapplauding. "I see that he is strong and a warrior, how can I ask you to speak for him?"

"The villain is called a black otter." The black guy hurriedly repeated it himself. "Because I grew up black."

"You grow black because you have a lot of hard work, which shows that you are also the pillar of the tribe in your daily life." Gongsun Xun gave a little encouragement. "Don't take the things of the day to heart...... Tian Yu. ”

"The subordinates are here." Tian Yu, who had not yet been crowned, immediately responded.

"Take a good ring-headed knife that Yi used in the middle and give it to this black otter king." Gongsun Xun commanded, and then lowered his head and concentrated on drinking the soup, no longer caring about the behavior of the father and son in front of him.

After a night of silence, Gongsun Xun went on the road again early the next morning and hurried to Liucheng.

In other words, whether it is the Han Dynasty or Rome tens of thousands of miles away, or even a thousand years later, if a large army of conventional classical style is formed and wants to maintain a certain combat effectiveness after the end of the march, then generally speaking, its speed limit is more than 40 miles per day.

It's not impossible to want to be faster, but you have to sacrifice combat effectiveness or unconventional operations to deal with it...... For example, arrange supplies along the way, such as throwing down baggage, such as all-cavalry raids.

What Gongsun Xun did at this time was a full cavalry raid...... Do not camp, do not set up a village, carry seven or eight days of dry food, do not spare horses, carry iron pots, and march in a hurry.

But even so, in order to maintain combat effectiveness after arriving in Liucheng, it was only more than sixty or seventy miles a day. And the distance of 300 miles theoretically takes five days to arrive.

There were no problems in the first two days, and even on the afternoon of the second day, Gongsun Xun also learned an absolute good news from a Zahu tribe he met on the way - his father-in-law, the former Liaoxi Taishou, the current right general Liaodong Taishou, did quickly float to the sea to reach Liaodong, and as soon as his people appeared, they had not yet mobilized troops and horses, so they were frightened that Su Fuyan, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaodong, hurriedly asked Qiu Liju for help, and Qiu Liju immediately wrapped a large number of Zahu, crossed the Xiaoling River to the east, and went to the direction of Yiwulu Mountain. It seems that he is going to support Su Muyan.

Everyone knows about this matter in the tribes around Liucheng, and this information also means that Duan Ri Yuming is not lying!

So, at noon on the third day, Gongsun Xun did not hesitate to lead the crowd across the Daling River and entered the second half of the journey. But on the evening of the same day, Gao Shun in front suddenly personally sent another messenger from Duan Ri Yu Ming.

"Hurry up!" This person was sweating profusely, and when he saw Gongsun Xun, he knelt down and kowtowed. "My master asked me to inform the prince that Qiu Liju's main force is behind the Xiaoling River in the east, and there is no Lu Mountain before the medical treatment...... Liu Cheng is afraid that it is a bait! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this...... Gongsun Xun didn't say a word, just lowered his head and took a sip of salted fish soup, and then suddenly smashed the pottery bowl in his hand on the soft spring turf.

Under the reflection of the campfire, the salted fish soup spilled on the ground, and the clay bowl gurgled and rolled around, but it was still intact.

"The body of the prince and the marquis can't take risks, and the whole army retreats to the west of the Daling River!" Xi Zhong gritted his teeth and ordered for Gongsun Xun. "Our army is all cavalry, as long as we cross the river, we will have no worries!"

————I'm the best divider of salted fish soup————

"Taizu and Wuhuan battle, crossed the Daling River, more than 7,000 people, suddenly a Duan Xianbei sent an envoy to report, in order to tell Wuhuan Shan Yu Qiu Liju to lead 20,000 troops in the east of the Xiaoling River, is coming in the starry night. When the bonfire sipped hot soup in the wild, the salty color was shocked, and the soup flowed all over the ground, but Taizu was not moved, slowly sipped, and re-raised the bowl and said: "This bowl can be deducted from the thief!"
