The fire burned down the company camp, and it was overwhelming.

However, the seemingly earth-shattering fire was just a means to paralyze the Yellow Turban Army's command system and defensive positions, and it was the 60,000 Han troops who really killed and injured the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army on the battlefield!

The 60,000 Han Army, as the main force of the most powerful empire in this era, is equipped with what may be the best weapons, armor, and war horses in this era, and enjoys the highest logistics treatment in this era, and it is impossible to be trapped by the so-called 100,000 Yellow Turban Army that has just started an incident!

And now, after dormant for dozens of days, these 60,000 Han troops are counterattacking together, and its momentum is truly unstoppable!

10,000 cavalry were in the south, and a mixed army of 40,000 foot cavalry swarmed out from the middle of Changshe City and behind Changshe City in front of them, and 10,000 foot soldiers took advantage of the situation under the leadership of Cheng Pu to cross the Weishui River and attack from the north...... The 60,000-strong army was divided into three sides, approaching each other and advancing from east to west, while the Yellow Turban Army, with its 100,000 people, could not organize any effective defense at all, and became the target of slaughter in an instant!

Originally, Gongsun Xun still wanted to focus on the war, so he just left some food and water for Sun Jian and hurriedly supervised the army to move forward. However, the success of the whole battle made Gongsun Xun lose the desire to command when he came up - it was not that he underestimated the enemy, but that after the fire swept through the Yellow Turban military camp, the battle instantly degenerated into a chase war and a dense small confrontation, in this case, it was difficult for him to make effective commands, and he could only rely on the performance of the middle-level officers themselves.

So, Gongsun Xun dismounted on a high ground, and showed his white horse flag as a supervisor, and then began to sit on a small horse and watch the battle from afar.

As for Cao Mengde, another 2,000 stone cavalry lieutenant in the army, although the 'headquarters' assigned to him, that is, the thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, were all left in Weishui and handed over to Cheng Demou for unified command, but in the face of such a large-scale battle, he still couldn't help but be agitated, and actually took Xiahoudun and dozens of cavalry guards to pick up the knife.

For a while, Gongsun Xun was the only one left on his side.

"Wonderful!" Lou Gui looked at the battle situation in front of him, and immediately became a little impatient. "Originally, I thought that arson was to create damage, but now it seems that this is clearly a means to drive fire as a striker, and it is simply a means of gods and ghosts...... It seems that the art of war still depends on fire and water! ”

"Wind, fire, water and ice, naturally, these things that cannot be resisted by human beings are the essence of the art of war." Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh slightly. "Uncle Zi has something to gain, you might as well write it down, and write it into a book of the art of war in the future, and I will publish it for you in the world."

"This ...... Not okay? Lou Gui immediately panicked. Can someone like me write a book on the art of war? ”

"How can I not write?" Gongsun Xun said disapprovingly. "In my opinion, a few years ago, Uncle Zi was just a man with low eyes, empty wisdom but no action, and now he can be worthy of the title of a think tank in the army...... In the future, his reputation will become more and more famous, and the number of war cases will increase, and perhaps a thousand years later, he will also be a model of using soldiers like a god. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lou Gui and the surrounding Han Dang and others couldn't help laughing.

However, after laughing, Lou Gui looked at Gongsun Xun's expression, but his heart suddenly moved, and then he couldn't help but ask softly and tentatively: "Junhou, if I can be called a god in a thousand years, what should you do?" ”

Gongsun Xun squinted his eyes and stared down, but he was silent.

Han immediately came to his senses, waved his hand directly, and took the surrounding Bai Mayi to retreat dozens of steps to the periphery before stopping.

"Why did Uncle Zi say this?" As soon as the people around him left, Gongsun Xun couldn't help but sigh and asked. "We're at war!"

"It's just a little confusing." Lou Gui replied calmly. "And it's about yourself. A few years ago, on the Xia Embankment of Zhao Guo, I thought that the ambition of the prince and the prince had been set, that is, to rise up in the troubled times and restore the peace of the world...... Isn't this how the names of the two sons came from? ”

"Yes," Gongsun Xun replied slowly. "And I haven't changed my mind, otherwise how can I say that Uncle Zi will go down in history in the future? It's just that if you know this kind of thing, why do you have to say it? ”

"Didn't you say it, I'm just confused." Lou Gui laughed. "According to the posture of the prince today, if I don't listen to what the prince says, I will be uneasy in my heart."

"Can you tell I'm hesitant?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Not bad." Lou Gui stretched out his hand and pointed to the battlefield road where the sound of killing was constantly being shouted below. "If I was not mistaken, the prince and the prince couldn't bear it after talking perfunctorily...... At this time, the prince can't bear to suffer heavy losses to our army, right? ”

Gongsun Xun was speechless for a while, and after a long time, he slowly replied: "It's because I have some women's kindness...... Although their feelings are pitiful, but since they raise the flag to resist, you will die on the battlefield after all. Uncle Zi, don't worry, I know this truth in my heart, and I will never show it in front of the soldiers again. ”

"I have been with the prince for many years." Lou Gui folded his hands and sighed. "I probably know something in my heart...... It is a good thing that the prince is arrogant and compassionate; Before, so many people on the embankment of Dongjun regarded death as home, and the army was not the only one who sighed. But you, are we making the current situation in the world?! Once the Yellow Turban thieves raise troops, conquer cities, kill officials and slaughter officials, and make the world stumble, can they be soft-hearted? O prince, the more the situation collapses, the more we must rush to make meritorious contributions; The more thieves go forward, the more we have to do it! The sky deserves to die, and the yellow sky is also an evil way! ”

"Uncle Zi's words, how could I not understand them?" Gongsun Xun also sighed. "But then?"

"What, then?" Lou Gui said blankly.

"What if one day, you and I have achieved our ambitions, and then we don't care?" Gongsun Xun couldn't help but ask. "How do you clean up the situation when it's time to do it? With whom to clean up the situation? Have you thought about it? ”

Lou Gui was speechless for a while: "There has just been chaos in this world, is the prince actually thinking so far?" Ziheng and I discussed it before, saying why you have been losing your mind lately, and you thought ......"

"Uncle Zi." Gongsun Xun got up from Mazha and said. "Since that's the case, I'll officially tell you okay, you talk to Ziheng at that time, and I won't say more......"

"Prince, please speak."

"My ambition has not changed, and I will not be upset by the horrors of the First World War." Gongsun Xun looked at his henchman and said seriously. "It's just that the more battles I fight and the more things I see, the more I feel that it will be more difficult to stabilize the world in the future...... For some reason, I always felt like I was missing something. The so-called fighting and thinking, that's all. ”

Lou Gui was stunned for a moment, but simply gave his hand to apologize: "So, it's that I'm thinking too much!" When I see Ziheng again, I will definitely tell him. ”

"Actually, it's a good thing that you think more about me like Uncle Zi and Ziheng." Gongsun Xun stretched out his hand to support the other party and said earnestly. "These days, after all, my mind is dark, and I have drilled the tip of the horns, so that it actually accumulates to the surface...... It's me who is wrong! It's a long time coming, you might as well talk about this kind of thing later, and it's right now! ”

"What the prince said is very true." Lou Gui also breathed a sigh of relief. "Now let's look at the current situation!"

Having said that, the current situation has not been seen for a long time. Gongsun Xun saw that the last resistance of the Yellow Turban Army had also come to naught, and turned to retreat on all fronts, and was about to move the flag and press forward in person, but suddenly someone came to disturb him.

"General Huangfu invited me into the city?" Gongsun Xun pointed to the boundless battlefield in front of him and seemed to smile. "Now?"

"Yes!" The person who came was a scribe in his forties with a Liangzhou accent, and he immediately surrendered when he heard this. "My general said that the battle situation is a foregone conclusion, and let the sons and daughters make meritorious contributions, like the prince and marquis, it is better to enter the city and sit down! Of course, if the prince has the heart to supervise the war, it doesn't hurt not to go. ”

Gongsun Xun couldn't help but glance at Lou Gui, and then they each shook their heads and laughed, and even the scribe who came to invite people also laughed.

In other words, the three commanders of the Han army on this battlefield are theoretically equal...... This is because what left and right facial features are generals, and what titles are meaningless in front of the scepter that represents the authority of the Son of Heaven. If you have to divide up and down, it can only be said that in terms of seniority, Huangfu Song is the oldest, everyone respects it, that's all.

In this case, why did Huangfu Yizhen put on a posture at this time and invited Gongsun Xun to enter the city?

The answer is very simple, this is to give Zhu Jun a credit!

And the reason why Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui looked at each other and smiled was because they had been prepared for this.

In fact, when he had not yet come to Yingchuan, he should have stayed in the camp at this time, and Dong Zhao, who was watching the fire from the other side, first raised this question on the way. Dong Gongren's words at that time were very direct and very simple, that is, Zhu Jun lost a game, and he needed to take credit, otherwise he would probably be convicted. But Gongsun Xun doesn't need credit, so after coming to Yingchuan, he should wait for Huangfu Song to come forward and take advantage of the situation to give credit.

The former is easy to understand, but what about the latter?

Dong Gongren still gave an explanation that pointed directly to the hearts of the people - this counterinsurgency, you can't be the person with the highest merit in name, nor can you be the person with the most people's hearts, otherwise there will be trouble! This aftermath may come from careerists, eunuchs, or even from the Son of Heaven...... But in any case, there must be.

Then, while giving credit to Zhu Jun, who may be guilty, is to not be the one who has the most credit; If you don't take the initiative, you don't want to be the one who earns the most people's hearts; As for why he still has the practice to fight this battle, this is what Gongsun Xun himself insisted on...... After all, he knows that in the eyes of those who really understand, especially in the army that gathers countless heroes, everyone will always understand what is going on.

This battle was not fought in vain!

All in all, Huangfu Song's invitation, Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui were actually prepared, didn't they just let him enter the city, and then let Zhu Jun command outside?

Let him go, it's just a rotting rat.

So, Gongsun Xun immediately promised, and then took Lou Gui, Han Dang, and three hundred white horse followers, directly crossed the battlefield and ignored it, and followed this Huangfu Song's staff to Changshe City, a few miles away.

And an interesting thing is that when he was on the road, he listened to Lou Gui talking constantly with this Huangfu Song's staff, and Gongsun Xun knew that the other party was actually a person.

"Mr. is the order of the old Xindu (the capital of Anping State)?" Lou Zibo asked curiously.

"Yes, yes." The man laughed dryly at the horse. "Xindu ordered, Zhang Jiao fled in a hurry when he raised troops, and after arriving in Luozhong, the center did not treat me for his crime because of the fall of Anping, but he was also dismissed. It just so happened that I was from Hanyang, Liangzhou, and I happened to be in Luozhong, so I went to join my general. Let the prince see the smile ......"

"What's this?" Lou Gui said disapprovingly. "Who can do that situation? However, since Mr. is a native of Liangzhou and serves as the commander of a thousand stones, he must be a famous person in Liangzhou...... Dare to ask for a name? ”

"Yan Zhong!" The man replied simply. "The word Shude."

"Mr. Shude's surname is Yan?" Gongsun Xun suddenly interjected curiously. "Then dare to ask Shu Dejun to recognize Jia Wenhe and Han Wenyu...... Uh, is there another person named Yan Xing? ”

Yan Zhong looked at Gongsun Xun curiously: "General White Horse is powerful in the world, but after all, he is from Youzhou, how do you know these people?" ”

"Do you recognize them all?" Gongsun Xun was pleasantly surprised, and then hurriedly covered it up. "These are all names that were randomly obtained when they intersected with Han Wenyue and Fu Nanrong in Luozhong in the past, and I heard that they are all Liangzhou talents......

"That makes sense!" Yan Zhong couldn't help but sigh. "Han Wenyue doesn't say it, it's our Xizhou celebrity, and the general naturally knows. Although Jia Wen and this kid have never been well-known, they are close friends with me, and I know very well in my heart that this person has the same strategy as Zhang Liang and Chen Ping...... I can tell others about it, but others always laugh at me and say that I blow ...... In fact, it's just that Wen He has a low background, and they look down on it. As for Yan Xing, most of the surnames of Yan in Liangzhou are of my clan, and there are quite a few people in my clan, maybe they are one of the people who intersect with the covenant! However, my brother's eldest son is also called Yan Xing, but he has not been crowned this year, so it shouldn't be him. ”

Gongsun Xun immediately smiled embarrassedly: "Liangzhou is also full of talents!" ”

Yan Zhong was half proud and half helpless when he heard this: "It's a pity, people who are contemptible, no matter how high their talents are, they are always looked down upon." ”

"I wonder where Jia Wenhe is?" Gongsun Xun didn't bother to sigh at those things with him. "Didn't Brother Shude say that he had the same strategy as Zhang Liang and Chen Ping? Can you introduce me to me, I want to ask him to be a Thousand Stone Army Sima ......"

"Wen He has been studying at home since he was filial piety that day." Yan Zhong shook his head suddenly. "However, I have known Wen He for a long time, and he is a person who is prepared for danger in times of peace, and he will definitely not be recruited thousands of miles away, so the general doesn't have to think about it."

Gongsun Xun thought about it carefully, but he was helpless. And then, he didn't speak anymore, but just let Lou Gui and this Yan Zhong continue to talk and probe until a group of hundreds of white horses easily galloped to the front of Changshe City, and then saw Huangfu Song and others who greeted him outside the city gate from a distance.

Gongsun Xun did not dare to slack off, and immediately led his righteous servants to dismount.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yan Zhong suddenly led the horse with one hand, pointed to a person behind Huangfu Song and said: "Since Gongsun Zhonglang wants to seek talents in the scene, why do you want to find us Liangzhou people thousands of miles away?" Yingchuan Duoshi ...... Don't say anything Xun and Chen, I have been in Changshe City with my general for more than ten days, and I have already met a Changshe Zhong's handsome, and the prince and the marquis look at it, this person is called Zhong Xuanyi Yuanchang, who has a strategic mind, and is really a talent of Xiangguo! ”

Gongsun Xun was dumbfounded, but immediately smiled bitterly.
