Chapter 46: The Pain of Losing a Child
Liaodong County, Xiangping City.
The news that Gongsun Kang was stabbed to death by Lu Bu's halberd quickly came back, Gongsun Du almost fainted, his chest was full of anger, his fists were clenched, and he slammed on the table in front of him, and roared in grief: "Lu Bu, the old man wants to sacrifice you alive to my son." ”
"Come on, quickly pass on Yangyi, Gongsun Gong will come to discuss the matter."
Gongsun Du, the tiger who has dominated Liaodong for more than ten years has re-revealed his ferocious momentum, these years he has conquered the east and west, Changli County, Liaodong County, Xuansu County have become his territory, no one has ever dared to disobey him, but Lu Bu killed his beloved son, not killing Lu Bu is really difficult to understand the hatred in his heart, the pain of losing his son made his chest twitch for a while.
When he was young, Gongsun Gong and Yang Yi hurried over, and after seeing the salute, the three of them had different expressions.
On the way here, Gongsun Gong inquired that Gongsun Kang died, and after years of hiding, he finally waited for it and died well. Along the way, Gongsun Gong was secretly overjoyed, his heart was both happy and excited, as for Lu Bu, it seemed that he couldn't fight him at all, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't beat Liaodong County, and he was most concerned about the position of his first heir.
Gongsun Gong pretended to have a sad look on the surface, stepped forward to hold Gongsun Du, and cried bitterly: "Father, the child must avenge the eldest brother, and Lu Bu will be broken into pieces." ”
"Well... Okay..., my son can have this brotherhood, and it is not in vain what the old man expects from you, the old man will personally recruit Lu Bu and avenge Kang'er, and you will stay in Xiangping City to preside over government affairs and have a good experience. ”
Gongsun Du sighed heartbrokenly, Gongsun Gong was his last only seedling, he didn't dare to carelessly let these little rabbit cubs go to the front line again, he had already heard of Lu Bu's bravery, or left them in Xiangping City safely, even if he fought this old bone, he would kill Lu Bu completely.
Gongsun Gong was pleasantly surprised in his heart, staying in Xiangping and dealing with government affairs, such important events used to be the exclusive domain of Gongsun Kang, he couldn't even touch the edge, now it's okay, this old guy has no support, he can only give power to himself, and he scolded Gongsun Kang while he was happy, if he went to die early, why let himself wait so hard.
No one knew in Gongsun Gong's heart that an evil seed had taken root in it and began to sprout and grow.
"The child knows that he is shallow and shallow, and he is embarrassed by the big responsibility, and he still hopes that his father will teach him."
Gongsun Gong said cautiously.
Gongsun Du didn't know what Gongsun Gong thought, and thought that he would hand over the burden to him all of a sudden, he couldn't bear the pressure, and reassured: "My son doesn't have to worry too much, after I leave, if I don't decide about the rest, you can ask the chief bookkeeper Zhang Zi'an, the grain and grass dispatch must be prepared in advance, and Lu Bu will not be destroyed, and the old man will never turn back." ”
Poor Gongsun Du has a heart to protect his son, but he has raised a rebel son with the belly of a snake and scorpion, if he knows what Gongsun Gong thinks, I am afraid that he will die of anger.
Gongsun replied complimentarily: "The child remembers his father's teachings, and discusses everything with Master Zhang. ”
"That's great!"
Gongsun Du turned to Yang Yi again and said: "Liu Yi has a letter, Lu Butcher has heavy infantry, longbowmen, and cavalry battalions in his hands, and they are menacing, you go down to gather soldiers and horses from the three counties, and make more preparations, and the old man will gather heavy troops to encircle and suppress Lu Bu." ”
Yang Yi had a deep face, pursed his mouth, and admonished: "Lord, my subordinates think that we should not be too impatient at the moment, no matter how powerful Butcher Lu is, there are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, if the soldiers of the three counties are dispatched, once Yuan Shao breaks through Changli County, the consequences will be unimaginable!" ”
"Yuan Benchu decided on Youzhou, Wuhuan in the territory is not peaceful, An dares to violate my territory, Yangyi doesn't need to say much, I have made up my mind, if I don't kill Lu Bu, it is difficult to calm the hatred in my heart."
Yangyi loves to conspiracy, Liu Yi likes soldiers, the two complement each other, and have always been Gongsun Du's reliance, but now his most trusted general does not understand his grief, Gongsun Du panted and looked at Yang Yi in front of him in disappointment.
"The lord is angry, and his subordinates are also sad that the eldest prince died on the battlefield, and he can't wait to immediately raise his sword and go into battle, but if he doesn't plan carefully and rush into Lu Bu's trap indiscriminately, he has to compensate for the loss, and his subordinates suggest that the lord first break the pill capital, and then go down to Lelang County."
"Break the pill first? Yangyi, what kind of heart do you have? You proposed to attack Lelang County, and now that Kang'er's bones are gone, you let the old man attack Marudu City? ”
Gongsun Du began to be very angry and scolded Yangyi.
As a strategist, Yang Yi naturally wants to control the overall situation, originally thought that opening the door of Lelang County from Hun Mi City could kill Lu Bu by surprise, and then harass the enemy, how do you know that Lu Bu is more prepared than them, he has miscalculated, he can no longer let the mistake continue to develop, now the Wuhuan people and Zhang Liao are in a stalemate, once Gongsun Du joins, Zhang Liao will be defeated, and when the time comes, he will go back and outflank and suppress Lu Bu, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Yang Yi replied stubbornly: "The subordinates have no two hearts, but the lord is now attacking the Hanshui Lu Bu army formation, it is really not a superior strategy, the morale is already low, and the battle is deadlocked, if Yuan Shao sends a team of cavalry to kill into Changli County, what kind of troops do we use to counterattack, wouldn't it be a good choice for Yuan Shao." If the lord only recruited troops and horses from Liaodong County, Yuan Shao would not dare to act rashly, once the lord took Zhang Liao, broke Lu Bu's minions, and then coerced the Wuhuan people to go south, how could Lu Bu be undefeated,"
After hearing this, the resentment in Gongsun Du's heart also disappeared, and Yangyi's words were reasonable, and he sighed: "It's the old man who blames you, okay, so he will recruit the soldiers and horses of Liaodong County, and Keri will go out to the capital of the pill." ”
"Yes!"
Yang Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Gongsun Du still listened to his advice.
"My lord, this expedition can bring Zhu Dan and Zhu Tuo, the two of them are well-known in Goguryeo, but they can mutiny against Lu Bu's newly recruited soldiers before the battle."
Gongsun Du also promised that as long as he could cut Lu Bu to the roots, he could do anything, and others with a vengeful heart would not understand.
The two of them are closely preparing for gongs and drums, swords and swords, life and death, but Gongsun Gong is beside him, and his mind is full of women and status.
……
Inside Maruto Castle.
Zhang Liao leaned on the city wall, looking solemnly at the Wuhuan rangers running back and forth outside the city, nearly 20,000 Wuhuan rangers kept shuttling back and forth around the city of Marudu day and night.
The city of Marudu is small, and it is not enough to hold it for a long time, which is also the reason why the Goguryeo Throne Palace abandoned the city and Lu Bu fought to the death.
There are only 3,000 wolf cavalry and 4,000 servant troops in the city, once the city is broken or abandoned, the wolf cavalry can also quickly escape with the power of war horses, but these 3,000 servant troops will be wiped out, they have just experienced the destruction of the country and the family, and their hearts have not yet settled down, they will meet a new death, and the fear is becoming more and more serious.
Hanshui is the gateway to the south of Lelang County, and Marudu City is the gateway to the north, once the Wuhuan people break through the Marudu City and connect the Bone Capital, the entire vast grassland will be flat, there is no danger to defend at all, Zhang Liao did not dare to withdraw easily.
A few days ago, Lu Bu wrote only eight words in his letter: Do your best, do what you can! To this day, Zhang Liao still hasn't been able to guess Lu Bu's intentions, whether to stick to it or abandon it?
He has fought with the Wuhuan people a few times, the Wuhuan people are more cunning and difficult than the Goguryeo people, the short crossbows in their hands are very headaches, well-trained, extremely accurate, every time they charge, this group of people are roundabout charging and entangled, they can't find a breakthrough point at all, and thousands of servants have died in it.
"General, there is not much food in the city, hold out for three more days at most."
A Sima walked in front of Zhang Liao, worried, like the Central Plains, the Central Plains will collect grain in the city in the Central Plains for emergencies, and in the grassland area outside the Saiwai, the main food sources are usually cattle and sheep, and these animals are stored on the grassland.
The cattle and sheep outside the city of Marudu had long been divided up by the Wuhuan people, and together with the five thousand Goguryeo female slaves, they were also carried back to the camp by the Wuhuan people as spoils.
Marudu City is already in danger, as the coach, Zhang Liao must make a decision, and he can't continue to stalemate, and he can only wait for death when the time comes.
Zhang Liao stood up straight, looked at the wolf's mane banner not far away, his eyes were bloody, and said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, tonight the soldiers will be divided into two roads, the wolf cavalry battalion will attack from the front, and reach the camp of the commander of the Wuhuan people, once the Wuhuan people are chaotic, the four thousand servant army will come out from the south gate, advance quickly to the east, and blend into the Gaima Mountain twenty miles away." ”
Unexpectedly, the city of Marudu can no longer be defended, and even the entire Saibei grassland can be abandoned, Zhang Liao can only retreat and take the second place to guard the Gaima Mountain Road, which is the only way for the Wuhuan people to go south to Lelang County and Daifang County, relying on the favorable terrain, Zhang Liao is confident that he will continue to negotiate with the Wuhuan cavalry.
"Yes!"
