Chapter Twenty-Seven: Do and Think and Get Knowledge
At the beginning of March, Lu Longsai and the White Horse Flag were fluttering along the spring wind on the Wangri Tower, but inside and outside the fortress, between the green mountains and green waters, it had already turned into a huge barracks.
"How many are there now?" Gongsun Xun walked from the Wangri Tower with a knife, followed by countless generals such as Lou Gui, Han Dang, Gao Shun, Han Hao, Tian Yu, Yang Kai, Wei Yue and so on.
"About twenty thousand." Han Hao, who was in charge of the general affairs of the Chinese army, immediately replied. "The main reason is that the prince has an order, and the people and horses mobilized by the three counties of Guangyang are the first to the west of Yuyang Chengduwei, so the Zhuang Ding who arrived in Lulongsai at this time are mainly the two counties of Beiping and Liaoxi, but there are many rangers, good families, and children of the family who want to make contributions with the prince and marquis, so there are so many people and horses."
Gongsun Xun frowned slightly when he heard this: "If you talk about it single-handedly, it is naturally better for these people, but if tens of thousands of troops go out of the fortress, it is better to use ordinary people to be strong, so that the order can be prohibited, and the army will be cleaned up, leaving no flaws." β
"That's right." Lou Gui said casually. "But there is no way to mobilize in a big way, not only people, but also the weapons in the treasury of various places and the food in Changping, it will take time. On the contrary, it is these rangers, good families, and family members who bring their own mounts, weapons, and rations that can come faster, as well as those outside the Saiwai......"
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but stop when he heard this, and then looked to the north from the Wangri Tower...... It turned out that there were also many military camps in a row. But compared to the already somewhat chaotic camp south of Louronse, the barracks here were more disorganized and tattered.
This is actually Hu Bing, who came to 'defect' to Gongsun Xun.
You must know that the so-called saying of the hundred ethnic groups outside the Saiwai has always existed, and in Liaoxi, the common power boundary of the Xianbei people, Wuhuan people, and Han people, this kind of blood source and origin are naturally more complex and concentrated.
Back to the present, no matter how weak the Han family is, the Han people are also the head of the three major forces in western Liaoning, no matter how much Gongsun Xun doesn't pay attention to Saiwai, he is also a native of the head of the Han family in western Liaoning, and his influence is also there. Therefore, when these miscellaneous hus heard that Gongsun Xun personally mobilized the army to prepare for the Wuhuan people, naturally many tribes took the initiative to join the ...... Or rather, if these miscellaneous beards don't come, it's weird.
"If those rangers and good families in the back are just not worth it, these people are useless!" Gongsun Xun watched it for a long time, and he could only come to this conclusion. "After they get out of the fortress, they are just taking advantage of their familiarity with geography to be guides, or they can be sent out to be scouts to protect the flanks."
Everyone bowed their heads in agreement.
"If you wait for the three counties to be fully mobilized, how many days will it take?" Gongsun Xun returned to the original topic. "Can they be mobilized in batches according to their county...... In the early stage, it may not require so many troops to take Guanzi City. β
"It's better to be cautious." Lou Gui tried his best to persuade him. "Even if Guanzicheng is easy to go down, Liucheng is a hard bone, and when the war will end will be calculated by Liucheng's gains and losses."
Gongsun Xun also had nothing to say.
"Prince!" At this moment, in the distance, Xi Zhong suddenly flashed out of the atrium of Lu Longsai and hurriedly ascended the building, and then shouted from afar. Lu Changshi sent an urgent letter...... You should definitely take a look. β
Seeing this, Han Dang almost instinctively stopped, turned around and walked back, forcing many generals and officials behind him to take the initiative to retreat, leaving only Gongsun Xun and Lou Gui here. And Gongsun Xun took the letter from Xi Zhicai's hand unexpectedly, and after reading it roughly, there was no change in his expression, so he handed it directly to Lou Zibo behind him.
However, after reading it, Lou Gui's expression moved slightly: "Liu Zhoumu listened to Xian Yufu's advice, and when he arrived at Xuanshui, he turned around and left, and went to Shanggu instead, and he also wanted to recruit Yan Rou?" And recommended the captain of Wuhuan to be an official, so as to give Yan Rou a position? β
"The most important thing is that before Liu Yu returned to Shanggu, he actually let his son go to Changping to inform Ziheng of his overall plan, and Ziheng, who originally wanted to hold Yan Rou and Xian Yufu's family, didn't know what to do, so he could only send a letter here quickly." Xi Zhong said helplessly. "Liu Boan is really ......"
"Liu Bo'an is really idle." Gongsun Xun sneered, holding the knife in his waist to interrupt his henchman's words. "It's salted fish and cured meat, and he can swallow it?"
"Prince......" Lou Gui put away the letter after a moment's thought. This is not a cause for concern, but perhaps it is still a good thing...... After all, in this way, Xianbei Kebi will inevitably be at a loss. And when the prince calmly captures Liucheng, ends the rebellion, and raises a large army to return to the division, the places like Daijun and Shanggu are just a small situation, and no matter what the prince does, it will be easy. The only thing to worry about is that this fashion is in wartime, is Yan Rou credible? β
"Credible." Gongsun Xun wrote lightly that the reason why this is so is not only his own understanding of Yan Rou, but also his vague memory of Yan Rou's performance in his mother's story, this guy seems to be quite loyal to Liu Yu.
"Then leave him alone for now, right?" Lou Gui became more and more relieved.
"That being said." Xi Zhong couldn't help but shake his head. "If the prince can't react, I'm afraid that the hearts of the people in Youzhou will be shaken, right? Who would have thought that Xian Yu, who is in our heartland, would have the courage to go directly to others? Who would have thought that Yan Rou, whose parents were both under our noses, would dare to abandon the prince and marquis and covet the position of 2,000 stones through others? Such people were, are, and will continue to be! β
"I know." Gongsun Xun glanced at Lou Zibo next to him, and then nodded. "But at this time, when the battle situation is the most important, how can you be distracted to manage Shanggu and Daijun? Or is what Uncle Zi said right, when the battle is over, bring a big victory and raise a large army to deal with this matter, or let us do it? β
"But you can take Guanzi City first and kill Zhang Ju as a demonstration." Xi Zhicai raised his head and suggested. "Political matters are dealt with politically, Liu Yu is in Shanggu, that is, to recruit Yan Rou, at most, it is just to let Kebi rejoin the Han family and turn the enemy into an alliance. And Zhang Ju, who was stationed in Guanzi City, was not only good at calling the Son of Heaven, but also from the Yuyang clan, if the prince could personally capture Guanzi City, he would immediately kill this fang and pass on the head of Youzhou...... Whether it is an official in Youzhou or a local wealthy family, they must be able to recognize the reality. β
Gongsun Xun hesitated for a moment, after all, he had just discussed the matter with Lou Gui.
But......
"I know what the prince and uncle think, but this matter has nothing to do with military affairs, it is purely a political matter." Xi Zhong immediately added. "And I've thought about it too...... According to our original plan, that is, there is a large army here as the backup before we can go out to attack Guanzi City. But in fact, think about it, now that there is a steady stream of reinforcements behind us, when we capture Guanzi City, the reinforcements here will definitely be complete, and we are not afraid of the Wuhuan people to fight. The only difference is that the prince may need to go to Guanzi City in person first, and then turn back as planned, and then lead the army to attack Chengde. β
Gongsun Xun glanced at Lou Gui again, but the latter just twisted his beard and did not refute it, which made the former feel at ease.
"That being the case," Gongsun Xun immediately replied with a sneer. "Let Yigong come to guard the city, with Gao Suqing as the vanguard, and I'll follow behind."
"You always have to use more soldiers and horses." Lou Gui finally spoke. "Be sure."
Gongsun Xun naturally agreed.
The plan was decided, and everyone no longer thought about it, but immediately acted with Gongsun Xun's new order.
First of all, those Han rangers, Liangjiazi, and children of the Shi clan who brought their own mounts and weapons to join the army were organized into battalions according to their hometowns, and then a large amount of grain and grass was sent to the Zahu military camp outside the city. What made these people even more excited was that on the evening of the same day, Gongsun Xun actually held a banquet in Lulongsai in person, entertaining the leaders of the children of the counties who came to join the army in the early stage, as well as the leaders of Zahu in the north of Lulongsai.
Among them, there are many words of comfort and comfort, and corporal Lixian's actions, so there is no need to repeat them again and again.
Three days later, Gongsun Xun officially took Han Dang and Lou Gui as the guards, guarded Lu Longsai, and prepared to receive the mobilization of troops from the subsequent counties; With Gao Shun as the striker and Wei Yue as the deputy, he led Gao Suqing's headquarters to have 1,000 elites, all of whom rode horses, plus 2,000 selected cavalry, and went directly to Guanzi City, which was two hundred miles away.
In the end, Gongsun Xun himself raised the white horse flag, took the scepter of the Son of Heaven that he had just received, took Xi Zhong, Han Hao, Yang Kai, Tian Yu and other generals, and led the 7,000 cavalry that had just been reorganized, and more than ten Saiwai Zahu tribes supported the two wings, and actually followed behind the two generals Gao and Wei in person, and pushed towards Guanzi City without hurrying or slowing.
In the spring, the grass grows outside the plug, the breeze is gentle, and the city of Chengde effectively blocks the passage of these two hundred miles in the west, so it is as easy as playing in the mountains and rivers along the way.
And after traveling along the Liaoxi Passage for only four days, walking about one hundred and sixty or seventy miles, a report suddenly came from the front, and it was actually Gao Shun and Wei Yue who had captured Guanzi City and captured Zhang Ju!
Gongsun Xun was pleasantly surprised, and after asking carefully, he learned that after Gao Shun and Wei Yue marched 200 miles in three days to reach Guanzi City, they found that Zhang Ju's headquarters in the city were extremely weak and caught off guard, so they dismounted and fought, and directly hit Zhang Ji off guard...... Although Guanzi City itself is a fortress-like small city built to lock up Xianbei, Zhang Ju's headquarters is mostly ordinary Han people who he has taken captive and coerced out, and they are the disciples and guests of his own family who made trouble with him that day, and he never expected that this guy would be so mad that he called himself the Son of Heaven, so his people have already lost the hearts of the people, and they will inevitably collapse at the touch of a touch!
In other words, the capture of Guan Zicheng and Zhang Ju was effortless.
Of course, Gongsun Xun is the general of the frontier in the end, and he did not forget to be cautious while he was excited, and he continued to march rigorously.
However, on the evening of the fifth day of the Expulsion, Gongsun Xun came to Guanzi City, which he had passed through countless times when he was a teenager, and saw Zhang Ju who was captured with his own eyes, and he was completely relieved - there was no conspiracy, Zhang Ju, who claimed to be the Son of Heaven, was captured by World War I, and as an important node in the attack on Liucheng, Guanzi City was defeated in World War I.
"Why do you call the Son of Heaven?" Facing Zhang Ju, who was trembling on the ground, Xi Zhong couldn't help but ask curiously, and this remark also aroused the curiosity of most of the officers in the city, and even ordinary soldiers. "You are also qualified to be called the Son of Heaven like this?"
"It's not what I'm going to weigh!" Zhang Ju raised his head and replied with a sad face. "But Qiu Liju and Collapse said that they were defeated in three battles, so it is better to call the Son of Heaven a strong army, and such words may also be able to coax the allegiance of the Miscellaneous Hu who came to the Saiwai Dynasty......"
"And then you will be called the Son of Heaven?" Xi Zhong was speechless. "You have also been a child of the border county clan for two thousand stones, right? How can you be so unbearable, and you don't even have the slightest idea of your own? β
"Not really." Zhang Ju, who was lying on the ground, suddenly turned his head to look at Gongsun Xun, who had been speechless. "General Wei...... It is ridiculous that I am called the Son of Heaven, but it is also due to current events. Do you remember? The year before last, there happened to be a woman in Luoyang who gave birth to a double-headed child, and the news spread to Youzhou, and everyone talked about it, saying that this was the decline of the Han family, and the Lord had the meaning of double lords in the world...... General Wei, I am called the Son of Heaven, although it is ridiculous, today's defeat certainly shows that I, a sinner, do not have the mandate of heaven, but it is absolutely impossible for the Han family to be revived! β
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Seeing that Gongsun Xun didn't even look at the person on the ground, Xi Zhong came over and asked curiously.
"General Wei! Thistle! Zhang Ju was full of expectation and kowtowed. I just understood today! Destiny is not mine, but you! Gongsun's illness has been established...... It's not about Emperor Xuan, it's about the general! Now, I'll give you the position of the Son of Heaven and just want to live, how about it?! β
As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers in the city who were watching the 'Son of Heaven' changed color...... After all, even if he is a white ding, at least he knows that the meaning of this sentence is that Gongsun Xun is the one who wants to be the Son of Heaven; And a little bit of culture, but even more suspicious!
You must know that although Zhang Ju talked nonsense, he mentioned a very interesting thing, that is, the sentence 'Gongsun is sick'.
This sentence is not made up, but a strange thing that really appeared during the period of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty in history, saying that there were aphids eating leaves in Shanglin Yuan, and these five words were eaten hard, causing an uproar in the world.
Of course, this matter was later believed to be due to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, that is, Liu Aiji, the great-grandson of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was living among the people at that time. The most reliable interpretation is also that there are residual forces in Shanglin Yuan that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty abolished the crown prince Liu Ju, and they have deliberately created it in order to build momentum for Liu Yi.
However, in the late Han Dynasty, Wang Mang rebelled, and there was a separatist warlord named Gongsun Shu in Shu...... So he simply proclaimed himself emperor in Shu.
Later, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu unified most of China, and wrote a letter to Gongsun Shu, which probably means that the world is in turmoil, everyone is fighting for power, and it is understandable that you were called the emperor or something, if you can surrender, the dead people in the province, I will always have you safe and rich for a lifetime. As a result, Gongsun Shu didn't know what was going on, so he actually took this Wei Wei to debate with Liu Xiu, not to say that the person of destiny was himself.
As for Liu Xiu, he is also very particular about Wei Wei, and in order to compete for orthodoxy, he actually debated with Gongsun Shu in the air. The two discussed and discussed, and finally took the moving of Gongsun Shu's family as the final result, announcing the glorious victory of Emperor Guangwu.
In short, after this argument, the sentence 'Gongsun is ill has been established' has almost become the second proverb of the Han dynasty after 'the Han dynasty should be Tu Gao'. Of course, compared to the latter, which is still arguing and being longed for by careerists, the former has a thoroughly accepted interpretation...... That is to say, Emperor Xuan Liu is ill, and Gongsun Shu told the world with the life of his whole family, not the person surnamed Gongsun.
But back to the present, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the world is in turmoil, the whole state of Liangzhou has rebelled, the Qingxu Yellow Turban has risen again, the Taihang Mountain bandits have gathered millions of people, and half of the state is in chaos, and even now even Youzhou has rebelled, and the whole state is divided into two halves...... In such a situation, if you want to say that everyone is a stupid fork and a madman like Zhang Ju, you will inevitably look down on everyone, but if you don't mutter in your heart, it's impossible!
So, everyone looked at Gongsun Xun in astonishment.
And Gongsun Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what the other party meant...... Speaking of which, this is the first time that someone has persuaded him to weigh in the south!
Do you want to reward the other person?
So, General Wei Gongsun Xun waved his hand again and again in line with the principle of not being out of sight and not being upset, signaling Wei Yue to immediately cut this person down! Then he returned to Lulongsai overnight with the head, but passed the first Youzhou to set the record straight.
Then, his people stayed in Guanzi City with peace of mind, on the one hand, to take the opportunity to win over more Zahu tribes in the surrounding area, and on the other hand, to renovate Guanzi City as a precaution...... According to the plan, if Han Dang and Lou Gui were well prepared on Lu Longsai's side, he would immediately return to the division, lead his troops to the west, and join forces with Cheng Pu to capture Chengde City, and then go back to take Liucheng.
However, he only stayed in Guanzi City for two days, and he didn't wait for the information of Han Dang and Lou Gui behind him, but waited for the message from Duan Ri Yu Ming first.
"Prince!" The person who came was identified by Yi Zhongduan Ri Yuming's younger brother that he indeed belonged to the Duan Department, and as soon as he saw Gongsun Xun, he immediately kowtowed, and then provided an information. "Junhou, my master asked me to tell Junhou that Liucheng is empty and can fight down!"
"How?" Gongsun Xun was curious for a while.
"First of all, Xianbei Kebi Neng Department made a mess!" The man kowtowed again, but he said two things in succession. "Qiu Liju sent Mudun to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to the west to support Kebineng. Then, Liaodong Wuhuan Su Fuyan, who had been said to be moved before, also suddenly asked for help, saying that the previous Liaodong Zhao Taishou suddenly appeared in Liaodong, Liaodong Wuhuan only had five or six thousand men and horses, and he was frightened, and Qiu Liju was also very frightened when he heard that Zhao Taishou was back, and he actually personally led more than 10,000 troops to help...... Now in Liucheng, there are only five or six thousand Wuhuan soldiers guarding Qiu Liju's underage son Lou Ban! And not long after Qiu Liju left, he heard that the prince had captured Guanzi City, and my master was overjoyed, so he asked me to try to find the prince, saying that if the prince could quickly lead thousands of elite cavalry to Liucheng, he would either open the city, or take advantage of the war to lead troops to raid Louban, and it could be decided in one battle! β
Gongsun Xun immediately believed it in his heart...... Because whether it is the civil strife in the Kebineng Department or the panic caused by Zhao Bao's appearance in Liaodong, it is expected. Even if Qiu Liju wanted to cheat, it was impossible to get these two things at the same time.
In addition, Duan Ri Yuming is also a reliable person in the eyes of Gongsun Xun, and the reason why the Han army was able to easily defeat the Wuhuan people in Sene before was mostly because of this person who took advantage of the chaos to pass on information...... The reason why Zhao Bao chose him as the object of official support from the Han family back then was because he took a fancy to this person's loyalty and honesty.
However, although he believed the other party, Gongsun Xun was Gongsun Xun after all, and his more than ten years of military career gave him the most basic military qualities of a military commander. At this time, he would not take risks easily because the information was credible.
Again, further north of Guanzi City, until the three hundred miles in front of Liucheng, there is no support at all...... Chengde City was watched, and he could only roughly ensure that Lu Long's two hundred miles to Guanzi City would not be outflanked, and if he wanted to avoid being outflanked in the next three hundred miles, he had to at least include Chengde City in his hands.
So, Gongsun Xun comforted this person with kind words, and let him be taken down, and then he still did not move.
But on the second day, an urgent letter suddenly came from Luronseβnot military affairs, but the word that several horses had been exhausted, and the Son of Heaven collapsed.
The Son of Heaven, who has been cursed by the people of the world for more than half a year, has struggled for more than half a year since he was sure that his body is irretrievable, and has made many arrangements, but he still did not survive February...... It is said that before his death, he was already swollen and speechless, and could only look at Jian Shuo with tears in his eyes while reluctantly pointing to his young son Liu Xie.
If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place?!
