Chapter 3 Actions are about to begin

The first preparation was for the production of weapons such as Xiangyang iron knives, repeating crossbows, saddles, stirrups, horseshoes, compasses, and binoculars.

After Gongsun Kang assigned the work to Zhang Huaiyuan, he began to busy with the second preparation.

The second preparation was the collection of detailed information on the Wuheng tribe in eastern Liaodong.

Gongsun Kang sent Zhen Jiang's chamber of commerce to trade liquor and horses in the various tribes of Wuheng, and at the same time collect intelligence; Cao Huachun was instructed to strengthen the establishment of the Youzhou intelligence point, and vigorously bribed the merchants and unsatisfactory petty nobles of Wuheng, so that they could provide information about the internal situation of the Wuheng tribe.

also extracted dozens of Wuheng soldiers from Xiao Jia of the system, and there were still some Wuheng people from Youbeiping among the alien slaves sold to him by Gongsun Zhan, so Xiao Jia had the right to draw Wuheng soldiers. Gongsun Kang sent these Wuheng armor soldiers to infiltrate the Wuheng tribe in eastern and western Liaodong to collect intelligence.

One of the items in the information is to see how many condor archers the Wuheng people are good at equestrian and mounted archery, Gongsun Kang not only regards them as opponents in battle, but also regards them as future combat partners, and wants to save all the Wuheng eagle archers as much as possible. Accept them and let them die for themselves in the future.

Equestrianism is what the Wuhuan people are good at, and most children can get under the belly of the horse and let the horse run away. Archery is also basically a necessary skill for every adult Wuhuan person, and the difference between Wuhuan people is only the level of archery.

A month later, when all the preparations were halfway through, Gongsun Kang placed a deposit with Gongsun Chan to order 10,000 aliens, not necessarily young and strong, the elderly, children, and women could use it urgently, and Gongsun Kang was willing to pay a high price. It is best to be Wuheng people, and the price of each Wuheng person can be doubled.

As a result, Gongsun Zhan hurriedly gathered an army of 10,000 people, successively took 3 Wuheng tribes in Youbeiping, and obtained more than 20,000 prisoners. However, when trading with Liaodong, Gongsun Chan specified that he wanted silver. Because silver is now a rare commodity, the Han Dynasty produced little to no production, so during the Han Dynasty, silver was more valuable than gold. After the last time Gongsun Kang used gold and silver, Gongsun Chan fell in love with these small silver things, and after melting them, he made a lot of silverware and put them in his palace.

Because the price given by Gongsun Kang was high, and there were many Wuheng people captured by Gongsun Zhan, he couldn't be busy, so he directly sent all the prisoners over. Wuheng people are young and strong, old and weak, women and children, and it is rare that this time the young captives were not castrated.

At the time of handing over the captives, Gongsun Kang asked people to bring a letter to Gongsun Zhan.

There are two main contents in the letter:

1. If you fight with Yuan Shao, don't use the 20 miles in front of the boundary bridge as a battlefield. Because the terrain of the boundary bridge is too narrow, it is not conducive to the formation of Youzhou iron cavalry.

2, the advantage of the white horse is speed, if you are crowded in a heap, you can't gallop and swim, it is a group of lambs to be slaughtered, even the infantry is not as good.

Gongsun Kang imagined the scene of the Battle of Jieqiao: Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses resisted the white horse Yicong with a large iron shield, and then fired a salvo with a thousand strong crossbows, and the three thousand white horse Yicong who were crowded into a pile fell off their horses one after another, and the retreat was blocked by tens of thousands of infantry on Gongsun Zhan's side. can only be slaughtered by Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, and after the First World War, the white horse righteousness is gone.

Gongsun Kang thought that this letter was very important, and personally sent a soldier to deliver the letter, and repeatedly told him that it must be delivered to Gongsun Zhan, and asked Gongsun Chan to open it in person.

After Gongsun Chan received the letter, he did read it in person. But after seeing it, he laughed it and said to the soldiers: "My eldest nephew is too underestimated by his uncle's white horse righteousness, the white horse righteousness is invincible, and the charge is first-class." I don't believe it will be slaughtered by Yuan Shao's infantry. ”

Gongsun Kang was speechless for a long time when he heard this reply. Obey the mandate of heaven and do his own thing, even if he does his own thing, he has no way to forcibly command Gongsun Zhan's army.

When Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Chan handed over the prisoners of Wuheng, Gongsun Kang deliberately carried out it with great fanfare outside Xiangping City. The onlookers in Liaodong who ate melons feasted their eyes, and soon spread around Liaodong County.

Su Fuyan, the lord of Wuhuan in Liaodong, learned that Gongsun Kang had bought 20,000 Wuheng people from Youbeiping, so he sent someone to ask for it. And Youzhou Mu Liu Yu also ordered the return of the Wuheng prisoners.

All of this is completely consistent with the plan of the Liaodong Strategist Group.

Gongsun Kang then took 10 retinues to the Wuheng tribe of Liaodong's vassal country to go to the banquet alone to discuss the return of the captives. After all, these captives were bought by Gongsun Kang for real money, not by a strong wind, and it was impossible for Su Fuyan to go back without paying something. Everyone understands this, and it is time to sit down and talk.

Although everyone was worried about Gongsun Kang's safety, Gongsun Kang insisted on going to the Wuheng tribe in Liaodong in person.

Gongsun Kang is the person who is not afraid of ambushes, not to mention his own combat strength, just saying that he has a system small armor is equivalent to carrying thousands of soldiers with him, and the system elite soldiers can be summoned at any time.

This time, the strategy was formulated based on this: Gongsun Kang rode alone to the banquet, the center blossomed, and summoned the Wuheng Iron Cavalry Camp.

At the same time, Zhao Yun gathered 5,000 Liaodong iron cavalry, and the army was equipped with 1,000 Xiangyang iron knives and 1,000 repeating crossbows. Half an hour after Gongsun Kang set off, he also began to set off, secretly surrounding the tribe of the Wuheng people in Liaodong.

This is a deterrent force, and it does not necessarily participate in combat, but it must be prepared for a hard attack.
