Chapter 340: Home and Country, Righteousness and Righteousness (4)
It was dark, a mat had burned out, the case was burned black, and the barbecue grill and charcoal that had fallen on the ground had already been cold, and there were still ashes. In the breeze, Gongsun Zhanlun's scarf fluttered, and when Yang Feng and Li Ding were probably sorting out a few cases, the two horses walked away towards Fuyang City with laughter.
Although there were some times of tension at the beginning, this meal was generally a pleasure for both guests and hosts. Once some of the words were spoken, and Liu Yu's ribbon and letter were here, the attitude between the two sides at least showed that they were friendly again, as if the incident had never happened at all.
Otun seemed to have made up his mind to make the Bunton side anxious, and it seemed like he hadn't enjoyed it much for a long time, and this small banquet lasted for three hours, and even brought dinner, before he dispersed contentedly.
During the period, I don't know if it was a tacit understanding between the two sides, for what happened in Jixian County, Wei Dun didn't ask, Gongsun Zhan didn't mention it, and even the deployment of troops in Fuyang City, Wen Zeyan Gang and how to deal with the troops such as Bang Dun, neither side had any temptation, and they didn't even mention a word.
In this afternoon, Gongsun Zhan, Wei Dun, and Zhang Yi avoided the important and trivial, and what they said was something relatively insignificant to both of them.
The topic mainly focused on Gongsun Du, Xianbei Wuhuan around Shanggu, as well as the movements of the Yellow Turbans, Montenegro, and other states.
Regarding this, Gongsun Chan knew everything, and told Wei Dun and Zhang Yi some of the situations and speculations he had learned.
Two months have passed, and these forces have certainly not remained unchanged.
In fact, as early as the end of July, Gongsun Du sent troops. In the name of persuading Wuhuan not to mess around, he led 15,000 cavalry and carried baggage towards Youbeiping County, but as of the information of these two days, Wuhuan 100,000 people crossed Yuyang and Guangyang, and attacked the city all the way.
It is said that in the past few days, Gongsun Du knew that he could not control the situation in Youzhou, and had already marched towards Yuyang County, but the name was changed, and it became a stern condemnation of Yuyang Taishou Wang Song's private use of soldiers to cause misery, and then questioned Wang Song's unauthorized use of troops, and felt that Wang Song had a counterintention, so he led troops to prepare to deter on the side, in case Wang Song colluded with Wuhuan and was unfavorable to Jixian County.
This reason seems to be well understood, and after careful consideration, it is naturally bullshit. However, Sun Jin, the Taishou of Youbeiping, really believed the reason why Gongsun Du was late because of the difficult journey, and not only accepted Gongsun Du's help, but also gave Gongsun Du 8,000 soldiers and horses.
Even if most of the 8,000 men and horses were the Yellow Turban Army that defected to Sun Jin after being defeated by Wu Huan, it was an indisputable fact that Gongsun Du's strength had greatly increased, and at the same time, Sun Jin's attitude had to make people suspect that he also had some other thoughts.
Of course, in the process of Gongsun Du's westward journey, the problem was not only Sun Jin, the Taishou of Youbeiping, but also the county soldiers of Liaoxi County and the rebels of all parties - more precisely, the men and horses under Gongsun Zhan and the local forces attached to him.
It was Otun who raised this question.
After all, Gongsun Zhan's clan is rooted in Liaoxi, and when he served as the governor of Liaodong in the past, he made enemies with many Wuhuan tribes in the northeast of Liaoxi County, for the development of the clan, and in order to be able to send troops to the northeast of Liaoxi at any time, the entire Liaoxi County In fact, the Taishou appointed by Liu Yu did not control much troops, and even the post of Taishou was in vain, and it was Gongsun Chan and his clansmen and henchmen who were really in power.
The western part of Liaoning is vast and sparsely populated, abandoning many terrains such as wilderness and deserts, there are only a few actual cities, and the troops are relatively concentrated, which is not difficult to manage, and it is naturally not difficult to gain insight into the troops of Gongsun Du who pass through various passes and official roads, and give a blow.
However, even when Xun Yu was appointed as the Taishou of Liaodong and Gongsun Chan also cooperated with each other, many cities in western Liaoning still had to let Gongsun Du pass through Liaoxi and enter Youbeiping.
This ridicule actually meant something else, Gongsun Zhan knew it, but he also knew that after he handed over the talisman, it was related to the east of Yuyang, and he couldn't intervene for the time being - this matter itself actually happened after his approval.
It's just that he didn't tell Wei Dun these words, only that Gongsun Yue was unwilling to be attacked by Wu Huan, and had already gathered people to chase after him, so that Liaoxi County may have been negligent. What's more, the terrain of Liaoxi County is complicated, and there are still trails in the eastern boundary of Xianbei that can cross Liaoxi County all the way to Lulongsai, which traverses Liaoxi and Youbeiping County, and it is difficult to say that Gongsun Du did not directly arrive in Youbeiping from the eastern part of Xianbei, so it seems that Liaoxi County is slow to respond.
After mentioning this point, he passed the topic, but Tail Dun listened to it and asked about the situation in the eastern part of Xianbei.
Not too many people know about this, Gongsun Chan has actually called people to inquire many times, but he has not received much information, and even Mo Huba's side has not received much news. However, if there is an anomaly, it has been since the beginning of May.
At the beginning of May, there was also a grand event in the eastern part of Xianbei, Suli, Micah and Jiji brought many tribes together to hold a feast, to the border of the upper valley led by Demo Huba, the central part of Xianbei was waved to the border, Youzhou began to have signs of chaos, but the three tribes were separated after the event, honestly watched from the sidelines, and four months later, they were still watching from their own sidelines - from the perspective of Xianbei has always liked to take advantage of Youzhou, Liu Yu is critically ill, Youzhou is about to fall apart, but the three of them are not moving, Even the central part of North Korea did not start, which can be called the biggest anomaly.
After that, he also put aside the eastern part of Xianbei and talked about the central and western parts of Xianbei, as well as Daijun Wuhuan.
After the Dun was broken, nearly 80,000 Wuhuan people in Shanggu were captured by Mo Huba's 100,000 army and their morale was low, but it is not that there are no disputes with the Xianbei army, but Mo Huba is not easy to deal with, dividing and dividing, killing chickens and monkeys, controlling grain and grass, reducing the impact to a minimum, and subduing several Wuhuan tribes during the period.
Probably because Kebi can be trapped in Youzhou, in order to highlight his sincerity, it is related to the specific movements of the Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu, in fact, Mo Hubao has been reporting to Gongsun Zhan. So Gongsun Zhan also knew that about 10,000 Wuhuan people died under the butcher's knife, famine, and disease, and more than 10,000 Wuhuan men who were so hungry that they couldn't stand it had been taken north to the central part of Xianbei by 10,000 Xianbei iron horses. This also means that there are about 60,000 people left in the Ning County area, just waiting for Gongsun Zan and Liu Zheng to bring people to receive them.
Of course, when talking to Wei Dun, Gongsun Zhan said that the person receiving it was Liu Yu, and also emphasized that the 60,000 people, including the old and weak, women and children, were mixed with many Wuhuan ordinary people. In the words, he also ridiculed that these 60,000 people seemed to be tormented by the middle of Xianbei, and felt that Liu Yu was good, and really wanted to belong to them.
When Gongsun Chan said this, he actually had a bit of a sarcasm for the Wuhuan people to bully the soft and afraid of the hard, and Wei Dun probably felt that Gongsun Chan was making some ridicule of Liu Yu's weakness, but he also followed Gongsun Zhan's words and sarcastically said that he asked Gongsun Chan to send someone to inform Mo Huba, and asked him to place the 60,000 Wuhuan people in the two cities of Guangning and Ning County, and he was also willing to issue a few orders, and then Gongsun Chan beat him perfunctory.
However, Gongsun Zhan didn't really want these 60,000 Wuhuan people, he just wanted the population, and he didn't want to do so much, he just didn't want to watch Liu Yu digest the 60,000 Wuhuan people who had enemies with him, so as not to be unfavorable to him in the future - at this time, he was more hopeful that Liu Zheng and Xun Yu would be able to settle these 60,000 people.
As for the central Xianbei region, when they learned that Mo Huba's 100,000 army contained the nearly 80,000 Wuhuan people, the three Putou brothers did not take advantage of the gap to attack the central Xianbei region, but they were blocked by Ke Zhi, the general of the central Xianbei region.
It's just that after all, there are 100,000 people left in the upper valley realm, and the war within Xianbei is still relatively tight, so Mo Hubao captured more than 10,000 Wuhuan captives to support Ke Zhi's deeds.
During this period, Gongsun Chan remembered something, smiled and said more, which made Zhang Yidu frown.
If this thing is said to be big, it is not a big deal, but if it is said to be small, it is not a trivial matter - it is that Kebineng's eldest daughter slept with Yu Zhuyu, who had been beaten by Liu Zheng.
In Xianbei customs, it is not an intolerable thing for couples to sleep together before they get married, even if this marriage in the future is a certainty, especially Yu Zhuqian is not looking for another woman, the big man makes an analogy, Kebineng's eldest daughter is clearly a princess-level character, it can be said that in the future, Yu Zhuqian can't escape if he wants to.
Weidun Zhang Yi didn't think that Yu Zhu's decision to sleep with Kebineng's eldest daughter would make Kebineng unhappy, but he felt that in this way, under the influence of Yu Zhuying, the Kebineng tribe may not be too friendly to the Han people in the future, and it will even affect the relationship between the entire central Xianbei and the Han Dynasty, and Gongsun Zhan said that after Yu Zhuqi made the girl pregnant, he had already entered the upper valley to support him with five thousand Xianbei people gathered from many tribes.
However, Gongsun Zhan just made them eat the idea of deflated, and after finishing speaking, he went around to the topic of Daijun Wuhuan.
Because there have always been relatively few Han people in Daijun, there is little contact between Wuhuan and Han people in Daijun, and Pufulu is self-reliant, and he has not had frequent contact with relatively friendly Han tribes such as Bangdun and Kebineng, so he can be regarded as the type of Wuhuan people who are most alienated from the Han people in Youzhou.
After learning of the defeat of the Dun army, Pu Fulu did not give up, while Putou and others attacked the central part of Xianbei, he also led his subordinates to copy the Dai County, and then learned that Zhang Man Chengtian Kai led 30,000 infantry and 20,000 cavalry soldiers in the modern county, so he also took 20,000 Wuhuan iron cavalry to resist.
To a certain extent, the dispute between Pufulu and Zhang Mancheng is the most tragic and longest-lasting battle within the boundaries of Youzhou in the past few months.
From the beginning of Zhang Mancheng and Tian Kai leading 50,000 horses to force Pufulu to retreat, to Pufulu adding another 10,000 iron cavalry to defeat 50,000 people, and then to Zhang Mancheng, Tian Kai, and Zou Dan assembling the defeated army and feintting to kill Pufulu's 5,000 cavalry, at the same time, Tai Shici and Zhang Yan led 10,000 cavalry to raid Daijun, sneak attack on Pufulu's rear, break eight tribes in a row, kill more than 10,000 people, and slaughter Pufulu's tribes, including Pufulu's family, the whole thing can be regarded as entering the stage of non-death.
After that, Pu Fulu was completely enraged, gathered a total of 50,000 iron cavalry from the Wuhuan tribe of Dai County, and also asked Putou to send troops to assist in attacking the two armies led by Zhang Mancheng Tiankai and Tai Shici Zhang Yan, but Zhang Mancheng and others were not stupid, once Putou sent troops, he asked Mo Huba's 90,000 people to start Zhang Luo and make a posture of preparing for action, so that Putou did not dare to act rashly.
And even if Pufulu has 50,000 cavalry, in the final analysis, it is the number of young and middle-aged people who have gathered all the Wuhuan tribes of Daijun, under the control of Zhang Mancheng and Tai Shici, he has not won much victory at all, and even the remaining old and weak women and children in many tribes in the rear have been repeatedly attacked and assassinated by Zhang Yan and Tai Shici and the righteous soldiers in several cities in Daijun, which provoked him to be furious, and in recent days, he has a tendency to ignore nothing and only think about annihilating the infantry team led by Zhang Mancheng.
It's just that Zhang Mancheng and others played a trick under the suggestion of Tai Shici, and let Zou Dan deceive the city gate in the name of righteousness, after Xun Yu had already sent someone to collect the charges of the Xuancheng order, they killed the Xuancheng order, and used the Xuanzuo officials to deceive the city gate, divided the troops into a corner, and defended the city, so that Pu Fulu cursed under the city gate every day, saying that he wanted to kill Zhang Mancheng's whole family, but he was stunned by Zhang Mancheng's contempt and provocation.
will faint in anger, of course, including the reason for the death of the whole family, coupled with the improper command of Pufulu, so that many old and weak women and children of the tribe were slaughtered, which is very unpopular, and it is not that no one has a different heart, and has a lot of complaints about Pufulu, which provokes Pufulu to be angry and faint.
Simply Pufulu temporarily suppressed the gossip in the trilogy with a blood feud with Zhang Mancheng, but once the situation in Youzhou stabilized, the ending of Daijun Wuhuan can be imagined. Even if you can stay in Daijun, I am afraid that it will take several years to recover, and in these few years, it is not impossible for each to attack and destroy themselves, or be embezzled by other Wuhuan tribes and Xianbei tribes.
Of course, Zhang Mancheng and others fought beautifully, and they also suffered countless casualties in the past two months.
The original 50,000 people have now been reduced to only 30,000, and more than 10,000 are wounded, of which 5,000 are suffering from inflammation and mental illness, and may die at any time.
In addition, among the more than 10,000 people, many people are deeply troubled by typhoid fever.
According to the preliminary statistics in the intelligence, after the end of this war, if it is not adjusted in time, I am afraid that 8,000 out of more than 10,000 people will die, and even more people will be affected.
There will be such a big loss, but it is also because it often rains in the county in the past two months, as the autumn becomes thicker, the alternation of cold and heat, the possibility of wound infection is greater, in addition, the body weakness and immunity caused by fighting in the torrential rain and long-term trekking on the grassland also increase the possibility of wound infection and wind cold.
And that's not even counting the number of people that could be lost if the fight continued.
When Gongsun Chan talked about it, Wei Dun and Zhang Yi also admired the integrity of Zhang Mancheng and others.
It's just that in addition to admiration, the looks of the two are not without abnormality, what kind of troops is the Yellow Turban Army, the two know very well, this time they have been fighting with Tian Kai and Zou Dan for a long time, and they are relatively not weak opponents like Wuhuan cavalry, and when the war is over, it is conceivable that the rest of the people will be an iron-blooded army.
Not to mention, in the past two months, there are actually many Yellow Turban troops who have been rushing over to serve as reserves, but they have experienced several battles and retreated, and their spirit is definitely not comparable to those who have not experienced any war.
Gongsun Chan was naturally able to guess what the two of them thought, but in this matter, he had no reservations, and directly admitted that these people were not under his control, and vaguely said a few words about Zhang Mancheng's idea that Zhang Mancheng would take these people south to fight against Dong Zhuo at that time.
This was followed by a reference to the situation in the states.
In the past two months, heavy rains have continued in the south, flooding a total of 10 counties in Jizhou, Qingzhou and Yanzhou, displacing hundreds of people and losing heavy losses to the soon-to-be-ripened grain and grass.
Hearing this, it was still at the critical moment when he was preparing to attack Dong Zhuo, which caused Wei Dun and Zhang Yi to frown.
In addition, what Gongsun Chan mentioned was that the people from which state and which county went to the disaster relief, and there were also those who couldn't help and continued to march towards the sour jujube, and after learning that he was in Fuyang City, he also sent people to ask him if he was going, but these people wanted to come from Jixian County, and what they really wanted to inquire about was who would kill the deer in Youzhou.
In this regard, Gongsun Zhan did not go deeper, and Zhang Yi of Weidun could naturally understand it, and he didn't ask much, after learning that Yuan Shao and Han Fu not only came to the rescue, but went south for disaster relief, he asked where Xian Yufu, who had been left in Jizhou, where the five thousand parts of the song were.
Gongsun Zhan admitted that he didn't know, and under the questioning of Wei Dun and Zhang Yi, he only said that it seemed to have gone north, and he disappeared after entering Zhuo County, and Wei Dun and Zhang Yi also frowned and said nothing.
Then they chatted for a while, and when it was getting dark, Wei Dun put the finishing touch, saying that in general, this trip to be able to hear these news in Gongsun Zhan's mouth is also a good thing for the two of them who have been holding back for two months, and then salute and leave.
However, in the past few hours, in fact, Zhang Yi also mentioned Zou Jing repeatedly when mentioning the war.
As Zou Jing, who is good at arranging troops under Liu Yu, it is naturally not so easy to be ignored, especially when Youzhou is still in this extremely chaotic state, Zou Jing and 100,000 county soldiers are definitely a big help, but Gongsun Chan and Wei Dun have also repeatedly turned a deaf ear, as if they don't know this person, until they separated, they still didn't say anything.
When the two sides were separated, seeing that the city gate was closed and the torches at the head of the city were speckled, Yang Feng, who felt that this time the small banquet was secretly intriguing, couldn't help but ask: "Jihou, can't he believe it?" Why don't you mention the matter on our side, and you also ...... about the affairs of the Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army in the city."
Gongsun Chan smiled, "What did you say?" There are 50,000 soldiers in Oyou, do you believe it? ”
"Huh?"
"Just talk about it, and I'll just listen. The same goes for me...... Heh, I have been fighting with Liu Bo'an for so long, how can the two of them easily believe me? If you don't reach the end, how can you not be wary of me. ”
Gongsun Chan shook his head with a playful expression, looked at the few soldiers who came to collect the mat under Li Ding's beckoning, looked at the southeast with his hands, and narrowed his eyes, "You say, is Deran dead?" ”
Li Ding walked over, and when he heard this, he hurriedly turned on his face, "Ji Hou, this matter ......"
"I'll just ask...... Hahaha, I also want him to live. ”
He snorted, turned around and returned to the camp, but his eyebrows tightened slightly, and he muttered to himself: "But Xuande is ...... after all It's lockdown......"
Then, the wind picked up.
Gales swept through the camp, and the drapery and firelight blew in the wind.
Gongsun Zhan turned his head to look at Yang Feng, who was still looking at Fuyang City, and laughed: "Don't worry, Captain Yang, the tail friend is not in vain. can be entrusted with important tasks by Liu Yu, and his natural strength is extraordinary. I didn't wait to mention it, because I am a military general, and the ability to adapt to changes is naturally there. Just wait for tomorrow, tomorrow, you can see him opening the city to rescue. ”
"But you ......"
"It's all said, for the sake of the big man." Gongsun Zhan walked back again, hooked Yang Feng's shoulders and walked towards the camp, and when he passed by Li Ding, he also hugged Li Ding, "For the sake of the big man, I must not die......"
Yang Feng suddenly realized, smiled slightly, and then looked at the southeast, his expression was constricted, and he sighed: "I hope there are more people in Jixian County who understand righteousness." I haven't heard from Liu Gongzi for months......"
Li Ding nodded, looking worried, "Commander Guan doesn't know if he will be crazy......
"Okay, don't pay attention to these, eat and drink enough, sleep well, tomorrow morning, I'll go down in history."
As soon as the words fell, a shy laugh rang out.
Soon after, it became darker......
