"General Yang!"

Li Cunqiao pulled Yang Zaixing under the big stone and hid temporarily, but at this time, Yang Zaixing's face was pale, blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, and he didn't even have the strength to say a word.

However, this disaster did not last long, and by the time everything settled, Liu Xiu would naturally have disappeared long ago, and Li Keyong's army was heavily killed and injured by the rocks on the ridge.

Choshi saw with his own eyes that the originally good rocks on the ridge suddenly wanted to go crazy and roll down, and he was also so frightened that he was stuck there, if it wasn't for Liu Xiu calling him to leave, he would have continued to stay there.

"Childe...... This...... What the hell do you ...... How? ”

Naturally, Choshi knew that this must be Liu Xiu's means, but he didn't know how Liu Xiu did it.

"Yesterday I had another dream, in which an old fairy told me that the rocks here are very easy to slide, and as long as you hit the foot of the mountain for a while, it will directly affect the stability of the whole mountain, so there is that scene just now. It was only when I first saw this mountain that I suddenly realized that it was exactly the same as the mountain in my dream, so I tried to do this. ”

Liu Xiu used the method of the old fairy in the dream to prevaricate the past, although the Choshi period sounded like a very absurd excuse, but at this time, the Choshi period could only believe this statement, otherwise wouldn't Liu Xiu really be like a god in the sky? If Liu Xiu really had such great ability, the world would have been his.

At this time, Liaodong was matched by the two brothers Meng Tian and Meng Yi, although Dolgon's Buyeo and Goguryeo were also talented, but they could not take advantage of them. After Gongsun Du had conquest once before, he had little interest in the two families, and when Tian Yu sent an envoy, Gongsun Du was persuaded by Tian Yu.

After sending Tian Yu away, he immediately summoned his subordinates to discuss Wu Liren's affairs.

"Before, this king has promised Liu Bei to unite to crusade against Wu Ming, I don't know where the princes think they should send troops from?"

As soon as Gongsun Du finished speaking, everyone under his command began to discuss, and Meng Tian sighed secretly, and then stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that at this time, the strong enemy in the Northeast is looking around, and the closest place for Wu Ming to Liaodong is Qingzhou. If you want to crusade against Wu Ming, not only is the road far away, but you also have to use waterways, which is really a waste of money and labor. Even if you can capture some prefectures and counties, with the current strength of Liaodong, you can't defend it at all, which can be described as tasteless and a pity to abandon it. Why do you want to do something that doesn't outweigh the losses? What's more, the name of Wu Ming's benevolence and righteousness is known to the whole world, and the king wants to cut it down for no reason, neither the time nor the land, let alone occupy people, please think twice! ”

After Meng Tian finished speaking, Gongsun Du's face was very ugly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came up, he was opposed by his subordinates.

Before he could say anything, he saw another person walk out and say to Gongsun Du, "Father! Although General Meng's words are reasonable, but the king has already promised Liu Bei's envoy before, if he goes back on his word like this, won't it make the heroes of the world laugh? Besides, Liu Bei has already contacted the princes of the world to attack Zhou together, if Qingzhou is occupied at that time, even if Wu Ming is really a large number of soldiers, he will be lacking in skills at that time, how can he say that the food is tasteless? Therefore, the subordinates thought that it was feasible to cut Zhou! ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, he was overjoyed, and when he looked up, it turned out to be his second son Gongsun Gong, and he nodded with great satisfaction, "Gong'er's words are very much in line with my wishes!" Haha, I wonder if General Meng can take command of the expedition? ”

Although Gongsun Du was a little unhappy with Meng Tian's opinion, he knew that Meng Tian's ability was left there, especially the previous battle against Aobai, which made him even more impressed with Meng Tian, so if he really wanted to send troops to attack Wu Liren this time, he still needed Meng Tian to be able to take command in person.

Meng Tian thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice!" Liu Bei's son is the most unrighteous, thinking that this person was originally under Yuan Shao's command, but later he actually occupied the dove's nest, not only took away the Yuan family's foundation, but also killed the Yuan family. How can such a deceitful man be believed? Even if you promised before, you can do the following, it's fine, why lose your own interests and do this harmful thing? ”

Gongsun Du didn't expect that at this point, Meng Tian would oppose him, and he was even more suspicious in his heart if Meng Tian was arrogant.

"General Meng, this king has made up his mind, you don't need to persuade again!"

Meng Tian wanted to say anything more, and Gongsun Kang on the side gave him a color and signaled him not to say anything more, but Meng Tian seemed to not understand, and continued: "Your Majesty, please think twice!" If you want to attack Wu Ming, you have to prepare enough ships, and you have to practice water battles with soldiers, which is really not something that can be done overnight! ”

"Khotan! You are presumptuous! This king said, don't talk about this anymore! If you don't want to go on the expedition, this king will naturally have other candidates! ”

Seeing that Gongsun Du was angry, Gongsun Kang hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Father is angry!" General Meng is also dedicated to thinking about Liaodong, not unwilling to take command! Now up and down Liaodong, only General Meng can lead the army! ”

Gongsun Kang was afraid that Gongsun Du would really be angry and take away Meng Tian's military power, which was definitely not a good thing for him, after all, Meng Tian was his master, and he still knew the truth of the so-called glory and loss.

Before Gongsun Du could speak, he heard another voice sound.

"Big brother said it too absolutely! My Liaodong is also full of talents, although General Meng's skills are extraordinary, but it is not impossible to compare with him. ”

Gongsun Gong looked at Gongsun Kang very proudly, and then looked at Gongsun Du and said: "Father, the child recommends a person, whose skills are not under General Meng, and this person is quite good at water warfare, and must be better at it than General Meng!" ”

Hearing Gongsun Gong's words, Gongsun Du was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Who is this person?" And where? Call it now! ”

Gongsun Gong immediately replied: "This person's surname is Han Mingzheng, the word Shizhong, he is a general under the child, this person is waiting outside now, the child will go and pass him now!" ”

After a while, Gongsun Gong walked in with a person quickly, and it was Han Shizhong, who was born and implanted under Gongsun Du.

Han Shizhong is more than eight feet tall, only about thirty years old, his eyes are bright, and the whole person looks majestic, and he does have the style of a general. Gongsun Du looked at the joy in his heart, and hurriedly asked: "General Han, this king wants to appoint you as the main general and send troops to attack Qingzhou, are you willing?" ”

Hearing this, Han Shizhong frowned, and looked at Gongsun Gong next to him, Gongsun Gong nodded lightly, after all, before coming in, Gongsun Gong had already instructed Han Shizhong.

"The last general...... The king has an order, how dare the last general disobey? ”

Gongsun Du laughed and said: "Okay, General Han is really a loyal person, so I don't know what General Han thinks, how to attack?" ”

Han Shizhong arched his hand and said: "If you want to go down to Qingzhou, you will naturally send troops from the south of Liaodong Yushi County, prepare the naval ships to be stationed in the sea, and at the end of the day, the army will be trained for a month or two, and after adapting to the environment in the sea, you can send troops and take Donglai directly." As long as our army moves quickly, Wu Ming's army will inevitably be unprepared, and then the army will be able to drive straight in, and it will be possible to slow down. It's just that even if Donglai is captured, I don't know if Wu Ming will send a large army to counterattack, and his subordinates may not be able to deal with it at that time. ”

Hearing this, Gongsun Du was already very happy, and he smiled and said: "General Han really has a good insight, and after taking it down, if the other princes fight Zhou together, then the king will not have to worry; If the other princes could not contain Wu Ming, then General Han would lead his army back again. This king wants the world to know that my Liaodong sons are powerful! ”

Meng Tian didn't know Gongsun Du's thoughts, he didn't really want to take a piece of state and county, he also knew that Qingzhou and Liaodong were separated by the sea, and they couldn't hold it, but he just wanted to let the world know that his Gongsun Du was powerful, otherwise there would be no sense of existence in the Three Kingdoms in this troubled era.

However, Meng Tian was obviously unwilling to risk putting the army in danger because of Gongsun Du's idea, so Meng Tian could not win Gongsun Du's favor.

"The last general commands!"

After Han Shizhong finished speaking, Gongsun Du immediately asked Meng Tian to hand over the military power of the army to Han Shizhong, but Gongsun Kang's face changed, and he stepped forward and said, "Father! Is it too hasty to so easily hand over military power to a man with no command experience? That's tens of thousands! I hope my father will think twice! ”

Gongsun Kang's words also made Gongsun Du react, although Gongsun Gong tried his best to recommend this one called Han Shizhong, but whether Han Shizhong could only talk on paper or not, he didn't know at all! If it was really a silver-like pewter spearhead, wouldn't his foundation be ruined in the hands of Han Shizhong?

Seeing Gongsun Du's hesitation, Han Shizhong stepped forward and asked for his hand again: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, your subordinates don't need too many soldiers and horses, only 10,000 people!" To fight across the sea, what you want is a strange word, no matter how many people there are, it is useless, and you also need a lot of warships and food and grass supplies, and 10,000 people are the best! ”

Han Shizhong's words made Gongsun Du put down this only worry, as long as there were 10,000 soldiers and horses, even if the whole army was really annihilated, it was within his acceptability.

"Okay, the king will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, as long as you can capture a county, then this battle will give you a great credit, and you will be rewarded when you come back!" However, if you lose your troops and can't capture a city or a place, then don't blame the king for being polite! ”

Han Shizhong immediately nodded, and at this time, Gongsun Gong stepped forward and said, "Father, the child is willing to fight Zhou together with General Han, and I hope that my father will allow it!" ”

Gongsun Gong's purpose is to be able to master the military power, after all, when Gongsun Kang went to crusade against Dolgon in Fuyu, almost half of the military power in Liaodong was received by Meng Tian, and the relationship between Meng Tian and Gongsun Kang, how could he not know? This time, he stumbled upon Han Shizhong's talent, a few days ago, when Tian Yu sent out the envoy, he guessed Tian Yu's purpose, so he has been waiting for today's opportunity.

"Okay, then let General Han be the main general, you will be the supervising army, and everything will have to obey General Han's words and learn more from him!"

Gongsun Du finally asked Gongsun Gong to select 10,000 elites from Meng Tian's men and handed them over to Han Shizhong.

Meng Tian and Gongsun Kang left together and came to the door, Gongsun Kang sighed and complained in a low voice: "Why did the master collide with his father just now? You know your father's temper, once you make a decision, no one else can change it anyway! It's good now, part of the military power has been divided by the second brother! ”

Although Meng Tian knew what Gongsun Kang meant, he did not regret what he had just done, and he replied quietly: "The eldest prince, the last general will be loyal to the king, if the king has any wrong decisions, and the ministers cannot point it out, then what is the use of such a courtier?" The last general can't bear to send these ten thousand good men to death like this! ”

Gongsun Kang lost his temper by Meng Tian, but he was also in a very bad mood, so he had to turn around and leave alone.

At this time, Meng Yi also walked over, looking at Meng Tian with a melancholy face, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the eldest brother?" Just now in the palace, the king seems to be very unhappy, and now the eldest prince is also leaving in a bad mood, could it be that the eldest brother has done something wrong? ”

Meng Tian shook his head and walked out slowly.

Han Shizhong selected 10,000 soldiers from Meng Tian, immediately brought up the grain and grass, and rushed to the Yu clan together. The ship problem that Meng Tian was worried about, in fact, Gongsun Du had already had such ambitions, he had already prepared all the ships, and only waited for a general who could lead the army. Han Shizhong's appearance just solved Gongsun Du's worry.

When everything was ready, Han Shizhong began to let the soldiers undergo various training on the ship, so that they could better adapt to the navigation and bumps at sea. Although this was a surprise attack across the sea, he didn't dare to guarantee whether Wu Liren was ready, and if he encountered Wu Liren's sniper at sea at that time, his soldiers would suffer a big loss.

At the same time, Ma Teng of Xiliang also finally sent his army from Chang'an, and the people who commanded the troops were not only Gao Xianzhi and Wei Ran all the way, but also let Pang De and Ma Chao go all the way again, and at the same time marched towards Hangu Pass.

Today's Luoyang is already under the control of Li Jing, and Li Jing took Hangu Pass at the same time, and let Yang Yanzhao, Yang Yansi and others go to garrison it in case of Ma Teng. And if Ma Teng wants to attack Luoyang, he must first pass through Hangu Pass.

During the Warring States Period, Hangu Pass helped the Qin State to keep the army of the Six Kingdoms out of the pass, and now, although Hangu Pass is not as important as before, it is still a Xiongguan, and it is also the most convenient and fast way to pass through the Central Plains from Guanzhong.

At this time, Gao Xianzhi had already taken the lead in coming to the Hangu Pass by force, and he knew that the Hangu Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he did not launch an offensive at the first time, but let his generals go to the front of the pass to fight.
