Chapter 355: Inquiry
Gongsun Yiqing kept pacing in the study, the situation in Liaodong was getting more and more dangerous, and the Hu people outside the gate kept invading the border passes, including the Xianbei people and the Wuhuan people, and there were some wild boar skins that were arrogant and murderous.
At this time, hundreds of Hu people appeared near Baihu Village, and Gongsun Yiqing's already sensitive nerves became more sensitive.
In line with the principle of preferring to kill mistakes rather than letting go, Gongsun Yiqing decided to send a group of soldiers and horses to crisscross the mountains, but who should the commander of this army assign? The situation at the border pass is becoming more and more severe, and none of the generals who can fight well are transferred away, but he has to send a general with excellent military quality to conquer the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges.
"Cheng Wenyuan ......"
Gongsun Yiqing's eyes became sharp, and this kind of thing must be cautious in dispatching troops, and if you are a little careless, because the dereliction of duty of the main general may affect the soldiers who go out on the expedition. Gongsun Yiqing's expression also became solemn, and Cheng Wenyuan's performance became remarkable in his eyes, first he inquired about the news of Baihuzhai's collusion with the Hu people, and then captured the bandit leader Yunping, and now he introduced hundreds of Hu people near Baihuzhai.
Maybe these gentlemen really have their own extraordinary abilities...... Gongsun Yiqing slammed his fist on the desk, and after thinking for a moment, he said to the guards beside him: "Go and wear Tang Jian, Xu Mu and Cheng Wenyuan here." ”
The guard nodded, didn't say much, and hurriedly ran outside the study, he understood that this was Lord Taishou preparing to dispatch troops and horses, as for who the troops were, he didn't care, but one thing he was sure of was that Gongsun Yiqing would never send these three people to the border to defend against the Hu people.
Needless to say, Cheng Wenyuan is from a gentleman's son and has no outstanding records, although the other two are quite brave, but their performance is mediocre, they are not generals, most of these three people want to suppress the bandits in Liaodong, right?
Soon, Tang Jian and the three of them came to Gongsun Yiqing's study under the leadership of the guards, since seeing Gongsun Yiqing's guards, Cheng Wenyuan's mood has never calmed down, he clenched his fists tightly, for fear that he would not pay attention and cheer loudly.
After Gongsun Yiqing saw Tang Jian and the others, he waved his hand casually and said, "Sit down!" ”
Tang Jian and Xu Mu immediately put on a respectful appearance, sitting on the chair respectfully, their waists were straight, and the whole person looked sincerely frightened, on the contrary, Cheng Wenyuan was much calmer than them.
Gongsun Yiqing, as the Taishou of Liaodong, was not only a high and powerful position, but also had considerable prestige among the officers and soldiers of Liaodong, and Tang Jian and Xu Mu were terrified in front of him. Seeing this, Gongsun Yiqing nodded with satisfaction, his eyes were sharp, and his body exuded a murderous atmosphere, once there was a civil official in front of him, advocating to adopt a soft policy towards the Hu people, and even suggested that the court sprinkle some money and food to the Hu people to appease them, but Gongsun Yiqing was furious, and almost scared the civil official to death.
Ordinary people didn't even dare to look at him, and the three people in front of him, except for Cheng Wenyuan's newborn calf, although the other two were trembling, their performance was quite unsatisfactory.
"I called you over today to discuss the matter of sending troops to Baihu Village, and about Baihu Village, tell me your opinions." Gongsun Yiqing looked at the three of them and said indifferently.
Cheng Wenyuan's heart froze, knowing that this was the last chance, Gongsun Yiqing summoned the three of them, most likely to pick out a main general from among them, the answer at this time is very important, if he is slightly dissatisfied, he may not be able to lead the army.
Thinking of this, Cheng Wenyuan cheered up and was about to speak, only to hear Tang Jian speak first: "Lord Taishou, I think that the White Tiger Village is powerful, and rashly sending troops may not be able to successfully take this big village, not to mention that although the bandits of the White Tiger Village are all rabble, they are entrenched in the vertical and horizontal mountains all year round, and their power has been deeply rooted in them, and it is difficult to eradicate them for a while." ”
Gongsun Yiqing frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Are you afraid of war?" ”
Tang Jian suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "It's not that the last general is afraid of war, but the White Tiger Village is not what it used to be, the White Song has 100,000 soldiers, 1,000 generals, and there are many subordinate cottages, our Liaodong should be mainly to resist the Hu people at this time, these bandits will not be able to make any big waves for a while, it is better to ......"
"Why not as good as what?" Gongsun Yiqing said coldly: "The reason why the White Tiger Village can sit big is because we didn't care about him before, and now the old man wants to send troops to the White Tiger Village, is it possible to take care of him?" ”
"That's what your lord said!" Xu Mu glanced at Tang Jian, secretly happy in his heart, he didn't take Cheng Wenyuan in his eyes from the beginning, he had only one potential opponent, that was Tang Jian, when he heard the words at this time, he naturally followed Gongsun Yiqing's words.
"That White Tiger Village has 100,000 soldiers? Joke, can those bandits call them soldiers? They are just a rabble, my Liaodong officers and soldiers are brave and good at fighting, all of them are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, and his 100,000 rabble, we only need 3,000 elite soldiers to break it! ”
The more Xu Mu spoke, the more proud he became, and finally looked at Tang Jian with slanted eyes, looking proud.
Gongsun Yiqing nodded at first, and when he heard the end, he couldn't help frowning slightly, three thousand elite soldiers can break 100,000 bandits? Although there is this possibility, what Xu Mu said so lightly still makes Gongsun Yiqing feel a little unreliable.
Cheng Wenyuan lowered his head and was thinking about what to say, when Gongsun Yiqing suddenly asked, "General Cheng, tell me your opinion." ”
"Lord Taishou." When Cheng Wenyuan heard this, he raised his head suddenly, took a deep breath and said: "The White Tiger Village must not stay, it is no accident that these hundreds of Hu people appeared near the White Tiger Village, not to mention, the White Tiger Village was suspected of being a Hu before, since this is the case, it is better to take this opportunity to level the White Tiger Village in one fell swoop, and never suffer in the future!" ”
Tang Jian sneered and said, "General Cheng, are you a little arbitrary because you suspect that Baihu Village is a Hu because of those hundreds of Hu people?" That White Tiger Village......"
Gongsun Yiqing's eyes widened, and he shouted coldly: "Shut up!" ”
His angry shout was like a bell, which frightened Tang Jian and looked at Gongsun Yiqing in disbelief, unable to figure out why Lord Taishou would scold him for a gentleman. Gongsun Yiqing ignored Tang Jian, but continued to say to Cheng Wenyuan: "Go on." ”
"Yes." Cheng Wenyuan glanced at Tang Jian and continued: "It's just that the White Tiger Village has also established a fairly stable force in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, and it is by no means an easy task to completely eradicate them. (To be continued.) )
