Gongsun Chan looked at Gongsun Du, who was holding the official seal in front of him on one knee and holding it high above his head, and only stepped forward to help him up for a long time, but he didn't take what he had in his hand.

"Alas, Brother Shengji, you say, why bother? Listen to my brother earlier, if you do this earlier, won't there be nothing? Gongsun Chan shook his head and sighed: "I'm feeling sorry for the dead and wounded sergeants outside the city." Seeing that the enemy is at present, you have no regard for the overall situation, and ordered people to attack my 3,000 cavalry. Whether my men and horses or yours suffer losses, this is the loss of our new Han Dynasty and the loss of our Han Dynasty. ”

"Uh...... Bo Jue, yes, it's not right for my brother......" Gongsun Du was really a little ashamed.

"The official seal talisman, you should keep it first, now, you are still the Taishou of Liaodong, but don't call it the king of Liaodong, in the New Han Dynasty, it is the most taboo to call the king. I'm not worried about anything, I'm just worried that you won't have a good time in the DPRK in the future. ”

"Brother Xie, my Gongsun Du is a reasonable person, the previous ones have passed, and now, I know what to do." Gongsun Du nodded cautiously.

"Don't worry, our lord Liu Yi is a person who is affectionate and righteous, and he will never treat us badly. Of course, the premise is that we must be loyal to the new Han Dynasty and work together to revitalize the Han Dynasty. Gongsun Chan motioned for Gongsun Du to sit down and speak first.

After pushing and turning, Gongsun Chan sat on the first seat.

In addition, Tian Kai, Guan Jing, and Gongsun Du's generals also sat down in turn.

Gongsun Zhan saw that it was almost over, so he officially said to Gongsun Du: "Brother Shengji, since you are truly obedient to our New Han Dynasty." Well, from now on. We are our own people, us. It can be regarded as a brother who is close to each other. In the past, my Gongsun Chan will not care about it anymore, and I hope that there will be no shadow left in your heart. Only if we are sincere, regardless of the joint efforts of you and me, in the future, you can still sit in the town and govern Liaodong, and you will still be the Taishou of Liaodong. At this point, my Gongsun Chan can give you a guarantee. ”

"Huh? In the future, I can still serve Liaodong Taishou? This ...... "Gongsun Du was a little surprised. was a little skeptical of what Gongsun Chan said, but he couldn't help but feel a little more happy on his face. If after surrendering to the New Han Dynasty, you can continue to defend Liaodong, this, for Gongsun Du, it seems that there is no loss or disadvantage. It seems to be about the same as before.

"There is no doubt about it, as long as you can show your loyalty, make meritorious contributions, and show your loyalty to our new Han Dynasty. Our lord is not a loss to you. It's yours, it will be yours in the end, and no one can take it away. Gongsun Chan said.

"Please rest assured! My grandson is loyal to the new Han Dynasty and loyal to the Taifu Liu Yi. There will definitely be no change, and there will never be two hearts, for the sake of the Han. My grandson, even if it is to go to the soup and fire, he will not hesitate! ”

"Good! There is your phrase. I was relieved. Gongsun Chan stared at Gongsun Du and said, "Then, you talk about it first." How many troops do you have now, how many infantry and cavalry are there, and where are the military horses arranged? ”

"Well, Gong'er, you come to report to your uncle!" Gongsun Du turned his head and asked Gongsun Gong to answer.

"Yes!" Gongsun Gong stood up, saluted Gongsun Zhan, and reported loudly: "The Liaodong Army has a total of 26 or 70,000 horses. In the total, there were about 100,000 cavalry troops, and now, about 50,000 were guarding Liaoyang, and the other 50,000 cavalry troops were stationed in a military village on the border with Wuhuan where they often haunted, and they could send troops to attack the attacking Wuhuan enemy army at any time. The rest of the infantry army, about 60,000 or 70,000 military horses, was distributed in towns and towns all over Liaodong, about 50,000, and in Liaoyang City, 50,000 were on the border to guard the Wuhuan people. However, in today's battle with the Xinhan Army, the casualty figure has not yet been counted, and it is estimated that there will be about 10,000 casualties. ”

"So, Brother Shengji, you actually have about 250,000 military horses? And 100,000 cavalry? Yes, although the combat power is not as good, it can indeed be attacked alone as a military horse. Gongsun Chan nodded after hearing this.

Looking at the city field outside the city, Gongsun Du's army suffered heavy casualties, and Gongsun Chan knew that Gongsun Du's military horses were far inferior to the New Han Army, but there were almost 100,000 cavalry troops, which was indeed good. In the Han Dynasty, there are 100,000 cavalry troops, which can be regarded as a fairly strong force. What's more, there are more than 100,000 infantry troops? It's no wonder that Gongsun Du was ambitious, and he was blinded by the number of his own military horses, right? Think that with this amount of troops, you can wrestle with the New Han Dynasty? Gongsun Chan thought so in his heart, but he would not say anything too contemptuous of Gongsun Dujun.

But Gongsun Zhan's words made Gongsun Du stunned, and he asked in a lost voice: "Bo Jue, what did you say?" Can our Liaodong Army attack alone? What does this mean? ”

In Gongsun Du's heart, he didn't think about taking the initiative to attack the Wuhuan people with his current strength, so he was a little surprised by Gongsun Zhan's words.

"Huh. What's wrong? Scared as soon as you heard that you were going to attack the Wuhuan people? Gongsun Chan smiled and said, "How do you say hello?" Originally, I came to see you, in addition to persuading you to see the general trend of the world today and persuade you to submit to our New Han Dynasty, I just wanted to tell you about our plan for how the New Han Army would deal with the Wuhuan army, but you just couldn't listen to what I told you. ”

"Eh, I was wrong, brother, tell me quickly, what are the plans of your New Han Army? You must know that we in Liaodong, full of battles, are only about 200,000 military horses. And your Xinhan Army, there are not too many military horses in Shanhaiguan, right? According to my spies, it's about 400,000 military horses, right? However, the Wuhuan army will at least exceed one million, and our combined strength will only be more than 600,000 ......."

Gongsun Du glanced at Gongsun Zhan, and then said: "I, I'm not afraid of the Wuhuan people, but I'm worried that we will fight the Wuhuan army head-on with weak forces, and I'm worried that even if we defeat the Wuhuan people in the end, we will suffer heavy losses." Therefore, I think we can take a defensive position first, as long as we hold until the cold winter, the Wuhuan army will collapse without a fight......"

"Shou? Hehe, even if we can hold it, what about next year? And next year? Just keep it like this? Gongsun Chan waved his hand and said, "Let's tell you the truth, our Xinhan Army didn't think about defending it at all this time." Our lord has already given the order. We're going to take the initiative and attack, before the first snow of winter. Sending troops to the prairie outside the border first formed a deterrent to the Wuhuan people. If they do not surrender, we will go deep into the prairie and the forest in the cold winter to completely exterminate the Wuhuan people. Just like when our New Han Army went on an expedition to the Northwest Desert. Anyway, this time, our purpose. It was like destroying the Huns back then, completely destroying Wuhuan. ”

"What?"

As soon as Gongsun Chan finished speaking, in addition to Tian Kai and Guan Jing, Gongsun Du, Gongsun Gong's father and son, and all the generals under him were all stunned, one by one.

Completely wipe out the Wuhuan people? Just like the extermination of the Huns back then? This news is really amazing. This handicraft seems to have too much appetite, right?

For a time, people below Gongsun Du. One by one, I feel a little unlikely, but I think that even the Huns have been exterminated, and it doesn't seem too strange to destroy the Wuhuan, right?

Gongsun Du's heart was a little chilling. I am ashamed of my previous thoughts and practices of wanting to be an enemy of the New Han Dynasty. I am also a little glad that I was able to immediately follow the cliff and submit to the new Han Dynasty in a timely manner. If what Gongsun Chan said is true, then how old is his Gongsun Du? If the new Han dynasty is determined to destroy a foreign race. If there is a certain force, what resistance do they have?

Gongsun Du recovered from the shock. His face turned a little red and said, "That's, that means that the people who are stationed in Shanhaiguan now." Just the Vanguard? More horses will be brought in soon? ”

"Hmm...... So to speak. I don't know the specifics for the time being, but it is estimated that it will not be long before our main guild will personally lead the army north. Presumably, something has already been done. Gongsun Chan didn't know much about the follow-up of the New Han Dynasty, so he had to guess and guess.

"Good! Then attack! Grandma's, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Whenever I think of those Wuhuan people who are like white-eyed wolves, I can't drink their blood and eat their flesh! Gongsun Du looked a little angry and said: "Haha, I can't imagine that my Gongsun Du will have a day to conquer the Wuhuan clan." ”

Not only Gongsun Du, but his subordinates were also a little excited.

I have to say that the Wuhuan people are too bad. In a way, it's not much better than the Huns. It's even more disgusting.

Well, in those years, they surrendered to the Han Dynasty, and with the support of the Han Dynasty, they migrated from the northwest to the northeast and separated themselves from the Huns. If it is said that the alien races such as Di and Qiang in Xiliang are under the heavy oppression of the Han court, and they have to rebel, then the Wuhuan people in the northeast are absolutely wolf-like.

Slowly, their clansmen grew and grew to the present day, with at least millions of clansmen, almost more than the Huns at that time. However, as soon as his tribe grew stronger, he disobeyed the Han court, and often turned into robbers and broke into the territory of the Han Dynasty to cause chaos. For more than 100 years, the plundering of the territory of the Han Dynasty has hardly stopped. And the Liaodong region has suffered even more.

Anyway, what the Wuhuan people do, compared to the Han people in the north, really hate them to the core, whether it is the wealthy people in the north or the ordinary people, they are full of hatred for the Wuhuan people. It's just that the Han Dynasty is weak, and without the majesty of Emperor Wu back then, he is no longer able to conquer the Wuhuan clan that has grown stronger.

In the Han people in the areas bordering the influence of aliens, in their hearts, in fact, they are not thinking all the time, one day, the Han army, just like the Han army in the period of Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Guang, Ban Chao, etc., the horseshoe desert grassland, killing their aliens crying father and mother, promoting the heroic style of the Han Dynasty, and reproducing the heroic spirit of those who commit our strong men even though they are far away.

"Kill! General Gongsun Zhan, we will swear to follow the general to the death and swear to destroy Wuhuan! ”

The generals said excitedly.

"Good! It's all our big man! Gongsun Chan was excited when he saw the crowd and knew that there was a lot to be done.

"Bo Jue! You say, how are we going to do it? Gongsun Du said proudly.

"Well......" Gongsun Zhan thought for a while and said, "Give you two days, and immediately organize four cavalry armies according to the establishment of our New Han Army, each with about 25,000 people, a total of 100,000 cavalry." ”

"As for how our New Han Army is organized, when Shi Ah returns with the 3,000 cavalry army, I will send people from this army to assist you in reorganizing your army and horses. Why reorganization? Gongsun Chan explained to them: "This is to facilitate the operation of our large corps, and on the battlefield, we can command the large army as we command." Otherwise. The formation is unknown, on the chaotic battlefield. Especially when hundreds of thousands of millions of troops are torn apart on the battlefield, it is easy to create chaos. Once there is chaos, we will find ourselves in a disadvantageous situation. Therefore, the 100,000 cavalry army after the reorganization is like our arm, and the armies, divisions, and battalions are like our fingers, pointing to fight there, so that our horses can advance and retreat. There will be no mud and water because of chaos. These are some of the basic conditions for us to win the war. Military orders are like mountains, and orders are forbidden. ”

"No problem, in terms of combat power, our cavalry army, after seeing the combat power of the real New Han Army, we are ashamed of ourselves. However, we have also been trained in mounted archery for a long time, and the discipline is quite good. Gongsun Du said with a little blush. It's a shame today. With so many cavalry troops, he couldn't get the 3,000 cavalry of the New Han Army.

"Well, it's okay to be able to do military orders like a mountain, as for the combat power, ......" Gongsun Chan said indifferently: "Actually." We will only cooperate with the main army of the New Han Army to attack from the flank, and we will not be the main attacking force until our cavalry army has undergone formal training from the New Han Army and has been replaced with the standard food and equipment of the New Han Army. They won't even engage the enemy head-on. Of course. As a last resort, we still have to fight to the death. ”

"Huh? Just to cooperate with the main force of the New Han Army? ”

"It is estimated that the new Han army in Shanhaiguan will be out of the customs in two or three days. We only have two or three days to reorganize and prepare. When the time comes, the main army of the New Han Army. It is estimated that it will be divided into several armies, and the Wuhuan people in the area of the Great Wall outside the pass will be cleared first. Then, after the snowfall, they take a break to change their clothes, which means that they can change into winter clothes that can withstand the cold in the harsh winter. Then, we will continue to attack the Wuhuan tribe, even if it is thousands of miles deep into the prairie, we will attack to the end. At that time, we are expected to change into winter clothes, and by the way, change into the standard weapons and equipment of the New Han Army. ”

"What? We also have equipment for the New Han Army? Many of Gongsun Du's generals were overjoyed when they heard this.

Some of these Gongsun Du's subordinates participated in today's siege of the 3,000 white horse servants of the New Han Army, and some of them watched the battle on the city wall. They all saw that the weapons and equipment of the New Han Army were uniform, and they were much better than theirs. They all saw very clearly that the bow and arrow of the New Han Army had a particularly long range, especially the arrow of the bow, which was particularly sharp, and could actually penetrate the soldier's armor. In addition, what surprised them the most was that the weapons of the New Han Army were all bright and sharp, and the swords of the soldiers of their own army, if they encountered other people's weapons, they would definitely be cut in two by the weapons of the New Han Army. This situation is also a very important reason why the three thousand white horse righteous servants were able to break through their military formation in one row without hindrance.

They didn't expect that they would have the opportunity to possess such sophisticated weapons and equipment of the New Han Army.

"Nonsense! Since you are sincerely obedient to the New Han Dynasty, then you are your own people, especially after the reorganization, even if you are the official establishment of the New Han Army. In the future, after reporting and registering, and obtaining the military establishment number of the imperial court, you will be the main force. The main force of the New Han Army, but there is a military salary. ”

With a coax, Gongsun Du's subordinates became a little excited.

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious service, and be promoted by military merit." Gongsun Chan said again.

"General Gongsun, let's talk about it, how are we going to cooperate with the New Han Army that has left the customs."

"Don't worry, you don't need to know too much, now, you can go and reorganize the military horses first, and in two days, you just need to follow the order."

"Huh? No, General Gongsun Zhan, is it just a hundred thousand cavalry? So what about the more than 100,000 infantry troops we still have? "There are generals who should be the generals of the infantry army, and after being happy for a while, I feel that something is wrong, because Gongsun Chan didn't talk about the reorganization of the infantry army.

"The infantry will not directly participate in the battle. Therefore, for the time being, according to your current establishment, what the infantry army needs to do is to help escort some military rations to the designated place, and cooperate with the material transportation of the Xinhan army in Shanhaiguan, of course, you must also leave a certain number of military horses to beware of the Wuhuan people, so as not to let foreign people flow into Liaodong to cause chaos. Gongsun Chan said.

Fighting on the prairie, especially against the Wuhuan army, you must know that the Wuhuan people are nomadic people, and almost all of their military horses are cavalry. When the infantry entered the steppe, they played a limited role, and most of them could only be used to escort grain and grass. Therefore, the real battle still has to be cavalry against the cavalry of Wuhuan.

Gongsun Du understood this truth after thinking about it, and waved his hand to silence his subordinates.

"Bo Jue ......" Gongsun Du said with a somewhat solemn expression: "There is a question below." It's just that the grassland outside the gate is too big, and there are endless primeval forests, on the grasslands, in the forests, there are countless foreign tribes, can we really eliminate them? I mean, once they've fled into the forest, how can we find them? You must know that winter is coming soon, and I believe that snow will fall soon. The environment may be much harsher than the one you had when you were on your expedition to the desert. How likely is it that we will succeed in recruiting the Wuhuan people this time? (To be continued......)
