Chapter 13 Gongsun Chan and the White Horse Righteous Servant
Liu Yu borrowed 2,000 elite soldiers and horses from his father Liu Yu led by Yan Rou, the purpose is to have his own army after arriving in Liaodong, he will let go of his hands and feet when he does things, and there is no need to be afraid, Liu Yu knows that Liaodong has no owner at this time, it can be said that it is chaotic, and if he does not bring the army over, it is a question of whether he can still live at that time?
Liu Yu was not in a hurry to rush to Liaodong at this time, so he immediately asked Zhong Xuan and Yan Rou to go to Liaodong with soldiers and horses to check the situation first, and Liu Yu himself needed to go to Liaodong after a while. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info At this time, Liu Yu still has one thing to do, and that is talent.
That's right, talent. No matter what time it is, it is impossible to achieve great things by yourself, especially in a world like the late Han Dynasty, so talent is extremely important to Liu Yu.
Before leaving, Liu Yu specially instructed Zhong Xuan and Yan Rou that this trip to Liaodong should not be too public, especially not to let anyone know that they were bringing soldiers over, as for how to let soldiers enter the city without being discovered, Liu Yu knew that Zhong Xuan and Yan Rou must have a way, and he was also very relieved about these two, so Liu Yu did not need to worry about anything at all.
After Zhong Xuan and Yan Rou left, Liu Yu stayed in the state mansion for a few more days, during which time Liu Yu met the "White Horse General" Gongsun Zhan.
Gongsun Zhan, the word Bo Jue, is six years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, in his prime, he is tall and mighty, his face is like a crown of jade, the waist of a tiger is a bear, and he is born with a strong apparatus, Liu Yu originally thought that Liu Yu was handsome enough, but he didn't expect this Gongsun Chan to be more heroic. Gongsun Zhan's voice is as loud as Huang Lu Da Zhong when he speaks, and his heroic posture is full of anticipation, which makes people dare not force his eyes, and he is indeed a complete hero.
Gongsun Zhan is a noble child, but because of his mother's humble background, he can only serve as a scholar. Because of his beauty, loud voice and intelligence, he was appreciated by Taishou and was invited to be his son-in-law. With the help of his father-in-law, he worked with Liu Bei and Liu Deran to study with Lu Zhi. Gongsun Zhan later served as the imperial chariot under Taishou Liu Jun.
When Taishou Liu Ji was about to be exiled to Rinan County, Gongsun Zhan prepared wine and meat to pay tribute to his ancestors in Beimangshan, and he raised his glass and prayed: "In the past, he should be filial to the son of man, but now he should be loyal to his ministers, and he should go to Ninan with Taishou." Ninan has a lot of miasma, I'm afraid I can't survive, so I don't want to pass the ancestors and ancestors. After saying that, he bowed two more times, and then stood up impassionedly, and everyone present wept and sighed. Liu Ji was pardoned and returned on his way to Japan. After Gongsun Zan returned, he was promoted to filial piety and honesty for his virtue, became a Lang official, and was appointed as the governor of the vassal state of Liaodong County.
Once, Gongsun Chan followed dozens of cavalry out to patrol the Guansai, and when he saw hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, Gongsun Chan retreated to the empty pavilion and said to the entourage: "If you don't take the initiative to attack, you will be killed." So he led the team to rush into the Xianbei team with a spear in hand, killing and wounding dozens of people, although he survived death, he also lost more than half. The Xianbei people took this as a warning, and they no longer dared to easily cross the pass, and Gongsun Zan was promoted to the county magistrate of Zhuoxian County.
During the reign of Emperor Guanghe of Han Ling, Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled, and the imperial court levied 3,000 elite cavalry from Youzhou, and gave Gongsun Zan the charm to act as the governor to command the 3,000 cavalry. When Gongsun Zan led his army to Jizhong, Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang, lured Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in Liaoxi, to rebel and capture the cities of Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County. Gongsun Zhan pursued Zhang Chun and other traitors with 3,000 cavalry, made military exploits, and was promoted to cavalry captain.
At this time, Gongsun Chan was returning from the crusade against Zhang Chun, although he was besieged for more than two hundred days, but the soldiers behind Gongsun Chan did not have the tragic situation as imagined, and they didn't look too tired at the moment, on the contrary, most of the soldiers behind him were light cavalry riding white horses, wearing blood-stained robes that didn't look white, but they were also heroic. I think this is one of the famous soldiers in the Three Kingdoms periodβββ the "White Horse Yicong" under the account of Gongsun Zhan.
Bai Ma Yi originally referred to those who were good at shooting after Gongsun Zhan, and later Gongsun Zhan deeply felt the importance of an elite cavalry in the battle with the Hu people. Therefore, with those who were good at shooting, a light cavalry unit was formed. Because Gongsun Chan loves white horses, the troops are all white war horses, and the troops shout in order to express their loyalty: "Where righteousness goes, life and death go hand in hand!" The sky can be learned, and the white horse is the proof! Wuhuan even said to each other to avoid the long history of the white horse. Hence the name - White Horse Yicong.
And Gongsun Chan loves white horses, and often rides white horses outside the fortress to break the bearded people, and is called "white horse general" by Xianbei, Wuhuan and other tribes.
This is an army that Liu Yu dreamed of, riding and shooting unparalleled, attacking Wuhuan and Xianbei in the north, and raising the strong man in all directions, this is the white horse righteousness. Baimayi expanded into a considerable scale of troops from the back, and for a time it was a powerful force, and the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes were in full swing, and there were immeasurable places among the foreign races.
In the vast history of the Three Kingdoms, Hakuba Yicong was like a meteor and only experienced a short period of glory. The White Horse Yicong is a typical light cavalry unit with strong mobility and range advantages. Gongsun Zhan was able to rely on this light cavalry force to shock the outside for a long time, and let the Xiongnu such a brave and warlike light cavalry "family" flee when they heard the wind, it is not difficult to see that Baima Yi has never been worthy of the reputation of the first light cavalry in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
It's a pity that in the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zhan met his lifelong nemesis Ju Yi, and Bai Ma Yi never recovered.
Liu Yu said to Gongsun Zhan very politely: "Liu Yu has seen General Gongsun, and General Gongsun is powerful outside, and he has made great contributions to protecting my Han frontier. Now he has defeated Zhang Chun and been awarded the title of Captain, which is really gratifying. β
Gongsun Chan snorted and said, "Speaking of Zhang Chun, this matter is also thanks to Liu Yu's son, if it weren't for Gongzi's help, Zhan might not be able to come back at this time?" β
Liu Yu will not be stupid when Gongsun Chan is thanking himself, what kind of person is Gongsun Chan, he is arrogant, and he has always treated foreign races with violence and solved all problems by force. This time, he was besieged for so long, and Liu Yu proposed to adopt a strategy of appeasement, which was already in conflict with Gongsun Zhan's proposition, and he just didn't realize it at this time.
Liu Yu didn't want to be a little unhappy with Gongsun Zhan, and said: "What did General Gongsun say, in fact, I, like the general, still tend to suppress the alien race by force, but in my opinion, sometimes blindly suppressing by force has no effect, on the contrary, if we appropriately come to some gentle policies on the basis of force suppression, and appease the alien race, I think there will definitely be unexpected effects." β
Gongsun Chan nodded with satisfaction, he was very happy with Liu Yu's first half of the words, but as for the second half of the words, he didn't listen to them at all.
Treat Gongsun Chan as a person, Liu Yu doesn't know how to deal with it now, if Gongsun Chan and Liu Yu really have too deep contradictions in the future, he can only go to war with him, but Liu Yu wants to use Gongsun Chan's deterrent power in the Wuhuan and Xianbei clans, so that Gongsun Chan can help him solve the problems of Wuhuan and other clans in the future.
For a while, Liu Yu fell into a contradiction, how could he make Gongsun Zhan, a person who only knows how to solve problems by force, turn his brains? As long as he doesn't develop with his father Liu Yu to the point where he can't be eased, Gongsun Chan is worth Liu Yu's use.
I can't think of a good way at the moment, so Liu Yu had to shake his head, let's take a step at a time and see how to plan again in the future.
At the moment, he didn't want to have too much communication with Gongsun Zhan, so he said to Gongsun Zhan: "General Gongsun is going to see my father, it just so happens that I have something to go out, so I won't bother you." β
Gongsun Chan nodded and said, "You go." β
After saying goodbye to Gongsun Zhan, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect to see Gongsun Chan and his White Horse Yicong here, but Gongsun Chan is a character, and the White Horse Yicong in his hand is indeed worthy of his reputation, and he is a good army and a good soldier who has been honed by a long war.
But the more he saw Gongsun Zhan's strength, the more worried Liu Yu became, and the more worried he was, the more motivated Liu Yu became, and his fists were king. If you want to really solve Gongsun Zhan's problem, developing your own strength is the first priority at the moment, as long as Liu Yu's strength grows to the point that Gongsun Chan can't compete, then Gongsun Chan will not be a problem at all.
