Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Soldiers Are Divided into Two Paths
Gongsun Xu sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, he tasted half a pot of good tea given to him by Jia Hui in his hand, and after enjoying life for a while, he slowly opened his tired eyes.
Gongsun Xu shook his somewhat stiff neck, and slowly said to the guards beside him: "You go down, according to the new establishment of the army, call all the generals above the rank of commander under you, I have important things to tell them." ”
Gongsun Xu also thought clearly when he was pretending to sleep, sooner rather than later, the sooner the action to exterminate the bandits, the more beneficial it would be for him, and the more he dragged it back, the less good it would be for him.
A quick victory is the king, now Xiangping is still in the hands of Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, he wants to take Xiangping into the bag, then he must rush to operate before Liu Yu and Beirong's peace talks come down, once Liu Yu and Beirong's peace talks are successful, he will fall short even if he wins Xiangping.
Now the army needs to run in, and the best run-in is actual combat.
If there is no actual combat running-in, in the event of a real battle, the newly built army under his command will definitely lag behind, or even collapse as soon as it comes into contact.
Zhao Yun, Han Yu, and the generals above the tun commander were all confused when they heard Gongsun Xu's summons.
When they arrived in the big tent of the Chinese army, they saw Gongsun Xu sleeping in the position of the main general, and they began to communicate with each other.
At this time, they found that none of them knew what Gongsun Xu had summoned them to do at this time.
They didn't know that Gongsun Xu had changed his battle plan and was ready to temporarily give up going straight to Xiangping and suppress bandits instead.
Hearing that his generals had arrived, Gongsun Xu's slightly closed eyes slowly opened, and his eyes swept over a circle of his generals like a torch.
Gongsun Xu was very dissatisfied with the current generals under him, after all, only Zhao Yun was a famous general in the Three Kingdoms, and the rest of them should not even reach the level of a fourth-rate general.
Gongsun Xu stood up, picked up the military map given to him by Lao Tzu from the desk in front of him, walked to the middle of the big tent in four directions, and put the military map on the desk in the middle of the big tent.
Seeing the generals surrounding, he began to point out to his subordinates what was marked on the map, and directly pointed out what they were going to do next to exterminate the bandits.
Gongsun Xu told his generals that this operation to exterminate the bandits was the first large-scale operation since they formed the army, and it could only succeed, not fail.
He divided the whole army in two, divided into two groups.
The first group of people was commanded by Han Yu and Gongsun Da, aiming at Qingfeng Dazhai thirty miles away, and let the two of them strive to take Qingfeng Dazhai in the shortest time.
The second group of men and horses was led by Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun, and the target was Tempest Village, twenty miles northwest behind them.
As soon as Gongsun Xu's plan was spoken, except for Han Yu, Gongsun Da and Zhao Yun, who often followed Gongsun Xu, there was no big reaction, and the rest of the officers were so shocked that their eyes fell to the ground.
When these officers saw that Gongsun Xu had finished arranging, they immediately jumped out quickly and began to persuade Gongsun Xu in a gossiping manner, saying that this matter could not be done.
If Gongsun Xu has Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan's brigade behind him, he can still go to those two places to fight a dozen, but Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan have no intention of leaving Xingcheng at all, just these people, then they can't fight at all!
If you want to go out and exterminate the bandits, it is all from the soft persimmon first, how can you pick the two largest bandit nests to start a war at the beginning.
In their hearts, Gongsun Xu is definitely a little guy with Zhao Kuo's character, and he is too whimsical.
Divide the troops into two ways to fight the famous large cottage in the entire Youzhou, it is simply hitting a stone with an egg, and there is no chance of winning at all.
Not to mention that their troops have just joined Gongsun Xu's troops, and they have not yet completed the run-in, even if they are the armies that have been working together all year round, they can't shake the two cottages.
Most of these officers are locals in Youzhou, and they still have a certain understanding of several famous bandits in Youzhou.
The first Qingfeng cottage mentioned by Gongsun Xu has nearly 3,000 bandits, most of whom are murderous thugs, and the overall strength is quite strong, not to mention, the location of the cottage is even easier to defend and difficult to attack.
Back then, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou encircled and suppressed Qingfeng Cottage twice, that is to say, the Qingfeng Cottage was not wanted to provoke the regular army of Youzhou, how could this General Gongsun still exterminate the bandits at such a time!
The generals sent by Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan to Gongsun Xu, they have always felt quite satisfied with Gongsun Xu's arrangement, after all, eating, drinking and various treatments are better than when they were under Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan.
However, good treatment can't be exchanged for life! Gongsun Xu made such a decision, and they really didn't dare to agree.
If you just go to attack Qingfeng Cottage, with excellent weapons and equipment, you still have the strength to fight, but Gongsun Xu has to divide the troops and attack the Wind Village.
Hurricane Village is in the middle of Xingcheng and Xiangping, and it is also a fairly famous bandit gang, although there are only about 2,000 bandits who can fight in Hurricane Village, but there are nearly 500 cavalry among them.
Three years ago, Gongsun Yue led 2,000 soldiers from Liaodong vassal countries to encircle and suppress, although it caused a certain loss to Hurricane Village, but it also killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800.
The army under Gongsun Xu has just been formed into an army, and most of them are still infantry, and they are divided into two ways to attack these two places, which is simply ants shaking elephants.
If it is said that General Meng Yi and General Gongsun Zhan led the army to exterminate the bandits, and there is still the possibility of successfully destroying these two cottages, if Gongsun Xu led them to exterminate the bandits, it would be purely looking for death.
Just when they were still struggling with these things, Gongsun Xu directly issued an order, telling everyone to do what he said and set off immediately.
Now he is the general in charge of this operation, the general in charge, and he will be responsible for any problems that arise, and everyone will just follow orders.
If he couldn't do anything, he would never let his soldiers go up to die, and he didn't want to hear different voices in the arrangement of this operation.
In the matter of Gongsun Xu's order, those who unconditionally believed in Gongsun Xu included Zhao Yun Han Yu and Gongsun Da and Qi Ming, who were newly promoted by Gongsun Xu.
In their hearts, Gongsun Xu was not reckless in making such a decision, because they knew that Gongsun Xu had recently come up with a big killing weapon like a trebuchet, not to mention a large gang of bandits, it was a strong city, and they also had the confidence to win if they took it.
They have confidence in Gongsun Xu's big killer, let alone in Gongsun Xu, they have come all the way with Gongsun Xu, witnessed Gongsun Xu's military talent and strength, and even saw Gongsun Xu create miracles one after another.
There was no problem in their hearts at all about this kind of small battle to fight the bandits, and what they were thinking about the most now was how to minimize the casualties of their soldiers and achieve Gongsun Xu's satisfaction.
The military order is like a mountain, and after Gongsun Xu's order is issued, Rao is Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan's newly sent generals are very dissatisfied, but the general has issued an order, and they must strictly implement it, otherwise there is only a dead end.
Although these officers complained in their hearts, they still began to reorganize their troops according to Gongsun Xu's arrangement, preparing to exterminate the bandits.
After nearly an hour of reorganizing the army, Han Yu and Gongsun Da, under the advice of Gongsun Xu, took the lead in leading their 3,000 infantry, carrying 30 freshly baked trebuchets and hitting the road in the incomprehensible eyes of everyone.
