Chapter 21: Before the War (5)

Han Cheng Qin system, although Xingcheng is a small city, but also well-planned.

In the Han Dynasty, the city was divided into three parts.

One is called "lvli", which is where ordinary people live, and it is probably the residential area where we live now.

The other is called "market", which, as you know, is our current market, a place to buy and sell things.

The last one is the "official temple", which is equivalent to the current government department, but what! But it's very different from the current government department.

Located in the north of the castle, the temple is like a castle within a city, with one side close to the city wall and the other three sides made of bluestone strips.

Gongsun Xu led the two guards of Gongsun Da and Qi Ming, riding war horses through the market quickly, passing through the still black smoke, and quickly arrived at the official temple in the north of the city.

The gate of the official temple has been smashed, but at this time, it is temporarily used as a gate with a dilapidated door panel for ordinary people's homes.

The officials, the people, or the drum that was beaten by something great in the city was thrown away at the gate at this time.

The entire Xingcheng has been completely taken over by Gongsun Xu after Gongsun Xu settled in, and even Xingcheng, which is now back from the city guard, is also managed by Gongsun Xu.

This can be regarded as a kind of takeover by force!

Gongsun Xu looked at the two county officials outside the gate of the official temple, turned over and dismounted directly, and handed the reins in his hands to the two people.

Gongsun Xu understood in his heart that this was the person arranged by the city guard to greet him at the gate. The official is different from the city guard, and the identity of the city guard should be said to be quite noble, and he will never come out easily to greet Gongsun Xu.

At this time in the late Han Dynasty, if you want to be an official, generally speaking, there are three ways, the first is Meng Ji, officials with more than 2,000 stones can recommend their children to enter the court to become officials, Gongsun Chan is now a 2,000 stone of Yulu, but Gongsun Xu has never thought of using the cheap father's shadow to become an official at this time, I am afraid that before I understand, I will be killed by a trumped-up charge.

Whether it's Dong Zhuo, He Jin, or the ten permanent servants of Na Lao, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

The second way is to raise filial piety, and then the bus into Beijing, at this time to raise filial piety and Yin Ji is about the same, there is no big meaning, if you can not fight with those people, or don't fight with those people.

Lu Zhi, the teacher of the cheap father, can be said to be a great Confucian, and it can even be said that he has a deep background, but in this officialdom struggle, he didn't even have a wave at all, it can be said that the water in this is too deep, and if he doesn't get it right, his life will be in it.

The third is to be conscripted, at the request of the government and even the county government and the state government, as a subordinate official, when the time comes, he will also be turned into a formal magistrate.

As we said now, the leaders in the city or province see you as a good person and promote you to a certain position, but now it has not been recognized by the government, as long as you make the corresponding merits or the approval from above, you will become a formal official.

This time, his father recruited Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju, and he made great contributions, although his cheap father and Liu Yu did not deal with each other, but at this time, the two of them had not torn their faces.

Gongsun Xu doesn't want to be bored with himself because of being an official, in such a troubled world, being an official is not a thing that Gongsun Xu likes, what he needs to do most now is to get a piece of territory, get some soldiers who belong to him, and first mix up the grass king in the troubled times, as for how to do it in the future, it is another question.

Gongsun Xu lived in the Northeast before he was reborn, and he felt in his heart that if he wanted to establish a foundation, he should be in the Northeast, so he attached great importance to Xingcheng at this time, after all, this place was the gateway to the Northeast region.

In the future, Gongsun Xu wants to pass through the northeast, so the city guard of this place still needs to be encompassed, which will definitely be of some help to Gongsun Xu's grand plans in the future.

When Gongsun continued to enter the palace, he saw a scribe dressed as a city guard, and greeted him with a smile from inside.

The middle-aged scribe, who looked nearly forty, greeted him with a smile and said, "The person who came is a young general, Mingyuan has lost his welcome, and I hope that the young general will forgive his sins." Please use tea inside. ”

The city guard of Xingcheng is surnamed Jia Minghui Mingyuan, which is a side branch of the Jia family and belongs to the cousin of Jia Xu, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty.

It's just that whether he is in the Han Dynasty or in the Three Kingdoms, no one has mentioned him at all.

Jia Hui also had his helplessness when he went to Xingcheng, he offended one of Zhang Rang's subordinates when the eunuchs were rampant, and he was sent to this remote place.

This time, Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju passed through Xingcheng in chaos, almost killing him, and ruining his future future, otherwise, as Jia Hui, he would never put down his body to compliment Gongsun Xu.

In Jia Hui's heart, Gongsun Xu is nothing more than a yellow-mouthed child, nothing more than a Lao Tzu who can fight, if it were normal, he would not treat Gongsun Xu like this at all.

When Gongsun Xu saw Jia Hui's honor, he immediately understood that the city guard in front of him was definitely a cunning old fox.

Gongsun Xu immediately gave up his hand and said: "Uncle Jia Shi has killed the kid, the kid came here to ask Uncle Shi for important things, and I hope that Uncle Shi will give the boy some advice, and I hope that Uncle Shi will give him advice." ”

Gongsun Xu knew in his heart that this old man was playing with him! Since Jia Hui wants to play false, then he will play with him, and after a while, he will say what he means, and Jia Hui is afraid that he will cooperate with him well.

Jia Hui diligently held Gongsun Xu's hand until he reached the inner room behind the mansion before slowly letting go of his hand.

Jia Hui is still quite satisfied with Gongsun Xu's general knowledge, that sentence Uncle Shi is definitely not in vain, as long as Gongsun Xu does not put forward a request for non-points, Jia Hui really doesn't mind meeting Gongsun Xu.

After Gongsun Xu and Jia Hui exchanged a few words, he waved his hand for Gongsun Da and Qi Ming to withdraw, and told the content of the letter he received from Tian Kai today and his intention......

After Zhao Yun saw the accommodation arranged for him by Gongsun Xu, there was a trace of warmth in his eyes for this young man who was not much younger than himself.

It was a time of war, and it was already a luxury to have a house that could live in it, but what Gongsun Xu gave Zhao Yun was a house where the big families lived next to the Xingcheng Mansion.

This room is much larger than the normal room, and a large bath bucket was specially arranged for Zhao Yun in the center of the room, that is, a new mosquito net was hung on the big bed that was more than two meters long.

It's the height of summer, and the air is full of hot air, so being able to take a hot bath comfortably at this time is simply a fairy-like enjoyment.

Zhao Yun had already seen clearly when he followed Gongsun Xu into the room where he lived, and the things used by Gongsun Xu were even inferior to his side.

When Zhao Yun saw such an arrangement, he couldn't figure out what Gongsun Xu was doing.

Zhao Yun was a person from the late Han Dynasty, and he really couldn't adapt to Gongsun Xu's practice of corporal Lixian in later generations.

If Zhao Yun can be regarded as a famous general or a celebrity at this time, it is understandable that Gongsun Xu put on such an appearance for him.

However, Zhao Yun is only the least valued lieutenant on Gongsun Zhan's side, and even when the plan for sending troops is discussed, Zhao Yun will not be allowed to participate.

If Gongsun Xu values his military force, or military talent, it is understandable, but Zhao Yun did not find that Gongsun Xu had such a tendency at this time, and he was as rigid as his Lao Tzu, and came up with a plan that he was not optimistic about at all.

In Zhao Yun's opinion, Gongsun Xu's doing this was pure nonsense, and he wanted to push them into the fire pit.

The Wuhuan cavalry is not said to be the most powerful cavalry today, but it is also one of the strongest teams.

And Gongsun Xu's current subordinates are all people, nothing more than nearly a thousand infantry and about a thousand surrendered soldiers, and the disabled soldiers account for a quarter.

According to the plan he gave to Gongsun Xu, there is no problem in defending the place of Xingcheng, after all, the light cavalry sent by Lord Wuhuan Nanlou will not have any advantage in attacking the city.

And the plan that Gongsun Xu came up with was a little puzzled to Zhao Yun, if those sharp wooden stakes were not arranged in the horse pit, the enemy would have a chance to escape from the horse pit.

In Zhao Yun's mind, the trap pit was the shape that went straight up and down, full of sharp wooden stakes or sharp iron products, but what Gongsun Xu designed and asked all the young people in the city to execute was another shape that he couldn't understand.

The greatest intention of arranging the trap is to weaken the enemy's combat effectiveness and make the enemy's soldiers and horses incapacitated.

However, Gongsun Xu had the ingenuity to ask his men to cover the huge horse trap, and they had to wait until more than half of the cavalry entered the city to expose the horse trap to block the enemy's rapid attack.

The kind of thing that Gongsun Xu arranged inside the city gate made Zhao Yunyun Mountain foggy, and Zhao Yun had never seen such an arrangement at all.

This is simply nonsense, with the 1,000 or so foot soldiers in Gongsun Xu's hands, it is definitely a child's play to want to fight against the cavalry.

But what! Gongsun Xu confidently told him that everything had to wait for the Wuhuan cavalry to come, and there would be miracles in everything, and he was not stupid, and he couldn't put himself in a crisis.

Before, when Gongsun Xu begged Gongsun Chan not to kill the captives, no one was optimistic about Gongsun Xu, and no one was willing to believe Gongsun Xu, but Gongsun Xu did it.

Could it be that this son of Gongsun Chan can really create miracles?
