Chapter 53: Retreating Pursuers (8)
While Gongsun Zhan was gulping down the food sent by his son, he listened to Fang Yu's eyebrows fluttering and talking about what Gongsun Xu had done in Xingcheng, and a glimmer of light finally appeared on his dark face.
When sending Fang Yu to Xingcheng, Gongsun Chan had several worst-case plans in his heart.
Xingcheng was lost, the back road was cut off, reinforcements could not come to his aid, and he was besieged by the rebels...... Gongsun Chan has considered all these things, and he is even more afraid of losing his son.
What he didn't expect was that after the scout captain Fang Yu came back, all he brought back was good news.
Gongsun Chan didn't expect that his son would actually use more than a thousand soldiers to defeat the Wuhuan general, who was almost as famous as him.
Xingcheng was defended, the danger of the back road being cut off was lifted, not to mention, his son also sent reinforcements to help him retreat from the enemy, Gongsun Chan felt that his black face was slightly hot.
Gongsun Chan has been in a hurry, and has always been free to do nothing against the pursuers behind him, the biggest reason is that he does not know the situation in Xingcheng.
He was afraid that Xingcheng would be occupied by the cavalry sent by Lord Karasuma, and if it really came to such a point, then he would lose everything and never recover.
It is precisely for this reason that Gongsun Zhan did not like the idea of letting him be ashamed after he had eaten a full meal.
However, when he saw the food that was sent, and the soldiers around him who were tired but eating well, Gongsun Chan finally chose to accept Gongsun Xu's statement, first let his soldiers have a full meal, and then attack the rebels reactionarily.
Gongsun Chan was convinced of what his son said at this time, and since Gongsun continued to swear that he didn't have to worry about chasing soldiers, then he really didn't have anything to worry about.
All he needed to do now was to select soldiers from his troops to return to the battlefield to kill the enemy.
Dividing line ————————
Zhao Yun arranged the three hundred cavalry upstream, and after they completed the task of building a simple dam and digging the dam, they threw the remaining giant trees there and began to rush towards the battlefield.
The manager of this team is none other than Gongsun Xu, who has a pro-guard team under the command of Gongsun Da and Qi Ming.
Gongsun Xu used them as a framework, and then used some elite of the Han army as the foundation, so he was a little relieved about this cavalry team, because Gongsun Xu knew that the cavalry he put together was composed of three parts, one was his personal guard, and there would be nothing in terms of loyalty.
The other two parts are the cavalry that surrendered twice, the cavalry who surrendered when they ambushed Zhang Chunqiu Liju, and the promoted subordinates who were captured in the Battle of Xingcheng.
Their loyalty is quite low, even to the point that some people will choose to run away in the face of a tough battle.
But what! There is nothing about low loyalty, they are not familiar with each other, and after mixing them, there is a great mutual containment and suppression.
They don't trust each other, and they won't communicate deeply, even if there is a soldier who wants to rebel or escape, he will weigh whether he can escape.
This time, Gongsun Xu assigned them a very simple task, and it was a good fight, and he really didn't worry about these troops running away. These soldiers are not stupid, and they follow Gongsun Xu, not only because of their great military achievements, but also because of the salary of other troops.
Gongsun Xu did not break his promise after the defense of Xingcheng, and gave all the food and salary to his soldiers according to the highest reward mentioned before, that is, several promoters of Ustan who had recently surrendered, and Gongsun Xu gave quite high rewards.
Gongsun Xu didn't have much money in his hands, and he promoted those Wuhuan people to be rich, and they entered the Great Han Kingdom to burn and loot all the way, which can be said to be fat.
Not only was it promoted there, but Gongsun Xu also got a lot of money from Jia Hui, the guard of Xingcheng City.
Xingcheng was defended, and the big doors of Xingcheng were not cleaned twice, and under the 'guidance' of Jia Hui and many officials, they also took out a lot of money and grain to reward Gongsun Xu them.
It is precisely for this reason that Gongsun Xu did not need to use his reserve resources, and he had already paid a large amount of food and salary to his soldiers.
After Zhao Yun assigned them this task, Gongsun Da had been holding back his strength in his heart, wanting to rush to the battlefield to gain a lot of achievements.
After following Gongsun for a long time, Gongsun Da faintly had some enlightenment in his heart.
The young master was very helpful to him and Qi Ming many times, hoping that they would have the possibility of further improvement in the future, and he was constantly creating opportunities for a few of them.
Gongsun Da and Qi Ming completed the task of digging the dam, and after they left behind a dozen powerful soldiers, they immediately rushed to Zhao Yun and Han Yu's side.
Gongsun Da saw the changes in the battlefield from afar, and he was even more in awe and worship of Gongsun Xu in his heart.
When Gongsun Da followed Zhao Yun to ambush the rebel pursuers, Gongsun Xu had already said that they were the main force to kill the enemy this time, and when Gongsun Da saw that the rebel soldiers were chased by Zhao Yun like a mass of scattered sand, the surprise in his heart became even stronger.
What is Winning a Thousand Miles Away? Here it is.
Gongsun Da did not hesitate at all, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted loudly to the cavalry behind him: "Brothers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, whether you can be promoted and make a fortune depends on the present dynasty, rush!" ”
Ustan was one of the soldiers who promoted his soldiers, and he was one of the officers who still had this rebellious idea in this surrender, and along the way, he always had the idea of taking the opportunity to defect.
Gongsun continued to give him the official position of a qu chief, but he did not give him a single soldier, but only gave him the treatment of a qu chief.
For Ustan , Gongsun Xu has done well enough, and his official position and salary have reached the highest standard in his heart, but after all, he is a Wuhuan person, his family is in Karasuma Country, and his relatives are also in Karasuma Country, so he should not be loyal to him because of Gongsun Xu's favor.
But when Ustan saw the dam being dug and the raging river rushing down, the idea of defection was swept away.
Not to mention whether he can communicate well with the Wuhuan cavalry in the distance, and whether he can make them trust him, even Gongsun Xu's unpredictable methods have already scared his courage.
Serving as a soldier is to get paid and eat food, just to get ahead, and now Gongsun Xu has given them all this hardware, and promised to send someone to move their families from Karasuma Country to Dahan.
With such a promise, with such unpredictable means, if he really wanted to think about escaping again, it would really be more than worth the loss.
After Ustan decided to be loyal to Gongsun Xu, the spear in his hand was raised, and his mouth screamed even more, and an unstoppable momentum erupted from his body.
