Chapter 90: Gongsun Du's ambition sprouts
Gongsun Du is very depressed, very troubled, and often unhappy, who framed me? But I haven't provoked anyone before, I'm in the easternmost part of this Han territory, this is a place where birds don't, who will notice? How could such a thing find itself? If you complete the blockade of the enemy, you will have merit, and if you can't complete it, you will be engaged in military law, which is obviously to find a reason to cut off my head!
But if you don't go, can't you? Of course not, the conscription order of the general of Zhengbei has been issued, is this a joke? If you really don't go, of course there is a way, first remove your own head, and then say, who do you love if you don't have a head, I can't afford to provoke you to cut off your own head? The question is who is willing to cut off their own heads, if that is the case, it is better to risk a life and be recruited to kill the enemy, even if it is dead and earn a good reputation, this account will be counted by anyone!
Gongsun Du racked his brains and couldn't come up with a decent idea, wow!
Gongsun Du is thirty-six years old at the age of Chinese New Year's Eve, and his character is Shengji, a native of Xiangping, Liaodong. There are two sons, Gongsun Kang, Kang Di Gongsun Gong, Kang Zi Gongsun Huang, and Gongsun Yuan. In the first year of Yongkang (167), when he was eighteen years old, he and his father and grandson Yan lived in Xuansu, where Gongsun Du served as a small county official. Xuansu Taishou Gongsun Chen saw Gongsun Du feel very cordial, it turned out that Taishou had a dead son named Leopard, and Gongsun Du also had a name called Leopard, so he sent his teacher to learn and marry a wife for him. In the second year of Jianning (169), when he was twenty years old, he raised the edict of a man of the Tao, and Xie Bi of Dongjun and Chen Dunju of Donghai took countermeasures, except for Shang Shulang ("Wei Zhi" as Langzhong). In the third year of Jianning (170 years), at the age of twenty-one, he moved to Jizhou to assassinate history. After being dismissed as a rumor, he is now idle at home.
Gongsun Du couldn't figure out a clue and had to gather his family to discuss a countermeasure, so his two sons, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, as well as the two closer Liu Yi and Yang Yi, sat together and listened to Gongsun Du tell the general story.
"Father, I feel that this matter must not be done, the Wuhuan rebellion is still far away from us, and there is no need for me to get involved." The eldest son, Gongsun Kang, advised.
"However, if the requisition order comes down, it won't work!" Gongsun Du said helplessly.
"I think this matter can be done, if I succeed in stopping the Wuhuan people, maybe my father will be in the eyes of the general of the expedition to the north, and his future will definitely be good." Gongsun Gong retorted.
"However, where to recruit so many soldiers, the Wuhuan people are not easy to deal with." Gongsun Kang retorted.
"Cut, there are a lot of aliens here, and the poor haha don't give some money casually
Are we going to die? ”
Gongsun Du looked at Liu Yi and Yang Yi who were present, and said, "The two of you also expressed some opinions, and everyone brainstormed. ”
Now that he was named, Liu Yi cleared his throat and said: "Since the requisition order has been issued, there is only one way to go, and not going is disobedience." ”
"Yes, General Zhengbei is in charge of the military of the entire Youzhou, if you don't respect the requisition order, I'm afraid that a catastrophe will come, I heard that we are not the only ones who have been requisitioned here, but other people have also been requisitioned. Besides, this expedition is certainly dangerous, but it must be carried out, and there is no need to argue about this one. If this expedition is lucky, maybe the adults will have the opportunity to take charge of the army from now on, which is the most important point. The question is whether victory can be achieved, and it is difficult to conclude at this time. Yang Yi's words were to the point.
"Yes, Yang Yi's words are thoroughly analyzed, if you don't go, you can't go, if you go, victory or defeat is unpredictable, if you really achieve good results, this is not an opportunity." Gongsun Du stroked his beard and nodded.
It is said that he has more than 20,000 horses in his hands, and he has built a huge granary in Feiru, hey, I don't know how young I am, I really don't know what this person thinks, can Feiru not provoke the eyes of the Wuhuan people? It is estimated that the Wuhuan people are rushing to the fat granary this time, can they not be in a hurry? I think the words of the second son can be adopted, recruit some poor and scumbag aliens from here, and solve the problem with just a few dollars. Liu Yi suggested.
Gongsun Du listened to everyone's opinions, bowed his head and pondered in his heart, weighing the pros and cons left and right, if he disobeyed the order, he had to find a way to escape, but it was not easy for a large family to run.
It's a bit of truth in Yangyi's words, if you're lucky this time, maybe you can really be in charge of the soldiers in the future, but now the world is a little chaotic, only the soldiers in your hands feel safe, yes, this is an opportunity, no matter what, you have to fight. Gongsun Du's heart began to be a little turbulent, the Han Dynasty was already a little unstable, perhaps, now to grasp this opportunity is an excellent start for himself, if it is a pity to give up.
Gongsun Du clenched his fists tightly and hammered Xiangxia hard, making Zuihou's decision. "I have decided to requisition the order accordingly and raise troops to fight against the Wuhuan bandits. You and the others immediately prepared all the affairs of the army, Kang Er was responsible for preparing weapons and some equipment, grain and grass, and Liu Yi assisted the eldest prince. Gong'er is in charge of recruitment, and Yang Yi assists. Fortunately, the ground we are responsible for is not large, that is, two or three Wuhuan people in Luoyi, it is enough to recruit two or three thousand people, and my family's financial resources are enough to deal with it, do you have anything to add? ”
Liu Yi pondered for a while and said, "My lord, most of the Wuhuan people are cavalry, should we also recruit some cavalry?" ”
"The cost of cavalry is much greater, I'm afraid our financial resources are a little difficult to support."
Gongsun Gong said as he calculated his family's financial resources. "Well, then let's recruit less, at least two hundred cavalry in case of urgent need. At the same time, this time you have to do your best, as long as you can go into battle with me, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, and you must go all out. Gongsun Du is conclusive.
"No, I'll do my best."
A few days later, Gongsun Du recruited 2,500 men and horses to set out on an expedition, and they were responsible for the three easternmost Daluoyi in Wuhuan, and some smaller scattered Luoyi further east had been assigned to some large families.
Gongsun Du's task was to deploy defenses in the west of the three Luoyi to prevent them from flowing westward to support Qiu Liju. Choosing a relatively haode position, Gongsun Du and others began to arrange their troops, 2,500 men lined up in two phalanxes, 200 cavalry on both flanks, and 100 men and horses on one side thought they were maneuvering.
"Listen, the task you are waiting for is to stop all the Wuhuan people who are advancing to the west, no matter what they are killing, after completing this combat mission, I will be rewarded when I go back, do you hear clearly?"
"Hear clearly, anyone who travels west will be killed!" When the soldiers heard that there was still a reward, they replied excitedly and loudly.
This cadre waited here for most of the day and did not see a single figure, feeling that time passed very slowly, waiting was a very boring thing, Gongsun Du and the others gradually became a little impatient, turned back to the temporary tent to rest.
In the afternoon, I finally saw some people on horseback running in this direction in the distance, and the soldiers came hard, Nima, and finally waited for the rabbit, and if they didn't come, they wouldn't be in a hurry to die!
The people were not moving fast, and they rode slowly. At first, these people didn't go in this direction, but it was a little strange, why were there still soldiers in array? Let's go check it out.
Curiosity kills the cat, and when these people approached within about a hundred paces, the soldiers who were waiting here were already impatient, and they opened their bows and shot arrows, and the arrows shot by more than 2,000 people came like a rain of rain, and more than a dozen of the 20 or so people who came died on the spot, and the rest of the people looked bad and turned their horses' heads and went away. For the first time, they successfully defeated the Wuhuan people who were advancing westward, and the excited soldiers screamed, alarming Gongsun Du and others in the tent. When Gongsun Du and the others came out, they first saw those people who were fleeing in the distance, asked about the situation, and then looked at the dozen or so people who died on the spot, and confirmed that it was the Wuhuan cavalry and was relieved. I thought that I had finally waited for the Wuhuan people who went west.
In fact, the three easternmost towns in Youzhou have not yet decided whether to correspond to Qiu Liju's recruitment order, which is so far away from Youzhou's fat, and does not touch the situation, in case there is anything unexpected that outweighs the loss, if it is really chaotic, it is better to rob the convenience and safety in the local area.
