Chapter 22 Promotion to Partial General
Nanpi, Gongsun Fan knelt on the lobby, and the civil and military officials on both sides reported the situation in Bohai County, as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban went north, the people of Bohai County were all terrified, and some people with family assets had already packed their bags and prepared to take refuge in Wei County.

Wei Junzhi Yecheng is the core of Yuan Shao's power, if these people are allowed to go to Yecheng, it will definitely greatly enhance Yuan Shao's power, now the two largest forces in the north are Yuan Shao and his brother Gongsun Zhan, if you want to unify Hebei, you must defeat Yuan Shao, Gongsun Fan of course can not tolerate such a thing.
Forcibly leaving these people in Bohai deeply offended many Gaomen clans in Bohai County, although these people could not control Bohai, they could make Gongsun Fan extremely uncomfortable, and his subordinates were greatly hindered from recruiting food and soldiers.
"Eighteen hundred strong men, Guan chief, you have only recruited so many people for such a long time, do you know that Zhang Wu is still besieged by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, and Qingzhou Yellow Turbans are still going north?
Gongsun Fan's face turned blue, he raised his hand and threw a roll of bamboo slips on the ground, Huo Ran got up, stared at the Bohai County magistrate on the right, his eyes were on fire, and he wanted to draw his sword and kill this person.
It's not that he's irritable and irritable, it's really that there have been too many things that don't go well recently, on the one hand, he wants to appease the county, on the other hand, he has to recruit troops to recruit grain and prepare grain and grass for Gongsun Zhan, who is about to go south, and his busy feet don't touch the ground, and the big families in the county are constantly jumping out to find trouble, and there has been a fire in his heart, and the magistrate of Bohai County also hit the muzzle of the gun at this time.
"Taishou, I really can't recruit people, except for Zhangwu County, the strong men of the other eight counties have already hid in the nearby dock pot, and these more than a thousand strong men are still recruited with great difficulty!"
"Hiding in the dock pot?" Gongsun Fan's hands and feet trembled, the family of Bohai County was so despicable, and gathered the nearby Zhuang Ding into the dock pot in advance, without the Zhuang Ding, what would he use to form an army to resist the Yellow Turban thieves and buy time for Gongsun Zhan to go south.
At this time, he was eager to draw his sword and kill all the officials from the family present, but in the end, he controlled his anger and turned his head to look at the county.
"Wang Juncheng, what about you, how much grain and grass have you collected?"
Wang Juncheng is an old man with a smile on his face, he was born in the Bohai royal family, and the relationship with Gongsun Fan is somewhat close, a few days ago, Gongsun Fan also personally appointed Wang Shi, a child of the Wang family, as a new military captain, to repay their support for themselves.
"Qi Yu Taishou, as of today, 40,000 quintals of grain have been collected, which is enough for the army for a month!" Wang Juncheng said with a smile.
40,000 quintals of grain and grass! Several officials exclaimed softly, looking left and right, they had collected so much grain and grass in such a short time, and this person could really have some ability to become a county prince.
Gongsun Fan relieved himself and sat down, 40,000 quintals of grain and grass plus 50,000 quintals of grain and grass purchased from the Zhen family were enough to support his brother's army for war.
"It seems that this Wang family is determined to take refuge in Gongsun Zhan, 40,000 loads of grain and grass, I heard that the Wang family itself has 10,000 loads!"
"Isn't it for fame and wealth that you know the royal style of the Wang family? This reckless puppet was actually appointed as a captain, it's really a mess, isn't Gongsun Fan afraid that he will be wiped out?"
Several officials from a family were whispering at the bottom of the hall, and it could be seen that they had deep hostility towards Gongsun Fan in their hearts.
Knocking on the table, the lobby suddenly fell silent, Gongsun Fan glanced at it, and said: "Gentlemen, before my brother goes south, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban will have to rely on Bohai to resist by itself, and if we don't work together at this time, Bohai is in danger! A few days ago, Captain Zhang Wugao sent three messengers to ask me for help, and I had no choice but to send the five thousand recruits I had just recruited to help in the war!"
"You also know that the recruits are not enough to resist the Yellow Turban thieves, and now these five thousand recruits are afraid that they have been exhausted, if we don't continue to send reinforcements, under the continuous attack of the Yellow Turban army, Zhang Wucheng will not be able to resist at all!"
Speaking of this, Gongsun Fan's tone was extremely heavy.
"The county soldiers of Bohai were all taken away by Yuan Shao, and most of them were lost under the Tiger Prison Pass, and a few days ago 20,000 county soldiers were recruited to garrison Nanpi counties, except for these more than 1,000 strong men, Bohai has no other strength, and now it is a time of crisis, I don't know which general is willing to ask Ying, command the soldiers and horses of the headquarters and this thousand young men and women to support Zhang Wu?"
Gongsun Fan looked at the Bohai generals on the left, hoping that someone would take the initiative to come out and ask for help, Gongsun Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, but he wanted to come out but was afraid that Gongsun Fan would blame him, and the thousand white horses he commanded were elite, and it was impossible to consume them in the battle to defend the city.
In addition to Gongsun Yuan, the generals of the Bohai Sea, you look at me, I look at you, they all shrunk their necks, not daring to come out, think about it, now Zhang Wu is besieged by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Legions, and now he is sending troops to help the war, wouldn't he bring his own subordinates into the tiger's mouth, they have the strength to save their lives in the chaotic army, but their subordinates do not have such strength.
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became dull, Gongsun Fan's face turned blue again, and he looked at the civil and military officials below, and his heart was boiling with murderous intent. In the face of the non-cooperation of the whole of Bohai County, he made up his mind at this time that as long as his brother Gongsun Zan led the army south, he would definitely wash Bohai in blood and make these people pay the price.
"Report ~ Zhang Wu urgent!"
At this time, a herald hurriedly ran in, knelt on the ground, raised his hand to hold up the military report, breaking the dullness of the hall, hearing that it was an urgent report from Zhang Wu, Gongsun Fan was shocked, could it be that Zhang Wu was broken?
"Hurry up!" Gongsun Fan tried to keep his calm, and asked the attendants on the left and right to fetch the military newspaper and open it immediately.
The military attachés below the hall had different expressions and exchanged glances with each other.
"It seems that Zhang Wucheng can't stop the attack of the Yellow Turbans, it has been broken, and the Yellow Turban army has Zhang Wu as a support, and the speed of going north will definitely speed up a lot, we must prepare in advance. ”
"I've been ready for a long time, just wait for the Yellow Turban to go north, I will order the clansmen to open the gate of the city, transfer to Yecheng with their belongings, and see how this northern barbarian will deal with hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves!"
Just as these people were quietly exchanging opinions, with a bang, Gongsun Fan slapped the wooden case violently, laughed, and his heart was exhausted, and his whole body was unspeakably happy.
"Guo Ying really lived up to expectations, won more with less, broke 30,000 yellow scarves with 5,000 men and horses, and slashed the handsome Huanglong!
Gongsun Fan stood up and grabbed the battle report and hurried back and forth, his joy was indescribable. "Gao Bin defended the city to the death, and tried his best to ensure that Zhang Wu was not lost, and he also had merit, these two people have made great contributions, and they must be rewarded!"
He deliberately said loudly, and the implication was obvious, without you people, I would still be able to defend the Bohai Sea and win the Yellow Turban! The faces of the military officials below the hall were ugly, as if they had been slapped severely.
Wang Juncheng's expression was soothing, and he laughed a few times, he is now proud of Gongsun Fan, so he immediately congratulated: "Congratulations to Taishou, and a good general, there is this person to guard Zhangwu, and he is as stable as Mount Tai!"
Then he suddenly wondered, Guo Ying and Gao Bin were at the same level as Wang Shi, why only the names of the two of them were mentioned in the military newspaper, could there be any accident in Wang Shi? Thinking of this, his heart trembled.
"Taishou, can you take a look at the military report?" Wang Juncheng said.
Gongsun Fan glanced at him deeply, and some words were inconvenient to say, so he directly handed him the military report.
Wang Juncheng glanced at ten lines, and in the blink of an eye, he flipped through the general's newspaper, and when he saw the report about Wang Shi, his face turned blue and white, and he knew why he didn't mention Wang Shi too much.
Wang Juncheng sighed, the family was unfortunate, and there was actually a waste of Wang Shi, who corrupted the door, and he still managed to push his nephew to the position of captain.
Gongsun Fan didn't say what to do with Wang Shi, and Wang Juncheng himself would not let the ugliness of his family be publicized, so he silently retreated, pinching the military newspaper and not letting others watch it.
"Pass on my general's order, appoint Guo Ying as a partial general, and 5,000 recruits will be organized into a battalion, and the number will be broken into a barracks, and it will be under Guo Ying's control! Gao Bin will be appointed as a thief lieutenant general, and he will temporarily take the post of captain of Zhangwu! Wang Shi will be transferred back to Nanpi and serve as the captain of the North Gate!"
Gongsun Fan Lei acted resolutely, and after a little thought, he issued a general order, and with this order, Guo Longzhen became one of the only partial generals in Bohai County. He was in charge of 5,000 soldiers and horses, and his power increased greatly.
The military attachés under the hall were speechless, and they couldn't find a reason to oppose it, Guo Longzhen was promoted with military merits, and he was justified and unstoppable.
