834 The end of Gongsun Du
For this kind of thing to think about properly, Gongsun Du felt that he had a little problem.
The main thing is to declare war in advance, and you don't have to hesitate to pull the moves, you can directly lead the troops to call, so what else is there to do?
After thinking about it, Gongsun Du felt that he still adopted Yangyi's suggestion.
First of all, contact the Goguryeo people and Buyeo, and tell them that the imperial court is coming to destroy them, and if they want to survive, the only way is to obey his command, stand with him, and gather the armies of the two countries to prepare to accept his war orders.
It is obvious that no one but him could help Goguryeo and Buyeo escape this catastrophe.
Upon hearing this news, the Fuyu King Wei Qiutai and the Goguryeo King Yiyimo were very surprised, and immediately felt frightened, not knowing why the Han Empire wanted to attack them, obviously they had surrendered to Gongsun Du, the general of the Han Empire, why did the Han Empire not let them go?
Is there anything wrong here?
The second king sent questions to Gongsun Du in a panic, but Gongsun Du did not give them any reasonable explanation, but only told them that the 30,000 Han army was coming in an instant, and if they did not prepare to meet the battle quickly, and then wanted to resist when the Han army arrived at the door, it would be too late.
The second king had no choice but to straighten out the soldiers and horses while sending people to find out what was going on, trying to find out what was going on.
They have been honest for several years, why are they suddenly going to be beaten?
Gongsun Du didn't care what they thought, as long as they gathered the army to give him a sense of security, Gongsun Du also gathered the army while sending people to provide grain to the Han army according to the requirements of the imperial court.
The imperial court informed the advance route of the main force of the Han army and the nodes that needed to provide grain, Gongsun Du only needed to provide grain, and this work was not very difficult to do, but Gongsun Du still had doubts in his heart, so although he provided grain, the amount provided was relatively small.
It was the state of not having enough to eat and not starving to death, and he thought that this would limit the combat effectiveness of the main forces of the Han army and prevent them from launching a surprise attack.
But Gongsun Du didn't expect that everything he did, as well as all his circumstances, was not a secret.
Zhao Zhao has personally led 2,000 elites to set off from the mouth of Yuyang County on a new warship, sailing all the way to the northeast along the coastline, which lasted several days, and successfully landed near Pingguo County, Liaodong County, and no one came to resist.
When the recruit landed, a team of East Park spies came to greet him.
The spies reported to the recruits the latest information they knew, and the recruits learned that Gongsun Du had stirred up the concerns of the Goguryeo and Buyeo kingdoms, causing them to concentrate their forces to guard against the Han army, so that the Han army lost its first-mover advantage against them.
Moreover, Gongsun Du used his personal prestige to successfully obtain command of the armies of Goguryeo and Buyeo, and even if he had only one person, he could command an army of more than 40,000 people.
This situation made Lead-Chi very angry.
"It seems that Gongsun Du is really going to rebel, and if he leaks such military information to the enemy, even if His Majesty wants to forgive him, I will not forgive him!"
After calming down for a while, he asked again: "The combined army of Goguryeo and Buyeo has 40,000 people?" ”
"There will be more, not less."
The spy replied: "In normal battles, they will only use one to twenty thousand people, but that is only the elite that can be quickly summoned, if the source of troops is expanded, a full-scale war is started, and time is given, these two countries, plus the surrounding Dongwofu and other tribes, even if they get 100,000 people, it is not impossible." ”
"It seems that they really have some money."
Zhao squinted his eyes and said: "Before, I thought that His Majesty sent the Xiao Cavalry and the Leopard Cavalry to appease their emotions, but now it seems that they really need to come over, otherwise we can win the battle with only 30,000 people, but we may not be able to win completely." ”
"And what are you going to do next?"
"Act according to the original plan, do not change the plan."
Zhao Zhao said coldly: "Gongsun Du is still in Xiangping City, right?" ”
"Yes."
"Can our men hold at least one gate?"
"Both are fine."
The spy smiled proudly: "In Gongsun Du's city gate captains, two of them are our own people, and there are three captains in the army who are also our people, if it is just to deal with Gongsun Du, it is indeed not difficult, the difficulty is that the Goguryeo Kingdom and Buyeo Kingdom have already begun to prepare their armies, otherwise I will not come to remind you to be careful." ”
"The East Park Spy is really powerful."
He praised and said: "Liu Hui's kid is silent, I didn't expect to pull out such a powerful team silently, with you, it's just twice the result with half the effort." ”
"This is our mission and duty, for Your Majesty's great cause, we should do whatever it takes!"
The spy clenched his fist in his chest with one hand: "We are all people who have been able to survive by His Majesty's favor, and we swear by our lives, even if we spare our lives, we will not hesitate to spare our lives!" ”
"Good! Good boy! ”
He patted the detective on the shoulder: "Dahan has a warrior like you, why can't he win?" ”
Because of the help of the East Park secret agents, he was able to lead the two thousand elites to a path that was inaccessible and very safe.
The vast and sparsely populated land of Liaodong is the best cover for the army's march, and Gongsun Du's energy at this time is in the north, all on the main force of the Han army that is about to arrive, he didn't expect that the commander of the Han army actually took an elite army to copy his back road from the south.
On March 21 of the third year of Zhenguan, he led two thousand Han troops to cross Wenxian, Anshi County and Xinchang County one after another, and directly entered Xiangping County.
At this time, Xiangping County has also become an important grain storage place and transit station, and the grain from all directions is converging to Xiangping, and at this moment, the grain stored in Xiangping County is enough for 30,000 troops to use for a year.
Gongsun Du nervously waited for the news from the north, the news of the arrival of the main force of the Han army, and the news that the lead would bring him.
But he didn't expect that the lead appeared from the south.
At dusk in the afternoon, he suddenly led two thousand elite Han troops to appear outside Xiangping County, and quickly assaulted, directly into Xiangping County, and Qin Yue, the garrison captain at the south gate of the county, did not have any resistance, but opened the city gate to welcome the Han army into the city, and also took the initiative to send people to guide the Han army to attack the important strongholds in Xiangping County.
At the same time, Sun Zhao, the captain of the North Gate Garrison, also got the news, so he immediately launched an uprising, called on his soldiers to control the city gate, and then led a force to attack the East City Gate, trying to control the East City Gate as quickly as possible, in case Gongsun Du might escape from the city gate, causing endless troubles.
When the raid was launched, Gongsun Du and the unprepared defenders of the city were eating.
Towards dusk, it is traditionally the second meal of the day.
Although Gongsun Du led his subordinates into the Third Reich, he did not care about the plan of three meals a day that the Third Reich was vigorously promoting, nor did he want to respond.
There was a lack of food production in Liaodong, and he had to rely on the land of these three counties to feed 10,000 elite soldiers, and he was even more lacking in food, and he had two meals a day, if it was three meals a day, he couldn't afford to raise 10,000 soldiers at all, so he announced that in order to save food, he would boycott the plan of three meals a day.
There is no basis for his words, Gongsun Du has to set an example, saying that he also eats two meals a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and shares weal and woe with everyone.
But having said that, Gongsun Du would eat a hearty "dim sum" every night after dark, mainly hot pot and fried chicken, and eat a lot of meat to please the body and mind.
If you think about it, you can understand that the Gongsun family is also a famous family in Liaodong, how can Gongsun Du lack food and clothing?
Although hot pot and fried chicken are absolutely high-end diets at present, a Liaodong ruler like Gongsun Du will never lack such a luxurious enjoyment, and his subordinates can only eat two meals a day, or simple porridge and rice and wild vegetables, while he can eat hot hot pot and crispy fried chicken.
Not to mention the rest, in terms of enjoyment alone, Gongsun Du does not lose to any powerful person.
But such a diet is now a sign of a decisive failure.
The Han army and the soldiers of the Liaodong Army led by the Dongyuan secret agents who had been prepared for a long time did not eat, and quickly launched a military operation and launched an attack, but the soldiers of Gongsun Du and the Liaodong Army failed to take precautions in time and were killed by surprise.
When Gongsun Du was panicking and opening his armor to prepare for battle, the vanguard of the Han army had already killed at the gate of his mansion under the leadership of Zhao, surrounded his mansion, and was fighting fiercely with the guards of his mansion, and advancing step by step.
Gongsun Du commanded the guards around him to go up, and saw the Han army battle flag at the gate of the mansion at a glance, and was shocked, unable to understand why the Han army, which had not arrived in Liaodong at all, would appear at the gate of his mansion.
How did these Han troops come about?
Flying?
According to accurate intelligence, the main force of the Han army was at least five days away from Liaodong, and no other troops were the first to arrive without the large army, so how did this army appear?
No one could explain it to him.
His fresh subordinates Liu Yi and Yang Yi are all leading troops in front to prepare for the upcoming Han army, and there are not many people around him, and he himself plans to set off to the front to meet the main force of the Han army in a few days, but who would have thought that the Han army came uninvited.
Gongsun Du's grief and panic could not slow down the pace of the Han army.
The Han army, led by the lead, poured into Gongsun Du's mansion like a storm, destroying all the resistance that could be seen, and then constantly approaching Gongsun Du, who was trying to counterattack with armor in his armor.
As a military general, Gongsun Du never lacked the strength and courage to fight, he brandished a long knife to join the battle, desperately fighting, trying to recover the decline and fight out of the encirclement, but it can only be said that the lead move is more brave than him, and the Han army is also more brave than his subordinates.
After a stick of incense, all the people around Gongsun Du were killed in battle, and Gongsun Du himself was knocked off his helmet and five long knives were across his neck.
His resistance was over, and his men who could still fight were gone.
"Whose subordinates are you? Why are you attacking me? Are you Han Jun? How can such a thing be done?! ”
With the support of the soldiers, he came to Gongsun Du, took off his helmet, and looked at Gongsun Du coldly.
Gongsun Du also looked at the move.
The two did not know each other, and although they had exchanged letters with each other, they had not met in person, so they did not know each other's true appearance.
"You're Gongsun Du?"
"Who are you?"
"Lead."
"You...... Are you a trick? ”
Gongsun Du's face changed greatly, and he exclaimed, "How did you get here?" How did you come? The main force of the Han army has not yet arrived, but you flew over? How is this possible? ”
"Don't say anything that might be impossible."
Zhao Zhao sneered: "Gongsun Du, Your Majesty has given you so much trust, let you command the three counties of Liaodong, and give you great powers, but you are not grateful, insatiable, and you have to be a state assassin, and you have to be a general, and you have greater powers, and there is more coercion, what you do is no longer what people and ministers should do, so I will take you down on the orders of Your Majesty!" Escort to Luoyang to ask for guilt! ”
Gongsun Du's face was pale and his breath was short.
"Can't I be rewarded for my great deeds? If the emperor doesn't give it, I can't ask for it? Am I not a human servant? Then what he Liu Xuande did, where does he look like a minister?! ”
The lead "snorted".
"Your Majesty's ascension to the throne and the title of emperor is the common wish of the people of the world, and your Majesty is a member of the Han family, and it is right to ascend the throne and call the emperor, and you, are you also a member of the Han family?"
Gongsun Du was furious.
"Is this comparable?!"
"Does it make sense to talk about anything comparable? If you have anything else to say, let's go to Luoyang to see Your Majesty! ”
He waved his hand and said coldly: "Hold on!" Escort to Luoyang! ”
"Yui!"
The guards around him immediately stepped forward to disarm Gongsun Du, tied up the five flowers, tied them into zongzi, gagged his mouth, and then arrested his family and clansmen together, not a single one was left, and they were all wiped out.
Although Gongsun Du was desperate and painful, he was also a little curious, not knowing how they planned to send him to Luoyang.
Could it be that he crossed Liaoze and sent himself away?
Then Gongsun Du saw the dozen or so big ships parked on the coast, and then he knew why he had lost.
Thousands of defenses, hundreds of secrets, they added a bunch of brains together, and they didn't realize that the Han army could attack by sea.
It is no wonder that in the more than 400 years of the Han Dynasty, there were only a few military wars launched from the sea, and most of them took place in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, more than 200 years ago, and the remaining 99 percent of the wars took place on land.
In the subconscious of the Han people, it seems that they never thought that attacking from the sea was a correct and guarded matter, so they automatically ignored the possibility that the Han army might attack from the sea.
Moreover, the scale and style of this ship have never been seen by Gongsun Du, although the kind of sea ship he has seen is also very large, but it is still too different from this kind of sea ship used by the Han army.
But at this time, no matter how curious he is, no matter how much he regrets it, it is useless, he is destined to become a prisoner of the ranks, lose everything, and even lose his life in front of Liu Bei.
Occasionally, he also had a trace of regret, he thought, if he hadn't asked Liu Bei so arrogantly for this and that, would Liu Bei let him go and solve him without soldiers?
This assumption can exist, but it will never arise.
