Chapter 42: The Battle of Chosha
Of course, now that this Gongsun Zhan is a cavalry captain, he may not be able to take charge of the most elite Yulin cavalry in the imperial court.
But is this important?
Of course it doesn't matter, because there are also these honors.
This is very important to Gongsun Zhan.
And being able to understand Gongsun Zhan's happiness in the future, Gongsun Zhu felt that it was not impossible for him to temporarily use his Gongsun Zhan's official position and power.
After all... Although he is the captain of Jianyi, he is the captain of Jianyi under the command of Gongsun Zhan, the commander of the cavalry.
So, is there a problem with that?
No problem!
As for Liu Bei... The court naturally remembered him, but as soon as Liu Bei refused to use the money, he also specifically told Tian Chou that he didn't like it.
Second, he belongs to the righteous army, and he has to be Zou Jing's soldiers and horses, and Gongsun Zhu is not good at overstepping his responsibilities, so he can only give him continuous accumulation of credit.
Then inform the court, but in the end, how the court arranged, Gongsun Zhu is not easy to say.
For example, now, Liu Bei has become a fake school captain.
The temporary lieutenant under Gongsun Zhu... Well.... Let's leave it at that.
It's better than the military horse, isn't it?
Liu Bei didn't have any opinion on this, but thanked Tian Chou and Gongsun Zhu.
And after this Tian Chou knew the plan of Gongsun Zhu and Liu Bei, he immediately took the official seal of the cavalry lieutenant that he had just gotten and belonged to Gongsun Zhu and threw it out.
On the one hand, he made promises to many local officials, and on the other hand, he directly took soldiers and horses to recruit.
In this way, they were stunned to move forward all the way and "recruit" all the way.
He directly requisitioned cattle and horses along the way, and although they could not be ridden, they could pull carts, which made those foot soldiers much easier.
Their speed has also increased more than a notch again.
It's just that riding the captain to make an ox cart was finally found to be a fake riding captain to make an ox cart, and this matter may be an interesting story in the future.
But no one at this time cares.
A group of people walked all the way through the official crossing, into the middle of the Mu to arrive at the Changshe, Cao Zhou drove finally before the end of May, everyone came to the area of the Changshe, but also saw the second main army of the Han, the army of Huangfu Song.
Before coming here, Gongsun Zhu also had a thorough understanding of the personality of the emperor Fu Song and the situation on the battlefield.
Different from Lu Zhi's background, Huangfu Song is a real Jiangmen Huzi, his father Huangfu Festival, was the Yanmen Taishou of the Han Dynasty during his lifetime, and his uncle Huangfu has a greater prestige in the rules, and is one of the Liangzhou Sanming who is as famous as Duan Cheng.
Another Liangzhou Sanming is Dong Zhuo, who once relied on Zhang Huan and Zhang Lao.
Northwest Huangfu clan, that is the real Northwest General.
He Huangfu Song can also be said to be the one who has already decided on the future.
He Huangfu Song is a person who was destined to become a general by birth, even if he is not a famous general, he will definitely become a general.
That's the rule of their big man.
Therefore, he had a lot of fame early, and then he was called by the bus, and as soon as he entered the officialdom, he was in the limelight....
Now, with the help of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he persuaded His Majesty to relieve the scourge of the party.
At this moment, he not only has the brilliance after the famous general, but also has the good reputation of lifting the party, and he is really a man who is admired by the world.
Let's be honest .... Even Gongsun Zhu had to sigh silently in his heart.
This is really enviable.
It's just that this enviable guy was tightly surrounded by the yellow turban general Bocai at this time.
Looking at the Changshe City, which was directly besieged by the Changshe City with three layers and three outer floors, Gongsun Zhu and Liu Bei were both in deep thought at this time...
"With such a large army, such a siege, it may not be feasible for us to storm it... How do I get in now? ”
"The two generals don't have to worry, this matter is actually easy to handle, send them some grain and grass."
It was none other than Tian Chou, the "strategist" who had just returned from Beijing and returned to Gongsun Zhu's side.
Looking at the heavily surrounded Changshe City, as well as the countless Yellow Turban Army, these things made Gongsun Zhu and Liu Bei headaches.
In fact, it wasn't a big problem in Tian Chou's eyes, because he knew that even if this Changshe was so, it was not a real place besieged by the army.
The most important thing is that this Tian Chou said a word to Gongsun Zhu, who was a little surprised, that made him suddenly realize.
"The purpose of this Yellow Turban General Bocai is to break through the Changshe, and then defeat this imperial army that is blocking in front of him and preventing him from moving forward, not a stalemate here!
So to put it bluntly, the task of this Yellow Turban General Bocai, or what he wants to do, is to make this imperial army unable to come out of Changshe alive, and let himself rush in with the army alive.
Instead of saying not to let others walk in again ....
After all, compared to their own army, there are 2,000 more people and 2,000 fewer people in this city, it doesn't mean anything to them, does it?
What's more, the more than 2,000 people behind me are still cavalry, and the threat outside is far more difficult than inside.
Anyway, when he defeated General Zhu Jun.
Na Bocai may have already discovered this problem, this group of imperial army besieged by him, their numbers, how can they not be compared with themselves. ”
Tian Chou's words made Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhu have a sense of epiphany, and it seemed that for a moment... They're transparent!
And Tian Yu's method is also very simple.
That is just the temptation of using grain and grass to carry weight, this Yellow Turban Army, this is this problem, without grain and grass baggage, logistics supply is equivalent to nothing.
This kind of thing is the most useful, so whether it is in Youzhou or Jizhou, I wonder if this is in the current Changshe battlefield.
Grain and grass are the best bait.
When these Yellow Turban soldiers saw the grain and grass, don't say anything about the talents, even if the great sage and good teacher Zhang Jiao stood here today and said that they would not let them rob it, they would have to overthrow the great sage and good teacher directly.
Therefore, this matter is not a big deal in the final analysis, and they have done it more than once before, in fact, they have tempted those homeless people and the Yellow Turban Army with grain and grass in Youzhou before.
The effect can be said to be excellent, as for Tian Chou's grasp of this strategy.... Well, that's a problem.
However, Gongsun Zhu looked at the nearly 200,000 yellow turban thieves and laughed directly, and he was sure of it!
Why?
It's very simple, if he can do the Yellow Turban Army from 200,000 thieves and wanderers, then he is definitely expected to compete for the position of the world's number one general.
I have to say that both Zhang Mancheng of Jingzhou and Bocai of Yingchuan can command more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
And even if they use power to overwhelm people, they use it well.
This shows that their talent and ability are excellent, but it's a pity.... Now they really don't have much to survive.
In this regard, even Gongsun Zhu could only sigh, and then let Tian Chou on the side start to prepare.
Tian Chou's plan was carried out smoothly, and Guan Yu, who was beside Liu Bei, was personally responsible.
First let Guan Yu dress up in disguise, and then carry a lot of grain and baggage to show his face beside those rogues on the periphery of these Yellow Turban Thieves, and let them know this.
However, he didn't go to Changshe, but went directly to another city near this Changshe, that is, near Yanling.
After this news comes out, it will definitely attract a lot of rogues, and Guan Yu is responsible for cleaning them up.
Hide the message at the same time, but not completely.
To put it simply, after cleaning up the rogues, let a few soldiers go to the land of the Changshe with yellow scarves and pretend to be yellow turban thieves, and secretly mix in the Yellow Turban army besieging the Changshe.
Then the news was disseminated, and it was soon told to a certain Yellow Turban leader outside the long company.
is also a certain Xiaoqu commander in this Yellow Turban Army....
The rest of the matter was much simpler, and the Yellow Turbans were immediately excited when they got the news.
After that, they didn't need to do anything more, and many of the Yellow Turban Army rushed out directly.
