Chapter 408: The Strong Army of the East
Before the Goguryeo soldiers could react, some soldiers rushed in like tigers and wolves, knocked them down one by one, and put them on the ground. , and some even incited the Dongyi people around them. The Han army wanted to execute them all and wanted their help.

It's a pity that they are surrounded by Dongyi people. Even though these Dongyi people are afraid to die, they still have no idea of ​​resisting or uniting to make trouble. They all squat on the ground, with panic and despair in their eyes. The Goguryeo people cursed in their hearts, why are you tens of thousands of people so cowardly? After Lu Bu captured them one by one, he smiled coldly.

"You don't need to make excuses. The envoy just now has already served my big man in secret. I already know your true identity!"

Hearing what he said, these Goguryeo talents fell silent, and began to curse again. They only wanted to die, and they didn't want to endure humiliation. After hearing their appearance, Lu Bu knew that they had not arrested the wrong person, so he ordered them to be quickly examined and asked to find them out. As for the other Dongyi people, they couldn't let go of their guard, and gave them food and let them rest in the camp.

There are probably hundreds of these Goguryeo people, and the number is indeed quite a lot. However, they can be reused by the Goguryeo king, which means that they are not wine bags and rice bags. Most of them are soldiers who have gone through many battles. Keep silent, even if they are executed, they can't get words out of their mouths.

Hundreds of people, no matter what, none of them opened their mouths. Instead, they cursed until death.

Even though they were enemies, Huangfusong and the others respected them. If Goguryeo had soldiers like this at all, the war would be troublesome. However, Lu Bu had experience in fighting against them. He knew that these soldiers were all The elite of Goguryeo, their ordinary soldiers, absolutely did not have such courage. In the end, Zhang Wen ordered them to be buried.

Their perseverance won the appreciation of Zhang Wen and others, even though they were enemies with themselves.

In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Wen ordered the soldiers of the Han army everywhere to prepare to avoid a sudden attack. Under his order, the Han army everywhere immediately made preparations, and Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong also returned to their respective places first. In terms of key points, only Lu Bu was left behind and did not return. This is because the road from Goguryeo to Dongli was covered with heavy snow in the cold winter.

If the Goguryeo people attacked from here, it would be suicide.

Therefore, Lu Bu stayed by Zhang Wen's side and waited for dispatch. Sure enough, as Zhang Wen thought, at night, the scouts of the Han army found a large number of cavalry gathered outside the belt. Zhang Wen did not want to lead the war into Youzhou. In the territory, the soldiers were directly ordered to launch an offensive. The King of Goguryeo went into battle in person. He was originally waiting for the agreed time to launch an attack, but unexpectedly, they were suddenly attacked by the Han army.

Suddenly, a scuffle broke out. King Goguryeo knew in his heart that the plan failed, and he was not depressed. He wanted to flee immediately, but was bitten by the Han army. Lu Bu led the cavalry to chase and kill, forcing King Goguryeo. After leaving behind an elite group, he led the rest of the soldiers to flee the battlefield at high speed. On the frontal battlefield, they were no match for the Han army.

Just a fight, Goguryeo suffered heavy casualties and paid the price of thousands of people.

This made the King of Goguryeo understand that he could not face the Han army head-on. However, Zhang Wen and Zhang Taiwei were obviously more difficult than he thought. While the two sides were fighting, Zhang Wen ordered Dong Zhuo and Huang Fusong to fight at the same time. To attack, it is necessary to continuously narrow their living range, take advantage of the emptiness behind them, and take more important military sites.

In addition, he sent envoys to ask Fuyu to cut off Goguryeo's way of life from behind.

Dong Zhuo started from Sanhan, Huangfusong set off from Xinqin, the two armies were like a broken bamboo, and they only suffered a few small-scale battles before and after, and obtained a large area of ​​​​military areas. According to the order of the Taiwei, the two armies joined forces The Moran City with Goguryeo completely cut Goguryeo from the middle and cut it into two parts, so that the north and the south lost contact.

However, the King of Goguryeo was trapped in this huge encirclement. Dong Zhuo, Huangfusong, and Zhang Wen surrounded the King of Goguryeo. After that, Zhang Wen was not in a hurry to order another attack. He guarded these important places with Huangfusong's troops, and he couldn't let the King of Goguryeo go. After losing contact with the royal city and supplies in the north, he didn't believe that King Goguryeo's army could support it for too long!
Surrounded by the enemy in his own territory, this is something that the King of Goguryeo did not expect. Zhang Wen always pays attention to the overall situation when fighting. Extremely flexible, he didn't pay much attention to small battles. After holding back the King of Goguryeo, he quickly used Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong to limit Goguryeo to the southern region.

Under Dong Zhuo and Huangfusong's hurried march, King Goguryeo didn't even realize that he was surrounded. When he lost contact with the royal city, it was already too late. He could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests by virtue of his familiarity with the terrain. I hope to change the situation through victories in some small battles in these places, but unfortunately, Zhang Wen does not give him this opportunity at all.

First, he was trapped for half a month, and then he calmly began to compress the entire encirclement, approaching step by step, shrinking bit by bit, which made King Goguryeo a little desperate, and he also launched several times to break through. But he couldn't break through the siege of the Han army at all, and the encirclement circle of the Han army was getting smaller and smaller. Even if he could hide again, one day, he would encounter the encirclement attack of these three armies.

After being pressed by the Han army, King Goguryeo thought for a long time, and finally made a decision. He broke up the entire [-] army and fled from the encirclement of the Han army. Previously, he expected that the Han army would not withdraw. So he moved the royal city to the relatively safe north, far away from the south where the battle was fought, and hoarded a large amount of military supplies, preparing to use the terrain for a long-term battle with the Han army.

But he didn't expect that he would end up like this now. He also had great courage, and directly caused the soldiers to disperse and start fleeing.

Under such circumstances, the situation is somewhat unfavorable for the Han army, because there are many mountains in Goguryeo, and when the Han army narrows the encirclement, it is impossible not to leave a gap for one or two people to pass through, and the idle soldiers of Goguryeo are mixed in the local area Among the people, they kept fleeing from these gaps. After several people were captured, Dong Zhuo and others suddenly realized that they no longer forced the encirclement, but strengthened the encirclement.

However, it is a pity that they woke up a bit late. They did not expect that the enemy chieftain would have such courage to disband the army directly and seek a breakout from everywhere. After being captured, Zhang Wen felt a little helpless about it. After all, they were not locals. After thinking for a long time, he realized that he had to make good use of those Dongyi people!
"Fengxian, if I want to use the Dongya people group as the army, I will use you as the captain"

Lu Bu shook his head in horror, and said, "I'm good at cavalry, so I'm afraid I won't be able to lead it."

"Fengxian, even if the Dongyi people can't fight, they are very familiar with the terrain. As long as they can find out the positions and routes of the fleeing Goguryeo soldiers, they can report to the Han army. You are the most brave and unparalleled strategy."

If Zhang Wen praised Lu Bu like this on weekdays, Lu Bu would definitely agree. Even if Zhang Wen asked him to kill the King of Goguryeo alone, he would not back down, but at this moment, he really didn't want to lead an army of Dongyi people. , even if you give yourself some of the Huns cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command?He thought for a long time, and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, Bu has something to say, please listen carefully."

"I don't know Dongyi's language, and generals and soldiers can't communicate. It's a big taboo for military strategists. I'm brave, and Dongyi is cowardly. If you take me as a general, I'm afraid it will be difficult to lead. I don't want to take the crime of killing soldiers without authorization, but , I have a person here that can be used by the public!"

"Who is it?" Zhang Wen asked with some doubts.

"This man is from Youzhou. He once lived with Cao Cao in Sanhan for a long time, and he was appointed to be with Dongyan. He is familiar with Dongyan's language. He is brave and hard-working. He is good at riding and shooting. His name is Gongsun Zan, and his name is Bogui! Cao Cao went to Luoyang far away. , this person will serve as a Marquis under my account! If I recommend this person, he will definitely be a school lieutenant!" Lu Bu swore.

When Lu Bu said this, Zhang Wen was also a little curious, and said with a smile: "Then bring him here."

Not long after, a burly man with a long beard and beard walked into the tent and bowed to Zhang Wen. He didn't know why the captain wanted to meet him, but he was full of doubts and a little excited. Ah, he is in charge of the whole country's military, and he is just a small military marquis. Seeing Lu Bu's meaningful appearance just now, could it be that the Taiwei discovered his talent?

Or did the emperor tell the Taiwei?
When he was going to Luoyang now, he met the current emperor who was still the prince.

Zhang Wen looked the young man in front of him up and down, and said with a smile, "You are Gongsun Zan?"

"Exactly!"

"Okay" Zhang Wen was very satisfied with his appearance, he looked like a general, which is very good, and he said, "If I take you as the captain, how will you treat me?"

Hearing Zhang Wen's question, Gongsun Zan raised his head abruptly, his whole body trembling with excitement, and said, "Death will definitely work!!"

"Hahaha, do you know Dongyi language?"

"Know!"

"Okay, I will build a new battalion under the name of Huangfusong's garrison. It will be the Xiaoyong Battalion. You will be the Xiaoyong Captain. You can obtain military supplies from Tao Qian, and I will order Lu Bu to take you to check the new army later!"

"Thank you, Captain!!"

Gongsun Zan said excitedly that his chance to make contributions has finally come. He is a man who is proud and wants to be strong. Since the Taiwei trusts him so much, he must train a brave and strong army to make the enemy fearful. After thanking Zhang Wen repeatedly, he left the camp. Zhang Wen notified the governor Tao Qian to give him the equipment for 3000 armed men.

Gongsun Zan went to Huangfusong's place again and received the military order. In the future, he would be the school lieutenant under Huangfusong's command.

After dealing with many things, he wanted to meet his soldiers, but Lu Bu stopped him, saying that the new army was still under armed force, and reminded him that military orders are like mountains and should not be violated, Lu Bu said, Gongsun Zan was suddenly puzzled, and remembered that Zhang Wen had asked him if he knew Dongyi language. He frowned and thought, maybe he wanted to lead his own army to fight against the Dongyi people in Goguryeo?

The more he thought about it, the lower he became. He knew the character of the Dongyi people. If he let himself attack the Dongyi people, it would be a humiliation to himself.

Three days later, Lu Bu ordered him to take over the new army.

Gongsun Zan came to the school field proudly, still very excited. This was the first time he commanded soldiers by himself, brave battalion, he smiled, walked into the tent, walked to the general platform, looked down, and saw the soldiers below His head was completely lowered, his expression was fearful, and he didn't dare to raise his head. This appearance made Gongsun Zan also stunned. Can these be considered military?
The military marquis on the side said: "Lieutenant Gongsun, are these Dongyi people sent by Goguryeo or are they braver among them?"

Gongsun Zan almost spurted blood, an army composed of Dongyi people?And give it the name Bravery Battalion? ? ?

He was about to run away on the spot, left the school grounds, went to find Zhang Wen, walked a few steps, but stopped again, Lu Bu said, the military order is like a mountain, the Taiwei entrusted this army to himself, did he just trust himself and be able to handle it? How about they lead a strong army?

Gongsun Zan thought to himself, and returned to the general platform, frowning, staring at the soldiers below.

The people of Dongyi are not good at fighting. It’s not that they are not good at fighting. It’s because they never fight. The terrain of Dongyi was originally not bordered by the surrounding area. They have abundant supplies here, such as fish, shrimp, fruit, and salt. They don’t have to worry about food. They don't worry about drinking, and have never fought outside, so they have developed such a temperament, and no one dared to imagine that they were formed into an army.

However, Gongsun Zan believed in his heart that there is absolutely no army with poor drills in this world!

As long as they strengthen their training and let them recall their courage, they will definitely become a strong army of the big man in the future, and they can be worthy of this heroic banner!

If I can turn these cowardly Dongyi people into a strong army, I will definitely become famous in the world in the future. Think about it, if I can train Dongyi people into a strong army, what else can't be trained to become a strong army?Gongsun Zan frowned, thinking in his heart, in the future, he would give each of them a white horse to form a strong army and make the enemy fearful!
After he made up his mind, he looked at these Dongyi people coldly and shouted:
"I am your captain! Gongsun Zan!"

"In the future, you will be my soldiers, soldiers of the Great Han!"

Hearing Gongsun Zan speak the Dongyi dialect, these Dongyi people were a little surprised. They raised their heads and looked at Gongsun Zan.

"I know that everyone looks down on you and thinks Dong Yan is a coward, but I, Gongsun Zan, don't think so!"

"You are also human beings, you have families, and you have children. How can you forget the hatred between Goguryeo and you?"

"I will train you strictly, and let the world see that Dongyi people also have warriors! You are not cowards!!"

"If someone thinks that he can't stand this kind of training, and admits that he is a coward, he will throw away the spear in his hand! Leave the barracks now!!!"

Gongsun Zan roared angrily.

"Wow~~~" the Dongyi people happily threw away the spear in their hands, and ran away, leaving no one behind.

The Marquis beside Gongsun Zan was taken aback and shouted:
"Come on, Captain Gongsun has passed out!!!"
