Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 107 Conspiracy for Revenge 1
After setting up camp here for a few days, everything is safe and sound, and Gongsun Xu is also planning how to settle accounts with the Wei family.

On this day, a soldier reported that 5000 troops appeared fifty miles away.Gongsun Xu immediately led people to check, and it turned out that Ji Ling arrived with [-] infantry.Originally, Ji Ling wanted to directly rescue Gongsun Xu, but then Gongsun Xu left again, so Ji Ling had to continue searching, taking many detours on the way.

This time, Yuan Shu paid a lot of money, and even sent out the number one general under his command. Moreover, Ji Ling is very reliable in his work. At least, he didn't waste his time on the road, and he was about to reach Gongsun Xu on the way. During the camp, Ji Ling was afraid that Gongsun Xu would blame him for not timely rescue.

However, unexpectedly, Gongsun Xu was not angry but happy. He received Ji Ling grandly. Looking at the five thousand soldiers with high fighting spirit, Gongsun Xu couldn't help asking: "These soldiers?"

Ji Ling quickly replied: "General Hussars, my lord dispatched two thousand elite soldiers from Danyang, Tao Cishi dispatched one thousand elite soldiers from Danyang, Lord Kong Rong dispatched fifteen hundred elite soldiers, and General Sun Jian dispatched five hundred elite soldiers, a total of five thousand." Soldiers.

In addition, Tao Cishi and Lord Kong Rong originally sent follow-up troops to cheer, but for some reason, these people were transferred back halfway, so now, our army has only 5000 people in total.

My lord has something to say, this time we will all obey the general Hussars, and follow the general to wipe out the traitors.General, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly. "

Gongsun Xu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, needless to say, this must be the idea of ​​Jia Xu's old fox. Now, Gongsun Xu has dragged the other four princes into the water, so that Yuan Shao will not dare to act blatantly. .

Moreover, Tao Qian and Kong Rong should have planned to send another group of people out, but they were transferred back halfway. It seems that those behind the scenes seem to have begun to operate.

Gongsun Xu looked at the five thousand elite soldiers, and sighed in his heart that Yuan Shu and these people are really good friends. Only three thousand elite soldiers from Danyang were dispatched. The renewal is not a loss to everyone.

Come here, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, kill cattle and sheep, and welcome the soldiers. We will not talk about the war today. You can drink and eat meat. My Gongsun Xu’s big camp is absolutely guaranteed to be safe, and there is enough wine and meat. Don't be restrained, after this battle, I still have a big reward. "

The five thousand soldiers became excited after hearing this, and they all shouted: "Thank you General Hussars, I am willing to serve the general..."

Ji Ling also sighed secretly in his heart that Gongsun Xu had such a big hand, money can turn ghosts around.Gongsun Xu might have to bleed a total of 7 taels all at once. Ordinary soldiers each had [-] taels, as well as the generals and generals who led the army. Ji Ling was looking forward to how many rewards Gongsun Xu would give him.

More importantly, these did not include the gifts to be given to Yuan Shu and others.

Ji Ling knew for himself that the current soldiers worked hard for a year, and their final income was deducted layer by layer. The salary they could get in the end was only 20 taels. This was still calculated in five baht. It can't meet the needs of the family to buy food. In this troubled world, only real money is king.

Moreover, except for those officers and soldiers in the army, it is generally difficult for ordinary soldiers to send money home. If you can’t eat enough, how can you have money to send home.

But Gongsun Xu won the hearts of all the soldiers at once, and Ji Ling couldn't help but praise Gongsun Xu for his strength.If it were someone else, who would have such a big hand.Moreover, Gongsun Xu is very good at grasping the key points in his work. He understands what these ordinary soldiers need, and what these soldiers need, Gongsun Xu can give, and the key is, he can give more.

In addition, Gongsun Xu even generously killed cattle and sheep.If other princes said this, Ji Ling would naturally understand that the cattle and sheep were only slaughtered for the generals who led the army, and ordinary soldiers might not even have a share of soup.But when Gongsun continued to say this, he must mean that all soldiers have a share.

In Ji Ling's view, even these elite soldiers usually eat meat once every ten days. It depends on whether their lord is generous. Few princes are as generous as Gongsun Xu. In the eyes of most princes, it can make soldiers It's good enough for them to eat enough, but it's simply impossible to want to eat meat.

Originally, these soldiers also thought that they could only get gold and silver. After all, these ordinary soldiers have never seen such a generous general as Gongsun Xu after being soldiers for so many years. They are already satisfied if they can get the white money immediately Well, as for fine wine, cattle and sheep, they never even thought about it.

However, when the snowflake-like silver was rewarded to everyone, Gongsun Xu's soldiers actually called these soldiers to help slaughter the cattle and sheep.These soldiers who hadn't eaten meat for a long time were all staring at the large pieces of meat in the pot with greedy eyes.

Many soldiers who followed Ji Ling to support Gongsun Xu all carried tools and followed behind the soldiers of the Youzhou Army to help.

A school lieutenant stepped forward to flatter him and said: "Brothers of the Youzhou Army, leave the rough work to us, General Hussars is so generous, we can't show that we don't have it at all.

I said, brothers, the Youzhou Army brothers are so righteous, shouldn't we also show that, should we let them do the rough work of slaughtering cattle and sheep?Give me a hand, let's come, let the brothers of Youzhou Army guide and guide. "

In fact, this kind of reward, even for Gongsun Xu, is an exception.Fortunately, a lot of good things were seized a few days ago, and with Zhang Fei out hunting grass valleys, Gongsun Xu can naturally be generous with the generosity of others. In any case, these soldiers are going to work for themselves, Gongsun Xu Naturally, I will not be stingy.

Zhang Fei, who was just going out to make extra money, now has another task, to plunder the grassland tribes as much as possible, cattle, sheep, horses, food, grass and luggage, all of which will be snatched back for me.

After a meal, all the soldiers ate their hands full of oil. Gongsun Xu had already ordered that there would be enough flatbread, enough broth, and everyone would have a share of beef and mutton.

Ji Ling and the other leading generals looked at the soldiers under their command with big eyes and small eyes, and they were ashamed to tell others that these evil spirits were their soldiers.

Gongsun Xu didn't make fun of everyone, he knew the hardships of being a soldier under others, and Gongsun Xu knew it himself, not to mention eating meat, I'm afraid it would be difficult to even have a full meal in a day.Serving as a soldier in this era only eats two meals a day, and there is no meal in the morning.Unless there is a big war, most soldiers are almost hungry all day long.

Only the Youzhou Army will have three meals a day, or even more.The remaining 2000 cavalrymen of the Youzhou Army watched these 5000 people work so hard to eat, and they realized how lucky they were. In this day and age, following the right lord is the right way.Look at this group of so-called elite soldiers, it seems that they haven't even eaten their fill.

Gongsun Xu invited the other generals to have a meal together. Roasted whole lamb and roasted whole ox were all placed on everyone's table, with piles of gold and silver beside them.

Everyone was stunned by this kind of treatment, even Ji Ling was no exception. Before the battle was fought, his pockets were bulging.

Gongsun Xu picked up the wine glass and said to all the generals who came to help: "Thank you for your appreciation, I, Gongsun Xu, will never treat you badly. Come, don't get drunk today, and break the enemy tomorrow. I will reward you a lot."

Everyone raised their wine glasses to pay respects to Gongsun Xu, and then, everyone ate and drank.

The next day, Gongsun Xu ordered all the soldiers to have a full meal, and then beat the drums to gather the generals to discuss the matter of attacking the Wei family.

Everyone gathered in Gongsun Xu's big tent, Gongsun Xu looked at them seriously, and then said: "The Wei family colluded with Bandit Dong, and everyone got to punish him. Whether we can defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop today depends entirely on you."

On behalf of the crowd, Ji Ling stepped forward and replied, "We will definitely live up to our mission."

Gongsun Xu nodded. He still believed in Ji Ling's character and ability.Anyway, Ji Ling is also the number one general in Huainan. Although the number of opponents is ten times that of this side, they are just a group of family soldiers. Compared with the elite here, they are far behind.

Gongsun Xu looked at Ji Ling and said: "I believe in the general's ability, but I have a few points to explain, you all listen carefully, if there is anything wrong, you can point it out on the spot, don't worry."

Everyone stared at Gongsun Xu, and Gongsun Xu continued: "I am holding up the flag of righteousness to conquer the rebels and save the common people. This time we attack the Wei family as well, in order to avoid the innocent, and to prevent villains from making trouble. Therefore, I must first make a few chapters.

First, indiscriminate killing of innocent people is not allowed, second, looting of people is not allowed, and third, rape of women is not allowed.Anyone who violates the above three rules, no matter who they are, will be executed.You and others may have objections. "

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Gongsun Xu continued: "I, Gongsun Xu, lead the army. Just one point is enough to convince the soldiers, that is, rewards and punishments are clearly defined. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have done wrong, you will be punished. I can assure you that as long as you obey orders, If you don't violate military discipline, I promise you will get a lot of rewards after you go back this time."

"I would like to obey the order of the Hussar General." Everyone immediately knelt down to accept the order.

Gongsun Xu nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Ji Ling: "General Ji Ling is the leading general. I won't ask too much about how to capture the city. General, don't worry too much. I only have one request, don't take it all at once. When the opponent's city is captured, it is best to attack for three days or even longer, and wipe out the opponent bit by bit. Do you understand?"

Ji Ling heard that there was something in Gongsun Xu's words, but Ji Ling couldn't figure out why Gongsun Xu did this. However, after Gongsun Xu said so, of course Ji Ling had to agree.After everyone led the order, Gongsun Xu and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, as if there was some conspiracy.
