Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 159 Planning to Send Troops 2
When Liu Bian said this, he was actually expressing an attitude to everyone. He wanted to tell everyone that he absolutely trusted Gongsun Xu. If everyone was still so loyal to him, then there would be conflicts with Gongsun Xu in the future. With disputes, everyone discusses and resolves them together, and don't cause any trouble.

Everyone looked at Liu Bian, and then at Gongsun Xu. Everyone knew that there was no way around it. Gongsun Xu had been loyal so far. With ability and reputation, it's no wonder Liu Bian believed in him so much.

When everyone was silent, Liu Bian went on to say: "Okay, you have nothing to do now, I have something to announce.

The last time the alliance fought against Dong Zhuo, Youzhou Mu and General Hushi made the most contributions and made the most contributions. When I first arrived in Bingzhou last time, I made Master Youzhou Mu a Taiwei, but General Hushi did not receive any rewards.

Now, taking this opportunity, I just want to announce to you that after careful consideration, and with the fact that General Hussars is about to send troops to Hetao, I have decided to confer General Hussars as a Great General. In addition, in order to reward Generals Hussars, I have decided, The territories taken by General Hussars this time are all fiefs of Generals Hussars. Do you have any opinions? "

Gongsun Xu is laughing secretly now that Liu Bian also knows this trick. Adding Gongsun Xu as a general is of little practical significance except for his good reputation. However, if Gongsun Xu becomes strong enough, he can use his own In the name of the general, he ordered the soldiers and horses of other princes. After all, the general is in charge of the soldiers and horses of the world.

Although Gongsun Zan has now been conferred the title of Taiwei, the Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not like the Qin Dynasty. The Taiwei of the Eastern Han Dynasty is a vain position with no real power. of.

As for Gongsun Xu's territory and fiefdom, that's a bit funny, they haven't been obtained yet, but the fiefdom has already been decided.

After listening to Liu Bian's enfeoffment, Gongsun Xu naturally wanted to come forward to thank him. After thanking him, Liu Bian then asked: "Aside from being enthroned, I don't know if you have any other affairs. If not, you should retire. I'm tired."

After thinking for a while, Gongsun Xu said, "Your Majesty, I have something to announce."

Liu Bian said with a smile: "General, if you have something to say in the future, just say it directly, there is no need to be so troublesome."

Gongsun Xu nodded and replied: "Since you are now a great general, you should be in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. However, I still feel the need to tell Your Majesty that the Youzhou Navy has been established for several years, but, In these years, there has been no other achievement other than training [-] sailors.

I plan to send troops to sail to sea after taking down the Loop, but there is still a shortage of talents in all aspects of the navy. Now, Liu Biao in Jingzhou has nearly 20 sailors. Moreover, Jingzhou has always been famous for its navy. I want to start from Jingzhou. Tens of thousands of boatmen will be dispatched here, and some ships will also be traded to Youzhou. However, I don't know if Lord Shepherd of Jingzhou will agree to this matter. "

I am afraid that only Gongsun Xu and his son know about the Youzhou navy. The rest of the people have never known that Youzhou can have a navy. This is the result of Gongsun Xu's concealment. The Youzhou Navy now actually has 2 regular troops, but [-] people have been sent out to sea to explore.

Gongsun Xu's original intention was to wait until the Hetao was captured before sending troops to sea to take down the Nanyang region. Over the years, Gongsun Xu has never relaxed his overseas exploration. From the failure at the beginning, until now there are reports that he has roughly explored the Nanyang region. It was a huge success.

No one knows how much effort and pressure Gongsun Xu put into sending troops to sea. Over the years, only eight of the 37 fleets sent out by Gongsun Xu returned safely, and only those returned safely. It didn't bring much good news.

Fortunately, recently, news came from Gan Ning that the exact location of the Nanyang region has been discovered, and they are now doing their best to explore, and it is expected to start sending troops in half a year.However, once Nanyang is occupied, there will definitely be fewer naval forces, especially for the mainland.This is also the main reason why Gongsun Xu brought up this matter now.

Although Liu Bian didn't know about the Youzhou Navy, even though he didn't know much about the Navy, as long as it was proposed by Gongsun Xu, Liu Bian would not object, because he had no reason to object to Gongsun Xu's decision .

Seeing that everyone was discussing without knowing why, Liu Bian immediately said: "The general has the right to mobilize the world's soldiers and horses. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao is a relative of the emperor. I will issue an imperial edict to him. If Jingzhou Mu still recognizes me as the emperor, He will definitely do it according to the imperial decree.

By the way, General, you have said two things now, if there is anything else, just say it together. "

Gongsun Xu listened and said with a smile: "There is one last thing. In order to gain the support of the heroes of the world, and to expand your majesty's influence and appeal, I would like to hold a martial arts competition in Bingzhou now before sending troops to call on the heroes of the world. Come to northern Xinjiang to jointly resist the Huns, what does your majesty think?"

Liu Bian said excitedly after hearing this: "Not bad, not bad, I like the Martial Arts Competition, in that case, the heroes of the world will gather in the northern border, General."

Hearing Liu Bian's curiosity like a child, Gongsun Xu could only smile and said, "I don't know how many heroes in the world can come, but this will definitely increase the appeal of our army. If Your Majesty agrees, I will start preparing immediately."

Liu Bian nodded and said: "Okay, okay, you are fully responsible for this matter, I can rest assured that you are here."

Only then did Gongsun Xu thank the gift and retreat to the side, no one was talking about anything, after a while, the morning court was over, and everyone dispersed.

As soon as they left Liu Bian's mansion, Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Zan walked up to Lu Zhi. Lu Zhi was discussing with Huangfu Song, and Gongsun Xu and Gongsun Zan stepped forward and saluted, "I have seen my mentor, I have seen Lord Huangfu."

Huangfusong shook his hand and said, "You two are too polite, how can I, Huangfusong, bear it?"

Lu Zhi also smiled and said: "Okay. You father and son are very polite. Continuation, since you have decided to go north to the Hetao, you have to be careful in everything. I have not completely conquered the Xiongnu for hundreds of years. Are you sure?" I know how powerful the Huns are.

These years, my big man has not formed a large number of cavalry. Frontier places like Youzhou and Bingzhou can only let these alien races run rampant. You have already shocked Xianbei in your youth. Now, it is you who conquer the Southern Huns. Why? The teacher is looking forward to your good news.

As a teacher, I am old, and there are not many years to live. Haha, you father and son have fulfilled my childhood wish. When I was a teacher, I always wanted to lead my big man cavalry to conquer foreign races and bless my big man. It’s a pity, until now, As a teacher, I have not yet achieved such a wish.

However, both of you, father and son, did not embarrass me. One became the white horse general who frightened the grassland people, and the other became the hussars general Huo Qubing in the eyes of the grassland people. He is very proud of being a teacher, hehehe. "

Gongsun Zan was also very happy when he heard Lu Zhi praise himself in this way. After all, Lu Zhi is a contemporary master, and he will not praise anyone easily.

Looking at the aging Lu Zhi, Gongsun Zan said with a smile: "If my mentor likes it, within two years, when the court affairs are arranged, I will accompany my mentor to lead the troops to Megatron Northern Xinjiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Wuhuan, these alien races , are waiting for the mentor to conquer."

Huangfusong laughed and said, "Hehehe, Mrs. Lu is so lucky to have taught such two good apprentices. It's a pity that my two nephews haven't made a name for themselves yet."

When Gongsun Xu heard this, he naturally understood that this was Huangfusong's hint to himself. The nephews Huangfusong spoke of naturally referred to Huangfu Li and Huangfu Jianshou. These two were Gongsun Xu's good friends back then, and their military talents were not low. It's just that the two have never made a name for themselves.

If you really want to talk about it, these two people are indeed rare talents. They grew up in aristocratic families and were taught by masters like Huangfusong. It can be said that these two people have received systematic military education since they were young. , plus these years of training in the army, they are indeed rare generals.

More importantly, these two are young people, unlike Huang Fusong who is already too old, let alone stubborn. Such talents are what Gongsun Xu needs most. Gongsun Xu vaguely remembers that Dong Zhuo When he entered Beijing, Huangfusong led a large army out, and Huangfu Li suggested that he support his troops and stand on his own, so that at least he could save his life.

However, Huangfusong refused on the grounds that the emperor's fate was difficult, and finally succumbed to Dong Zhuo, handing over the military power of the tens of thousands of troops in his hand, which almost caused him to be murdered by Dong Zhuo.

From this incident, it can be seen that Huangfu Li really has a military vision, and, to a certain extent, he also has a bit of political savvy. Gongsun Xu could also mention Dian Wei and Zhang Jaw to bring them out. .

Now, Huangfusong actually proposed these two people in front of Gongsun Xu, and Gongsun Xu naturally would not let go of the opportunity.

Therefore, Gongsun continued with a smile and said: "I haven't seen my two elder brothers for a long time. This time I sent troops to Hetao, and there are not enough generals in the army. I intend to let my two elder brothers serve in the army. I don't know if Master Huangfu will object."

Huangfusong said happily after hearing this: "Since this is the case, well, I will go and talk to them, and let them go to work for you tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Huangfusong smiled at Lu Zhi: "Master Taifu, this time, I'm in your favor."

Lu Zhi laughed and said: "You are so old, you still like this, hehe, it seems that you have figured out some things.

Okay, Xuer, you can go and do your work, as long as your father is with me, there must be a lot of things waiting for you to be busy in the army, so you don't have to accompany me. "

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu bowed and said, "The child will go first."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu went straight to Daying. He really had a lot of things to do.
