Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 160 Annoying Things 1
When Gongsun Xu came to the barracks, several generals and several important advisers in the army were discussing the matter of sending troops to Hetao.They were all waiting for Gongsun Xu to finalize the final plan, but Gao Shun had been waiting for orders in Bingzhou.

There has always been Gongsun Xu's big tent in the camp. After coming to Youzhou, Gongsun Xu has been living in the army since he met his mother and wife.

At this time, in Gongsun Xu's big tent, there will be Huang Zuan, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and counselors will include Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Xu Shu.They were deducing the possibility of a war around a large sand table, and everyone gathered together to discuss the best way to attack.

After Gongsun Xu arrived, he walked directly into the big tent, and everyone saluted Gongsun Xu one by one. Gongsun Xu walked to the sand table and picked up a small flag representing his side and said, "How are you discussing? Can you come up with any good marching ideas?" Have a plan?"

Guo Jia was the first to speak and said: "Because I don't know the specific distribution of the Southern Huns' troops in the Hetao area, I am afraid that the specific plan will have to wait until the information comes. However, the general plan is already in place."

Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "Well, the intelligence problem will be resolved soon, let's talk about your plan first."

Guo Jia pointed to the sand table and said: "This time, the main task of our army is to take down the Hetao, not to fight to the death with the Huns. Therefore, if possible, we should focus on expulsion. If we are determined to fight and consume If there is a war, I am afraid that the counterattack of the Huns will cause us a lot of trouble.

The Southern Huns have relied on Hetao to support their tribe for so many years, so they will definitely try their best to resist our attack.However, on the other hand, as long as we take down the Hetao, the habitat of the Southern Huns will be gone, and within ten years, the Southern Huns will decline, and by that time, we will be able to defeat others without fighting.

In this expedition, our army dispatched 13 elite cavalry. This is the main force to fight against the enemy. They went to the grassland in two batches. As for the 2000 new recruits, we think it is necessary to train for another three months to bring them On the battlefield, their task is to assist the previous troops to garrison the occupied territory, and when necessary, they also have to directly engage the enemy. "

Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "It's roughly the same as what I thought. Besides, Yuan Zhi, how is your plan going? In this expedition, Zhengfang and I are fighting the enemy head-on. Other things , I leave it to you, and the key to victory or defeat also lies with you."

After hearing this, Xu Shu saluted and said, "Thanks to my lord's trust, General Yan Liang has dispatched [-] elite cavalry from the Xianbei camp according to my lord's orders, all of which are equipped with three cavalry per person. As for the rest of the cattle, sheep, salt and other military The supplies are all ready, but their marching distance is too far, but once they set off, they may lose contact in a short time.

Tomorrow I will rush to the Xianbei camp to join the army, and the specific plan is similar to what the master told me.I'm afraid there will be no news from us in the next two months. "

Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "Hehe, Yuanzhi, you have the most experience in this kind of thing. This time, it depends on you. This long-distance raid, you have the right to fight independently. By the way, I heard that Yan Liang Put the newly trained Haidongqing in the army, and there are two hundred snow ghosts. In this way, your chances of victory will be even greater. At least, you will not get lost, plus the map I drew for you , It’s not difficult at all to get to the designated location.”

After hearing this, Xu Shu could only laugh and said: "Hehe, Haidongqing is the best way to inquire about the enemy's situation. This has been tested in actual combat. Snow ghosts are suitable for fighting in cold winters. Even in severe winters, snow ghosts can survive in the wild. Yes, General Yan Liang has made sufficient preparations for this raid. By the way, my lord, the list of generals for this raid has been confirmed.

The main generals are General Wen Chou and General Tai Shici. In addition, there are Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and others. They all have certain experience and are the most suitable candidates.General Yan Liang couldn't leave because he wanted to support the overall situation in the eastern part of Xianbei. The Xianbei camp still needs a strong general to guard it. "

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu nodded in satisfaction and said: "Let's be specific. You are the commander of this raid. You have the right to kill first and then play. Everything is up to you. You have to start more than a month earlier than us, and I'm afraid you will arrive later. Two months, this time, you will adopt the method of migration and grazing to march, and the general offensive will not be launched if you don't arrive, we will wait for you in Hetao."

The rest of the people cast respectful glances at Xu Shu, because Xu Shu was going to complete a task that would determine the entire battle situation, and Xu Shu had already completed such a task.Therefore, people like Xu Shu are worthy of respect.

After talking about this matter, Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Before going out, I will hold a martial arts competition in Bingzhou. We will hold the martial arts competition first, and then march .

Yide, I'm afraid you're going to show off your skills this time, hehe, I hope this time you can recruit a lot of talents for our army. After all, we haven't held a martial arts competition like this for two years, so I'm really looking forward to it. "

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Haha, this time, I'm going to meet the heroes of the world, hehe."

Seeing Zhang Fei so excited, everyone also found it funny. Zhang Fei always showed a carefree and rough look. In fact, everyone present knew that this kid was purely pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. types.

Zhang Fei is aggressive, but he is better at using his brain and has many tricks. If anyone is deceived by Zhang Fei's appearance, it will definitely be in bad luck.

After everyone deduced together around the sand table for nearly half an hour, Xu Shu retired first, and he had to rush back to the eastern part of Xianbei. This time, the generals from the eastern part of Xianbei had no way to participate in this martial arts competition. After all, their mission is more important.

The next day, when Gongsun Xu was inspecting the combat effectiveness of the guards in the army, a messenger rushed to say that Mr. Lu Zhi was invited.

Gongsun Xu naturally didn't dare to neglect his teacher's invitation. He immediately rushed to his home after handing over the matter at hand to Zhao Yun. During this time, Lu Zhi had been staying at Gongsun Zan's home, so Gongsun Xu wanted to find his own Teacher, I have to go home and look for it.

After Gongsun Xu got home, he found out that several ministers from the court had almost arrived. Could it be that there is something important to announce today?

Gongsun Xu sat next to his father, Lu Zhi saw that it was almost time for people to come, so he couldn't choose: "I invite you to come today to discuss something with you. We have already chosen the day of your majesty's enthronement, because the sooner your majesty ascends the throne The better, so, after discussing with Taifu Cai, I decided to set it in seven days, do you have any ideas?"

Only now did Gongsun Xu realize that his father-in-law, Mr. Cai Yong, whom he had never seen in person, was here today. Isn't it just a matter of setting a date?

However, no one cares about Gongsun Xu's feelings now. On the contrary, everyone thinks that this is a big deal. After Cai Yong stood up and spoke eloquently for half an hour, the matter was finally finalized.

Gongsun Xu naturally did not object. Once Liu Bian's ascension to the throne was confirmed, he would be able to free up his hands to do his own business. Now it is just a few days, and the army assembled in Youzhou is almost ready for training. When it arrives, it's time for the army to set off.

After everyone discussed it, there was nothing else to do. Gongsun Xu wanted to rush back to the military camp immediately to take care of his own affairs, but was stopped by his father. It turned out that Gongsun Xu had been busy with military affairs since he came back. Get together well at home, which of course will cause great dissatisfaction with Gongsun Xu's mother and wife.

No way, even his own father said so, Gongsun Xu had no choice but to stay.The one left behind by Gongsun Zan was Cai Yong, a great calligrapher.

At noon, when everyone gathered around a table to eat, Cai Yong suddenly asked, "I said, Xuer, you are too old, how can you be so unreliable in doing things? Look at how you usually march. Fighting a war and commanding thousands of troops is really a calm and composed person, why do people feel uneasy when it comes to their own affairs."

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu was full of doubts, where did he start from.

Seeing Cai Yong staring at him with such eyes, Gongsun Xu was about to ask a question, but he heard Lu Zhi also say: "Yes, Xu'er, your expedition to the Hetao this time, plus the arrangements for the migration of refugees in the later period, I'm afraid there is no one." It won't stop for half a year, even if things are arranged, I'm afraid you will stay in Bingzhou for a while, and there are some things that should be done now."

Even Lu Zhi said that, it must not be a trivial matter, but Gongsun Xu may have been really dizzy, and he still hasn't realized what's going on until now.

He had no choice but to turn his attention to Gongsun Zan for help. At this time, Gongsun Zan also said: "Princess Wannian is not too young, and Cai Taifu's daughter has also reached the age of marriage. After your majesty ascends the throne, should you ask your majesty?" Please, let His Majesty bestow a marriage."

Speaking of which, Gongsun Xu finally understood that Princess Wannian and Cai Yan had already been arranged in Youzhou. Last time, Gongsun Xu almost lost his life in order to rescue Cai Yan. He can't delay any longer, he can't delay the youth of these two girls.

If this matter is not resolved now, I am afraid it will have to be delayed for another year. After all, Gongsun Xu has too many things to do now, so after discussing with Lu Zhi, Cai Yong and Lu Zhi decided to resolve this matter before Gongsun Xu went to the expedition, otherwise , It's not okay to keep the two girls waiting.

Gongsun Xu also smirked when he heard this: "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders. I don't have any opinions. You can decide. There are still things in our army, so I will resign first. I will notify you later when this matter is decided." Let me say, hehe, I will take my leave first, and I will come back after I have dealt with the affairs in the military."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu ran away without waiting for Lu Zhi and the others to speak. There was no other way. This matter is really not for Gongsun Xu to participate in. It can only be decided by these adults, otherwise, they will definitely not Let it go.
