Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 162
Liu Bian's ascension to the throne went smoothly. Among the princes in the world, except for Dong Zhuo who didn't say anything, the other princes more or less expressed their congratulations. Both Jingzhou Mu and Yizhou Mu expressed their willingness to obey orders. Dear, you must clearly express your feelings, otherwise, Gongsun Xuke will have an excuse to do something to them.

The first thing Liu Bian did after ascending the throne was to arrange for Gongsun Xu to get married. This event has shaken northern Xinjiang. Now, everyone in the world knows that Gongsun Xu has been named a general. This position is already the pinnacle of Gongsun Xu's power. Few people are spreading rumors that if Gongsun Xu does more meritorious service, he may have to be crowned king.

For Gongsun Xu, it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing, but almost everyone in the court agrees that Gongsun Xu can be named a general.Lu Zhi was actually very opposed to it, he seemed to smell something unusual, but he had nothing against it.

As long as Gongsun Xu is capable enough, he can command the world's soldiers and horses. Although the princes of the world support their own soldiers, Gongsun Xu's military power is even more dominant. This is the capital for him to command the world's soldiers and horses.

Yuan Shu in Huainan, Cao Cao in Chenliu, Kong Rong in Beihai, Tao Qian in Xuzhou and other local forces all sent congratulatory gifts one after another. Gongsun Xu married the princess of the Han Dynasty and the daughter of a contemporary calligrapher. Respected generation.

Since Gongsun Xu had released the news a long time ago that a martial arts competition would be held, those who came to Northern Xinjiang along with the congratulatory gifts of the various princes, and representatives sent by the princes wanted to see the true strength of Northern Xinjiang.

For example, Sun Jian, who has safely returned to Jiangdong, immediately prepared a large number of precious gifts after learning about Gongsun Xu, and then sent his eldest son, Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's brother-in-law, Zhou Yu, to northern Xinjiang to congratulate them. , experience experience.

The relationship between Yuan Shu and Gongsun Xu is relatively good. Gongsun Xu has made such a big commotion, of course he has to express that Ji Ling has brought Yuan Shu's congratulatory gift and is about to arrive in Bingzhou. At the same time, Ji Ling also brought Yuan Shu's order. Trade horses with Gongsun Xu and go back.

Other powerful princes, such as Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, etc., all sent representatives to Northern Xinjiang with gifts. At the same time, they also shouldered different missions. Most of them wanted to find out the real strength of Northern Xinjiang. , also wanted to trade as many horses as possible with Gongsun Xu.

Soon, Gongsun Xu's wedding was held as scheduled, and the people in northern Xinjiang decorated their homes with lanterns and festoons to express their congratulations. In Youzhou, Liaodong and other places far away from the Central Plains, what all the people think about in their hearts is not the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It was Gongsun Xu, the major general of Youzhou, and it was because of Gongsun Xu that they could live today.

At the wedding, except for the uncles and brothers of Gongsun Xu's family and the generals in the army, most of them were representatives sent by the princes. Sun Ce, as Gongsun Xu's righteous brother, of course must show up.

Gongsun Xu was fighting wine with Zhang Feidianwei and others, and Sun Ce rushed forward and shouted: "Brother is drinking here, how can I be missing, I will come too, and after speaking, he joined the ranks of the wine competition, representatives of other princes But no one can be as presumptuous as Sun Ce, this is Youzhou, the territory of Gongsun Xu, if they dare to be careless, I am afraid they will not be able to complete the mission on their shoulders."

As for those civil servants and military advisers, such as Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, etc., they were not very excited. On the contrary, they were sitting quietly on the table drinking wine while observing the representatives sent by the princes.

This is their mission. They will have to deal with these people in the next month or two. Whether they can get some information or benefits from these people depends on whether they can clearly see the purpose of these representatives.

Three days later, the upsurge of the wedding finally calmed down. The representatives of the princes had been arranged to Bingzhou to watch or participate in the martial arts competition. As for the missions of those representatives, they had to be in Bingzhou together. Of course, Gongsun Xu understood What is the purpose of their coming? Most of them come to trade war horses and form alliances.

After settling the matter in Youzhou, Gongsun Xu was still about to set off. The [-] heavy armored cavalry had already set off first. Gongsunxu's personal guards are waiting for Gongsunxu.

Gongsun Xu was about to set off, so Liu Bian naturally wanted to see him off. Looking at Gongsun Xu's heroic appearance in armor and holding a long spear, Liu Bian couldn't help sighing: "What a young general, I have such a great general. , How can you be afraid of those rebels?

Brother, sending troops to Hetao this time is related to my life and death. I believe you can handle these things well, but I hope you can remember that in Youzhou, at home, there are many relatives waiting for you. You must be safe return. "

After hearing this, Gongsun Xu bowed his hands and said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, within half a year, I will definitely have good news. Take care, Your Majesty, I'm leaving."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu got on his horse and walked towards the city gate. The rest of the generals and guards also immediately mobilized their horses to surround Gongsun Xu. .

I have to admit that the current Gongsun Xu is indeed extraordinary in martial arts. On the left and right of him are Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, two godlike generals, with a domineering aura. Behind him is the huge Dian Wei. The imposing manner did not dare to be looked directly at, and the two tiger generals, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, opened the way in front, one was arrogant and the other was brave, and people couldn't help admiring it.

As for the two young generals Huang Xu and Dianman, they are following Dian Wei at this time, even if they are these two young generals, people can't help but praise: "There are so many talents in Youzhou."

Naturally, the big moves in Youzhou did not escape the eyes of the dark lines arranged by the princes of the world. They quickly spread the news to their respective masters. Said that Bingzhou has been unable to participate in the snatching of the interests of the Central Plains for more than half a year.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other ambitious princes are already secretly preparing. As for Dong Zhuo, the big devil, he is not idle either. Now he is planning to take back the Xiliang area, and then build a stable rear to help him seize world.

However, if they want to make a move, they all need an opportunity, or in other words, they all need Youzhou and Bingzhou not to participate in their plan, otherwise, no matter where Gongsun Xu intervenes, they will not get much reward. Benefit.

The good news is that Gongsun Xu is finally about to leave. As long as the martial arts competition is over, Gongsun Xu will definitely lead his army to set off, and the Central Plains will definitely usher in a big reshuffle.

It's not that Gongsun Xu can't count these things, but the biggest problem before him is how to resettle the refugees. Coupled with the problem of later development, the Northern Expedition to Hetao is already imperative and cannot be delayed, otherwise, Gongsun Xu will not Let go of such a good opportunity.

All the facilities for the Martial Arts Competition in Bingzhou are almost ready. Fortunately, there are so many refugees here, which directly solves the problem of manpower. Anyone who responds to the government's call to participate in the work can receive a day's food. Relief from work is indeed a good way, at least it will not cause chaos among the refugees.

Due to the large number of refugees, except for some who were used to build the hardware facilities for the martial arts competition, the rest were either arranged to dig wasteland or to build roads.

After all, this Northern Expedition to Hetao is going to dispatch an army of 10,000+. In this way, the logistics pressure of the army must be quite high. This is not the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and there were not so many civilians to call on.

At the beginning, in order to support Wei Qinghuo Qubing in the Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty almost recruited hundreds of thousands of civilian husbands, reaching the ratio of five civilian husbands to support one soldier. Gongsun Xu asked himself that he could not do this, otherwise, let alone the Northern Expedition, Just the recruitment of civilian husbands is enough to give Gongsun Xu a headache.

As long as the road leading to Hetao can be repaired, it will not be a big problem to transport the military rations. At the same time, the refugees will also complete the migration in batches, which can be said to be multiple in one fell swoop.

The arrangements for the martial arts competition are almost done. After Gongsun Xu arrived in Bingzhou, Guo Jia reported to him the progress of the martial arts performance. As early as ten days ago, the group arena competitions at various locations had already started. Gongsun Xu came to watch. It's just the final.

This group arena is a competition between brave soldiers in the army. As for the folk masters, there is another group arena. The representatives sent by the princes have the invitation letter sent by Gongsun Xu, so they don't need to participate in this kind of arena. This is why these representatives can go to Youzhou to participate in Gongsun Xu's wedding without worrying about the martial arts competition.

Now, the competition between lieutenant officers and soldiers has entered the final stage, which will be held the day after tomorrow, and the corresponding rewards will also be announced.

The top ten will be promoted to three ranks, and the top three will be rewarded with BMW horses and corresponding gold and silver. At the same time, they will also have the opportunity to challenge the recognized top ten masters in northern Xinjiang.

The top ten masters in Northern Xinjiang are the rankings recognized by the military and the people. They are the real masters in Northern Xinjiang. Which ten of these ten people are they?

No.1 is the brave general Huang Zhong, with a phoenix-tailed sword that is superb, and his archery skills are unmatched, and he is a well-deserved number one.

No.2 has fluctuated a bit in the past three months. It used to be Dian Wei, but in recent months, Zhao Yun's reputation has become more and more famous. He has replaced Dian Wei as the second. Zhao Zilong, the white horse and silver gun, is just this image. Dian Wei is not comparable.

No.3 is Dian Wei, who came from the ancient evil. Dian Wei is extremely powerful, and he is good at using double iron halberds. The two halberds add up to a weight of [-] catties. The unique skill of the short halberd's hidden weapon is enough to ensure that Dian Wei ranks in the top three.

No.4 is Yan Liang for the time being, not only because of his martial arts, but more importantly because Yan Liang has been leading the troops outside to protect the safety of the eastern part of Xianbei, which is mixed with factors such as the ability to command the troops.

No.5 is also controversial, but it is Wen Chou for the time being. Wen Chou's martial arts are comparable to Yan Liang's. Huang Zhong also had to be wary of three points against him.

These five people are all well-known brave generals and commanders in northern Xinjiang. They also have many years of military career, so their ranking is well-deserved. Then, how are the next five ranked?
