Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 238 Dividing the Black Mountain Army 1
After Li Damu went to prepare to go, Gongsun Xu was not idle. The nomination certificate he just said was not to ask Li Damu to kill a few people to show his heart. What he wanted was Li's? Montenegrin Army.

Gongsun Xu couldn't guarantee that Li Damu sincerely wanted to surrender himself now. If he was not desperate, how could such a refugee leader willingly surrender?Don't want to live a good life as an emperor, but suffer from many constraints in the army.

However, things have come to this point, and Li Damu cannot be allowed to pick and choose, he must do this, otherwise, if he had the opportunity to choose, it would be a mess.

Not long after, Gongsun Xu selected ten shrewd personal guards, and at the same time secretly selected two hundred sergeants. Then, he disrupted all the surrendered Black Mountain Army, so that they did not know the people around them.

When Li Damu came back, Gongsun Xu was almost busy here. Li Damu respectfully said to Gongsun Xu: "General, the villain has selected reliable confidantes. As long as they sneak back to the Black Mountain Army in Zhongshan, they will I was able to get in touch with my former subordinates.

At that time, the general will confront the enemy head-on, and the people I send will secretly help the general. At the critical moment, my original subordinates will counterattack the rest of the troops. At that time, the general can take advantage of the chaos to defeat the invading enemy. "

Gongsun Xu nodded, and then replied: "Yes, the method is indeed good, but are you sure that the method you came up with will work? Also, are the people you selected reliable? Even if they are reliable, can they complete the task? What? Don’t be slaughtered by other leaders of the Black Mountain Army as soon as you go back.”

"This, this, the villain did not think of this, please advise the general." Li Damu knelt down and said.

"It's easy to handle. No matter how reliable the person you choose is not as reliable as yourself, besides you, who else can have the appeal to call on your original subordinates?" Gongsun Xu replied inscrutablely.

"The general means that you want me to go back in person?" Li Damu replied in disbelief.

"Yes, you go back by yourself, and you have to bring hundreds of trustworthy subordinates back, so that others will mistakenly think that you broke out with great difficulty. In this way, other leaders of the Black Mountain Army will not suspect you. You also have to A chance to strike." Gongsun Xu explained.

"Good advice, General, but I don't know how the General can let me go back. How many people should I bring back?" Li Damu asked cautiously.

"Since there are remnants and defeated generals, of course there will not be many. I think it will be five or six hundred people. You choose one hundred reliable ones, and I will randomly choose four or five hundred people from those who surrendered. But, you must first fight with me two times." Fight, otherwise, it will be difficult to win the trust of others." Gongsun Xu further explained.

"Of course, don't think that it's okay if you leave like this. In order to test your loyalty and ensure that you will not betray me, I have to take some measures against you." Gongsun Xu said lightly: "You have to understand, I Letting you go back is taking a big risk."

After finishing speaking, Gongsun Xu took out a small black porcelain bottle from behind, poured out a pill from it, and handed it to Li Damu to signal him to take it. Li Damu knew that it was poison, but he still had to take it. Ah, Li Damu swallowed the pill as soon as he became cruel.

However, it wasn't as painful as imagined, instead Li Damu felt a burning heat coming from his abdomen, but it didn't seem to be a serious problem.

"Do you feel that your abdomen is hot? Don't think that if you are fine now, you will be fine. After a month, if you don't get my antidote, you will be gutted and die. Hehe, at that time, if you dare to betray me , you will dig out your own belly yourself." Gongsun Xu sneered.

Li Damu was in a cold sweat when he heard it. It turns out that the poison is chronic, and he only has one month left to live. He didn't expect that Gongsun Xu acted so chaotically, he would use such methods. It seems that he this time It's really a disaster.

What Gongsun Xu fed him was indeed a kind of poison. It was a poison that Hua Tuo and Li Zhongjing spent several years secretly preparing. Li Damu will not mess around, he has to do so.

Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Xu chatted with Li Damu again, roughly instructing him on what to do. In order not to make the Black Mountain Army in Zhongshan suspicious, Li Damu had to find a way to have some conflicts with the other Black Mountain Army after returning, and then, in an emergency , using this contradiction as an excuse, took the opportunity to help the Northern Xinjiang Army defeat all the Black Mountain Army.

If Gongsun Xu made such an arrangement, Li Damu felt that it was feasible, otherwise he would go against the water directly, and he would have to bear a lot of infamy. Even if he could work under Gongsun Xu in the future, he would never be able to raise his head again. .

That night, Li Damu returned to his subordinates. He took advantage of the night to contact hundreds of old subordinates. At midnight, the captured Black Mountain Army rioted. The one thousand servants who were in charge of guarding the prisoners had never received similar tasks before. , As a result, he was caught off guard by the Montenegrin Army.

Not only that, because the servant army was attacked by the Black Mountain Army because of their relaxed vigilance, they were robbed of many horses. By the time Gongsunxu's Huben Army reacted, the Black Mountain Army had already fled.

It was midnight, and it was not suitable for pursuit. Even the Northern Border Army, which was adapted to night battles, had to let the Black Mountain Army flee far away. Anyway, the cavalry led by Huang Xu was blocking the front, and the fleeing Black Mountain Army had to face Huang Xu. Talk about this.

After the incident subsided, Gongsun Xu counted the number of people and found that the Black Mountain Army had lost about 800 prisoners. However, if Li Damu also counted the number of people now, he would definitely find a problem, that is, the Black Mountain Army who fled with him. About 1000 people.

This was done by Gongsun Xuliu. He sent people to sneak into the fleeing Black Mountain army. Li Damu thought that Gongsun Xu only sent ten people to follow him back. If she knew that there were 200 people watching him secretly , I don't know how Li Damu should feel.

After this riot happened, Gongsun Xu was extremely angry. He beheaded more than a dozen prisoners in front of the remaining prisoners. Such a thing would not have happened at all. When those bloody heads were hung up, the remaining prisoners of the Montenegrin Army no longer dared to escape.

At dawn, Gongsun Xu still left 1000 people to guard the captives, and he led the rest to join Huang Xu. However, when he arrived at Huang Xu's side, he received a report that he did not find any prisoners last night. The Montenegrin army passed by.

After Huang Xu was reprimanded by Gongsun Xu, he immediately sent people down to investigate. It turned out that Li Damu was quite familiar with the situation here. At that time, Huang Xu immediately led his people out of the camp to meet him. Taking advantage of this gap, he took advantage of the chaos and led his army to kill him.

However, even if Li Damu was caught by surprise, he still encountered the patrol team of the Northern Border Army. The aggressive selection of the front left more than 300 people on Li Damu's side, but in the end, Li Damu managed to escape.

When Huang Xu received the news that he was going to chase, Gongsun Xu ordered to stop it. This place is very close to Zhongshan, and Li Damu and the others have war horses. As long as they run wildly for an hour, they can fight with the Black Mountain Army on the other side of Zhongshan. The confluence, now the pursuit, has lost its strategic significance.

In order to meet the next battle, Gongsun Xu ordered the whole army to prepare for the battle, and ordered the subordinates who were in ambush to withdraw. Li Damu ran away, and the ambush was meaningless. What he had to do now was to confront the Black Mountain Army, so , The Northern Xinjiang Army pulled out its camp again and marched towards Zhongshan.

To be on the safe side, Gongsun Xu wrote letters to Sun Zan, the shepherd of Youzhou, asking him to station troops on the border to prevent the Black Mountain Army from invading Youzhou. Han Fu, the herdsman of Jizhou, asked him to send troops together to pinch the Montenegro army.

After finishing these things, the Northern Border Army soon encountered the Black Mountain Army.

On the other side, the 14 Black Mountain Army led by Huang Long and Lei Gong is marching towards Changshan. The news they got is that Li Damu's troops are still trapped by the Northern Army, but the number of the Northern Army is small, and they can rely on the strength of their numbers. advantage to defeat the Northern Army.

However, less than 14 miles after the camp was marched, news came from the front scouts that there was a cavalry galloping towards this side [-] miles ahead. Huanglong immediately ordered to line up on the spot. Lei Gong also thought it would be better to stop now. As a result, [-] Montenegrin troops camped in the wilderness like this, preparing to meet the attack of the Northern Xinjiang Army.

Not long after, when this cavalry appeared in the eyes of everyone in the Black Mountain Army, sharp-eyed people discovered that these people's outfits were similar to their own. When they approached again, the Black Mountain Army found out that it turned out to be Li Damu's remnants defeated.

Originally, Li Damu wanted to lead his people into the Black Mountain Army camp, but they were blocked by Huang Long and Lei Gong. They were afraid that there would be Northern Border Army chasing after them. If Li Damu were allowed to come in now, something might happen.

Li Damu led his people to escape for so long, but they were not greeted immediately by Huang Long and the others. Now, Li Damu found a reason to get angry. He was yelling outside the camp gate, clamoring to enter the camp as soon as possible. It was only when Huang Long and other leaders reported that they had not found the Northern Border Army that Li Damu and the defeated generals were let in.

In order to express their apologies, Huang Long and Lei Gong immediately went forward to support the crumbling Li Damu, but they were pushed away by the angry Li Damu. When everyone still didn't understand what was going on, Li Damu scolded: "Good you two You bastard, you want to kill me outside, damn it, I managed to escape from the Beijiang army, but I almost died in your hands."

Huang Long immediately apologized, but Li Damu, who was furious, couldn't listen. Although Huang Long and Lei Gong also had the idea of ​​annexing Li Damu's subordinates, they never implemented it. They did it just now because they were afraid of being followed by the Northern Xinjiang Army.

In the end, the two sides had a disagreement and broke up, Huang Long and others had no choice but to go down to rectify the troops, and Li Damu immediately went to call his own troops to go down.
