Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 250 Arriving in Montenegro 1
Gongsun Xu walked to the map hanging in the tent, pointed to the terrain between Jizhou and Heishan, and said, "Huang Tao, for the time being, you and Li Damu may have to come with me, Feng Xiao, this is the only way here for the time being. You also have to go to Montenegro with me."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "It's just that Changshan, Zhongshan Xinding, if you don't send competent people to guard it, I'm afraid there will be problems."

"I understand, so we must make a quick decision." Gongsun Xu nodded and replied: "Also, I will ask His Majesty for an imperial decree, saying that Changshan and Zhongshan have not yet been completely pacified, and they will be under the joint jurisdiction of Youzhou and Bingzhou for the time being. Come, it should be safe for a month.

This is also a matter of no choice. After weighing the pros and cons, we must now choose to settle the matter on the Montenegro side first. Moreover, you also understand that there are hundreds of thousands of refugees on the Montenegro side. I am afraid that as long as Zhang Yan calls , Immediately there will be no less than 30 Black Mountain Army, which is more harmful than Yuan Shao. "

Huang Tao knew that he and Li Damu were familiar with the terrain of Montenegro, and had some prestige in the Montenegro army, so Gongsun Xu thought about taking them there. Of course, this was also his best opportunity to perform, and Huang Tao certainly didn't want to miss it. .

Moreover, when Gongsun Xu described these military secrets, he didn't say that he was dismissed, which showed that Gongsun Xu did have a kind of demeanor of using people without doubting others, and in this way, Huang Tao's belief in swearing allegiance to the death was further strengthened.

After a while, Gongsun Xu said to Huang Tao: "Go and choose your capable subordinates, calm them down, and be ready to go north with me to Montenegro. Time is running out, and the army must be reorganized today. Is there any problem?"

"Please don't worry, my lord, the general will definitely complete the task." Huang Tao immediately knelt down to accept the order, and then he retired and walked out of the big tent to start his own business.

At this time, Guo Jia also went to the map and said to Gongsun Xu: "My lord, I have calculated the comparison between our army and the Black Mountain army. I am afraid that our army is at a disadvantage."

Gongsun Xu sighed and replied: "The Black Mountain Army probably has no less than 30 capable soldiers, among whom there should be no less than 15 real young and middle-aged men. Moreover, Zhang Yan is also a well-known general in the Yellow Turban Army. His military ability cannot be tolerated." underestimate.

What's more, the Black Mountain Army has been in Montenegro for so many years, and they have not had little contact with the grassland. According to the intelligence, there are actually [-] cavalry among Zhang Yan's subordinates. Although they have just been formed, Zhang Yan will not do things like this No way, in my opinion, although the [-] cavalry is far behind our army's cavalry, they must be much stronger than the Montenegro infantry.

Moreover, this time our army's strength is limited, with 6 forward troops selected, the servant army's loss rate is not high during this period, and it can still maintain the number of [-], [-] tiger and cardinal cavalry, [-] Yanmen cavalry, and the Montenegro army surrendered. There are only [-] troops in the army, and I have to leave [-] to guard Changshan and Zhongshan.

There are 3000 new recruits in Yunchang, and I can only take away [-]. In this way, our army is only [-], and we are still at a disadvantage in terms of strength. Fortunately, our cavalry has the absolute advantage. , I will ask Your Majesty to send troops from Youzhou. In this way, my father can lead [-] cavalry from Youzhou to form a two-sided attack.

This time, unless Zhang Yan swears to fight to the end, I will definitely let the Black Mountain Army stop for a while. Anyway, the threat of the Black Mountain Army is too great. If they really unite with the Huns, no matter whether the Black Mountain Army attacks Bingzhou or It is unimaginable to attack our army with the Xiongnu army on the grassland. "

In fact, Gongsun Xu still has some confidence in conquering the Black Mountain Army, not to mention whether Zhang Yan is difficult to deal with, but from Li Damu and Huang Tao's point of view, none of the Black Mountain Army wants to fight to the death with the Northern Xinjiang Army.

The Northern Xinjiang Army is not the official army that suppressed the Yellow Turban Uprising. They will not kill the Black Mountain Army, nor will they kill the prisoners after they are captured. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Uprising has passed for many years, and Zhang Jiao's old subordinates have also died. To die, to run away, basically no one would want to overthrow the rule of the Han Dynasty and create a new world like Zhang Jiao did.

Now, even if Zhang Jiao's most trusted subordinates are still alive, he will understand that Zhang Jiao's long-cherished wishes are just flowers in the mirror, and how can they accomplish things that even Zhang Jiao can't realize. Woolen cloth?

Furthermore, Zhang Yan led millions of refugees to hide in Montenegro these years, but rarely attacked Youzhou or Bingzhou. Even in the most difficult times, they would only go to Jizhou to grab some food and grass. It can be seen from the facts that Zhang Yan is still a very wise commander.

Although Youzhou and Bingzhou are getting richer, Zhang Yan also understands that these two places are not easy to mess with, and he doesn't want to bring disaster to the Black Mountain Army.

Moreover, the reason why Gongsun Xu dared to send troops now was actually because he believed that he could handle the conflict between the Black Mountain Army and the Northern Border Army well. What the Black Mountain Army wanted was nothing more than food and clothing. The problems that Gongsun Xu can solve, at least Gongsun Xu is solving.

Before, the reason why Gongsun Xu did not attack the Black Mountain Army was because he had just taken over Bingzhou, and there were too many things to be resolved. Later, there was Dong Zhuo's affairs, which kept him busy. Another even bigger reason was that , even if Gongsun Xu subdued the Black Mountain Army, he would not be able to accommodate these people.

It's different now. Everyone in the world knows that Gongsun Xu is going to attack the Hetao, and he wants to resettle the refugees from all over the world. Now there are hundreds of thousands of refugees on the Bingzhou side, and the Hetao side has fertile soil and a wide area, enough to house millions of refugees. .

In addition to Hetao, there are also Xianbei and other places. Gongsun Xu's original intention was to gradually reduce the living space of the grassland tribes. In this way, what he lacks most is refugees.

If only the army were to attack the grassland without the people migrating there, then the land that was captured would not be able to defend. Gongsun Xu still understands this truth. Therefore, the Black Mountain Army is actually a big piece of fat, but this piece of meat Not so tasty.

Now, although Gongsun Xu's troops are in a weak position, is Zhang Yan really willing to fight to the death with the Northern Border Army?Gongsun Xu vaguely remembered that in history, Gongsun Xu could not lift Zhang Yan's head with only [-] cavalry in his hands, which further strengthened Gongsun Xu's confidence.

If Zhang Yan is really determined to join forces with the Huns, then Gongsun Xu will have to kill him. The Black Mountain Army sounds really powerful, but Gongsun Xu has not taken it seriously. My father led the troops to keep an eye on the Montenegro army for the time being, while he led the reinforcements to defeat the Huns army as soon as possible, and then went back and slowly dealt with the Montenegro army.

After dealing with the matter here, Gongsun Xu led the army back the next day. Before that, he had sent an order to Guan Yu to prepare him to go north to Montenegro with him. At the same time, due to Li Damu and Huang Tao Reliable people were sent to recruit the Black Mountain Army on the Zhongshan side, so Gongsun Zan's side should also return to Youzhou soon, and then send troops from Youzhou.

Fortunately, during this period of time, these Black Mountain Army got a lot of food and grass, which relieved Gongsun Xu from worrying about food and grass. As long as Zhang Yan's affairs can be resolved within a month, Gongsun Xu can immediately free up his hands Attack the Huns.

Up to now, Gongsun Xu still doesn't know what's going on on the grassland. Although he gave the Huns a good beating before leaving, he led 3 people to leave after all. He said that it was indeed a bit of an influence, but so far, there has been no bad news from Gao Shun's side, so it should be no big problem.

In fact, if you think about it, there are only Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu on the grassland with outstanding military advisers, not to mention the supreme commanders and generals. If such a lineup can't hold the Huns, then maybe It really means that the Huns have not yet fallen, but is this possible?

Three days later, Gongsun Xu finally reunited with Guan Yu, and Guan Yu also took care of Changshan's affairs. In Bingzhou, Tian Feng had sent some officials to take over Changshan. As for Zhongshan, Youzhou sent officials to take over.

Due to the emperor's decree, Changshan and Zhongshan are still stable for the time being. At this time, Yuan Shao occupies a lot of territory. Will Jizhou not entangle with him? Taking advantage of this gap, Gongsun Xu can just send troops .

Of course, it would be a different matter if Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou with the power of thunder. Therefore, although Gongsun Xu did not garrison more troops in Changshan and Zhongshan on the surface, secretly, Tucker sent secret agents and spies to monitor the situation. The situation on Yuan Shao's side.

After resting in Changshan for a day, Gongsun Xu continued to set off with Guan Yu's 1 troops. There are 1 people, and now is an extraordinary period. For the time being, they can command more soldiers. However, in order to prevent them from rebelling, the number of troops still has to be reduced.

In the end, both Li Damu and Huang Tao voluntarily reduced their troops to 5000, as did the rest of the captains. The generals of the Montenegrin Army who surrendered were appeased, and it did not cause much rebound.

In fact, there is no way to do this. Since ancient times, any commander is willing to see too many soldiers and horses in his subordinates, which will form a trend that cannot be lost. Moreover, he can command as many troops as he has ability. This kind of thing , don't mess around.

Li Damu knew very well that his talents were limited, and being a general was almost the limit for him. There were so many soldiers in the northern border, and any school lieutenant would not be inferior to Li Damu. Huang Tao, who had read poetry and books, had a lot of room for advancement.

People need to have self-knowledge, especially at this time, you must not invite yourself to tasks that you cannot take on or complete, otherwise, it will eventually lead to disasters. The people in the Black Mountain Army still understand this truth. If you don’t understand, there’s nothing you can do about it. If everyone does this, will anyone be able to sing the opposite?
