Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 265 Downhill Part 2
Seeing that these people expressed their allegiance, and with the fact that most of the military power of the Black Mountain Army fell into his own hands, Gongsun Xu was now completely at ease. The serious trouble of the Black Mountain Army was finally eliminated.

However, just in case, we can't relax now, Gongsun Xu looked at the crowd and said: "Tonight I will clean up the dust for you in my tent, I hope you can arrive on time."

Zhang Yan and others heard that it was Gongsun Xu who was urging them to go down the mountain quickly. In fact, Zhang Yan and the others also understood that as long as people like themselves stayed in the old camp in Heishan, Gongsun Xu could not rest assured, and no one could guarantee that no one would rebel. .

In order to express his intention, Zhang Yan immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, Montenegro is not a place to camp. The final general is willing to lead 6 people from his headquarters down the mountain to camp for rectification."

Gongsun Xu nodded. He glanced at Zhang Yan with admiration. Zhang Yan really knows how to figure out his own heart. With Zhang Yan taking the lead, the rest of the people will be much easier. Next, Bai Rao also expressed that he would lead the headquarters As the troops went down the mountain, the rest of the leaders were naturally not far behind.

After thinking about it for a while, Gongsun Xu replied: "I'm afraid it will be very troublesome if so many people go down the mountain together. How about you gather half of the people today, go down the mountain and set up camp first, and we'll talk about the future tomorrow, how about it?"

"This subordinate takes orders." Everyone replied respectfully.

In fact, there is a reason why Gongsun Xu asked them to take half of the troops down the mountain first. Apart from the inconvenience of going down the mountain due to the large number of people, the main reason is to take the opportunity to separate the leaders of the Black Mountain Army from his former subordinates, which is beneficial to Gongsun. Continue to rectify.

The Black Mountain Army has no less than 30 soldiers, but Gongsun Xu doesn't need so many soldiers at all, let alone whether he can support so many troops, 30 people, good and bad, Gongsun Xu must be rectified.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Gongsun Xu can only select 30 people from the 10 people at most. If there is more, his logistical pressure will be great, and Gongsun Xu cannot afford it.

After the meeting, the leaders of the Montenegrin Army returned to their respective camps to gather their troops. They brought their most trusted troops down the mountain first. In fact, they also knew in their hearts that the other half who stayed on the mountain might no longer be under their control. up.

Many people were extremely unbalanced, but Zhang Yan and Bai Rao had no intention of objecting at all, because they knew that since ancient times, military power was something that could easily cause trouble, especially when the leader was particularly strong, as a subordinate, he had to be honest.

For example, Zhang Yan has 6 horses in his hands, which is the most elite branch of the Black Mountain Army. According to Gongsun Xu's request, at least 6 of Zhang Yan's [-] horses will die. However, with so many troops , if they were all kept in Zhang Yan's hands, not only would Gongsun Xu not agree, but other Northern Army generals would also not allow it.

From the very beginning, Zhang Yan wanted to reduce his troops to show his loyalty. If Gongsun Xu's suspicion was aroused at this time, he would probably not have a good life in the future. At this time, if you still think about how to seek personal gain for yourself, it is purely courting death.

In order for Gongsun Xu to see his loyalty, after Zhang Yan discussed with Bai Rao and several other leaders, they only led the little centaur down the mountain, and those who stayed on the mountain were basically those who had been bribed by Gongsun Xu before. Yes, this time, the Black Mountain Army was successfully divided.

After the leader of the Black Mountain Army led the troops down the mountain according to Gongsun Xu's instructions, Gongsun Xu left Guan Yu to reorganize the troops on the mountain. Among the remaining Black Mountain Army, Guan Yu had to select 6 horses, and then they would all be disrupted and reorganized. High-level officers should also place veterans of the Northern Xinjiang Army. Only in this way can Gongsun Xu completely control the Black Mountain Army.

In the evening, Gongsun Xu had already gone down the mountain. He had already ordered a banquet in the camp at the foot of the mountain to entertain all the leaders of the Montenegrin army. Those who wanted to continue serving in the army or become rich were invited. Li Damu and Huang Tao, who had surrendered earlier, were invited. They are also sitting in the big tent, but Gongsun Xu hasn't come yet.

Not long after, the protagonist of the banquet finally arrived, and Gongsun Xu smiled as soon as he came in: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time. Please don't take offense if something is delayed."

Of course, Gongsun Xu's words were just words. No one would think that Gongsun Xu was really apologizing. After all, Gongsun Xu is now their lord, holding the power of life and death for them.

Not long after, Guo Jia opened the curtain and walked in with a smile. Gongsun Xu immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Everyone, please let me introduce you. This is my military advisor, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. Everyone will be here in the future." They are my subordinates, and they must deal with me as a military adviser."

Everyone stood up and said hello to Guo Jia, and Guo Jia also saluted. However, many people didn't understand why Gongsun Xu introduced Guo Jia specially. Guo Jia also looked very young, the key was that he was holding a jug in his hand , The clothes are also rather sloppy, which is completely inconsistent with the image of the so-called military division.

When Zhang Yan was wondering, Bai Rao gave him a look. Zhang Yan followed Bai Rao's gaze, and happened to see Li Damu and Huang Tao standing up to toast Guo Jia. It seemed that they respected Guo Jia very much. .

Zhang Yan understood Bai Rao's meaning. Li Damu and Li Damu had to surrender before their own side. They must know more about the situation. Now that they are so flattering Guo Jia, this is enough to show that the country is indeed superior.

Immediately, Zhang Yan and Bai Rao went up with wine glasses to toast Guo Jia. Anyway, he was a general on his side, so it would not be a bad thing to please Guo Jia.

In fact, Bai Rao thinks a little more than Zhang Yan. He knows Li Damu's temper. Few people can convince him, let alone Gongsun Xu, but Guo Jia can make Li Damu like this. What method completely frightened Li Damu.

Moreover, Huang Tao is actually very intelligent. He was nicknamed the Black Mountain think tank when he was in the Black Mountain Army. He himself is well-educated and has read the books of sages. People must not be simple.

Not long after, after everyone had had a drink with Guo Jia, Gongsun Xu continued: "I see, I'd better introduce my military adviser to you in detail, hehe, everyone now understands how I won the battle. From Montenegro?"

At this time, Montenegro is not a taboo topic, and Gongsun Xu did not say it to attack the veteran of the Montenegro army present. Everyone looked at Gongsun Xu suspiciously, not understanding what he was going to say.

In fact, everyone now knows about Gongsun Xu's victory over Montenegro. Now, they all feel that they can only describe Gongsun Xu as resourceful and exhaustive. After all, in this situation, Gongsun Xu only relies on more than 500 It is indeed a miracle that the guards took down the Montenegro army of one million.

However, at this time, Gongsun Xu smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, the reason why I was able to take Montenegro smoothly was all thanks to my military adviser. From the beginning to the end, he planned all the process by himself. Even everyone The reaction of the Huns, the dying counterattack of the Huns, and Zhang Baiqi's dangerous moves are all within the calculations of my military adviser.

Don’t think that I came up with this all by myself. In fact, if you really care about it, I’m just an executor this time. Hehe, to put it bluntly, Guo Jia is none other than Guo Jia ah. "

Everyone was surprised. Zhang Yan and Bai Rao looked at Li Damu and Huang Tao to ask them for confirmation. Li Damu and Huang Tao just nodded to Zhang Yan and the others, saying that what Gongsun Xu said was true. , Zhang Yan and others admire Guo Jia from the bottom of their hearts.

However, Guo Jia stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I am really upset. There are still a few people in the world who can come up with such a plan, but the only person who can execute this plan well from the beginning to the end is only the Lord. one already.

To put it bluntly, I was just talking and didn't take any real action. Although I successfully took Montenegro this time, I put the lord in danger. It's really my fault. I was scolded, so I ask my lord to help me cover up such a scandal, so don't let them know. "

When Guo Jia said this, it seemed that he had done something wrong. I hope Gongsun Xu would not mention it. Everyone was amused by Guo Jia's words. The kid brags all day long, no matter what, I won’t make fun of you today, come on guys, let’s continue drinking.

I don't care if you were traitors or not before, after today, you are all my subordinates. I, Gongsun Xu, assure you that I will not disappoint your loyalty. Starting tomorrow, we will rectify the Black Mountain Army together. In the future, we will Let people all over the world give a thumbs up when they hear the three words Black Mountain Army. "

"This subordinate is willing to swear allegiance to the lord to the death." Everyone knelt down and replied.

A banquet narrowed the distance between the people and allowed Gongsun Xu to appease the surrendered generals. Next, what Gongsun Xu has to do is to rectify the Black Mountain Army in a short period of time. After all, the Huns are still eyeing them. Gongsun Xu still can't relax.

Two days later, Guan Yu led the reorganized [-] Black Mountain Army down the mountain. Most of the officers and lieutenants in the [-] Black Mountain Army were lieutenants of the Northern Xinjiang Army. In this way, Gongsun Xu had completely controlled this part of the people.

As for Zhang Yan, after rectifying the army and horses according to Gongsun Xu's request, they got more than [-] elite soldiers. General Zhonglang, leading [-] soldiers.

The troops led by the rest of the school lieutenants and partial generals are generally only a few thousand. After discussing with Li Damu and Huang Tao, they both asked Gongsun Xu to reduce their troops. Even Zhang Yan's troops were only ten thousand. How could they outnumber Zhang Yan? Being pushed to the forefront, both Li Damu and Huang Tao felt that surrendering military power was the best way.

However, Gongsun Xu did not forget their contributions. In addition to these two people receiving a lot of rewards, Gongsun Xu only reduced their military power to seven thousand. Be loyal, and I, Gongsun Xu, will not treat you badly.

As for the sick person in the Black Mountain Army, Gongsun Xu sent people to escort her to Youzhou at this moment. Presumably, it should not be difficult to cure her under the conditions of Youzhou.
