Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 327 Counting and Seizing 2
With Zhang Fei's words of commitment, Gongsun Xu felt relieved to leave the matter here to him, but Zhang Fei has a lot of shortcomings, such as alcoholism and corporal punishment of ordinary soldiers, which are enough for Gongsun Xu to have a headache.

Zhang Fei in history died because of these two shortcomings. Gongsun Xu didn't want this kind of tragedy to happen to him again.Since Zhang Fei joined the army, Gongsun Xu had instilled in him the concept of discipline in the army, which had some effect on Zhang Fei anyway.

Although Zhang Fei did not get rid of these two bad habits, at least Zhang Fei was able to distinguish between serious and serious.In a critical moment, Zhang Fei can still restrain himself to some extent. In normal times, he would probably try to violate military discipline.

However, just in case, and to arouse Zhang Fei's desire to win, Gongsun Xu had no choice but to say to him: "In these few battles, you led the heavy cavalry for the first time. When the time comes, you must take the lead."

Zhang Fei looked happy when he heard this. Gongsun Xu was affirming his contribution and hard work. To be so appreciated by the coach is really more important than other rewards.

"However, you have also seen that Bujun and Ziyi marched thousands of miles with Yuanzhi, went deep into the enemy's rear and harassed the enemy's rear, and this created a chance for us to defeat the enemy. Their contribution is probably not small compared to yours. ah.

Furthermore, you should have seen today that Bujun and Ziyi were not soldiers of our Northern Xinjiang Army who participated in the battle. Most of them were surrendered by many servants. This is a way to support the war without losing the strength of our Northern Xinjiang Army. Really good. "Gongsun Xu said lightly: "It's like taking other people's money to do business, and finally earning a lot of money, no matter how you calculate it, you don't lose money, don't you think so. "

Zhang Fei heard that Gongsun Xu was implying that Wen Chou and Tai Shici had the ability to subdue the servant army, and they also made the servant army obedient. If they were told to go all out, no one would dare to retreat.

In today's battle, although Zhang Fei and the others came late, they still saw the combat effectiveness of the servant army. In terms of individual soldier quality and collective combat ability, the servant army soldiers were similar to ordinary Hun cavalry.

However, the courage of the servant army to fight and fight is indeed something that most Hun cavalry do not have. When they go to the battlefield, they use the style of fighting for life to suppress the momentum of the Hun army. Such an army is quite difficult to deal with.

Zhang Fei also understands that even if he leads the elite of the northern border army to fight against such an opponent, I am afraid that the victory will be a miserable victory. Such a victory is not worth the loss. They appreciate that they can subdue such subordinates.

However, praise is praise, this does not mean that Zhang Fei admits that he is worse than them.Wen Chou could do it, and Zhang Fei thought he could do it too. Gongsun Xu praised Wen Chou and Tai Shici in front of him, which aroused Zhang Fei's desire to win.

When Gongsun Xu finished speaking, Zhang Fei remained silent. He just nodded silently, indicating that he heard clearly what Gongsun Xu had just said.

"It's just the surrender of the Huns, if I can't surrender these people, what will I do in the future." Zhang Fei muttered in his heart: "Wen Bujun will probably use this record to flaunt his bravery in the future, hmph, no way.

Dian Wei was an undercover agent in the Xiliang army back then, and now Wen Chou has marched thousands of miles to surprise the enemy's rear. I, Zhang Fei, can surely do a great job. "

Thinking that the two people with the best relationship with him have good records, Zhang Fei became even more uneasy. He raised his head and looked at Gongsun Xu firmly and said, "My lord, don't worry, go to Hetao, I will focus on taming here." Let these surrendered troops completely submit to our Northern Border Army."

Gongsun Xu understood in his heart that Zhang Fei was really determined to do this matter well, but he was still a little worried. He wanted to know how Zhang Fei would handle this matter, so he continued to ask: "The Xiongnu army is rebellious and unruly. If someone has a rebellious heart, what should you do?"

"What the lord needs is only those who are sincerely obedient." Zhang Fei sneered: "If anyone is ignorant, I will kill him. If one person rebels, I will kill one person. So ignorant, what's the use of the lord keeping them.

If you sincerely submit to our army, I will treat you generously. As the lord said, those who surrender will be our companions who will fight side by side in the future. In the past, the overlord of Western Chu slaughtered 20 Qin troops overnight, and completely stabilized the hearts of hundreds of thousands of troops. The army surrendered and rebelled, so what if I follow suit? "

Gongsun Xu nodded and smiled. Although Zhang Fei's method is a bit impatient, it is also very suitable for dealing with the Huns on the grassland. Whoever has a tough fist is the boss. Zhang Fei doesn't mind massacring those who are not in the same heart as the Northern Xinjiang Army. surrendered troops.

"Okay, with your words, I'm relieved, I'm waiting for your good news in Hetao." Gongsun Xu nodded and smiled: "Go and call those outside, I'm eating right now." There is still some time, I will be busy again after dinner."

The dozen commanders of the surrendered army outside the tent had been waiting for a long time, and they hadn't even had their meals yet. The ordinary surrendered soldiers were given a piece of cake and [-] porridge anyway, but they were different. Gongsun Xu summoned them, and they had been waiting here for more than half an hour.

In this camp, I am afraid that they are the most unpopular generals who have surrendered. They still have the brand of Xiongnu Shanyu on them. It is still a question whether Gongsun Xu will trust them, even their former subordinates, this Always stay away from them on purpose.

When Gongsun Xu's personal soldiers came out and ordered them to go in, these people were relieved. Waiting for an unknown death is always the most tormented. Now that Gongsun Xu summoned them, he would give accurate information whether they were dead or alive. They finally You don't have to suffer this kind of suffering.

More than a dozen commanders walked in one by one, lined up and knelt down in two rows. This big tent belonged to their Shanyu yesterday, but today it has a different owner. The fate of life is the same. Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Especially those prairie warriors who live their lives with their heads hanging on their waistbands.

All the generals of the Northern Frontier Army sat on both sides eating and drinking on their own. This can be regarded as a more humane place for Gongsun Xu. They ate and talked about something.Dian Wei is sitting next to Gongsun Xu, and Gongsun Xu roasts half as much lamb as he does.

The dozen or so commanders came in for nearly a quarter of an hour, but Gongsun Xu ignored them. This was a gesture of the winners. Before communicating with the losers, they had to completely break down their psychological defenses.

More than a dozen commanders have been hungry for a day without food, and the cold wind has blown outside the camp for so long just now. If they are not strong, they may not be able to hold on by now. At this moment, they are all kneeling on the ground, but Everyone else in the tent was eating and drinking.

The delicious barbecue is right in front of their eyes, the mellow wine is a thousand times better than the kumiss on the grassland, and other things such as pancakes and milk are placed on the tables on both sides, but they only have Wait and see.

They lived on the grassland since they were young, and they have experienced such things as being hungry. If they were in normal times, maybe Renren would have passed, but now, they are hungry, and there is endless food on the opposite side. They are greater than gold and silver.

More than a dozen commanders were swallowing their saliva, and many people's stomachs were already growling. Their legs were trembling with hunger, and they were dizzy. If Gongsun Xu gave them a leg of lamb, they would all be willing. Go to work for Gongsun Xu.

Finally, when Gongsun Xu finished roasting the lamb, he cut off one of its front legs and enjoyed it slowly. Dian Wei took off one of his hind legs without any hesitation and gnawed on it, as if an evil spirit had been reincarnated.

Gongsun Xu said while eating, "Do you know why I called you here?"

Seeing that Gongsun Xu finally spoke, the dozen or so people were also relieved. If Gongsun Xu kept silent, they really couldn't let go of their hanging hearts.

A clever commander immediately replied: "We are all defeated by the general, and the general can do whatever he wants, and I ask the general to give us the dignity that warriors should have."

"Oh? So, you all want to die?" Gongsun Xu said, throwing the leftover bones in front of the commander.

"I dare not, if I can live, how can I be willing to die, but if I lose my dignity, my life will be nothing but a corpse." The man swallowed his saliva and replied after looking at the bones in front of him.

"Dignity is not something you can have if you want it. The Huns have dominated the grassland for many years, how many other tribes they have bullied, and how many times they have gone south to invade our Han territory. It is fate that you are defeated by me today." Gongsun Xubian said Cut off the other front leg.

After hearing this, the man immediately lowered his head and replied: "The general is a hero of the world, we are not wronged at all to be captured by you."

Gongsun Xu smiled and replied: "You are very sensible, I like it very much, I need loyal and brave subordinates, whether they are Han or not, and whether they have ever opposed me, I don't care about these.

I also appreciate talents who understand current affairs. Such people can see farther than those reckless people and can do greater things. What do you think? "

The man heard the meaning of Gongsun's continuation, and he immediately replied: "We are all hot-blooded men in the grassland, but we have fallen to where we are today if we followed you, the general, then the situation must be different." This is how it looks now."

Gongsun Xu glanced at this man, then cut a piece of meat from the whole roasted lamb and threw it over with a smile, "You look pleasing to the eye, I like it, and this is for you."

The commander had a happy expression on his face, and Gongsun Xu gave him a piece of mutton in public, which was already a hint, and he was also very hungry, so he swallowed such a big piece of mutton in two bites, and did not forget to lick the corner of his mouth after eating.

When the others saw it, they rushed over to Gongsun Xu and said, "We all respect the General very much. It is God's will to lose to the General today. It is Changshengtian who ordered us to surrender to the General. If the General If you are willing to take him in, we are willing to charge forward for the general."

Seeing more than a dozen commanders scrambling to express their allegiance, Gongsun Xu showed a sinister smile, as if the performance of these people was in his calculations.
