Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 461 Borrowing Chickens to Lay Eggs 1
The banquet lasted for more than three hours. Gongsun Xu personally explained the details of the transaction and the peculiarities of some new products to the representatives.After completing these tasks, Gongsun Xu announced that today's banquet is temporarily over, and the transaction will continue in two days.

As for why he had to wait until two days later, there is of course a reason. Gongsun Xu has too many things on hand now. It is enough for him to take the time to explain the details of the transaction to the representatives today. Leave it to Guo Jia and others to solve it, he doesn't have so much free time.

But what Gongsun Xu was thinking about now was still the matter he had proposed at the beginning about letting other princes send troops to the grasslands to plunder and resist the Hu. Gongsun Xu had already had an idea for this matter, but he never formed a specific plan.

Up to now, Gongsun Xu has very limited troops on hand. Otherwise, why would he only dispatch [-] draft troops this time to assist Beihai to suppress the Yellow Turbans, and he would go out to fight with the assistance of the Zhongshan defenders.

You know, in normal times, all the [-] forward troops under Gongsun Xu's command can be mobilized. Especially in the face of an emergency, the soldiers of the forward troops have to go to the battlefield immediately after receiving the order, but Gongsun Xu is now Really dare not do this.

The prairie is too restless. Although the Xiongnu's vitality has been greatly injured, they still have some foundations. If they fight back desperately, they may still be able to form a hundred thousand cavalry. .

As for Xianbei, Gongsun Xu has not been able to completely solve this problem until now. Although Xianbei has retreated northward, their overall strength has not weakened much. It's just the balance within the Xianbei tribe.

Gongsun Xu really wanted to solve these problems on the grassland directly, but it was difficult.This is not just a simple matter of sending troops to strangle. How can there be so many tribes on the grassland? Even if Gongsun Xu has the strength, he would not dare to do this. If those tribes are pushed into a hurry, they will only come together and unite .

So Gongsun Xu came up with a way to kill with a knife. Since the troubles in Xiliang, the princes of the world had to come to Northern Xinjiang if they wanted to buy war horses, which led to the monopoly of the war horse business in Northern Xinjiang.

It is absolutely false to say that they are not envious of the dominance of the northern Xinjiang. It is just a business of war horses. The Northern Xinjiang Army does not know how much money it has made. The key point is that the Northern Xinjiang Army only sells stallions and rarely sells them. Mares, which made it difficult for other princes to establish their own horse breeding bases.

But now, Gongsun Xu drew a cake for them, a big cake that other princes could get at their fingertips.Since everyone wants horses, cattle and sheep, why not go to the grassland to grab them?

In the past, the Northern Border Army occupied Bingzhou Youzhou. Even if other princes wanted to lead their troops northward, they still had to ask the Northern Border Army if they were willing, but now Gongsun Xu showed signs of letting go. For the princes, it is indeed a good thing.

Gongsun Xu roughly estimated that if the plan can be implemented well, he can form a coalition army of tens of thousands in a short period of time, and most of them are cavalry. There is no problem.

According to Gongsun Xu's estimate, Yuan Shu would dispatch 1 cavalry. Now Lv Bu has a lot of soldiers and horses, but lacks territory and food, grass and horses, so it is definitely not a problem for Lu Bu to dispatch [-] cavalry.

Cao Cao's cavalry should not be less than 1000 now. Although the forward selection army had defeated and wiped out more than [-] cavalry of Cao Cao before, Gongsun Xu believed that from Cao Cao's perspective, he would never let go of this excellent training opportunity. Opportunity, not to mention the opportunity to plunder horses, cattle and sheep, if Cao Cao doesn't seize this opportunity, it can only show that Gongsun Xu is wrong.

As for Yuan Shao, he could have at least 5000 men under his command. Perhaps Yuan Shao was arrogant and unwilling to send troops, but if other princes sent troops to make a fortune, how could Yuan Shao sit still?Gongsun Xu thought very clearly that as long as he gave enough temptation, others would definitely find a way to get involved.

In the evening, in Gongsun Xu's residence, Gongsun Xu was sitting in the hall, and there was a person kneeling in front of him. This person was Gongsun Xu's sworn brother, Sun Ce.

"Brother, little brother is desperate, I have no choice but to ask for help today." Sun Ce cried, "Father died tragically in Jingzhou, if I hadn't retreated quickly, my father's body would have been taken away.

When I returned to Jiangdong, I thought I could regroup and avenge my father, but I didn't want those aristocratic families to take the opportunity to turn against me. They not only cut off my food and grass supply, but even helped the Jingzhou army to trip up our army.

Liu Biao of Jingzhou is insidious and cunning. Although he cannot directly send troops to attack Jiangdong, he uses other means to block our army.In addition, my father's death caused the army's morale to be in turmoil, and I couldn't find food and grass, which caused the subordinates to start fleeing.

Uncles Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others had to surrender to Yuan Shu in order to seek reinforcements for me. Later General Yuan Shu came forward to stop Liu Biao, but most of my father's old troops were gone.

In the end, the only ones who followed me were my family member of the Sun family and my father's former soldiers.The revenge of killing my father is unshakable, my younger brother vowed to kill Liu Biao to avenge his father, but now I don't have many subordinates around me, so I have to come here to beg you, big brother, please help me. "

For a long time, Gongsun Xu didn't speak. He kept staring at Sun Ce. Sun Ce knelt on the ground and cried, as if he wouldn't get up if Gongsun Xu disagreed.

Finally, Gongsun Xu said: "Get up first, sit down and talk about anything, everything can be discussed, don't cry."

Gongsun Xu stood up, went to Sun Ce, helped him up and continued, "Have you taken the characters?"

Sun Ce nodded and replied, "When I went to Jingzhou, my late father took the character Bo Fu for me."

"Well, Bo Fu, you've grown up." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "To be honest, I'm very happy to see you in the lobby today. I knew you would not be knocked down. The thought of coming to me means that you still regard me as a brother, and I am very happy.

Bo Fu, if you want to take revenge, I definitely support you, but, have you ever thought about how to take revenge?Presumably you should have thought about what kind of help you want me to give you before you come, tell me. "

"I want to borrow troops from my elder brother. As long as my elder brother is willing to lend me [-] cavalry, I will surely avenge my father." Sun Ce grabbed Gongsun Xu's sleeve and said, "I know this will make it difficult for my elder brother, but I beg you to help me." I."

Gongsun Xu looked at Sun Ce and said nothing, and did not nod in agreement that night.After a while, Sun Ce also seemed to feel that his request was too much, so he changed his mind and said, "How about five thousand cavalry? Five thousand will do."

Gongsun Xu still didn't speak, Sun Ce lowered his head and begged, "Three thousand, I only want three thousand cavalry."

"Oh, Bo Fu, you are blinded by hatred." Gongsun Xu patted Pai Sun Ce on the shoulder and said, "Do you think you can take revenge in this situation? Do you think Jingzhou can be captured with [-] cavalry? Bo Fu, in your current situation, you will never be able to take revenge."

"I, elder brother, I must kill Liu Biao. I beg your elder brother to clear up my doubts."

"How many subordinates do you have left, how much food and grass do you have left? Do you have your own territory, how much do you know about Liu Biao, how much do you know about Jingzhou, and how many people Liu Biao has? Do you know what Liu Biao is doing now? ? Do you think Liu Biao will wait for you to lead an army to take revenge? Also, do you think you have a chance to leave Zhongshan?"

Gongsun Xu directly asked a series of questions, which left Sun Ce speechless. He stared at Gongsun Xu with staring eyes. Zhou Yu had also told him these questions, but he didn't think about them carefully. Now Gongsun Xu is asking the same question. Only then did Sun Ce realize that he was really blinded by hatred.

Before Sun Ce could reply, Gongsun Xu continued: "Maybe you don't believe me, but I still want to tell you that Liu Biao has an army of 20, and his navy troops are all over Jingxiang. In addition, Liu Biao himself is a relative of the emperor, and he himself You have a very good reputation among scholars, and now you have no chance of revenge at all.

Also, don't forget that behind Liu Biao there are all the great families in Jingzhou, and they are all on Liu Biao's side. Do you think Liu Biao can order the great families in Jiangdong to trip you up?Hehe, you are wrong, many of the noble families in Jiangdong and Jingzhou are in the same spirit, without Liu Biao doing anything, those noble families in Jingzhou will find a way to kill you.You have no chance to make a move right now.

So what if you have ten thousand cavalry, how many cities can you attack, can you feed these cavalry?Can you guarantee that other princes will not make trouble behind your back?Yuan Shu doesn't dare to offend Liu Biao now, why do you think he won Jingzhou again. "

"I, I,,,,,," Sun Ce was speechless now, he sat on the ground as if he had lost all his strength, and then he said in a daze: "Sun Ce is incompetent, and even now he even hates his father Can’t even report, hahahahaha, Sun Ce is incompetent.”

"Get up, what do you look like now." Gongsun Xu roared angrily, "I didn't say there was no chance, cheer me up."

"Then, big brother,,,,,," Sun Ce seemed to be grasping at straws.

"Tell me first how many troops you have left." Gongsun Xu asked, "How many troops do you have that can be mobilized?"

"Several uncles took away the entire navy." Sun Ce replied, "I only have a thousand cavalry left, but less than five hundred horses."

"With the appeal of the Sun family, they should be able to appeal to many people."

"Many subordinates have been dismissed by me." Sun Ce replied: "If I can make a comeback, they will definitely gather under my banner."

"That's right, Bo Fu, as long as you don't argue for a while, you can take revenge." Gongsun Xu stared at him and said, "But you have to tell me first, can you hold back?"

"Yes, absolutely." Sun Ce replied appraised, "I will definitely not disappoint my brother."

"Okay, this is my brother." Gongsun Xu grabbed Sun Ce's shoulder and said, "Come on, come and tell me about the situation in Jiangdong. You discuss and discuss."

Sun Ce immediately followed Gongsun Xu to the table and discussed it. Now Sun Ce is no longer that reckless boy, he has matured.
