Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 631: Bing Qi Grassland 1
In the depths of the grassland, near the Black Forest, groups of cavalry are galloping wildly at this moment. Winter has passed. Although the world is still white, everyone knows that as long as the spring breeze blows, the whiteness between the world will turn into green. In spring, coming soon.

Gongsun Xu had been on the grassland for so long that he was counting the days that passed every day. Now that the elite cavalry had been trained well, he had the capital to fight back to northern Xinjiang.

In the big tent, Gongsun Xu called the generals of the army and the heads of various ministries to hold a meeting. This was a general mobilization before the expedition. Perhaps many of them did not understand what they were going to do. Now, Gongsun Xu wanted them to understand that he The effort of the past few months is to go back again.

"Everyone has worked hard in the past month." Gongsun Xu said to everyone, "Now the winter is finally over. After a while, the ice and snow will thaw, and then we can continue to graze. It's vibrant."

The leaders were all sitting on the right, nodding and bowing in compliments. As for the generals in the army, whether they were from the Huben Army or the warriors of the grassland, they all sat up straight, with serious expressions on their faces. Neither spoke.

"I called everyone here today because I have something to announce." Gongsun Xu waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "I have stayed in the grassland for a long time, and it is time to go back. Now, our army has There are 3 elite cavalry and [-] infantry, enough for us to fight back.

You all share the troubles and hardships with me. I am not the kind of person who crosses rivers and destroys bridges. I just don’t know what you think in your heart. Do you have any opinions on my going back to northern Xinjiang? "

"I would like to fight with the lord on the battlefield." The generals on the left shouted in unison: "My lord, please give me an order."

Some of the leaders on the opposite side were obviously a little hesitant. It seemed that they were still debating whether to leave with Gongsun Xu, but some people, such as the leader of the Antelope Tribe, had already knelt in front of Gongsun Xuman and begged: "My lord! , My lord, please take me with you.

My lord, there must be fierce battles. Many warriors from my tribe were summoned before. I know where they are. They did not go to the northern border to fight. If you go five hundred miles to the west, you will definitely find the place where the warriors of my tribe are stationed. The villain is willing to persuade these warriors for the lord, and save the lord from this obstruction. "

"Okay, there must be a place for you on this trip, get up." Gongsun Xu helped him up and continued to ask: "Then, what about you? I don't know what you mean?"

Gongsun Xu's face was no longer as kind as before. He asked this question for the second time. If the other leaders hadn't said something, then he should think of a way.

"I am willing to follow the lord." Of course, the rest of the people could hear the meaning of the words. Among them, many warriors of the tribe are now fighting in the northern border or other places. If Gongsun continues this trip and returns to the northern border, he will definitely Encounter, if leaders like them come forward to surrender at that time, it will definitely save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I'll assign tasks." Gongsun Xu nodded and smiled, "Dianwei, you command two thousand Tigers and three thousand Sirius troops, and are responsible for my safety. At critical moments, you have to charge forward."

"The last general takes orders." Dian Wei stepped forward to answer with a face of determination. He knew that he would participate in all the battles that followed. This was his lord's trust in his old subordinate.

"Gongsun Ran, the four thousand Sirius army under your command is the vanguard of the army." Gongsun Xu continued: "Smoothing obstacles for the army, opening mountains when encountering mountains, filling rivers when encountering rivers, understand?"

"promise."

"Bai Ling, Aaron." Gongsun Xu finally turned his attention to the generals who were not from the Huben army. He stared at the two and said, "You two each lead three thousand cavalry to guard the left and right wings of the army. Be sure not to let the enemy The scouts are within [-] miles of the army, if there is any enemy situation, they must report to me in the shortest possible time."

"The last general obeys." Both Bai Ling and Aaron excitedly stepped forward to accept the order. They are finally coming to the top. Due to their backgrounds, they are of course unable to compare with those generals from the Tiger Army, but Gongsun I didn't forget them, at least for now, let them guard the left and right wings of the army.

"I will lead the remaining 5000 troops as the central army, responsible for escorting food and supplies." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "I will be in charge of commanding the formation, everyone, don't neglect."

At this time, Ah Hu and Tie Mastiff looked a little anxious. Logically speaking, they should have followed Gongsun Xu to the expedition. Why didn't Gongsun Xu arrange positions for them?Even if it's a grain transport officer, it's okay, but why didn't Gongsun Xu say anything?
"By the way, there is another mission." Gongsun Xu looked at Ah Hu and Tie Mastiff as if suddenly remembering something, and said, "You two, the last time you commanded the infantry to fight a defensive counterattack was very good. It's a little bit of a problem.

After our army left, there are still so many old and weak women and children in the tribe. They must also need someone to protect them. Yes, I will leave you [-] infantry and [-] cavalry. You must protect all the old and weak in the tribe women and children.

In addition, after we leave, you must hurry up to train, and remember to build ordnance, and be prepared for attacks from other tribes at any time. After the spring, you should graze within a radius of three hundred miles, and you must not leave too far away.

Maybe you will think that this task is too insignificant, but I have to warn you, I have entrusted the families of all the soldiers to your hands, if something goes wrong on your side, we have no way out up. "

"The general will definitely handle this matter well." Ah Hu and Tie Mastiff stepped forward to take orders: "With me waiting, nothing will happen to the tribe, please rest assured, my lord."

"Okay, if that's the case, then everyone, go down and prepare." Gongsun Xu ordered: "In two days' time, we will hold a swearing-in meeting, and then we will go to war."

Everyone retreated under orders, and in the end Dian Wei was the only one left to accompany Gongsun Xu. After a long silence, Dian Wei finally asked, "My lord, why don't you leave without the mistress?"

"Now is not the time." Gongsun Xu shook his head and replied: "The war is dangerous, and I don't know what I will face. Besides, the army is exhausted. He can't bear this hardship. She will give birth in two months. I always I can't have her with me.

You also know that when we are marching in a hurry, we are likely to run hundreds of miles a day. This kind of life is definitely not suitable for her, so I plan to keep her. A Hu and Tie Mastiff will lead 1 soldiers to guard here. Shouldn't be much of a problem. "

"Then, my lord, are we going directly to the south?" Dian Wei looked at the map and asked, "If we go south for more than 800 miles, we should encounter the main force of the Xianbei army. Are we going to have a decisive battle with the enemy's main force here?"

"No, let's go west first." Gongsun Xu shook his head again and replied: "Let's go to the grassland near Xiliang first to get in touch with Li Ru and Hua Xiong. I believe they should not be involved in the war yet. In other words, there should be surplus troops on their side.

Then we advance eastward and attack the enemy forces near Hetao. After meeting with Zhengfang, we fight against the enemy forces along the Great Wall. Finally, after we get in touch with the grasslands in the east of Xianbei, we will fight the main force of the enemy forces. "

"My lord has a clever plan, and the last general will take the order." Dian Wei clasped his hands and replied, "The last general will go down first and prepare."

After Dianwei left, Gongsun Xu looked at the map melancholy, and then said to himself: "If you don't go back, something will happen to Northern Xinjiang. I can't wait, Daoer, I hope you can understand."

In the evening, in Gongsun Xu's sleeping tent, Gongsun Xu personally cooked a lot of delicious food for Zhen Dao. Over the years, Gongsun Xu's cooking skills can be regarded as getting a lot of training. It's called a color, fragrance and taste.

"Husband is about to go to war." Looking at her busy husband, Zhen Dao asked suddenly: "In the past, you always cooked a table of meals to coax me before going to war. Now, it should be the same."

"You and I, husband and wife, hehe, I can't hide anything from you." Gongsun Xu replied, "This time the situation is a bit special. The war in northern Xinjiang is dangerous. I'm afraid I can't..."

"I know." Zhen Dao stroked his swollen belly and said, "My husband, don't miss me, I will wait for you here, when the time comes, I will wait for you to come back with the child to pick us up.

In the past few months, you have wasted too much time for our mother and son. Your responsibility does not only lie with our mother and son. Beijiang is waiting for you, and the soldiers and civilians of Beijiang are all waiting for you. "

"Don't worry, I will come back to pick you up in four months at most." Gongsun Xu comforted, "Prairie bandits are raging in northern Xinjiang. I must go back as soon as possible. I have already made arrangements here."

"This is the cloak I sewed for you." Zhen Dao took out a cloak and said: "It's windy in the wild, you have to pay attention to your body, and promise me one thing, if I'm gone after you come back, marry my sister Zhen Mi, this girl has always liked you, and as an older sister, I am also a matchmaker.

This girl has a thin skin and is almost seventeen now. If she doesn't get married again, she will become an old girl. Hehe, you must promise me this matter. "

Gongsun Xu nodded silently and didn't speak. How could he not understand that his wife's words meant to explain the funeral? She was afraid that if something happened, at least she would have someone close enough to take care of her.

Zhen Dao put on the cloak for Gongsun Xu and said: "The war is dangerous, take care of yourself, you are the commander, try not to rush into the battle, from now on, but I and the children will miss you, I will keep this old cloak first, it is already torn A few cuts, I'll give it to you after I sew it up."

"Let's eat first." Gongsun Xu held back the tears that were about to shed in his eyes and said, "I'm just going to fight, and the previous wars were also dangerous, but who can hurt me, don't worry, I guarantee that I will be finished." Come back whole."

Zhen Dao didn't say anything more. As a wife, he can only do so much for his husband who is about to travel far away. With so much to say, he can't cause any psychological burden to his husband. This is the minimum responsibility and obligation of a wife .
