Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 678 Ghosts and Gods Are Unpredictable 2
Gongsun Xu's vanguard quickly crossed the Great Wall and arrived at Yanmen Pass. When the defenders in the pass learned that Gongsun Xu personally led the reinforcements, everyone was overjoyed.

The [-] Xuanfeng Army can't wait to mount their horses to meet Gongsun Xu immediately. However, the situation is not stable now. In a big battle, these brave northern border troops will have time to play.

The defenders of Yanmen Pass will soon start to clean up the ruins, and the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army will gradually rush to this place. Next, there will be no more enemy troops at Yanmen Pass, and the outer city will also need to be rebuilt.

"It's finally here." Gongsun Xu looked at the wall of Yanmen Pass in the distance and said with a smile: "Fortunately, the Xianbei army left before I came, otherwise a fierce battle would be inevitable. Hehe, Zhicai is really not an ordinary person. The Wan Shoujun resisted the attack of Xianbei's 20 cavalry."

"My lord, is the army going to enter the pass?" Li Ru clasped his hands and asked, "We have already arrived at Yanmen Pass, but the next battle should not happen here. In my opinion, there is no need to enter the pass for the time being."

"The main force is camping outside, and the Huben army will follow me into the customs." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "Gao Shun has already rested in Jiuyuan, and he will come over to join us soon.

Hey, when the troops from Youzhou, Bingzhou, and Jizhou have all rushed over, we will send troops to fight the Xianbei army. I heard that the Xianbei army still has 40 cavalry here, which is really not to be underestimated. "

"In front of the lord, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it will only be defeated." Li Ru complimented: "Besides, our army now has nearly 20 troops. As long as the troops from all over the country are reinforced in time, our army's strength will naturally not be less than the enemy's." military."

"Hahaha, well said." Gongsun Xu laughed loudly and said, "Let's enter the pass. Zhicai has been guarding Yanmen Pass for so long and has dealt with the enemy most. Maybe he will give me an unexpected surprise."

"Congratulations, my lord." Outside the city gate, a group of generals knelt on the ground and saluted Gongsun Xu.

"Everyone get up." Gongsun Xu looked around and said, "Everyone is here, why don't you see Zhicai? Before I came, I heard that Zhicai was ambushed and injured a little bit. Hasn't he healed yet?

Zhao Feng, you have performed well during this period. You led the defenders to resist the Xianbei army's attacks again and again. You did a good job.

Is Zhicai seriously injured, and he didn't come now, hahaha, this guy, now he's playing this trick with me, he still lives in the old house, I'll go find him. "

Zhao Feng lowered his head and did not answer. He just nodded, and then led the horse for Gongsun Xu. Along the way, Gongsun Xu kept asking about the situation at Yanmen Pass, but after learning that most of the defenders in the pass were killed or injured, Gongsun Xu was also in a bad mood. not good.

Men in northern Xinjiang, which one is not a bloody generation, this battle not only caused the death of tens of thousands of people, but also let these heroic soldiers of the northern Xinjiang army shed blood on the battlefield.

After arriving at Xi Zhicai's mansion, Gongsun Xu got off his horse and pushed open the gate, then walked in under the guard of the Huben Army and shouted: "Zhicai, is your injury better now? You are not short tempered now, hahahaha, how dare you talk to me?" Putting on airs, when we turn around and wait for Fengxiao and the others to come over, we should have a good drink together,,,,,,"

Gongsun Xu talked while walking, until he opened the door of the living room, he suddenly stopped joking, and then stood there for a long time without speaking.

"No,,,,,,"

There was a long howl, and all the soldiers of the nearby Huben army immediately knelt on the ground when they heard it. They could hear the unusual sadness in Gongsun Xu's voice.

"Why is this, why is this..." Gongsun Xu walked into the living room, and besides dozens of guards kneeling on the ground in the living room, there was only a sarcophagus left to greet him.

At this very moment, there is actually a coffin in this place. Of course Gongsun Xu understands what this means. This is Xi Zhicai's mansion.

"Why did this happen? Who did it?" Gongsun Xu said angrily, lying on the sarcophagus, "I ordered you to protect the military division, why did the military division still have an accident, why..."

These personal guards in the house were the guards sent by Gongsun Xu to protect Xi Zhicai, and they were guarding here before Gongsun Xu came in.

"Shortly after the lord disappeared, rumors spread everywhere in the pass." Zhao Feng knelt behind Gongsun Xu and replied, "The military division's design led to the army's spies, who knew that these spies would finally take risks and risk their lives to lure the military division into being fooled.

That night, the military division led the guards to take down some secret works. Who knew that when they left, they were attacked by several dead soldiers. Unfortunately, the military division was hit by an arrow. I couldn't afford to get sick, and passed away five days later. "

"Impossible." Gongsun Xu held back his tears and said, "The Xianbei army has been stalemate at Yanmen Gate for so long, how could Zhicai disappear so early.

I have read all the battle reports, the enemy's attack is not unreasonable, but Zhicai's defense is also quite outstanding, I can see that this is all Zhicai's handwriting, how could Zhicai disappear so early. "

"Before he died, the strategist wrote down his own plan and military strategy." Zhao Feng took out two books from his pocket and said, "The strategist thought of 23 ways the enemy might attack.

At the same time, the military division has thought out countermeasures for every possible attack. Before dying, the military division ordered me and Meng Fu to keep the secret and deploy defenses according to his instructions.

Every attack of the enemy army was predicted by the military adviser, and the final general just responded according to what the military adviser wrote. Moreover, the plan formulated by the military adviser was to use the city wall to slowly drag the enemy army until all our troops died in battle.

A few days ago, the Xianbei army captured the outer city, and I led the army back to the inner city according to the command of the military adviser, and then piled up the fire starters prepared in advance on the outer city, blocking the enemy for two days.

If the lord never comes back, we may only be able to hold on for more than half a month. Fortunately, the Xuanfeng army arrived in time, which prevented the enemy from taking the inner city. "

"Have you found out who did it?"

"The last general is incompetent. We only found out that the bows and crossbows used by the enemy army were not made in northern Xinjiang. Those dead soldiers all looked like Han Chinese. Before we caught them, they all committed suicide."

"I have to find Kebi to settle this account in person." Gongsun Xu punched the coffin, and everyone saw blood flowing from the coffin.

"Did Zhicai say anything else before the interim?"

"The military division was too poisoned at the time." Zhao Feng replied: "After writing the strategy of the art of war, he often fell into a coma. When he woke up, Cheng dictated some things, and I sent someone to record them all in detail."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Feng took a piece of paper with not many words written on it.

"There is a young son in the family, I hope the lord will show mercy and reward me with a way to survive...

The grace of knowing and encountering will be repaid in the next life, and the luck of this life is to meet the master of understanding...

Recalling the encounter in the academy back then, slaughtering Jiao by the river, killing enemies in the northern border, time flies,,,,,,,"

With just a few lines of text, it seems that there are still many things that I haven't had time to say.From these words, Gongsun Xu could imagine what kind of state Xi Zhicai was in at that time.

"I have known Zhicai since we were young." Gongsun Xu knelt on the ground and cried, "In the past, I was just a son of an official, but Zhicai risked his life to follow me and wandered with me.

Flattening the Yellow Turban, conquering Xianbei, attacking the Xiongnu, and taking Sanhan are all Zhicai who advise me, with him, I can go to war with peace of mind,,,,,, "

Gongsun Xu was so choked up that he couldn't speak. In the end, he lay down on the sarcophagus and cried bitterly. Everyone around him knelt on the ground and dared not speak. At this time, they couldn't guess what Gongsun Xu was thinking.

After a long time, Gongsun Xu finally stopped crying. He slowly stood up and looked at the sarcophagus, and then asked, "What did Zhicai say before he died?"

"Before he died, the military master was suddenly sober." Zhao Feng quickly replied, "At the last moment, the military master shouted: Xianbei will not be broken, and will never be buried."

"Xianbei will never be broken, and will never be buried." Gongsun Xu said these eight words coldly, then closed his eyes and said, "Okay, Zhicai, I will help you fulfill your last wish.

Come, carry the coffin of the general to the tower, and I will fight with the military.Just give me the news, Beijiang Opera Zhicai was loyal and brave for the country, but died tragically at the hands of villains. I, Gongsun Xu, will definitely report this hatred in person. "

"My lord, the situation is complicated now, so please don't be too impulsive." Li Ruzhuang boldly stepped forward to persuade: "Mr. Xi Zhicai had a foresight and foresight, and saved the Yanmen Pass for my lord, making it difficult for the Xianbei army to move forward.

We all admire Mr. Xi Zhicai's talent and virtue, but everything Mr. Xi Zhicai does is to keep the northern border, and keep this great river and mountain from being trampled by foreigners.

If the main force of the Xianbei army is still there, our reinforcements have not arrived, and it is not yet time for a decisive battle, the villain begs the lord to put the overall situation first. "

"I know." Gongsun Xu nodded. At this time, he had recovered from the pain, and what everyone saw was still the usual indifferent and decisive general.

"In the name of the Great General of Northern Xinjiang, I forgive the sins of the ancestors of the Xizhicai clan." Gongsun Xu stroked the coffin and said: "From now on, the Xi clan will restore their ancestral noble status.

Because of the sins of his ancestors, Xi Zhicai could not take a character, and because of the sins of his ancestors, he could only take a humble name.I, Gongsun Xu, declare the pardon of the crimes committed by the Xi clan. "

"My lord is wise." Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted: "The spirit of the military master is in the sky, and he will be able to comfort you."

"Zhicai, I caused these things, but in the end I want you to bear it all for me." Gongsun Xu lowered his head and clenched his fists and said to himself, "I owe you this, and I will use Xianbei to pay for it." The head of the army will be returned."

After more than an hour, Gongsun Xu walked out of Xi Zhicai's mansion, and then ordered people to carry Xi Zhicai's coffin to the tower, which happened to be facing the direction of the grassland. Gongsun Xu was going to fight the enemy in front of Xi Zhicai.

In Northern Xinjiang, shocking news came out one after another. First, Youzhou was attacked by rebels, Yuan Shao robbed His Majesty, and then Gongsun Xu led the army back from the grassland. Now, one of the most prestigious military advisers in Northern Xinjiang Xi Zhicai Xuan Gao passed away, this is really a troubled time, there is no peace.
