Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 759 Take the River East 1
After marching for several days, only Sun Ce's 2000 cavalry, Yang Feng's [-] cavalry and other troops were left on Zhao Yun's side. Zhang Xiu returned after sending Zhao Yun away from Jingzhou.Along the way, Zhao Yun did not fail to persuade Zhang Xiu, wanting him to give up Wancheng and come to Northern Xinjiang. After all, this is his senior brother, and he is also a rare general in the Xiliang Army. Zhao Yun also wanted to attract another talent for Northern Xinjiang .

In any case, Zhang Xiu was also known as the spear king of the North, and his reputation in the Xiliang Army was not small. It was only later that Lu Bu's reputation was too great, overshadowing the reputation of other generals, which made Zhang Xiu so unknown.At this moment, although Zhang Xiu occupies Wancheng in Jingzhou, it will be difficult to become a great weapon after all. Moreover, now he has few troops and is subject to Liu Biao in terms of food and grass.

The life of being under the control of others is not so easy. Zhang Xiu has more than 4 troops under his command, most of them are old subordinates who were taken away from the Xiliang army. These are the tribes of his uncle Zhang Ji. The emigration of the army in charge is completed.After reaching an agreement with Liu Biao, Liu Biao handed over Wancheng and completed the nearby cities, but the condition was that Zhang Xiu would guard the gate of Jingzhou for him and resist possible enemies from the south and west. After the two parties reached an agreement, Liu Biao would regularly Supported him with some food and grass, and Zhang Xiu just settled down.

No matter how much Zhao Yun persuaded, Zhang Xiu finally rejected Zhao Yun's kindness.There is no reason, nor too much excuse, Zhang Xiu just doesn't want to leave now.Maybe it's because he doesn't want to live the life of being dependent on others, or maybe Zhang Xiu has his own ideas. In short, he just refuses to leave Wancheng now, let alone go to Gongsunxu.

Sun Ce escorted him all the way, even if he was far away from Jiangdong, he was not worried. It stands to reason that he and Liu Biao had a vengeance for killing his father. It is easy to kill from Jiangdong to Jingzhou, but it may be more difficult to return to Jiangdong from Sili Will Liu Biao let him go so easily?In other words, will Liu Biao set up an ambush on the road like before?Sun Ce took a big risk when he came out this time. Maybe Liu Biao had already stationed troops on the border to attack Jiangdong at this time.

After marching to Hanoi, it is relatively close to Bingzhou. This is considered the territory controlled by the Northern Xinjiang Army. Yuan Shao's strength cannot penetrate here. At this moment, Zhao Yun and his party are completely safe. They have arrived in Northern Xinjiang.

In the wilderness, Zhao Yun rode his horse and walked in the forefront, and the cavalry was distributed around the team to guard. Although he was close to the northern border, Zhao Yun still did not relax his guard, and no one could guarantee that nothing would happen.

"Slow down, there is a situation." Zhao Yun suddenly stopped everyone and said, "It's too quiet, release Hai Dongqing to inquire about the news."

Before Zhao Yun's side released Hai Dongqing, there was a cry in the sky, and then, Zhao Yun's side Hai Dongqing responded excitedly, as if he had discovered his companion, and then spread his wings and flew away.

There was a sudden sound of earth-shattering horseshoes, and the whole earth felt shaken. It is estimated that there are no less than tens of thousands of war horses running towards this side.

"It's the banner of the lord,,,,,," Zhao Yun roared after looking at the banner with the characters of Gongsun appearing in the sky: "All dismount and welcome the lord."

A pair of strong horses appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the elite cavalry still formed a neat formation on the high-speed horses. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed towards this side. From a distance, thousands of people here seemed to be going surrounded.

"Haha,,,,,," came a majestic voice: "Zhang Yide from Yan is here, who will compete with me."

"I'll come." Sun Ce excitedly said, "Jiangdong Sun Bofu is here,,,,,,"

Two generals, one red and one black, rode their horses towards each other and galloped across the wilderness. Soon, their weapons touched in the air, and there were deafening sounds. The two generals fought like this. There was nothing fancy about the false moves, the two of them fought for real, every move and style was a killer move honed over thousands of years.

"Don't mess around." Gongsun Xu rode his horse and roared, "Back off."

Zhang Fei and Sun Ce only fought for a few rounds. After being scolded by Gongsun Xu, they stopped at the same time, and then all the people here knelt on the ground and saluted Gongsun Xu.

"Everyone has worked hard, get up." Gongsun Xu stepped forward to help Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you have worked hard. Without you this time, my son might be in danger."

"It's hard to talk about Yun's responsibility." Zhao Yun cupped his hands and replied, "Thanks to these loyal people, otherwise Yun would not be able to protect the young master well. Unfortunately, there are still many loyal people who have died in Jingzhou. .”

"Okay, they are all loyal people." Gongsun Xu said to everyone, "I, Gongsun Xu, will remember your kindness. "

"The villain dare not,,,,,,"

"Bo Fu, come here." Gongsun Xu looked at Sun Ce and said with a smile: "Good boy, you have killed all the way from Jiangdong to Bingzhou, and you are indeed worthy of your title of Little Overlord of Jiangdong. , stay and ride with me on the thousands of miles of grassland, I will take you to beyond the Great Wall, to Mobei, the remnants of the Xianbei and the remnants of the Huns are still lingering in Mobei, and I will send troops to take down the grasslands of Mobei. On the Wanli Grassland, why don't you go with me."

"Well, the family business is all in Jiangdong, so I can't leave if I want to." Sun Ce hugged Gongsun Xu and said, "This time I came for the elder brother. Now that I see the elder brother, Bo Fu should leave. Report, my brothers and sisters are still young, if I leave, I will be sorry for my late father, besides, there are so many children in Jiangdong waiting for me to go back and settle down, so I can't let them down."

Gongsun Xu looked at Sun Ce, then nodded and said with a smile: "That's fine, the man's ambition is everywhere, it may not be a good thing to keep you now, but you have to remember, the elder brother is waiting for you in the north, no matter what happens in the future, you I am still a brother of life and death, as long as you need it, just ask, come, and bring all my gifts."

Soon there were [-] unowned horses among the frontline army. The horses were all equipped with excellent cavalry equipment. From bows and crossbows to armor, from horses to weapons, all of them were well-made and excellent products. The assembly-line military products produced by other princes are generally difficult to buy, let alone the [-] sets of finely crafted top-grade military products.

"You and your subordinates will need these things at times." Gongsun Xu smiled and said, "You should have more than 20 elite cavalry under your command, but you may not have so many high-quality horses and armors, so I will give you these. Get something, go back and train the cavalry well. Jiangdong is suitable for sailing, but if you want to defeat Liu Biao, you may not be able to rely on the navy alone. The Jingzhou navy is no less than [-]. I am afraid it will be difficult for you to form such a large navy. , but when it comes to the army and cavalry, you may not lose to Liu Biao."

"Thank you, big brother." Sun Ce smiled excitedly: "With such equipment, I am sure to chase after Liu Biao's army. The Jingzhou infantry will no longer be able to resist me Jiangdong Jianer."

"We hadn't seen each other for a long time." Gongsun Xu patted Sun Ce's shoulder and said, "Now that we meet in a hurry, we have to say goodbye. Hehe, you and I are destined to be unable to drink happily together for the time being. Hey, Bofu, brother I won't force you, you have your own ideas, do whatever you want, we will have a chance to meet again."

"Big brother, little brother,,,,,,," Sun Ce suddenly had the urge to hug Gongsun Xu and cry bitterly, but he finally held back, and could hear the meaning of Gongsun Xu's words, in fact, he also understood The other party knew his ambitions and ideas. At this time, Gongsun Xu did not stop him, but supported him so much. This really moved Sun Ce.

"The parents who gave birth to me, and those who know me, are the eldest brother." Sun Ce said with a smile: "The little brother came here in a hurry, and Jiangdong still has a lot of things to do, so I won't delay, just leave now, and I will definitely visit the eldest brother again in the future."

"Well, let's go." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "I have already written to Liu Biao, he will not hinder you in Jingzhou, go back at ease."However, if Liu Biao is going to stab someone in the back, I will definitely not let him go. "

After half a stick of incense, Sun Ce led [-] cavalry under his command and left with a gift from Gongsun Xu. Gongsun Xu did not delay, and after Sun Ce left, he also ordered to go back.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you." On the way, Sun Ce couldn't help but look back at the north and sighed, "I have my own responsibilities. If we were born in a prosperous age, you and my brothers would definitely drink together and fight on the battlefield together. But this is a troubled time, brother. Inheriting my father's foundation, inheriting his ambition, you and I will inevitably become enemies, if we meet on the battlefield in the future, if I die at the hands of my elder brother, my younger brother will be willing, I'm sorry,,,,,,"

On the other side, Gongsun Xu led his troops towards Bingzhou, halfway there, Gongsun Xu shook his head and sighed: "Oh, this guy Bofu, the little overlord of Jiangdong, will inevitably meet him on the battlefield in the future, I hope he will not admit his death when the time comes That's good, otherwise, I'm afraid I really have to kill the killer."

"Sun Ce is also considered a hero." Zhao Yun replied: "I inquired about it when I was in Jingzhou. Sun Ce led his elite troops to sweep Jiangdong and take the land of Jiangdong in one fell swoop. In the past two years, he has concentrated on developing the navy. It is said that the combat effectiveness of the Jiangdong navy is far away. It surpasses the Jingzhou Navy, but it is far inferior to the Jingzhou Navy in terms of numbers, but this is enough to show how powerful Sun Ce is, my lord, this Sun Ce has learned everything about your development of the navy."

"Hehe, it's really good." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "What's the point of guarding the Yangtze River? Their cognition, when the time comes, may be able to convince him. I hope he can go to sea, and there are a group of capable people around him. Only that Zhou Yu can be regarded as the most intelligent person in the world. With him taking care of Bofu, I would rather rest assured.

However, after all, we will still meet on the battlefield, and only by defeating him can we subdue him. Bo Fu, I am waiting for this day, and my brother will take you to gallop across the grasslands and conquer the world. "

"By the way, my lord, why did you appear here?" Zhao Yun asked, "Is the matter on the grassland settled? Where is Yuan Shao? Didn't he take the opportunity to attack our defense line in Jizhou? I'm afraid the other princes will not be idle either, right? Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, wouldn't these people take advantage of our northern army when it was weakest?"

"The Xianbei army no longer exists." Gongsun Xu said with a sneer, "I mobilized hundreds of thousands of cavalry in the northern border and defeated more than 2 enemy troops. Now the Wanli grassland is under the control of our northern border army. As for Yuan Shao, Hmph, his movements are not slow, and he almost caused us a lot of trouble. Unfortunately, his [-] army is not strong in field combat. After I cut off the food and grass, he couldn't move forward, and lost more than [-] People and horses were eventually forced back to Qingzhou by me and Yunchang. Now that Yunchang is building a defense line in Le'an, Yuan Shao can't fight back in a short time. There is not enough food and grass in Qingzhou. I guess this guy will suffer for a while .”

"It turns out that I missed so many things." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "My lord leveled the grassland with the momentum of thunder, and then defeated Yuan Shao. The other princes must have been frightened and did not dare to act recklessly. However, at this time, wouldn't our army Should we intensify our rest? After all, we have just gone through a major battle, and our army must have consumed too much."

"Rest is necessary." Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "I have ordered 5 cavalry to be transferred from the grassland to Jizhou to garrison, plus the [-] horses that Jizhou had before, the [-] army is enough to deal with all emergencies.

A few days ago, when Yide was chasing the remnants of the enemy army in the grassland, something happened. As a result, [-] grassland cavalry were recruited by Cao Cao. I suspect that Cao Cao had no good intentions when he entered the grassland. From now on, without permission, no other princes would dare Go out of the fortress privately. "

"That said, I have a little impression." Zhao Yun thought for a while and said: "When I was besieged by tens of thousands of Hun troops, I was stopped by several masters. Back then, I wondered where there were so many masters on the grassland. If According to what the lord said, hehe, I suspect that they are Cao Cao's subordinates. "

"It should be." Zhang Fei ran over and said, "At the beginning, I led my men to chase the remnants of the Jie cavalry, and I was stumbled by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan along the way. As a result, when I chased Hongnong, these defeated troops fled After entering the city, Cao Cao finally said that the Sili area was already his territory, and asked me to leave quickly. Hmph, I'm sure Cao Cao is not a good person, he plotted against us from the very beginning. "

"That's not bad." Zhao Yun said angrily: "Cao Cao already occupied Yanzhou and the northern part of Yuzhou. Now if he is allowed to take Sili, wouldn't his strength increase greatly?" "

"So, hehe." Gongsun Xu replied: "After solving the matter in the east of Wanjizhou, I immediately mobilized the selection of front troops to Bingzhou, Zilong, Yide, and tomorrow I will send troops to take the land of Hedong and Hanoi in one fell swoop. Cao Cao wanted to eat this piece of fat, but he never asked me, since this is adjacent to Bingzhou, how could I let him get involved."

"So that's how it is." Zhao Yun suddenly realized, "If my lord leads [-] soldiers to the south, the land on the east side of Hanoi will soon surrender. This is the best way. It doesn't require a large army to go on an expedition, and it won't waste too much time."
