Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 860 New Weapon 2
After the Ghost Shadow Guard left, Gongsun Xu sat quietly in his seat thinking about the recent major events. Judging from the information sent by the Ghost Shadow Guard and other places, Ma Teng must have been secretly detained by Cao Cao, and, no accident Yes, there must be something wrong with Ma Chao's rear, otherwise he wouldn't have sent troops without warning a year ago.

What puzzled Gongsun Xu the most was that in the Xiliang army, Han Sui actually only used half of his troops, while Ma Chao mobilized all of them.Judging from the number of troops mobilized by Ma Chao, the Silk Road, which was finally opened up before, may have been blocked again.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Gongsun Xu shook his head and sighed: "The Silk Road that was finally opened up is gone. I don't know when the next time I will send troops to the Western Regions. If I want to open up the Silk Road again, alas, I'm afraid I will have to wait for it." It will cost a lot of manpower and financial resources, Meng Qi, although you are forced to send troops this time, your choice is indeed too irrational."

Back then, Gongsun Xu supported Ma Chao's attack on the Western Regions. He wanted to alleviate the conflict between himself and Ma Teng. He really wanted to open up the Silk Road and prepare for the trade in northern Xinjiang, because Gongsun Xu knew very well that he Many things you want have to be transported through the Silk Road. Although the navigation industry in the northern border is quite developed, it cannot reach every corner of the world after all. The countries in the Western Regions and those countries farther west are Gongsun Xuxiang object to be visited.

"It seems that many plans have to be postponed again." Gongsun Xu looked up to the sky and sighed: "Without unifying the world, these things will not be realized after all. Only internal stability can provide strong support for these undertakings. If this is the case, then everything will begin. Well, anyway, the world is already chaotic enough, it’s time to start and end,,,,,,”

Two days later, on the grassland north of Youzhou, a group of elite messenger soldiers were galloping on horseback. The leading soldier carried three feathered arrows on his back. When they arrived, the pair of cavalry gave way one after another, because everyone could feel the eagerness of the cavalry.

"My lord, something is not right..." Gongsun Xu who was reading in the study was suddenly interrupted. Immediately afterwards, Huang Xu pushed open the door and walked in, knelt down and said, "Flying pigeons to send letters, urgent reports from the grassland."

"Huh?" Gongsun Xu looked up at Huang Xu suspiciously and asked, "Grassland urgent report? There are nearly 25 troops on Zilong's side now, and Yan Liang's orthodox army is also confronting Han Sui. Xu Rong is guarding the Hetao. How can the grassland return?" Something will happen, could it be that the Xiliang Army has increased its troops again?"

"Yes, it's the Huns,,,,,,"

"Northern Huns?" After reading the information, Gongsun Xu slammed the table and stood up and shouted: "The king of the Northern Huns, who is so rampant, dares to send troops south at this time. He has eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard."

"My lord, the main force of our army is now concentrated in the Qingzhou and Hetao areas." Huang Xu quickly persuaded: "These two places are related to the safety of our army. The King of the Northern Huns has launched another 17 troops to go south. We can only take defensive measures now." strategy.

If Cao Cao and others know that our army is facing so many enemies now, he will definitely send a large army to the north to attack Jizhou. At that time, our army will fall into the situation of multi-line combat. My lord, our Northern Xinjiang army can't stand it no matter how strong it is. This kind of consumption, my lord, please think twice. "

"The main force of the cavalry is in Hetao, and Gao Shun can't move troops here. The forward selection army is now distributed in Jizhou, and Qingzhou is watching the southern princes." Gongsun Xu squinted his eyes and snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? I still have enough The most important thing now is not to let the Xiongnu army go south, only when the Xiongnu army is beaten back, all difficulties will be solved, pass the order, and the eight thousand tigers will immediately assemble."

"Ah, my lord, you, do you want to move the Tiger's army to the north?" Huang Xu said in surprise: "But, if the eight thousand tigers leave here, the other princes will definitely get the news..."

"Adjust three thousand tigers, and each of them will accompany three war horses. I have prepared enough other weapons and armor. Also, bring our new weapons." Gongsun Xu ordered: "I will see three horses in two hours. Hu Ben, who is all ready to go, hurry up, don't delay."

"promise,,,,,,"

After Huang Xu left, Gongsun Xu walked back and forth restlessly in the study room. He stared at the map from time to time. The northern grassland has a huge territory. In order to draw a clear line, all the counselors in the northern border discussed and decided to stay in the border area. Choose a suitable location to build the city, so as to defend against the enemies further north, and also provide a resting place for the garrison soldiers.

The southward migration of the Northern Huns is actually not a big deal. Before Gongsun Xu also got news that the Northern Huns tribe was close to the border of northern Xinjiang, and the [-] forwards of the Northern Huns had appeared on the border, but they retreated quickly. At that time However, Gongsun Xu focused his energy on the Xiliang Army and the southern princes. Moreover, the Northern Huns only stayed in the Mobei area to graze, and did not violate the interests of the Northern Army.

But now, the Northern Huns have taken the initiative to pick things up, and they have gathered 17 troops on the border. It seems that they may invade at any time. This kind of thing must not be tolerated by Gongsun Xu, regardless of whether the Northern Huns have colluded with others , Gongsun Xudu must repel the Northern Huns in time.

"Dare to bully me, hum." Gongsun Xu yelled fiercely at the beams of the house: "Get down for me."

In the blink of an eye, thirty men in black jumped down from the beams and knelt down in front of Gongsun Xu and shouted, "My lord, please order..."

"Gather three hundred ghost guards for me." Gongsun Xu roared with a murderous look on his face, "No, I want two hundred ghost guards and one hundred shadow guards. Gather immediately and follow me in an hour."

"promise,,,,,,"

The most mysterious army in Gongsun Xu's hands, only a few people know that this army is called Ghost Shadow Guard, but Ghost Shadow Guard is just a general name. In fact, Ghost Shadow is two troops. Ghost Guard is good at assassination, Sneak attack, and the shadow guards are mainly responsible for guarding and monitoring. In the past operations, Gongsun Xu almost never dispatched more than [-] ghost guards at one time, and the operation of dispatching [-] ghost guards at one time did not exist, because The destructive power of the ghost guards is too strong, the most was dispatching fifty ghost guards at one time, and that time was a confrontation with Ke Bineng's army. Gongsun Xu sent the ghost guards to attack and kill many enemy generals overnight, causing the enemy to fall confusion.

When Zhao Yun was trapped in Jingzhou last time, Shi A took more than 500 people with him, but due to the sudden incident, there were actually only more than 500 real ghost guards among the 100 people, and most of them were shadow guards. He didn't become a semi-finished member of Ghost Shadow, because Shi A himself didn't know the exact number and distribution of Ghost Shadow, so he thought he took most of Ghost Shadow Guards with him. So far, only Gongsun The next person knows best.
