Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 11 The Great War outside the Great Wall (4)

After the siege of the city for nearly three months, Qiu Liju gradually felt powerless. He thought that the opponent would leave the city for a decisive battle when the food and grass were exhausted, but he didn't expect the opponent to be more patient than he imagined.The opponent actually insisted on staying out of battle for three months, except for defending the city every day, it was training, and it seemed that he didn't take himself seriously at all.A meteor landed last night. Although it had nothing to do with me, the Han army sent a signal that the sky was going to punish me.

Rumors in the army suddenly increased and could no longer be suppressed.Many grassland people said that Changshengtian had abandoned Xianbei, while Zhang Chun's soldiers said that Zhang Chun proclaimed himself emperor and angered the heavens, and now they sent meteors to punish him.There were more and more rumors, but Qiu Liju couldn't stop them.Now there is only one battle, to prove everything with facts.Yesterday the Han army sent a decisive battle letter, saying that the decisive battle will be at noon tomorrow.

Well, it was finally the day. Qiu Liju felt that he still had an army of 16, and the opponent would not exceed [-]. He still had a chance to win, "Let's wait for the decisive battle." Qiu Liju said silently in his heart.

That night, the camp of the Han army was very quiet, and no one was making noise. It seemed to outsiders that most of the Han army had rested.But in fact, everyone is on standby, as if they are ready to go to war at any time.

In the big tent, Gongsun Xu was reading military books, while Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei and others were all sitting, no one spoke, and many people were resting their eyes with their eyes closed, preparing for the next big battle.When the ugly time was about to pass, Xu Rong walked in and saluted Gongsun Xu: "Everything is ready, please give the order to General Shaoping." At this moment, everyone in the big tent stood up and looked at Gongsun Xu solemnly.Gongsun Xu put down the bamboo slips and said lightly: "Assemble, let's go."

All the generals went out to get ready. "Soldiers, deceitful way. I want to blame you for being too naive." Gongsun Xu sneered.Since it was agreed that there will be a decisive battle at noon tomorrow, Xu Rong has already opened a door on the city wall during the day, and Qiu Liju is even more convinced that there will be a decisive battle tomorrow, so he did not send troops to harass him. .Qiu Liju also ordered everyone to rest well and prepare for tomorrow's battle. Of course, he also specially left 1 people outside to defend against the Han army's sneak attack.

When Xu Rong came to the gate of the city, soldiers were already standing outside the gate, and there were still soldiers in the city leading their horses out. No one made a sound. The front of the army outside the city was not soldiers, but [-] strong cows. They were all dumbfounded and their ears were deafened.

This is tonight's killer feature.With a wave of Xu Rong's hand, all the tails of the oxen were set on fire. There was kerosene and some fuel on the tails. The [-] cows ran forward madly with their backs burning. It was only five miles away, and after a while, the [-] Xianbei soldiers on duty at night felt the ground shaking. It seemed that a large number of cavalry came to attack the camp. Master Wan shouted: "Enemy attack, all charge up with me."

After shouting, he took the lead and rushed forward, but the next moment he was stunned, there were no enemies at all, and all came were cows, cows with red eyes.Commander Wan was trampled into flesh without a chance to regret it, and the same happened to ten thousand soldiers.

Qiu Liju heard the screams as soon as he put on his armor when he heard the horn, and he was dumbfounded when he left the camp. A group of mad cows destroyed his camp, and the soldiers had no time to escape.Qiu Liju knew that he had been tricked and that he had lost, "Escape as much as you can."

Qiu Liju thought to himself: "As long as you are alive, you still have a chance." Qiu Liju wanted to escape, but Gongsun Xu didn't give him this chance, and Gongsun Xu was accompanying Gongsun Zan on the mountain watching the other party's camp on fire.

Gongsun Zan nodded and said, "That's it." Gongsun Xu waved to the messenger, and the drums sounded immediately, and the Han army at the gate of the city, led by their generals, rushed to the rebel camp. "Xu'er, you are well-known throughout the world in this battle." Gongsun Zan nodded while stroking Gongsun Xu.Gongsun Xu looked at the front with stern eyes and did not speak.

The rebel camp can be said to be in a mess now, with wailing sounds and the sound of weapons colliding one after another.Zhang Fei rode his horse and shouted: "Don't let Qiu Liju go, capture the traitor Zhang Chun alive." The Han army soldiers also shouted: "Don't let Qiu Liju go..."

At that time, Gongsun Xu walked into the camp of the rebel army. One hundred thousand young and strong men were arranging for the prisoners. These 10 people could not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but it was more than enough to capture the prisoners.Qiu Liju fled with only [-] personal guards, and the rest were either killed or captured. Zhang Chun was picked off by Zhang Fei in the rebellion and is now tied up in the camp. Zhang Fei was still chasing a small group of fleeing cavalry.

Gongsun Xu is already gathering troops.Zhao Yun led 1 cavalry to pursue Qiu Liju, but he has not returned yet.However, according to the report of the assassin, about [-] enemy troops fled towards Liaodong. Gongsun continued to gather troops for these [-] people. He planned to take Liaodong directly this time. Anyway, the imperial court can’t control this place now. Instead of letting Gongsun If Kang is here to be the emperor of the land and fight against him, he might as well capture this place as his rear.

Gongsun Xu did not tell his father what he thought. After Xu Rong gathered his [-] young men, Gongsun Xu asked his father for another [-] young men, many prisoners and most of the captured military supplies.After bidding farewell to Gongsun Zan, he set off towards Liaodong.

Gongsun Zan didn't ask why. Since his son didn't want to talk about it, he didn't have to ask. After going through this incident, he felt that his son had grown up and was often more sophisticated than himself in dealing with things. This made Gongsun Zan very pleased, "My Gongsun Zan The family also has someone who is not a general, and the heavens are so lucky." Gongsun Zan looked at his son's back and said, "The whole army attacked and killed Xianbei's lair."

On the way, Gongsun Xu joined Zhang Fei and headed towards Liaodong.Along the way, one hundred thousand young and strong were continuously trained through the march. As for the captives, they were always watched. Among these captives, there were about 20 to [-] young and strong.There are about [-] women and children.Gongsun Xu didn't want the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.Looking at these people, Gongsun Xu sighed in his heart: "This is my capital."

Two months later, Gongsun Xu led his army to Liaodong. As for the 7000 fleeing rebels, they were wiped out, [-] were captured, and the rest were all killed.

In the camp, all the soldiers of the Han army stood behind Gongsun Xu. Gongsun Xu rode on a horse and said to the Xianbei captives, "Tell me, do you want to live, do you want to live?"

No one answered. The point is that no one dared to answer. Although this young general on horseback was only less than 14 years old, he was the one who defeated the grassland hero Qiu Liju.All the captives thought they were going to die, but now they were asked if they wanted to live. How would they answer? Who doesn’t want to live? The question is how to live.

After Gongsun Xu asked twice, finally a brave man stood up and replied that he wanted to live. Gongsun Xu looked at him and kept looking at this person. The Xianbei man looked at Gongsun Xu's eyes and felt weak, and his legs were trembling.

"Okay." Gongsun Xu said suddenly, I will make you the chief of ten thousand people now, and quickly select 1 people. Although I don't know why, but I can survive and command ten thousand people, which is enough to make me excited.

However, some clever people vaguely guessed something, and one after another people expressed their willingness to Gongsunxu. After selecting seven ten thousand heads in total, Gongsunxu said to them: "I can be rich and rich, have all the money, and have good clothes and food. I can share with you all." , but you have to exchange your loyalty, otherwise"

All seven knelt down and said: "I would like to serve the general with my life." "Okay, go down now, eat and drink enough, and attack the city tomorrow."

The next day, outside Liaodong City, Gongsun Kang didn't know where the enemy came from, and was about to send someone down to inquire, when he suddenly saw tens of thousands of people lined up in the city. It was a Han, a young general from a white robe and silver family was riding on a horse, surrounded by a group of big men, suddenly, the young general shouted: "Take this city, eat enough wine and meat, one person retreats, and the entire army will be killed."

After being starved for so many days and suffering so much, Jin had a full meal yesterday. This is what all Xianbei soldiers thought. They only ate a meal that was [-]% full today, so they had to fight for a full meal and come back. .Several ten thousand commanders took the lead and rushed out. The soldiers behind were carrying ladders and weapons and all rushed forward. Xu Rong commanded [-] Han army archers to shoot under the city, covering for the Xianbei soldiers. The Xianbei soldiers thought they would become cannon fodder , Now it seems that this little general still regards himself as a human being. With this kind of thinking, the Xianbei soldiers fought even more fiercely.An hour later, the city was broken and Gongsun Xu led his army into the city.

Two days later, Liaodong was completely taken down, and the forces that shouldn't exist were wiped out.In the prefect's mansion, Gongsun Xu was talking to Xu Rong: "Do you understand everything?" Gongsun Xu asked
"Don't worry, my lord, everything in my humble position is given by my lord, and I will definitely take care of everything my lord entrusts me with." Xu Rong knelt down and said.

"Okay, then I will leave this place to you. I will definitely come back for three years at the most. What you have to do is to develop your strength, raise horses, and train soldiers. The nearby Xianbei and Puyu are all targets of attack. In addition to forging weapons In addition, a large amount of resources in the vicinity must be exploited. Take this booklet, which contains everything I told you to do. I told you yesterday. If you don’t understand, you can find someone to discuss it with. Comfort me, many of them are good at forging weapons, herding, etc., these are our foundations."

Gongsun Xu helped Xu Rong up and said, "Also, do those Xianbei people know how to solve it?"

"I know, using the barbarians to control the barbarians will never give them a chance to make trouble. I will raise these wolves for the Lord."

"Okay, it's all up to you, no matter how difficult it is, you must persevere"

After staying for a month, Gongsun Xu took Zhang Fei and five thousand cavalry to join his father.Before leaving, Gongsun Xu glanced at Liaodong City and thought to himself: "I am here under heaven. Xu Rong, I believe in you." Zhang Fei followed Gongsun Xu all the time. They asked Gongsun Xu why he did this. His thinking is no longer what he can keep up with.Watching the army go back and thinking about the dead soldiers, Gongsun Xu suddenly sang: "Wars rise from the mountains and look north, dragons rise from the horses and neigh, the sword is like frost, and the heart is like the boundless water of the Yellow River..."

Watching the army go away, Xu Rong heard the conversation with Gongsun Xu that night on the top of the city. Xu Rong sighed in his heart: "This is my Xu Rong's lord, this is my Xu Rong's life, so ordinary. After so many years, I finally don’t have to be so lonely anymore.”
