Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 362 Continue to Patrol 1
The situation on Jizhou's side changed too fast, and Gongsun Xu's side couldn't understand the situation here in time.When Guo Tu privately sent troops to stop Guo Jia and his party, Gongsun Xu was still busy with the matter of the prisoners.

Regarding the situation on Guo Jia's side, Gongsun Xu really couldn't take care of it anymore, but Guo Jia didn't just eat for nothing.When the soldiers and horses from Jizhou had just left the city, he also received the news. After thinking about the countermeasures, Guo Jia immediately sent two messengers, one was to ask Guan Yu for help, and the other was to Jizhou. Explain the situation.

Gongsun Xu can only hand over Jizhou to Guo Jia and Guan Yu. Huang Zhong has already traded all the supplies, cattle, sheep and horses with the first batch of captives. He is now on the way back with escort, and Xu Huang leads the servants to escort the second road. The captives went to the depths of the grassland. As far as the current situation is concerned, things here are going well.

The Xiongnu tribe intercepted on the other side of Hetao is still honest now. With Xu Shu watching over there, they have no signs of rebellion for the time being. Moreover, the remaining forces of the Huns are still afraid to stretch their claws here. The Huns are only in that part The remaining soldiers and horses are said to have fled to Mobei, but where they are now, Gongsun Xu does not know.

Tai Shici finally traced two groups of Xiongnu soldiers and horses marching towards Mobei. At that time, because they were too deep behind the enemy, Tai Shici had no choice but to give up the plan to continue the pursuit.In fact, what he didn't know was that the ones going to Mobei were indeed two Huns soldiers and horses, and they were one in front and one behind, and they were still in a hostile relationship with each other.

As for the mysterious Hun army that abducted the Hun cavalry on the battlefield before, at this moment, it honestly controlled its strength within the vacuum zone between the Huns and the Qiang grasslands. Facing Wen Chou's repeated provocations, this A Hun army showed no signs of discontent, and they all retreated further west.

If you go further to the west, you will enter the territory of the Qiang people, where there are mixed fish and dragons, and the relationship between the various tribes of the Qiang people is unclear. At the beginning, Xu Shu and his army had no choice but to pass through the territory of the Qiang people, but they actually ate a lot at that time Unfortunately, it is indeed inappropriate for the northern border army to provoke a strong enemy, so Wen Chou can only lead the army to guard there and stare at the hostile forces in the west.

When Huang Zhong escorted all the cattle, sheep and horses back, Gongsun Xu had already made plans to move out of the camp. The inspection of the grassland had to continue now, and it had been delayed for so long. Everyone will feel that the Northern Xinjiang Army has no successor.

With these supplements of cattle, sheep and horses, Gongsun Xu's logistics can be regarded as supplemented. Marching on the grassland is all about speed. Moved slowly like a snail.

This time, Huang Zhong successfully completed the task of the transaction. To be precise, Huang Zhong overfulfilled the task. On the way, he attacked two tribes together with those captives and robbed a lot of good things. After seeing Huang Zhong's bravery, they didn't dare to bargain with Huang Zhong, and they all rushed to send the good things to Huang Zhong's tent.

Regarding these, Huang Zhong did not hide anything, he reported everything to Gongsun Xu clearly.For the thousands of cattle, sheep and horses that Huang Zhong voluntarily handed over, Gongsun Xu just waved his hand and refused. This is what Huang Zhong deserves. Well, Huang Zhong has been guarding the Chinese army for Gongsun Xu, and basically has no such opportunity to go out to earn extra money. If his cattle, sheep and horses are confiscated, it will really be unreasonable.

After the army broke out again, the tribes on the grassland who were still watching continued to retreat.They dare not provoke the Northern Army, but as long as they retreat far enough, the Northern Army should not take the initiative to trouble them. Moreover, the current posture of the Northern Army cannot show the strength of the Northern Army. After all, these people still want to continue to wait and see.

During the march, [-] soldiers were selected as the vanguard to explore the road ahead, and the follow-up soldiers and horses followed at a distance of [-] miles. Gongsun Xu was watching the army by the side of the road, and Huang Zhong and Dian Wei were waiting beside him.

"Han Sheng, according to the current marching speed, how long will it take for our army to patrol around?" Gongsun Xu asked looking ahead.

"At least ten days, as long as half a month, the premise is that there are no large-scale enemy troops blocking the way." Huang Zhong replied: "If we can deal with the prisoners in the general earlier, our army will march faster. And , Those family members who accompanied the army should also find a way to resettle them, and it is not a solution to keep them with us."

Gongsun Xu replied little by little: "Yes, the family members of the army should be settled properly. I have decided to send out a troop tomorrow to escort these family members to Hetao, where it is already our territory, and their safety depends on that." There will be no problem.

We have to run a circle on the edge of our own territory, and then join Bujun in the west. Then, we have to ask what the force in the west wants to do. If they want to fight against us, I don’t mind going to war with them. If they don't want to fight against us, then they should stay away and don't cause trouble for me in the west. "

Hearing that Gongsun Xu was so domineering, Huang Zhong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My lord is so angry. If they really dare to make trouble, I will lead the army to be the master and be fair. The remnants of the Xiongnu have been wandering on the grassland for so many years. Do you still want to find out something? Can't the wind and waves succeed?"

Huang Zhong's behavior style is also a bit domineering, but this is not a bad thing. If you want to gain a foothold in the grassland, if you are not domineering, who will take you seriously?

"These captives, it's almost enough to escort them again. When there is news from Gongming, send these captives away." Gongsun Xu squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of the captive camp and said, "By the way, Han Sheng, I'm afraid you are There is no chance to pacify these remnants of the Huns. Do you still remember the matter I mentioned to you before the battle? Now that the river loop has been taken down, this matter should be put on the agenda.

In order to stabilize the rear, our Northern Frontier Army should not go to war like this in the past two years. The Hetao side needs to be developed and the refugees need to be resettled. All of these will take time. This Northern Expedition will probably consume the savings of our army in the past few years. It's half of it, we can't afford this kind of consumption.

In the future, we will have to compete with the heroes of the world. If we are not ready by then, I am afraid we will be tricked by others. If we want to eat big, we must have good teeth. How about it, Han Sheng, before I What did you think about what I told you? Now is the time to make a decision. "

"Sail out to sea?" Huang Zhong looked up at the sky and said, "A good man was born in troubled times, so he should lift up the three-foot green front and make an indomitable achievement. Now the lord has given me the opportunity to expand the territory and become famous all over the world." , How could I miss it? My lord, I thought about it at the beginning, and I asked my lord to take care of my family on my behalf."

"It's not a trivial matter. As I said, your family is my family." Gongsun Xu laughed and said, "Besides, I plan to use these two years to let Huang Xu study hard in the lecture hall. I don't want my companion to be a fool.

No matter how strong the military force is, it will not be able to influence the overall situation. After all, a peerless general like Lu Bu is not driven by those aristocratic families and tyrannical powers. Hehe, my Northern Xinjiang Army seems to have a large number of soldiers at present, but who can say that after decades What will we do.

If we want to keep the family business in our hands, we must keep our army strong. Among them, the role of generals is indispensable.I'm already preparing to build a lecture hall. At that time, as long as they are qualified generals and soldiers in the army, or other passionate men who aspire to join the army, they will all have to study in the lecture hall. "

"My lord is a great talent, and the end will be far behind." Huang Zhong replied with a face full of joy: "Ordinary people like us only see the war in front of us, and only care about what we should do in the next two years. I have already thought about the way out after decades, and with the Lord here, the Northern Border Army will continue to prosper."

Dian Wei next to him also nodded his head in agreement. All along, Dian Wei's force was strong enough to rank among the top three generals in the northern border army. Many times, even Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun dared not say that they could suppress Dian Wei.

But what about possessing such bravery?After all, Dian Wei could not become the commander-in-chief of one party. Perhaps the Huben Army under his command was the most elite existence in the Northern Border Army, or perhaps his duty was the top priority among the many major events of the Northern Border Army.

But this can't make Dian Wei feel sorry, which man doesn't want to command thousands of troops and horses to gallop on the battlefield.No matter how brave the general is, he cannot escape the fate of being commanded by others.A person as brave as Lu Bu is just a pawn in the hands of others, without enough brains and resourcefulness, he will still be a coolie after all.

Many times, Dian Wei thought that if he had been taught well in the past, if he had a good family background, then when people mentioned him today, they would definitely not just praise his bravery.

However, Dian Wei was just thinking about it, and he also understood that a person's energy is always limited. If it wasn't because he couldn't study Chinese, and he didn't devote all his energy to practicing martial arts, I'm afraid, there would be no Dian Wei today.

Although there are many regrets, it does not mean that Dian Wei is dissatisfied with his current life. Being able to continue with Gongsun, in his opinion, is the most glorious morale in his life. I also learned a lot of strategies for commanding troops from Gongsun Xu's side. It is not a problem for him to command less than [-] troops.

Gongsun Xu has been planning the construction of the lecture hall for many years. In the past, he had insufficient financial resources, and there was no such condition to allow him to prepare for the construction of the lecture hall. In terms of developing production in the territory, the people in the northern border live and work in peace and contentment, and the grain harvest is bumper every year. These are the prerequisites for the construction of the martial arts hall.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Xu is only willing to bring up this matter now. After the Northern Expedition is over, Northern Xinjiang will not go south on a large scale for the time being. The real war should be to be conquered overseas by the navy commanded by Huang Zhong. Gongsun Xu intends to use these two years to rectify Look inside.
