Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 37
Seeing that the army's morale was ready, Gongsun Xu rode his horse out of the formation, pointed at the Xianbei army formation with a peerless spear in his hand, and shouted: "Xianbei native dogs are vulnerable to a single blow, and the generals only know how to bully the small with the big and bully the few with more, isn't that right?" Beheaded one by one by my soldiers.

Tan Shihuai, what kind of prairie overlord are you, but you still have the courage of your youth, you dare to come out and fight with me, it doesn't matter if I let you have a hand because you are old, you are almost buried He dared to come out and cause trouble, and he was not afraid of losing his prestige, but he still dared to fight against generals. "

Zhang Fei saw that even Gongsun Xu was so impulsively shouting, so he felt that this must be something to watch, so he yelled at the Xianbei army camp: "Xianbei native dogs dare to fight, grandpa wants to fight ten. "

Wen Chou saw that Zhang Fei was causing trouble again, so he couldn't pretend to be so cowardly. After Zhang Fei finished calling Wen Chou, he shouted arrogantly: "I want to fight twenty, whoever comes first."

Although Zhao Yun and others felt that Gongsun Xu's behavior was a bit abnormal, they were relieved when they thought that they had suppressed the opponent's 2 elite soldiers with [-] people.

All the soldiers in the Xianbei army camp were furious, and almost everyone was so angry that they were full of anger. Helian even asked for a fight directly. What is in front of me has nothing to do with me.

Even He Lian's invitation to fight Tan Shihuai was ignored. The soldiers under Tan Shihuai's command did not understand what was wrong with their leader. According to past practice, it was impossible for Tan Shihuai to allow anyone to act like this in front of him. Arrogant, not to mention that today the other party beheaded Tan Shihuai's closest guard chief.

No matter who met it, it would be impossible to swallow this breath, but Tan Shihuai just looked at Gongsun Xu and the Han army officers and soldiers expressionlessly, as if observing and thinking.Helian couldn't understand what his father was thinking.

Just when Gongsun Xu and others were about to scold the battle again, Tan Shihuai suddenly ordered: "Go, invite the Han army to fight, and say that both sides will send out five hundred elite soldiers to fight each other. With a thousand horses as the bet, no matter who Whoever loses wins, that's all for today."

After finishing speaking, he randomly selected five hundred-man teams to invite the battle, and the messengers rushed to deliver the message after receiving the order. Here, Gongsun Xu heard that the other party was going to fight, a sneer flashed across his mouth, and he immediately ordered from his own soldiers. There are 500 people at the midpoint.

Xu Rong was ordered to press the formation, and then Gongsun continued to order Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang and Zhang Fei, Wen Chou and Guan Yu, who had just played, to fight.When Tan Shihuai saw Gongsun Xu going to fight in person, there was a hint of clarity in his eyes.

The challenged teams were less than a hundred paces apart, and immediately rushed to fight after forming their formations. Gongsun Xu and himself had a total of seven peerless generals, plus five hundred brave and skilled warriors. As soon as the battle was fought, several generals led dozens of people to disrupt the opponent's formation.

Gongsun Xu single-handedly rushed into the opponent's formation and started killing. The 500 members of the Xianbei army were randomly selected, and they were not selected from the elite of the Xianbei army, so their combat effectiveness could only be considered average at best.

There is no reason to lose against the luxury camp specially matched by Gongsun Xu.

Within a quarter of an hour of the battle, the Xianbei army was in disarray, and the defeat was obvious. Many soldiers began to flee, but Gongsun Xu did not stop there. The soldiers followed suit one after another, and the remaining Xianbei army of less than one hundred were all shot and killed.

Gongsun Xu himself shot and killed 26 people. After knowing that all the opponents had fallen, Gongsun Xu danced and smiled and said: "The army is a soldier, but a general is not a general. The Xianbei Hugou is nothing more than that. Why should I be afraid, come here, come and prepare to rush!" formation."

Zhao Yun, Yanliang and others heard that Gongsun Xu wanted the whole army to press up and wanted to dissuade them, because although the Han army has always been superior since the battle, the Han army has always been at a disadvantage. The entire army may be wiped out, because the Xianbei camp is nearby.

Xu Rong immediately dissuaded Gongsun Xu from returning to the camp. Gongsun Xu, who was in high spirits, could not listen to Xu Rong's dissuasion, and still insisted on fighting. , Our army is too small, and we may be ambushed in the meeting."

Zhao Yun and others immediately dissuaded him, and Gongsun Xu couldn't continue to persevere when everyone dissuaded him, but he was very angry that his interest was swept away.

He beat Xu Rong with a whip and cursed: "Slave dog, I promoted you to be a general to fight for me, not to spoil my interest. I don't care about you this time because of your past achievements. Let’s not take this as an example, hmph, you have to remember that there is only one commander in the army, and only what I say counts.”

After speaking, he galloped away.Zhao Yun and others dismounted and helped Xu Rong up to comfort him, but Xu Rong cried, "My lord has lost his heart, and the outcome of this battle is unpredictable. We still have to persuade him." Zhao Yun and others nodded in agreement, after all, recently Gongsun Xu was too smooth, which made him underestimate the enemy.

After Gongsun Xu got a thousand horses, he was so overjoyed that he didn't even bother to clean up the battlefield. He only ordered the troops to return to the camp after the corpses of the fallen soldiers were packed up. Tan Shihuai had been observing the formation and morale of the Han army, and more importantly, he I have been observing the behavior of Gongsun Xu and others.

Seeing Gongsun Xu go back like this, Tan Shihuai showed a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, and muttered in his mouth: "As expected, I'm still too young, otherwise I really can't find your weakness."

In the middle of the night, in the Xianbei camp, except for the assassins and patrolling sergeants scattered outside, most of the soldiers were resting, but the commander's camp was brightly lit, and the sound of quarrels kept coming out. He was thinking, with no expression on his face, as if the quarrel in front of him had nothing to do with him.

He Lian and Amuri stood behind Tan Shihuai. They did not join in the quarrel of these tribal leaders, but the leaders of the fleeing faction were taken down by them one by one.

At this point in the battle, many people no longer have any hope of winning. Originally, many leaders of the Xianbei Army came here to show off. If Tan Shihuai wins, they can share the spoils or fight the dogs in the water , if they lose, they must be the fastest runners.

The Xianbei coalition has been maintained by Tan Shihuai's personal prestige since its formation until now. Last time, several tribal leaders wanted to replace them, but they were eliminated by Tan Shihuai with the help of Gongsun Xu. Now there is another group People jumped out to make a fuss, and Tan Shihuai was also thinking about how to get rid of the parasites at both ends of these first rats. The quarrel had been going on for an hour.

Due to Tan Shihuai's indifference, the people below became more and more noisy. About one-third of the people suggested a truce and went back to the tribe to make plans, and the remaining two-thirds insisted on fighting again.

Seeing that the quarrel was almost over, Tan Shihuai finally opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze swept over the restless elements in the big tent. As long as the people he glanced at did not dare to make any more noise, although the grassland eagle Old, but the prestige and arrogance are still there, no one dares to disobey Tan Shihuai at this time.

After all, Tan Shihuai is still in charge of the life and death power of the Xianbei tribe. In his eyes, these restless elements are nothing more than clowns, and it is only a blink of an eye to kill or cut. The son was able to take over the power smoothly, so Tan Shihuai kept holding back.

After Tan Shihuai glanced around, there was no more sound in the big tent.Those leaders who just insisted on the truce regretted it now, and now they remembered that as long as Tan Shihuai survived, there would be no chance for them to make trouble.It's all because I forgot for a while and said something that shouldn't be said. I just hope that Tan Shihuai can still think about the overall situation as before and not care about them.

While everyone was thinking about each other, Tan Shihuai said slowly: "Now there are many people who have lost the blood of the grassland boys. After losing a few games, they thought that our coalition army would be completely defeated. Now I will tell you.

In this battle, my Xianbei army will definitely win. The previous losses were deliberately done by me, in order to make the Han army arrogant and get carried away. Now, the old man's goal has been achieved.

Of course, our losses are a bit big these days, and even my personal bodyguard, Blood Bear, went too, which was beyond the old man's expectation.I know that many of you still don't understand, and now I'm here to explain to you one by one. "

Tan Shihuai paused for a moment, taking in all the expressions of the crowd, and then continued: "You must have heard of Gongsun Xu before this battle. It is said that he is a rare young general in the Han Dynasty. Cavalry general Huo Qubing is on par.

His father, Gongsun Zan, was the governor of Youzhou. We also fought against him in the past, and we ended up in an unbeatable situation.

Gongsun Xu's ability is far superior to that of his father. We can't take this man lightly because of his extremely high talent. Very calm.

Xu Rong, the general under his command, must be familiar to everyone. In just a few years, he has shocked Liaodong. a country.

Regarding the combination of these two people, I am not absolutely sure of defeating them. Xu Rong is experienced and calm, and Gongsun Xu is brave and fierce. If these two people join forces sincerely, we should retire.All of these are obvious to everyone, but there are a few things you haven't noticed.

First, a few years ago, Xu Rong was just a pawn in the Han army. He had the opportunity to command the army after Gongsun Xu promoted him. It stands to reason that Xu Rong should know how to repay his kindness, but with the accumulation of Xu Rong's military exploits and his own The improvement of prestige in the army, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no other thoughts, just like some people here, what do you think? "

After Tan Shihuai said this, he deliberately paused, and there was a lot of discussion in the big tent. Most of the leaders were talking about how loyal they were to Tan Shihuai, etc., with sincere expressions on their faces. Of course, What actually happened is unknown, but Tan Shihuai didn't care about this, he just needed these people to put on a pose.

Then, Tan Shihuai continued: "Since the year before last, I have been sending people to spread rumors in the Sanhan area that Xu Rong has a heart of self-reliance, and now it should be effective.

Second, although Xu Rong is experienced, but Gongsun Xu is too young, what would young people do?After a big victory, he will definitely be proud and complacent, especially when the Xianbei army is nothing to worry about in his eyes, you should have seen it today.

Gongsun Xu first sent people to single out, and then sent people to fight. He was overjoyed when he won a thousand horses. He was obviously still a child. After winning two games in a row, he tried to attack our army with a mere [-] cavalry. Dazzled by the victory, I have lost my basic judgment.

Xu Rong stopped him but ended up being whipped and scolded. Gongsun Xu's behavior would at least chill Xu Rong's heart. If things go on like this, the two of them must be at odds. If the generals are at odds, how much do you think the Han army still has? Odds? "

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, Tan Shihuai did not say that they really didn't realize it, and now they discovered the mystery after Tan Shihuai explained it in detail, which is exactly in response to the Han Chinese saying "Fortune comes with misfortune". Reliance, misfortune and blessing. How many people can figure out the mystery in it."

After Tan Shihuai and others digested the information, they continued: "At the beginning, the Han army insisted not to fight. I thought Gongsun Xu was really young and old. Now it seems that it is just Xu Rong's plan for him. Xu Rong can be so calm.

However, the current situation is beyond Xu Rong's control, and Gongsun Xu obviously feels that Xu Rong's position in the army is not conducive to his rule. It can be seen from what Gongsun Xu said on the battlefield today, it is a pity that Xu Rong Not tactful enough, or he will end up miserable sooner or later.

There is another point that none of you have noticed. Gongsun Xu recruited the grassland servants to make up for his own inferior strength, but foreign cavalry is so easy to control, especially in the case of unfair treatment. In order to stabilize the morale of the servants, Gongsun Xu , even rewarded these people in large quantities,

And so far, the servant army has not confronted us head-on, and they can get a lot of rewards without working. This makes many Han soldiers jealous, but Gongsun Xu didn't realize it. I doubt whether Gongsun Xu is Confucian. Read too many books, or else you are stupid.

The reason why the servant army can still be controlled by him is because he is still in the upper hand. As long as we fight hard, the [-] servant army will be the last straw to crush Gongsun Xu. The old man has already sent a lot of people Infiltrated, as long as the time comes, the servant army will be used by us instead.

At that time, even if he wanted to cry, it would be too late.All of the above are the reasons for our victory. Presumably there are capable people and strangers in the Han army who can see it, but can Gongsun Xu listen to it now?
Even Huo Qubing was just a young and energetic doll back then, and he had to rely on his uncle to protect him. Now that Gongsun Xu is alone, can he worry so much?So everyone, don't worry any more, go back and comfort your soldiers. Within a month, the Han army will be defeated. "

As soon as Tan Shihuai finished speaking, everyone was relieved, the overlord of the grassland was still there, and no one dared to give birth to another heart.

Just when the analysis was in full swing in the big tent of the Xianbei army, in the big tent of the Han army, Gongsun Xu, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu, and Xu Rong were drinking wine and eating roasted whole meat in Gongsun Xu's tent. sheep, and at the same time discuss how to fight next.

All four of them had tacit expressions on their faces. If Tan Shihuai could see this scene, he would probably sigh: "The Han people are cunning."
