Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 43
The imperial court's rewards were quickly conveyed to Gongsun Xu's army. Although the rewards for Yan Liang and other generals have not been specified yet, as the lord, Gongsun Xu has once again been promoted to the ranks, and the days when these subordinates will be promoted will be far behind. .

However, the imperial court was also stingy, except for Gongsun Xu's promotion to the ranks, the aid of military supplies was not mentioned at all.I have to say that Han Lingdi is still
He is quite stingy, and wants the horse to run fast and not to eat grass. Presumably this is why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty strongly supported Gongsun Xu.and
Under the pressure of his ministers, Emperor Han Ling rejected Gongsun Xu's request for the Youzhou Army to expand its army by [-], and finally decided that it could only expand its army by [-].

, to defend the frontier.Emperor Han Ling knew in his heart that if there were too many troops in Youzhou, it was very likely that it would become overwhelming.
Because Youzhou is on the frontier, it cannot be controlled by the court.

Leaving aside the imperial court's arrangements for Gongsun Xu, it is said that not only did Gongsun Zan not smile when he received the news of the grassland victory,

Instead, he sighed deeply, which puzzled the people around Gongsun Zan, and Gongsun Zan didn't explain it to anyone.he shut himself in the study

After one night, he decided that he would go to the grassland in person. He felt that he should have a good talk with his son about some things. Mu Xiuyu Lin
, Gongsun Zan understands the truth that the wind will destroy it, especially when the foundation is not deep.

However, his son has made great contributions, and Gongsun Zan still has to support him vigorously. The next morning when he received the battle report, Gongsun Zan was fighting with him.
The people under his command discussed the issue of food, grass, military equipment and the deployment of troops. In order to consolidate the achievements of Gongsun Xu, Gongsun Zan went to Youzhou to

In the name of recruiting young and strong, 5 people were recruited. These people were all recruited in accordance with the requirements of conscription. In the land of Youyan, there have been many knights since ancient times.male
Sun Xu's great achievements in battle also greatly increased You Yan's enthusiasm for joining the army. Many people even went directly to the grassland spontaneously.

Of course, there is also a lot of support from the Liaodong and Sanhan regions. After all, Gongsun Xu has been operating there for many years and put a lot of effort into it.

Grassland, Han army camp, this is No. 20 days after the war, and the shouts of sergeants can be heard from time to time in the Han army camp.this
Gongsun Xu has been training soldiers for a few days, and the eastern part of Xianbei must be in chaos now. Gongsun Xu wants to take down the eastern part of Xianbei in one fell swoop.
Ministry, and then left a troop of their own in the eastern grassland of Xianbei to guard the rear for themselves. The deeper part of this approach is that the public
Sun Xu wants to spread the turmoil in the eastern part of Xianbei to other places by virtue of his current advantages, so as to cause chaos in the grassland.

Of course, the eastern part of Xianbei will once again move toward unification or be occupied by other forces. No matter what, the gains outweigh the losses for Gongsun Xu, so
Therefore, sending troops is inevitable.

The sixth general of Zhao Yun Yanliang has already trained [-] captives under his command, plus each army has [-] Han cavalry and [-] luggage
Soldiers, now each has nearly 2 people under his command, all of which are pure cavalry troops. Although the number is not large, they must not be underestimated.five servants
With the addition of Chief Wan who joined the army and Murong Tiexiong, there were also 5 servants.As the morale of the army slowly improved, Gongsun Xu knew that

, is getting closer and closer to the day when I send troops again.

Gongsun Xu was also very busy during this time, so he ran out to take a stroll while things were almost busy today.walk, walk, walk

A little near Jiangtai, because many Han children came to join the army during this period, and the reinforcements from Liaodong had arrived, Gongsun Xu went to
Ordered to set up a general station in the army, each of the six generals in the army will be in charge, and each person will be on duty for one day in turn. Today is Zhao Yun's duty

class.Gongsun Xu saw that many soldiers gathered around the platform to watch the fun, and there would be cheers from time to time, so he felt excited
, and walked forward.Since all the soldiers' attention was on the commanding platform, no one could notice the existence of Gongsun Xu.
Squeezing forward, it turned out that Zhao Yun was competing with a young man in a white robe, holding a spear, two halberds in his waist, and a bow on his back.
Seeing the two of you coming and going and fighting back and forth, Gongsun Xu was also taken aback. The person who can fight Zhao Yun without losing is definitely the one who will never lose in history.

Leaving a name, it shouldn't be an unknown young general, but the famous generals in Youzhou are basically under Gongsun Xu's account. Could it be that they came from other places?
Fang ran here?Gongsun Xu couldn't figure it out for a while.

The two of them played against each other for almost a hundred rounds, and Zhao Yunzao hadn't gained the advantage yet, and he didn't feel tired watching the opponent, Zhao Yun knew that

Comparing it further, I am afraid that there will be no more than two hundred rounds, and I will not be able to win the opponent.Seeing that the other party is about the same age as him, and he also wears a long bag on his back.

Bow, Zhao Yun waved a shot to force the opponent back and said: "A strong man is good at martial arts, Zilong admires it, but it's meaningless if we continue to fight.
Now that the weapons have been contested, let's compare how we ride and shoot. "

"Please enlighten me, General." The young man didn't delay, Zhao Yun was able to fight him for a hundred rounds, and he still had a faint upper hand.
This made the young man very admired. After all the years since his debut, he had never encountered such an opponent. He was also good at riding and shooting.
, Young people have long had the idea of ​​​​competition.

The two men rode horses and stood on the east and west sides of Dianjiangtai respectively. A sergeant had already set up a target, and when a loud arrow shot into the sky, the two men

At the same time, he rode his horse and started to run. Zhao Yun fired three arrows at the same time and hit the bull's-eye at the same time. Such a sharp shot naturally won the applause of the onlookers.
But this young man is not weak either. He uses chain arrows to shoot three arrows in succession. The speed is quite fast, and the three arrows are also shot separately.
Hitting the bullseye, the two of them were almost at the middle of the point after the first round. At this time, Zhao Yun suddenly turned sideways, first to the left

He shot three arrows with his hand and immediately shot three arrows with his right hand. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun turned his bow left and right. Before all the soldiers had time to applaud, this

The young man next to him also made a left and right bow like Zhao Yun, and his six arrows hit the bull's-eye.In the blink of an eye, both of them ran out of the specified range.
At that time, Zhao Yun shot first and shot back, and the three arrows hit the bull's-eye again. The young man here was a little slower, but he also shot Zhao Yun.

There was also a reflexive return shot, and all three arrows hit the bull's-eye.The ability of the two to ride and shoot is also partly equal.The onlookers cheered loudly, so
Looking at the entire Youzhou Army, there are absolutely no more than ten people who can do it.Normally, I can only go out with Zhao Yun or Huang Zhong
Only when performing missions can I have the opportunity to experience this kind of riding and shooting. Of course, Gongsun Xu can also do it, but he is the coach, and generally he will not personally
Go to the battlefield.Therefore, only in terms of riding and shooting, the generals in the army are the first to recommend Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun.

Gongsun Xu didn't expect that there were such talents hidden in his army, so he couldn't help applauding loudly.With sharp ears, Zhao Yun recognized that it was the public.
In Sun Xu's voice, he hastily got off his horse and pleaded guilty: "Zhao Yun saw the general, but he didn't know that the general was coming, so please forgive me." The soldiers around him recognized him.
Gongsun Xu knelt down and shouted: "See the general." "Hehe, Zilong, you are too out of touch. Don't worry about such trivial matters."

, All soldiers, please rise, strong men, please rise. "After finishing speaking, he went to help Zhao Yun and the strong man in white.

Gongsun Xu's approachability has long been used in the army. If Zhang Fei was here, he might have joked with Gongsun Xu.

But Zhao Yun always believed that there was a difference between superiority and inferiority, and he had to salute Gongsun Xu every time, but Gongsun Xu couldn't hold back him, so he had to let him go.But public
Sun Xu's behavior shocked the strong man in white.Gongsun Xu is now the General of Hussars, the Champion Marquis, and his subordinates

There are countless powerful soldiers in the army, but they will personally help him, a little-known civilian, how can this not shock the strong man in white.

When Gongsun Xu was helping him up, he was also secretly looking at this person, but he was wondering who this person was, so he asked: "No
Know how to call a strong man. "The strong man in white hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "Caomin Tai Shici, styled Ziyi, came to Youzhou by the order of his mother.

Serve the general. "

"This person turned out to be Tai Shici. I thought I missed him the last time I went to his house without meeting him. I didn't expect that he would send him off personally.

come to your door. "Gongsun Xu was also quite surprised: "Could this be the legendary explosion of character? " Gongsun Xu thought for a while and suddenly thought
It is recorded in history books that Tai Shici once committed a crime, and later avoided disaster in Youzhou. His mother knew that Tai Shici wanted to avoid disaster in Youzhou, so she let him

Come to the army to find Gongsun Xu, no matter how you say it, Gongsun Xu is kind to her.

After thinking it over clearly, Gongsun Xu smiled and said, "Ziyi deceived me. Could it be that he still can't trust me when he comes to our army?" Tai Shici heard this.
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Tai Shici's mother told Tai Shici to tell the truth, but Tai Shici couldn't lose face, so she concealed the truth about her body.

However, he did not want Gongsun Xu to see through him at a glance, so Tai Shici hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "Forgive the general, the grass people are indeed

He really committed a life lawsuit, and now he is being wanted and asked the general to give Ci a chance for the sake of his mother, and Ci is willing to take the crime and make meritorious service. "Finish

Tai Shici knelt down and begged Gongsun Xu for forgiveness.Gongsun Xu knew that Tai Shici was a bloody man, full of justice, and that his history
On the killing night, he couldn't bear to see the opponent oppressing the people, so Gongsun Xu helped Tai Shici up again and said, "Ziyi, don't panic. Xu will know naturally."

Dao Ziyi's difficulties, I believe in Ziyi. "Tai Shici was very moved by Gongsun Xu's two short sentences. He used to go to other troops
If you work, you will be ridiculed every time, just because you have a bad background, you are not a child of a family, no matter how capable you are, you can't get rid of it.
To get the approval of those in power, and even be jealous and assassinated, but I don't want to see Gongsun Xu for the first time, Gongsun Xu is so modest, Tai Shi

Ci secretly decided in her heart to follow, considering the other party as her lord.

After Gongsun Xu brought Tai Shici back to the big tent, he arranged for him to serve as a captain in his personal guard temporarily, and waited until Tai Shici made meritorious service.

For the promotion, Tai Shici also accepted it very movedly. After all, who would be convinced if he became a high-ranking official as soon as he came up?

Serving as a school lieutenant among the successive soldiers is already quite a favor, so how could Tai Shici complain.

Four days later, Gongsun Zan personally led [-] cavalry and [-] young men to escort food, grass and weapons to Gongsun Xu's camp.
He led his generals to greet them. As the governor of Youzhou, Gongsun Zan naturally wanted to appease these iron-blooded soldiers.
Later, Gongsun Zan left Gongsun Zan on purpose, saying that he had something to explain. Naturally, Gongsun Xu knew what Gongsun Zan meant.
I figured it out, it's time to have a good chat with my father.

In the big tent, the two of them didn't say a word. Gongsun Zan just looked at the map made of clay invented by Gongsun Xu. The map was filled with black and white.
The area of ​​the flag indicates the grassland that the Han army has occupied, and the rest of the area is still under the rule of the grassland people.look at this is more accurate than normal maps
Gongsun Zan used too many clay models, and everyone praised him in his heart, "Only my son, Gongsun Zan, has the ability to tinker with these things."

West. "Gongsun Zan thought to himself.

After nearly two quarters of an hour, Gongsun Zan finally spoke, "Xu'er, tell me, what is your ambition?"

When Gongsun Xu heard that his father had finally spoken, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Father, my child's ambition is to protect the dearest
family only. "

"You know what I'm asking is your opinion on the world, so don't hide it from me. Speaking of which, I'm your father, and I'm also watching
You grew up, but I always feel that I can't see you clearly, hehe, you are my own son, and I can't even see through you, even if it is
When you were the youngest, Xuer, you have shocked me too much since childhood, tell me, what is your ambition, for your father
I don't want to see you provoke too many enemies, it will be a disaster for my Gongsun family. "

"I dare not hide anything, but I always feel that the world belongs to the world, and I have the responsibility to protect our Han people.

In this world, no matter what others think of me, my baby's ambition will not change. "

Gongsun Zan heard a hint of arrogance and persistence from his son's words. Gongsun Zan's childhood dream was to lead the iron cavalry

The grassland prevented the Hu people from going south to invade the Han family, and enabled the Han people in the frontier to stay away from the flames of war.

Now, after hearing what Gongsun Xu said, Gongsun Zan
I feel uneasy in my heart, whether it is good or bad for my son to have such ambitions, but now Gongsun Xu has already started preparations, and

Moreover, so far, Gongsun Xu has no intention of rebelling against the big man. If so, he can only resign himself to fate.

Gongsun Zan got up and walked to Gongsun Xu, looking at this son who was almost a head taller than him, this has always been his pride.
Ao, Gongsun Zan put too much effort into his son, and placed too much hope, since his son chose this path
, then can I pull him back?Moreover, is it necessary for me to pull him back?

Gongsun Zan patted Gongsun Xu on the shoulder and said, "Remember, I am your father, your mother and your wife are waiting for you at home,
Protect yourself, I don't want anyone to hurt my family.understand? "

"My child understands." Gongsun Xu said, holding back the tears that were about to flow. He knew that Gongsun Zan had made a lot of determination to say this, which meant that Gongsun Zan would not object to his actions. With Gongsun Zan's support, I can let go of my hands and feet even more in northern Xinjiang.This will save a lot of trouble, at least you don't have to confront your father.
