Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 637 Frontier Chaos 1
Gongsun Xu quickly settled all the captives. In order to prevent the captives from rebelling, Gongsun Xu imprisoned all of them in the canyon. Both sides of the canyon were heavily guarded. Every day, Gongsun Xu would send someone to deliver a meal to these captives. As long as these captives don't make trouble, Gongsun Xu will not do anything to them.

These captives are indeed quite honest now, and they all use what they can find around them to build tents or live for warmth.After all, Gongsun Xu didn't mean to kill them. Although there is not much room for movement in this canyon, it is better to be alive than dead.

On the peaks on both sides of the canyon, Gongsun Xu secretly sent people to arrange a lot of rolling stones, thunder wood and fuel. He was making two-handed preparations. If these captives really wanted to make trouble, he could only order all the captives to be killed. There is no way, now Gongsunxu can't make a wrong move, he can only be so cruel.

In the big tent, Gongsun Xu ordered Lao Zhu: "Lead 3000 people to stay to take care of the cattle, sheep and captives. Remember, if the captives really make trouble, don't give them any chance to resist. I must go to the habitat of the Xiongnu tribe now." Stabilize the situation, if something happens to the canyon before I come back, you know what to do."

Hua Xiong has already led the army to support Gongsun Ran. Gongsun Ran has been delayed for a few days in order to resettle the prisoners. He really can't afford to delay now, so he can only do this. Lao Zhu is also in danger now, but this task is not so easy. It can be taken, if it is really not good, Gongsun Xu will definitely kill him to sacrifice the flag.

However, this is also an opportunity for Lao Zhu. The previous few times it was a small fight, but now it is considered a serious matter. Seeing Gongsun Xu's serious expression, Lao Zhu knew that as long as he completed this matter, in the future Flying to the top is just around the corner.

"The general obeys orders." Lao Zhu said so, but he was a little unreliable in his heart. After all, there were more than 2 prisoners, and he had to send someone to take care of the livestock. If something happened, how could he control it? Come here.

"My lord, the general is willing to stay and assist Lao Zhu." Bai Ling cupped his hands and said, "These captives are rebellious people, and Lao Zhu alone may be difficult to resist."

"Then you can stay." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "I can rest assured that you are here. How about it, Lao Zhu, you recruited some old subordinates before, and now go tell them, as long as they can assist you After finishing this matter, I will allow them to become full-time fighters.

Remember, no matter what, we can't let the slightest problem occur in the rear of our army. It is better to kill thousands of people by mistake than let one go.Bai Ling, you should be responsible for guarding the captives full-time. There must be more than 1000 people stationed on the peaks on both sides of the canyon. Do you understand what I mean? "

"The general understands." The white antelope knelt down and replied, "The general guarantees with his head that there will never be a captive who makes trouble out of the canyon."

The murderous intent in these words couldn't be more obvious, and Lao Zhu couldn't help but admire the young people nowadays, if he can be so cruel, he will be the one to make such a great contribution.

Two hours later, Gongsun Xu led the rest of the troops to the destination at full speed. After Lao Zhu had trained his subordinates, he hurriedly found Bai Ling and said, "Nephew, thank you very much this time, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do." How can we handle this matter?"

"Uncle, you were my leader before, and you took good care of me." Bai Ling patted Lao Zhu on the shoulder and said, "If I don't stay this time, I'm really afraid that you will mess things up. Temper, he said he would kill whoever he killed.

Don't worry, Uncle, I won't take this credit from you, but you have to help me get this matter done. We are all doing things for the lord, and the lord knows very well that as long as you can spend these ten days safely, your Good days are coming. "

"What are you talking about." Old Zhu shook his head and said, "I am the one who assisted you. How can I take credit for your credit? Uncle can see that you are sincerely trying to help me. Bai Ling, don't worry, I will help you." It’s definitely not a problem for the former subordinates to use Trojan horses to herd sheep. You can lead 1000 or [-] people to garrison the mountain. Leave the rest to me. Didn’t the lord allow us to recruit some helpers from the captives? Hehe, take care of the livestock Things, Uncle must handle properly."

Hundreds of miles away, in the camp of Li Ru's tribe, at this time, the drums were beating and the horns were blowing. Li Ru only gave Hua Xiong an army of 5000, and supported Gongsun Ran with [-] troops to attack the Xiongnu tribe. Twenty-five thousand troops were left to guard the camp. In fact, such a distribution of troops was very unreasonable. After all, taking down the Xiongnu was the real business, even if the tribe suffered some losses, it was worth it.

But Li Ru insisted on doing so after finding out the situation of the remnants of the Huns. Now, his foresight came in handy.

For a long time, he didn't trust the nearby Qiang tribes very much, especially those tribes that were very close to Han Sui. Li Ru was always on guard against them. I'm restless now.

There were originally [-] cavalry on Li Ru's side, but they were reduced by nearly half at once. The defense of the entire tribe seemed a little empty. This was a good opportunity for other tribes to attack. The Qiang tribe will definitely make trouble.

Sure enough, several nearby Qiang tribes really began to gather their troops, and what worried Li Ru the most was that in addition to these Qiang tribes, Han Sui, who was far away in Xiliang, also sent [-] cavalry towards his camp. hit.

"The number of enemy troops is estimated to be no less than [-]. We must evacuate quickly." Li Ru ordered: "Cover all the old and weak women and children to migrate northward, and then send someone to contact General Hua Xiong and ask him to come back for help."

After all the generals went down to work, Li Ru called his two soldiers and said, "You two, hurry to Hetao now, and you must meet General Gao Shun in person, and say that it was my message to him." , After seeing General Gao Shun, tell him that the one who captured Jiao is with me, as long as the affairs here are settled, we will kill them back soon."

Naturally, the two soldiers didn't understand what Li Ru was talking about. Their task was to deliver the message, and they didn't care about the rest. If something happened on the way, the two of them would either shut their teeth and not say anything, or , Direct suicide to keep the secret.

Two days later, Gongsun Xu led an army to control the Xiongnu tribe. The current Xiongnu tribe is almost all old and weak, women and children. Gongsun Xu will not kill or set fire, and will not plunder, so the work of placing prisoners will be carried out soon.

All the herdsmen are very cooperative. They have heard of the name of Gongsunxu for a long time. For the Huns, the three characters of Gongsunxu do represent terror and bad luck. However, when they heard about the prosperity of Hetao and the After the benevolent policy of the United States, they no longer think so.

The cold winter that just passed was their nightmare. In order to go south to attack Hetao, the Xiongnu Shanyu almost took away most of the cattle, sheep, horses and supplies in the tribe. These ordinary herdsmen almost starved to death this winter.

Gongsun Xu didn't expect that his work would be carried out so smoothly. These herdsmen hardly resisted. Perhaps they were afraid of the army under him, but Gongsun Xu wanted to use his kindness to influence them.

"Everyone's rations will be distributed." Gongsun Xu ordered in the tent: "Set up all the herdsmen to ensure that no one will starve to death. In addition, now send an order for everyone to migrate to the canyon. There are enough people there." of livestock.

Hua Xiong, did you send someone to urge Li Ru? Why haven't you sent reinforcements yet?Li Ru is not such a slow person, he should know how difficult my current situation is, and you can send someone to urge him to come and join me as soon as possible. "

"promise."

Just as Hua Xiong was about to reply, he heard someone shout from outside the tent: "My lord, a messenger has arrived."

"Come in." Gongsun Xu looked down at the map and said, "It should be Li Ru's messenger."

"The villain has seen the general. This is a distress letter sent by the villain from my military division." The messenger knelt in front of Hua Xiong and said, "The Qiang tribe has gathered troops to attack our tribe, and Han Sui from Xiliang has also sent a large army to come. attack us."

Hua Xiong took the letter and handed it to Gongsun Xu on the table, saying: "My lord, the military advisor is right, the Qiang people are really restless."

"How courageous." Gongsun Xu took the letter and read it with a sneer and said with a sneer: "Dare to find trouble for me at this time, these Qiang people will always be tamed with fists."

"My lord, the general will lead the troops back now." Hua Xiong begged for his life, "The general will guarantee with his head that these restless Qiang people will be strangled this time to clear the way for the lord."

"There's no rush now." Gongsun Xu turned to look at the messenger and asked, "What arrangements did Li Ru make? Where were Han Sui's soldiers and horses when you left? Where are the Qiang soldiers and horses gathered? How many are there in the tribe?" Old and weak women and children?"

This series of questions directly confused the messenger. He stared blankly at Hua Xiong, as if he was asking for Hua Xiong's opinion.

"You idiot." Hua Xiong scolded: "This is my lord, the official is a general. Why, don't you usually say that the general of the Northern Border Army is a great hero? You really don't know each other when you meet?"

Only then did the messenger understand why Hua Xiong was so respectful to this young man, and he immediately knelt in front of Gongsun Xu and said, "There are still more than 7 old and weak women and children in my tribe, all of whom are family members of the soldiers. I don't know the person, but I only know that Han Sui's soldiers and horses came from Xiliang."

"Okay, go down and rest after working hard." Gongsun Xu nodded and said, "There must be an accident in Xiliang, otherwise Li Ru wouldn't have arranged it so early. What we have to do now is not to let the enemy Convergence can only defeat them individually.

Hua Xiong, go and count the soldiers and horses immediately, choose 1 elite troops to go out with me. Gongsun Ran, you lead [-] horses to guard this place, and you must ensure our victory. I want to command [-] cavalry to defeat them first. Han Sui sent troops and horses, and then fought back against the Qiang army. "

"No." Everyone took the order to go down to work, Gongsun Xu pointed to the land on the map that marked Xiliang and said to himself: "There must be an accident at Ma Teng's side, it seems that I have to do it as soon as possible."
