Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 66 The Anti-Dong Begins

Along the way, Cao Cao hid and tried to escape Dong Zhuo's pursuit, and finally escaped to Zhongmou County. He thought he was almost safe.I boldly ran to the restaurant, wanting to have a good meal, but was recognized by the patrolling sergeant.

He was captured by sergeants and sent to the county government.The county magistrate's name was Chen Gong, and his style name was Gongtai. He had met Cao Cao before, so even though Cao Cao denied it, he was still recognized by him. He scolded Cao Cao: "Bold and rebellious, the prime minister treats you well, but you intend to assassinate me. I will escort you to Beijing tomorrow. Let's see how the prime minister treats you."

Cao Cao wanted to refute, but Chen Gong didn't give him a chance.With a wave of his hand, some soldiers took Cao Cao to prison.

That night, Chen Gong secretly sent his cronies to raise Cao Cao, asking: "I heard that the prime minister treats you well, why did you seek your own death?" It’s a nonsense, and the whole Luoyang complains, I, Cao Cao, a good man, if I can’t do justice for the sky, I will be in vain.”

Chen Gong saw that Cao Cao didn't seem to be telling a lie, and saw Cao Cao's upright face, so he admired him very much in his heart.After all, there are really few in the world who dared to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and it was not easy to escape safely after the assassination failed, which shows that Cao Cao is brave and resourceful.Chen Gong didn't know that Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and the people near Luoyang didn't know how many people were slaughtered by the Xiliang army.

Chen Gong had long wanted to follow a man of insight to uphold justice, and Cao Cao in front of him was the best candidate.

Cao Cao saw that Chen Gong didn't scold him like he did during the day, and getting himself out in the middle of the night didn't look like an interrogation.Thinking of this, Cao Cao also understood that Chen Gong was not a loyal member of Dong Zhuo. In fact, thinking about it, it was true. People like Chen Gong were only loyal to the court, so how could they follow Dong Zhuo all the way to the end.

If it wasn't because Dong Zhuo was still on the side of righteousness, the world would have turned against him long ago.It's not far off, though.

Chen Gong helped Cao Cao up, and untied the rope for him, "Meng De has been wronged, I have to do this to avoid people's eyes and ears."

"Sir, you are serious. I dare to kill Dong Zhuo. What a grievance." After finishing speaking, Cao Cao grabbed Chen Gong's hand and said, "Mr. People with lofty ideals in the world will kill Dong Zhuo, please help me." After saying that, Cao Cao was about to kneel down to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong quickly supported Cao Cao, "Meng De doesn't have to be like this, I've already taken care of it, we left overnight to avoid Dong Zhuo's pursuit. The priority is to escape as soon as possible."

So Chen Gong abandoned his official position, changed his clothes, and each carried a sword with Cao Cao, and rode straight to Qiaojun on horseback.After walking for three days, when we arrived at Chenggao, it was getting late.Cao Cao thought of his father's friend Lu Boshe who lived nearby, so he went to stay with Chen Gongqian.

Lu Boshe said: "I heard that the imperial court has captured you everywhere, and your father has fled to Chenliu. How did you come here?"

Cao Cao told the story of Zhongmu's arrest and Chen Gong's abandonment of his official position.Lu Boshe thanked Chen Gong, went out to make arrangements for his family, and said, "I'm going to buy some good wine to thank Chen County Magistrate."

After all, ride a donkey and leave.Cao Cao waited for a long time for Lu Boshe not to come back, and quietly came to the thatched cottage with Chen Gong. He heard someone in the back hall saying: "Tie him up and kill him!" , kill anyone they see, kill all eight people, and search the kitchen, but find a big pig tied up.

Chen Gong said: "Meng De was too suspicious and killed a good man by mistake!" The two hurriedly got on their horses and fled.

After walking not far, he met Lu Boshe coming back and asked, "Why did my nephew and envoy leave?" Cao Cao said, "I am a guilty person, so I dare not stay for long."

Pointing suddenly, he said, "Who is that person?"

When Lu Boshe turned his head, Cao Cao chopped off the donkey's back with a sword.Chen Gong asked in shock: "It was a manslaughter just now, why did you kill him on purpose?"

Cao Cao said: "If you don't kill him, he will bring people to arrest us when he sees his family members killed by me. We will be in great trouble."

Hearing Cao Cao's justification, Chen Gong was so angry that he even wanted to draw his sword and kill Cao Cao.

Chen Gong accused Cao Cao of being unrighteous, and Cao Cao said: "It is better to teach me to blame the world than to teach the world to blame me!" That night, the two went to the inn to stay.After Cao Cao fell asleep, Chen Gong thought that leaving Cao Cao would be a future trouble, so he drew his sword and wanted to kill Cao Cao, but then thought that killing Cao Cao was an unjust act, so he left alone overnight.

When Cao Cao woke up, he didn't see Chen Gong. Guessing that Chen Gong had abandoned him, he hurried to Chenliu to gather his family forces.

While Cao Cao was actively acting against Dong Daye, Yuan Shao was also managing his own forces.Of course, Gongsun Xu in the north is also working hard to oppose Dong Daye.It's just that all of this is going on in secret.

Gongsun father and son's reputation has been too prominent these years, and Gongsun Xu doesn't want to be the target of others' attacks. At least when his own strength has not reached the strongest, he has to continue to endure it.

In the north, in Youzhou, Gongsun Xu has been staying at home with his mother during this time.For so many years, my father worked hard outside, and I worked hard outside, but my mother was left alone at home to worry.

Gongsun Xu has always felt guilty towards his mother, although her mother understands the righteousness and will not say anything.But Gongsun Xu can feel the anxiety and worry in his mother's heart. It is the most extravagant for Gongsun Xu to have such warmth in a busy life.Unfortunately, this luxury is not destined to last forever.

An urgent report came from Liaodong that Xu Rong had completely conquered the land of the Three Hans. Now Gongsun Xu is needed to take charge of the overall situation. Many things in the northern grassland also need Gongsun Xu's decision. Whether to abandon or defend, Gongsun Xu should give an accurate answer.

After bidding farewell to his mother, Gongsun Xu hurried to Liaodong, where Zhao Yun and others had already been waiting.

In the big tent, Gongsun Xugao took the seat and watched the latest battle report from Xu Rong.Gongsun Xu finally ordered: "The land of the Three Hans is in my hands. It is really gratifying. But for so many years, our Youzhou army has been expanding its territory and is recuperating for a period of time.

I plan to let Xu Rong lead the troops to garrison Sanhan, to renovate this place well, and strive to resume production as soon as possible, and become another rear of our army.What do you think. ? "

This question seems to be asking everyone, but in fact, generals have nothing to do with it.After discussion, several counselors unanimously agreed with Gongsun Xu's decision.

After everyone discussed it, Gongsun Xu raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said again: "Now, let me explain our current situation to you. In addition to the surprise of the forces in Bingzhou and Youzhou, our army still has 30 regular troops. , 15 cavalry, mainly distributed in Sanhan, Liaodong, and grasslands.

The infantry is 12, and 10 are under Xu Rong's command. I don't plan to transfer the [-] people back. Samhan is newly established. It is too unstable. Now we need to support development.Otherwise, the hard-earned places are likely to be lost.In this way, our previous efforts will be in vain.

In addition, although the navy already has 3 people, compared with the army, the navy is still too weak to be of real use.Bingzhou is new to me, and it is quite unstable. The Xiongnu will often harass Bingzhou.

I plan to deploy [-] cavalry troops from the Liaodong Grassland and Sanhan to station in Bingzhou. Adding up the original strength of Bingzhou, there can be [-]. This can be regarded as completely stabilizing Bingzhou. As long as Bingzhou can develop well, it will be captured for our army. Laying the foundation in the Hetao area is our greatest victory.

The Hetao area must be laid down within three years, so that we can temporarily alleviate the production and food crisis.Based on this, strive to go to sea and occupy Nanyang within five years.All of this requires your joint efforts. "

"Willing to serve the lord." After hearing this, everyone knelt down and said.

"Okay, now I'm here to announce the results of the discussions during this period. Xu Rong will continue to guard Sanhan, and he will be assisted by trial and assignment as a military adviser. The immigration of Sanhan must not be interrupted, and the Sinicization of Sanhan must be accelerated. Yan Liang leads the army Guard the grassland, with Jushou as the military adviser to assist, and guard the rear and the horse farm for our army. Gao Shun led the troops to guard Bingzhou, with Tian Feng as the military adviser to assist him. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations. Let us work together and fight for us. future efforts."

"My lord is wise." Everyone signaled again.

Youzhou's apparent military strength is 20, [-] is in the hands of Gongsun Zan, and [-] is in the hands of Gongsun Xu.Many people are worried or expecting the father and son to turn against each other. After all, the situation has already developed in this direction.

This is also the reason why Gongsun Xu has always wanted to develop his power outward. Now that Gongsun Xu's power has surrounded Youzhou, in the eyes of Jia Xu and other counselors, he has surrounded Youzhou, so that he can gain the rule of Youzhou in the future. right to prepare.In fact, a few people knew in their hearts that Gongsun Xu was slowly protecting Youzhou.

After the discussion, Gongsun Xu stayed in Liaodong, and the Kanto area must be very lively now.Gongsun Xu doesn't want to participate yet, he is waiting, people in the world turn against Dong, then is the time for him to appear in front of the people in the world again.Now Gongsun Xu decided to adjust his army.

The trapped camp has always been 5000 people, plus auxiliary soldiers and reserve soldiers, a total of [-]. They have already marched to Bingzhou first, and guarded Bingzhou with Gao Shun.After losses and supplements, the selected front army reached as many as [-]. This is an army that only obeys Gongsun Xu's orders.Seven thousand white-robed troops, all elite light cavalry, commanded by Zhao Yun.

The heavy cavalry was reduced to [-] by Gongsun Xu, but the combat effectiveness and quality are obviously much better than before. The rest of the ordinary cavalry are mostly light cavalry. After all, it is impossible to raise so many cavalry, and Gongsun Xu can't afford it. rise.

As for the remaining soldiers of the generals and Gongsun Xu’s own soldiers, there may be [-] to [-] in total. For example, Gongsun Xu has [-] personal guards, not including the young guards. Zhao Yun also has [-] elite cavalry guards. Zhang Fei's [-] Yanyun cavalry, Guan Yu's [-] knives and axemen, Huang Zhong's [-] bow cavalry, etc., are all personal weapons.

During the period of waiting for the chaos in the world, Gongsun Xu has been working hard to improve his martial arts, fighting against the heroes of Dong Daye, especially Lu Bu, who is an enemy, has probably reached or even surpassed Huang Zhong's height now. The most anticipated thing.The God of War of the Three Kingdoms has always belonged to Lu Bu, and challenging Lu Bu has become Gongsun Xu's goal.

Every day, in addition to completing the training set for himself, Gongsun Xu had to fight against Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei once. Only by fighting against the masters could he discover his own shortcomings.Gongsun Xu deeply understands this truth.Gongsun Xu has been working hard for so many years.

He also practiced hard in his previous life, and he has never relaxed in this life.However, the skills of those special forces will be of great use in other aspects. As for the kung fu on the battlefield, I still have to practice hard.

It is Gongsun Xu's luck to have such a group of masters by his side.Zhang Fei's martial arts has improved by leaps and bounds over the years, and he is already on par with Wen Chou.Needless to say, Zhao Yun, even Huang Zhong sincerely admires how bad a person can be.

Guan Yu has already practiced his strongest three swords these days, and he is still working hard on the trick of dragging the sword. Although Huang Zhong is a bit older, his sword skills have reached the state of perfection, and he is the best among them.

Needless to say, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, although the two have to guard the frontier and rarely exchange martial arts with others, there are battlefields in the frontier, and that is the best place to hone their martial arts.As for Tai Shici, he is proficient in spears, short halberds, bows and arrows, and even Gan Ning of the navy has practiced superb water skills.

As for Dian Wei who is far away in Luoyang, even Huang Zhong can only bow down to his close-to-body combat skills. Coupled with his terrifying strength, Dian Wei is definitely qualified to rank among the top three generals in the Youzhou Army.

Others such as Xu Huang, Zhou Cang, Xia Houlan and others needless to say, with such a group of bosses who are arrogant, how could their martial arts fail, even if it was possible, they would be pulled out by Zhao Yun and others to practice their hands, It's hard not to make progress.If you don't make progress, you will be beaten to make progress. This may be considered a kind of luck.

Gongsun Xu's martial arts were not bad at first, and at his current level, he could go through a hundred rounds under Huang Zhong's hands.Although it still has an advantage in horses and weapons.

However, Gongsun Xu is the youngest one. Although he is proficient in lance, he has not yet achieved great success. He can rank in the top five in bow and arrow. Gongsun Xu's strong point is his close combat skills. I am afraid that even Dian Wei is helpless.This is the benefit of Gongsun Xu's time travel.Gongsun Xuneng was able to stand side by side with this group of peerless generals because his special forces skills in his previous life did not fall behind.

Just like this, I have been staying in Liaodong, improving myself while waiting.Finally, You Beiping still received a transfer order.Gongsun Zan asked Gongsun Xu to go back to Youbeiping to discuss important matters.

Gongsun Xu naturally knew what this big event was.He's been waiting for this day.Gongsun Xu understood that his father would not ask him to go back unless it was absolutely necessary. Now that he sent someone to pass on his orders, it could only show that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had put a lot of pressure on his father.Everyone in the world is watching, it's time for Youzhou to show something.

When receiving the transfer order, Gongsun Xu only left a sentence to his subordinates: "Send the order to Yan Liang and Gao Shun, and everything will go according to the original plan." Then he took Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Tai Shici and Huang Xu, The two young generals of Dianman rushed to Youbeiping.
