Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 87 Question 1
Most people on the Allied side fell into the carnival, and even the princes who suffered huge losses later joined in the celebration banquet.

In the evening, Gongsun Xu was still sitting in his big tent looking at the map.Although he has achieved considerable victory, it seems that Dong Zhuo has been pushed into the Hulao Pass.But Gongsun Xu felt very strange.But Gongsun Xu couldn't tell where the blame was.

Gongsun Xu has been staring at the map for nearly half an hour, but still has no clue.Now Gongsun Xu feels that he made a low-level mistake in this alliance, that is, he did not bring a military advisor with him.If you only talk about marching and fighting, Gongsun Xu doesn't have to be afraid, but if you want to intrigue, Gongsun Xu feels that he is still a little tender.

After a while, the four generals Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Tai Shici all walked into the big tent.Gongsun Xu specially asked Huang Xu and Dianman to invite them here.

When everyone was present, Gongsun Xu finally expressed his doubts.

"You are all here. Now I have something to tell you. If you have any thoughts in your mind, speak them out. Don't be shy." Gongsun Xu said seriously.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing how Gongsun Xu could say such words at this time.Could it be that something went wrong in Youzhou or Liaodong.

Zhao Yun was the first to ask: "Dare to ask the young master, could it be that something happened in the rear?"

"No, it has nothing to do with Liaodong. It's a matter of the Xiliang Army." Gongsun Xu immediately explained.

Zhang Fei immediately replied: "Dong Zhuo has hid in the Hulao Pass, so what else is there to worry about, if the young master is really worried that it will be difficult to break through the Hulao Pass, write a letter to Gao Shun tomorrow and ask him to lead the camp to come over That’s it. I still don’t believe that Hulaoguan can stop the trapped camp.”

"That's not the case, it's just that I now feel that the battle between the two sides has exceeded my expectations, and the current situation is beyond my control. Think about it carefully, we have seen how brave the Xiliang iron cavalry is before. And intelligence over the years has shown that too.

However, don't you think that the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang army is obviously wrong these days?Zilong, you have experienced many battles, tell me how we won today, and whether it was reasonable.

Although we are good at breaking the heavy with the light, haven't you considered a problem?In the face of heavy cavalry, we have always used javelins. This time we saved our strength, so we did not use javelins. We even avoided using such weapons in ordinary grassland battles.

In the grassland, we can use bows and arrows to defeat our opponents. That is because our bows and arrows are well-made and have strong penetrating power, and the defense measures of the grassland barbarians are relatively simple, so we can shoot and kill the enemy.

But the Xiliang army is different, they have the most sophisticated armor in the world today, and their heavy cavalry must be the elite of the elite. I'm afraid I need to shoot the bow and arrow a few more times.

Moreover, the enemy troops that fought today were obviously insufficiently trained. Although it could be seen that they were veterans, they would definitely not be the elite cavalry of the Xiliang Army. "Gongsun Xu looked at Zhao Yun and asked.

Zhao Yun remained silent, his brows were furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

Zhang Fei was about to speak, but was stopped by Guan Yu. Guan Yu shook his head at Zhang Fei, and Zhang Fei realized that the matter was really serious.

After a while, Zhao Yun said slowly: "In the past, we also fought side by side with the Xiliang Army, and their combat effectiveness at that time was actually higher than our Youzhou Army. If our army hadn't experienced grassland battles over the years, it would have pacified Han It is impossible for our army's combat effectiveness to increase so quickly in battles such as the Battle of the Great War and the Battle of Rescue.

Even so, the Xiliang army will not be weak.Especially Dong Zhuo's original 15 subordinates.It is definitely a first-class powerful army in the world. I am afraid that only the Zhengdong and Pinghan armies in our Youzhou army can compare with it.

White horse volunteers, heavy armored cavalry, white robe army, selection front army, and the young master's personal guards.The combat effectiveness of these troops must be higher than that of most Xiliang troops.Today, Baima Yicong slaughtered almost all Xiliang iron cavalry with his weak force. Now that I think about it, I find it a bit unbelievable.

If it's on the grassland, the young master's forward selection army can do it under the superior force.But today, Bai Mayi has never been too strong.

Based on all the above and our understanding of Baima Yicong, I have come to a conclusion.Today's Xiliang iron cavalry has a problem.Either the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang cavalry has dropped significantly, or, that is, it is not the Xiliang cavalry that is fighting today. "

Gongsun Xu nodded and said: "I thought about it with me. Dong Zhuo started from scratch, a young ranger, and then entered the army to take charge of military power. It has been more than 20 years now. In addition, he has a think tank, Li Ru, and this has created him. The strength and difficulty of the Xiliang Army.

Everything that happened today is very unreasonable.I can only say that the Xiliang Army has a problem.Moreover, I absolutely do not believe that the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army will drop significantly.

But I don't know exactly what the problem is. Elai and Junyi are closely watched, and I can't get any information from them for a while, and I don't know what their situation is now.Now you think about it, what should we do? "

Everyone fell into deep thought after being informed, but no one could draw a conclusion.

Finally, Gongsun Xu sighed and said, "Forget it, I underestimated Dong Zhuo too much in the past. I was wrong because I always thought Dong Zhuo was a reckless man. In fact, if you think about it carefully, how can a reckless man be able to control Xiliang, control Luoyang, and force him to death?" Bingzhou Dingyuan. All of this is not just the credit of Li Ru.

Dong Zhuo must have set a trap for us now. At present, our army seems to be in no danger, but in the future, it may not be so.How about this, Huang Xu, where is Dianman? "

"Yes." Huang Xu and Dianman immediately walked into the big tent and said.

"The two of you immediately ordered fifty soldiers, and rushed to Youzhou overnight to invite Mr. Wenhe. Just say that I am in trouble. This matter must be done in secret. In addition, when passing by Bingzhou, tell Gao Shun Sound, the second set of plans must be implemented, and I am starting to feel unsafe now." Gongsun Xu said slowly.

"Follow the order." Huang Xu and Dianman immediately took the order and went down to prepare.

The five people in the big tent were still discussing. Half an hour later, Gongsun Zan's personal soldiers came to send a message saying that the celebration banquet had begun, and the leader wanted to invite him.

It was only then that Gongsun Xu remembered that Yuan Shao had set up a celebration banquet again. How can he say that he should also be the protagonist today, and it would be too bad not to be there.So Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun went to the banquet after changing their clothes.

Noise, laughter, dancing and music, and even women's voices could be heard from far away from Yuan Shao's big tent.Gongsun Xu frowned and frowned at the four generals around Zou Wen and said, "Where can you find a woman in an important place in the army?"

I just heard Guan Yu say: "The young master is thinking too much. This is not the barracks of our Youzhou army. It is normal to have women. Not every army can do what my Youzhou army does."

The other four felt that it made sense, so they didn't bother with it anymore.

When everyone walked into the big tent, they saw a lively scene. There were two beautiful women pouring wine for him beside Yuan Shao, and there was at least one dancer beside Wang Kuang and others.

Gongsun Xu took a rough look at the situation in the big tent, and found that the princes in the big tent have actually been divided into three categories. One is Yuan Shao's leader faction, which has the largest number of people and is the most noisy. The other is Gongsun Zan, a small alliance headed by Yuan Shu. There is also a middle faction headed by Cao Cao.

Yuan Shu saw Gongsun Xu coming in and immediately greeted Gongsun Xu to sit beside him, and Gongsun Xu also greeted Yuan Shu and others warmly with a smile.

Gongsun Zan, Kong Rong, and Tao Qian drank wine leisurely, out of harmony with the lively atmosphere in the big tent.Yuan Shu originally wanted to grab two dancers to drink with him, but he didn't mind seeing Gongsun Zan and the three of them not happy. Anyway, Gongsun Zan and the others are now his true allies.

After drinking the wine, the music stopped.With a big wave of Yuan Shao's hand, the irrelevant musicians and singers all quickly retreated.

Yuan Shao raised his wine glass and said to the crowd: "It's a pity for us to defeat the bandit army in Xiliang today. You all have worked hard today. I, Yuan Shao, thank you."

"It is our duty to save the people of the world." Everyone raised their glasses and said.

After a while, Yuan Shao said again: "Today, I will reward those who have made great achievements. Tell me, who is the most important person today?"

Yuan Shu didn't care if his elder brother was singing double reeds with others again, so he immediately said: "Needless to say, the number one hero is of course Hussar General Gongsun Xian-nephew, there is no Hussar General who slaughtered Xiliang heavy cavalry Before, we couldn't open the situation.

This is the second, hehe, of course it is my Huainan Army, Xuzhou Army and Beihai Army. Today we were the first to defeat Dong Zhuojun's right army. "

Yuan Shu had a smug look on his face, he didn't care if Yuan Shao would look bad or not.

Surprisingly, Yuan Shao didn't lose his temper, nor did he have a bad face. Instead, he stood up and applauded and said, "Gaolu is right. The Youzhou Army contributed the most this time. The Huainan Army, Xuzhou Army, and Beihai Navy also contributed. I will definitely Great rewards to those who have made meritorious service. Come, let us have another drink and congratulate these brave soldiers."

What Yuan Shao said was fair and reasonable, and Yuan Shu didn't know if his brother was sincere, but he said that it would not be a bad thing to reward him, so he happily drank with everyone.

Next is Yuan Shao's stage alone. First, he rewards the meritorious soldiers, and then he expresses impassionedly that he will fight to save the people of the world, vow to fight Dong Zhuo to the death, and so on.

The celebration banquet lasted for two hours before it ended, and everyone was too tired, so after the banquet, they all went back to the camp.

Although Gongsun Xu had too many doubts in his heart, he also knew that he was not able to communicate with him now. Instead of this, he might as well take a step at a time.
