Chapter 160 Gongsun Family, a Litter of Foxes!

"Haha! --Liaodong and Liaoxi heroes, gathered in Liucheng today, nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses, enough to resist Cao Cao's army, you all go out of the city with this king, welcome the prince of Gongsun! ”

Knowing that the reinforcements from Liaodong were coming, Badun led a group of chiefs out of the city to greet him, and let people kill cattle and sheep, and prepare a sumptuous banquet to entertain Gongsun Kang and his party, but in Bandun's heart, it was a mixed surprise!

The good news is that Liaodong sent 80,000 troops to help the war, plus the men and horses of Karasuma's headquarters, as well as Xianbei, Goguryeo, and Fuyu...... The warriors of each tribe, the total number of soldiers and horses that they can control is nearly 200,000, and they occupy favorable terrain, even if they can't defeat Cao's army, it is enough to protect themselves, right?

If you are lucky and defeat the main force of the Cao army, you will be able to sweep through the counties of Youzhou, and then conquer the Central Plains, so that the Karasuma people will replace the Huns and become the new overlord of the grassland, dominating the barbarians and oppressing the Han family!

Shocked - Liaodong sent troops, I didn't even know about it, everyone was approaching within a hundred miles, the rangers found the traces, I was really scared out of a cold sweat, fortunately it was reinforcements, if it was an enemy sneak attack, the consequences would be unimaginable!

You must know that the cavalry raid is as fast as lightning, a hundred miles away, and it is coming in an instant, once the enemy is close to the base camp, it is equivalent to a knife on the neck, and if you want to meet the whole team, I am afraid it will be too late!

Thinking of this, Badun immediately issued an order, asking the rangers under his command to expand the reconnaissance range by 200 miles, and stationed some small tribes where there is a water source in the western Liaoning corridor to monitor Cao's every move.

Next, Badun led tens of thousands of cavalry out of the city to welcome the arrival of the Liaodong Army, Gongsun Kang was so concealed in his whereabouts, just to show his strength, and he also wanted to have a 'dismount', so that the other party could understand in his heart who was the master of Liaoxi!

"Long! --Prosperous! Prosperous! ”

………………

As soon as the Karasuma people finished their formation, there was a loud rumbling sound in the distance, and a large army swept in, with flags fluttering in the ocean, thousands of horses galloping, swords and spears raised, and the cold light flickering, there were 70,000 or 80,000 horses......

At first, there was a black flag, more than eight feet long and wide, with iron and wood rods, brocade face, and flying corners...... There are Xuanyao patterns painted around, spreading their wings and flying, lifelike, two apricot yellow characters in the middle: 'Gongsun', fluttering up and down, so not majestic!

One of its young generals, medium stature, resolute appearance, wearing a hundred battles of gold helmets, wearing lion armor, holding a pair of bamboo steel whips, sitting on a 'purple swallow', is the prince of Liaodong - Gongsun Kang!

He was followed by four guards, all of them in armor, with scimitars, and bows and arrows...... also wears an iron mask, only revealing a mouth and two eyes, looking mighty and strong!

"Two Liao" is close at hand, the situation is very different, the environment in western Liaoning is harsh, sparsely populated, are some nomadic people, rely on herding horses and sheep for a living, the mode of production is also extremely backward, called: poor mountains and bad waters, Diao people are innumerable!

Liaodong County is just the opposite, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, the land is fertile, the land is suitable for farming and grazing, drought and flood protection, the underground mineral deposits are rich and inexhaustible, and it is close to the Bohai Bay, you can fish, boil salt, it is really a paradise on earth, and the one who controls this land is Liaodong Taishou - Gongsun Du!

Gongsun Du - Liaodong County people, smart and studious, able to write and martial arts, at first Xuanfu County officials, and later bribed the 'Ten Standing Servants' with jewelry, promoted to Shang Shulang, Jizhou Assassin History, became a feudal official, and had a premonition that the Central Plains was about to be in chaos, took the initiative to resign from the official position of the Assassin History, and returned to Liaodong's hometown as a Taishou, because of his treacherous personality, known as the 'Liaodong Fox'!

Since Gongsun Du took power, he has strictly implemented strict punishment and strict laws, cracked down on powerful forces, recruited talents, trained soldiers and horses, and constantly expanded his strength, conquered the Goguryeo people in the east, suppressed the Sanhan tribe in the south, occupied the four counties of Liaodong, and disobeyed the control of the Han court, just like an 'overseas emperor!' ’

However, in recent years, Gongsun Du has rarely shown up, the military is handed over to the eldest son - Gongsun Kang, and the government affairs are entrusted to the second son - Gongsun Gong, who is leisurely in the forest and takes care of his life, so it is rumored that this old fox is weak and sickly, and I am afraid that he will die soon!

At the same time, everyone is also looking at the people of Liaodong, and it is really a well-prepared and well-trained elite, it seems that the Gongsun family has taken out the blood, but there is a special team among them, the flags, costumes, and appearance are very strange, all with small eyes, big cake faces, and circle legs...... It doesn't seem to be a Liaodong centaur!

It turned out that at the time of the Yecheng War, the people and horses of Liaodong also suffered heavy losses, in order to make up for the lack of military strength, in addition to the 60,000 horses of the headquarters, and from the southern 'Sanhan', 20,000 servant troops were forcibly transferred, which were those Luo Huan legs!

The northern part of the Korean Peninsula was originally a vassal - Wei Dynasty, and later was flattened by the Han Dynasty army, and Lelang, Xuansu, Zhenfan, Lintun, known as the 'Han Four Counties' in history, and the south is Mahan, Chenhan, Benhan three small tribes, the land is barren, the culture is backward, the inhabitants are like savages, and they are not even qualified to pay tribute, so they can only accept the jurisdiction of Liaodong Taishou!

"Haha! --The king and the great chiefs of the various ministries went out of the city to greet them in person, and the general was ashamed! ”

Gongsun Kang waved his hand to stop the procession, then turned over and dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted, and the four iron guards followed closely to protect his safety!

"Haha! --The swans landed in the lake, the horses galloped on the grassland, the little marquis came to Liaoxi, the king was honored, and he had prepared lamb wine to entertain the distinguished guests from afar! ”

He stepped forward to hug and salute, and called the other party 'Little Marquis', because after Gongsun Du became the hegemon, he proclaimed himself Pingzhou Mu and Liaodong Marquis, and his son was naturally Little Marquis!

In addition, Badun also has something to say, calling the little marquis, and calling himself the king, according to the level of the title, the 'king' is above the 'marquis', this is to tell Gongsun Kang, even if your father comes, it is one level lower than this king, it is best to be obedient!

Gongsun Kang is also a smart person, so he naturally understands what the other party means, and he is furious in his heart, and he is about to have a seizure when he presses the sword on his waist, but he glanced at the iron guard behind him, forcibly suppressed his anger, and smiled faintly!

Next, everyone pretended to be affectionate, and returned to the 'palace' hand in hand, after the guests and hosts were seated, some people offered wine, food, and Mei Ji served around, everyone drank heartily, talked and laughed, and by the way, teased the beautiful women, it was really unhappy!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

"The little marquis is very smart, I don't know what to say about the war in front of me, you know, the Cao army is menacing, once Liaoxi County is lost, Liaodong County may not be able to be saved!"

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, he began to talk about business, and his words were quite sharp, if the other party was not sincere, he would get out of the way of the road in Liaoxi, and let Cao Jun kill Liaodong directly!

"Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: more wins, less wins, and nothing counts...... This general came to lead the army, how could he not have some calculations, the Cao army was menacing, but it was a strong foreign force, and there were three major defeats:

First, after the Cao army seized Hebei, the men and horses were also heavily wounded, and without large-scale repairs, they were eager to attack Liaoxi County, and the soldiers were war-weary, and their fighting spirit was naturally extremely low!

Second, Cao's army was exhausted after a long journey, the supply of grain and grass in the rear was difficult, and there was a lack of water along the way.

Third, Cao Cao suffers from a head disease, and the attack hurts into the bone marrow, Guo Jia is seriously ill, and it is difficult to protect himself, Xiao Yi is separated from morality, living in seclusion in the mountains, without these three people to lead, Cao Jun is a headless snake, even if there are millions of people, what is there to fear? ”

Gongsun Kang talked eloquently, in order to win this war, the Liaodong Group sent a large number of secret agents, and bought some Hebei officials, so he knew the situation of Cao Jun well!

The three giants of the Cao army have all been in a situation, and the strength of the group has been greatly affected, so the Gongsun family dares to send troops and take the risk of fighting, otherwise, they would have died a long time ago!

"The little marquis is reasonable, Cao Jun is indeed strong on the outside, but there is a saying on the grassland: the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the Cao army has 300,000 people, even if people step on the horse, we are difficult to resist, I don't know what to do?"

Badun, Su Fuyan, Murong Jiujin and the big chiefs nodded frequently when they listened, but the Cao army was too strong, and there was no chance of winning more than eighty percent, so they didn't dare to send troops to meet the battle!

Fortunately, this time the Cao army conquered the 'two Liao', the ghost-faced Xiao Lang did not accompany the army, without this peerless killing god, everyone is a little more relieved, even if they lose the battle, there is still a chance to surrender, at least they will not be wiped out, right?

"This marquis is coming with the troops, although he is not ten percent sure, there is also a seventy or eighty percent chance of winning, as for the way to defeat the enemy...... Ha ha! ”

Gongsun Kang smiled confidently, glanced back again, but didn't say anything, but looked at the big chiefs around him - there are many people, don't leak secrets!

"You go back for the time being, straighten out the men and horses, replenish the grain and grass, and wait until the military order is issued, and then fight to the death with the Cao army!"

With a wave of his hand, the chieftain, the pro-soldiers, and the singer ...... quickly withdrew, leaving only himself, Su Fuyan, Murong Jiujin, and Gongsun Kang, in addition, the four iron guards behind Gongsun Kang did not move at all!
