Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Four Seas Are Home
Most people in this era are a picture of struggle for hegemony when they are together, but they can tear apart a single person, and those familiar names, each of which is a history of struggle. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Gongsun Chan attacked Qiu Liju's camp in the early morning, but only saw the camp that was tossed and turned in disarray by the Wuhuan people, and no one was found.
The Wuhuan people ran east.
Gongsun Zhan wanted to continue the pursuit, but was stopped by Meng Yi's vanguard cavalry by the court Zhonglang, who hoped that he would go to recruit troops first and replenish the troops before continuing the battle. He didn't want to say yes...... If Meng Yi is allowed to catch up with Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun at this time, wouldn't it be meaningless for him to be surrounded for half a year?
But the news from the first Tanma made Gongsun Chan change his mind.
On the banks of the Liaoshui River, the rebel general Yanbei camped on the other side of the Qingshi Bridge to meet the rebels, preparing to fight them.
In fact, not only Yanbei is familiar with Gongsun Zhan's name, but Gongsun Chan has also heard Yanbei's name for a long time. This young man conquered more than ten cities in March, and he was almost invincible in Jizhou, and even the giant deer Taishou Guo Dian who was killed in Liangzhou died in his hands.
Gongsun Chan was very jealous of Yanbei.
Meng Yi only has nearly 10,000 soldiers, and Gongsun Zhan plans to let him explore the reality of Yanbei first. There were more than 10,000 soldiers under Yanbei when Jizhou disappeared, and I haven't heard of any major battles in Yanbei in the past half a year, and it is estimated that the subordinates will not reduce their personnel too much, and they can more or less hold on for some time under Meng Yi's hands.
Gongsun Zhan didn't want Meng Yi to win, as long as he could hold up Yanbei for twenty years, Gongsun Bogui would win next.
That's right, the victory is Bogui's, Yanbei's head is Bogui's, Zhang Ju Zhang Chunqiu Liju? It's the same!
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion that swept through the eight states of the world, there have been rebellions in various places. Han Sui of Liangzhou made 100,000 Qiang to ride down Sanfu, and Zhang Ju of Youzhou made 100,000 Wuhuan Woe Qingxu. In this context of the times, the imperial court needs a hero too much, Gongsun Chan hardly has to think about it, he knows very well that if someone can put down the rebellion in the northeast and northwest of the empire at this time, how much credit will it have?
You don't see it, Changsha Taishou Sun Jian just broke the three self-proclaimed general thieves, and he was named the Marquis of Wucheng County. You don't see it, Dong Zhuo, a heroic general in the northwest border, was crowned the township marquis because he didn't lose the battle in a daze.
The imperial court needs famous generals too much.
Gongsun Chan knew...... He is the next Hou Ye!
In fact, even if this battle failed to reap the full merits, just with Gongsun Zhan's 3,000 cavalry chasing the dead and chasing the north, causing more than 100,000 Wuhuan troops to be defeated, one townsman would be more than enough. If you can seize the heads of Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, Yanbei, and Qiu Liju, a county marquis with ten thousand households is absolutely indispensable!
In this case, Gongsun Chan regarded everyone as someone who competed with him, no matter what Liu Yu and Meng Yi, no one could stop his road to feudalism!
Recruitment!
The horse army carrying the banner of Gongsun Dudu galloped in all the cities except Liaodong and Lelang in Youzhou, and ran all over every township, but unfortunately it still had little effect. On the one hand, Gongsun Zhan's reputation is not good enough, not to mention that Guanzicheng was besieged for half a year in the first battle, and indirectly killed half of the people in the city; On the other hand, after the scourge of the Wuhuan people, the population of Youzhou has decreased drastically, and the already small population is even more unsustainable now.
In the process, Gongsun Zhan's subordinates caught a scout with a secret letter, and the letter was written to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu in the tone of the traitor Yanbei, wanting to reach an agreement, Yanbei offered Zhang Ju's head and replaced Zhang Chun's life.
Gongsun Chan was originally very jealous of Yanbei, but now, after reading Yanbei's letter, he is even more jealous, and he has basically been listed as the enemy of his life by Gongsun Zhan.
Although he didn't know why Yan Bei had to insist on saving Zhang Chun's life, in the eyes of Gongsun Zhan, this might be Yan Zang's delaying tactic, first put forward a condition that Liu Yu couldn't agree to, and then put forward what he really wanted to do. The key thing that made Gongsun Chan feel jealous was that although the content of Yanbei's letter was not much, it pointed directly to the hearts of the people and cut into the most critical place of this war.
If Zhang Ju's head was presented to Liu Yu by Yanbei, and Qiu Liju fled back to Liaodong's vassal state, it would mean that the war was over.
According to Gongsun Zhan's understanding of Liu Yu, Liu Yu will most likely agree to Yanbei's request.
But this will hurt the interests of Gongsun Zhan, and he and Liu Yu are old acquaintances. In this place of Youzhou, there will basically always be wars, whether it is the Xianbei people or the Wuhuan species of Donghu, they are ready to move in the autumn, and let the horses go south to grab the grain.
Gongsun Chan is a military general, a very popular profession in Youzhou, there will be a battle in chaos, there will be meritorious service if you win, and meritorious service is to be promoted and make a fortune! So even if he can't go without fighting, he has to take a dozen people out of the border to provoke foreigners. Gongsun Zhan relied on the continuous wars for many years, and sat on the position of governor in the year of his establishment, and his three righteous brothers monopolized the industries of horse and silk sales in western Liaoxi, and each family had more than 100 million yuan.
Liu Yu is a good person, in the years he has been in Youzhou, Youzhou seems to have really lived and worked in peace and contentment. But Gongsun Zhan didn't like Liu Yu, because during the years that Liu Yu was in office, he could only do a long history in the subject country of Liaodong.
What is Long History?
How can a big husband be content with others and be the adjutant of the staff?
The scout was ordered by Gongsun Chan to cut his throat with a sharp knife, Bobo's blood flowed all over the ground, and the loud voice and magnificent appearance of General Gongsun just waved his hand to drag the protruding corpse down, sat on the stool and closed his eyes slightly, and gently tapped the bridge of his nose with the third knuckle.
Recruitment, we must hurry.
He had to gather at least 6,000 soldiers and horses, arm the soldiers with the standard weapons of the county soldiers from the county arsenals, and kill them all the way to Liaodong.
Before the head of the traitor Yanbei was placed in front of him, Gongsun Zhan would never allow any of Yanbei or any of the Wuhuan scouts to pass through Liaoxi, and not a single letter would be passed into Liu Yu's hands.
The result of the war can only be Gongsun Zhan's defeat of the traitors of the troubled Han, and other than that...... Not even the gods can stop this war!
……
Liu Bei was not happy under Gongsun Zhan, not because he thought that the official position given by Gongsun Zhan was too low, and the official position of Sima in other departments was not low. He just couldn't get used to it.
He was not accustomed to seeing Gongsun Chan turn a blind eye to the trapping of his subordinates, he was not accustomed to seeing the strong warriors wearing armor and swords forcing the unarmed people to go to the city to meet the enemy, and he was not used to seeing the quick success of Senior Brother Gongsun.
Senior Brother Gongsun in his acquaintance used to be a model for the worship of young men in Youzhou, they envied the magnificent figure, the loud and clear voice, and almost blindly admired his bravery.
More than ten horses backlash Xianbei hundred horses, what kind of courage?
How chic is drunk and scattered?
Even on the way north to Youzhou, Liu Xuande was extremely envious, envious that Senior Brother Gongsun alone took out armor and equipment that could arm thousands of people, and hundreds of white-haired horses, called white horses.
Once upon a time, Senior Brother Gongsun was Liu Bei's pride.
He once heard a staff official from Liangzhou mention that there is a Dong Zhongying in Liangzhou, who can shoot the bow left and right, whether it is Huangzhongqiang or Tu Gehu, Haoqiang or scholars, and even those vassal countries in the Western Regions, none of them disobey him.
At that time, Liu Bei was thinking in his heart, what is there? We have a grandson Bogui in Youzhou, he is strong and beautiful, the sound is like Huang Zhong's unparalleled riding skills, and he is good at using a double-headed spear to defeat the heroes of the world, and there are more than a thousand white horses between the waves of his hand to serve his death, which can ensure the peace of the people of Youzhou for generations!
On the night when these soldiers and horses stopped in Liaoxi to recruit troops, Liu Bei often sat on the stool with misty eyes, thinking about what was said and what was not said, and thinking about what was not thought.
Maybe keeping the people of Youzhou peaceful for generations is just wishful thinking, and Senior Brother Gongsun has never thought like that, right? General Gongsun is an official, a soldier, and a general, and perhaps he should think differently from himself.
But Liu Bei thought, then who am I?
I'm a mat weaver and shoe seller, not a businessman, just an ordinary craftsman. When he was a child, when he heard the stories of those heroes and heroes, the stories of the ancestors of the Liu family, he thought, this world belongs to our family, and the people are loyal to our family.
We want to do more for them.
With this idea, the naïve Liu Bei grew up, maybe I can be a hero in the future!
But...... Liu Bei didn't become a hero, he just tried his best to be kind and charitable, like the ancient rangers, brave and ruthless, relying on his reputation to help those younger than him.
Because the thing he kept forgetting, or what he didn't want to remember, was that he had nothing. He imitates the style of those ancient heroes, and this is only because most of those ancient heroes are like him, most of them started from the end of the year, but they relied on their own efforts and the love of others to achieve great things.
More like his ancestor, that distant but familiar name, Liu Bang.
When Emperor Gao achieved the imperial cause, no one dared to underestimate him, even those who were displaced after his middle age were called by Taishi as 'The husband of heaven, the four seas are home!' ’
Most of the people of Youzhou and Jizhou are homesick and reluctant to run to other states, and Liu Bei sometimes wonders if it is because the strong Great Wall in the north blocks the external threat, so they do not like to go far.
But Liu Bei was willing to run, and when he was poor, he carried a broken sword and followed the walking merchants through many places, sometimes gathering his acquaintances to draw his sword to protect those who could not fight, and repel the thieves wandering in the countryside.
Later, his condition was better, he was more willing to run, when he stepped on a horse, brought out hundreds of evil teenagers from Zhuo County, and went to Jizhou to quell the rebellion for the imperial court, although the people in the world looked down on them, because they were just a group of villagers!
But Liu Bei didn't care, he had been to many places in the following days, he had seen the majestic city of Luoyang City from afar when he was helping the captain Wuqiu Jian recruit troops, and the rough lines shrouded in clouds and mist made him unforgettable, and he had also stepped on the sandy land of Qingzhou.
Because his ancestors practiced this truth...... A brave man, when the four seas are home!
