Chapter 0231: Trickery
Gongsun Han was very opinionated that Gongsun Yu was the first to jump out against him.
Originally, if Gongsun Wen and Gongsun Yu had supported him when the commander was elected before, then he would have won the position of commander of the coalition forces. Gongsun Han believes that he, as the eldest son of the Gongsun family and the eldest brother of Gongsun Wen and Gongsun Yu, deserves the support of the two.
However, considering that there is still a big enemy on the side, and the position of the commander of the coalition army is too tempting, Gongsun Wenwen is an ambitious person, and Gongsun Han will endure it.
But now that they have temporarily put aside the matter of recommending the commander-in-chief, and are discussing the matter of sending troops, why did Gongsun Yu be the first to jump out against him?
They are all from the Gongsun family of Liaodong, and it stands to reason that everyone belongs to the same camp, and they should be sincerely united and speak with one voice, but now Gongsun Yu jumped out to raise objections, which is tantamount to telling everyone that there is a contradiction between them, and it is a deep contradiction.
Gongsun Han was furious. Gongsun Yu did not reflect on his mistakes, did not sum up the lessons of defeat, but became more and more intensified, in order to take revenge on himself, he turned his face with himself in public, and even his brothers were unwilling to do it. It doesn't matter if there are no brothers between them, but Gongsun Yu provoked contradictions like this, which undoubtedly undermined the unity of the coalition forces. None of the leaders of the dominant forces of the coalition can unite, so what qualifications do they have to demand that the other forces unite with each other?
Gongsun Han saw the crisis.
Gongsun Yu glanced at Gongsun Han coldly and continued: "In the war with Li Yi in the first half of this year, we lost very badly, which shows that our strength is not enough. Now Li Yi leads tens of thousands of troops to sit in Xiangping, controlling most of the territory of Liaodong. We have not yet gained a firm foothold in Liaodong, let alone talk about conquering the five western counties, which is self-defeating. Is there anyone who is still ready to surrender to the imperial court after defeat? ”
The anger on Gongsun Han's face was even stronger.
Gongsun Wen, who was sitting next to Gongsun Yu, saw that Gongsun Han was angry, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pat the case, signaling Gongsun Yu to stop.
Gongsun Yu ignored him at all. He said loudly: "We should quickly occupy and consolidate the entire territory of Liaodong after taking Fanhan City, instead of rushing out again to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past." If we lose again, Li Yi will neither contain the prisoners, nor will he come to appease them again.
There was silence in the tent.
Yi Yimu strode to the middle of the tent, raised his hand, and said, "Everyone, everyone, listen to me first. Now the priority is to take the city of Fanhan immediately. Whether we attack the five western counties or hold on to Liaodong. Conquering Fanhan City and occupying the entire territory of Lelang County and the eastern part of Liaodong County is the premise, so we can put this dispute aside for the time being, and discuss how to attack Fanhan City first, what do you think? ”
Gongsun Han bowed his head slightly and said, "The lord of the country is right. We still take Fanhan City as soon as possible, so as not to cause any accidents and accidents. Li Yi's use of soldiers has always been nowhere to be found. Good at fighting and running, making people unguardable. It is better for us to drive him out of Liaodong as soon as possible. ”
Yi Yimo looked at Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Wen with a smile, and asked with a pleasant face, "What do you think?" ”
"I don't think it's right." Gongsun Wen said, "Our army of more than 100,000 gathered under the city of Fanhan. It's not a joke that there isn't even a commander of the army. Even if the city is attacked, there must be a unified dispatch and unified command, right? Shall we fight each one against each other, and fight with one another? ”
He glanced around at everyone. He said loudly: "Today, the army is gathered under the city, and we cannot do without a command. So I think we should put in command of the whole army on an interim basis. My fifth brother Gongsun Yu was the first warrior to raise troops in Liaodong, the first hero to hold high the banner of beheading traitors and killing corrupt officials and Qing Jun, and the earliest commander of the Liaodong army. ”
Many generals in the big tent nodded again and again, Gongsun Yu is famous, of course he is more suitable than Gongsun Han to be the commander of the army. The reason why he gave up the position of coach in the back was just because of family pressure. And facts have proved that after Gongsun Han took over as the commander of the army, he suffered defeats one after another, indicating that he was not a qualified coach.
Gongsun Lei, Gongsun Yu and a group of children of the Gongsun family of Liaodong subordinate states, after experiencing a series of things that happened this year, also felt that Beigong Sun Yu should take this handsome position for granted. What's more, this son was originally his, and he gave it to Gongsun Han himself.
Gongsun Han saw that a group of children of the Gongsun family who originally supported him actually defected and turned to support Gongsun Yu, and his nose was almost crooked.
After Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Wen annexed Yang Zhong's men and horses this time, they already had an army of 50,000. Now with the support of Gongsun Lei and others, the number of troops under his command has reached 90,000 horses, accounting for two-thirds of the total number of 150,000 coalition troops.
He is now the strongest army in the Liaodong Army.
Seeing that the general trend had gone, Yiyimu shook his head and said, "The lord of this country has just joined the army, and he doesn't understand many things, so he won't participate. ”
Immediately, he raised his head and shouted to Gongsun Wen: "General Gongsun Yu is the commander, do you have any opinions?" ”
There were suddenly a few echoing voices in the big tent, and several Gongsun Yu's subordinates shouted in succession to express their support.
Gongsun Lei spoke.
Gongsun Lei is in his forties, not tall, very ordinary-looking, dark-skinned, square-faced and short-bearded, and strong. He was originally not from the Gongsun family of Liaodong's vassal state, but a Xianbei person, and he was the leader of a tribe in Xianbei in the east.
Gongsun Lei doesn't like to talk much, he always has a smile on his face, and he seems to be a very gentle and open-minded person. But such an ordinary person is a nightmare for Liaodong people for decades, a nightmare that will never go away in the hearts of Liaodong people.
Gongsun Lei was fond of killing and plundering, and since he could go on horseback to fight, he has invaded the border almost every year, and he is never tired of it. He was dissolute and uninhibited, bold and righteous, and loved to make friends, and he was willing to make friends with both friends and foes. There are a lot of Liaodong people who have friends with him, and although the purpose is different, they all have one thing in common, that is, they hope that he will reduce the invasion, everyone will live in harmony, and live a peaceful life.
About twenty years ago, the great leader of Xianbei, Tanshi Huai, unified the Xianbei tribes. And Gongsun Lei's tribe is the object of unification. He suffered a crushing defeat in the battle against Tanshihuai, and led part of his men and horses to flee to Liaodong, where he belonged to the Gongsun family of Liaodong, and gave himself a new name called Gongsun Lei.
This spring, after Gongsun Yu rebelled, he was the first to lend a helping hand. This is related to the fact that Gongsun Yu actually has Xianbei blood, because Gongsun Yu's mother is a Xianbei person.
"Brother Gongsun Yu was originally the boss, what is there to fight for." Gongsun Lei smiled, "What did Brother Bo Ming say? ”
Gongsun Lei openly supports Gongsun Yu, which means that at least more than half of the strong strength of the Liaodong army is supporting Gongsun Yu, so what else is there to say.
Gongsun Han arched his hand and smiled: "I am willing to listen to the general's command." ”
"Where's the Lord of the Motherland?" Gongsun Lei turned his head to look at Yi Yimo.
"I agree." Knowing that the tide was turning, Ivam replied calmly.
"Then we'll talk about how to siege the city." Gongsun Lei smiled, "Everyone says something useful, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Don't attack the city yet." Someone in the tent suddenly shouted.
Everyone was stunned and followed the prestige.
King Xiaogu, the leader of the Nanbuyu tribe, slowly stood up from his seat.
"When Liu Lingjun was in the Lelang County Government a few years ago, he took great care of the Mahan tribe living in the Lieshui area. We Mahan people are grateful for his kindness, and we have not been able to repay him so far. Today, I led my troops with the army to attack Fanhan City and attack Liu Lingjun, this is the revenge of the general, and when I return to Mahan in the future, what face do I have to meet my hometown fathers? ”
As the leader of Nan Fuyu, who has been in power for nearly 20 years, Xiao Gu Wang is in his forties, with a broad body and a round waist, a long face and a beard, and looks like an honest herdsman, honest, persistent, stubborn, and righteous.
At the beginning of his reign, King Shogu fought against Silla because his father, King Gayro, took in the traitor Jisun of Silla (founded by Park Hyuk of the Park family of Jinhan in Segan). In July 167, he attacked the western border of Silla and captured two cities, and in August of the following year, Adaloni personally conquered King Sogu from Hansu (Han River) and returned to Silla to recapture the two cities.
Because of the continuous wars, the life of the people in Nanfu was not ordinary. At this time, they were taken care of by Liu Yi, a big Han official, which was a real charcoal in the snow, and the rest of the people in Nanfu were naturally grateful to Dade, not to mention King Xiao Gu, a tribal leader who thought he was righteous.
King Xiao Gu walked to the middle of the big tent, knelt on the ground, and said earnestly: "Everyone here knows Liu Lingjun's personality, and some of them are still his confidants and friends. Liu Lingjun is a good person and a clean official, and in this world, there are very few people like him now. I, King Xiao Gu, have no knowledge and don't know how to be a man, but I know that I want to repay my kindness, so I implore the marshal and all of you here to let Liu Lingjun have a way to live and let him return home. Can you say yes? ”
Gongsun Lei patted the case and praised: "Good man." ”
Gongsun Yu had just regained power, and he was in a very good mood, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "You go and persuade him." Liu Yi is gone, do you still need to fight this time in Khan City? It's going to be self-defeating right away. If you can persuade Liu Lingjun away, I thank you very much. ”
King Xiao Gu was overjoyed.
Gongsun Han and Yi Yimo glanced at each other, and a trace of shame flashed on their faces. In the past, they and Liu Yi have always had a close relationship, but neither of them thought of persuading them. Now that I brought it up to an outsider, I couldn't hold it on my face.
In fact, in their hearts, they all think that Liu Yi is a person with a strong personality, loyalty and bravery, and it is impossible to persuade him to surrender or give up Fanhan City, and it is useless to say it. (To be continued.) )
