It is not surprising that Gongsun Du had the idea of surrender.
Since his discovery, Gongsun Du has been traveling in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning all year round, dealing with barbarians such as Wuhuan, Sushen, and Goguryeo.
He has always put the interests of the Han Dynasty first and took protecting the mountains and rivers of the Han Dynasty as his own responsibility.
But now, as time goes by, the situation becomes more and more difficult, and they even lose the supplement within the pass. This makes Gongsun Du often sigh, the Han Dynasty as big as the sun and the moon will also perish, let alone his persistence.
So after he withdrew to Liaodong, he had the idea of surrender. He even thought that after he consolidated the four counties of Liaodong, he would take these four counties to surrender to the Taishan Army. The title of a prince was uncertain, but he would still have glory and wealth.
But at this historical juncture, especially the moment of choosing his personal destiny, his destiny reached a fork.
…
Just when Gongsun Du was thinking about revealing his intention of surrender, an old man who was an old servant of his family suddenly ran in from outside the hall.
This man stumbled and stumbled, and as soon as he arrived in the hall, he collapsed on the ground and cried:
"Master, the old master and the young master are gone."
As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Du was heartbroken, and finally he patiently listened to the old servant's story.
It turns out that Gongsundu's family's hometown in the four counties of Liaodong was actually in Xuantu.
At that time, his father Gongsun Yan took him to escape the chaos and moved to Xuantu. It was also there that he met the noble man in his life, Gongsun Qi, the prefect of Xuantu.
After that, although Gongsundu's base was all in Liaodong, his family, especially his father, wife and children, continued to stay in Xuantu.
According to the old servant's account, after the Taishan Army crossed the Daliao River, they began to loot the nearby Wubi Manor.
On the one hand, this can supply food and harvest, on the other hand, it can defeat the powerful and recruit the servants of Guizhou.
This is the method by which Taishan Army got its start, and it is very familiar.
Because Xuantu's troops all gathered and huddled under Xuantu City, the Taishan Army's sudden cavalry rushed forward, constantly attacking and breaking through the powerful dock walls in the countryside.
Manors are being breached every day.
And every time a wall is broken, there will be enthusiastic servants leading the Taishan Army to ride to the next house. In this way, with the guidance of many levels, the wall of Gongsun Du's hometown is naturally not immune.
During this process, Gongsun Du's tribe revolted, led by Gongsun Du's eldest son, Gongsun Kang.
The final result was of course no exception. All members of Gongsun's family died in the battle, and only the young Gongsun Gong escaped back to Liaodong with the help of his old servants.
When he learned that he had lost all his skills and only had a young son left, Gongsun Du fainted.
When he woke up again, Gongsun Du was filled with anger and decided to mobilize the Liaodong troops to fight to the death with the Taishan army.
…
The next day, Xiangping, on the bank of Taizi River.
Gongsun Du performed martial arts here, informed the whole army of the outrageous actions of the soldiers and gods of Mount Tai, and encouraged all the officers and men in the army to shed the last drop of their blood for the sake of the Han Dynasty, their wives, children, and their clan.
At this moment, as many as 20,000 Liaodong soldiers gathered on the banks of the Taizi River.
Among them were three thousand soldiers from various noble families, including five thousand members of the Qu tribe of Youzhou scholars, two thousand Liaodong border soldiers, five thousand remnants of the Zhenbei army, three thousand Yiding cavalry, and Wuhuan soldiers.
Five thousand in eastern Liaoning.
There is also a Goguryeo coalition army of about 8,000 people nearby, preparing to set off together.
Among this huge force, there are 3,000 elite soldiers.
These three thousand people are not soldiers, but Hu and Han warriors recruited by Gongsun Du. They are his descendants. Since entering Liaodong, Gongsun Du has eaten rough food, and these three thousand people are all fat sheep. Gongsun Du wears
Wearing brown linen clothes, these three thousand people, barbarians, Ding, and cavalry are all standing in wait.
And now is the time to make these people fight to the death.
And because most of the households in Liaodong are immigrants from Qing, You, and Hebei, it can be said that these armed forces are both prosperous and destructive.
They knew that if these Liaodong soldiers were destroyed, they would not be able to survive here.
So once Gongsun Du showed them his determination to fight to the death, these people also ruined their families and sent all the family members into the army.
It can be said that this is the last battle for these Northland powerful men who will be eliminated by the times.
At this time, on the military viewing platform, they looked at the tigers and warriors on the banks of the Taizi River. The confidence of these powerful northerners was soaring. They paid cattle and wine to comfort the Liaodong soldiers, hoping that they would win.
Surrounded by a group of Liaodong athletes, under the command of the Pingzhou governor, Gongsun Du sat on the high seat, and saw tigers and leopards arrayed below him, strong men wearing armor and carrying troops, shouting with great ambition:
"Drive out the moth thieves and help the Han Dynasty!"
The densely packed Liaodong soldiers below all shouted:
"Drive out the moth thieves and help the Han Dynasty!"
His voice shook the mountains and rivers, and his military fortunes were clear.
Seeing this, Gongsun Du asked the tall scholar next to him, who was also the one who sang and read the letter asking for help yesterday:
"Xin'er, how are our soldiers doing?"
This person was Li Xin, Li Min's son, who later worshiped Gongsun Du as his adoptive father.
Li Xin bowed respectfully and said sincerely:
"This Heavenly Soldier is a grand event for the Wu family that I haven't seen in Liaodong for a hundred years."
Then Gongsun Du shouted:
"Can I avenge the hatred of my country and my family?"
The last word "family hatred" popped out from between his teeth, showing how Gongsun Du was gritting his teeth.
After Li Xin heard this, he was also shocked. He was determined to avenge his father, and the sound of gold and iron sounded:
"I have asked you to mention this tiger. Why can't it be broken? Who can stop it? Xin is willing to accompany his adoptive father to drive out the moth thieves and help the Han Dynasty!"
Gongsun Du directly held Li Xin's hand and said with emotion:
"Okay, you and I, father and son, will go into battle together. This time it's not about revenge!"
Finally, Gongsun Du killed the white ox and the white horse and sacrificed them to heaven. Then he put up a banner and wrote the three great hatreds:
"National hatred", "family hatred", "disorder".
In this way, the three armies of Liaodong moved towards Xuantu City, one hundred and fifty miles away to the north.
…
At this time, under Xuantu City, the Taishan Army did not know that reinforcements from Liaodong had been sent, and the entire battlefield remained calm.
In a tent, young Guan Ping was writing family letters quickly on plain paper.
Because Guan Yu doesn't like to be concealed and believes that a hero will be honored immediately, so now Guan Ping's identity is only known to Zhang Chong and other senior officials, and the rest is known to Tai Shi Ci alone.
At this time, in his one-person tent, Guan Ping showed the youthfulness and straightforwardness of a young man. In his letter home to Guan Yu, he wrote:
"Hello, father, how is your mother at home? Are all the elders and children at home okay? Winter is coming, and my mother's legs have been clammy. I hunted a fox skin a few days ago and asked a friend to make it and send it to me.
To mother."
"I am now living in the same camp with Brother Ziyi. Before that, we had just crossed the Daliao River and arrived at Xuantu. Once Xuantu was captured, Xiangping was in sight. I think I can return to Fengping in a few months.
high."
"I have to ask my father for help, that is, my son is short of money in the army. This is not because I am addicted to gambling in the army, but to maintain the dignity of a captain. Many brothers in the army told me that their families are in trouble.
Borrow money from me. I definitely have to borrow the money, and they won't be able to pay it back for a while. But now that the army is in Liaodong, I have encountered a lot of good leather materials. I want to buy a batch back and make them for my family.
A coat. So father, please send me another three thousand dollars, quickly! Otherwise, all the leather materials will be bought by the military commander."
"Also, my son is about to win the championship after this time. I want my father to find a matchmaker for my son, so I go to Donglai. I often hear brother Ziyi say that Donglai women are tall, white and strong, and I admire them. So please invite me.
My father asked me if any of the brothers in Donglai are from good families, and I can see them when my son comes back. This matter is also very urgent."
"There is another urgent matter. On the way to the Eastern Expedition, a disciple of Feng Gao died of illness on the side of the road. His bones have been collected by the military commander, but I still want to ask my father to deduct a sum from my share.
I will send it to his family to represent my respect for him. I will write his home address at the end of the article and ask my father to entrust someone to handle it."
"Finally, there is an urgent matter. The king held a banquet with the generals a few days ago, and his son was there. The king asked me how to govern Liaodong if Liaodong is settled. My son was speechless when asked, and felt that he had lost his father's face. So.
I just want to ask my father, if he were a father, how would he answer?"
"Finally, your dear eldest son brought you a piece of old Liaodong ginseng, which is the son's trophy. It is specially used to nourish your father."
After writing the letter home, Guan Ping wrapped a piece of old ginseng as thick as a chopstick in cloth, and then shouted outside:
"Asheng, come in quickly."
Then a clerk opened the big tent and came in with a chicken leg in his mouth, and his mouth was dripping with oil.
He first gave a skewer of barbecue to Guan Ping, and then listened to Guan Ping say:
"You go find Lao Zhang with your bags and my letter from home. This round of Chuanyi is about to leave, so hurry up."
The young general named Guo Sheng nodded hurriedly, took the package and was about to set off.
But at this moment, thundering war drums were heard from Qipan Mountain in the northeast, where the Chinese army was located.
Guan Ping shouted:
"Asheng, go quickly. There will be a battle soon!"
After saying that, the man named Guo Sheng disappeared.
…
No matter inside or outside the city, when the war drums on Qipan Mountain were beating loudly, everyone's peace came to an end.
The reason for the outbreak of war is very simple.
They were originally encamped in the south of the city to wait for the city camp, but for some unknown reason, they suddenly launched an attack on the Taishan Army in the north of the city.
This battalion does not have many people, but it has a cavalry regiment of about 200 people, led by the cavalry general He Xian.
He Xian is from Kansai and is an authentic Kansai warrior.
He followed Lu Zhi out of Hebei and participated in almost all the wars, including the Renting War in the final nightmare.
In that battle, many of He Xian's relatives from the Paoze clan died in the battle. Only he came down with the defeated troops, and then all the way to Liaodong.
Today he was drinking in the camp. The more he drank, the more sorrowful he became. He thought that outside were the enemies of his brothers. He Xian got drunk, got naked, and carried his horse and 200 cavalry.
The people yelling angrily in front of the Taishan military camp.
On the opposite side, it was Tai Shici's cavalry regiment. After hearing the abuse from the opposite side, they went out to fight directly.
He Xian was also a fierce general, but he met Tai Shi Ci.
Finally, He Xian was hit by four arrows and retreated to the north gate of Xuantu.
I don't know whether it was He Xian's bravery and bravery that made the soldiers at the North Gate excited or some other reason, but the North Gate suddenly opened wide.
Zhang Chong, who was watching the battle, discovered the opportunity and directly mobilized the entire army to fight!
