Chapter 2555: Bai Qi made the three armies, Yue Fei and Zhang Liao went out of the fortress
Chapter 2555: Bai Qi mobilized all three armies, Yue Fei and Zhang Liao went out of the fortress
As the governor of Youzhou, Wei Yang smiled and shook his head after hearing Yue Fei's words, and retorted with the same confidence:
"What Governor Yue said is wrong. If our army does not send troops to support, Maodun will only end up being wiped out. Therefore, Maodun dare not not cede territory."
Bai Qi would ask Mao Dun to cede the city. Naturally, it was not his own attention, but Wei Yang's idea.
Wei Yang had calculated that Mao Dun did not dare to refuse. Even if the lion asked him to cede Sheng Le City, he could only grit his teeth and agree in order to protect himself with reinforcements.
After hearing this, Bai Qi thought it made sense, so he stopped the three armies and told Bank of China that he would cede the city as a condition. After all, Da Qin would benefit greatly from getting Shengle City.
Yue Fei and Gongsun Yangling, one is in charge of the army and the other is in charge.
The two cooperated with each other and have been extremely harmonious in governing Youzhou for the past two years.
Yue Fei also knew that Gongsun Yang was a brilliant strategist and had no final plan, but he still stubbornly believed in his own opinion on this matter.
After all, Mao Dun was famous for being stingy, so how could he be willing to cede Shengle City?
As soon as Wei Yang finished speaking, a soldier ran into the hall and respectfully handed a letter to Bai Qi's soldiers, who then handed it over to Bai Qi.
After Bai Qi took it apart and took a look, the corners of his mouth turned up involuntarily, and then he returned to his usual iceberg face and said calmly: "Modun has agreed to cede Shengle City."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was instantly upset. Yue Fei was even more shocked, but soon showed a look of ecstasy.
Yuanmeng has been operating in Shengle City for many years, and this city has become a solid stronghold.
If Da Qin can obtain Shengle City, it will not only completely incorporate the Guisui Grassland into its territory, but also have a strong fortress on the grassland.
If the grassland forces want to invade Youzhou in the future, they must remove the nail in Shengle City.
"Where is Yue Fei?"
When Yue Fei heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he immediately stood up, clasped his fists awkwardly, and shouted: "The general is here."
Yue Fei was used to being the number one in Jingzhou. Apart from his lord, he was the only one who gave orders to others. This was the first time he was ordered by someone, but how could Bai Qi be his immediate boss?
Bai Qi didn't notice what Dao Yuefei was doing, and he ordered: "I order you to go to Daijun immediately and lead the 20,000 cavalry stationed in Daijun to enter the grassland from Daijun to rescue Maodun.
There is an error."
"No." Yue Fei shouted.
"Immediately send out flying pigeons to send a message to Zhang Liao at Yanmen Pass and Huo Bing at Zhenbeiguan, asking them to march together."
"promise."
Following Bai Qi's order, the three Qin army cavalry stationed at the border began to take action.
Daijun, the Great Wall, the expeditionary army camp, the county guards and many Qin generals were all waiting for Yue Fei's arrival.
When they learned that Youzhou's 20,000 cavalry would leave Daijun, Guoyuan, the prefect of Daijun, and Xunyi, the minister of the county, prepared food, grass and ordnance for the army early.
After all, this was Da Qin's second outing, and the first after the founding of the People's Republic of China. There was absolutely no room for any mistakes.
Even Gongsun Kang, the captain of Daijun, was preparing to go out with the army, but Daijun's cavalry was not within the range of the fortress.
Gongsun Kang came from the Gongsun family, and his father Gongsun Du was also a prince.
What many people don't know is that there were actually four countries during the Three Kingdoms period, and the fourth country besides Wei, Shu and Wu was the Yan Kingdom established by the Gongsun family of Liaodong.
As for why no one mentioned it? It’s because Yan State’s strength is too weak and its existence time is too short.
Anyone who knows the Three Kingdoms knows that Sima Yi's "Hundred Days Conquest of Liao" destroyed the Yan Kingdom in less than three months, creating a military miracle.
The Yan State, which was so weak and could not help but fight, naturally did not have the qualifications to be on par with Shu and Wu.
However, although the Yan State was weak, it was compared to the two countries Wei, Shu and Wu. Compared with the Xianbei, Goguryeo, Fuyu and other countries in Northeast Asia at that time, the Yan State was also a giant.
Among the four generations of monarchs, Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Yuan, except for Gongsun Yuan who had a brain problem and repeatedly jumped between Wei and Wu, the other three were all qualified princes.
However, it is still better than the previous one.
They naturally don't have the ability to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but they are good at bullying all the tribes in the grassland.
Four generations of the Gongsun family managed and developed Liaodong, wiping out all the foreign races around them and sheltering the people for decades. History books call it "the majestic expansion of Haidong".
After Sima Yi destroyed the Yan Kingdom, he did not occupy Liaodong, but moved the people of Liaodong into Youzhou. This directly ruined the achievements of the Gongsun family for four generations.
Cao Wei was sitting on the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, and the land was fertile, so naturally he looked down upon the bitter cold land of Liaodong.
However, Liaodong, which Sima Yi regarded as a burden, was a hot commodity in the eyes of the surrounding foreigners.
Sima Yi moved the people of Liaodong away, and without the Gongsun family in charge, Liaodong was quickly occupied by the surrounding foreign races. This also caused the strength of the foreign races to skyrocket, and finally they had the strength to launch the Five Husties to invade China.
In other words, Sima Yi also has some unshirkable responsibilities for the future Wuhu chaos in China.
In this life, Gongsun Du was still the same Gongsun Du, but his opponent was no longer the alien race in the original history, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was hundreds of times stronger.
But even so, Gongsun Du did not admit defeat. Even after repeated defeats, he still persisted in reaching Liaodong. However, the strength gap with the Manchu Qing Dynasty was too great, and he finally had to lead the remaining troops to seek refuge with Gongsun Zan after the defeat.
Gongsun Zan had some scruples about whether to appoint Gongsun Du. After all, he and Gongsun Du only had the same surname and the same clan and did not have a deep friendship in private. Gongsun Du's previous status was not inferior to his own, so Gongsun Zan was worried that he would not be willing to be subordinate to him.
It was Gongsun Xuanyuan who persuaded Gongsun Zan to completely dispel his doubts and get Gongsun Du to be reused.
After Gongsun Zan died, Gongsun Xuanyuan succeeded to the throne and continued to reuse Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du had no second thoughts.
Later, Gongsun Shu rebelled, and Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Yue were unwilling to join in the rebellion, so they were all killed by Gongsun Shu.
Poor Gongsundu fought with foreigners for more than ten years in Liaodong. He was instrumental in fighting the Manchus externally, and he was one of the thirty-six princes who attacked the Dong Dynasty internally. However, he did not die at the hands of the foreigners, but died at the hands of Gongsun's family.
Human hands.
As for Gongsun Shu, he was killed by Ran Min when he was besieging Ran Min.
After Gongsun Xuanyuan brought the Gongsun family to Qin, in addition to generals such as Gongsun Yu and Liu Yi, as well as civil servants such as Guoyuan, Bingyuan, Wang Lie, Wang Xiu, Xu Qian, and Jia Fan, Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong, sons of Gongsun Du,
, Gongsun Zan's brother Gongsun Fan, and his son Gongsun Xu also joined the Qin Dynasty.
As long as the surrendered ministers of Gongsun's line were outstanding in ability, they all got Ying Hao. At present, Guoyuan has become the prefect of Daijun, and Bingyuan has also become the prefect of Shanggu county.
As for the young sons of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Kang was undoubtedly the most outstanding in ability. He could not only lead troops, but also govern an area. After surrendering to the Qin Dynasty, he made many military exploits, so he was promoted by Wei Yang to the rank of Commander-in-Chief of Daijun.
"Your Excellency, Governor Yue Fei is here." Xun Yi, the county minister, reported with a smile.
Under Guoyuan's watchful eyes, Yue Fei led Gao Chong, Xiong Kuohai and other generals into the stronghold, and neatly issued the order to go out. Then the whole army became busy and began to make preparations for breaking out of the camp.
Prepare.
After all the generals left, Guoyuan came over and said sternly: "The Governor is leaving the fortress this time. Please take the five hundred cavalrymen from Daijun with him. They are all passionate sons of our Qin Dynasty. I think they will definitely give you a favor when they come."
It will help you, the Governor."
After saying this, the Commander-in-Chief, Gongsun Kang, stood up, knelt down half-kneeling, clasped his fists, and shouted: "The Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief Gongsun Kang, is willing to follow the Commander-in-Chief out of the fortress."
Yue Fei thought for a while and felt that it was okay to bring these 500 cavalry. After all, even if a lone army went deep into the grassland, there would be more than one cavalry, so he accepted Gongsun Kang's 500 cavalry.
Soon afterwards, 20,500 Youzhou cavalry, led by the Grand Governor Yue Fei, left the fortress from Daijun, entered the Guisui Grassland, and surrounded Shengle City.
Bingzhou, Yanmen County, Yanmen Pass.
As a large county in Bingzhou and one of the gateways to the Northern Territory of the Qin Dynasty, Yanmen County has hoarded a large amount of grain, grass and military supplies. Not to mention providing 20,000 cavalry to go out, even 60,000 is completely enough.
After receiving Bai Qi's order, Zhang Liao, the governor of Bingzhou, had already made preparations to leave the fortress, but was delayed by some things.
The Qin army in Bingzhou was far less open-minded than the two Youhe states in accepting that the fundamental purpose of this expedition was to rescue Maodun.
Since the time of Qin and Wen, a large number of soldiers from Bingzhou died in the wars with the Xiongnu and Yuanmeng. Therefore, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers in Bingzhou, there is widespread hatred towards the Yuanmeng, including the Dafa.
Governor Zhang Liao.
Although Zhang Liao hated Yuanmeng, he knew that the purpose of rescuing Maodun was to keep Yuanmeng divided and fighting among themselves, so naturally he would not do anything bad because of hatred, but the middle and low-level generals and soldiers at the bottom did not care about this.
They only knew that Mao Dun, whom they were going to save now, had led troops into Bingzhou many times, killed their fathers and brothers, and massacred their fellow villagers. But now that they wanted to save this big enemy, they were naturally worried.
Don't want to anymore.
Zhang Liao learned that among the 20,000 troops he had summoned, there was general resistance to this expedition, and he was suddenly in trouble.
Zhang Liao also tried to enlighten these people, but his eloquence was average. He could enlighten middle and low-level generals, but he could not do anything with ordinary soldiers because they did not understand the truth at all.
Zhang Liao had no choice but to ask Xiao He, the governor of Yanmen, to enlighten the generals and soldiers.
Xiao He, as the cousin of Concubine Xiao, could also be regarded as a relative of the emperor. He had been serving as a county minister in the Wei army before. Both Zhuge Jin, the governor of Wei County, and Zhuge Liang, the governor, were full of praise for Xiao He's work ability.
Later, when Xiao He was promoted due to his political performance and was transferred to Bingzhou to serve as the governor of Yanmen, Zhuge Liang, the governor of Jizhou, was still somewhat reluctant.
Zhuge Liang originally wanted to wait for Zhuge Jin to be promoted, then promote Xiao He to serve as the prefect of Wei County, and then act as his right-hand man, but he did not expect that Xiao He had already caught the eye of his majesty, and was directly parachuted by the court to serve as the prefect of Yanmen.
Although Wei County is the largest county in Jizhou, Yanmen County is not bad either. It is at the forefront of the border and is close to Yuan and Meng. It can accumulate both political achievements and military exploits.
Zhuge Liang couldn't stop Xiao He's future, so he reluctantly let him go.
Not long after, Zhuge Jin, the governor of Wei County, was also promoted to Bingzhou Biejia. All the first and second leaders of Wei County were transferred to Bingzhou.
People with ability can stand out wherever they go.
The same is true for Xiao He. After he became the governor of Yanmen County, Yanmen County, which had fallen into a bottleneck period, once again radiated new vitality, and both its population and economy developed rapidly.
Xiao He's intelligence is 94, his political attributes are 103, and his charisma has reached 97. He can naturally be tasked with enlightening middle- and low-level generals and soldiers.
Xiao He's method of enlightenment was also very simple. He chose to use a speech method, gathering all the soldiers, 4,000 people at a time, giving a two-hour speech and two hours of questions.
"Soldiers... Barabara... do you all understand now?"
"Understood……"
Xiao He gave speeches for three consecutive days and held five speech conferences. Twenty thousand Bingzhou wolf riders listened to his speech.
After Xiao He's half-day lecture-style enlightenment, basically the soldiers on the ninth floor will understand that they are not going out to save the enemy this time, but to kill the enemy. Instead of resisting going out, they are all gearing up and preparing.
After entering the grassland, he made great achievements and took revenge.
Seeing that Xiao He had completed the task, Zhang Liao also breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to the generals: "Huh, it's finally solved."
"Yes, it's solved, but I can also understand the soldiers." Gao Shun said with emotion.
"Who would have thought that our brothers, who have been fighting against the Huns for more than ten years, would join forces with this guy Moton to fight Kublai Khan one day." Xu Huang said with a bitter smile.
"This is really a trick of fate." Lu Bu sighed softly.
