Hearing Liu Ming's careful questioning, Dagou was obviously unprepared. Hearing this, he said in a daze: "The Gongsun dog thief is the Gongsun dog thief! Those who came to steal food are all official servants. According to them, he is a Gongsun dog thief."
He is a general who is wiping out the rebels, and also wants to fight Wu Heng and other Xianbei people to protect us from harm. This is all bullshit! Our village was wiped out by this Gongsun thief, and he is still being used to protect us!"
Liu Ming was greatly shocked by Big Dog's words! Liu Ming originally thought that the massacre of villages and villages was carried out by uncivilized ethnic minorities, but now listening to what Big Dog said, it was clearly officials who were the protectors.
The crime committed by the army - Gongsun Zan! This made Liu Ming very puzzled. Why did the officers and soldiers harm the people like this?
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also heard that this atrocity was committed by Gongsun Zan. It was somewhat different from what they originally expected. However, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not as affected as Liu Ming was. Anyway, no matter who they killed, they would be killed.
Those are the words of the eldest brother. The generals other than Guan and Zhang will take the lord’s will as the criterion!
Only Guo Jia didn't take it seriously! Guo Jia was not interested at all in who did it. It was Guo Jia's expectation that it was Gongsun Zan who did it. The territory where the rebels are located here is still far away.
, as for the Xianbei and other ethnic groups, it is even beyond their reach! Apart from that, of course, only the various people from the mainland are left. At this time, the only person who has strength here is Liu Ming and Gongsun Zan. Since Liu Ming did not do it himself
Of course it was Gongsun Zan who could do it. So Guo Jia was not surprised at all by the result. Guo Jia just felt sorry for Gongsun Zan’s stupidity!
Guo Jia secretly analyzed: This Gongsun Zan is extremely cruel and thoughtless! He doesn't cherish his reputation at all. He just slaughters villages and destroys villages. He actually wants to leave an example for others. This is not only arousing public anger, but also
What? The funniest thing is that he was still alive, and he didn’t do things cleanly at all. How could such a reckless man achieve such great things!
After Guo Jia finished his analysis, he began to figure out what kind of benefits Big Dog could bring to Liu Ming.
At this time, Liu Ming had woken up from the shock. Although Liu Ming couldn't understand, Liu Ming secretly made up his mind to wipe out the scum Gongsun Zan.
At that moment, Liu Ming ordered his men to take some gold to Big Dog, and said to Big Dog: "Big Dog, take this money, find a place, and live a good life! I will avenge your village for you."
of!"
Big Dog looked at the gold in his hand and listened to Liu Ming's words. He couldn't believe that all of this was true. The official not only made the decision for his village, but also gave him money. The world has really changed! There is still such a thing.
A good official?
The big dog muttered: "What kind of official is this general?"
There was an old man from Huxiao Villa next to him (originally a soldier of Huxiao Villa, not an older person), and he said proudly: "This is our General Liu! Our General Liu was originally the owner of Huxiao Villa.
, Now Lord Mu of Youzhou, my general is the biggest in Youzhou, and our general is a relative of the emperor, so just wait for our general to avenge you! You silly boy, why don’t you thank my general immediately!"
The big dog said to himself: "General Liu, the owner of Huxiao Villa,..."
Suddenly, the big dog exclaimed: "I know, General Liu is Han Guanggong, Liu Dashan! I heard the storyteller in the village said General Liu."
Then, the big dog ran up to Liu Ming, put the gold in his hand on the ground, kowtowed to Liu Ming and said: "General Liu, I don't want money, please accept me! I want to follow you, and I want to take revenge with my own hands."
!" As the big dog said, he kept kowtowing hard. The force was so strong that the big dog's forehead started to bleed, but the big dog didn't feel any pain at all!
Liu Ming held onto the big dog heartbrokenly and said, "Stop knocking! I'll accept you!"
Just now, Guo Jia felt pity that Liu Ming wanted the big dog to find another way to make a living. Now that the big dog came to his door automatically, Guo Jia was very happy. It was a useful chess piece and should be protected well.
Guo Jia said to Liu Ming: "My lord, this big dog is very loyal. But he has neither training nor combat experience, and we are about to go to war with the traitor Zhang Ju. The war will be ruthless and there will be casualties."
! Please, my lord, consider the big dog’s pitiful background and let him go to the rear for training first, and then use it!”
Hearing Guo Jia's advice, Big Dog said unappreciatively: "General, all of my Big Dog's relatives are dead. My Big Dog is not afraid of death! I want to go to the battlefield with you!"
Liu Ming felt that what Guo Jia said was very reasonable and humane, so he comforted the big dog and said: "Don't be impatient, big dog. You will definitely go to the battlefield. It's just that after training, you can kill the enemy better and contribute more!"
The big dog heard what Liu Ming said and nodded in agreement.
Next to him, Guo Jia took the opportunity to say: "My lord, now that we are marching out, it is difficult to place the big dogs. If we go back for training, I think it is better to place the big dogs in the supply camp first. How about arranging the training of the big dogs after the war?"
"
Liu Ming nodded in agreement.
It's night! Guo Jia visits the camp where Liu Ming is staying.
Guo Jia asked Liu Mingdao: "My lord, do you know who this Gongsun dog thief is?"
Liu Ming replied angrily: "Fengxiao, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Couldn't you tell that this Gongsun thief is Gongsun Zan?"
Guo Jia smiled but did not answer, and asked again: "How are you going to deal with General Gongsun, my lord?"
Liu Ming said impulsively: "Of course I want to question him. After he admits it, I will punish him according to the national law and exonerate the innocent people!"
"My lord, what you said is wrong!" Guo Jia said, shaking his head.
Liu Ming asked angrily: "Where did Fengxiao say that? Isn't it worth killing this Gongsun thief for what he did? Does Fengxiao still want to intercede with him?"
Guo Jia shook his head and said: "My lord, considering Gongsun Zan's behavior, it is not an exaggeration to kill him! However, what if Gongsun Zan does not admit that he did these actions! What should my lord do?"
Liu Ming was stunned when he heard this and said: "Don't admit it? Will he deny it? Doesn't he want to warn other villages? Doesn't he use this village as an example? And we also have the testimony of the survivor Big Dog, which can be said to be conclusive evidence.
The evidence is solid. How can we allow him to quibble?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "My lord, you think simply. Of course Gongsun Zan will admit this when it does not threaten his own interests, but if others use these to accuse him, then he can kill an army sergeant at will, saying that it is
The people below are doing whatever they want under his banner, but he doesn't know anything. In this case, how can the Lord deal with it? Moreover, those small things such as slaughtering villages and killing people will never bother Gongsun Zan himself.
If we take action, even if Da Gou personally testifies, it won't be a big disadvantage to Gongsun Zan! What's more, Da Gou is a person who speaks lightly, so how can we use this to determine Gongsun Zan's guilt!"
Liu Ming didn't expect that Guo Jia would analyze it like this. In modern society, Liu Ming had also heard about some political darkness abroad, but at this time, his own personal experience was a little different. Liu Ming couldn't help but fell into chaos for a while.
Speechless.
However, Guo Jia did not give up! Then he said to Liu Ming: "Lord, these are just our guesses. But even if Gongsun Zan admits to slaughtering villages and killing people, what can we do to Gongsun Zan?"
Liu Ming asked Guo Jiadao in the confusion: "Why did Fengxiao say this?"
Guo Jiayan said: "My lord, Gongsun Zan, I learned from my intelligence that as an important member of the imperial court, he held the talisman to serve as the governor of the capital. He had heavy troops and Pingbianzhang. During Han Sui's rebellion, he already had four thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of soldiers.
During the Yellow Turban turmoil, in response to the imperial order, the army was expanded. Now there are 5,000 cavalry and 40,000 soldiers. If the lord rashly punishes him! Wouldn't this force him to rebel? And at this time, the lord is
At the time of annihilating Zhang Ju and rebelling against the Party!"
Liu Ming said to himself: "In this way, we will let him get away with it? If he has committed such a crime, should we not punish him?"
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, how could it be? We are going to use Youzhou as the cornerstone. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain! How can we let him be proud! However, national affairs are the most important thing now. We still have to cooperate with him first.
, put down the rebellion. After Youzhou is stabilized, we will slowly deal with him. At that time, we will divide his power first, remove his military power, and finally he will be left alone! It’s not what we want.
, so be it! As the saying goes, if you want to incriminate yourself, why bother! Besides, we have conclusive evidence of Gongsun Zan!"
Liu Ming was shocked that Guo Jia was so insidious and cunning, but Guo Jia's suggestion was definitely the best idea for him at this time! Liu Ming was not a good man or woman. He was a stubborn and pedantic defender.
Of course, he happily agreed. Anyway, he was using it on others, not himself! From this point of view, it was really a wise decision to get Guo Jia to his side in advance!
There was no words all the way. On this day, Liu Ming had led his troops to approach the battlefield of Feiru! At this time, a detective horse came to report that a group of soldiers and horses were defeated seven miles ahead. Looking at the flag, it should be our people from Youzhou, and now they are being attacked.
A group of aliens are in pursuit.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals were all excited and immediately asked Liu Ming for orders to attack.
This time Liu Ming came with the following military officers: Guan and Zhang, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Tuoba Ying. Wen officers included Guo Jia and Su Shuang. The others were guarded by Zang Ba at Tianma City and Li Lang at Zhuojun Courtyard.
, while Xiang Huatuo, Yang Jun, Guan Ning, Bing Yuan, etc. were left to handle the political affairs of Taiping in Youzhou and gradually took over Youzhou.
Before Liu Ming could give the order to send anyone to attack, he could already see the defeated army Zheng Chen in the distance. Liu Ming had fought against the Yellow Turbans many times and knew how terrifying it was for the defeated army to break up their formation!
Liu Ming immediately issued an order: "Send the order! Order the sergeants to form a square formation to meet the enemy! Send someone to guide the defeated army and bypass the formation. Order the sergeants, if any of the defeated army rushes within a hundred steps of the camp, they will be killed without mercy!"
After the order was passed, Liu Ming asked Tuoba Ying to lead the assault cavalry and Zhang Fei to lead the strong cavalry to go around to the flank of the enemy and attack the pursuing enemy. While he led Guan Yu, Huang Zhong, Dian Wei and Guo Jia
, Supervise the formation in front of the formation!
After a while, the formation of Liu Ming's troops was already in place, and the defeated army had already fled close. Although the defeated troops in Liu Ming's sergeant county shouted, they moved around the formation, but now these defeated troops were just running for their lives.
, who would pay attention to this, seeing the banner of the same Youzhou, they naturally swarmed up, trying to escape from here for their lives.
Liu Ming's troops had already received Liu Ming's orders. Seeing how polite these deserters were when they came forward, within a hundred steps, Liu Ming's archers who had recently been transferred from various parts of Youzhou began to attack.
The bows and arrows were released, and Liu Ming's crossbowmen were also ready and ready to go.
And those Liu Ming's original sword and shield soldiers who were closer to the front were hitting their shields with their swords and shouting loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill!..." And those Youzhou soldiers who were recently transferred from all over Youzhou
The infantrymen also shouted loudly with them!
The rain of arrows from the locusts hit the heads of the defeated troops, killing one or two hundred people at that time. Under the rain of arrows, the defeated troops calmed down a little. They looked at the troops in front of them, who were waiting in full formation, and listened to the shouts of the troops in front of them.
With the sound of killing, these defeated troops did not dare to rush forward any more, but they were also afraid of the pursuit from behind, so these defeated troops began to flee around the formation.
At this time, a general, protected by dozens of guards on white horses, also retreated to Liu Ming's troops. He shouted from a distance away from Liu Ming's troops: "Are those in front of you the general's troops? Why?
Block the way of our army?"
At Liu Mingde's signal, a military academy shouted back: "We are Youzhou Mu, General Liu's troops. Don't break up our formation. You can go around the formation. We will fend off the pursuers for you."
!”
The general was also a veteran of the battlefield, so he knew that what the other party said was true. He was not polite at the moment, cupped his hand, and led his troops to bypass the formation of Liu Ming's troops.
The pursuers who followed closely behind also caught up. Those pursuers were all riding light and fast horses, wielding scimitars in their hands, carrying bows and arrows. They had no armor on their bodies, only cloth clothes. The horses were also unarmored, let alone
There are no stirrups, there is just a cloth saddle draped on the horse's back. It is obviously the dress of a barbarian.
These foreigners pursued them very close, and when they saw Liu Ming and the others, they stood ready! They did not dare to pursue the defeated army anymore, for fear that Liu Ming and his army would launch an attack from the side or the rear while they were pursuing.
After waiting for a while, these foreigners gathered together. Drink! Looking at it this way, these foreigners are no less than a cavalry group of more than ten thousand people!
At this time, these foreigners obviously received some instructions. Many cavalry scattered and rushed towards Liu Ming's camp. It seemed that they wanted to annihilate Liu Ming's troops in one fell swoop!
