Chapter 2555: Bai Qi mobilized all three armies, Yue Fei and Zhang Liao left 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 was sure that Mao Dun did not dare to refuse. Even if the lion asked him to cede Shengle City, he could only grit his teeth and agree in order to protect himself with reinforcements.

After hearing this, Bai Qi also felt that it made sense, so he stopped the three armies and proposed to the Bank of China to cede the city as a condition. After all, Da Qin benefited 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 of them 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 master of strategy and had no calculations, but he still stubbornly believed in his own opinion on this matter.

 After all, Maodun was famous for being stingy. 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 in turn handed it 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 immediately shocked. 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?”

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment when he heard the words. After reacting, he immediately stood up, clasped his fists awkwardly, and shouted: "The end will be here."

Yue Fei is used to being the leader in Jingzhou. Apart from his master, he has always been the only one to give orders to others. This was the first time he was ordered by someone, but who made Bai Qi his immediate boss?

Bai Qi didn't notice what Dao Yuefei was doing, and he ordered: "This governor orders you to go to Daijun immediately, lead the 20,000 cavalry stationed in Daijun, enter the grassland from Daijun, and rush to the aid of Maodun. mistaken."

 “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.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　)

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 cavalrymen would leave from Daijun, Guoyuan, the governor 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 the cavalry of Daijun 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 was because the Yan State was too weak and its existence was 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, was naturally not qualified 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.

 Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Yuan, among the four generations of monarchs, except for Gongsun Yuan who had a brain problem and repeatedly jumped between Wei and Wu, the other three were all qualified princes.

　　But it is still more than the top and less than the bottom.

 Let them deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, naturally they don't have this ability, 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. Instead, he 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 beautiful rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and the land was fertile, so naturally he looked down on the bitter cold land of Liaodong.

But Liaodong, which Sima Yi regarded as a burden, was a sweet potato 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 rebel against China.

In other words, Sima Yi also has some unshirkable responsibilities for the future Wuhu chaos.

 Gongsun Du is still the same Gongsun Du in this life, but his opponents are no longer the aliens in the original history, but the Manchus, who are hundreds of times stronger.

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 wide, and he finally had to lead the remaining troops to join 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 they did not have a deep friendship in private. Gongsun Du's previous status was not inferior to his, and 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 the death of Gongsun Zan, Gongsun Xuanyuan succeeded to the throne and continued to reuse Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du had no second thoughts.

 After Gongsun Shu rebelled, Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Yue did not want to join in the rebellion, and they were all killed by Gongsun Shu.

Poor Gongsun Du was in Liaodong and fought with foreign tribes for more than ten years. He was instrumental in fighting against the Manchus externally, and domestically he was one of the 36 princes who attacked Dong. However, he did not die at the hands of foreign tribes, but died at the hands of Gongsun's family. human hands.

As for Gongsun Shu, he was killed by Ran Min during the siege of 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 Du's sons Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Gong , Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Fan, and his son Gongsun Xu also joined the Qin Dynasty.

The surrendered ministers of Gongsun's line, as long as they were difficult people with outstanding abilities, all got Ying Hao. At present, Guoyuan has become the prefect of Daijun, and Bingyuan has also become the prefect of Shanggu County.

Among the young men of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Kang was undoubtedly the most outstanding in ability. He could both lead troops and govern a party. After surrendering to the Qin Dynasty, he made many military exploits, so he was promoted by Wei Yang to the rank of Captain 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 began to get 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 the passionate sons of our Qin Dynasty. I think they will definitely give them to me if they come." I will help you greatly."

After saying this, the Commander-in-Chief, Gongsun Kang, stood up, knelt down and saluted, clasped his fists, and shouted: "The 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, there were many more cavalry for a single army going deep into the grassland, so he accepted Gongsun Kang's 500 cavalry.

Shortly afterwards, 20,500 Youzhou cavalry, led by the Grand Governor Yue Fei, left the fortress from Daijun and entered the Guisui Grassland to break the siege of 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 of the fortress, 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 Bingzhou Qin Army was far less open-minded than Youhe and Youhe Prefectures 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 Yuanmeng, including Dadu. Governor Zhang Liao.

Although Zhang Liao hated Yuan Meng, he knew that the purpose of rescuing Maodun was to keep Yuan Meng 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 generally 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 prefect of Yanmen, to enlighten the generals and soldiers.

As the cousin of Concubine Xiao, Xiao He can 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 prefect 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 political achievements as well as military achievements.

Zhuge Liang couldn't block Xiao He's future, so he could only let him go reluctantly.

Not long after, Zhuge Jin, the prefect of Wei County, was also promoted to Bingzhou Biejia. All the first and second leaders of Wei County were transferred to Bingzhou.

 Those who are capable 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 enlighten middle and low-level generals and soldiers. Such a task will naturally not be difficult for him.

  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 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 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.

　　An error has been corrected. Hou Andu was killed by Ma Shanwei in the first Guanzhong War and was not included in the list for this expedition. This has been corrected.
