Chapter 2555: Bai Qi raised all three armies, Yue Fei and Zhang Liao went out of the frontier
As the governor of Youzhou, Wei Yang smiled and shook his head after hearing Yue Fei''s words, and retorted with confidence:
"Governor Yue''s words are wrong. If our army does not send troops to support us, Maodun will have to be eliminated, so Maodun dares not not cede the land."
Bai Qi would ask Maodun to cede the city, so naturally it was not his own attention, but Wei Yang''s idea.
Wei Yang calculated accurately and Mao Dun dared not refuse. Even if the lion asked him to ced Shenglecheng, he could only grit his teeth and agree in order to come and strengthen the reinforcements to protect himself.
After hearing this, Bai Qi also felt it made sense, so he stopped the three armies and told the Bank of China that it would be a condition to cedify the city. After all, the Qin Dynasty had great benefits from Shengle City.
Yue Fei and Gongsun Yang, one in charge of the army and the other in power.
The two cooperated with each other and had been in great harmony with Youzhou in the past two years.
Yue Fei also knew that Gongsun Yang had excellent strategy and perfect calculations, but he still stubbornly determined his opinion on this matter.
After all, Mao Dun''s stinginess is famous, 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 personal soldiers, and then handed it over to Bai Qi from the personal soldiers.
After Bai Qi took it apart, the corner of his mouth couldn''t help but curl up, and then he returned to his usual iceberg face, and said lightly: "Mao Dun has agreed to ceding Shenglecheng."
As soon as this statement was made, the generals present were in an instant and Yue Fei looked shocked, but he soon showed ecstasy.
Yuan Meng has been operating in Shengle City for many years, and this city has become a solid base.
If the Qin Dynasty could obtain Shengle City, it would not only completely incorporate the Guisui Grassland into its territory, but also have a solid fortress on the grassland.
In the future, if the grassland forces want to invade Youzhou, they must pull out the nail of Shenglecheng.
"Where is Yue Fei?"
Yue Fei was stunned when he heard this. After reacting, he immediately stood up, clasped his fists a little awkwardly, and shouted, "The last one is here."
Yue Fei is used to being the top leader in Jingzhou. Except for the lord, he has always been the only one who gave orders to others. It is the first time he was ordered by others. But who told Bai Qi to be his immediate boss?
Bai Qi did not notice Yue Fei''s like that, and ordered himself: "I will go to the Dai Army immediately and lead the 20,000 cavalry stationed in Dai County to enter the grassland from Dai County to rush to help Maodun, and there must be no mistakes."
"No." Yue Fei shouted.
"Immediately release the Feige to send a letter to Zhang Liao of Yanmen Pass and Huo Bing of Zhenbei Pass to let them march together."
"No."
With Bai Qi''s order, the three Qin cavalry stationed on the border began to act.
Dai County, the Great Wall, the Expeditionary Army camp, the county magistrates and many Qin generals were all waiting for Yue Fei''s arrival.
When he learned that the 20,000 cavalry in Youzhou were about to go out of Dai County, the prefect of Dai County, Guo Yuan, and the county minister Xun Yi, had prepared food and weapons for the army to go out to the expedition early.
After all, this was the second outing of the Qin Dynasty and the first outing of the country since its founding. No mistakes are allowed.
Even the Dai County Chief Gongsun Kang was preparing to go out with the army, but the Dai County cavalry was not within the range of the outbound.
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 outside Wei, Shu and Wu was the Yan State established by the Gongsun clan in Liaodong.
As for why no one mentioned it? This is because the Yan State''s strength is too weak and has existed for too short.
Everyone who knows the Three Kingdoms knows that Sima Yi''s "100-day conquest of Liao" destroyed Yan State in less than three months, creating a military miracle.
The Yan State, which was so weak that it could not help but fight, naturally did not have the qualifications to be on par with the Shu and Wu countries.
However, although Yan State was weak, it was compared with Wei, Shu and Wu. Compared with the Xianbei, Goguryeo, Fuyu and other countries in Northeast Asia at that time, Yan State was also a giant.
Among the four generations of kings, Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Gong, and Gongsun Yuan, except for Gongsun Yuan who had a brain and repeatedly jumped between the Wei and Wu countries, the other three were qualified princes.
But it is better than the top than the bottom.
Naturally, they did not have the ability to deal with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but they were all good at bullying all ethnic groups in the grassland.
Four generations of Gongsun family managed and developed Liaodong, beating all the foreign races around them, protecting the people of the country for decades. Historical books call it "Xiong Zhang Haidong".
After Sima Yi destroyed the Yan State, he did not occupy Liaodong, but moved the people of Liaodong to Youzhou. It directly ruined the achievements of the Gongsun family''s four generations of business.
Cao Wei has the beautiful mountains and rivers of the Central Plains and the fertile land, so he naturally does not look down on the bitter and cold land of Liaodong.
But Liaodong, which Sima Yi regards as a burden, is a hot commodity in the eyes of surrounding aliens.
Sima Yi moved away the people of Liaodong, and there was no Gongsun family''s command. Liaodong was soon occupied by the surrounding alien races, which also caused the strength of the alien race to soar, and finally had the strength to launch the Five Barbarians to invade China.
In other words, Sima Yi also has some unshirkable responsibilities in the future of the Five Barbarians'' Invasion of China.
Gongsun Du was still the same Gongsun Du in this life, but his opponent was not the alien race in the original history, but the Qing Dynasty, which was hundreds of times stronger.
But even so, Gongsun Du did not admit defeat. Even though he was defeated repeatedly, he still persisted in Liaodong. However, the gap between his strength and the Qing Dynasty was too huge. In the end, he had to lead the remaining troops to surrender to Gongsun Zan after the defeat.
Gongsun Zan was concerned about whether to appoint Gongsun Du. After all, he and Gongsun Du were only of the same surname and clan, and did not have much deep friendship in private. Gongsun Du''s previous status was not inferior to himself. Gongsun Zan was worried that he would not be willing to surrender to him. It was Gongsun Xuanyuan who advised him that Gongsun Zan completely dispelled his doubts and was valued by Gongsun Du.
After Gongsun Zan''s death, Gongsun Xuanyuan succeeded to the throne and continued to value Gongsun Du, and Gongsun Du had no different intentions.
Later, Gongsun Shu rebelled, and Gongsun Du and Gongsun Zan''s younger brother Gongsun Yue were unwilling to join in with him, but they were all killed by Gongsun Shu.
Poor Gongsun Du was in Liaodong and fought with foreign races for more than ten years. He was able to fight against the Qing Dynasty outside and was one of the thirty-six princes of Dong at home. As a result, he failed to die at the hands of the foreign race, but instead died at the hands of the people of the Gongsun family.
As for Gongsun Shu, he was killed by Ran Min before his death during the battle to siege Ran Min.
After Gongsun Xuanyuan brought the Gongsun family to surrender to Qin, in addition to generals such as Gongsun Yu and Liu Yi, as well as civil officials such as Guoyuan, Bing Yuan, Wang Lie, Wang Xiu, Xu Gan, 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 defected to the Qin Dynasty.
The surrendered ministers of Gongsun Yi''s group were all given Ying Hao as long as they were capable and difficult people. At present, Guoyuan has become the prefect of the county, and Bing Yuan has also become the prefect of Shanggu County.
As for the young children of the Gongsun family, Gongsun Kang was the most outstanding in his ability. He was able to lead troops and govern one side. After surrendering to Qin, he made many military achievements, so he was promoted to the commander of the Dai County by Wei Yang.
"Sir, the governor of Yue Fei is here." County minister Xun Yi reported with a smile.
Under Guoyuan''s gaze, Yue Fei, with Gao Chong, Xiong Kuohai and other generals, walked into the Dazhai step by step, and issued a clean and neat order. Then the entire army began to become busy and began to prepare for the camp to pull out of the frontier.
After all the generals left, Guoyuan walked towards him and said seriously: "The Grand Commander will take the 500 Iron Cavalry of my Dai County when he goes out of the frontier. They are all passionate men of my Great Qin. I believe that they will definitely help you."
After saying that, the commander Gongsun Kang stood up, half-kneeled and bowed and clasped his fists, shouting, "The commander Gongsun Kang of Dai County, I am willing to follow the commander-in-chief out of the frontier."
Yue Fei thought about it and felt that it was nothing to bring these 500 cavalry. After all, he had many cavalrymen in his own army and went deep into the grassland, so he accepted Gongsun Kang''s 500 cavalry.
Shortly afterwards, 20,500 Youzhou Iron Cavalry, led by the Grand Governor Yue Fei, went out of the frontier from Dai County and entered the Guisui Grassland to break the siege of Shengle City.
Bingzhou, Yanmen County, Yanmen Pass.
As a major county in Bingzhou and one of the gateways to the northern border of the Qin Dynasty, Yanmen County hoarded a large amount of food, grass and military supplies. Not to mention providing 20,000 cavalry out of the frontier, even 60,000 was enough.
After receiving Bai Qi''s order, Zhang Liao, the governor of Bingzhou, had already prepared to go out of the frontier, but was delayed by some things.
The Qin army in Bingzhou''s fundamental purpose of this outbound trip was to rescue Maodun, but it was far less open-minded than Youhe and the other two states.
Since the Qin and Wen era, a large number of Bingzhou soldiers died in battle with the Huns and Yuanmeng. Therefore, Bingzhou, from generals to ordinary soldiers, had a widespread hatred towards Yuanmeng, including the Grand Governor Zhang Liao.
Although Zhang Liao hated Yuan Meng, he knew that this rescue was to allow Yuan Meng to continue to split and fight in the internal struggle, so naturally he would not cause bad things because of hatred, but the middle and lower-level generals and soldiers at the bottom didn''t care about these.
They only knew that Maodun, whom they were going to rescue, had led his army to attack Bingzhou many times, killed their father and brother, and slaughtered their fellow villagers, but now they were going to save this big enemy, so naturally they were reluctant from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhang Liao learned that among the 20,000 troops he had gathered, he was generally in a state of resistance to this outbound trip, and he suddenly became a problem.
Zhang Liao also tried to enlighten these people, but his eloquence was average. It was okay to enlighten middle and lower-level generals, but he had no choice but to face ordinary soldiers because they could not understand the great truth at all.
Zhang Liao had a way, so he could only let the Yanmen Prefect Xiao He guide the generals and soldiers.
As Xiao Concubine Xiao''s cousin, she was also a royal relative. She had been a county minister in the Wei army before. Whether it was Zhuge Jin, the prefect of Wei County, or Zhuge Liang, the governor, they all praised Xiao He''s ability to work.
Later, when Xiao He was transferred to Bingzhou to serve as the prefect of Yanmen due to his political achievements, Zhuge Liang, the governor of Jizhou, was still a little reluctant.
Zhuge Liang originally wanted to promote Xiao He as the prefect of Wei County after Zhuge Jin was promoted, and then take the role of his own right and left hand. However, he did not expect that Xiao He had already fallen into the eyes of His Majesty and was directly parachuted by the court to Yanmen to serve as the prefect.
Although Wei County is the largest county in Jizhou, Yanmen County is not bad either. It is the front line of the frontier and is close to Yuan and Mongolia. It can not only accumulate political achievements but also make military achievements.
Zhuge Liang was not able to stop Xiao He''s future, so he could only let him go reluctantly.
Not long after, Zhuge Jin, the prefect of Wei County, was promoted to Bingzhou, and the first and second leaders of Wei County were transferred to Bingzhou.
A capable person can stand out anywhere.
The same is true for Xiao He. Since he became the governor of Yanmen County, Yanmen County, which was in a bottleneck period, has once again rejuvenated in new vitality, both population and economy have developed rapidly.
Xiao He has 94 intelligence, 103 political attributes, and 97 charm. He has enlightened middle and lower-level generals and soldiers. Such a task will naturally not defeat him.
Xiao He''s teaching method is also very simple. He chose to use a speech method and gather the soldiers together, with 4,000 people giving speeches for two hours and asking questions for two hours.
"Soldiers...Balabala...Do you all understand now?"
"Understood…"
Xiao He gave speeches for three consecutive days, held five speech conferences, and 20,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry listened to his speech.
After Xiao He''s speech-style guidance for half a day, basically the soldiers on the Nine-Story Nine would understand that their outbound trip was not to save their enemies, but to kill them. Not only did they not resist going out of the outbound trip, but they were all ready to make achievements and take revenge after they entered the grassland.
Seeing that Xiao He had completed the task, Zhang Liao breathed a sigh of relief and said to the generals with a smile: "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 fought with the Huns for more than ten years and even joined forces with Maodun to fight Kublai Khan for one day." Xu Huang said with a wry smile.
"This is really a blessing." Lu Bu sighed softly.
?A correction is that Hou Andu was killed by Ma Shanwei in the first Guanzhong War. He is not on the list of this expedition. It has been changed now
