Chapter 331
"I am Zheng Gong!" Zheng Gong saw that Zhang Gu and Kong Wu were powerful and talented, and he was a little caring, so he walked up to him in person.
"So you are Zheng Gong! I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect it to be so unbearable!" Zhang Gu looked at the rebel leader carefully.
"Haha! I can't bear it! No matter how unbearable I can, you are also my defeated general and a prisoner under the rank!" Zheng Gong did not have the same knowledge as Zhang Gu, and laughed.
"You are just relying on the number of people! I have experienced many battles, and it is no problem to fight ten! I have the will to let go and come and fight one by one!"
"I believe that you can fight ten with one. But why are your Han army three times more powerful than me?"
"That was General Zhao Hu's carelessness for a moment! When he reorganized his team, he would be able to break through Zitong soon!" Zhang Gu was not willing to be outdone.
"It's a big tone! Unfortunately, the day he stepped on Zitong is the time for you to turn around! Tell me, why come to Zitong?"
"Just run away!"
"I heard that you have a northerner accent, why did you go south?"
"If I don't go south, can I still go north and fall into the trap? It's a pity that Geng Fan meddled with other people's business!" Zhang Gu cursed with hatred.
"Geng Fan? Is he a reinforcement from the new imperial court?"
"Who knows? I brought more than a dozen people. I really don't know what he has!"
Zheng Gong thought about it and found that although Zhang Gu's origin was a bit suspicious, he must have known many "secrets" of the Han army. Killing him would be of no benefit to him.
"It seems that you are desperate, I cherish talents, are you willing to follow me?" Zheng Gong was about to keep Zhang Gu.
Zhang Gu was happy, but his tone was still tough, "You are just a group of bandits. What future does it have to follow you? Sooner or later, I will die. Come and give me a happy time! Otherwise, let me go south quickly."
"Haha! The more you do this, the more I am reluctant to let you go! Let's go back home with me. As long as you assist me with everything, wealth and prosperity are just around the corner!" Zheng Gong continued to persuade.
Zhang Gu's expression hesitated, and just as he was thinking about how to answer, the little monkey rushed out.
"Sir! He robbed and killed people, you can't ignore it! Please make the decision for the common people!"
"Oh! What property did he stole you?" Zheng Gong looked at the trucks parked not far away, and his eyes turned over. He looked at the novel Western Regions goods and was moved.
"The court is unruly, and officials force the people to rebel. I am just practicing the law for heaven, and your property is just for military purposes!" Zheng bowed his hand and surrounded the truck.
"Sir, you can't do this. This is all the money for the young people to live!" The little monkey ran up and grabbed Zheng bow's arm.
"Save it off! Shanjun accepts your goods and respects you. If you don't know what you are, you will be the army together!"
Zheng Gong's guard rushed forward, pulled the little monkey away, and pushed him into his butt.
"Sir, sir! You can respect you. Please give this person to the villain, otherwise, the villain will not be able to submit the job when he returns! I hope you understand!"
The little monkey got up and stepped forward again desperately, but was stopped by the guards.
"Zhang Gu, you still don't want to follow me?" Zheng Gong smiled.
"If you can protect me, I will follow you for the time being!" Zhang Gu seemed eager to "get out of trouble" and had to compromise.
"Hahaha!" Zheng Gong didn't care, turned his head and yelled at the little monkey, "Zhang Gu is now the general under my command! What else do you want!"
"Sir, you have to be reasonable... You must force the villain to death like this!" The little monkey scratched his ears and heads, and was almost crying anxiously.
"I have the virtue of being alive! If you really can't go back to work, please stay and follow me! There are quite a few people who follow me in this past caravan!"
Zheng Gong turned around and looked at the little monkey, "I think you are also a loyal and righteous man. I will give you an official position as appropriate. There is only one, so don't bother him anymore!"
"This, this..." The little monkey hesitated a little, really hesitated this time. It should be a good thing to be able to get into Zheng Gong's team, but he was not ready yet.
Zheng Gong no longer paid attention to him and pulled Zhang Gu back to his "stadium".
He is missing a "general" who will help him lead the team, and he wants to find out the situation of the government army.
After preparing the banquet, Zheng Gong took a seat with Zhang Gu himself.
"If you want me, Shanjun doesn't have to worry at all. Although General Zhao Hu was brave, he brought not much military ration this time. He wanted to fight, but he didn't expect that he would be easily defeated by you. Now he could only stand by waiting for reinforcements. However, the court has no soldiers to send, so he sent General Geng Fan, who was slanderless, and only brought more than a dozen reinforcements. What big things do you think he can accomplish?" Zhang Gu accompanied Zheng Gong to eat and chat.
"Who is this Geng Fan?"
"I've never heard of it."
"Then what do you think of him? Are you awesome?"
"Bad! I guess I want to take advantage of loopholes. Shan Jun, to be honest, the imperial court has a big tree and deep roots. You are just a temporary victory. When they recover, it is hard to say. Geng Fan should have seen this clearly and took advantage of General Zhao Hu's frustration to grab the credit..." Zhang Gu wanted to put some pressure on Zheng Gong.
"What are the strategies for the general?"
"Either take the initiative to attack while they are short of food, completely defeat them, and wait for the court to come to recruit peace. Or make plans early and find a place far away from the emperor, and make plans for the long term."
Zheng Gong listened to Zhang Gu's suggestion and began to ponder. He was a little moved when he had received Geng Fan's "rejection" a few days ago. However, Geng Fan did not give him any conditions, so he was a little hesitant.
"You said that the Han army was short of food at this time? Then Geng Fan had no food and supplies to send it?" Zheng Gong began to consider fighting another battle.
"Food and grass? I've said it! There are 100,000 yuan in grain, but who knows when it will arrive? When the food and grass arrive, I don't know how many people will starve to death! Now the Han army can only eat porridge and meal every day. Each battalion is trying to raise food by itself. Geng Fan still doesn't allow it! Isn't this going to starve people to death? Now the army has complained, and Geng Fan just wants to establish his authority with me."
"There is no food in the army, and the morale of the army will be in chaos! General Zhang, do you know how many days will the Han army have to store grain?" Zheng Gong began to think about it.
"The military rules are that if you store food for less than ten days, you can eat and eat every porridge!"
"Ten days! God really helps me!" Zheng Gong was happy, got up and paced around the house.
"Mr. Shan, you can't underestimate the Han army. Especially General Zhao Hu, who won every battle and almost never lost a battle." Zhang Gu wiped his mouth and had enough wine and meals.
"He has been defeated by me for a while, and now he has no morale. In addition, there is no food in the army. How long do you think he can last? Haha!" Zheng Gong was a little excited.
After looking at Zhang Gu, "I appoint you as General of the East to train troops. We will attack him again. The siege of Zitong will be resolved soon!"
"No problem! As long as there is wine and meat, I am willing to serve Shanjun!" Zhang Gu smiled. He really didn't expect that he would gain trust so smoothly.
The next day, Zhang Gu took office and began to train the rebels in a good manner.
Not long after, the little monkey brought him a surprising news.
