"I am Zhang Yide, who are you?" Zhang Fei roared, reining in his horse and moving forward. At this time, Zhang Fei's soldiers also circled back.
"We are the border guards of General Tian under the command of the former Marquis of Yi. We learned that Duke Xuande returned to Youzhou and came to greet him." A cavalryman shouted from a distance.
"Whose subordinates did you say you are?" Zhang Fei was shocked. He seemed to have heard the other party say that they were Gongsun Zan's subordinates. How could this be possible? Then he suddenly remembered that Chen Xi said that there would be another reinforcement from Youzhou.
.
"We are under the command of the former Marquis of Yi!" Tian Yu's soldiers shouted, and then ordered people to submit things that could prove their identity. When Gongsun Zan knew that he was defeated, he handed over the border guards to Tian Yu.
, leaving something to prove his identity.
Zhang Fei opened the silk book presented by the other party. He knew Gongsun Zan's handwriting, but there were many people in the world who could imitate the handwriting so vividly. But after adding the seal and the content, Zhang Fei instantly believed that it was true.
.
"Line up to greet them!" Zhang Fei immediately ordered his personal guards to line up and prepare to welcome these soldiers.
Zhuge Liang also took the silk book handed to him by Zhang Fei at this time. There was not much content in it.
"Brother Xuande, I'm probably dead when I read this letter, but brother Liu, you don't have to be sad for me. I know that if I die, I will definitely ask for it. However, even though my Gongsun Bogui dies,
But there is an unfinished matter on my mind, and Xuande probably doesn’t want me to die in peace.”
Zhuge Liang looked at the contents of the silk book in silence. The writing style of Gongsun Zan's letter was very poor, but it showed a kind of freedom and naturalness, as if the other party didn't mind death.
"As for Liu Bo'an, now that I think about it, it was just a personal feud. The two of us had different political opinions. If I die and the other retreats, I can't say who will lose or win. But the Hu people in Saibei are a serious problem for our Han Dynasty. Back then, Baima Yi followed his direction, and the other Hus retreated. Now,
Now the white horse is in mourning, and if Gongsun dies, the barbarians from the north will take advantage of the chaos and rise up!"
Zhuge Liang's expression was slightly stagnant. He didn't know whether he should say that Gongsun Zan had good vision or that he had unimaginable confidence in himself. But in fact, it was true that just after Gongsun Bogui fell, the Saibei Hu people began to invade on a large scale.
"The 30,000 Youzhou garrison soldiers and 13,000 Youzhou cavalry I left to the country are more than enough to defend against ordinary barbarian invasions. However, for the barbarians, only defending without attacking will only increase their arrogance."
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but feel a little touched when he saw this sentence. Gongsun Zan did have many problems, but he was recognized by most people in the North, and he did have his own charm. At least the soldiers who died and retained the territory were indeed beyond the limit.
Zhuge Liang's consistent understanding.
"In my humble opinion, if the barbarians kill one of me, I will kill a hundred barbarians, the barbarians will massacre my village, I will destroy one of the barbarians, and if the barbarians go south to herd horses, then I will go north to hunt the barbarians!"
Seeing this sentence, Zhuge Liang could feel Gongsun Zan's undisguised murderous intention towards the barbarians even through a piece of silk.
"Liu Bo'an once talked to me, saying that killing can only make the hatred between the two parties worse. I sneered at the time. Now that I am dead, I sneer at the same time. Killing cannot solve the problem, but killing can solve the problem. Kill him.
The sky is dark and the earth is dark, rivers of blood flow, the black pills move westward because of me, and Xianbei in the east dare not herd horses in Youzhou also because I am alive!"
I don’t know why Zhuge Liang actually felt a stirring passion for this. Gongsun Bogui was indeed headstrong and ignorant of the sky, but it is undeniable that for the Han people in the north, what he had done before was worthy of being a hero.
"Kill ten thousand and they will come. Then kill one hundred thousand. Kill one hundred thousand and they will come. Then kill one million. Kill until the grassland is stained with blood and the North Sea is bright red. When the Huns went south, the sweet springs were burned.
, where are they now? No matter how great the hatred is, what will happen? Death will eventually be the destination of the enemy!"
"What fear do we have? If we are willing to sacrifice our lives for ourselves, why should we fear death for the country and the people? How can we, the vast country of China, be humiliated by the barbarians? My brother Xuande, I beg you to protect the north for me under the Nine Springs.
The common people of the land, please do not let the barbarians humiliate the power of China, thank you, brother."
Zhuge Liang felt a little out of sorts after reading the entire letter. When he was in the Central Plains, he felt that Gongsun Zan's actions were harmful to Tianhe. Later, when he came to Liu Bei and came into contact with the real situation in the north, he had some understanding of Gongsun Zan.
But all understandings are not as shocked as Zhuge Liang's letter from Gongsun Zan. This is almost regarded as Gongsun Zan's final work. When a person dies, he can say that he is willful and at the same time maintain his absolute belief. He is probably considered a hero.
Bar.
The generals who can let their men follow them to death, not to mention other things, at least they do have a heroic side. Although Gongsun Zan was indeed a bit embarrassed during the civil war, he has never been timid externally, even after he died.
I still remember to wipe out the Hulu.
After putting the silk book away, Zhuge Liang was slightly silent. Gongsun Zan's murderous intention towards the Hu people could be clearly felt through the letters. If this era was a time of governance, he might really become a frontier hero.
Although Zhang Fei was sure that the letter was authentic, he carefully tested it several times. After finally confirming that it was correct, he immediately ordered the soldiers sent by Tian Yu to lead them to the place where Tian Yu was stationed.
Zhang Fei believed what Gongsun Zan wrote in his letter. Although Gongsun Zan had many faults, there was one thing that Zhang Fei absolutely recognized. Gongsun Zan believed in the incompatibility between Han and Hu, and Gongsun Zan could indeed do it.
Slaughter my whole village, and I will exterminate an entire Hu.
This is also the reason why the Hu people later avoided the white horse when they saw it from a distance. Gongsun Zan never accepted the threats from the Hu people. Don't say that you captured Gongsun Zan's tribesmen and Gongsun Zan's men. With Gongsun Zan's character, you would have captured Gongsun Zan's brothers.
, Gongsun Zan will not compromise with the barbarians.
So in the end, the Hu people were determined not to arrest anyone from Gongsun Zan's group. Gongsun Zan's revenge was more severe than that of the Hu people, and Gongsun Zan was also stronger than the Hu people. He was so strong that the Hu people would avoid him when they saw the white horse. This was not because of any kindness.
Virtue, either for appeasement or for killing.
Gongsun Zan had only one way to manage the barbarians - kill, kill them all like a map, kill all their enemies until there are no more enemies, don't worry about killing the small ones, and kill the big ones when they come.
The older ones came and the older ones came.
Zhang Fei also strongly agrees with this approach, because he is from Zhuojun. When he was a child, he had truly witnessed the brutal invasion of the Hu people, so he had resentment towards the Hu people. He used to be just a horse archer, but now he is
He is already a commander with tens of thousands of troops.
[General Gongsun, I, Zhang Yide, have shouldered the tasks you once shouldered. As long as I, Zhang Yide, live, your Youzhou will no longer have to worry about the Hu people going south!] Zhang Fei silently made up his mind, and Gongsun Zan's letter also stirred up his memory.
