In a sense, the area of Wu, located about two hundred miles west of Chang'an, is constantly changing. Novel .
Based on the circumference of four to five miles, which is about 0.25 square kilometers in later generations, this is undoubtedly an area with a huge construction area. It can even be called a small city, because 0.25 square kilometers is equal to 250,000 square meters.
It is equal to three hundred and seventy-five acres, and this means that there are four to five thousand people in the dock. On average, only a dozen people occupy one acre of land, which seems a bit too spacious.
But this is not the case.
First of all, there is an independent core building area in Wubao, with independent interior walls, pavilions, and gardens. Dong Zhuo himself, as well as his family members, staff, concubines, and only Dong Zhuo's most trusted bodyguards, subordinate officials, lived inside.
You can come and go freely, but ordinary soldiers cannot enter.
Secondly, the rammed earth wall outside the Wubao is too thick, and coupled with supporting defensive measures such as trenches and passages behind the inner wall, it undoubtedly occupies a large amount of building area.
Similarly, there are storage areas... Don't forget that Dong Zhuo accumulated a large amount of gold and silver wealth, grain, cloth and other materials here. In order to search for wealth, he not only used the capital to move the capital to a large area to openly plunder public and private property in Henan, but even went to Guanzhong
Later, he also ordered the commander-in-chief of Sili to impose severe punishments and force the wealthy households in Guanzhong to donate their property. What a huge amount of wealth and materials this was?
All in all, although the dock is large, it seems extremely crowded with three thousand soldiers stationed inside.
In fact, these three thousand armored sergeants are basically active outside Wubao on weekdays. There is even a small military camp outside Long live Wubao. Moreover, this place can be connected to the county seat through Chidao, making it easy to communicate with the county.
...That is to say, Gongsun's army suddenly pressed into the area, forcing them to hurriedly move into the dock to defend.
And considering that the dock was established not long ago and many living facilities are not perfect, the problem may be even more serious!
Of course, the three thousand soldiers inside Wubao who were heavily surrounded were a little uncomfortable, and the "Youzhou Army" outside Wubao was also a little uneasy, because after all, the latter spent four and a half days riding light horses to attack 500 miles, and they were alone.
Going deeper into these four words, I didn’t have time to think too much when I was marching on horseback. I was still very nervous when I stopped...not to mention, these soldiers and horses were all surrendered troops.
Therefore, if Wang Fang, the general of Dong Zhuo's troops who had dispersed from the pass, arrived first with a large army and broke through to join Dong Zhuo in front of Wansuiwu, the outcome would be unknown. Even if he could not break through Gongsun's siege and could only gain a foothold nearby, it would still be enough to defeat him.
The situation changed from General Wei's encirclement posture towards Grand Master Dong to a confrontation situation.
And that was also not what Gongsun was willing to accept.
However, despite Dong Zhuo's eager anticipation, the suffering of the soldiers of both armies, and Gongsun's cold eyes, the first one to arrive was not Wang Fang's troops, but a civilian army from the neighboring county Zuo Fengyi.
, the latter, under the leadership of a well-known county official in Zuo Fengyi County, rushed to Wuxia on the first day of June after a long journey, and went directly to Gongsun Camp to play the role of wartime auxiliary soldiers.
To be fair, even Gongsun had not expected the arrival of this team. It can only be said that the young county official named Zhang Ji was too bold. Only after meeting him did he realize that this team of seven or eight hundred people was not at all.
The one sent by the county was actually Zhang Derong's disciple, pretending to be a guest.
But I have to say, the effect is excellent.
Zhang Ji, under the banner of Zuo Fengyi Commandery, first expressed his position, which can be imagined as a shock to the surrounding officials. His arrival also greatly stabilized the morale of many surrendered soldiers who were born in Guanzhong, and even made Dong Zhuo in Wubao
The army fell into further panic.
Of course, this adventure also made Gongsun firmly remember the name of Zhang Derong. Although this boy had a very rich family, he was from a typical poor family. None of his ancestors had achieved 600 shi, which was completely opposite to Jia Kui. However, only
From this fact, we can know that his level is no less than that of Jia Kui, and he is even more courageous!
Therefore, regardless of whether he bought a horse bone for a thousand gold or rewarded him based on his merits, Gongsun immediately appointed this newly crowned minor official of Zuofengyi County as the magistrate of Youfufeng County, with a rank of six hundred stones.
As for Zhang Derong, after he leaned over to express his thanks, he directly stated that he was willing to temporarily act as the county magistrate. However, after this matter, he still wanted to join the guard general Baima Yicong for training... That would satisfy Gongsun even more.
However, what was supposed to come came sooner or later. On the morning of the seventh day of June, the expected seven or eight thousand people from Wang Fang's tribe still appeared on the south bank of the Wei River. However, to Dong Zhuo's great disappointment, Wang Fang came to Wuzhangyuan and looked at
The fortress on the mountain actually chose to retreat several miles to establish a stronghold.
Gongsun also felt very disappointed about this, so at night, he climbed onto the broad camp Lieutenant General's Platform that had been compacted to a height of seven feet under the Milky Way. He put his hands behind his hands to face the wind and looked at the Five Zhang Plains of Weinan.
The direction is fascinating.
In other words, at this moment, none of Gongsun's former confidants were with him. Not to mention Lou Zibo and Han Yigong, even Xi Zhicai and Baima Yicong were all driven to Pujin or Hedong by him that day, and even
Including Zhang Liao's brother and Xu Rong's clan brother, Sima Lang, the only old man who stayed with him, was also asked by Jia Xu to stay and led his people to block Wuguan.
As for Jia Kui, who had not yet been crowned, although he was well-rounded and had useful talents, he could not be considered a confidant.
Of course, Jia Kui himself did not have this awareness as always. He was waiting behind Gongsun and finally couldn't hold back and spoke:
"What are you looking at?"
"Rather than looking at something, it's better to say that I'm waiting for something." Gongsun felt a little bored, so he turned around and sat on the maza that had been prepared on the high platform, and then continued to look at the Wuzhangyuan and sighed.
"Then what are you waiting for?" Jia Kui became more and more curious. "But what did Zhang Sima say or report before?"
"Not really." Gongsun said indifferently. "But I think he might do something tonight, so I wanted to come and have a look."
Jia Kui was confused and confused.
"If you have any doubts, feel free to speak up." Gongsun sighed quietly. "I keep you by my side because you want to be trained."
"Yes," Jia Kui said sincerely. "I'm just curious. Although Junhou and Zhang Sima have some connections, but they can't be called familiar, right? It's only been a month since he defected to Junhou, and he hasn't been seen for more than a month.
How much communication did the monarch have with Zhang Sima? If so, why could the monarch trust Zhang Sima so much, and use it without any doubt, and even expect it?"
"That's a good question." Gongsun was finally moved, and then asked with a chuckle. "But do you think I, a white horse general, can't even figure out the temperament of a horse? It will take several years to train him?"
Jia Kui immediately stopped laughing: "Do you regard people as horses?"
"I still regard some people as dolphins and dogs!" Gongsun replied frankly. "It's just that I have seen many people and divided them into categories. I can tell them at a glance."
Jia Kuiruo had some realization.
"In fact, not only Zhang Wenyuan is a horse, but Xu Bojin is also a horse. Even Lord Yi was also a horse." Gongsun sighed slightly. "These people were born in the border areas, relying on their bravery and general talents. They were born as thousand-mile horses raised by heaven and earth.
A thousand-mile horse is useless without a rider, so it has to find a good owner before it can really ride a thousand miles... But then again, unlike the horse-drawn oxen in the mainland, these border horses may be reckless and illiterate, and may cause disaster.
or they are wild and uncontrollable, and they will kick off when they encounter someone who cannot control them... This kind of thing is just like that in ordinary times, but in troubled times, it will cause trouble, and even cause trouble for one party.
of."
Jia Kui finally understood: "If this is said, these thousand-mile horses will be loyal and gallop with all their strength when they meet someone who can subdue them? Only when they meet someone who can subdue themselves can they avoid disaster.
?”
"So." Gongsun said with a smile. "I just came to see if this Bingzhou fierce horse can obey me?!"
Jia Kui also laughed: "In that case, I will just wait with you. But you..."
"What?"
"Isn't Dong Zhongying also good at training horses?" Jia Kui suddenly asked seriously.
"Yes." Gongsun glanced at the other party, but did not deny it. "Dong Zhuo himself was born as a wild horse. How come he doesn't know how to tame horses? But there are not only wild horses in this world. Our Master Dong is used to taming horses.
, in the end, all the dolphins, dogs, cows, deer, and chickens were tamed as horses. As a result, not only were they not tamed, but they were left vacant everywhere in the world, but only the wild horses in the house could do what the cows and chickens had to do, and finally caused trouble.
It’s a big mess.”
Jia Kui's heart moved, but he stopped talking.
"You want to ask, what is a chicken, what is a dog, what is a cow, and who is you, Jia Kui?" Gongsun knew what the other person wanted to say without even looking at him.
"My subordinate Meng Lang, indeed Meng Lang." Jia Kui said awkwardly.
"You haven't been crowned yet, but you are just a young man. You can only write words or mention Maza by my side. Even Meng Lang can accommodate you." Gongsun slowly said. "Unlike some people, now that they are adults,
If you take important responsibilities and even think that you can do something good for the world, then you have to take responsibility for your own actions..."
Jia Kui didn't dare to say anything.
"Actually, when you ask about the differences between people in the world, I am just making an analogy. If we really make a serious distinction, how can people be as clearly classified as cattle and horses?" Gongsun continued to speak seriously. "There are people from border counties who are different from people in border counties."
The disadvantage is that they are barbaric and vulgar, do not know etiquette, and more importantly, do not take human life seriously; and the people of Wanluo also have the bad intentions of the people of Wanluo. Their disciples and old officials are colluding with each other, and they are both prosperous and disadvantaged, so that they cover each other.
, exaggerate each other's status; it is the turn of the Qingxu area, but they are bright and poor, useless, sour and ridiculous; and your special counties of Hedong, Taiyuan, and Guanzhong have several problems, but they all exist.
The advantages of several places... Just like you and Zhang Ji, one is from a humble family but is rich, and the other is from an aristocratic family but is poor, but in some places they are exactly the same. They both know what righteousness is better than the people in the border counties, and they both know how to be pragmatic than the people in the inner counties...
...So when it comes to the affairs of the world, how can it be so easy to do? And how can people in the world make such a clear distinction? Not to mention, there are some people who are really talented as Wang Zuo, good at planning, and capable as Wei and Huo.
Overlord's courage, can these people use those things to profile them at will?"
Jia Kui no longer dared to say anything.
Just like that, under the Milky Way and on the general platform, the two of them stood in silence for a long time.
However, this silence was soon broken. As the time came to midnight, a fire suddenly broke out behind Wuzhang Yuan. The shouts of killing could be heard for miles across the river. The people in the camp were immediately awakened and shocked.
There was chaos in the dock for a while.
After all, Gongsun did not wait in vain.
At dawn the next day, the battle report came. Zhang Wenyuan went out to rob the camp at night and defeated eight thousand enemies with two thousand men. The enemy general Wang Fang died in the chaos. After searching for it for half a day, he found it in a soldier's leather bag.
He found his cell phone and quickly sent it across the river... Of course, Gongsun didn't even look at it, so he sent it to Wubao.
On June 10, another army arrived, but it was Yuwen Black Otter and his Qingqi who came galloping on orders. The latter brought Dong Quan's army to retreat, but it turned into a complete army rout when the Youzhou Army pursued and forced them across the board.
information.
Although this news had been expected, it was still extremely important, so Gongsun still did not forget to convey it to his old friend who stayed in Wubao.
On June 13, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue brought 3,000 cavalry to the rescue, and brought with them the head of Dong Zhuo's brother Dong... Of course, he was also sent to Wansuiwu by Gongsun.
On June 15, Ma Tenghan led 20,000 people from Liangzhou to the north of Meiyang City, which was dozens of miles away from the county. However, after hearing the news of Dong Shen's death, he chose not to move forward.
On June 18, Guo Si was captured by a local pavilion chief in Zuofengyi Huangbaicheng and was transferred to the pursuer Taishi Ci. Hearing that he was going to be sent to Wansuiwu, he faced Dong Zhuo without a face and asked himself to be imprisoned.
He was executed, but Taishi Ziyi felt pity for him because he still had some loyalty, so he preserved his body and buried it locally.
The next day, Han Dang, Gao Shun, and Xi Zhicai led the main force of the army and the white horse followers to the front of Wansuiwu and continued to encircle Dong Zhuo. Gongsun finally learned that Lu Bu fled back to Chang'an City in panic and was now captured by the ruler of the city, Wang
Acceptable news.
In late June, Wang Xiu, Lou Gui, and Tian Feng all set out to the east of the river. Taiyuan Liangjiazi's 50,000 to 60,000 men crossed Pujin, raiding places along the way, collecting government officials, and stationing 20,000 troops at the foot of Chang'an City.
When the news came, Ma Tenghan submitted a surrender form, willing to hand over a hostage and please serve as General Wei's attendant.
On the first day of July, the first night of autumn, Pegasus was flying in the sky, the Milky Way was hanging diagonally, and countless meteors pierced the night sky... And the next day, Gongsun Xiang, who had lost his patience after watching the meteor shower all night, had already appeared as a deserter on a rope.
A letter and an old thing were sent to the Long Live dock.
The old thing is naturally the evidence of the two people's first acquaintance, that is, the 'Xiang Yu's Broken Blade'. Dong Zhuo, who was already so fat that he was unwilling to even go downstairs, had already expected this.
As for the letter, when I opened it, it only amounted to twenty words.
As the saying goes:
Sixty years of life,
Like a dream or an illusion.
There is life and death,
What did Mr. Dong regret?
"Does Gongsun Wenqi think that a letter can force me to die?" Dong Zhuo, who was full of alcohol, slapped the table and laughed, then looked around. "We are defeated today, but it would be unavoidable for me to give up my head.
Are you underestimating me? Everyone, is there anyone who is willing to follow me to fight out, even if he dies on the way, but as long as he can shock Gongsun Xiaoer, his journey in this world is not in vain?"
There was silence all around, but Dong Zhuo looked carefully and suddenly woke up.
It turns out that at this moment, there is only one man in the hall. He is the military think tank who has been with him for many years, Chief Shi Liu Ai. He was the one who received the letter from the city wall and delivered it. At this time, he smelled his lord's wine.
Afterwards, all he could do was stand in the hall and close his eyes.
As for the rest of the people waiting in the hall, they were all his concubines and beauties, and there were no soldiers at all.
"How did I, Dong Zhongying, end up in this situation today?" Dong Zhuo sighed while stroking his knife, as if he was lost.
I am the dividing line that sighs while holding the knife
"Zhang Ji's courtesy name is Derong, and Feng Yi is from Gaoling. His family is rich but his family is poor. He is sixteen years old and is a county official. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was in chaos. Taizu used Jia Xu's plan to enter Tongguan and travel five hundred miles to Wu.
, trapped Dong Zhuo. At that time, people's hearts were undecided, and the war in Pujin was not over yet. People in Guanzhong had their own objections, and they dared not do it openly. After urging the county governor to send all the county soldiers to help Taizu in order to complete the great plan, the county governor was hesitant.
