Before the Goguryeo soldiers could react, soldiers rushed in like tigers and wolves, knocked them down one by one, and held them on the ground. They were all stunned and had no idea what they had done wrong. They shouted at the Han army.
, some even incited the Dongyi people around them, saying that the Han army wanted to execute them all and wanted their help.
It's a pity that they were surrounded by Donghao people. Even though these Donghao people were scared to death, they still didn't have any thoughts of resisting or joining forces to cause trouble. They all squatted on the ground, their eyes full of fear and despair.
The Goguryeo people cursed in their hearts, there are tens of thousands of you, why are you so cowardly? After Lu Bu captured them one by one, he smiled coldly.
"You don't have to defend yourself. The envoy just now has secretly surrendered to my big man. I already know your true identity!"
Hearing what he said, these Goguryeo people fell silent and began to curse again. They only wanted to die and were unwilling to endure humiliation and live in vain. Hearing their appearance, Lu Bu knew that he had not arrested the wrong person, so he ordered them to be quickly examined and questioned.
As for the goals and tasks of the other Donghao people, they could not relax their supervision, and gave them food and let them rest in the camp.
There are probably hundreds of these Goguryeo people, which is indeed a lot. However, the fact that they can be reused by the King of Goguryeo means that they are not just idlers. Most of them are soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles. No matter how you press them, they are all
If they keep silent, even if they are executed, they will not be able to get words out of their mouths.
No matter what the situation, no one among the hundreds of people spoke. Instead, they all cursed and cursed until death.
Even though they were enemies, Huangfu Song and others were in awe of them. If Goguryeo had all soldiers like this, the war would be in trouble. However, Lu Bu had experience fighting with them, and he knew that these soldiers were all
Goguryeo's elite and ordinary soldiers would never have such courage. In the end, Zhang Wen ordered them to be buried.
Their perseverance was praised by Zhang Wen and others, even though they were their enemies.
In order to prevent accidents, Zhang Wen ordered the Han soldiers everywhere to prepare to avoid sudden attacks. Under his order, the Han soldiers everywhere immediately made preparations, and Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song also returned to their respective places first.
The main point is that only Lu Bu was left behind and did not return. This was because in the cold winter, the road from Goguryeo to Dongli was covered with heavy snow.
If the Goguryeo people launched an attack from here, it would be suicide.
Therefore, Lu Bu stayed with Zhang Wen, waiting for his orders. Sure enough, just as Zhang Wen thought, at night, Han army scouts found a large number of cavalry gathering outside Daifang. Zhang Wen did not want to introduce the war to Youzhou.
Within the territory, the soldiers were directly ordered to launch an offensive. The King of Goguryeo went into battle in person. He was originally waiting for the appointed time to launch an attack, but unexpectedly, they were suddenly attacked by the Han army.
Suddenly, a melee broke out. The King of Goguryeo knew in his heart that the plan failed, and he was not depressed. He immediately wanted to escape, but was bitten by the Han army. Lu Bu led the cavalry to chase and kill him, forcing the King of Goguryeo to endure the pain.
Leaving behind an elite group, he led the rest of the soldiers to flee the battlefield as quickly as possible. On the frontal battlefield, they were no match for the Han army.
In just one battle, Goguryeo suffered heavy casualties and paid the price of thousands of people.
This made the King of Goguryeo understand that he could not fight the Han army head-on. However, Zhang Wen and Lieutenant Zhang were obviously much more difficult to deal with than he thought. While the two sides were fighting, Zhang Wen ordered Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song to fight at the same time.
When attacking, we must continuously reduce their survival range and take advantage of the emptiness in their rear to seize more important military locations.
In addition, he sent envoys to ask Fuyu to cut off Goguryeo's way of life from behind.
Dong Zhuo set out from Sanhan and Huangfu Song set out from Xinqin. The two armies were overwhelming. They only suffered a few small-scale battles and gained large areas of military importance. According to the order of the Taiwei, the two armies joined forces.
The Mo Fortress of Goguryeo completely cut Goguryeo in the middle and divided it into two parts, causing the north and south to lose contact.
The King of Goguryeo was trapped in this huge encirclement. Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, and Zhang Wen surrounded the King of Goguryeo. After that, Zhang Wen did not rush to order another attack. Instead, he asked Dong Zhuo to attack.
He and Huangfu Song's troops were guarding these important places and could not let the King of Goguryeo escape. After losing contact with the royal city and supplies from the north, he did not believe that the King of Goguryeo's army could sustain it for too long!
Being surrounded by enemies in his own territory was something the King of Goguryeo never expected. Zhang Wen always paid attention to the overall situation in his battles. He had a long-term vision. In his hands, several armies used
Extremely flexible, he did not pay attention to small battles. After holding back the King of Goguryeo, he quickly used Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song to restrict Goguryeo to the southern region.
When Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song marched in a hurry, the King of Goguryeo did not even realize that he was surrounded. When he lost contact with the royal city, it was already too late. He could only rely on his familiarity with the terrain to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.
He hoped to change the situation through victory in some small battles in these places, but unfortunately, Zhang Wen did not give him this opportunity at all.
First, they trapped him for half a month, and then they calmly began to compress the entire encirclement, approaching step by step and shrinking bit by bit. This made the King of Goguryeo a little desperate, and he also launched several breakouts.
But he was completely unable to break through the Han army's encirclement, and the Han army's encirclement was getting smaller and smaller. Even if he could hide again, one day he would encounter the encirclement and attack of these three armies.
After being pressed by the Han army, the King of Goguryeo thought for a long time and finally made a decision. He dispersed the entire 30,000-strong army and fled from the encirclement of the Han army. Previously, he expected that the Han army would not withdraw.
So he moved the royal city to the relatively safe north, far away from the fighting south, and hoarded a large amount of military supplies, preparing to use the terrain to fight the Han army for a long time.
But he didn't expect that he would end up like this. He also had great courage and directly ordered the soldiers to disperse and start fleeing.
Under such circumstances, the situation was somewhat unfavorable for the Han army, because Goguryeo was very mountainous, and while the Han army narrowed the encirclement, it was impossible not to leave a gap for one or two people to pass through. Goguryeo's idle soldiers were mixed in the local area.
The common people continued to escape from these gaps. After a few people were captured, Dong Zhuo and others suddenly realized that they no longer forced the encirclement, but strengthened the encirclement.
However, it is a pity that they woke up a little late. They did not expect that the enemy chief would have such courage. He directly disbanded the army and sought a breakout from everywhere. Some even fled to Youzhou, where they committed evil, and were killed by county soldiers.
After being captured, Zhang Wen was a little helpless. After all, they were not locals. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that he should make good use of those Donghao people!
"Fengxian, if I want to use the Dongyao people group as a military force, I will use you as the captain..."
Lu Bu shook his head in horror and said: "I am good at cavalry, but I may not be able to lead it..."
"Fengxian, even if the Dongyue people cannot fight, they are very familiar with the terrain. As long as they can find out the location and route of the fleeing Goguryeo soldiers in various places and report them to the Han army, you are the most brave...and your strategy is unparalleled.
..”
If Zhang Wen usually praises Lu Bu like this, Lu Bu will definitely agree. Even if Zhang Wen asks him to kill the King of Goguryeo alone, he will not back down. But at this moment, he really doesn't want to lead an army of Donghao people.
, even if he gives himself some of the Huns cavalry under Dong Zhuo's command? He thought for a long time and said solemnly: "Mr. Zhang, I have something to say. I hope you will listen carefully."
"I don't know Dong Hao's language. Generals and soldiers cannot communicate with each other, which is a taboo for military strategists. I am brave in temperament, but Dong Hao is weak. If I were to be the general, I am afraid that it will be difficult to lead. I am not willing to bear the crime of killing soldiers. However,
, I have a person here who can be used by the public!"
"Who is it?" Zhang Wen asked with some confusion.
"This man is from Youzhou. He lived with Cao Cao for a long time in Sanhan, and was appointed by Dong Hao. He is familiar with Dong Hao's words. He is brave and brave, good at riding and shooting. He is called Gongsun Zan, with the courtesy name Bogui! Cao Cao left for Luoyang.
, this person will serve as a military prince under my account! I recommend this person, and he will definitely be a captain!" Lu Bu said with confidence.
When Lu Bu said this, Zhang Wen was a little curious and said with a smile: "Then bring him..."
Soon after, a burly man with a long beard and a strong beard walked into the camp and bowed to Zhang Wen. He didn't know why the captain wanted to receive him. He was full of doubts and a little excited. This was a big man.
Ah, he is the commander-in-chief of the country's military, and he is just a small military prince. Looking at Lu Bu's thoughtful look just now, could it be that the captain has discovered his talent?
Or did the emperor inform the Taiwei?
When he went to Luoyang now, he met the current emperor when he was still the prince.
Zhang Wen looked the young man in front of him up and down and said with a smile: "Are you Gongsun Zan?"
"Exactly!"
"Okay..." Zhang Wen was very satisfied with his appearance. He looked like a general, which was good. He then said, "If I take you as the captain, how will you treat me?"
Hearing Zhang Wen's question, Gongsun Zan suddenly raised his head, his whole body trembling with excitement, and said: "I will definitely die!!"
"Hahaha, do you know Donghao language?"
"Know!"
"Okay, I will build a new battalion under the name of Huangfusong Garrison. It will be called the Heroic Battalion, and you will be named the Heroic Colonel... You can get military supplies from Tao Qian, and later ask Lu Bu to take you to check out the new army!
"
"Thank you, Lieutenant!!"
Gongsun Zan said excitedly that his opportunity to make a contribution finally came. He was an arrogant and strong man. Since the Taiwei trusted him so much, he must train a brave and strong army and make the enemy frightened. He thought in his heart and headed towards
After Zhang Wen thanked him again and again, he left the camp. Zhang Wen informed Tao Qian, the governor, to give him equipment to arm three thousand men.
Gongsun Zan went to Huangfu Song again and received military orders. From then on, he became the captain under Huangfu Song.
After dealing with many things, he wanted to go see his soldiers, but Lu Bu stopped him. He said that the new army would still be armed. In addition, he reminded him that military orders are like mountains and must not be violated. Lu Bu said this,
Gongsun Zan suddenly felt doubtful, and remembered that Zhang Wen had asked him if he knew the Donghao language. He frowned and thought, could he lead his army to fight against the Donghao people in Goguryeo?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He knew the Donghao people's character. If he were allowed to attack the Donghao people, it would be an insult to him.
Three days later, Lu Bu ordered him to take over the new army.
Gongsun Zan arrived at the school grounds proudly, still extremely excited. This was the first time he had commanded the soldiers alone, the brave camp. He smiled, walked into the camp, walked to the general platform, looked down, and saw only the soldiers below.
Gongsun Zan was also stunned by his head lowered, with a fearful look on his face, not daring to raise his head. Can these be considered military?
The military lord on the side said: "Captain Gongsun, these are the Donghao people sent by Goguryeo... They are the braver ones among them..."
Gongsun Zan almost spewed blood, and the army composed of Donghao people was also named Xiaoyong Camp???
He was about to run away on the spot, left the school grounds, and went to find Zhang Wen. He walked a few steps, but stopped again. Lu Bu once said, there are so many military orders... When the Taiwei entrusted this army to him, was he trusting him?
Can I lead them into a strong army?
Gongsun Zan thought to himself and returned to the general platform. He frowned and stared at the soldiers below.
Donghao people are not good at fighting... No, it's not that they are not good at fighting, it's that they never fight. The terrain of Donghao was originally not bordered by surrounding areas. They are rich in materials, including fish, shrimp, fruits, and salt. They
They have no worries about food and drink, and have never fought with foreigners. Therefore, they have developed such a temperament. No one dares to imagine that they can form an army.
However, Gongsun Zan believed in his heart that there was absolutely no army in the world that was not well-trained!
As long as you strengthen your training and let them recall their courage, they will definitely become a strong army of the Han Dynasty in the future, worthy of this brave banner!
If I can train these cowardly Donghao people into a strong army, I will definitely become famous in the future. Think about it, if I can train the Donghao people into a strong army, what other strong army cannot be trained? Gongsun Zan frowned.
He frowned and thought to himself that in the future, he would give each of them a white horse to form a strong army and make the enemy frightened!
After he made up his mind, he looked at these Donghao people coldly and shouted:
"I am your captain! Gongsun Zan!"
"From now on, you will be my soldiers and the soldiers of the Han Dynasty!"
Hearing Gongsun Zan speak Donghao language, these Donghao people were a little surprised. They raised their heads and looked at Gongsun Zan.
"I know that everyone looks down on you and thinks that Dong Yi is all a coward, but I, Gongsun Zan, don't think so!"
"You are also human beings with families and children. How can you forget the hatred between Goguryeo and you?"
"I will train you strictly and let the world see that there are warriors in the Donghao people! You are not cowards!!"
"If anyone thinks that he can't stand such training and admits that he is a coward, then throw away the spear in his hand! Leave the military camp now!!!"
Gongsun Zan roared angrily.
"Crash~~~" Dong Haoren happily threw away the spear in his hand and ran away, leaving no one behind.
The military princes beside Gongsun Zan were shocked and shouted:
