Gongsun Zhu and Liu Bei met again, even though they hadn't seen each other for just a few days, they both felt as if they were worlds apart.
This was especially true for Liu Bei. His eyes looking at Gongsun Zhu were full of...inexplicable expressions.
That was the feeling after going through a big change, and Gongsun Zhu naturally understood it.
Regarding this change in his attitude, Gongsun Zhu didn't say much, even to the words that Guan Yu and others seemed to want to say.
He was actually already prepared.
"From today on, you will stay with the certain family, and the soldiers and horses will naturally be separated from the certain family.
But... setting up camp and training soldiers and horses can be done together. "
Gongsun Zhu didn't let them take the initiative to speak. He knew that Guan Yu and the others were talented and capable, but their methods were a little too wild and their self-esteem was a little too high.
That's why the progress is a bit slow.
But Gongsun Zhu wanted to truly use them for his own use, so naturally he would not make things difficult for them.
It was a combination of kindness and power. They had already seen the power just now, and naturally the kindness was also told to them.
After hearing Gongsun Zhu's words, Guan Yu and others suddenly looked a little happy, and Liu Bei naturally discovered this.
Liu Bei, who understood Gongsun Zhu's thoughts, did not have any unnecessary thoughts at this time.
Just like Cao Mengde was killing people in Jinan, and he did not hesitate to offend the entire Jinan County for the sake of countless people.
This Liu Bei has long passed the age when he clamored to take advantage of this canopy...
At this time, what Liu Bei wants is to achieve fame and contribute to the country. To put it more directly... He wants to help the powerful man and revitalize his own family...
Therefore, there is such harmony between him and Gongsun Zhu.
The armies were merged together. Gongsun Zhu gave Guan Yu a lot of advice and did not hesitate to tell them how to train soldiers and horses. These were all training methods for the Bingzhou border army.
It is a method that has truly been handed down from the battlefield.
In this regard, Guan Yu and others were naturally very willing to learn from Gongsun Zhu's skills.
It's just teaching, but Gongsun Zhu didn't dare to stay any longer because they had no time!
However, within three to five days, the defense line of Fufeng County had been built to take some shape.
Gongsun Zhu also immediately ordered the army to set off again.
At this time, no matter what the state of Liu Bei and Guan Yu is now, whether they have rested again.
Gongsun Zhudu must order them to continue marching toward the northwest.
If not for anything else, the previous battle started with the Qiang and Hu on the outskirts of the Qinling Mountains in Fufeng County.
It can even be said that this battlefield is not far from Huaili in Fufeng on the right. Although this battle was won, this battle also shows that the Qiang and Hu's current position is already within Fufeng County.
Even the heart of the heart!
At this time, the main force of Beigong Boyu's Qiang and Hu troops had also come out from Hanyang County, covering less than half the journey to Fufeng County.
What's more important is that they also gathered many Qiang and Hu tribes along the way, making their originally not strong troops now even stronger.
The ubiquitous Qianghu is one of the biggest reasons why the Northwest has been unable to calm down for so many years.
The northwest is already in chaos, and the Qiang and Hu are already unsettled, and there are still a lot of them!
Ever since Emperor Xiaoan and Queen Mother Deng, the northwest has never stopped.
Ren Shang and Deng Zun assassinated the leader of the Qiang and Hu, and Liangzhou Sanming directly massacred the Qiang and Hu. Various methods were used.
But no matter what method, the Qiang and Hu on the northwest surface were finally cleared away, but new tribes would appear in those cleared areas.
It was as if the Qiang and Hu could never be killed cleanly, and they were killed one after another.
The most important thing is Youfufeng. Although it is the land of Sanqin and Sanfu, the terrain of Fufeng County is very special.
Not to mention that Fufeng County itself is well connected in all directions, and there are no dangerous places for them to garrison.
I can only think of ways to build up lines of defense on my own.
Even Gongsun Zhu knew that even if they could defend according to the danger, who could guarantee that they would not spread out.
The outcome then will probably not be much different.
What if those Qiang Hus, who don't understand the rules and don't know the importance of good or bad, did something excessive?
Or maybe some blind person just went to Chang'an or the tombs of the Han emperors near Chang'an.
Then their group of generals who were supposed to pacify the northwest really had no chance.
If nothing else, don't even think about keeping their heads.
It was because of this incident that Gongsun Zhu asked Liu Bei to go. The purpose of his initiative was to use Liu Bei to seduce Beigong Boyu.
Moreover, when Beigong Boyu comes to Fufeng, he will definitely gather the surrounding tribes and soldiers.
Therefore, for Gongsun Zhu, the best way is to take advantage of the fact that they are still gathering and fight them back to Hanyang County first.
Although this method is somewhat unreasonable, it is the best outcome for Gongsun Zhu, and even for Huangfu Song and the imperial army under his command.
After all, Hanyang County is not Fufeng, not to mention that it has become the most stalemate on the battlefield.
The most important thing is that no matter how miserable the Hanyang army was beaten, it is still a matter of the new Liangzhou governor!
As for how to deal with those Qiang Hu and those rebels in Hanyang County.
They are the imperial army and they have responsibilities, but this is also the matter of Yang Yong, the governor of Liangzhou!
Even if problems eventually arise again, Yang Yong, the new governor of Yangzhou, will bear half of the responsibility. This is Gongsun Zhu's ultimate goal.
Not very aboveboard, but reasonable...
But if they can't drive their group of Qiang and Hu out of Youfufeng, or even prevent the group of Qiang and Hu from continuing to penetrate deeper, then this matter will be a matter for the generals of their imperial army.
The opportunities and positions that Gongsun Zhu finally gained will disappear in an instant.
At this moment, Gongsun Zhu actually understood Dong Zhuo for a moment...
Therefore, Gongsun Zhu did not stay any longer, let alone wait for Huangfu Song.
Immediately ordered to continue marching, and then pushed forward step by step. The Qiang and Hu must be sent back first. It is much better to feel sorry for Yang Yong than to feel sorry for themselves.
At this time, Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song, who were behind Gongsun Zhu, also knew the whole incident from Gongsun Zhu's battle report.
They are all veterans on the battlefield, so they naturally know the power of Qiang Hu.
In this regard, they agreed with Gongsun Zhu's idea, but they were also worried that haste made waste in haste, and they did not want Gongsun Zhu to be plotted by the Qiang Hu.
So after a short discussion, Huangfu Song also ordered again to speed up the march of the army and rush towards Gongsun Zhu's direction as quickly as possible.
In the end, Huangfu Song led the army and Dong Zhuo led the partial division. The group met up with Gongsun Zhu at You Fufeng.
When the army gathered together, their strength suddenly grew stronger. Even if Tao Qian hadn't arrived yet, it would not harm the overall situation for them.
After Huangfu Song arrived with his troops, he did not blame Liu Bei for his previous failure, and even ignored some of Gongsun Zhu's thoughts.
After learning that Gongsun Zhu had set up many lines of defense in Fufeng County to contain the Qiang Hu in his name, he immediately nodded and took the initiative to take the matter on his own body.
Of course, this was not because Huangfu Song wanted to seize the credit, but because Huangfu Song also knew what the consequences would be if Gongsun Zhu acted on his own initiative.
Anyway, we won in the end, and the credit must go to Gongsun Zhu. But if something unexpected happens again, or someone reports Gongsun Zhu for wasting the people and losing money, etc.
What happened to Huangfu Song today can be said to be that he took on the whole task of holding the army in Huaili.
Many people couldn't believe that Huangfu Song was so kind, but Gongsun Zhu had already understood.
He knew very well that the Northwest Territory was completely eroded at this time. They were still persisting now not because they had any hope, but because they were insisting on force.
So at this time, what is needed in the army is not strict rewards and punishments, let alone punishing others.
What the bacteria need most now is to boost the morale of the soldiers.
As long as the morale is high and the soldiers can resist the Qiang and Hu, it is a great achievement. He can clearly distinguish the merits and demerits of the things involved.
After Huangfu Song entered Liangzhou, his attitude and even temperament changed significantly.
Even Dong Zhuo, who had been humiliated on the battlefield in Jizhou, couldn't help but feel... a hearty feeling when he returned to Liangzhou!
For this reason, Gongsun Zhu seemed to think of something someone once said to him.
If you want to deal with the rebellion in Liangzhou, you can only use real Liangzhou people.
Who was the person who said this in the first place, but no matter who it was, the grass on his grave was probably already three feet high.
Because this sentence is an old saying that has been circulating since hundreds of years ago...
The person who said this died, but the words have been passed down.
This shows that this sentence is a wise saying.
Over the years, the northwest has become even more unsettled. Not to mention the recurring rebellions, the Qiang and Hu have also colluded with many forces in the northwest.
What makes people even more confused is that every time the Han Dynasty was able to quell the rebellion in the northwest, they were all from Liangzhou, just like the nursery rhyme said...
Zhang Huan of Sanming in Liangzhou was from Wuwei in Liangzhou, General Huangfu Gui was from Fufeng County, and the leader of Sanming, Colonel Duan Jiong who was protecting the Qiang, was even more so, he was also from Wuwei.
It can be said that they are all from Liangzhou.
This is also because the fighting styles of the Qiang and Hu in Liangzhou are only familiar to Liangzhou people like them.
