Gongsun Zhu's decision was not done randomly. If nothing else... Liu Bei, who was under Gongsun Zhu, saw the problem.
You know, Liu Bei himself has little experience now, but from Liu Bei's perspective, he can tell Gongsun Zhu that this situation is not good.
He could even tell that Zhang Wen was fooling around in Youzhou.
Since this is already the case, Gongsun Zhu will naturally not wait here to die.
Of course, it was not just Gongsun Zhu who was thinking of a solution, but many generals and commanders under Huangfu Song were also thinking of a solution at this time.
After all, no one of us who can get to this point is a fool.
Needless to say, following Huangfu Song, General Huangfu led them to fight against the Qiang and Hu rebels. This was a true contribution to the country.
But in the end, Zhang Wen and Sikong came to take over with an army. This is not called taking credit, but receiving rewards.
But even when he was receiving the reward, he didn't look like he was accepting the reward. He looked more like he was sending himself to death.
They were all people who had actually fought in the northwest. To be honest, Dong Zhuo also knew the strength of the Qiang and Hu very well.
He even knew that that battle was just the beginning, and it was far from the time to receive the reward.
They knew very well what the court didn't know.
Knowing that now, they had only defeated Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou among the Qiang and Hu.
Even just defeated the opponent, rather than killing or completely defeating the opponent. This is an essential difference.
Especially in Liangzhou, there are Bian Yun and Han Yue...
At this time, Zhang Wen only thought about coming with his 100,000 generals to sweep away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind. Little did he know that Bian Zhang and Han Sui had already joined them from Liangzhou with their troops.
While Zhang Wen was hesitating and dilly-dallying, the rebels from the northwest also gathered together. They also numbered in the tens of thousands.
Moreover, this is the northwest, and the most indispensable thing is the Qiang Hu. When there is turmoil here, other Qiang Hu tribes are also ready to take action.
No one can guarantee that they will not intervene directly. It can be said that at this most critical time, Dong Zhuo does not think he can do it, and Gongsun Zhu does not agree with replacing Huangfu Song with such a thing.
So Gongsun Zhu immediately took out his identity as a local official and said that it would be impossible for him to die with them here.
Gongsun Zhu was not clear. What he should do was to put down the rebellion before going to Jincheng County to take up his post. As for whether to succeed Chen Yi or if there were any other changes, that was a matter for the court.
But now, Gongsun Zhu is ahead of schedule!
Before Zhang Wen's arrival, Dong Zhuo was still the deputy general of the army and temporarily commanded the army during the period after Huangfu Song left.
After Gongsun Zhu discovered this, he immediately took the initiative to find Dong Zhuo. Although he didn't like Dong Zhuo, the two sides were still very passable.
Gongsun Zhu respected Dong Zhuo, and at the same time he also stated his purpose of going to Jincheng County without any concealment.
It just told Dong Zhuo that he didn't trust Zhang Wen, which made Dong Zhuo feel like a newcomer.
At the same time, Gongsun Zhu also gave Dong Zhuo a reason to let him leave.
That is, if Gongsun Zhu can regain a foothold in Jincheng County, then he can directly cut off the rebels' return path, leaving them to fight the imperial court here.
This is also an extremely important thing for the imperial army.
Of course, if you want to achieve this, you need some support from Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo doesn't have any objections to this.
After all...this food and baggage will soon have nothing to do with him.
He didn't dare to use these things to enrich his own pockets. It would be good to exchange favors for Gongsun Zhu.
Who let Lu Zhi stand behind Gongsun Zhu?
As for the fact that the soldiers and horses under Gongsun Zhu's command were still not enough to go deep alone, Gongsun Zhu also considered it.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, recruiting people nearby. There are many warriors in Huaili, and the folk customs are also very tough.
As for whether he can recruit elites, this is just because there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and Dong Zhuo will not be stingy, which is excellent for Gongsun Zhu.
After the recruitment of soldiers began, Gongsun Zhu also began to personally patrol the recruitment area. He just wanted to get more soldiers, horses and young men here.
I also hope... that I can truly stand firm and become a true Fufeng hero!
After a day passed, Gongsun Zhu had to leave.
The change finally occurred.
It was a Qiang cavalry group, galloping in from a very far away place.
In that direction, one could tell at a glance that it was rushing towards where they were.
This scene immediately made everyone frown, and a soldier quickly stepped forward, even preparing to close the city gate, worried about whether the Qiang people were attacking.
However, when they were about to arrive at the city, the hundreds of Qiang and Hu riders suddenly stopped. Their uniform movements made Gongsun Zhu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
I know this Qiang and Hu cavalry are very capable!
Among the Qiang and Hu cavalry, the leader walked out alone to the place where they were recruiting troops.
"Is this where the imperial court recruits troops?" The man's face was a little sallow, his mouth and nose were quite big, and he looked a bit fierce.
After listening to the man's words, Guan Hai, the young general in the army who was in charge of recruiting troops today, immediately stood up.
"This is the place to recruit troops. Who are the brave men who want to join our army?"
"A certain family, Chengyi, was once displaced due to war and gathered a group of brothers to make ends meet. I wonder if you can include it?"
After Cheng Yi finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips, as if he was waiting for something good.
Being displaced and looking for a living is a nicer thing to say!
But if it sounds ugly, then he is just a first-rate bandit.
Of course, Guan Hai himself knew what he was like before. He didn't mean to look down on Cheng Yi, but he really couldn't make the decision on some things.
"There are many wars in Liangzhou, and many heroes are people who have no control over their own actions. We are deeply honored that Your Excellency has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.
It's just that I have a word first. When you join our army, you must abide by our military discipline. Everything you do in the future will be in the face of the imperial court. You can't be as casual as before. If there is any disobedience to military orders, I will not be merciful. "
Just when Guan Hai was hesitating, Gongsun Zhu took the initiative and walked out with a big smile.
He has never heard of this name, but...he has a crush on him!
"Write the name of the strong man, and we will be your brothers from now on!"
At this time, Gongsun Zhu had already agreed to the matter. Guan Hai immediately felt relieved and laughed. He couldn't help but look at Cheng Yi with a much kinder look at this time.
