"Mr. Gongsun, don't you think my sword can't kill people?" Liu Yu said with a gloomy expression while holding the sword.
Liu Yuzhen was a little angry. Is there something wrong with Gongsun Sheng, just to amuse himself?
"I don't have a clever plan to restrain the Xianbei cavalry." Gongsun Sheng replied calmly, "If I had, I wouldn't have fallen to this."
"Then Mr. Gongsun came here just to entertain me?"
"How dare you violate the general's power? If you really want to restrain the Xianbei cavalry, there is no other way but eight words." Gongsun Sheng said.
"Oh? Which eight characters?"
"The armor is strong and the army is strong, and the soldiers use their lives." Gongsun Sheng said firmly.
After hearing what Gongsun Sheng said, Dong Ping, Tian Jin, Li Feng and others all looked disappointed. They felt that this Gongsun Sheng was not even as good as a liar. The liar would at least brag nonsense, but this Gongsun Sheng could only say: "Look!" Seemingly useful nonsense.
When Liu Yu heard Gongsun Sheng say this, he agreed with it, feeling that Gongsun Sheng was not the kind of liar who talks freely.
Li Shimin, Taizong of the later Tang Dynasty, often summed it up with the sentence "Without him, the armor is strong and the soldiers are strong" when talking about his glorious achievements.
"Hmph, if even a young kid like this knows, does Mr. Gongsun use it to fool me? Do you think I'm a fool?" Liu Yu said with a fake look on his face.
"It is said that it is easier to know than to do." Gongsun Sheng said without any emotion, "Now that the world is in chaos, how many people can do it?"
"In my opinion, my disciples from Donglai are strong soldiers and strong soldiers, and their soldiers are loyal to their lives," Liu Yu said.
"Then I dare to ask the general, why did you just say that you are worried about the Xianbei cavalry attack?" Gongsun Sheng continued, "General, there is no need to test me. Although I, Gongsun Sheng, came from a humble background, I served as military counselor in the Chengdu shogunate for many years. , as long as the general listens to a certain good advice, he will definitely create a strong army with strong armor and strong soldiers and soldiers who will fight for their lives."
"Are you from the shogunate of King Sima Ying of Chengdu?" Liu Yu was a little surprised when he heard Gongsun Sheng talk about his experience.
Sima Ying was the former crown prince and the heir to the imperial throne. Although he was completely defeated last year, many of Sima Ying's former generals still have strong strength, including the Huns who have become kings in Bingzhou. Liu Yuan, a Gongshi fan who claimed to be a general in Jizhou.
"Mr. Gongsun, since he is an old member of the Chengdu domain, he should go to Liu Yuan or Gongshi domain, who have old friends with him." Liu Yu thought that these two people were closer than him.
"Liu Yuan is a barbarian from Bingzhou. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to our ancestors to go to him?" Gongsun Sheng was quite disgusted with Liu Yuan. "Gongshi Fan was treacherous and shameless. I had a bad relationship with him in the past. It is only because of him that I am in this mess." .”
"To be honest, although the world is huge, there is no place for us and other old people from the Chengdu feudal mansion to stay." Gongsun Sheng said with a lonely look.
Now that the Eight Kings Rebellion is coming to an end, Sima Yue, King of the East China Sea, has won the final victory, and all previous political opponents have been liquidated one by one.
"Then why did Mr. Gongsun defect to me? Wang Mi's reputation is much better than mine?"
"I have heard many rumors about Wang Mi when I was in Luoyang. Wang Mi likes knights. He has robbed and killed passers-by many times and had close relations with the Hu people in Luoyang. I think Wang Mi is a ruthless person. The unjust villain is a lunatic who is afraid of chaos in the world." Gongsun Sheng said angrily.
"Then Mr. Gongsun, why do you think I'm not a villain or a lunatic?" Liu Yu asked.
"When I was in Beihai County, I met many prisoners who were captured in the Battle of Weishui. I also knew that when releasing them, the general told them that they were all descendants of Xia Miao and people of Qin and Han, and could not bear to be harmed." Gongsun Sheng said after a pause.
"So, I know that the general is a benevolent and righteous person, and he is someone who can help me take revenge!"
"Oh? Revenge?" Liu Yu was a little confused, why is this related to revenge?
Then Gongsun Sheng told his origin completely.
Gongsun Sheng was a native of Yecheng, Wei County. His ancestors had been military households for generations since Emperor Wu of Wei Cao Cao established a military camp. Gongsun Sheng joined the army as a young man and participated in quelling the Xianbei rebellion in Hexi Province. Later he joined the shogunate of Chengdu King Sima Ying.
In the first year of Yongxing, Wang Jun, the governor of Youzhou, sent Xianbei cavalry to defeat Sima Ying. The Xianbei cavalry was as cruel and bloodthirsty as wild beasts. They burned, killed and looted inside and outside Yecheng. Afterwards, they robbed eight thousand Han women and surrendered them all on the way back. Yi Shui drowned.
Gongsun Sheng's family also suffered heavy casualties during the robbery, and his two daughters were also kidnapped and drowned in the Yishui River.
Gongsun Sheng, who followed Sima Ying to flee to Luoyang, heard about the tragic situation in Yecheng on the road, and also learned about the changes in his family. Gongsun Sheng returned to Yecheng, Wei County alone, hoping to contact Sima Ying's old troops who were scattered and hiding, and then waited for an opportunity to resurrect and find Wang Jun. Revenge with the Xianbei people.
Finally, after contacting many of Sima Ying's old men and recommending Gongshi Fan as the leader of the uprising, Gongsun Sheng thought he saw hope. However, Gongsun Sheng only focused on annexing friendly forces and plundering everywhere. They were just bandits. After Gongsun Sheng repeatedly dissuaded him, Gongshifan even wanted to kill him.
Gongsun Sheng had no choice but to flee and seek refuge with his old friends in Beihai County, Qingzhou. After Beihai County learned about the strength of the Donglai rebels, he decided to defect to the Donglai army and seek revenge.
After Liu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh, Gongsun Sheng was the predecessor of the rebellion. Although the Gongshi Fan in history raised troops, he was quickly wiped out by Gou Xi, the governor of Yanzhou in the Western Jin Dynasty.
But Gongshi Fan had a younger brother named Ji Sang, and this Ji Sang had a younger brother named Shi Le. This Shi Le was the Jie Ren Emperor who established Hou Zhao.
"Excuse me, sir, is there a person named Ji Sang in the Gongshi vassal army?" Liu Yu asked expectantly.
"There is indeed a cavalry general named Ji Sang, who was originally the pastoral commander in the garden." Gongsun Sheng was curious about how Liu Yu knew about Ji Sang. "Could it be the general's old friend?"
"No, no. Well, is there one of Ji Sang's men named Shi Le who is from Jie, Wuxiang, Shangdang County?"
"There are indeed many Jie slaves under Ji Sang who are from the Jieshi area of Shangdang County. As for their names, I have never asked them." Gongsun Sheng was even more confused. Liu Yu, a rebel from Donglai, asked what the rebels in Jizhou, Hebei were doing. .
"What a pity." Liu Yu sighed softly. It seemed that Shi Le had already followed Ji Sang and joined the army. It was too late to stop Shi Le from joining the army and starting a career.
"General, what are you regretting?" Gongsun Sheng asked cautiously.
"Haha, it's nothing." Liu Yu quickly changed the subject, "Come here and get some wine. Mr. Gongsun is a senior military officer. I have to ask him for advice on many military matters."
Liu Yu thought to himself that since Gongsun Sheng had fought with the Xianbei people in Hexi Province, he must be familiar with the training and command of the regular army in the Western Jin Dynasty. He must ask for advice and find out the reality of Gongsun Sheng to see if it was true. It’s not like he really has the talent to know soldiers.
able.
