Chapter 1333: Honest Man Gongsun Fan
Lao Du understood what Huangfu Chaobo meant. He asked a few of his people to go to Nanyang with special troops to have a good chat with Zhao Zilong. In fact, he asked a few of his own people to understand and confirm what Zonghengxia meant. Zhao Zilong had basically agreed to join him. It's just that he hopes to build a large enough territory to house a group of brothers under his subordinates, which means a country within a country. Huangfu Chaobo doesn't seem to object to this meaning, but under Zongheng, they have arrived. There is still no expression at all, so this is Huangfu Chaobo's concern.
But this time, a few of them happened to be back, so this task fell gloriously to a few of them, no, it fell on themselves. Jiejie was a simple-minded guy and could not understand the meaning from Huangfu Chaobo's words, and the knights did not have such a good relationship with them, so in the end, this task could only fall on him.
When he thought of this, Lao Du couldn't help but have a headache. However, after Jiejie completed the transfer of his two houses, he couldn't come up with a good way. It was best to have the idea that soldiers would block it and water would cover it. .
In the next few days, the two of them were busy decorating the mansion in the game, and at the same time arranged a group of subordinate warriors to familiarize themselves with their five hundred soldiers in the army. When he saw the five hundred elite soldiers, despite Lao Du's calmness, he couldn't even close his mouth from ear to ear.
A few days later, the knights also rushed back to Luoyang from Shangjun. The three of them went to the palace to meet Huangfu Chaobo. Then, after letting the knights rest in Luoyang for a while, the three of them led 1,500 elites and set off all the way. Luoyang South Gate, heading towards Nanyang.
At this time, thousands of miles away in Youbeiping, Gongsun Fan, who was handling government affairs at the Guowei Mansion, heard the report from the commander of the guards outside the door. It was Huang Xu, the champion general of the Tang Dynasty, who was asking for a meeting outside the manor. Gongsun Fan was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly ordered the opening of the battle. He put down his government affairs and rushed to the middle gate to greet him.
Soon Gongsun Fan came to the gate and saw Huang Xu standing outside in a military uniform waiting for him. Behind him were hundreds of Tang Army cavalry guards.
Gongsun Fan laughed and said: "It's freezing cold. What kind of wind blew General Huang to Youbeiping?"
"Foreign General Huang Xu pays homage to Lord Guowei!" Seeing this, Huang Xu quickly bowed and saluted Gongsun Fan.
"Hey, General Huang, no need to be polite!" Gongsun Fan came forward with a smile, helped Huang Xu up and said, "Come on, come on, it's cold outside, General, please go into the house and talk."
He held Huang Xu's hand and led him towards the mansion. He turned around and ordered the commander of the guards beside him: "Arrange the Tang Army brothers to rest in the front yard. Treat them with good wine and food. Don't neglect them."
"Thank you, Mr. Guowei. The wine will be waived. Just arrange some hot soup for the brothers. We need to rush back to Yanbei in a little while. If we delay too long, we may encounter heavy snow. Once it freezes, we will be in trouble." Huang Xu hurriedly said Thank you;
Gongsun Fan was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that something had happened. Without further ado, he quickly led Huang Xu to the study room in the side hall. After entering the study room, and having someone give Huang Xu hot soup and snacks, Gongsun Fan Then he drove away the guards and maids.
Huang Xu didn't have much. After drinking a large bowl of hot soup and eating a few snacks, he let out a long breath.
Seeing this, Gongsun Fan quickly said, "I wonder why General Huang is in such a hurry?"
"Come this time,
We will not receive the intelligence discovered from Luoyang. According to the intelligence sent back by Shadow from Hebei, the entire Wei State has secretly mobilized troops. However, due to the rapid development of Wei State's Yan Ling Guards in recent years, our country's Shadow Guards have been Hebei's strength was greatly damaged, so although they tried their best to inquire, they were not able to figure out the exact information about Wei. "
When Gongsun Fan heard this, he was shocked. The changes in the Wei State were in several directions. The most likely direction was the Yan State. Of course, it was also possible that the King of Wei was preparing to clean up the Black Mountain bandits, or to attack Wei Jun and Hanoi in the Tang State eastward. , but the most likely one is Yan State.
"What's the information?" he asked quickly;
Huang Xu shook his head: "I haven't found out clearly. I just know that Wei's troops, horses, and food are concentrated in three directions. I can't find out where Ju Xiu's troops are sent. Just because the intelligence can't be confirmed, your Majesty. I asked General Wei to come and send a message to the Lieutenant of the State, hoping that the Lieutenant of the State can remind His Highness King Yan to pay attention."
"Now our Hanoi and Weijun armies have begun to make preparations, and the king has transferred 10,000 Huns cavalry from General Xupuguduhou who was sent to Chenliu to Weijun, just to prevent the Wei army from advancing eastward."
Hearing this, Gongsun Fan quickly asked: "Did the King of Tang mention anything else?"
Looking at Gongsun Fan's gaze, Huang Xu sighed in his heart, but he had to bite the bullet and reply: "My uncle asked me to tell the Lieutenant of the State that for the current plan, because of the lack of information, I can only ask the Lieutenant of the State to report it to Chen Yan King, strengthen your defenses. If Wei really comes to attack, as long as we receive King Yan’s request for help, we will do our best.”
Hearing this, Gongsun Fan immediately felt relieved.
Huang Xu added: "It's just..."
Gongsun Fan's heart tightened: "Just what?"
"It's just that our country will definitely use troops against the State of Zhao next year. If the State of Wei really comes to attack, please ask the state lieutenant to report to King Chen Yan to stand firm and wait for help. I believe that with the strength of the State of Yan, it can hold on for half a year under the attack of the State of Wei. There should be no problem in a year. At that time, our army will capture the northern part of Zhao as soon as possible, and then send troops directly from the direction of Shanggu to help. "
"That's good." Hearing this, Gongsun Fan breathed a long sigh of relief, but he quickly realized: "General Huang means the soldiers and horses of Yanbei..."
Huang Xu nodded and shook his head: "At the end of the war, Yanbei's army will definitely join the battle. Of course, not all of them will participate. Only the 20,000 cavalry from the Hekong camp and the 20,000 Wuhuan cavalry from the Liaodong vassal state will participate. They will start from the northern foot of Yanshan Mountain, go straight to Danhan Mountain, and attack Yanmen County in the north of Bingzhou as a partial division."
"Ah! As a result, doesn't Qi have almost all the cavalry in Yanbei and Liaodong?" Gongsun Fan was stunned and said in shock;
"No, there are still 5,000 cavalry troops left in Yanbei County and the Liaodong vassal state." Huang Xu explained; "So, the uncle's intention is to ask the Lord Wei to make two preparations. Once the king comes, ask the King of Yan to hold on. Jicheng, secondly, once the Wei State finds that Jicheng is difficult to capture in a moment, it is very likely that it will divide its troops and march eastward. So..."
Hearing this, Gongsun Fan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, please tell General Huang to tell the King of Tang for me. Gongsun Fan understands and will definitely report to the King as soon as possible and make complete preparations." "Well," Huang Xu nodded: "Please also Forgive me, the king of the state, the reason why the uncle did not directly inform Jicheng is because the information has not been confirmed yet, and secondly, after the last troop dispatch, the King of Yan seems to have a certain attitude toward the uncle..." "Understood, no matter what, Gongsun Fan is already very grateful to the King of Tang. After this incident, I will definitely go to Luoyang to express my gratitude in person." Gongsun Zan nodded repeatedly;
