Chapter 381: Awakening of Gongsun Zan
After the bodies of the Huns were burned, Ju Yi took over the task of guarding Juyongguan to prevent any further incidents there, while Hua Xiong and Gongsun Zan planned to go north to support Xue Rengui and others.
"General! Great joy, great joy!"
Just when Gongsun Zan and others were about to set off, Bai Ling, the only player among the Baima Yicong, ran out to report the good news.
"Where are you so happy?" Gongsun Zan looked at Bai Ling with a strange expression. Bai Ling was the only stranger he had recruited into his Baima Yicong.
"We won a great victory in the north. General Xue Rengui, General Yan Liang, General Yuwen Chengdu, and General Liu Zhoumu led four armies to encircle and defeat the Goryeo army. Now the siege of the north has been lifted." Bai Ling said excitedly, handing over the secret code agreed upon by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan.
He originally thought that he would not be able to make it to the martial arts competition organized by the system, but unexpectedly, with God's blessing, he could actually join in the fun.
"Okay, okay, give me the battle report quickly, and I will write a letter myself to request credit for all the generals!" Gongsun Zan was overjoyed. It was a good win. It was really gratifying to have double happiness.
"Uh..." Bai Ling was stuck. How could she, a mere player, have the ability to remember everything she saw?
"General, the battlefield in the north has not been cleaned up yet, and there is no detailed battle report. I only know that Lord Liu Yu informed us that the siege of the north has been lifted, and asked us to concentrate on dealing with the Hu people here."
Bai Ling said this quite embarrassedly, but Gongsun Zan didn't care about these at this time. Since there was a secret code, it meant that it was indeed the message sent by Liu Yu. Since he had already won, there was no need to rush for anything else.
"Good! Good! Good! I, Gongsun Zan, feel ashamed of the people of Youzhou this time, but I, Gongsun Zan, will not fall. I will repay today's revenge double in the future."
Gongsun Zan roared towards the sky in great joy , and the white horse's body of luck appeared. Then the shadow of the white horse began to sublimate into a white Pegasus with wings.
"The world is so vast, how can a hero live in a corner? I, Gongsun Bogui, have the courage and the determination to expand the territory for the Han Dynasty."
As Gongsun Zan spoke in sonorous and powerful Chinese, he was completely sublimated. Invisible waves emanated from him. He no longer had the original aging look. He was in high spirits and had an air of arrogance that made him look down on all the heroes.
In history, how could Gongsun Zan, who was able to force Yuan Shao, who had a large number of soldiers and generals, into a desperate situation and become a god, be just an incompetent warrior? He also had great potential. Gongsun Zan, who never withdrew from the soldiers on the frontier until his death, can be called a hero.
Hua Xiong on the side was a little dazed. He actually felt a faint sense of oppression from Gongsun Zan. At this moment, Gongsun Zan's aura was comparable to that of the wise and powerful Dong Zhuo back then.
"Monarch's talent!" Hua Xiong suddenly realized that something had awakened in Gongsun Zan.
It is generally accepted that legion talents only exist when the internal energy leaves the body, but there has never been any restriction on monarch talents. No matter if it is Yuan Shao, who is weak individually, or Liu Bei, who has great internal energy, they all have monarch talents.
And Gongsun Zan actually awakened and sublimated his monarch talent in front of him, which was incredible. Moreover, the Flying Bear Military Soul was a bear with wings, and Gongsun Zan's destiny was now manifested as a white horse with wings. No matter how you look at it, both parties had a great fate.
"General Gongsun, what are your plans for the next step?" Although he was shocked, Hua Xiong did not forget his position and hurriedly asked Gongsun Zan about his next plan.
[The Central Plains has been settled, and the general can be said to be a beacon of guidance for the world. If Gongsun Bogui had the intention to rebel, I'm afraid there would be another fight today. ]
Hua Xiong thought helplessly that he really had no interest in civil war now, but he would never allow others to shake the current good situation.
He was a rough man who didn't know much else, but he saw the changes in his family's life, the changes in the entire Xiliang, and the changes in the life of the family of his old brother who had died in the battle. He would never allow anyone to shake such a life.
"Don't worry, I, Gongsun Zan, have no interest in causing trouble. Now that the Han Dynasty is flourishing, I will be the vanguard of the country. I will take over Goryeo and the grasslands!"
Gongsun Zan swept his sharp eyes over Hua Xiong. Although he did not understand human nature, he saw through Hua Xiong's thoughts at a glance. After experiencing many ups and downs, and seeing the contributions of the Xiahou brothers and Feixiong Xiandeng to Youzhou, he had no interest in causing trouble.
What he had to do was to go abroad and start with the Hu people and Goryeo. If they dared to target Youzhou, he would make these guys pay the price in blood.
[In the country, there are great generals and prime ministers shining like the sun and the moon. The Han Dynasty is experiencing its third revival. I am not in vain to be born in such an era. The ancient sages were able to expand the territory, and I, Gongsun Zan, should surpass them! ]
Gongsun Zan's momentum kept changing, and finally stopped at the ambition of the group who wanted to surpass their ancestors.
Hua Xiong bowed. Gongsun Zan's honesty put his doubts to rest. As for the fate of the Hu people and Goryeo, he had no control over it. He was not a saint, so he didn't bother to care about the life and death of other forces. As long as it did not endanger the security of the Central Plains, he didn't care about anything.
He even thought that he should apply to go to the Western Regions from time to time. After all, he heard that Li Que and his men had already conquered a large territory in the Western Regions. So, as the leader of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it seemed that Fei Xiong should not continue to waste time in the country.
The extremely long history has endowed the Chinese people with a sense of mission, allowing them to fight their way out of the wild and narrow wilderness, establish one civilization after another, and make it more magnificent generation after generation.
From the mythological era to the tribal era, from the tribal era to the slave era, and then to the feudal era, and finally to the Han Dynasty, the footsteps of the descendants of Yan and Huang have never stopped, and the passion for opening up new territories runs in the blood of every ancestor.
Gongsun Zan looked calmly at the grassland outside Juyong Pass. That would be the place he would fight for all his life.
In the past, he had no chance, no stage, and could only rely on his unrepentant spirit to protect Youzhou's temporary peace. Now that he has the support of the Han Dynasty, he must realize his ambitions and completely solve the suffering of the people of Youzhou.
"My talent as a monarch is to surpass others? To constantly surpass my own limits? If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening. This is really appropriate!" Gongsun Zan looked at the fluorescent light in his hand calmly.
"Surpassing the previous situation of Youzhou, surpassing the current territory of Youzhou, and surpassing my own limits. Surpassing? It's really appropriate."
…
Before that, in a border town in the north.
The several armies that exchanged intelligence through foreigners agreed on a time to launch an attack together. In order to prevent any accidents from happening again, Liu Yu personally took Yan Rou deep into the rear of Goryeo to meet up with the King of Buyeo.
Facts also proved the wisdom of Liu Yu's move. The King of Buyeo, with an army of more than 100,000 people, was supervised by only 3,000 Goryeo soldiers and dared not move.
After Liu Yu personally took the field with 800 personal guards and directly defeated 3,000 Goryeo soldiers, King Buyeo realized that the Goryeo he feared was still vulnerable in front of the Han Dynasty.
The personal guards brought by Liu Yu were all retired imperial guards. They were able to easily defeat these Goryeo soldiers with only one talent. Under the leadership of Yan Rou, they annihilated these Goryeo soldiers without even expending any physical strength.
Especially since Liu Yu, who was very kind to them, followed them into battle and killed the enemy, the overall morale was high and the Goryeo soldiers had no room for resistance at all.
"Execute them all!" Liu Yu looked coldly at the Goryeo soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy. It was not a pity that the traitors should die. He was a civilizing party, but he would never waste his energy on soldiers from another country.
Anyone who invades the Han territory will be punished, no matter how far away they are. He was particularly dissatisfied with the fact that King Buyeo stood aside and watched.
Killing all the Goryeo soldiers was also to give a warning to the King of Buyeo. Liu Yu was a member of the education faction, but he was also a relative of the Han Dynasty. He was more decisive than Gongsun Zan in cleaning up the garbage that should not be educated.
"Gather the troops now and follow me. After the mission is accomplished, I swear in the name of the governor to accept all the people of Buyeo as citizens of Youzhou!"
Looking at Liu Yu covered in blood, King Fuyu couldn't say a word of objection.
The King of Fuyu immediately sided with Liu Yu, and after Liu Yu promised to accept the Fuyu people as citizens of Youzhou, he respectfully handed over the command of the army to Liu Yu.
"Yan Rou, Xian Yu Fu, Qi Zhou, Xian Yu Yin, organize the troops for me. Select the best soldiers and train them. We can set out in three days!"
"promise!"
Yeon Gaesomun did not notice the changes in the Buyeo people in the rear. After he suppressed the Buyeo king with 3,000 Goryeo soldiers, he was arrogant and looked down on Buyeo. He even did not want to use the Buyeo people as cannon fodder, for fear that the Buyeo people's morale would collapse and the army would be defeated.
Yeon Gaesomun only selected a small number of Buyeo people to serve as auxiliary troops, responsible for doing hard labor and so on, and he had no vigilance against the Buyeo people at all .
In fact, if Liu Yu had not gone deep behind enemy lines, the King of Fuyu would definitely not have dared to take action. Their inherent weakness made them dare not get involved in the struggles between any countries, and they could only survive in the cracks between various countries.
Originally, Liu Yu wanted to slowly educate Buyeo, but the performance of the King of Buyeo disappointed him. He even planned to send all the men of Buyeo to death and only leave the women of Buyeo to be incorporated into Youzhou.
This is the tragedy of small forces. Sometimes your biggest mistake is not expressing your opinion or taking sides.
However, Liu Yu was just making a plan. At this stage, he still needed the efforts of these Fuyu people. If their performance on the battlefield was not satisfactory, he would really have to consider the feasibility of completely destroying Fuyu.
The Northern Huns were able to use the miscellaneous Hu people as fighting force, and the Han Dynasty could do the same.
Moreover, the one they were fighting against was Goryeo. In the entire Eurasian continent, only the Han Dynasty and the Northern Xiongnu had innate suppression over the mixed Hu people. In their eyes, Goryeo was at most a large tribe. They were afraid of it in their hearts, but not completely.
Especially after being commanded by Yan Rou and others, they felt that they had the support of the Han Dynasty, and their fear of Goryeo completely disappeared.
After all, no matter how powerful Goryeo was , it was just that powerful, completely different from the terror that had been accumulated over the years by the Han Dynasty.
