"Bei will never forget my brother's support for me!"
"Hey, it's just that after Xuande left, who should be in charge of this fat defense?"
Gongsun Zan didn't want Liu Bei to leave either, but he was very aware of Liu Bei's ambitions and kept him under his command. I'm afraid that sooner or later, he would want to replace him.
Without the three fierce generals Liu Guanzhang, Feiru would have to disperse a lot of his troops to defend against Xianbei and Wuhuan.
"Brother, Guorang is brave and resourceful. After Bei leaves, he can take my place."
"Oh?"
Gongsun Zan didn't expect that Liu Bei didn't intend to take Tian Yu away. He also knew Tian Yu's ability, and helped Liu Bei out of danger many times.
"Guorang's mother is in Yongnu. She is in poor health and cannot go to Yuzhou with me. I hope that my brother will treat me with courtesy. This person will definitely help my brother achieve great things."
"Okay, as you said, let Tian Yu be the governor of Liaoxi County, responsible for the defense of Liaoxi County."
Although it is impossible to keep Liu Guanzhang, it is also very good to get a general with both civil and military skills.
Liu Bei looked at Gongsun Zan with a look of surprise. He did not expect that Gongsun Zan would appoint Tian Yu as the county guard. He had helped Gongsun Zan defeat the Xianbei and Wuhuan invasions more than a dozen times, and he was just a riding captain.
Zhang Fei was full of displeasure. This Gongsun Zan is really a beast-like guy. If he knew this, he shouldn't have stayed in Youzhou.
"Let me go, I wish my brother take control of Youzhou as soon as possible!"
Gongsun Zan sent Liu Bei outside the city. Liu Bei said gratefully, "Brother, Cao Shuo led an army into Shanggu County and Dai County. I'm afraid there are other plans. You should take precautions early."
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
"Ah!"
Cao Shuo kept sneezing, while Du Miao asked with concern:
"Husband, it's raining today and the weather is slightly cold, so don't toss about on the ground."
"Some bastard must be criticizing me behind my back!"
"It's also possible that the wives miss their husbands?"
"Report! Gongsun Zan's envoy is asking to see you!"
Zhao Yu stood outside the door and shouted loudly.
I knew that someone must be criticizing me behind my back.
Cao Shuo put on his clothes in a dispirited manner, and came to the meeting hall, where he found Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xu Rong, Xu Chu, and Dian Wei were all there.
"My lower official Youzhou Governor Shi, Guan Jing, met the Hushi General!"
Cao Shuo asked displeasedly, "What are you doing here?"
"Thank you, General Cao, for helping me defend Youzhou against foreign enemies. My lord is very grateful, and specially ordered me to reward the soldiers of your army."
Guan Jing looked at Cao Shuo respectfully and carefully observed Cao Shuo's every move.
"Oh, you are very busy in Youzhou, and the supplies are left, so you go back quickly, I won't keep you for dinner."
Guan Jing's face turned extremely ugly instantly, this damn is too shameless, she chases people away when things are left behind, the tea is already cold before drinking.
"General Cao, my lord has one more request!"
Guan Jing suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and looked at Cao Shuo with a smile on his face.
"What's the matter?"
Cao Shuo yawned, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.
"The Xianbei and Wuhuan in Shanggu County and Dai County have been wiped out by your army. I hope that General Cao will withdraw from the two counties, so we can send someone to take them over."
Guan Jing has been observing the people in the hall, he wants to see what they mean from the eyes of the people.
"Wen Ruo, how many soldiers and horses have we lost in Shanggu County?"
Xun Yu replied: "In the battle of Ronggu in Shanggu County alone, our army suffered nearly 1 casualties. Although we wiped out more than [-] enemies, our army also paid a heavy price."
Guan Jing had a gloomy expression on his face, didn't he just want some benefits? He said it so seriously, as if you didn't get any benefits.
Xi Zhicai said: "We have sent nearly 2 troops in Shanggu County, and now there are only more than [-] people left. It can be said that we have hurt one thousand enemies and eight hundred! In the end, we turned out to be making wedding dresses for others."
Xun Yu said: "Daijun is the base of Wuhuan. General Xu Rong underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. He was besieged by the Wuhuan army and Xianbei army in Gaoliu. With [-] troops, only [-] remained."
"If the lord hadn't led the army to arrive in time, I'm afraid the [-] troops would have died in Gaoliu City."
"Damn it, please punish me, my lord!"
Xu Rong prostrated himself in front of Cao Shuo with a face full of self-blame.
Guan Jing rolled his eyes, Gao Liucheng was captured two days ago, and only then did he think of punishing him?
According to what they said, no less than 8 people were lost in Shanggu County and Dai County, which is more than the loss of the Eighteenth Route princes begging Dong.
"Xu Rong, as a surrendered general, you have failed my trust in you. I seriously suspect that you are a spy sent by Dong Zhuo. Someone will drag you out and chop you up!"
Xun Yu hurriedly persuaded: "My lord, you can't. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. General Xu Rong is also careless for a while. It's better to let him commit crimes and make meritorious deeds. If he makes mistakes again, he will be counted and punished."
"Hmph, Wuhuan is gone, Xianbei is gone, where is he going to make meritorious deeds!"
Chapter 110 New Account and Old Account Together
"The last general is willing to lead five thousand elite soldiers to attack You Beiping and make amends!"
Xu Rong knelt in front of Cao Shuo with a very sincere attitude.
"Attack You Beiping?"
Guan Jing wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and asked in horror, "Why did General Xu attack my Youzhou?"
Xu Rong explained: "Isn't there still Wuhuan Shanyu Tadun over there?"
"This……"
Guan Jing didn't think that Xu Rong was just going to destroy Wuhuan, what if he turned around and attacked their city.
Xun Yu said: "I think it's feasible, except for Youzhou where you can make meritorious service, other places are beyond reach!"
"Senior!" Xi Zhicai looked at Cao Shuo with a strange expression.
"Then..."
"and many more!"
Before Cao Shuo could continue, Guan Jing interrupted Cao Shuo.
"General Cao, Wuhuan in Youzhou has our own army to clean it up, don't bother General Cao and other generals."
"In this case, I've stayed in Shanggu County long enough, it's time to go back!"
Cao Shuo looked at Guan Jing meaningfully, which made Guan Jing feel terrified.
This Cao Shuo was finally going back, but he didn't know what request he would make.
"Gongsun Inspector Gongsun owed me food and grass, and this time I helped him pay off the losses of the bandits. Let me settle it together. I don't feel relieved when I am escorted by others."
Guan Jing was dumbfounded, why would Cao Shuo ask them for food and grass at this time?How could they have so much grain and grass for Cao Shuo, [-] or [-] shi, it's not yet the season of wheat harvest.
Just now he said that [-] to [-] people died in this battle, how many false heads are there?Do you have so many soldiers and horses in Jizhou?
"General Cao, my lord is sympathetic to the soldiers. My lord wants to condolences to the Jizhou army who died in battle."
Guan Jing's implication is that they want to count the number of people.
"We want to see the lord!"
"We want to see the lord!"
"We want to see the lord!"
……
"Report, a group of soldiers outside the tent are dissatisfied with the supply of the lord's medicinal materials, a mutiny broke out, and they want to attack the county guard's mansion!"
"what!"
Cao Shuo stood up abruptly and walked out quickly.
"My lord, you have to be the master for us!"
The streets outside the Sheriff's Mansion were full of soldiers, 3 to [-] people, all of them wrapped in bandages, some even leaning on crutches, and hundreds of seriously injured people sat in front of the Sheriff's Mansion, wailing incessantly.
Seeing this situation, Guan Jing wiped off a cold sweat. How much pension does this mother need?
Don't Cao Shuo's soldiers carry weapons on the battlefield?Why are so many soldiers and horses lost?
"Soldiers, listen to me, Youzhou Shepherd Gongsun Zan has no doubts about us at the moment, so let's wait here for a while. After the compensation supplies from Lord Gongsun arrive, I will definitely not treat my brothers badly."
"When will I wait, my wounds are festering!"
"If you don't distribute the medicinal materials, my calf that was just amputated will soon have my thigh amputated."
"The lord told us not to plunder the people of Youzhou. We have no money, no food, and no medicinal materials. What shall we do?"
Guan Jing looked confused, didn't Cao Shuo go out without logistics supplies?What kind of battle is he fighting?
Cao Shuo looked anxiously at Xun Yu who was beside him, and said, "Master, why don't we borrow some money from the people in Youzhou?"
"No!"
Guan Jing hurriedly stopped him, excuse me?It sounds good, if you don't give it at that time, will it become a robbery?
Cao Shuo said meaningfully: "When the army was first raised, I told them that Gongsun Zan would give us the food and grass that we owed, so I tricked them into coming here. If there is no food and grass supply, the consequences will be..."
"But, we really don't have that much food!" Guan Jing looked at Cao Shuo with a look of embarrassment.
"Hey, what should I do? These are just wounded soldiers. They are not strong in combat. They starve for a few days. If they starve to death, they will pay more pensions at most. But there are still [-] to [-] troops outside my city. If they have no food and grass , to looting, I can't stop it."
"I'll go back and report to Grand Administrator Gongsun right away, and I will definitely solve it as soon as possible. In addition, I would like to trouble General Cao to transfer some food, grass and medicinal materials from Jizhou to deal with emergencies."
Cao Shuo said softly: "It's too late to allocate food and grass, or I will move the camp to Guangyang? Guangyang is only a hundred miles away from Jixian County, and the soldiers can also receive compensation and food from General Gongsun as soon as possible."
"Don't do this!"
Guan Jing's clothes were drenched in cold sweat. If Cao Shuo moved his battalion to Guangyang County, if Cao Shuo turned his face and directly attacked the state capital, would they be able to resist it?
"Guan Changshi, go back as soon as possible, I will hold them back first, and let them trust me again!"
Guan Jing rushed all the way to Ji County.
Cao Shuo and all his subordinates burst out laughing seeing Guan Jing's distressed appearance.
"Xu Rong, order the soldiers to move the camp to the intersection of Shanggu County, Guangyang County, and Zhuo County!"
"promise!"
"Hmph, it's the most shameful thing to fail to pay back debts. First let Gongsun Zan improve his memory and set an example for other princes."
Xi Zhicai said: "Master, Danhan Mountain is very close, should we drive the Xianbei people out of Danhan Mountain!"
"Rushing will not let them have a long memory, we will destroy them!"
Xun Yu asked, "Has my lord already thought of a countermeasure?"
Cao Shuo explained: "Lu Bu in Bingzhou has not yet reached Yunzhong County, and now is not the time. When he stabilizes the situation in Bingzhou, we will directly lure the enemy into deep, lead the Xianbei people to Daijun, and attack Lu Bu back and forth to wipe out the enemy. their vitality."
It's not that Cao Shuo doesn't want to destroy them now, but that there are too many Xianbei cavalry, everyone is a soldier, and they are nomads with no fixed place to live. Even if they take Danhan Mountain, they may choose other places .
We must find ways to attract their main force and annihilate them in one fell swoop, so as to prevent future troubles forever.
But now he is not that strong. The battle between Dai County and Shanggu County caused him to lose nearly 3000 troops, and the Xuanjia Army lost nearly [-] people. If the fight continues, he will really use elite troops.
"My lord, will we give up the territory we finally won to Gongsun Zan?"
Xu Chu looked at Cao Shuo in puzzlement, these were all bought with the blood of the soldiers, how could he give in just as he said.
"Sometimes it may not be really good to get it!"
After Cao Shuo said something meaningful, he returned to the mansion. The soldiers outside the gate dispersed by themselves. The "seriously injured" soldiers who were squatting on the ground stood up in a dispirited manner, patted the dust off their bodies, and returned to the barracks.
Cao Shuo had ordered that in addition to his pension, he would also receive Gongsun Zan's pension. How much they could get would depend on how they performed.
"Husband, are we going to evacuate Shanggu County?"
Cao Shuo went back to the backyard and asked Du Miao to pack his bags. Du Miao looked at Cao Shuo puzzled, with a worried look on his face.
"Well, this is not my territory after all!"
