Chapter 187: Rumors Spread


In the summer and autumn of 196 AD, the Yuan clan of Jizhou and the Gongsun clan of Youzhou launched a fierce battle, and the situation was even more unpredictable.

First, Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zhan's 100,000 army in Wuhuan, besieged the general Gongsun Zhan in Yicheng, and defeated Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army reinforcements, almost forcing Gongsun Zhan to a dead end; Then Gongsun Bai led the Liaodong Army and the Black Mountain Army to break the siege of Yicheng, forcing Yuan Shao to retreat to Yan County, and then the situation changed dramatically, Gongsun Zhan, the lord of Youzhou, was attacked and killed at the head of the city, and then Gongsun Bai created the illusion of attacking Yan County, inducing Yuan Shao to send Wen Chou to lead the army to attack the city, and then the army retreated halfway, and unexpectedly defeated Wen Chou's 80,000 army.

This battle was in full swing, and finally ended with the death of Gongsun Chan and the loss of Yuan Shao's 150,000 army.

At this time, Yuan Shao only had an army of 80,000 and deployed defenses along Yishui to prevent Gongsun Bai from moving south; Although Gongsun Bai had many but not good Black Mountain troops, Zhang Yan still led the army back to Montenegro, and although Gongsun captured nearly 30,000 people and horses of Yuan's army, only more than 10,000 people were selected from them, and the rest were all organized into Tuntian soldiers, plus the original troops, the battleable soldiers were only 40,000 horses.

Although Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses were twice as large as Gongsun Bai, he was self-aware, knowing that although Gongsun Bai's soldiers were few but fine, and his armor and equipment were stronger than him, coupled with the white horse righteous servants who made the Hebei army frightened, he could only defend Yishui to protect himself and prevent Gongsun Bai from going south.

What's more, he is waiting for reinforcements from Bingzhou and Qingzhou.

He appointed his eldest son Yuan Tan as the assassin of the state and the third son Yuan Shang as the assassin of Qingzhou, and now he has passed the word that the two sons each led a large army to converge, and then concentrated the superior forces to launch a fatal blow to Gongsun Bai.

And Gongsun Bai at this time.

There is no way to attack south for the time being, one of which is that he has just taken over Gongsun Zhan's territory.

The need to stabilize the situation; The second is waiting for the grain and grass to be transported from Liaodong and Liaoxi, and the 100,000 Montenegrin army took away a lot of grain and grass from Gongsun Bai. 10,000 new recruits and 20,000 tuntian soldiers were added, all of whom had to eat.

Although he was eager to immediately raise troops to the south to conquer Yuan Shao, it was really not appropriate to move troops before the grain and grass arrived.

As a result, the two armies were separated by water, and no one dared to take the initiative to send troops to fight across the water.

Just when Gongsun Bai and Yuan Shao were deadlocked on both sides of Yishui, there was an undercurrent surging in Yicheng.

Yicheng, the back garden of the Hou Mansion.

Thousand chrysanthemums bloom, purple and red.

In a pavilion, Gongsun Bai is playing against Guo Jia for wine.

Gongsun Bai doesn't like chrysanthemums, and every time he hears someone talk about appreciating chrysanthemums, he feels a tightness in the back of his buttocks.

However, due to the complicated situation in Yicheng, he did not take his wife and concubine over, and he was bored in the mansion, only having the fun of playing chess with Guo Jia.

However, his state today is not good, he lost seven games in a row, and at this moment Guo Jia saw that he was about to kill a big dragon he raised again. looked very proud, while slowly tasting the wine, while teasing Gongsun Bai.

Gongsun Bai looked at his lowly virtue and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in his heart.

Suddenly asked: "I heard that you have recently been stained with Wushisan, do you not want to die?"

Guo Jia looked stunned, and then said embarrassedly: "Lord."

I'll talk about this later, first."

Gongsun Bai stretched out his hand and pushed the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Pointing at him and scolding: "I'll mention it later, until you are about to die."

Lao Tzu will wait for you to treat you later."

Guo Jia pretended to be bitter and said: "Lord, it seems that I won this game" Gongsun Bai snorted coldly and said: "Lao Tzu has already arrested all the Wushisan sold in the city, if you dare to touch Wushisan again, even you will be arrested, and you will be locked up for half a year to detoxify." ” "Lord, Lord" While he was talking, Yan Ba, the leader of Gongsun Bai's personal guards, hurriedly rushed over, and shouted from afar.

"What's the alarm," Gongsun Bai asked in a deep voice.

"Only the soldiers came to report, and now there are many rumors in the city about the unfavorable lord."

Yan Ba said breathlessly.

"What rumors," Gongsun Bai asked.

"I don't dare to say this."

Yan Ba's face was embarrassed.

"It doesn't hurt to be out, though."

Gongsun Bai said impatiently.

"Then the lowly position will be blunt.

Now there are rumors of slander against the lord in the city, some people say that the lord has immortal arts, but in order to monopolize Youzhou and see death, he sees death and does not save him, watching Yi Hou die, just like killing his father, and some people say that Gongsun Qing is just a ghost for the dead, and the real behind-the-scenes instigator is actually the lord."

"What" Gongsun Bai was furious, and rose up, his whole body trembling with anger.

"The Lord is angry, this matter has a great impact, and it must be considered in the long run."

Guo Jia hurriedly persuaded.

Gongsun Bai asked in a deep voice: "How to eliminate the rumors that are unfavorable to Benhou" Guo Jia smiled and said: "The lord is the lord of Youzhou, how dare ordinary people make up this rumor, this must be deliberately spread by those with ill intentions, and the general rumors are nothing more than spreading nursery rhymes, or deliberately bewitching the public in wine shops and restaurants, and disturbing the public."

Now, according to General Yan's words, it must be the latter one.

For the way of the soldiers, it is necessary to use both yang and conspiracy, and the lord has always been good at yang conspiracy and rarely uses conspiracy, so this deficiency should be supplemented.

Now that there are conspiracy behind the plot of ill-intentioned people, why not set up a spy team to collect intelligence for the lord, find out the news, and eliminate the hidden enemies, which may be of great benefit to the lord in the future. ” spy Why didn't I think that even the founding party of later generations had an underground party, and this time Gongsun Chan died on top of spies, why can't I become a spy organization?

Gongsun Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted: "Chuan You flew over." ” Sima Youfei of the Taiping Army, who was originally a scout with Yan Ba, was not only proficient in the affairs of scouts, but also extremely clever and neat, and won the trust of Gongsun Bai.

After a while, Youfei came in a hurry.

Gongsun Bai explained Guo Jia's plan again, and then said with a smile: "The leader of this spy organization is still the position of the military commander, if you can achieve results, you can be promoted to the position of captain, the members are selected by you, the number is less than fifty, but it is better to lack than to abuse." ” You Fei thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up and asked, "Can you choose from the White Horse Righteousness?"

Gongsun Bai's face sank: "No." ” I'll go, you're really going to think about it.

Youfei's expression darkened: "Is it okay for Moyun to ride?"

Gongsun Bai smiled: "Half of them are selected in Moyun Cavalry, and half of them are selected in the Taiping Army. ” Youfei was overjoyed: "The last general will live up to his mission." ” Just about to leave, he suddenly bowed again: "Please also ask the lord to give the name of this organization." ” Gongsun Bai smiled: "Then it's called a big cat, with a big word, it is all domineering, cats, light and agile, can fly on the wall, land silently, can see at night, nine lives are not dead, just suitable for spies." ” Youfei was full of black lines on the spot, and he muttered for a long time: "Can you call it Black Panther Guard?"

the groove, the name of such a dirty slag.

Gongsun Bai looked disgusted, waved his hand and said, "Just according to your words, go ahead." ” Yicheng, Ximen Street, Xun Ji Noodle Shop.

The dough cakes at Xun Kee Noodle Shop are not only generous, but also soft and delicious, and small dishes of stews and salt are distributed, so business is particularly good, even in this troubled world, the seats in the shop are full.

In front of a desk in the left middle of the shop door, two middle-aged people dressed as merchants were munching on bread while chatting carefully, and from time to time they looked at a merchant at the door of the store, and the person looked at the street with a vigilant expression, looking like a thief.

Suddenly, the man at the door of the shop turned around and nodded to the two merchant-looking people in the shop.

"Alas, wronged, wronged," the man on the left suddenly patted the case, shook his head and sighed, immediately attracting the attention of the neighboring customers.

"Brother Li, what's the grievance?"

asked the man on the right with a puzzled face.

"I said that the former general died unjustly."

The merchant surnamed Li had a look of regret.

"No, has the Marquis of Ning Xiang avenged the former general?"

asked the man on the right puzzled.

"Hahaha" The merchant surnamed Li suddenly laughed, and the laughter further attracted the attention of the surroundings, and almost all the customers in the store pricked up their ears to listen.

"Why is Brother Li laughing?"

"Ningxiang Hou's immortal skills can treat the broken leg of his glamorous concubine as good as ever, and even the bad leg of Zhang Yan's wife in Montenegro who can't go to the ground for twenty years can be cured, why can't he save the injury of the former general Ning Xianghou is smart, look at it, this Wuhuan people, Xianbei people, Goguryeo people, Fuyu people, Gongsun Du, which one is not a hero in the world who gives Ningxiang Hou shoes, who can compare to Shangningxiang Hou haha" "You don't want to die" "I didn't say anything, I only said that Ningxianghou is a hero in the world, and Gongsun Qing is just a pawn and was called."

After the two finished speaking, they stood up again and threw a fist at the customers around them: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, take it seriously, and say goodbye."

The two hurried out the door, leaving only a full store full of customers talking.

Then the man at the door also left the shop and followed the two men in front of him, who glanced at each other, quickened their pace, and ran into an alley.

Hahaha Seeing that there was no one around, the three of them looked at each other and laughed, extremely proud.

"Brother Li plays it really vividly, and the younger brother admires it."

One of them flattered.

"Hehe, it's not bad if you're full of two, I'll take fifty percent of the one-thousand-dollar reward a day for the son, and fifty percent for each of the two of you, and everyone with wealth will send it together."

The man surnamed Li smirked.

Suddenly, his smile froze.

I don't know when, five or six people suddenly surrounded the front and back, all dressed in black, tall and murderous.

"Brothers, everyone goes out to ask for money, I won't say anything outside, and all the two thousand dollars we have on us will be handed over to your brothers to drink, and please raise your noble hands."

The one surnamed Li really deserved to be an old man, and without saying a word, he took off the burden on his shoulder, threw it on the ground and made a copper coin sound, and then motioned to the other two to run away together.

Who knows, the three of them just started, and they were immediately lifted up like eagles catching chickens.

"I want to run, we're waiting for you to have tea."
