Gongsun Xu handed the White Dragon Potian Lance in his hand to the guards on the side of the martial arts stage, and then wiped off the sweat left on his body, his sword eyebrows were raised slightly, showing a heroic spirit.
At this time, a guard came to Gongsun Xu and whispered to Gongsun Xu: "General, Xi Zong is here, saying that he has something to ask to see the general."
"Xi Chao?" Gongsun Xu raised his eyebrows: "What is he doing here?"
A few days ago, Gongsun Xu got in touch with Xi Chao through Bao Zheng, and he had already successfully recruited Xi Chao. At that time, Gongsun Xu worshiped Xi Chao as the mansion of General Xiaoqi, and his position in the mansion of General Xiaoqi was only that of Changsun. Under no taboo.
However, although Xi Chao has been worshiped by Gongsun Xu, due to the many affairs in Youzhou now, Gongsun Xu handed over all the daily affairs to Changsun Wuji and Xi Chao.As for Gongsun Xu, he saved time to practice martial arts and train newly recruited soldiers.
Due to the continuous wars in the Central Plains in the past two years, and because Youzhou was pacified by Gongsun Xu and governed by Zong Ze, Changsun Sheng and others, there was no war. Even if there were rebels, Gongsun Xu sent people to exterminate them.Therefore, apart from always facing the threat from Hu people such as Karasuma and Xianbei in northern Xinjiang, Youzhou can be regarded as safe.
Therefore, in the past two years, many people from the Central Plains fled to Youzhou, and under the instruction of Gongsun Xu, Zong Ze and others took over all of these people who had fled.
Youzhou can be regarded as a vast land and sparsely populated, so how could Gongsun Xu let go of such an opportunity to greatly increase the population under his rule?Under such a policy, the population of Youzhou has increased dramatically in the past two years.
But Youzhou belongs to the border after all, even if the population increases, it cannot be compared with a big state like Jizhou. Therefore, Gongsun continued to attack Jizhou not only to avenge Gongsun Zan, but also for development.
If Gongsun Xu occupied only Youzhou, then Gongsun Xu would never have the qualifications to fight for world hegemony. After all, Youzhou is already prosperous under Gongsun Xu's governance.However, the population base of Youzhou still has a large gap compared with Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Xuzhou.
As for what wars are compared to, besides the strength of the army, there are also logistics and population.And if Gongsun Xu and Yuan Shao are both injured, then Yuan Shao can quickly replenish his troops.To restore strength, but Gongsun Xu couldn't do this, because the population of Youzhou was too small.
Moreover, all the soldiers and horses in Youzhou cannot be dispatched, at least more than 1 people must be left in Youzhou to guard against the Karasuma, Xianbei and other tribes in the northern border.And Yuan Shao now even occupies Jizhou and Qingzhou, and the population under his jurisdiction has further increased.
If Yuan Shao continues to develop in this way, Gongsun Xu is worried that even if he has a golden finger like the summoning system, he will not be able to resist Yuan Shao's offensive. If he keeps defending Youzhou, he may end up swallowed by Yuan Shao.
Therefore, in order to avoid such a thing from happening, Gongsun Xu felt that for a short period of time, he recruited another 2 troops on the basis of Youzhou's original strength, so that the total strength of Youzhou could eventually reach 10, and it was an elite army of [-]. .Because Youzhou is close to northern Xinjiang, it has been harassed by barbarians all the year round, so the folk customs are tough, and it only needs a little training to be an elite team.Moreover, in order to make this newly recruited army have combat effectiveness, Gongsun Xu also specially transferred Li Chengliang back.
Gongsun Xu did this to take Jizhou down before Yuan Shao attacked Youzhou with all his troops. Only when he mastered Jizhou could Gongsun Xu have the qualification to point his sword at the world.
So in order to achieve this goal, Gongsun Xu will not be able to take care of it even if he is aggressive now. As long as he can take down Jizhou, everything he has now can be made up for in the future. And I know it.
And the newly recruited [-] recruits have initially acquired a certain combat effectiveness under Li Chengliang's training and Gongsun Xu's encouragement from time to time. Although they are not as good as the elite, they can become elite as long as they go through a battle. And there will never be a lack of opportunities to fight like this in Youzhou.
Gongsun Xu decided to let Li Chengliang take [-] recruits to the grassland to train soldiers in the near future. Although this method will cause a lot of damage, it is also the fastest way to make these recruits quickly gain combat effectiveness.
When Gongsun Xu changed his clothes and appeared in his study, Gongsun Xu found that Xi Chao was already in the study.
Gongsun Xu immediately said: "Let Xishi wait for a long time."
Xi Chao didn't dare to be negligent, and saluted Gongsun Xu: "Xi Chao has seen the general."
Gongsun Xu sat down in his seat and motioned for Xi Chao to sit down too.
Since Gongsun Xu's soul comes from modern times, Gongsun Xu has never been used to kneeling and sitting. Therefore, for his own convenience, Gongsun Xu invented the chair. Anyway, chairs have no technical content.So after Gongsun Xu drew a drawing and provided a concept, the craftsman from Youzhou made the chair for Gongsun Xu.
And after the chair was made, unless there were some particularly important occasions, Gongsun Xu no longer sat on his knees, but sat on the chair for the rest of the time.
Gongsun Xu has done this all the time, and the chair is easy to sit on. The comfort of sitting and kneeling are completely one heaven and one underground.So this chair quickly became popular in Youzhou, and even Xi Chao fell in love with the chair not long after he came to Youzhou.
After Xi Chao sat down, Gongsun Xu asked, "Why did Xi come to see me?"
Xi Chao nodded, took out a piece of cloth from his bosom and handed it to Gongsun Xu.When Xi Chao took out the cloth, Gongsun Xu recognized that it was the special cloth used by Ming Jing to convey important information.
Although Cai Lun invented papermaking technology in the Western Han Dynasty, the quality of paper produced by this papermaking technology was not very good due to various reasons, and the handwriting was not easy to preserve.Therefore, Der Spiegel used paper to convey general information, but if it was important information, it would use this kind of cloth with Der Spiegel's special mark.
Since Ling Jing and Di Renjie, the two leaders of Mingjing, are not in Youzhou now, Ling Jing went to Chang'an to inquire about the news due to the change in Chang'an, and Di Renjie followed Yue Fei to attack Jizhou.So Gongsun Xu handed over the affairs of Mingjing to Xi Chao.
However, Xi Chao did not interfere with the daily operation of Der Spiegel, but was in charge of summarizing the news from Der Spiegel and forwarding the information to Gongsun Xu.After all, Xi Chao is currently working in the Xiaoqi General's Mansion, and does not belong to the same department as Ming Jing. Although he has Gongsun Xu's permission, Xi Chao still has not done anything beyond.If Xi Chao took over Ming Jing's affairs on the basis of Gongsun Xu's order, he would offend Ling Jing and Di Renjie, because Gongsun Xu had made it clear to Xi Chao that he would not be allowed to enter Ming Jing.
Under such a premise, Xi Chao would naturally not do anything that he shouldn't do.
After Gongsun Xu took the cloth from Xi Chao, he didn't open it immediately, but looked at Xi Chao and asked, "Where is this news?"
There are only two people in the mirror who have the right to use this cloth to deliver news, one is Ling Jing, and the other is Di Renjie, so the news either comes from Chang'an or Jizhou.
Xi Chao said, "It's the news from Commander Ling Jing of Chang'an himself."
Looking at Xi Chao's expression, Gongsun Xu knew that the news was not simple. Since Ling Jing sent it, could it be that something happened to Chang'an?
With curiosity, Gongsun Xu opened the news that Ling Jing had sent to Youzhou urgently. After reading the news, Gongsun Xu fell into silence and said nothing, while the hand holding Bubo tightly It shows that Gongsun Xu's heart is not at peace.
Unexpectedly, in this short period of one month, so many things happened in Chang'an City, and even the new emperor became the throne.On the contrary, Li Yuan's behavior was somewhat beyond Gongsun Xu's expectation.
The news that Ling Jing sent to Gongsun Xu directly shocked Gongsun Xu.
Chapter 286 I'm Going To Be Pregnant
After a long time, Gongsun Xu said to Xi Chao: "I know about this, you go down first!"
Xi Chao's expression remained unchanged, he bowed to Gongsun Xu and then left from Gongsun Xu's study.He knew the information from the mirror, and he also knew how shocking the information was.Although they had thought about this situation a long time ago, Gongsun Xu still needed some time to digest it when it really happened.
Now Xi Chao hopes that Gongsun Xu can respond to the changes in Chang'an City as soon as possible, because if this situation continues, it will be very unfavorable for Gongsun Xu and the entire Youzhou.
In such a situation, although it is not that Xi Chao has no way to deal with it, does Xi Chao understand that the owner of Youzhou is Gongsun Xu, and such a matter must be decided by Gongsun Xu, not him, Xi Chao.
However, when Xi Chao walked out of Gongsun Xu's study room, he found that a housekeeper from Gongsun Xu's mansion walked quickly to Gongsun Xu's study room, and respectfully called out to Gongsun Xu inside, "General."
I don't know if it was influenced by Gongsun Zan, even at home, Gongsun Xu likes to let the maids and servants in the house call him a general.
Hearing the voice of the housekeeper outside the door, Gongsun Xu just recovered from the news, and said to the housekeeper: "Uncle Leng, what's the matter?"
This housekeeper was named Gongsun Leng, an old man who had followed Gongsun Zan for many years, and was also loyal to Gongsun Xu, so Gongsun Xu knew him very well, and after Gongsun Zan died in battle, Gongsun Xu still let Gongsun Leng be the housekeeper of the general's mansion.It turned out that Gongsun Leng's name was not Gongsun Leng, but another name. He was originally Gongsun Zan's subordinate. Later, because he was seriously injured on the battlefield, although he saved his life, he was unable to go to the battlefield again.After that, he became a housekeeper in Gongsun Zan's house, and Gongsun Zan even changed his current name. As for Gongsun Leng's original name, no one knows.
According to Gongsun Xu's understanding of Gongsun Leng, this Gongsun Leng is a very disciplined person, and because Gongsun Xu often discusses affairs with the civil servants and generals under his command in the study, people in Gongsun Xu's mansion rarely come here. Outside of the study, let alone Gongsun Leng, the old man of the Gongsun family.
If there were no important matters, Gongsun Leng would never have come to the study at this time.
Gongsun Leng said outside the door: "General, madam suddenly fainted. The old madam asked me to call the general back."
"What?" Gongsun Xu was startled, stood up abruptly and said, "Wugou fainted? What's going on?"
The wife Gongsun Leng said was Gongsun Xu's wife Changsun Wugou who just married this year, and the old lady was Gongsun Xu's mother and Gongsun Zan's wife Hou Shi.Now when he heard Gongsun Leng say that the eldest grandson Wugou had fainted suddenly, Gongsun Xu was naturally anxious.
Gongsun Xu rushed out of the study while he was talking, and came to Gongsun Leng. The speed surprised Gongsun Leng. It seems that the general's martial arts has improved again. If this continues, the general may reach the level of the old general. strength.
But even though he was thinking about this in his heart, Gongsun Leng said respectfully to Gongsun Xu: "General, Madam fainted suddenly while walking around in the yard today."
Gongsun Xu said eagerly: "Then what are you waiting for? Lead the way."
Gongsun Xu and Changsun Wugou have been married for several months, and they have a very good relationship with each other. Now that they heard that Changsun Wugou fainted suddenly, they are very anxious.
Seeing that Gongsun Xu looked anxious, Gongsun Leng immediately led Gongsun Xu to the backyard of the general's mansion, but Gongsun Leng was a bit old after all, and Gongsun Xu was very anxious, so he was on the way. Gongsun Xu surpassed Gongsun Leng and walked straight to the backyard, leaving Gongsun Leng behind.
When Gongsun Xu walked to the backyard of General Xiaoqi's Mansion, he found that there were already many people gathered in Changsun Wugou's room, and one of them was the servant girl who was jumping around in a hurry. It was Changsun Wugou's dowry The servant girl, Jin'er.
However, Gongsun Xu didn't care about that Jin'er. Although this dowry maid is actually the housekeeper, she will be accepted by Gongsun Xu sooner or later. Even if Gongsun Xu is unwilling, since Gongsun Xu is reborn in this era, he must obey Some unspoken rules of this era.
Gongsun Xu walked up to a middle-aged woman and respectfully said, "Mother!"
