Chapter 48 Two, fierce generals out of the rivers and lakes

After Dou Gu took Che Shiguo, he immediately sent a report to Luoyang, requesting the restoration of the Western Regions Protectorate.Soon, Dou Gu's report was approved.Liu Zhuang appointed the new guardian of the Western Regions, as well as Wu and Ji two school lieutenants. The three newly appointed people are all unfamiliar faces.The guard's name is Chen Mu, and Geng Gong is Wu Xiaowei, who is stationed in Jinpu City, which belongs to the queen king of the car division. . After Dou Gu finished his work, he was called back to Luoyang by Liu Zhuang in the spring of the second year.However, he never expected that when the Han army retreated, a nightmare would sweep over.

The creator of the nightmare is the Northern Huns that Dou Gu dreamed of flattening.Dou Gu had just left the Western Regions, and the Northern Xiongnu Shanyu had entered Che Shi Kingdom.The first person he greeted was Geng Gong, the captain of Che Shi Hou Guowu. We know that Geng Gong had only a few hundred soldiers, while the Northern Huns were so aggressive that they even led 20,000 cavalry. 20,000 cavalry, today, is 20,000 tanks.Many tanks are galloping across the desert. Unless a god is possessed or Huo Qubing is reborn, who can resist that kind of arrogance? Sure enough, after the Northern Huns attacked Cheshi Houguo, Geng Gong sent 300 soldiers to support them.Soon, the three hundred soldiers of the Han army and the queen of the car division were all reduced to cannon fodder.The cavalry demons of the Northern Huns generally descended outside Jinpu City (now south of Jimsar County, Xinjiang), the capital of Cheshi Kingdom.

At this time, Geng Gong appeared on Jinpu City.Time quickly proved that this person in front of him was the real troublemaker of the Northern Huns. Geng Gong, courtesy name Bozong, and Geng Bing are cousins, and they have an uncle together, named Geng Yan. As long as a big family in China takes root in a certain industry, it will develop and expand its industrial chain.Merchants produce business masters, civil servants produce great talents for governing the world, and military generals produce fierce enemies.The Geng family was born as a military general, and the three generations have continued to be incensed, and fierce men have emerged in large numbers. It can be said that the blue is better than the blue.However, there is an exception to everything.Ban Chao came from a civil servant's family, abandoned his pen and joined the army, and made contributions thousands of miles away. This kind of alternative domineering move is beyond the reach of others.

The world is so big, anyone who thinks of killing enemies in the Western Regions and doing meritorious service is born to be a king of war.Like Geng Bing, Geng Gong is also a restless kind.He is ambitious and resourceful, and some people commented that this guy is born to be a general. What is the talent of a general?That is to say, Mount Tai collapses in front without changing its color, prevents the building from falling, and saves the country from the fire and water.It didn't take long for the northern Huns to appreciate Geng Gong's fierce effect. Geng Gong brought out the deadly weapon against the cavalry - the crossbow.We know that the powerful crossbow is powerful and has an accurate range, which is equivalent to modern armor-piercing bullets.As long as you are shot, it doesn't matter what type of tank you have, it will all be paralyzed.

In order to strengthen the power of the crossbow, Geng Gong also made some technical improvements.The process is very simple, that is, to apply poison to the arrow. Then, Geng Gong sent someone to pass a message to the Northern Huns under the city: You have to listen carefully, people have eyes, but the arrows of the Han Dynasty did not have eyes.Anyone who is shot by the arrow will be seriously injured if he does not die, wait for the body to be collected. The Northern Xiongnu seemed to understand that Geng Gong was so calm while occupying the city with weak force. It turned out that he possessed the frightening heavy weapons.

Of course, the Northern Huns would not scare away just because of Geng Gong's two words.Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty never gave up the idea of ​​letting them drink the northwest wind for a long time.I finally got a chance to take revenge today, and I definitely won't leave just like that. Well, stop talking nonsense and start fighting. One day, the Northern Huns clamored under the city, preparing to attack the city.However, the killing sounds of the northern Huns turned into screams in an instant, and the mournful voices were like howling ghosts and wolves, which was extremely terrifying.What exactly is going on?

The answer is as follows: It's all caused by strong crossbows. The Northern Xiongnu discovered that Geng Gong's Han family's magic arrow was not blown.No matter if it was a man or a horse, the muscles of those who were shot by the crossbow seemed to be violently torn apart, the mouth of blood was open, and the wound festered immediately.As a result, Geng Gong launched his crossbows one after another on the city, and the Northern Huns neighed under the city, making a mess. Even more terrifying is yet to come.At this time, a strong wind suddenly blew, yellow sand filled the sky, and the sky was gray and black.Immediately afterwards, strong winds and heavy rain came to join in the fun.The sky is not helping, the land is not good, and the people are not harmonious, and the Northern Huns are all involved.

At this time, Geng Gong left the city. Geng Gong was like a magic soldier attacking in the rain, he let go of his hands and feet, and slashed desperately.The one with the few people who kills the one with the most people is called one cut one accurate.The Northern Huns finally couldn't stand it anymore after this burst of arrows and knives.They made an emergency U-turn and fled. However, this is only the second round. Geng Gong knew that after the Northern Huns escaped for their lives, they would come back as long as they rested.But Geng Gong also believed that sticking to Jinpu City was not a way to retreat from the enemy.If you want to wrestle with the Northern Huns for a long time, you must move your troops.

Where are you going?Geng Gong had already thought of a place.Its name is Shule City. It is necessary to emphasize that there is a country in the Western Regions called Shule Kingdom.But Shule City is not Shule Kingdom, Shule City is within the territory of Cheshihou Kingdom, and it is far away from Shule Kingdom.The two are separated by the Tianshan Mountains and the Taklamakan Desert. The reason why Geng Gong chose Shule City as the place to garrison troops was because there was an extremely precious thing here.In the desolate Western Regions, there is nothing more precious than water.There is a stream passing by under Shule City, a natural moat.Water can quench your thirst, and it can also slightly stop the cavalry's attack, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

In summer, in May, Geng Gong arrived in Shule City.As expected, two months later, the Northern Huns came to look for food again. Now that you're here, let's fight.The northern Huns did not expect that after Geng Gong arrived in Shule City, he had already recruited thousands of people in the city.When the northern Huns approached the city, Geng Gong let his horse out of the city and attacked directly. In this battle, the Northern Huns were defeated again and fled separately.After two failures and lessons, the Northern Huns discovered that if they wanted to deal with fierce people like Geng Gong, beating more people and beating fewer people was not the solution to the problem at all.There is only one way, which is to outsmart.

The big brother in Hong Kong gangster-themed movies often sighs that those who came out to mess around in the past were all beating and killing;No matter when, it is better to use more brains than to use more hands and feet. Facts have proved that it is still useful to pat your head more when things happen.The Northern Huns scratched their heads, and soon found a good plan to deal with Geng Gong. Geng Gong thought that relying on the river outside the city, he would not be afraid even if he fought the Northern Huns to the end.The question is, if the Northern Huns blocked the river, what do you, Geng Gong, rely on to fight?Without water to eat, not to mention people, all cattle, horses and sheep will die. What a terrible military loophole this is.Unfortunately, the Northern Huns had already severely pinched Geng Gong's weakness. The northern Huns who were scattered by the Han army gathered at the upper reaches of the stream in Shule City to block the river.After finishing the interception project, all of them felt bad breath in their hearts.They had no reason to believe that without the river water, Geng Gong could survive this hot summer. Sure enough, the Northern Huns pinched Geng Gong's lifeline tightly.A few days later, Shule City began to lack water.At this time, the heavens were not beautiful, there was no rain, and the Han army could not find water to drink.Everyone wanted to dig a well, but they went through the well for a long time, but the mouth of the well was so deep that there was still no water. Now it's in big trouble. The hungry and thirsty soldiers piled up horse manure and squeezed water to quench their thirst.You know, in an era without Youlemei milk tea, Coke, and Sprite, what they drink is not horse manure juice, but perseverance and strength.In the vast land of the Western Regions, it is difficult for people to fight against heaven and earth.Is that really the case? Geng Gong couldn't help sighing up to the sky, and shouted: "I heard that the general of the second division in the past stabbed the mountain with his saber, and a flying spring gushed out; now the gods of Han De are so poor?" Geng Gong’s words mean that in the past, when Zhao Guangli, the general of the Second Division, conquered the Western Regions, when he was hungry and thirsty, he drew his sword and stabbed the mountain, and there were springs flowing out; Trapped in a desperate situation and unable to extricate yourself? No, the road is made, the water is dug out; the heart is the strongest place, as long as you have confidence, you will have hope.Thinking of this, Geng Gong trimmed his clothes, knelt down towards the deep well, bowed his head and prayed. Geng Gong's fear of death and desire for life deeply moved everyone.The generals and soldiers picked up the iron tools again, encouraged each other, and continued to dig soil towards the deep well. Not long after digging, a cry came from the well——water, there is water.Clear spring water gurgles out.When the first bucket of water was poured into the well, the officials and soldiers of the Han army shouted long live. There is no unparalleled road, and Geng Gong finally witnessed the miracle of life.After everyone quenched their thirst, Geng Gong sent someone to bring a few buckets of water to the city to splash.Geng Gong was showing it to the Northern Huns.He will tell the Huns that you cut off my water, but never my way.Hand God, you just recognize it. The Northern Huns really recognized it. When they saw the Han army cheering and splashing the splashing water off the wall, they were suddenly exhausted.God, this is a group of terrible people blessed by the gods.They looked at it for a while, but couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to withdraw their troops in desperation. Victory always belongs to the strong and unyielding people.Including Geng Gong, they probably thought their worst days were over.As long as they work hard, the future will belong to them. They are all wrong.The bad days are just over, and worse days are yet to come.Soon, a very bad news will severely destroy the dream of Geng Gong and others to rebuild the Western Regions.
