Chapter Seventy-Five: Zhang Xiu's Four Great Generals

"My father-in-law often said that the Yuan family had such a disloyal and unfilial rebellion as Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway who went against the sky, and he only hated being in Hebei and could not clean up the house, which made the reputation of the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes ruined by Yuan Shu. Fortunately, General Pingkou did the right thing for the heavens, pacified the traitors and thieves for the imperial court, and also removed a disobedience for the Yuan family. Feeling the great virtue of the general, my lord decided to transport 300,000 grains and grass from Hebei thousands of miles away to solve the general's urgent needs! ”

In the end, it is the Yingchuan Xun clan who leads the world, and his words are clear-eyed, but he showed great sincerity and friendship at the beginning, leaving a good impression of Yuan Shao in the hearts of Zhang Xiujun and Wenwu, who were present.

When Zhang Xiu heard this humble remark, she had a good impression of Xun Chen. This person judged the situation and did not have any other emotions about himself because of his own policies, and he was indeed worthy of being a celebrity of the Xun family.

Xun Chen in history is not very famous. Compared with his brother Xun You, who is good at handling civil affairs, military affairs and overall planning, and his nephew Xun You, who is good at military strategy, the brilliance of this Xun celebrity is too bleak. In addition to persuading Han Fu, the assassin of Jizhou, to dedicate Jizhou to Yuan Shao in history, there is no way to find any place where he came out.

Yuan Shao's so-called eight strategists, Xun Chen is only at the bottom. The appearance rate is too low, it seems that the reason why he can become a great strategist is that Yuan Shao made up enough of his "four pillars and eight beams", won a lottery, and made up Xun Chen, who was born in a famous family.

But although Xun Chen is only a dispensable and even replaceable role on Yuan Shao's side, on Zhang Xiu's side, any celebrity with influence in several states is extremely high-profile.

Therefore, Yuan Shao did not send anyone else but sent Xun Chen to bring 300,000 grains and grass, which means very simply, that is, on the one hand, to show his Hebei Yuan Group's "ministers are like clouds" and "'grain and grass are like mountains"), and on the other hand, it is also a little flattered to Zhang Xiu. Look, the best strategist on your side is Yuan Chen. And even if it is his Chen County Yuan family, it only has the influence of one state. Others, such as Yuan Ruyin, who was also born in Chen County, were too shou He Kui, and even weaker than the Yuan family. Others, such as Chen Gong's generation, are even more counted, but they are from the county and county clans. Needless to say, Jia Xu and Han Song's generation are from cloth clothes, although they are a little resourceful and talented, but they can't afford to be called "celebrities"!

And the Yingchuan Xun clan behind Xun Chen is different. The scholars who were born in Yingchuan or studied in Yingchuan are the largest part of the scholars in the world, and their leader Xun is the uncrowned king of the scholars who moved Kyushu!

Although Zhang Xiu looked at Xun Chen when he opened his mouth, the rest of his eyes kept paying attention to the reaction of his subordinate Wenwu to Xun Chen.

"Zhang Xiu is not talented, thanks to the general. However, conquest of traitors and respect for the Han Emperor is what every Han courtier should do, and Zhang Xiu just did his duty. ”

Zhang Xiu's face was calm when she said this, without any other colors. It's just that the eyes of the full hall of civil and military people looking at Zhang Xiu are very strange. Do you know where you are staying to meet the foreign envoys? It is the Shouchun Palace built by Yuan Shu in violation of regulations! Where are you sitting now? Sitting on the 24k pure gold dragon chair that Yuan Shu built for himself!

The palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, has been burned by Dong Zhuo's fire, and all that remains is the ruins. The palace of Chang'an, the western capital, is in disrepair and dilapidated because it is rarely used and inhabited. Although it was repaired after the eastward migration, the temporary sewing and repairing can barely be seen. And this Shouchun Palace, in the past, Yuan Shu spent a lot of effort to build, scraped the land of the entire Huainan, and even embezzled the army's money and grain, and prepared to build a complete set of palace city, imperial city, inner city, and outer city according to the scale of Luoyang Palace. It's just that Yuan Shu's emperor dream was too short, and he just built the Temple of Heaven and Earth in the north and south, as well as the main hall and several side halls of the palace and a small part of the harem, and he was impatient to ascend the throne and become the emperor. The walls of the palace city have just been demolished and have not even been laid, and the inner and outer cities are still in Yuan Shu's planning drawings.

But even this kind of palace city, which can only be regarded as a complete infrastructure, is much better than the scale and grade of the Xudu palace that Cao Cao took out the money and grain from between his teeth to build. Therefore, the Shouchun Palace at this time is actually the first palace in the world!

Receiving foreign envoys in the first palace of the world is extremely high-grade. Especially when Zhang Xiu sat on the 24k pure gold inlaid dragon chair built by Yuan Shu with a huge amount of money, and said that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty without blushing, the civil and military forces in the hall were suddenly embarrassed.

Since he successfully mutiny with his wisdom and Cao Cao was defeated from Huainan with his strategy, Zhang Xiu naturally restored his prestige in the army. Not only because Zhang Xiu's long-term undetected forbearance attracted such scholars such as Han Song, Yuan Lian, Yan Xiang and other ministers to praise Zhang Xiu for having the style of a king, but also because Zhang Xiu's grasp of the timing of the mutiny, so that strategists such as Jia Xu and Chen Gong had to re-examine and evaluate Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's desire to win and defeat first when expelling Cao's army attracted the admiration of all the generals of Zhang Xiujun.

The first thing Zhang Xiu did when he regained his popularity was to re-establish his prestige and re-assign the power and responsibilities and move the position of his subordinate military forces.

First of all, the four generals were established.

The first general, Zhang Liao.

Whether Zhang Liao was in the Battle of Qiyang or the Battle of Shouchun, he undoubtedly contributed the most and made the most meritorious contributions, which is obvious to all. Whenever there is a big appointment, Zhang Xiu chooses Zhang Liao. For example, in the battle between Qiyang and Dongying Cao's army, it was necessary to choose a general who could command both foot and horse, and Zhang Xiu, a battlefield Xiaobai, was still uncommandable at that time, so Zhang Liao must be brought to command.

For example, in the final battle to pursue Cao Jun, it is necessary to choose a general who knows the military situation well to chase and kill. The general must distinguish whether the Cao army still has the strength and fighting spirit to fight a war, and whether he should devote himself to breaking the limited resistance of the Cao army? This is a very deep knowledge, Zhang Xiu thinks that he may not be able to distinguish between Zhang Liao and Zhang Liao, so he decided to stay and watch Chen Ce and Liao Hua besiege Cao Jun after the palace.

Zhang Liao did not disappoint Zhang Xiu once. Seeing that although Cao Jun turned back to resist, his ordnance and equipment and fighting spirit and physical strength could not keep up, Zhang Liao resolutely threw himself into the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which had been in a state of wear and tear and had not been replenished. In the end, although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry suffered great wear and tear again, it successfully defeated the last remaining psychological defense line in Cao Jun's heart, and in the end, it was a great success!

These abilities are by no means what ordinary good generals can have, and many of Zhang Xiujun's generals are not without self-knowledge, and they can see that Zhang Liao is much stronger than them, whether it is martial arts, equestrianism, or the art of war, they all have the demeanor of a general. In addition, Zhang Liao is modest, he has never been arrogant, and he is always a low-key person and a high-profile person. Therefore, Zhang Xiujun's civil and military affairs all recognized Zhang Liao's title as the first general.

The second general is Gao Shun, Gao Shun has never lost to Zhang Liao in terms of the art of war, and Gao Shun has even greater credit for the two battles than Zhang Liao. For example, in the first battle of Qiyang, when all other battles were lost, Gao Shu dared to listen to Jia Xu's suggestion, and immediately decided to kill the 100,000 Chinese army led by Cao Cao, plus a large number of Cao army elites killed and injured in Qiyang City, which slightly saved a little face from Zhang Xiu's defeat in this battle. The Battle of Shouchun was even more because the Northern Army led by him moved quickly, so that Xiahou Xuan's troops could not reach Shouchun Palace. In the end, when the Cao army in Nancheng was flanked, the casualties were also very heavy, and the casualties were minimal.

However, Gao Shun knew that his military exploits were big and small because of luck and Jia Xu's support, and he couldn't compare to Zhang Liao's hardships in killing the sea of corpses with one knife and one shot, so he also expressed his willingness to let Zhang Liao be the first general, and he was the same for two, three and four.

Zhang Xiu himself likes Gao Shun, a general who can be said to be close to perfection. Regardless of personality, martial arts and resourcefulness, and military strategy, it can be said that there is a first-class existence in this era, especially these factors that can be regarded as a good general as long as there is only one are gathered in one person, which can be described as perfect!

Fortunately, this near-perfect general avoided his untimely death in history, and now he is serving his own life!

……

The third general - Ji Ling, and the fourth general - Zhang Xun.

Truth be told, both of them are in this position mainly because of seniority and prestige. The Battle of Qiyang, Ji Ling's Department received Gao Shun's urgent information, but did not make the correct decision to immediately meet the breakthrough head-on, but avoided the Cao army's Xiying and retreated north. But it happened to fall into Cao Cao's arrangement, and the 60,000 Huainan army was ambushed, and most of them were lost!

On the night of the Shouchun mutiny, Cao's army broke through from the direction of Ji Ling's southern army, and only Ji Ling's army suffered the most losses that night......

In fact, this is not because of Ji Ling's ability, but because he is more unlucky.

During the battle of Qiyang, there was no such strategist as Jia Xu behind the moves, but I didn't expect that the ordinary Cao army in the southern city of Shouchun was more difficult to bite than in the northern city, so that I never thought that the Cao army would choose to break through from the south gate Ji Ling's city gate defense was weak, and Chen Lan, the general who followed the gate, was also unlucky, and was broken through by the Cao army, becoming the army with the worst record in the battle of Shouchun.

But having said that, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun still have a little bit of ability, and the ability to lead troops to fight in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, which is full of talents, is barely a first-class level. Otherwise, he would not have been entrusted with the important task by Yuan Shu to be the commander of the 300,000 Huainan Army! Moreover, Ji Ling is also a military general who can go through thirty rounds under Guan Yu's knife, and Ji Ling and Zhang Xun are both military generals who attach great importance to the way of loyalty and ministers, so they are also useful from a comprehensive level.

has not had any outstanding achievements, but Zhang Xiu still has not reduced his courtesy and respect for Ji Ling and Zhang Xun, the two veterans, and even the two of them are among the top generals of Zhang Xiujun. Ji Ling Zhang Xun, who believes in "receiving the grace of the king, will be repaid for death", has finally been willing to serve Zhang Xiu to death!
