Chapter 465: Before the Decisive Battle
Zhen Yan returned to his military tent, walked around the tent with his hands behind his back.
"Head of the house!" A person shouted softly outside, Zhen Yan heard the voice, frowned, and said, "Come in!" ”
It was Zhen's servant who came, and when Zhen Yan saw him, he couldn't help but look outside nervously, and then asked, "How did you get in?" Have you met anyone else? ”
This person turned out to be sent by Zhen Yan to report to Ma Qiang before, and he arched his hand and said, "The villain came from Xiuxian County by detour, although some people checked it, but they were all sent by the villain." ”
Zhen Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat and asked, "But... Got a letter? ”
The man carefully picked out the gem set in the belt, twisted it open, and then took out a small note inside and handed it to Zhen Yan.
Zhen Yan opened it and found that it was full of dots, and hurriedly found a copy of the Morse code written by Ma Qiang that he treasured, and translated it against it, while the servant stood at the door and waited.
After a while, Zhen Yan finished translating, looked at the translated letters, his face changed greatly, he hesitated, stomped his feet and said, "The eldest husband should not eat Wuding, he should cook Wuding!"
After speaking, he muttered to himself, "In case the war in Qingzhou is unfavorable, this matter will not make Yuan Shao suspect me, but it will be fine." ”
After thinking about it, Zhen Yan went out to ask to see Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao heard that Zhen Yan asked to see him, thought for a while and said, "Let him come in!" ”
Zhen Yan came in and bowed to Yuan Shao, "The last general has seen Ming Gong!" ”
"There's no one around, there's no need to do this, nephew, what is the matter with you coming to me late at night?"
"The last will come for the decisive battle in three days."
"Oh? You name it! ”
Zhen Yan swallowed his saliva and said, "The last general knows that the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou are strong and strong, and the decisive battle in three days will definitely be a bitter battle."
Although there are many soldiers and horses in our army now, but most of them are soldiers of the noble clan from all over the country, and the military heart is not aligned, once our army is slightly setback, it is very easy for the army to be unstable, in case someone is timid and retreats, it will be a big deal! ”
Yuan Shao nodded and sighed, "What the virtuous nephew is worried about is the same as what I think, so what should I do?" ”
"Therefore, Ming Gong should gather and disrupt the soldiers and horses in these three days, and reorganize them!"
This feeling is good, and in this way, these soldiers and horses will no longer be private soldiers of all ethnic groups.
But Yuan Shao was worried and said, "I'm afraid that everyone is unwilling." ”
"The law in the army is like a mountain, how can there be no reason to be unwilling, the last general is willing to sacrifice all the clan soldiers, and the general will split and dispatch!"
Yuan Shao said happily, "The virtuous nephew is so loyal, in the future, Jizhou will have a share of the Zhen family, I heard that your five daughters of the Zhen family are all virtuous and virtuous, I have three sons, and they are also considered heroic, after this matter, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Zhen Yan responded with a look of great joy, Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, and immediately called Fu Zhu and others, preparing to start reorganizing tomorrow.
As soon as he heard Yuan Shao's thoughts, his head became big.
It's naturally good to be reorganized into one, but you also have to look at the time, the decisive battle is about to begin, and your reorganization at this time is not to make the army's morale turbulent.
"Ming Gong! This matter must not be, the war is imminent, this matter is reorganized, it will only make people's hearts disturbed, such as Ming Gong is worried that there are people in the clan who are not good at fighting formations, and they can send the army to be the deputy general! ”
Yuan Shao was unhappy when he saw that he was frustrated, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart.
"This is frustrated as a member of the Hebei Shi clan, he is so unwilling, could it be selfish?"
Yuan Shao remembered that he had a relationship with Ma Qiang, and heard that Ma Qiang wanted to recruit him as a minister, if he was defeated, as long as he had a soldier in his hand and switched to Ma Qiang, I am afraid that he would be promoted to a higher level!
Yuan Shao himself is a son of the Shi clan, and he knows the urine of the Shi clan best, don't look at the way they shout one by one to fight to the death with Ma Qiang, the knife is really on the neck, as long as they can continue to be an official and continue the family, not to mention Ma Qiang, there is no problem for them to bow down to Fu Luo.
The more Yuan Shao thought about it, the more uneasy he became, and he clapped on the spot and said, "This matter is settled!" Since Mr. Fu is unwilling, this matter will be handed over to you Ziyuan! ”
Xu Yu responded with great joy: "Ming Gong is wise!" This move will surely unite our army! ”
After speaking, Xu You also smiled and glanced at Fu Zhi and Tian Feng on the side.
Tian Feng couldn't look down on Xu You's villain's ambition the most, and came out and said, "Ming Gong's move will only reduce the combat strength of our army, whoever proposes this proposal should be beheaded!" ”
When Yuan Shao heard this, he smiled angrily, okay, Zhen Yan asked you to hand over the soldiers and horses to me Yuan Shao, and he should be beheaded, this is my scheduled in-laws!
"Tian Feng! You're so presumptuous, I've already made up my mind, step down! ”
Tian Feng persuaded again: "Ming Gong! This move will lead to a great defeat for our army, no! ”
Yuan Shaodu is going crazy, this is in the army, I have already made a decision, you are still chattering here, how can I still march the order?
"Someone! Pull Tian Feng down for me!! ”
At that moment, a sergeant pulled down Tian Feng, who was still shouting that our army was going to be defeated, and Yuan Shao, who was angry, sat there trembling.
Tian Feng shouted like this, and when it spread, I don't know what will become of the army's heart.
This horseman, if it weren't for his loyalty to himself, Lao Tzu would have killed you!
Tian Feng is like this, and the others don't dare to speak, in the next three days, Yuan Shaojun is called a chaos, Xu You wasted his old nose strength, and only then did he redistribute and adjust the soldiers and horses before the decisive battle.
On the day of the decisive battle, the sky was blue and the clouds were light, and more than ten pontoon bridges connected together had been built on the Qingshui River, with a width of forty or fifty meters, which was enough for the army to enter and exit quickly.
Yuan Shao got up early in the morning and asked people to prepare for bathing and changing, and when the waiter took out the soap and was about to clean him, he said angrily, "Why is there such a thing?" How dare you disobey my orders! ”
The waiter was so frightened that the soap in his hand fell, and he fell to his knees with a pop, trembling, and said for a long time, "If there is no such thing... I'm afraid of inconvenience in bathing. ”
"Nonsense! Could it be that without Ma Qiang, I can't even bathe? You clearly deliberately violated my military orders! Come on, pull down and behead the public!! ”
These waiters were brought by Yuan Shao from the family, many of them are still domestic slaves, and their ancestors have been slaves to the Yuan family for hundreds of years, so they dare to speak in front of Yuan Shao, and several people knelt on the ground and pleaded, "Ming Gong is angry, although he is guilty of killing this day, he is also loyal, and he has served Ming Gong for many years, and I ask Ming Gong to forgive me!" ”
Yuan Shao thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Pull it down, put it in prison, and when I take Ma Qiang's head, I will send you again!" ”
Yuan Shao lost his temper like this, naturally no one dared to give him soap, but brought pig pancreas, because no one has used this thing for a long time, and suddenly it is natural to find the pancreas with osmanthus and roses, but the poor man's version of the original pig pancreas, Yuan Shao frowned, and forcibly did not apply to this thing to wash his body, but he couldn't bear to wash his hair, although this thing has been detached from the blood, but it still has a strong taste, otherwise there is no need to add various spices, and finally Yuan Shao chose to take rice water to shampoo his hair, and he made do with it.
When Yuan Shao finished hanging up, the sergeants of each battalion were also ready to go, Yuan Shao left Zhao Rong's troops, who had suffered a lot of casualties before, to stay in the camp, and the rest of the soldiers and horses went out to line up on the mounds piled up in the past few days in the west of the boundary river.
I have to say that more people is more power, in the past three days, Yuan Shao has built up eight huge mounds, these mounds are eight or nine meters high, like a small mountain, and hundreds of archers and armor soldiers have gathered on each mound.
It's quite spectacular!
