Xun Chen bowed and saluted Yuan Tan and said, "Son, the person who went to the forward camp to investigate has returned." ”

"The result?" Yuan Tan had a faint bad premonition in his heart!

Xun Chen hesitated for a moment, he glanced at Yuan Tan, and wanted Yuan Tan to report the matter alone.

Yuan Tan smiled helplessly and said, "Let's say, there's nothing that can't be said now, isn't it just that tens of thousands of people were killed in battle?" We already know this, is there worse news than this? ”

Xun Chen nodded silently, and sighed: "The ears of the fallen soldiers were cut off by the Youzhou sergeant and put into a sack, I have ordered someone to bring them back, and..."

Looking at Xun Chen's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yuan Tan's heart suddenly tightened, and he frowned and asked, "And what, if you have something to say, don't swallow it!" ”

Xun Chen sighed and said, "Han Bao ordered the soldiers to burn the corpses of the fallen soldiers. ”

"What!"

"How can it be!"

"Han Thief An dares to be so rampant!"

"The last general will ask for battle, and the head of the Korean thief will be beheaded and dedicated to the tent."

Everyone in the tent showed angry expressions and began to shout.

Yuan Tan frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Shut up for me!" ”

As soon as Yuan Tan's words fell, the tent immediately fell silent.

This time he went north to base the enemy, and Yuan Shao equipped his eldest son with very capable advisers and generals!

Yuan Tan stroked his forehead and said with a depressed face: "Youruo (Xun Chen), Zhengnan (trial), Jun Yi (Zhang He), Lu Xiang, Lu Kuang, and Wen Chou stay, and the rest of the people will retreat for the time being!" ”

Yuan Tan subconsciously said Wen Chou's name, and after saying that, he realized that Wen Chou was no longer there, and his father relied on the vanguard general the most, and he died in the hands of the enemy in just one battle.

Yuan Tan sighed helplessly and waved his hand at everyone.

Everyone saluted and said goodbye!

The few people left behind are the most relied on henchmen of Yuan Shao's father and son.

Yuan Shao's successful henchmen and civil and military affairs have a total of 22 people, and they are 22 heroes!

(Originally twenty-four heroes, frustrated and Tian Feng were dug into the corner)

Three sons and one nephew, respectively: eldest son Yuan Tan, second son Yuan Xi, youngest son Yuan Shang, nephew Gao Gan!

According to the strengths and talents of the four people, Yuan Shao gave them great rights and territory: Yuan Tan served as the assassin of Qingzhou, Yuan Xiyao led the history of the assassin of Youzhou, and Yuan Shang was deeply loved by Yuan Shao, and often accompanied Yuan Shao.

The four of them are like the four huge pillars that support the Yuan Group.

In addition, there are seven major strategists under Yuan Shao, namely: Xun Chen, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Judge, and Xin Bi.

The seven of them are all famous people in Jizhou, and they are all world-famous wise and resourceful people!

and Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan, who are known as the "Four Pillars of Hebei".

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are no longer there.

The four generals are: Lu Yi, Chun Yuqiong, Lu Xiang, and Lu Kuang.

The three famous ministers are: Chen Lin, Wang Xiu, and Cui Yan.

The above 22 people followed Yuan Shao to make great contributions, which can be said to have made great contributions!

Yuan Tan looked at Xun Chen and Zhang He, and said, "Tell me what you think of Li Yang, Haw Par, and the Youzhou army." ”

Zhang He looked sideways at Xun Chen and motioned for him to answer Yuan Tan's question.

Xun Chen pondered silently for a long time, bowed to Yuan Tan, and said, "Li Yang is a person with good wisdom and courage. Since his succession to the throne, he has been very steady in every step, but he has made extraordinary moves from time to time.

Li Hugui is the world's first fierce general, but he has a good heart, which is very rare.

Han Leopard is moody, with a natural hostility to foreign races, in a word, the three males of the Li family are not good stubble, the minister advises the son, do not give birth to the idea of peace talks, the two families have no possibility of peace talks! ”

Yuan Tan nodded silently and motioned for him to continue.

Xun Chen continued: "The Youzhou army only needs to be summed up in one sentence! ”

"What kind of sentence?" Yuan Tan asked.

"Disciplined and fearless of death!"

As soon as Xun Chen's words fell, there was a sound of ear-to-ear exchange in the tent, some people scoffed at his words, and some people thought that what he said was more in line with the facts, such as Zhang He was one of them.

In fact, Xun Chen's evaluation of Li Yang can only be regarded as pertinent, but it is not understood.

If he was present, if he listened to Xun Chen's words, he would only smile slightly.

Li Yang's personality can be summed up in a few words by Xun Chen, he has too many faces and many heavy personalities, so much so that he has not been able to recognize all of them after following him for so many years.

Yuan Tan slowly digested Xun Chen's words, and asked again, "Mr. Youruo, do you think there is still a need to fight this battle?" ”

Xun Chen said bluntly: "Childe, the minister thinks that there is no need to fight this war anymore, because the Youzhou army has shown their strength, they have weapons of great destruction, and the cavalry has no advantage in front of the Liaodong crossbow, with all due respect, our chances of victory are already very small." ”

Xun Chen's words caused a commotion and dissatisfaction, among which Lu Xiang and Lu Kuang reacted the most intensely.

Lu Xiang got up and saluted Yuan Tan, glanced at Xun Chen, and said coldly: "Sir, how can you grow the morale of others to destroy your own prestige?" ”

Lu Kuang frowned and said, "What Mr. means is that he wants us to give Jizhou to Li Yang?" ”

Xun Chen was about to speak, but he heard Yuan Tan sigh and said, "Actually, we have already lost, because our hearts are already messed up." ”

Everyone in the tent bowed their heads in shame when they heard the words.

Glancing at everyone silently, Yuan Tan continued: "We have won many battles, and our former opponents have been beaten by us and can't even lift their heads, but there are people outside the world, and you should all understand the truth of the saying that there is a sky outside the sky, and now we have finally met a tricky opponent." ”

Yuan Tan stepped down from his seat, he put his hands behind his back, and continued: "Failure is not terrible, what is more terrible than failure is to underestimate the enemy, you should know better than anyone else the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated, but you still go your own way, and you are always arrogant.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou's death is a wake-up call for you, you have been with them for more than ten years, you should know something about the two, they did not die of greed, both of them were battlefield veterans, but they died in the end, they died of misestimating the strength of the opponent, they regarded Youzhou as those vulnerable opponents.

The deaths of Yan Liang and Wen Chou should make you soberly aware of your own problems, it is not difficult to admit that the enemy is stronger than yourself, Cao Cao realized that we are stronger than them, so he invited reinforcements who are stronger than us, and we should also recognize the strength of the Youzhou army, so that we can truly reflect on our own mistakes and correct them as soon as possible. ”

"Arrogant tigers are easy to die, and the longest living ones in the forest are packs of wolves."

Yuan Tan sighed, and then waved his hand to drive everyone out, leaving only Xun Chen and Zhang He.

Yuan Tan said to the two: "Prepare to start the matter of retreating the army, first lead the army to retreat to Yecheng, wait for the opportunity, and wait for the change." ”
