Chapter 697: The Jizhou Army Retreats and Returns (continued)
At this time, Yuan Shao was almost at the gate of Yecheng, and he took the officials of Yecheng to rush to his lord.
At this time, Yuan Shao had already stationed his horse, and then signaled the army to stop, after all, it was actually even here, and it was impossible for him to advance again, let alone let the army go further.
"The subordinates will judge and match, and the officials of Yecheng will welcome the lord here!"
To be honest, it was really not good for Yuan Shao to come back at this time, not at the right time, but because of something, this is not good. You said that let him say what he said at this time, if his lord is triumphant and returns victorious, then he really has a lot of good words, and there are a lot of New Year's greetings. But now that his lord is coming back at this time, it is from Liyang who has no choice but to force the Yanzhou army to retreat, so what else can he say at this time, saying that he welcomes the lord to retreat?
As for Yuan Shao, he, who is the lord, naturally still doesn't know what Lu Dao thinks at this time. If he knew the truth, he would probably just smile bitterly. In fact, that's right, wasn't he forced back by Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army. Originally, when he led hundreds of thousands of troops to the battle, what was the situation, but look at it now, alas, sad and lamentable.
"Well, okay, let's go into town!"
From this sentence, it can be seen from the trial. If his lord was in a good mood, he would never say such a simple thing after returning to Yecheng. So he knew in his heart, my lord, my lord had really suffered a big blow. It's just that on the surface, you have to pretend that nothing has happened. After all, as the lord of hundreds of thousands of troops, he is still the overlord of the four northern states (although Yuan Shao now has three states left, but for convenience, he said so later. So......
In front of his subordinates and all the soldiers, of course, his lord can't show anything else that is too abnormal. He can only let people see that he is still Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu, the overlord of the four northern states. is still the Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu who was born in the Yuan family of the fourth world and the third duke, and Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, who was the official and worshiped the general of the imperial court. In this way, he can lead the Jizhou soldiers to continue to fight the world and sweep away the other princes-
In fact, Yuan Shao himself didn't pay much attention to it, but he observed it carefully, so he found out. When his lord was still in Guandu, he had more gray hair on his head. Judging but knowing that when the soldiers had not yet entered the official crossing, although his lord was not young, he really didn't have so much gray hair, but now this is ......
The trial suddenly felt. Now his lord seems to be no longer like his previous lord Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, seeing the appearance of his lord at this moment, the judge feels that he is actually more like an old man in the twilight. Really, it's the first time that I have felt like this in my own father-in-law.
Thinking that his lord was the leader of the alliance of the Eighteenth Route Princes, Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying killed the Yuan family's entire family in Luoyang at that time. And at that time, although his lord was hit, it was definitely not like now. Afterward. Yuan Shu, the sister-in-law of the Yuan family, died in Xuzhou. His own lord is not like this. It seems that his lord is really incapable, and he may continue to fight the world, but he will not have much benefit to his lord.
But ......, no matter how tired his lord is, it is impossible for him to hand over the power to his son. What's more, his lord is in this aspect of inheritance to his heirs. It's really not very clear. Originally, according to common sense, he should let his eldest son take over him, but his father-in-law was the only one who liked his third son Yuan Shang, and he didn't like his eldest son and second son.
As a result, this is not a problem. If your lord can't handle the problem of the heir well, then the impact on his own side is really too great. I can only hope that my lord can deal with this problem, but from the current point of view, it is indeed difficult. Not to mention his own lord, even Qi Huangong, one of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period, didn't he handle his son's affairs well, and what happened to the result. Even an overlord like Qi Huan Gong can't understand something, and it is estimated that his lord is also hanging.
It's not that the judge doesn't believe in his lord, but his lord really can't be compared with other people's Qi Huan. Of course, if nothing else is aside, his lord really can't handle the problem of the heir, at least that's what the trial thinks is the case-
Everyone slowly entered Yecheng, and most of the men and horses of the Jizhou army let Yuan Shao stay outside Yecheng and let them be stationed on the spot.
It's finally time to go home. Yes, everyone's mansions are basically in Yecheng now, so they feel like this.
You have to know that you may not be able to come back. I had only heard of the name of the Yanzhou Army before, but I had not had much contact with it. But this time I really fought with others for a long time, and after several battles, no matter how unconvinced I was, I had to admit that I was inferior to others, not as good as others.
Look at the appearance of the two sides now, you can not know the way, at the beginning of their own crossing of the Yellow River, when they crossed the official crossing, it was really high-spirited, what Yanzhou army, I didn't pay much attention to it at all, I think it is not a problem. But now, it should have been the other way around, at this time, the Yanzhou army has become high-spirited and won Liyang, it is estimated that it may not be when it will come to Yecheng. This is really "time and fortune", after a few battles between his side and the Yanzhou army, the losses are great.
Let's not talk about those Jizhou soldiers, let's talk about the beginning, in Baima, the general Yan Liang was killed, and Guan Yu Guan Yunchang of the Yanzhou Army was killed with a knife, and he died too unjustly. After rescuing Wuchao, he broke Jiang Qi, and Chun Yuqiong made a mistake after drinking and was killed by the lord. And Wen Chou, who went to attack the Yanzhou army camp at night, and Zhang He, Wen Chou directly saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away, and then Zhang He also took refuge in the Yanzhou army. After that, Gao Ran led a death squad to attack the Yanzhou Army camp, and he also died in the Yanzhou Army camp.
If you think about it, you can see how many people have been lost. There are only three generals with superb martial arts on their side, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Zhang He, but now they are not on their side. So if you think about it carefully, your own side has suffered heavy losses, too big, and has been confronting the Yanzhou army in Guandu for so long, but it has lost so much. And now even Liyang has been lost, so that Cao Mengde and the Yanzhou army have entered Jizhou, and they are already approaching Yecheng-
In his Great General's Mansion, Yuan Shao gathered everyone together, and he wanted to say a few words to everyone.
In addition to those who surrendered to the enemy who died, there were also those stationed in various counties and counties, and other people under their own accounts were there, Yuan Shao said at this time: "In the previous war, our army really did not occupy any advantage. Now Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army is estimated to be coming to Yecheng, and Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army has entered Kouchang Mountain, everyone, now we must defend this Yecheng, I don't know if you have confidence? ”
As soon as everyone heard their lord say this, many people lowered their heads, what was not an advantage, but in fact they failed, lost to the Yanzhou army, and now they are not returning to Yecheng in a gloomy way. Everyone knows the way, even if he is the same as his father-in-law, he is not too embarrassed to say it clearly. But people are always a little ashamed, and many people bow their heads, just embarrassed. If you want to say that you have failed, except for your own lord, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with anyone here?
No, absolutely not, if you don't say anything else, just talk about the honor and disgrace of the entire Jizhou Army, it is impossible not to have anything to do with the people here, because there is no one here who is not the Jizhou Army.
At this time, Koji Yi was the first to speak, "Lord, nothing else, it's just the grain and grass of our army......"
At this time, Koji Yi dared to say this directly, everyone knew that the Jizhou army was defeated, but the first dead soldier of the Yanzhou army was victorious, and even the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Yanzhou army and the Qingzhou soldiers were added together, and they had not defeated the first dead soldier of Liyi.
At this time, Yuan Shao is expression was solemn, and he said to Koji Yi, of course, to everyone: "Everyone, don't worry about the matter of grain and grass!" At that time, our army was still far away in Liyang, so there was really no good way to deal with it. But now that my army has returned to Yecheng, this matter is not difficult to do! ”
After speaking, Yuan Shao smiled rarely, let everyone see it, and had a lot more confidence in his lord. Truth be told, they hadn't seen their lord actually laugh in days. But this time, it's okay, and finally I saw the real smile of my lord again.
The judge said: "The intention of the lord, don't you want to go?" ”
The trial is indeed a fast turn, and as soon as his lord said it, he thought of a very possible possibility.
Yuan Shao nodded slowly, "Yes, I just want to release grain and grass from the wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Yecheng to meet the needs of our army!" ”
When the people heard this, they said, "Well, really, it's really good, and it's really good for the lord to do this." To tell the truth, almost everyone looks down on those big families, as well as rich businessmen, really, if it weren't for their lord who has had a lot of help from them over the years, they would have not known what to do. But now that their army is short of food and grass, it's time for them to have more blood.
Yuan Shao's heart is actually clearer than anyone else, to say who has the most abundant grain and grass in the world. It is definitely not the Liangzhou army, let alone the princes of any way, but those families and wealthy businessmen, and the materials in their hands are definitely the most in the world.
And because he was born in a family and is a child of a family, he has always been good to the family under his rule, and they have indeed helped him a lot. (To be continued......)
