With the retreat of Yuan Shao's army, the soldiers and horses on the periphery of Yijing City Pass were naturally evacuated.

The tension that originally made the entire Yijing City become noisy, at this time, is finally dissipated.

However, although the war was over, Yi Jing's soldiers did not cheer, and the attack and siege in the past few months had made them all begin to feel war-weary.

It is different from the previous results of following Gongsun Zhan all the way to the south and the north, and he was invincible and invincible.

In this battle of Youji, Gongsun Zhan and them were simply beaten to the point that they had no power to fight back, and once they were defeated, they were almost not rubbed on the ground by their necks.

The Yuan army is surging, the army is pressing, but they can only retreat one after another, and Gongsun Chan will never support, it can be said that in the past few months, they have not fought battles, but suffering!

If it weren't for the fact that the grain and grass in the south of Youzhou had already been dimmed by Gongsun Bogui, even if Yuan Benchu wanted to eat the enemy, there would be no food in Youzhou, and the rear was unstable before he temporarily retreated, and everyone didn't know how long it would be painful.

Therefore, even if Yuan Jun retired from the army now, their first thought was just a fluke of relief, rather than the usual joyful celebration in the past.

I have to say that the heart of the army under his command is like this, and Gongsun Zhan's previous inaction in the offensive and defensive battles of Yijing is indeed a great responsibility.

Perhaps, it is also because his grandson Chan has exhausted his strength and has no ability to conquer again.

Of course, those words are far away, at least at this moment, Gongsun Chan can still breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon after Yuan's army retreated, Gongsun Zhan moved the administrative office from the closed attic back to the Yijing Mansion to dispatch the generals under his command.

However, what is unexpected is that he mainly rewarded the descendants of the Gongsun line, Tian Yu and Zhao Yun, who had not yet returned, only verbally praised him, and Gao Zhi, who came to support, did not say goodbye, but just sent someone to tell him that he would prepare a gift for Gao Zhi when the time came.

It can be said that Gongsun Zhan's approach can no longer be described as mediocre.

Although nepotism is sometimes an inevitable choice.

After all, when Yuan Shao's situation was very good in history, he also let his three sons and his favorite nephew, Gao Gan, each lead a state.

It's not that Yuan Benchu has a problem with his brain, but compared to the threat caused by the three sons and the senior cadres each leading a state, it is far less than the threat caused by handing over a state to other generals and grasping the military and government.

Thinking about it again, when it comes to the Cao Wei period, the actual controllers of the frontier seem to be the descendants of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, and the other generals need to stand aside no matter how strong their ability is, that is to say, at that stage, all the princes understand the necessity of dictatorship at a specific time!

But, again, it is important to understand the dangers.

This is troubled times, and troubled times have their own rules.

Like today's Gongsun Zhan, it is a typical reward and punishment, and the morale of the army, which is already sluggish, is accumulating more and more resentment.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Gao Zhi, who is no longer a member of Bai Ma Yicong.

After a rest, he walked out of the tent, took a deep breath and began to move his body to stretch his muscles.

Not far from him, a group of soldiers was training, and it was clear from their movements that it was nothing more than a group of recruits.

The movements of these soldiers were not neat, although the clothing was quite uniform, and the movements of each of them were also very powerful, but there was no momentum in the overall action, except for the weapons in their hands, they did not have the appearance of an army at all.

In Gao Zhi's words, this is a group of rookies who have never seen blood, and now if they go to the battlefield and encounter enemy troops, they will definitely see a one-sided massacre.

However, the Han military service is characterized by the fact that all the country is a soldier.

At this time, the age at which men began to serve in the military was also relatively early.

There are three types of military service, one is the central "guard" soldiers, the other is the border county "garrison" soldiers, and the last is the "service" soldiers who serve in their hometowns.

The "guards" are the central army, the garrison capital and the imperial palace, and the "guards" are well paid, and they do not need to spend their own money, and all expenses are provided by the central government.

However, this is not the case with the "garrison" soldiers. The actual time of the garrison is only three days, but it often takes a year and a half for the "garrison" soldiers to rush from their hometowns to the garrison place, which is caused by the Han Dynasty following the old practice of previous dynasties.

Obviously, this is not cost-effective, so the Han Dynasty made a change in this system, as long as you pay 300 yuan to the government, you can be exempted from the obligation of garrisoning the border for one year.

If there are 100 people who are exempted, then the total amount that needs to be paid to the government is 30,000 yuan.

The government used the money to hire a man who was willing to go to the border, and when this person took the money, he had to go to the border for 300 days.

This was a workaround of the Han Dynasty's "garrison" system.

The local "service" soldiers were roughly equivalent to the current militia, engaged in agricultural production in peacetime and trained intensively for one month each year.

In the event of war in the country, these "conscript" soldiers can be temporarily called up to participate in the war.

These soldiers are the "service" soldiers in the place where Gongsun Chan is now urgently assembled.

These people are not only poorly armed, but also have low morale.

In comparison, the only remaining Youzhou cavalry not far away, riding on a horse can still maintain a strict formation, neat movements, and vaguely exuding a solemn momentum all show that this small number of cavalry is definitely a well-trained elite.

Shaking his head, Gao Zhi continued to move forward.

Speaking of which, there are countless historical celebrities he has seen since he came to this era.

In this great era of the rise of heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, everyone who is not willing to be lonely is doing their best to leave their own mark on the picture scroll of history in their own way.

Long or short, thick or light, they presented wonderful performances for future generations, but also left many difficult mysteries.

In the end, what they left behind was the Three Kingdoms of the late Han Dynasty, one of the most splendid eras in Chinese history.

Even if it is Gao Zhi himself now, he has already integrated into it.

It has been the case since ancient times, the world can make men fall deeper and deeper and finally unable to extricate themselves, but the only game that is fun is politics, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, waking up to the power of the world, unchanged for thousands of years!

However, Gao Zhi had no intention of competing for hegemony.

Because the starting point is too low, he can't afford to compete with the heroes for the world, and he doesn't want to waste his energy for such a boring thing as competing for the world.

All he wants to do is to be able to save himself and his current family in this troubled world, and under this premise, he doesn't mind making some efforts to end the troubled times as soon as possible and retain more strength for the Han people.

Gao Zhi has never had the kind of non-human feelings of giving up "a small family for everyone", to put it bluntly, human nature is selfish.

For this reason, it is a very necessary choice to take refuge in the princes as a backstage and backing.

Sighing, looking up, the bright stars, twinkling endlessly, the light of the stars across the distant starry sky, sprinkled on this weather-beaten land.
