Chapter 123: Zhao Yun
At the end of the discussion, Sun Jian led his soldiers and horses in the direction of Surabaya Pass, while Yan Shao led Tai Shici, Guan Hai and others back to their camp. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
This time, the grain and grass of the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, except for the princes themselves, most of the rest were taken care of by Jizhou. Jizhou is a famous state in the world, rich in products, although the alliance of the alliance has more than 200,000 troops, it can barely support it.
Returning to the camp, he motioned for the guards to light the lights, and someone had already brought up the food and drinks.
"Lord, why didn't you grab the position of the vanguard in the alliance leader just now, and let Sun Jian take the jackpot, then Sun Jian was just a traitor when he was in Jiangdong, how can he compare with me!" Guan Hai complained a little dissatisfied, but the wine in the cup did not stop for a moment, and finally the rise of drinking, simply asked people to get a sea bowl over, and waited until the entire jar of wine was drunk, and then it was very happy. "Good wine!"
Guan Hai has been following Yan Shao since before he started the army, and the relationship between them is very friendly, plus this person is just a reckless man, and he can't hide any thoughts, but Yan Shao trusts him, and now he shakes his head and laughs when he hears him complain there.
"What's the hurry, no matter how powerful Sun Wentai is, it is impossible to kill the Xiliang army, and there is a lot of credit. And we have never dealt with Xiliangjun in the past, and now it is just time for Sun Wentai to try how it works, so that we can have a bottom in our hearts. "Yan Shao had contact with Youzhou soldiers and horses when he was in Jizhou before, but the time was very short, and his understanding was not very deep, he only felt that the other party did not live up to the name of the border army and was good at fighting, but he knew very little about the Xiliang army.
Tai Shici also nodded approvingly. "Yes, we don't know much about the Xiliang Army, if we fight rashly, we are afraid that we will suffer, it is better for Sun Wentai to come forward to test it first, if the other party is really difficult to deal with, we can also take this opportunity to come up with a way." As he spoke, he tore the muscles on his hands, put them in his mouth and chewed them carefully, compared with the reckless men around him who changed their clothes and said that no one would suspect that they were robbers, he showed a bit of heroism.
"But the lord, that Sun Wentai is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, he has repeatedly made military exploits when he fought against the Yellow Turban in the previous time, and this time he has become the vanguard of the coalition army, and I heard that there are four fierce generals under this person's command, if he is allowed to grab the first credit..."Zhou Cang said with some concern.
Although he had never dealt with Sun Jian back then, he had heard of his reputation. Now the battle against Dong is attracting the attention of the world, if the credit is snatched away by Sun Wentai in the end, wouldn't they come for nothing this time and become a foil for others...
Although Zhou Cang himself is not willing to admit it, he has to say that he has indeed gradually begun to integrate into this group and is willing to think about this group.
"You!" Listening to Zhou Cang's words, Yan Shao couldn't help laughing, and slapped his palm on the table a few times. "Then if Dong Zhuo can deal with it so easily, how can we make such a big move, and only dare to come to him to find trouble if we have to meet the princes of the Kanto region? Then Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were even more heroes for a while, and in the face of Dong Zhuo, didn't they also escape from Luoyang in a hurry? Don't look at Dong Zhuo's fat like a meat ball now, in his early years, he was also a general of the border army, known for his bravery, otherwise it would be impossible to shock the Qiang people on the border, so that the first emperor was helpless against him several times..."
Speaking of this, Yan Shao said again. "What's more, I am waiting for this time to sweep away the traitors and support the Han family, if I can cut off the traitors and revive the dynasty, why should I be obsessed with the so-called merits..."
And most importantly...
He knows very well what will happen to Sun Jian in the end...
No matter how fierce the Jiangdong Tigers are, they can't stand the pig teammates desperately dragging their feet behind their backs...
Listening to Yan Shao's words, Zhou Cang was a little ashamed, but Tai Shici and the others were excited.
"The lord is so righteous and heroic, and he is willing to follow him to the death..."Tai Shi Ci said excitedly.
Several other generals also expressed their positions, some of them were sincere, and some of them were just for the occasion, which made Yan Shao smile bitterly in his heart.
He never thought that the Han family could still have such influence at this time.
"It seems that like Cao Cao, it is right to wait for a few decades and wait until the prestige of the Han family is exhausted, if you rashly choose to be the emperor, the final outcome will be like Yuan Shu's idiot..."
However, what really made Yan Shao curious was that Cao Cao did not choose to be the emperor in the end, was it because he was afraid of the ministers in the court who were still loyal to the Han family? Or is it the last bit of loyalty to the Han family in his heart...
ββββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββββ
Almost when Yan Shao and the others were talking at night, Dong Zhuo, who had just received the news, was furious.
There was a real anger that silenced the ministers around him. At this time, except for a few people close to Dong Zhuo, almost no one dared to approach his surroundings, and even Li Ru next to him looked at Dong Zhuo angrily, although he frowned, he didn't take the liberty to stop it.
Dong Zhuo never thought that he kindly let Yuan Shao go, but in the end, the Kwantung princes rebelled, which made him start to wonder if he was too merciful in the recent period to cause such a thing to happen.
"These Kanto rats really don't know whether to live or die! And that Yuan Shao, I swear to kill him! With that, Dong Zhuo had already stood up angrily. There, many generals, including Lu Bu and Hua Xiong, had already gotten up and were waiting for Dong Zhuo's order. For them, those soldiers and horses in the Kanto region did not look at them at all.
Li Ru on the side also frowned slightly, he never thought that Yuan Shao would actually make such a big thing. However, he didn't regret letting Yuan Shao go, after all, the fourth generation and the third duke of the Yuan family, there were many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials, and Luoyang alone was already everywhere, not to mention the whole world. If Yuan Shao was really killed, it would be equivalent to a formal break with the Yuan family, which was very unfavorable to Dong Zhuo, who had just entered Luoyang at that time.
However, in any case, the most important thing at the moment is to solve the Kwantung Coalition as soon as possible.
Li Ru knew very well in his heart that the best solution at the moment was to stand still and wait for the coalition forces to come to the door by themselves. However, he knew Dong Zhuo's character better, so he did not dissuade Dong Zhuo's plan to mobilize all the troops and horses.
At this time, Shangshu Zheng Tai suddenly stood up and said with a straight face. "For virtue, not soldiers..."
Dong Zhuo was on fire because of the rebellion of the Kwantung princes, and Zheng Tai now stood up against him, just in time. Looking at Zheng Tai's gaze, which already contained killing intent, it was only because he was worried about his identity that he didn't do it immediately, but said very unhappily. "According to your words, is the army useless?"
The world's evaluation of Dong Zhuo is kind-hearted and ruthless, which is not unreasonable.
Judging from the aspect alone, Dong Zhuo's face is still relatively relaxed, which may be related to his current weight, but the people who used to think so have either died at the hands of Dong Zhuo, or they have simply been frightened by Dong Zhuo's brutal methods and fled from Luoyang.
Even the ministers, who professed their loyalty to the Han family, seemed to have little other way than to take advantage of the banquet to cry to each other. Now seeing that Dong Zhuo has murderous intent towards Zheng Tai, the ministers standing next to Zheng Tai unconsciously took two steps back, exposing Zheng Tai.
However, in the face of Dong Zhuo's anger, Zheng Tai still looked calm, as if nothing had happened, and said in a calm tone. "I don't mean that, but I don't think the Kwantung princes are worth sending a large army to fight. You rose in Xizhou, you became a general when you were young, and you are familiar with the military, while Yuan Shao is a son of a minister, who grew up in the capital, Zhang Miao is a loyal elder in Dongping County, sitting in the hall, his eyes will not look around, these people have no military talent, and the confrontation is not your opponent at all. What's more, their official positions are all sealed by themselves, they have not been appointed by the imperial court, and there is no order of respect and inferiority, if a soldier is strong to fight, these people will each preserve their strength, to see success or failure, and if they are unwilling to work together, advance and retreat together, they will inevitably lose at your hands. What's more, the Kanto region has been peaceful for a long time, and the people are not familiar with fighting, and the area west of Hangu Pass has recently been attacked by the Qiang people, and even women can bend their bows to fight, and everyone in the world is afraid, and there is no such thing as the army of Bingzhou and Liangzhou as minions, and fighting is like driving tigers and beasts to catch dogs and sheep, and blowing up strong winds to sweep away dead leaves, who can resist?! Conscription without incident will alarm the whole world, and make those who are afraid of military service gather together to cause chaos, and abandon virtue and politics in favor of using the army, which will damage their own prestige..."
I have to say that people who can maintain such calm in front of the angry Dong Zhuo are rare in the court at this time. Even Wang Yun on the side was sweating on his forehead when he saw this scene, for fear that Dong Zhuo would be annoyed and let Zheng Tai be dragged out directly.
As if he had discovered a new continent, Li Ru looked at Zheng Tai with surprise.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Zheng Tai's words, Dong Zhuo, who was originally annoyed, actually laughed. "What Zheng Shangshu said is very true, it is indeed that the old man is making too much of a fuss..."
Seeing Dong Zhuo laughing, all the ministers in the palace couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
I have to say that as the most powerful minister at this time, Dong Zhuo's courage can indeed suppress the ministers in the palace, and even make them dare not even say anything against it.
Zheng Tai sighed imperceptibly, and quietly retreated back to his place, ignoring the concerned gazes of the ministers around him. In fact, in the previous words, Zheng Tai still hid some things that he didn't say.
People like Yuan Shao and Zhang Miao are indeed unlikely to be Dong Zhuo's opponents. When encountering the Xiliang Army, Yuan Shao's Bohai soldiers and horses may still be able to resist one or two, but Zhang Miao or Wang Kuang and others are a little worried. But in addition to these people, there are also many heroes in the coalition who are difficult to deal with. For example, Gongsun Zhan, known as the White Horse General, was feared even by the Hu people in Youzhou, and was one of the very few purer generals among the princes. For example, Sun Jian, who is known as the Jiangdong Tiger, is extremely brave in battle, as well as Cao Cao, who once assassinated Dong Zhuo alone, and Yan Shao, who defeated the Wuhuan people alone...
These people are definitely not so easy to deal with together, and they are even enough to threaten Dong Zhuo. Fortunately, Dong Zhuo was so happy that he didn't delve into it, but thought it was true, feeling that he had been fighting horses for so many years, and it was impossible for him to lose to those rats in Kanto. did not delve into the hidden meaning of Zheng Tai's words.
Although Li Ru next to him could guess Zheng Tai's thoughts, he didn't stop it, after all, if there was chaos in Guanzhong, I was afraid that the consequences would be much more troublesome than being attacked by the soldiers of the Kwantung princes.
However, when he returned to his original position, Zheng Tai sighed imperceptibly.
No one knows that the previous words were of course to confuse Dong Zhuo, but some of them were from his heart.
As one of the smart people of this era, he is not very optimistic about this coalition in his heart. The reason is just like what he said in it, there is no tacit understanding between the coalition forces, and they really only think about how to protect themselves when they encounter things. Dong Zhuo is certainly violent and unpopular, but at least he has the allegiance of the Xiliang Army...
In fact, it is not only him, but many people in the court have such an attitude.
Just thinking about the current situation, they can only hope for the 1 in 10,000 possibility...
ββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββ
Among the coalition forces, Yuan Shao can be described as high-spirited.
Who would have thought that not long ago, that gentleman in the eyes of everyone has now become the leader of the Eighteenth Route Princes, commanding an army of nearly 200,000 and influencing the entire Kanto region.
Especially when the former Fa Xiao and his friends have now become his subordinates, standing respectfully by the side and obeying his orders, which makes him feel extremely vain.
"If we can solve Dong Zhuo's traitors and revitalize the Han family, then my Yuan family can also get supreme glory..."
Lifting the curtain of the tent and feeling the cold wind blowing in outside, Yuan Shao couldn't help but think in his heart.
When he was on stage before, the sight around him gave him a sense of mission, thinking that he was a hero who could save the Han family.
That's right, this is the fate of the Yuan family...
It is also his Yuan Shao's mission.
On the other hand, Yan Shao was wandering around the camp of the coalition army boredly, followed by Tai Shici and Guan Hai.
Although the coalition is now powerful, Yan Shao also knows very well that the so-called coalition army is just a seemingly huge rabble.
It really has to be a face-to-face hard fight, and the coalition forces do have a great advantage in terms of strength, but in the end, whether they can really win the Xiliang Army, to be honest, Yan Shao is really not particularly confident.
At this time, when the surrounding Yuan Jun saw Yan Shao, they all saluted, and they didn't dare to slack off at all.
After all, the ranks in the army are strict, and for the surrounding soldiers, any officer must be treated with caution, not to mention that Yan Shao's identity is still a prince, and there are nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even Yuan Shao has to be polite, not to mention that they are the soldiers under Yuan Shao's hands?
In fact, even if Yan Shao doesn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, it is basically the case.
After all, for Yuan Shao, who pays attention to the portal, he is extremely concerned about this aspect. Even if Yan Shao didn't have many soldiers and horses in his hands, as long as he had a relatively noble identity, he would be courteous to Yuan Shao, and it was impossible to allow the following crimes to happen under his hands.
At the beginning, Yan Shao was really not particularly accustomed to this situation.
After all, as a modern person, he has long been accustomed to that kind of attitude of equality for everyone, which is why he is easy to get into the soldiers and horses of the Qi State and several other countiesββββββ these years, the higher-level officers are almost all from families, but the middle- and lower-level officers are still possible to come up through hard work.
It's just because of their family background, it's hard for these people to get the real attention of their own lords, especially if they fall into the hands of civil officials who only have one mouth, then the result is...
On the one hand, I am afraid that there will be no more future, on the other hand, this kind of lord is usually only interested in those literary affairs, but the generals under his opponent are...
It's hard to meet a person like Yan Shao, who attaches importance to military generals and treats people modestly, how can those generals not be impressed? What's more, Yan Shao still had righteousness in his body at that time, and of course, they chose to turn their backs on their original masters and defect to Yan Shao.
However, today, Yan Shao is a little accustomed to the situation of this era, at least when others salute him in fear, he has been able to treat it very calmly, instead of supporting the other party with some trepidation.
"Huh?"
Just when Yan Shaozheng secretly sighed that he was gradually being assimilated by this world, Tai Shici, who had been guarding beside him, suddenly sighed in surprise.
Yan Shao felt a little strange, and couldn't help but follow Tai Shici's gaze, but just happened to see that there was a pawn holding a silver gun looking at the side of the road.
Although he is wearing the armor that only the lowest soldiers wear, his tall posture, handsome appearance, and heroic temperament, even if he is mixed in the middle of dozens of soldiers, it is still difficult for people to ignore this person...
Of course, the first thing that really made people notice him at a glance was actually the silver gun in his hand.
It's not surprising that even Yuan Shao, a local tyrant in the coalition army at this time, can't everyone be equipped with a particularly good blade, especially for this kind of more grass-roots soldiers, basically there is a simple armor that is already very good, which is like this soldier, although he is wearing an ordinary armor, but the silver gun in his hand is not an ordinary product.
Looking at the silver spear, even if he was wearing the most ordinary armor, it was difficult to ignore the temperament of this soldier in the eyes of others...
"Who are you?"
Looking at the soldier, Yan Shao couldn't help but ask.
Even he could see that this person was by no means an ordinary passerby, and he was a little excited when he thought that he was likely to meet a powerful person.
As if he didn't expect someone to ask him, the soldier hesitated, but still hugged his fists.
"Humble Zhao Yun!" (To be continued.) )
