Chapter 495
"Hurry up for Lao Tzu, delay things, be careful that I cut off your heads!" Looking back at the many soldiers and horses who were already a little tired, Wen Chou shouted angrily.
Generally speaking, in this host, no matter how loud a person's voice is, it can't reach far. After all, there are thousands of troops, and the movement alone is already earth-shaking. But this ugly voice is so loud that the people around him can hear it clearly.
Most of the soldiers and horses under Wen Chou's account have been following him for many years, and they know that their main general is definitely the kind of person who does what he says. If you really dare to delay his affairs, it is almost certain that he will be cut, although they have just gone south from Youzhou, they do not dare to delay his affairs at all, and they have taken out their last bit of strength, for fear of slowing down the speed of the team.
Looking at this scene, the judge who followed next to him frowned, and raised his voice to Wen Chou, who was not very far away from him.
"General Wen, the situation in the plains is critical, but our army has been running around all the way, the soldiers are already very tired, the so-called strong crossbow is the end, we can't enter Lu Minye, if we rush to the plains like this, I'm afraid that not only will we not be able to help General Zhang and them, but even we ourselves will have some trouble..."
Wen Chou was a little proud of the strength of his words, and he couldn't help frowning when he heard the words of the judge.
"Why should Mr. Shen grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige, the Qingzhou Army is just a rabble!"
"Has the general forgotten that Nanyang Huang Hansheng..."
Hearing the words of the judge, Wen Chou's face instantly became difficult to look at.
"Huang Zhong..."
Wen Chou almost gritted his teeth and read the name.
It turned out that during Yuan Tan's raid on the plain, Wen Chou was also active in the plain for a short period of time. As the general of the Jizhou Army, Wen Chou's bravery is definitely above other generals, even if he is not very good at strategy, but he has become an important opponent of the Qingzhou Army with his bravery.
Until he ran into Huang Zhong...
During the period of garrisoning the plains, the Jizhou army and the Qingzhou army have been constantly in friction, and Wen Chou and Huang Zhong have also fought several times. However, when Wen Chou, who was brave and championed by the three armies, faced Huang Zhong, he suffered many defeats and suffered a lot of losses. Wen Chou himself is also ashamed, and always thinks about revenge. It's a pity that there has never been such an opportunity, and later he was transferred back by Yuan Shao.
Wen Chou has always held a grudge against this, but unfortunately there is no way, what is the use of not being as good as others? In several duels, Wen Chou fell behind, especially the last one, if he hadn't run a little faster, he would have almost been cut off by Huang Zhong.
And it is precisely because of the prestige that Huang Zhong established in the confrontation with the Jizhou army that he has almost reached the level that everyone knows about Jizhou. The four generals of Qingzhou, in terms of their reputation in Hebei, are actually Huang Zhong's largest.
In comparison, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and Gan Ning are relatively inferior.
Among them, the worst is Gan Ning, since he was put into Yan Shao's account, not to mention that he has not made an inch, there is still not much credit for a little bigger, unlike Tai Shici, who has the qualifications to follow Yan Shao's meritorious service, and also has the credit of beheading Huaxiong and fighting Lu Bu before the Tiger Prison Pass.
The same is true for Zhao Yun, one Lu Bu has been able to blow for a long time.
Of course, you can also say that there is nothing to brag about bullying more and less, but don't forget, that is Lu Bu, the pinnacle of force in the Three Kingdoms era. And compared with Lu Bu at that time, whether it was Zhao Yun or Tai Shici, they could only be regarded as nobodies, especially Zhao Yun, who was just a small soldier under Yuan Shao's account before following Yan Shao.
Isn't it sensational enough for a small soldier and a so-called general who is not very famous, but he can fight to a draw with Lu Bu?
When looking at this matter, many people actually use the perspective of the three people after they become famous, and feel that a dignified martial saint, a Shu Han emperor, plus a famous three generals, three people can't beat one of them, it's really not worth mentioning.
But I don't want to think about it, Liu Bei at that time was just a county order, and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were just some nobodies, except for Cao Cao and others who were fighting under Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song at that time, how many people knew their names?
If such a person can fight to a draw with Lu Bu, it is not surprising why it caused a sensation.
Although...
With more bullying less, there really is nothing to brag about...

No matter how much Wen Chou held a grudge against Huang Zhong, at least one thing was certain, he was full of jealousy of Huang Zhong. Hearing Huang Zhong's name from the mouth of the judge, no matter how angry he was, he still couldn't help but slow down the speed of the war horse.
"What does that mean, sir?"
No matter how proud and complacent Wen Chou is, he has to respect the opinions of the judges.
Yes, he is indeed a general in the army, but he is a strategist and confidant that Yuan Shao relies on. Moreover, in the process of Yuan Shao's army to occupy Jizhou, both the trial and others made great efforts, and in terms of status, it was obviously higher than Wen Chou and others. Before sending troops, Yuan Shao strictly ordered him to obey the orders of the judge.
Wen Chou is indeed loyal to Yuan Shao, and no matter how much he looks down on these literati who only know about conspiracies and tricks, he has to respect their opinions. Coupled with the psychological shadow left by Huang Zhong to Wen Chou...
Seeing that Wen Chou slowed down, the judge couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
If Wen Chou continues to make mistakes, there is really nothing he can do. After all, what he can really rely on is only Yuan Shao, but now Yuan Shao is thousands of miles away, and the difficulty of expecting Yuan Shao is not ordinary...
At least Yuan Shao, who was thousands of miles away, had absolutely no way to help with the trial at this time.
And let the judge himself go into battle to stop Wen Chou? To be honest, looking at his thin arms and legs, he really didn't have that much confidence.
"I know that General Wen is worried about the war in the plains, but General Wen doesn't have to be anxious, although the plains are not a big city, but with General Zhang He here, it can't be broken overnight, not to mention that Xu Ziyuan is far away by his side..."
When it comes to Xu You, the trial is somewhat disdainful.
In fact, Xu You is definitely a ruthless person, as early as 184 A.D. (the first year of Zhongping), Xu You and Jizhou Assassin Wang Fen, Peiguo Zhou Jing and other heroes to abolish Emperor Han Ling, re-establish the Marquis of Hefei as the emperor, and tried to persuade Cao Cao to participate together, but Cao Cao refused, Wang Fen wanted to take advantage of Emperor Han Ling's northern tour, in case of black mountain thieves as the reason to send troops, in order to start an incident, but in the end Emperor Han Ling dismissed his troops and summoned him to the court, Wang Fen was afraid and committed suicide Xu You and others fled.
After that, Xu You defected to Yuan Shao, and also made a lot of contributions during Yuan Shao's reign in Jizhou.
It's a pity that Xu Yu is greedy and uncured, he is a fierce person, his sex is not pure, and his trial is very upright, so he naturally looks down on such a person.
However, I can't look down on it, for Xu You's resourcefulness, the trial still admits it, with him, the trial doesn't think there will be any problems in the plain, at least before they arrive.
"Along the way, the army is tired, it is the time when we need to rest, it is better for us to find a place to camp and rest first, and then continue to go south when the rest is perfect, I believe that General Zhang and Xu Ziyuan will still wait during this time..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Chou again.
"If you rush into the army and lead to failure, the lord will not be happy if he knows about it."
If Huang Zhong's name is not mentioned in the trial, maybe Wen Chou will be disdainful, but the previous experiences have made Wen Chou very jealous of Huang Zhong, and now that he listens to it, he can't help but be cautious.
"In that case, listen to Mr., rest for a while, and when you have rested, then pull out the camp and go south..."
Wen Chou's order was conveyed, and it soon attracted a burst of cheers. There is no way, the rapid march before was really unbearable, and now it is very joyful for these soldiers to be able to take a breath.
It's just that...
Walking into the tent that had just been set up by the soldiers, Wen Chou asked with a frown after signaling the judge to walk in with him. "Mr. Juan, you tell me the truth, what do you think of the situation in the plains? Can we solve the siege of the plains with our soldiers and horses alone? ”
It's not that Wen Chou has no confidence in himself, but the soldiers and horses he brought with him to the south this time are just the vanguard of the Jizhou Army, and the current Yuan Shao is not the Yuan Shao who unified Hebei later, and he can casually take out tens of thousands of troops for Wen Chou to squander. This time, all the soldiers and horses brought down by Wen Chou were only 3,000 cavalry.
Three thousand cavalry, placed in other areas at this time, is not a small force, but this time the opponent brought at least tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. This is almost a ten-to-one gap, and among the soldiers and horses on the opposite side, there are opponents who can almost be regarded as being on the same level as themselves, so Wen Chou can't be cautious.
If you fail...
Wen Chou knows very well that his own lord seems to be magnanimous, but in fact he is very cautious, maybe there will be some punishment waiting for him, and it seems unlikely that there will be anyone else who will speak for himself at that time except for a sworn brother?
"It's hard to say..."Speaking of this matter, the trial was also a little worried. I heard that this time Yan Shao led more than 60,000 Qingzhou troops, and went north to invade my Jizhou, with a huge number of troops, and all the soldiers and horses in the lord's place were only 100,000, excluding the soldiers and horses that had to be guarded against Gongsun Zhan, in fact, there would not be much more than Yan Shao, and this time there were only 3,000 cavalry handed over to me. ”
"In fact, the meaning of the lord is very simple, that is, I hope we can reach the plain first and give some support to Zhang He and Xu Ziyuan, but unfortunately our little strength is really not enough to do anything. If he changes places, maybe he can also do the work of attacking and harassing the logistics line, robbing Yan Shao's baggage a few times, so that he will not be so presumptuous, and he can also slow down his pace. It's just that the plain is not very far from the bank of the Yellow River, and the Qingzhou army also has a lot of cavalry, if we do this, not to mention whether we can succeed or not, I am afraid that even we are in danger. But if we want to rush into the city like this, all we bring are cavalry, and it is really useless to defend the city, and it will consume the precious cavalry..."
"That'...... What is the best idea for this gentleman? Wen Chou also thinks so.
Don't look at Wen Chou as a reckless man, since he can achieve the level of a general in the army, there is always a little bit of strategy, at least he knows very well what the role of the cavalry is, and there are thousands of roles of the cavalry, among which there is definitely no such thing as defending the city.
If they really took the soldiers and horses to the plain like this, the only possibility was that they were trapped in the plain with a piece of land, and they were in a dilemma. Don't look at the fact that the Jizhou army has begun to move south, but many of the follow-up soldiers and horses are resting, and the grain, grass and ordnance consumed before also need to be replenished, which all require a considerable amount of time, plus Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses are mostly infantry troops, in other words, they can't be counted on in a short time, and the only thing that can be counted on is Wen Chou's cavalry.
But just brought the soldiers and horses under his command over like this, not to mention that it was inappropriate to judge the match, Wen Chou, a reckless man, felt that it was inappropriate, and the rest seemed to have no need to say more...
"Is this..."
In fact, this matter is really being considered, and he started to think about it on the way south, but the bumps along the way made him have no clue.
More importantly, what role can it play in just a few thousand cavalry?
If tens of thousands of troops face each other in Hebei, he can also signal Wen Chou to take soldiers and horses to move in the hinterland of the Qingzhou Army and cut off the logistics line. even looted the villages and towns on the border of Qingzhou, making Yan Shao feel pain to the bone marrow.
But this time there is a Yellow River between the two, not to mention anything else, it is not easy to let 3,000 soldiers and horses cross the Yellow River, let alone loot the boundary of Qingzhou? The judge believed that his side had just started to cross the river, and Yan Shao's side must have already known about it. Considering the naval army owned by the Qingzhou Army, I am afraid that they will all sink to the bottom of the Yellow River and feed the fish and crabs.
This is clearly not the outcome that the trial wants...
"General, give me some time, let me think about it, please rest assured, before entering the Plains Realm, I will definitely come up with some solutions..."
I already have some clues, but I am very tired along the way, and I can't come up with any ideas for the time being, so I have to say this first.
"Okay, sir, please rest first, and tell me when you have an idea..."
Wen Chou is not embarrassed by the trial, after all, he has no clue himself, how can he be qualified to say that the matching?
It's just that Wen Chou is really not very confident in whether he can think of a way to match the match, he also knows a little about this matching, knowing that he is resourceful and upright, but in terms of resourcefulness, it seems that he is not in the forefront of the Jizhou army, at least in the Jizhou army, there are Tian Feng and two of them, and the rest does not seem to be too bad.
It's just that, maybe it was out of Wen Chou's expectations, or maybe the trial match was really resourceful, and that night, the trial had already figured out a way.
In the early morning of the next day, the three thousand Jizhou cavalry shifted direction and galloped away in another direction, and in their original direction, Zhang He and others were still in a bitter battle, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
