Chapter 303: Xun Kan's Allegiance (Second Update)
In the early morning of the next day, in the temporary mourning hall in the county government, I saw the gathering of civil and military forces, full of hall, Yuan Xi knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed to Yuan Shao's coffin three times, slowly raised his head, and said with a firm gaze: "Father, I should have immediately returned to the north to bury my father with the funeral of the king, but the Cao thief was inevitably destroyed, the Son of Heaven was in trouble, and the hatred of the country and the family was not avenged. I hope that the father will have a spirit in heaven and bless the child."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Xi kowtowed again, slowly stood up, turned to look at the full hall of civil and military, and said with cold eyes: "Cao thief harmed my father, caused chaos to the dynasty, Xi and him will never die, pass the order, and send troops to cross at noon today."
"No!"
"Lord Xun" Yuan Xi shouted, looking at the loyalty value that has been as high as eighty-one, and is still rising, his tone is very gentle, sure enough, as Li Ru said, Xun Kan and other scribes have this special cleanliness, that is, they do not allow their reputation to be slandered in the slightest, the suicide note was written by Xun Kan himself, and he also heard with his own ears that Yuan Shao let Yuan Xi inherit the position of the lord of the north and the general, so whether it is for his own reputation or for the stability of the north, Xun Kan will never be half-hearted, but will be loyal, He vigorously maintained Yuan Xi's orthodox status and proved his loyalty.
"Lord, what are your orders" I saw Xun Kan, who was standing first in Wenchen and even above Li Ru, immediately stood up respectfully, clasped his fists and said softly, Yuan Xi, who was called by the lord, was comfortable.
"The white horse is the first checkpoint between the north and the south, it is very important, after Xi led the army to Guandu, this white horse, Xi plans to let you and Jingzhi guard together, I don't know if you are willing" Xun Kan's respect also made Yuan Xi polite.
"If you are willing, you will definitely guard the white horse for the lord," Xun Kan immediately responded.
"Okay, Lord Xun should pay more attention, care more, and adopt more strategies, so that those soldiers who are still wandering will come back, although they escaped this time, but the main reason is not them, tell them that Xi is willing to bypass them this time, let them go back to reunite with their families" Yuan Xi instructed, this is also the main reason why he left Xun Kan, because Xun Kan has an extraordinary status and a prominent reputation, what he said, everyone believes it, which will be of great help to gather the wandering soldiers and belong to their hearts.
"Kan understands, please rest assured, it will definitely make the soldiers understand that the lord is benevolent and orthodox" Xun Kan replied with a fist.
"Haha, good" Yuan Xi smiled with satisfaction.
After "Master Hou" saw that Yuan Xi and Xun Kan finished speaking, Gao Ran suddenly stood up anxiously, but hurriedly said: "No! The lord, the last general also wants to participate in the battle of Guandu"
Yuan Xi raised his eyebrows, looking at the expectant gaze, knowing that Gao Lan, a famous general, really wanted to go to the battlefield.
Li Ru smiled faintly and stood up: "Lord, Cao Cao's fierce generals are like clouds, and they really need the strength of General Gao, so if you look at it, General Yurui will command 20,000 people to guard the white horse!" General Yurui is the deputy general of the Lord's personal guard, and he is loyal and has no problem."
Yuan Xi looked at Gao Lan, who was immediately full of happiness, and said with a smile: "That's good, Yurui"
"The last general" Yu Rui immediately stood up, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes, he is different from Gao Lan, he has always commanded the personal guards, defending Yuan Xi, although it is very honorable, he is also very willing, but for the generals all want to lead the party, as long as he does a good job, Yuan Xi will definitely be entrusted with important tasks again.
"It's up to you to assist Lord Xun to guard the white horse, remember, the stability of the white horse comes first, if something goes wrong, Xi will take down your head" Yuan Xi warned solemnly, after all, Yurui is not as good as Gao Ran.
"The Lord is safe, and the last will definitely defend the white horse," Yu Rui assured.
"Okay, then let's go back and prepare, and set off immediately at noon today," Yuan Xi ordered.
"No!"
"General Wen Chou, you stay for a while" Yuan Xi suddenly shouted.
Wen Chou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Lord, what do you command?"
"Xi heard that the general was injured by Guan Yu, do you want to take a rest, if you need to, you can also stay in Baima" Yuan Xi asked with concern.
Wen Chou was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly said: "Lord, the last general's health has long been good, and I want to take advantage of this opportunity to meet that Guan Yu in the meeting, if they hadn't set up an ambush in the White Horse Mountain last time, so that the last general would have been distracted, he would never have been hurt by Guan Yu."
Wen Chou's words were filled with a strong sense of unwillingness and humiliation, as well as hatred, hatred for Guan Yu for killing Yan Liang.
"Haha, that's good, the general will go with me, Xi has a hunch, the general will definitely not lose this time" Yuan Xi said with a smile.
"Thank you, lord," Wen Chou said gratefully.
After everyone left one after another, I saw that in the side hall, Xun Kan suddenly took the initiative to find Li Ru.
"Master Liang, there is something I want to discuss with you," Xun Kan said in a low voice.
"Lord Xun, you're polite, just say" Li Ru smiled slightly, the Xun family is a masterpiece, no matter who it is, they all have a respect.
"That's the case, Feng Ji has been arguing in prison to see the lord, what do you think about this matter?" Xun Kan asked with concern.
Li Ru's eyes flashed, and he said: "Lord Xun's meaning is clear, but the time has not yet come, but there is one thing please Lord Xun rest assured, the lord will not treat Lord Feng well, he is completely different from Guo Tu."
Hearing this, Xun Kan breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Yuan Xi would treat Feng Ji the same way he treated Guo Tu, after all, everyone has been together for so long, and everyone respects him very much, and he can help him.
"Lord Xun, in fact, every time Ji is a minister, the lord doesn't care about it at all, but the other two sons, Lord Xun has to take good care of it" I saw that Li Ru suddenly pointed out.
After Xun Kan's pupils shrank, he immediately promised: "Military advisor, rest assured, the status of the lord is justified, and it can be recorded by himself, anyone who tries to disobey the will is an insult to Kan, and it is disrespectful to the old lord, and Kan will never allow it."
"Haha, Lord Xun is not only loyal, but also more important, Ming Dali, so Confucianism is also relieved" Li Ru immediately praised.
Xun Kan nodded, and said solemnly: "Military advisor, Cao thief is scheming, you must be careful, our army must not be defeated."
"Lord Xun is relieved, Cao Cao can't afford to turn over the wind and waves this time" Li Ru smiled confidently.
At noon that day, Yuan Xi put on his armor and mounted his horse, and with a mighty army of more than 100,000 people, he got out of the white horse and hurried towards Guandu.
On the other side, I saw Guandu above, at this time, the drums were beating, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and Gan Ning, who was holding a double halberd, stood with thousands of people standing at a place of 400 meters from the Cao Jun military camp, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
"Let go of the scolding for me," Gan Ning said.
"Cao Cao, you turtle son, come out and die"
"After hearing that Cao Cao is a eunuch, it's really strange, how can a eunuch be a son"
"You don't know this yet, stealing people, haha"
"Bastard!" I saw that the middle door of Cao Jun's barracks was opened, and Xu Chu rushed out with thousands of soldiers in anger.
When Gan Ning saw the camp gate open, he already smiled slightly, waved his hand lightly, and said, "Let's withdraw."
"No!"
When Xu Chu chased out with the army, Gan Ning had already retreated to the camp, and Xu Chu roared: "There is a kind of don't run!" ”
"Haha, there's a kind of you chasing!" Gan Ning said disdainfully.
Xu Chu held the big knife tightly, but when he saw the obviously tired soldiers next to him, he was angry and at the same time, there was also a trace of worry in his eyes,
After several months of continuous fighting, there was no relaxation at all, and the soldiers were not only physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted.
At this time, in Cao Jun's barracks, he saw a grain cart, Cao Cao sat on it casually, dangling a wheat sprout, ignoring the scolding outside, and the whole person seemed to be in deep thought.
