Chapter 27 Hebei Dispatches Troops

Hebei, on the outskirts of Yecheng, a huge expedition ceremony is underway, as far as the eye can see, swords and guns are like forests, iron armor is like clouds, five-color flags fluttering in the wind, and there are rumbling war drums, resounding through the world, majestic mountains and rivers!

The point general is full of halberds, and in the flickering cold, the overlord of Hebei - Yuan Shao is wearing golden armor, wearing a red gold helmet, Yunjin combat boots under his feet, slashing the knife at the waist, and a group of personal soldiers and guards are surrounded, like the stars and the moon, so majestic!

Under the stage, Hebei civil and military forces stood in a row, led by a young general, with red lips and white teeth, handsome appearance, quite a heroic appearance, also wearing a set of gold armor, demeanor and temperament, similar to Yuan Shao, it is his beloved son - Yuan Shang, who is also the commander of the army on this expedition!

The civil strife in Xiliang has aroused the great attention of the Hebei Group, and Yuan Shao is famous for 'doing big things and cherishing his life, seeing small profits and forgetting his life', a large piece of fat is in front of him, how can there be a reason not to eat, not to mention that in terms of strength, Yuan Shao is a leader in Cao Cao, the head of the princes in the world!

Jizhou has a vast territory, known as 'the largest state in the world', with a household registration of one million, sufficient armor, money and food can be used for ten years, and suffered a locust plague last year, but the vitality is not injured, and there is still the strength to send troops to expedition and expand the territory, but unfortunately, in terms of military response speed, Yuan Shao is always slower than Cao Cao, and the reason is very simple - internal friction!

Knowing the news of the civil strife in Xiliang, Cao Cao planned to send troops, Yuan Shao planned to send troops, Cao Cao raised money and grain, Yuan Shao planned to send troops, Cao Cao had money and food, Yuan Shao planned to send troops, Cao Cao's army went out, Yuan Shao was still planning to send troops, back and forth, and discussed for more than two months before deciding the matter.

The controversy of the Hebei group is the issue of the selection of the commander, the military generals of Wenchen are divided into two factions, one faction supports the eldest prince Yuan Tan, and the other faction supports the third prince Yuan Shang.

There is an ancient saying: 'Women prefer young sons, husbands pay attention to the eldest sons, the elders and young are orderly, and the country does not have civil strife', but unfortunately, at the critical moment, Yuan Shao's woman's heart attacked, and the responsibility of commanding the army was handed over to the young son Yuan Shang, as for the reason, this son looks like himself!

Yuan Shao is tall and majestic, although he is over forty years old, his handsome style has not diminished at all, but he has the charm of a mature man, and his personal image completely crushes Cao Cao, he has always been extremely proud of this, in Yuan Shao's thoughts, the career of the old handsome guy will inevitably be inherited by a handsome little guy, among all the sons, Yuan Shang has the best appearance, and he is naturally favored!

"This time, Yuan Shang is the commander, the judge, Feng Ji is the strategist, Yan Liang and Wen Chou are the generals, mobilize 150,000 elite soldiers from Hebei and the two states, 50,000 war horses, and then recruit 300,000 people, escort grain, grass, ordnance, and set foot on the Xiliang ......" In order to make his son make meritorious service on the battlefield, Yuan Shao also cast his old book, sent 150,000 troops at one time, and sent two strategists to assist, two generals to lead the army, such a luxurious lineup, even a stupid pig can win a battle!

"Father rest assured, the child will definitely set foot on Dunhuang this time, raise his prestige in foreign lands, and plant the banner of the word 'Yuan' all over the twelve counties of Xiliang!" The first time he commanded the troops, Yuan Shangxiao's face was full of excitement, with a sense of arrogance!

"Hehe, Wu'er has the appearance of a hero, both civil and military, corporal Lixian, and he should achieve the cause of a hero!" Yuan Shao patted his son on the shoulder, his eyes were full of doting, but looking at the thousands of troops in the audience, he couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in his heart!

The son has been diligent and studious since he was a child, both civil and military, and among the young generals, he can be regarded as outstanding, but he is too young, and it is the first time he has led the army, he has no military experience, and his personal prestige is weak.

"Thousands of troops and horses, one commander, this is the father's personal sword, the name is 'beheading', my son holds it, if there is someone in the army who does not obey the order - behead!" Yuan Shao's eyes turned, he took care of it, untied his 'chopping knife', and handed it to his son, this knife is in hand, no one dares to disobey the order in the four states of Hebei!

"Thank you for your father's love, the child will definitely make good use of this knife, and on the battlefield, he will make meritorious contributions!" Yuan Shang felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, took the sword with both hands, turned around and raised it high, and signaled to the officers and soldiers of the three armies, the look of pride was beyond words!

"Wan Sheng! - Wan Sheng! --Wan Sheng! ”

"The great general is mighty and invincible in the world!"

"The third prince is victorious, and he will succeed!"

…………………………

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers, holding high swords and guns, let out fanatical cheers, the left and right Wenchen military generals, also took the opportunity to slap the horse, and vigorously touted the Yuan father and son, almost knelt on the ground, saying that to see Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness, ...... as an official in Hebei, this is an important basic skill!

Things in the world, there is a joy, there is a sorrow, some people are proud, some people are resentful, Yuan Shang holds a sword, accepting the cheers of thousands of troops, it can be described as majestic, in the queue, the eldest prince Yuan Tan's face is sinking like water, and his heart is full of resentment!

Hates Yuan Shang for favor, hates his father unknown, and hates his stepmother Liu even more, if it weren't for her rhetoric and blowing the pillow wind vigorously, the position of the commander of the Western Expedition army should have been held by himself, but he fell short and cheapened others!

Yuan Tan knew in his heart that with his father's favor, on the day of the triumph of Yuan Shang's army, he would inevitably ascend to the throne of the heir, rule the four states in the future, sweep the world, and even sit on the throne of the Ninety-Five Supreme, and achieve the unparalleled emperor's ......, and what about himself, he can only bow his head and act as a minister, look at people's faces, and beg for a little scraps to survive, not even a dog, the people of the Yuan family have never had the tradition of treating their brothers well?

"What should I do, do you accept your fate like this, kneel on the ground, be willing to be a minister, and steal ......, or fight to the death to seek a glimmer of life?"

The poisonous snake devoured his heart and was full of resentment, Yuan Tan began to think about it, if he wanted to regain the position of heir, there was only one way, so that Yuan Shang's army would be defeated, and it would be a big defeat, it was best to wipe out the whole army and die on the battlefield, and the dead would not compete with him!

"I'm sorry third brother, in front of the big position, you are dead or alive!" Yuan Tan, as the assassin of Qingzhou, is in charge of the political side, and he also has some military strategic talents, the key to the expedition of the army is not in the strength of the soldiers and horses, but in the supply of grain and grass in logistics, as long as he uses a little means, at the critical moment, cut off the grain route, Yuan Shang and the 150,000 army, none of them will come back, hehe......

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Among the civil and military forces in Hebei, there are two people who are not happy, but worried, one Tian Feng, one is depressed, the two are the neutrals of the Hebei Group, do not support any son, and do not oppose it, as the so-called bystander Qing, it is this kind of detached position that makes them see the current situation very clearly!

"Yuan Hao is resourceful and knowledgeable, in your opinion, how will the army win or lose this time?" Seeing that the lord gave the power of command to his young son in a reckless manner, he couldn't help but feel worried!

"The lord has been hesitant for more than two months, and he missed the best opportunity to send troops, this is a defeat!"

"The expedition of the army depends on the victory by surprise, and with such a big fanfare, the enemy army must have been prepared for it, and this is a slight defeat!"

"Commanding the army with a young son who has no prestige at all, and granting the right to kill, the officers and men in the army will inevitably be dissatisfied, and this is a defeat!"

"Years of war, Hebei is tired, the lord does not care for the people, but forcibly conscripts 300,000 strong men to transport grain and grass, how many people will be tired on the road, the people's livelihood is suffering, how peaceful is the heart, this is a heart defeat!"

"The strategy and the hearts of the people are defeated, this time the army goes out, how many chances are left to win!" Tian Feng's words are just like his character, hard and unyielding, although they are loyal, they are also contrary to ......, "Moreover, there is civil strife in Xiliang, Cao Cao will inevitably send troops, and with the strategy of treachery, will he send the general under him to command the troops?" ”

"Cao Cao's strategists are like clouds, generals are like rain, there are a lot of people who can recruit good fighters, this battle is very important, and the strongest soldiers and the bravest generals will be sent, then it must be 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang'!"

After thinking about it for a while, he was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, Xiao Yi's skills and achievements, that is a well-known thing in the world, decisive killing, unparalleled strategy, fighting on the battlefield, never defeated, and the folk even rumored that he was the 'greedy wolf star king' in the sky who descended to kill the world!

Although the third son, Yuan Shang, also has some skills, but compared with Xiao Yi, he is like a little lamb who has just come out of the circle, and he has encountered a vicious wolf with sharp claws and teeth, I am afraid that there are no bones left, and it will be difficult to return it!

"In that case, why didn't Yuan Hao dissuade the lord and choose someone else to lead the army?"

"Hey, I persuaded you, but the lord didn't listen!" Tian Feng sighed, full of grievances, Yuan Shao didn't just listen, even his eyes were full of murderous intentions, it was a matter of the battle for the storage position, as a minister, how could he say more?

Manpower is sometimes exhausted, and everything is left to fate!
