Chapter 1774: The Battle of Shouchun (55)

Ji Ling didn't want to just leave and flee to Lujiang, but he had no better choice, what he would face after returning to Shouchun, he didn't have to think about it, he knew that although he was grateful to Yuan Shu, he really didn't have the face to see him again, if he fled back in embarrassment the first two times, what could he explain for himself, or even he still had a trace of unconvinced and unconvinced thoughts of not admitting defeat, so this time it was completely gone.

Of course, a more important reason is that he has no face to go back, if he is not grateful to Yuan Shu, he can run back shamelessly, but he feels guilty and feels ashamed of his trust in Yuan Shu, and if he goes back, it is shameless, so he would rather be a mourning dog than dare to go back to face Yuan Shu.

He can have today, inseparable from the cultivation and cultivation of Yuan Shu, without him he is an inconspicuous soldier in the Xiyuan Army, not famous, muddy and nightmarish for a lifetime, but because of Yuan Shu, he was reused, promoted, and became the largest general in the Shouchun Army, and can even be said to be the most reused general, compared to Zhang Xun, although he is also the lord relies on the humerus, but compared with him, there is no advantage at all, if it were not for his own Kuangting defeat, Zhang Xun would never have a bright day, but this is fate, No one can change it.

It's like some of his practices towards Yuan Shu, in fact, he doesn't agree with it from the bottom of his heart, but he can't change it, for him, his disapproval of Yuan Shu has nothing to do with his loyalty, which he distinguishes very clearly, because he is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he will always remember that he can't do without Yuan Shu's promotion today.

As for other things, it is not so important, because this is enough, although the two are not the same kind of people, although what Ji Ling said on his lips and what he thought in his heart when he saw him was absolutely different, but these have no effect, as long as he treats Yuan Shu loyally, it is okay, other things, right and wrong are not so important.

From this point, it can be seen that Ji Ling is a person with a very bottom line, otherwise he would not be able to distinguish between good and evil, but he is a person without a bottom line, and good and evil are by no means an excuse to organize him, so he is originally a person without a bottom line, and such a person will really make people afraid, because you don't know what he will do, and if he escapes now, it is not very normal, but it will not make people feel strange.

Ji Ling, it's hard to describe his performance in one sentence, or in a special environment, his brain may make an irrational choice as soon as his brain is hot, just take the ambush of Zhang Liao as an example, it's one thing to want to be decent and return to Shouchun, but when he finally decides to give it a go, why not make a choice when his mind is hot, as the supreme commander, he thinks more, but when he doesn't have so many worries, when Huashan is a road, there is nothing to hesitate, Yuan Shu trusts him? The person who said such things must be naïve, and he acted like a tiger, but under the circumstances at the time, it would be more beneficial for him to keep him, but now if he returns to Shouchun, Yuan Shu will definitely not be far from death in order to stabilize the morale of the army and rectify the typical.

Now is no more than in the past, he can see this more clearly than anyone else, when he has completely lost his value, especially once the war is lost, then it is essential to ask for the guilt, he knows that he did not fight the battle well, and in the end it is normal to be used as a scapegoat.

No way, sometimes more than half of his position is behind the pot, and the other half is to highlight the wisdom and martial arts of the lord, this kind of thing has been understood from the day he entered the general's mansion, with merit that is Yuan Shu, all of them are commanded by people to strategize, and they lost the battle, it is his Ji Ling's, the battle of Kuangting, it is said that he Ji Ling is incompetent, but he was also ordered by Yuan Shu, under the condition that there is no reinforcement outside and no help inside, let alone he Ji Ling, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu comes, he has to be killed by Cao Cao. To put it bluntly, it was Yuan Shu who was blindly commanded at that time, although he also strongly opposed it, but it was useless, and he was defeated in the end, Yuan Shu asked for the crime, but what else could he explain, saying that he shouldn't have garrisoned Kuangting in the first place?

If he really said it, then he might have died a long time ago, and he wouldn't have lived until now, and did he ever complain about this kind of thing? No, just like the situation of the Battle of Jiujiang is actually the same, because of these reasons, Yuan Shu didn't ask him to blame, because he also understood in his heart that if he Ji Ling accounted for half of the reason for the defeat and commanded it improperly, then the other half was that he Yuan Shu himself did not plan well.

But this time Ji Ling didn't want to go back, he didn't dare, but he felt that Yuan Shu had reached the end of his rope, from being a dominant family to now taking care of himself, to put it bluntly, he was already at the end of his rope from the day he became emperor, and Ji Ling couldn't stay on his ship anymore.

So all he thought about all the way was to Lujiang later, and when it was good, it was time to think of a way back for himself.

It's just that this road is too difficult to choose, if there is a way, who doesn't want to be a loyal minister of the second master, but Shouchun has already arrived in this field, he doesn't have to choose, think about it, and there is no suitable place for him, this is undoubtedly the most headache for him now, or his old friend Liu Xun can give him a good answer, he heard it early on, after learning the news of Yuan Shu's emperor, he began to contact the outside world, obviously he is also very dissatisfied with Yuan Shu's emperor, although this dissatisfaction is different from Ji Ling, Ji Ling is not more against this matter, he is against it at this point in time.

But at that time, Yuan Shu also had his own ideas, at this point in time to be called the emperor is the best choice, taking advantage of Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Lan decisive battle in Xuzhou, he is too busy to take care of himself, he is not called the emperor, it is difficult to wait until the end of the battle of Xuzhou to call the emperor, at that time people come to fight you will have no worries.

I have to say that Yuan Shu's abacus knocked very loudly, but what he didn't expect was that he wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect to help Liu Lan resolve the danger in Xuzhou in the end, and even let Cao Cao and Liu Lan form an alliance, this result was something he didn't expect, if he was given another chance, he would definitely wait and wouldn't be too anxious, but now he has no chance to regret it.

Today Yuan Shu got some news again, Cao Cao has completely surrounded Ping'a County, Zhang Xun now don't talk about returning to Shouchun to rescue, Liu Lian can't even protect himself, now the news he received is still the news dozens of days ago, and then the news has been transmitted to Shouchun for more than ten days, Ping'a doesn't know what the current situation is, but it's definitely not good. And the success or failure of Ping'a undoubtedly determines the final direction of the war in Shouchun. Of course, if Yuan Shao can send troops to Guangling during this time period, the result may be different.

Yuan Shu has some six gods and no master, no matter who he replaces at this time, it may be his reaction, so almost no one dares to touch the mold, let alone take the initiative to give advice, take care of themselves, and think about how to save their lives, but there are also people who still have a glimmer of hope, but what they think is the same as Yuan Shu, that is, they hope that Yuan Shao will send troops to change their current unfavorable situation, as long as Yuan Shao sends troops to completely change the battle situation in Shouchun, everyone understands this truth, but no one is completely sure, naturally everything is back to the original point.

Overnight, everything seemed to be against Yuan Shu, Ji Ling lost the news, Zhang Xun was trapped in Ping'a, the bad news came one after another, overnight he seemed to return to the period of the Battle of Jiujiang, the situation at that time was almost exactly the same as today, Ji Ling lost the news, Zhang Xun was also trapped, but at that time he still had Cao Cao Yuan Shao to help, and today he is no different from a lonely person, no one in the outside world can help him and help him, maybe even if Yuan Shao sends troops now, it may be too late.

And just when Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu were messed up, Ping'a came with the news again, Zhang Xun's dear book, the content is very short, but it is the only way to keep Shouchun at the moment, the content of the team's letter, Yuan Shu will be suspicious, although there are doubts in his heart, but because there is really no good way, he can only give up.

Although everything Zhang Xun said in the letter seems to be leaky, peach blossom flood, no one is more familiar with what these three words mean than him, because the appearance of these three words is often followed by floods are disasters and dead people, relying on peach blossom floods to keep longevity and spring, is a way, but he can't think of how to use such an opportunity to defeat Liu Lan, even if he suffers from floods, it is relative at that time, not to mention that he has no soldiers, even if there are soldiers, they can't let them go out of the city to die, they didn't die in the hands of the Xuzhou army, died in the flood, isn't it meaningless?

Of course, it would be best if the Xuzhou army retreated directly if it encountered a flood, so that the difficulties in front of it could be solved without a single soldier, and there was a better result than this? The messenger was anxious to leave, but Yuan Shu left him to eat the morning food because he was happy, and then it was not too late for him to return to Ping'a to resume his life, of course, this is Yuan Shu's order to be safe, he needs to understand Ping'a's current situation, and want to know more about whether Ping'a can hold it, if Shouchun makes him worry, then Ping'a will haunt him, because he knows too well that Shouchun is now going to change such an unfavorable situation, Ping'a's troops and Zhang Xun are the key.

The news from the messenger looked good, although it was a little difficult to break through, but Cao Cao couldn't do anything about Ping'a, so it ensured their absolute safety, as long as he relied on the flood to retreat Liu Lan here, then they actually still had a chance.

After a sumptuous meal, Yuan Shu sent his parents and children out of the house, which was already very grand, not to mention that a little scout like him did not have this treatment, even his main general Zhang Xun did not have this treatment.

Of course, this is also because of the special situation, otherwise his identity may not even be able to see Yuan Shu's face, and the moment he was sent out of the house, Yuan Shu saw Yan Xiang who came in a hurry, he looked a little hurried, and he could see that there was something important to visit him, so after sending the messenger away, Yuan Shu directly beckoned Yan Xiang into the house, and after the leftovers in the house were disturbed by the maid, after serving fragrant tea, Yan Xiang whispered to Yuan Shu.

After a while, Liu Bei of Yuan Shu took his leave and waited until Liu Bei left. Jian Yong's figure appeared again, and he opened the door lightly, only to find that Wen Shu had written a word, which was very simple, just two words: hungry wolf.

The glasses changed, it was cold, he never thought that Ji Ling actually ran to Lujiang, but Liu Xun had been hiding himself, if it wasn't for his son Yuan Yao seeing him, he wouldn't have imagined that he would actually appear in Lujiang, this waste, he actually had the face to escape to Lujiang, why didn't he die directly.

Yuan Shu didn't think too much about it at the time, he just felt that this matter was because he had no chance to return to Shouchun after the defeat and had to go to Lujiang, he immediately ordered Liu Xun to escort Ji Ling back, he wanted the Ming army to be military law, he would not give Ji Ling such a waste a chance, he was blind, and he actually reused a waste like Ji Ling, it was a pig in the past, even if it was not too high these years, it would not be worse than Ji Ling.

At this time, it is conceivable how angry he was, but Yan Xiang did not move, Yuan Shu quickly noticed the difference in him, watched him stare at himself motionlessly, and said softly: "What, Aiqing has anything else to say,"

"Didn't the Son of Heaven feel that this matter was different? Why did Liu Xun not report such an important matter, but the news from the prince? ”

These words instantly calmed down Ji Ling, of course he understood the truth in this, and he also knew the meaning behind what he said, but he didn't know or he didn't dare to guarantee what role Liu Xun played in this, he didn't plan to pass on the news. Or is his report still on the way, two possibilities and two results, Yuan Shu doesn't dare to guess, this relationship is too big, wow I have to figure out what Liu Xun's plan is, after all, he has tens of thousands of horses in his hands, and his current strength can take Liu Xun There is no way, and even if the current Liu Xun Liu does not obey him, he has no way.

This matter must be investigated, but it can't be investigated openly, the best way is to do nothing next year, just pass on a holy decree and ask him to escort Ji Ling to Shouchun, and the others will secretly collect news. It is necessary to determine what Liu Xun wants to do, although Yuan Shu has been able to guess it, but without my conclusive evidence, he will not wronged anyone.
