Chapter 157: Shangguan's Fear

The four thousand brothers guarded Gongsun Chan and the others completely withdrew from the battlefield, and immediately let out a cheer and began to clean up the battlefield. I have always thought that I am already very frugal, but compared to these brothers, I am simply a waste and need to be criticized.

The tattered armor was collected, the cavalry bow and crossbow could not be given up, the riding gun was definitely a good thing, the Takahashi saddle must be cherished, a thousand war horses that were shot to death must not be wasted, the meat of the war horse, in this era of extreme lack of meat, is definitely the favorite thing of the soldiers, a thousand war horses, kicking the skin and removing the bones, at least 500,000 catties of meat can be obtained, the internal organs of the horse can not be discarded, in the eyes of these soldiers, clean and cook well, it is definitely a delicacy that there is no in the world, as for the bones of the horse, It must not be wasted, directly transported back to their own barracks, set up a marching cauldron to boil, boiled out of the bone glue, this is absolutely rare, in the wounded soldiers to replenish the blood, second only to the world-famous donkey glue, in later generations, what is the world-famous glue, is not more than half of the horse bones boiled? Horsetail and horsehair, that is an indispensable strategic product.

The giant arrows released by themselves are also carefully recovered, although the arrows are cast with discarded iron slag, and most of them have been broken when they land, but these broken slags have also been carefully recovered by the soldiers and sent back to the base area. Of course, the shaft of the arrow must also be recovered, and can it be burned as firewood at the worst of all.

For these desperate soldiers who were originally persecuted, everything was a good thing, and Lu Peng, who was moved by such a careful time, looked ashamed, and then hugged his head and went back to the city to see Liu Yan and Zou Jing.

Liu Yan, who came back from watching the battle from the city, sat in the study, his hands holding the tea soup were still trembling slightly, even the veteran captain Zou Jing, sitting there, the corners of his eyes were still beating.

The impact of this battle on Liu Yan and Zou Jing was incomprehensible, and this time they finally discovered the combat strength of Lu Peng's army.

In addition to being happy, he also began to think about how to deal with this matter in the future, after all, this is the internal strife within the Han army, I originally thought that Lu Peng and Gongsun Chan were outside the city, under the supervision of everyone, and the comparison was just a matter of comparison, but as a result, Lu Peng was ruthless, Gongsun Chan was stubborn, and he died thousands of people in the first battle, speaking of which is definitely not a trivial matter, this guy who can do things and dare to do things actually directly stabbed himself with such a big Lou Zi, annoying the two most powerful people in the court today, how can he end up for him, If he doesn't end up for him, he will make the rest of his subordinates think that he is not sympathetic to his subordinates, a subordinate who has made military merits and money for himself, and is loyal, if he can't protect him, it will chill the hearts of many of his subordinates.

But what Lu Peng did this time was indeed too excessive, he had to be cautious to investigate and deal with it, and give Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan an an explanation, to be honest, for the superiors, in their opinion, such a method of losing the pawn and protecting the handsome is normal, and it is also handy to do, and there is no psychological burden at all.

However, at this time, Liu Yan did not show Zou Jing's tone in front of Zou Jing, and now Zou Jing already likes to die this nephew and son-in-law who dares to do it and values love and righteousness.

After sending Zou Jing away, Liu Yan called his henchmen who were still pale and blocked other miscellaneous things, Liu Yan poked his head out and said with a serious and low expression: "Sir, this official knows that you have a good relationship with Lu Peng, please tell the truth, Lu Peng has other forces to hide besides the current army?" ”

Today's battle, Liu Yan was definitely shocked, Gongsun Chan was sent out by himself to fight the Xiongnu and the rebel Zhang Chun and Bian Zhang Han Sui, but the wings were stiff, and he was no longer under his control, becoming a tiger lying beside him, and wanted to hook up with the Yuan family of the imperial court to his own disadvantage, this time he simply took a thousand white horses from the door, Gongsun Zhan's mind is known to passers-by, but it is to snatch back his daughter as an excuse to peep into his Youzhou, fortunately, he used Lu Peng and let them fight outside the city to keep Youzhou from losing. And it did achieve its goal.

But this battle made Liu Yan even more frightened, and now he realized that his feelings were lying next to the couch beside him, and there was a mad tiger, which was more terrible than Gongsun Zhan, with Lu Peng's general act, his ambition seemed to be greater than Gongsun Zhan, at this time he had to figure out his true strength, otherwise there was always a mad tiger lying next to the couch, with such a strong strength, and with the help of Captain Zou Jing, this would definitely make people crazy.

Seeing Liu Yan asking himself so solemnly, Guan Yan's face changed, and he hurriedly defended: "My lord, my subordinates are friends with Lu Peng, but that's just a friend of wine and meat, and it's fundamental—"

Liu Yan hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt Guan Yuan's defense: "Sir, don't be careful, your loyalty to the official, the official knows, in fact, I let you associate with Lu Peng, and I also need you to be able to grasp Lu Peng's dynamics at any time, and you have done a very good job of this." ”

Guan Yu quietly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief. Then he peeked at Liu Yan, pondered a little, and said: "As far as his subordinates know, all of Lu Peng's strength is here, and his subordinates are just these few generals, who usually chat, and he is also grateful to Lord Taishou for his promotion and reward." ”

Liu Yan didn't interrupt Guan Yan's words, but just listened quietly.

Win people's money and eliminate disasters for others, not to mention that Guan Yin really wants to rely on Lu Peng to seek safety for his family in the troubled times in the future, so he carefully speaks for Lu Peng.

Licking his chapped lips, Guan Qi continued: "If you say that this person is not ambitious, it is not, after all, they are all young people, born in troubled times, and there are people and horses in hand, they always want to climb up, but I look at this son, but he is a reckless man who is greedy for money and lustful, if it is not for the help and care of adults, he will not go far at all." ”

greedy for money, lustful, and reckless, this comment is not much different from Liu Yan's evaluation of Lu Peng.

Since Lu Peng returned to Youzhou, he immediately did not hesitate to capture the Black Mountain Village at the cost of life and death, and destroyed the Zhao family at the cost of life and death, this kind of behavior, in fact, the fundamental purpose is still for money, as for lust, it is even more obvious to all, in the world, which man can use a large army for a woman, offending one of the two most important forces in the court now? It's nothing short of a miracle. The recklessness was confirmed in the first war. Of course, at this time, Liu Yan had forgotten how he wanted to use Lu Peng in the first place.

Liu Yan thought for a moment: "But Lu Peng's strength is strong, but it is also worrying, don't drive the tiger at the front door and enter the wolf at the back door." ”
