Chapter 37: On Martial Arts
Yan Zhanshu endured the pain, struggled to sit down, straightened the shelf with five hearts to the sky, and began to breathe quietly according to the rules in his memory, and a ball of fire aura began to gather, and with the rhythm of Yan Zhanshu's breathing, it quickly poured into his body, burning his body with a sizzling sound, and a layer of grease was baked out, reflecting Yan Zhanshu's painful face even more distorted.
The heart is not bad, Zhang Yan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, if Yan Zhanshu showed the emotion of fear of pain and difficulty, she didn't know what to do, after all, for so many years, that is, the man in front of her barely met her criteria for choosing a husband, although his face was a little ugly.
The situation in Guangping became calmer day by day, and the figures of Yu Yigen and Guo Damu appeared outside the county government at the same time. "Dashuai, are you looking for us?"
Yan Zhanshu nodded and said, "Lao Guo, you take Brother 100 and collect all the eliminated weapons, surplus equipment, and iron tools seized from the rich family's house. ”
"Collecting ironware? Is this what it's about? Commander, the brothers' weapons are good enough, and there is no need to build them anymore. ”
"Shut up and do what you are told to do."
"Yes." Guo Damu closed his mouth, although he was scolded by Yan Zhanshu, he didn't care at all.
"Old Yu, you also brought more than 100 brothers to arrest all the blacksmiths in Guangping City."
"Yes."
"Also, in the next few days, I will teach those brothers who do not know how to ride to learn how to ride, and within ten days, everyone must learn to ride horses, otherwise, when the army is transferred, don't blame me for throwing him to death in Guangping."
Yan Zhanshu's voice fell, and Guo Damu wondered: "What, we still have to transfer?" How good it is to stay in Quang Binh, this is a big city, it was so easy to fight, what a pity to abandon? In fact, even if it is Guangzong, I think it should be left behind to garrison, and it will be a way out at that time. ”
Yan Zhanshu said coldly, "There are more than 2,000 people in total, divide troops here, garrison there, how many people are left in the end?" Can it be kept? ”
"There are not enough people to recruit soldiers, there are many people nearby, as long as you burn their houses and rob their food, if you want to survive, you have to go with us, and tens of thousands of people can be gathered within a few days, hehe, Zhang Qushuai and Cheng Qushuai didn't do this before."
Yan Zhanshu glared at Pei Yuanshao fiercely, and said Sen Ran: "So, Zhang Niujiao and Cheng Yuanzhi are all dead!" ”
Guo Damu's head drooped, his mouth flattened, and he had nothing to say.
Yan Zhanshu frowned and patiently explained, "I'll tell you, why can't you do that!" Zhang Niujiao and Cheng Yuanzhi were indeed able to gather tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people in a short period of time, but it was not an army that could fight well, it was just a rabble. What else can they do but waste food and shout a few mighty sounds? Let's just say that Zhang Niujiao, hundreds of thousands of people besieged Guangping, where thousands of officers and troops were stationed, fought for several months, and tens of thousands of people died without defeating, so it can also be called an army!? ”
"Moreover, once the size of the team is huge, the imperial court will pay attention to it, and when the time comes, the world's elite Han army will be mobilized to suppress it, what can we resist? Just by those rabble? How did Yingchuan's wave be defeated? How did Zhang Niujiao die before! is a great sage and good teacher, isn't it because there are many sects and can't give it up, so they will be trapped in Julu, Guangzong can't maneuver, and they will be dragged to death! ”
"Therefore, there is no way to survive by learning from Zhang Niujiao and Cheng Yuanzhi! Now, the only way we can survive is to be horse thieves! As long as the team is not too large and remains at about 2,000, the imperial court will not pay attention to it, and will not send elite soldiers to suppress it, so we will have a way to live! Two thousand horse thieves naturally have no future, but what if it is two thousand generals above the Divine Power Realm?! ”
Yuan Shao ran all the way and came to the outside of the Han army in Xiaquyang, wandering left and right - at this moment his heart was depressed, as the fourth and third dukes, he had the advantage of troops, and was even defeated twice, and now he has no shame to go back to the camp to see Zhu Jun and even his former colleagues! I still remember that when I went on the expedition, Cao Cao also persuaded him with good words, but he disdained it, and now that I think about it, Cao Cao is really defeated by experience!
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! "Primordial!" With a shout, a black lieutenant ran out of the camp gate, and said affectionately: "When you come back, you won't talk to me." After looking at Yuan Shao's expression, he asked softly, "Is it defeated?" ”
Yuan Shao was ashamed and nodded lightly.
"Smack!" Patting his thigh, Cao Cao sighed: "At that time, General Zhu only gave you 3,000 cavalry, I thought it was too little, and I really expected it!" ”
"That's right!" Yuan Shao woke up suddenly, he fought several times, and the only ones who could cause damage to Yan Zhanshu's trapped camp were the elite soldiers brought out from Xiaquyang, and the other family members and county soldiers were simply waste! It's not that you can't fight, it's that too much waste drags you down!
"You're right!" Yuan Shao nodded fiercely and said: "That Yan Zhanshu's subordinates are extremely fierce, and it is difficult to win if they are not twice as good as the elite soldiers!" I was defeated this time by the lack of troops. He patted Cao Cao on the shoulder and said, "Haha!" Meng De, thanks to your explanation this time, otherwise I would have suffocated in this horn! He turned around and walked towards the camp: "I'll go back to the general and try to make up for it!" ”
Looking at Yuan Shao's distant back, Cao Cao quietly shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the original was really defeated, and even the most basic self-confidence and judgment have been lost. This Yan Zhanshu is really a disaster that is even more powerful than Zhang Bao! No, I have to repair a book and tell my father that he should play the Son of Heaven and attract the attention of the princes of the court! This strict thief will not die for a day, and my land will be uneasy for a day! ”
Thinking of this, Cao Cao hurriedly turned around and entered the camp and told Zhu Jun what he thought, Zhu Jun was silent for a while, and replied: "Yan Thief has defeated General Huangfu and Ben Chu successively, and he is indeed cunning and cruel, and I can't be separated here, so it's okay for you to go back, by the way, greet Cao Gong for me, and bring my recital and send it to the Son of Heaven!" "On the spot, he wrote a letter to the court, saying that the battle situation in Jizhou at this time, I hope that the imperial court will mobilize the army again, otherwise the situation will inevitably erode!
"With this letter from Duke Zhu, I think the princes of the court and the Son of Heaven will definitely pay attention to it!" Seeing that Zhu Jun also agreed with his thoughts, Cao Cao was very excited.
"You're still young." Unexpectedly, Zhu Jun sighed: "I'm just doing my best to obey the destiny of heaven!" Looking at Cao Cao's somewhat confused and understanding eyes, he waved his hand and said, "You can go." ”
After Cao Cao left the camp, he took more than a dozen personal guards and rode fast horses all the way south. That night, he crossed the Yellow River and arrived at his hometown in Chen Liuqiao County, where he met his father Cao Song, reported the battle situation, and waited to meet his father's stormy reprimand.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Cao Cao's battle situation, Cao Song rarely did not speak harshly to Cao Cao, but sighed gently: "Meng De, you are lucky to come back alive from the battlefield, I am already very comforted." Now that I'm over the age of six, I don't have much time to come, and I really don't want a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. ”
Looking up at the deep wrinkles on Cao Song's forehead and his half-gray hair, Cao Cao suddenly discovered that the old man who had been extremely powerful since he was a child was now just an old man, no matter how powerful and powerful he was before, he was no longer the same as before. At this moment, in front of him is just an old father, an old man who is happy that his son can escape from the battlefield alive.
"From today on, I must be self-reliant, I am the pillar of the Cao family! I'm going to take care of this home! Cao Cao came to his senses, stood up from the ground, and said goodbye to his father: "The war situation is erosive, and the imperial court is afraid that it has not yet received news, so I must go to Luoyang at this moment and report the news." The son is not filial, so say goodbye! After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Come back!" Cao Song shouted: "If you go like this, it will be useless, and you will fall into trouble!" The party members have long been eyeing our eunuchs - and wait for me to write a letter to you, send it to Zhang Rang, the regular servant, and bring another 10,000, no! 30,000 gold, you can act! No matter how many heroic ambitions there are, people must live to do them, you remember it for me! ”
