Chapter 36: Praise
Deng Ai's young man's physique made Yuan Yun very envious, even if this little guy didn't sleep for a few days and nights, now he only rested for more than two hours, and he immediately got up alive, and when he talked about the ups and downs of Sun Ce, his eyebrows danced.
According to what Deng Ai said, Sun Ce seems to be really unable to live, the arrow in his right chest directly penetrated his body, and his abdomen and neck were also seriously injured, if he can survive, it will be really unbelievable.
The battle on the city wall is still going on at this moment, but the shouts and explosions are getting smaller and smaller, proving that the Jingzhou army must have suffered heavy losses at this moment, and Liu Qi must be very hesitant, and he can't make up his mind whether to continue to attack the city or just leave.
Looking at the heavy snow that was falling outside, Yuan Yun also understood, the reason why Liu Qi insisted again and again was probably because the Jingzhou camp was having a hard time these days, after Zhao Yun went to attack their camp before, he returned and said that he didn't burn much food, but he burned a lot of heating things, especially firewood and grass.
Although there are mountains, forests and wilderness all around, but to meet the fire of the 200,000 army, I am afraid that even if several mountains are cut down, it will not be possible, and Liu Qi suddenly launched such a comprehensive attack today, a large part of the reason is this, rather than let the soldiers freeze to death, it is better to send them up to kill.
"It's really boring, it's only been more than an hour, and the military advisor asked me to withdraw, and my body is not warm." When Xu Yi spoke, he swaggered into Yuan Yun's tent, and then sat down in front of the fire.
Yuan Yun saw that the armor on Xu Yi's body was spotless, without any bloodstains, and almost how he went, how did he come back, so it can be seen that the Jingzhou soldiers almost didn't even rush to the root of the wall this time, and they were so ruthlessly wiped out on the periphery.
Xu Yi felt the warmth of his hands before he exhaled and continued: "Our Gatling is really powerful, those Jingzhou soldiers are desperate to charge, the result is that they fall one by one, and the fifty steps outside the wall are miserable, the power of our machine gun is enough, but it can't be fired for a long time, and it will take a break after a while, and it will often get stuck, and these must be solved by Pu Yuan and Ma Jun." ”
Yuan Yun naturally knows that the most primitive Gatling has those drawbacks, but for these drawbacks, it can be completely ignored, in this era, machine guns are available, thank God, there are so many exquisiteness.
Seeing that Xu Yi had finally finished speaking, Yuan Yuncai asked, "In addition to getting you off the city wall, what other moves does the military advisor have?" ”
Xu Yi replied: "I have already sent someone to Zhao Yun's camp, let him start preparing now, it is estimated that when it is dawn, Liu Qi will inevitably take action, either to continue the attack or to retreat." ”
Yuan Yun snorted, then shook the wool slippers on his feet, and began to put on military boots, and the armor also made Xiao Liu start to prepare.
Seeing Yuan Yun like this, Xu Yi immediately pointed to his nose and said, "You are all attacking, what should I do?" I'm here to get military merit this time, so let's just put a few shots like this and it's over? ”
Yuan Yun smiled and said, "The machine gun is too cumbersome and not suitable for chasing the enemy with the army, so you can stay on the Great Wall to defend the city, and you can also obtain military merits." ”
Xu Yi immediately shook his head and said, "No, I'll go with you, in short, don't want to throw me here, that kid can now lead the army alone to kill, but I can only hide on the wall and put a gun, this gap is too big." ”
Yuan Yun sighed when he heard this, and said, "I originally wanted to wait until after I occupied Jingzhou to talk to you about this matter, but now that you have been caring, I will tell you a thoroughfare."
Among the few of us, every time he runs thousands of miles, or leads the army to fight, or goes to Karasuma alone, it is his turn to have physical strength and courage, which one is better than that goods, he is born to be a general. ”
When Xu Yi heard this, he interjected unhappily: "My family is also a military general's family, am I not the life of a military general?" ”
Yuan Yun smiled and said: "Your father is, you Xu Yi is really not, I didn't listen to your mother, your Xu family has reached your father's generation, and there are not many people who can write, and those who are as knowledgeable as you are are even more one-in-a-thousand, so they all look forward to you being able to enter the court as an official in the future, instead of fighting to the death in front of the battle like your father." ”
"Learning?" Xu Yi muttered suspiciously, and then laughed at himself in an instant: "My little knowledge is also called learning, so don't you want to anger those teachers in Luoyang Academy to death?" ”
Yuan Yun shook his head and said: "If you compare literature with those old pedants or something, it will naturally be bullshit, but over the years, the Beihai you are in charge of, as well as the reconstruction of Chang'an, and even your management in Luoyang in the near future, these are your knowledge, this is not something that old scholars can understand, these are more advanced knowledge, I think you Xu Yi has done a very good job." ”
When Xu Yi saw Yuan Yun speak, he didn't mean to sneer, and instantly swelled a little, only to feel that he was really a little blushing when he was praised in person like this.
Yuan Yun saw Xu Yi's complacent face, and continued: "So everyone is different from each other, Dianman is suitable for battle formations, but he is definitely not suitable for managing the normal operation of those workshops, and now the military exploits he has achieved are not something that you Xu Yi can surpass casually, no, no, it should be said that you can't surpass it at all, he can personally kill a hundred enemy soldiers in a battle, this alone, I'm afraid we can't do it." ”
Xu Yi cut off and interjected: "That reckless man, he has indeed grown stronger and stronger over the years, damn, I don't know what this thing eats every day?" ”
Yuan Yun laughed and said, "You don't care what he eats, now let me ask you, what are we going on this expedition for?" ”
Xu Yi replied: "Naturally, it is to pacify the north and complete the great cause of unifying the world." ”
Yuan Yun continued to ask: "After the world is unified, what are we going to do next?" ”
Xu Yi thought about it for a moment this time, and then replied: "That is naturally to recuperate and resume production, so that the world can be peaceful, since I understand this, I believe that those staff around the prince understand it better." ”
Yuan Yun heard Xu Yi say this, nodded, and said: "You are right, since you want to resume production, then expanding the workshop and increasing farmland are the top priorities, and when that time is the time for you Xu Yi to play a role, and will definitely not let Dianman this martial artist come into the future, do you say yes or no?" ”
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed, and after laughing, he patted his chest and said: "That's true, competing with that reckless man, I estimate that ten Xu Yi are not his opponents, but when it comes to managing the workshop to expand production, hum, those ten pawns are not as good as me, haha......"
When Xu Yi laughed, Yuan Yun had already put on all the black armor, so he left the camp with Deng Ai who was holding back a smile, and the two walked out for a long time, and Deng Ai finally couldn't suppress his laughter.
After laughing for a while, Deng Ai said in a low voice: "Master coaxed Uncle Xu Yi like this, aren't you afraid that he will find out in the future?" ”
Yuan Yun sighed, and then said with a wry smile: "What can I do, your Uncle Xu Yi has been trained in the past few years, although he has done things a lot more organized, but he still has the reckless root nature of his father Xu Chu in his blood, if I don't stop him now, when he really wields a big knife and dies, then he won't have a ghost if he doesn't strangle your master."
But what I just said is not a coaxing, and after the world is unified, it will indeed be the turn of talents like Xu Yi to start performing. ”
Deng Ai nodded, but still objected: "What the master said is indeed good, but like Uncle Dianman, it will definitely not be idle, after the unification of the world, there will indeed be no internal troubles, but the border passes are mostly barbarians, isn't Cao Zhang dealing with Xianbei now, there are still many places to use soldiers in the future, and it is more long-term." ”
Yuan Yun patted Deng Ai's head, just looked at the fire on the city wall and said, "When that time comes, Master, I will definitely not go to the battlefield again." ”
Yuan Yun didn't say the next sentence, but Deng Ai seemed to have understood, so he patted his chest and said: "Now that I can command five hundred special soldiers like an arm, I will definitely be able to command an army of fifty thousand in the future, and then let the apprentice go to battle instead of the master." ”
The master and apprentice went to Zhao Yun's cavalry camp with a smile, the lights were bright, there were soldiers who were being assembled everywhere, and the neighing of horses could be heard everywhere, when these Hu people saw Yuan Yun now, they were no longer like before they went out of battle, they would consciously put down what they were doing, and then crouched down and performed their etiquette to Yuan Yun.
Yuan Yun went straight to the cavalry's Chinese army camp, Zhao Yun did not stay in the camp tent at the moment, but stood in the snow with a few subordinates and talked about strategic deployment, although the heavy snow that kept falling in the sky had made their hair gray, these people completely ignored it.
Zhao Yun was the first to discover Yuan Yun, so he immediately clasped his fists and saluted, and several other partial generals also saluted, in the Hu people's military camp, Yuan Yun definitely has a very high prestige, because everyone knows very well that it is the intervention of the Hou Ye in front of them that makes them finally have a place to live.
Yuan Yun glanced at the appearance of several people, and suddenly smiled: "Why don't you talk about military affairs in the camp tent, but you have to be frozen outside?" ”
Zhao Yun smiled heartily, and then replied: "Maybe it's about to attack, now let your body adapt to the temperature outside, if you suddenly come out of the warm camp, you will immediately get on the horse and run, it is easy to get sick, so this is the arrangement." ”
When Yuan Yun heard Zhao Yun say this, he immediately stopped his steps to enter the camp, and then stood beside Zhao Yun and said, "If I attack in a while, I will follow you, so you don't have to worry about being attacked from behind, you just have to deal with the enemy in front of you." ”
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard Yuan Yun say this, and then said with a wry smile: "Kong Ming's military division just said, this time to pursue the Jingzhou army, the lord doesn't need to go, you just need to stay here, and when we disperse those Jingzhou army brigades, the lord can slowly follow." ”
Yuan Yun heard Zhao Yun say this, and immediately understood Zhuge Liang's intentions, fighting out of the city is not as safe as defending the city at all, anything can happen in the wild, and now he Yuan Yun is the nominal boss, and his martial arts are too unsatisfactory, rather than letting him go out to die, it is better to stay in the rear more securely.
However, since Zhuge Liang and Yuan Yun arranged it like this, he Yuan Yun naturally has nothing to worry about, so it is better to guard this Great Wall, anyway, once Liu Qi retreats, it proves that they have no intention of resisting at all, so it is just the result of being slowly eroded.
