Chapter 129: The Controversy of Shangjiang (I)
"Well, Zhongde's statement is also reasonable!" The horse listened to it and responded with his head bowed. At this time, Wang Lang replied: "Cao thieves need to be guarded against, but Liu and Tao's generation should also be cautious. He also asked the lord to send a general to guard the northeast as a barrier in case Liu Bei and Tao Qian raised troops to attack in the future! ”
When Ma Zongheng heard this, his expression sank, and he couldn't help but be cautious, and said: "Tao Qian is old and incompetent, so it is not enough to be troubled. But Liu Bei is a hero, and his subordinates Guan and Zhang have the courage of invincible, and then Fang Yue, Ju Yi and other generals are also generals. At the same time, he has Tian and Fu as think tanks. And there is Tao Qian's Xuzhou army as a response. I'm afraid that a single general can't hold it. ”
As soon as Ma Zongheng's voice fell, many people showed indignation, and they wanted to take the initiative to ask for help. But seeing Ma Zongheng's eyes turning, he looked at Zhang Liao instantly, and said in a loud voice: "If you want to resist Liu Bei, I'm afraid you have to be Wenyuan!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were all surprised. It can be seen that Zhang Liao is the chief general, and everyone thought that Ma Zongheng would send him to resist Cao Cao.
However, for Zhang Liao, Ma Zongheng's words were like a holy order, without hesitation, he immediately shook his spirits, stepped out, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "The last general will receive the order, the lord will leave it to me!" ”
"Good! At the same time, I will send you to lead the Flying Lion Army to wait for your allocation. Moreover, Wen Ping, Zang Ba and other generals will also be temporarily included in your army! "Ma Zongheng acted decisively, once it was determined, this downward adjustment, but it can also be seen that he is resolute and resolute. But seeing that under Ma Zongheng's order, Zhang Jaw, Wen Ping, Zang Ba and other generals came out one after another, and they received the order.
Ma Zongheng then taught everyone to get up, and then said with a smile to Wang Lang: "With such a lineup, does the prince think it is enough?" ”
"Hahaha, with such a lineup, the east of Yanzhou is as solid as Mount Tai!" When Wang Lang heard this, his expression was excited, and he laughed rarely.
Cheng Yu on the side, his eyes were shining, and he immediately answered: "As for Jizhou, Hansheng and I have already prepared, not only stationed a large number of elites at the border pass of Youzhou, but also completed the defense of a key city. But you can rest assured, if there is no accident, Jizhou will be foolproof under the cooperation of me and Hansheng!! ”
"Good! Then the next thing I will do is to start preparing while waiting for the battle with the Zhuxiong led by the Cao clan!! Ma Zongheng's ghost-like eyes flashed with a terrifying light, and when it fell, everyone was excited, not only was not afraid, but had the will to work together to resist the enemy.
And at this moment, someone suddenly reminded everyone, and everyone was shocked by a false alarm!
"The lord is slow, don't forget the people who fought in the past!"
In the whole world, how many people can compete with horses?
At the moment when these words sounded, a name sounded in everyone's minds!
Evil God Lu Bu!
Ma Zongheng's face tightened, stared at Bu Qi who spoke, and said, "Zishan said that Lu Feng called first?" ”
"It's this person. Lord, this Lu Bu has been in Jingzhou Taoguang for many years, but if he is born again, it will be extraordinary, plus this person was almost killed by the lord at the beginning, and he hates the lord even more, so be cautious! As soon as Bu Qi's words came out, Cheng Yu also became nervous, and hurriedly said: "What Zishan said is reasonable, although Liu Biao and our army have never used river water to interfere with well water, but Lu Bu, a vicious beast, has changed his temperament in recent years, and it is even a little unfathomable. The lord has to guard against it! ”
As soon as Cheng Yu said this, Xu Huang, who had not yet been assigned important tasks at this time, was shocked, and immediately rushed out of his voice and responded: "Hmph, Huang has long wanted to understand how powerful Lu Fengxian is!" The lord doesn't have to worry too much, the last general is willing to defend the south, but if that Lu Feng dares to send troops to attack first, the last general will let him return with a feather!! ”
Ma Zongheng heard this, his eyes lit up instantly, according to historical records, among the five good generals, Xu Huang was the best at defending, in the battle of Fancheng, it was Xu Huang who held the attack of Guan Yu, who was powerful in China at that time, and finally rescued the crisis of Cao's army, forcing Guan Yu to retreat. Let's say that Guan Yu was guarding Jingzhou at that time, and there was no shortage of fierce generals under his command, among which Zhou Cang and Guan Ping were all first-class brave generals. At that time, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, and Pang De were all defeated by Guan Yu, among which Yu Ban was captured, Pang De was beheaded, Guan Yu's reputation was so high that it was the ancient and the ancient, and it was Xu Huang who blocked the invincible Guan Yu army at that time, and the most amazing thing is that at that time, Xu Huang even used recruits to block the well-trained main army under Guan Yu, so that Wei was saved from disaster, and even Cao Cao had to admit that he was able to keep Fancheng and Xiangyang, thanks to Xu Huang's credit, and also said that he had the wind of Zhou Yafu!
Thinking of all this, Ma Zongheng couldn't help but be bold, and shouted: "Gongming is bold and ambitious, how can I refuse!?" Okay, I order you to go to Jiang for Liyi, and help Zishan to guard Jiyin and guard the south!! ”
Xu Huang was able to worship Shangjiang, which was a great shock, and he had already made merits in the Battle of Yongzhou, and most of them were convinced. Of course, there are also people who think that Xu Huang has been away from the Lord for many years, and now he can worship as Shangjiang as soon as he comes back, and he is not convinced, but he is afraid of the power of Ma Zongheng and does not dare to speak.
Ma Zongheng's eyes were like lightning, and he was mighty, and when he saw that many people were unconvinced, he sneered: "It seems that many people think that Gongming is difficult to take on this responsibility." That's fine, but don't say that I don't know how to use people. Tomorrow at noon, Gongming, you pick 300 elites, Wenpin, Gao Lan, Cao Xing, Zang Ba and other four people each gather 200 elite people under their command, who can break the Gongming array first, this position of righteous general, I will promise him!! Who still has an opinion!? ”
In terms of military merits, Wen, Gao, Cao, and Zang can be said to be the generals closest to Shangjiang. As soon as Ma Zongheng's words came out, the rest of the people naturally didn't dare to speak, and the expressions of Wen, Gao, Cao, and Zang also changed, and under Ma Zongheng's gaze, they gave up their orders. Ma Zongheng shook his head, looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Gongming, do you have any objections?" ”
Xu Huang's expression was shocked, and he said excitedly: "The last general will definitely go all out, and he will never disappoint the lord!" ”
"Hahaha~! Okay, then I'm looking forward to your tomorrow's appearance. The horse was obedient, and laughed loudly. After all the affairs were resolved, Ma Zongheng gave a few more words to the crowd to encourage the morale of the crowd and then ordered them to disperse. Everyone received the order and left one after another, and the one that everyone was looking forward to was undoubtedly the battle of tomorrow.
Outside the hall, Gao Ran looked excited, Zhang Liao saw it, but he was also happy for him, and said: "You must take advantage of Boyang's opportunity tomorrow." However, Xu Gongming can be so valued by the lord, and he is not an ordinary person. Moreover, in terms of military strength, the four of them seem to have an absolute advantage, but in fact they are not. That Xu Gongming fought unilaterally, and he only needed to defend it. However, the four of them have to compete with each other, and how to solve this problem will be the key to this victory. ”
"Haha! Rest assured, General, I will not fail your high expectations!! Gao Ran said with a shocked face, but he was ecstatic in his heart and said: "I, Gao Boyang, have finally ushered in the opportunity to be among Jiang!" ”
At the same time, on the other side, Pang De hugged Zang Ba, patted Zang Ba's chest and shouted, "Brother!" Tomorrow's battle but the killing is, the mother-in-law and mother-in-law are left behind!! ”
"Hah!! General Pang is exactly what I want, and I will definitely impress the lord tomorrow!! Zang Ba said so loudly that he couldn't help but hammer his chest and shout loudly.
"Happy!! Then tomorrow you can see your cousin Xiàn!! I'll come to my house later, let's have a drink tonight, and I'm celebrating for you first!! Pound's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly.
On the other side, I saw Cheng Yu and Wang Lang walking side by side with Wen Ping. Wang Lang heard what Pang De and Zang Ba said, and couldn't help frowning: "Hmph, I only know how to rampage, but it's just a puppet." Zhongye, you have both wisdom and courage, you are good at training and plating, and you have helped Yanzhou avoid disasters several times. The old man is optimistic about you. ”
"Hehe, I coincide with the prince. After all, in terms of merit and ability, this position of Shangjiang should be Zhongye. Of course, the lord also intended to move to the middle industry back then. On the contrary, Zhongye rejected it on its own. Cheng Yu stroked his beautiful hair, smiled faintly, and said unhurriedly.
"Thanks to the two Ming dukes who look up to Wen, it's just that Wen thinks that he can't do anything, but this time he wants to do his best not to disappoint the lord. Besides, instead of being on the top of the list and going around to fight for the west, I would rather guard the foundation for the lord to ensure that the people of Yanzhou are not lost. and training recruits for the lord to strengthen the atmosphere of our army. In the face of the temptation of Shangjiang's position, Wen Ping was still calm and calm, and as soon as this remark came out, Cheng Yu and Wang Lang couldn't help but admire.
"You Wen Zhongye, sometimes I really don't know what is going on in your head." However, Cheng Yu still felt sorry for Wen Ping in his heart, and shook his head helplessly, after all, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced.
And so, the night passed. At noon the next day, in the Puyang school field, Ma Zongheng and his subordinate civil and military officers were already sitting on the stage. I also saw that the various military units in front of me had finished arrasing, and in front of each army headquarters, there were all the generals standing again, from left to right, they were Wen Ping, Zang Ba, Gao Lan, Xu Huang, and Cao Xing.
Ma Zongheng's eyes were sharp, and after patting the armrest of the tiger skin seat, he stood up, and a cadre of civil and military officers also hurriedly stood up. Soon the horse strode forward, reading the soldiers and horses, and everyone responded one after another, and the momentum was like thunder. Among them, what particularly attracted Ma Zongheng's attention was Xu Huang and Wenpin's military department. But he saw that among Xu Huang's three hundred elites, more than half were shield soldiers, and the remaining Mo had about 100 crossbowmen and more than 50 pikemen. And Wen Ping's subordinates are all sword and shield soldiers who are both offensive and defensive, and the formation is neat, and at a glance you know that they are well-trained elites. In addition, I saw Zang Babu, but it was also all the same troops, but they were all cavalry. In addition, Gao Ran and Cao Xuan are both mixed arms, but Cao Xing's crossbowmen are the majority, while Gao Ran is more of a cavalry. Ma Zongheng looked at it and couldn't help but smile secretly, just from this aspect of the use of soldiers, you can often see the temperament of the commander. For example, it is undoubtedly Na Zangba, whose temperament is fiery and warlike, so he chooses the cavalry. Looking at the stable character of the clerk, the ones selected are all sword and shield hands.
