Chapter 26: Deliberation

Zhang He is a celebrity. However, it seems that he was mixed with Cao Cao in his memory, and the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms did not list the five son-liang generals separately for biography, and Zhang He was one of them. The rest, such as Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, and Lejin, are also first-class fierce men, much more well-known than Koji Yi.

Yuan Xi looked at the macho man in front of him, and couldn't help but say, "It's a good figure." ”

Yuan Shang touched Zhang He's arm with a smile: "Yes, don't look at him thin, he is strong here." ”

Zhang He and Yuan Xi had goosebumps on their bodies at the same time.

Yuan Xi glanced at Yuan Shang and said in his heart: "Is this a?" ”

Yuan Shao was dizzy from being quarreled with several staff members on the main seat, and when he saw Yuan Xi enter the door, he asked, "How is Lu Yi doing?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "The general has been doing well recently, he is actively training soldiers, and he is ready to go north." ”

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "From now on, don't call him a general." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Why? That's what the army calls it. ”

Yuan Shao was silent, and Guo Tu next to him said: "The imperial court has issued an order to make the lord a general, ranking above the three dukes." In the future, there will be only one general in the Han Dynasty, and that is the lord. ”

Yuan Shao listened to him, stroked his beard, and looked complacent. The fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, with a brilliant family background, no one in his generation has reached this position. When Cao Cao welcomed the Son of Heaven to Xuchang and proclaimed himself a general, Yuan Shao was furious, as if his things had been stolen. Now in order to curry favor with him, Cao Cao gave up the general to him, and he turned to a Situ himself. Anyway, the emperor is in Cao Cao's hands, and he can seal it as he wants.

Although this general was sealed by Cao Cao, it was an orthodox official position of the Han Dynasty in any case, and it was the supreme glory that many people dreamed of. When Yuan Shao was working on He Jin's side of the General's Mansion, he secretly swore to this position. Now that his dream has come true, he has become the leader of the Yuan family, and his younger brother Yuan Shu, who has been fighting with him all his life, can only stand aside. It's just that he didn't know that at this time, Yuan Shu was already planning to become the emperor.

Yuan Xi arched his hand and said: "General Dad, General Liyi trains his troops in the military camp every day with the white horse Yicong as an imaginary enemy, I think he has already made up his mind." ”

Yuan Shao listened to his strange name, felt awkward in his heart, and asked, "Oh? Did he make any other moves? How do his men treat you? Did it make things difficult for you? Has anyone in the camp spoken ill of me? ”

Yuan Shao's biggest worry was that the first camp would lose control and become a private soldier of Liyi, which was a major blow to his prestige.

Yuan Xi felt that Lu Yi was still a real person, although it was difficult, but it belonged to the dispute of the Great Dao, not a personal grudge, aside from his stubborn head, this bear-like man was quite kind.

"General Qiyu, General Koyi is still conscientious, and the soldiers in the battalion are also loyal to you. I have promised them that if the world is pacified, each of them will receive sixty acres of land. ”

"What?" Yuan Shao was happy to hear it at first, and when he heard about sixty acres of land, he frowned and said: "You are too small, if they can follow me Yuan Shao to fight the world, everyone will be a hero at that time, not only sixty acres, even if it is a thousand acres of fertile land." ”

Fu Zhu said beside him: "Lord, having said that, it is still too early to calm the world, and it is commendable that the second son can come up with such a method to win people's hearts." ”

Yuan Shao laughed and said, "Xianyi, sit down." You've done a good job this time. I'm satisfied. ”

He stopped Yuan Shang again: "Xianfu is also very good this time, and successfully contacted Liu Yu's old ministry and King Wuhuan, when the time comes, we will send troops, and his Gongsun Zan will be attacked on his back." When the time comes, let's lay down Youzhou, and Xianfu will have to remember the first merit. ”

Feng Ji said: "The third prince has made a great contribution this trip, and the lord can give him a position in the army, so that the third prince can also lead the troops to kill the enemy." ”

Guo Tu said: "Wait, this time the third prince's envoy is a matter of mouth, which is different from leading troops to fight." To fight a war, you have to appoint a battle-hardened person like the eldest prince. ”

Feng Ji said: "You don't let the third prince go to the battlefield, how do you know that he is incompetent?" ”

The two went toe-for-tat, making the atmosphere very tense.

Yuan Shao hurriedly said: "Okay, don't argue, Xiansi (Yuan Tan) has made great contributions in Qingzhou, and Xianfu (Yuan Shang) has made contributions in Youzhou, they are all the same." And Xianyi, hehe. ”

Yuan Xi muttered in his heart: "What do you mean? I was still boasting about myself just now, how can I compare it with my two brothers, and it becomes hehe? ”

Several strategists hurriedly flattered: "Congratulations to the lord, several sons are all capable, and now they have all become the lord's right-hand man." Yuan Shao was very happy.

Yuan Xi thought in his heart: "A group of people discussed and discussed, it turned out to be discussing this kind of thing. He raised his hand and said, "Dad, if it's okay, I want to go back first." "He really has no intention of continuing to consume with these people, and now that he is about to successfully overthrow Zhen Ji, at this juncture, you let me listen to your nonsense?

Yuan Shao beckoned: "Xi'er, don't go." Tonight, we have to discuss a general strategy for dealing with Gongsun Zhan. Don't go yet, just sit down, maybe you need to discuss until dawn, we have a lot of time, everyone can talk freely. ”

Overnight? Yuan Xi's heart was like thunder, and tears were swallowed in his stomach. You've got a lot of time, I'm running out of time, okay? If you don't do well, you're about to explode!

"Okay, let's continue the discussion, Mr. Tian, tell me your opinion......"

"I mean, the main battlefield is probably still in the area of the boundary bridge. Gongsun Chan is the best at cavalry raids, and last time he sent scattered cavalry to harass our grain route, which made us miserable. Therefore, this position in charge of military rations is the most effective expert of the Lord's Father......"

Several staff members began to argue again, you say a word to me, the conflict of interests involved, even Yuan Xi, a newcomer, understands.

In fact, it is still relatively easy to supervise military rations and transport soldiers' rations to the front line. But the main reason is that the composition of Yuan Shao's army is too complicated, in addition to the elite directly subordinate troops, it also involves the private soldiers of wealthy families in various places, and when distributing military rations, it is easy to have a bowl of uneven water.

And these staff members in front of them, more or less behind them, are more or less standing families, and their relationship with the army is also inextricably linked, and they are fighting for the head to win some real benefits for their forces. These families are either emerging landlords or wealthy lords who have been officials in Luoyang for generations, and the tycoons who are rampant in the township cannot afford to offend. For this reason, the previous three grain supervisors were all dismissed, and one of them was Yuan Shao's nephew Gao Gan.

War is all about logistics. Although Yuan Shao has a lot of grain on his side, it is mainly contributed by these landlords. The work involved in transporting military rations to the front line cannot be sorted out by one or two people, and as long as there is a slight mistake, it will affect the morale of the army.

Therefore, who will be the grain supervisor is equivalent to sitting in the crater, and Yuan Shao is also undecided. In his heart, he still wanted Tian Feng, who has always been fair, to be in charge, but Tian Feng's temper came up, and he was easy to offend people. The frustration had to accompany the army to give advice, and others such as Guo Tu and Xu You had too clear positions, which was not conducive to maintaining harmony. Later, Tian Feng recommended Captain Zhang He, which made Yuan Shao's eyes shine.

Zhang He is thoughtful and good at planning, and he is still promoted by virtue of his military merits, so he can stay out of the struggle of the scholar clan. It's a pity that his qualifications are too shallow to convince the public, and he once fought in Qingzhou, and was branded as the eldest son, which was opposed by Feng Ji and others.

When everyone was arguing, Yuan Shang said: "Father, I have a personal recommendation. ”

Yuan Shao said: "Oh? Tell me who it is? ”
