Judging from the favorability, it could not be a spy, so he accepted these Youzhou soldiers. Along the way, a number of Youzhou captives joined one after another, and when I heard that there was such a place for the people's army, many people who did not have families were also eager to try. And the replies given by Yuan Xi were all "probationary" before being officially hired.

They returned to Zhaojiazhuang, took Kojiyi's coffin, and continued to drive south, finally arriving at Jieqiao. Along the way, although Han Juzi was not starved, he was dragged behind the horse all the time, and he couldn't help it. A pair of feet were also bruised, staggering, and kept complaining.

Finally arrived at the boundary bridge.

The conditions were simple, and there was no special ceremony, so Koji was hastily buried. Everyone was going to erect a tombstone and asked Yuan Xi to veto it.

"This battlefield is the best monument, and this place name is the best epitaph. Why bother erecting a plaque and telling people that someone is buried here? All merits and demerits have their own posterity to comment. ”

But Yuan Xi felt a little embarrassed in his heart. For Yuan Shao, this battle was indeed a milestone in the reversal of Gongsun Zhan, but for the entire Three Kingdoms, it was an insignificant stroke. Historians will only focus on Guandu, Chibi, and even burning Yiling or Wuzhang Plain, where will they care about such a war between the loser and the loser?

Koji Yi, you didn't make Han Xin after all.

When Koji Yoshi was finally buried, a military horse came from the east side of the boundary bridge, and it was said that it came from the pavilion. And there, it is Chun Yuqiong's station.

Chun Yuqiong has gray hair, about fifty years old, and a hooked nose. In this era, it really belongs to veterans. Ke Lianpo can still ride a horse at seventy, and Li Guang can still shoot a bow at sixty, so for a general who has been riding a horse all his life, this age is in the prime of life. If you are younger, you will be a little impatient, and if you are older, you will be too conservative. This age is just right.

This Chun Yuqiong is not a mediocre person. When he was in Luoyang, he served as the eighth lieutenant of Xiyuan, and he was in the same column as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Since following Yuan Shao, he has won deep trust and has always served as the governor of the rear army, but he has never fought on the front line. Let's talk about the hard work under the hands, I have never been in battle, and no one knows the depth. Let's talk about the dispatch of troops, there is nothing special about it. Even the management of the army is not too good. Overall, there is nothing outstanding about it, the only good thing is that Yuan Shao believes in him and gives him his back every time, and he has not made a mistake.

When Yuan Xi saw Chun Yuqiong, he happened to have buried Ko Yi. Chun Yuqiong, surrounded by several guards, came on horseback. Seeing Yuan Xi, he got off the horse with a smile.

According to the usual practice, the other party is an elder, and Yuan Xi can only salute first: "It turned out to be Uncle Chunyu, and the little nephew has seen the ceremony." ”

Chun Yuqiong took his hand, his eyes were slightly red, and he sighed with emotion: "Alas, Koji Yi, Koji Yi, just like this, it's really embarrassing...... I think about how high-spirited your father was when he took Jizhou. Koji Yi offered nine strategies for managing the army, laying the foundation for the first camp. Now, years have passed, and your father and I are old. In the future, it will be the world of you young people, I heard that Koji Yi will hand over the first camp to you on his deathbed? The afterlife is terrifying......"

Just after the burial of General Liyi, Yuan Xi's face has been calm. Lu Yi is a bit stubborn, but on the whole, he and Yuan Xi are considered to be equals, and they are also teachers and friends. Therefore, the feelings are also relatively deep. At this time, being talked about by Chun Yuqiong like this, Yuan Xi was emotionally aroused and muttered: "The matter of General Liyi is really indescribable. ”

Chun Yuqiong patted the back of his hand and said, "Understand, understand......"

Yuan Xi was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: This person is not the same as the rumored mediocre image, which is very interesting.

Chun Yuqiong let go of him, paused at the sky and Baiyun, and stood quietly for a long time before saying: "Although I have led the troops for a longer time than Koji Yoshi, I am not as good as him when it comes to killing the enemy in battle." It's a pity to lose this good general. ”

He turned his head and said to Yuan Xi: "If the virtuous nephew is not in a hurry to go back, it is better to go to the pavilion for a few days, I, as an elder, can also fulfill the friendship of the landlord." ”

When Yuan Xi heard this, he was greatly moved. The cloak was drenched in rain all the way, and the people's army had just been established, and a small group of Youzhou soldiers had been absorbed, and they needed a place to be properly rectified. Hearing this, Yuan Xi said: "You won't trouble Uncle Chunyu, right?" ”

Chun Yuqiong smiled: "It won't be troublesome, it won't be troublesome." ”

Yuan Xi pointed to Han Juzi who was dragging on the tail of the team again, and said, "This Han Cavalry Governor ......"

Chun Yuqiong snorted coldly and said, "Take your own humiliation!" The virtuous nephew just handed over the people to me, and it is my responsibility as a general to produce this scum in my army. ”

Yuan Xi's hand was grabbed by him, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could such a modest and gentle person be arranged in the post of the rear army all the time? According to this temperament, does it respond to the old saying, "Compassion does not lead the army"?

In short, Chun Yuqiong left a good impression on him at the first time.

But within a few days, that impression was shattered.

After arriving at the pavilion, Chun Yuqiong kept pulling him to drink. There is a small banquet in three days, a large banquet in five days, and basically every meal is wine. Moreover, this Uncle Chunyu is a heavy drinker, he sings when he is drunk, and he likes to draw his sword and dance, making a mess of chicken feathers.

After drinking it once or twice, Yuan Xi couldn't stand it anymore, not to mention whether the degree of this sorghum wine was high or not, just to say that this wine couldn't sit down and drink it at all. Yuan Xi then began to avoid this respected old general, and every day at dawn he went to the military camp stationed outside the city to give lectures. Look at the training of the people's army.

Zhao Yun's training is quite set, combined with the military training standards taught to him by Yuan Xi, and field development training has been carried out, which has greatly strengthened the relationship between the teams. Yuan Xi also asked him to design a set of individual combat boxing methods, similar to military body boxing, which can be easy to learn and powerful fighting techniques. In the individual combat of this era, it was generally won by the formation arrangement, or by stimulating the blood of the soldiers and overwhelming the opponent with courage. There are few technical improvements. Because the conscripts are all peasants, who have carried hoes all their lives, how can they have time to train in such detail. Often, as long as you dare to pick up a weapon and cut people, you can go to the battlefield.

The first campers are all elites, and characters like Xu Dayan are also extraordinary. But compared with Zhao Yunyi, it is still a lot inferior. After all, Zhao Yun is still a general who is famous for his martial arts, and his kung fu will not be bad. Xu Dayan and the others hit the stone, and they were also convinced by Zhao Yun.

In the evening, a bonfire was lit in the camp, and Yuan Xi asked everyone to gather in front of the bonfire and talk freely, telling everyone's mental journey and expectations for participating in the people's army. In this way, this sense of integration of the team is imperceptibly realized.

Unconsciously, Yuan Xi stayed in Guantao for a long time, and it was time to return to Yecheng.

Before going back, Yuan Xi stubbornly agreed to Chun Yuqiong's farewell banquet. I'm about to leave, and here in Chun Yuqiong, I have received some preferential treatment, so I always have to thank you.

According to the convention, Chun Yuqiong still reviewed the struggle with Yuan Shao.

"You may wonder, I Chun Yuqiong is also one of the eight captains of the West Garden, why am I willing to follow your father, and I stay at the back every time, and I am willing to be lonely? You must know that I was a fierce general in the West Park Captain back then, which is different from those officials bought by the sons of the family. I grabbed this position with real knives and guns. ”

Yuan Xi drank some wine with him, and then chatted. Wine is a good thing, two people who were originally unfamiliar with each other drank wine, and their favorability rose gradually, and they could talk about any topic, but after they woke up, they couldn't remember sensitive topics again. The effect is excellent.

Yuan Xi asked, "Why?" ”
