The itinerary along the way was very boring, and after seeing the natural scenery in front of him for a long time, even Yuan Xi, a modern person, felt bored, with only the sound of the wind and the monotonous crunch of wooden wheels in his ears.

Zhao Yun and ten guards scattered around Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi called Zhao Yun and asked, "How did you find these ten people?" He looks strong and strong. ”

Zhao Yundao: "It is the peasants who forcibly expropriated their land and lost their fields, squatting in the corners one by one. I saw that they were in good shape and had enough strength, so I summoned them, as long as they had a bite to eat. ”

Yuan Xi said: "It's no problem to look at the strength and body, but it's best not to recruit people with similar abilities and similar backgrounds." In a team, it's better to have different types of people, all the same people, and there are some things you can't count on. ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Then what now?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "Look at their performance, if they can't do it, they will go to transport grain, anyway, there is still a shortage of people pushing carts." In addition, if you pay close attention to whether there are people who often complain and say strange things, if there are such signs, they will also be resolutely dismissed. These people come from the same place, and it's easy to get together, and when the time comes, you will have to suffer. ”

Zhao Yundao: "It's still so complicated for just ten people? ”

Yuan Xi sighed and said: "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and I would rather have ten dogs than ten people." It's a bit disrespectful to say that, but you know what I mean. People are thoughtful, and you have to respect their ideas so that you can take their initiative and let them become a system. It's like a machine, you just set the parameters, wind up, and it will move on its own. All you have to do is set the rules and regulations, motivate them, and let everyone work in one direction, and they will do the rest. Don't meddle all the time, too fine, but not beautiful. ”

Zhao Yun was not afraid of a strong enemy, and at this time he almost broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said: "Although there are some places that I don't understand, it sounds very reasonable." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Fortunately, it is ten men, if you change to ten women, you will be even more miserable." ”

Zhao Yun had a question mark on his face and muttered, "What can be the difference between a man and a woman?" ”

Historically, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, which shocked China. Zhang Fei can lead all the soldiers and horses to run long distances and smash the CD. They are all first-class generals. Only this Zhao Yun, although he is very famous, he is famous for his single-handedness, and he has fallen into the title of daring. Yuan Xi felt the need to nudge him and let him go from an individual contributor to a team leader. With Zhao Yun's loyal, calm and resolute personality, he is a potential general. He may not be able to go down in history and become a ruthless character like Huo Quai.

At night, the breeze was blowing. Yuan Xi sat on the grass with his knees crossed, looking up at the bright galaxy, and really had a feeling that the sky was like a dome covering the four wilds. In later generations, the field of vision was filled with reinforced concrete, and this pure night sky could no longer be found.

I don't know who started first, but a low song rang out around me, and then more and more people began to chant. The tune is very simple, but the voice is very low, it is a completely different style from the labor horn, Yuan Xi was immersed in this song, and for the first time he had a faint homesickness.

Thousands of conscripted men, in order to give their families an extra income in addition to the agricultural harvest, resolutely threw themselves into this war machine, acting as one of the cogs. There is a kind of simplicity in their songs, telling their sorrows and expectations for the future.

Then the soldiers in the distance began to sing as well. Most of them are Jizhou people, a small number of them fled from Bingzhou, Jizhou people are heroic, and Bingzhou people are excited, mixed in the singing, all of them are integrated.

There is a question, Yuan Xi has always been thinking about what he should do when he comes to the Three Kingdoms. A few days ago, I was driven by hormones in my body, and I thought about women all day long, but when I listened to this song, I also woke up a little, and felt that it was time to make a plan for the future. The Three Kingdoms are so cruel that often inadvertently, they will become prisoners from a noble son. Only the strongest will have the last laugh. Obviously, the strongest person is Cao Cao. And he is Yuan Shao's son, so this identity is destined that he cannot take refuge in Cao Cao. Since you can't touch your thighs, you have to find a way out for yourself. Yuan Shao can't be counted on. There are also two mountains in front of the eldest brother Yuan Tan and the third brother Yuan Shang. Even if Yuan Shao is such a son as himself, looking at these chaos in his camp, it is enough for him to drink a pot. Now the bad is that you can't do it yourself, and the decision of major matters is in the hands of others, how to realize your will?

"So, the first step is to expand your influence and gain some power first." Yuan Xi said to himself, drawing a circle on the ground with a branch.

"This big battle with Gongsun Chan is a good opportunity. Han Juzi has suffered a loss, and he will definitely complain everywhere, so that others will know that there is such a person as Yuan Xi. It may be misunderstood as a gentleman. But no matter what, it finally left an impression. Next ......"

He drew another circle on the branch in his hand, and looked down in contemplation. Essentially, it's a matter of how a personal brand operates. Why Liu Bei is so successful is not a victory for marketing. As soon as everyone heard Liu Yuanjun's name, an image of generosity and justice, benevolence and love for the people jumped into their minds. Then there is word-of-mouth publicity, which spreads out as soon as it spreads.

At this time, Zhao Yun hurried over and said, "Oh no, two troops are fighting." ”

Yuan Xi didn't raise his head and said, "Oh? What troops? ”

Zhao Yun said: "This ...... I don't know very well. But it seems that there is a conflict between the two sides and they are going to the guy. ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "Do you want to fight in the nest? What a glorious tradition. Before he met Gongsun Zhan's White Horse Yicong, he fought by himself first......"

Zhao Yun asked, "Shall we stop them?" ”

Yuan Xi said: "What are you stopping them from doing?" They should cheer and cheer and let them play well......"

But he thought about it, isn't this an opportunity to expand his influence, and hurriedly got up and patted the soil, and said, "Stop!" I'll go and see the situation first, you take our people and follow them right away. ”

Zhao Yundao: "Our people? ”

Yuan Xi said: "It's the ten people you recruited." ”

Zhao Yun said: "The other party is a few hundred people. ”

Yuan Xi said: "Ten people are enough, this group of muscular and simple-minded guys, you are enough to deal with one." ”

Yuan Xi stopped talking to him, and saw the faint shouting of people piled up in the open space outside the camp not far away with torches, and the faint shouting sound, so he ran there excitedly.

Stopping him with one hand halfway, Zhang He turned to him and said, "Second son, they are more impulsive, don't go over, in case you are injured, it will be bad." ”

Yuan Xi turned his head and found that there was a neat and tidy group of halberd soldiers standing beside Zhang He, and the long halberds were densely erected, and the military appearance was extremely neat.

"Captain Zhang, why are you standing here still?" Yuan Xi asked: "Since you have arrived, you should go up to mediate, you are all your own people, what are you fighting?" ”

Zhang He hesitated for a moment and said, "The last general is just a captain, and the ranks on both sides are higher than mine, I'm afraid it's not good for me to go up so rashly." ”

Yuan Xi gave him a strange look and quickly understood. This Zhang He is good at everything, but he is too timid. He has no background in the army and is not attached to any force, so he is more sensitive, afraid of this and that, even if two soldiers of inferior rank are fighting, he has to see who the boss behind these two soldiers is. Otherwise, with his ability, how could he not come out after so long.

Yuan Xi said: "Okay, don't be afraid, just follow me." ”

Zhang He stopped, still a little hesitant in his heart. Now Yuan Shao's successor has not yet been decided, Yuan Tan is the eldest son who fights bravely, and Yuan Shang is deeply loved by his father, the two are comparable, but this Yuan Xi has neither merit nor value. I asked for my order to leave Qingzhou and go north, just to avoid being regarded as the eldest prince, and now if I am labeled as Yuan Xi, who is weaker than Yuan Tan, it will be worth the loss.

But along the way, he found that this Yuan Xi had some outstanding features, such as talking and laughing and retreating from the enemy, and accepting a fierce general like Zhao Yun, which made him feel that the strength of this second son was higher than that of Yuan Tan, and he didn't know where it was.

Yuan Xi waved in front and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go!" ”

"Zhang Junyi, Zhang Junyi, you are too timid, since someone appreciates you, when you are a friend, it doesn't matter if he is the second child!"

He shouted, "Everyone follow-" and strode away with Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi didn't look back, and didn't notice that Zhang He's favorability had quietly risen by 5.
