Chapter 62: Still Too Young

"Xianyi, is the matter settled?"

The official residence of the prefectural commander of Lecheng. Yuan Shao sat casually at the table, the pen in his hand did not stop, and he was engrossed in looking at the words in front of him. He looked a little tired, so he spoke slowly.

Yuan Xi doesn't know how to face this cheap dad, should he say that he is emotionally on the side of Ko Yi. It has happened, and the man is dead. The first impact on my soul since I came to this era was actually this kind of thing.

Yuan Xi said: "It's solved, but there is a request from the first camp to bury General Liyi at the boundary bridge, and bury it in the place where the white horse cavalry was originally arrayed." ”

"Well, that makes sense, too. Koji Yi has merit, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court's conquest of Gongsun Rebellion, and I was originally going to transport the coffin to his hometown in the plains. ”

Yuan Shao finished writing, exhaled, and then put the pen in his hand firmly on the inkstone.

He stood up, walked to Yuan Xi's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder with one hand, and said, "The imperial court will appoint him as a general of chariots and cavalry, and the seal has been reported, and he will be able to reach Xu County in a few days." In addition, I will have the best coffin open and bury it with the etiquette of the third prince. No matter what happened before death, this is still beautiful after death...... Anyway, you did a good job this time, and stabilized the camp for me. ”

Yuan Xi was silent.

"Also, I'll let Gao Ran help you take the lead in the camp."

Yuan Xi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Didn't you promise General Liyi that I would take this first camp for the time being?" ”

Yuan Shao smiled and said: "Naturally, it is in your name, but after all, you are my son, and you have never been in battle, how can you lead these soldiers?" It's good that you can take care of it more, but in normal times, let Gao Ran command the troops on your behalf. He is an old member of the army, and he will definitely be able to revitalize the first battalion. You don't have to worry about it. ”

In Yuan Shao's eyes, Yuan Xi is a nerd after all, and reading is not much better, so this war is naturally not good. The first to camp is the elite, how can a pack of wolves let a sheep lead it.

"Will the soldiers who go to the camp first obey? According to me, it would be better to promote a man from the first camp. ”

"You don't have to worry about that."

Yuan Shao waved his hand at him, put his hands behind his back, slowly paced back to the table, stood still, turned around and said, "Sun Tzu said, 'Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and death. These things should have been taken seriously. Do you have doubts about my decision? ”

Yuan Xi said: "The child doesn't dare. ”

Yuan Shao said: "Alas, it is inevitable that you can't figure it out when you kill heroes. It doesn't matter, you are still young, and you will naturally understand the painstaking work of being a father in the future. Now, let's do a good job of Koji's funeral first, and then take care of things slowly. In two days, I will lead the army to besiege Yijing, but I have been delayed for several days by the incident of Liyi, if it were not for Liu Yu's old troops and Wuhuan blocking Gongsun Zhan's route to the north, we would have fallen short. Now Gongsun Chan is sticking to Yi Jing, and that is where he died. ”

When he talked about Gongsun Zhan, his tone turned fast and he seemed to be in high spirits.

"After this battle, the entire Youzhou fell into my hands. Youzhou succeeded, and the state was not a problem. In the future, the whole of Hebei will be in our hands, the land of Hebei Youqing and the four states, the soldiers are full of food, and the soldiers are millions, and they will recuperate for two years, and the south will be the king, who else in the world can compete with me? Xianyi, you are my Yuan Shao's son, take a long-term view. If you want to win the world, how can you tolerate the kindness of women? ”

Yuan Xi hesitated, but still said: "Father's approach naturally has a father's reason. It's just that the child doesn't understand, if he goes south to fight for hegemony, if he is assisted by General Koji Yi, wouldn't it be even more powerful? Cao Cao and Lu Bu are all heroes of the first generation, one more person and one more help? How can you self-destruct the Great Wall? ”

Yuan Shao frowned, and then smiled for a moment: "The Great Wall? The analogy is interesting. I thought you had figured it out, why are you still entangled in Koji Yoshi? That's it, after all, you're stupid and too pedantic. Of course, from another point of view, it also shows that you are affectionate and righteous, which is a good thing. It's not that simple. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured, and said, "Think about it, how many people are eating with me now?" The officials of Hebei, the wealthy families in various places, those big families, and these tens of thousands of soldiers, I Yuan Shaoxing took a wrong step, that is, the abyss. When the time comes, not only Cao Cao, Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, and Liu Biao, but even my own subordinates will abandon me. People are like this, when they are good, they are like cooks and cattle, invincible, and when it comes to taking the road against the wind, everyone and everything will be against you. ”

"In the position of a father, you can't do what you want, you have to do what you want, you have to pay attention to the big picture all the time, you know. What is good for everyone can be done. Whatever stands in everyone's way, the Father is the first to remove it. What comes first? Being able to convince the public is the first thing. All it takes is one person who breaks this rule, and you lose that prestige. Then the hearts of the people will not be able to unite at that time......"

"Ko Yi is too aggressive, if he keeps to himself and is at ease as a leader of the first camp, then there will be no today. I'm saddened. When I first met him, he was just a ruffian, and he was also a pearl in the dust. I promise him to fight the world vigorously together and leave a name in history. That's half the way to that promise. ”

"No one is indispensable to the iron-clad battalion and flowing soldiers, and if there is one less Kojiyi, there will be a new Koji Yi. But in the position of father, only one person can stand. ”

Yuan Shao turned his head.

"Can you understand the painstaking work of the Father?"

Yuan Xi said: "...... Understand. ”

What if you don't understand? This kind of tirade, I don't know how much I have watched in film and television dramas. Speaking of thoughts, the thoughts of the ancients are far less profound than their own.

"Whew, that's good, you're just too easy to drill the horns."

Out of the city, Yuan Xi was in a daze, and came to the Xiandeng camp alone, he planned to explain some things, and then went south. The matter had come to an end, he felt physically and mentally exhausted, and there were some things that he didn't want to fight about.

However, when he saw Gao Ran, he was still unexpected.

Gao Ran looks a bit like Kojiyi, and he also has a round face covered with stubble, like a hedgehog. But Koji Yi's eyes are introverted, while Gao Ran's eyes are sloppy. Coupled with the upside-down eyebrows, he looks a bit like an honest farmer. His mouth also kept grinning, which made Yuan Xi wonder if this person had a bit of a problem with his brain.

Gao Ran, Yan Liangwen, and Zhang He are collectively called the Four Courtyard Pillars of Hebei, and their brains are naturally fine.

"Second son, are you here?"

Gao Ran saw Yuan Xi come to the middle tent, left his four personal soldiers, trotted all the way, came to Yuan Xi, bowed down and gave a big salute, and then leaned over and welcomed him into the barracks with a smile on his face. That posture, even if it is Yuan Xi, he can't find anything wrong. But it was only when he saw the favorability on his head that Yuan Xi raised his vigilance.

Someone who smiles so brightly at himself has a favorability rating of only 34?

When he just walked in, the entire Xiandeng camp was silent, and a cadre of soldiers glared angrily at him in this direction, and even pointed at Yuan Xi, which made Yuan Xi not very comfortable in his heart.

A few days after Ko Yi died, he hadn't come out of his mood before he went to the camp, and at this time, Gao Ran hurriedly came here to take over Jiangyin, wasn't he afraid that someone would make trouble?

Yuan Xi walked into the barracks, took out the talisman in his hand, and handed it to Gao Lan.

Gao Ran said: "Second son, you can leave it to me here, forgive these martial artists and don't dare to act rashly." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Isn't General Gao also a martial artist?" ”

Gao Ran's face sank, and he immediately smiled again: "Yes, yes, Lao Gao is also a martial artist." However, Lao Gao is absolutely loyal to the lord, and he will not be like the surname Koji. ”

Fortunately, they were talking in the tent, otherwise Lao Chen Pi and others would have heard this, and they would have to kill him.

Gao Ran stood beside four henchmen he had brought from the original army, all of them tall and large, lined up behind him, murderous.

Yuan Xi didn't want to fight with him anymore, so he said, "Then I'll leave it to you." ”

He walked out of the tent door, and immediately Xu Dayan and the other three came up.

"Second son, what's going on? Didn't you say you'd be in charge of the troops? Why did this Gao Lan come over again? Now the atmosphere in our camp is very tense, and the old Chen Pi is quietly discussing something, but they didn't let us know. ”

"What's going on?"

"I don't know, after this Gao Lan came, he showed off his might and said a lot of bad things about the koji general, and the old Chen Pi said a few words, and he was almost beaten and demoted. Now everyone doesn't believe in Yuan Gong. Lao Chenpi and his gang regarded us as the second son, and avoided us in everything, and we didn't know the situation. Second son, if you lead the troops, whether it is us or Lao Chenpi, you will be convinced. But what about this high view...... To be honest, we don't have a good impression of him, it's best if you can take us along, this first camp can't stay. ”

Yuan Xi had a headache.
