Chapter 353: General Horse Manure
Zhang Xiang: "Brother Cao, don't look at jokes, how can I hand over Han Qiong to you?" Give others their own spears and attack their own shields, I, Zhang Xiang, will not do such a loss-making transaction. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info "The head of the Yan family was in a cold sweat when he heard it.
It's the first time he's heard such a direct refusal, and it's still Cao Cao and Cao Mengde who are facing it, and he should turn the corner, Zhang Xiang's way of doing things, he can't understand it, how can such a person have today's status.
Cao Cao wasn't angry, it was strange for Zhang Xiang to give Han Qiong away, "I have to explain the affairs of the Yan family to my subordinates, you should know how to do this kind of thing?" It's better to hurry. Cao Cao left.
Of course, Zhang Xiang understood what Cao Cao meant, that is, spending money to eliminate disasters, Cao Cao naturally didn't care about these small profits, but those subordinates who made trouble cared, since this matter was caused by the Yan family.
Then this thing naturally has to let the Yan family come out, "Master Yan, you should understand what Cao Cao means, you can only get if you give up, you can't be stingy this time!" Otherwise, things that are done well will also make waves. ”
The head of the Yan family: "This is natural, even if the family is bankrupt, our Yan family will give Cao Cao an explanation." ”
Zhang Xiang: "We are not outsiders, this place of the Yan family can't live, this place will definitely be a place of two wars in the future, there are still a few vacant mansions in Chang'an, you move to Chang'an!" ”
The head of the Yan family didn't understand that the fall of the Yuan family meant that the Yan family had lost Yan Liang, and Zhang Cao and the two had to make a choice, since they had offended Cao Cao, they could only choose Zhang Xiang.
Chang'an is indeed a place to go, at least in a few years, Chang'an will be peaceful, "Then thank you first." Cao Cao is gone, and Zhang Xiang is naturally not interested in staying, although the Yan family stays.
But Zhang Xiang has other things, there are so many trivial things in the army during the war, and Cheng Yu alone can't solve it, as soon as he returned to the camp, Zhang Xiang smelled a strong smell of horse manure.
In the middle of summer, the weather is hot, this smell is rushing to the nose, there is no way, who can let Zhang Xiang's subordinates are all cavalry? War horses are really a class of soldiers who spend money, and the food and forage consumed every day are piled up.
The naturally pulled out horse manure is also piled up, just in response to that sentence, how much to eat and how much to pull, if you catch up with the war horse to eat bad stomach, it will be more difficult to deal with, this smell Zhang Xiang has gradually become accustomed to.
After all, I smell it every day, so Zhang Xiang is generally camped near the water, one is convenient to get water, and the other is convenient to wash the horse.
"My lord, we caught a spy." The soldier threw the old man in front of Zhang Xiang, and Zhang Xiang could see at a glance that this old man was not a spy, and Yuan Shao didn't have the energy to send spies at all, after all, the situation was already very clear.
The second is that the cocoon of the old man's tiger's mouth is not right, although the old man's tiger's mouth also has a cocoon, but the thick cocoon is outward, which is the trace left by doing farm work.
Zhang Xiang: "Who asked you to arrest people indiscriminately, are you sure this is a spy?" ”
"My subordinates are sure that the lord and we were originally washing horses by the river, but when we came back, we found that this old man was sneaky outside the camp, how dare ordinary people approach the camp! It's too late to hide? There is some truth to this statement.
"The general is wronged, the villain is a nearby commoner, and he knows that there is a lot of horse manure in the vicinity, so he wants to get some fertilizer for his thin field." Hearing these words, Zhang Xiang believed seven points.
Zhang Xiang: "You want horse manure, right?" You can have as much as you want, you can go back and call for it, and let the people in the neighborhood come here to collect horse manure. The old man immediately ran out.
Seeing that the old man ran away, "You follow him well, if it is really the people, then forget it, if not, kill him on the spot." "After all, there is still a three-point possibility, this old man, he is a spy.
After the news of horse manure was dispersed, the people of ten miles and eight towns rushed over, and even Zhang Xiang saw the donkey cart in it, it seems that the war is like that for the people, and the days always have to pass.
In the past ten years, the war of the Han Dynasty has continued, and the common people are not surprised, because of the matter of sending horse manure, Zhang Xiang also got a good reputation called General Ma Manure, which made Zhang Xiang cry and laugh.
Zhang Xiang was glad that Guo Jia had returned to Yongzhou, otherwise he would definitely not have let go of this opportunity to ridicule here, because of such a trivial matter as horse manure, Zhang Xiang's action was delayed, of course, Zhang Xiang did it on purpose.
It can be regarded as a seemingly reasonable, but in fact, bullshit excuse, and Yuan Shao's body is getting worse and weaker, and there are rumors in the army that Yuan Shao's limit is approaching, and at this time Yuan Xi and Yuan Tan will inevitably have thoughts.
Yuan Tan was a cut above Yuan Xi because of the help of senior cadres, but it was at this time that Feng Ao came out, and Feng Ao dragged his seriously injured body to support Yuan Xi, so as not to let Yuan Xi be defeated.
After the two sides held each other for half a month, Yan Liang also led people to retreat to Youzhou, Yan Liang's side suffered the most losses not from the soldiers but from the generals, the soldiers are easy to recruit but the generals are hard to find! So Feng Ao, who was seriously injured, was also reused.
Zhang Xiang has always wanted to take a step and finally walked out, and it was not in vain that Feng Ao personally harmed himself, there were more than 100,000 soldiers who retreated from Jizhou to Youzhou, and there were nearly 200,000 people in Youzhou.
Yuan Jun's open palm was finally clenched into a fist, if Yuan Shao didn't die, Yuan Jun might still have some hope, but unfortunately the Yuan family was destined to have no chance to turn over, and on the third day when Yan Liang brought people back, Yuan Shao had already died.
Yuan Shao was very energetic before he died, Yuan Shao knew what his situation was, and returning to the light also meant that the deadline was approaching, and finally Yuan Shao decided to support Yuan Xi to take the position, and Yuan Tan was stronger than Yuan Xi in all aspects.
It's a pity that Yuan Tan's wolf ambition is useless, although Yuan Xi is an incompetent person, he can still save his life under the protection of Yan Liang and others, at least he can keep the last trace of the Yuan family's bloodline.
Yuan Shao's last words, Yan Liangwen Chou was frustrated and judged to be followed, with the support of these four people, Yuan Xi successfully ascended to the throne, and Feng Ao also followed the rising tide and became a general second only to Yan Liangwen Chou, which can be described as a step to the sky.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, Yuan Xi's support for his own people is naturally understandable, Yuan Xi has a weak personality, so naturally he will not kill Yuan Tan, but he deliberately suppressed it, but unfortunately Yuan Tan did not appreciate it.
He is the eldest son, Yuan Tan felt that Yuan Xi's current position should have been his own, so he took refuge in Cao Cao in a fit of anger, which is no different from recognizing a thief as his father.
There is no way to take refuge in Cao Cao, Yuan Tan took refuge in Cao Cao, which is even worse for the weak Yuan Jun, Zhang Xiang doesn't want to step on it at this time, Yuan Xi can't pose a threat to Zhang Xiang.
There is no need for Zhang Xiang to be wiped out, the living Yuan family forces are more useful to Zhang Xiang, and it was at this time that Zhang Xiang received a letter from home, and the content of it was just a trivial matter in the house.
It's just that the hot weather little Zhang Ming had some rashes on his body, so Zhang Xiang took advantage of the topic, saying that his only son was seriously ill and had to withdraw from the army, and left directly without giving Cao Cao a chance to dissuade him.
Zhang Xiang came so suddenly, which naturally made Cao Cao very angry, but he was helpless, Youzhou was what Zhang Xiang deserved after all, since Zhang Xiang didn't want him, there was nothing he could do, it couldn't be said that he reneged on the covenant!
Since Cao Cao took in Yuan Tan, he naturally would not let Yuan Xi go, but with the strength of the Cao family's army, it was also difficult to take Youzhou, which was guarded by 200,000 Yuan troops, and finally Cao Cao had to give up.
Cao Cao didn't care about the loss of men and horses, but the consumption of grain and grass was too great, and without the results of the battle, it was naturally impossible to use the method of fighting to nourish the war, Cao Cao also retreated, and Yuan Tan was embarrassed after Cao Cao retreated.
In order to take refuge in Cao Cao, Yuan Tan has already betrayed his relatives, and no one is willing to follow except for senior cadres, and now Cao Cao's departure can make him anxious, so Yuan Tan asked Cao Cao for troops.
Cao Cao's most lacking thing now is not people, since it doesn't hurt if Yuan Tan wants to give it to him, but he doesn't support grain and grass, Yuan Tan agreed without thinking about it, Yuan Tan has never been worried about grain and grass, so naturally he doesn't understand the importance of grain and grass.
As a result, Gao Gan didn't do anything with him, and directly took refuge in Cao Cao, the strength of the Gao family behind Gao Gan was not damaged, and Gao Gan himself was also a little capable, so Cao Cao would naturally be happy to take him in.
So far, Yuan Tan has embarked on a road of self-destruction, there is no grain and grass Yuan Tan robbed the people's grain and grass to get the people of Jizhou complained, Yuan Tan also led troops to the west of Jizhou, but was beaten back by Zhang Xiang's men.
Therefore, Yuan Tan can only operate in the eastern part of Jizhou, of course, Yuan Tan did not make trouble for Yuan Xi, and finally Yuan Xi issued a bounty for Yuan Tan's head, and Yuan Xi now has only one state under his command.
But there are a lot of gold and silver things in his hands, so Yuan Xi doesn't care about money, Yuan Tan has been surviving by looting, and finally angered Cao Cao, after all, the places Yuan Tan plundered were Cao Cao's territory.
Yuan Tan's side was full of Cao Cao's soldiers, and he couldn't run away and died at Cao Cao's hands, Cao Cao was really shameless when he didn't want to run, and he asked people to take Yuan Tan's head to receive the reward.
All in all, Yuan Tan died in his own hands, which also proved that Yuan Shao's choice before his death was not wrong, as soon as Yuan Tan died, Jizhou finally returned to its former peace, and Yuan Xi did not dare to avenge his father.
After Zhang Xiang returned to the army, he began to deal with Ma Chao, in fact, before Zhang Xiang returned to Yongzhou, Yongzhou was enough to protect himself, after all, Zhang Xiang had already transferred all the foot soldiers back.
If there was cavalry, Ma Chao would have been driven away, and as soon as Zhang Xiang's 200,000 cavalry returned to Yongzhou, Ma Chao left Yongzhou directly. (To be continued.) )
