Chapter 69, Xun Chen Liwei
Wen County, Hanoi County, this is where Lu Bu's marquis is located, and it is also where Yuan Tan's army is stationed today, as for further entering Henan County, firstly, there are blocking troops in front, and it is not easy to think about the past, and secondly, there is no need for that, because Xun Chen's plan is not yet complete.
There have always been two places where the world's most elite troops gather, one is the frontier land, and this part of the army may often face wars, so the actual combat power is the strongest, of course, Dong Zhuo's "civil war layman and foreign war insider" Xiliang army is more special, but the reasons are very complicated, and it is impossible to generalize; The other is near the location of the capital, such as the Sili School Captain Department where the capital of the Han Dynasty is located in Henan County, which is known as a million troops in its heyday, although it is an exaggeration, but the dynasty often stationed a batch of elite troops near the capital to better defend the imperial capital.
To give the simplest example, the original Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang was able to become one of the eighteen princes of the Dong Alliance for the first time, and he was still relatively high in the ranking, relying not only on the special position of Hanoi, but also on the sufficient number of troops under him, after all, Hanoi County is in the north of Henan County, where Luoyang is located, although the garrison troops are not as good as Henan County, but they are also the best in most counties in the world, and Wang Kuang, as the Taishou, naturally has the right to transfer troops, so that he can use it for his own use.
Although after several eventful autumns, due to various reasons, all the troops of the Sili Captain's Department have been greatly reduced, taking Henan County as an example, it is now possible to make up 280,000 soldiers and horses, which still includes the 100,000 Xiliang troops that Lu Bu had brought out before.
As for the headquarters of Hanoi County, there are also 70,000 or 80,000 people. More than half of them were ordered to besiege Yuan Tanjun, but the combat effectiveness is really hard to say, after all, compared to those frontier people, as well as Yuan Tanjun, who is also a battle-experienced man and horse under Yuan Shao's command, their combat experience is greatly lacking, you must know that the soldiers and horses that Wang Kuang brought to participate in the Dong Alliance were basically wiped out in a battle outside Yanshi City, and even he himself died in the Fire Bull Rebellion, and the rest of these are all left over from the original army, and the quality can be imagined.
But Xun Chen didn't want to be entangled here, after all, no matter how bad his combat effectiveness was. Really have the heart to entangle their words. It's also difficult to get rid of, it's okay to maintain such a confrontation situation for the time being, and when everything is arranged, presumably the other party doesn't have so much mind to put it on his side anymore.
That's just it. In fact, there is no need to have troops stationed here. The next state and county and Pinggao are also available. Xun Chen himself didn't have a definite place, and this was actually Yuan Tan's decision to come down, and God knew why he had to choose to camp here in the first place. Maybe he wanted to use this way to breathe a good sigh of relief for his Yuan family, just like he had been spreading all kinds of rumors here recently, all of which were bad news for Lu Bu.
This kind of childish behavior, Xun Chen did not dissuade it, and it was not necessary, if he could be happier because of this, it would be okay for him to go, after all, he had to thank him, otherwise he might not even be able to achieve this last wish, and he would inevitably regret it for life.
The current Yuan Tan can almost be said to be obedient to Xun Chen, Yuan Tan is not Yuan Shao after all, he has not accumulated such a deep prestige, and because he often falls into the disadvantage in the battle with his third brother Yuan Shang all the year round, he is unconsciously a little unconfident, so when he confirmed that Xun Chen is a strategist he can trust and rely on, he regards him as his right-hand man.
Of course, this is also followed by some troubles, for Xun Chen, after all, now Xun Chen has snatched the position that should have belonged to them in the eyes of some people, although after the loss of Xu You, Chen Lin and others, most of the generals under Yuan Tan can be picked out are military generals, but these generals are also the most arrogant and even self-esteeming people, they will not be so easy to obey a person, especially a fledgling like Xun Chen, at least under Yuan Tan, Later, he actually ran to all of them, even if Xun Chen has always maintained a humble and cautious attitude, he can't avoid the result of being hated by many people.
Of course, Xun Chen can not care, but it doesn't mean that this matter will not affect him, if Yuan Tan is there, it will be fine, otherwise the people below will have more cases of Xun Chen's disobedience, Xun Chen is a smart person, and naturally knows that he had better not make a small report, one will appear to be incompetent, and the other will only make the other party even worse, he is not helpless about it, but as long as they are not excessive, they are happy to turn a blind eye, so there is no dispute. But apparently these people will not give up so well.
"That's what they said?" At this time, Xun Chen faced the man in front of him, and the man seemed to realize that it was not a good thing for him to come to report the news, no one would have imagined that this new military advisor, who had always looked harmless to people and animals, and was more often smiling and humble, would have such sharp eyes.
He was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to say a word, obviously Xun Chen just asked him, but it seemed that he was forced to dare not tell the truth, which made him strange at the same time, but he was even more frightened in his heart.
Xun Chen didn't pay attention to him at all, only stood up, the man noticed that there were already a few Yuan Tan's personal soldiers by Xun Chen's side, the man recognized it, and there was a "gurgle" in his heart, even if he had no brains, he should notice that something was wrong with the situation at this time, Yuan Tan's trust and importance in this Xun Chen now far exceeded the expectations of many of their generals, so it is no wonder that Jiang Qi and other generals have not been able to win over, and people can see through it.
But now it is useless to see this, at this moment, this man regretted it unprecedentedly, but he could only let this kind of love bite his heart like a worm deeply rooted in his heart, but Xun Chen didn't care about his feelings at all.
In fact, Xun Chen is very clear in his heart, that is, these people who really make trouble are often cannon fodder, and their role is just to test his patience and bottom line, he has not acted before, just to see if these people really disagree with his ability. Or is it purely dissatisfied with his position, now that he has a conclusion in his heart, there is no need to wait any longer, although he is inevitably disappointed in his heart, the force that he is likely to serve in the end is such a rotten and complex inside, and it is difficult to become a big tool, but what should be done is still to be done.
"Lead the way!"
Although the man who came to report was just cannon fodder in cannon fodder, he couldn't live if he did his own evil, he made the wrong choice and did the wrong thing, Xun Chen had no reason to repay him with a good face, and he didn't immediately take him down first, but he was still of this use for him.
According to this man. Those people happen to be together now. Just waiting for the man to go back and report the news and then watch his jokes about Xun Junjun, which is just right for Xun Chen, and he can catch them all.
The man didn't dare to refute or snub at all, let alone deceive Xun Chen. Now just standing in front of the other party makes him feel a lot of pressure. Xun Chen's cold snort. can let him fight the cold war for a long time, just silently leading the way, Xun Chen and his party naturally did not speak. That's it.
This is a tent on the west side of the garrison camp, and there is no figure next to it, which is also normal, as Xun Chen expected before, these people who are the most fierce in the fight against themselves are actually just cannon fodder deliberately pushed out by some people, since they will be pushed as cannon fodder, the status is naturally not high, seeing that there is no one around to help guard now, in addition to showing that their vigilance is really not high, it also confirms the low status, maybe in the eyes of ordinary soldiers like that man, he can barely be regarded as a big man, but in Xun Chen's opinion, they couldn't be any more minions, and they didn't take them seriously at all.
From the bottom of his heart, Xun Chen is also more willing to do this, abolishing these people can not only have the effect of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, but it will not directly tear the skin with the people over there, after all, even if these people don't use it, they can still be used, and after this time, even if those people still disagree with him, they don't dare to make any small moves, this is enough for Xun Chen, anyway, he doesn't have much time, and the future things can't be so far away.
What made the man even more frightened was that when they arrived at the place, Xun Chen did not immediately go in, but asked him to look around, and that's it, but the subsequent scene made the man almost stupid.
I didn't know when a figure popped out around the tent, these people didn't know each other, but it didn't prevent him from being afraid of them, the bloody and murderous aura exuded by the other party could be felt from afar, and so many people added up to the face, and the breath alone made people shudder.
The man didn't understand, since he had ambushed people here a long time ago, why did he have to lead the way himself? But I didn't know that these people were not actually ambushed here at all, but followed them all the way to the place, and only jumped out when they reached the place.
At this time, Xun Chen gave an order, and suddenly these tiger soldiers broke into the camp tent like wolves and tigers, and the men didn't dare to take a breath from beginning to end, just silently listened to the various movements mixed with screams, wails, roars, and hiss inside.
At this time, Xun Chen sneered, although he didn't look at the man, but the man knew that he was saying to himself: "Since you are unkind, then don't blame me for being unjust." I have given you several opportunities before, but I have repeatedly disobeyed my yang and yin, and I really think that I have no means to rectify you? Today, I will let you see, who really know how to concoct a person's land, is the most despised reader of you martial artists! ”
At this time, the figures were escorted out of the tent, and the moment they saw Xun Chen, they all shouted verbally: "You, a courageless scribe, will you only follow this ninth-rate path?" ”
"Why do you want to arrest me and others, if we do something, it will not be your turn to supervise!"
"If I want to see the general, I will take a good look at your ......"
Xun Chen was stunned, the man was already lamenting in his heart, knowing that the results of these people would definitely not be good, only through the display of these few moments, Xun Chen had become a bold and ruthless master in his heart, this kind of person did not threaten others, he had to burn high incense, and threaten him, I didn't know how to write the word dead.
Sure enough, I heard Xun Chen then say to a Yuan Tan soldier: "Push them all to the school field and show them to the public!" ”
"What?" The people who were still talking about the threat just now were stunned one by one, their faces full of disbelief, until the big men who bound them received orders from Xun Chen to drag them down, and they seemed to realize that this was not just Xun Chen's impatient words. Instead, it was really decided.
At this moment, everyone's mood is different, even if they don't have brains anymore, they can now carry it clearly, the one who can decide their life and death at this moment is the scribe in front of them who they have always looked down on, what kind of military general's dignity and the like have been left behind at this moment, if there is no life, how can we talk about it?
"Don't, don't kill me!"
"Spare your life, please forgive the military advisor, I won't dare to wait until later!"
"Yes, there are a lot of them. The little ones were offended and offended before. Please don't take it to heart, if you really want to punish and admit punishment, you can admit punishment, but don't do things that hurt heaven and peace......"
As soon as these cries for mercy came out, the whole camp was in chaos. However, Xun Chen's side has always remained silent.
Xun Chen also smiled coldly. "I'm just thinking of this now, it's too late!"
"Don't......"
Although it was a plea, there was still some extravagant hope in everyone's hearts just now. I just thought that Xun Chen was just putting on a show, but I didn't expect that Xun Chen didn't seem to realize who he might offend at all, and he really didn't want to give face at all, they naturally wouldn't have thought that this was self-inflicted, who told them not to give Xun Chen face before.
And after being dragged down one by one, Xun Chen didn't have the slightest intention of opening his mouth to keep people, so he felt a little panicked from the bottom of his heart, so suddenly there was a burst of misery to the extreme, and the sad wails of the people who heard the news were sad and the crying voices of the seeers, and the various faces begging for mercy were mixed into a look full of ugliness.
But in the face of these, Xun Chen did not have the slightest smugness on his face, and he never had the intention of retracting his fate, he always sneered, until these people were dragged down, and he didn't even change his expressions and eyes, but he just took everyone's ugliness into his eyes, compared with the arrogant scene just now, it was really ironic.
Some people are often like this, they don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, they don't die when they don't see the Yellow River, they may not realize that they are doing something wrong, but they often don't look back on this road, until they hit a wall and die, and they have to turn their heads in disgrace.
Xun Chen has already given a chance, since they didn't grasp it, he can't give in again and again, it will only make them feel that they are benevolent and easy to bully, after this time passes, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second time, if it is such a simple punishment and let it go, then Xun Chen will lose most of the meaning of coming over this time.
So as Xun Chen said, no matter how they begged for mercy, it was already too late, those men only obeyed orders, and not long after, not long after they were dragged away, there were bursts of "poof" sounds in the direction not far from them, and the crying was even more intense, not stopping for a moment, but it was also a few breaths before it completely dissipated, and everyone knew that those people had gone to hell - oh, it should be said that they had become ghosts at the moment.
Sure enough, it didn't take long to see several big men each carrying a dead head in their hands, Xun Chen didn't have the slightest expression on his face, but he said: "Put their heads together in a row and hang them in the school yard for three days to set an example!" ”
"Whoa." Several big men then led the way with their bloody heads, and the man who was still beside Xun Chen at this moment felt a little unable to even stand at this time, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive at that moment.
He didn't think that Xun Chen never thought about killing him from beginning to end, whether he killed these people or not was only in his thoughts, and he could do whatever he wanted, and obviously leaving this man was a natural propaganda, Xun Chen also wanted to borrow his mouth, plus these heads, to explore those people who had been hiding behind.
The lives of these cannon fodder characters are not worth mentioning, for Xun Chen, the most important thing is the attitude of those behind them, if they don't give up, of course Xun Chen doesn't mind continuing, anyway, what Yuan Tan needs most now is himself, from this point of view, he has a congenital advantage over them; Of course, if they stop, Xun Chen will also let this matter end here, and never mention it again, in short, it depends on their choice.
Looking back at the man deeply, the man had already lost his mind, Xun Chen frowned, but still waved his hand and led everyone away first.
After a long time, the man who was still in the same place muttered something in his mouth, and finally seemed to have woken up from a big dream, and the first action he made was to touch his neck, until he confirmed that his head was still on his neck, he breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and looked around, except for the faint smell of blood in the air, there was nothing to indicate that what happened just now was real.
Suddenly thinking of something, the man suddenly trotted up, and it didn't take long to run to the school field not far away, but because of the urgency, he was still a little out of breath, and slowly straightened up, but the next moment he felt that his body and neck were stiff, and he couldn't move.
As expected, on the high beam of the school field in front of him, there were hanging the good heads of those who he had just had the misfortune to have a relationship, and the man shuddered, and he felt that he was already wet under him, and he was completely unaware of an abnormal smell that was blowing upwards, only staring at the eyes like madness and whispering to himself: "It's over, it's all over......"
