Chapter 199: Yuan Shao's Misunderstanding!
Seeing Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran again, Zhou Fang finally affirmed what Long Wu said just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe situation of these two people is indeed as Long Wu just said, without the slightest exaggeration.
It's just that when Zhang Jaw told Gao Ran that he wanted to join the Badao Battalion and told him about the experience of the two of them, Zhou Fang and Long Wu, who were on guard against the two of them, glanced at each other a little weirdly.
If what the two said is true, then on this trip to Gaotang City, Zhou Fang and Long Wu are tantamount to helping Sun Ling pick up two talents. Because with the strength of Zhang Jaw and Gao Ran, it is definitely not a problem to serve as the general of the sword battalion.
And as the two sides talked, Zhou Fang and Long Wu also noticed that both of them seemed to have excellent military qualities, at least in terms of the ability to arrange troops, they should not be inferior to them.
After talking, Long Wu first lowered his head and muttered for a moment, then looked at the two of them and said, "With the abilities of the two brothers, if you want to join the Sword Battalion, we are naturally welcome." However, this matter still needs to be decided by the Lord, and we have no right to appoint it. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Fang seemed to know what Long Wu meant, nodded and agreed: "Well, Long Wu is right!" If you want to join the Sword Battalion, you need to be appointed by the Lord himself! ”
"Didn't you say that as long as the Tyrant Battalion has no problem with his background and his physical fitness, he can join? Did the two generals think there was something wrong with our origins? But what should be said, we have also said it, there is absolutely no half-truth, if the two generals don't believe it, they can investigate clearly, my eldest brother was a military Sima under Han Fu before, and it should be easy to find out. Gao Ran thought that Zhou Fang and Long Wu were suspicious of their identities, and explained in a hurry.
Compared with Gao Ran's anxiety, Zhang Jaw was calm. Because he heard that Long Wu and Zhou Fang seemed to have something to say, and he didn't doubt their identities before he said so.
"Yuanbo, don't worry! Let's listen to what the two generals said first, the Badao Battalion has always had strict military discipline, and if it was because of the identity problem, I wouldn't have told us so much. My younger brother is a little anxious, and I ask the two generals to solve their doubts! Zhang Jaw first calmed Gao Ran, who was anxious to solve the problem, and then looked at Zhou Fang and Long Wu with his fists and said.
Looking at the composure shown by Zhang Jaw at the moment, Zhou Fang and Long Wuquan secretly cheered in their hearts. Even among the generals of the entire Sword Battalion, this kind of bearing is only used by Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong. According to Sun Ling's statement: If they are generals, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are the kind of handsome talents who can lead an army alone!
In fact, according to the conversation just now, as well as the bearing shown by Zhang Jaw at this time, the two of them were already convinced of the identity they had just explained. As for the other half, it needs to be investigated by the shadow guards themselves. Because with their strength, if they join the Sword Battalion, the people they want to serve are not as simple as ordinary Sword Battalion soldiers, so they naturally have to pay attention to it.
Thinking of this, Long Wu didn't want to offend these two, who were likely to become his colleagues in the future, so he explained: "Brother Gao, don't misunderstand, because with the ability of you and Brother Zhang, you are enough to be the general of my sword battalion, so this matter should be decided by the lord himself, how can we exceed our authority?" When we can wait for this matter, we will report the matter of the two of you to the lord! How is it? ”
After Long Wu finished speaking, not only Gao Ran was stunned, but even the originally calm open jaw and calm brain were also blown up a little dazed by this explosive news.
"Isn't General Long Wu making fun of us? Even if we join the Badao Battalion, we have not achieved an inch, how could Master Hou let us hold such an important position?! Although I wanted to believe that what Long Wu said was true, the brain that had regained its thinking still couldn't help but make Zhang Jaw ask this question.
Hearing Zhang Jaw's words, Long Wu and Zhou Fang looked at each other with a tacit understanding and smiled!
Others may think this is incredible. But this is true in the Tyrant Battalion! Merit is indeed important, but it is only a matter of reward, and there is also a question of promotion below the rank of general.
When it comes to the position of the general of the sword battalion, the first thing to consider is not merit. It's a matter of ability, as long as you have the ability to far surpass those captains, then you will be on it! Otherwise, don't try to convince the captains who scream all day long.
Thinking of this, Long Wu said with a wry smile: "When Brother Zhang sees those captains in the drill in the future, you will know, even if you have enough merits, if you don't have enough strength to suppress them during the drill, those little rabbit cubs, no one will definitely be convinced!" ”
Seeing Long Wu's wry smile, it didn't seem like he was cheating. Zhang Jaw looked at the Badao Battalion not far away with a bit of a blankness, and secretly discussed in his heart: Could those soldiers dare to openly challenge the authority of the generals?
At the same time, with the efforts of hundreds of guards and thousands of soldiers who died first, the mountain of more than 40,000 corpses that died in a tragic state was finally completely buried by thousands. It's just that the strange blood color on the ground, as well as the cold breath, no matter how hard Zhang Fei and Lu Yi try, they are helpless.
However, being able to bury those disgusting and fearful corpses, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao were already very satisfied. After a whole day, Yuan Shao and Liu Bei finally crossed the Yellow River with tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of people and came to Jizhou.
"My lord! Ling County. Ling County... Just when Liu Bei gathered all the people and planned to say goodbye to Yuan Shao here, the leader of the spies sent by Yuan Shao came to Yuan Shao and said with some hesitation.
The performance of the leader of the spies made Yuan Shao feel that he had embarrassed himself in front of Liu Bei, and the joy of returning to Jizhou was suddenly swept away, and he looked at him with a gloomy face and asked, "What's wrong with Lingxian?" You make it clear to me! What do you look like in a panic?! ”
Raising his head and seeing Yuan Shao's gloomy face, the leader of the spies was afraid that the next moment, the long sword on Yuan Shao's waist would fall on his head, so he could only stubbornly say: "Lord!" There is a Montenegrin Army in Ling County! ”
Montenegrin Army? Hearing the words of the leader of the spies, Yuan Shao first looked at Liu Bei, and then said very indifferently: "Aren't they just some mountain bandits and rebels, what's there to panic about?" Later, I will ask Yan Liang to take 10,000 horses to exterminate those traitors! ”
In Yuan Shao's opinion, the Black Mountain Army in the mouth of the leader of the spies should have flowed from Liu Bei's Youzhou, and there must not be many people, so it would be overkill to let Yan Liang take 10,000 horses over to exterminate it.
Seeing Yuan Shao's indifferent expression, the leader of the spies knew that he had misunderstood what he meant. Swallowing his saliva very nervously, he opened his mouth again and explained: "Lord! According to the observation of his subordinates, Ling County has at least 70,000 Montenegrin troops stationed, so that General Yan Liang only brings 10,000 horses, isn't it some... ”
"Seventy thousand is seventy thousand, what's the big deal? Yan Liang, I order you to take 10,000 horses to Lingxian County now to exterminate those traitors. Wait a minute! What did you say? Seventy thousand?! In order to show his calmness in front of Liu Bei, Yuan Shao interrupted the words of the spy leader very indifferently. When he gave the order to Yan Liang, seeing his embarrassed expression, Yuan Shao reacted, the spy leader said 70,000, not 7,000!
"Back to my lord! In Naling County, there are indeed 70,000 Montenegrin troops stationed, and only a lot more! Looking at Yuan Shao's frighteningly black face, the leader of the spies didn't dare to raise his head to look at him, so he could only keep his head down and say in a deep voice.
Seventy thousand? Seventy thousand! This is definitely the rhythm of a large-scale invasion of Jizhou! It's just that how is this possible, didn't the Montenegrin Army stay well in Youzhou? What are you doing all the way to your own Jizhou? Could this have something to do with Liu Bei? Or was it simply at his behest?!
These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Yuan Shao quickly took a few steps back, widening the distance between himself and Liu Bei. Then he stared at Liu Bei's body, his eyes were full of suspicion and deep defense.
If the Montenegrin Army was really called by Liu Bei, then there was only one possibility, that is, Liu Bei wanted to unite with the Montenegrin Army to kill himself here in order to occupy Jizhou.
"Liu Xuande! You are so calculating, you actually joined forces with the Montenegrin Army to intercept here! As the suspicion in his heart grew, Yuan Shao was angry, pointed at Liu Bei and gritted his teeth and said this.
As soon as Yuan Shao's words fell, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and the three generals of Liyi were all born in front of him. And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, although they didn't know if what Yuan Shao said was true, they were still in front of Liu Bei to prevent the three generals on the opposite side from suddenly making a move.
The main generals were tense, and the soldiers under him were naturally not idle, holding swords and pointing directly at the opposing army. As soon as the public gave the order, the battle was imminent. Only those people, after seeing such a situation, fled in panic from the military formations of their respective armies, fearing that they would be affected by the confrontation between the two armies.
All of a sudden, the entire Yellow River crossing port was in chaos!
Of course, Tian Yu knew that Liu Bei would not be able to unite with the Black Mountain Army. Because before leaving Youzhou, Liu Bei almost crusaded against the Montenegrin Army because of the affairs of Shanggu County, how could he have the opportunity to join forces with them? It's just that although he knows about it, Yuan Shao doesn't know!
Looking at the imminent scene of the two armies, as well as the people who fled in a panic, Tian Yu couldn't care about the difference between the top and bottom, and shouted loudly at Liu Bei, who was still in a daze: "Lord! You should explain quickly, if you fight here, even if you can win, won't you let those Montenegrin troops take advantage of the fishermen? ”
Tian Yu's shouting sounded in his ears, which woke up Liu Bei, who was also bombed by the news of the Montenegrin army's southward march to Jizhou.
Seeing the chaotic situation in the field, Liu Bei frowned and looked at Yuan Shao, who was being protected by the three generals and those who died first, and shouted: "If I really united those Montenegrin troops, now this situation is the best moment for them to attack, why have they not moved?" The Montenegrin army occupies my Shanggu County and slaughters my Youzhou officials, how can I join forces with them? ”
"Put away your weapons! We are allies, how can we face each other with swords?! Without waiting for Yuan Shao to speak, Liu Bei spoke again and ordered the soldiers behind him who were armed with swords and seemed to be ready to make a move at any time.
Could it really not be him? Seeing that the soldiers behind Liu Bei put away their weapons one after another under his order, Yuan Shao thought of what he said, as well as the performance of these soldiers now, and suddenly calmed down.
Seeing that Yuan Shao had calmed down, Tian Feng and the other strategists seized the opportunity, pushed aside the guards who were blocking Yuan Shao's side, and stepped forward to persuade him.
Under Liu Bei's first statement, as well as the persuasion of Tian Feng and other strategists, this imminent battle was finally quelled after Yuan Shao ordered the soldiers to put away their swords.
If Zhang Yan, who was waiting in Lingxian County at the moment, knew that because he was stationed in Lingxian County, he almost caused a big battle between the armies of Yuan and Liu, and he didn't know how he would laugh.
