Chapter 163: Dancing Heroes (13)
The next day, Yuan Shao learned that the trebuchet and drawings had been destroyed, and he couldn't help but be furious. Instead, he wanted me to design another set of drawings for him. But I said I couldn't remember how the original drawings were drawn, citing a recent nervous breakdown. This couldn't help but make him stunned for a while.
At this time, Li Wei learned that Xun You was serving in our army, so he sent an envoy Zhao Qi to order Xun You to serve in the Three Dukes' Mansion. In this regard, Xun You thanked him politely. Immediately, he planned to appoint him as the Taishou of Rencheng, but he still expressed his gratitude. So, Zhao Qi had no choice but to give up and prepare to go back empty-handed to resume his life.
Regarding Xun You's resignation, Feng Xian disagreed, and persuaded him: "With your intelligence, it is useless to stay in our army now; It's better to get an official position first, and when we are in trouble in the future, we can go to you. ”
Xun You smiled and said, "Why is the general so arrogant? With the skills of the two generals, one day they will have to build a meritorious career. ”
I said, "No, you're wrong; In today's world, it does not mean that if you are talented and capable, you will definitely be able to achieve a career, if you want to succeed, it depends on whether the people's hearts are here or not; Now that the imperial court has issued an edict to confer your official position, it is also an opportunity for you, and you had better not miss it; What's more, we may indeed be useful to you in the future. ”
Xun You groaned, then nodded and said, "Okay; However, Gongda thought that since the two generals were going to welcome the Son of Heaven to the west and return to Luoyang in the east, the land of Shu Han was dangerous and strong, and the people were prosperous; I intend to seek the post of the Taishou of Shu County, so as to contact Yizhou, and when the troops are sent to Chang'an in the future, I can help the two generals on the side; I wonder what this move is? ”
Feng Xian couldn't help but have some doubts: "At this time, I don't know when the situation in the Kanto region will be stabilized, so it is too early to plan the matter of going west to Chang'an?" ”
Guo Jia on the side said: "In my opinion, it's not early at all. ”
I smiled slightly, and agreed with Guo Jia's words.
Feng Xian couldn't help asking, "Oh?" How so? ”
Guo Jia said: "Although Li Dao, Guo Yan and others have taken control of the government. But those people don't know how to handle politics at all; Considering that they are all selfish people, infighting is only a matter of time; Now the land of Sanfu has been plagued by famine for many years, starvation is everywhere, and it will not take a few years for them to die of self-distress; By that time, the two generals must have already swept away the chaos of the Kwantung War. ”
I smiled and said, "Feng Xiao's analysis is still reasonable; However, it is only a few years, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to pacify the Kanto; Unless we can have a piece of territory to develop our power, the land of Kanto will not be able to settle down in the Year of the Monkey. ”
"Well, that's right." When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads in agreement.
saw Xun You couldn't help but sigh. He also said: "Gongda is to blame for this, if it wasn't for my proposal to come to Yuan Benchu before, maybe the land of Jizhou-"
"Shh At this time, I suddenly interrupted him and said, "This matter is tacit, beware that the wall has ears." ”
When Xun You heard this, his heart immediately understood, and then he said with palpitations: "Thanks to the reminder of the young general, Gongda almost caused a big disaster." ”
I chuckled. He also said: "We will definitely not stay long here in Yuan Shao; After Gongda left, it was useless for Fengxiao to stay; I think you two should go together. ”
Feng Xian nodded and said, "That's fine, just in case things don't take care of you." ”
Guo Jia also nodded and said, "I also have this intention." ”
Subsequently, Xun You expressed to Zhao Qi his willingness to serve as the Taishou of Shu County. Zhao Qi said that he would report it to the imperial court. And Guo Jia found an excuse to resign to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao did not keep him much and gladly allowed him to leave.
However, Guo Jia's fellow countryman Guo Tu heard that he was gone. So he hurried to chase after him, trying to keep him. In this regard, Guo Jia said: "Wise people usually know how to carefully look at their lords. Therefore, you can always make a name for yourself according to the will of the Lord; However, Yuan Gong only knew how to emulate Corporal Zhou Gong Lixian, but he did not understand what kind of talent could really be appointed; Although thoughtful, he cannot grasp the crux of the problem, and although he has a strategy, he is always hesitant to make decisions; It is too difficult to assist such a person to achieve the cause of the overlord. ”
Guo Tu also seemed to have some understanding of this, but he said: "I thought that there was no other prince who could be more talented than Duke Yuan at the moment; What's more, General Lu and Major General, the two outstanding men in the world, are now also serving under Yuan Gong's account, so it should be easy to achieve great things, right? ”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Don't deceive yourself; Yuan Gong is a person who is wide on the outside and jealous on the inside, and he is virtuous but jealous, and it is impossible to tolerate the two generals. ”
Guo Tu was a little surprised: "It shouldn't be, right?" ”
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Whether it is enough or not, we will know in the future." ”
With that, Guo Jia left on his own, leaving Guo Tu standing there staring with a stunned face.
After a few days, the weather cleared, and the muddy road gradually became easier to walk. Yuan Shao then ordered another army to be sent and continued to march along the valley to the north. He successively broke through the camps of Zuo Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Huanglong, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Yigen and others, and all the captured enemy troops were ordered to be executed by Yuan Shao. A total of more than 100,000 people were killed before and after, and it can really be said that the blood stained the mountains all over the mountain.
In these recent battles, the two of us will take the lead and be the first to attack the enemy's camp. Therefore, the reverence of the soldiers in Yuan Shao's army for the two of us has reached an unparalleled level. And it was also spread in the army, "There is Lu Bu among the people, and there is Chi Su among the horses; God will be incorruptible and brave in battle".
After being defeated by Cao Cao in Fuluo, he went north and returned to the tribe outside the Saiwai. At this time, he learned that Zhang Yan was in trouble, so he led thousands of people to Changshan County to help.
In this regard, Yuan Shao was very worried, so he said: "Jingcheng City is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the two entrances to the north and south are heavily guarded by Zhang Yanbu, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to win this battle!" ”
I said: "Zhang Yan's army has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and thousands of high-quality war horses, and its equipment and war horses are all provided by Huo Village; If you really want to fight in a real battle, it will indeed be difficult to resist the tens of thousands of horses under General Yuan. ”
Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Yes, I don't know if the young general has any good strategy to break the enemy?" ”
I looked at him and said, "For me, there is no war in this world that I cannot win; If you want to defeat Zhang Yan's soldiers and horses, all you need is a matter of time. ”
Yuan Shao said: "The meaning of the young general's words, I think he already has a plan, right?" ”
I replied: "Tomorrow, General Yuan will lead his troops to set up an ambush on both sides of the entrance, and my brother and I will go to attack the other party's camp; If the other side leads troops in pursuit while we retreat, General Yuan can lead his troops to besiege and kill from the side. ”
Yuan Shao nodded and said with a smile: "Then there will be two generals Lao." ”
Then, after leaving Yuan Shao's handsome tent, Feng Xian asked again: "Brother Xian, how many men do we need to bring to the battle tomorrow?" ”
I replied, "Looking at the narrow terrain of the mountain roads here, I'm afraid it's useless to go there too many people, just select a few dozen brothers with better skills." ”
"Hmm." Feng Xian nodded, and then sighed: "Alas, there was still some love between me and Zhang Yan, but I didn't expect that now it has fallen to the point of meeting each other." ”
I chuckled and said, "In the face of national affairs, the affection between individuals is insignificant; It's not our fault that it will be like this, and we can only blame the world for being too chaotic. ”
In fact, the reason why the world is chaotic is because people's hearts are chaotic. If people's hearts do not want to be chaotic, the world can be orderly, even if it does not need to be bound by the law. (To be continued......)
