Chapter 121 The situation has changed abruptly

Chapter 121 The situation has changed abruptly

The warm sun is shining, and the banks of the big river in May present a vibrant scene.

But unlike in previous years, there were far fewer farmers in the fields, and many of the fields were barren there, and the grass grew so tall that everyone who saw it sighed.

"Brother Qi, tell me, what is this called? Don't let you plant it, what is it tossing about? ”

"I said Junko, keep your voice down! Don't let General Chunyu hear it, isn't it enough to be whipped thirty lashes last time? General Chun Yu has made a military order, who dares to shake the heart of the army in the army, and he will not be forgiven! ”

"Just allow them to command indiscriminately, and don't allow us to be imprisoned, in this world, there is really no reason to talk about it."

"Okay, you just say a few words, the world is like this, what can you do as a flat-headed person? Aren't you still enduring it and waiting for rìzi to get better? ”

The man who sent the prison sāo was a young man in his twenties, and the one who had been giving advice was a rather honest-looking middle-aged man, and the two of them walked in the westward march one after the other.

When the former was in prison, his eyes were always fixed on the farmland on both sides of the river; The latter had been advising his companions, but he was not far from the farmland. It can be seen that although these two people are very different, their love for the land is the same.

"It's still good when General Wang is here, at that time...... Not! He couldn't go on halfway through his words, because his mouth was covered by his companion.

"You don't want to die? How dare you mention that name? Don't know if this is the biggest taboo? If you are heard by the people above, no one will be able to save your life! Brother Naqi's gaze finally shifted from the field, and he looked around nervously, until he found that there was no one who looked like an officer or a staff member, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand covering his companion's mouth also loosened.

"Huh......" The young man took a few deep breaths and complained: "Brother Qi, your hand is too heavy, and you almost strangled me to death." Tell me how can those old men not be able to provoke the king...... Hard stubble, you know to be angry with us little soldiers! I knew that I shouldn't have gone home in the first place, I heard that the general is now going to Nanyang, and after joining forces with the highway general, he will fight back! ”

"Alas, calling back and forth, this field is barren after all, chūn does not cultivate in summer, and it will not be harvested in autumn, and this winter ......" Under the warm sun, the middle-aged man shivered and lamented: "I'm afraid I'm going to be sad!" ”

The young man was concerned, and his resentment was even more irrepressible, and just as he was about to open his mouth to agree, he saw a carriage coming up from behind the team, and he hurriedly reminded: "Brother Qi, shut down, someone is coming!" ”

In addition to the commander General Yuan, there were only those famous people who rode in the army, and these people were all high and powerful, and the words they heard were more terrible than those heard by General Chunyu.

General Chun Yu just beats people, and he counts after the fight; And these celebrities like to convict first, and then kill, fall into their hands, and they don't feel at ease when they die!

The soldiers looked at the carriage blankly and closed their mouths tightly, but the people in the carriage were not pleased, and they also frowned.

"Ziyuan, changing the order every day is a taboo in the army, not to mention going back and forth on the march? Judging from the teachings, the morale of the army is now low, and the sergeants have many grievances, and when it comes to the battle, I am afraid that it will ......"

"Isn't it Feng Yuantu and Guo Gongze who are obstructing them?"

Xu You gritted his teeth and said: "When I return from Luoyang, I will show my lord, Luoyang is about to change, it is better to make plans as soon as possible and march as soon as possible!" It's hateful that Feng Yuan Tu ridiculed me for not acting secretly, and Guo Gong had no plan, advocating waiting for changes, singing and harmonizing, which shook the mind of the lord, so that he missed the opportunity, which is really hateful! ”

As he spoke, he sighed: "If it weren't for these two useless villains, Gonghe would have been able to sit high in Luoyang City when he came this time, where would he stumble on the road?" Alas! ”

"Since Yuan Gongxin values Guo and Feng, why did he ...... before?"

"It's a long story......"

Xu You sighed again, his face was slightly embarrassed: "Duke Yuan came from the family of the fourth and third dukes, and he has great ambitions since he was a child, and he is very polite and virtuous, so he is widely famous. However, this etiquette is too much, and it is inevitable that there is something inappropriate, and the same as You, Guo Gong is also a famous Confucian scholar, known as a talent, when there are different opinions, the lord is inevitably a little embarrassed, it is ......"

To put it bluntly, Yuan Shao is soft in his ears, and no matter how much he whitewashes it, it is useless. Xu Yu is not stupid, and he will not treat the brilliant frustrated and frustrated prince in front of him as a fool, and after a little cover-up, he said bluntly: "The lord has heard the name of the lord and his brother for a long time, and he has been thirsty for a long time. ”

"Again?" Frustrated was taken aback. As far as he knew, in the past two months, Yuan Shao had tossed back and forth several times.

The first time was after Wang Yu and Gongsun Zan retreated, Yuan Shao exhausted his troops in Hanoi, and looted among the people, gathered an army of 50,000, and then led the army to move in the direction of Mengjin.

Halfway through, as soon as I arrived near Yewang, I received the latest information from Hedong. Yuan Shao was frightened and retreated to the county seat, leaving only Zhang Yang's thousands of soldiers and horses to garrison the wild king.

Later, Cao Cāo raised troops to the west, and after hearing the news, the lord of the Yuan League couldn't sit still, and as a result, he was halfway there, and for some reason, he changed his mind halfway and went back to the county town.

Fu Zhu didn't know the specific situation, but according to what he knew so far, it was likely that after receiving the news that the Northern Army had left Beijing to face the battle, a certain celebrity persuaded Yuan Shao again to let him sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and wait until the right time to have a sandpiper and a clam to compete for the fisherman's profit.

Then, the unbelievable news also came out.

Luoyang fire! The people fled! The Xiliang army and the Bingzhou army turned against each other, and after the fire and a battle in the city, they divided their own things! At this point, the Xiliang Army has been weakened to the extreme, and no matter how you look at it, it won't be able to jump for a few days.

After receiving the news, the leader of the Yuan League woke up like a dream and felt remorseful, so there was a third westward advance.

As soon as Cao Cāo sent out his troops, Luoyang knew that the Xiliang army was nervous, and Luoyang City was also panicked. But with the same army of 50,000, Yuan Shao did not cause any movement.

Thinking about it, he tossed back and forth two or three times, who knows if he really wants to attack Luoyang, or if he is a suspicious plan? Li Ru is not stupid, Dong Zhuo is not stupid, of course he will not take Yuan Shao to heart.

"Why do you repeat this time?" However, this time, even with his intelligence, he couldn't guess that Yuan Shao had any other reason to withdraw from the army. Isn't Luoyang at the moment?

Xu You replied with a wry smile: "It's not because of Lu Bu. ”

"Lu Fengxian?" Frustrated.

"When Luoyang was in turmoil, the Xiliang army and the Bingzhou army fought hard, and in the end, the Bingzhou army had the upper hand, but they had neither food and grass, nor the intention of attacking the city, so after the victory, the whole army crossed the river, and the intention was unknown."

Xu You explained: "You think that Lu Bu is unparalleled in his martial arts, and the generals under his command are quite loyal and brave, so they can take the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to help ......."

"That's true." Frustrated with a slight bow.

Two months ago, Wang Yu drew with Lu Bu, and the world was surprised; Now it's the other way around, when people talk about Lu Bu, they all say that Lu Bu is the only one who can fight Wang Yu.

These two statements are similar on the surface, but the actual meanings are very different, at least for the party Lu Bu. However, for onlookers, it doesn't really matter, as long as you know that these two people are very capable of fighting.

In this troubled world, those who have great ambitions, no one will think that there are many fierce generals under their command, and it is certainly a good idea to recruit Lu Bu.

"It's still insightful for the prince and the brother," Xu Yu said with a relative: "But Guo Gong didn't think so, he said to the lord: Lu Bu changed his master three times, regarded loyalty and righteousness as nothing, and was also arrogant and domineering, turning against each other at every turn, and sheltering this person was not only not beneficial to his reputation, but also had many hidden dangers, so he ......"

Fu Zhu answered: "Yuan Gong hesitated again? ”

Xu You smiled bitterly, but acquiesced.

"The lord is good, and there are indeed many inappropriateness in saying that it is not good, but overall, it is a wise and benevolent lord! Gong and brother only need to compare Yuan Gong and Han Gongjie a little, this superior and inferior, Han Gongjie is indecisive and unscrupulous, and he still refuses to admonish, Gong and brother are so talented, they cannot be reused in Jizhou, Yuan Gong is still ......"

"Don't worry if you are far away, teach yourself to know it." Frustrated to know what Xu Yu meant, the other party took great pains to find himself, just to help him, and naturally he was very worried that after hearing about these many strange things, he would turn around and leave.

However, he didn't know anything, so he crashed in, as Xu You said, Kenna's advice, after all, is not a shortcoming, the reason why he often sways is probably just because several staff members have similar reputations and talents, and it is difficult to hold each other.

His own talent and reputation are better than Guo Tu and Feng Ji, and it is better to find someone who is willing to be reasonable and knows how to be a corporal of etiquette to assist than to be depressed in Jizhou.

"So, now that you can't bring the Bingzhou army and horses under your command, it's not good to rashly march into conflict with Lu Bu, so Yuan Gong intends to withdraw again?"

"Exactly." Xu You nodded, lowered his voice and said: "Gong and brother, this time you and I will join forces to persuade the lord, even if you don't accept Lu Bu, you can also use his money and food to attack Luoyang together!" Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo have become mortal enemies, if they have food and grass to back up, they will not shirk......"

"But Mr. Ziyuan's car?" Before he finished speaking, a shout suddenly came from the front, and it seemed that it was coming for Xu You.

"What is the matter here?" Xu You leaned out of the window and asked impatiently.

"Mr. Ziyuan, the lord has summoned you to see you quickly, there is an urgent military situation to discuss!"

Xu You frowned: "Urgent military situation? Lu Bu has an abnormality? ”

The herald looked left and right, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this, he leaned into Xu You's ear and whispered: "The last general doesn't know the details, I only heard that General Cao is here!" ”

"Which General Cao?" Xu You's brows furrowed even tighter, "Could it be Cao Mengde?" He was not in the army at this time, what was he doing when he crossed the river? Could it be ......"

The herald nodded heavily.

"What?" Xu You turned his head in shock, his gaze just intersected with Frustration, and both of them saw the incredible look in each other's eyes.

Cao cāo defeated? (To be continued.)
