Chapter 18: Advancing in the Face of Difficulties (Part 2)

"General Tian, send someone to vacate the barracks as soon as possible, and we will stay here tonight."

"Young master, surrounded by enemy soldiers, please think twice."

"If you are afraid, I am afraid that you will never be able to control this northern army, this is the key to our survival in Luodu, I firmly believe that these rabble will not fight our ideas, and Tian Junhou, it is right to call 'Lord' now." Yang Yi smiled heartily and walked towards the barracks.

Only Tian Yu smiled helplessly, and he really couldn't tell whether Gongsun Yi was reckless or heroic, but compared to Gongsun Mansion, the military camp with Bai Ma Yi escorting was safer.

Even if there is a mutiny, Tian Yu is fully confident that he will lead Bai Ma Yi to fight his way out of the bloody battle and ensure the safety of Gongsun Yi, Tian Yu clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with a trace of essence.

Back then, riding horses and fighting against the Qiang people was much more dangerous than this, Tian Yu didn't take these rabble in his eyes at all, the only thing he was worried about was whether the elite northern army near the military camp would raid at night, but since Gongsun Yi was so determined, he could only defend with all his strength and fulfill his duties as a soldier.

In the dead of night, the crackling sound of the bonfire broke the silence of the night, Yang Yi lay on the bed of the barracks that had been tidied up, staring at the constantly swaying black shadows produced by the dim oil lamp, tomorrow, it will be the beginning of the control of this rabble northern army, I hope that the armor soldiers who went to inquire about the news tonight will gain something.

Before dawn, Yang Yi woke up and sat up, Tian Yu clasped his fists and saluted: "Young master, everything is roughly clear, as long as the money and silk are enough, these Northern Army generals will confide in every detail, and the so-called 'anointing' camp is really jaw-dropping." ”

"Tell me about it." Yang Yi was sleepy, and he couldn't wait to urge.

An hour later, Yang Yi, who was sitting on the bed, had cold eyes, his fists clenched from time to time, and from the information he obtained, the general He Jin had already handed over the famous 'Anointing' battalion, and all the generals of the lineage were withdrawn and transferred to other battalions.

It seems to be in accordance with the emperor's order, but in fact, it is obviously ill-intentioned, the subordinate officials sent by He Jin to transport money and grain not only threw the few military salaries, grain and grass at the gate for everyone to snatch, but also made it clear that in the future, the military salaries will be paid by Gongsun Yi, simply put, it is to cut off food and salary, and throw all the troubles to Gongsun Yi.

Through many inquiries, as Yang Yi had guessed before, most of the officers and soldiers in the battalion were relatives and nephews of princes and nobles, and most of the rest were servants and guards of the children of these officials and eunuchs.

The rest of the officers and soldiers in the north of the battalion who were originally recruited were all forced to leave, and the officers and soldiers of the barracks had long since disappeared, but the military salary was still reported to 3,000 people, so as to be greedy for military salaries.

Originally, the war horses in the battalion had already been assigned to other battalions, the swords, guns, swords, and halberds were rotten and dilapidated, the battle flag was lost, the generals were nowhere to be found, the officers sang songs night and night, and the officers and soldiers under their command did not even know who the captains of the battalion belonged to, and such a rabble was hopeless.

Yang Yi could even predict that once Emperor Ling of Han died and the general He Jin died, these armor soldiers would inevitably be robbed by the rebels, and the innocent people who died in their hands were unknown, and these people were even more deserving than eunuchs and relatives.

The moment he got the accurate news, Yang Yi suddenly became murderous in his heart, but Yang Yi knew very well that these people couldn't move, not only could they not compete with each other, but they also had to eat and drink well, and use the relationship behind these corrupt people to become the umbrella of the North Camp.

As soon as the sky was bright, in the palace dormitory, the terminally ill Emperor Han Ling woke up from the nightmare again, withdrew the surrounding concubines, barely raised his arms and swayed slightly, while Zhang Rang and Jian Shuo, who were standing on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to listen to the announcement.

"How is Gongsun Yi?" The squinting Han Ling Emperor's tone was low and almost inaudible.

"Tell Your Majesty, Gongsun Yi lived in the north camp, there was no bloody conflict, and he did not retreat in embarrassment, and the general He Jin happily handed over the military power, but he belonged to the 'Anointing' battalion."

"Interesting, since that's the case, let that Gongsun Yi make a fuss, and order it to go down, all the forbidden troops around Gongsun Mansion will be evacuated, and He Jin will report immediately if he has any moves."

"No, please take care of your majesty's dragon body." Jian Shuo took the order and retreated, bowed to Zhang Rang and retreated.

Jian Shuo secretly rejoiced for Gongsun Yi, if he went to Beiying to have a bloody conflict with a group of officials and eunuchs, or fled in embarrassment, the forbidden army lurking around Gongsun Yi's mansion would be the first to kill it and control Gongsun Yi's subordinates, so as not to escape from the capital in chaos.

On the other side of the General's Mansion, I heard that Gongsun Yi actually lived in the barracks, neither killing the children of the eunuchs to deter Xiaoxiao, nor fleeing in embarrassment to regroup, originally planned to take this opportunity to cause trouble to the east and lead the plan to attack the eunuchs in vain, as if a punch on the cotton was very weak.

"I heard that the two of you have been dealing with that guy, Meng De and you mistook me!" He Jin walked back and forth in **, and the meaning of blame was beyond words.

Cao Cao and Yuan Shao looked at each other, very helpless about He Jin's capriciousness, in fact, it was Cao Cao's intention to pull Gongsun Yi into the camp of Shiliu, and it was a repayment of the favor of the imperial horse in the western suburbs that day, but I didn't expect that with the development of the tense, Gongsun Yi was named the ruling Jin Wucheng.

Although the official is not as good as the captain, he is also a rank Qianshi, and Jiuqing is the same subordinate official, although he has no real power, but he was personally appointed by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

In this way, the original co-optation is like a forced threat, which is invisibly offended Gongsun Yi, even if Cao Cao regrets it, the matter has come to this point, he can only pay it to the high cabinet, deal with it coldly, and treat him with affection on the same day, so it is not selfish to advise He Jin this time.

It's just that it is useless to plead more at this time, Cao Cao clasped his fists and saluted: "General, although there is not much threat to Gongsun Yi's guest house, the northern army is an important place for soldiers, and I hope that the general will order to monitor it, so as not to cause trouble." ”

"Meng De is too cautious, the 'Anointing' battalion is only more than 300 people, and its combat effectiveness is pitifully weak, and any general of the Northern Army can slaughter it with 100 people, so there is really nothing to be afraid of."

"What I said at the beginning is very true, how can the little old man Sun Yi put it in his eyes, let him toss it, see if there is no money and no food, and he can't afford to turn over any storms."

"Pass the order, as long as the 'Anointing' battalion soldiers don't cause trouble in Beiying, they don't have to pay attention to anything, let alone report to me." He Jinping, who yawned, stepped back left and right, turned around and walked towards the bedroom.

Cao Cao was very disappointed in He Jin, how could he allow others to snore on the side of the couch, He Jin was good, he actually thought that he would throw the hot potato to Gongsun Yi and ignore it, thinking that he would stay away from trouble, but he didn't know that it was a tiger for trouble.

Cao Cao did not return to the mansion, and after thinking for a long time, he decided to go to the camp of the Northern Army, maybe this Gongsun Yi would become a strong reinforcement one day, and Cao Cao's impression of Gongsun Yi was not bad, and he informed He Jin's plan to repay the favor.

In the 'Anointing' barracks, when he was giving orders to a group of white horse yicongs, the white horse yicong who was on duty outside walked in to report to Cao Cao and asked to see him, Yang Yi was slightly stunned, obviously did not understand the purpose of Cao Cao's coming, and said in a deep silence: "Please." ”

"Lord Gongsun, don't come unharmed."

"Lord Cao is really shining here, please sit down, I was in a hurry when I came, I didn't bring tea, and I asked Haihan."

"Don't get in the way, in that case, the official will get straight to the point, but please talk about it separately." Cao Cao chuckled and looked at the surrounding guards, I have to say that these armor soldiers are sharp and restrained, they are all elites who survived the dead on the battlefield, and Cao Cao is so envious.

Yang Yi stopped Tian Yu and the group of white horses who were about to leave, and chuckled: "Lord Cao, but it doesn't hurt to say it, we will be both prosperous and lossy, and there is no need to avoid everything." ”

Cao Cao thought to himself in his heart, "What a buyer." "This Gongsun Yi is only fifteen years old, and the soldiers around him serve him, and he is scheming and steady, which strengthens Cao Cao's belief that Gongsun Yi will become a strong reinforcement in the future.

"The 'Anointing' battalion is all the sons of gentlemen, they don't want to make progress, they are like bandits, and the relationship with the surrounding military camps is not harmonious, these people have a deep background, and they must not be moved lightly, I heard that the Gongsun family has a lot of money, and there must be no problem in pleasing these people, and no one wants to get along with the money."

"Lord Cao doesn't know, the mansion is poor, and he can't open the pot."

Cao Cao scolded with a smile: "Okay, you Gongsun Yi, don't say anything else, just the money of the folding fan merchant has already made you have a lot of money, but you are crying poor here." ”

"Originally, I wanted to knock on Lord Cao's bamboo pole, and asked Lord Cao to count the maze." Yang Yi leaned over and respectfully hugged his fists, Cao Cao knew that Yang Yi was not outside the box, as long as someone had a heart to check it, he would naturally understand it clearly.

"Blessings and misfortunes lurk, misfortunes and blessings rely on, blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, today it seems to be full of dangers, but there is hidden vitality."

"Please also make it clear to Lord Cao."

"Now He Jin thinks that he has thrown the trouble out of his hand, and ordered that as long as the 'anointing sorghum' does not gather to make trouble, there is no need to report it, Your Majesty uses you to test the general's bottom line, and now that he is safe and sound, he will probably not investigate your situation deeply."

"That means I can do whatever I want here!" Yang Yi stroked his palms and laughed, and Cao Cao nodded slightly and smiled when he heard this.

In fact, Yang Yi had a plan, but he didn't know the attitude of He Jin and Emperor Han Ling, and he was afraid of it.

Farewell to Cao Cao, the sky has been transparent, the northern army has gathered in the distance, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the northern army as the absolute main force of the Eastern Han Dynasty Jing Army battle can not be underestimated.

On the other hand, most of the officers and men of the 'Anointing' battalion were still asleep, and even if some were awake, they were drinking and singing all night, wandering aimlessly around the barracks and school grounds.

Yang Yi glanced at everyone and said firmly: "I hope you will follow the order, please!" ”

"I'm willing to die." Hearing Yang Yi's blood for a while, Yang Yi walked out of the barracks and exhaled a breath of turbidity, looking at the rising red sunrise in the sky from a distance, it seemed to indicate that Yang Yi's victory was in sight and success was imminent.
