Chapter 52: Yuan Shu

"My lord, the last general is back!" Han Dang, Zu Mao, Cheng Pu and others returned to Sun Jian's camp with a bloody face.

"Righteousness, morality, acting, how?" Sun Jian waited in the military village for a long time, walked back and forth, and when he heard the return of the three henchmen, he excitedly greeted him outside the village.

"The Lord is blessed with all the blessings, and more than 12,000 people from the Zhang Advisory Department have been collected, and more than 1,000 people have been beheaded for public display." Han Dang said murderously.

"You have worked hard, and go down to rest, this time you have done your best in Nanyang soldiers and horses, and you have made a great achievement, but it's a pity that you have hated Chen Qiong of Qiaojun." When Sun Jian heard this, he was overjoyed, accepted Zhang Shi's military horses, and killed thousands of individuals, which is nothing in this troubled world. At the beginning, he conscripted and suppressed the Yellow Turbans, and when he suppressed the rebellion in Changsha, he killed more people.

"The lord, the eldest husband is in the world, life and death are taken away, this time he has all the soldiers and horses in Nanyang, and the strength of the lord has increased greatly, so even if Chen Qiong is unhappy in his heart, what can he do?" Huang Gai smiled heartily and said, after annexing Zhang Shi's subordinates at this time, Sun Jian's strength was close to more than 25,000 people, and in addition to the fact that the grain and grass were still insufficient, he was already one of the most powerful among the anti-Dong princes.

"Xiaguan Chen Qiong, I've seen General Hou!" Wancheng has now become Sun Jian's territory, Sun Jian has just gotten Zhang Zhi's army, and he has to rest for two days, Chen Qiong is too lazy to stay in Wancheng any longer, so he directly set up troops and went to Shanyang to meet Yuan Shu. Sun Jian has already taken the lead in Nanyang, if he is allowed to take the lead in Yuan Shu's place again, he will be completely marginalized, and as for Xu Rong's threat, he can't care so much at this time.

"It turned out to be Chen Taishou, and sure enough, he was a young hero. With Chen Taishou's help, why worry about Dong Zhuo's immortality. "Yuan Shu recruited troops in Nanyang for a period of time, and was squeezed out by Zhang Zhi, for him, the second generation of officials, the recruitment was too slow, and now he suddenly got such a strong reinforcement from Chen Qiong, and he was overjoyed.

The world is optimistic about his brother Yuan Shao's concubine, but he is the concubine of the Yuan family. At this time, Yuan Shu was already the largest force in the north to fight against Dong, with nearly 30,000 troops, and was publicly elected as the leader of the coalition. And he was still making a small fuss in Nanyang, and even Zhang Zhi's guy dared to exclude him. Chen Qiong led more than 10,000 troops and threw them under his account, Yuan Shu's heart was balanced a lot, it seems that Lao Tzu, the son-in-law, still has some effect. is no worse than Yuan Shao, a person from a humble background. Yuan Shao now has nearly 30,000 people, but now that he has Chen Qiong's refuge, his strength has also soared, and he can have a place in the coalition army.

"Chen Taishou is loyal and brave, quelling the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou, breaking hundreds of thousands of thieves, and his merits are immeasurable, I can show Chen Taishou as the general who broke the captives and concurrently served as the assassin of Yuzhou!"

"Thank you, General Hou! As soon as the general is killed, more than 10,000 athletes under Qiong will go to the soup and fight the fire. Chen Qiong was overjoyed when he heard this, Ni Mei's, this is the gap brought about by fame in the Three Kingdoms era, if he proclaimed himself a Yuzhou assassin and broke the general. will only make people laugh, but after Yuan Shu's recommendation, as long as the strength is not bad, this position will be confirmed. Fortunately, he came to see Yuan Shu a little earlier than Sun Jian, otherwise if Sun Jian got the official title of Yuzhou Assassin, his later work in Yuzhou would not be good. As for a broken general, calling it out is much better than a lieutenant. During the Three Kingdoms period, not everyone could worship the general.

After the great joy, Chen Qiong also felt that this Yuan Shu was ruthless enough. He and Yuan Shao's two brothers, one fled to Bohai and the other to Nanyang, and each raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo. Poor Yuan Kui's family of more than 50 in Beijing was killed by Dong Zhuo, and there was no sadness on Yuan Shu's face. is still alive and vigorous, and his face is full of red light. Thinking of Sun Jian killing Zhang Shi a few days ago, he beheaded more than a thousand heads, and killed Wancheng's heads. In this troubled world, you really have to be ruthless enough, both for the enemy and for your family. People are not ruthless, and they can't stand steadily. Chen Qiong was not soft when he thought he should be killed, but it was difficult to do it with Sun Jian and Yuan Shu, and his face did not change, and he regarded his family affection as nothing.

"This Yuan Shu is so happy, he usually likes to eat honey, and the lord has no long things, so he might as well send someone back to let Pei Yuanshao collect honey and send it to Yuan Shu. If they are pleased, they will have no worries about food and grass in the future. When returning from Yuan Shu, Xun You suggested, and then said, "In addition, Dong Zhuo regards the Yuan family as an enemy, and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible." His subordinate general Xu Rong will come to attack Yuan Shu after eradicating Li Min and Kong Zhou, and since the lord has obtained the benefits of Yuan Shu, if he wants to stabilize the grain road in the future, this battle is indispensable. ”

"This crusade against Dong Zhuo is coming, how can you be afraid of war. I'll also see who this Xu Rong is, and it doesn't hurt to test the depth first. Chen Qiong nodded and smiled.

"Don't take it lightly, when I was a child, I took refuge in Yuzhou with my father. And the state is connected to the north, and the people are fierce. The cavalry is incomparably sharp, and there is a world of difference between it and the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Chen Zhi, who has never spoken much, spoke.

"I am provincial, and I will definitely not have any contempt for Xu Rong." Chen Qiong nodded, although Chen Zhi usually doesn't talk much, but by pointing to the key point, despising the enemy on the battlefield is tantamount to joking with his own life, not to mention that Xu Rong is still an extremely cruel and murderous general.

A batch of grain and grass was supplied at Yuan Shu's office, and Chen Qiong led the army north. Go to Sujube to join the coalition forces in the north and attack the Tiger Prison Pass together. Sprinkle the marching scouts all the way.

There are more than 10,000 people, and there is no shore. The march of the army was spectacular.

Gotta ......

As soon as the horse came, the chief was almost lying on his horse, and his eyes were so good that he could already see a few sharp arrows stuck in the soldier's back, and the blood was flowing on the horse's back.

I only heard Nashi's long voice say indistinctly, "Report to the lord, the west, the Xiliang cavalry has arrived!" ”

After saying that, Shi Chang fell off his horse and died of his injuries.

"Lord, the last general knows this person, it is Zhao Su, the commander of the cavalry, and the scouts are gone." Chen Zhi frowned and said.

Chen Qiong took a breath, those who could be sent out as scouts were the elite of the cavalry, but under the first confrontation with the Xiliang cavalry, the whole army was wiped out, and even the chief could only escape back in one breath, could the Xiliang Iron Cavalry really be so terrifying?

"Set up camp on the spot, lead the cavalry to protect the flanks of the army, straight thieves, all two shoulders and one head, it is difficult for the Yuzhou soldiers to be afraid of the Xiliang barbarians!" Chen Qiong said murderously.

"Whoa!" Chen Zhi took the order and left.

Dong Zhuo started as a cavalry in the north, although it is not as exaggerated as the 200,000 Xiliang iron cavalry in the slogan, but the situation is much better than that in the south with fewer horses. The best situation for infantry to deal with cavalry is to defend it, and there is no city at the moment, so it is very necessary to quickly establish a simple camp and rely on the camp for defense.

The next group of soldiers formed a formation near a slightly higher mound. Other soldiers, relying on small mounds, under the command of officers, removed obstacles such as horses, deer, thistles, iron thistles, and wooden stakes and set them up in front of the military formation. Wooden stakes sharpened at both ends are driven deep into the earth as a row of guardrails, which are left with gaps every 100 meters to serve as gates. There is a wooden cart at the gap as cover.
