3/5~

――――

Some people are happy, and some people are unlucky.

Tai Shici's progress was going well, and Zhang Yangke was depressed.

In fact, since he went north to help the war, he has been regretting that he should not have traveled thousands of miles to wade this muddy water.

The biggest feature of the chaos in Hebei is chaos, just like the weather in June, one moment the sky is clear, the next moment it is raining down, and no one can predict what will happen in the future.

It is not enough that the Allied encirclement has been broken on all sides. The alliance has always been unreliable, and the princes fought on their own, providing many opportunities for the besieged to break through, which was the case in Luoyang back then, and now it is the same in Hebei.

However, the allies were not without positive significance at all, Liu Dai and Cao Cao were destroyed and retreated successively, but after all, they restrained Wang Yu's energy. If there were no two enemy armies, maybe it would be the Jizhou army that suffered from the front and rear attacks, Wang Yu's domineering spirit and Zhang Yan's cunning, this combination is really heartbreaking to think about.

After a lot of hard work and fear, Zhang Yan was finally solved before Wang Yu withdrew, and the battle situation seemed to be clear.

But who would have thought that Wang Yu suddenly transformed into Zhang Yan, first lured the enemy to behead Yan Liang, and then ran generously to negotiate peace, without waiting for the results of the peace negotiation, he turned around and ran, and ran for hundreds of miles in one go, and he couldn't catch up.

It seems that Yuan Shao has picked up a big bargain, but only when he is in the game does he know the pain of being in charge. General Yuan, who used to be wealthy, is also poor at this moment.

It's true that Jizhou is richer than Qingzhou, but it can't stand that there are many officials and soldiers in Jizhou! As soon as there is a war, the cost will increase exponentially, the officials will make money, and the soldiers will have to eat. Coupled with the people who carried it, hundreds of pairs of big hands stretched out, hundreds of thousands of mouths opened, and the gold and silver mountains could only be swept away.

Originally, this had little to do with Zhang Yang.

He worked as an errand boy under Yuan Shao's father, Yuan Feng, and was a colleague with Yuan Shao, and the relationship was relatively close. Later, in the battle of the princes against Dong, he got the help of Yuan Shao and got the official position of Hanoi Taishou, and waited until Yuan Shao entered Jizhou. The two became semi-vassals. Nominally, Zhang Yang was a vassal of Jizhou, but in reality, he did not need to follow Yuan Shao's path like his ministers.

But. If you make a mistake in the front, you won't be able to turn back in the back.

Because of his soft-heartedness and greed, he got on Yuan Shao's thief ship and confronted Wang Yu.

Faced with Zhang Yang's questioning. Yuan Shao lightly threw over a sentence: Qinghe is rich, and there are many thieves, and Uncle Zhi can raise it on the spot, which is a way to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhang Yang was very indignant about this: Fuck your mother. You just let Lao Tzu be a bad guy to rob it, and you pushed the burden away.

Indignation turned into indignation, the army's lack of food and pay was definitely going to end, and he could only pinch his nose and admit it. I comforted myself in my heart: my own soldiers and horses are the teachers of benevolence and righteousness, and they only take what they need. It will not disturb the people, and even if it does, it will not disturb it too much.

Thinking so, he waved his hand, and dozens of grain collection teams set off.

The grain collection team walked in front of the army, so as to save the trouble of transportation back and forth, wherever they went, where they ate, and took away what they couldn't eat, Zhang Yang's abacus crackled.

As a result, something went wrong.

"Do you see clearly? It's really the Qingzhou Army? What the? White horse silver gun, is that Changshan Zhao Zilong? Didn't this man recruit and not return? Why did it come out of nowhere? This, how can this be good? Zhang Yang was so anxious that his heart was on fire, the soles of his feet were cold, and he walked around in the tent of the Chinese army, turning around.

His relationship with Jizhou is much closer than that of Cao Cao and Liu Dai, and he knows some secrets, such as: Zhao Yun's achievements in the Battle of Jieqiao. Defeat Wen Chou single-handedly, guide Wang Yu to break through the Xuanxiang Array, even a capable person like Fu Zhu can't stop him, isn't it dangerous for him?

How did you let yourself meet such a ruthless character?

Strictly speaking, none of the five major generals in Qingzhou are easy to get along with, and as for Wang Yu himself, don't even think about it, haven't you seen enough in Luoyang?

But Zhang Yang still felt very aggrieved, it was in order to avoid becoming the target of the Qingzhou Army that he chose the north road and let Cao Ren be a substitute for the dead ghost, why didn't he escape this catastrophe?

He had the heart to cry.

"Envoy, it's the Qingzhou Army that came, isn't it Zhao Yun who said it? Besides, even if it is really Zhao Yun, there is nothing to be afraid of, although his martial arts are strong, what is it like among the thousands of horses in the former army? You must know that he recruits all new soldiers, but he is the best one among the five generals in Qingzhou. ”

It was Captain Yang Chou who spoke, this person was the chief general under Zhang Yang, but he was not Zhang Yang's descendant, he was from Hanoi. If you ignore the look of disdain in his eyes, what he said is not unreasonable.

"That's right." Zhang Yang's heart was slightly wide, but when he thought about it, he rubbed his hands and sighed: "But if you think about it carefully, he has few soldiers, but it is not beautiful." If it was Yu Ban or Xu Huang who came, he would have been able to ask Ben Chu for help, but now he can only face it by himself, tricky, too tricky. ”

"Don't worry!" Yang Chou smiled proudly, with a look of disdain: "It's just Zhao Yun, ugly is not talented, there are only 3,000 foot soldiers, and he will be able to fight and capture, if not, he will be dealt with by military law." ”

"Eh, why did General Yang do this? How can there be a reason to win? Moreover, now that the enemy's situation is unknown, wouldn't it be arbitrary to assert victory or defeat on this point? ”

Zhang Yang did not accept Yang Chou's military order, but praised his courage: "Our army is newly defeated, but it cannot break morale, the general's courage is commendable, and it is just the vanguard of the army." If the enemy is numerous, he will divide the land to defend himself, and the general should lead a large army to help him, and if the enemy is outnumbered, the general may as well fight and capture it, in order to show his bravery. If the enemy flees on horsepower, the general will collect food and grass on the spot. ”

"This is very good, Yang Chou obeys the order!" Yang Chou was overjoyed, and he proposed to make a military order, which was originally just to strengthen morale. Not to mention whether he can win against Zhao Yun in the end, everyone is a cavalry, can't he run if he can't beat it? If he really made a military order, then he went directly to most of his life.

Of course, if he hadn't calculated Zhang Yang's temperament, he wouldn't have dared to say so. Zhang Yang has an indecisive personality and little courage, and under him, there is little hope of achieving great things. But as long as you are willing to fight, it is still easy to get the right to speak, and then earn some capital for yourself, and it is also a good way to make other plans.

The plan was decided, and after discussing the military situation, Yang Chou resigned and left.

As soon as Yang Chou left, another military general hurriedly said: "Lord, then Yang Chou has never been very respectful to you, let him lead the army alone this time." Isn't it better to discuss one or two more? ”

This person is Mu Shun, a famous general in the party, and Yang Chou are listed as Zhang Yang's right-hand man, but because of the relationship between his descendants, the degree of trust is far above Yang Chou.

Zhang Yang flicked his long beard and said with a smile: "From it." You don't think that this march will be smooth sailing, and you can just take advantage of it, right? ”

Mu Shun's face turned red, and his mind was really right.

The previous grain collection teams were mainly from the above party, although the three teams that went the farthest were raided by the Qingzhou army and suffered heavy losses, especially the last two teams. Only a few escaped, and the army was almost wiped out. However, the other teams returned safely. The harvest is not ordinarily rich, and the straight people are blushing.

This is a big beauty difference, how can it fall into the hands of Yang Chou?

"For the Qingzhou generals, it is absolutely unacceptable to underestimate the enemy. Although the front returned, the enemy army had only three hundred cavalry. But who knows if he has any people hiding in the shadows? If there is, it will not be more, as long as there are more thousand horsemen, three thousand foot soldiers are no longer opponents, if there are more, I am afraid that the general will not be able to resist it with all his strength. ”

Zhang Yang's expression was solemn, and his tone was low: "Instead of greedy for a temporary harvest and taking risks to advance lightly, it is better to take it step by step and first see the reality of the enemy army." If the enemy army really pressed the border, the original side had its own countermeasures, if it was just light troops harassing, it would not be too late to change generals. ”

"I see." Mu Shun suddenly hugged his fist with joy and sincerity: "The lord is wise." ”

"Hehe, be careful to make a 10,000-year-old ship, the words of the ancients always make sense."

……

On the other side, Yang Chou walked out of a distance, suddenly stood still, and snorted: "Li Xiang, you have done a good job, do things for Ben General, there are benefits for you, well, this is a reward for you." As he spoke, he threw out a money bag.

"General Xie's reward." Li Xiang made a leap, accurately caught the money bag, slightly pressed his hand, and pinched it gently, and the value of the money bag was already bottomed. In his heart, he secretly scolded Yang Chou for being stingy, he was quite a big person, and he only paid 200 yuan for rewarding, and he could afford it!

scolded in his heart, and Yang Chou's unruly voice came to his ears: "What is your brother's name?" ”

"Returning to the general." Turning around, Li Xiang smiled flatteringly, with a respectful attitude: "His father and mother died early, he didn't read, and no one named him, because he was eleventh, so he kept calling him." ”

"He's a lieutenant now, too?" Yang Chou's voice had a bit of an unpleasant taste: "Then why don't you follow him to Qingzhou?" With such a relative to take care of it, isn't it more promising than in Hanoi? Isn't it that you have secretly voted for Qingzhou, and you are a fraudulent general who has come to cooperate with the outside world? ”

"How can it!" Li Xiang hurriedly defended, and told his experience and mental journey of abandoning Wang Yu very early and refusing to leave his hometown, and then sighed: "That Wang Yu has a tight belly, and he usually only gives him a chance once, and if he turns back, don't think about it again." ”

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, he was obviously quite frustrated for missing the opportunity, but Yang Chou saw it in his eyes and believed it. What kind of character is Wang Pengju, this person is timid and afraid of death, even if there is nepotism, how can he be looked at? It's better to come back and sell information and make some extra money.

Internal? Is there such an unreliable internal response?

Yang Chou looked at Li Xiang and asked again: "I ask you again, the Qingzhou cavalry is really only three hundred?" ”

"It's true, they came directly from the north, and when they got closer, they found out that our people were encountered temporarily, and there must have been no premeditation! If there is even the slightest lie, let me die with ten thousand arrows through my heart! Li Xiang swore and cursed, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the flaw.

"That's good." Yang Chou was finally relieved, nodded, and walked away.

"Congratulations to the General." Li Xiang wiped a cold sweat, took a long breath, and muttered in his mouth: Of course it's true, if it's fake, my generous cousin gave me 20,000 yuan, let me tell the truth, it's a fool not to say it! Well done, there's another fifty thousand after the fact! It's much better than you, the captain of the door, huh!
