Chapter 398: Scheming and Faithfulness
Wait.
Yuan Shao has been waiting for too long, too long.
Strictly speaking, only three days had passed since the nightmare night, and even if the reinforcements he hoped for could fly, they would not have been able to reach the plains as he expected. But this period of time is really too difficult, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a year.
Fortunately on the first day, the Qingzhou army launched several offensives, and at the beginning of the camp, Yuan Shao was still a little worried, but soon found that the other party did not seem to have the intention of a full-scale attack, but was just trying to find a flaw in the defensive line.
He was relieved.
He no longer had any luck now, and as soon as the wolf smoke was released, he guessed that Wang Yu would soon realize the existence of Hu Qi and the upcoming reality.
What he was most worried about was that Wang Yu launched a fierce attack first, as long as he completely defeated himself before the arrival of the Huns and took his own life, Jizhou would be in the other party's pocket.
Of course, the Huns after it were not easy to deal with, but in the case of a field battle, even if the strength was greatly damaged, as long as they hid in the plain city, lacked siege equipment, and had always had nothing to do about the fortified city, they could only cry out in vain.
The Hu cavalry could not capture the city, nor would they attack the city, according to the custom, they at most plundered everywhere, took everything they could, killed everything they could, and then left, nothing more.
Avenge yourself, even Yuan Shao, who thinks highly of himself, does not repay expectations. It doesn't make sense to talk to them about faithfulness and honesty, and the only way to drive them is to make profits, and they can see them in front of them. Long-term interests are all fantasy for those uncivilized guys.
Therefore, what Yuan Shao feared the most was Wang Yu's all-out attack at any cost.
Although Gao Ran was a famous general in Hebei, and the staff members had become sincerely united at this moment, it was not until he lost it that Yuan Shao realized the existence of Fu Zhi. How important it was to him.
If the frustration is still there, the line of defense will be solid before the food is exhausted, not the way it is now. According to Gao Ran, if the enemy is willing to pay enough price, his side will definitely not be able to hold it.
Harsh realities, and isolation. made Yuan Shao feel desolate, but fortunately, Wang Yu's indecision and woman's kindness gave him the last ray of hope.
The military generals in Jizhou were no longer reliable, and they were reluctant to be ordered to move closer to the main camp. He also refused to launch an offensive as a diversion. If it weren't for Wang Yu's reluctance to attack, the grass on the wall would have taken refuge in the past.
No one could imagine how hearty Yuan Shao's mood was at the moment when he realized that Wang Yu was just testing and refused to launch a full-scale attack.
Once again, he had a psychological advantage over Wang Yu.
People who do big things. It is time to abandon meaningless emotions and start everything from interests.
Sympathetic to the soldiers? Is it necessary?
As long as there is power, territory, money and food, what do the soldiers still have? In these years, the Central Plains lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people. Not to mention anything else, no matter how big the losses of the attacking camp were. It won't be more than 10,000, right? can solve himself, and the surrender of the group of wall grasses in Jizhou has exceeded 10,000, what is there to calculate this account?
Ready to take on Hu Qi? And even more!
There are so many beards on the grassland, more resilient than the grass people in the Central Plains, cutting one stubble, and another stubble will grow, and when you are very hungry, you will come to the Central Plains to fight the autumn wind. Instead of laboring on the crusade of the masses. It's better to let them do it.
occasionally send people to reprimand and reprimand to show the majesty of the heavenly kingdom; From time to time, it can be used. Of course, as a weapon, Hu Qi is sharp enough. It's not very handy, but it's used occasionally, and it's still very effective, such as: when dealing with the Black Mountain thieves.
If he changed places with Wang Yu, Yuan Shaocai ignored so much, and after defeating the opponent, he entered the city and let Hu Qi plunder outside for a while. When Hu Qiqiang is strong enough to retreat, he will follow behind the opponent's ass, take the opponent's head, and go to Jizhou to recover the territory.
The target of the people's hatred was the Huns, which was very beneficial to the unity of the territory. Then take advantage of the retreat of Hu Cai, attack a few small tribes, and then proclaim a great victory, the people's aspirations are self-evident. Finally, with a little more money and a little mercy for the counties with the heaviest losses, the grass people will immediately forget the pain caused by the previous war and regard themselves as new parents!
Iron bucket country, prosperous and prosperous, this is how it came!
It's a pity that Wang Xiaothief is a turtle born in a hail, and he has not been really edified, and he doesn't understand these superb political techniques, and he doesn't want to understand.
He only knows how to fight, kill, and defend the illusory justice and justice. I don't know that things are man-made, justice and justice are all spoken from people's mouths, and only the victor deserves the power to write justice!
He's very good at fighting, but so what? Even if he was Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu back then, didn't he lose to Emperor Gaozu, who was good at dancing with long sleeves and regarded faith as nothing?
The sense of psychological superiority grew stronger and stronger, until a familiar figure appeared outside the camp - You Heng You Zhengping!
As long as he thought of this name, Yuan Shao felt sweat on his head, a fire in his psyche, and smoke under his feet.
It's insulting, and he is also a scholar, why is this person's mouth so stinky?
The sense of superiority disappeared in an instant, and Yuan Shao endured it with great patience, just waiting for the Huns to descend from heaven and save him from the nightmare. For him, the embarrassment of the army's running out of food and grass is not as great as the pressure brought to him by You Heng's stinky mouth.
Before he met You Heng, he never thought that there would be such a scolding person in this world. Not counting the previous period in Gaotang, from the day after the defeat, this person scolded outside the camp for two and a half days in a row, day and night, without interruption, and the scolding words have never been the same!
cynicism is commonplace;
Laughing and scolding is just commonplace;
The crooked poems on the left and the right are the most terrible!
It's both rhyming and catchy, and can be shouted by a lot of people, while also being memorable.
Yuan Shao sadly realized how bleak his future would be. Even if this battle is won in the end, with the spread of this crooked poem, he will become the laughing stock of the world, and maybe there will be a chance to pass it on to future generations.
Of course, it is not a hundred years of history, but a stench of ten thousand years.
If gaze could kill, Youheng would have died a hundred times a hundred times;
If the curse had been realized, Youheng would have turned into ashes long ago;
If......
Unfortunately, these are ifs and can't be turned into reality right away. Yuan Shao could only endure it bitterly. Waiting, like a beast trapped in a cage, waiting for the expected miracle to appear.
He was in too bad condition to see anyone, so he didn't know that the two generals he relied on the most at the moment were arguing outside the tent.
"Mr. Gongze, can't the lord still be a director? Today. The army is about to run out of food completely! Gao Ran said loudly, as if he intended to let Yuan Shao in the tent hear.
Guo Tu spread his hands and said with a bitter face: "General Gao, no one has the ability to make something out of nothing, not to mention that the lord is in poor health and cannot be a director for the time being." Even if it's okay, what can he do? Do you want to bow down and surrender to the thieves and find you something to eat?"
Although he was explaining, Guo Tu still couldn't eliminate his psychological superiority, and his words were also secretly witty, not without sarcasm.
"And horses! You can kill horses! Gao Ran didn't know if he didn't notice it, or if he was used to it. didn't care about Guo Tu's attitude at all, and put forward his own suggestions straightforwardly.
"No way!" Wen Chou was furious: "The battle is not over yet, and it is not for the reinforcements to arrive, you can sit back and relax, then Wang Pengju's ability, you have not seen it, in case he ...... Hum! Anyway, it's not good, and people don't have faith, maybe the situation is not good. If you don't come, you have a horse, you can still break through, and without a horse, you can only wait for death. ”
He was a horseman, and of course he was not willing to kill horses. Yuan Shao also told him in advance to take good care of the horses. Once the matter is urgent, you must break through, and you can look at these light horses in his hands.
Gao Ran refused to show weakness, and shouted with a stiff neck: "That's better than starving to death!" Lao Tzu's soldiers can die by the sword. To die under the hooves of a horse is not to die of starvation! ”
Gao Ran is actually a person who doesn't have any distractions, a little similar to Yu Ban, a pure soldier. When Yuan Shao was in Bohai, he promoted him, and he always followed him left and right, never complained, and Yuan Shao also trusted him quite a lot.
He didn't expect Yuan Shao to keep the war horse, because he had the intention of breaking his wrist again to survive, but he was just thinking about the army. Since the lord said to stick to it, then everything is considered from how to hold on for a longer time.
Killing horses is undoubtedly the best way.
"Stay, stay! The two generals are the pillars of the army, and at this critical stage of survival, they must not attack each other, which hurts the peace. Seeing that Gao Ran was not targeting him, Guo Tu's tone became much softer, and he gently persuaded: "It's better to wait here, the two generals are here for a while, I will ask the lord for instructions on this matter, and ask the lord to decide, how about it?"
The two generals glared at each other, clasped their fists and agreed, "Mr. Benyi."
Guo Tu went into the account, and after a while, the figure appeared in front of the second general again.
"The lord thinks that the two generals are both brave and loyal, and they consider the overall situation. But at present, the army is in a difficult situation, and it can't be both, there must be a trade-off......" Guo Tu dragged a long note, then turned to Wen Chou, and said earnestly: "The army can't go without food for a day, horses, you can't help but kill ......"
"But ......" Wen Chou was anxious.
"General Wen is not in a hurry, although he wants to kill, he doesn't need to kill them all, first pick some bad horses and injured horses, which are enough for today's use. In order to fight back, the good horse still has to be kept. ”
"That's it, that's it, that's it." Wen Chou understood and stopped talking.
Gao Ran refused to give up, he looked at Wen Chou, and suddenly pulled Guo Tu and left. He has a high level of martial arts and great strength, although Guo Tu has also practiced boxing and swords for a few days, where can he compare to the other party? Caught off guard, the staggered ones were dragged to a secluded place behind the tent.
"General Gao, what do you mean by this? Even if you are dissatisfied with the determination of your lord, why bother to be rude? Besides, if you want food, the lord will kill the horse, what are you not satisfied with?"
Ignoring Guo Tu's angry snort, Gao Ran's expression became unprecedentedly serious, he looked at Guo Tu solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Wen Ze, the last general respects your talent and reputation, and I want to say a few words from my heart."
“…… You said. Guo Tu was a little weak by him.
"The lord insisted on keeping the horse, isn't it to break through with light horses?"
"How do you know ......" Guo Tu's eyes widened, and he was about to answer subconsciously, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that it was wrong, and shouted angrily: "You lied to me?"
The honest man's sudden shocking words have a very strong effect, and even an old and sophisticated person like Guo Tu is on the way.
"The gentleman and the last general are colleagues, how can you say that?" Gao Ran shook his head, and his tone was ancient: "The last general is deeply taught by the prince and Mr., and Mr. is generous and martyred, and he has a reason to cherish his life?" But doesn't the lord take into account the feelings of the soldiers?"
"They? What mood do they have?" Guo Tu was a little confused, but he had vaguely thought of what Gao Ran was going to say.
"Our army is newly defeated, morale is low, the soldiers are suspicious, if the Qingzhou army does not give up on the attack, there is still a trapped beast still fighting, but this has been a few days...... For today's plan, the lord should kill the war horses and sacrifice the three armies, so that the soldiers know that the lord's guild will live and die with them, so that the morale can be boosted and the soldiers can dispel their doubts. Then, whether it is to cooperate with reinforcements to fight or break through, they have the power to fight, but now it goes on like this......"
Gao Ran said very sincerely, the tactics of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, fighting against the water, many military strategists in ancient and modern times have used it, but only Xiang Yu and Han Xin have succeeded, and everyone else is self-defeating.
The reason for this, in addition to the commander's commanding power, lies more in whether he has the determination to fight to the death. It's not enough to just put on a posturing, you have to do things in practice, such as Gao Ran's proposal to kill the horse.
Guo Tu was silent, silent for a long time.
Gao Ran's heart was once lit with hope, but when Guo Tu raised his eyes to look at him, and replied with a smile in a tone similar to before, "The lord has no intention of leaving the soldiers behind to break through", Gao Ran was desperate.
He finally realized the state of mind when he was frustrated and generous in battle.
Although power magic has its effects, it is not a universal standard, and in many cases, those neglected faithfulness and honesty are the criteria that determine everything. (To be continued.)
