Chapter 289 Revival of the Army
Cars and horses were sparkling, smoke was rising everywhere, and an army of tens of thousands of people was marching south.
Yuan Shao prefers pomp and circumstance to Gongsun Zhan, but he didn't make any gimmicks this time. First, he stayed in the rear by himself, not a personal expedition, so there was no need to pay attention to the scene; What's more, the two armies have long been at war, and it is common for them to send troops to attack each other, and there is no need to engage in so many fancy.
If it were possible, Yuan Shao and the generals of Jizhou would like the army to appear silently under the city of Pingyuan and be caught off guard by Gongsun Zhan. However, that is impossible, even after suffering heavy losses, the rangers of Youzhou are also the strongest soldiers in the world, and it is difficult to surprise the Youzhou army.
Therefore, after receiving Yuan Shao's general order, Lu Yi did not plan to play any tricks, and launched the whole army in a decent manner. The front, middle and rear armies maintained an appropriate distance, and every fifty miles of advance, a camp was set up as a countermeasure and at the same time played a role in protecting the grain routes.
On the way from Guangchuan to Yimu, there were more than a dozen light cavalry wandering around the army, some tried to harass halfway, and some tried to take revenge on the back road, but except for those who went back and forth, they all failed.
However, Lu Yi's approach provoked his lieutenant generals and the people who joined the army to slander him.
"In front of the lord, he is like a desperate Saburo, but he is in charge of an army alone. From Guangchuan to the plains, a total of two or three hundred miles away, which made him walk for almost ten days, and the turtles climbed faster than him! ”
Chun Yuqiong rode on a horse, walking between two parallel carriages, squinting at Jiang Qi. scolded and said, "I see, in front of the lord." That's what he's pretending! ”
There are many reasons why he is unhappy with Koji, such as: the latter's bad character. Humble origins, bad relationships, and so on. What made him most unhappy was the performance of the two before and after the Battle of the Boundary Bridge.
To be honest, he has always been looking forward to that battle. He didn't want Yuan Shao to be defeated, but he was very willing to see Wang Yu show his might and beat the generals of Jizhou all over the ground to find teeth. This did not do him any substantial good, but it could greatly alleviate his embarrassment.
Arrogance. The invincible Yan Liang was defeated, and the 5,000 elite cavalry with the momentum of the great victory were beaten by Wang Pengju's 1,000 light cavalry, and the army was defeated.
The famous Xuanhe, who was skilled in the use of soldiers, was also defeated, and the well-equipped, and the halberd warriors who spent more than Yan Liang's five thousand light cavalry were first beaten by Wang Pengju and lost their sharpness, and then they were imitated by the people of Youzhou. It was surrounded and annihilated.
There is also frustration, which is respected by the scholars of Jizhou and is known as the frustrated frustration and scheming! The Xuanxiang Great Array he set up was brought in six times and six out, which was easier than entering and exiting his back garden. Almost even the Chinese army confessed.
With these people to compare, Chun Yuqiong's defeat is insignificant.
His fame and martial arts are not as big as those mentioned above, and he does not have as many soldiers as these three. After a rapid march, he was taken by surprise. There are many more unfavorable factors than these Jizhou people.
Therefore, Jizhou Wenwu must re-examine him. Reassess his abilities.
Of course, this matter cannot be brought to the table, after all, the caliber of external propaganda is: the Jizhou army first suffered a small setback, and then won a big victory. That small setback refers to the vanguard battle he fought, but the account in the lord's heart is very clear, otherwise how could he reactivate himself in such a short period of time?
The only unpleasant thing is the koji.
The strong man who first defeated the white horse Yicong, and then turned the tide of the lonely savior, even Wang Pengju was forced to retreat by him, and in a flood of mourning, Lu Yi, who created such a mighty record, can be called a god of war.
With Lu Yi here, Chun Yu Qiong's bad abacus will not work. There are many people who have suffered defeat under Wang Yu, and it seems natural for him to suffer defeat, but now, there are people who are equal to Wang Yu, so everyone will be trampled down.
Chun Yuqiong originally planned to wait for a few other people to make trouble.
Yan Liang has a short temper and no one in his eyes; Wen Chou and Yan Liang have a very good relationship, they have always advanced and retreated together, these two people have followed Yuan Shao for a long time, they can be regarded as meritorious veterans, and their martial arts are extremely high, and it is no more suitable to have a conflict with Lu Yi.
That Zhang Junyi is usually very self-conscious, if he can't hang it on his face, he will collude with Yan and Wen Er, plus a very calculating frustration, it's strange if he doesn't kill that arrogant Lu Yi.
It's a pity that it backfired. Frustration does not avoid the distinction between factions, and puts his heart into the hearts of the regents; Zhang Jaw also put on a posture of sympathy, and often discussed the art of war with Lu Yi; Even the donkey-faced Yan Liang didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly, not only did he not bother with Lu Yi, but he also brought two jars of wine and said something to ask for advice.
All kinds of strange things make Chun Yu both unhappy and helpless. He didn't dare to provoke Lu Yi head-on, and he couldn't provoke those who didn't open his mind, and his dissatisfaction could only turn into a full stomach.
The fortunate thing in the misfortune is that the two people who joined the army with him this time are both people who understand, and his complaints can not only be understood, but also resonate.
"General Koji is indeed too cautious, a little too cautious." Feng Ji poked his head out of the carriage and pretended to sigh: "This time the army is always in the speed of the soldiers, it is best to let the Qingzhou soldiers and horses have no time to move, and they will repel Gongsun Zhan, but General Lu probably took into account the reputation won in the previous battle, but he did not understand the intention of the lord, alas! ”
"Not necessarily." The carriage on the other side also moved, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, the pale and bloodless face of the judge was revealed, "Don't look at General Qi's background, but his morale is high, maybe, he deliberately waited for Wang Pengju to mobilize troops and horses to decide the winner in a battle." ”
"Oh?" Feng Ji thought about it, and agreed with the old opponent's statement for the first time, and he said with envy: "The lord has made a big decision this time, capture and kill Wang Pengju, and reward him with the land of Qingzhou!" Not to mention those martial artists, even Feng Mou is also excited. ”
"Then you don't have to delay on the road, right?" Chun Yuqiong chattered endlessly: "Wang Pengju is cunning with his soldiers, even if our army marches at full speed, he will not miss it." There is also no dangerous terrain near the plains on the left and right. Why bother with it? I see, he's still ......."
Chun Yuqiong complained constantly. The two of them also had a good deal with each other, and they both had similar thoughts in their hearts.
Rely on the advantages of equipment. The unparalleled Youzhou light cavalry is no longer to be feared, unless Wang Yu disregards the safety of Qingzhou and pours out of the nest, otherwise this battle should be won, Lu Yi can be regarded as picking up a credit for nothing, but he can't be too happy, because this is just a test of the water.
Judging from the rewards awarded by the lord, after defeating the alliance between Gongsun Chan and Wang Yu, the next target is likely to be Qingzhou. Instead of the original Youzhou.
In the plain, Wang Yu couldn't exert all his strength, but after laying the plain and crossing the river, he should encounter the main force of Qingzhou, which was bound to be a vicious battle.
Therefore, when Yuan Shao appointed the chief general, Guo Tucai recommended Lu Yi, and the Jizhou scholars did not raise objections. The soldiers are in danger. The fierce battle at the beginning is still better to be fought by Lu Yi.
If he loses, with his ability, presumably the losses of the Qingzhou Army will not be small. When the time comes, find a stubble to get him down, and replace it with his own people to fight for merit; It doesn't matter if he wins by chance, it's hard to imagine that the Lord Guild would hand over the land of a state to such a person. When the time comes, everyone will add fuel to the fire and find a charge to take him down.
Even Han Xin couldn't escape the ending of the rabbit dead and the dog cooking. How can a mere koji righteousness turn the sky upside down?
The battle of the plains that came by hand was just a decoy.
It's ridiculous that Chun Yuqiong has also experienced it in the court. I can't even understand this thing, it's really a hypocrisy.
……
"Those few people are still so-called famous people, and they don't know the art of war at all, so they only know how to show off their lips and slander others. General, why bother to keep them to make noise in the army and disturb the hearts of our army, it is better to simply ...... them"
The descendants of Lu Yi were expanded from the private soldiers of the Lu family, and the loyal target of these people was Lu Yi, not Yuan Shao. Chun Yuqiong's complaining and interrogating attitude aroused their anger, and some of them were reckless, directly cutting their palms horizontally and proposing to kill Lu Yi.
"Nonsense!" Lu Yi's face sank suddenly, "Meng, do you still think we are in Xiliang?" Heaven and earth don't care, do whatever you want? We are now in the Central Plains, and we are soldiers under the command of General Che Cai, and we are bound by General Yuan's orders, how can we still be the same as before? Mr. Xian, they joined the army, if they died in the army, how could General Yuan give up? ”
"It's not that I don't understand these truths, but the general, you also know that General Yuan didn't take us seriously at all, in the last war, we died so many brothers and made such a great contribution, but the result is not that we were not taken seriously? There is money to recruit troops, but the pension given to us has been delayed, what are we working so hard for! ”
"No, that Chun Yuqiong is useless in the war, relying on his good friendship with General Yuan, he was promoted after losing the battle, and he can get a reward after taking the military stick! Compared with us, it's really a heaven and an underground! ”
"This time, we shouldn't promise them, let them deal with that Wang Pengju by themselves, and eat a few more defeats, and General Yuan should remember us. If it doesn't work anymore, let's just go back to Xiliang! ”
Lu Yi's subordinates are not afraid of death, and they are also rebellious, they have suffered so much anger in Jizhou, and they have always been forced by Lu Yi, and this time they were provoked by the bad attitude of Chun Yuqiong and others, and they also broke out in a hurry.
"You don't understand."
Lu Yi's expression also looked a little gloomy, he shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think that so-and-so can endure these evil spirits? I can't bear it! This world is set up for the family, those of us who are from humble backgrounds, do not attach themselves to these famous families, there is no way out at all! ”
He raised his hand and pointed south: "The ancestral home of my Koji family is in the plains, and it can be regarded as a strong party, why did you flee to Xiping all the way?" Not to flee yet? offended the famous family, only this one will end. Then Wang Pengju is amazing, right? Even Xu Gongqing was defeated at his hands, what was the result? Not yet besieged by the princes? gave up the bustling Luoyang and came to the poor countryside of Qingzhou. ”
"If you think about it, when we were in Xiliang, you will understand that this world is designed for the family!" As he spoke, he accentuated his tone: "If you want to come out, either you have a good background, or you can only rely on the family and climb up slowly, our lives are not good, we can only take the back road, isn't this what I said at the beginning?" ”
The crowd will be silent.
The high status of the family is even more obvious in the frontier. At the beginning, Jia Xu was caught by the Qiang thieves, pretending to be the clansmen of the Taiwei Duan Ying, and easily escaped, but the others were buried alive by the Qiang thieves. This is a typical example.
Lu Yi's ancestors also had a good time, but they didn't know the height of the sky, offended the real family, and were forced to flee. After hiding in Liangzhou for 20 years, I already have a very deep understanding of this. Therefore, when Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, Lu Yi did not hesitate to turn his back on Han Fu and took the lead in leading the troops to join Yuan Shao.
"But...... Who would have thought that this General Yuan would be so difficult to serve! It's not enough to be able to fight, you have to ......"
"In this world, it's the same everywhere," the wry smile on Lu Yi's face was even worse, but there was a bright light flashing in his eyes: "Hold on, just hold on, General Yuan has already announced the reward in Jizhou, no matter who it is, as long as Wang Yu is captured, it will be the new Qingzhou Thorn History!" When the time comes, we will lead the way, and we will no longer have to look at other people's faces. ”
"That's a good feeling, but, general, General Yuan speaks, is it okay?"
"Exactly! Why not? Lu Yi waved his hand vigorously, as if to enhance his persuasiveness, and more like he was trying to convince himself: "General Yuan is the first family of the Han Dynasty in the fourth world and the third duke, and he may have to ...... What he said, that's what Chrysostom said! You don't have to think about it, even if it's for the sake of dying brothers, this battle must be fought well! ”
