Chapter 15: Angry and Corrupt

By the time all the 3,000 stone grain had been moved, it was already getting dark.

Luo Zheng and more than a dozen pro-soldiers were tired with sore legs and weak feet, and sat on the ground panting.

Chen Tong and more than a dozen pro-soldiers wanted to fall asleep, where could they care about ghosts or ghosts at this time.

Luo Zheng was not at ease, and did not forget to advise, "What you see today is not allowed to be said, it is better to rot in your heart." If anyone leaks the slightest rumor, God will send down thunder, and it will harm children and grandchildren, remember? ”

"Remembered, remembered."

Chen Tong and more than a dozen pro-soldiers turned white in fright, and nodded hurriedly.

In this era, people's fear of ghosts and gods has gone deep into their bones.

Luo Zheng figured this out, so he didn't use the killing head to warn, but moved out of God to scare, and sure enough, these pro-soldiers were suddenly frightened, it seems that even if someone put a knife on their necks, these pro-soldiers did not dare to leak half a word.

The army stayed in Wancheng for three days, and Luo Zheng only found more than 500 craftsmen.

Most of them were blacksmiths, but there were also carpenters, shoemakers, bamboo makers, and so on.

Luo Zheng asked his cavalry to drive more than 500 craftsmen to a large mansion in the north of the city, and then dismissed the soldiers, so that Chen Tong and more than a dozen personal soldiers drove all the more than 500 craftsmen to the vegetable garden.

These craftsmen were very dishonest at first, but when they arrived in the vegetable garden, they immediately became honest one by one.

Luo Zheng scared him again, and then left two personal soldiers to guard and withdrew from the vegetable garden.

The two soldiers who stayed behind in the vegetable garden organized more than 500 craftsmen to pick up the newly added large open land, turned over all the black soil, and then planted the corn and wheat harvested by Luo Zheng, and took water from the waterhole to irrigate.

Although there is a lack of necessary farming tools, the efficiency is somewhat poor.

However, more than 500 people picked up less than 10 acres of land, and it still took only one day to finish.

Except for the two acres of vacated land that were temporarily used by these craftsmen to settle down, the rest of the vacant land was turned over and planted.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, before dawn, Luo Zheng came to see Hu Zhen.

Hu Zhen had just put on his armor and stomach under the service of his own soldiers, and when he saw Luo Zheng coming in, he immediately ordered: "Luo Zheng, quickly go and inform the generals to come to discuss matters, our army has stopped in Wancheng for three days, and we must send troops today." ”

Luo Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Originally, he was still thinking about how to persuade Hu Zhen to leave Wancheng, but he didn't expect that this product would finally have medicine to save him.

News came from Wuguan yesterday that the Kwantung coalition army is in a hurry to attack the Tiger Pass, and in any case, the princes from all walks of life must be forced to withdraw when the Tiger Pass is breached, otherwise once the Tiger Pass is breached, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Wasting another day here would make the situation even more dangerous.

Luo Zheng is fledgling now, but he doesn't want Dong Zhuo to be defeated so quickly.

After all, now that Dong Zhuo controls the imperial court and occupies the fame and righteousness, if Dong Zhuo is not defeated, it is still very promising to mix under Dong Zhuo. Even if Lao Dong wants to die, at least he has to wait until he has enough strength and his own territory before dying.

In a short time, all the military academies above the military academy were all in the army.

Hu Zhen sat in the first place with a red face, looked around at the generals and said: "At present, the Kwantung rebels are in a hurry to attack the Tiger Prison Pass, and the general has decided to send troops to kill Benyuzhou today, and then go to copy Kong Ling's lair, what do the generals think?" ”

"The general is wise."

The generals naturally praised in unison, and there were no different opinions.

Anyway, this is not the territory of the Xiliang Army, and everywhere it is burning, killing and looting, who will have an opinion.

Luo Zheng naturally has no opinion, the only nerve-wracking thing is that if he wants to attack Qiao County, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

After all, the Xiliang Army entered the Central Plains, and I am afraid that all parts of the country have already received the news, and it is impossible to sneak attack again. And with the loss of Wancheng, the defenders everywhere will be very vigilant, and the plan to move the tiger away from the mountain will be used once, and it will not be easy to use it again.

However, at present, it is best to dispatch troops as soon as possible, so I can only go to Yuzhou and act again.

Before dawn.

Eight thousand Xiliang cavalry left Wancheng and went north, passed through Bowang and Yexian, and went straight to Yuzhou.

Tiger Pass, the camp of the coalition army.

Yuan Shu summoned his henchman Jin Shang and asked, "Is there any news from Nanyang, have the Xiliang rebels killed in Qian County?" ”

Jin Shang replied: "No news has come yet, but ......"

"But what?"

Yuan Shu hurriedly frowned and asked.

Jin Shangdao: "However, Kong Ling knows that the Xiliang rebels have entered Yuzhou, and they have strongly advocated the withdrawal of troops in the past two days, and if they continue like this, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army, and Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Xuzhou Assassin Shi Taoqian and others have not been very active in attacking the city in the past few days, and it seems that they are also worried that the Xiliang rebels will enter their rule and copy their lair, and they probably want to retreat." ”

"Don't think about it."

Yuan Shu didn't want to think about it and said: "This general Nanyang was harmed by the Xiliang rebels, Kong Ling, Tao Qian, Liu Dai and these wall grasses still want to retreat, where is there such a cheap thing." ”

Jin Shangdao: "However, at present, the Xiliang rebels are wreaking havoc in the Central Plains, and all the princes are uncertain, and they want to return to the army to protect the territory. ”

Yuan Shu slapped the table, glared at him and said, "If anyone dares to withdraw from the army, General Ben will not be able to spare him." ”

As he spoke, hurried footsteps sounded, and a small colonel rushed in in a panic.

"General, it's not good!"

The little colonel rushed into the big tent and said loudly in a panic: "I just received news that Wancheng has been attacked by the Xiliang rebels!" ”

"What?"

Yuan Shu jumped up in shock, "What did you say, say it again?" ”

The little colonel said quickly: "General, Wancheng has been breached. ”

Yuan Shu said sharply: "Wancheng is a strong city in the world, and there are 3,000 elite soldiers stationed there, and the Xiliang rebels are lightly armed, and they do not carry baggage and siege equipment, how can they break through Wancheng, what is Yuan Yin eating?" ”

The little colonel said gloomily: "General Yuan Yin fell for the Xiliang rebels' plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain, and led two thousand troops to Bowangpo to clear the bandits who robbed our army's grain team, but as a result, he was ambushed by the Xiliang rebels, and the whole army was annihilated, and General Yuan Yin was also killed. ”

"Ah, I'm mad at me!"

Yuan Shu almost fainted, yelled, and kicked over the table.

Jin Shang was also stunned, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Even if General Yuan Yin leads troops to suppress the bandits, Wancheng should still have a thousand elite soldiers, and the Xiliang army has no siege equipment, how can it attack Wancheng lightly?" ”

The junior colonel said: "I heard that the Xiliang rebels captured General Yuan Yin and used General Yuan Yin to open the city gate." ”

Yuan Shu's face turned pale even more angrily when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Beast, damn beast, dare to conspire with a thief, if it weren't for the fact that this beast is my nephew, this general will definitely punish the three clans in other places." ”

Jin Shang sighed and asked again, "Where are the Xiliang rebels now?" ”

Xiao Xiao replied: "It's in Wancheng." ”

Jin Shang lamented: "This time Wancheng was destroyed, and none of the people of the city sergeant clan were spared. The people are just that, if the Wancheng clan is slaughtered by the Xiliang rebels, the lord is afraid that he will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Nanyang. ”

Yuan Shu's heart trembled when he heard it, and only then did he realize the problem of Yan zhòng.

It doesn't matter if the people die, the people can't rebel anyway, and people can be reborn if they are gone.

But if the gate lord of the Dishi clan under his rule is looted, who will support him Yuan Shu.

Without the support of the scholars, how can they gain a firm foothold in Nanyang.

Yuan Shu was born in a famous family, with a prominent family background, and he knew that it was powerful. In fact, he was able to occupy Nanyang, mainly because of the illustrious family of the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and only after Sun Jian killed the former Nanyang Taishou Zhang Shi, he was supported by the Nanyang clan.

If it weren't for this, how could he Yuan Shu be able to gain a firm foothold in Nanyang in a short period of time.

Now that Wancheng has been broken, once the Nanyang Shi clan is slaughtered by the Xiliang army, the consequences are unimaginable.

The more Yuan Shu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he was almost angry with Yuan Yin's idiot.

If Yuan Yin hadn't died in battle, Yuan Shu would definitely chop up that stupid disaster and throw it out to feed the dogs.

"No, General Ben will lead the army back to Nanyang immediately."

Yuan Shu stomped his foot suddenly, immediately roared, and rushed out.

Jin Shang was stunned and hurriedly followed.

Yuan Shu wanted to say goodbye without saying goodbye, but when the army moved, how could he hide it from the other princes.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other princes quickly got the news and rushed over, and after asking the reason, some people were speechless for a while, and some people were secretly schadenfreude, especially a few princes who were unhappy with Yuan Shu, and they almost laughed happily.

Watching Yuan Shu be unlucky, it is always a pleasant thing.

However, if Yuan Shu wants to run away, he can't.

Now that the Tiger Prison is about to be conquered, Yuan Shu, as the main force of the Dong coalition army, how can he retreat from the battle.

Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling previously received an urgent report from Xu Jing Kuaima, and learned that after the Xiliang rebels entered Yuzhou, he intended to retreat, but was obstructed by Yuan Shu in every way, and at this moment he saw that Yuan Shu wanted to run away, and immediately knew that he was righteous, "At present, Dong Zhuo is in trouble with the Beijing Division, the emperor is not upright, Yuan Jiali is loyal and virtuous, helping the Han family, and the road is the main force of the coalition army, and when it is time to serve the country, how can he retreat." ”

Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, Yanzhou Mu Liu Dai, Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao and other princes all agreed.

Although Yuan Shao frowned, he also said in a voice: "The matter of retiring the army will be suspended for the time being, and we will discuss it together when we return to the camp first." ”

Cao Cao also said with a smile: "What I said at the beginning is very true, now that the Tiger Prison Pass is about to be broken, we should work together to break through the pass and kill Luoyang in one fell swoop, save the Son of Heaven between fire and water, and help the Han room when it is about to fall, how can the highway retreat." ”

All the princes echoed in unison, and their hearts said that this was beautiful.

Yuan Shuqi's face was pale, and he angrily pointed at Kong Ling and scolded: "Kong Ling is old, how can An bully me like this." A few days ago, when the Xiliang rebels entered Yuzhou, who wanted to retreat, and now they dare to preach to me, this general will not be willing to rest with you. ”

No matter how well Kong Ling cultivated, her face was a little unbearable, and she retreated awkwardly.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Highway and calm down the anger first, first go to the big tent of the Chinese army and then discuss." ”

Changsha Taishou Sun Jian, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi and others also hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them, and even dragged Yuan Shu to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss how to deal with this Xiliang cavalry that was not a shallow disaster.
