Yuan Shang didn't beat Cai Yan in the end. He felt aggrieved for several days because of this.

It would have been a good thing to ask for a beautiful daughter-in-law, but the problem is that the identity of this beautiful daughter-in-law is really crushing. fell a generation out of thin air for no reason, how will you live this day in the future?

Especially the generation that falls, it is still the 'mother' generation, and who can not hold their breath.

Yuan Shang regretted it a little now, he had an urge to wipe his mouth after eating and not admit it.

Others marry a young wife, but he is good...... Find a mom!

It's really not good, one day pull Cai Yan to worship a handle, follow Liu Guanzhang to come to Taoyuan to tie up, worship a brother and sister with a different surname, and pull this generation back? After all, 'brother and sister love' is always more reliable than 'aunt love'.

And there is another advantage to swearing into brothers and sisters, that is, when they return to Hebei to straighten Cai Yan, when everyone pokes their backbones, they say, 'Yuan Shangri. He. Sister's better than saying'Yuan Shangri. He. Mom's strong.

It seems that the matter of swearing to Cai Yan has to be put on the agenda.

…………

In the few days of his stay in Chang'an, Yuan Shang dealt with some follow-up military and political matters in Chang'an, rearranged the military generals' camps, appointed Zhong Xuan in public to temporarily replace Chang'an, and invited the generals to Hao Zhao's mansion to visit the good words and comfort, take stock of the military academy to consolidate the city defense, and so on...... And now there is one more task, that is, to report to Cai Yan at night, after this toss, Yuan Shang yawns all day long, and tears flow.

When dealing with these things, Ma Chao has always been by Yuan Shang's side, knows his situation well, and always secretly laughs.

this day. When Yuan Shang was dealing with the secret order approval brought back by the front-line scouts, he unconsciously dozed off again, and his saliva was left little by little, and then Ma Chao couldn't stand it anymore and woke him up.

Looking at Yuan Shang's sleepy eyes, Ma Chao was a little gloating and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" I went to Cai's house again last night, and I was tired...... How long will it be? ”

Yuan Shang glanced at Ma Chao and said angrily: "The lord's gossip also dares to inquire." Have you eaten the gall of the ambitious leopard? ”

Ma Chao shook his shoulders and made a nonchalant gesture: "Doesn't this care about you?" Everyone is here, who is pretending to be it! ”

Yuan Shang snorted, pointed at Ma Chao's nose, and said, "As a general, let's use your mind in the right place!" Let me ask you, the scout came to report that Yan Xing used the territory of the five counties of Liangzhou as an advantage, and asked Song Jian to send troops. Song Jian agreed to Yan Xing's request to send troops, but refused to accept the territory of the five counties of Liangzhou, and Yan Xing said that he would let Song Jian take over the five counties, and one refused to accept it. One is sending it out, what do you think they are doing this for? ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and stared at Yuan Shang tightly. puzzled: "There is still such a thing in the world, and you can't send it to the land?" Lie to me! ”

Yuan Shang raised the letterhead from the scout in his hand and said, "The information just presented. Absolutely true. ”

Ma Chao touched his chin, frowned and thought carefully for a while, and said, "I can't think of what these two thieves are up to...... When I was young, I heard the story of 'Kong Rong made pears', saying that when Kong Daru was a child, his father gave him a few large and small pears and asked him to share them with his friends...... But the problem is that Kong Rong is divided into pears, not divided into land and cities, so it doesn't matter if you let out a few...... Yan Xing and Song Jian started a rebellion, that is, they tried to conquer the territory of Guanzhong, but now they began to humble each other...... It doesn't make sense! ”

Yuan Shangchang sighed, pointed at Ma Chao, and said: "You, if you are brave, you are brave, but your grasp of the battle situation and the current situation is too poor, and you still have to practice............ the essence of the principles of 'Kong Rong Rang Pear' and 'Yan Xing and Song Jian Rang Territory' are actually the same!" Let me ask you, do you know why Kong Rong let the pear? ”

Ma Chao blinked his eyes and said, "Is it because Kong Rong has a deep understanding of Confucianism and knows the way of respecting the old and loving the young?" ”

"You're full of books but don't ask for much understanding!"

Yuan Shang looked at Ma Chao and sighed and said: "A four-year-old child, he knows the true meaning of bullshit Confucianism...... Tell you, Kong Rong made pears because he didn't like to eat pears! ”

Ma Chao suddenly realized when he heard this.

"So, Yan Xing and Song Jian are now ceding territory to each other, also because they think those cities are unpalatable?"

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "At least until they drive me out of Guanzhong, they can't eat so much territory with their appetites...... Concentrating superior forces to destroy me is their first priority...... To divide so many troops to garrison, it is easy to consume the strength of their own formation, and it is not easy to preserve their strength in the battle, which is why they let pears. ”

Under the guidance of Yuan Shang, Ma Chao seemed to be gradually ascending to the Tao, and while he was thinking, he muttered: "In this way, although Song Jian agreed to Yan Xing to send troops, the alliance between the two is actually not strong, and they reserve each other, and they both have calculations?" ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he showed a smile: "The son can be taught." ”

Ma Chao's face was straight, and he arched his hand at Yuan Shang and said: "The lord, Yan, the two thieves of the Song Dynasty look like they are separated, although there are many soldiers and horses, there is nothing to be afraid of, the last general will ask for orders to fight for the front, defeat the two thieves, and worry about the lord!" ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "You must be the vanguard, but if it is a head-to-head battle, there are too many enemy soldiers and horses, and the result of the head-to-head confrontation is still unpredictable...... And if I want to break the alliance between them, I have to create some changes, so I'm going to use some means. ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Something happened...... Means? What means? ”

Yuan Shang stood up, walked to the screen behind him, and pointed to the Jincheng and Heshou areas in the west of Liangzhou and said.

"Send surprise soldiers to attack Yan Xing's Jincheng and Song Jian's Caohan! This is the base camp for both of them! ”

Ma Chao was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Attack Jincheng and Caohan...... This, this is too risky, right? Yan Xing's Jincheng is located in the border of Liangzhou, but it is reluctant, and Song Jian's Caohan is far away in the land of the head of the river, and even outside the territory of Qianghu! It is too risky to go so deep into the enemy territory and attack for thousands of miles. If the attacking soldiers and horses are unknown to the enemy, if they are gathered and annihilated by the rebels, they will lose all their money...... This method is really dangerous! It's better for the lord to think clearly. ”

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Yes, I understand that I need two surprise troops to sneak attack these two places, and the generals who take the lead must be brave and decisive, good at running, and advance and retreat quickly!" I now have one of them. But there's still a ...... missing."

Ma Chao heard this: "There is one? Who is it? ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and ordered, "Help me find Xiahou Yuan." ”

“…………”

When he was young, he saw the majestic Xiahou Yuan, walking into the main hall with his head held high, he looked around, arched his hand at Yuan Shang, and said proudly: "Looking for me?" ”

"Sit!" Yuan Shang nodded to the couch seat on the side.

Xiahou Yuan was also not polite, knelt down on the soft collapse with a grin, and turned his head to look at Yuan Shang.

"The three thousand cavalry. I haven't used it, I've given it to you for training, and now that the time has come, I don't know if it's possible? ”

Xiahou Yuan heard this. His eyes suddenly flashed with a fine light, and he nodded: "I should teach, I have almost taught it, this army of soldiers and horses." It's time for real combat...... What, you're sending us into battle? ”

Yuan Shang nodded, and then made a statement to Xiahou Yuan about his plan to raid Yan Xing's Jincheng and Song Jianyuhan.

After Xiahou Yuan listened. Bow your head in contemplation.

When he was young, he raised his head and said, "This cavalry, I was specially formed according to the strategy of rushing!" Outside the four counties of Hexi, hundreds of years ago was the territory of the Huns, the desert and grasslands were mixed, and the champion Hou Huo Qubing was in Hexi where he went deep into the enemy territory to recover...... In this way, it shows that although the strategy of rushing is dangerous, it is correct! But if I want to attack Jincheng and Caohan at the same time, I'm afraid that I can't do it with this army at the moment, I can only attack one place at most, and the chance of winning is only between five and five. ”

Yuan Shang was silent when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Can you only attack the lair of Song Jian or Yan Xing's side?" In this way, I am afraid that my strategy will be greatly compromised......"

Xiahou Yuan said: "In such a short time, it is not easy for me to get the soldiers out!" ”

Yuan Shang had a headache when he heard this.

Just as he was distressed and should let Xiahou Yuan go to attack the lair of the two thieves, Gao Rou hurriedly ran into the main hall, arched his hand at Yuan Shangyi, and said eagerly: "Lord! Joyful, joyful! ”

Yuan Shang raised his head, looked at Gao Rou, and said, "What kind of happy event?" ”

"A few days ago, Wang Ling, who was defeated by the expedition of Zhao Dadu Governor and did not know his whereabouts, came back...... He also brought Ma Teng, the news of the old man Ma! ”

Yuan Shang and Ma Chao got up in surprise at the same time!

"My dad...... Him, his news?! ”

"News from Old Man Ma? Let Wang Ling in! ”

When he was young, he saw a sturdy general striding into the hall, clasping his fists at Yuan Shang and kneeling on one knee.

"The last general, Wang Ling, who has ten carved arrows, has seen the Great Sima General!"

Yuan Shang smiled and waved his hand: "General Wang, please hurry up!" ”

"General Xie Da Sima!"

Yuan Shang looked at Wang Ling with a smile, nodded while looking at it, and said, "General Wang, you accompanied Zhao Yun on an expedition to Caohan before, and there was no news of the defeat of the soldiers and horses, I thought you were dead...... Unexpectedly, he came back alive now and brought back the news of General Malao...... Okay, that's great, how is General Ma? Is it dangerous? ”

Wang Ling smiled and said: "General, General Ma Lao is not only not dangerous, but now he is also a strong soldier, lurking in the wilderness near Dunhuang, collecting the defeated army that was scattered with the expedition of Zhao Dudu in the past, and secretly uniting a part of the Qiang tribe who are friendly to the Ma family!" Intend to raise an incident in Xizhou and respond to the general! ”

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and said, "General Ma...... Collect the defeated army? Intent? ”

Wang Ling nodded heavily, and said: "Yes, when Zhao Dadu was defeated, almost all of his subordinates were annexed by Yan Xing, but there are still remnants of the collapse, General Ma Lao is to collect the remnants of about 10,000 soldiers, and contact some Qiang tribesmen who are not friendly with Yan Xing, just wait for the general to enter the customs, and then raise an incident in Xizhou, sneak attack Jincheng to rescue Zhao Dudu!" In addition, in addition to the last general, Wen Hui, Jia Kui, Zhang Ji, Wang Xiong, and Sima Fu who were ten carved arrows were all around the old general...... He was ordered to report the news, but he did not dare to go deeper, and only dared to inform the general when the danger of Chang'an was resolved. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The old man Ma Teng, really not a simple character, the bird is quietly hiding in the hinterland of Xirong, and he can still play such a big name, if he attacks Jincheng and successfully rescues Zhao Yun, it will be of great help to recover the land of Guanzhong, which is tantamount to giving Yan Xing a blow to the head!

If this plan is successful, Ma Teng will be the first achievement!

He didn't want Yuan Shang to ask about it, he frowned, looked at Wang Ling quietly, and asked curiously: "What you just said, ten carved arrows...... What is it? ”

Beside Yuan Shang, Gao Rou explained to Yuan Shang with a smile: "The ten carved arrows are the nicknames given to us by the Governor of Zhao, which is intended to be a metaphor for the ten of us as his right-hand men, his subordinates. ”

Yuan Shang blinked and said suspiciously, "Zhao Yun...... That's how you compared? ”

Gao Rou nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"An arrow as a metaphor for a man?"

Gao Rou was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong?" The last general thinks it's very imposing! ”

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Shang's mouth: "This metaphor still has momentum?" I ask you, what is the thing that makes man and arrow one? ”

Gao Rou was stunned when she heard this, and muttered to herself.

"People and arrows are one, it seems to be a 'arrow man'............ After the lord extended it like this, this nickname seems to be a little stumbling. ”

Yuan Shangchang sighed and nodded, "Ten sluts under Zhao Yun's command...... It's just a little stumbling. ”

“…………”

Turning his head, Yuan Shang said to Xiahou Yuan: "Since it was General Ma Lao who attacked Jincheng secretly, then my father-in-law, I will bother your three thousand cavalry to sneak attack Song Jian's Caohan...... This battle almost spanned the two states of Yongliang, the desert grassland, and the realm of Hexi, and it was dangerous! You need to be careful! ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded and said, "This matter is on me, before going to war, do you want to meet this troop of cavalry?" ”

Yuan Shang thought about it and nodded, "Okay!" I'll go to the camp early tomorrow morning to count the three thousand raiding cavalry! ”

…………

In the early morning of the next day, the first thing Yuan Shang did was to follow Xiahou Yuan to this selected cavalry camp of 3,000 people.

Seeing these cavalry, Yuan Shang couldn't help but be a little stunned.

I thought that Xiahou Yuan's selection of troops must be a strong general, but if you take a closer look, you will find that these people are not all strong men, but tall and short, fat and thin.

As if seeing the doubts in Yuan Shang's eyes, Xiahou Yuan explained to him: "The cavalry used for long-distance running is different from iron cavalry, light cavalry, bow cavalry, and heavy cavalry, and the focus is not on combat power, but on endurance and staying power. ”

Seeing that Yuan Shang seemed to be a little confused, Xiahou Yuan walked to the front of the team, pointed to a cavalryman, and said, "Tell the lord, what did you do before joining the army?" ”

The soldier strode out and said, "Lord, the villain was a veterinarian before joining the army!" ”

"............" (To be continued......)
