Astound!

Extreme shock!

Until he left the Temporary Marshal's Mansion, Gongsun Chan still hadn't recovered from the shock, and he had forgotten what Wang Yu said later.

"My lord?" Shan Jing and Guan Jing hurried to meet them, and Gongsun Zhan stayed to have a secret conversation with Wang Yu, and the topic must be the future of the two armies. This heavy topic, like a boulder, has been pressing on Shan Jing's heart for a long time.

That's right, with the current strength and weakness, and the relationship between the two armies, it is not too difficult for Wang Yu to annex the Youzhou army.

Among the four major generals in Youzhou, Yan Gang is dead, and there is hope that the replacement will come up to the rebellion of the royal family; Zou Dan was beaten to the ground by the royal gate, and his soldiers and horses were lost; Shan Jing followed Gongsun Zhan's side, but he never mastered the military power; Tian Kai, who has the most soldiers and horses under his command and the heaviest all-out, has almost become Wang Yu's follower...... Bidding? No, it's like an arm!

With the character of the lord, as long as Wang Yu does not use too drastic means to take care of the lord's emotions towards the old brothers, this matter is really very suspenseful.

Tian Kai must be happy to see it, although Zou Dan has not been in contact with Wang Yu a few times, but he admires Wang Yu very much in private, if the lord is convinced, he must not have any objections.

But the single scripture is 10,000 reluctance.

Tian Kai and Zou Dan are pure military generals, they have been demoted, and their status may decline slightly, but their power may not be smaller than before, after all, Qingzhou's power has swelled rapidly to the point of being looked up to.

But it is different alone, his status in Youzhou is similar to that of Jia Xu and Tian Feng in Qingzhou, and he is above 10,000 people under one person. In fact, it's not just him, there are few people in Youzhou, there are many generals, and the status of people is relatively high. Although Guan Jing is only a long history and joined later, his status in the army is only slightly lower than that of Shan Jing.

These two people have a lot of power, but their fame and talent do not necessarily match. If the two of them were put among the hundreds of Jizhou staff who Wang Yu recruited to surrender and rebel during the day, it might be a little reluctant to say that they were all indifferent.

Don't look at those people who will only slap horses under Yuan Shao, in fact, it is just a survival need, if you meet a practical lord. For example, Wang Yu, most people's performance must be two kinds.

Wang Yu didn't pay much attention to those people, except for the trial. At most, others casually said a few words of encouragement, and casually arranged the duties of a county chief and chief bookkeeper, saying that they would observe first and use them later.

If Shan Jing and Guan Jing go to Qingzhou, what kind of treatment will they enjoy? They didn't expect anything from it. Not to mention that compared with now, I'm afraid that if you want to be on a par with Tian Kai and Zou Dan, you can't get it.

At this moment, I saw Gongsun Zhan's trance-like appearance. Both of them screamed in their hearts that something was wrong, and their expressions suddenly became anxious.

Shan Jing stared at Gongsun Zhan's mouth, for fear that he would say that desperate sentence. Guan Jing was calmer than Shan Jing, and his mind was full of thoughts. Thinking hard about how to get it back if something had happened, but there was nothing good to do about it, and in the end he could only stare at Gongsun Zhan.

"Brother Pengju is worthy of the name of the overlord. This kind of open-mindedness is far from it. He seemed to be alarmed by the gaze of the two great strategists. Gongsun Chan finally spoke, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he let out a heartfelt admiration.

"Lord, ...... the prince" Guan and Shan glanced at each other, and they both let go of their worries a little.

The evaluation of open-mindedness and magnanimity should not be applied to the side that has just made a forced landing on the Allied forces, and the reverse is very appropriate. Since the lord said so, at least he didn't talk about the forced landing just now.

Shan Jing didn't think that Wang Yu would let go of this good opportunity, now is the stage where the Qingzhou Army is the strongest and has the greatest advantage, and he will not take advantage of the strong to expand the results. Do you want to give your side a chance to recuperate and renew the distance?

You must know that the reason why the lord was able to withdraw from Youzhou in time to go south this time was because Liu Yu Lao'er only played yin and refused to clash with the lord head-on, but the role played by Wang Yu was also decisive.

Liu Yu instigated Xianbei and Wuhuan to join forces to attack Youzhou, the former was stronger, and the power was close to the heyday of the Xiongnu, but the Xianbei people were also widely divided, and only the eastern Xianbei was able to pose a threat to Youzhou. This time the mobilization was urgent, and only a few tribes who were unwilling to be lonely came, and after Gongsun Chan returned to the army, he easily defeated them.

The real threat is the Woo Huan.

Wu Huan's strength is far from being comparable to Xianbei, but they are close, and Liu Yu's connection is also close, Qiu Liju's son Badun is brave and good at fighting, and after ascending the throne, he has been looking for opportunities to establish prestige. This time, Wuhuan also made a big move, dispatching nearly 30,000 horsemen in one go, which can be described as inevitable.

If you really want to fight, let alone withdraw, whether Gongsun Chan can protect himself is a question.

It's a pity that the fierce blow of the Bang Dun ended before it started. Wang Yu somehow, actually caught the line of Gongsun Du in Liaodong, at the request of Wang Yu, and at the same time knew that Wuhuan made a big move, not to lure the enemy, Gongsun Du came to a yellow finch behind, and effortlessly put the old nest of Badun to the end.

This reinforcement was really beyond everyone's expectations, and the brain, which had more muscles than brains, was of course even more unexpected. After receiving the news, despite the fury like thunder, Badun could only retreat and go home to lick his wounds, where is he still in the mood to go to Youzhou to stir up the storm?

At that time, Shan Jing and the others only felt lucky, but if they turned against Wang Yu, Gongsun Du would be a major threat. He didn't just rely on sneak attacks to contain Wu Huan, this person was also a very powerful prince, but he was too far away from the Central Plains.

Wang Yu and Gongsun Du joined forces, and in fact, they had already formed a flank attack on Youzhou, so they would be so pessimistic about the future.

"You can rest assured, Brother Pengju is brave and brave, and his bearing is like the abyssal sea, and he will not do what is painful to his relatives and happy to his enemies. In fact, he invited all the princes in the name of performing martial arts, not to coerce anyone, or to set up a banquet in the Hongmen, but just to let everyone discuss and demarcate the border. ”

Gongsun Zhan looked at the two strategists, and sighed in his heart, compared with Pengju's virtuous brothers, he is not only lagging behind in terms of troops and territory, but also talent is the link with the biggest gap.

"Demarcating borders?" Shan Jing and Guan Jing looked at each other, I don't know why, I understood the words, but I couldn't understand them anyway.

Is this Tarzan little bully stupid? Negotiate now? Isn't that a complete renunciation of one's own strengths? Qingzhou is the strongest now, but the army! The strength of a family. It's enough to surpass the other three joining forces!

Even if he doesn't plan to force his own Youzhou army, at least he has to use troops to coerce Liu Yu and let him spit out all the benefits, right? Now if you don't fight, you have to negotiate?

You must know that inviting all the princes to negotiate is to put yourself in the same position as the other side, even if everyone admits that he is superior in strength and acknowledges his status as the leader of the alliance, it will not change the situation of his family against the three.

He is going to take down Jizhou so easily. Share with everyone?

Xiang Yu seems to have done the same back then, but what was the result?

It's incomprehensible, it's so incomprehensible. How could such a shrewd person do such a foolish thing?

"Pengju's foresight, you will not understand. Just staring at historical allusions and putting them on him will only end up smashing yourself in the foot. Forget it, you don't understand anyway, what did so-and-so tell you about this? Let's go, go back to camp! Gongsun Chan didn't mean to explain, and waved his hand. He took the two of them out of the city.

There were too many soldiers and horses gathered around the plains and Gaotang, and the roots of the two cities could not accommodate so many people, so they could only camp outside the city. Wang Yu and Gongsun Zhan did not fade, and both set up the handsome tent in the camp outside the city. In order to show the meaning of sharing weal and woe with the soldiers.

The boss is like this, and the generals and staff naturally don't dare to slack off, but the celebrities who were recruited all live in the city, and it looks a little upside down.

But. Although it was cold and snowy outside the city, I couldn't feel the cold. It's boiling and quite lively.

As soon as you leave the city gate, you will be greeted by a rich aroma, the smell of stewed horse meat.

There are a lot of horses captured in the war, and there are also a lot of dead horses, although horses are not conventional meat animals, but meat is meat, and in the troubled times when people's livelihood is withering, the meat of tens of thousands of war horses is a very good thing. Good things are naturally to be used to reward the three armies.

In the past two days, many people have been busy with this, peeling horse skins, cooking horse meat, and transferring a large number of seasonings from the rear.

The soldiers happily formed a circle, surrounding a mouthful of copper tripods in the middle, all of them salivating. His eyes reflected the light of the campfire, and his face was filled with joy after victory. Seeing this scene, Gongsun Chan couldn't help but stop and walked towards the circle closest to him.

Through the conversation with Wang Yu, Gongsun Chan let go of his worries, and when he was distracted, he found something interesting.

"Well, it smells good." When he got closer, Gongsun Chan took a deep breath, frowned slightly, and said strangely: "It's strange, how can it not smell?" ”

"General Gongsun!" This group of soldiers are all under the jurisdiction of the Destroying Blade Battalion, and several of them have been with Wang Yu since Luoyang, and when they saw Gongsun Zhan, they immediately got up and raised their fists to salute.

"All sit down, all sit down, all family, what are you doing so politely?" Gongsun Chan waved his hand with a smile, still staring at the previous topic: "Didn't anyone answer my question just now?" ”

Horses are very expensive in the Central Plains, even in the border stopper, there are few people who will slaughter war horses to eat, and only a veteran like him who has been in the border for a long time knows that horse meat is not only expensive, but also not very delicious, especially in the process of cooking, not only will there be a lot of white foam, but also will emit a foul smell.

So, it's not that there is no way, very few people will eat horse meat. But now the soldiers are throwing meat into the pot and eating it at the same time, this eating method body is very strange, and what is even more strange is that only the aroma of meat wafts out of the pot, but there is no stench.

"Returning to General Gongsun, this is the method of the main bus generation, the meat is cooked in a prepared broth, which contains chrysanthemum, almonds, reed roots or something, it is said that this thing can not only remove the fish, but also disinfect. The pharmacies in several nearby counties were sold out, and this was enough for the whole army. ”

"Ha, your prince is really willing, just this pot of soup costs thousands of dollars, but it's no wonder that it tastes like this." Gongsun Chan was slightly taken aback.

"My lord loves soldiers like sons, so he can win all battles!" The officer at the head said with pride on his face, and all the soldiers also echoed him.

"General Gongsun, why don't you sit down and try it too." Suddenly, someone proposed.

"I don't know how to measure!" The faces of Shan and Guan changed suddenly, and the officer led by them hurriedly shouted to his subordinates: "What kind of identity is General Gongsun, how can he sit around and eat with you." ”

The little soldier who was reprimanded was still unconvinced, and muttered, "Isn't the lord eating with everyone?" He said that this is called hot pot, so you have to get meat in the pot together, just like going into battle together to kill the enemy......"

"You still say!" The officer was even more angry, and when he was about to come out and punish him heavily, Gongsun Chan waved his hand, "They all said that they were a family, why did they make such a fuss?" Brother Pengju said this, it always makes sense, come, sit down, come together! As he spoke, he beckoned to Guan and Dan, turned around and smiled at the officer: "Or are you afraid that the old man will rob you of your meat, and the portion is not enough?" ”

"Where? If you are willing to come, it is an honor for everyone. The officer didn't mean to see the outside, but he was just afraid that Gongsun Chan would be unhappy, since the other party said so, what emotions could he have: "The lord said, in the past two days, the meat tube is enough, as long as you can eat it, you can eat it openly, how can you be afraid of robbing?" ”

At that moment, Gongsun Zhan sat down, someone offered a bowl and chopsticks, and scooped up a piece of meat, and sure enough, the entrance was fragrant, far better than the horse meat he had eaten before.

Squinting his eyes and looking at the copper tripod boiling in the fire, for a while, Gongsun Chan was also full of emotion.

Of course, he didn't care if the horse meat was delicious or not, but Wang Yu's meticulous care for the soldiers made him admire him very much. He also relied on a war knife from the bottom to kill to today's status, how can he not know that in addition to clear rewards and punishments, orders and prohibitions, there is a higher realm in governing the army?

Share weal and woe, and work together, this is the root cause of the strength of the Qingzhou Army. The powerful proof has infiltrated every detail of the army, just like this hot pot, just like this horse meat......

What woke him up was the sound of horses' hooves, although he was relaxed, but the experience of many years of battlefield battles still made him react at the first time, he got up suddenly, and said in surprise: "There is an army transfer?" Listen to the sound, I'm afraid there will be two thousand riders? ”

"Don't worry, general, it's General Zilong's cavalry, and it's back to Mount Tai."

"Zang Ba?" Gongsun Zhan suddenly realized that although the war in Hebei had ended, Qingzhou had not completely calmed down, he slowly sat back and asked in a deep voice: "How is the battle situation in Taishan?" ”

"I don't know." The officer was a military marquis, so he naturally didn't know much about this kind of confidential information, but he couldn't see too much worry on his face, so he just heard him say with confidence: "With General Yuan Zhi and Mr. Yuan Hao here, there are just thieves, and if you can't get benefits, if you know each other and retreat on your own, maybe you can still stay alive, if not...... Hum! ”

Gongsun Chan nodded silently.

Even any low-level officer in the army behaved so domineeringly, and the soldiers were brave, this was the Qingzhou Army after a hundred battles. It's no wonder that Brother Peng Juxian is so bold, not only because of his heart, but because of his strong self-confidence.
