In the tent of Shuai, Yuan Shang wanted to reward Yan Xing and Pang De again, commending them for defeating Cao Chun, and laid the foundation for the victory attack of the tiger and leopard cavalry being defeated in one fell swoop, which directly led to Cao Cao's defeat, but Yan Xing gladly accepted it, but he didn't want Pang De to be stubborn and refused to take the credit, so that Yuan Shang couldn't get off the stage, and the atmosphere was embarrassing for a while, and the situation in the tent was unprecedentedly weird.

Yuan Shang's face was a little unbearable, if it weren't for the fact that he knew in his heart that the person in front of him was the immortal general who had fought Guan Yu in the decisive battle with the coffin and could confront him head-on, it is estimated that Yuan Shang's sour temper would have exploded long ago! Jumped and ran up to cut Pound!

Of course, in addition to believing that Pang De is an immortal general, Yuan Shang also has the element of fear of Pang De's personal force, because if Yuan Shang really pounces on Pang De, according to the concept in his heart, Yuan Shang feels that he should not be able to cut him, and the situation of being cut by Pang De should be relatively large.

"Why did General Pang say this, didn't he have any bitterness for Yuan in his heart? Don't want to accept my reward? Yuan Shang was not happy in his heart, but he also practiced the potential of joy and anger, so he did not get angry on the spot, but asked Pang De with a smile, which was quite elegant.

Pang De's bearded face showed a trace of worry, and then hurriedly arched his hand, and said: "Yuan Gong misunderstood, Pang did not mean not to receive Yuan Gong's reward, nor did he have any guilt for Yuan Gong, but this time Pang Mou resolutely could not ask for the reward, because all the credit this time was attributed to General Yan Xingyan, who repelled Cao Chun with a spear, so that he was seriously injured, and there was nothing to do, and a certain general felt ashamed, so he did not dare to receive the reward." ”

When Yan Xing heard this, his face showed a trace of unhappiness, but he didn't say anything, just stood there faintly, and his eyes unconsciously revealed some light that others couldn't figure out.

Yuan Shang saw Pang De's tone respectfully. But the words were resolute, and there were some doubts in my heart, so I thought about it and then said: "Well, okay, the two of you go down to rest first, and after Yuan understands the specific situation, he will make a reward plan for you again." ”

The second general immediately thanked and retreated, and after Yuan Shang watched the two leave, he immediately touched his chin, and the thoughts in his mind fell into deep contemplation.

After a while. But seeing Zhao Yun striding into the handsome tent, looking at Yuan Shang's slightly worried face, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, and said lightly: "What's wrong?" Got something on your mind? ”

Yuan Shang glanced up at him, lightly tapped the table, and said: "Suddenly merged into the Ma Family Army, the number and generals are unprecedentedly high, and the transfer of the entire soldiers and horses and personnel relations need to be further smoothed out, and it is very complicated. Let's not say that Ma Chao is a thorn, just that Nan'an's Pound, it doesn't seem to be very convincing to me, these rotten horse troughs are a little difficult to manage in the future. ”

Zhao Yun heard this. nodded and said, "Ma Chao is a person with a burst temperament and self-serving bravery. I once had a gap with us, and it was indeed a bit difficult in the short term to completely subdue his heart. However, I think Pound is a person who is brave and scheming, and can distinguish between right and wrong, and should not be a master who can stab, how can you have an opinion on him? ”

Yuan Shang let out a long sigh, and then explained what happened to Zhao Yun clearly, and then sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "I want to give the second general a reward for defeating Cao Chun this time, but Yan Xing is quite acceptable, but that Pang De said that he would not accept my reward, and I don't know if he has a prejudice against me, or if he really doesn't feel that he has made any contributions, which makes me confused." ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Actually, in my opinion, Pang De doesn't have any prejudices and malice towards you, in fact, what he really dislikes is just that Yan Xing." ”

"Yan Xing?" Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, and said curiously: "What's wrong with Yan Xing?" Jumped into the well with his child? ”

Zhao Yun: "Can you be serious?" ”

Yuan Shangha was happy and said, "Just kidding, what's going on?" If you know what you say, you might as well tell me everything, so that I can analyze it carefully. ”

When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately made it clear to Yuan Shang about his dissatisfaction with Yan Xing's various behaviors during this period of time, and finally said in a summary manner: "Lord, in my opinion, Yan Xing is not a general who can be trusted, not to mention how despicable he was in attacking Cao Chun this time, just talking about the incident when he betrayed Han Sui, you can see this person's character, in all fairness, Han Sui is a little stupid, and his actions are a little too despicable, But he has always treated Yan Xing with his relatives and confidants, and has high hopes for him, but Yan Xing, as a general under Han Sui, completely betrayed Han Sui without any intention of being treacherous to him, not only hid Ma Teng privately against his orders, but also abandoned him at the time of danger in order to protect himself, how can such a person stay under the account for his own use, I am afraid that he will be in trouble in the future! ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, his face became dark, and unconsciously, he seemed to think of Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Wei Yan when he watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life.

After pondering for a long time, he saw Yuan Shang shake his head and said, "Brother Zilong, what do you think of Yan Xing's martial arts and talent?" ”

Zhao Yun thought for a while, nodded and said: "Wu Yong is very brave, not under Zhang Jaw and other fierce generals, he has a lot of mind, and his ability to march and arrange formations is first-class, and he is a rare good general." ”

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard this: "That's it, in all fairness, in our Hebei, there are many soldiers, more food, more generals, and more strategists, but the only thing that is lacking is the generals and fierce generals who can take charge alone!" Since the ugly death of Yan Liangwen, in Hebei generals, I have always felt a little stretched, although there are many people, but the available talents are not enough at all, now Ma Teng's army is obedient, I have more Ma Chao, Pang De, Yan Xing, these are a few usable talents that can be used out of thin air, it is the time to show their ambitions and show their strengths, at this time, if he is killed because of a little thing out of thin air, who will be willing to submit to our army in the future? And the generals of the Ma Jiajun are bound to be in danger of themselves, and they have a grudge against me, and although Yan Xing's actions are disloyal, they have made a great contribution to our army, if there is no him, you and I basically can't predict what the current situation is on the battlefield in Guanzhong, killing one person and blocking the hope of the world, I personally think that it is not advisable. ”

Zhao Yun sighed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Then in your opinion, just leave him like this?" You are not afraid of any misfortune in the future. ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "With you and me, there should be no problem, just look at it carefully, to be honest, I am really reluctant to kill Yan Xing." ”

"That's good!" Zhao Yun nodded when he heard this: "Since you want to keep him, then I don't want to block him too much, but for the sake of safety, it's best for you to place him under my command, and I will arrange the transfer in a unified manner, or you can be restrained." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shang nodded and smiled: "No problem, just do as you say." Let Yan Xing be by your side, you are the positive, he is the deputy, both use it and prevent it, okay? ”

However, Yuan Shang didn't expect that today's decision to love talent would make him regret it too much! As a result, there was almost a huge mess in the future, and he almost didn't regret it for the rest of his life.

************************

Weinan, Cao Cao's camp.

The tripartite battle between Yuan and Cao and Ma, the two sides of Yuan and Ma suddenly united halfway, and Cao Cao was caught off guard, and the soldiers and horses were greatly damaged, which was almost a big injury to Cao Cao's heart.

However, in addition to this incident, what made Cao Cao feel even more sad was that Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry that he had always regarded as his right-hand man, was wounded in the spear in this battle, and the first night of the withdrawal of troops back to the camp, he died suddenly because of the wound, so that Cao Cao lost his beloved general while losing his army, and the pain in his heart can hardly be expressed in words.

In the temporary mourning hall built by Cao Ying for Cao Chun, Cao Cao looked at Cao Chun's tablet fixedly, his eyes were empty, and he stood all night, his lips were chapped, his hair and beard became snow-white, as if he had aged dozens of years overnight, like a towering old man, crumbling in the wind and candles.

Behind Cao Cao, Cheng Yu also accompanied him motionlessly, this old man who is usually tough and wise, it seems that he has no good plans at the moment, just standing silently beside Cao Cao, and using his own actions to show his loyalty to Cao Cao.

After standing like this all night, Cheng Yu finally let out a long breath and said, "Ming Gong, you haven't eaten for several hours and eaten something." ”

Cao Cao's posture remained still, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "Zhongde, do you think that at this time, Lone is still in the mood to eat anything?" ”

Cheng Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, how can there be immortals in war?" What's more, our army's strategy this time can be said to have no problems, but who is the will of heaven actually let Ma Jiajun and Yuan Shang resolve the feud, this is the will of heaven is irreversible, and Ming Gong does not need to blame himself too much. ”

"Providence?" Cao Cao shook his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that it may not be, if Feng Xiao is here, with his wisdom, he will definitely be able to think about it, and he will definitely not let Lone have such a fiasco!" ”

Cheng Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Feng Xiao is sick and can't go out of Xudu, isn't this a kind of providence?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this, and then said in a low voice: "Could it be that the will of heaven should be in Yuan now?" ”

Cheng Yu was silent for a long time: "Providence is unpredictable, and the old man is not sure, but compared to Yuan Shang, now the old man is more worried about the safety of Xu Du, and the lord Liu Biao is not worried, but Liu Bei is lying in Jingzhou, but it is necessary to guard against it." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head and said: "At this point, Zhongde, don't worry, long before leaving Xudu, Gu has already made proper arrangements, Liu Bei, if he stays in Jingzhou in peace, if he dares to sneak attack Xudu, Lone will definitely let him die without a place to be buried!"
