Chapter 117: The Prelude to the Battle of Cangting
Zhao Yun agreed to the union, which was a good thing for Yuan Shang.
Whether it is voluntary or not, from today onwards, Yuan Shang has the first general, and this general's skills are not bad, and he is very good.
Although Zhao Yun didn't want to help Yuan Shang go into battle to kill the enemy, this was not a problem for Yuan Shang at all.
The leap and agility of modern people's thinking are incomparable to the ancients who were educated by Confucianism since childhood, even if the other party is Zhao Yun.
It's not that Yuan Shang is boasting, when the day comes when there is a war, he has a thousand ways to force Zhao Yun to go to the battlefield to fight for him, and he has enough motivation to ensure that he wins this battle.
Don't doubt that Yuan Shang has this kind of means and ability.
On the second day after agreeing on three things, Yuan Shang personally came to pick up Zhao Yun from prison.
The jailer had already packed up his robe for Zhao Yun, although he still had a dish on his face, but after wearing the cyan robe, he looked personable, heroic, and quite a bit of Confucian style.
"Brother Zilong~~ I'm here to pick you up." After entering the cell, Yuan Shang greeted Zhao Yun with a smile.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but have goosebumps all over his body, and gritted his teeth and popped out a few words from his mouth: "Don't call me Brother Zilong!" ”
"Don't be so stingy, everyone is happy when you get out of prison today, look at what gift I specially prepared for you?" Yuan Shang turned a deaf ear, and with a smile, he took out a doll-like object made of cloth from the show's bag.
Zhao Yun had never seen this thing before, his eyes couldn't help but straighten a little, and he was curious: "What is this?" ”
Yuan Shang was happy and said: "I don't understand, this is called Qingtianwa, also known as Xiaoqingyang, which is a metaphor for the spring flowers blooming and the rain is clear. Congratulations to Brother Zilong on getting out of prison in the haze. From now on, the future is open, and the sun will shine for a lifetime! ”
Zhao Yun raised an eyebrow slightly, shook the doll in his hand and said, "You shouldn't have done this, right?" ”
"What are you talking about, who will sew this thing, it is our dumb Xiaojuan who sews it under my guidance!"
Zhao Yun looked back and forth at the doll left and right, and muttered: "The thing is made decently, quite like a person, but the ears are a little big, and the proportions are slightly incongruous." ”
Yuan Shang was happy and said, "You can also see it?" I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep if you don't live well. specially asked us to sew Juan Er according to Liu Bei's example, you can sleep in your arms at night, how about it? Isn't it more fucking realistic than a real person, if you like it, I'll ask Juan Er to sew you a big one when you go back. The kind that can be inflated. ”
Zhao Yun's face suddenly collapsed, and he threw Liu Bei's version of Xiao Qingyang back to him in disgust, staring at Yuan Shang's eyes filled with deep anger.
"Lead me out of the city!" Zhao Yun's teeth chattered slightly, and he tried his best to resist the urge to raise his hand and strangle Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang was slightly aggrieved and asked, "Brother Zilong doesn't like it?" Why don't I ask Juan Er to make you a Zhang Fei version? It's just that the taste is a bit heavy. ”
"I don't want Xiao Qingyang, I don't want anyone to look like, don't call me Brother Zilong!" Zhao Yun's face turned red. His lips trembled.
After taking Zhao Yun out of the prison, and then sending someone to settle the remnants of the White Horse Yicong, Yuan Shangfang returned to the county government with Shi Shiran, just as he was waiting in the main hall.
Seeing Yuan Shang, he bowed his hand and asked, "Gongzi settled that Zhao Yun?" ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Settle down." There is also the white horse righteous servant under his command, which is still under his command, and Mr. Fu will help me take care of it, and I must strictly guard them, and I must not use his sword soldiers. In terms of grain and straw, just provide a concubine, don't be too extravagant, I will do something about them in the future. ”…,
"No." Frustrated, write it down carefully. Then he said: "Childe, for Zhao Yun, do we want to show kindness and righteousness in order to win his heart?" ”
Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said, "Give grace and righteousness? How? ”
Fu Zhu smiled and said: "In the battle of Xiapi back then, Cao Cao recruited Guan Yu, a small banquet on three days and a big banquet on the fifth day, a gold on the horse and a silver on the horse, the title of beauty is used in everything, everything is done, it can only be said that love is thirsty, Zhao Yun is not under Guan Yu, if the prince wants to accept him, this kindness and righteousness are solicited, but it cannot be under Cao Cao." ”
Yuan Shang laughed "hum", and said slowly: "Normal food and lodging are enough for him, what are you doing with those fancy shelves?" Habitual to his faults. ”
Frustrated when he heard this, he was surprised: "However, Cao Cao treated Guan Yu back then"
"Back then, Cao Cao put Guan Yu on the pole, did Guan Yu surrender to Cao Cao?" Yuan Shang asked rhetorically.
"Nope"
"What about others?"
Frustrated Zhu's face twitched: "Hang the seal and seal the gold, and after five levels, six generals will run away." ”
"That's it, so it's not good to use the so-called general kindness for a martial artist like Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, these bastards, relying on a bit of ability, the idea is more positive than the other, you look at Cao Cao, the hot face is against the cold ass, chasing Guan Yu has no dignity at all, and the most stubborn one still makes the family have a good meal, and my son doesn't urinate on them, just do what I say, and I have my own disposal in the future."
Frustrated, his face was calm, and he didn't know what Yuan Shang meant, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll save it!" ”
After speaking, he seemed to think of something again, and continued: "Childe, the emergency military situation from Yecheng, there is something big happening in the Central Plains. ”
"What's the big deal?"
"Cao Cao led his troops, defeated Liu Bei in Runan, and recovered the two counties of Yuzhou in one fell swoop.
When Yuan Shang heard this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he said: "Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei so quickly, it has only been a few months, and Cao Cao has leveled Liu Bei?" ”
Fu Zhu nodded and sighed: "This matter is also not expected, Cao Cao's speed of sending troops, the strength of the army, is far beyond the estimate of the grant, it is really my Yuan's first enemy, now Liu Bei is defeated, the advantage of the north and south sides has been lost, our army must be good to live in the field to raise grain, strictly guard the key roads of Hebei, and train soldiers and horses." It is the best policy to take the after-effect of the picture. ”
Yuan Shang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said, "Then according to Mr. Tou, will my father adopt such a conservative strategy?" ”
Fu Zhichang sighed and said in a low voice: "Not only will it not, but what I am afraid of is that the lord has already prepared grain, gathered soldiers and horses, and is ready to go south to fight Cao Cao." ”
Yuan Shang's brows tightened: "Then, according to Mr.'s opinion, when will my father raise troops to the south." ”
"It's been nearly two months since we came to Wuji County, and the Lord has an order to raise troops. At the latest, it will not be the end of the month."
March of the sixth year of Jian'an.
Today's Yecheng Taiwei Military Mansion is like a city, and nearly 60 Yecheng civil and military academies are gathered in the main hall, waiting for Yuan Shao to issue a military order.
The Taiwei Mansion was as solemn and solemn as ever, and the gorgeous courtyard was spotlessly cleaned up by the subordinates. From the main gate to the front yard, and then to the cloister, there are guards from the Gray Frost Battalion of the pro-army under Yuan Shao everywhere, and a team of non-commissioned officers patrol and guard back and forth, and their bodies are full of fierce and elite spirit, and everything seems to be a sign that something big is about to happen.
Everyone standing in the hall knew very well in their hearts that after today's meeting, a bloody storm swept across the north and south banks of the Yellow River. Coming soon. …,
At the beginning of the hour, Yuan Shao was dressed in a gray robe, with a solemn complexion, as heroic as usual, he carried his hands behind his back, surrounded by a group of personal guards. He walked into the hall with his head held high.
The sharp gaze swept over the faces of everyone present, Yuan Shao let out a long sigh of relief, and said as if he was feeling emotional and mocking: "Everyone, spring is deep." ”
When everyone heard this, their bodies were all in one place. Yuan Shao's words were tactful, but who could not know the meaning?
The snow has melted, and spring has come. It's a good season to use soldiers.
Yuan Shao saw that everyone was silent and speechless, and his face showed a resolute color, and said to everyone: "A few years ago, our army waved south, and Cao thieves competed in the Central Plains, the soldiers and horses lost and Guandu, Yuan was deeply ashamed of it, and thought about it every day, and figured out the reason, the battle of Guandu, not the crime of war, it was really the will of heaven to make people, I should have stopped the army, in order to succeed, how could Cao thief coerce the Son of Heaven in Xudu, several humiliations, slaughter of loyalty, and daily arrogance is more and more prosperous, it is really heaven and earth that do not tolerate!" This time is the middle of spring, I intend to raise the soldiers and horses of the counties in the four states again, go south to attack Cao, save the Han family from the decline, save the Son of Heaven from the tiger's mouth, and return the world to the world. ”
White Horse, before the battle of Guandu, Tian Feng was frustrated and gave his close ministers the courage to risk death to admonish, but it was still not adopted by Yuan Shao, and now, who dares to come forward to dissuade him?
Among the crowd, Guo Tu reacted the fastest, came out first, and said loudly: "The lord is the god of the heavens, the merit is in the world, and the talent is not talented, and he is willing to serve the Ming Gong to death!" ”
The others did not lag behind one by one, and hurriedly went out of work and shouted loudly: "I am willing to serve Ming Gong and die." ”
Yuan Shao slapped the table and said, "Okay! Zhengnan, Chen Lin, the two of you immediately wrote a book with Qing, You, and Sanzhouzhi, Zhuo Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Gao Gan immediately dispatched troops and horses to Wei County to join my division, and ordered Xianfu to return from Wuji immediately, and go south with me to cross the river, and then take Xudu! ”
"No."
"My lord." But listening to a gentle voice, it was now one of the masterminds who was tied with the trial, Xun Chen, and said: "Lord, according to the foolish opinion below, our army has repeatedly clashed with Cao Cao in Baima, Yanjin, and Guandu several times last year, Cao thief is firmly guarded, although the strength of our army is large, but the delay is still a sizeless achievement, just because Xu Du is Cao Cao's lifeblood, but also the Son of Heaven, if you want to take it directly, I am afraid that it will take a lot of trouble, the lord may wish to change his tactics this time, take the Pingqiu River to the east, first seize the land left by Chen as the foundation, and then turn the army to the east, Eat it slowly, so that the thief is defenseless, so that the full merit can be obtained. ”
Yuan Shao touched his chin when he heard this, nodded and said: "It's good to cross the river from Pingqiu to Pingqiu, this is very good!" According to Youruo's words, first go to Pingqiu to cross the river, take Chen Liu, and then take Xuchang. ”
At the end of March of the sixth year of Jian'an, the general, Tai Lieutenant, led Yuan Shao, the pastor of Jizhou, issued an order to summon three sons and one nephew to return to Yecheng, gather Hebei elite soldiers, and once again go south to attack Cao.
In the middle of the night when it was decided to attack Cao, Yecheng was stormy, lightning and thunder roared, as if even God had foreshadowed the next duel between the two heroes in the north and was restless.
In the study of the General's Mansion, Yuan Shao held a wine cup in his hand, his face was flushed, listening to the whistling north wind outside the window, looking at the Pitu on the table, his face unconsciously revealed a trace of resolution.
"Cao Apu, in the world of this big man, there is no room for two dragons to fly in the sky, Yuan swears, this time, you and I must divide the real victory! Either you die, or I die! There is no such thing as co-living."
