Chapter 70 The History of Yuzhou's Thorns
Xu Huang's big axe cavalry Wang Xu saw it, although because he had just started training, Su zhì was not good enough, and the axe technique was also extremely jerky. But the future of this cavalry is undoubted, as long as it is honed, although there are only a hundred people, it can improve the combat effectiveness of Wang Xu's two thousand soldiers by at least one level.
It's a pity that Wang Xu also inexplicably took on a debt because of this. The processing cost of those hundred battle axes is not low, especially Xu Huang's!
Because the time to build Xu Huang's long-handled axe is exactly the same as the time to build another hundred axes, and it is more than twice as heavy!
But now, where did Wang Xu get so much money to pay for them? Although Wang Xu can refuse to pay the bill with the power in his hands, he really can't do that kind of powerful and bullying thing to these ordinary people. In desperation, he had no choice but to find a local official from the Changsha as a guarantee and wrote countless IOUs.
But what Wang Xu didn't expect was that when these people were summoned to come over to issue IOUs, they offered not to pay any fees, but instead sang the praises of his efforts in the first battle of the long society and treated him as a hero, which made him really moved!
But Wang Xu finally wrote the IOUs one by one, whether in public or private, he was not willing to let these people suffer.
After dealing with all kinds of things for two days, Wang Xu took his 2,000 soldiers and horses to embark on the journey again, and drove along the Weishui River to Chen State. Originally, he still wanted to go with Sun Jian, but unfortunately after inquiring, he learned that Sun Jian's injuries were relatively minor, and he had left with his troops ten days ago......
Before the prancing horse marched before the sergeant, although Wang Xu was still very young, he also had the calm bearing of a general, and he was more stable and imposing than when he first led the army!
And he is in a good mood at the moment, although his official position is only a military cadet, and the soldiers he brings are less than 2,000, and most of them are infantry. But this is a real army, and the feeling is completely different from that of bringing your own private soldiers!
What's more, there is Gao Shun in front of the road, and Xu Huang in the back. Although these two future generals are also enthusiastic young people who have just set foot in the battlefield at this moment, Wang Xu also has a great sense of accomplishment in his heart!
The march was extremely boring, and even a lively person like Zhou Zhi lost that sense of excitement after running around the troops a few times, and was following Wang Xu dejectedly at the moment.
He couldn't bear the loneliness, and when he saw that everyone was sullen and didn't speak, he immediately couldn't help but get close to Wang Xu with the royal horse, and the horses that rode were almost close together.
Seeing Wang Xu glaring at him with slanted eyes, he smiled and said, "Boss, you can talk to me for a while!" I can't take it anymore! ”
"If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, just like you, and you still expect to be a general one day?"
Facing Wang Xu's disdainful eyes, Zhou Zhi was not angry, but smiled with a smile: "What's this, just go down more, and slowly get used to it!" But as you said, as long as I can prove myself, give me a chance to show it! The gentleman said, the horse is hard to chase, don't make an excuse to leave me aside. ”
"Cut! Do you think I'm you? Although I am not a gentleman, I still speak my word. But look at your virtue, it's not me talking about you, hee-hee-ha all day long, and the cranial nerves are often short-circuited, where do you look like a general? ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi smiled indifferently, but quibbled: "What is this?" Talking and laughing, the one who is in ashes is the real general! ”
Looking at Zhou Zhi's self-sufficient appearance, Xu Shu, who had been walking silently on Wang Xu's left, couldn't help laughing, and interjected sarcastically: "Still talking and laughing, people mean calm." But your kind of smile is simply a smirk with a stuck head, can it be the same? I can't stand you, I don't have a serious time all day long. ”
"Huh! Sister-in-law, you don't know this, geniuses and madmen are usually just a thin line! ”
Hearing this, Wang Xu immediately grinned and continued: "But you have always been under the line, and I have never seen you go up!" ”
“…… Forget it, I won't tell you, you're jealous! ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Xu and Xu Shu immediately gave him a roll of the eyes, and they didn't bother to talk to him anymore, and continuing this idiot-like conversation was completely insulting their own intelligence.
It can be seen that the two of them ignored themselves, and Zhou Zhi on the side turned his eyes around again. Glancing at Wang Fei, after seeing him check the formation in the distance, he lowered his voice and asked, "Boss, let me ask you a serious matter!" ”
Hearing that it was a serious matter, Wang Xu also reluctantly lifted a trace of spirit, and squinted his eyes and replied: "Ask!" What's up? ”
"When the meeting was held two days ago, Wang Fei said that Wang Yun, the assassin of Yuzhou, had good results. I wanted to ask, but unfortunately I never got the chance. Do you think this Wang Yun is the Wang Yun who offers beauty schemes? ”
"Hmmm! Yes. Seeing that Zhou Zhi finally asked something meaningful, Wang Xu didn't plan to hide his secrets, after all, knowing more about it would be beneficial for everyone in the future.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhi's interest suddenly became stronger, and he immediately asked, "But isn't he Lord Situ, one of the Three Princes?" Why did it become the history of Yuzhou thorns again? ”
"What's so strange about that? Are you so old when you were born? Not only Wang Yun is also the assassin of Yuzhou, but Xun Shuang, the six dragons of the Xun family's eight dragons, and Kong Rong, the future Beihai Taishou, are still engaged in under him! ”
After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Zhi to answer, he said with a smile: "This Wang Yun is originally from the Taiyuan Wang family, so he is also from a famous family. He has a firm patriotic heart since he was a child, so he studied and practiced martial arts very hard, coupled with his extraordinary talent, he was already an all-round talent in both civil and military affairs in his youth. You don't want to watch him look weak on TV, that's because he appeared in the romance when he was in his fifties and was in a high position in Situ. ”
Speaking of this, thinking of Wang Yun's tragic ending, Wang Xu sighed slightly. "Hey...... In fact, Wang Yun is a very poor person, who is dedicated to the country, but he is not guaranteed in the evening, and he is also despised by future generations! Hardly anyone knows about his heroic appearance in his youth! ”
"Why? Is it because of the beauty plan? Hearing Wang Xu's exclamation, Zhou Zhi immediately asked suspiciously.
Slowly shaking his head, Wang Xu was bored for a long time before he continued regretfully: "No, killing Dong Zhuo is a great achievement, how can it be that his reputation is not guaranteed?" The reason why he became ordinary is because he was arrogant and arbitrary after that. For example, because of a trivial matter, Cai Yong and other celebrities were killed! Even the Western Liang Army's later siege of Chang'an was caused by his disobedience to his subordinates' admonition and improper handling. ”
Before Wang Yun's death, even the ministers who had murdered Dong Zhuo with him were full of complaints. Although his heart is for the country, he does not pay attention to his own ways and conduct, and in the end, he will not be able to protect the evening! Of course, it also has to do with the character! ”
"Huh? So what kind of character is he? ”
Zhou Zhi's question really made Wang Xu a little difficult to answer, and after thinking for a long time, he said softly: "From my personal point of view, I think it is best to describe it in eight words!" ”
"Which eight words?" This time, even Xu Shu was curious, and couldn't help but rush to ask.
After glancing at Xu Shu, who was full of curiosity, Wang Xu smiled slightly, and faintly spit out eight words: "Loyal and upright, arrogant!" ”
After speaking, without waiting for the two to ask questions again, he took the initiative to explain: "It is said that he is loyal and upright because he has just become an official, and when he was only nineteen years old, he dared to kill the little eunuch who had a powerful eunuch as the backstage." Although it was a punishment according to the crime, few people in the late Han Dynasty had such courage! Moreover, he also publicly exposed his boss's bribery crimes. If it weren't for the high-ranking officials and loyal ministers to protect him, he would have died countless times, and it is not wrong to describe such a person as loyal and upright! ”
Seeing that Xu Shu and Zhou Zhi both nodded again and again, Wang Xucai continued: "In the process of pacifying the Yellow Turban, he once found a letter from Zhang Rang's retainers, who was a regular servant, with information related to the Yellow Turban, and presented it to Emperor Han Ling without hesitation!" This is nothing in terms of his loyal and upright character, but the bad thing is that he is very proud. ”
After Zhang Rang escaped the catastrophe, he framed him several times. The ministers continued to play and advised him to forbear for the time being. But Wang Yun looked down on this kind of behavior, not only refused the kindness of others, but also humiliated others, do you think his behavior is crazy? In short, from beginning to end, because Wang Yun is talented, he has lived in the praise and protection of everyone since he was a child, and slowly developed this arrogant and conceited character? So much so that he was imprisoned several times, and finally changed his name and surname, and was displaced! It wasn't until Emperor Ling's death and He Jin was in power that he was able to re-enter the court, and finally gradually promoted to Situ during Dong Zhuo's chaotic government! ”
After listening to Wang Xu's words, Zhou Zhi, a guy with a hippie smile on weekdays, rarely showed emotion.
"Hey! This kind of person is really respectable and lamentable......"
