Chapter Thirty-Eight: Yuan Shao's Spring
Cao Cao led troops to frequently attack the small Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun, and slowly infiltrated the power into all corners of Dongjun, and at the same time took this opportunity to train elite soldiers, secretly let Xiahoudun go to Qingzhou, Cao Ren went to Xuzhou to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army, because the Yellow Turban Army in these two places did not have a unified leadership, but under Cao Cao's attack, surrendered early, so that Cao Cao got 200,000 soldiers in vain, and finally let Xiahoudun select 100,000 strong people to form the Qingzhou Army, stationed Chen Liulai as his foundation!
Cao Cao secretly pacified the Yellow Turban Army in Qingxu and Dongjun, and provided Yuan Shao with a stable rear, Yuan Shao no longer had to worry about a fire in the backyard, he only needed to target Jizhou well. "Do you have any good advice? Now the Zhang Jiao brothers are all cowering in the city, and Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and others are fighting wits and courage with Zhang Bao, tell me, what are we going to do next? "Although the Yuan family is famous, Yuan Shao is young after all, and at this time, whether it is his political means or the emperor's mental skills, they are not yet mature, so he has to ask these people under him, because he knows that these people are secretly cultivated by the family, either for themselves or for their brother Yuan Shu, so he must behave better, so that he will have more advantages to keep them, after all, his younger brother has not yet come out!
"Don't worry, the situation in Jizhou is quite complicated now, the forces of all parties are staggered, there is Lu Zhi and Zhang Bao in the north, this Changshan Chengfeng and Zhang Jiao contain each other, it is a good opportunity for us to show our talents, as long as we encroach step by step, steady and steady, and finally occupy the entire Jizhou!" Xu You said with a smile
"Not bad, not bad!" Yuan Shao nodded slowly, this is indeed a good way, with his own family to build momentum, he will fight so many battles, and when the time comes, he will accumulate enough military merit and prestige, and he will have heavy troops in his hands, so he doesn't have to worry about the status of the family anymore, but the only difficulty is that now in addition to the five thousand soldiers and horses in the imperial court, the remaining more than 20,000 are basically family warriors, and even this room full of strategists and generals, I don't know how many of them are really attached to themselves, it seems that I have to recruit my own people quickly, Otherwise, the bamboo basket will really be empty. "Mr. Xu is indeed reasonable, this method is more than safe, and it is the most suitable at this time and place!" Yuan Shao saw that several people were looking at him, and hurriedly smiled.
"Hehe, eldest prince, I think the most important thing at the moment is to fight with the Yellow Turban Army, and we can only win and not lose, only in this way can we really gain a firm foothold in Jizhou! It's all about creating momentum now, if we don't show some real skills, I think we will become the next Dong Zhuo! Tian Feng said
"Both gentlemen have a point!" Yuan Shao was a little embarrassed, the uncle's teachers were all sent by the family, and they all had different ideas, who should I listen to, after all, what the two of them said made sense, but looking at the appearance of these two people, it is obvious that they don't deal with each other, it is estimated that no one will look at who is not pleasing to the eye, is it difficult for me to do multiple choice questions every day in the future! Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was also big for a while.
"The eldest prince doesn't have to worry too much, now we can come step by step, General Gao Ran and I will first look for an opportunity to fight with Zhang Jiao, see if we can take down a few cities, and then the eldest prince will divide his troops to occupy and accumulate prestige, and then recruit troops and horses to expand his strength!" Ju Yi said, which can be regarded as an idea for Yuan Shao. If Cheng Feng sees this Yuan Shao, he will definitely find that this baby has a difficult choice!
"Okay, then let's do it, by the way, let's send out the recruitment list first and see if anyone comes to take refuge!" Yuan Shao said, because since the completion of such a set, everyone has learned to use it, not to mention, this effect is good, on the one hand, it seems that they are thirsty for talents, on the other hand, it is to let talents come to themselves, and they can selectively collect them, which is much better than looking for them all over the mountains! At the moment, Gao Ran Juyi led the troops out of the city quietly, and the army was distributed near the giant deer, planning to take the opportunity to fight a few ambushes, which can be regarded as increasing popularity. As for the decisive battle with Zhang Jiao, the two of them still have no confidence, after all, the combat strength of the Jizhou Yellow Turban Army recently is obvious to all, it is not easy for the Yuan family to save this bit of belongings, and besides, they have not yet stood in line between the two sons, so they will not easily get into danger!
To say that the most uncomfortable is still Chengfeng, what remains after the carnival is boundless loneliness, Chengfeng has always had a sense of uneasiness in his heart, and always feels that Zhang Jiao's role is too little, in this entire Yellow Turban Uprising, the most appearing are Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, and as the real leader, Zhang Jiao has no trace, neither has he been on the battlefield, nor has he participated in any layout, he is stealth throughout the whole process, it is not scientific to think about it, is Zhang Jiao secretly preparing some big killer! Cheng Feng shook his head for a while, his head was big, and the most difficult thing to deal with were these invisible enemies!
"Big brother, what are you thinking?" Zhao Yun and Guo Jia came over and asked, recently Zhao Yun was instructed by Cheng Feng, knowing that this Guo Jia is the best strategist in the world, and he can learn a lot from him, Zhao Yun has never seen Cheng Feng so serious, I remember that Cheng Feng said at that time, Zilong, you have to learn hard with Mr. Guo, Guo Jia is a strategist, a genius in the world! is particularly good at using tricks, often turning defeat into victory or a means of winning with one blow! Therefore, recently Zhao Yun had time to chat with Guo Jia, Chengfeng combined with later generations to get the sand table out, which can make Changshan this group of generals play fascinated, since you can't go to the battlefield, then use the sand table to simulate the battle, Chengfeng is not only the simulation sand table of Jizhou, but also combined with the geographical knowledge of later generations, rough terrain all over the country, although not so accurate, but all aspects are almost the same, basically the famous rivers and rivers are there, the geographical location is also about the same, As for the accuracy in the future, it will have to wait for the field survey. Zhao Yun is okay to play the battle situation with Guo Jia every day, and his military ability has improved by leaps and bounds recently, presumably if he goes to the battlefield again, he will no longer be so clueless!
"Alas, I'm wondering what this horn is doing, and why His Majesty won't let me send troops!" Chengfeng is very helpless, we don't know, we don't dare to ask!
"Hehe, don't worry too much, I think there are only a few reasons for this, first of all, for Zhang Jiao's problem, the first may be what he is preparing, once he shoots, it must be vigorous and resolute, there is a big move, I think His Majesty does not let you send troops is also concerned about this, the second possibility is that Zhang Jiao has not appeared, there may be physical problems, and he can't go to the battlefield in person! This is the third, that is, it is possible that the three brothers Zhang Jiao are not as harmonious as they seem, at least now Zhang Bao is outside, Zhang Jiao is inside, the two have almost no contact, and I think the Yellow Turban Army is not monolithic. Guo Jia said with a smile
"Well, it's still good to be filial, listen to your words, it's better than reading for ten years!" Cheng Feng slapped the sycophants in real time! Although I have thought about it a lot, I really haven't thought about the three Zhang Jiao brothers.
"Hehe, the lord Miao praised, I think the lord had already guessed these problems of Zhang Jiao, but he couldn't get it for sure! The main thing now is to find out what your majesty is thinking! Guo Jia said with a smile
"Yes, I don't know now whether His Majesty is useful to keep me, or if he is guarding against me!"
"Hehe, last time Your Majesty had a will, let the lord preserve your strength, and finally send troops to exterminate Zhang Jiao, I don't think Your Majesty will suspect you, mainly to keep you to deal with Zhang Jiao!" Guo Jia said with a smile, this time it is really a fan of the authorities and bystanders!
"In that case, then let's recruit and store food step by step, and continue to wait!" Cheng Feng was completely relieved, and said to the two, but he was stunned again, these two people are simulating battles together every day, how can they have time to come here today, thinking of this, he asked, "Why do you two have time to come to me?"
"Haha" Guo Jia suddenly burst out laughing, "It's not that Brother Zilong thinks that he is not happy enough to deduce the battle situation, so he wants to discuss with you whether he can sneak out of the city for a while!" Saying that, he also gave Zhao Yun a look, what kind of person is Chengfeng, he is better than a ghost, and Zhao Yun is a well-known honest child, the biggest feature is that he can do it and never make noise, and at first glance, this idea is Guo Jia's ghost!
"Okay, it's best to go out, but it's a pity, anyone in this Changshan can go out, but Zilong can't go out!" Cheng Feng's face changed, and he said very solemnly,
"Ahh Big brother, why? "Zhao Yun is really anxious this time, although he doesn't grab or fight, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want it, this time Guo Jia finally thought of a way, to go out for a walk, although there may not be a fight, but at least he can go out to breathe, don't you look at what your eldest brother means, do you want to squat at home again?
"Why? Think about how famous you Zhao Yun is, no one is allowed to take a detour in Jizhou, isn't it just going out to walk around when you take the troops out? How dare anyone fight you, you should honestly prepare to marry at home! Cheng Feng rolled his eyes and said, but it's still good to go out and scare and scare the three Zhang Jiao brothers!
"So, what's going to be done?" Zhao Yun kept glancing at Guo Jia, asking him to hurry up and find a way, didn't you say that there is a way to make Cheng Feng agree, it's good now, if you provoke this big brother again, if you really want to let yourself get married, then you will get rid of it! Guo Jia was about to cry when he saw Zhao Yun like this, and looked at Cheng Feng's expression again, so he had to hold back a smile and smile, "This beauty is also very good with a hero, and Changshan should also have a big happy event!" ”
"No, you are" Zhao Yun was a little incoherent, how could he get involved in his marriage again, isn't this a pit person, this Guo Fengxiao is not a reliable master, a group of bad old men, there is no good thing, very bad!
Looking at Zhao Yun's appearance, the two of them couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed, "Okay Zilong, I won't tease you, this time you will accompany Fengxiao out for a walk and protect Mr. Guo" Cheng Feng said with a smile
"Really!" Zhao Yun is happy, it seems that his eldest brother and this Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao don't know who to figure out, but if he can go out for a walk, it can be regarded as breathable, otherwise he will always practice here, and he will be sick.
"Go ahead, you two can choose whatever you want, take the soldiers out for a walk, as long as you don't stay away from Changshan, after all, there will be a big war soon!" Cheng Feng said helplessly, in fact, why don't you want to go out, it's just that it's not easy to move, so let Guo Jia go, with Guo Jia's IQ, he should be able to know what he asked him to go out for, plus Zhao Yun is on the side, the security problem is solved!
Yuan Shao of Yecheng has been living a good life recently, Ju Yi Gaolan has taken people around, cleaning up some small Yellow Turban Army from time to time, and slowly accumulating fame, plus many people have come to take refuge in themselves recently, I really want to grin the back of my head. Recently, he has gathered the frustration award, Chun Yuqiong and the two, and through the frustration of the successful and the judge, the Xin family got in touch, as long as they make some achievements, in that case, the two major families in Hebei will support themselves, and at that time this Jizhou will be in their own hands, and now Cao Cao is playing happily in Henan, and he can't be idle, or he has to hurry up and take down a few more families, after all, they all control all the local resources, as long as they take them, they can save a lot of trouble, as for these people in their own family, When you make your own achievements, are you afraid that they won't stay? Just when Yuan Shao was happy, someone suddenly came to report, "The eldest prince is not good, General Gao Ran is injured!" ”
"What?" Yuan Shao jumped to the top of his army, this Gao Ran is currently the most powerful general in his army, how could he be injured? I couldn't help but hurriedly say, "What's the matter, hurry up and explain it to me!" ”
"General Gao eliminated a group of Yellow Turban grain carriers, and was escorting grain and grass back to the city, but he didn't want to meet two big men halfway, they thought we were the Yellow Turban Army, and they ended up fighting, this General Gao fought with people only three rounds, and was knocked off the horse, if it wasn't for General Ju Yi's timely shouting, I'm afraid General Gao would have died in Huangquan!" Pro-soldier road
"What? Two big men? Where are they? Yuan Shao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, uncle, don't be a sealed person, otherwise this matter will be embarrassing, if it is not a sealed person, then I have to stay with these two big men.
"Outside, I've been guarding General Gao, and it seems that the two of them are still very guilty!"
"Then what are you waiting for, please come in quickly, no, I will go and greet you in person!" Yuan Shao said, and then hurriedly ran out, and half of his shoes ran off on the way. When he went out, he was immediately relieved, because Yuan Shao saw that Gao Ran had just fallen off his war horse and had not received any damage. Looking at the two people next to him, they are really burly men, one looks like a spirit official, with a majestic appearance, carrying a blood-weeping knife in his hand, and the other person has a face like a pig, eight feet long, and is holding a cloud-piercing gun in his hand. Then he turned his head and looked at the two of them carefully, and he was sure that this was not a battle-worthy general, and then said with a smile, "Yuan Shao in Xiahebei, thank you for your mercy, I don't know the names of the two strong men?" ”
"In Xia Yan Liang Yan Shiping" The man with the knife hurriedly saluted, Recently, the fame of this Yuan Shao Yuan is too great, and I heard that he is a child of the Yuan family, and the future must be limitless.
The man with the gun also hurriedly saluted, after all, his brothers accidentally injured other people's generals, and he still felt a little unreasonable.
"Haha, the two strong men don't need to be polite, come on, prepare wine, I want to get together with the two strong men, by the way, please all the gentlemen and generals come, such a heroic figure, it should be treated with courtesy!" Yuan Shaodao, it's hard to say that the children of the family have other skills, this face kung fu is a compulsory course!
After a while, Yuan Shao's subordinates arrived one after another, and they still have some understanding of their own eldest son, and it seems that it is difficult to make a decision when encountering any problems, after all, there is a difficulty in choosing. But when half of the wine was drunk, Yuan Shao introduced these people to each other, and then there were all kinds of persuasions, at this time Chun Yuqiong exerted his own value, he himself was an alcoholic, and he was addicted to alcohol. This time I met Yuan Shao's good wine, it was really a good talent, plus he had a cheerful personality and adjusted the atmosphere of a group of people, which also made Yan Liangwen and Chou not feel nervous.
"Two strong men, originally volunteered to calm the chaos and return the world to peace!" Yuan Shao saw that he was almost drunk, and hurriedly threw out his ambition to fool the two, as for whether this ambition is his own, then go to him, anyway, he said so, he can still leave people, you say it's not annoying!
"The general is heroic, I admire it!" Yan Liangwen is still a little uncomfortable, usually his brothers drink like the king of the mountain, and suddenly so many people are together, and they are still a little uncomfortable, especially with a group of strangers, don't they all say, don't talk to strangers.
"But this calms down the chaos. It will take you and me to work together, so I would like to ask two strong men to come out of the mountain to help me put down the trouble! Yuan Shao suddenly saluted the two
Yan Liangwen and Chou are all brave and martial people, and they don't know many words, but they have more respect for this literati and inkman, in their eyes, they have always thought that these children of the big clan, the literati are all high, they never thought that they would treat themselves so equally, looking at Yuan Shao's place, the two of them twitched their brains, their hearts were hot, they looked at each other, and hurriedly saluted, "We are willing to serve the general as the lord, calm the chaos for the general, and return the world to peace!" "Although I said that I came to defect to Chengfeng this time, but in their eyes, there is no difference, they are all working for the royal family, they are all soldiers and horses of the imperial court, maybe they will be transferred to Chengfeng's men one day, but they don't know that this entry into the Hou Gate is as deep as the sea, goodbye is already a stranger!
Yuan Shao was overjoyed, and quickly helped the two of them up, and it was a bounty and silver, and it was a gift of armor, and the ugly bow and horse were skillful, Yuan Shao directly gave him a pair of treasure bows, and Yan Liang looked majestic, so he gave him a pair of embroidered robes and gold armor. As for the ordinary armor as a general, it is all used by the army, and these are not good for the two of them, Yuan Shao really can't leave the two of them, that's called an intimacy, and it is said that they slept together that night. It didn't take long for the two of them to be put to sleep, Yan Liangwen was loyal to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao since he subdued the two, he smiled like a flower every day, with these two new forces, he was more handy to deal with the scattered Yellow Turban Army, and the good cycle will only get better and better, Yuan Shao took this opportunity to secretly cultivate his own power, although he did not seize the territory, but he established the army, and also subdued the talents cultivated by these families! When these things reached Cheng Feng's ears, this thing pondered for a long time, and held back a sentence "Yuan Benchu's spring has arrived!" ”
