Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 183 There Are So Many Capable People Under His Command!

In Liyang City.

"Yan Liang is my general! It's been ten years since I joined the army!! It hurts!"

Under Yuan Shao's weeping, the crowd was moved.

All the three armies are silent.

Cao Cao specially put Yan Liang's head in a gift box and sent it to Li Yang, so Wen Chou cried all night first, and almost rushed out to lead his troops for a night run, but was stopped by Zhang He and Gao Lan.

When this thing appeared, it was enough to shake the whole Liyang almost instantly. All the soldiers were shaken in an instant. Several people sat down on the ground and said nonsense. None of the cavalry came back. It is an insult to be sent back by the head of a lord who has so far been the most brave general of the three armies.

The cry was tuned up again. Yuan Shao's voice was originally loud and majestic. This scene is so moving. Within a stick of incense, all the soldiers and horses in Li Yang have been crying. With a sword and a spear in hand, he is waiting for the military order to be issued at any time, so as to compete with Cao Jun again.

They lost more than [-] people, so how could it be better for Cao's side? Xiahou Dun lost his white horse in the surprise attack on the first day, and then regained it, and Han Hao's Guandu Ferry also made many achievements. Now that it is flooded and flooded, there is nothing to do for the time being. Although the three ferry crossings are all lost, Cao Jun spent tens of thousands of lives in exchange for them.

Of course they also understood that Cao's army was not invincible, and that if they wanted to win, they would have to pay a high price. After Yuan Shao heard the battle report, he rushed over overnight, and received the military information halfway, so he hurried to arrive day and night.

It was for this cry that he knew that he had to come, and he had to cry for Yan Liang when the morale of the army completely collapsed, otherwise it would cause irreversible consequences.

However, even if the morale of the army is restored, it is impossible to do anything. It is impossible for the army to send troops in winter. It can be said that Baima, Guandu, and Yanjin have all been lost. It is too dangerous to march in the future.

Yuan Shao went back to Liyang's city gate, washed his face and ate something. Taking advantage of the arrival of all the generals, civil and military, he even squinted for a moment to recover his mood at the moment. All need to consume the mind, so it is quite tiring.

When he woke up, Wen Chou had already called to him, and he was also having a hard time, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his beard hadn't been taken care of for a long time, and the ferocity on his face was so obvious that Yuan Shao just turned over and stood up , immediately turned the corner of his mouth to show his displeasure.

"How did Yan Liang lose?"

"Yes, he was killed by Xu Zhen...set an ambush!"

Wen Chou didn't want to mention it anymore, but at this moment he had no choice but to mention Yan Liang's death, which made him gradually angry, but when he wanted to say some more heartfelt and generous words, Yuan Shao put a hand on his shoulder, The anger in my heart subsided a lot, "He died in a hurry for success."

"Yan Liang entered the game just now in a hurry. He fell into a trap. If Yanjin is gone, he can take it back in the future. Cao Jun is also struggling to defend Liyang. In the end, he insists on rectifying his name. He wants to touch Xu Bowen who captured Lu Bu. Unexpectedly, there are so many capable people and strange men under his command, and he died just now, this is a rash mistake, do you want to repeat the same mistakes?"

Wen Chou fell into silence. He knew that if he went out now, the weather would be inconvenient to march, Xu Zhen must be waiting for him to lead the army to die. Seeing this, Yuan Shao squeezed his shoulder hard, "Why not I want to take revenge immediately, defeat Cao Cao's army, capture Xudu to welcome the emperor, and sacrifice the heads of Cao and Xu to Yan Liang, but now, I must not march, let Cao Jun stand outside Guandu, in the cold Wouldn't it be better to hold on for a few months in the cold, and let the Lord of Heaven chill his spirit? Naturally, next year we can besiege Baima and Yanjin again, and regain these lost grounds."

"Lord!"

Wen Chou lowered his head in resentment. He knew that since Yuan Shao said so, he would definitely not send troops again. This kind of forbearance would greatly shake the hearts of the soldiers at this year's end. If you are not guided by the law, you will also be afraid in your heart.

"No need to say any more, everything will be decided next year. Of course we lost this time. It's not terrible to lose, but a complete defeat is terrible. The loss of soldiers and horses this time didn't affect the flesh and blood, it was just the skin. But seeing the strange soldiers under Xu Zhen's command, the news that Yan Liang found out for our army must be used in order to be regarded as a disappointment, let's go back first."

Yuan Shao patted him on the shoulder a few times, making Wen Chou no longer have any thoughts of refuting. Xu Zhen's soldiers and horses are only a hundred and twenty miles away. If he attacked, he could lead the cavalry to attack overnight. If it wasn't for the lord here , he really wanted to go.

But now that I think about it carefully, if I really go, the result is unknown, maybe Xu Zhen will wait for him to go.

"Okay, okay! I'll go again next spring, and I'll definitely behead him then."

"He has many generals under his command, but his soldiers are only [-]. The soldiers who have truly crossed the official border and crossed the river, tens of thousands of them are foreign generals under his command, but there is one person who has to be considered. The general is very brave. I have met many times when I was in battle. Every time I met him, I would be beheaded by him. He is tall and strong, he should be a strong, handsome general, there are rumors in the army, whether it is Lu Bu who is not dead, but the person who entered Xu Zhen's command and sent to Xu Du to beheaded was not Lu Bu!"

"Bullshit."

When Yuan Shao heard this, he immediately refuted it, "How can there be such rumors? If there is such a general, it is nothing more than pretending to be a ghost. We have already seen Lu Bu's death, and it will never be him. People who are afraid of death, use this to play tricks, and wear armor all over their bodies."

"That shouldn't be the case!" Wen Chou retorted seriously, "If you have the ability to carry such a heavy armor, how can you be an ordinary person? A war horse that can carry such an armor and can run like the wind, and what Is he a slut? This person is not simple, there are many generals under Xu Zhen's command, and they all have a lot of fame in the army, but they don't know who they are."

"For example, there is a general with a sword and shield, who walks forward with light armor and uses the shield to block the sword. Like a tiger and wolf, he can walk hundreds of feet into the army alone, without any fear of being surrounded by soldiers, and his face does not change when he shoots an arrow; there is also a silver armor. Dressed in robes, attired like a white horse back then, fighting like a ghost, riding a horse back and forth like the wind in the army, dazzled with marksmanship, and extremely handsome; there is nothing wrong with holding a pair of halberds."

"There is another man with a thousand or eight hundred cavalry who became famous in Xiaoyaojin, Yangzhou, but he crossed the river himself and fought the first battle. Iron as mud."

"Impossible?!" Yuan Shao was still stuck in the evaluation of Shuangji General at this time. The simple three words made him a little dizzy. What kind of beating made him say such a thing? This is still Yan Liang. It was reported by the soldiers and horses, if it really arrived in Wei County, would it still be possible?
Such exaggerated boasting is probably enough to affect the recruiting in the spring of next year.

Fighting against these people, what else is there to fight, not to mention that besides them, there are also generals of the Cao family who have become famous everywhere in recent years, and have made countless military exploits. There are so many, all of which have substantial merits, the really tricky thing should be here.

If I come here to cry, I can let Yan Liang's tribe enter the Wen Chou camp, so that they will not be disarmed and returned to the field because of fear, but how to eliminate this fear?Everyone is afraid of Cao Mengde, and now there is Xu Bowen.

Yuan Shao felt a little lost in his heart, so he sighed immediately, "I knew earlier, I should have listened to Tian Feng's words, do not attack or capture, defend Guandu to the death, use farming to grow myself, let the people join the army, and wait for the farmland to be fertilized. The people live in peace and fight again..."

Of course, he was just regretting this, and he knew in his heart that if he did this, Cao Cao would definitely not give him this opportunity. Now Xu Zhen's troubles have almost put him on the fire, and he must send troops next year, otherwise the territory will be destroyed. will be more uneven.

As for the chances of winning, it depends on how much morale and morale in the army can be restored. This Xu Bowen is young but ruthless. It is really not easy. ..."

Yuan Shao returned to Yecheng that night, and it took him a day to arrive at nightfall. Before he had time to eat a few bites, he went directly to meet Liu Bei. Liu Bei's people were all in the military camp dozens of miles away. When they heard the news that Yuan Shao was coming to "see him", they put everything down and hurried back to wait.

After meeting in the room, Yuan Shao asked a question very sincerely, "Xu Zhen, what kind of person is he? Where is he from, and what is his character like?"

Liu Bei was of course dumbfounded when he heard these words, thinking that you came here to ask me this! ?Then he fell into a deeper sluggishness, because Liu Bei then carefully recalled what he knew about Xu Zhen, and found that he couldn't say anything other than handsome.

Both Wenzhi and martial arts are good?It would be too general to say so, and Yuan Shao might not be able to listen to it, but if he said it in detail, he would always have a half-knowledge about many things. Thinking of the end, Liu Bei was very surprised to find that he was actually a little bit more interested in Xu Junhou, who had been thinking about him for a long time. I didn't understand, so I just shook my head helplessly.

"You once said, don't underestimate this person, don't you know his weakness?"

"Lust? No, it shouldn't be like this," Liu Bei shook his head, "He just wants to give a home to beautiful women who are displaced in troubled times, and if he is a cautious person, let the whole world know that he is lustful, which shows that he is not lustful at all. .”

Yuan Shao nodded in agreement, but there was some truth to it, so Liu Bei told Yuan Shao about the acquaintance at the beginning, and the fact that Xu Zhen often knew many unknown sources of information. Of course, Liu Bei did not say some key things, such as some things Xu Zhen had mentioned.

"Oh," Yuan Shao laughed directly when he heard the back, and there was a lot of helplessness in the laughter, "Among the public officials, Yang Biao is the head, more than a few people have written letters to me. Beauty enjoys pleasure all day long, and because of Jin Wu, he was in charge of sleep and never saw morning and evening, proud of Cao's favor, and contemptuous of clan members and generals, it is not worth mentioning."

"Misunderstanding me too much..." Yuan Shao sighed deeply, with a regretful expression on his face. If he had been on guard earlier, when Xu Zhen arrived in Xudu, he would immediately garrison troops and horses and fight along the way at Guandu. How could he be in such a situation.

"Dare to ask, what made Ming Gong so eager to ask him in detail?"

"Yan Liang was beheaded by him and died in Yanjin."

After Yuan Shao was silent for a moment, he still told Liu Bei the news. After all, he couldn't be satisfied. Within a few days, all officials in the whole territory should know. Liu Bei was also slightly stunned. He didn't know how to persuade him. Heard it, but never believed it.

Unexpectedly, Yan Liang was really beheaded. Liu Bei had seen the appearance of Yan Liang's army with his own eyes. The arrogant soldiers dare not say that there is indeed a tough style. Iron-blooded soldiers are definitely not easy to destroy. An army that can be defeated at will can only be defeated It can be said that Xu Zhen is more elite.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for several years, Xu Zhen's soldiers, horsemen and military officers have become more sophisticated.

Liu Bei and Yuan Shao chatted for a long time, he cherished this opportunity, since he arrived in Jizhou, he has been with Xu You, and when he met Yuan Shao, he was the one who introduced him, so many words are hard to explain, Yuan Shao came here suddenly today, already It is a rare opportunity.

It's not like Yuan Shao got nothing, at least he knew one of Xu Zhen's generals, named Zhao Yun.He was indeed an old general of the White Horse back then. Gongsun Zan had shown great kindness to him, but he was actually from Jizhou.

At night, after Yuan Shao left, Liu Bei felt melancholy in the courtyard, and waited until the second and third brothers came back together, led them to the inner courtyard, closed the gate, and told them what happened today. Both fell into silence for a while.

After a long time, Zhang Fei looked up at the two brothers, and asked tentatively: "Brothers...can you tell me what chance Jizhou has to win? From what I see now, it seems that we are going to lose..."

"Hmph," Guan Yu's face turned cold, he stroked his long beard, narrowed his eyes slightly and looked haughty, and quickly said in a low voice: "I will wait behind and prepare my troops, and let Yuan Shao's generals lead the army in front. I will do all the hard work, thanks to you." They are free to fight, and now they are under the patronage of a guest, not to mention, Yan Liang is still so arrogant, and it will be a matter of time before he loses, but he never thought that he would be defeated by Xu Zhen and make him famous."

"Second Brother, what do you think of Xu Bowen?"

Guan Yu's face was solemn, and he thought about it. For a while, he didn't know how to evaluate. The three heroes in Hulao and Lv Bu were evenly divided, and he could be captured by himself. Be respectful.

"You have to fight to know. Apart from Xu Zhen, there are many famous generals in Cao Ying. Now it seems that the real thing to consider is Jizhou... Will the previous proclamation go too far?"

"Tsk, I intend to invite Yuan Shao to fight. If this situation continues to procrastinate, it will not help the situation. Guandu and Sandu must be taken. Let Gongyou invite Ziyuan to come. He must have been waiting for me for a long time."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and nodded their heads heavily. Guan Yu continued: "A big event is nothing more than fighting hard. You can't get it if you keep it. If you change it, you can gain it. If you don't change it, you will lose it slowly. No matter what you do, brother , Yun Chang will definitely follow."

"Me too."

Zhang Fei's eyes widened, his beard trembled, and he clasped his fists in salute.
