The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

497 Psychological Tactics
On both sides of the pontoon bridge on the bank of the Wei River, the armies and horses of the two sides faced each other across the shallows, facing each other in strict battle.

The last time Yan Xing had not waited to take down Chang'an, he was ruined by Hanzhong's soldiers. Yan Xing was furious when his soldiers and horses raided Xianyang and took down four of their own camps!
When Xianyang was first conquered, Hao Zhao had successfully raided his side once, and he was attacked again tonight!Fell twice in the same place?As the commander of the rebel army, Yan Xing felt that he couldn't afford to lose that man!
So, all the Chinese troops stationed in Xianyang City were dispatched to chase the enemy!
Unexpectedly, the enemy had a premeditated plan and asked Pound to ambush in the east of the city for a while, escorting the other sneak attacking troops to escape. Yan Xing had no choice but to retreat. The news of the beheading... the anger that had just subsided rose again!
Yan Xing and Song Jian's main force moved out at the front, unable to catch others, and vowed to kill Pang De under his horse!

But what they never expected was that they followed Pang De's trail by the side of the Wei River, and they actually saw Yuan Shang!

After hearing the two people's answers, knowing that the person opposite was Yuan Shang, Song Jian, Meng Jian, and Su Pige who were beside Yan Xing all took a breath.

Although they knew that their final opponent must be this person, but when they met suddenly, everyone's hearts were still greatly restrained, and they couldn't help but look carefully at the young man illuminated by the fire in the dark.

At that time, Yuan Shang and Cao Cao fought in Hebei, Central Plains, Guanzhong and other places in the dark, and everyone in the world looked at him. In the end, Yuan Shang overthrew Cao Cao in one fell swoop and ruled the world at the age of weak crown. Who is not interested in him?

Li Ru, whose pseudonym was Su Pige, was the most vicious and vicious. He knew that the person facing him was Yuan Shang, so he winked at the cavalry around him, and saw that the cavalry were ready to move from the shallows to the opposite side at any time!
Yan Xing stared unblinkingly at Yuan Shang on the other side, his face turned red and white, his heart was full of surprise and horror, joy and anger, which can be said to be full of five senses.Most of the Chinese army of our own side came out to pursue, the momentum was huge, there were so many soldiers and horses, Yuan Shang was too courageous, dare to wait here for him?If it wasn't that his nerves were abnormal, it was that he was too arrogant and didn't take himself seriously!
Or, maybe he had already arranged an ambush?

Thinking of this, Yan Xing hurriedly waved his hand at Song Jian, signaling not to act rashly!He knew Yuan Shang very well, and since he dared to meet him here, it meant that he had made sufficient preparations.
Song Jian understood the meaning in Yan Xing's eyes, pondered for a while, and then told Su Pige not to let his subordinates do anything.

Su Pige also saw strong winds and waves in Luoyang and Chang'an back then, and he experienced all the eighteen princes!In addition, he was deep in the city, so he quickly calmed down. After thinking about it, it was not a good time to make a move. Then he suppressed his mood and winked at the cavalry captain under him, signaling them not to make a move yet.

Among the crowd, Song Jian was the most hypocritical, but seeing the Shaanxi man put on a smile on his face, he boldly shouted to Yuan Shang: "Oh, who is the errand? It turns out that General Da Sima is here. Rare guest, rare guest, my lord." Come across the shore quickly, come and have a seat with us! The honored guests don’t come in, what’s the matter?"

Yuan Shang flicked his whip lightly, but his horse stayed where he was. He looked at Song Jian with a smile and said, "Your Excellency is Song Jian, right? You are the majestic king of Heshou Ping Han, with a respected status. I am just a member of the Han Dynasty." Palace minister, I really can't bear the sound of your lord!"

Song Jian couldn't help laughing when he heard the words.

Yuan Shang didn't take a second look at him, but glanced at some old Liangzhou officials around Yan Xing, such as Yang Fu, Jiang Xu, Su Ze, You Chu, Liang Kuan, Jiang Yin, Yin Feng, Wang Ling, and said with a smile ;"Everyone says that Yan Xing neglects righteousness for profit and betrays thieves. I don't think so. In fact, the really hateful ones are those of you who hide behind him and stir up the flames, but let him take the blame. I don't know that you people present, Who hasn't received my Yuan Shang's salary, who hasn't received my Yuan Shang's seal? Seriously, Yan Xing's misdeeds are nothing compared to everyone else's!"

As he said that, he casually pointed to those rebellious generals who responded to Yan Xing's rebellion, and said with a smile; "Among you, many of you are the old subordinates who were arranged by Cao Cao in the name of the court. To me, I don't miss the old grudges, just copy and keep it, you are better off, follow the wind to make the rudder, and vassal Yan Xing rebellious, take Cao Cao's today, drink mine tomorrow, eat Yan Xing's the day after tomorrow, milk is mother, what Loyalty, honesty and shame, the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, all of them are bullshit, I really should learn the way of being a man from everyone!"

Yuan Shang's words, ridiculed and sarcasm, made all the rebel generals in Liangzhou blush, but they were irrefutable.

Yuan Shang smiled and continued to speak softly; "I am a person who always has a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. You mean enough to me. I can give you what you want, but if you are ungrateful and ungrateful to me, then don't blame me. Turn your face and deny anyone!"

His tone became more and more gloomy as the pitch rose, and at the end, it was like a gust of cold wind blowing through the hearts of the traitors.

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. None of these guys who usually gathered behind his back to speak ill of Yuan Shang dared to refute him face to face.

Beside Yan Xing, Meng Jian secretly thought it was going to be bad when he saw this situation!
In front of the three armies, Yuan Shang lashed out at his generals, damaged their morals, and seized righteousness. For ordinary soldiers of his own side, this can definitely greatly reduce the morale and shake the foundation. On the surface, Yuan Shang is He is posing and preaching to the rebel generals, but he is actually calculating his own army's morale!

This guy is indeed as sinister and cunning as in the legend.

Meng Jian took two steps forward on his horse, cupped his hands at Yuan Shang, and said, "Mr. Yuan's words are wrong. The so-called good birds choose trees to live in, and virtuous ministers choose their masters to serve. Foreign countries! In the land of Guanzhong, virtuous people live there. In the land of the Liu family, why do you have to change your surname to Yuan? Your Excellency is not the Lord of England, and you don’t seek responsibility from yourself, so why bother to stick to blaming others? You are so petty.”

Yuan Shang turned his head to look at Meng Jian, vaguely seemed to have no impression of him, and then asked, "Who are you?"

Meng Jian smiled slightly and said, "Meng Jian in Xiarunan, his name is Gongwei."

Yuan Shang's heart jumped, and he seemed to understand something in a trance. He took a deep look at Meng Jian and said with a smile: "You just said that the land in Guanzhong is where the virtuous live. Well, I will tell you that the world is full of virtue. The first is me! I am the ancestor of virtue, the model of virtue! The land in Guanzhong is mine, and no one can take it away from me! I will do what I say."

Hearing the words 'a model of virtue', behind Yuan Shang, Ma Chao couldn't help retching...

Meng Jian raised his head and laughed loudly, and said: "I'm afraid it may not be so, now half of Liangzhou and Yongzhou are in our hands, you only have the land of Jingzhao in Chang'an, and besides, we have more than [-] soldiers and horses, it is you who are waiting for us." More than double, under such circumstances, where did your Excellency come from with such great determination?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said: "Really? Well, then I will reveal to you some more important news. Now you wait behind, Yuzhong has fallen, and Zhao Yun was rescued by the ambush general Ma Teng in our army. The Li family, the Po family, and the Ji family have already leaned towards us. You are all on the front line and the rear is empty. With Zhao Yun's status in Guanzhong and Ma Teng's reputation in the Qiang people, what if you start an incident in Liangzhou? withstand?"

These words came out like a bolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of everyone present, even Song Jian and Su Pige couldn't help opening their mouths in surprise.

Yan Xing himself was struck by lightning, staring at Yuan Shang in amazement, then suddenly smiled, shaking his head and said: "Joke, old man Ma Teng lives behind me, how can he survive for such a long time? Even if he is still alive, who can support him?" The generals under his command? Who will give him the supplies? Besides, the two of you are separated by nearly one state, even if he saved Zhao Yun, how would you know?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Are you my son?"

Yan Xing was taken aback when he heard the words, and then couldn't help being furious: "Fart!"

"Then are you my grandson?"

"You shit!"

Yuan Shang shrugged his shoulders casually, and said: "Since I am not your father, nor your grandfather, why should I explain so much to you? If you want to know the inside story, look it up yourself!"

After all, Yuan Shang turned his horse's head and led the soldiers under his command to retreat to the rear. While retreating, he looked at Yan Xing and said quietly: "Yan Ming, your life is a debt owed to Zhao Yun, and you have to accept it." Naturally, it should be taken back by Zhao Yun. That day, I'm afraid it won't be too far away...you can do it yourself."

Yan Xing stared blankly at Yuan Shang's leaving figure, opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to answer, Song Jian was beside him, and whispered: "Is it swollen? Just let him go like this?"

Yan Xing glanced at Song Jian with a bitter smile, and said, "Don't let him go, you go up and keep him? Who knows if he has ambushes on the other side."

Beside Yan Xing, Meng Jian let out a long sigh, feeling depressed.

Yuan Shang came to the Weishui River this time to arrange a meeting with Yan Xing. It seemed meaningless, like a demonstration. However, Meng Jian could clearly feel that after this meeting, the mentality of the rebel generals was already passive and uneasy, and Ordinary rebel soldiers, in a vague way, the eyes of Yan Xing and others have changed.

The most terrible thing is that Ma Teng rescued Zhao Yun and raised an incident in the rear of Liangzhou. Regardless of whether it is true or not, Yuan Shang said it in front of the three armies. It was he who planted a seed of uneasiness in his chest, and it took root and sprouted unknowingly and continued to grow.

Meng Jian looked up to the sky and sighed.

Yuan Shang is not as good as Yan Xing in martial arts, and not as good as himself in writing, but he has the same advantage that far surpasses himself and Yan Xing!

That is his cunning and unconstrained ingenuity!

…………

When Yuan Shang was on the edge of the Wei River, conducting psychological warfare against the troops of Yan Xing, Song Jian, and Qiang rebels, Zhao Yun and Ma Teng joined forces with Li, Po, and Ji's three major Qiang tribes, as well as Jiang Jiong as internal support, and conquered in one fell swoop. The high city and deep Tianshui laid a base for them to set off a storm in Liangzhou.
