Chapter 109

The old man beckoned and said, "Okay, everyone heard what the third son said clearly. There will be no defeat in this battle. I swear to destroy Cao's bandits. When they invade Xuchang, each person will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver." 20 taels per person , the 15 people are 300 million taels, which is not a small amount. Given the current economic situation in Jizhou, it is impossible to afford it, but the old man is not afraid. He thinks this way. You can take it from Cao Cao's house. If you can't get in, then everyone can't say that I broke my promise and got fat. Anyway, the 300 million taels will not be taken out of my pocket.

"Shang'er, you can dispatch troops and generals now." The old man said in a deep voice.Yuan Shang's face was full of pride, and he cheered up and said, "General Wen Chou obeys orders." Wen Chou said loudly; "The last general is here."

"Ben Shuai, I ordered you to be the governor of the food and grass, and there must be no mistakes."

Wen Chou was stunned, I am the governor of food and grass, I am not mistaken, so who will go to war?When Yuan Shang saw him, he said coldly, "General Wen, didn't you hear what I said clearly?" Wen Chou thought to himself, but he was too timid to believe it.On the school grounds, there were tens of thousands of people, Wen Chou did not dare to disobey the general, and said in a deep voice; "The last general—your order."

Yuan Shang snorted coldly; "Yuan Xi listens to the order." Hearing that he was called Yuan Xi, he felt uncomfortable.

"The end is here." I stepped forward reluctantly.Yuan Shang glanced at me, pretended to smile, and said, "I will trouble my brother, lead Youzhou soldiers to guard Liyang, stabilize the rear, and ensure the smooth flow of supplies and grain roads. This matter is of great responsibility, and it is related to the survival of our army. I feel uneasy if I leave it to others. I also hope that brother will not shirk."

Alright, as soon as we come up, leave Wen Chou and me alone.I knew that he was afraid that I would steal merit, so he deliberately refused to let me play, and I thought, if this doesn't work, Yuan Shang will definitely be defeated by Cheng Yu's plan of ambush on ten sides.I can only stare blankly.I said, "Third brother, please be the vanguard and lead the Youzhou iron cavalry to attack the Cao bandits head-on." Yuan Shang said displeased: "I told you to station troops in Liyang and stabilize the rear. Didn't the second brother hear that?" I said, "The city of Liyang is strong, and you only need to send a general to guard it. If you are worried, you can send General Zhang Xiu to stay behind. Let Wei be the vanguard and fight against Cao Jun." Yuan Shang rolled his eyes and thought, The second child made trouble with me because he wanted to show off in front of his father, but I didn't give him the chance to perform.

Yuan Shang said coldly; "Second brother's request, I couldn't refuse, but in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, if I go back on my word and change it day and night, on the battlefield in the future, I will definitely not be able to convince the crowd and make everyone lose confidence. This time my brother complied with me." , how about letting your brother fight to the death?" In the future?Where will there be a future.I shook my head and said, "Third brother, I—" Father's face was a little ugly.Yuan Shang became impatient, and said sharply, "This is calling troops on the battlefield, not reminiscing about the old days at home. Second brother, do you listen to what my brother is saying as a marshal? If you have any objections to my being a marshal, I can let you go." Come out and do it for you." That's right, I just have objections.The old man waved his hand and said: "Xi'er, you go down." I saw that the faces of both of them were livid, and I thought I couldn't affect the morale of the army, otherwise the defeat would be faster.

I had no choice but to back down, Yuan Shang cheered up and shouted, "Where is the map of Shenzhengnan and Fengyuan?" Two die-hard fans immediately appeared on the stage, and shouted; "The end will be——"

"Just order Shen Zhengnan to be the general of the army, and Feng Yuantu to be the commander of the army." The two were happy when they heard it. .Feng Yuantu immediately fell off his horse, knelt down and shouted, "My subordinate Feng Ji will do his best to assist the lord and son, defeat Cao Cao, and unify the world." Does Mr. Feng have any ideals to unify the world? !Yuan Shang was stunned for a while, thinking that our army had won the battle of Guandu.

Yuan Shang's blood boiled for a while, and he felt that with Feng Ji as a loyal minister and resourceful man, it was only a matter of time before Cao Cao was defeated. The last time our army was defeated was because of a traitor, and Cao Cao was lucky to win. , and even cleaned up Liu Biao by the way.Behind them came a large number of generals, Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang were appointed as the captains of the left and right guards, Sui Yuan, who cut Zhang Liao and vomited blood from Xu Chulei, was awarded the title of general against rebellion, and Lu Weihuang was appointed as the general of Zhonglang, the commander of Yuan Shang. Guards.Such a brave general, why not send the cavalry ahead to kill the tiger and leopard cavalry?Guo Yuan was the vanguard, and Su You, Li Fu, Feng Li and other cronies all served as school lieutenants.

The old man was very satisfied with Yuan Shang's arrangement, but felt like a general, so he nodded with a smile.Yuan Shang looked back at Liu Bei and bowed his hands politely; "I invite the emperor and Lord Xun Chen to stay in Jizhou and supervise the food and grass to be transported to the front in time." Liu Bei and Yuan Shang had a tacit understanding and immediately promised; "Lord and son, relax, as long as there is Liu Bei and the two virtuous younger brothers are here, and there will be no chance for anyone to take advantage of it." This arrangement seemed to be unexpected to the old man, he frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it.

Yuan Shang sternly said: "All generals, go back and get ready. Two days later, the army will go out." Everyone agreed with a loud voice.

When Yuan Tan received the news that Yuan Shang was in command of the three armies, [-] Qingzhou soldiers had already arrived outside the city of Jizhou.Jizhou soldiers and Youzhou soldiers set up camps separated by hundreds of feet.Just after noon, the high-ranking Bingzhou Army also arrived, and the three foreign soldiers were not allowed to enter the city, and went down to the village in a triangular symmetrical manner.

Yuan Tan immediately jumped up when he saw Gao Gan; "Cousin, what are you talking about? As the eldest son, I have been fighting abroad for many years and have rich experience in actual combat. I have done nothing wrong, but now I have to listen to the command of the third child. You say you are angry or not."

Gao Gan is also in a bad mood these days, because his uncle asked him to lead troops out of Shangdang to attack Hanoi and threaten Xuchang during the Guandu War a few days ago, but he was blocked by Hanoi prefect Wei Zhong on the way.He tried his best, but he couldn't break through the line of defense.Wei Zhong had betrayed Cao Cao before and surrendered to Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu. The senior officials thought that this man had a bad record and was not strong-willed, so he could be lured to surrender, so he promised Wei Zhong a high-ranking official a generous salary to let him leave the city and surrender.

Wei Zhong readily agreed, and the general gave him a short pat on the horse. Gao Gan thought that he must have made a great contribution this time, so when Wei Zhong led few people out of the city to surrender, he did not take precautions.As a result, five hundred cavalrymen of Wei Zhong raided his camp, and fled back to Bingzhou with lost troops. He was so angry that he would curse three times before going to bed every night: "Wei Zhong, I will fuck your mother." He also wrote a letter to reprimand him, which made him unable to sleep for several days, and he wanted to clear up his shame.

As soon as Yuan Tan complained, he got excited, stood up, and shouted: "Isn't it? We have experienced many battles, and we have never seen any battles. Yuan Shang, who is still a child, wants to command hundreds of thousands of troops. I really don't know." What does uncle think?" "Cousin, the two of us will go to the city to find the second child, and then we will go to see our father together, and we must make sure that he rescinds his promise." Yuan Tan came here wishful thinking to recruit senior officials.

It's okay for the high-ranking official to talk about being happy and happy, but if he really asks for his life, he won't go.I thought to myself, you are all good talkers of father and son brothers, how can I, an outsider, participate in this kind of thing.Immediately he pondered and said: "Cousin, cousin, calm down, calm down, in my opinion-this, it's better to discuss this matter in the long term." Yuan Tan stared at him, weren't you very angry just now, why did you hear that If you want to ask for orders, you will shrink back.

The senior cadre explained it like this; "Actually, it is not impossible to take this opportunity to let the third child exercise, ah, do you think so? With the help of us brothers on the side, maybe there will be no major problems." Yuan Tan He sneered, and said in his heart, it's a fart.Knowing that it was impossible for Gao Gan to go to the city with him to ask for orders, he came out, pulled a horse, and ran into Jizhou City.

Yuan Tan stormed into his father's dormitory aggressively, just in time to bump into his father and Aunt Tian making love inside.Two servant girls came over to stop him and said, "My lord, please stay. The general is not feeling well, and he has told you not to see anyone?" Yuan Tan was furious, and said sharply, "Don't you even see me?" The maid nodded timidly; "Yes—yes Yes, no one will be seen." Yuan Tan stamped his feet outside anxiously, but dared not go in.Suddenly he heard his father call him; "Is that Tan'er? Come in." Yuan Tanru was pardoned, glared at the two maids, and rushed in through the door.Aunt Tian, ​​with disheveled hair on her temples, looked at him coldly, turned and left.

The old man sat up from the bed, and asked unhappily, "What's so flustered." Yuan Tan thought of a lot of excuses along the way, but when he saw his father, most of them were too frightened to remember, and stammered; "I heard that my father ordered the third brother Yuan Shang to command the three armies to go to war." The old man said disapprovingly; "You came to me just for this matter, is there anything wrong?"

Yuan Tan is not a fool, he could hear the meaning of his father's words, he squeezed out a smile on his ashen face and said, "There is nothing wrong, my son just came here to ask, if possible, I hope I can act as a pioneer, please allow father."

The old man nodded slightly, expressionless; "You can discuss this matter with Shang'er. If he agrees, I have no objection." Yuan Tan's whole body was shocked. What did you say?As the eldest brother, do I have to ask him for instructions?It is tolerable or unbearable.On the surface, he said respectfully; "Well, that kid will leave and go to discuss with the third brother." The father said calmly: "Go, go."

When Yuan Tan came out of the dormitory, he felt a layer of white sweat on his back, and his heart trembled. The upper and lower rows of teeth collided uncontrollably, making a subtle rattling sound.It's not cold, but his heart is cold.

Yuan Tan didn't go to Yuan Shang, but came straight to my house
