Chapter 18 Borrowing Generals

Hanoi, here is the junction of the northeast corner of Sili and Bingzhou, not far from Luoyang.

Ding Yuan stationed his troops here. Once the situation changes, he will be able to reach Luoyang within a few days.

Yuan Shu took Ji Ling and nearly a hundred soldiers to Ding Yuan's camp.

Looking at the well-organized camp in the distance, Yuan Shu nodded secretly.

After all, he is a person who has climbed up from the bottom step by step. Although Ding Yuan may only reach this point in his life, he still has good abilities.

Yuan Shu came to the gate of the camp and was stopped by a group of patrolling soldiers. Before he could speak, a burly young man riding a horse suddenly appeared in front of him. He shouted softly at the leader of the patrolling group: "Wen Yuan,

The foster father is looking for you."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shu's eyes flashed and he looked intently at the two people in front of him.

The young man riding the horse has a strong back and a majestic weapon. He holds a square-shaped painted halberd. He looks majestic. Coupled with his unruly face, he gives people a feeling of arrogance.

Although the young man who answered in front of him was not handsome in appearance, if he looked closely, he had sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and a resolute expression.

It seems that I met the right owner as soon as I came up.

The people in front of me were Lu Bu and Zhang Liao.

Yuan Shu looked at the two people in front of him casually, but Ji Ling had a solemn and serious look on his face.

The arm holding the weapon was tense, as if he was about to swing the three-pointed two-edged sword at any moment towards the young man on horseback.

This is an instinct, the instinct of living things when they encounter natural enemies.

In Ji Ling's eyes, Lu Bu looked like a ferocious beast that could devour him at any time.

Ji Ling's eyes were fixed on Lu Bu in front of him, and he gently blocked one side of his body in front of Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu was riding on the horse. He glanced at Ji Ling's reaction from the corner of his eyes. There was a hint of admiration in his eyes, but he continued without hesitation: "Go quickly, leave this place to me."

Yuan Shu interrupted directly: "Don't bother me. I'm here just to meet Governor Ding. Why don't we come together?"

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Yuan Shu suspiciously. Seeing Yuan Shu's splendid robes and the extraordinary demeanor he exuded, he asked in a slightly slower tone, "I wonder who you are?"

Ji Ling stepped forward and said: "The master of a certain family is the newly appointed Yangzhou Prefect, Yuan Gonglu of the Yuan family in Runan."

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao had a solemn look in their eyes, the Yuan family in Runan.

Even with their background and experience, they knew that they were a top family with four generations and three nobles.

What's more, the person in front of me is only 30 years old, but he is already a prefect, one level higher than his immediate boss, Ding Yuan.

He must be a direct descendant of the Yuan family.

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

Zhang Liao quickly stood aside and said, "Yuanzhou Mu has invited you, and Governor Ding is inside."

Lu Bu also stepped aside.

Yuan Shu smiled and said: "You two generals, let's go together. This time I am looking for Governor Ding and it is related to you two."

Zhang Liao cupped his fists and said, "No."

Lu Bu dismounted and nodded reluctantly.

Then the two of them followed Yuan Shu and Ji Ling into the big tent.

The four of them came to the tent together and saw Ding Yuan frowning at a letter.

Seeing the four people coming in, Ding Yuan's eyes narrowed, and then his expression changed, he put down the letter in his hand, and greeted them with a smile: "Nephew Yuan Xian, why are you here?"

Yuan Shu also smiled and greeted him: "Uncle, I am going to Yangzhou to take up my post. I stopped by to see you."

Looking at the intimacy, it turns out that the two of them are not familiar with each other at all, they just met each other a few times, but it is not wrong to call them that based on their seniority.

"How is your father's health?"

"My father is in good health and he often talks about you."

"That's good, that's good."

Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Uncle, I actually have something to ask for when I come to the highway."

Ding Yuan's face stiffened, he knew that this guy was useless and couldn't afford to be early, and he must be up to no good, indeed!

Qiang smiled and said: "Why do you need uncle's help on the road? Anyway, if uncle can help, I will try my best to help you."

Yuan Shu said: "Actually, it's not a big deal. The main thing is that I am going to Yangzhou to take up my post. There are many ants and bandits in Yangzhou. I am deeply uneasy, so I want to borrow two people from my uncle."

After finishing speaking, his eyes were still fixed on Lu Bu and Zhang Liao who followed them in.

Ding Yuan was shocked, this guy really came with bad intentions.

It's okay to say that Zhang Liao was just an ordinary captain, but this Lu Fengxian was the general he relied on for important tasks. Not only his martial arts skills were extraordinary, but his ability to command troops was also unmatched. How could he cede this general to him?

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao at the door were also shocked. This person wanted to recruit us.

However, Zhang Liao and Lu Bu were not disgusted by this.

After all, the other party has a high status, and the future will be brighter after following him, not to mention that Ding Yuan is not very kind to them.

Lu Bu was even more resentful towards Ding Yuan. He was a peerless military general, but he insisted on making him the master.

Even if he was forced to adopt him as his adopted son, he was not even given military power!

How could this make Lu Bu not feel dissatisfied?

Ding Yuan also knew that Lu Bu would not refuse Yuan Shu's invitation, so before Yuan Shu could continue, he pretended to be bold and said: "My dear nephew, I have many thieves and bandits in Bingzhou, but since my nephew is pleading like this, I can't shirk it.

Let’s do this, except for X’s adopted son Fengxian, you can choose the other captains.”

Yuan Shu secretly thought: This old fox looks very generous on the surface, and he can choose as he pleases.

In fact, not only Lu Bu was taken out, but also generals above the rank of captain were taken out.

However, no matter how cunning and cunning you are, you are no match for Lao Tzu's prophet.

Originally, Yuan Shu's target was Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who were still just captains at this time.

So he followed the trend and said: "Since my uncle is so enthusiastic, my nephew will not be polite. My nephew thinks that this captain is good, so he can be considered one."

After saying this, Yuan Shu pointed at Zhang Liao in front of him.

"In addition, I also heard that there is a captain in my uncle's army named Gao Shun, who is very knowledgeable in military training. My nephew happens to be short of someone who knows how to train soldiers, so I would like to ask my uncle to give me some love."

Ding Yuan was shocked again. Zhang Liao had not yet made his mark and seemed to have mediocre abilities. It would be nothing to send him out.

But Gao Shun was different. This man was proficient in the infantry training methods of the Qin Dynasty.

Under Gao Shun's training, the Bingzhou infantry's combat effectiveness was always 20 to 30% higher than that of infantry from other places.

Moreover, Gao Shun recently made a request to Ding Yuan, saying that he could train the Qin Dynasty's black-armored iron army and needed a thousand top soldiers.

Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, but thinking about the power of the black-armored iron army, he still endured his heartache, gritted his teeth and sent over 700 soldiers who were close to the top. They haven't learned anything yet!

Did Gao Shun give it away?

You must know that the Black Armored Iron Army was the ultimate trump card of the Qin State at that time, and only obeyed the orders of Qin Shihuang.

Although there were only a thousand men, they were invincible, killing the Huns and running away like rats. The sergeants of the black-armored iron army were all composed of top soldiers.

Top soldiers are soldiers whose physical fitness has reached the peak of soldiers and who have experienced countless battlefields. However, they are limited by their talents and cannot take that step to become a quasi-third-rate general.

Compared with ordinary soldiers, these top soldiers can at least fight one against ten, plus customized weapons and formations. The thought of the black-armored iron army composed of these is terrifying.

Ding Yuan thought for a moment and wanted to refuse, but when he looked up, he saw Yuan Shu's slightly narrowed eyes.

The dissatisfaction and threat in Yuan Shu's eyes shocked Ding Yuan, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Yuan Shu took the opportunity and said calmly: "Since uncle has no objection, my nephew would like to thank his uncle."

Ding Yuan's face turned pale, but he didn't know what to say.

After a long while, he said: "Then let's follow my nephew!"
