Chapter 679 The dust has settled
Baima Yicong was defeated, at the hands of the Euphorbia warriors whom he looked down upon the most. Gongsun Zan was defeated, at the hands of Yuan Shao.
At the end of the battle, Gongsun Zan still didn't say a word, but after being stabbed to death by Wen Chou, he glanced in the direction of Jixian with a little nostalgia. Baima Yicong did not retreat, and followed Gongsun Zan with Tian Yu, two thousand six hundred and sixty-six.
Of the hundreds of people, none survived.
Yuan Shao's army did not fare well either, with more than 20,000 casualties, and nearly 2,000 of the three thousand Euphorbia soldiers fell. However, Yuan Shao did not pay attention to the battle losses. His excited eyes were all focused on Gongsun Zan's body.
"Your Majesty, how should Gongsun Bogui's body be disposed of?" Wen Chou placed Gongsun Zan's body on the ground and said in a deep voice.
As an opponent, Gongsun Zan's strength and character were respectable. Wen Chou was excited about Gongsun Zan's death but also had a trace of regret and respect. Even though he was constantly bullied by Gongsun Zan before, he did not act harshly in the end and gave
Gongsun Zan's whole corpse.
"Find a better coffin and send it to Jixian City. Then he will be buried in Jixian County with the rites of a prince, which is worthy of his status," Yuan Shao said lightly.
"No." Wen Chou nodded.
As for cleaning up the battlefield afterwards, Zhang He naturally took over. He solemnly ordered his soldiers to bury all the soldiers, including the Baima Yicong, before leading his army to catch up with Yuan Shao, who was rushing to Jixian.
Bringing Gongsun Zan's body to Jixian County, Guan Jing led his troops to surrender and offered up the city. However, something unexpected happened during this period. When Guan Jing was kneeling down, he suddenly held a short dagger and tried to get close to him.
Yuan Shao stabbed him to death. However, Yuan Shao's skills were not simple. He easily dodged and stabbed the weak scholar to death with his backhand.
Guan Jing died unsurprisingly, but he also achieved his goal. Because of this assassination, a deep thorn was planted between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's subordinate Wen Wu who surrendered to Yuan Shao. Originally, he planned to reward these people heavily.
The civil and military Yuan Shao came directly to the palace in Jixian with a dark face. Afterwards, all the remnants who had surrendered to Yuan Shao were left in the cold. Guan Jing, who was narrow-minded and vengeful, had also reached the end of his punishment for these traitors.
Youzhou's movements were soon known to the other three princes who were paying close attention. In spite of their helplessness, they were also happy to see another trump card of Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shaojun's tenacity in this battle was enough to make everyone stunned. With his tenacity, he was able to pull down the White Horse Yi Cong who had reached his peak. It would be understandable if it was just the Euphorbia warriors who had such tenacity. After all, they had condensed their military souls.
Although they were elites, the tens of thousands of troops still maintained their peak morale even though less than half of them were lost. This cannot be explained by Yuan Shaoshen's leadership.
...
In Jinling, Yuan Shu, who had received the first-hand news, looked at the battle report and marveled: "Yuan Benchu is really capable. If it weren't for Gongsun Zan's incredible luck, he probably wouldn't even be able to find out his background. He's hidden deep enough!
"
"All the princes in the world are hiding their secrets, but Yuan Shao's secrets are almost exposed. This is all thanks to the 'care' of your good brother, Your Majesty!" Guo Jia, who looked dissolute, joked.
"What Fengxiao said is true. Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande are both people with great luck. Cao Mengde can find opportunities in any situation and even make a comeback, while Liu Xuande has become more and more incomprehensible after several disastrous defeats.
.Neither of these two people are economical." Xun You said in a deep voice.
"Anyway, in this battle of Youzhou, we are the biggest winners besides Yuan Benchu. Your Majesty, your business is of real value. I thought it was just a small profit, but I didn't expect that Gongsun Zan is really interesting."
Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Yes! You gave me such a big gift. It seems that I have to take care of Gongsun Xu." Yuan Shu said with a slight smile.
To a certain extent, he was plotted by Gongsun Zan, but Yuan Shu was very happy with this kind of plotting, just like his previous plotting against Gongsun Zan. However, by properly arranging Gongsun Xu, he could obtain the military soul army that has now surpassed the army.
He has made a lot of money by following the half-step of White Horse Yiyi.
"But who does your Majesty intend to hand over to Baima Yicong now? Or Zilong?" Tian Feng asked with some hesitation.
"Otherwise? A general chooses his soldiers, and soldiers also choose their generals. Among the generals, Zilong and Baima Yicong are the most compatible. If not, who can I leave it to him? Is it possible to give it to Bo Fu, that little fool? When the time comes, we won't give it to him.
It would be strange for Baima Yi to be used as a heavy cavalry." Yuan Shu curled his lips and said.
He is not as stubborn as Gongsun Zan, insisting on using light cavalry as heavy cavalry. Light cavalry is light cavalry, and heavy cavalry is heavy cavalry. If they charge head-on, can the White Horse Yi Cong compare to Li Jue's Flying Bear Army? What he is obviously best at is speed.
Do you have to fight hand-to-hand and seek death? In Yuan Shu's eyes, Baima Yicong's position is that of a light cavalry who rides and shoots at the enemy. Frontal hand-to-hand combat has to be handled by professionals. As a light cavalry, you should do what the light cavalry does.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of a fight between Bo Fu and General Zilong?" Guo Jia said with a smile in his eyes.
"It's okay. Zilong has a measured attack and won't beat Bo Fu too badly. By the way, send someone to tell this guy that if you have the ability, you can defeat Zilong in a fair duel. When the time comes, I will give Baima Yicong to him.
Him." Yuan Shu said.
"Pfft."
Guo Jia couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, you are trying to trick Bo Fu to death! According to Zilong's strength, he probably won't be able to achieve this goal in his life."
"Everyone must have a goal. I'm afraid that Zilong will be too gentle. If he returns to Jinling another day, let him go to the martial arts hall and let Lu Fengxian educate him well." Yuan Shu said to his son without caring.
Zhao Yun's biggest problem when competing with his colleagues is that he is too measured. With his humble temperament, he can draw with the opponent every time. There are many back and forth, and those who don't know think he is a 50-50 flag wood. Sun Ce's
Yuan Shu's character couldn't be clearer. Those who are lawless are those who need to be dealt with. Zhao Yun, who has a gentle temperament, cannot suppress this guy at all.
Lu Bu's personality is obviously different from that of Zhao Yun, and he definitely won't have too many scruples when he starts. If Sun Ce really makes him anxious, although he doesn't dare to kill Sun Ce, he can still beat Sun Ce to bed for half a year with a halberd.
Did it.
"Does Your Majesty intend to let Bo Fu train a military soul army by himself?" Jia Xu said suddenly.
"Yes, the Overlord Cavalry under his command has already begun to take shape. If he works hard, it will probably take shape within three to five years. At the time, this unit was basically a perfect match for him, and its future achievements will be no less than that of Commander-in-Chief Gongsun Zan.
The white horse obeys." Yuan Shu nodded.
The compatibility of the military soul corps is very important. Today's military soul corps are basically controlled by their creators, or at least their inheritors. But Zhao Yun is different. He has nothing to do with Baima Yicong. Although their personalities match,
After all, he is the "stepfather", so it would be nice to be able to bring out the strength that Baima Yicheng has achieved.
"Your Majesty is really well-intentioned for Bo Fu!" Guo Jia said sincerely.
Although on the surface Yuan Shu is very troubled and bored with this adopted son, in fact who doesn't know the special status of Sun Ce in Yuan Shu's heart? Apart from other things, how was the Overlord's cavalry established? War horses are all Yuan Shu can produce.
The best; the weapons and armor were all specially made by Yuan Shu at the request of Mr. Lu according to Sun Ce's ideas; the establishment was directly under Sun Ce, and no one had the right to call it unless Sun Ce agreed. This is completely a treatment for cultivating a successor.
