28. The chess piece and the chess player are stupidly unclear
"It seems like we can achieve a big victory without the general taking action..."
"If you really have such confidence, you can take a chance. I won't interfere at will. Anyway, with my current status, I don't need such a 'little' contribution to make up anything. On the contrary, if I can see
When our army can have more young heroes and the Lord can have more outstanding talents under his command, that is my favorite thing now."
"General Gaoyi, we will definitely not disappoint the general. And just because a mere bumpkin from the countryside of Youzhou wants to fight against the famous Yuan family of the Fourth Generation and Three Dukes, it is just a small trick like this. As long as it is seen through, it will
There’s nothing to be afraid of.”
"As a soldier, it's not a good habit to talk. Everything we do is built with swords and guns."
"My subordinates must remember the general's teachings. Now please let the general watch our performance here."
"Gong Ji, although he is a bit arrogant, it is mainly because he comes from a noble family and has abilities that match his temperament. Besides, as a young man, as long as he has a few more years of experience and his surname gradually stabilizes, he will be a good young man."
It seems that Yan Liang doesn't like some of the habits of the young man who has gone far away. As Yan Liang's deputy, the old general Pi Dan couldn't help but say a few good words for the young people. After all, for those who are older, most of them
Except for those who are narrow-minded, most people have a relatively tolerant attitude towards their juniors, even if they are a fool.
"The old general is serious. When he was young, he was no different from these little guys. Except for a few people, he felt that no one in the world could compare with him. But later on, with time and experience,
With growth, you see more people and encounter more things, and then you realize that the world is
There are countless capable people. If you cannot keep a normal mind, you will not only misestimate the abilities of others, but even misestimate your own abilities. Now that the overall situation has been decided, if we can take this opportunity to let these little guys eat a
Xiaoqi, knowing not to underestimate the world's heroes may be the best result."
Regarding the slightly frivolous subordinates around him, Yan Liang really doesn't feel emotions such as anger or dissatisfaction now, because he really sees his past self in these people. It's just that he is lucky to meet that person.
A group of "bad guys" gave him a timely wake-up call, which not only improved his long-stagnant martial arts skills, but more importantly, changed some of his bad mental states. Now, even though he still has the body
I am proud of a warrior, but I also learned the humility of a warrior.
Not to mention that although the veteran general Pi Dan beside him was not outstanding in ability, he was quite well-connected in the army and always had to sell personal favors.
You must know that the other party is the ethnic group of Pi Tong, one of the 28 Yuntai generals who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they are not directly related to each other, they still have considerable influence in Anping and Qinghe, not much worse than the Yan family.
Compared to Yan Liang, who was slightly calm and calm, Gongsun Yue, whose entire team was crumbling after being violently attacked, was not in such a good mood. After all, anyone who was mentally relaxed was attacked by unknown forces, and the intensity of the attack was not high enough.
Even in small situations, there will be some confusion. Several teams have already fallen into a state of chaos, and some are even spreading towards panic - a state that not only makes them unable to act, but also causes all attributes to drop significantly.
But after all, he was worthy of being the number one right-hand man among the relatives around Gongsun Zan. Even if he encountered such an unfavorable situation, Gongsun Yue still fought hard.
He shouted loudly to make the teams that had fallen into chaos wake up as soon as possible. At the same time, he also used this method to focus the eyes of unknown enemies on himself, and then relied on his outstanding strength to kill several people who had performed well in the ambush just now.
As an outstanding enemy soldier, the morale of Gongsun Zan's troops, which had almost collapsed, was slightly improved.
Just looking at his men around him who had regained some fighting spirit and gradually escaped from the chaos, Gongsun Yue's brows furrowed even more tightly.
"These guys are definitely not ordinary bandits. They can't even defeat the Yellow Turban Army. They are not on the same level at all..."
After all, he has followed Gongsun Zan on his expeditions in the north and south for many years. He has seen all kinds of forces, participated in dozens of battles, large and small, and fought against all kinds of opponents. Gongsun Yue can easily judge the strength of his opponents - even if
They deliberately concealed it.
So, with almost no need to think, Gongsun Yue had already thought of the truth of the matter - that terrifying, cruel truth that he was not willing to admit at all and rejected almost instinctively.
You must know that even if the troops in Gongsun Yue's hands cannot be compared with the most elite troops of Gongsun's army that once roamed Youzhou due to the Battle of Guanzicheng, they are by no means easy. But now they are facing an ambush.
He was beaten to the point of near collapse in a short period of time. Gongsun Yue believed that even troops with similar combat capabilities would not be able to achieve this.
Therefore, it is obvious who this unit that has been concealing its identity is.
It was obviously such a secret plan, it was obvious that the marching route was determined so carefully, it was obvious...
But no matter how perfect he thought he was doing, the reality was so cruel, so cruel that it was suffocating.
"Brother, maybe after today we will be separated by heaven and earth, and Yue will no longer be able to help you. I just hope that you will not be affected by what happened in Yue and make wrong judgments... Yuan Benchu... Yuan Benchu is really in trouble.
Enemy..."
Maybe he has already realized that he must die. After all, the enemy has set such a big trap. Naturally, it is impossible to leave another loophole for our side to escape. Maybe a few deserters can still do it, but as an important figure like him, it is absolutely impossible.
It is number one on the enemy's must-kill list, otherwise most of the opponent's actions will be meaningless.
Not to mention that Gongsun Yue had already noticed Yan Liang and his soldiers who had not moved for a long time at the edge of the battlefield.
Although there was no interaction between Gongsun Yue and Yan Liang, and it could be said that they were not familiar with each other, Gongsun Yue had already smelled the instinct emanating from Yan Liang that made him feel frightened simply by relying on his warrior intuition.
Just as he had sensed something wrong with the environment in this area before and finally confirmed that there was an ambush, Gongsun Yue was even more convinced of his intuition this time. Although Yan Liang had not yet entered the battlefield, the murderous aura in his body was not there.
It wasn't very heavy, but because his aura had been firmly locked on Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Yue instinctively felt the dangerous feeling.
And this was also the last straw that made Gongsun Yue's life-and-death ambition, a huge and heavy straw.
However, before facing Yan Liang, Gongsun Yue didn't mind recruiting as many of Yuan Shaojun's enemies as possible to support him, such as the young general from Yuan Shaojun who suddenly rushed over in front of him.
"Although I may not survive today, my head is not something someone like you can take away!"
Facing the young man with a slightly arrogant attitude across from him, Gongsun Yue's lips curved into a sarcastic arc. He was Gongsun Yue, the commander of the strongest army in Youzhou, Baima Yicong. How could he be intimidated if he had no ability?
Those proud and mighty generals!
As a result, the arrogant young man finally paid the price for his frivolity - a blood-stained arrow came out of his body, and not far from him, there were Yan Liang and him who were full of anger but powerless.
’s deputy general.
Although in such terrain, Gongsun Yue, who is good at riding and shooting, is completely unable to exert his professional advantages, but even as a "fixed fort", it has advantages that ordinary soldiers cannot match. After all, the Gongsun family has great respect for cavalry archers.
His research can be said to be quite thorough. As a direct descendant, training and practice in this area are naturally indispensable.
Of course, Gongsun Yue was subsequently besieged and killed by Yan Liang and other descendants from Jizhou families. His body was even chopped into meat paste by those angry young people, and not even one of his soldiers could escape Yuan Shaojun's trap.
The dragnet.
Although Yuan Shaojun suffered some slight losses due to Gongsun Jun's dying counterattack, overall the ambush was quite exciting.
A few days later, Yuan Shao received several secret letters in the county government office of Xiu County under Bohai County.
"Let me take a look... Gongji's side, um, did a good job. Although this loss is a bit larger than expected, it is still acceptable. After all, Gongsun Bogui has spent a lot of money this time. Huh? The Yin family
That kid was killed by Gongsun Yue
?Forget it, it’s not bad that the arrogant guy ended up like this. It saved me a lot of trouble and allowed others to remember their names. Gong Ji did a great job this time. He is indeed a man with the qualifications of a famous general.
He's the guy I like."
Although the first secret letter made Yuan Shao frown occasionally, it still put a faint smile on his face most of the time. Although this expression was not obvious to Yuan Shao, but for those who
For guys who are good at observing words and emotions, it is too obvious to let them know what to say next.
Of course, beings like Tian Feng naturally don't have to be like this, but how many people like him are there in the entire Yuan Shaojun? I'm afraid even Hu Muban, who originally had a huge influence in the court, Ma said
Even Xizhiliu cannot do it.
The subsequent opening and reading of Ji Feng's secret letter failed to change Yuan Shao's mood. Although the expression on his face was still the faint and almost undetectable smile, which had not increased by one bit, but for Tian Feng and others,
For everyone, this is the best result for them. After all, even the upright Tian Feng will not make stupid moves to find trouble for no reason.
However, this smile could not be maintained until all the secret messages were read.
"Huh? How could this be? Such a reaction seems a bit... abnormal? Well, it is indeed a bit unexpected."
Although Yuan Shao suppressed the smile on his face, he did not show any anger or other expressions with his deep frown, which made all his subordinates who had been paying attention to him slightly relieved. At the same time, they were also interested in the contents of the secret letter.
Aroused great curiosity.
Fortunately, although Yuan Shao fell into deep thought for a moment, he did not keep them waiting for too long.
"The troops of Gao Lan and Jiang Qi successfully ambushed the troops from Bingzhou in the Lingshou area of Changshan. However, the enemy was very alert and retreated calmly after suffering some losses. The direction seemed to be heading west and back to Bingzhou, but we
We can't take it lightly because of this, after all, those Dong thieves' lackeys in the mountains of Bingzhou are a tough bunch."
Yuan Shao finished the above remarks in a calm tone, and continued without waiting for anyone to take the opportunity to say complimentary words.
"But what makes me feel strange is that if the intelligence I received is correct, the army in Bingzhou has outstanding generals such as Zhao Yun and Zhang Jia. At the same time, Jushou, a famous scholar in Jizhou, seems to have been following this army. Although Gao Gao
Lan Lan and Jiang Qi are both excellent generals. Cui Hao and Wang Lun who follow them are also wise men and have the ability to ambush and raid.
advantage, but it is too strange and abnormal for the Bingzhou Army to retreat to Bingzhou after only suffering a small 'setback'. Bo Ming, you are familiar with both Zhao Yun and Zhang Jia.
Do you think these two people will be the kind of cowardly guys? Yuan Hao, based on your familiarity with Jushou, how do you think he will respond to our actions?"
Yuan Shao's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring cold water on all those originally eager eyes, causing all the surrounding men to fall into deep thought.
After all, the power of the Bingzhou Army has been recognized by the world. Whether it was the direct confrontation that prevented the Kwantung Allied Forces from advancing in Hanoi during the Battle of Dong, or the countless versions of the
The history of the battles of the barbarians in the northern grasslands, and even the battle reports from the Western Regions that could not be differentiated between true and false, all show the strength of this army.
So in fact, as soon as Yuan Shao received the intelligence that Bingzhou might interfere with Jizhou, he focused most of his energy on this matter, arranging various measures for such a military group with a low origin but extraordinary strength.
After all, after the war against Dong, the group headed by Yuan Shao
Some children of aristocratic families from Hebei have begun to realize that in this troubled world, although their origins can still bring them the same power as before, if there is no guarantee of strong force, then what they have now will
Power is nothing but a castle in the air.
Therefore, to deal with the Bingzhou Army's troops that had penetrated into Jizhou, Yuan Shao did not take the same approach as he did to Gongsun Zan's army and annihilate them all by surprise. This greatly affected Gongsun Zan's strength and at the same time angered him, allowing him to do what he did.
He made wrong judgments and exposed more flaws in subsequent battles for Yuan Shaojun to exploit.
On the contrary, although Gao Lan and Jiang Qi are both famous generals in Hebei, and Cui Hao and Wang Lun are also elites from aristocratic families who have received elite education and training from aristocratic families, in the face of Zhao Yun, Yan Liang has such a good reputation and even military force.
Wen Chou, who thought he was invincible in singles, faced Jushu, who was on par with top elites like Tian Feng, Xu You, and Feng Ji. Yuan Shao did not believe that the other party would really be defeated by his own "wave".
Brush down.
Not to mention that Zhao Yun, Zhang Jia, Ju Shu and even the less famous Qianzhao can all be regarded as natives of Jizhou. Among them, Zhao Yun himself is a native of Changshan, and the geographical advantage is not as obvious as it was for Gongsun Jun.
Therefore, rather than letting Gao Lan and Jiang Qi's troops teach Bingzhou a lesson, it is better to use this army as a test to test Bingzhou's determination to intervene in Jizhou and how much support they can get on Jizhou's land.
After all, although on the surface it seems that Yuan Shao has been living in Bohai since he escaped from Luoyang until he challenged Dong, and then he devoted all his attention to conquering Dong. It was not until recently that he came up with the idea of temporarily staying away from the center to gain territory and dominate the world.
But if you think that all Yuan Shao's actions are so simple, you are totally wrong.
Although it had only been two years since Yuan Shao came to Jizhou, and most of the time he was still leading troops, this fact did not affect Yuan Shao's communication or even win-over with the local aristocratic families in Jizhou.
You must know that even if Yuan Shao was born in the Yuan family in Runan, he can basically be regarded as a member of the Yuzhou family group in terms of geographical division. He and the family in Hebei are not completely in the same interest group in the court, but thanks to the eunuchs,
Several people who have been repeatedly suppressed at the central and even local level
The relationship between the big family groups is not as complicated as it was originally. Even because of the more stable and smooth behavior of the previous generations of the Yuan family and the help they secretly provided to those party members during the disasters of the party, Yuan Shao easily integrated into the Hebei family.
circle and quickly became a leader among them.
Of course, this is also because of Yuan Shao's own abilities, such as Tian Feng, Cui Jun, Cui Yan, Zhen Yan and other outstanding figures from Hebei families, as well as the Shu family of Weijun, the Feng family of Anping, the Julu Guo family, and the Hejian Xing family.
Wait, these families are either overt or covert
Support. And this support also makes even those governors who are theoretically on the same level as Yuan Shao have to lean towards Yuan Shao due to the influence of the families under their rule, so that even if Yuan Shao is only the governor of a county, he has a vague influence over the entire
The potential of Jizhou.
So even if Han Fu thought he was secretive enough and Ju Shou and Zhao Yun were extremely careful, with the help of the Jizhou family, they still couldn't escape Yuan Shao's eyes and ears, let alone Gongsun, who basically looked at Jizhou with a black eye.
military.
However, even so, Yuan Shao is still not at ease. After all, although Han Fu is already a grasshopper after the autumn - he can't jump around for a few days, he can be regarded as a famous person after all, and he is also united with some Jizhou aristocratic families, even if
Yuan Shao has asked them to try to remain neutral in the fight between him and Han Fu, but even Yuan Shao can only encourage and helplessly criticize such thoughts as Zhongjun. At most, they can only complain and complain in private.
That's why he wanted to test and further confirm how much control he had over Jizhou.
However, the reaction of the troops in Bingzhou was a bit strange, which made Yuan Shao feel like he had punched the cotton. Although this feeling was not strong, in other places, "everything is calculated."
"Within" but this place exceeded his expectations, Yuan Shao couldn't help but feel uncomfortable all over.
"Li Xue, you must be snickering in Jinyang now. Anyway, it is really a great joy in life to have an opponent like you as my whetstone on my way to compete for the world, Yuan Benchu."
At this time, Yuan Shao's high-spirited face burst out with a pair of dazzling lights.
"Sneeze!" At the same time, a young man who was practicing martial arts at home felt a chill all over his body and couldn't help but sneeze.
"Could it be that Zilongjiang misses me, or is he dissatisfied with me giving him full power to deal with anything he encounters in Jizhou, thinking that this is my abandonment of him in Jizhou?
Why do I feel that the above ideas are dangerous to some extent? I always feel that if Tamako-chan knows about it, there is a possibility of getting on a good ship."
So things seem to be getting more and more interesting. (To be continued.)
