"When we get here, we should have almost thrown away the opponent. Although it cannot be called outstanding in terms of strength, it is still worthy of praise from the perspective of resilience. After all, even if we are pursuing for such a long time, we can persist without being thrown away.
We can still be proud of it throughout the country, but it’s a pity that we can’t have a good fight with the opponent’s commander.”
Liang Tian, who seemed to throw away the long stick in his hand casually, and spoke a very passionate second line with a calm expression on his face, made the people around him who were originally a little depressed forget about the previous failure and all stayed.
Groups of black lines and drops of cold sweat.
"Xiangkong, after all, the opponent's troops are also elites who have fought against the Qiang people in Xiliang for a long time. Even if they are compared with our troops, they will not be at a disadvantage, let alone they still have
The advantages of location and people..."
Although such words sounded a bit like trying to embolden other people's ambitions, Zhang Hui did not give up on "treating" Liang Tian because of this.
"No, no, no, Xiao Kui feels that Brother Xiangkong seems to have some grudge against the Yuan family. In the previous battle, although General Zilong asked us not to fight, Brother Xiangkong was still the last group to evacuate.
, and he also performed the most ferociously during the battle, giving people the feeling of 'Ah, this person can defeat his opponent'."
Although Jia Kui acted cute when he spoke, it obviously had no effect on Liang Tian. He only got a fairly standard hand knife from Liang Tian. The only good thing was that the strength of the hand knife was more of a caressing level.
"I do have some personal grudges with that Yuan family, but according to reliable information, my target should be Yuan Shu, not Yuan Shao..."
Liang Tian seemed unwilling to mention his own affairs. At the same time, he did not want this matter to leave too many impressions on his companions' minds. After all, everyone's enemy is Yuan Shao now. If everyone has a "Liang Tian"
"There is some unsolvable blood feud between Tian and Yuan Shao" and then believed that his thinking would be affected by this, which would have a bad impact on his status in the team, and no matter what the outcome,
It doesn't look good to him.
"But I didn't expect that the Zhen family would actually be able to do it. Their eldest lady, fifth lady and third young master are all in our hands. Aren't they afraid that doing so will cause irreparable consequences?"
Well, regardless of the strange feeling hidden in this sentence, Xiao Jia Kui found that just after he said this sentence, everyone in the entire circle looked at him with a strange look. Including the people next to him
Including Jushou who has been making soy sauce.
"I...did I say something wrong?"
Little friend Jia Kui immediately had the tendency to evolve into a quail. After all, the eyes around him were too "hot".
"Don't Liang Dao know the behavior of those aristocratic families?" Liang Tian's tone was a little curious and also contained a bit of mystery, as if he was saying, "You don't even know such common sense issues."
.
"I have heard some from my fathers, but I always felt that what I heard was misguided. Now that I have experienced it myself, it still feels a bit unbelievable. Maybe it is because my family has declined after all, or maybe our family has never been big enough.
"
With a bit of enlightenment and a bit of regret and self-deprecation, Jia Kui shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"After all, these are troubled times. If you can't adjust as soon as possible to adapt to such an era, you will eventually be completely crushed by the rolling wheels of the times... Of course. This is what I heard from my lord... Even so
The description is a little strange, but when I think about it carefully, it is quite appropriate, and I quickly agreed with this truth."
I don’t know when Zhang Jia also participated in everyone’s discussion, but after hearing his words, many people had a few strange emotions flashing in their hearts, but everyone quickly covered it up. After all,
They are not stupid.
"So this means that the Zhen family may be split into two in the future and become the Jinyang Zhen family and the Wuji Zhen family?"
"Perhaps only God knows whether it will become like this. After all, if the lord can unify the north or something, the two families may no longer need to worry about whether to separate. And if they are separated for a long time, it will naturally happen after two generations.
They will become strangers, just like the Yuan family of Runan and the Yuan family of Chenjun who are acting like strangers now."
There are many similar examples. For example, the Deng family that some of them had met in Xiliang has nothing to do with Deng Yu, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The remaining veins of the Deng family can protect the Deng family's bloodline in certain special situations, or they can also be used to keep certain secrets.
Of course, no matter how careful the arrangement is, there are actually certain risks when it is implemented, but such an arrangement will minimize the risk - unless you are really unlucky enough to be punished by God, there will always be a resurgence.
one day.
What made everyone present a little helpless was that not long after entering Jizhou, a very important intelligence source in their original plan not only disappeared but even threatened their safety. This was somewhat of a "dark door".
smell.
"My lord, now that our actions have been exposed, both in terms of plan and purpose, do you think it is necessary for us to continue? Or maybe you have already considered this situation and have already thought of corresponding countermeasures.
?”
In a corner some distance away from the discussion group, Zhao Yun was politely asking Jushou something in a very respectful tone.
After all, whether it came from Li Shushi's order to "try to win over rare talents like Ju Shou" or the demeanor shown by Ju Shou in their interactions during this period, they all had a subtle influence on Zhao Yun's attitude towards Ju Shou.
As for Zhao Yun's attitude towards him along the way, Jushou did not show much resistance or other special emotions. Instead, he acted very naturally and appropriately - of course. You can also understand it as an attitude.
Express.
After all, Jushu's current lord is still Han Fu. Even if he is a lord who is destined to have no future, the relationship between him and Jushu as a monarch is not that great. In other words, the relationship between Jushu, including his family behind him, and Han Fu are far from reaching the level of
The entanglement was deep-rooted, so while Jushou was loyal to Han Fu, he also made some necessary preparations.
As for which path he is inclined to choose in his heart, perhaps no one except himself will understand.
Of course, Zhao Yun or Zhang Jia must have a "little note" secretly thrust into their hands by Jia Xu, which may have something like, "If Ju Gong does not come to Bingzhou, bring his person or body back."
Give the order.
I always feel that such a scene makes Jia Xu, who is already quite gloomy, look more like the kind of character whose eyes keep flashing. However, it seems that such a character sometimes turns into a character who cannot express emotions at the end of the play.
Here comes the stupid dad.
So Jia Xu, who always wants to kick away his sense of existence, would not do this kind of thing to increase his own existence! Probably...
"Isn't this situation originally planned by Cheng Zhongde, Jia Wen and the two adults? In other words, it is a kind of goodwill that the Zhen family draws a clear line with you so quickly instead of choosing a more appropriate time.
performance. It’s just that even
I did not expect that in such a short period of time after the Yuan family announced the lord's crime and launched an army to attack, the powerful families in Jizhou had already made their choice. No, maybe I have already considered such a situation, but I have been reluctant to do so.
Just admit it."
There was also a slightly bitter look on Jushou's face. After all, as he said, even he had to admit until now how powerful Yuan Shao was in infiltrating Hebei's powerful people, especially the powerful families in Jizhou, and his own lord
How heartless it is now.
Although people's hearts often don't seem to play a big role. After all, as long as you control the army, you can dominate the entire situation and get the results you want. But at certain times, the conflict between people's hearts will erupt with terrifying power.
Just like now. Even though Jushu designed a not too bad plan for Han Fu who was already "crazy", it was just that this plan had already become riddled with holes in the initial stage - those who were disappointed with Han Fu
Or maybe they believe that Yuan Shao, a young talent from a wealthy family, is the future pillar of the country.
The powerful heads of the hopeful families have used their own methods to flatter the future rulers of Jizhou in their minds. They may provide financial and material support, or provide intelligence support on the local situation. Or simply send out the best sons and sons of their families and
Private troops participated in Yuan Jun's battles.
This kind of support made Yuan Shao more comfortable facing both Gongsun's army and Bingzhou's army.
This is not a question of strength, but of the huge advantage and strategic and tactical initiative brought about by intelligence asymmetry.
In fact, the Bingzhou Army's troops were able to almost completely retreat from the encirclement set by Yuan Shao's army, which is enough to be called powerful. Although there are certainly reasons why Yuan Shao did not use all his strength, regardless of Gao Lan's
Jiang Qi is also a valuable general under Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao himself has to leave enough troops around him to deal with emergencies, right?
In other words, it is definitely a miracle to get a bodyguard like Su Xiaoluoli like Li Shushi who can deal with any situation calmly.
"Now that the situation is basically clear, has General Zhao made a decision about the future? Now that the situation has become like this, no matter what choice General Zhao makes, he will accept it without thinking that the general has done anything wrong. If the general wants
Bring the troops back to Bingzhou, and even if you risk your life, you will definitely send the general's troops to the border of Bingzhou. And if the general wants to cause another trouble in the land of Jizhou, then Shi will follow the general and the Yuan Dynasty in accordance with the previous agreement
They will fight to the end."
After Jushou was depressed for a moment, he seemed to have regained his original demeanor. His eyes looking at Zhao Yun's face also burst out with determination. It was obvious that this Yanzhao man had made the final decision in his heart.
.
"The Lord and your husband are so righteous, how could Zilong disappoint him? And if my lord knows that Zilong and I left my husband in Jizhou, I am afraid that Zilong will be punished even if he returns to Bingzhou with the whole army safely.
Punish me. Besides, Yun doesn’t want to feel uneasy because he hears Mr.’s name in the enemy camp on the battlefield in the future.”
"Is Li Bingzhou worth paying such a huge price for Jushu?"
"Of course it's worth it, sir, and sir and Changshan Zhao Zilong are here. I'm afraid it's not us but Yuan Jun's people who are restless."
"Li Bingzhou is willing to spend such a huge amount of money even if he only obtains Ju Shuo, even if Ju Shuo's family cannot obtain it?"
"Do you, sir, want to hear the secret instructions from Mr. Zhongde and me before leaving?"
"Haha, if I can chat with General Zilong and other generals like crazy, my plan with Mr. Ju is not in vain!"
"So, Sir, do you have your own ideas about our army's next actions? Although Yun is also from Changshan, he doesn't know much about the vast area outside his hometown, and he knows very little about the relationship between powerful families.
.”
Zhao Yun's statement is definitely modest. After all, whether he was with Tong Yuan or later with Li Shushi, he walked back and forth in the land of Jizhou several times. Even if he was not familiar with some local powerful people, he
Not unfamiliar either.
"General Zilong is humble. Although I do have some ideas about our future, I still want to ask the general for his opinion. Now that the general understands the situation our army is facing now, what will the general think next?
What attitude should we adopt to face the powerful families and people of Jizhou? Professor thinks this matter is crucial for our next actions?"
"Sir, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that I still need to think twice about my attitude towards those powerful men?"
"Yes. Although now it seems that Yuan's plan is very big, and the long and far-reaching layout time cannot be made up by us in a short time. But I have also heard some rumors, so I have this question: Li Zhoumu is not the only one who has ambitions.
In Jizhou or even in the world, are you just willing to live in a corner and wait for peace in the world, and protect the peace and health of northern Xinjiang for the Han Dynasty? In the end, do you want to be Duke Zhou of Dou?"
Probably out of temptation or for some other reason, Ju Shou asked this question like this. Although Zhao Yun could understand this question very well, after all, in troubled times, "a good minister chooses the tree to live in" is a broad rule.
The truth of identity is not only related to the future of the individual. It may also be related to the future development, continuation and even prosperity of the family.
Spreading the family's strength can certainly effectively avoid risks, but doing so not only requires the support of enough outstanding family elites, but will also distract the family's investment ability and even affect the initial position and competitiveness of family members in the power. Therefore,
In addition to the powerful and long-established gatekeepers, small families still rely more on their own vision and judgment.
Especially in the Central Plains, in this land of loyalty, filial piety and loyalty, being the head of the rat is the most annoying behavior. Even though the powerful people will still be appointed, they will be subject to various restrictions and eventually become depressed.
end.
only……
After hearing Jushou's question, which was not considered a difficult question, Zhao Yun fell into silence.
Should he tell the truth to the outstanding counselor Li Shushi attaches great importance to, or should he tell...
At this moment, Zhao Yun became a little hesitant.
"What about the former, what about the latter?"
Zhao Yun finally thought of something and finally didn't dwell on it for too long. Before Ju Shou could recover, he asked his question, as if he was changing the topic, and as if he was planning to believe the question and give a more accurate answer.
.
"If it's the former, then our next actions will be focused on fighting Yuan's army. After all, if Lizhou Mu is in the world, then even if Jizhou can't enter for the time being, it will still have to be faced in the end. If we can't leave a good relationship in time, at least
You can't leave too many mortal enemies behind. And for every family in a place, a single move can affect the entire family, and eventually it will become unmanageable.
As for the latter... Let’s not talk about whether Li Bingzhou still has any intention of getting involved in the land of Jizhou. Let’s just say that if Li Bingzhou and the Jizhou family are in conflict, it will be a good thing for the person who has the ability to end the troubled times.
.So we can be more liberal in our actions. Anyway, with our military strength and the strength of our generals, the fortresses of some medium-sized families and even some big families are not a very difficult problem for us.
In order to deal with my lord's troops, Yuan Benchu cannot put more energy on us. Although most of the powerful families in Jizhou have turned to our opponents, there are still many loyal people around the lord. As long as
The lord himself has not given up the will to fight, so they will not abandon him first. And when Yuan Shao and my lord decide the winner, we will have enough time to reach a safe place before that."
So, how will Zhao Yun choose children's shoes?
"Although we have no intention to be enemies of the entire Jizhou family, we cannot restrain our hands and feet because of this. Letting the other party see our strength when necessary is not a barbaric expression. For the same reason, it is also possible to blindly show weakness.
If we make the other party think that we are weak and can be bullied, they will feel that they can do whatever they want in the future and become a serious problem for us.”
In the end, Zhao Yun chose such a slightly ambiguous answer. Although what he said was not unreasonable, Jushou obviously also saw something that the other party wanted to hide.
"Is that so? Well, it is true that too many constraints are not a good thing for our situation. But sometimes there are some things that do not need to be done by oneself. Can we effectively borrow help from other aspects?
The best choice.”
It seemed that he meant something, and seemed to be explaining something. Zhao Yun felt that there seemed to be indescribable excitement under the calm face of Ju Shou in front of him, although this feeling was more like an illusion to Zhao Yun. (
