"Remember, you must ensure that every young man can return to his hometown. Even if they have no relatives, they must find a stable home for them in their hometown. I don't want to hear about them in my dreams one day.
If any one of them complains to me, then I can only have a 'talk' with you, remember!"
"Yes, General! We will definitely complete the mission, in the best possible way."
"Very good, then you can set off. My body cannot allow me to send you and the boys further."
"Please come back. We need you more than us now."
Although he was told this, Qu Yi still stood there, waiting until the figure had disappeared from the layers of tents, and then slowly turned around with the help of the guards around him.
"Hiss~"
However, the strength of the opponent's hand was obviously not controlled well, and the sudden pain made Qu Yi couldn't help but take a breath.
However, facing the ashamed young man, Qu Yi did not say any words of criticism. Instead, he showed a gentle smile to the young man.
"Don't blame yourself, young man. But you can see that there are still many things you need to learn."
"Yes, General! I will definitely work hard!"
As Qu Yi himself said, he is now surrounded by young people who have great potential but are too young. These young people are all outstanding figures in the grassroots troops, and all of them are members of their troops.
Although he is a "star figure" in the film, if he wants to become a qualified bodyguard next to him, Qu Yi, whether it is the general Qu Yi or the young people, they still need a lot of time to get along with each other, so Qu Yi naturally
I won't lose my temper over such small things.
Even if his current mood is not as kind as his face.
"General Zhengdao looks a lot better today. This way Zhengdao will feel less guilty."
"Xiao Nao is polite. Qu Yi became like this because he was too reckless and underestimated his opponent. This allowed his opponent to take advantage and made the bastard famous. He even almost lost Hanoi. After the war,
Qu Yi will go to the lord to collect his guilt, but before the lord sends new orders, I hope you can help me again."
At this time, Qu Yi's attitude was really quite humble. It can be said that it was very different from his past behavior. After all, as an old minister in the Bingzhou Army, although he was not one of Li Shushi's original subordinates,
But as a general who took refuge with Li Shushi when he went to Lishi to serve as the governor of Xihe, he can definitely be regarded as a veteran.
In Xihe, with his outstanding ability, Qu Yi quickly rose to prominence in Li Shushi's army, and together with Gao Shun became the two generals under Li Shushi who were best at commanding troops. To some extent, their status was second only to Lu Bu, and even
It was also slightly higher than Zhao Yun who appeared more as a fighting general at that time.
Although he was later recommended as the Xiongnu Zhonglang General, to some extent he broke away from the Bingzhou Army, but Bingshuo was already inextricably linked, and later played a role in fueling the merger of Bingshuo, so even if
There was a period of blankness. But after returning, he was still trusted by Li Shushi, and he was promoted all the way to the position of governor of Liang Qianshi.
With a smooth official career and outstanding abilities, Qu Yi may indeed act a little arrogant sometimes, but he does have the capital to be arrogant, and because of a group of outstanding talents such as Lu Bu, Gao Shun, and Zhao Yun,
The existence of the general prevented Qu Yi from developing the kind of "I can't move the whole Bingzhou Army without me" space, so the relationship between the emperor and his ministers with Li Shushi has always been very good.
But all of this was easily reversed because of the outcome of a battle.
Qu Yi can't help but feel incredible even when he thinks about it now.
It can only be said that the enemy did a very good job of keeping it secret, which prevented him from noticing the most terrifying enemy.
But even if he really knew that the man was hiding in the enemy's formation, could Qu Yi really take him seriously?
The doubts before Fa Zheng were still heard, but how did Qu Yi respond at that time?
[Just a child from Yuan Shao's family, what a joke. Even if he has some tricks, it's nothing but a joke in the face of absolute strength.]
But what’s the result?
In the end, it turned into a joke and it was him, Qu Yi, who became someone else's electronic classroom.
If he were not proficient in battlefield intelligence and reconnaissance, he would have had a strange scout force formed in the name of Li Shushi, and he would have realized the enemy's conspiracy, even if it was a little late, which would not help the overall situation, but it would have successfully saved the enemy.
Save his life.
But even so, in his current state, even if he is commanding from behind, it will not be easy.
Maybe Li Shushi won't really kill him, but a coaching change is not completely impossible.
Therefore, it is very rare that even Qu Yi has restrained his somewhat arrogant attitude.
Naturally, he would not be angry because of the mocking smile flashing in Fazheng's eyes.
After all, Fazheng, as the mastermind sent to him by Li Shushi, failed to play his due role because of his arrogance. It is normal to have some complaints in his heart, not to mention that he was not a good man or woman, but as Jia Xu
My colleagues would not reveal their thoughts easily on weekdays, but I imagine there would be no shortage of accusations against me for not listening to advice in the military newspaper.
Should I say that I am lucky that I did not choose to command the rear army out of shame? Otherwise, I, who is already dead now, may never have the opportunity to watch the changes in the expressions of my colleagues like this again. The fortune of the Qu family depends on Qu Yan and his junior
I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to support it.
It can only be said that it is left to be used in a useful life. Although it requires some endurance, it is still much better than leaving the place to cool down.
However, although Fazheng was indeed quite gloating about Qu Yi's current appearance, it was basically not written on his face. It was a pity that the trace that occasionally showed was caught by Qu Yi, but Qu Yi's
Daoxing is obviously deeper, so Fazheng doesn't know that he has seen it... Let's not be pretentious about the rest.
"Tell me, Takanao, what's the reason for calling everyone here today?"
It turns out that the convener of this meeting was not Qu Yi, but Fa Zheng, who was supervising the army. This was normal. During the period when Qu Yi was seriously injured and unable to serve as director, Fa Zheng basically handled all the military affairs of the Sizhou Front Army.
Take a step in, but because as Qu Yi
The deputies Guan Hai and Ma Teng had no intention of interfering at all. Cao Xing, who nominally belonged to Qu Yi but whose actual affiliation was known to everyone, even took the initiative to help. Even though Gan Ning was still a difficult thorn in his side,
It will not affect the overall situation.
And this is another reason why Qu Yi feels that he is likely to be transferred.
Obviously everyone seems to be mentally prepared.
"Mainly two things." Fazheng looked at Qu Yi, with a slightly fake smile still on his face. It was really hard to guess what he was thinking at this time, but the sharp feeling was
This made Qu Yi feel very uncomfortable.
"My lord already knew about the previous battle. Although there were some problems, he finally didn't cause any trouble, so my lord meant not to deal with this battle for the time being and leave it to be summarized after the war. Therefore, General Qu still serves as the general of Sizhou.
But in view of his physical discomfort, General Guan and General Ma please be careful until General Qu recovers."
"...Thank you, Lord, for your kindness."
Although Qu Yi was hurt all over, he still knelt down to the ground facing the north with the support of his own soldiers - even though Li Shushi let Qu Yi go for unknown reasons, it seemed that he was a little arrogant. But for Qu Yi himself,
But it’s also a great trust
.As for the issue of whether Guan Hai and Ma Teng decentralize power, given Qu Yi's current physical condition, it is obvious that he will not be able to do anything else except use his brain to think for a considerable period of time. Even without Li Shushi's order, in fact he would not be able to do anything else.
This is the only way to act.
Of course, if Qu Yi has not calmed down during this period and continues to seek death, then after several crimes are punished together, no matter how severe Li Shushi's punishment is, it will still be acceptable to Youyou.
"The other thing is to correct me. Together with General Cao and General Gan, we will take our troops to Hedong and put them under the control of General Huang. At the same time, we will order the Sizhou Army to closely monitor the movements in all directions to prevent chaos."
Having said this, the fake smile originally hanging on Fazheng's face disappeared and was replaced by incomparable seriousness and solemnity.
"In addition, there is still a part of this order that has not been written down. It was conveyed orally by the lord's bodyguard. The main content is roughly that the officials responsible for managing astronomy in Bingzhou Official School, Sima Zhongda, Ju Gong, and others have recently reported to them about the astronomical phenomena.
There has been a change. Although the message conveyed by the Lord is somewhat unclear, and the specific situation cannot be known, I am reminding you. It is better to be careful."
"I will live up to my lord's trust."
Well, the tears on Qu Yi's face haven't been wiped clean yet.
"In short, these are the things. Although a defeat is indeed very unpleasant, in the words of the Lord, it is 'a blessing in disguise'. Perhaps such a defeat will bring us unexpected gains."
uncertain."
Seeing several people in the room looking confused, Fazheng shook his head casually.
"Okay, this kind of thing is not something we need to worry about. In addition, the Lord said in the order that everyone has worked hard recently, so I sent you some condolences. I hope everyone can forget this failure and strive to win the next battle.
to regain dignity."
"oh!"
Although we are in the army and in wartime, it is naturally impossible to bring good wine for everyone to enjoy, but several generals are not short of this, so having a good attitude is even more precious. As for the soldiers
, those consolation gifts are enough for them to sweep away the decadence of previous defeats, and then enthusiastically devote themselves to new training and daily tasks.
Suddenly, I feel that ordinary soldiers are like a group of hard-working ordinary players, with poor equipment and abilities that are not as good as those of high-level players. But as long as they are given some benefits, they will enthusiastically devote themselves to a new round of various tasks and battles.
Although the most deceiving part of this game in the real world is that everyone only has one life, and once it is used, it is gone and cannot be recovered.
Compared with the Bingzhou Army, although they lost the battle, their morale has been restored. Several generals, except for Qu Yi, who was seriously injured, have been put into work. The difference is that Yuan Shao's troops stayed at the Liyang camp.
The atmosphere was very strange.
"Mr. Coach, how should we write this battle report?"
"Haha, is there anyone else here? Second brother, please don't be so quarrelsome. We are brothers. This time my father asked us to share his worries. It is time for us to work together to let his father know that the son he is proud of has already passed away.
grow up."
"He is worthy of being the most beloved Xianfu of his father. He has truly inherited his father's abilities, which is very enviable."
"Haha. Brother Xianyi is not bad either. His performance in this battle was quite impressive."
"But……"
As soon as the previous battle was mentioned, the original smile on Yuan Xi's face disappeared, and was replaced by deep uneasiness.
"What's wrong? Brother Xianyi?"
"No, I just feel that my father, hey. Although the son didn't say anything about his father's fault, his father was really, really rash this time!"
"Brother Xianyi, why do you say that? Isn't it because of the strategies left behind by my father that the people of Bingzhou suffered a great loss?"
"Hey, Xianfu, you are still young and don't know the huge danger contained in this..."
"Ah, I know, I know. Isn't it the concubine that Brother Xianyi is talking about? Although he is a gloomy guy who is hard to like at first glance, but I have to say that he does have some abilities, maybe not
It is easy to control, but I believe he will be able to contribute his own strength to the future of our Yuan family."
"No, that's not the case. That's not the case at all."
"Why did the second brother say that? Can that person betray his own surname?"
"No, although I think he is the most dangerous existence, I also believe that he will not betray his surname."
"Then why does the second brother seem so disgusted...or afraid of him?"
"...Because he is a bastard. And he is a wild child that his father didn't know he had with that wild woman. Normally, I wouldn't mind fighting for my father's great cause with relatives who share the same blood. But that person is different.
.I can feel that the man’s eyes looking at his father are full of resentment.
.If he was a person without talent, it would not make people worry. But he has talents that scare me, and he also has terrible ambitions. If the leadership of the Yuan family falls into the hands of that man, what will happen to the world?
I don’t know what impact it will have. But for me, Mr. Yuan, it will only be a disaster!"
"That's not okay, second brother. First of all, although that man has some abilities, I also admit that his idea of flooding the wheat fields was a good one. It was the key to limiting the impact of the enemy's cavalry in that battle. But except for
In addition, that person has not shown the ability to make you, second brother, so flustered. Even if he knows some evil methods, but with similar talents, I, the Yuan family, just need to wave my hand, and naturally many people will come forward happily.
to take effect.
In addition, the second brother must also have confidence in your younger brother, and you must also have confidence in your father. Since my father has appointed me as the head coach of Liyang Camp, it means that my father thinks that I have the ability to manage everything here -
- Of course, this also requires your support, second brother, but even if that person has some abilities, with everyone's help, I don't think he can come up with any tricks here, otherwise I, as the younger brother, will not let that concubine out.
The guy knows the difference between superiority and inferiority."
Looking at the confident younger brother in front of him, Yuan Xi hesitated again and again but did not say anything more. Although he was not a very smart person, he also knew that if he continued to speak, not only would it not have the desired effect,
On the contrary, it will make his younger brother feel that he, as the elder brother, doubts his ability and does not trust his leadership. Perhaps, he will also further doubt whether he also has the intention to compete for that position. After all, from a legal point of view, Yuan Xi
The chances are the same as those of Yuan Shang.
However, he didn't know whether it was instinct calling or a bad natural compatibility. Anyway, Yuan Xi felt that Yuan Fang was very dangerous and suspicious, even though he had made a lot of contributions to the Yuan family and had behaved calmly in these years.
Nothing could dispel Yuan Xi's suspicion.
Especially this time the opponent's performance in the battle intensified Yuan Xi's thoughts.
Although this battle was basically commanded by Yuan Shang, it seems that Yuan Fang was just putting forward a very crucial proposal as Yuan Shang said, to give the cavalry of the Sizhou Army of the Bingzhou Army the most lethal blow to the trap.
A single blow, but from the entire battle, there was nothing worthy of praise.
However, Yuan Xi, who had suspected Yuan Fang from the beginning and sent people to keep an eye on Yuan Fang, knew very well what that man had done behind the scenes - many decisions made by Yuan Shang had passed through Yuan Fang's hands.
, with slight modifications, on the surface it seems that there is not much difference from before, but it is this subtle difference that makes the enemy have no choice but to act according to the Jizhou Army's ideas, and eventually fall into the trap that has been prepared.
among.
Of course, these were only realized after Yuan Xi reviewed the military situation on that day afterwards.
Yuan Fang's actions were not big, and the means of communicating with the generals were also very secretive. If Yuan Xi hadn't focused all his attention on him, he might not have discovered the secrets involved. In fact, even so, Yuan Xi could discover it.
The clues are also very limited, but he deeply hates Yuan Fang, so he made up a lot of things on his own after getting the information.
Naturally, this imaginary thing cannot be put in front of Yuan Shang as evidence, otherwise how could Yuan Xi be able to rationalize Qu Ciqiong. However, because of this series of imaginary things, Yuan Xi's prejudice against Yuan Fang has naturally become more and more serious.
But considering that the relationship between the two people is already bad enough, it doesn't hurt to add a little more.
Just like a rabbit country and a two-headed eagle country must dislike each other, but due to the situation, the most they can do is greet each other through various overt and covert means, but it is impossible to really start a war.
.
After all, such consequences would be unbearable for either party. (To be continued...)
