Zhao Yun and Gao Lan had question marks on their faces.
"If the war goes unfavorably, I don't have to give up the two thousand cavalry, but the military advisor must bring them back to me intact. In critical moments, you don't have to listen to military orders, and you have to come back even if they are tied up~"
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Zhao Yun and Gao Lan were already dumbfounded. On the one hand, they made themselves obey Ju Shuo's command in everything, and on the other hand, they allowed themselves to disobey military orders.
"The talent of a military advisor is as great as the vastness of the world, and a mere grassland is just a way to kill a chicken with a bull's knife. But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst."
If there is a threat to the safety of the military division, there is no need to worry about anything. If the soldiers and horses are gone, I can recruit them. If the equipment is lost, I can buy it again. But if the people are gone, it will be too late~"
Although Yuan Shu was talking about Ju Shou, what he was thinking about was Pang Tong, who was known as Feng Chu. Logically speaking, it was actually easy for him to defeat Feng Po. Wasn't it because he was carelessly shot to death on Luo Feng Po?
If Jushou died on the grassland, he would not be able to bear such a blow.
"Don't worry, my lord, as long as I, Zhao Yun, am here, I will definitely give you an unscathed military advisor~"
"Don't worry, my lord, Gao Lan will definitely live up to your trust."
Feeling the importance Yuan Shu attached to Jushu, although Zhao Yun and Gao Lan felt a little sad, they both knew the role Jushu had on Yuan Shu.
If Tian Feng and Jushu hadn't planned this time, there's no telling what the battle at Panshe Ridge would have been like. To defeat fifteen thousand Xianbei cavalry, judging from Changshan County's current strength, would have been even harder than climbing to the sky.
"Okay, now that you understand, I won't say more. I can only wish you prosperity in martial arts and a triumphant return~"
"Thank you, Lord~"
"Thank you, Lord~"
Yuan Mansion
Yuan Feng held Yuan Shu's battle report in his hand, with some tears bursting from his eyes.
"Father, what's wrong with you? Could it be that something happened to him on the highway?"
Yuan Ji glanced at Yuan Feng and felt a tremor in his heart.
"The highway has done another big thing this time. As a father, I cried with joy~"
After saying this, Yuan Feng handed the letter in his hand to Yuan Ji.
Yuan Ji took Yuan Shu's battle report and began to read it quickly.
"Father, the road is so big that the Xianbei people can't be beaten? Or is it the scale of fifteen thousand riders?"
Looking at Yuan Shu's battle report, Yuan Ji somewhat didn't believe it.
Yuan Shu is his younger brother, and you know best what he is like. You said that he relied on the close cavalry provided by the Yuan government to bully the Yellow Turbans, and fight bandits. But facing fifteen thousand Xianbei cavalry,
They can all win in one battle? Is this true?
"Shi Ji, although the road is stubborn, he is now a feudal official and the head of a county. How could he make fun of such a thing? As an elder brother, you should be careful in your words and actions, think carefully, and don't jump to random conclusions~"
Hearing Yuan Ji's words, Yuan Feng's face suddenly changed color. Yuan Ji is the eldest son of the Yuan family, but he is a master who has more than enough skills to make progress. Yuan Shaoxiong is talented but has never been a direct descendant. Now Yuan Shu suddenly seems to have cheated. He is very happy.
It was too late, how could Yuan Ji be allowed to slander Yuan Shu?
"Father taught you right, Shiji has learned~"
Sensing Yuan Feng's anger, Yuan Ji quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake. His father would be killed if he got angry. Since you think Yuan Shu didn't lie, then just treat him as the truth.
"Well, that's good~"
Hearing Yuan Ji admit his mistake, Yuan Feng's expression changed a little.
"Father, this great victory on the highway was not allowed to be reported to the court. Why?"
Yuan Ji's words made Yuan Feng stunned for a moment, but after all, he had been in the court for decades, and he probably understood it after a little thought.
"Shiji, you have to know that I, the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family, am the most noble person in the world, and I have gained the title of Marquis, which is unparalleled. What will be the consequences if I report my military exploits now?"
After hearing this, a sentence from Zhuangzi suddenly appeared in Yuan's mind.
"The straight trees are cut down first, and the sweet wells are exhausted first~"
"That's right~ That's it. The roads are so good. It would be fine if he was born in an ordinary family. But he is a descendant of my Yuan family, so this military exploit can only be staked with me, and I can't go to heaven to hear it~"
"Then what is father going to do next? Although the road has a great victory over the Xianbei people this time, it has suffered a considerable loss in its own strength. Do you need me to recruit my third uncle to discuss it?"
Yuan Feng shook his head, took Yuan Shu's battle report back and threw it into the brazier.
"Father?"
Looking at the letter that was reduced to ashes, a trace of doubt flashed in Yuan Ji's eyes.
"The road is too sharp right now. What he needs is a hidden edge. It's good for you to know some things and for me to know them. It's better not to say anything about Ciyang yet~"
"What should we do with the money, food and goods needed for the highway?"
Although Yuan Ji thinks what Yuan Feng said makes sense, it is not easy to use the assets of the Yuan family. It requires the consent of both masters, Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei. It is very difficult for Yuan Feng alone.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Feng directly threw a gold lock into Yuan Ji's hand.
"I will repair a book, and then you take this lock and go to Dongsheng Building to find Shopkeeper Lin. He will naturally know how to do the rest~"
Yuan Ji looked at the golden lock in his hand and couldn't help but shrink in his eyes.
If you don't go through Yuan Wei, this must be your father's private house. Highway, highway, you have to be brave~
"Go ahead~ Remember, don't let others know~"
"Father, don't worry, Shiji knows~"
After Yuan Ji finished speaking, he saluted again, walked backwards out of the house, then hailed the sedan chair and ran directly to Dongsheng Tower.
Dongshenglou is not a famous restaurant in Luoyang city. No one from the upper class comes, but it is still crowded and overcrowded.
Yuan Ji looked at the crowd in front of him and frowned. This was no place to talk. Thinking of this, he inadvertently missed the golden lock given by Yuan Feng.
The shopkeeper was also sharp-eyed. He saw the object in Yuan Ji's hand at a glance and ran out quickly.
"This young man is quite impressive~ It's your first time here~"
Looking at the attentive shopkeeper, Yuan Ji knew that this guy must have seen the golden lock.
"Well, prepare a private room for me, I want to eat~"
"Okay, let's wait in the sky-sized room~"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he led the way in front of Yuan Ji.
"Crunch~"
As soon as the door of Tianzihao's elegant room was closed, the shopkeeper suddenly knelt in front of Yuan Ji.
"Slave Lin Fu comes to meet the young master~"
The shopkeeper's surname is Lin Dan, whose name is "Fu". He is a Renxia whom Yuan Feng rescued when he was young. Since then, he has become Yuan Feng's confidant, specializing in helping Yuan Feng manage his private power outside the Yuan family.
"Lin Fu, right? This is my father's handwriting~"
Yuan Ji didn't hesitate and handed Yuan Feng's handwriting directly to Lin Fu.
After reading Yuan Feng's handwriting, Lin Fu couldn't help but frown.
"Two hundred thousand taels of gold, two hundred thousand taels of silver, one hundred thousand dan of grain and grass, and three thousand elite soldiers. What does the master want to do?"
