Chapter 2 It is difficult to win the will of the Three Armies
At the end of autumn, the wind is clear, the clouds are high and the air is crisp. When it is almost cold but not yet cold, the wild geese are about to fly south.
General Wei Gongsun led a hundred thousand people to Handan City, but he did not enter this city that he was very familiar with throughout the whole process. He only stationed himself in the camp south of the city where Yuan Jun had hurriedly left.
Within three days, he did not make any unnecessary moves, did not think of any clever strategies, and did not suddenly decide on any fate. Even several military advisers led many generals, staff, and military officials in the army to discuss the matter.
He didn’t get too involved in the formation of troops... Two hundred thousand troops from both sides were gathered between two cities that were only thirty miles apart. What kind of cunning strategy could be done in seconds? What space and time were there to go?
Giving?
In a sense, a war of this scale becomes less and less worth mentioning the closer it gets to the battle... But when it comes to the final stage, it's like throwing a dice, and whatever happens is what happens.
At this time, just like when both parties held the dice in their hands, they were going to throw it out anyway, so why bother covering their sweaty hands?
In fact, Gongsun just visited the military camp these days and chatted with various people to exchange trivial matters.
For example, for the new recruits from various counties in Youzhou, Gongsun would ask them about their specific place of origin and talk about the customs of their hometown; another example would be the former Yicon who left Baima Yicong, entered the army, and became officers in the division, and asked them if they had ever married, and if so,
The war in Japan has subsided, what are the plans for the future? Also like Shen Pei, Dong Zhao, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Pan Zhang, Guo Jia, and even Handan's local in-laws Qin family, Wei Song who has been teaching in the city during the siege, these have been around for a long time
He also used every opportunity to specially summon people he had never met or met for the first time, but he did not talk about official matters. Instead, he only chatted about daily life, and presented some weapons, books, war horses and other personal belongings...
At noon on the last day, that is, the day before the decisive battle, when Yuan Shao sent an envoy Shi Yi to visit and give gifts, he simply found him in the accompanying camp. At that time, General Wei was in the camp that Dong Zhao had brought.
In the companion camp, who was dismissed as a companion by the entire army because of his defeat, he had a meal with the clan traitors who had rebelled against him in the south of Julu County in the past... lunch, a meal of wine and meat shared by the entire army before the war.
In other words, Shiyi's trip was actually just a routine matter to satisfy Yuan Benchu's spiritual needs. He had no other intention. After he sent a gift and reiterated the agreement to fight the next day, he ate a bowl of mutton stuffed dumplings here, and then
Then he said goodbye and returned to Liangqi City in the evening.
everything goes well.
However, when he finished reporting to Yuan Shao and Chen Gong, returned to his residence, and was about to go to bed, another colleague hurriedly visited, forcing him to fight back his exhaustion and get up to deal with it... because there was someone coming.
It's Xi Liu.
Xi Yu was a disciple of Zheng Xuan. After Cui Yan left Yuan Shao's side and became the Prime Minister of Pingyuan, he became the leader of Zheng's disciples. In addition, Wu Anguo of Beihai suddenly died on the battlefield inexplicably, so there was a conspiracy.
Due to a mistake, this person unexpectedly became a representative figure of the Qingzhou faction beside Yuan Shao.
Of course, Qingzhou was annexed by force. In Yuan Shao's case, it was not as valued as Yanzhou as the foundation, nor as favored as the counties in Hebei because they were directly at the front line. In addition, although Qingzhou has six counties, it is not as important as Yanzhou.
Because the largest plain county is located in Hebei, it is treated separately, so it inevitably appears weak... The so-called Qingzhou faction is more like a vassal of the Yanzhou faction to Yuan Shao.
However, one characteristic of these people in Qingzhou is that because many local generals need to stay in the area to manage the farming affairs of the Yellow Turbans and deal with the Taishan bandits who cannot be wiped out no matter how hard they are, there are relatively few generals gathered around Yuan Shao. Mainly
They were some civil servants and staff. However, these civil servants and staff were often related to Zheng Xuanneng because of the trend of the times, so they had a close relationship with the top, bottom, left, and right, and they could be considered to have some footing.
And this is the reason why Xi Lu boldly came to look for Shiyi this time.
"Since Ziyu has seen it with his own eyes, how dare he ask who General Wei is?" The two sat down in the back hall, and Xi Lu got straight to the point. "What do you think about tomorrow's victory or defeat?"
"Winning or losing depends on the next scholar who doesn't know how to fight." Shi Yi thought about it for a moment, but he didn't hide it. "However, when I saw him today, I really felt that General Wei had extraordinary bearing and was a man who could achieve great things...
"
Xi Lu was startled for a moment, and then he hurriedly asked again, "Why is Ziyu so extraordinary? Why don't you tell me in detail?"
"Brother Yu has invited you." Shi Yi still didn't mean to cover up at all, but said a small matter. "Today when I went down to Handan City, I happened to encounter the Northern Army killing pigs and sheep. I wanted to have a meal before the battle.
As an envoy, I ate the meal with General Wei in the accompanying camp..."
"This can be called eating with Ziyu." Xi Lu frowned slightly. "But to be honest with Ziyu, today our entire army also had meat meals for lunch, and our Yuan Cheqi also ate with the tiger guards around us.
, it’s just that I didn’t go to any companion camp... And I think that companions are not the main force in the battle, but criminals. Sharing food with them is not as good as sharing food with ordinary soldiers to win the hearts of the people!"
"I thought so at the beginning." Shiyi sighed slightly. "But something happened during the dinner, which made me suddenly realize..."
"Ziyu, please speak."
"It's like this. Halfway through eating, General Wei was suddenly hit in the tooth by a foreign object in the dumpling. He was bleeding from the mouth for a while. Naturally, he was furious. He immediately summoned the cooks from the camp and scolded him in public.
, saying that the other party actually didn’t bother to prepare the food because it was for the servants to eat, so that the extra meal before the war was mixed with sand and gravel, and at that time he wanted to behead the cook to show the public." Shi Yi said with emotion. "And.
The cook knelt down to plead guilty and swore to God that making dumplings required chopping the fillings, and gravel would hurt the knife, so he would not be so stupid as to mix gravel into the filling. After hearing this, General Wei
After personally inspecting the blood stained by his vomiting, he discovered that it was just a sheep bone, not sand and gravel... So he apologized to the cook again, rewarded him with some money, and sat back to continue eating."
Xi Lu was a little confused: "I won't hide it from Ziyu, I vaguely feel that there is something to say about this matter, but I can't figure it out for the moment. Please explain it clearly."
"I only figured it out on the way back." Shi Yi replied seriously. "The reason why General Wei ate in the companion camp is because the companions are the lowest people in the army. If you don't even have their food, you will have to eat with them."
If the food consumption of the entire army can be guaranteed to be unimpeded, then the expenses of the entire army will naturally be unimpeded. In other words, General Wei is using this to check the food consumption of the entire army, not to win some hearts in front of him...Brother Yu, think about it,
How many people can a hundred thousand soldiers buy their hearts and minds with just one meal before a battle? Rather than acting like this, it is better to examine the system that is established in daily life and try to make the whole army less worried."
Xi Lu suddenly realized.
"It's not just that." Shiyi continued. "Since General Wei found out that he had made a mistake, he immediately apologized to a cook. According to my observation, the man was really ashamed at that moment and was not deliberately showing off.
A cook can be so sincere, let alone others. After this incident, I finally understood why people like Zhang Yide had to turn around and help him even though they were thousands of miles away. I also understood why Shen Zhengnan and Guan Yunchang were abandoned by him.
After so many years, he is still loyal, and I understand better why no one in the army who was General Wei's old corps is willing to speak ill of him... So Brother Yu, General Wei can indeed win people, gather people, and even use people.
, what I said is extraordinary and is absolutely not false.”
Xi Liu nodded slowly, but couldn't help but shake his head: "I already know General Wei's demeanor, and I don't hide it from Ziyu. I am here today not just to inquire about this matter, but also because you are not here today. There is something
You don’t know the matter yet, so I came here to tell you..."
"Brother Yu speaks frankly."
"Today at noon, when we Yuan Cheqi went to Huwei to eat, Chen Changshi held a meeting with the generals in the Chinese army's tent. Then Xu Ziyuan suddenly came out and scolded me and everyone else in public..."
"What did he curse?"
"Criticizing those military generals as tyrants who ruined the people, all of them should be regarded as barbarians according to the law; and scolding us scribes as incompetent people who monopolize official careers by virtue of their birth, and I don't know how many corrupt scholars who have no understanding of things are mixed in.
I don’t know how many ridiculous villains are hidden... Someone wanted to refute, but he kicked the chief executive, pulled out a knife in front of everyone, and questioned us, saying that the world has collapsed, isn’t it the work of us people? How come there are still
Are you pretending to be here?"
"..."
"What do Ziyu think?" Xi Liu didn't have time to ask.
"This is not a scolding, this is a morale booster... This is someone playing the role of General Wei, imitating the words of Weiyang Palace, reminding us that in the eyes of General Wei, we are all sinners, and none of us can be General Wei.
We are not allowed to use it half-heartedly." Shiyi replied directly without thinking.
"That's right!" Xi Lu sighed. "Peng Zhizhang and I discussed this in the afternoon and both felt that this was what it meant. And now, it is indeed as Xu Ziyuan reminded us. Our position has been established and there is no room for improvement.
Having said that, now all we have to do is work hard."
"It's just..." Shiyi suddenly looked confused again and shook his head. "Why did Xu Ziyuan do this? Although he is arrogant and rude, he is a real villain. He only seeks profit and has no desire for power or responsibility.
What he meant was that although today's incident reminded everyone not to be half-hearted, it also offended everyone above and below! In addition, when he reminded the troops to withdraw, he actually mocked Yuan Che in public on the general platform at the foot of Handan City.
There is no distinction between light and heavy riding, strong on the outside but timid on the inside, more planning and less decisive... Why is this necessary? With his intelligence, doesn't he know that if the situation is solved in the future, no matter he wins or loses, he will be evil both above and below.
Judging from the overall situation, will everyone use him as a target?"
"I don't know." Xi Lu said with a wry smile. "Some people say that he is too proud of himself because he was the first to follow Yuan Chaqi and was recognized by the world as Yuan's running friend and confidant from the beginning..."
"It's possible, but not necessarily. Zhang Miao and Bao Xin are both Yuan Cheqi's old friends. Liu Chong and Zang Hong are Yuan Cheqi's former confidants. What are they like now? Didn't Xu Ziyuan see the fate of these four people with his own eyes? When
There are some people who he personally took care of. Even Cao Mengde, a young prince of Yuan Gong, once became a prince, he also swayed among the three families." Shi Yi obviously disagreed.
"Then there is only one explanation." Xi Liu continued with a smile. "I heard that Xu Ziyuan made tens of millions in Julu this time, but before he could transport them across the Zhang River, they were all intercepted by Zhang Yide on the river bank... So Li Ling lost his mind.
."
"I'd rather believe this!" Shi Yi couldn't help but laugh, but stopped abruptly. "In troubled times, it's not easy. When we were in Qingzhou, we saw with our own eyes the fall of the prefecture and county, from two thousand stones to the poor.
The people are all in danger, and now we are in the middle of the overall situation of the world, who have the right to laugh at others?!"
Xi Lu also looked solemn for a moment, but then stood up helplessly: "Well, Ziyu has a rest for a while. No one can escape in the big battle tomorrow. You and I are the military counselors, so we are going to accompany you...be sure to take care!"
"Brother Yu, please take care." Shiyi immediately put aside all his thoughts and stood up to salute him.
Not to mention how people's hearts are secretly moving below, but the overall situation is like a wheel that can't be stopped.
The next morning, when the sky was dark, the city inside and outside Handan City and the city of Liang Dynasty were already busy. It was not a simple matter to send out a hundred thousand troops at once... In a sense, Gongsun used the method he used to deceive those people.
A certain sophistry is reasonable. When the number of troops in a local area reaches a certain level, the cost of management and operations really becomes more and more difficult to justify as the number of people increases.
However, fortunately, this is not the first time that Yuan Benchu has controlled such a large number of people. It is only the first time that he has allowed 100,000 people to act together. And Gongsun has a rich military career. He has often deployed 50,000 to 60,000 people before, so both sides
Surprisingly, there wasn't any big trouble.
But even so, by the time the sentries on both sides stopped chasing, and the armies of both sides were harvesting crops to the beat of drums, and had completed their formations two hundred paces apart on the endless North China Plain, it was still noon.
The sun above the head is not blazing, and even the clouds are light and the wind is light, but everyone is a little nervous... The endless military formation, the flags in the sky, the neighing of war horses, the life and death of 200,000 people, the fate of tens of millions of people,
They will all be decided in the cruelest yet most helpless way... Veterans also have a desire to fight, let alone new recruits?
In fact, not to mention the soldiers, many generals and officers who prided themselves on their bravery before the war; counselors and soldiers who prided themselves on their intelligence, now looked at such a formation, but they were also horrified.
This kind of horror is easy to understand, because everyone suddenly wakes up. In such a majestic formation, among the magnificent military forces, once a war starts, everyone's fate will not be controlled by themselves... No matter whether you are a person with a body of two thousand stones or a
The lowest servant in the army, it doesn't matter whether you are a universally recognized general or an auxiliary who has just learned how to draw a bow.
In front of the forest spear formation, the mud and sand are falling together!
While the cavalry was galloping, both jade and stone were destroyed!
Under the simultaneous firing of thousands of arrows, all living beings are equal!
Between landslides and ground cracks, everything stops!
Even Gongsun and Yuan Benchu, two people who stood up to the times, once they ordered a war, their own destiny would be greatly affected by the war, but they themselves could not really control the war situation.
"A few months ago, General Chariot and Cavalry issued a proclamation against General Wei. General Wei sent a letter to the emperor to plead guilty. Both of them are well-known. Three days ago, General Wei issued a letter of war and suggested that both armies rescue the dead and wounded. General Chariot and Cavalry
We are ready to fight, and we are also allowed to gather the bones of the soldiers. Yesterday, General Chariot and Cavalry paid tribute to General Wei, and General Wei also returned the greeting... At this point, the two men have shown great etiquette, which can be regarded as an example. I am here to mediate according to the emperor's wishes, and I also invite you two
Let's meet face to face again today to perform the ceremony of seeing a master, think about the pain of war, and correct the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn Period!"
The person who came out to speak in front of the formation of the two armies was the envoy of the Emperor, Wang Lang and Wang Jingxing, who had received the signal. What he meant was that since both Gongsun and Yuan Shao were so noble before, then according to the war etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period, after a while before the final formation,
It is only reasonable and reasonable for each other to inspect each other's military formations and make a last-ditch effort for peace verbally. If fighting is no longer possible, it is reasonable.
But as soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the formations of both armies.
"General, is this what you mean?" Tian Feng looked blankly at Gongsun, who was wearing steel armor and a black robe under the umbrella in the middle of the army. "Didn't you say that we would only meet in front of the formation to talk and release Wen Chou to demoralize the opponent?
?Where did these false etiquette come from?”
"That's not what I meant." Gongsun said unconcernedly. "It's just that some people in the court were restless and gave Wang Jingxing more information before leaving to give the little emperor some sense of presence... However, I knew it in advance.
And I feel that if we can observe etiquette, it will be a good thing after all, and it can also stop the increasingly careless trend nowadays."
"If Wang Jingxing was shot to death by an arrow, people in the world might think that Duke Ming was as ridiculous as Duke Xianggang of Song Dynasty!" Tian Feng was speechless. "We must know that soldiers are treacherous, why should they be like this?"
"It depends on the person!" Gongsun shook his head. "If there were Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande, and Sun Wentai in front of me, how could I be so indulgent? I would have already killed them with my troops! In fact, if it were those people, it is hard to say whether this military formation could be established...
…But since it’s Yuan Benzhu in front of him, there are still some advantages.”
"Is good face also an advantage?" Tian Feng was almost furious.
"It's the style of an aristocrat." Gongsun smiled and corrected himself when he saw this.
Sure enough, when Yuan Jun saw the emperor's envoy in the formation opposite and heard these words, he also made a slight commotion. Suddenly, a few cavalry came out first. It was Junjun who was the envoy yesterday. He was Yi Ziyu. He was in front of Wang Jingxing's formation.
After discussing the conditions with each other, Yuan Shao, who was wearing golden armor and a red roe deer, stood on a four-horse drum chariot behind dozens of knights.
Surrounded by the crowd, Gongsun took the lead to set off. Gongsun did not hesitate, and immediately led Pound and dozens of followers on white horses, plus Wen Chou, who was fully armored but tied up, and went straight forward.
Wang Lang stood in the middle of the court, and Shi Yi retreated behind him. After Gongsun and Yuan Shao met each other, they circled half a circle around Wang Lang, and each stood in the other side's half. Just then, the carriages and horses met, and they stopped to chat...
...This is the so-called ceremony of inspecting the division, which is to review each other's military formation, but it is more to express trust in the other side.
"Wen Qi, are our soldiers and horses still strong?" Yuan Shaogang actually saw Wen Chou as soon as they met. Although he was startled and his face immediately darkened, he still regained his composure after turning half a circle and smiled at each other.
"That's right, but it's a pity that there are too few cavalry." Gongsun smiled and gestured to Pound to let go of Wen Chou.
"It's been several years since we said goodbye to Meng Jin in the past." Yuan Shao glanced at Wen Chou, who was taken over by his own knight, but quickly changed the subject. "It's emotional to think about it... When we said goodbye that day, you and I were cutting bottles and drinking.
, the comrade who made an appointment to eradicate the eunuchs, but today we meet again on the battlefield! Moreover, Brother Yu is not talented, and he also fulfilled the contract to eradicate the eunuchs, but Wen Qi actually fell to the level of a thief who stole the country. Brother Yu, I feel sorry for you.
!”
Gongsun, who was riding on the white horse, looked at Yuan Shao on the drum cart with a smile: "Brother Benchu did a good job in killing the eunuchs. Not only did he kill all the eunuchs, he also lost the jade seal that passed down the country, and he also invited
Dong Zhuo, who deposed the emperor, poisoned the empress dowager, and became the young emperor, finally turned into a thief who stole the country after working hard to defeat Dong Gongsheng... At this point, what is the meaning of these verbal disputes? You have all kinds of words, but I don't mean a word.
We can destroy the thieves by following the emperor's edict, but when the emperor's envoys come here, I am not on good terms with you... Why bother? To be honest, if you are halfway through the attack on Dong, it doesn't matter if you turn around and grab the territory. It is a public conscience.
Or is it selfish?"
Yuan Shao also lowered his head and smiled: "As soon as Dong Zhuo entered Luo, Wen Qi couldn't wait to gather the soldiers and horses of the ten counties in the north. Is it really fair to deal with it calmly? Anyway, as you said, today you and I are meeting each other after several years.
I should say this... It's just Wenqi, you cut a bottle and gave me wine that day to support me in the overall situation of Luozhong. Today I also cut a bottle and gave you wine, but I only have one question... are you willing to accept it? "
As he said that, the man actually took out a bottle of wine from the car, and then, amidst the fright of the surrounding soldiers, he smashed the mouth of the bottle with a knife and handed it over.
Gongsun smiled and said nothing, took it, raised his head and drank a sip, then threw it directly on the ground: "Brother Benchu, please ask me!"
"Wen Qi, I have never understood why you, a descendant of the Bianjun family, who is not a direct descendant and who is still so young, have the ambition to conquer the world so early?" Yuan Shaosurong faced him. "The so-called Bianjun martial artist,
Mostly ambitions grew after the collapse of the times, and I realized when Meng Jin said goodbye that day that you had huge ambitions at least at that time... And in the past few years, you have become bigger and bigger, but I can't think of it.
The explanation, why, can you tell me directly?"
"This is easy! Because I am not worthy of the world! I am not worthy of the people of the world!" Gongsun's chuckle gradually turned into a sneer, and then suddenly changed his color. He raised his hand and pointed directly at the opponent's door, sternly facing him. "If I don't fight, won't I have to fight?"
Give up this world to a ridiculous and shameful person like you! If I don't fight, wouldn't I have to sit back and watch the world fall into chaos, fight for decades, lose people's hearts, and lose moral control! Yuan Benchu, today you and I can be polite to each other.
Salute, do you know how rare it is?! If I hadn’t fought for it, there would be no moral integrity left in this world, and it would have been ruined by you long ago!”
Yuan Shao was furious: "If this is your reply, I, Yuan Shao, also have something to say... If you go to Chang'an first to challenge Dong Gongcheng, the world is already in your hands, but I can defeat three states and nineteen counties in one year, not for others."
Yes, it is precisely because the people in the world are dissatisfied with you that they have joined me one after another! You said that the world is not worth my time, but you don’t know that the people in the world are not worth your time either! The hundred thousand troops behind me are proof!"
"Then let's prove it to each other!" Gongsun didn't even look back, but reined in his horse and turned around. "It's just Brother Benchu, do you really think I don't know that you are someone who is not worthy of me? It's up to Brother Benchu to stand up for me.
Come together!”
Yuan Shao hesitated for a moment, then simply signaled to turn the car around and go back.
But just when the coaches of both sides were not in a hurry and were about ten steps away from each other, someone suddenly interrupted: "After the ceremony of looking at the teacher, it should be the ceremony of paying tribute to the teacher... The last general, Wen Chou, please do the ceremony of paying tribute to the teacher."
present!"
The gift of a master is a duel between warriors in front of the battle... Wen Chou did this as if he wanted to wash away the humiliation of being captured before.
In this regard, Yuan Shao almost did not hesitate, nodded immediately, and handed the bottle-cutting knife in his hand to the guard beside him. After the latter handed over the saber, he dismounted and handed over his horse and spear respectfully.
Wen Chou.
As for Gongsun, he paused slightly under Wang Lang's questioning gaze and immediately nodded: "Wait a moment!"
Pang De, who was following him, felt sad for a moment... Since he was waiting for a moment, he was not here.
Sure enough, Gongsun returned to the military formation and immediately ordered: "The enemy general Wen Chou wants to pay tribute to his master, and calls Zhao Yun, the commander of the Changshan Cavalry Division of the Youzhou Army, to fight!"
This is a strategy for stability. Not to mention Zhao Yun's bravery, the key is that he has long soldiers, short blades, bows and arrows, and has no shortcomings. Although Wen Chou is known as brave, he has been tied up all morning, so what?
Maybe there will be a good state? The key is to prevent the opponent from coming up and fight hard, exchanging lives for lives.
Therefore, Zhao Yun is the best candidate.
After all, the gift of a teacher is also meant to boost morale. Since the two sides have broken down and are about to start a war, this breath of bloody courage still has some effect. You can give it a try, especially when Wen Chou invites him to be a teacher.
to eliminate the negative effects of being captured.
Sure enough, in front of the Ten Thousand Army Formation, Wen Chou and Zhao Yun immediately faced each other with their spears, which immediately caused shock to the soldiers in front of the two armies. And after Wang Lang, as the person officiating, returned to the Gongsun Formation, the middle armies of the two armies were even more shocked.
There was a big drum beating in unison.
Immediately, the two generals raised their spears and charged forward.
Just as Gongsun expected, Wen Chou had the intention of washing away the shame of being captured, so when he came up, he was desperate and not afraid of death. He didn't care about his own vitals and just attacked the opponent. It was a life-threatening style of play. But Zhao Yun
At first, it was just a block when the spear was slashing, and a dodge when the spear was thrust. After dozens of rounds passed, the two sides were indifferent to the outcome.
But soon, Wen Chou, who had been tied up for a whole day, gradually became disorganized due to being unable to attack for a long time. Zhao Yun could see clearly and used a weak point to lure the opponent to stab with a spear. Then he ducked sideways and suddenly pulled out the spear.
He drew the first sword from the middle of the waist and struck hard, knocking the opponent's spear to the ground.
Wen Chou lost his spear, and immediately lost the advantage of long soldiers. Facing Zhao Yun's spear after spear with ease, he could only draw his sword to parry. After counting the spears, he was anxious and wanted to hit his horse to escape.
, picked up the spear on the ground, but Zhao Yun saw the details and made a clear judgment. The latter saw the right moment and stabbed the general who was Yuan Shao's personal guard in the leg with a spear, and took advantage of the opportunity to use the spear to knock him off his horse.
Pick it up, and then throw it to the ground with all your strength.
The victory has been decided.
But just when Zhao Yun dismounted in public, raised his spear and prepared to kill the opponent amid the urging drumbeats. Wen Chou managed to sit up, his lower body was covered with blood, and he could no longer move, but suddenly he raised his head and laughed.
, then directly raised the only movable arm, and used the bottle-cutting knife that Yuan Shao had just given him to directly slit his own throat in front of the two army formations, within sight of tens of thousands of troops!
Blood gushed out from above and below, and the sound of drums suddenly stopped.
In a moment of silence, Zhao Yun stared at the other party's tragic death with a smile on his face, and actually gave up the plan to cut off the other party's head, then got back on his horse and rode back alone to apologize:
"My subordinates failed to do their best, please forgive me!"
"What's your crime? Taking his head at this time will only arouse the morale of Yuan's army..." Gongsun watched a group of soldiers on the opposite side snatch Wen Chou's body back and send it all the way to Yuan Shao's extremely coquettish tall drum cart.
Shaking his head. "As the saying goes, the three armies can seize the commander, but a single man cannot seize the will! I made a mistake in this matter. An army of 200,000 people fought decisively in the wilderness. With this kind of careful thinking... Zilong will return and prepare to fight!"
As soon as he said this, Zhao Yun naturally turned back to his own troops, and the people around the central army were also awe-inspiring. Even Dong Zhao, who had made the idea before, could not hide his dejected expression for a moment.
At the same time, Yuan Shao, who was on the drum cart in the opposite army, had trembling hands. He leaned over and placed Wen Chou's body on his cart. Half of his body was covered in blood... In other words, the other party was his bodyguard of Yuan Benchu. If it hadn't been for the injury today,
This made Yuan Shao temporarily dissatisfied and accepted the request to go to war. Then General Wen should probably stand on this drum chariot at this time and assist Yuan Shao as the commander of the central army.
But now, a living person, a close military commander who has been with Yuan Shao for who knows how many years, needs to use his own life to make up for the negative impact of his capture just because of the commander's temporary anger. It is also disappointing.
Sad.
And this is war...there are countless casualties. Every dead person has his own relatives and friends, and every injured person has his own journey in life...but he has to fight!
"Send the order!" Yuan Shao tried hard to sort out Wen Chou's remains, but it was difficult to maintain due to the location of the wound and the huge amount of bleeding, so he simply gave up. However, with the help of the surrounding attendants, he broke open the weapon in the opponent's hand.
The sword originally belonged to Yuan Benchu, and he raised the blade and faced it from all sides. "In today's battle, anyone who retreats without orders... The soldiers retreat and kill their commander; the commander retreats and kills his Sima; the Sima retreats and kills the two thousand stones in charge.
"But if the general's subordinates with two thousand stones and chariots and cavalry retreat without permission and capture him here, I will personally chop him with this knife!"
By the end of his words, he was shouting at the top of his lungs: "All the troops move forward, let's start the battle!"
"Let's start the battle!" In the North Army on the opposite side, among the white horses in the forest, after an unknown period of time, Gongsun finally pulled out his broken blade again and pointed at the Yuan Army formation that was shaking in front of him from a distance, but there were only two crisp swords.
Just a word.
After receiving the order, the three armies each beat drums and trumpets and waved flags. Immediately, on the battle line that stretched for more than ten miles, 200,000 troops from both sides actually took the lead in fighting from the vicinity of the Chinese army.
At this moment, the dice has been thrown.
I am the dividing line for starting gambling
"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Taizu of this dynasty attacked Yuan Shao in Handan. During the Liang period, hundreds of thousands of troops each fought in the wilderness of Zhao and Wei. At that time, General Cao Cao and the governor of Hanoi Zhang Yang defeated the Black Mountain bandits and arrived at the banks of the Yellow River.
, met and discussed the war in Hebei. Zhang Yang was puzzled: "Soldiers are deceitful. How can the two of them join hundreds of thousands of people, meet on a date, line up in the field, and salute like a story in the Spring and Autumn Period? You and the two generals both know that,
Hope you can teach me.' Cao laughed and said, 'Every strategy used varies from person to person. The two generals are both human beings, and they also have true temperaments. They coincide with the same temperament, so it is difficult to make a trick.' Yang Fu asked: 'What temperaments do the two generals have?
Is that so?' Cao Zhengse said to him, 'We all pride ourselves on being the best in the world!' Yang laughed and said, 'The word 'er' is not good, and the number is two generals. I don't know what Meng De's temperament is?' Cao laughed and said nothing." "
