Yuan Shao frowned, thought for a while, and then said: "Yuan has heard of these soldiers and horses under the Bingzhou Army. I heard that they are an infantry army, and the leader is a group of soldiers under Lu Bu's command.
The famous general seems to be called something... something..."
"My name is Gao Shun." The pottery merchant reminded Yuan Shaodao kindly.
Yuan Shao turned around and asked everyone: "Have you heard anything about Gao Shun?"
Everyone shook their heads numbly.
Tao Shang coughed lightly and said: "Mr. Yuan, although Gao Shun is not well-known in the Central Plains, he actually has extraordinary talents. Although the trapped troops trained by him only have 700 people,
, but they are rare elites in the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are invincible. Last time at Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was defeated in panic. The person who defended Lu Bu from pursuing the army should be Gao Shun and Zhen camp.
"
Xu Chu, who was behind the pottery merchant, suddenly thought of it when he heard this.
In the battle of Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was defeated in panic. If Gao Shun and his subordinates had not attacked Yuan Yi and others and shocked him, Lu Bu might not have been able to do so smoothly even if he had the red rabbit horse as a life-saving talisman.
He ran into the pass smoothly.
Everyone in the tent couldn't help but show disdain when they heard the potter's praise of an unknown general.
There is an unknown general and an unknown army. If you have time to worry about them, you might as well worry about the Flying Bear Army led by Li Jue.
Tao Shang wanted to speak, but Yuan Shao laughed and said: "Master Tao, there is no need to worry too much. Even though Gao Shun is really capable and is indeed an elite soldier in the camp, according to your opinion, he only has a few hundred men under his command."
People, and they are all foot soldiers, it is impossible to think about it."
Cao Cao obviously didn't agree with Yuan Shao's words, and then said: "Originally, when Brother Tao joined us in the attack on Dong Zhuo, he had far-reaching plans and unique vision. If he was worried about Gao Shunhe being trapped in the camp, I think his opponent must have something to offer.
When dealing with things, you must not be careless at first, it is better to be cautious.”
Yuan Shao blinked and wanted to retort a few words, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that since both Tao Shang and Cao Cao had said so, it would be too arbitrary for him to insist on treating the other party as disdainful, so he relented.
"Since Meng De and Mr. Tao have said so... well, let's just follow what you said. If we encounter this camp in the future, we will inform each other and send out elites to take precautions."
When Yuan Shao finished speaking, he saw a young general stepping out of Yuan Jun's formation.
The general looked to be in his twenties, not much older than Guo Jia, and he looked very handsome and elegant.
But seeing him leaning towards Yuan Shaoshen, he said loudly: "Ming Gong, the Euphorbia warriors trained under the general Mo have been training for a year, and they have begun to show results. Since they are also elite infantry, if they encounter that man who is trapped in the camp,
, the general is willing to fight with Euphorbia and Gao Shun’s trapped camp to see which side is slightly better."
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction and said: "I am very pleased that Jun Yi has such ambitions."
When the pottery merchant heard Yuan Shao's title, he felt slightly excited.
He turned his head and looked the young general up and down for a while, then asked: "Mr. Yuan, who is this general?"
Yuan Shao smiled and introduced to the pottery merchant: "This is Yuan's subordinate, Ningguo Zhonglang General, whose surname is Zhang, whose name is He, and whose courtesy name is Junyi. He is one of the few young talents in Jizhou. Although he is young, he is
When it comes to commanding troops and formations and martial arts and archery, they may not be inferior to Yan Liang or Wen Chou... In terms of age, you are of the same generation."
It turns out that this young and handsome general is Zhang He, one of the five good generals.
"Hello, General Zhang." The pottery merchant greeted Zhang He with a smile.
Zhang He seemed very kind and approachable.
"I have admired the name of Prince Taiping for a long time, and it is like thunder in my ears. Today I am able to pay my respects to him."
The pottery merchant chuckled and asked, "How do you feel? Do you feel so honorable and handsome?"
Zhang He held his breath for a moment and was a little unable to answer.
This Prince Taiping is really very thick-skinned.
"Very handsome, very handsome..." After holding it in for a while, Zhang He hesitated to praise the pottery merchant.
The pottery merchant immediately became happy: "You really know how to talk."
Yuan Shao rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Okay, you two, we have met each other now. The next step is for us to go back to camp and dispatch our troops to Zhongmou County to meet Dong Zhuo. Generals Yu Jin and Gan Ning will lead the crossbow camp and follow Yuan's army.
The army marched, uniformly obeying Qu Yi's dispatch, and Yuan sent two more troops to accompany Meng De and Tao Gongzi's central army as supervisors to convey the general's orders at any time on behalf of Yuan!"
After hearing what Yuan Shao said, the pottery merchant raised his eyebrows slightly.
Cao Cao smiled, but there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Yuan Shao's move was really overbearing.
However, Tao Shang and Cao Cao are both thoughtful and sophisticated people. Even if they are dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's arrangements, they will never contradict or offend him face to face.
At least not now.
"I sincerely follow Duke Yuan's instructions."
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction, suddenly turned his head, and said to the fierce general Jiang Qi: "Yi Qu will lead the troops and horses of our headquarters and march with Meng De."
"promise!"
Yuan Shao looked around, but finally his eyes fell on Zhang He.
"Jun Yi, on behalf of Yuan, please march with Mr. Tao."
"promise."
Yuan Shao nodded with satisfaction and asked the generals: "Do you have anything else to explain about Chen Ming?"
No one said a word.
Yuan Shao waved his sleeves and said: "Since there is no such thing, let's clear up the account!"
…
After everyone said goodbye and left, Yuan Shaoping retreated, leaving behind only a middle-aged general who had just been standing in the last row of the tent, silently observing everyone's movements.
"Zezhu, how do you feel?" Yuan Shao asked the middle-aged man with a smile.
The middle-aged man had no expression on his face, pondered for a while, and said, "What kind of feeling does Duke Ming want to ask about?"
Yuan Shao laughed loudly: "I am engaged in Zezhu in Jizhou. I have overall control over the internal and external affairs. I just say whatever I have. Why do you and I need to test each other?"
After listening to Yuan Shao's words, a smile appeared on Ju Shou's calm face.
Although his smile was very shallow, it was obvious that Jushu was very satisfied and moved by Yuan Shao's unreserved trust in him.
"Ming Gong, Shi Cai has been observing. The generals under Cao Cao and Tao Shang all have a murderous spirit. They are all of extraordinary quality. The talents under the two men are beyond Shi Cai's imagination.
.”
Yuan Shao did not refute when he heard this, but nodded and said: "Yes, the three that the pottery merchant brought aside, the generals under Meng De's command are not ordinary. We can verify them one by one when we confront Dong Zhuo."
Ju Shou continued: "When Duke Ming sent troops to Cao Cao and Tao Shang's army, they all quickly agreed, but Shou Neng could see that they were not willing, and even had some resistance."
Yuan Shao waved his hand casually and said: "Human nature is understandable."
Ju Shou admonished Yuan Shao: "Understanding is understanding, but Ming Gong must always understand his own position. Today's Cao Cao and Tao Shang are different from when they were in Luoyang. At that time, Cao Cao was at the end of the feudal lords, and Tao Shang was at the end of the war. Shang was even more alone. At that time, they were willing to be vassals of Duke Ming because their reputation and status were not secure and they had to rely on Duke Ming for protection."
Yuan Shao frowned when he heard this.
"Go on."
Jushou continued: "But now, Cao Cao has become the lord of a large state, and he has more soldiers and generals than before, and the pottery merchants rely on Xu Zijiang's ten golden comments and the reputation of Prince Taiping, which is also in the limelight. In the battle of Xuwu, Yuan Jiujiu defeated 100,000 men, which would have shocked the south of the Yangtze River. If he inherits Tao Qian's legacy in the future..."
Yuan Shao thought about it carefully for a while and said nonchalantly: "So what? Danyang County, plus Xuzhou, are not in Yuan's eyes. When Yuan returns to Hebei except Dong Zhuo, he will be ready immediately If we capture Bingzhou and Qingzhou, and then destroy Gongsun Zan in the future, Yuan will be the lord of Hebei! Who is our enemy in the world? Cao Mengde and Tao Zidu... do they still dare to rebel against me?"
Jushou patiently said to Yuan Shao: "If this is the case, it would be easy to say... But the question is, can't Duke Ming see the relationship between Cao Cao and the pottery merchant?"
Yuan Shao was stunned when he heard this: "What's the relationship?"
"The relationship between the two of them is really good."
Yuan Shao said nonchalantly: "What's the matter? When we were in Luoyang, the three of us, oh, and Bao Xin, were all very angry."
Jushou shook his head and said: "Today is different from the past. Cao Cao and Tao Shang are both your vassals. Since you are the master, you must judge the way of balance. The relationship between the two vassals should be good. This should not be done by the master." What I hope to see is that they are at odds with each other, bicker with each other, and fight fiercely with each other. As the master, Ming Gong balances the left and right, so that either of them will be grateful to Ming Gong for his kindness. This is the way to be a master."
When Yuan Shao heard this, he narrowed his eyes and fell into deep contemplation.
…
…
After Chen Liu joined forces, the three groups of soldiers and horses, led by three princes respectively and with Yuan Shao as the commander, marched towards Zhongmou County in unison.
At this moment, Dong Zhuo's army also left Guanzhong and headed straight for Zhongmu County.
Dong Zhuo was sure to win this time, so he took Lu Bu as the vanguard and led the Bingzhou Army headquarters to attack Zhongmu County first.
Zhu Jun of Zhongmu County did not have many soldiers and horses. Even though he was once a famous general in the world, he is now very old.
Facing the attacks of Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Wei Xu, Song Xian and other fierce generals, Zhu Jun could not hold on for even a day. He abandoned Zhongmu County and ran eastward, while his troops were destroyed by Zhang Liao's attack. funeral.
After Lu Bu captured the city, he did not station his troops and horses in the county town. Instead, he set up camp outside the city and lined up in the four fields.
The most powerful cavalry in the world is in the Bingzhou Army.
Battles in fortified cities are by no means Lu Bu's specialty. On the contrary, fighting in the wilderness can bring out the ruthlessness, bloodthirsty, bravery and brutality of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.
The best military general in the world, as well as his sharpest minions, are currently displayed in the wilderness of Zhongmu County, waiting for the arrival of the troops of the three princes from Kanto.
