"Brother!? What's wrong with you? Why are you here? Aren't you leading your troops to resist that plan?"
Yuan Shang never expected that Yuan Tan would be here in shame in less than a month?
Was he defeated? No way? Didn't he have Gao Lan as his assistant and a Qingzhou Army of 50,000 to 60,000 men? How could he be defeated so quickly?
Moreover, Yuan Tan didn't bring many soldiers under his command? I'm afraid it was just a few hundred people, right?
No matter what Yuan Shang thought, he never expected that his eldest brother Yuan Tan would be beaten and wiped out by Xiang Ji.
"Brother, it's hard to explain in words..."
Facing Yuan Shang's inquiry, even though Yuan Tan felt embarrassed, he could only tell the story helplessly.
When Yuan Shang heard that Yuan Tan had been completely wiped out, he couldn't help but curled his lips.
What a waste!
If I had known you were so weak, I would have taken down this great Qingzhou, the lonely king. Oh, I regret it.
Obviously, after Xin Ping's deception, Yuan Shang's mentality has changed and he no longer cares so much about the so-called reputation issue.
But when he heard that Yuan Tan's defeat was actually caused by Gao Lan's rebellion, he was immediately shocked.
How is that possible?
Gao Lan was promoted to the army by his father, and he had been serving the Yuan family loyally for more than ten years. How could he rebel just by saying he was rebelling?
But looking at the destitute Yuan Tan in front of him, Yuan Shang also knew that no matter what the reason was, his rebellion was inevitable, otherwise this guy wouldn't be in such a miserable state.
But, here comes the problem!
Gao Lan can rebel, but what about Zhang He? Will he rebel?
You know, Zhang He is not yet a veteran of the Yuan family.
This guy was once a general under Han Fu!
Since he can betray Han Fu and return to my Yuan family, can he betray my Yuan family again and return to the Chu Kingdom?
This is not impossible!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shang could no longer sit still.
You know, after some reorganization, Zhang He's army had just set off two days ago!
Now, if he rebelled, Yuan Shang would really have no place to cry.
However, the naive Yuan Shang obviously did not realize that Zhang He left Han Fu because Yuan Shao was powerful and Han Fu did not reuse Zhang He.
But now, Hebei is known as a million-strong army, and Zhang He is the top general in Hebei. Even if he is crazy, he will not surrender to the enemy.
"Come here! Go and call your judge quickly!"
Due to the worry in his heart, Yuan Shang was too lazy to pay attention to Yuan Tan, who was pretending to be depressed.
Ma De, Zhang He must not be allowed to lead the army alone. If this is the same as Gao Lan, wouldn't the lonely king become a fool?
Look at the unlucky Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang is fighting against the cold.
"Your Majesty, are you looking for a minister?"
After asking, the judge quickly came to Yuan Shang.
"My dear, the lonely king has something that you need to handle quickly."
Yuan Shangfang felt relieved after sharing his worries with his co-examiner.
Presumably, with Xian Pei serving as the supervisor, Zhang He's problem won't be big, right?
As for why Yuan Shang didn't personally lead his troops to deal with Xiang Ji first?
Just kidding, the lonely king "said" to manage thousands of "chickens", how could he have so much free time?
A mere Chu state has only tens of thousands of troops. Zhang He's 200,000 troops are enough.
Looking at Yuan Shang who was open-mouthed and lonely, Yuan Tan could only feel sorry for himself and envy him.
This is the winner in life!
Jizhou, Ningjin.
"What!? You said the king asked you to come over and be a supervisor?"
Looking at the judge with a dusty face, Zhang He was filled with disbelief.
Damn, is there something wrong with this? My army will arrive in Qingzhou in the next few days, and then you sent me a supervising army from Yecheng? Are you going to control the whole army?
Yes, after several days of traveling, Shen Pei finally caught up with Zhang He's army.
After all, most of his subordinates are infantry, and the marching speed cannot be as fast as that of running wildly on horseback, right?
When the judge informed Zhang He of Yuan Shang's order, Zhang He was shocked.
Of course, this is also expected by the judge. Anyone who is suddenly deprived of military power and has an additional immediate boss will react like this, right?
But so what? Hum hum, the king trusts someone to judge, not you Zhang He!
"General Zhang, are you going to disobey me!?"
Seeing Zhang Hemian's hesitation, the judge started to drink loudly.
Just kidding, if this doesn't stop you, isn't it a waste of time to interrogate someone?
This is the commander of an army of 200,000 people.
As long as I can get military power and destroy the Chu State's nationality, wouldn't it be the first thing I can do to judge someone?
You must know that Shen Pei is fully confident in fighting the Chu State and destroying Xiang Ji.
When Chu State just sent out troops, even Yuan Shang and others in Jizhou were really surprised.
But when he learned that Xiang Ji only had more than 50,000 soldiers under his command, he almost fainted from laughter.
What can a mere 50,000 people do? I'm afraid our Hebei army can drown them all with just one mouthful of foam, right?
How did the judge know that Chu State was sending troops from Pengcheng to Qingzhou?
Moreover, Xiang Ji's Chu army was more than 50,000 men.
Far away in the Taihang Mountains of Bingzhou, there are still a total of 80,000 troops marching in the difficult mountains.
"Zhang He doesn't dare."
Faced with the questioning from the trial matchmaker, Zhang He, who had no objection, naturally had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.
"Very good, General Zhang is worthy of being a role model for our army.
In that case, please trouble General Zhang to assemble the troops, my army is going to give a lecture!"
You have the right to use it and it will become invalid upon expiration.
Obviously, the match review will never give Zhang He a second chance to choose.
"I am the judge, and I have been appointed by the King of Qi as the commander-in-chief of our Hebei Army Supervision Army!"
Accompanied by Zhang He, Shenpei announced the change of command authority to his 200,000 troops in a high-profile manner.
Regarding this, Zhang He could only stare blankly no matter how angry he was.
Forget it, I can't stand it anymore, but there's just one more
But something happened right away that made him even more angry.
"Now I order the entire army to move out, and we will go directly to Yangxin!"
!!!
Initially he was just depressed, but when he heard the order from the judge, Zhang He was filled with anger.
Damn, is there something wrong? If you don’t go directly to Qingzhou, why do you want to take a detour to Yangxin?
"Master Shenpei, I need an explanation as to why our army doesn't go directly to Qingzhou?"
After his soldiers dispersed, Zhang He, who returned to the camp, quickly asked the judge.
Are you kidding, go to Yangxin? Isn’t that taking a long way? With an army of 200,000 marching, don’t you need to pay for food, grass and baggage?
"General Zhang He, do you know? There are clouds in the art of war, the reality is the imaginary, and the imaginary is the reality.
If our army enters Qingzhou rashly and is ambushed by the Chu army, who will bear the responsibility?
Instead, our army takes a detour to Yangxin and launches an attack from a place the Chu army would never expect. This will have a miraculous effect!"
Looking at Shen Pei with a look of contempt on his face, Zhang He really wanted to slap him in the face.
Damn it, an army of 200,000 people is fighting against 50,000 people. You are lying and telling the truth, sir!
