Chapter 44: Yuan Gonggong, who is out of breath (thanks to [Lu Changsheng]
On the path of Yingchuan Academy,
The two pairs of gay friends chatted passionately, but our Lu Daxian was alone, looking really lonely and pitiful.
Fortunately, this section of the road is not long and we reached the end soon.
They came here mainly because Guo Jiahe Xi Zhicai had a whim to revisit his old place, but in fact they didn't have many other ideas.
Today's Yingchuan Academy is no longer so stunningly talented.
Even the founder of the academy,
One of them died of illness, and the other was preparing to go south to Jingzhou.
When Xi Zhicai and Zhao Yun came to Yangzhai City, they sent a letter written by Cao Cao to Yuan Shu.
Cao Jun and Yuan Jun had a rare buffer period of one or two days.
Lu Yan, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai and others were able to steal half a day of free life and come to Yingchuan Academy for a walk.
Although Yingchuan Academy is no longer as glorious as it used to be, there are still talented people here who can be used.
Two seniors, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, came to speak out.
Lu Yan...oh no, it's Boss Cao. Maybe he can get another group of people back to use...
...
In the tent of Yuan Shuzhong's army,
I originally thought that after reading Cao Cao's autographed letter, Yuan Shu would rationally choose to return to his hometown in Runan to cultivate before making plans for Jiangdong and Jingzhou.
But the problem is, Yuan Shu can't swallow this breath.
"I, the dignified Marquis of Yangzhai, not only lost my army but lost my generals, now I have even taken over my fiefdom... Don't you, Cao Mengde, give me an explanation?"
Holding Cao Cao’s letter,
Looking at the two brothers and sisters kneeling below, Yuan Shu became angrier the more he thought about it.
"Tell me, you two, what is Lu Yan's ability? In less than half a month, he was able to cut your 80,000-strong army in half and also lose the city of Yangzhai?
"
After Zhang Xun heard this, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears.
"The crime will be that he returned to the army to rescue Yang Zhai and was guilty of lack of awareness!
But then Lu Yan,
He was so crazy that he ambushed me three times in one day!
Three times exactly, my lord!"
Zhang Xun's voice was aggrieved and miserable, making everyone present feel sympathy.
So someone couldn't help but stand up and plead for Zhang Xun:
"Yes, Lu Yan is really too despicable to ambush someone three times in a row!"
"Hey, General Zhang has stepped into a series of traps carefully set by Cao Jun. It is not a fault of war!"
"Lord, please give General Zhang a chance to redeem himself and make meritorious service!"
Although Yuan Shu has various shortcomings, he is still an elite cultivated by a wealthy family.
And everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages,
Yuan Shu is just a little stingy, petty, jealous, and has a slightly narrow vision...
But in fact, he also has a bold character and a courageous and responsible side.
At heart, he is a very traditional nobleman.
Yuan Shu was actually a little disdainful of his subordinates begging him to let Zhang Xun go.
"Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. I, Yuan Gongdao, will not vent his anger on his generals because of the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."
In Yuan Shu's eyes, his only real opponent was his eldest brother Yuan Shao, who was born as a concubine. As for the others, they were just stumbling blocks in front of him.
Yuan Shu, who is extremely arrogant at heart,
Now he was defeated by Cao Aman, whom he had always looked down on, and he was defeated so cleanly and neatly. How could he not be angry?
Yuan Shu put away the anger on his face,
He walked up to Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang, helped them up personally, and said:
"Two generals, please rise!
General Zhang is brave, General Liu is steady,
This time it was just because of the division of troops that the commander-in-chief of Cao Jun seized the opportunity and defeated them one by one.
If we really pursue it, this is actually my fault, Yuan Shu."
Hearing that Yuan Shu had put all the blame on himself, Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang were immediately moved by Yuan Shu and their eyes turned red again.
Thinking back to those days, wasn't it that I was attracted by the lord's righteousness and heroism in front of me and joined him to this day?
"My true lord!"
Seeing Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang stand up,
After Yuan Shu nodded, he patted their arms again and asked:
"You two, are you willing to accept your crime and make meritorious service?"
After Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang heard this, their bodies that had just stood up straight suddenly became shorter again.
They knelt down on one knee towards Yuan Shu and shouted with all their strength:
"The sinner is willing to die for his lord!"
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness!"
"Okay!" Yuan Shu suddenly turned around, walked back to the main position, and then said to the first warrior on the right:
"Send me the military order!
Tomorrow Ji Ling will be the main general.
Liu Xiang and Zhang Xun are deputy generals, and they have a hundred thousand troops under my command.
The troops are approaching Yangzhai City!"
Ji Lingshi has a three-pointed sword that weighs fifty kilograms. He is Yuan Shu's most powerful general. His personal bravery is probably at the level of a first-rate general.
However, Ji Ling's record is a little weird.
He was able to fight Brother Guan for thirty rounds, but was stabbed by Zhang Fei in ten rounds.
Perhaps it has something to do with the environment at the time and the psychological factors of the characters.
But it is undeniable that
Ji Ling was indeed a good general who was both capable of leading troops in battle and possessing personal bravery.
Lu Yan, who originally thought he was a famous and unknown person,
Two generals, Zhang Xun and Liu Xiang, are enough.
Unexpectedly, Liu Xiang was so embarrassed by Cao Jun that he did not dare to take the lead. Zhang Xun was ambushed by Cao Jun three times in one day, and his mentality was shattered...
Yuan Shu estimated,
If you want to truly win back a victory,
I’m afraid I still have to use my strongest trump card!
After Yuan Shu's order was issued,
Ji Ling took a step to the side and stood up, cupping his fists and saying:
"Ji Ling, I am willing to go through fire and water for my lord without hesitation!"
...
Yangzhai City, among the state capitals,
Lu Yan is now promoted to the official position of Tuntian Zhonglang General by Boss Cao.
So now, General Xi Zhong, the supreme commander-in-chief and military advisor appointed by Cao Cao, took the lead.
"Ahem..."
Xi Zhicai pretended to cough twice, woke up Lu Yan who had dozed off with his eyes closed, and then spoke to Lu Yan:
"Changsheng, my lord is actually doing this to eliminate hidden dangers for you. Don't worry too much..."
Lu Yan blinked his eyes and replied: "Careful? Why am I careless?"
Guo Jia thought that Lu Yan was resentful and was deliberately venting his anger at this moment.
Guo Jiake didn't wait for him to open his mouth to persuade, but Lu Yan continued: "
Mr. Cao only removed my official position and work tasks, but retained my previous salary.
Having more money, less things to do and being close to home, do you know this is the life that many people dream of?"
"..."
Okay, we forgot about this guy's nature...
I thought that you, Lu Yan, led the soldiers of Chenliu County to a great victory and finally started to change your gender.
Unexpectedly,
You are still the master of fishing, Lu Changsheng!
Live up to your original intention and live up to you!
Old God Lu Yan speculated: "Mr. Cao probably saw that I was already overdrafted, so he took the opportunity to give me a sinecure to rest.
Do you know Rong Naida?
Zhicai, Fengxiao, I'm afraid you all underestimate Cao Gong's broad-mindedness!"
"Oh~! Is that so?"
Cao Ren, Cao Hong and other generals had previously defended Lu Yan, clamoring to go and reason with their eldest brother.
Only then did he react after hearing Lu Yan's words, "It turns out that the eldest brother feels sorry for his elder brother...ah! He feels sorry for Lu Sima!"
"Sure enough, when it comes to the lord's trust, Lu Sima is still unmatched!" Xi Zhicai said to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan smiled and continued to doze off.
Zhao Yun, who had been standing behind Lu Yan, subconsciously straightened his waist, looking proud.
