After Yuan Tan arrived in the north of Congling, he first sent someone to Li Jue's place to inform him. As for the other party not recognizing him there, it would basically not happen.
Although there are some people in Central Asia who appear to be similar to the Central Plains people in the eyes of outsiders, in the eyes of the Central Plains people themselves they are very different, and there is no possibility that they do not recognize them.
When Yuan Tan arrived, Li Jue and others had just finished making the map when they heard soldiers reporting that Han troops were coming.
"Ha, why did it come so fast? Didn't it mean there was still half a month?" Li Jue asked Guo Si and Fan Chou in confusion.
"Maybe it's speeding up." Guo Bang said it quite casually without thinking at all, but this was very reasonable in the eyes of this group of people.
"Then let's go pick up our little military advisor now." Fan Chou stroked his prickly beard and said after thinking for a while.
"Then let's go." Li Jue thought for a while, rolled up the map, ordered people to put it on the carriage, and then led three thousand elites to greet him. Of course, they didn't know that Yuan Tan was coming now, they just thought Zhuge Liang was coming.
The army came.
Of course, there is also a problem here that Chen Xi did not notify Li Jue. To be precise, not even Zhuge Liang notified him. Compared with others, Yuan Tan had greater freedom along the way, and the other party was regarded as a large-scale experiment by Chen Xi.
To be honest, Chen Xi is very curious about how far the Yuan family can go. Therefore, although there are so many people coming from the Western Regions, in fact, the first person Zhuge Liang can stably control must be Li Jue. Of course, this is also one of Zhuge Liang's test questions.
After all, Chen Gong and the judge are not vegetarians. Although Zhuge Liang will be given face because he was sent by Liu Bei, face cannot be eaten. If he cannot show enough ability, the Yuan family will definitely choose to be self-reliant.
Compared to others, Yuan Tan took the entire team with him when he left. Although there were many shortcomings, Yuan Tan was able to support a grass platform by repairing it, and the generals of the Yuan family were also able to support themselves.
There are judges, Xun Chen and others are not ordinary characters.
Even if there is no one else, this group of people can definitely take root there by relying on their own abilities, so Chen Xi is not worried. As for things like holding each other back, first of all, these people are either stupid or smart.
If Zhuge Liang's ability can't even reach this level, then Chen Xizhen has no choice.
After all, the Western Region is a testing ground, to verify the potential of the family, to verify the possibility of fighting, to verify the potential of the next generation, and also to verify the executability of the strategy planned by Chen Xi back then.
Although it stands to reason that sooner or later, these aristocratic families will be fed until they are full, and they will eventually have to start cultivating the people of the Central Plains. But Chen Xi is also a little frightened if he really wants to embark on this path. No one in Chinese history has ever embarked on this path.
There is a way.
If I screw up, I'm afraid no one will take this road again in the future. Then Hua Xiaxia will know how many opportunities will be missed in the future. Looking forward, this era is definitely the best era to expand territory.
So Chen Xi needs a model, which is why Chen Xi secretly gave Yuan Tan a lot of help. The Yuan family is worth the price. If the head of the Yuan family is Yuan Shao, then Chen Xi may give less help, but although Yuan Tan has gone through hardships,
There is still a big gap between him and Yuan Shao. From Hulao Pass to the present, one of the best monarchs Chen Xi has ever witnessed is Yuan Shao!
Although he didn't know how long it would take to establish such a model, according to Chen Xi's estimation, with the manpower brought by Yuan Tan, as long as he let go, a powerful kingdom could be established in one generation.
Of course, if it were Yuan Shao who was at his peak, Chen Xi guessed that the opponent might be able to get a powerful one, so he would wait for the opportunity to advance to the enhanced kingdom of the empire.
Although civil servants and generals are indeed very important, it must be said that the monarch has the greatest influence on a force.
"Hey, the other party actually led their troops to greet us. We have such a good relationship with Li Jue and the others?" Yuan Tan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
The judge ordered the soldiers to be on guard with an expressionless face. Although the opposite side was Xiliang Iron Cavalry, it was not that they had never been beaten before. The assault ability was particularly strong, and they had been beaten before.
"That's not right. Our military advisor's surname is Zhuge, and the flag he carries should be Han. How come the flag is Yuan?" Li Jue frowned and looked at the flag in front of him.
Just like Li Jue and his group, the banner they are currently flying is Han, and then their own, but the banner on the opposite side is actually Yuan, and the number is also a bit wrong.
"It's not like someone wants to make money off the three of us." Guo Bang said with great imagination.
"It seems that the Yuan family's army is on the opposite side." Duan Xuan suddenly said, "I heard that the Yuan family went north and broke the foundation of the Northern Huns. I didn't expect that they came directly here. I'm afraid they also listened to Chen Hou's command.
."
"Oh, what should we do? Can we pick him up?" Li Jue said slightly awkwardly. He brought the army out to pick him up, but he found that he was not the one he wanted to meet.
"Take it, give the Yuan family face, and see that they can wipe out the Northern Huns." Fan Chou said, stroking his pricked beard.
"In that case, line up!" Li Jue raised his spear and gave the order. The army quickly divided into two lines. Then the three of them and twenty centurions stayed at the front and rode horses slowly to meet the Yuan family's army.
.
It's not about how strong the Yuan family is, but because the Yuan family has cut off the roots of the Huns and eliminated the scourge that has been entangled for five hundred years for China. Based on this, since they are here, there is nothing beyond the line to greet the opponent.
.
"It seems that the other party was confirming our identities at first. I'm afraid this place is quite chaotic." Shen Pei looked at the Xiliang cavalry who quickly formed two rows and spread out far away, waiting there with their spears.
The tone of voice is not just about fighting for your life.
Although Shen Pei said he was not afraid of the Xiliang cavalry, anyone who has been around in the Central Plains will have a headache when they see this thing. This thing is so thick that you don't even know how to deal with it, and you don't even know how to deal with it.
Know how to start.
"In that case, let's go over." Seeing more than 20 people coming to greet them, Yuan Tan silently tidied his robes, flicked his cloak, and led his men to greet them.
"Yuan Tan of the Yuan family in Hebei has met all of you." In the past, Yuan Tan did not salute according to his official position, but used his family's name to salute Li Jue and others first.
Although Li Jue didn't understand what he meant, he didn't come here to cause trouble, so he bowed in return and introduced each of them to Yu.
"Is this Gao Yuanbo?" Li Jue looked Gao Lan up and down and nodded silently, "It's really impressive. With you here, it will be much easier for us next time."
Yuan Tan and others did not understand the meaning of Li Jue's words, but it did not hinder the communication between them. After all, Yuan Tan also had a person who was good at judging matchmaking. He could clearly feel that although Li Jue, Guo Si and others spoke vulgarly,
And some words are indeed difficult to answer, but there is no malice in them, and they are indeed greeted sincerely.
As for the issue of speaking, Shen Pei said that as long as these uneducated guys came to welcome them sincerely, they would not mind if they spoke harshly.
After that, Li Jue and Guo Bang took Yuan Tan and others to a certain plateau where they were stationed. The altitude of that place was about six thousand meters. Therefore, the higher they went, the weaker Yuan Tan's soldiers became. As for those muscular barbarians, they were
Living at an altitude of about 100 meters, most of them are almost exhausted now.
On the other hand, the elite Yuan family led by Gao Lan, not to mention others, at least although they were also extremely unsuited to this place, they still maintained their formation by willpower and did not have any major problems due to fatigue or breathing.
As for the Xiliang cavalry led by Li Jue, everyone acted as if nothing had happened. They had been used to it some time ago, and Li Jue even began to lead them to attack the height of seven thousand meters.
"Not bad, the soldiers under your command are indeed good." Li Jue looked at those soldiers with ugly faces, but his steps did not slow down. He still carried the spear instead of relying on the spear to support his body. He was struggling, but he still maintained his posture.
The soldiers of the Yuan family behaved appropriately.
Yuan Tan looked ugly. He couldn't be considered good from any angle. Even he felt a little breathless in a place like this. All his elite soldiers now looked tired, while the Xiliang cavalry looked like they were fine.
If before, the trial matchmaker thought that his elites would definitely be able to block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry after turning on the legion talent and his own elite talent. Now, under this environment, the trial matchmaker can guarantee that his own elites can even block the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's charge.
Can't stop it.
"Do you think I'm laughing at you?" Li Jue said with a half-smile.
Yuan Tan frowned and looked at the Xiliang cavalry who looked calm, and then at his elite soldiers who were struggling. His inner thoughts were self-evident.
"Actually, it's really good. When this group of people came, they were not much better than yours. Your soldiers are already very strong in all aspects, and they have a strong will and body."
Guo Bang turned his head and said something fair.
"This place is basically inaccessible to soldiers. According to our estimation, as long as they can climb up for the first time, even if the entire legion staggers up, they will be an elite legion. Five thousand meters is a hurdle. This group of soldiers under your command
He is already very strong in all qualities." Fan Chou looked at the soldiers who were starting to shine and were in a mess, and twitched his lips.
"Is this legion pieced together?" Li Jue looked at the elite talents emerging, but they restricted each other for a while before the elite talents of the same color appeared.
"Ahem, I can't help it. I was in a hurry when I left." Yuan Tan coughed twice. He had just seen clearly that the soldiers had exploded with about ten kinds of incomplete elite talents before they turned into a complete one.
Elite talent.
"Let your barbarians live here, they may not be able to bear it any further." Li Jue glanced at the staggering barbarians and curled his lips.
Yuan Tan sighed. He originally had great hopes for these barbarians, but with today's performance, Yuan Tan felt that the veterans under his command who were left behind by his father were more reliable.
He dismissed the barbarians on the spot and looked at the group of barbarians lying on the ground like dead dogs. Yuan Tan let out a long sigh. It was simply embarrassing.
"Keep going up. The road behind is very difficult. Only by going up can you be qualified to live with us. Otherwise, you can only live where you stay." Li Jue turned his head to Yuan Tan and others.
said.
"Speaking of which, this place is so evil, why do you want to live here?" Although Yuan Tan looked a little ugly, he did not refute. Why should you live there if you can't walk up there?
"Because in this place, you can become stronger even if you lie down." Li Jue thought for a while and said, "Of course, you have to be able to come up."
Shen Pei was shocked when he heard this, but he immediately reacted. Li Jue had made it clear before that his Xiliang cavalry was struggling just like the elite Yuan army they led, but now they are obviously used to it, so naturally they have changed.
Stronger.
"In that case, this place is indeed a treasure." Shenpei nodded silently and said, saying that Shenpei is almost exhausted now, but as a counselor, he is not an unscrupulous guy like Chen Xi. Beat him to death.
Nor would he bury his head in the horse's mane like a dead dog.
"Hey, when you get used to this place, there will be more entertainment items." Li Jue said with a little sarcasm. During the training, he made an avalanche. When you were about to be exhausted, he forced you to launch a legion attack to let you know that you are actually still alive.
has potential.
Having said that, the elites of the Yuan family are indeed quite powerful. Although they showed fatigue when they reached 5,500 meters and were about to be annihilated, they finally managed to climb to the place where Li Jue and others built the city. Although after climbing up,
The first one fell down, and a group of people fell down, but they all got up anyway.
"Tug them away, drag them away. Don't be stingy about food and drink. These are all comrades who will climb the mountain with you from tomorrow and will fight side by side with you in the future." Li Jue ordered to the cavalry soldiers. It means that they can climb up.
This group of people has indeed reached a very high level of mental, physical and mental quality, and Fang Pingyuan is definitely a first-class elite.
The 5,000 Xiliang Iron Knight soldiers led by Guo Si at the beginning were almost the same as this group of people. After arriving at the location, they lay down in a large area. There was nothing they could do about it.
"Old Fan, have you noticed that some of the soldiers of the Yuan family were still unconvinced before, but now even those who are still standing are no longer as unruly as before." Li Jue sent a message to Fan Chou and said.
"It's true." Fan Chou observed it and found that these Yuan family soldiers really showed respect on their faces.
"This item will be retained in the future." Guo Si sent a message to the other two people with a sinister smile, "This is more reliable than any other show of force, it is more generous and does not deceive others, but this road must be taken, and it cannot be taken.
You have no right to squat with us!"
"Your Majesty..." More than five hundred barbarians followed up with difficulty, and almost all of them fell down in front of Yuan Tan, who was also having difficulty breathing. These barbarians didn't know much Chinese so far. This time, the tired Lord said,
But it made Yuan Tan understand his position in the hearts of these people.
