"The king was so angry that he dared to reward his advisors because he was exposed in the wilderness." [Guoyu·Luyu Part 1]
In the camp of Yuan Jun.
Yan Xiang almost jumped up from where he was, jumped over the table, knelt down and fell in front of Yuan Shu. He endured the severe pain in his knee, and his face was grim with pain: "Ming Gong, we cannot withdraw our troops!"
However, the messengers had already gone out to issue orders under Yuan Shu's scolding. Yuan Shu saw Yan Xiang's confusion and shouted angrily: "What do you know! If the Yueqi camp breaks my camp, how can you and I survive!"
"Ming Gong!" Li Ye also walked aside at this time, side by side with Yan Xiang, and persuaded: "Our army still has ten thousand people in the camp. We can rely on our horses and antlers to defend against the enemy. There is no need to move Qiao Rui back.
.If Qiao Rui returns to the rescue, Tian Chou and Liu Bei will definitely pursue them one after another. Not only will they lose their lives, but our army will be overturned very soon!"
At this time, Yuan Shu did not listen to his words. His face darkened, and he held the scabbard dangerously with his left hand, his thumb pressed tightly against the sword grid, as if the sharp sword would jump out of the sheath if he exerted force.
Yuan Shu pressed his sword, straightened his body and walked around from behind the desk, his feet full of fear. He walked up to Li Ye, Yan Xiang and others, and kicked each of them first. The kick was very hard, as if venting his anger.
General: "You two are mediocre! You swore that the imperial court would transfer the Yueqi camp to the north, leaving me defenseless! Now that the Yueqi camp has come and even defeated the Zuo camp, you still taught me how to use tactics.
!”
Yan Xiang was old. He was kicked by Yuan Shu and his breathing was stagnated. His face turned pale and he lay on the ground out of breath. Li Yesheng suffered from this kick and rubbed his chest in pain to find an excuse for himself and said: "There is no world in the world."
How can there be no plan and no plan? Even Deng Yu had his 'missing corner', how much more so than we?"
Yuan Shu was angry that the other party had misled him, and he was panicked by the sudden aggressive momentum of the Yue Qi camp outside the camp. If the two men had not sang together, they were sure that Yue Qi would be transferred by the court to deal with Yuan Shao, and he would never be in Xuzhou.
He also said that if he were here, he should have appeared on the battlefield before Tian Chou's infantry, so that he could be used as a surprise soldier. Why did he believe such nonsense!
Now Yuan Shu thought that Tian Chou and Liu Bei's troops were all out in front of the formation, and was about to plan to reinforce thousands of people and overwhelm these two troops in one go. However, the arrival of the Yueqi battalion instantly broke his plan, not only
The unsuspecting Zuoying camp was defeated, and its front was directed at the Chinese army!
Even Zhang Xun led his troops to attack regardless of the bleeding wound on his neck. Yan Xiang and the two men kept saying that they could not move back to Qiao Rui and had to take advantage of the favorable location to defend it.
"It makes sense, but it doesn't make sense either." Yuan Shu stamped his feet fiercely and said angrily: "You can explain all the truth in the world!"
Yan Xiang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a 'wow' sound. Li Ye was startled and rushed forward to look at him: "Yan Gong, Yan Gong?"
Yuan Shu glanced at Yan Xiang's remains and thought about all the things he had gotten along with. He couldn't help but feel regret in his heart. He turned to the outside of the tent and said angrily: "Send a doctor to come in!"
After saying this, he stopped looking at him, drew his sword, and went outside the tent to supervise the battle.
Yan Xiang then coughed out two more mouthfuls of blood, dyeing the white beard under his chin and the snow-white lined collar red, like a bright peony blooming on his chest.
"Mr. Yan, is Mr. Yan still okay?" Li Ye nervously checked Yan Xiang's injuries. He and Yan Xiang were both from Nanyang. They were erudite and had a mentor-friendship in their early years. Li Ye's family background was not good.
It was only thanks to the support of Yan Xiang that he was able to join Yuan Shu's court as a military adviser. Now that even Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu's closest adviser, had suffered like this, Li Ye was filled with fear and hatred.
Although Li Ye had always complained about Yuan Shu's stubbornness and lack of kindness to his virtuous people, he only regarded it as a result of his character. He never expected that Yuan Shu would be so unkind when he was so angry. It was just a mistake.
How is it different from the tyrants of ancient times to beat and kick an old minister who has been trusted for many years after just saying a word? Is this how the Yuan family of Runan behaves like a scholar?
"Heh, heh...heh." Yan Xiang managed to open his eyes, opened his lips slightly, and slowly raised his hand.
Li Ye quickly held him. The old man's hand was withered and rough, and there were calluses on the tiger's mouth, which were traces of years of hard work: "Yan Gong."
Tears welled up in Yan Xiang's eyes. He held Li Ye's hand tightly. He felt like his chest was about to tear apart without saying a word. He stared straight at Li Ye, and two lines of clear tears fell from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably.
The trickle down: "You, you are so... take care of yourself."
The Yueqi Battalion is one of the forbidden brigades in the north and south built by the emperor at all costs and manpower. In addition to everyone having superb riding and shooting skills, their mounts are different from the cavalry under the Central Plains princes in two ways. One is the Yueqi Battalion.
His mount was produced in Shuofang. It was a fine horse obtained by the imperial court after the Huns were exterminated. All of them were tall and strong and could run as fast as flying. The other one was from the Yueqi camp, which was designated by the emperor as a light horse. It emphasized speed and not only had a saddle, stirrups and hoofs.
The iron is ready, and everyone is equipped with two horses.
Riding skills, good horses, and tactics, the Yue Cavalry Camp just appeared in the enemy's sight. Before they had time to warn, they came as suddenly as the wind. The entire left camp of Yuan Army was crushed by the Yue Cavalry led by Tai Shi Ci at that time.
The cavalry galloped back and forth, killing left and right, forcing the defenders in the camp to retreat continuously. Zhang Xun, who was so angry that he hurried over to hold down the formation, turned pale and his neck was red.
Ming Gong, now I know why you are so afraid of Yue Qiying.
When Yuan Shu was in Luoyang, he served as General Hu Ben Zhonglang. As one of the two chief generals of the Southern Army, he often had close contacts with the Five Schools of the Northern Army. Even if the Han Dynasty was in decline and its national power was declining, it could still use the Five Schools of the Northern Army as its leader.
The elite main force successfully annihilated the Yellow Turbans. It can be imagined that the Northern Army at that time was still elite, let alone the New Northern Army that has been reorganized by the emperor and trained for several years?
I remember that when Tian Chou went to Runan to defeat Sun Ce, in addition to his and Guo Jia's outstanding personal strategies, he thought he relied on this 3,500-strong Yueqi battalion.
Yan Xiang and Li Ye didn't know the power of the Northern Army. They only knew that the decline of the Han Dynasty must be completely rotten from the inside to the outside. But how could they pay attention to Yuan Shu's words? Even if they did, they would still be restrained.
Due to limited thinking, they make wrong judgments from an inferior perspective.
Taishi Ci fought bravely and charged into the formation several times with a spear, leaving countless corpses behind. There was almost no disharmony in the Yueqi battalion under his first command. They were like a whole, a killing machine, no matter who the leader was,
As long as you dare to take the lead in charging, even if a goat reaches its horns, it will cause a group of lions to roar.
Zhang Xun ordered his troops and horses to go out to help the battle. He could only barely stop the cavalry whose momentum was weakening, but he could not stop the figure in front of him who was riding a horse and wandering among the enemies. Zhang Xun was furious and suddenly felt wet on his neck.
When he got up, he touched it subconsciously, and the tips of his fingers were covered with bright red blood.
