As a member of a distinguished family, and often boasting of being the capital of the country, Yuan Shao has always valued style and demeanor. Yes, these are all superficial, but this is what matters in this era.
His handsome eyebrows and phoenix-like eyes, his long beard reaching to his chest; his gestures and gestures are all in compliance with etiquette; coupled with his family background, he became one of the most charismatic princes in the contemporary era.
But now, looking at Chun Yuqiong who was lying on the ground in a miserable state, Yuan Shao felt very impulsive. Regardless of the wind, he rushed forward a few steps, kicked up and completely crushed this loser!
It’s so embarrassing!
An army's strength is unpredictable, and it's nothing to lose a battle due to deliberate calculations. There are many military generals who have been defeated by that cunning boy Wang Pengju. If he can pull the main force of the army back, he might be able to become a famous general.
!
Even if it is a complete defeat, it doesn't matter. This kind of thing is like a race. There are precedents such as the Xiliang Army and the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. No matter how miserable Chunyu Qiong is, it is not very conspicuous... Think about it, ten thousand vanguards, this
Why don't you come back with four or five thousand? Under Wang Pengju's hand, nearly half of them survived!
But, listen to what this idiot is saying, poisoning? Does Wang Pengju need to poison to clean up a piece of trash? Moreover, is it justified to poison tens of thousands of people? Could it be that he turned the entire Panhe River into poisonous water?
What?
"Mo, I also thought it was impossible, but at that time..." Chun Yuqiong knelt on the ground dejectedly, curled up into a ball, like a large turtle.
He also knew that his answer was unreliable, but the scene when Taishan Qingqi rode into the formation really impressed him so deeply that even now, when he closes his eyes, he can clearly reproduce the scene at that time.
After about a stick of incense, there was a faint sound of thunder along the river, causing the water waves to tremble slightly. No need to remind Chun Yuqiong that he knew what was going on, and he issued the order to prepare for war in time.
The order was timely, but the effect was huge. The soldiers of the Jizhou Army were all well-trained. Except for a few who were too asleep and slow to react, most of them grabbed their weapons and jumped up.
Then……
Everyone found that their movements were obviously slower than usual. Both legs and the entire back seemed not to be their own. They were so sore that they could not use the strength, and their hands were soft. They could lift the weapons, but the big oars were not strong enough.
The heavy ones like this cannot be lifted. Those wearing heavy armor are completely unable to stand up by their own strength.
The person who had just taken his turn to drink water from the river was even worse. As soon as his body moved a little, he immediately felt his eyes turning black and the world spinning.
I don’t know who made the first cry, saying that he was poisoned, and then his morale collapsed instantly.
Some people squatted on the ground and picked at their throats, trying to vomit out the poison; some people jumped into the river, but forgot that they could not swim, and struggled desperately in the river water just up to their chin, calling for help, and slowly sank; most people left
He grabbed his weapon and stumbled away far away.
The heavy armored infantry were the worst. They were originally the main force in the battle and the hope of the army. However, at the moment when the army collapsed, they could not even stand up. They could only crawl on the ground in despair like a group of turtles.
Then, they were either trampled by their comrades who were running away madly, or they resigned themselves to waiting to die on the spot.
Chunyu Qiong was stunned at the time, and the last impression in her mind was thousands of people shouting in unison: "Poisoned, poisoned!"
When he woke up again, he found that he had arrived outside Xindu City and joined Yuan Shao's main force. Therefore, when Yuan Shao asked him about the reason for his defeat, he could only give such an unreliable answer.
.
"How dare you..." Yuan Shao could no longer suppress the anger in his chest and stood up in a hurry. His face turned red and white, and finally turned ashen.
He was also under a lot of pressure to let Chun Yuqiong serve as the vanguard. Hebei had many famous scholars and more famous generals. The reason why he approved Chun Yuqiong's request to fight was mainly out of balance considerations.
As an outstanding son of an aristocratic family, Yuan Shao has great experience in balancing. Although he has not been in Jizhou for a long time, he has perfectly guided the civil and military forces under his command and divided them into several factions. None of them can completely overwhelm their opponents and form a single family.
big situation.
Chunyu Qiong's friendship with him and his military strategy were not important factors. He was a famous scholar in Yingchuan, had many connections in the court, and was highly reliable. This was what Yuan Shao valued most about him.
The most important consideration in letting Chunyu Qiong be the vanguard is that he is very good at officialdom and can take down Han Fu's old subordinate Cheng Huan, who has low reliability, without causing too much trouble.
On that day, Yuan Shao took control of Jizhou, and Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan, who were stationed in Heyang, led their troops back to help, which almost ruined Yuan Shao's major event. Later, in order to appease people's hearts, they were temporarily let go and allowed to garrison Qinghe. But for Yuan Shao,
The existence of these two people has always been a thorn in the side.
Now that Gongsun Zan has launched a large-scale attack, people in Jizhou are in a state of flux. Many of the counties in the north are surrendering in hope. How much of this is because they are intimidated by Gongsun Zan's military power, and how much is because they are complaining about Han Fu. It is difficult to figure out.
Those counties in the north are far away and cannot affect the overall situation for the time being, but Qinghe is already in the hinterland of Jizhou, and is only separated from Wei County by Yangping County. If there is a change in Qinghe when the army is fighting, regardless of Cheng, Zhao
Whether the two of them attack the rear of the army or drive directly into Yecheng, both are quite deadly.
Yuan Shao is the most sensitive to things like conspiracies, so he will naturally not let these unstable factors exist.
It was not convenient for the generals of Jizhou to do this, so Chunyu Qiong had to take action.
As for whether to intercept Gongsun Zan at the boundary bridge, Yuan Shao didn't care at all. The plan had been laid out for so long, and all Gongsun Zan's actions were already under his control.
The opponent will not use light cavalry harassment tactics, but will only fight with the main force. Yuan Shao is quite sure of this!
Therefore, Chun Yuqiong's actions to strive for merit were completely unnecessary, but he happened to run into that damn Wang Yu again! Not only did he lose soldiers and generals, he also damaged the morale of the army. More importantly, he had no place to save his own face.
!
Thinking of this, Yuan Shao could no longer suppress his anger, and waved his hand with a cold shout: "Thank you for having the nerve to come back to see me! You and I, get this useless and shameless person out and behead him!"
The guards on both sides agreed with a loud voice. Two people came up, held down the ashen-faced Chun Yuqiong, and dragged him out, like dragging a dead dog.
"Wait a minute!"
Because Yuan Shao was so manipulative, there were many factions in the army, the two largest of which were the local faction and the foreign faction. There were many divisions within these two factions, which are difficult to describe in detail at the moment, but generally speaking, in major matters,
They can still speak to the outside world unanimously.
The one who shouted to stop was Guo Tu. Among the foreign faction, he, Feng Ji, and Xu You were the main ones. They could compete with the local faction, but in terms of military generals, there was only one Chunyu Qiong. In addition to him
The two of them were from the same hometown, so he couldn't help but show up to them regardless of their feelings or reasons.
"My lord, Zhong Jian's defeat was mainly due to his eagerness for meritorious service and fierce fighting. Victory and defeat are a common occurrence. No one thought that Wang Pengju would have a hand in it. General Chunyu's defeat was certainly due to his lack of experience in battle, but
It may not be a mistake in planning, but if the lord kills him because of this, I am afraid it will hurt the soldiers’ motivation to fight bravely!"
Most of the generals looked on with cold eyes, and it was reasonable to think that defeating the battle was really not an ordinary nonsense; but the thoughts of the counselors were much more complicated.
Feng Ji and others from the outside faction secretly praised Guo Gongze for being worthy of being Guo Gongze. He could explain so many reasons to help others, as if defeat at Wang Yu's hands was natural and justified. This is nothing, the key point is.
It's his move that eliminates and hits at the same time, it's really wonderful!
Who proposed at the military meeting to prevent the Youzhou Army's light cavalry from attacking?
Ju teaches Ju Gong and Ju!
When it comes to Tao strategy, the local faction, no, it should be said that the entire Jizhou, is headed by this person. Guo Tu and others are self-aware. They, the old people who follow Yuan Shao, are better at tactics and don't know much about military strategy.
Compared with the famous generals like Gongsun Zan and Wang Yu, even a dabbler like Chunyu Qiong can lag behind them.
Although Jushou has a strategy, he will not serve his master. Yuan Shao has always disliked this person. If Gongsun Zan hadn't been so aggressive and Wang Yu had interfered, it's really hard to say whether he would have been reused.
Guo Tu made an understatement and made a mistake in planning. It seemed that he was throwing dirty water on himself, but in fact he was pulling Jushou into the water.
Most of the generals didn't understand this section, but Ju Shou, who was such a person, immediately frowned.
Before he could think of words to use, he heard the clanging of armor under the tent, and a strong man stepped out with a roar like thunder: "Although Wang Pengju has a great reputation, he is just a man who is good at using tricks. Others are afraid of him.
But I am not afraid! My lord, there is no need to worry. I would like to ask for an arrow and lead my troops to capture him at the boundary bridge!"
His words startled everyone. When everyone followed the sound and looked anxiously, they saw that the speaker was none other than General Qu Yi.
Guo Tu frowned and was about to rebuke, but was stopped by Feng Ji. Seeing Guo Tu looking over, Feng Ji shook his head slightly. In Jizhou, Qu Yi is a very special person. His hometown is Liangzhou.
The generals have been fighting against the Qiang people for generations and have made many military exploits, so they are capable.
But in Jizhou now, he is a figure that neither side can rely on. He came to Jizhou a year earlier than Yuan Shao, so the local faction regards him as an outsider, and the outside faction regards him as a local. He is not a human being inside or outside. But this is
The person is not self-conscious, has a bad temper, and speaks very irritably.
Tian Feng's experience shows that when working under Yuan Shao, it doesn't matter if he has a low IQ, but a low EQ is fatal. Therefore, although Qu Yi was on the right team during the change of ownership in Jizhou, he cleared many obstacles for Yuan Shao, and later he
When the Southern Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo rebelled, he made great contributions, but Yuan Shao still didn't like him very much.
In normal times, Guo Tu would have scolded him, but now that the war is imminent, it is the time to employ people, and naturally it is better to do less than to do more.
Seeing Qu Yi stand up, Yuan Shao also had a headache. He didn't really want to kill Chun Yuqiong in the first place. He was just pretending to do it. When the advisers made a fuss, he would use Po Xia donkey. Who would have thought that Qu Yi would suddenly show up?
After stirring up trouble, he couldn't get off the stage.
It doesn't matter if Qu Yi takes action and loses, but if he wins or drives Wang Yu away, it would be unreasonable for him not to kill Chun Yuqiong. This is putting himself on the fire!
"I am also willing to go!" The counselors were thinking too much, so they were slow to react. Before Qu Yi finished speaking, another person appeared from under the tent. This person's words were concise and concise, but his momentum was no less than that of Qu Yi before. When Yuan Shao raised his eyes,
It was the famous general from Hejian who opened his jaw.
Zhang Zhi is a member of Miao Zhenggenhong's local sect and has a reputation for being good at fighting. In the Jizhou army, if they compare martial arts, neither he nor Qu Yi can be considered the best, but if it comes to military strategy, except for Gao Lan, they can barely compete with him.
In comparison, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others are far behind.
Seeing that it was the two of them fighting, no one among the generals stood out. It was not a good job to attack Wang Pengju with almost the same force. It was just for no reason, so why do you want to be the standout?
"You mean a trick?" Yuan Shao was reluctant to answer, but raised his eyebrows and asked Qu Yi with great interest.
"Exactly."
Qu Yi raised his head proudly and said loudly: "General Chunyu marched in a hurry all the way, and Wang Pengju deliberately left him a break. The brothers ran so fast before, but then stopped too suddenly. When they stood up again,
How can we not be dizzy and weak-footed? However, we have no choice but to trick those half-wits with little experience in the army. How can they be effective against the veteran generals in the army?"
Yuan Shao's original plan was that no matter what Qu Yi said, he would nod slightly, show his good demeanor, and then find an excuse to send this person away. But Qu Yi's ability to offend others was much better than Guo Tu's.
Although Wang Yu's trick was explained clearly, most of the people present were offended.
Especially the half-baked word, it instantly killed a large number of people, including Yuan Shao, and he was caught in it. But he didn't have any self-consciousness, and after saying it, he actually put on a proud posture.
"Your Majesty!" Jushou couldn't sit back and watch.
Qu Yi offends people everywhere, and he has no control over what will happen to him in the future, but he can't let this guy go to his death now. In the next battle, this dumb fool who can't speak will...
Extremely critical combat power.
With this person here, even if there is another Wang Yu on Gongsun Zan's side, there is nothing to fear; without this person, even if Wang Yu returns home, it is still a matter of doubt whether he can defeat Gongsun Zan. Therefore, we must not let this person
The man has now been deposed by his lord.
"The war is about to begin. It's better not to pursue the past affairs. General Chunyu was defeated, but he also had merits in suppressing the rebellion in Qinghe. The merits and demerits are balanced, so we can first let him return to Yecheng to rectify the defeated troops..."
"Well." Although Yuan Shao was very unhappy, he also knew that he could not do without Qu Yi now, so he took advantage of Ju Shou's advice to step down. "Since you are asking for mercy, I will spare him this life. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty is difficult.
Run away, drag him out left and right, and beat him with forty military sticks!"
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness! Thank you, Lord!" Chunyu Qiong cried as she was dragged out, and the tent suddenly became much quieter.
Ju Shou said again: "As for Wang Peng's son, I believe that since the war is imminent, it is not appropriate to cause more trouble. Let him be arrogant for a while. When Gongsun Zan is defeated, what can his thousand cavalry do?"
"It makes sense." Yuan Shao finally got the opportunity to show his magnanimity. With Qu Yi as a foil, he felt much more pleasing to his eyes when he looked at Ju Shu.
Looking at Qu Yi, there was a look of hesitation on his open-jawed face. Jushou quickly comforted him and said: "General Qu, General Zhang, don't be impatient. Report from the front. Gongsun Zan's troops have arrived at Jiang County. The decisive battle will be in ten days. Wouldn't it be nice to have another decisive victory on the battlefield then?"
"Here!" He opened his jaw and cupped his hands as a courtesy, not for himself.
"Who is a pioneer?" Qu Yi asked reluctantly.
Jushou sighed secretly in his heart, nodded and said: "I am the one who must be the general."
Qu Yi got the result he wanted, and laughed. He didn't notice at all how much of the glances around him were gloating about his misfortune, and how much of them were filled with pity, just like Jushou. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature. , the novel is better and updated faster!)
