After this minor turmoil, the atmosphere in the military changed subtly.
With the courage of the generals, the impact of the tragic defeat began to dissipate, and the energy and spirit of the generals in Youzhou gradually recovered.
For Wang Yu, what made him even more delighted was that the eyes of the meritorious faction headed by Shan Jing lost the previous caution and suspicion, and instead showed seven points of admiration and three points of affection. Until
At this moment, Wang Yu was truly accepted by the Youzhou Army.
The generals in Youzhou, especially the meritorious faction, are very stubborn. Even after experiencing the battle during the day, the way they looked at Wang Yu was more of pure awe than any affection.
Gongsun Zan's actions of surrendering the army and presenting horses hinted to them that with the remnants of Yiyi and Obedience as a bond, the two sides might become one without distinguishing each other, which made them re-examine their relationship.
A few clever people quickly understood what Gongsun Zan meant.
Merging the two into one will not happen in the short term. At present, the two sides are still equal allies. However, as the situation in Hebei and even the world changes, the relationship between the two sides will also change.
Thinking in the most extreme direction, if the Youzhou Army is completely defeated, the Lord may follow today's example and find a way out for everyone; and vice versa. Unless the strength of both sides has been maintained at a very close level, otherwise,
Covenants will only get closer and closer, not the other way around.
Such a relationship of sharing weal and woe is much easier to accept than Qingzhou's plot to establish Youzhou's foundation. In the fierce battle during the day, it was also proved that Wang Yu had unreservedly thought about Gongsun Zan and was always on the front line. Therefore, Shan Jing and other meritorious deeds
Pai had nothing to be dissatisfied with. They were no longer wary of Wang Yu, but regarded him as one of their own.
Once the atmosphere becomes harmonious, it becomes easier to talk about many things.
The only one who was dissatisfied was Taishi Ci. He stared at Zhao Yun, his mouth watering with envy.
"Zilong, your life is really not that good. Look at my brother and me. In terms of martial arts, I am no worse than you, right? In terms of appearance, we look like brothers. In terms of courage, I am not bad either.
But when it comes to luck, alas, there is no comparison." On the way from the camp gate to the Zhongjun tent, Taishi Ci kept talking.
He put his arm around Zhao Yun's shoulders and sighed: "My lord has obtained a strong army, you have obtained a BMW, but I am the only one who, with all my enthusiasm, has ended up with nothing. Zilong, tell me, how can you compensate me?"
Zhao Yun was a serious man. He had never seen such a battle before. He was helplessly pestered by this lazy guy. He had no choice but to reply: "Whatever Brother Ziyi wants, just say it." Seeing Taishi Ci's eyes suddenly light up, Zhao Yun quickly changed his words and made amends.
: "My little brother must be talented. If he helps with things, he must do it without violating morality..."
"Don't worry, is he that kind of person with no morals?" Taishi smiled lovingly.
With his forthright temper, even if it was just a horse, even if it was a one-of-a-kind horse, he would not be so entangled that he would embarrass his colleagues. He pretended to be a fool but was actually a drunkard who was not interested in drinking. Seeing Zhao Yun so cooperative, he was overjoyed.
, he whispered into the latter's ear.
As confidant generals, the two of them were walking not far behind Wang Yu, so naturally they could not hide this movement from Wang Yu.
Taishi Ci knew that Wang Yu had a good ear, so he kept his voice very low. Even if Wang Yu listened intently, he could only hear a few words like "Everything is under my command" and "It's fine to keep it safe."
It shouldn't be a bad thing, right? Well, the two confidants get along well with each other, so it can't be said to be a bad thing.
Wang Yu thought for a moment and felt relieved. Although Taishi Ci was fond of making trouble, he was not a careless person. When Zhao Yun came here for the first time, doing something to do would also help him integrate into the team.
After entering the Chinese military tent, both sides sat down. Gongsun Zan directly brought up the previous topic. He mused: "Xian brother, you invited me to go to the plains to rest. I thought about it again and again, and I also thought of some benefits. But if
If we want to fight again, there is something we have to worry about."
"Brother, please speak frankly."
"Strong crossbows!" Gongsun Zan said with a frightened expression, "Today's defeat, I have been thinking over and over again on the way to retreat. The Jizhou army is equipped with too many crossbows. If the Jizhou army and horses were not assembled late, there would be no time to practice.
If you are proficient, even if you don't set up any doubts and fight openly, our army may not be able to please us. If we fight again, we must take this matter into consideration."
The light cavalry bullies the weak and fears the strong. When it bullies a mob like the Yellow Turban Soldiers, it can easily beat the enemy to the point of being unable to find them. However, it is not very effective against well-equipped elite infantry.
At the final stage of the war, Gongsun Zan launched a fierce attack on the square formation of the Jizhou Army. As a result, neither cavalry shooting nor charging into the formation achieved the expected results. Instead, under the intensive attack of bows and crossbows, his own strength increased significantly.
of casualties.
After such a fierce battle, the number of Jizhou soldiers was reduced, but their cooperation and morale were greatly enhanced, and their strength increased instead of decreasing.
Under the circumstances, Gongsun Zan was not optimistic about the prospect of fighting in Pingyuan again.
"Don't forget that Qu Yi!" Shan Jing added through gritted teeth. In this battle, Wang Yu and Taishan Qingqi were the most outstanding ones on Youzhou's side, while on the Jizhou army's side, it was undoubtedly Qu Yi.
This person took action twice. The first time he withstood the fierce charge of three thousand Yi Cong; the second time was even more exaggerated. When the Chinese army was in danger, he resisted Tai Shici's pursuit and returned to aid, and then came from Wang Yu.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he saved Yuan Shao from his sword and turned the tide.
His martial arts skills are not very high. If it were one-on-one, he would definitely not be Wang Yu's opponent, but his Xiandenshishi was really too strong.
"This person should not be underestimated. After this battle, Yuan Shao will definitely entrust him with important tasks." Tian Kai was also worried, "A thousand dead soldiers have caused us such a big trouble, if this person is in charge of tens of thousands of troops,
I am afraid……"
The first person to enter the camp left a deep impression, even more so than Wang Yu. After all, Wang Yu had been famous for a long time, and no one in the world dared to doubt his bravery. Before this battle, Qu Yi was just an unknown person.
This generation is just like Xu Rong back then.
The words of Generals Shan and Tian aroused a resonance.
It should be impossible to train tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the level of a first-person soldier, but if Qu Yi takes control of the army, the soldiers he trains will definitely be much stronger than before.
With the wealth of Jizhou, the strategy of Jushu, the bravery of the generals in Hebei, and the super commanding power of Qu Yi, the next battle will probably be very difficult to fight, several times more difficult than the battle of Jieqiao!
"Brother, brothers, please listen to what Yu has to say." Wang Yu smiled faintly and said loudly: "Although Qu Yi is strong, there is still a certain gap between him and General Xu back then. What's more, judging from his character, he is in Jizhou
I’m afraid it won’t be easy to reuse…”
Qu Yi should not be as good as Xu Rong. The latter is good at commanding large armies in combat, while Qu Yi is best at small-scale attack or defense. The Xian Deng Death Soldier is an all-round soldier, and it is impossible to train too many soldiers like that.
Can only be used as a sharp knife unit.
Of course, Qu Yi may not be incompetent as the commander of the large army. If he cooperates with Ju Shou tacitly, he may not be worse than Xu Rong, but his character is destined to prevent him from being used too much.
Wang Yu has personal experience of this. In a team that pays attention to hierarchy and has a strong bureaucratic atmosphere, a person with low emotional intelligence and contempt for the rules will have a hard time getting ahead no matter how capable he is. The black gun that brought him to this era
, is the best proof.
If Qu Yi is under Cao Cao, he may need to pay attention, but the person he works for is Yuan Shao! With Yuan Shao's character, even if he pinches his nose and uses this person, it will only be temporary at most, and it is impossible to continue using him without doubt.
.
Wang Yu doesn't know what happened to Qu Yi in his previous life. In the romance novel, this person was picked and killed by Zhao Yun with one shot and did not appear in the later Guandu Battle. The experience in the novel is not enough, but since Luo Guanzhong regarded him as
If he is written as a sidekick, it means that his subsequent experiences are dispensable and cannot affect the overall situation.
For such a person, the best way is not to fight head-on, but to try to create a wedge. It would be best if you can win him over to your side. If not, you should also increase Yuan Shao's suspicion and make him destroy the Great Wall.
"I see." None of the generals in Youzhou are good at this. After listening to Wang Yu's analysis, they all felt enlightened. If we use outsmarts to solve this serious problem without spending a single soldier, we may even turn him into one of our own.
With help, the situation suddenly became clearer.
"Has your virtuous brother achieved success?" Gongsun Zan asked urgently.
"My little brother is not good at this either," Wang Yu shook his head.
Don't say that he didn't think of a way. Even if he did, he wouldn't say it in front of the Youzhou generals. These people are used to being straightforward and like to socialize with the same kind of people. If he leaves them with a sinister and cunning impression, then what happened before?
All the hard work was in vain.
"However, there are quite a few capable people in my little brother's career..." As a prince, Wang Yu didn't have to worry about this kind of thing himself. Naturally, he didn't have to bear the reputation of being cunning and cunning.
"But Jia Wenhe, who is known as a poisonous person?" Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up, and he asked and answered: "Well, if he were to take charge of this matter, there would be a great chance of success."
Not only Jia Xu, but also Tian Feng and Xu Shu, the three cobblers together can be as powerful as Zhuge Liang. How earth-shattering will be the plan these three great counselors come up with when they come together?
"With the main force stationed in the plains, the eldest brother can contain Yuan Shao nearby, so that he has no time to look around and cannot quickly stabilize Changshan, Hejian and other counties. If we can maintain the stalemate until the autumn harvest, my Qingzhou farmland will be successful, and the eldest brother will not have to worry about money and food.
As for Youzhou, if my eldest brother is worried, he can send a partial army back to stabilize the situation and recruit new troops at the same time."
Wang Yu struck while the iron was hot: "As for the crossbows of the Jizhou Army... Brother, there is no need to worry. Our Qingzhou Army will handle it when the time comes, so Yuan Shao won't take advantage."
"What did you say, good brother?" He said it so boldly that Gongsun Zan couldn't find any reason to refuse. He nodded immediately and agreed: "If Yuan Shao comes, our two families will fight side by side. How can we let good brother support it alone?
What's the truth?" With that said, he decisively ordered: "Latitude, you take five thousand infantry to station in Hejian Mansion; Guanzhubu, you take three thousand infantry back to Youzhou..."
Except for Tian Kai and Liu Bei, he sent the rest of his troops back to the north. Shan Jing went to Hejian Prefecture, Zou Dan went to Zhongshan, Wang Men guarded Changshan, and Guan Jing returned to Youzhou to recruit troops.
As Wang Yu wished, a not-so-solid battle line was opened again, officially informing the world that the situation in Hebei is far from settled. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster! )
