Chapter 280: Rising Again
After this small turmoil, the atmosphere in the army has undergone subtle changes.
The general was brave, and the impact of the fiasco began to dissipate, and the spirit of the generals in Youzhou gradually recovered.
For Wang Yu, what made him even more pleased was that the eyes of the meritorious faction led by Shan Jing did not have the previous suspicion of wariness, but instead brought seven points of admiration and three points of affection. It was not until this moment that Wang Yu was truly accepted by the Youzhou Army.
The generals of Youzhou, especially the meritorious faction, are very stubborn. Even after experiencing the great battle of the day, the gaze they looked at Wang Yu was more pure awe, and there was no meaning of affection.
Gongsun Zhan's actions of giving up troops and horses hinted at them, with the remnants of righteousness as a link, and the two sides could be integrated without separating each other, which made them re-examine the relationship between the two sides.
A few clever people quickly understood what Gongsun Chan meant.
Such a thing as merging into one will not happen in the short term, and for now, the two sides are still equal allies. However, with the changes in the situation in Hebei and even in the world, 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 back for everyone; Vice versa. Unless the strength of the two sides remains fairly close at a fairly close level, the pact will only grow closer, not the other way around.
Such a relationship of sharing weal and woe is much easier to accept than Qingzhou's attempt to build a foundation in Youzhou. In the fierce battle during the day, it also proved that Wang Yu was unreservedly thinking about Gongsun Zan and always rushed to the front line, so. Shan Jing and other meritorious factions have nothing to be dissatisfied with, and they are no longer wary of Wang Yu. Instead, they see him as their own family.
As soon as the atmosphere became harmonious, many things were easy to discuss.
The only dissatisfied. Only Tai Shi Ci. He stared at Zhao Yun, and his saliva of envy was about to flow out.
"Zilong, your life is really not ordinarily good, look at my brother and me, in terms of martial arts, it's not worse than you, right? In terms of appearance, we look like brothers; I'm not bad when it comes to guts, but when it comes to luck. Alas, it can't be compared. From outside the camp gate, on the way into the Chinese military tent, Tai Shici's mouth never stopped.
He put his arm around Zhao Yun's shoulders and sighed: "The lord has a strong army, you have a BMW, only me, with enthusiasm, only ended up empty-handed." Zilong, tell me, how do you have to compensate me? ”
Zhao Yun is a serious person, who has never seen this battle. was so entangled by this lazy guy that he couldn't help it, so he replied helplessly: "Brother Ziyi just say what he wants," Seeing Tai Shici's eyes suddenly lit up. Zhao Yun hurriedly changed his words and remedied: "You have to have the little brother, if you help with things." It must not be morally ......"
"Don't worry, is that the kind of person who has no taste?" Tai Shi Ci smiled.
With his bold temper. Just a horse, even if it is a one-in-a-million divine horse, will not be entangled to embarrass his comrades. He pretended to be a drunkard who didn't mean to drink, and when he saw Zhao Yun so cooperative, he was overjoyed, and when he came to the latter's ear, he muttered.
As confidants, the two of them walked not far behind Wang Yu, and this movement naturally couldn't hide from Wang Yu.
Tai Shi Ci knew that Wang Yu had good ears, so his voice was very low, even if Wang Yu listened attentively, he only heard a few words like 'everything is under my command' and 'it's okay to keep it'.
Shouldn't that be a bad thing? Well, the two henchmen get along well, and it can't be said to be a bad thing.
Wang Yu thought about it and was relieved. Although Tai Shici loves to make trouble, he is not a person who does not know the importance of it, Zhao Yun came for the first time, and getting something to do is also conducive to his integration into the team.
After entering the Chinese military tent, the two sides sat down, Gongsun Zhan straightforwardly mentioned the previous topic, and he muttered: "Brother Xian, you invited to the plains to rest, for the sake of this, I thought about it again and again, but I also thought of some advantages, but if you want to fight again, there is something you have to worry about. ”
"Big brother, please speak up."
"Crossbow!" Gongsun Zhan had a palpitating expression, "Today's defeat, on the way to collect troops, I have been thinking about it repeatedly. There are too many bows and crossbows equipped in the Jizhou army, if it is not for the late assembly of the Jizhou army and horses, and there is no time to practice well, or there is no doubt about the formation, and the battle is dignified, our army may be difficult to please, and if you fight again, this matter must be considered. ”
The light cavalry bullied the weak and feared the hard, bullying a rabble like the Yellow Turban soldiers, and they could easily beat the other side in the north and couldn't find it. But against well-equipped elite infantry, it is not very powerful.
At the end of the war, Gongsun Chan launched a fierce attack on the Fangyuan array of the Jizhou army, but as a result, whether it was cavalry shooting or charging into battle, it failed to achieve the expected results. On the contrary, under the intensive blows of the bow and crossbow, it greatly increased its own casualties.
After such a fierce battle, the number of Jizhou soldiers has decreased, but in terms of tacit cooperation and morale, they have been greatly enhanced, and their strength has increased instead of decreasing.
Under the advantages of the other, Gongsun Zhan is very unoptimistic about the prospect of fighting the plains again.
"Don't forget that Koji!" Shan Jing gritted his teeth and added. In this battle, the most brilliant ones on the Youzhou side are, of course, Wang Yu and Taishan Light Cavalry, and the Jizhou Army is undoubtedly Lu Yi.
This person shot twice, the first time hard
The living withstood the onslaught of the three thousand righteous followers; The second time was even more exaggerated, in the precarious situation of the Chinese army, he withstood Tai Shici's pursuit and returned to help, and then rescued Yuan Shao from under Wang Yu's blade, it is not an exaggeration to say that he turned the tide.
His martial arts are not too high, if it is one-on-one, he is definitely not Wang Yu's opponent, but the first death soldier under his command is too strong.
"This person is indeed not to be underestimated, after this battle, Yuan Shao is bound to entrust him with a heavy responsibility." 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'm afraid it will be ......."
The impression left by the first camp was too deep, and it was even above Wang Yu. After all, Wang Yu has been famous for a long time, and no one in the world dares to doubt his bravery, and before this battle, Lu Yi was just a nameless, just like Xu Rong that day.
The words of Shan and Tian Erjiang caused a resonance.
It should be impossible to train tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the level of the first dead soldiers, but if Lu Yi takes charge of the authority of the army, the trained soldiers will definitely be much stronger than before.
The wealth of Jizhou, the strategy of frustration, the courage of the generals of Hebei, coupled with the super command of Lu Yi, the next battle may be very difficult to fight, and it is several times more difficult than the battle of Jieqiao!
"Big brother, brothers, and listen to Yu's words." Wang Yu smiled faintly and said loudly: "Although Lu Yi is strong, there is still a certain gap from General Xu that day, not to mention, looking at his character, he may be uncomfortable in Jizhou......"
Lu Yi should not be as good as Xu Rong, who is good at commanding large armies in battle, while Lu Yi is best at small-scale attack or defense. The first soldier is an all-round soldier, and it is impossible for such a soldier to be trained too much, so it can only be used as a sharp knife unit.
Of course, as the commander of the big army, Lu Yi may not be impossible, if he cooperates with Fu Zhi tacitly, he may not be worse than Xu Rong, but his character is destined to make him impossible to be used too much.
Wang Yu has a personal experience of this. In a hierarchical and bureaucratic team, people with low emotional intelligence and contempt for the rules will find it difficult to get ahead, even if they have the ability. The black gun that sent him to this era is the best proof of this.
If Lu Yi is under Cao Cao's hands, he may need to pay attention, but it is Yuan Shao who is working hard for him! With Yuan Shao's character, even if he pinched his nose and used this person, at most it would be temporary, and it would be impossible to use it without suspicion.
Wang Yu didn't know what the ending of Lu Yi in his previous life was, in the romance novel, this person was picked and killed by Zhao Yun with one shot, and he didn't appear in the later Guandu War. The experience of the novel is not enough to rely on, but since Luo Guanzhong wrote him as a trick, it shows that his later experience is dispensable and cannot affect the overall situation.
For such a person, the best way is not to fight hard, but to try to get a wedge. It is best to envelop him under his command, and if he can't, he will also exacerbate Yuan Shao's suspicion and make him destroy the Great Wall.
"I see." No one in Youzhou is good at this, and after listening to Wang Yu's analysis, they all have a feeling of being stunned. If you use the method of outwitting, solve this big problem without spending a single soldier, and even turn him into your own help, then the situation will suddenly become clearer.
"Has the virtuous brother already made a calculation?" Gongsun Chan asked anxiously.
"The younger brother is not good at this," Wang Yu shook his head.
Don't say that he didn't think of a way, even if he thought of it, he wouldn't say it in front of the generals in Youzhou, these people are used to going straight, and they like to associate with the same kind of people. If you give them the impression of being insidious and cunning, then your previous efforts will be in vain.
However, in the curtain of the younger brother, there are quite a few capable people who ...... "As a prince, this kind of thing doesn't have to worry about Wang Yu himself, and this insidious and cunning reputation naturally doesn't have to be borne by himself."
"But Jia Wenhe, who is known as a poisonous man?" Gongsun Zhan's eyes lit up, and he asked himself: "Well, if he presides over this matter, he has a great chance of success." ”
Not only Jia Xu, but also Tian Feng and Xu Shu, the three stinkers, together can top Zhuge Liang, these three strategists get together, how earth-shattering will the plan they discuss?
"The eldest brother is stationed in the plains with the main force, and he can contain Yuan Shao nearby, so that he has no time to look around, and he can't quickly settle Changshan, Hejian and other counties. If we can hold each other until the autumn harvest, my Qingzhou Tuntian will be successful, and my eldest brother will not have to worry about money and food. As for Youzhou, if the eldest brother is worried, he can send a partial division back to stabilize the situation and recruit new troops at the same time. ”
Wang Yu hit the railway while it was hot: "As for the bow and crossbow of the Jizhou army...... Big brother doesn't need to worry, when the time comes, I will have my Qingzhou army to deal with it, and it will not let Yuan Shao take advantage. ”
"What did Brother Xian say?" He said so boldly, Gongsun Zhan couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he immediately nodded and admitted: "If Yuan Shao comes, my two families are fighting side by side, how can there be a reason for the virtuous brother to support him alone?" As he spoke, he decisively ordered: "Latitude, you bring five thousand foot soldiers to enter Hejian Mansion; Guan Zhu, you take 3,000 foot soldiers back to Youzhou......"
In addition to Tian Kai and Liu Bei, he sent the rest of the generals back to the north, went to Hejian Mansion alone, Zou Dan went to Zhongshan, Wangmen guarded Changshan, and Guan Jing returned to Youzhou to recruit troops.
As Wang Yu wished, a not-so-solid front was opened again, officially informing the world that the situation in Hebei was far from the moment when the dust settled. (To be continued)
