Chapter 1090: The Hebei Army Goes Again
The soldiers of the Yuan army on the school field looked at each other one by one, but no one responded to Yuan Xi.
Looking around at Yuan Jun, who was pressed into pieces, Yuan Tan turned his head to look at Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, and asked them, "What do you two think should be done with this matter?" ”
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang didn't intend to get involved in this matter, and watched how Yuan Tan dealt with it, but they didn't expect that he didn't directly say his thoughts, but kicked the ball to them.
The Yamen general's prostitution in the army should be beheaded, but it is not a trivial matter to kill a Yamen general, and it will definitely reach Yuan Shao's ears afterwards.
As for what Yuan Shao thinks, it is really difficult for the Yuan brothers to guess.
If it was before Guandu, the Yuan brothers would have expected that when they encountered this kind of thing, Yuan Shao would definitely make an example.
But in today's Hebei, there is a lack of training for soldiers, and it is even more difficult to select officers, killing a tooth general......
Facing Yuan Tan's question, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang glanced at each other, and both of them showed a hesitation on their faces.
After a slight groan, Yuan Shang clenched his fists and said to Yuan Tan: "Brother, those who proclaim prostitution in the army should be killed!" ”
"Then I will rely on the third brother!" Yuan Tan was waiting for Yuan Shang to say such a thing, and he also made a plan in his heart, to kill this tooth gate general as an example, but he was a little worried that Yuan Shao would blame, so he didn't make a decision, as soon as Yuan Shang said it, he would climb up along the pole, take over the conversation, and shouted to the guards behind him: "Drag this pair of men and women down and cut them off!" ”
"The general spares his life!" Yuan Tan gave the order to kill the tooth keeper and the woman, and the tooth keeper and the woman were both frightened and their legs went weak, and they cried and begged together.
Yuan Tan ignored their pleas and waved his hand at the guards who were holding them.
A group of guards escorted the two of them, and soon dragged them down from the high platform.
Dragged by the guards, the tooth keeper and the woman were still crying and crying, shouting and begging Yuan Tan to spare their lives.
The guard didn't drag them too far, but just under the school grounds, they fell to the ground, picked up their swords, and cut off their heads.
The soldiers of the Yuan army on the school field, seeing the tooth keeper and the woman being killed, all opened their eyes and were full of worry.
Since joining the Yuan army, the soldiers have neglected training on weekdays and have long developed a lazy style.
There is not only one general who proclaims prostitution in the barracks, but almost everyone with some official ranks has done this kind of thing, but they have not been bumped into by the Yuan brothers.
"Set out in two days, in these two days, you wait for the training of good students, don't waste it!" With a cold face, he looked around at the soldiers on the school field, Yuan Tan dropped such a sentence and turned around and got off the high platform.
Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang followed closely behind him, got off the high platform, turned over and jumped on their horses, and left the barracks surrounded by a team of guards.
When the Yuan brothers left, a group of Yuan soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, gathered the bodies of the Ya Gate General and the woman, found a nearby location, and hastily buried them.
The news of Yuan Tan's killing of the tooth goalkeeper quickly reached Yuan Shao's ears.
Knowing that the brothers had entered the barracks and had not done anything, they had killed a tooth keeper, and Yuan Shao was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he said leisurely to the person who reported the news: "I already know, you can go!" ”
The person who reported to Yuan Shao answered and left the room.
When the person who arrived at the news left, Yuan Shao stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the silver-covered world outside the window, as if he had suddenly aged a lot.
The Hebei army, how majestic it was back then, conquered Gongsun Zhan, although it was the Luoyang army that year was in the lead, and the Hebei soldiers were also brave.
But now, the Yamen general will be prostituted in the barracks, and the soldiers are lax in training, how can such a large army be the opponent of Cao Jun!
Faintly, Yuan Shao had a feeling that he felt that this expedition, I was afraid that the Hebei army would not be able to get too many benefits from the Cao army, and would even be defeated in a battle.
If the army is defeated, the family business he has worked hard to accumulate, as well as the hegemony that he has worked hard for a long time, will be handed over to Cao Cao.
After all, Yuan Tan and the others were young and vigorous, and although the brothers and sisters had different intentions, they had a common idea, sending troops to attack Cao Cao, first capturing Chen Liu, and then attacking Xu Du.
The two-day deadline came quickly, and early in the morning, the Yuan brothers and their wife went to Yuan Shao's place to resign.
After saying goodbye to Yuan Shao, the brothers went to the barracks again, surrounded by the guards.
Perhaps it was Yuan Tan's last killing of the Yamen general that had an effect, and when they arrived outside the barracks, the Yuan brothers saw the Yuan army at the Yamen in a neat queue from a distance, which was actually more neat than the Yuan army's barracks before Guandu.
Seeing this scene, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang glanced at each other, and from their respective eyes, they all saw a trace of satisfaction.
Riding a horse, as soon as he entered the barracks, a partial general ran over.
When the general arrived in front of Yuan Tan and the others, he hugged his fists and bowed down to the servants and said, "Three sons, the army is already waiting in the school field!" ”
The guards at the gate were neatly organized, and the brothers didn't think anything was wrong, but before they entered the barracks, the army was already waiting in line, which was really a bit strange.
"Oh?" With a slight frown, Yuan Xi asked the general, "Why is the army already waiting in the school yard before we have arrived?" ”
was stunned by Yuan Xi's question, and the general hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed, not daring to say more.
Within two days, it is impossible for the battle formations and queues of the army to be trained in order.
After the departure of the Yuan brothers, the generals in the barracks decided to send people to closely monitor the movements of Yuan Tan and others in the past two days, and once they found out that they were going to the barracks, the army would immediately make preparations.
The generals thought carefully, but they didn't expect that they had gone too far, and they were seen through by the Yuan brothers at a glance.
The general who was standing in front of the Yuan brothers' horses with his fists hugging his fists didn't dare to say anything, looking down at him, Yuan Tan waved his hand and said, "That's it, lead me to the school field!" ”
After Yuan Tan's words, the general hurriedly responded as if he had been amnestied, and stood sideways to the side.
Yuan Tan and the others rode horses, prejudice walked beside them, and before they arrived at the school field, everyone saw that the school field was already full of soldiers of the Yuan army.
Although they knew that the Yuan army in the barracks had made preparations in advance, Yuan Tan and the others were still quite satisfied in their hearts.
Kill the tooth keeper in order to let the soldiers know what military discipline is.
Yuan Jun's training was too sparse, and it was completely impossible to see what they wanted them to do in two days.
can let the soldiers know to obey military discipline, this team is on the battlefield, and there may be a glimmer of hope.
When they arrived at the high platform of the school field, Yuan Tan and the others turned over and got off their horses and jumped on the high platform in stride.
With his hand on the hilt of the sword, standing on the edge of the high platform, looking around at the soldiers of the Yuan Army who were pressed by the black pressure on the school field, Yuan Tan nodded and shouted with great satisfaction: "Okay!" Very good today! ”
After receiving Yuan Tan's praise, Yuan Jun on the school field all straightened their chests, and stared at the young general who was about to lead them to the battlefield.
Looking around at the soldiers, Yuan Tan's brows furrowed slightly, and he shouted loudly: "In the battle of Guandu, tens of thousands of good men in Hebei Province were killed for Cao Cao, including many brothers and relatives such as you!" ”
Of the 70,000 Yuan troops on the school ground, many of them had brothers or relatives who died on the battlefield of Guandu, and when they heard Yuan Tan's shout, they all straightened their chests a lot, and when they looked at Yuan Tan, their eyes also rose with a strong fighting spirit.
From the eyes of the nearby soldiers, Yuan Tan saw that his words had aroused the common hatred of the soldiers against Cao Jun, and then shouted: "We are waiting to go out to defeat Cao Cao and avenge the soldiers who died on the battlefield of Guandu!" ”
As he shouted, Yuan Tan had already raised his arms high, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Avenge the soldiers who died on the battlefield of Guandu!" Yuan Tan raised his arm, and Yuan Xi, who was standing behind him, also raised his arm high and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Break through Xu Du and kill Cao Cao!" Yuan Shang also raised his arms and shouted loudly.
The shouts of the brothers and servants inspired the soldiers of the Yuan army present, and all the Yuan soldiers raised their arms holding swords and shouted in unison: "Take revenge!" Avenge! ”
Yuan Jun's shouts were like a rainbow and shook the sky, and even on the streets near the barracks, the people listened to their shouts very clearly.
"Let's go!" Putting down his arms and looking around at the soldiers of the Yuan army, Yuan Tan knew that the morale had been boosted by him and his two brothers, and it was useless to continue to say anything, so he waved his hand and gave the order to go out.
Tens of thousands of Yuan troops marched out of the barracks, lined up in a not very neat procession, along the streets of Yecheng, in the direction of the city gate.
70,000 Yuan troops, under the leadership of the Yuan brothers, headed towards the city gate, and the people in the city walked out of their homes one after another, watching this army embark on a journey along the streets.
The people watched Yuan's army go on the expedition, and many of them had heavy worries on their faces.
The first battle of Guandu left an indelible shadow in the hearts of the entire Hebei people.
The 300,000 army went out to fight and returned to Yecheng, but it was only 800 people!
Although the army in front of him is quite numerous, it is much thinner than the army of 300,000 people that day.
Seeing this army marching towards the city gate, the eyes of the people of Yecheng were a little desolate.
No one spoke, and there was no movement in the streets, except for the sound of the soldiers walking on the ground.
Leading the army, walking along the street to the city gate, getting closer and closer to the city gate, the Yuan brothers and their family, from afar, saw a canopy erected inside the city gate.
On both sides of the canopy, there were two rows of staff and generals under Yuan Shao's command, and it was Yuan Shao who personally came to march for the army!
Seeing Yuan Shao's canopy, Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi, and Yuan Shang all turned over and jumped off the horse, and walked towards Yuan Shao, who was sitting under the canopy.
