The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 243
"General Li, please tell me."

"Qu'er is four years old this year. I want to find a teacher for him to teach them how to read and write. Mr. Pang has learned a lot. I wonder if he would like to be Quan'er's teacher?"

Mr. Pound hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and agreed, "Well, since General Li thinks highly of me so much, I will agree to this matter."

Li Yuan was overjoyed when he heard the words. He didn't expect Mr. Pang De to agree so easily. You must know that Mr. Pang De's talent and learning are no less than Sima Hui's. If he can teach him personally, Chen'er and Fei'er will definitely learn a lot of skills.

Li Yuan asked Li Chen and Li Fei to come out to worship Master Pound. In ancient times, it was a very solemn thing to worship a teacher. It required three knees and nine knocks. As the saying goes, one day is a teacher and a life is a father. In ancient times, a teacher was equivalent to a father.

Not long after Li Yuan met Pang Degong, he made him the teacher of Li Chen and Li Fei. It can be seen that he valued Pang Degong's talent and learning, and more importantly, he trusted him.

"Hahahaha, congratulations on accepting two apprentices." Sima Hui was also happy for Mr. Pang De. Li Chen and Li Fei had special identities. Worried about being retaliated by Liu Bei, because Liu Bei has never taken advantage of Li Yuan.

After finishing his apprenticeship, Li Yuan decided to teach Li Chen and Li Fei martial arts when he was six years old. After all, the children are still young, so they can't let them learn too many things at once, otherwise they will be self-defeating. Instead of becoming geniuses, they will become Mediocrity, children should still have their own childhood.

As soon as Li Yuan sent Sima Hui and Pang Degong away, Xi Zhicai came to him. From today onwards, Li Yuan's peaceful life will come to an end.

"Zhicai, do you have something important to do with me?" Seeing Xi Zhicai's hurried look, Li Yuankou asked.

"My lord, news came from Yan Xiang from Liaodong that Gongsun Zan was defeated and died!" Xi Zhicai said while panting.

"What? Gongsun Zan is dead?!" Li Yuan was surprised, "Didn't I already arrange for him to retreat to Liaodong to rely on Gongsundu temporarily, and then take a boat from Liaodong to Lujiang? How could he be defeated and die? Could it be that Yuan Shao is so powerful that he doesn't even have a chance to escape?"

"My lord, that's not the case. A few days before Gongsun Zan's defeat, Yan Xiang still had correspondence with him, and Yan Xiang had already informed Gongsun Zan that Gongsun Du was ready to meet him in Liaodong, but Gongsun Zan still didn't show up in the end. According to Yan Xiang Said that Gongsun Zan had a chance to escape, but he did not escape, but chose to kill himself." Xi Zhicai showed Yan Xiang's letter to Li Yuan to read.

Li Yuan took it over and looked at it, and couldn't help sighing: "I didn't expect that Gongsun Zan had guarded Beiping for many years and defeated countless foreign invaders, but in the end he ended up committing suicide. What a pity."

For the big man, Gongsun Zan was an absolute hero, but he did not die at the hands of foreigners, but at the hands of "his own people". It has to be said that this is the tragedy of the times.
"Gongsun Zan had a chance to escape, but instead of escaping, he chose to kill himself. Perhaps it was because he had seen his end clearly. He fought countless battles all his life, and he knew that even if he escaped, it would be difficult to make a comeback. It would be better to kill himself than to live. Xi Zhicai felt sorry for Gongsun Zan.

"What about his sons?"

"I heard that he has also died in battle."

"Gongsun Zan committed suicide for this reason. Seeing his son die in battle, he probably doesn't want to live anymore." Li Yuan shook his head. He died in battle, shrouded in horse leather. Even Gongsun Zan, who shocked Beiping, would end up like this in the end. Li Yuan didn't know Will I also become like this? War is so cruel and ruthless, but if you want to end the war, you can only continue to fight and create a peaceful and prosperous world.

"Master, Gongsun Zan is dead, and Yuan Shao will probably go south." Xi Zhicai reminded Li Yuan that now is not the time to sigh. The reason why he told Li Yuan that Gongsun Zan was defeated in such a hurry is to let Qiyuan know that Yuan Shao is likely to fall. Go south as hard as you can.

"If my guess is correct, Yuan Shao has already started to prepare for the war going south. This year at the earliest, and next year at the latest. Once his army of more than [-] goes south, Cao Cao will bear the brunt of it. He will definitely do his best to deal with Yuan Shao." This year has been the fourth year of Jian'an, and Li Yuan knows Yuan Shao The trip to the south happened within one or two years, "Zhicai, immediately call all civil servants and military generals to the governor's mansion to discuss military affairs, and our army will also start preparing for war!"

"Yes, my lord!" Xi Zhicai took the order and left.

An hour later, Li Yuan and the important civil servants and generals under his command discussed military affairs in the Governor's Mansion.

"Today there is news from Liaodong that Gongsun Zan has been defeated and died, and Yuan Shao is about to go south. I wonder if our recruits have been trained?" Li Yuan has been training recruits for the past three years and constantly improving food, hoping that every soldier All can grow rapidly and become elite soldiers.

"Brother, the recruits of the Flying Cavalry Army are already proficient in archery and horseback riding, and are familiar with riding and shooting. Although they are not as experienced as the veterans, they will definitely not be inferior to the veterans in terms of combat effectiveness as long as they practice on the battlefield." Zhao Yun came out and said.

"Well, very good. I have always had confidence in the Flying Cavalry Army." Li Yuan was satisfied, and then looked at Li Tong, Tai Shici and Zhang Xiu, "How are the recruits from the infantry battalion trained?"

Li Tonghui reported: "My lord, the first infantry battalion has already been prepared, and the second and third battalions also have quite good combat effectiveness."

"Ziyi, your second battalion is full of newly recruited soldiers. Are you sure they are ready to go to the battlefield?" Li Yuan was more worried about the second infantry battalion led by Tai Shici, the first battalion led by Li Tong and Zhang Xiu. All the soldiers of the third battalion had been on the battlefield, but the second battalion had no combat experience at all, so Li Yuan was so concerned.

Tai Shici clasped his fists and said, "My lord, you can rest assured. Although none of the soldiers under my command have ever been on the battlefield, my usual training for them is not as easy as that of other barracks, and even stricter. My lord, just send us to fight."

"That's good." Li Yuan nodded, and then asked Gao Shun, "Gao Shun, have all the members of the camp under your command been equipped?"

"Yes, my lord, the eight hundred soldiers of the trapped camp have already been equipped. I am very grateful for the armor that the lord has built for us." Gao Shun thanked, without Li Yuan's strong support, it would be impossible for him to train the trapped camp.

"I don't need to say more if I'm grateful. I have worked so hard to create equipment for you because I believe in the strength of you and the camp. I hope that you will not be disappointed in your performance in the future."

"My lord, you can rest assured that the final general will not let you down."
