The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 129 Heads for food (two chapters in one)

Zhao Yun is a fierce general, brave in battle, smart and wise, and has a heart of loyalty and protection of the Lord. He can be regarded as a perfect general, a model of perfection, and any unit in the future will definitely be suitable for the selection of the six best pacesetters. Candidates.

But such an excellent man has an unknown fatal flaw
It's just that the skin is too thin to eat.

"Lack of food?"

Yuan Shang understood in his heart, showed confusion on his face, and pretended to be stupid: "It's not too short, but now we are in war and the price of food is extremely expensive. In addition to the battle of Guandu last year, our army's food and grass The luggage was damaged too badly by Cao Jun, and it was a bit out of date. So this time, my father meant that we need to save some food and fodder. Thank you, brother Zilong, for your concern, and I came here to ask about it. Good intentions, brother, I appreciate it."

"Well, I don't care about you either."

Zhao Yun seemed a little cramped, and after chattering for a long time, he finally said boldly: "I mean, my subordinates have been half-starved and half-satisfied every day these days. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny sooner or later."

Yuan Shang suddenly said "Oh", nodded and said: "So it's this matter, Brother Long, you really can't blame me for this matter. When I was in Wuji County, I was the county magistrate, the leader! What do you want to do, what do you want to do?" What to say, what to say, if you want everyone to be full, you can make everyone full, and it’s okay to lead everyone to talk about it, but now this situation is different. Now in Pingqiu, my father is commanding more than 30 soldiers Wan, all trivial matters such as the distribution of military supplies have their own decisions, and I can't allow me to overstep my authority. To be honest, I really want to add extra meals, side dishes, and small stoves to the brothers of Baima Yicong. Yes, but my current status is not good enough. Like the [-] Yuan family brothers, they are all just pawns under the command of my father's commander. How can I jump over at will? What's more, my father's way of using troops has always been It is based on fair rewards and punishments, meritorious deeds and rewards. Especially in this sensitive period, Cao Cao is about to confront our army head-on. If my father gives special preferential treatment to the white horse who has no achievements in the army, Let me ask you, how can we appease the soldiers? How can we convince them? In the future, when we are on the battlefield, how can the soldiers use their lives to kill the enemy? Brother Zilong is also a talented person, so you must understand this truth, right?"

Yuan Shang's words are well-founded, well-founded, and sincere, without any affectation.

Although Zhao Yun was displeased in his heart, it was impossible to refute the fact that the matter was true.

Yingting's face turned red and white, Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, and finally opened up the chatterbox again, saying: "I am aware of your difficulties, but if you continue like this, I'm afraid that the brothers under my command will survive until the next day." To avenge the eldest son Gongsun, I think everyone will starve to death at the beginning of next month. Without them, how can I fulfill the agreement and commitment with you? Your Yuan family is also the lord of Hebei, dominating the land of the four states , the rations of 300 people in this area are not counted?"

"Is that so?" Yuan Shang touched his chin, pondered for a while with a frowning face, and sighed: "I really don't have any solution here to help you, but there is a good way to make Bai Ma Yi through temporarily. This food crisis, I'm afraid you, Brother Zilong, won't like it."

At this moment, Zhao Yun was concerned about the food and clothing of his subordinates, so how could he be in the mood to haggle over every detail with Yuan Shang, so he hurriedly asked, "Would you like to talk about it first, but it's better than nothing!"

Yuan Shang sighed and said: "Bai Ma Yicong and our army are only in a cooperative relationship. Logically speaking, my father has no responsibility or obligation to support you eaters for nothing. But the rules are dead and people are alive, so it's not impossible. Please be aware that my father, as the lord of the four prefectures in Hebei Province, believes in the six characters the most!"

Zhao Yunying raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, "Which six words?"

"Fair, fair, or fucking fair!"

Zhao Yun was a little dumbfounded when he heard the words: "This is six words?"

"Is not it?"

"Forget it. You continue to talk."

"Since we are allies, we don't have the right to feed you in vain, but you might as well strive for yourselves, take what you have in your hands, and come to my father to buy food to support yourself, isn't that enough?"

Zhao Yun looked unhappy, and said: "Since Yijing was captured by your army, we have been wandering around Hebei for more than a year, and we have never attacked Luezhou County. Our hands are cleaner than your face. How can we buy food?"

Yuan Shang was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, touched his head in embarrassment, and said, "Thank you for the compliment, I'm actually not as innocent as you think."

"Speak the truth!"

"Oh, yes, since there is no money to buy food, the only way to exchange food is to rely on the fruits of labor. I have a job list just listed here. You can take it back and refer to it. Choose a job and work. If you do well , I guess it should be no problem to feed your three hundred people."

"Work. List?" Zhao Yun showed doubts.

But Yuan Shang picked up a bamboo slip from the table and handed it to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun took it from Yuan Shang's hand with some doubts, unfolded the bamboo slips and looked at it, his fair cheeks were suddenly blackened with anger.

"If you kill a small soldier, you will get one liter of rice; if you kill a corps leader, you will get half a meter; if you kill a senior, you will get a meter; if you kill 100 generals, you will get seven dollars; if you kill a lieutenant, you will get a stone; if you kill a general, you will get more than one captain." Official, three stones of rice; kill one general, five fat sheep; capture one general alive, four good horses; defeat one general, one horse, two sheep; beat one disabled general, five stones of grain, two pairs of weapons and armor; If you kill the enemy general, you will be exempted from board and lodging for one year; if you kill the enemy general stupidly, you will be given a beautiful woman."

Zhao Yun closed the letter heavily, glared at Yuan Shang and said, "You still want me to help you fight?"

"Wrong! It's not helping me to fight, it's labor, it's labor to support yourselves! Only labor can lead to a well-off life and create good material wealth! Brother Zilong, don't you understand this?" Yuan Shang said with an innocent look on his face. He spread his hands out, looking aggrieved.

It's no wonder that I have pointed out the way of life for others. Not only do they not appreciate it, but they doubt their own intentions. Yuan Shang feels that Zhao Yun at this time has no conscience and is a white-eyed wolf.

"Do you still remember the three chapters of our agreement?" Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and glared at Yuan Shang.

If he hadn't needed his help in finding the real culprit who murdered Gongsun Xu in the future, Zhao Yun really wanted to stab him to death with one shot.

"Of course I remember! But the premise of the three promises is that you will help me kill, but now it's different. You kill yourself for yourself and support yourself. There is nothing to be ashamed of. That's great. The working people are the most honorable."

Zhao Yun took a deep breath and said, "If I don't agree, what will happen?"

"There are no consequences, the most is starvation, labor, what you like, no one can force anyone."

Zhao Yun suddenly became angry: "Bastard! You are a scoundrel!"

Yuan Shang was a little unhappy: "What you said, oh, I'll let you do the work, and it's a scoundrel to pay you according to your work performance? I'm noble if I keep you for nothing? What logic! I found that you warriors don't talk about it. Reasonable, do you still have any concept of right and wrong in your mind? You don’t go out to inquire about it. How hard is it to find a job now? Do you still bargain with me when I do the work for you? I am so anxious that the recruitment is withdrawn, so you don’t even have to do these things ! All starved to death!"

"you"

Zhao Yun pointed at Yuan Shang, wanting to say something, but he didn't say a word.

Yuan Shangchang sighed, shook his head and said: "Brother Zilong, actually, if you think about it carefully, you are not ashamed at all. Who is our army's current enemy? That is Cao Cao! Who is Cao Cao? Clothes are traitors"

Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and only after thinking for a long time did he understand the meaning.

Shaking his head weakly, he said: "What you want to say is that you are actually a traitor under the name of a Han Prime Minister, right? But Cao Cao's incumbent is nothing more than Sikong, and my Great Han Dynasty has already deposed the Prime Minister."

Yuan Shang turned his head disdainfully: "It's all the same. It's a matter of time before he steals the prime minister's position. I'm just trying to get ahead of time today, but the point is not that. Now Cao Cao is imprisoning the emperor in Xudu, threatening the Han emperor, and slaughtering Zhongliang. His disobedience looks at the whole world, from the thighs of the court to the five-year-old children, everyone knows that you are a man with the world in mind, don't you understand? Why do you abandon the righteousness of the world for a little bit of dignity and arrogance? Regardless? And your old acquaintance Liu Bei, in order to welcome the emperor out of the cage and put the Han family in danger, he fought against Cao Cao repeatedly, and was defeated repeatedly, but he was defeated repeatedly. What a precious spirit! Don't you want to learn?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yun's expression became a little gloomy unconsciously.

Yuan Shang took advantage of the heat to strike the iron and continued: "If you are willing to help me fight Cao Cao now, one is that you have not violated the agreement in the first three chapters, it is a letter! The other is that you can help the world, and it is loyalty to rectify the Han Dynasty! Three are It is benevolence to exchange military achievements for food to support the three hundred warriors under him! Four things are worthy of the friendship between Uncle Liu Huang and you, which is righteousness! Loyalty, benevolence and trust you have everything! Why don’t you do it? Is it because of something in your heart? A bit of obsession makes you uncomfortable? Can you still not tell which is more important? General Zhao, you are a person who does great things, why do you always stick to one thing and run yourself on the tip of your horn? Seriously, don’t you think you are sick? ?”

Zhao Yun trembled when he heard the words, and stood silently for a long time, his heart was churning, his thoughts changed several times, and finally he let out a long breath, and said, "Let me think about it."

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "Tomorrow, our army and Cao Cao have made a battle agreement. If you have figured it out, remember to come to me earlier, and I will wait for you."

Zhao Yun nodded, turned around slowly, and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute, take this." Yuan Shang stopped Zhao Yun from behind, and handed him the scroll of bamboo slips that recorded the work content.

"Thank you." Zhao Yun said, raised his hand to take the scroll of bamboo slips, unfolded it again and looked at it carefully, his eyes were deep, and his heart seemed to be moved.

But after looking at it for a while, Zhao Yun's face turned dark again, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth began to tremble again.

"Shameless!" Zhao Yun yelled at Yuan Shang angrily after a long time.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shang was a little puzzled and looked at Zhao Yun in puzzlement.

But seeing Zhao Yun spread the bamboo slips in front of him, pointing to the last line on it, he said angrily, "Bastard, what does this mean!"

Yuan Shang's face suddenly turned red.

The number of words is very short, and the writing is small, but the content is very chilling.

"During the labor period, if one's own armor is damaged, one liter of rice will be fined; for one piece of armor damaged, half a bucket of rice will be fined; if one horse is killed, three rices will be fined; in addition, Party A can postpone the payment of food, fodder and supplies to Party B for one year according to the actual situation of the labor. and reserves the right of final interpretation”

****************************
On the seventh day of April in the sixth year of Jian'an, Yuan and Cao set up their first battle on the plain between the warehouses and pavilions with clear barriers.

On the plain, the north wind howled, and the sky was full of wild sand. The two sides were separated by a strong bow and faced each other from a distance, intending to fight to the death.

The plains were covered by the army array as if black clouds were pressing down on the city. Looking from the sky, there was no shade of green grass in the gaps. Among them, the horses neighed, the spears were cold, and the open space in the battlefield was scattered. There was a suffocating smell of blood, which was extremely scary.

Cao Jun's entire army is arranged in an arc, shaped like a crescent moon. Yuan Jun's peripheral troops are deployed layer by layer, with spears, bows and arrows outside, and mobile troops inside.

During the marching formation, the earth was mixed with heaven and earth!

In the midst of the horses and soldiers, the mountains and rivers are swept back!

Gold and iron horses, smoke filled Pingqiu!
The mighty water of the Yellow River reflects the ever-changing turbulent waves!

Hundreds of thousands of people stood in place after setting up their formations, silently, but the fighting spirit that was suppressed in everyone's chest seemed to burst out, swaying on the vast battlefield, changing the color of the world and making people feel ashamed. The sun and the moon screamed wildly.

Cao Cao was surrounded by all the fierce generals under his command, watching Yuan Jun in the distance coldly, and said word by word: "Hand up the flag!"

On the opposite side of the army formation, Yuan Shao seemed to have a tacit understanding with Cao Cao, and coldly ordered his subordinates: "Raise my banner!"

Among Cao Jun and Yuan Shao Jun, two blazing flags were slowly raised into the clear sky ten feet high, and on the flags were big characters flying and dancing
"Han Sikong, Cao!".

"Han Taiwei, Yuan!"

The three armies are silent, and the bad horses are silent.

Although the two sides could only vaguely see the flags in the opponent's battle formation, the golden embroidered characters on the two flags reflected in the eyes, still so dazzling, eye-catching, and shocking.

"At the beginning."

"Munde!"

The two sides were muttering to themselves almost at the same time, with complex expressions in their eyes.

Childhood best friend, young brother, I don't know when they went their separate ways, and I don't know when they parted ways.

The brotherhood can no longer exist since then, and the time can no longer turn to the previous sun and moon. All the friendship is passing away with the long river of history, and can no longer accompany the body and mind of the parties involved.

Dare to ask how high the sky is, and teach the sun and the moon to compete!
For this purpose, how much did the two heroes of the world sacrifice?
What is providence?

Perhaps in the hearts of the two of them, it is already unclear at this moment.

On Yuan Jun's flank, Yuan Shang stood in the center, on the left was the Wuji Camp led by Lu Lingqi, and on the right was the White Horse Yi Cong led by Zhao Yun.

Food is the paramount necessity of the people, and for the survival of his subordinates, Zhao Yun finally came.

Very smart decision.

Lu Lingqi looked coldly at the faintly visible flag on the opposite side, which marked the character "Cao". The right hand holding Fang Tian's painted halberd unconsciously began to tremble slightly. There was a nervousness in the panic, and even more A strong expectation.

Yuan Shang glanced at her lightly and said, "Are you nervous?"

Lu Lingqi slowly turned her gaze to him: "No."

"Don't lie, your epileptic hands have fully exposed your inner weakness."

Lu Lingqi's face instantly became unattractive.

This dead man, why can't he speak better?

"The hatred of killing one's father is irreconcilable. If it were you, you would do the same." Lu Lingqi's voice was very cold and offensive.

Yuan Shang nodded and said: "I understand, but I hope you remember that this is a battlefield full of killings. Hatred will cover your eyes and blind your mind. If you don't want to die early, you'd better not think about these things. Concentrate on fighting and killing the enemy."

Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said: "Are you concerned about me?"

Although the words were cold and harsh, there was a trace of warmth in them that made people unable to understand.

Yuan Shang's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

Seeing Yuan Shang's strange appearance, Lu Lingqi couldn't help feeling a little sad in her heart.

But she smiled freely on her face, and said: "Why are you ashamed, I'm just kidding you, you want to care about me, but this girl is not special."

"I'm not ashamed."

"I'm not ashamed, why are you blushing?"

"The war is coming, why can't we discuss something nutritious?"

"I just want to know why you are blushing?"

"You woman."

"why?"

Yuan Shang raised his head and said quietly: "Let me tell you, blushing is a precursor to increased secretion of catecholamines such as norepinephrine, are you satisfied?"

"."

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

The thundering drums interrupted the conversation between the two, but they saw Cao Jun's huge front shield suddenly spread out, and three fierce generals flew out from the center, two of them were old acquaintances of Yuan Shang and the others.

"Xu Chu!" Yuan Shang's complexion changed.

"Zhang Liao." Lu Lingqi clenched her lower lip unconsciously.

"Little Sheep!" Zhao Yun unconsciously opened his mouth.

Yuan Shang cast a very contemptuous look at Zhao Yun. How hungry must he be to say such arrogant words?
In the middle army formation, Yuan Shao smiled coldly, raised his whip and patted his thigh lightly, and said leisurely: "Fighting General? Hehe, Meng De, you underestimated me!"

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

However, there was also a drumbeat in Yuan Jun's central army, and the three generals also came out on flying horses, attacking the three generals of Cao Jun in the battlefield.

These three are senior generals under Yuan Shao's command, Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, and Han Meng.

All of a sudden, in the still quiet and subdued battlefield just now, the six generals fought fiercely, with swords and guns at the same time, causing dust to fly, and the sound of weapons clashing, shaking the eardrums of everyone in the field, the swords were like a phoenix .The spears are like rainbows, and the powerful fighting momentum attracts the attention of everyone in the field.

Zhang Jai faced Zhang Liao, Gao Lan intercepted and killed Xu Chu, the four of them were considered to be opponents, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

However, Yuan Jun's General Han Meng and another member of Cao General fought quite strenuously. After thirty rounds, they were already beyond their strength.

It came again with a vertical slash, Han Meng barely held him back, and while struggling to support, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You are so brave! How dare you report your name!"

The general's saber was rattling non-stop, and he suddenly withdrew backwards, swiping the saber again, as if sweeping away thousands of troops like a rolling mat, Han Meng couldn't help but have a chance to catch his breath, and said with a grinning grin: "Yuan Jun's traitor, you may have heard of Cao Hong's name." !"

"."

The situation on the battlefield was completely under Yuan Shang's eyes. Yuan Shang clenched his fists and whispered to Zhao Yun beside him: "The enemy general is skilled in martial arts. General Han Meng may not be able to hold on anymore. Brother Zilong , it's time for you to perform!"

Zhao Yun didn't move his horse, but looked coldly at Cao Hong who was far away, and said calmly: "This guy is good at martial arts, he should be considered a first-class general, right?"

Yuan Shang nodded when he heard the words: "Of course!"

"What's the price of a good general?"

"When you kill a sheep, you capture a horse; when you kill a sheep, you have a horse!"

Zhao Yun nodded upon hearing this, and said in a low voice, "Just wait!"

After all, with his legs clamped, the white horse under his crotch was like a shooting star, straight out of the flanking army formation, and flew towards the battlefield like flying.

Seeing Zhao Yun's white figure drifting away, Yuan Shang couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, with a helpless smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Changshan Zhao Zilong, what an awesome name, but now he is so stingy. Another good man has fallen."

Zhao Yun ran like the wind, walked like rain, and in the blink of an eye, the royal horse had arrived on the battlefield.

At this time, several more rounds had passed, Han Meng couldn't hold on any longer, but he saw Zhao Yun go up from left to right, stabbing in the air with the spear in his hand. Han Meng forced his way back and left, everyone stared in amazement at this white-armored general with a silver spear who played cards against common sense.

Han Meng lifted the saber to his chest, looked at the general in disbelief, and asked suspiciously, "Who are you? Why did you destroy my battle formation?"

Zhao Yun didn't look at him, but stared closely at the burly Cao Hong, and said flatly, "Go aside, this little fat sheep is mine."

"What?" Cao Hong and Han Meng both frowned.

It's a pity that Zhao Yun stopped answering, galloped up on his horse, and fought with Cao Hong.

Zhao Yun's lonely and tall figure stretched out under the rising sun, the silver gun in his hand was shining like a pear blossom when he waved it, without the slightest alertness or tension, there was no flaw in his body, no empty door, as if he was generously opening his arms , defenseless.

But even so, Cao Hong's saber couldn't touch him at all, he just cheered up and stood firm around his body.

It's just because these flaws and empty door are like a stream of flowing springs, gathered in one place, it becomes an unpredictable ocean. As long as he makes a little aggressive move, he will immediately set off boundless turbulent waves until he is completely engulfed.

But after more than ten rounds, Cao Hong couldn't hold on anymore.

It wasn't that he was exhausted, nor that he didn't have the strength to fight again, but in front of this white-armored general, Cao Hong's sword and strength seemed to have no use for him. Gradually passing by, I don't know how to continue fighting in a trance.

What a ghost!

In Cao Jun and Yuan Jun's formation, everyone was shocked by the sudden attack of this white-armored general. They stared at the silver spear in his hand like a ghost, and couldn't believe their eyes. .

"I still have such a general under my command?"

Yuan Shao stared dumbfounded at the majestic Zhao Yun in the distance, and said in a low voice, "Why can't I remember when I rushed out?"

"Return to the lord! He is the general under the command of the third son!"

Cao Cao on the other side was even more astonished, and hurriedly asked the left and right: "This man is very good at marksmanship, and he is a real tiger! Who is he?"

Guo Jia beside Cao Cao frowned and shook his brows lightly, saying, "I don't know, but I've never seen it before! I think it's Yuan Shao's new recruit."

Cao Cao sighed with emotion: "There are so many heroes in the four prefectures of Hebei. I can't imagine that after Yan Liang and Wen Chou, there will be such generals!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhao Yun throw the spear in his hand suddenly, looking for the gap in Cao Hong's sword, swooping down and stabbing, the speed was so fast that it only took an instant.

It was in vain for Cao Hong Yuwan to retreat, but hearing the sound of "shua", the dazzling silver spear pierced Cao Hong's shoulder along Zhao Yun's hand, and immediately blood spattered everywhere.

Zhao Yun's face remained calm, he smiled indifferently, and muttered to himself.

"The sheep are coming!"

Cao Hong's shoulder was injured, and he immediately yelled, leaned back, almost fell off the horse straight.

Cao Cao's heart tightened in the distance, and he hurriedly shouted: "Go out and save Zilian!"

Zhao Yun didn't give him a chance at all, raised his hand and shot Cao Hong in the face and stabbed it.

There was a crisp sound of "Boom!", but at some point, a saber was stabbed horizontally from the slanted stab, blocking Zhao Yun's attack.

It was Zhang Liao who was nearer, seeing that Cao Hong was in a tight spot, he feigned a shot and abandoned Zhang Jaw, and rode his horse over to rescue Cao Hong.

In Cao Jun's formation on the other side, three generals Xu Huang, Li Dian, and Le Jin had already galloped out to kill Zhao Yun.

Zhang Jaw is also coming to welcome the horse at this moment, Han Meng also rested his breath, seeing the enemy's approaching several times, they all want to help.

But he heard Zhao Yun suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, his morale was like a rainbow, his voice was like a bell, and he said a very powerful sentence, which moved everyone present.

"Don't grab it, the sheep are all mine!"

Opening his jaw, the second general Han Meng was stunned when he heard the words
Who is this silver spear general?Is there something wrong?What kind of sheep is not a sheep?
On the other side, Cao Jun's generals were also a little annoyed.

This guy is good at marksmanship and martial arts, but his words are too hurtful, how can anyone compare someone to an animal in front of the enemy, what an idiot!
Li Dian came up to Zhao Yun and said bitterly, "The thief is so arrogant! Who do you call a sheep?"

Zhao Yun's eyes were free, he waved his silver spear, pointed at everyone one by one, finally landed on Li Dian, and said slowly: "What is your position?"

Li Dian was taken aback when he heard the words, and subconsciously replied: "Lieutenant Xunlu, Li Dian is also!"

"Oh, then you're not a sheep."

Li Dian was stunned, and said, "What do you mean?"

"You're a stone of rice."
