The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 158
The messenger hesitantly took Yuan Shang's message and left without taking a cloud.

Although he doubted whether Yuan Shang's words could give Sima Yi encouragement or make him continue to be depressed, but since the lord said it himself, he had to convey it.

Watching the messenger gradually walk out of the hall and disappear at the end of the corridor, Yuan Shang couldn't help showing a smile.

Qingzhou is pacified, Sima Yi returns, and everything will be on the right track again.

The next step is to truly enter the development stage of recuperating and training troops and horses.

With the solid foundation of the four provinces in Hebei, Yuan Shang believes that within three years, he will definitely be able to build a prosperous kingdom of heaven and a heroic army that can surpass all the lords and generals in the world!

The road to pacify the world begins here!
Yuan Shangzheng was thinking happily, when suddenly there was a sound of anxious footsteps, Ju Shou rushed into the hall with a face full of anxiety, cupped his hands at Yuan Shang hastily, and said: "My lord, something is wrong, Lu Kuang sent someone to send an urgent letter, Our army is in peace

When the counties and counties of Qingzhou were settled, in Pingyuan County, they encountered stubborn fools who resisted to the death. General Wang Zhao was captured alive, General Lu Xiang was injured, and the army was defeated. Now they are stationed thirty miles outside Pingyuan City. Ma Kuaibao, please speed up, my lord

Send troops to the rescue! "

"Lu Xiang was injured and Wang Zhao was captured?" Yuan Shang looked at Ju Shou in surprise, and said in disbelief, "How many men and horses are there in Pingyuan City? How can they be so fierce?"

After a pause, he continued, "They don't know how to eat fast-growing chicken."

"."

When I was young, I saw Ju Shou sighed, his complexion became flickering: "As I expected, there are only a few thousand soldiers and horses in Pingyuan City, and there are only ten soldiers, and most of them are those who have not been in battle for a long time. Logically, it is fundamental can't be bigger than me
rivaled by the army. "

Yuan Shang slapped the table heavily, his face twitched, and he said angrily: "1 people can't beat a few thousand people, what a fool! Wang Zhao, this bastard, he must have been hypocritical and let the water go on purpose!"

When Ju Shu heard the words, he smiled bitterly and sighed, "It should be impossible. No one would let the water go to the point of being captured alive. There must be another accident."

"What accident?"

Jushou stroked his beard and sighed: "According to the messenger who came to ask for help, there was a young general in Pingyuan City who was good at wielding a long ring knife. Array, it's amazing! No
But the most puzzling thing is that the young general is commanding a pro-army, not only the combat power is extraordinary, but also the strong crossbow in his hand is very exquisite, just like back then."

"What was it back then?" Yuan Shang asked curiously.

"It looks like the fine crossbow in the hands of Xianjian in the past."

"."

******************
Not to mention that Wang Zhao was captured and news of Lu Xiang's injury was reported back to Linzi City, but it was said that at this time, in the Pingyuan City Lord's Mansion, wine and meat were fragrant, singing and dancing, and a rich celebration banquet was already set up to celebrate the first battle of Pingyuan Mansion. achievement.

Qingzhou Biejia Wang Xiu and the prefect Huang Kang were all happy, each holding a wine cup and toasting to the meritorious mansion.

The government chief did not refuse, and drank it first, showing his boldness.

Wang Xiu put down his wine cup, cupped his hands at Pingyuan Fucheng, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is young, but you are very capable. Not only did you capture Wang Zhao alive, but you also defeated the general of Jizhou, Lu Xiang. You are really a good man in the world." Only!

Inquire carefully about your origin, but who is Fu Cheng's teacher? "

Fu Cheng smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said: "Don't say goodbye to the king. My surname is Guo Minghuai, from Yangqu, Taiyuan. In the first year of Jian'an, Xiaolian was appointed as an official in Pingyuan. He is also a captain and is in charge of the drill.
As for the matter of soldiers and horses, as for the family teacher, Wang Biejia must also recognize that he was the white horse righteous follower who defeated the Xiongnu Shan Yufulo in the past and defeated Gongsun Zan in the two battles at Jieqiao and Baoqiu. "

When Wang Xiu heard the words, the wine cup in his hand fell onto the table with a bang. He looked at Guo Huai in disbelief and said, "Could it be that your teacher is Jincheng Quyi?"

Guo Huai nodded lightly, and said, "The master is nothing to talk about, he is just a teacher and a friend."

Wang Xiu suddenly realized: "No wonder I saw more than a thousand bows and crossbows under the command of Guofu Cheng during the day, which is quite similar to that day when Marshal Qu went to the camp first! Only Marshal Qu can train the strong crossbows who go to the camp first. , I don't want Guo Fucheng today
If Qu Shuai has learned the method, if there is one under the spring, he should be able to rest in peace. "

Guo Huai smiled, shook his head and said: "The so-called first camp is just a camp of strong crossbows. Every day, everyone can form a camp. There is nothing special about it. It is just the camp of Gong Gong's crossbow. The reason why it is famous all over the world Everywhere
However, the secret lies on the crossbow! "

Wang Xiu immediately became interested when he heard the words, and hurriedly said, "What is the difference between the crossbow in the camp and his crossbow?"

Guo Huai raised his head and took a sip of the wine, and said: "The crossbows used by the princes of the world today are all one-shot at a time, and the range can reach more than 230 steps. .and first
The crossbow used for boarding the camp was created by Mr. Qu under the guidance of an expert in the past, and after many years of research and development. The crossbow is three feet long and the string is two feet long. , the iron is the machine, the hemp rope is one finger, the fine silk is the string,
The shooting range can reach up to more than 330 steps, and the crossbow is flat, long and wide, and can shoot three arrows concurrently!This crossbow is exquisitely crafted, and is different from ordinary crossbows, unless it is a master, it is very difficult to imitate. "

When Wang Xiu heard the words, he suddenly realized, and said: "It turns out that the advantage of being the first to enter the camp is not the bravery of the soldiers, but the superiority of the weapon. Guo Fucheng's ability to rebuild the camp first must have obtained the method of making crossbows from Marshal Qu, right? "

Guo Huai nodded slightly when he heard the words, and said with a light smile: "I have a little understanding, but I can't compare to Duke Qu, I am ashamed."

Wang Xiu nodded. In addition to the shock in his heart, he couldn't help but think of one more thing, and then asked: "Dare to ask Guo Fucheng, why did you and Shuai Qu formed such a teacher-friendship?"

Guo Huai's expression changed, he shook his head, and sighed, "Wang Biejia forgive me, please forgive me and I can't tell you about it."

Wang Xiu's expression became a little unhappy when he heard the words.

But seeing that the county magistrate Huang Kang was quite discerning, he hurried out to change the topic and smooth things over: "Don't drive, we first captured Wang Zhao, and then defeated Lu Xiang. I'm afraid the one from Jizhou will definitely not be good at it Gan Xiu, soldier

It is a matter of time before the situation is overwhelmed, and it is important for us to think of a way out early. "

The one from Jizhou was referring to none other than Yuan Shang.

Wang Xiu's face tightened instantly, and he glanced at Huang Kang with a half-smile but not a smile, and said, "According to the intention of the magistrate Huang, how should I leave this retreat for myself?"

Huang Kang's face turned serious, and he hurriedly said: "Using thousands of soldiers in one city to resist millions of people in four prefectures is really a way of seeking death. It is really not advisable! In today's battle, Guo Fucheng captured Wang Zhao, defeating Lu Xiang, is already a full blow to the one in Jizhou.

I have shown my strength in Pingyuan, and I already have the qualifications for promotion. Next, Huang predicts that the one in Jizhou will send someone to recruit us again.

use."

Huang Kang's words, in terms of emotion and reason, public and private, are all good words of gold and jade, which are very in line with reality.

But at this moment, Wang Xiuyu is loyal to Yuan Tan, and he resents Yuan Shang's unreasonable attack on Qingzhou, so An Ken can easily belong?
But seeing Wang Xiu suddenly throw the wine cup in his hand on the ground, he said angrily: "Magistrate Huang, how can you say that there is no father and no king! We are going to guard this city today for the foundation of Yuan Qingzhou. How can we go there?" Surrender Yuan Xianfu that villain? Such a traitor
Don't bring up the inverse thing in the future!Otherwise, don't blame me for not being a colleague! "

Huang Kang was stunned when he saw this, what's the situation?
Although everyone is subordinate to Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang is the successor appointed by the old lord before his death. The innocent and upright lord of Jizhou was originally his subordinate. Why did he become a rebel after voting for him?

Huang Kang opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw Wang Xiu's unreasonable face, he couldn't continue with the words.

To reason with unreasonable people is really unreasonable.

Seeing Huang Kang's obedient, low-browed acceptance, Wang Xiu's heart was slowly relieved, and he turned to Guo Huai and said: "Guofu Cheng obeys orders. Come on, it's up to you
In the front, guard Pingyuan City and fight Yuan Shang'er to the end!To repay Yuan Qingzhou's past kindness! "

"promise."

Well, let's take the lead, skip Huang Kang and start ordering his people.

Huang Kang's bowed head instantly became a little livid, and his eyes that seemed to be silent on weekdays became cold and terrifying at the moment.

The world is so big that only the power and power tie people up. When a person's power is unreasonably occupied by others, this person will be divorced from reality, fall into madness, and do some unexpected things.

It's a pity that Wang Xiu didn't see the gloomy face of Huang Kang with his head down.

Inside the small plain city, turbulent and boiling waves began to appear.
****************
A few days later, Yuan Shang personally led his elite troops to Pingyuan City.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses surrounded the plain city, making it watertight.

Birds, however, are more difficult to come out of.

After setting up the camp, Yuan Shang led Tian Feng and Ju Shuo to the front of the formation, looked around Pingyuan City carefully, checked the terrain, and made a plan to break the city.

"The city isn't very big, and the terrain isn't very dangerous. If you get aggressive, you should be able to knock it down in two hours." Yuan Shang touched his chin and turned to ask Tian Feng Ju's opinion.

Tian Feng also nodded when he heard the words, and said: "How can a mere plain city compete with my entire four states? If you want to fight, you will definitely be defeated. It's just a waste of money and food. It's not worth it. It's better to let the old man Go to town and say,

Huang Kang, the county magistrate of Zhuo Pingyuan, went out of the city and surrendered, which was the best policy. "

Ju Shou's words are also in line: "Yuan Hao's words are correct. The reason why Huang Kang wants to fight our army is not because he is loyal to Yuan Tan, but because he wants to raise his own status in order to get the lord's attention. The lord might as well give him a chance." , by the way
Recovering the good man from the Fucheng will also be a big help in the future. "

Yuan Shang deeply praised the words of the two, and said: "The two gentlemen's words are reasonable, but I'm afraid it's a bit dangerous for Mr. Tian to say it in person? What if we are detained?"

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "No, they don't have the guts. The old man has been restless for a long time, and he is also flustered when he is idle. You might as well go through this and do this trivial matter for the lord."

Yuan Shang hesitated when he heard the words, and said: "Mr. Tian, ​​a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. If the prefect of Pingyuan does not follow the rules and plays cards according to the rules, he will take you as a hostage, so that our army will be tied up and dare not attack the city." , wouldn't it be bad?

"

Tian Feng laughed loudly when he heard the words, shook his head and said: "The old man Huang Kang has met several times in the past, he is cowardly and does not take responsibility, and he would not dare to detain the old man if he did so, my lord. don't worry about getting old

Husband's life, just send troops to attack the city! "

After saying this, he laughed and headed back to camp.

Yuan Shang looked at Tian Feng's back, let out a long sigh of relief, and said to himself, "That's it. With his words, I won't be able to sleep because of guilt."

Ju Shou's eyelids twitched when he heard it, and he said in surprise: "My lord, if Yuan Hao is really detained, don't you really plan to abandon him to attack the city?"

"Ah? Who said that, do I have the word villain carved on my face? It's funny."

Ju Shou stared at Yuan Shang for a while, then shook his head and said, "No engraving."

"Mr. Ju has good eyesight."

"Because you are just that, you don't need to engrave, so why bother with superfluous?"

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard the words: "Mr. Ju really speaks uprightly and bluntly. What do you say, it is admirable! Thank you for being so direct."

"Young master has praised it, and this has always been the case."
