The Yuan Family of the Three Kingdoms I call the shots

Chapter 310 Prevention

In the commander's tent, Yuan Shang wanted to reward Yan Xing and Pang De heavily, commending them for killing Cao Chun, and in one fell swoop established the victory attack that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was defeated, which directly led to Cao Cao's defeat. It was because of his stubborn refusal to accept the credit, which made Yuan Shang very unable to get off the stage. The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and the situation in the handsome tent was unprecedentedly strange.

Yuan Shang's face was a bit uncomfortable. If he didn't know in his heart that the person in front of him was the invincible general who had carried the coffin to fight Guan Yu and was able to confront him head-on, Yuan Shang's sour temper would have exploded long ago!Jump and run up to cut Pound!
Of course, apart from believing that Pound is an invincible general, Yuan Shang also had an element of fear of Pound's personal force, because if Yuan Shang really rushed to cut Pound, according to his own conception, Yuan Shang felt that he would It should be that he can't cut him, and the situation of being cut back by Pound should be relatively large.

"Why did General Pang say this? Could it be that he still has some grudges against Yuan in his heart? So he is unwilling to accept my reward?" Yuan Shang was unhappy, but he also developed the potential to hide his emotions and anger, so he didn't show up on the spot. Angry, on the contrary, he asked Pound with a smile, quite a bit of self-cultivation and refinement.

There was a trace of worry on Pang De's bearded face, and he hurriedly cupped his hands, saying: "Mr. Yuan misunderstood, Pang did not mean not to accept Mr. Yuan's award, nor did he have any grudges against you, Mr. Yuan. It’s just that Pang is determined not to take the reward this time, because all the credit for this time belongs to General Yan Xingyan. He was the one who repelled Cao Chun with a single spear, causing him to be seriously injured. I will feel ashamed of myself, so I dare not accept the reward."

When Yan Xing heard the words, there was a trace of displeasure on his face, but he didn't say anything, he just stood there lightly, his eyes unconsciously revealed some light that others couldn't figure out.

Yuan Shang saw Pound's tone of respect, but his words were firm, and he had some doubts in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said: "Well, whatever, you two go down to rest first. I will make another reward plan for you."

The second general thanked them and then retreated. After watching the two leave, Yuan Shang touched his chin, and his thoughts fell into deep contemplation.

After a while, I saw Zhao Yun striding into the handsome tent, looking at Yuan Shang's slightly worried face, Zhao Yun smiled slightly, and said lightly: "What's the matter? I have something on my mind?"

Yuan Shang looked up at him, tapped the table lightly, and said: "Suddenly merged into the Ma family army, the number and generals have increased unprecedentedly, and the entire transfer of soldiers and horses and personnel relations need to be further smoothed out. That's right, let's not say that Ma Chao is a thorn in the side, just that Pang De from Nan'an doesn't seem to be convinced by me, and this gang of rotten mangers will be a bit difficult to manage in the future."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun nodded, and said, "Ma Chao's temperament is bursting, and he is brave in his own way, and he once had a gap with us. It is indeed a bit difficult to completely subdue his heart in the short term, but I think Pound is a man with both courage and strategy, and he can tell right from wrong, so he shouldn't be someone who can stab, so why do you have any objections to him?"

Yuan Shang sighed for a long time, and then explained what happened just now to Zhao Yun in detail, and finally sighed for a long time, and said helplessly: "I want to use this time to defeat Cao Chun. Yan Xing quite accepted it, but Pang De said nothing to accept my reward, and I don't know if he has a prejudice against me, or he really doesn't feel that he has made any contribution. It made me very confused."

Zhao Yun thought for a while, and said: "Actually, in my opinion, Pound doesn't have any prejudice or malice towards you. In fact, what he really dislikes is that Yan Xing."

"Yan Xing?" Yuan Shang was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked curiously, "What happened to Yan Xing? Did he jump into a well while holding his child?"

Zhao Yun: "...can you be more serious."

Yuan Shang laughed, and said: "Just kidding, what's going on? You might as well tell me everything you know, so that I can analyze it carefully."

Hearing this, Zhao Yun made it clear to Yuan Shang that he was dissatisfied with Yan Xing's various behaviors during this period of time, and finally said conclusively: "My lord, in my opinion, Yan Xing is a , is not a trustworthy general, let’s not talk about how despicable he was when he attacked Cao Chun this time, just talking about the incident when he betrayed Han Sui, you can see the character of this person. He is a bit stupid, and his actions are a bit too despicable, but he has always treated Yan Xing with confidence and confidence, and has high hopes, but Yan Xing, as a general under Han Sui, has nothing against Han Sui. He completely betrayed him with intention, not only hid Ma Teng privately against his order, but also abandoned him in order to protect himself when he was in danger. How can such a person stay in the account for his own use? I'm afraid that it will cause trouble in the future!"

Yuan Shang heard the words, his face became dark, unconsciously, he seemed to think of Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Wei Yan when he watched Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life.

After contemplating for a long time, Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Brother Zilong, what do you think of Yan Xing's martial prowess and his ability as a general?"

Zhao Yun thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Very brave, not inferior to Zhang Jaw and other strong generals, he has much intelligence, and his ability to deploy troops is top-notch, he is a rare good general."

Yuan Shang nodded and said, "That's it. In all fairness, in Hebei, we have more soldiers, more food, more generals, and more counselors, but the only thing we lack is generals and fierce generals who can be alone! Since Yan Liangwen's ugly death, the generals in Hebei In this regard, I have always felt a bit stretched. Although there are many people, there are not enough talents available. Now that Ma Teng's army has surrendered, I have more talents like Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing out of thin air. It is the time to show off your ambitions and show your strengths. At this time, if you kill him because of a trivial matter, who will be willing to submit to our army in the future? And the generals of the Ma family army must be in danger and have a grudge against me. , and although Yan Xing's actions were disloyal, they have made great contributions to our army. If there is no him, you and I can hardly predict the current situation in the Guanzhong battlefield. Killing one person and blocking the hope of the world, we Personally, I don’t think it’s advisable.”

Hearing this, Zhao Yun sighed, shook his head and said, "Then in your opinion, let him be left like this? You are not afraid of any disaster in the future."

Yuan Shang shook his head and said: "With you and me here, there should be no problem, just watch carefully. To be honest, I am really reluctant to kill Yan Xing."

"That's good!" Zhao Yun nodded after hearing the words: "Since you want to keep him, I can't be too obstructive, but for safety's sake, you'd better put him under my command, and I will arrange and transfer him in a unified way. Or clampable."

Yuan Shang heard the words, nodded and smiled: "No problem, just do as you said. Let Yan Xing be by your side, you are the leader, and he is the deputy. Use it and prevent it, okay?"

However, Yuan Shang didn't expect that today's decision to love talents will make him regret it in the future!As a result, there was almost a huge mess in the future, and it almost didn't make him regret it for the rest of his life.

************************
Weinan, Cao Cao's camp.

In the three-party battle between Yuan, Cao and Ma, Yuan and Ma suddenly united in the middle of the battle. Cao Cao was caught off guard, and his soldiers and horses were severely damaged.

However, apart from this matter, what made Cao Cao feel even more sad was that Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry he had always regarded as his right-hand man, was injured by a spear in this battle. The wound collapsed and died suddenly, making Cao Cao lose his beloved general while being defeated. The pain in his heart can hardly be expressed in words.

In the temporary mourning hall that Cao Ying built for Cao Chun, Cao Cao stared fixedly at Cao Chun's memorial tablet, his eyes were empty, and he stood there for a whole night. His lips were chapped, and his hair and beard became white. , as if he had aged dozens of years overnight, like a towering old man, crumbling in the dying years.

Behind Cao Cao, Cheng Yu also accompanied him motionlessly. This tough and wise old man seemed to have no good plan at the moment, but stood silently beside Cao Cao, using his own actions to show his respect for Cao Cao. Cao Cao's loyalty.

After standing like this for a whole night, Cheng Yu finally let out a long breath and said, "Duke Ming, you haven't eaten for several hours. Eat something."

Cao Cao kept his posture still, shook his head after a while, and said, "Zhongde, do you think Gu is still in the mood to eat anything at this time?"

Cheng Yu sighed for a long time, and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. How can there be no survivors in war? What's more, our army's strategy this time can be said to be without any problems. It's just that God's will let Ma Jiajun and Yuan Shang Resolving the enmity is an irreversible act of God, so there is no need for Minggong to blame himself too much."

"God's will?" Cao Cao shook his head when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it may not be so. If Feng Xiao is here, with his wisdom, it will definitely come true and he will be able to think carefully, and he will definitely not let Guyou suffer such a disastrous defeat." !"

Cheng Yu smiled helplessly, and said, "Feng Xiao is sick and cannot leave Xudu, isn't this a kind of providence?"

Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said in a low voice, "Could it be that Yuan's will is now in the hands of God?"

Cheng Yu was silent for a long while: "God's will is unpredictable, and this old man is not sure, but compared to Yuan Shang, now this old man is more worried about the safety of Xu Du. My lord, Liu Biao is nothing to worry about, but Liu Bei is not to worry about in Jingzhou." Don't guard against it."

Hearing this, Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, shook his head and said: "On this point, Zhong De, don't worry, Gu has already made proper arrangements long before leaving Xudu. If Liu Bei stays in Jingzhou in peace, he will Forget it, if he dares to sneak attack Xu Du, Gu will definitely let him die without a place to bury him!"
