He was so angry that he couldn't control himself when he said this. He let go of the hand holding the knife and simply stopped suppressing it. He asked sternly. "Wei Zidu, you are my private minister of Yuan Cong! A person like you, with such qualifications,

Why should I worry about my merits?! Why would I be greedy? In the future, if I only get 10%, how can I lose one less than you?!"

Wei Yue also burst into tears, but he could only kowtow on the ground.

"Where is the king elephant?" Gongsun Xun suppressed his emotions and looked around.

Wang Xiang stepped forward quickly.

"Send a letter to Changping and ask Lu Ziheng to send 3,000 pieces of silk, 30 million yuan, 300 jins of silver, and 100 jins of gold to his family from there." Gongsun Xun pointed at the man kneeling in front of him and shouted.

The king elephant immediately called his order.

"Where is Juzong?" Gongsun Xun continued to call people.

Ju Zong quickly stumbled forward.

"How many brocades are there in the army?" Gongsun Xun asked sternly.

"There are not many pieces of Shu brocade, only a few pieces, but there are more than a hundred pieces of Liao brocade..." Ju Gongqi leaned over and answered.

This is natural, brocade is a luxury product. In the past, when the Han Dynasty was at its best, a piece of top-quality Shu brocade could sometimes be worth hundreds of pieces of fine silk, and the price was unmarketable. Later, when Liao brocade came out, the value of brocade dropped slightly.

, but more than a hundred pieces of Liao brocade and several pieces of Shu brocade are also a huge fortune... Gongsun Xun probably brought these things with him in the army as a reward after a great victory.

"Take the people and get them all." Gongsun Xun thought for a moment and simply ordered.

Juzong, like the generals around him, was a little confused, but he still hurriedly obeyed the order. After a while, hundreds of sergeants, each holding a piece of brocade, lined up under the stage.

"Is such a reward satisfactory?" Gongsun Xun looked at the person in front of him and finally asked, "I want to ask you something!"

"Enough...enough!" Wei Yue finally managed to choke out a sob.

"It's not easy to change your words." Gongsun Xun sighed. "Lie down on the ground and see if you are qualified to receive this reward... As much brocade as you can bear today, I will reward you with as many extra brocades as you can... All of them

I will send him back to your home and I will never break my promise! Take off your armor!"

Everyone around was shocked, but Yi Congmeng Da, Jia Kui and others who were on duty did not dare to neglect, and quickly led the soldiers to peel off the opponent's armor, and then held down the opponent's hands and feet... However, Wei Yue did not

What does it mean to not cooperate? Instead, after the armor was removed, his five limbs fell to the ground.

"Take the brocade wooden shaft and cover it..." Gongsun Xun said the last sentence and simply turned back to the account.

But on the general platform, all the generals in the army opened their eyes wide, watching a group of soldiers busy each other. They saw these people taking off the wooden shafts and unfolding the brocade. Each of these brocades was worth a lot of money.

Inlaid with gold and silver, gold and silver threads shone in the sun... After passing them up in turn, Meng Da and Jia Kui at the front had trembling hands. Each time they took over a piece of brocade, they had to show it to the surroundings.

, and then gently covered Wei Yue's back like a quilt or a cloak.

Immediately, the four soldiers who were holding the opponent's hands and feet immediately let go, preparing to restrain the opponent again through the brocade. However, seeing that Wei Yue remained silent and showed no intention of resisting, these people followed Jia Kui's signal.

Down, he retreated.

Adding a piece of brocade to the body was something that a prodigal from Jiuyuan Border County in the old days never dared to think about in his life, or rather, it was something that he only dared to think about in his dreams.

Adding three pieces of brocade to the body was something Wei Yue could do in Liaodong. When he married Yang Qiu's wife, Aunt Gongsun directly gave him five pieces of Liao brocade as a congratulation.

Seven pieces of brocade were added to the body. Wei Yue remembered that he was in Changping a few years ago, and his wife participated in the management of Amway. The family saved a lot of wealth. His parents and children were enlightened at the age of seven, and they were already wearing brocade clothes.

With fifteen pieces of brocade added to his body, Wei Yue's chest began to feel tight, and the feeling of oppression in his limbs was already very obvious. So far, he was actually unable to resist, but he still remained silent... because he remembered the memories of asking for help two years ago.

When Dong Chenggong rode a white horse, wearing steel armor and a brocade cloak, he arrived in front of Weiyang Palace. At that time, he had already guessed that he was going to become the Captain of Two Thousand Stone Cavalry! But at that time, he remembered

What I experienced in Luoyang in the past made me long for more things!

Thirty pieces of brocade were added to his body. Wei Yue in the darkness could no longer breathe, and his limbs were pressed to the ground early. So he simply gave up thinking. Just as when Gongsun Xun wanted to deal with him today, everyone begged for mercy. He himself

But he simply gave up his defense and resistance... because he knew that he was indeed confused again, and Gongsun Xun would not be swayed by his plea... But for some reason, he still recalled the heavy rain in his daze.

On the afternoon of that day, he seemed to have told Cheng Lian that he only had one life anyway, and it was much better to follow this man than to follow Lu Bu. So the two of them secretly left Lu Bu and rode on horseback to catch up with the You who spared their lives on the banks of the Yellow River.

Zhouzi, and stayed with him for fifteen years, and followed him to become General Wei!

Forty pieces of brocade were added to the body. Under the brocade like a hill, Wei Yue had already died, and all the generals outside were aware of this. Because of this thickness, even if he could not hold back, he could be crushed to death... But

After hesitating for a moment, Meng Da and Jia Kui continued to spread the brocade upwards while looking at the motionless Chinese army tent.

Finally, more than a hundred pieces of brocade were laid on Wei Yue's back... According to Gongsun Xun's agreement, the huge sum of money from these more than a hundred pieces of brocade will all belong to Wei Yue's family.

So the brocade began to be folded layer by layer... At the end, he didn't know how many layers there were. Jia Kui was careful and saw that there was something strange on one layer of brocade, but he ordered to stop, and then put it in the account to ask for instructions.

Suddenly, Jia Kui came out of his tent again, but he sent a serious order - General Wei couldn't bear it, so he ordered Wei Yue to be buried wrapped in several layers of Shu brocade!

Immediately, the soldiers stepped forward, carefully wrapped Wei Yue's body through brocade, and carried it off the general platform.

During the whole process, no one saw Wei Yue's death. Only the blood stains on the rammed earth platform clearly told everyone that Gongsun Xun's Yuan Cong old general had completely disappeared.

"Your Majesty has an order," Jia Kui sent the order again. "Two thousand stones and the staff of General Wei's Mansion, as well as General Zhang Fei, come in to discuss matters... The rest will return to their respective camps!"

Everyone was in mixed moods. Although Wei Yue's death, Gongsun Xun's wrath, and so many brocades left a deep impression on everyone, the earthen jar was not broken without leaving the well mouth. Wei Zidu brought the blame on himself, and the warrior gave his life in exchange for wealth, but there was nothing to say...

...On the other hand, it was clear that yesterday's battle could take the opportunity to follow into the city, but Gongsun Xun called it to a halt. Today has passed a full day, and Gongsun Xun still has no intention of expanding the victory, and instead stands still, which is somewhat suspicious.

When everyone entered the tent and bowed, before he said anything, Gongsun Xun got straight to the point: "Although Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated in the first battle, he still has 19 counties in three states, all the food and fodder, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses... What do you think should be done?

"

Many people looked at Xu Rong... In fact, when the troops were withdrawn yesterday, the one who caused the most commotion was not Wei Yue, but the cavalry commander Xu Rong. However, he had never committed the taboo of resenting his superiors, and he did not let anyone loose in the formation.

It's just a ridiculous crime to take Yuan Shao away.

However, Xu Rong, who had just seen a hundred pieces of brocade, was already frightened. When he talked about it again, the generals around him were shocked. How could he still be as wanton as after last night's victory?

"Bo Jin!" Gongsun Xun called his name in a deep voice. "I heard that you made a lot of money yesterday?"

"My subordinates are making arrogant remarks...and please forgive me." Xu Rong replied with all his strength. "I think that now that the matter has come to a point, the prince can send out all his cavalry to cut off the traffic between Liang Qi and several surrounding cities, turning it into an isolated city.

Defeat the city, then encircle it and bring in reinforcements, eat up all the enemy soldiers and horses, and then attack it in one fell swoop!"

"A good plan." Gongsun Xun immediately nodded. "But have you ever seen me attack a strong city? Yuan Shao is trapped in the city, with sufficient food and troops. If the trapped beasts still fight, how many people will die to succeed?"

Xu Rong immediately got off the donkey, saying he was stupid.

"You are not stupid." Gongsun Xun stared at the other party and said. "You have limited vision. Not to mention that you cannot see the overall situation clearly, even a siege strategy is not grand enough..."

What else could Xu Rong do, he could only say yes again and again.

"Uncle Zi!" Gongsun Xun finally gestured with his lips raised.

Lou Gui, who had been silent but was actually the second person in the army, stepped forward after hearing the words and simply revealed Gongsun Xun's next battle plan: "Yesterday, the monarch ordered to withdraw the troops, which was decided upon by the Chinese army and I... because

Since they were defeated, they drove the city away. Although they succeeded for a while, if Yuan Shao lost his army and fled directly from Hebei, a confrontation across the river would be unsightly! And after returning yesterday, your lord and I discussed that we should take the opportunity to surround Yuan Shao.

, but they want to encircle the entire Wei County, prevent him from escaping to Henan, and at the same time continue to force the other party to fight and easily win in the wild. Only in this way can they defeat the enemy with less casualties! The first is,

It’s to…”

"How is a person who feels resentful because of his lack of killings and lack of military merit different from Dong Zhuo?" Gongsun Xun suddenly interrupted again. "I killed Wei Yue today, not only because he put his own ambition above mine, but also because of his

With soldiers and horses in hand in such troubled times, the style of warriors who are desperate for merit cannot spread in the army... It is certainly unfair for warriors to be squeezed out by the sergeants and officials of the court, but once Dong Zhuo gains power, doesn't it just prove that the previous worries of the court are correct?

?If there is such a trend in the army, no matter how high the rank or seniority, everyone can only end up with the same fate! And next time, I may not be able to bring out so many brocades to reward them!"

Xu Rong finally couldn't hold it any longer and bowed his head to plead guilty.

Gongsun Xun did not even look at the other party, but directly ordered: "Yun Chang, you are one of the leading generals. Together with Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, we will lead 30,000 troops. We will make some preparations today and then head west tomorrow to attack Wu'an first.

Join Shangdang Lianzi in Shexian County, then turn south along the Taihang River to recapture Chaoge! Then capture Liyang!"

Guan Yu suddenly understood, and quickly joined the other two generals to go out to receive the order: "But if the last general returns to Chao Ge, Yuan Shao will never be allowed to return to Henan from there!"

Gongsun Xun nodded slightly and looked around again: "You should roughly understand that this strategy is to attack both sides together. Taking advantage of our army's great victory and the enemy's defeat and being unable to send troops for a while, we can make a plan to cover the entire Wei County.

A massive outflank... But Yunchang's right wing is taking the west route for real, while the left route is half-empty and half-real... Who is willing to go to Guangzong and stand with me on Yuan Benchu's waist?"

"Junhou, Guangzong is the key point of the three counties of Wei, Anping, and Qinghe, and the hub of Hebei. Zhang Jiao had this intention when he stayed here in the past, and this time he is facing the east county of Yanzhou, which is Yuan Shao's waist.

It's extremely appropriate." When Cheng Pu saw Guan Yu receiving the order, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "But what does half-truth and half-truth mean?"

"It means that Guangzong's troops cannot be too many or too sharp, so that the provincial Yuan Shao would not dare to go; but if Yuan Shao really goes eastward, Guangzong can be guaranteed to be alone on the outside of the Zhang River.

The old city has not been lost... In short, it is actually a bait! Ten thousand soldiers, including five thousand auxiliary soldiers, crossed the Zhang River to lure the enemy alone. Who is going?!" Gongsun Xun asked as he looked around.

I heard that they were used as bait after a great victory, but they could only lead 10,000 weak soldiers. Many people were hesitant. As long as they were alone, their status could not be too low... In short, this kind of hard work is mostly hard work, and the credit may not be the same.

Many things have always been the most difficult duties in the military.

"I'm willing to go!" After a moment of silence, I don't know if it was what happened to Wei Yue just now, but there were still several people in the tent asking for orders in unison.

One is Xu Rong who bowed before, one is Cheng Pu who has already gone out to inquire, one is Han Dang who has been silent today, and the last one is the trial matchmaker...

Gongsun Xun swept through everyone and finally looked at Shen Zhengnan. He was startled for a moment and then laughed: "Now that things have come to this, Zhengnan actually wants to lead the army?"

"It's not about leading an army or not, it's just about wanting to do something!" Shen Pei replied proudly. "There are many people in the world, and there is nothing wrong with a man seeking merit. If he can ignore hardships and dangers and do things that ordinary people can't do, it will be enough.

Things that comfort me in my life! If there are things before me that others don’t want to do, I am willing to do them; others can’t do them, but I can do them; others can do them and are willing to do them, so why can’t I do them?”

"Zhengnan has the courage to do his job, and he is indeed a pillar of talent." Gongsun Xun looked at the other party and nodded slightly. "In that case, let you go! I will lead the main force here to take charge of the overall situation!"

It is said that the judge is assigned to receive the order.

Gongsun Xun continued to look at the generals, and then he stood up with his sword in hand and responded solemnly: "Gentlemen... Yuan Shao is incompetent to this point. He was defeated yesterday and his decline can no longer be stopped. And when I was watching the battle from a distance yesterday, I had already made up my mind...

...One winter and one spring, and at most one summer and one autumn, until one year old, we will completely wipe out these beasts and unify Hebei... I hope that all of you can be as courageous and sincere in serving the public as Shen Zhengnan, but I hope you can be more sincere.
To be continued...
