Chapter 165: The hidden danger of Yuan Shu's army

Yuan Shu was really angry this time.

Although there are many people who angered him from childhood to adulthood, only Yuan Shao is the only one who can make him so angry that he is so angry.

But now, Liu Qi has gloriously broken this record. After Yuan Shao, he became the second person to almost drive Yuan Shu crazy.

He glanced back and forth at the generals under his command and said, "Chen Lan, Ji Ling, Lei Bo, Li Feng and Ru led their headquarters and went south quickly to catch up with the Liu family's children in Xingye!"

The four of them responded to their orders and turned around and left.

Yan Xiang, the chief clerk who had never made any comments, gave a speech: "Duke Yuan, the people in the alliance of protecting the kings have a great reputation. Liu Yu and Liu Biao have been the hope of being the example of the clan. If they send troops to pursue Liu Qi at this time, it will probably damage the general's reputation."

Yuan Shu raised his hand and then suddenly dropped it. His palm slapped heavily on the table, shaking the cups and bamboo slips on the table...

This shows how powerful it is.

"At this point, what else do you care about? The court has issued an edict to grant Liu Qi the title of the magistrate of Nanyang County! If you don't kill him now, what will you do in the future? Will Wancheng give him the Liu family's child?"

Yan Xiang, Yang Hong and others were shocked when they heard this.

They never expected that Dong Zhuo was so cruel.

He appointed Liu Qi as the governor of Nanyang County, sowed his relationship with Yuan Shu and forced Yuan Shu to go to war with Liu Qi.

Although it is an open conspiracy, it has no solution.

Yan Xiang frowned and began to feel a little upset in her heart.

In the Han Dynasty, those who are superiors must pay attention to legitimate statements when doing big things.

Why did Yuan Shu instruct Sun Jian to kill the governor of Jingzhou Wang Rui and the governor of Nanyang Zhang Zi in the previous period? It was because only when they died could Yuan Shu be legitimately able to occupy Jingzhou.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo ordered Liu Qi to be the governor of Nanyang County. Even if Yuan Shu knew that it was Dong Zhuo's provocation, he had to take the initiative to enter this trap.

Yuan Shu knew that Dong Zhuo's imperial title was a provocation, but the scholars in Nanyang County did not know, the prominent clans did not know, the powerful did not know, and the people did not know...

If you don’t kill Liu Qi, it will be a disaster sooner or later.

Now that Liu Qi leads his troops south, if he can kill him in the wilderness before he arrives in Nanjun, although he will make enemies with Liu Biao, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Yuan Shu now.

Yan Xiang sighed and stopped admonishing.

Sun Jian stood up and advised Yuan Shu: "Duke Yuan, the Jingzhou army fought against the Xiliang army in the previous period. Although it was damaged, it was now in the same place with Jia Long from Yizhou. It was roughly calculated that there were no less than seven or eight thousand troops. The last general had fought with the Jingzhou army and the Xiliang army. He knew that there were quite a lot of heroes in the Jingzhou army and had great combat power. If only Ji Ling, Chen Lan and others were sent to pursue him, he might not be able to win."

Sun Jian knew Liu Qi very well... But Yuan Shu didn't know the combat power of the Jingzhou Army.

He didn't believe that the Jingzhou Army would be as powerful as Sun Jian said.

Zhang Zi of Nanyang County was killed, the governor Wang Rui committed suicide by swallowing gold, and Guo Yong, the prefect of Nanyang County, left because of fear of hanging seals. The soldiers of the entire Jingbei were withdrawn by Yuan Shu and Sun Jian, which was seriously injured and almost hung up. Even if Liu Biao and Liu Qi were geniuses, it would be difficult to improve the overall combat power of Jingzhou to the same level as their own in just ten months?

"Wentai is too worried." Yuan Shu said coldly: "Even if the Jingyi coalition has nearly 10,000 soldiers, what can it be? Chen Lan and Lei Bo have three thousand elite troops under their command. The number of four people combined is above the Jingzhou army. Moreover, our Nanyang County is a large iron smelting county, and the armor and armor are the strongest of all counties. Liu Qi hurriedly retreated to Nanjun. The soldiers of Jingzhou were homesick and rushed to the hasty. How could they be our army's enemy?"

Sun Jian thought to himself that you don’t know how powerful that kid is.

"Even so, it's safer to send more soldiers and generals."

Yuan Shu shook his head and said, "No, our army is stationed in the Mount of Wu Family. Although we do not fight with that little maid, the son of the concubine is vicious and good at using tricks. If I divide too many troops, I am afraid that Yuan Shao will take advantage of the opportunity to attack me, so I must not do it."

Sun Jian said: "If a young soldier is sent, there must be elite generals and officials who are the backbone."

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "You can rest assured about this. Sima, military marquis and generals under Ji Ling, Chen Lan and others are all appointed by our Hu Ben Army soldiers. The three armies can defeat the enemy together."

When Sun Jian heard the three words "Hu Ben Army soldiers", he couldn't help but sigh.

Mr. Yuan is really a fan of chess player.

He regards the Hu Ben Army as the backbone force? Over time, problems will inevitably arise.

However, these Tiger Soldiers were all Yuan Shu's confidants. As a guest general, Sun Jian was inconvenient to give advice...

In the Han Dynasty, when Emperor Xiaowu was in the Zhou Dynasty, he imitated the Zhou system and took orphans from the army and unified the descendants of the generals and officials into the army, and was called the Hu Ben Army, which was controlled by the emperor alone.

However, with the development of the Hu Ben Army, its structure had changed in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Hu Ben Army adopted the method of inheriting the father and reincarnation of the son, not to recruit warriors in various prefectures and counties. At this time, because of the inheritance system from generation to generation, the actual combat power was uneven.

During the reign of Emperor Xiaoling, part of the organization of the Hu Ben Army was sold to local rich households in Luoyang. Many Sili tyrants secretly used money to allow their descendants to make their future in the Hu Ben Army.

Yuan Shu was in Luoyang and served as the General of the Hu Ben. At that time, he was in the capital. Yuan Shu used this army as the foundation to coordinate the coup.

After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, some of the 1,500 Tiger Ben soldiers surrendered to Dong Zhuo, while some of them still ran away from the capital with their boss Yuan Shu and went to Nanyang County.

These "Tiger Soldiers" have a very famous name and sound good, but they are the backbone of the army...

Sun Jian thought about it and felt that the more Yuan Shujun expanded, the more problems they would be.

...

There are many water and water near Junxian. People who travel around the world often use boats to travel long roads, and short roads to travel with floating bridges.

When more than 10,000 troops from four four captains, Ji, Chen, Lei and Li, arrived at Junxian County, after scouts inquired, they learned that the Jingzhou army had left Junxian for three days.

The four of them immediately discussed the plan to advance.

If we want to quickly catch up with Liu Qi's army, we must recruit ships.

But not long ago, when the Jingzhou army passed by, it had already recruited all the ships that could be recruited in Junxian, its subordinate townships, and the places where they could be recruited.

It is absolutely impossible for Yuan Shu to get enough ships in a short time for more than 10,000 troops from the four generals.

If they want to avoid hindering their march because of Mizuze, they can only find a way to bypass them.

This is their only way out.

The four of them immediately headed west, trying to bypass the lake and swamp and pursue the dry road.

However, during the detour, there are floating bridges connecting small puddles everywhere.

There are quite a few pontoon bridges, but each one is narrow and difficult to walk through. It is OK to pass through, but it is too time-consuming.

Ji Ling rode a war horse and patroled the rear of the army to urge him.

Seeing his troops walking slowly towards the west in a row in a row, Ji Ling felt very impatient.

He thrust the long-handled sword heavily into the ground and said angrily: "The march is so slow. When you leave Junxian, I am afraid that Liu Qi's troops will all arrive at Nanjun. Why should we pursue him?"

Chen Lan advised him on the side, "Just Ji, don't be upset. Although Liu Qi's army left here a few days before us, I heard from the people of Jun County that there were a lot of supplies. Our soldiers were light and traveled in a simple manner. It was not difficult to catch up with him. Moreover, the more we went west, the closer we were to our Nanyang territory. At that time, we sent people to contact local county troops to close the road, and attacked internally and externally. It would not be difficult to capture the Jingzhou army."

Ji Ling sighed and said, "That's all..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly heard a faint sound of shouting and falling into the water from the northwest direction.

The sound was like thunder in the plains, suddenly rising and falling, causing the Yuan army soldiers who were looking for their way to look at each other.

For a moment, Yuan soldiers who were passing by floating bridges on various swamps began to show chaos.

Ji Ling was shocked when he saw this. He quickly turned his head and shouted loudly:
