Chapter 126: Heads for Food(1/2)
The explosion Zhao Yun is a powerful general, brave in combat, smart and wise, and has a loyal and brave heart to protect the master. He can be regarded as a perfect general. He is a typical example of perfect people. In any unit in later generations, he is definitely the right candidate to select the six best model soldiers.
But he is so outstanding, but has an unknown fatal flaw
I just have too thin skin and can't eat it.
“Food shortage?”
Yuan Shang was illuminated with a sense of confusion on his face, and pretended to be foolish: "It's not too short. It's just that there is a war now, and the food price is extremely expensive. In addition, the war last year, the food and supplies of our army were damaged by the Cao army too seriously, and it was a bit unacceptable. So, my father's intention was to save some money on food and fodder expenses. He also came here to ask, "I appreciate this kindness, brother."
"Well, I don't care about you either."
Zhao Yun seemed a little cramped, and whimpered for a long time before he said boldly: "I mean, my subordinates have been half hungry and half full every day these days, and they can't eat well and cannot sleep. They all think in a depressed state. If this continues, I'm afraid there will be a mutiny sooner or later... Yuan Shang suddenly said "Oh" and nodded, "It turns out that it's Brother Long. You really can't blame me for this. When I was in Wuji County, I was the county magistrate and the top leader! I did whatever I wanted to do, and I would say whatever I wanted to eat. I could eat everyone and eat everyone with nothing to do. But the situation is different now. Now in Pingqiu, my father and commander are commanding more than 300,000 soldiers and military distribution and other trivial matters, and I can't tolerate them.
To be honest, I actually want to give the brothers of Baima Yicong a meal and serve with dishes and some small dishes, but my status is not good now. Like the 300,000 Yuan brothers, they are just a soldier under the tent of the father and commander. How can they go around at will? What's more, my father's way of using military forces has always regarded fair rewards and punishments, and the foundation of his life is to judge merits and rewards. Especially in this sensitive period, Cao Cao is about to confront our army head-on. If my father treats Baima Yicong very favorably for free food and drink in the army and has no achievements, how can he calm the morale of the army? How can he convince them? When he arrives on the battlefield in the future, how will the soldiers kill the enemy with their lives? Brother Zilong is also a talented person. I believe that this is not unclear?
Yuan Shang's words are reasonable and well-founded, and they are sincere and unpretentious.
Although Zhao Yun was unhappy, but the matter was indeed the case, there was no way to argue.
Yingting's face turned red and white. Zhao Yun was silent for a long time, and finally opened up again. He said, "I know your difficulties, but if this continues, I am afraid that my brothers under him will starve to death at the beginning of next month, and they will be gone. How can I fulfill my agreement and promise with you alone? You Yuan is the lord of Hebei and dominate the four prefectures. Can you not count the food for these 300 people?"
"That's it." Yuan Shang touched his chin and thought for a while. He sighed: "I really have no solution here to help you, but there is a good way to help Bai Ma Yi overcome this food crisis temporarily. I'm afraid that Brother Zilong, you are unhappy... Zhao Yun is worried about his subordinates' food and clothing at this moment, and he is not in a mood to be petty with Yuan Shang. He heard this and asked, "If you are happy, you can tell me first, but it is better than not!"
Yuan Shang sighed: "Baima Yi is just a cooperative relationship with our army. Logically speaking, my father has no responsibility or obligation to support you for free but the rules are dead, people live, and they cannot be fully compatible. It is important to know that my father, as the leader of the four prefectures of Hebei, believes in the most six big words on weekdays!"
Zhao Yunying raised her eyebrows and said curiously: "What six words?"
"Fair, fair, or fucking fair!"
Zhao Yun was a little muted when he heard this: "Are these six words?"
"Isn't it?"
"Forget it, you keep talking."
"Since you are allies, you will not have the right to support you in vain. But you might as well fight for yourself, take what you have in your hands and come to my father to buy food to support yourself, wouldn't that be fine?"
Zhao Yun looked unkind and said, "Since the attack on Yi Jing was captured by your army, we have been wandering in Hebei for more than a year, and we have never attacked Luzhou and counties. Our hands are cleaner than your face. How can we buy food?"
Yuan Shang was slightly stunned when he heard this, touched his head with a little embarrassed look and said, "Thank you for your praise, in fact, I am not as innocent as you thought... I'm serious!"
"Oh, since you don't have money to buy grain, you can only rely on the fruits of labor to exchange grain. I have a job list that you just listed here. You can take it back and refer to it. Choose a job. If you do it well, I guess there should be no problem in supporting your three hundred people."
"Work order?" Zhao Yun looked puzzled.
But Yuan Shang picked up a bamboo slip from the table and reached out and handed it to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun took it from Yuan Shang with a little confusion, unfolded the bamboo slips and took a look, and his cheeks were immediately blackened by anger.
"Kill a small soldier, one liter of rice; kill a squad leader, half a dou of rice; kill a tee long, one dou of rice; kill a hundred generals, seven dou of rice; kill a lieutenant, one stone; kill a general of a lieutenant or above, three stones; kill a general of a lieutenant, five fat sheep; capture a general of a lieutenant alive, four good horses; kill a general of a general, one horse, two sheep; kill a lieutenant, five stones of grain, two pairs of armor and armor; kill an enemy general to avoid food and accommodation for a year; beat a stupid enemy general, and give one beauty to a gift... Zhao Yun's heavy generals, Jian Yihe, glared at Yuan Shang and said, "Do you still want me to help you fight?"
"Wrong! It's not about helping me fight, it's about labor, it's about you who support yourself! Only labor can achieve a well-off life and create beautiful material wealth! Don't you understand this, Brother Zilong?" Yuan Shang looked innocent and spread his hands gently, looking very aggrieved.
It's no wonder that he pointed out the way to survive. Not only did he not appreciate it, but he doubted his intentions. Yuan Shang felt that Zhao Yun was very unconscienced and was an ungrateful wolf at this time.
"Do you still remember our three rules?" Zhao Yun gritted his teeth and glared at Yuan Shang.
If it weren't for his help in finding the real murderer 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 agreements is that you have been helping me kill people, but now it is different. You are helping yourself kill people and supporting yourself. There is nothing to be ashamed of. The working people are the most glorious."
Zhao Yun took a deep breath and said, "What will happen if I don't agree?"
"There is no consequence. At most, it's hunger. Working, you can't force anyone to do anything."
Zhao Yun was immediately angry: "Bastard! You kid are simply a scoundrel!"
Yuan Shang was a little unhappy: "What you said. Oh, I asked you to do the job. Is it a rogue to pay based on the job performance? Is it noble to support you for nothing? What logic! I found that you martial artists are not reasonable anymore. If you still have any concepts of right and wrong in your mind, you don't go out to inquire about it. How difficult is the job to find now? You still bargain with me for work? I'm so angry that you take back the recruitment, and you can't even do these things! You starve to death!"
"You... Zhao Yun pointed at Yuan Shang, trying to say something, but he didn't say a word.
Yuan Shang sighed and shook his head and said, "Brother Zilong. Actually, if you think about it carefully, it is not embarrassing to do this at all. Who is the current enemy of our army? That's Cao Cao! Who is Cao Cao? He is the Han prime minister after taking off his clothes, and is a Han thief when he wears clothes."
Zhao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he realized the taste.
He shook his head weakly and said, "What you want to say is that you are entitled to the name of the Han Prime Minister, but he is actually a traitor? But Cao Cao is only Sikong, and my Han Dynasty has long dismissed the prime minister."
Yuan Shang turned his head disdainfully: "It's the same. It's a matter of time before he steals the position of prime minister. Today I'm just trying to catch a pre-requisite measure. But the point is not this. Now Cao Cao imprisons the emperor in Xudu, threatens the Han emperor, and slaughteres loyal and kind-hearted. His unjust heart looks at the world, from the court to the five-year-old child. Everyone knows that you are a man of the world, but don't understand? Why do you abandon the world's righteousness for a little bit of dignity and arrogance? And your old friend Liu Bei, in order to welcome the emperor out of the cage and take the Han Dynasty in danger, repeatedly compete with Cao Cao, repeatedly defeated, but repeatedly defeated, but repeatedly defeated. What a shameless and precious spirit! Don't you want to learn?"
When Zhao Yun heard this, his expression became a little dim before he knew it.
Yuan Shangcheng strikes the iron and continues: "If you are willing to help me fight Cao Cao, one is that you have not violated the agreement of the third chapter of the first chapter, but it is faith! Second, you can support the world and use the correct Han Dynasty to be loyal! Third, you can exchange military achievements for food and support the three hundred warriors under your command, which is benevolence! Fourth, you can be worthy of the friendship between Uncle Liu and you, which is righteous! You have all the loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and trust! Why not do it? Is it because of some persistence in my heart? Who is more important, and you can't tell me? General Zhao, you are a person who does big things, why bother to stick to one another and push yourself to the point of the bull horn to be honest, don't you think you are sick?"
Zhao Yun trembled all over when he heard this, and stood silently for a long time. His heart was rumbling, and his thoughts changed several times. Finally, he let out a long sigh and said, "Let me consider it."
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "Tomorrow, our army and Cao Cao have already made a war agreement. If you figure 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 called Zhao Yun from behind and handed him the bamboo slips containing the work content.
"Thank you" Zhao Yun said, raised his hand to take the bamboo slips, unfolded them again and looked carefully, with deep eyes and seemed to be moved in his heart.
However, after watching for a while, Zhao Yun's face turned black again, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth began to tremble again.
Lu Lingqi looked coldly at the flag opposite that was looming, marking the word "Cao". Her right hand holding Fang Tian Huaji began to tremble slightly without realizing it. There was a sense of tension in the panic and a strong expectation.
Yuan Shang glanced at her faintly and said, "Are you nervous?"
Lu Lingqi slowly turned her gaze to him: "No."
"Don't lie, your epilepsy hands have fully exposed your inner weakness."
Lu Lingqi's face instantly became less beautiful.
Why can't this dead man speak better?
"The revenge of killing your father is irreconcilable. If it were you, you would be like this." Lu Lingqi's speech was very cold and very aggressive.
Yuan Shang nodded and said, "I understand, but I hope you remember that this is a battlefield full of killing. Hate will cover your eyes and blind your mind. If you don't want to die early, it's better not to worry about these things and concentrate on fighting and killing the enemy."
Lu Lingqi was stunned for a moment and suddenly said, "Are you caring about me?"
Although the words are cold and hard, there is a trace of inexplicable warmth.
Yuan Shang's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
When Lu Lingqi saw Yuan Shang’s strange look, she couldn’t help but feel a little sad.
But she smiled and said, "What a shame? I'm so funny. You want to care about me, but I'm not interested."
"I'm not ashamed"
"Why are you blushing if you are not ashamed?"
"The war is imminent, why can't we discuss some nutritious topics?"
"I just want to know why you blushed?"
"Why, you woman?"
Yuan Shang raised his head and said quietly: "I tell you. Blushing is a sign of increased secretion of catecholamines such as norepinephrine. I am satisfied... Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong, Dong!"
The sound of drums broke the conversation between the two, but the giant shield in front of Cao's army suddenly dispersed, and three powerful generals flew out of the middle, two of whom were old acquaintances of Yuan Shang and others.
"Xu Chu!" Yuan Shang's face changed.
"Zhang Liao" Lu Lingqi unknowingly bit her lips on her chin.
"Little fat sheep!" Zhao Yun also spoke unknowingly.
Yuan Shangshu looked at Zhao Yun with a very contemptuous look. How hungry should he be to speak such arrogant words?
In the central army formation, Yuan Shao smiled coldly, raised his horse whip and patted his thighs, and said leisurely: "Fighting General? Haha. Meng De, you underestimated me!"
"Dong, dun, dun, dun!"
However, a drum sounded in Yuan's central army formation, and the three generals also came out of the battle with Pegasus and attacked the three generals of Cao's army on the battlefield.
These three people are senior generals under Yuan Shao, Zhang He, Gao Lan and Han Meng.
For a moment, in the battlefield that was still silent and indulging, six powerful generals fought each other, and swords and guns were raised at the same time, causing sand and dust to fly, and the sound of weapons intersecting was splashing everywhere. It shook the eardrums of everyone in the field, and the swords were like phoenixes. The spears were like rainbows. The powerful fighting aura attracted the attention of everyone in the field.
Zhang He played against Zhang Liao, Gao Lan intercepted Xu Chu, and the four of them met with each other, and it was still difficult to decide the winner for a while.
However, it was the general of Yuan army, Han Meng, who fought with another general Cao, who struggled. After thirty rounds, he was already in a state of inability to meet his strength.
Another sword came and was barely held by Han Meng. While struggling to support him, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "A man is so brave! Do you dare to report his name!"
The general's swords were constantly shutting down. He suddenly retreated back and waved another sword, as if sweeping across the thousands of troops like a sweeping mat. Han Meng couldn't help but have a chance to breathe, and said grimly: "Yuan Army thief, you have heard of Cao Hong's name... The situation on the battlefield has been captured by Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang clenched his fists tightly and whispered to Zhao Yun beside him: "The enemy general's martial arts skills are good, General Han Meng is afraid he can't hold on. Brother Zilong, your performance moment is coming!"
Zhao Yun stopped his horse and didn't move, but looked coldly at Cao Hong, who was powerful in the distance, and said calmly: "This guy has good martial arts skills, so he should be considered a top-notch general, right?"
Yuan Shang nodded after hearing this: "Of course!"
"What is the price of a good general?"
"Kill some sheep to death, capture some horses alive, and kill some sheep and horses away!"
Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this and whispered: "You wait!"
After saying that, with his legs clamped, the white horse under his crotch was like a meteor, running straight out of the flanking military formation and heading towards the battlefield like a flying.
Looking at Zhao Yun's white figure gradually moving away, Yuan Shang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
