Chapter 298 Prevention
In the commander's tent, Yuan Shangyu highly rewarded Yan Xing and Pang De, commending them for defeating Cao Chun, and laid the foundation for the defeat of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which directly led to the victory attack of Cao Cāo's defeat. Yan Xing accepted it happily, but Pang De was stubborn but refused to take the credit, which made Yuan Shang very unable to come to Taiwan. The atmosphere was awkward for a moment, and the situation in the commander's tent was unprecedentedly strange.
Yuan Shang was a little worried. If he hadn't known in his heart that the person in front of him was the powerful general who had once carried a coffin to fight Guan Yu and could face him head-on, Yuan Shang's acid temper would have exploded long ago! He jumped up and cut Pang De!...
Of course, in addition to believing that Pang De is a powerful general, Yuan Shang also has the element of fearing Pang De's personal force, because if Yuan Shang really pounced on him and cut Pang De, according to his own idea, Yuan Shang felt that he could not cut him down, and the situation of being cut by Pang De should be relatively large.
"Why did General Pang say this? Is it because he has any grudges against Yuan? Therefore, he is unwilling to accept my reward?" Yuan Shang was unhappy, but he also developed the potential of not showing his emotions. Therefore, he did not get angry on the spot, but instead asked Pang De with a smile, which was quite elegant.
Pang De's beard showed a hurried look on his face, and then he hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Yuan misunderstood. Pang did not mean not to accept the reward of Mr. Yuan, nor did he have any grudges against you. But this time, Pang must not take the reward of Mr. Yuan, because all the credits this time are attributed to General Yan Xingyan. He repelled Cao Chun with one spear, causing him to be seriously injured. There is nothing wrong with him. The general felt guilty, so he did not dare to receive the reward."...
When Yan Xing heard this, his face showed a hint of unhappiness, but he didn't say anything, but just stood there lightly, his eyes unknowingly showed some light that others could not understand.
Seeing Pang De's tone of respect, Yuan Shang saw that he spoke firmly, and had some questions in his heart. After thinking about it, he said, "Well, okay, you two will go down and rest first. After Yuan understands the specific situation, he will make another reward for you."
The second general immediately thanked and retreated. After Yuan Shang watched the two of them leave, he immediately touched his chin, and the thoughts in his mind fell into deep thought.
After a while, Zhao Yun walked into the handsome tent with great strides. Looking at Yuan Shang's slightly worried face, Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said lightly: "What's wrong? Is there something in my heart?"
Yuan Shang looked up at him, gently tapped the table, and said, "It was suddenly incorporated into the Ma family army, and the number of people and generals increased unprecedentedly. The entire transfer of troops and personnel relations need to be further straightened out, which is very complicated. Not to mention that Ma Chao is a thorn, but the Pang De from Nan'an doesn't seem to be very convinced. These rotten horse troughs are a little difficult to manage in the future."
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "That person Ma Chao has a thriving personality and is brave and brave. He has had a gap with us. It is indeed a bit difficult to completely conquer his heart in the short term. However, I think that Pang De is both brave and capable of distinguishing right and wrong. He should not be a master who can slap himself. How can you have any objections to him?"
Yuan Shang sighed long, and then explained to Zhao Yun clearly what had just happened. Finally, he sighed a long time ago and said helplessly: "I will give the two generals rewards to the two generals by taking advantage of this defeat of Cao Chun. Yan Xing accepted it quite well. But Pang De said that he would not accept my reward. I don't know if he had prejudice against me, or if he really didn't feel that he had made any contributions, which made me confused."
Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "Actually, in my opinion, Pang De has no prejudice against you. In fact, what he really dislikes is just that Yan Xing."
"Yan Xing?" Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this and said curiously: "Why did Yan Xing do that? He took his child and jumped into the well?"
Zhao Yun: "Can you be more serious?"
Yuan Shang laughed and said, "Just just kidding, what's going on? You might as well tell me what you know so that I can analyze and analyze it carefully."
Hearing this, Zhao Yun immediately explained his dissatisfaction with Yan Xing's various behaviors during this period to Yuan Shang, and finally said in a summary: "Lord, in my opinion, Yan Xing is not a trustworthy general. Not to mention how despicable and harsh he attacked Cao Chun this time, just talking about the incident of his betrayal of Han Sui, you can see the character of this person. To be fair, Han Sui is a little bit
He was stupid and was a bit too despicable to do things, but he always treated Yan Xing with confidence and trust in his confidant generals and gave him high hopes. However, as a general under Han Sui, Yan Xing completely betrayed him without any intention of Han Sui's intent. Not only did he hide Ma Teng privately against his orders, but he also abandoned him in the face of danger to protect himself. How can such a person stay in the tent for his own use? I am afraid that he will be troubled in the future!"
When Yuan Shang heard this, his face became deeper. Before he knew it, he seemed to think of Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Wei Yan when he was watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life.
After pondering for a long time, Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "Brother Zilong, what do you think of Yan Xing's bravery and talented generals?"
Zhao Yun thought for a while and nodded, "The martial arts are very brave, not inferior to the powerful generals such as Zhang He. He has a lot of mind and the ability to deploy troops is of top quality. He is a rare good general."
Yuan Shang nodded after hearing this, "That's it. To be fair, in Hebei, there are many soldiers, many grains, many generals and advisers, but the only thing that is lacking is the generals and powerful generals who can stand alone! Since Yan Liangwen died, I have always felt a little stretched in the Hebei generals. Although there are many people, the talents that are available are not enough. Now that Ma Teng's army has surrendered, my subordinates have more Ma Chao, Pang De, and Yan Xing out of thin air, these useful talents are available,
It is the time to show his ambitions and show his strength. At this time, if he kills him because of a small matter out of thin air, who will be willing to surrender to our army in the future? And the generals of the Ma family army will inevitably be in danger and have a grudge against me. Moreover, although Yan Xing's actions are unfaithful, they have made great contributions to our army. If it were not for him, I would have basically never expected what the current situation in the Guanzhong battlefield. Killing one person and blocking the hope of the world is, I personally think it is not advisable."
Zhao Yun sighed after hearing this, shook his head and said, "When you see, just keep him like this? Are you not afraid of any disaster in the future."
Yuan Shang shook his head and said, "There should be no problem with you and I. Just look at it carefully. To be honest, I really feel reluctant to kill Yan Xing."
"Okay!" Zhao Yun nodded after hearing this, "Since you want to keep him, I can't stop him too much. However, for safety reasons, you'd better place him under my command, and let me arrange and transfer it, or you can control it."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shang nodded and smiled, "No problem, just do what you said. Let Yan Xing be by your side, you are the master and he is the deputy. If you use it, you should also prevent it. Is it okay?"
However, Yuan Shang did not expect that it was a decision made him regret it even more than today! It led to a huge chaos in the future, which almost made him regret it for the rest of his life.
******************************
Weinan, Cao cāo Daying.
The three sides of Yuan, Cao and Ma fought. Yuan and Ma suddenly joined forces halfway, and caught Cao off guard. The troops were damaged by huge damage, which was almost a serious injury to the vitality, which really made Cao Cao heartbroken.
However, in addition to this matter, what made Cao cāo even more sad was that he always thought that Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry, was injured in this battle. The first night after withdrawing his troops back to the camp, he died suddenly due to a wound, which made Cao cāo lose his beloved general while defeating the army. The pain in his heart could hardly be expressed in words.
In the temporary mourning hall built for Cao Chun by Cao camp, Cao cāo looked at Cao Chun's tablet with his eyes empty. He stood there overnight. His lips were chapped, his hair and beard turned white, as if he had grown old for dozens of years overnight, like a towering old man, shaking in the twilight years.
Behind Cao cāo, Cheng Yu also accompanied him motionlessly. This old man who was usually tough and wise seemed to have no good plans at this moment. He just stood by Cao cāo silently and used his own actions to show his loyalty to Cao cāo.
After standing there for a whole night, Cheng Yu finally breathed a long sigh and said, "Mr. Ming, you haven't eaten for several hours."
Cao cāo's posture was still unmoved. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Zhongde, do you think that at this time, Gu is still in the mood to eat anything?"
Cheng Yu sighed long and said, "Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. How can there be no one in a war? What's more, our army's strategy this time can be said to be without any problems. It's just that who said that the will of heaven actually allowed the Ma family army and Yuan Shang to resolve the grudge. This is the will of heaven and that it is not reversible by humans. Ming Gong doesn't need to blame himself too much."
"God's will?" Cao cāo shook his head when he heard this and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it may not be. If he had been here, with his wisdom, he would definitely be able to think carefully and would definitely not let Gu have such a crushing defeat!"
Cheng Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Isn't this a kind of will forbidden to leave Xudu when Fengxiao is sick?"
Cao cāo was stunned when he heard this, and then whispered: "Can you say that the will of heaven should be in Yuan now?"
Cheng Yu was silent for a while: "God's will is unpredictable, and I am not sure. However, compared to Yuan Shang, I am more worried about Xu Du's safety. The lord Liu Biao is not worth worrying about. However, Liu Bei is sleeping on firewood and tasting gall in Jingzhou, but he must be careful."
