The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Vol 8 Chapter 43: It's easy to take it from the crowd, it's easy to talk about it in a ch

Cao Cao threw himself away in Hanoi, and Yingchuan almost broke out in civil strife.

But it was Kong Mi who saw Xun Zhen and Sun Jian return. Because of the consecutive victories over Dong Bing and An Ran's withdrawal, Xun Zhen's reputation grew. On the other hand, Kong Dian's army had very few guests, and they were incomparable. Also, the generals and commanders in the Yuzhou army often feasted with Xie Rong and others. When it was mentioned that Xun Zhen must be admired, and Kong Dian was greatly admired. The respect that was not much in the past has become less and less, and Kong Duo is restless because of this, and he has the idea of ​​leaving Yingchuan and returning to the prefecture.

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian learned about Kong Ni's thoughts from the generals of the Yuzhou Army almost at the same time.

Xun Zhen said to Sun Jian: "Kong Yuzhou wants to return to the prefecture, we should not stop him, but if he leaves, the momentum of our Yuzhou rebel army will be reduced a lot, and it may not be good for Dong. In order to ask Dong's plan, ... Wentai, you said before he left, should you and I send him off?"

Sun Jian was not so tactful as Xun Zhen said, he said bluntly: "The incompetent generation of Kong Yuzhou, he wants to go, let him go, but he can't take all of his 30,000 to 40,000 works. , how many soldiers and horses do you think we should let him keep?"

When Kong Ni finished borrowing food and weapons, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian began to play his part again.

Xun Zhen said, "Half of Kong Yuzhou's tents are prefectural soldiers, so it is difficult to keep them. The only ones who can lend you and me are his more than 20,000 prefectural soldiers. You and I can't ask him to borrow them all. Come on, borrow half of it."

"That's 10,000 people?" Sun Jian felt that it was too few and not enough.

"With the grain reserves in your army and the grain reserves in Yingchuan, in addition to supporting the existing troops, at most it can support 10,000 people. If there are more, the food will not be enough."

"Well then, just follow Qing's words and ask him for ten thousand state soldiers."

"It's not 'to', Wentai,...it's to 'borrow'."

"Yes, 'borrow'."

Xun Zhen and Sun Jian smiled at each other, and Sun Jian added, "It's just that there is a loan but no repayment."

After saying "borrow", go to "borrow". After inquiring about the exact day when Kong Dian led the army to leave the county and return to the prefecture, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian waited quietly. The soldiers and horses pulled out of the camp and headed east. The two of them also ordered their soldiers and horses, each with three thousand elites, came out of the camp, took a trail, rushed in front of Kong Yu's marching road, and intercepted them horizontally.

When Kong Dian heard the news in the Central Army, he was shocked, and asked Kong De and Li Yanzhu who were beside Congxing: "I am returning to the prefecture, but why did Marquis Xun and Marquis Sun intercept them?" Asked the officers who came to report the news, "Xun What did Hou and Sun Hou say? Did they reveal the intention of the two of them?"

"Marquis Xun said that he is here to send the envoy back to the mansion."

Kong Yu said in his heart, "How can there be such a way of sending troops to block the road and intercept them head-on?"

He couldn't guess Xun Zhen and Sun Jian's intentions, and was very frightened. He couldn't sit still, stood up, walked around in the not too spacious car, and muttered, "What the **** are the two of them coming from? How can this be good? How can this be good?"

When Xun Zhen and Sun Jian went out of the county to join the army, he thought that the two of them would be defeated, waiting to see their jokes, but he didn't expect that the two of them would come back with a winning streak, and their prestige would be even stronger. Now, he is long gone. The idea of ​​fighting with Xun Zhen and Sun Jian again, or else he would not take the initiative to leave Yingchuan and return to the prefecture, but he had already surrendered and everyone was about to leave, why did Xun Zhen and Sun Jian stop him?

The officer who came to report the news said from outside the car, "Do you want to invite Xun Hou and Sun Hou over here?"

"Just say I'm unwell and can't see guests. Go and say thank you to Xun Hou and Sun Hou for me, and thank them for coming to see me in person."

The officer said, "Marquis Xun and Marquis Sun are not far in front of the envoy's car, why should the envoy express their thanks in person?"

"Ah? ..., not far in front of my car?"

"Yes."

Kong Mi was furious. Needless to say, this must be because the soldiers in front did not stop Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, but took the initiative to let them in. Otherwise, how could Xun Zhen and Sun Jian quietly enter his army? , in front of his car?

But what about being angry?

Kong Yu sat down slumped and said, "Since you are in front of my car, please invite the two of them over."

Kong De said on the side, "Since Marquis Xun and Marquis Sun said that they are here to send Bo Fang back to the mansion, it seems that Bo Fang should not sit in the car and wait."

"Qing Yan is very true." Kong Yu had no choice but to get out of the car and wait outside the car.

It didn't take long for him to see Xun Zhen and Sun Jian coming together under the leadership of several officers from their own army.

Kong Yu forced a smile and said, "Why dare the two generals send each other off."

Xun Zhen said in a warm voice, "Why didn't you tell the two of me in advance when I sent you back to the manor? If we had to get the news in time, we might not be able to send it off."

"The two generals are busy with military affairs, and I dare not disturb this trivial matter."

Sun Jian was unhappy, and said loudly, "Today we are together with the rebels and gathered in Yingchuan for the sake of the country's righteousness, to make you leave without a word, and to destroy the military prestige of Yuzhou, how can this be a trivial matter?"

"I'm not feeling well, so..."

Sun Jian interrupted him and asked, "What's wrong with Shijun?"

"Stomach upset."

Kong Yu's words were true, and he didn't know whether it was because he ate something bad or for some reason. He had been very uncomfortable in his stomach these days and often had diarrhea. Originally, he wanted to use some illness as an excuse, but under Sun Jian's aggressive questioning, he panicked and told the truth.

Sun Jian was furious, took a step forward, and scolded: "It is the state who is arguing against Dong today! Jian and Xun Hou risked arrows and stones, went to danger, faced Dong's soldiers, stabbed with white swords, sacrificed their lives, and did not regret even if they died. , it is for the Han family, to seek retribution, but the envoy led the army back east because of a stomach discomfort, and dared to ask the envoy: In the eyes of the envoy, the righteousness of the country is not as good as your intestines. Stomach discomfort?"

Kong Mi knew that he had lost his words, his face was as red as dripping blood, forced by Sun Jian's aura, he stepped back several steps in succession, mumbling and saying nothing.

Kong De, Li Yan and others around him were also embarrassed.

The Yuzhou Army officers who led Xun Zhen and Sun Jian over were disdainful.

Sun Jian drew his sword in his hand, inserted it into the ground, looked at Kong Yu, and said, "Since the righteousness of the country is not enough to make you feel sick for a while, then if you want to leave, please leave as much as you want, but before I leave, I have a question. Kindly please."

Kong Yu really wanted to answer: "Since it's an 'unkind request', then don't say it." At the end of the day, he didn't dare, and said respectfully, "General, please tell me."

"Dong Zhuo's army is prosperous, if your lord does not leave, then you will have him join forces with me and Xun Hou, and you can fight against Dong's soldiers. Now that you want to leave, I and Xun Hou have few soldiers, and we are not enough to fight against Dong's soldiers. Please envoy. You left 20,000 soldiers and horses to lend to me and Marquis Xun."

Kong Yu said, "Borrowing 20,000 soldiers?"

"Exactly."

"Although there are 40,000 soldiers in my army, half of them are county soldiers. After I return to the prefecture, these county soldiers will all return to their own county. There are no 20,000 soldiers and horses that can be lent to the two generals."

"Excluding half of the county soldiers, aren't there 20,000 state soldiers?"

Kong Yu said in his heart, "I only lend 20,000 state soldiers to you two. What state prefect should I be?"

Xun Zhen said: "Wentai, after the county soldiers are removed, the total number of state soldiers is more than 20,000. How can you and I borrow them all?" Turning to Kong Yu, he said, "Wentai and I are not embarrassed to make the king, 20,000. , if you can’t borrow it, how about 10,000 people?”

Kong Dian looked at the officers who brought Xun Zhen and Sun Jian over, all of them were officers from the state army, and he thought to himself, "These are the things you eat inside and out! That's all, he lent them all to Xun and Sun. Let's see how they die in the future!" Knowing that if he didn't agree to lend troops to Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, he would definitely not be able to leave, so he gritted his teeth and replied, "It's okay for ten thousand people."

Xun Zhen said again: "My Wentai Department and I are still in short supply of weapons and supplies. If you have any excess, please borrow some more."

Kong Yu said in his heart, "Before you dispatched troops, you stole so much grain and armaments from me, how could it be short of time?" But it would not work if you didn't agree, and replied, "Okay, okay."

"Then please send out the soldiers and horses lent to me and Wentai, and then ask the envoy to fetch food and weapons." Xun Zhen looked up at the sky, and then said, "It's not noon yet, so if you can handle your hands and feet. Be quick, so as not to delay the envoy's journey today."

Kong Ni named all the military and generals in the prefectures who were usually disrespectful to him or disliked him, gathered enough thousands of people, and gave them to Xun Zhen and Sun Jian.

As Xun Zhen said, when he finished these things, it was just after noon and not long, and it really didn't delay his trip today.

With the army, food, and weapons, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian were no longer embarrassed for Kong Ni, and allowed him to lead the army away.

From Kong De sitting in the car next to Kong Duo, he set off with Kong Duo, pulled the curtain of the car, looked back at Xun Zhen and Sun Jian who were standing on the side of the road, and sighed in his heart: "Kong Gong is talking about a high-level talk, and we will sit at the table. In the meantime, it is difficult to meet the enemy, and let all the armies and brigades be set aside for conquest. When it comes to courage, it is not as good as the little finger of Xun Hou and Sun Hou. The sea is safe, Kong Gong has not lost his good master, and the world is in chaos. Kong Gong is not a wise ruler."

The idea of ​​leaving Kong Yu and changing the court~www.wuxiaspot.com~ watched Kong Yu lead the troops away, Xun Zhen and Sun Jian were in a happy mood.

The two had made an appointment before they came to see Kong Yu, and all the soldiers and goods to come would be divided into five parts, one half per person.

At the moment, the two of them are on this side of the road. Half of you and half of me have divided up the grain and materials. They have also divided the tens of thousands of state soldiers into two parts, each of which is 5,000. After that, the soldiers of the headquarters are divided into two parts. Gathered food and weapons, brought them back to the camp, and talked with each other happily with the generals and colonels of the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Prefectures, leading them to return to the camp as well.

Most of the 10,000 state soldiers left by Kong Dian did not respect Kong Dian very much, but they admired Xun Zhen and Sun Jian very much. Not only did they have no resistance to changing to Xun Zhen and Sun Jian, but they were very happy.

Xun Zhen's camp was in the south of the city, and Sun Jian's camp was in the east of the city.

Xun Zhen returned to the camp, and when he arrived at the tent, he gave the military order to set up a banquet in the evening, in preparation for having a drink with the five thousand state soldiers, and planned to invite Xie Rong, Ding Meng, and Liu Bing as well. After having a feast together, Dian Wei came in outside the tent and reported: "The guard at Yuanmen came to report, saying that there are hundreds of young people outside the camp begging to see the prince."
