Remember [ ] in a second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

Qu Yi ordered the infantry to crouch under the shield, resisting the crossbows and arrows of the enemy, and ordered the troops to be executed, and those who retreated were executed.

Although Quyi's minions are all veterans, they used to fight against Qiang Hu in the borderlands, and they were all dead soldiers in Liangzhou. They were used to seeing the scenes of enemy cavalry galloping, but Gongsun Zan was famous for beating Qiang Hu in Youzhou. He had to hear the wind and ran away, and he broke the yellow turban by hundreds of thousands before, but his Youzhou cavalry was not comparable to the Qiang Hu. It is also inevitable that their hairs stand on end. Even if they do not care about death and cannot be called fear, there are many who cannot control their emotions and tremble unconsciously.

Kou Yijin was at the forefront of the soldiers.

This action of his calmed the heart of the part.

It wasn't until Gongsun Zan's cavalry that rushed to the front of the ambush, Quyi ordered his troops to fight. With an order, all eight hundred Deathstones removed their shields and jumped up with their soldiers. Jian Zhang Shi, who was in the back line, shot arrows to help.

Gongsun Zan's cavalry never imagined that Qu Yi would adopt such a dangerous tactic, let alone that Qu Yi's trilogy would be so brave. The soldier stabbed the war horse, and suddenly the people turned on their backs and became a mess. The distance they charged was neither too long nor too short. When they galloped here, the speed of the war horses was very fast. The front was in a mess, and the ones behind didn't have time to turn. It's a mess of horses, and some are in a hurry, trying to stop the horses, but the mounts are rushing fast, how can they stop? The horses rushed forward, they pulled back, and their backs were double-strengthed, so that they didn't have to collide with their own troops in front, and their horses fell on their own.

Yuan Jun's Zan Zhang soldiers took the opportunity to shoot continuously, Qu Yi took the lead, shouted and swung the blade, leading the dead soldiers to slash and slash, fighting in the chaotic Zan cavalry, advancing bravely, making the already chaotic Zan cavalry not only There is no time to rectify, and it is getting more and more messy.

This chaotic situation spread from Zanqi's front army to the middle formation, and then to the rear formation.

The Zan cavalry who rushed into the formation were defeated, and they all fled to the sides and back.

Yuan Shao dispatched the main force in time to press on, attacked from Quyi, and directly attacked Gongsun Zan's main formation.

Gongsun Zan reassigned several generals in an attempt to reverse the defeat and stabilize his position. However, the defeat was like a mountain, and Qu Yi was unstoppable. He successively beheaded several generals of Zan's army, including Yan Gang, and won more than a thousand heads of soldiers. Gongsun Zan's main infantry formation was then also defeated by the main forces of Qu Yi and Yuan's army.

Gongsun Zan had no choice but to retreat with a few battalions of soldiers he could still control. Qu Yi led the dead soldiers and some Yuan soldiers in hot pursuit. Gongsun Zan retreated to Jieqiao, where he built a stronghold. Barriers, arrays also fought with Kou Yi. Qu Yi fought bravely forward, and he went ahead without any advance. He killed the generals of Zan's army and his heart was broken, and he couldn't stop him at all.

Gongsun Zan had a fortress to rely on. Although Qu Yi had defeated Gongsun Zan's army, he could not make Zan's army retreat for a while. In the hinterland of Zan's camp, Gongsun Zan knew that it was impossible to control him, because Bai Ma Yi and other personal guards fled in a hurry, Qu Yi killed Gongsun Zan's handsome tent and seized Gongsun Zan's tooth flag in one fell swoop.

The so-called "Ivory Flag", also known as Gongsun Zan's handsome flag, is the military flag erected in front of the main general's tent. This flag is really the courage of the three armies. After Qu Yi took it, all the soldiers shouted "Gongsun Zan is dead". Although the Zan army did not know the truth or the fake, but when they saw that the Ya flag was taken by the enemy, those who didn't believe it also believed it, and immediately collapsed. The soldiers walked away, all abandoning the camp to escape.

At this point, Kou Yi won the battle.

When Xun Zhen saw this, advisor Xun Yu and the others said, "How is it?"

His question was endless, just two words, but Xun Yu and others knew what he was asking, and they must be asking what generals in his own army could compare with Qu Yi.

Xun You pondered for a while, then said: "Qi Yi ambush under the shield, his courage is extraordinary, he holds the flag and pulls up the base, the brave is brave, but the champion, Wu Wei, Li Feng, and Heng Ye are all enemies, but the dead are the real ones. There is no one in ten thousand, and those who can compare in the army may only be champions and middle base."

Liu Deng, Dian Wei, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, the rank of school captain, as well as Wenpin, Gan Ning, Pan Zhang, etc. that Xun You did not mention, are all fierce generals in Xun's army. As far as the elite level of the trilogy is concerned, in Xun You's opinion, only the infantry of Liu Deng and Xun Pu can compare with Quyi's dead soldiers.

Xi Zhicai and Xun Yu had slightly different opinions, but they shared the same view as Xun You, that Qu Yi's 800 dead men were indeed rare.

Xun Zhen said: "The Art of War says: 'It is better to die than to die with pleasure, to die with pleasure than to die willingly, and to die willingly than with righteousness'. Xi Zhicai and others said, "The recruits are being trained, and the military discipline, fighting, and formation have been taught. I intend to teach them about righteousness and benevolence, so that they can become the army of 'righteous death'. What do you think? ?"

This is a question that Xun Zhen has been thinking about for a long time, and it is also what he has long wanted to do.

It's just that he didn't have a stable territory before, and the war was going on. He didn't have time to implement his idea. Now that the territory is there, there are plenty of good soldiers and good generals. It's useful, he thinks, he can spend a little more time on training, because he's intentionally trying to do this to see if he can get good results.

Xun Yu asked: "What is the meaning of my brother's teaching? What kind of benevolence is it to guide?"

"The soldiers came from the people's homes, but now there are wars and many people die, so that the soldiers can empathize with them and know how to love the people. This is the kindness I want to guide. With this kindness, I can make the soldiers know the martial arts, stop the war, and understand what it means to fight. The reason for the war is the meaning of what I want to teach."

Xun Yu expressed his approval, saying, "'Ten thousand people will die, and the world will run rampant.' If there are thousands of people who can get 'righteous death', the people will be lucky, and the world will not be settled!"

In Xun Zhen's understanding, "death with righteousness" actually means having faith and dying for ideals and beliefs. It is not unusual for newly recruited soldiers who were born poor, illiterate, with low "ideological awareness" and strong "small peasant consciousness" to do this. In a year or even a few years, strive to be able to "teach and guide" more than a thousand soldiers of "righteous death" - according to the current environment, due to the limitations of the times, it is impossible to teach all the parts into , Xun Zhen was satisfied if he could teach several thousand people, and then he could use these thousands of people to influence other soldiers and expand his ideas.

Xun Zhen was not sure whether this could be done or not.

Although Xun Yu agreed, Xun You and Xi Zhicai also agreed, but Xun Zhen knew that the "righteous death" that the three of them considered and the "righteous death" that he wanted to make the soldiers achieve were essentially different things.

After discussing with Xun Yu and others for a while, they roughly settled on the principles and methods of teaching soldiers to die righteously. Xun Zhen handed over the responsibility to Xun Yu, and personally took charge of it. It was decided that the establishment of the institution would be started from now on, etc. Once the organization is established, it will be implemented in the military.

Xun Zhen then looked down.

When Quyi attacked Gongsun Zan's camp, Yuan Shao was more than ten li behind, and he was supervising the battalions, either chasing and destroying the fleeing enemy, or rushing to aid Quyi. He heard that Zan's camp was broken, Yuan Shao relaxed and got off his horse to rest. There was not much around him. The soldiers guarded only a few dozen crossbows and more than a hundred halberdists, but they were surrounded by more than 2,000 scattered cavalry of Gongsun Zan. Tian Feng, as the mastermind, was at Yuan Shao's side and helped him to escape behind the wall. Yuan Shao, a ranger in his early years, was proud of himself. He took off his pockets and threw it on the ground. The soldiers pushed the soldiers to fight, and the Zan cavalry did not know Yuan Shao who was surrounded, so he retreated a little. Coincidentally, after the great victory of Qu Yi, he came back to welcome Yuan Shao and went to Zan Ying to watch his victory.

Yuan Shao saw Qu Yi and asked him about the battle. After listening to Qu Yi, he said, "I originally took the general as the vanguard, intending to dampen the spirit of Zan's army, and then I attacked him again with the main force, but the general defeated him unexpectedly! With few enemies, the infantry should be the cavalry, and the general should not be afraid?"

Qu Yi said: "I was ordered to face the enemy, only to defeat the thieves in order to repay the public's kindness, how can I know life and death!"

Yuan Shao was very angry and said: "The general first ascended to defeat the enemy, and now defeating Gongsun, the general's merit is also!" Seeing Qu Yi's blood-stained armor, while fighting the enemy, he was not tired, but he was still determined to force people, and he was secretly awe-inspiring.

Yuan Shao's psychological activities~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Xun Zhen didn't know, he saw this, and saw that Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's battle was at the end of the battle, and then looked down, that is, after Gongsun Zan's defeat, he shrank his front. retreated north. Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan's battle for Jizhou, after each other's strengths, hit this point. Although Gongsun Zan was defeated, his strength was still there, and Yuan Shao was victorious, but it was far from over when it was time to celebrate.

Xun Zhen thought to himself: "The battle between Yuan Benchu ​​and Gongsun Bogui, compared with the original history, doesn't seem to have changed much." After thinking about it, he guessed the reason, and thought, "Yes, I am far away. Xuzhou has little influence on Ji and Youzi."

Xun Zhen's current influence is, of course, much larger than before, but mainly in Xu and Henan. With the development of the current situation, it can gradually deepen the influence in Yan, Yang and Qing. So far, it has also spread to Not to Youzhou and Jizhou.

Xi Zhicai said: "Gongsun Bogui is defeated but still has strength. It seems that sooner or later he will have to fight with Yuan Benchu ​​again." After a while, he said, "If Bogui does not fight, he will win at the beginning. , and will certainly pursue, until next spring at the latest, Youji will still have to fight."

Xun Zhen and others all agreed.

Xun Zhen said: "For me, there are still ample strategic opportunities." Mobile phone users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
