Liang Qiu, one of the princes in Guanzhong, looked at the "treasures" everywhere, swallowed softly, and whispered to the other two princes beside him, Yang Qiu and Zhang Heng: "Mr. Yang, Mr. Zhang, how come Yuan Jun suddenly Withdrew? There is still luggage all over the place, where is this fun?"
The prince Yang Qiu scratched his head in confusion and replied: "Yuan Jun's actions are very strange and profound, which is difficult to understand. I don't know much about it either."
Liang Xing looked around hesitantly, and then whispered: "Let's just leave. Who are we to covet if we leave such a place? Yuan Jun really thinks of us as local leopards who have never seen the world." ...But, Brother Yang and Brother Zhang, don’t you think that Hebei people are a bit too greedy for their natural resources? It’s such a waste to just throw away so many things!”
Hearing this, Yang Qiu nodded in agreement and said, "That's not a bad thing! He even took off his belt and almost lost his pants!"
The prince Zhang Heng, who had been silent, also said with great disdain: "Yuan Jun is so incompetent, no wonder the Hebei army is so incompetent! The quality and level are a bit too low!"
After that, there was a brief silence between the three of them...
When he was young, Yang Qiu couldn't hold it in anymore and whispered a topic that the three of them were currently unable to talk about: "Well...since Yuan Jun is so polite and throws supplies everywhere, let's not be polite to him... ..Pick some back?"
Zhang Heng nodded quickly when he heard this: "That's right! That's right! Since we have driven away Yuan Jun and won the battle, we should clean up the battlefield. This is also our duty! Sage Kong said it well, and everything must have a beginning and an end. !”
Liang Xing stroked his beard with an upright face, nodded and said: "What Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yang said is very true. Liang agrees with it... But I must declare in advance that we are not here to take advantage. It is purely Just cleaning the battlefield!"
Zhang Heng nodded heavily when he heard this and said: "That's right! That's right! We brothers have big families and big businesses! How can we look down on his little shit!"
Yang Qiu, who was on the side, nodded along and said, "Brothers, how about we stop talking? Then Li Kan has already led his troops to clean up the battlefield right away~~~!"
Zhang Heng and Liang Xing were startled when they heard this. They looked around and saw that the princes Li Kan and others had come out in full force at some point, noisily running to the battlefield to pick up trophies, picking here and there as if they were shopping in a store. That's a joy to behold.
Liang Xing was shocked when he saw this, and said angrily: "What a Li Kan, how dare you disregard your dignity and clean the battlefield by yourself?! How can I let you monopolize this merit? Virtue!"
After that, he led the crowd away.
Regardless of Zhang Heng, he led the crowd to run towards the battlefield: "Liang Gong, wait! I'm going with you too!"
After that, he also led the crowd away.
Yang Qiu was very anxious when he saw this: "Brothers, give me some leftover! Let me clean up too~~!"
*****************
The Yuan army retreated in droves. At this moment, it was a good opportunity for Xiliang Iron Cavalry to use false cover to kill them!
Pang De took the lead, wielding a sword, looking at the back of Yuan Jun running in the distance, his eyes flashed with fierce fighting spirit.
The great opportunity to make meritorious deeds lies here! Yuan Jun's retreat at this time is really the action of a fool, and we will definitely be defeated!
The exciting situation in front of him made Pang De and the Xiliang cavalry behind him excited. They all couldn't help but speed up the people under their seats. Like the wind rushing through the lightning, like the wind rolling through the ruins of the building, the surging attack came closer and closer!
As the fleeing Yuan Jun got closer and closer, a sudden change occurred!
The coalition of princes led by Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Yang Qiu, Liang Xing and others rushed towards the items and baggage on the grass like a group of beggars like crazy!
It happened that the battlefield being cleaned by the Guanzhong Allied Forces was right in the middle of the Xiliang Cavalry and the Yuan Army. They were scurrying left and right. You picked up a piece of clothing, and I grabbed a pair of trousers. I was very busy!
But he was suddenly blocked in the pursuit route of the Xiliang Cavalry.
The Xiliang cavalry were chasing Yuan Jun with great interest, when a group of rag-picking allies suddenly intervened.
When Pang De and the thousand Xiliang cavalry behind him saw this, they were all shocked and hurriedly reined in their horses like crazy!
But hearing the sound of "creeping" coming from the grassland, more than a thousand cavalry came to a sudden stop and stopped in place, barely able to rush into their own camp.
However, because the brakes were applied too sharply, the Xiliang cavalry's charging formation was suddenly shattered into pieces. The horses kicked people off, and the people shouted at their horses.
Fortunately, they were charging in a line, otherwise if there were a few more lines, in this situation, all the heads of the horses in the back row would have to be stuffed into the horse's buttocks.
The poor Xiliang cavalry was ready to attack with great momentum and wanted to defeat Yuan's army, but their way was blocked by their allies. The battle was not successful. Instead, each one of them stumbled, stunned. A big embarrassment.
Yuan Xi, who was retreating with the army, heard a commotion of people behind him, and couldn't help but look back. He couldn't help but smile when he saw this spectacular scene.
What happened was that this strategy was similar to the strategy used by Cao Cao to attack and kill Wen Chou during the Battle of Guandu.
After Pang De stopped his horse, he raised his hand to stroke the tilted helmet on his head. He glanced angrily at Yuan Jun who had already run away in the distance, and then looked at the coalition of Guanzhong princes in front of him who were cleaning the battlefield... ...
Even though Pound was very well-educated, he couldn't help but curse angrily at this moment!
"You idiots are sick! Why are you blocking the way! Who are you bastards with? Get out of the way! Believe it or not, I will scratch you alive!"
Several Guanzhong coalition troops who were closer to Pound picked up the bowls one by one. After hearing this, they looked up at Pound with dissatisfaction and sneered at his words.
"Why are you howling like a wolf! Didn't you see that we were cleaning the battlefield?"
"It's no use howling! These are all ours, we want to get them by ourselves!"
"Gungungun, move your shabby horse hooves aside! If you step on something, will you pay me to compensate?"
When Pound heard this, he was immediately furious. If these people weren't his allies, Pound would have raised his hand and slashed these short-sighted bastards.
Looking at Yuan Jun again, he had already run far away! It's a pity that such a great God-given opportunity to win slipped through the fingers, and the reason is because these bastards who recognize wealth but not people are blocking the road here!
Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, but be afraid of teammates who are like pigs!
And all these scenes, from beginning to end, all fell in the eyes of Xiliang Jin Machao.
I saw Ma Chao's face becoming paler than ever before, and in his starry eyes looking at the Guanzhong Allied Forces, there was unknowingly filled with fierce anger and strong murderous intent...
The first battle between the Guanzhong Allied Forces and the Bingzhou Yuan Army ended in this way, with both sides having mixed successes and losses.
First, Yuan's soldiers suppressed the Guanzhong coalition forces with bravery, and then the Xiliang cavalry took advantage of the gap and scared all Yuan's army back.
Although the pursuit route was interrupted due to the greed of various princes, it is an undisputed fact that Yuan Jun was so frightened by the Xiliang cavalry that he peed his pants.
Those who have achieved military merit should be treated with the courtesy of a national soldier.
The night after the battle, Chen Gong held a celebration banquet in Dazhai to celebrate repelling Yuan's army.
During this period, Ma Chao and Pang De's Xiliang cavalry were included in the table because they played a decisive role in the victory of the war, ranking above the more than ten princes in Guanzhong.
Although the princes from all walks of life were not treated as honored guests like Ma Chao, but because the battle during the day was very fruitful and they got a lot of supplies and military equipment, they didn't care about it. Everyone sang and drank, and everyone left. I found the crooked one and was very happy.
On the other hand, Ma Chao, who took the most credit this time, had a gloomy face from beginning to end. He neither toasted nor spoke. He just sat there drinking alone, looking at the Guanzhong princes who were all red-faced after drinking. There was a sarcastic smile in his eyes from time to time.
They can't do anything, and they can't eat anything. These allies should really be killed one by one with a stick. What's the use of staying here except causing trouble for others?
Thinking of this, Ma Chao couldn't help but raise his head and took a sip of wine, his expression full of anger and desolation.
Ma Chao's anger and helplessness may not be felt by others, but Chen Gong, who is sitting at the head, can see them one by one without missing a beat.
Palace Chief Chen sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Compared to Ma Chao, Chen Gong was even more depressed at the moment. Ma Chao could show his dissatisfaction with the princes on his face, whether by beating or scolding, ridiculing or getting angry, whatever he wanted.
Ma Chao can defeat his son, but Chen Gong cannot, because he has an important task entrusted by Prime Minister Cao. Even if he is angry or complains, he cannot offend these scattered and unruly princes too much.
Because Chen Gong still needs to use them!
Use them to contain the Yuan family, use them to wipe out Bingzhou... But in the current situation, is it possible?
Thinking of this, Chen Gong couldn't help but smile bitterly, then turned to look at Ma Chao, and thought to himself: Well, since we can't punish these plagued princes, we must at least give an explanation to Ma Chao and Pang De, who have made great contributions!
As the head coach of the coalition forces, I also have to make rewards and punishments clear, so as not to neglect the true warrior's heart.
With this thought, Chen Gong stood up and said to the princes who were drinking and singing: "Everyone, please stop making noise. Someone has something to say, please listen carefully."
For Chen Gong, the princes were still very considerate. After hearing this, they put down their wine glasses and looked at Chen Gong who stood up with a blushing neck.
"Everyone! In today's battle, although we did not capture Yuan Jun's stronghold, we were able to repel it, which demonstrated the power of the emperor and also demonstrated the grandeur of our military in Guanzhong! It can be said to be a great victory!"
After saying that, Chen Gong raised his hand and pointed at Ma Chao, who was among the chiefs, and said with a smile: "Especially Ma Chao, the eldest son of Marquis Huaili, first beheaded the fierce general He Lang of Bingzhou, and then fought with the fierce general Zhao Yun of Hebei. As soon as General Pang De's Xiliang cavalry came out, Yuan Jun was even more frightened and fled! You are really brave as a father! He is worthy of General Fubo... Everyone, Chen proposed that we all join together How about a glass of wine to Major General Ma?"
When the princes heard this, their faces suddenly fell. You looked at me, I looked at you. They stared at each other for a long time before they raised the wine cup in the air, and reluctantly paid respect to Ma Chao with Chen Gong.
Because although Chen Gong was telling the truth, Ma Chao's character was indeed so hateful that every time the princes saw him, they had the urge to pounce on him and bite him!
However, Ma Chao's ability is too high. If he really takes this bite, he will probably kick him to death if he turns around... Now I am willing to toast him. Firstly, today's battle is indeed Ma Chao's meritorious service. Secondly, He also didn't want to offend Chen Gong's face, so he did it reluctantly.
Everyone raised their lamps together, pointed at Ma Chao from a distance, and said in unison: "General Ma's outstanding achievements are unparalleled, and he deserves to be the queen of General Fubo! Let's all respect Major General Ma... Do it !”
After saying that, everyone saw everyone drinking it down in one gulp.
Chen Gong wiped his lips, looking like a simple and honest elder, and said happily: "It is said that those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes will be punished. Only those who have clear rewards and punishments can learn the way of general! Although Chen is not a first-rate general, he is He also knows the secret. Since Major General Ma has made such a great contribution, he should be rewarded. General Ma might as well tell you what kind of reward he wants. If it is within Chen Gong's ability, he will definitely have nothing to lose! "
When the princes in Guanzhong heard this, they couldn't help but be extremely jealous.
Who is Chen Gong? That's Cao Cao's direct descendant! All matters in Guanzhong are entrusted to this person, which shows the importance of Chen Gong in Cao Cao's heart!
Now that Chen Gongken has made the promise in person, what does this mean? This basically represents what Cao Cao meant!
As long as Ma Chao is willing to open his mouth, Chen Gong will definitely send a letter to Xu Du, asking Cao Cao to grant Ma Chao an official position in the name of the emperor, and even a title is not impossible!
Even though he was just a marquis, he was conferred by the orthodox Han Dynasty court! Even Yuan Xi, who had jurisdiction over four states, was very concerned about this famous prince and forcefully asked Cao Cao for the position of a guard! Of course he is now promoted to general.
For these small groups of princes in Guanzhong, this so-called official position of marquis is the best guarantee that they can legitimately manage their own three-acre land.
He not only represents a status, but also a status! A kind of respect! Like the treasures of the sun and moon, its weight is worth one hundred thousand gold!
Ma Chao, this kid, can get such a promise from Chen Gong just by winning a battle. Is this kid's luck too good to be true?
Amid the fiery eyes of the princes, which contained envy and jealousy, Ma Chao slowly stood up, cupped his hands towards Chen Gong, and said indifferently: "Does Governor Chen really mean what he said?"
Chen Gong smiled and nodded: "Chen Mou said it all, and there is no reason to deceive the general! As long as the request is within the scope of my ability, Chen will definitely comply with it!"
In Chen Gong's heart, in addition to wanting to reward Ma Chao, he also admired Ma Chao, a peerless warrior, from the bottom of his heart! He believed that Ma Chao was a talented person who might become famous in the future. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to just sell Ma Chao a favor so casually!
With what happened today, Chen Gong thought that he might be able to form a good relationship with Ma Chao...
It's a pity that he had calculated everything carefully and planned everything properly, but unfortunately, he missed one thing!
