As the sun rises, Yuan Yao is still sleeping soundly.
Not far outside the tent, several Yuan Jun generals gathered together and talked non-stop.
The person these people were discussing was naturally Taishi Ci who rode away yesterday.
"I can't see anyone so far. I think he probably ran away!"
The one who said this was Army Sima Xu Qian who led his troops to attack Zhanjing County yesterday.
"Run away?" Xu Ding said angrily: "This thief is really hateful!"
"Why are you two so anxious? It's not even noon yet!"
Yuan Wu was smiling playfully, with his hands on his hips, and he didn't look like he was singing a long song at all.
"What, do you really believe he will come back?"
Xu Qian said disdainfully.
"I don't believe in anyone." Yuan Wu shook his head, "I only believe in the young master!"
"screw you!"
"What are you talking about here? Have your respective camp affairs been sorted out? You are just gossiping here!"
A sound of scolding came from behind, and several people immediately calmed down.
Xu Ding and Yuan Wu quickly handed over their hands and said respectfully: "Captain!"
Xu Qian raised his eyebrows and raised his hand casually: "Captain Zhang."
He and Zhang Kai do not belong to each other, and they are only one level lower than Zhang Kai in terms of military rank. Naturally, they are not as respectful as the other two.
Yesterday's battle, Xu Qian was ordered to go around and capture Jingxian County, successfully completing the task of removing wages from the bottom of the cauldron given by Yuan Yao.
Not only did they kill the weak defender, but they also forced hundreds of defenders to surrender. The casualties they incurred were only dozens of people.
However, when he came to the military camp to report to Yuan Yao this morning, he found that there were many fewer sergeants in the camp!
After asking, I found out that out of the 6,000 people Zhang Kai brought out yesterday, only 2,000 people were left when they came back!
Outnumbered and outnumbered, but more than half of them were lost!
More than a thousand people were killed and injured, and countless people fled and disappeared!
In Xu Gan's view, this is not a tragic victory, but a tragic defeat!
"What, Captain Zhang, do you want to inspect my camp affairs?"
Xu Qian looked at Zhang Kai slightly provocatively.
"Guarantee that the management personnel are in good order and the troops are in good condition!"
"Xu Jun Sima, what do you mean?"
Yuan Wu and Xu Ding's expressions suddenly changed.
"We were following orders to cheat..."
Before he could say anything, Zhang Kai glared at Yuan Wu fiercely.
Indeed, even if it was a fake defeat, his defeat was a bit too miserable and he had nothing to say.
"snort!"
Seeing that Zhang Kai didn't answer, Xu Qian snorted coldly and turned around and left.
"Captain, this man..."
Xu Ding pointed at Xu Qian, feeling very unfair.
Yuan Wu was even more arrogant: "Without us, he could steal Jingxian County, what's the point of his arrogance?"
Zhang Kai waved his hand to stop the two people from complaining.
He actually doesn't care what others think of him. Anyway, good or bad, he still needs a little meat.
"You haven't returned to camp yet?"
"Have the soldiers who were re-assigned to you yesterday been organized and trained into a regiment?"
"Go back to Captain, we have all compiled it this morning."
Yuan Wu and Xu Ding looked stern and replied immediately.
"Then you haven't started practicing yet, what are you doing waiting here?"
"If you go to the battlefield again like yesterday, don't blame others for making sarcastic remarks!"
Zhang Kai glared at the two of them, waved his hands and left.
The two of them couldn't help but feel ashamed when they heard this, and sent Zhang Kai away with their hands.
"Let's go back and get acquainted with the familiar people. It's time to go out for training."
Yuan Wu breathed a sigh of relief.
…
At noon, Taishi Ci returned as promised.
But no one informed him because Yuan Yao was still sleeping.
It wasn't until he reached the Chinese army's tent that Chen Daocai, who was guarding the door, said:
"The Commander-in-Chief has an order. When Tai Shici returns, he can go directly to the main tent. There is no need to report!"
Although Taishi Ci had doubts, he still opened the curtain and walked in directly.
Seeing Yuan Yao lying down, I thought he was taking a nap, so he said:
"Tai Shi Ci has returned to camp, please supervise me!"
"Tai Shi Ci has returned to camp, please supervise me!"
Seeing that Yuan Yao didn't respond, Tai Shici had no choice but to raise his voice and repeat it.
"Haha~" Yuan Yao turned around, stretched out his arms and let out a long yawn.
"Oh, I'm back!"
Yuan Yaomi stared and forced herself to sit up.
"I'm sorry, I didn't sleep all night last night because I was rectifying military affairs."
"Get up."
"yes."
The corner of Taishi Ci's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, "You really think I can't run away!"
"How many people are you bringing back?"
Yuan Yao rubbed the corners of his eyes and picked up his shoes with his toes.
"Go back to the governor, eight hundred people."
"That's quite a lot!"
Yuan Yao put on his shoes, stood up and stretched, then turned around with his back to Tai Shici and washed his face with water.
"I'll allocate another 1,200 people to you to make up the whole team. Don't think it's too few!"
"Um?"
"The letter of Captain Huaiyi's talisman is on the table. You can take it yourself. Don't think that the captain's rank is low. It's not easy to deal with a captain with a name."
"Um?!"
Taishi Ci was confused and didn't understand what happened.
Turning to look at the case, there was indeed a dark and shiny copper talisman letter.
Taishi Ci picked it up. On the front, there were four characters "Huaiyi Xiaowei" engraved on it, and on the back, there was a lifelike tiger-shaped picture.
If he remembered correctly, the official military position Sun Ce held at the beginning was that of Huaiyi Colonel.
"This talisman...could it be that Sun Bo talisman held it before?"
"Yes, but now that he has become a general, Fang Fuxin will be returned to me."
Yuan Yao wiped his face and said, "Why, do you think this is a second-hand product?"
It’s really what Sun Ce used!
Taishi Ci suddenly became excited, knelt down and kowtowed, holding up the talisman letter with both hands: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for the promotion!"
"Tai Shi Ci will definitely serve the Governor to the death from now on!"
Yuan Yao knew that Tai Shici had understood what he meant, so he smiled and said: "Don't keep talking about life and death, it is unlucky!"
"Just work hard from now on, I'm optimistic about you!"
Taishi Ci naturally understood what Yuan Yao meant.
Before entering Yuan Jun's camp, Tai Shici had doubted whether Yuan Yao would be like Kong Rong and Liu Yao, who did not grant him soldiers and horses because of his humble background, and only allowed himself to be a young cavalry general who scouted the enemy's situation.
But it wasn't until this moment that Tai Shici realized that what Yuan Yao said to him yesterday were all true!
He really came for himself!
It’s not that Taishi Ci never thought that one day he would lead the troops and horses under the tents of the princes, but he didn’t expect that this day would come so quickly!
Not only was Yuan Yao granted military power as soon as he came here, but he was also awarded the military title of Captain Huaiyi!
What does it mean?
This is the rhythm in which Yuan Yao regards himself as a heroic figure like Sun Ce and believes that he will become a big thing in the future!
If you meet the Lord of Ming like this, what else can you ask for?
"Okay, I guess you've been struggling all night. I've already had someone set up a clean tent for you."
"You remember Chen Dao, he will take you to help you settle your subordinates."
Yuan Yao washed his hands and face, and helped Tai Shici up: "Have a good rest, and then it's time for you to show off your skills!"
