Chapter 374 Design and Formation

Yang Hong finally left in disgrace, regardless of his family background, Yuan Shu's situation was indeed much worse than Yuan Shao's. The key was that his reputation in Nanyang was quite bad.

What is truly lamentable is that the split of the Yuan Clan seems inevitable.The huge family is divided into two groups. The key is that Yuan Yi, the prefect of Sanyo, is closer to Yuan Shao. In other words, the resources of the Yuan Clan may be tilted towards Yuan Shao.

Fortunately, Yuan Kai is still there. As long as he is there, the Yuan Clan will not be allowed to split. Even if Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are at odds, they must maintain the harmony of a big family.Otherwise, with Yuan Kai's thunderous means, both of them will have nothing.

"What, he's so ungrateful?" After returning to the camp, Yuan Shu was annoyed when he heard that Li Ming didn't want to join him, and even sneered at him.

"In the past, Yuan Shao went to Kuaiji County as an envoy to woo Li Ming, and even if he suffered a disadvantage, he would woo him. It seems that they had reached an alliance agreement in private. For example, this time, Li Ming planned to kill Han Meng, which was not the case with Yuan Shao. Prosecute!" Yang Hong analyzed.

"No wonder he took the initiative to invite Ying. So it was planned early in the morning, right? Hmph, as a mere concubine, you actually have the nerve to compete with me for the position of Patriarch?" Yuan Shu's face suddenly became cloudy.

"The most feared thing now is not that Yuan Shao will compete with the lord for the position of Patriarch, but to split the Yuan clan and establish another Yuan clan in Hebei! At that time, the huge clan will be divided into two, and I am afraid that some kittens and puppies will also dare to bully Let's go!" Another counselor next to Yuan Shu said with emotion, he is Yan Xiang, the military advisor under Yuan Shu's command and also the chief bookkeeper.

"We must kill chickens to warn monkeys! Let's use Li Ming as a knife. He is a mere poor family. If he wants to have no background and no identity, he just hooked up with Benchu, so he is ashamed to show me? Don't let him suffer, who will be in the future? They all look down on our Yuan Clan! Besides, since he has taken refuge in Benchu, getting rid of him can be regarded as breaking a finger of Benchu!" Yuan Shu weighed it carefully, and then said slowly.

"My lord, my subordinates have a plan to make Li Ming suffer. If you are unlucky, you may die in battle!" Yang Hong came out.

"If you have any ideas, it's okay to say!" Yuan Shu asked immediately.

"We will add some good ingredients to the next batch of grain, so that they will have more diarrhea, and the soldiers will naturally have no strength to fight. When the time comes, we will take the opportunity to send a letter to Hua Xiong, and the other party will naturally attack Li Ming's troops. It will definitely be a battle at that time." "Yang Hong said slowly, looking like a villain.

"Inappropriate!" Yan Xiang directly denied it, "Now everyone is in the alliance stage, if the other party sees that we have tampered with it, then I'm afraid they will explain this to Yuan Shao, and if Yuan Shao intends to suppress the lord, then Even if there is a mild punishment in the end, the lord's prestige within the Yuan Clan will plummet!"

"That's not what you said!" Yang Hong shook his head. "There are ever-changing changes on the battlefield. If someone doesn't eat something that shouldn't be eaten and has diarrhea, no wonder they can blame the food for problems? Even if the other party really says there is a problem with the food, We can also bite the other side back, anyway, the lord doesn't intend to recruit Li Ming, and Li Ming doesn't plan to take refuge in the lord, so what if we turn against him?"

"Okay, let's do that!" Yuan Shu also figured it out, and agreed directly.

Having said that, the first batch of grain was shipped there before, and the second batch of grain would have to wait for a few days no matter what.At this time, another batch of food was shipped out, and Li Ming might not be able to eat it.

The next day, Li Ming had already recovered from the side effects of Shensuwan.The soldiers have recovered their strength after a night's rest.Originally, if we had to wait another two days, the soldiers' physical strength would have reached the golden age, but Hua Xiong started to gather troops at dawn, and the people in the Sishui Pass were surging. It was hard for the spies on Li Ming's side to know. .

"So urgent? In the case of Hua Xiong, at least he has to take care of him for a few days?" Li Ming suddenly felt strange.

"It's not Hua Xiong's command. The leader is a general under Lu Bu's command named Hao Meng, and there is also the successor Hua Xiong mentioned earlier, Gao Shun. Hua Xiong seems to be still recuperating, so he didn't go out to fight." Spy Report quickly.

"It seems that they plan to come out to claim credit!?" Li Ming immediately understood Hao Meng's intention, and at the same time expressed his disdain.

Lv Bu's Bingzhou generals were integrated into Dong Zhuo's command. They were actually outsiders after all, but overall they were more favored than Sili's original army.In order to go one step further, they will naturally try their best to obtain meritorious service.Hua Xiong and Li Ming fought to a tie. If they win the latter through battle, they will naturally be able to overwhelm the generals of the Liangzhou faction.

Then he looked at Jia Xu, who sensed Li Ming's gaze, and slowly replied, "Hao Meng is from Ding Yuan's old department. Lu Bu switched to his subordinates when he was greedy for life and fear of death. , that is to say, he can lead an army alone, but he is not a general."

"After all, Hao Meng was born as a frontier general. After Ding Yuan conquered Xianbei and the Huns many times, he is considered a veteran, so it is not easy to underestimate! Besides, most of the soldiers under the command of the lord are less than seven feet tall (one foot in the Three Kingdoms = 24.2cm). The other party is eight feet, a few even nine feet, just judging by his physique, the other party has an advantage!" After all, Guo Jia had just joined Li Ming, and immediately came forward to remind him.

"Combat strength is not calculated that way!" Xi Zhicai shook his head, "Most of the opponent's soldiers are disheveled, and they are obviously just looking to eat! Although they look tall, most of them have little strength, and they are not as good as the soldiers under the lord's command. But if you are a veteran soldier of the frontier army, even if you have no strength, you should not be underestimated when fighting, this is what you need to pay attention to!"

After all, Guo Jia has not yet joined the army, and many things cannot be said to be on paper, but it may be a little glimpse of Jiangdong soldiers.

"The other party didn't send out cavalry?" Li Ming climbed up to the arrow tower, which was built by engineering soldiers in one night shift. The concept of standard measuring tools is applicable to many places, including the construction of camps.Three shifts took turns to rest and work non-stop all night. The various infrastructures of the camp became more complete, and more than 20 arrow towers were built around them. A simple wooden platform with more than 50 archers on guard.

Outside the camp are three layers of carbine-rejecting guns, and there are a lot of nails on the ground. If the opponent wants to make a surprise attack, unless they are prepared to break their front teeth, they can't expect to break through the camp easily.

"Hao Meng only has spearmen, sword shield soldiers and archers under his command, but no cavalry!" The spies returned.

"It seems that Dong Zhuo doesn't intend to use the Bingzhou system's royal cavalry!" Li Ming nodded. Cavalry is the trump card in the cold weapon era. Before the emergence of tanks, or in terrains that are not suitable for tanks, cavalry still has a great advantage .

"The last general, please fight!" Xu Huang came out, followed by Zhao Yun, Zhang Ying, and Yan Xing. Zhang Mo and Peng Die were silent, but their eyes revealed: Listen to the signal from the king.As for Xu Chu and Dian Jie, they are the personal guards, so it's not good to ask for a fight directly.

"Xu Huang and Yan Xing! I'm wronging you, and lead the army to stand by in the rear. If you see the opponent's cavalry dispatching, you are responsible for dealing with them!" Li Ming looked at Xu Huang, who surrendered his command.

"Zhang Ying, Zhao Yun, and Zhang Mo, the three of you are in charge of dealing with Hao Meng's headquarters, and Peng Die is in charge of leading the army. As for me, I am in charge of dealing with Gao Shun's troops, Dian Jie and Xu Chu, be ready to go out with the army!"
