Three Kingdoms: Stealing the Tiger Talisman and forcing Yuan Shao to become a monk

Chapter 687 "Proton"

All major aristocratic families were secretly upset when they heard that Lu Jun sent their sons to Yuan Tan's command.

I didn't even think of such a coup to please Yuan Tan.

Thinking about the situation that everyone in his family was in, Yuan Tan had to be afraid even though he had family power.

However, if there is no one in the court, I am afraid that within a few years, the family will gradually decline.

Moreover, I originally sought an official position under Sun Quan, so I thought my career would stop here.

If he wanted to carry forward the family, he might not be able to rely on his own strength.

However, although he has stopped here, the younger generation of the family still has a bright future.

If he sent his descendants to Yuan Tan's subordinates now, and if they were reused in the future, his family would still have a firm foothold in Jiangdong.

Thinking of this, I feel that Lu Jun is too smart, and he realized this early.

Therefore, they rushed to send their son to Yuan Tan's subordinates.

This made Yuan Tan feel extremely embarrassed.

He didn't even know what the plans of these families were.

But if someone sends a nephew to him, he can't refuse, after all, he has already received one.

So it was like this, and dozens of people were sent from various big and small families.

Yuan Tan was also particularly distressed, not knowing what to do.

Those who knew said it was sent by each family themselves, but those who didn't know thought that Yuan Tan had brought nephews and nephews from various families as hostages before leaving.

Therefore, during the march, every time they saw Lu Xun, Gu Tan and the others felt dumbfounded.

Originally, he brought [-] Jiangdong soldiers to fight, but now these recruits from aristocratic families in the army make Yuan Tan especially funny.

But although Yuan Tan found it interesting, it was not to ridicule these young masters for their poor abilities.

How could Yuan Tan tolerate those who fish in troubled waters in his army?

Therefore, these people are not the ones who are pampered at home all day long and spend time outside.

Let's not talk about Lu Xun, just talk about Zhu Yi, the son of the foodie Zhu Huan.

That is extraordinary skill, and it is not an exaggeration to be a vanguard in the army.

Although these people have never really been on the battlefield, but newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and all of them are gearing up for the upcoming war.

Even the entire army was inspired by these young generals, and their morale was actually high.

Yuan Tan was also happy and silent about this.

Zhou Tai also attaches great importance to the Jiangdong children in his family, and sees their morale increasing day by day.

He even showed off in front of Yuan Tan intentionally or unintentionally.

It seems to say: "Look at my Eastern Wu soldiers, aren't they better than those miscellaneous soldiers under your command?"

Yuan Tan turned a blind eye, but saw that Lu Xun was not among the crowd showing off his might.

Just look around.

After searching for a long time, I found this person at the end of the army.

Yuan Tan stepped forward and asked, "Why isn't Boyan as happy as they are?"

When Lu Xun saw Yuan Tan, he also bowed and said: "Report to Qihou, I am a person who has been on the battlefield. I know the cruelty of war, so naturally I will not be as happy as them."

Yuan Tan nodded and said, "That's true, I forgot that you are different from them."

Lu Xun continued: "Recently, I have been thinking about the reason for the defeat that day."

Yuan Tan asked curiously, "Oh? Then what did you think of?"

Lu Xun said: "Well, I also thought of something, I don't know if it's right or not."

Yuan Tan then said, "Let's talk and listen, and I'll give you some pointers."

Lu Xun then bowed again: "Bo Yan, thank you, Qi Hou."

Yuan Tan waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't be more polite."

Lu Xun fell into deep thought and said, "That day I was ordered to lead the army to cut off Qihou's supply route. There was no problem at all, but I was a little rash because of my youthful arrogance."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tan said, "Oh? You continue."

Lu Xun said: "The place where I was stationed was close to a water source in the front, a mountain in the back, a dense forest on the right, and an official road on the left. If the army were stationed here, it would be difficult for thousands of people, but when General Le came, he was outside. He called the formation, which aroused the blood in my heart, so I went out to fight with him. Instead, he missed and was captured."

Yuan Tan laughed and said, "That's true. If you stick to it, I'm afraid Wen Qian will have nothing to do with you in a short time."

Lu Xun then said, "Qihou also thinks so?"

Yuan Tan said: "It is true, but it is not true."

Lu Xun then asked, "Why did Marquis Qi say that? What's the meaning?"

Yuan Tan then explained: "There is a saying in the art of war. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in a hundred battles. Wen Qian must know that you are a young general, otherwise he would not have far superior troops to you and come up with such a trick to lure you out. This is one of them." .”

Yuan Tan gently stroked the horse's back and continued: "Although you occupy a favorable position, you ignore the harmony of people. The place you are in is Jingzhou, and you are like an invader. However, the soldiers led by Wen Qian are the soldiers who protect our homeland." , the people's hope is that you are better than you, even if you don't go out to fight, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for a long time, this is the second reason."

Lu Xun was depressed after hearing Yuan Tan mention his two mistakes.

Seeing Lu Xun's strange expression at the moment, Yuan Tan smiled and said, "The third thing is that you are too young."

"Huh?" Lu Xun also questioned.

Yuan Tan just smiled and said: "Inexperienced in combat, not calm enough to meet the enemy, it is really a big taboo for generals."

When Lu Xun heard this, he lowered his head humbly and said, "Bo Yan has learned a lesson."

Yuan Tan also smiled and comforted: "It's okay, just take your time. After all, no one can fight as soon as he is born."

Hearing Yuan Tan's comfort, Lu Xun also got a little better.

Yuan Tan went on to say: "Seeing you, I miss my great apprentice. He studies the art of war every day, and he is very good at it. If there is a chance to go to the north this time, I will introduce it to you. He guides you."

Lu Xun was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately thanked Yuan Tan.

Yuan Tan then said: "Let's go, let's go to the front together, it's so boring to be alone in the back. Chat with those teenagers who are the same age as you, and relieve the boredom."

Lu Xun refused and said, "Forget it, I will take care of the rear, and don't let the army have any accidents during the march. And here I can also learn some military strategies."

Seeing Lu Xun being so persistent, Yuan Tan couldn't say anything else.

He just took out a book from his pocket.

"Here is this for you. If you have nothing to do, you can also read to relieve boredom." Yuan Tan left after speaking.

Lu Xun also took Yuan Tan's book as a thank you.

It was only after Yuan Tan left that he opened it for a look.

I saw at the beginning that it was written: "King Wen will be in charge of the field, and the historian will make a divination..."
