Chapter 785 Choice
After talking about the situation on the front line, Pei Yuanshao shut up and listened to the excited quarreling of the children of these aristocratic families.
To be honest, Pei Yuanshao looked down upon these people. These people were talking loudly here and giving advice, as if everything was under control.
But what happens next? This is treason, and if you listen to what you guys are talking about here, worrying about this and worrying about that is really incompetent.
Moreover, Pei Yuanshao also keenly discovered that these people did not respect him, nor did they respect the Yellow Turban brothers behind him. Maybe in their hearts, the reason why people like them are here is probably because of the yellow scarf on their foreheads.
So after Pei Yuanshao finished what he needed to say, he consciously shut his mouth.
At this time, it was Han Fu who was playing the field. He was much taller than an ordinary person, and his silhouette in the darkness was like a rock.
But contrary to his tall stature, his intelligence and talents are inferior to ordinary people, let alone those scheming Yingchuan peers.
Although the Taishan Army had the definite upper hand, Han Fu still couldn't make up his mind. He was talking to Han Xun, the clan elder and his son's teacher.
"Yuan Shao has insulted my family so much that I cannot resolve his hatred without killing him. But is now really the right time to start an uprising?"
Han Xun was a little surprised. He pondered for a while and then said to Han Fu:
"Silang, the current situation is that my family has hated the Yuan family, and because I come from a noble family, I am not allowed to join the Taishan Army. If I can't make a contribution in this decisive battle, how will King Zhang let my family go, and how can I talk about becoming a new noble in the new dynasty? ?”
This truth couldn't be simpler. Without a certificate of surrender for Yuan Shao's head, why should the Taishan Army ask you to surrender? The current situation is not that the Taishan Army seeks refuge with the family, but that if you want to join them, you have to see if there is an opportunity.
After sighing, Han Fu finally expressed his concerns and said:
"I was promoted by Yuan Menpiju back then, and now if I rebel in such a decisive battle, wouldn't I be considered an eternal unjust person?"
Everyone suddenly realized that this was what Han Fu was hesitating about, but for most of the people present, they asked you, Han Fu, to take the lead because they wanted you to bear this reputation. Otherwise, why should they promote you?
As for Pei Yuanshao, he looked down on Han Fu even more.
People like this want to be double-faced in everything they do, and they also want to beg for food from the ground, and they also want to keep dust off their hands. How can there be such a good thing?
But with the same words, what does it have to do with Pei Yuanshao if you, Han Fu, are worried about this? He just glanced at Su Ze sitting in the inner circle and knew that this person was the key to contacting the Taishan Army.
And the result was like this. When Han Fu expressed his concerns, everyone present remained silent because they were unwilling to talk about it.
Everyone present was smart and knew what Han Fu's purpose was.
Is this old Han suffering from any kind of moral torture? He just wants someone to talk to him, give him advice, and give Han Fu a way to get down.
But even for such a step, no one present was willing to give it, because they knew that as long as they persuaded Han Fu, they would be the ones who would be infamy in the future.
At that time, history records that Han Fu had no choice but to change his ways anyway under his own persuasion. Originally, Han Fu got the most credit anyway, but he was unwilling to bear the infamy and wanted to drag others along with him.
This made everyone feel unhappy, so everyone just stretched their arms like this and said nothing.
As a result, the scene suddenly became cold.
Seeing everyone present looking like this, Han Fu felt unhappy on his face.
His calculations are not the same as those of these people. In his opinion, this time it was Han Fu who contributed the most and took the greatest risks, and these people all took advantage and took his ride.
He, Han Fu, did not refuse these people to seek refuge, but generously took them to play with him, but what about now? He just hinted that they would go up a level, and these people would pretend to be deaf and dumb.
So Han Fu started to directly name someone. He asked one person directly, but the person hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything useful. Then, Han Fu clicked on a few more talkative ones, but after being clicked this time, how could he still have the previous boasting?
Only then did Han Fu realize what this group of people was like.
At this moment, he was also a little angry. Why was it that Yuan Shao's tent was full of elites, but when he came to him, they were all a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimps?
At the same time, the elder Han Xun couldn't bear it any longer. Originally, he wanted to remain silent, but if he didn't take charge of the situation, he was afraid that the matter would go south.
In fact, Han Xun was considered the leader in organizing the rebellion this time.
There is a secret thing, that is, Han Xun has a relationship with the Taishan Army, and he has maintained this relationship.
Chen Qin, who is now the chief historian in Ding Sheng's army, is Han Xun's son-in-law. Chen Qin and other Yingchuan soldiers followed Huangfu Song to fight in Runan. After that, he disappeared during the battle of Yingyin.
At that time, Han Xun only thought that Chen Qin had died in the battle, but he felt that Chen Qin was causing trouble for the country, so he did not let his daughter remarry. Later, after the Taishan Army gained a foothold in Hebei, it began to relocate the families of generals and staff to the north.
It was also at that time that Han Xun learned that his son-in-law had defected to the Taishan Army, but he did not choose to report it, but cooperated with his son-in-law and his family to move to Hebei.
It was also at that time that Han Xun got in touch with the Taishan Army. He even had his own contact, a spy from the Feijun Foreign Army.
Therefore, when Han Xun heard in the army that a military officer had rescued an injured Taishan Army officer, he used his connections to suppress the incident. It was also he who took the initiative to find Su Ze and planned the incident together.
Therefore, Han Xun was the mastermind behind this incident. Seeing that the situation was falling apart, he felt disdainful of Han Fu, but for the sake of the situation, he still took over the conversation. He first made the final decision:
"Our army will definitely win this battle."
Everyone present knew that the "our army" Han Xun was talking about was no longer Yuan Jun. Although they are about to rebel, it still makes these worldly heroes quite uncomfortable to hear that they are calling themselves the Taishan Army as our army.
But who knew that at this time, Han Fu suddenly interrupted and asked:
“Elder of the clan, which side is ‘our army’ here?”
Han Xun took a deep breath, trying not to be mad at Han Fu's stupidity, and then said calmly:
"Of course it's King Zhang. Do you still think Yuan Shao can make a comeback?"
Han Fu smiled sarcastically, and then said no more.
Han Xun took the initiative to take over the plan. He first asked Su Ze:
"Master Literary, does Prince Zhang know about the news that we are going to rectify the situation anyway?"
Of course Su Ze knew what he should say at this meeting, even if the real answer was that they had not been able to get in touch with the Taishan Army on the opposite side at all.
Su Ze said seriously:
"Prince Zhang will look at us and witness the special honors we have established for our eldest wife."
Sure enough, Su Ze's words heated up the atmosphere of the scene. After all, what is the reason for everyone gathering here? Don’t you still want this sentence from King Zhang?
Sure enough, after hearing this, Han Xun was very happy and said to everyone:
"In this case, I won't have to worry about it anymore."
According to the plan, the troops in the rear camp will raise white flags and then rush into Yuan Shao's main formation in front. The place where Yuan Shao camped was very close to them, so it naturally became their primary target anyway.
But just when everyone had calmed down, footsteps hurried outside the tent, and then a reckless warrior bumped in. It was Han Qing, the nephew who had been sent out by Han Fu before.
Han Qing was covered in sweat, and he had obviously come running over. As soon as he came in, the stench of sweat was so overwhelming that the incense on the children of the aristocratic families present could not withstand it. As soon as Han Qing came in, he panicked and said:
"Uncle, Yuan Shao has led his troops from our formation. He will go directly to the front line after seeing the flag."
When the words fell, the military tent was in chaos. Many people looked pale and frightened, and the dogs barked:
"Has the master discovered us? What should we do?"
At this time, this group of people began to call their lord again.
Han Xun was presiding over the situation and yelled at these people:
"What are you shouting for? If Yuan Shao knew about it, would he still go to the front line? I'm afraid the one who will come is the Red Heart Team."
But just when Han Xun was about to say something else, Han Qing said again, he hesitated:
"Yuan Shaojing's banner reached the front line, and the morale of the entire army was greatly boosted. This time, the front line has been moved north."
At these words, not to mention anyone else, Han Fu and Han Xun were startled, and their hearts began to waver. Could it be that we are on the wrong team this time?
In an instant, people such as Han Fu, Han Xun and other people were thinking about whether to stop the rebellion, but also how to make amends.
For a moment, the atmosphere of the scene became a bit dangerous.
First, Han Fu looked at Han Xun and said inexplicably:
"What now?"
Han Xun was silent for a while and said:
"My Han family can't make any mistakes now, so we can wait a little longer."
Han Fu sneered and then asked this question:
"What should I do if Yuan Shao wins a great victory?"
Han Xun's expression remained unchanged and he said solemnly:
"Of course I will continue to follow my lord."
The lord is Yuan Shao.
Han Fu asked again:
"Then how will your daughter deal with herself? What about the Zhang family who is recovering from injuries in the army?"
Han Xun did not answer directly, but said this:
"Everything is about the family."
So, everyone understood.
There was another period of silence, and Han Fu, who had been hesitating, finally raised his head and said:
"We have never been the chess players in this war, so as chess pieces, we must have the awareness of chess pieces. We don't have to think too much. This time, we will follow whoever wins. As for..."
As he said that, Han Fu looked at the vigilant Pei Yuanshao, Su Ze and others, shook his head and said:
"You don't need to be vigilant. You and I are actually the same now. We can't control our own destiny. It depends on Yuan Shao and King Zhang. If King Zhang loses, don't blame us. This is fate."
After saying that, some other warriors suddenly knocked down Pei Yuanshao, Su Ze and others, handed over their weapons, and let go.
Just as Han Fu said, they all have no control over their own actions.
……
On the central battlefield, as Yuan Shao's banner appeared on the slope, Yuan's army was indeed greatly strengthened.
That's what it's like to be a worker. When the boss is away, it's just a waste of time. But once the boss comes to the front line, he immediately becomes jealous.
Nothing else, just because the benefits are huge. As long as you work hard to achieve military exploits, you can win Yuan Shao's attention without worrying about your military exploits being replaced by others.
Therefore, when Yuan Shao's flag was raised, the entire front was almost visible to the naked eye, and all armies were moving forward bravely.
Slogans such as "advance" and "fight bravely" were shouted all over the battlefield. The Taishan Army, which had been accustomed to the battle rhythm of Yuan's army, suddenly suffered a heavy loss. Many of the positions it had just captured were lost. The battle lines seem to be back to where they were at the beginning.
But in this victory, Yuan Shao saw the disharmony.
That is, Li Zheng has five armies and more than 10,000 active troops, but they are still standing still. The flag there is still the same as it was half a quarter of an hour ago.
And just now, Yuan Shao had heard from Handan merchants that Li Zheng and the others had not moved the flag forward since before the war.
Handan merchants also sent people to Li Zheng's army and ordered them to move forward, but every time they told them that Li Zheng was eating and they could attack after he finished eating.
From 6 o'clock to noon, every time I went there, people would say they were eating. You, Li Zheng, must have been eating for too long.
Of course, the Handan merchant understood what Li Zheng meant, but he did not dare to push Li Zheng. The more than 10,000 troops in his hands were almost a strategic force that could change the direction of the decisive battle. He did not want to force Li Zheng to counterattack.
Therefore, Handan merchants tolerated Li Zheng's behavior, but now that Yuan Shao has come, the situation is different.
Judging from the current battle situation, all the counselors and generals around Yuan Shao asserted that if Li Zheng's troops can be allowed to join the battle at this time, victory will definitely belong to their side.
Because just now, after seeing Yuan Shao's flag raised, Li Tong, who also chose to patrol, finally joined his troops and began to advance towards the left wing of the Taishan Army.
Behind them, the armored heavy cavalry led by Wen Chou were advancing slowly. They rolled up huge amounts of sand and dust, and were always ready to give the Taishan Army a fatal blow.
In this case, as long as Li Zheng also leads his troops into the battlefield, they will be able to quickly destroy the enemy's left wing. When the time comes, the armored heavy cavalry will charge forward, and the Chinese army will be able to attack across the board and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop.
By that time, what will happen if the enemy has an advantage on the Western Front battlefield?
Therefore, Yuan Shao tried hard to restrain his anger and shouted to Li Dian who was approaching:
"You go to your clan brother and ask him to go downhill to join the battle. You tell him that if he wins this battle, I will entrust him with a county. And let him choose!"
Li Dian, who was wearing basin-collar armor, seemed to want to say something, but in the end he gave a military salute and ran towards Li Zheng's military formation with a few guards.
Looking at Li Dian's back, Xu You said to Yuan Shao worriedly:
"My lord, I am not afraid of Li Dian coming again, but I no longer have the means to restrain Li Zheng."
Yuan Shao snorted, his eyes dangerous:
"I believe Li Zheng will make his own choice."
After saying that, he turned his eyes to the battlefield, where the fighting had already entered a fever pitch.
