Chapter 799 Freezing Point
Watching Ma Chao go away, Yu Jin looked calm under the banner.
The adopted son beside him, Yu Jin, saw how domineering Ma Chao was and couldn't help but said to his adopted father:
"Your Majesty, what kind of person is that Ma Chao? He actually dares to mount his horse in front of our army. Please allow me to ride ten men, and I will hold them back."
When Yu Jinchu grew up, he was always better than his masters in riding, shooting, and strategy, and he was the leader of the younger generation in the army.
Moreover, as Yu Jin's fake son, and since Yu Jin still has no heirs, he naturally inherited part of Yu Jin's hidden power.
Although the Taishan Army has its own laws, it is impossible to curb the instinctive impulse of human nature to unite. Therefore, Yu Jin himself is a high-ranking figure in the army. He had been in charge of the Central Guard Army for four years, and he had supported and supported many people.
Therefore, whether it was the tendency to follow others' influence or the kindness and righteousness that the country always paid attention to, a circle formed around Yu Jin.
Yu Jin himself was a cautious person, so he never had any private dealings with his subordinates. When he was guarding Ye Jing, military generals or prefects from other states who returned to the capital wanted to worship at the forbidden gate, but Yu Jin never accepted them.
But Yu Jin is so cautious, but young Yu Jin is not like that.
He has the arrogance and arrogance of his age. Although he is not domineering, he still respects himself when surrounded by people around him.
So when he saw Ma Chao acting more domineering than him, especially when the person he was domineering against was his foster father whom he respected, he was naturally furious.
But Yu Jin just glanced at Jiazi and said one sentence, which made the son who was angry just now sweat dripping down his back.
Only listen to the forbidden words:
"What is the difference between you, my father and my son, and that Ma'er as ministers in the same palace? Not to mention that he is still in front of the Zhili Palace, approaching the king, and you actually dare to bring him here? What makes you Do you have such thoughts?”
Words never show power by their volume, but by the message they convey.
At this moment, although Yu Jin's voice was soft, his words were extremely serious.
Who are you? However, the lieutenant colonel of the First Army is lower in rank than that Ma Chao. What makes you have such an illusion and use troops to capture an important general whom the king trusts?
If you have such thoughts now, you must have done this before. Did you often use my identity to act arrogantly?
Yu Jin understood the meaning of the words, and he was sweating profusely. He knelt on the ground to apologize without daring to say a word.
Seeing Yu Jin kneeling on the ground, Yu Jin couldn't bear it. After all, he was his only son, and he was indeed excellent.
When I was as old as him, I was definitely not as good as him.
Moreover, Yu Jin also has another thought, that is, his adopted son is just a beggar in the wild, but he can grow up to be like this under his guidance. Which of the old brothers in the army has his ability?
Therefore, Yu Jin is really proud of him.
Hey, that’s all, it’s inevitable for such an outstanding son to have arrogance in his heart. After all, he is still a good boy. As for this arrogance, as he gets older and encounters more things, it gradually fades away.
Thinking of this, Yu Jin said softly:
"Get up, there are no fathers and sons in the army, how can you kneel down all the time?"
After saying that, he stopped looking at his son and ordered the army to move slowly.
……
This time, Yu Jin commanded about two armies of infantry and followed Yuan's defeated troops across the river. Previously, the Chinese army gave him the latest military order, naming Yuan Shao's entire line of collapse, and asked him to take some of his combatable troops south to pursue the defeated troops.
In addition, there is another important task, which is to capture Yuan Jun's camp on the south bank and receive the baggage.
Therefore, under this important task, Ma Chao's domineering appearance is naturally a trivial matter.
But the matter was minor, but it didn't mean it was nothing. In fact, Yu Jin himself called Ma Chao Ma'er, which showed his disdain for Ma Chao, a younger generation.
Who should be banned? He is a meritorious veteran of the Taishan Army. As the head marshal of the Five Guards Army for many years, he ranks among the top five in the Taishan Army.
Not to mention Ma Chao, even if Ma Chao and his father Ma Teng wanted to visit him, he would give benefits to his disciples and enter through the side door.
So Yu Jin wouldn't be angry at such a junior who wants to step on him to get the upper hand?
For those who can achieve his position, the decision to kill is inevitable. In the army, he can decide whether thousands of officials will go forward or die with one word.
But the more this happened, the less Yu Jin dared to do anything to Ma Chao, because he really understood history.
Whenever the writers in the army who read for him talked about the domineering behavior of important ministers of the previous generation, Yu Jin would snort that these people did not know the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors, which would lead to unlucky old age.
Yu Jin didn't want this.
But do you think he is aggrieved by the ban? It must be frustrating, but the more he is in his position, he really doesn't dare to act wantonly!
So frustrated, the team continued to move slowly.
Soon, they came to the battlefield where Yuan's troops were defeated and Ma Chao's cavalry suddenly arrived.
The ground was littered with corpses, some with daggers, halberds, and broken limbs, all in various forms of death.
When the army came over, a small group of people were left on the battlefield. They were all Ma Chao's subordinates and were ordered to collect the body of Paoze left on the battlefield.
Naturally, the generals who stayed here did not dare to be as domineering as Ma Chao. When they saw Yu Jin's army passing by, they came with two military officials to pay their respects.
But let alone seeing Yu Jin's face, the three of them tried to come in, but they were all stopped by You Yi on the outside.
However, what Yu Jin did was very decent. When those You Yi stopped the three of them, they threw over a bag of water and said coldly:
"This is a reward from Commander Yu, to reward you for killing the enemy with blood."
The three of them took it respectfully, and then watched the Youyi people leave.
After the team pulled out the plug, they were overjoyed just by smelling it:
"It's wine!"
After saying that, he raised his head and took a big sip.
This wine is really good, but the control in the military is very strict, so there is no chance to drink it.
So the three of them talked about each other, praising Yu Shuai in their hearts for being a good person!
……
Yu Jin left a hook casually and stopped paying attention to those messy things, because the team soon arrived at Yuan Jun's camp.
But what he saw in front of him surprised Yu Jin.
Looking at the apricot-yellow flags flying, Yu Jin was a little confused. Could it be that some army had arrived here before him and captured the camp?
When Yu Jin was thinking this, the gate of the camp opposite opened wide, and then several knights ran out of the camp. One of them directly carried a flag and ran straight to Yu Jin.
When these people got closer and closer, Yu Jin looked strange because these three people had yellow scarves tied on their foreheads!
Wondering where the remaining Yellow Turbans were, the three knights on the other side shouted:
"Comrades from Mount Tai, we are members of the Runan Dead Religion, and we are here to offer our camp."
Then, Yu Jin had the answer.
Runan Yellow Turban? Yu Jin thought a lot. Back then, he traveled thousands of miles with the king to rescue them. He rode a horse on the road and his buttocks were broken. In the end, there was a bloody battle in Yingyin.
If they hadn't appeared in time, those Runan Yellow Turbans would have been killed by Huangfu Song. But for such a great favor, these people actually rejected the king, and later even established another general altar under the leadership of Liu Pi. This was really a way to die.
Originally, the Runan Yellow Turbans were a relatively early comrade force that the Taishan Army came into contact with, but look at what these people have become like?
As for the Hebei Yellow Turbans and Bingzhou Yellow Turbans who came into contact behind them, if you look at these people, who is not a capable general in the army now?
Thinking of this, Yu Jin didn't like the three people very much, but he was also really curious about what happened in the middle, so he allowed the three people to enter the formation to receive them.
……
Watching the remnant of the Yellow Turban named Pei Yuanshao tell the story of this period, Yu Jin sighed in his heart.
It’s true that snakes have their own ways, and rats have their own ways. They played brilliantly in the front, but I didn’t expect that these people had their own stories behind the scenes.
Of course, this is never a good thing!
After Yu Jin listened to Pei Yuanshao's words, he tilted his head and asked:
"So it's Han Fu who is in charge of Yuan Shao's camp now?"
When Yu Jin read Han Fu's name, he seemed to feel that he had heard it somewhere before, so he turned to the chief minister Guo Tu beside him and said:
"Lao Guo, have you told me about this Han Fu before?"
Guo Tu was previously dismissed from his position as the Feijun envoy because he was reprimanded by Zhang Chong, but later he was used again and served as the ban's long history.
Perhaps because of the sudden change, Guo Tu is obviously more reserved than before.
When Yu Jin asked, Guo Tu introduced Yu Jin:
"This Han Fu comes from the Han family in Wuyang, and I have an old relationship with him. This person has always been mediocre, and I didn't expect this person to be able to bring order to things."
Guo Tu's words were obviously biased. He vaguely characterized Han Fu's behavior with the words "setting things right" and called it a righteous act.
The reason why he did this was of course not his deep friendship with Han Fu, but his hope to use Han Fu as an opportunity to win over Yingchuan's family.
Guo Tu reflected on his behavior of being deprived this time, but in the end he concluded that he had no allies.
In the political arena of the Taishan Army, there were almost no scholars from Yuzhou, and a few of them, such as Chen Qin, had little contact with Guo Tu, so Guo Tu had always been weak.
So Guo Tu felt that by taking advantage of Han Fu's opportunity, a group of Yingchuan scholars would definitely have the opportunity to enter Da Tai's system. Wouldn't it be used by him then?
But Guo Tu seemed to find that Yu Jin didn't seem to agree with his words, and there was a contemptuous smile on his lips.
So, Guo Tu added:
"Actually, our army was not unprepared when it went south. Among them, the Feijun Foreign Army sent many spies and spies deep into Yuzhou. Among them, the Han family is one of our people. Han Xun, Chen Qin's father-in-law, is one of our people. Han Xun is the elder of the Han clan in Wuyang, so I think it’s probably thanks to Han Xun and others this time.”
This was the first time Yu Jin had heard of this news. He sighed deeply and did not say anything more.
It's just that this thought inexplicably arose in his mind:
"The person in charge of external intelligence is Meng Ju, and Guo Tu is responsible for internal inspection. How did he know this information? Could it be..."
So Yu Jin thought more, and he didn't show too much. He just said to Pei Yuanshao again:
"In this way, you open the camp first, then withdraw all your people, and form a camp on my right. Remember, everyone is only allowed to carry their own weapons."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the two little yellow scarves behind Pei Yuanshao changed drastically.
Because Na Yu Jin not only wanted them to hand over the camp, but also to take back what they captured, and even arranged to keep them under surveillance.
Damn, your Taishan Army is amazing, but this is too bullying! Aren’t we all fellow Yellow Turbans? To do it so brilliantly?
So the two people were trying to argue for a few words, but they saw Pei Yuanshao in front of him with a face full of joy. He bowed to the ban and said gratefully:
"We, the people of Runan, would like to thank Yu Shuai for giving us this opportunity."
After that, he bowed again.
And Yu Jin laughed, and his eyes became much warmer when he saw this person named Pei Yuanshao.
This guy is a smart guy and can use it.
……
It seems that Pei Yuanshao does have prestige among the Runan remnant party, and I don't know what his methods are. In short, after a while, he withdrew from the camp of the Zuohu Army with more than a thousand Runan Yellow Turbans.
It is true that these people only carry armour-plated armor and are conscientiously arrayed on the side.
As for whether these people are involved, Yu Jin doesn't care, just treat these people as rewards.
After the formation of the team over there was completed, the team continued to move forward. They were rushing to their final destination, Yuan Shao's base camp.
And with Pei Yuanshao's guidance and example, all the barriers and military camps along the way were surrendered.
They sealed the treasury, closed the camp gate, and then followed Yu Jin's team southward.
But this success was blocked when they reached the outside of Yuan Shao's formation.
The powerful people who had raised the flags of various Yingchuan families seemed unwilling to hand over what they had in their hands.
So, Yu Jin lost his temper and gave these people one last moment to think about it, otherwise they would all be treated as enemies.
……
At this time, the powerful people gathered in the base camp already knew the thoughts of the Taishan Army outside.
At this time, people were surrounding Han Fu and Han Xun, yelling at Taishan Army.
One of them, a strong man with a slightly rich body, spoke:
"The Taishan Army is too greedy. We have already given half of the baggage to them, and these people still think it is not enough? These people are afraid that they are not willing to accept us!"
As he said this, the man's eyes kept staring at Han Xun, because it was Han Xun who had promised them before that the Taishan Army wanted a big victory, and naturally they didn't care about a little wealth.
But now the promise is different from the reality. Shouldn't you, Han Xun, come out and express your opinion?
In fact, Han Xun was also embarrassed, because the Taishan Army's spies had promised him this before, telling him that as long as he could cause chaos in the rear, he would not take any of the money.
Later, Han Xun felt uneasy. After all, Yuan Shao left too much property in the camp, so he took the initiative to discuss with everyone and hand over half of the luggage.
But now, those Taishan troops don't take anything from them, they obviously don't give anything.
He was dissatisfied, but Han Xun also knew that the situation was stronger than the people, so he was preparing to persuade everyone to agree.
After all, it’s good to be alive!
But at this moment, several people were suddenly helped over by others covered in blood and stained with blood. When Han Xun saw these people, his heart skipped a beat, because they were the subordinates of Han Fu's son Han Rang.
Sure enough, as soon as these people were helped in, they cried loudly to Han Fu in front of them:
"My Lord, Lang Jun was tortured to death by the Taishan Army. He died so miserably!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene dropped to freezing point.
