Chapter 705 The gap with the Temple Army and the Warriors!
There was silence in the tent, and all the officials in Hebei stood there in a daze, unable to believe their ears.
Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu attacked each other, and Jicheng was in chaos!
Yuan Shao was a little confused and said: "I believe that Gongsun Zan attacked and killed Liu Yu, but how did Liu Yu ..."
Gongsun Zan's plan was unintentional. There was a high probability that Liu Yu would have died suddenly, but he is not dead now.
This shows that Liu Yu had the same idea, which was beyond Yuan Shao's expectations.
Luo Yan's mind raced and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
He said directly: "My lord, Liu Yu wants to unify Youzhou.
The result coincided with Gongsun Zan's plan, which led to a rebellion.
This is a God-given opportunity. If I don't seize it, I will suffer the consequences. This is God's will for me, Hebei, to seize Youzhou.
Please send troops to Jicheng immediately, kill Gongsun Zan, relocate Liu Yu, and Youzhou will be easily within your grasp."
"Please send troops, my lord!"
Everyone in the tent spoke in unison.
Yuan Shao drew his sword and stabbed it hard on the geomancy map, and shouted loudly: "Follow my orders, march at full speed and capture Jicheng!"
…
Accompanied by a drizzle of spring rain, the ground was slightly moist.
The horse's hooves fell and jumped up, stirring up a lot of mud.
More than ten thousand soldiers from Hebei were rushing towards Jicheng.
Among these more than ten thousand soldiers, only four thousand were regular soldiers.
The rest were auxiliary troops assisting the 3,000 vanguard warriors and the 1,000 halberd warriors.
Even the auxiliary troops were on horseback, which shows how much Yuan Shao valued the vanguard soldiers and the halberd soldiers.
Youzhou had a big city and was blocked by a river running through it, so it was not easy to capture.
This is why the Hebei Army and Youzhou were governed by dividing the river behind the Jie Bridge in the past.
But Jicheng was in turmoil and Youzhou was leaderless.
The defenders of each city and even the nobles and powerful families were all very worried. It was not clear whether to fight or make peace.
Although the princes now divide their territories among themselves, they are still under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty.
Unlike the Warring States Period when various countries were fighting each other, there was no clear concept of territory.
If a prince occupied a piece of land, he could do so by simply appointing some prefects and county magistrates.
It is hard to say whether the nobles and powerful people are loyal or not.
Qu Yi massacred the Baima Yicong at Jie Bridge, and people all over the world praised him for his "power that overwhelmed Hebei and his might that invaded the Central Plains."
He was the number one general in Hebei. Qu Yi came from a humble background and was arrogant by nature, even more arrogant than Guan Yu.
In the whole Hebei Province, no one could submit to him except Yuan Shao.
Among the four pillars of Hebei, he was only good friends with Yan Liang and Wen Chou, but he also viewed them both as younger brothers.
Qu Yi did not take Ju Shou, the leader of the Hebei faction, or Xun Chen, the leader of the Yingchuan faction, seriously.
But when a general goes to war, it is impossible for him to go without a counselor in charge, which made Yuan Shao very embarrassed.
Yuan Shao then sent Luo Yan to serve as his military supervisor and adviser.
This was the only candidate Yuan Shao could think of who might be able to suppress Qu Yi.
But Yuan Shao was obviously wrong.
Qu Yi was an unruly eagle. If it were not for chance, even Yuan Shao himself would not have been able to tame Qu Yi.
Luo Yan doesn't have the domineering spirit to make others bow down to him, so how could he possibly subdue a madman like Qu Yi?
Although Qu Yi has been polite to Luo Yan since the two of them led an army of 12,000 to the battle.
But that was because Luo Yan was Yuan Shao's son-in-law, the legendary and mysterious son of the Luo family.
But it is not so easy to get Qu Yi's sincere approval.
Luo Yan was very clear about this, it was very normal.
But he felt that Qu Yi's approach was not acceptable.
If he doesn't change his temper, if anything happens to Yuan Shao, Qu Yi's only outcome will be death.
He is too crazy.
If the Hebei general died at the hands of his own people, Luo Yan would feel like a failure.
So he spoke very little as the two of them rushed along.
He has been observing Qu Yi silently, waiting for an opportunity to knock him down.
Qu Yi dared to be a pioneer, so he was naturally confident.
Anyone in Youzhou who tried to stop his army was killed by the sword.
The vanguard soldiers are not only capable of defeating cavalry in the wild, but are also unstoppable in sieges.
Qu Yi led the vanguard of the death squad to charge forward. Faced with the vanguard of the death squad, who were extremely skilled and tactically strong and almost united as one in full armor, the soldiers who were gathered temporarily were almost scattered in the charge. Anyone who dared to stand in their way would end up becoming a corpse.
Qu Yi launched a powerful attack and directly destroyed the Youzhou army camp. He raised his eyebrows at Luo Yan and laughed loudly, "Sir, how about my first-line death soldiers and halberd soldiers?"
If it was anyone else, Qu Yi would not have asked this question at all, but in front of Luo, a descendant of a thousand-year-old family, he wanted to pretend.
Luo Yan rode his horse through the battlefield covered with red blood and smiled slightly, saying: "Below the Temple Army and the Warriors, the First-line Death Soldiers are invincible in the world.
General Qu is truly worthy of being the number one general in Hebei!"
The smile on Qu Yi's face froze when he heard this. Luo Yan was praising him, calling him the best general in Hebei, but it sounded very awkward.
Which commander in the world does not have a dream of overthrowing the temple army and the brave warriors?
Qu Yi wiped the blood off his face and asked curiously, "Sir, are the Temple Army and the Warriors really that strong?
I, the first soldier to ascend the mountain, have almost reached the pinnacle.
Apart from replacing stronger weapons and better armor, there is no other way to become stronger."
There was both confusion and curiosity in Qu Yi's words.
The achievements of the brave warriors in Guanzhong against the Western Liang cavalry are known to the world.
But before that, he defeated the White Horse Volunteers with a smaller force, and the White Horse Volunteers were the world's elite who were no less powerful than the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.
When the situation is favorable, any army can achieve extremely exaggerated results.
A strong army cannot be judged based on the results of just one battle.
How could this Young Master Yan of the Luo family so categorically conclude that the vanguard death squad was inferior to the temple army and the brave warriors?
Luo Yan chuckled. This was a good opportunity to strike a blow to Qu Yi's arrogance. She pretended to recall and said slowly, "Just now General Qu said that the first batch of death soldiers had reached the pinnacle.
In fact, it is a fallacy.
General Qu, let me ask you, how are the horsemanship of the first-line soldiers? Is it possible for man and horse to become one?
Is it possible to be proficient in using all weapons such as lances, spears, sabers, ring-handled swords, long swords, daggers, and bronze hammers?
Can the first wave of death soldiers die with the enemy regardless of whether they have a commander?
Is it possible that if the mind and the spirit become one, thousands of troops can be like one person?"
After listening to Luo Yan's words, Qu Yi laughed out loud and waved his hand, saying, "Sir, you are joking. That is not an army from the human world, but an army from heaven. Where in the world can there be such an army?
It has never existed before, and it will never be seen again."
As he was talking, he noticed Luo Yan looking at him quietly with a smile. He stopped talking, swallowed twice in disbelief and asked, "Master, could it be..."
Luo Yan put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "The Temple Army can do it, they are the army that truly received the Su Wang Tianqi.
Unparalleled in the world!
That is a great feat that can only be accomplished with spiritual strength that transcends the limits.
The first batch of soldiers who died did not have that kind of spirit, so naturally they could not reach that level. "
Qu Yi laughed twice, and felt more and more that Luo Yan was deceiving him. After all, she even mentioned something like spiritual power, which sounded quite vague.
But the Luo family members are all gentlemen, how could they deceive themselves?
This is the biggest limitation brought about by Qu Yi's commoner origin.
Those powerful and wealthy families all knew that the Luo family had high political credibility and would not betray any formal political alliance.
They have a high political bottom line and will not trample on the established rules at will.
But Luo is definitely not a gentleman, otherwise he would not be alive today.
All that Qu Yi had heard about the Luo family were images circulated among the people. This was his first real contact with a member of the Luo family.
Luo Yan looked at Qu Yi and just smiled slightly.
Anyone who has never seen the Temple Army will think this is a joke.
But that is the only army in the world built with divine weapons. It is no exaggeration to say that they are heavenly soldiers and generals.
With the same number of people, even the brave warriors must be led by Luo Shizi in the charge, and they must be at their peak moment to be able to tie with him.
Looking at Luo Yan's smile, Qu Yi felt a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Luo Yan quickly rode forward.
Only a leisurely voice could be heard: "I wonder if one day my Hebei army will face off against the Temple Army.
If we can't see the Temple Army, then it would be great to let General Qu see some brave warriors."
Qu Yi also rode forward. He had never seen anyone who could remain so calm after seeing the first batch of death warriors.
Even the general Gao Shun under the command of Lu Bu, the governor of Bingzhou, had a legion under his command called the Xianzhen Camp.
They are both strong armies, but their numbers are not on the same level.
If the Xianzhen Camp were to clash head-on with the Xiandeng Death Squad and the Daji Soldiers, the only outcome would be the annihilation of the entire army.
Only Luo Yan showed admiration in his eyes after seeing the first batch of death warriors.
But from his expression and the look in his eyes, Qu Yi actually saw a look of "nothing special".
This led to Qu Yi's previous question, and Luo Yan gave him an answer that sounded like a myth.
Proficient in eighteen kinds of weapons!
Equestrianism has reached the point where man and horse are one!
Thousands of troops, all moving forward with one heart!
Every word and every sentence challenges Qu Yi's worldview.
There are armies in this world that can be invincible as long as they follow their commander.
The same is true for the first wave of death soldiers. Only when Qu Yi is willing to sacrifice his life, the first wave of death soldiers are the strongest.
The same thing happened to King Xiang's eight thousand soldiers from Jiangdong, who overturned the powerful army of the Qin Dynasty.
Qu Yi could even understand the strength of the brave warriors. If he asked himself, if Yuan Shao personally led the army to charge, or even Yuan Shao's sons personally led the army to charge, the morale of the Hebei army would surely be greatly boosted, and its combat effectiveness would double.
But what did Luo Yan say?
Even without a head coach, everyone can still move forward with one heart. Is this a joke?
Qu Yi looked at Luo Yan's armored figure, his eyes full of questions and doubts.
Is what Gongzi Yan said true?
This is simply becoming his inner demon!
————
When Yan entered Hebei, Shao treated him as his adopted son and valued him very much. When Shao attacked Youzhou, Qu Yi was the vanguard. Qu Yi was arrogant and looked down on others. Shao valued Yan and asked him to assist him in the military affairs. He attacked Youzhou together with Qu Yi. Yan was kind and did not argue with Qu Yi. When the battle was about to start, he was able to persuade Qu Yi with his rhetoric and everyone thought he was capable. - "Book of Wei: Biographies of Xun Shen and Tian in Luoju"
