Chapter 107 Fight for merit
Chenliu, Yongqiu, Ye Zhao outside the camp.
The soldiers in charge of guarding the camp saw a group of people galloping from a distance. The soldiers guarding the camp quickly set up arrow formations around the gate. When the opponent came closer, the general guarding the gate shot out a sharp arrow and accurately nailed it to the front of the visitor.
"Xilulu~"
The leader suddenly slammed the reins of the horse, and the war horseman stood up. The soldiers behind him also stopped quickly and made uniform movements. The generals guarding the camp were slightly stunned. Just looking at the opponent's orders and uniform performance, we knew that this team of more than 100 people was an elite force, and judging from its equipment, it was undoubtedly the Han army.
"Who is coming!" Although the other party was wearing the equipment of the official army, the generals guarding the camp carefully asked the other party about their origins. After all, the same equipment does not mean that the other party is his own.
In the crowd, a general rushed out and came to the gate of the courtyard. He took out an arrow, folded the arrow cluster, and then tied a token to the arrow without arrow clusters, and shot an arrow towards the gate.
The generals guarding the camp saw clearly, caught the arrow shot from the headless arrow, signaling everyone not to be nervous, and frowned at the token in their hands.
"Captain Hu Ben?" the guard frowned.
"My lord, the captain of Hu Ben, is Yuan Shao, who came to take over the Yue cavalry camp!" The visitor said in a deep voice.
"Wait!" The general frowned, agreed, turned around and left, and went to the camp to report the matter to Ye Zhao.
"Captain Hu Ben, Yuan Shao?" In the central army tent, Ye Zhao got the news and looked at the token handed over by the general and nodded, "Let them in."
"Here!" the general agreed and turned around and left.
"Lord, Yuan Shu is here at this time, I'm afraid he's competing for merit with him." Qiu Chi looked at Ye Zhao with a bad look on his face.
In the great victory in Runan, Ye Zhao went north with the victory. The Yellow Turbans fled along the way, almost the same as when the Yellow Turbans started a few months ago, the style of the soldiers of the county soldiers in various places made Ye Zhao fight to Yongqiu in less than three days, and half of Chenliu County was recovered. If the current situation continues, Chenliu County will be completely recovered within half a month. Yuan Shao came here at this time, and it is clear that he is here to compete for merit.
"Fight for merit?" Ye Zhao couldn't help but sneer when he heard this, "Why did Yuan Shao compete for me? If we hadn't captured Geling first and submitted a report to the court, I'm afraid that the contribution of Runan's victory would not fall on me."
This is the energy of the top families. It is easy for them to seize credit from other people. People like Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are not easy to move, but people like Ye Zhao with a weak foundation are much easier to deal with.
"The lord means..." Qiu Chi was a little confused about Ye Zhao's meaning.
"I have made enough credit. Next, I should leave a handle for me." Looking at Qiu Chi's confused expression, Ye Zhao stood up and smiled, "Let's go and greet me."
"No need, Shao is here." A sound of footsteps sounded outside the door. Yuan Shao came in with a look of fatigue on his face and looked at Ye Zhao with a smile: "When Shao was in Luoyang, he heard the name of Xiuming. He always thought that the rumors were not true. Now that he arrived in Yingchuan, he realized that the rumors still underestimated Xiuming."
Yuan Shao is eight feet tall, with red lips and white teeth. The young Yuan Shao looks heroic and smiled and greeted Ye Zhao. He couldn't tell that he had planned to Ye Zhao before.
"A mere name is not worth mentioning." Ye Zhao smiled and welcomed Yuan Shao in. Both sides sat down. Ye Zhao smiled and said, "The Yuan family has four generations and three masters, and their reputations are spread throughout the world. My brother Benchu came from a famous family and was even more heroic. He is worthy of being a prominent family, and is not within reach of us."
"Xu Ming said it seriously." Yuan Shao smiled and said, "Shaoben did not want to come and compete with Brother Xiuming for merit. However, the court had an order, so Shao had to obey. I hope Brother Xiuming should not be surprised."
"It's okay." Ye Zhao waved his hand and smiled, "The Yueqi Camp is not under the jurisdiction of Shao, and it is natural to hand it over to Brother Benchu now. Ding Li handed over the tiger talisman to Brother Benchu."
"Here!" Ding Li agreed, took out the tiger talisman that had been prepared before and handed it to Yuan Shao.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "The Chenliu thieves have lost their fighting spirit. With the ability of Brother Benchu, he will be able to conquer him soon. Zhao will first wish Brother Benchu to win the flag and become famous all over the world!"
Yuan Shao originally came in the name of competing for merit. At this moment, seeing Ye Zhao knowing the current affairs so well, he couldn't help but feel a little better about Ye Zhao. After smiling and pushing him a few times, he naturally took back the military talisman.
"I need to inform Xiuming if there is something." Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao and said with a smile: "General Huangfu's army is short of staff. I hope Brother Xiuming can bring his troops to help as soon as possible. However, General Huangfu seems to have misunderstandings about Xiuming. I hope Xiuming is more careful and don't make General Huangfu angry anymore."
"I have no doubt about my brother Benchu, Zhao Sui." Ye Zhao nodded with a smile.
"Military affairs are the most important, so Zhao won't stay much." After chatting for a while, Ye Zhao looked at Tianse and stood up, saying goodbye to Yuan Shao.
"Why have to hurry up?" Yuan Shao felt that he had a good relationship with Ye Zhao. At this moment, he really liked the young general a little, so he stood up and kept him.
"Brother Benchu said that General Huangfu had some misunderstandings about me, how dare he miss the military opportunity? When the Yellow Turban is pacified, let's have a good talk with Brother Benchu!" Ye Zhao said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll send Xiuming to you." Yuan Shao stood up with a smile.
"I dare not, Brother Benchu asks me."
"Please first for Xiuming."
"How about you and I go with you?"
"It's exactly what I want!"
The two of them laughed and went out hand in hand. Ding Li had already ordered two thousand troops to wait outside the camp. This was within the organization that Ye Zhao could take away. As for the others, they had to be left to Yuan Shao to defeat the enemy.
Until Ye Zhao left, the scholar who had been following Yuan Shao's side, whispered: "By the beginning, Ye Zhao is clever and eloquent, and should not be trusted."
Yuan Shao looked at Ye Zhao's departure and smiled and said, "This person is talented, but he is not a person who is arrogant. Huangfu Song said that he is rebellious and is afraid he is biased. I think this person is worth making friends. Yuantu should not be influenced by Huangfu Song."
Don’t look at Yuan Shao’s respect in front of Huangfu Song, but the Yuan family background is much higher than Huangfu Song. Yuan Shao is not really so respectful to Huangfu Song.
"Ji was not influenced by General Huangfu Song, but just felt that this person..." Feng Ji saw Yuan Shao's face was a little unhappy, and finally didn't say anything, and he smiled bitterly in his heart. In his opinion, Yuan Shao had a heroic and elegant personality, but sometimes his ears were too soft, and someone said a few good words to make him believe it. However, this shortcoming is also not very experienced. When he sees more people in the future, he will naturally know that people's hearts are not as simple as they seem.
On the other hand, Ye Zhao led his troops to march towards Yingchuan, but the generals beside him were indignant.
"Lord, why?" Guan Hai gritted his teeth and said, "We fought the battle, but the credit is from others. We are born and die, can we make wedding clothes for others?"
Ye Zhao did not answer, but said lightly: "Recapturing the Liang Kingdom, destroying the talents, and pacifying Runan, these contributions have even surpassed Huangfu Song."
"Isn't this a good thing?" Guan Hai looked at Ye Zhao in confusion.
"The credit is enough, but we do not have the foundation to bear this credit." Ye Zhao shook his head: "Good is the basis of misfortune. If you don't know how to restrain yourself at this moment, the disaster will not be far away."
"Constrain?" Guan Hai was stunned. Although he did not participate in the matter of Changshe, after returning, Dian Wei boasted in front of him that you pointed at the other person's head and said, "Why didn't you want to restrain yourself?"
Ye Zhao did not explain much, and explained these to Guan Hai. He was simply playing the piano to the cow, and he had already given up.
Although Huangfu Song was of high status and power, he clearly had to stand on the opposite side from the beginning. Ye Zhao naturally did not need to restrain himself. At that time, he needed to make meritorious service and army, so offending Huangfu Song was inevitable.
But now, his merits are enough. Ye Zhao's reputation is enough for Runan, Yingchuan and even the entire Yuzhou. To be honest, even if his official position is removed, no one dares to underestimate him. Just like those famous scholars, although they are white, they are respected as guests wherever they go.
What he has to consider now is that his merits are too high, even surpassing Huangfu Song, and his wood is fascinated by the forest, and he is easily the target of public criticism. At this time, he is no longer considering merits, but how to consolidate his position in the emperor.
No matter how many merits are, not only will the emperor not pay more attention to it, but he will be afraid. Although Ye Zhao's territory in his previous life was not big, he was arbitrary. He knew this feeling very well. He hoped that someone could share his worries, but he did not want this person to threaten him, and he would not lose his pride.
So, this time, when he went to Huangfu Song to listen to the command, Ye Zhao did not leave to grab the credit. To put it bluntly, if Ye Zhao went to Huangfu Song again, he should have caused trouble. However, how to cause trouble, Ye Zhao has not yet taken a look. Huangfu Song threatened the emperor this time and suffered the consequences, which was also the target of Ye Zhao's focus. As for the rest, although there were conflicts, it was not irreconcilable. You can try to win over. If Yuan Shu was like Yuan Shao, Ye Zhao really didn't mind making friends with him. What would happen in the future? At least the Yuan family is definitely an existence that Ye Zhao and most people can look up to.
There is no need to offend him if he dies. His current enemies already include Huangfu and Wei, but he doesn't want to add Yuan.
"Is the lord afraid that his master will be shocked?" Guan Hai didn't understand, but Qiu Chi understood and looked at Ye Zhao with some concern.
