In Nanpi City, Yuan Changgang made a parting, but his mood was a little low. Therefore, Yuan Chang is ready to pull Cai Yan, the secretary, to find a place where no one is around, and talk about life and ideals!

However, Yuan Chang hugged Cai Yan, but he couldn't raise his interest for a long time, and there was always a feeling that something was going to happen in his heart.

"Chengzhi, what's wrong with you, you seem to be a little restless?"

Cai Yan is an empathetic and good woman, although Yuan Chang behaves very calmly, but because Yuan Chang's calmness is different from the hairy hands and feet in the past, Cai Yan noticed that Yuan Chang seemed to have some thoughts.

"Are you thinking about Sister Lingqi? In that case, why don't you keep her?"

"It's not!"

Yuan Chang frowned slightly and shook his head gently. The feeling of uneasiness in his heart seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, but Yuan Chang didn't know what was going to happen. Yuan Chang and Cai Yan embraced each other quietly, and they were not separated until sunset. Cai Yan also felt that Yuan Chang's mood was very uncalm, and he also accompanied Yuan Chang very well-behaved. And Yuan Chang's subordinates also seemed to be aware of Yuan Chang's thoughts, and no one came to disturb him all day.

"Chengzhi, it's so late, if you have anything to think about tomorrow, you haven't eaten for a day, don't be hungry!" Cai Yan looked at Yuan Chang's face and said comfortingly.

"Ah, before I knew it, a day had passed. ”

Yuan Chang exclaimed, only to find that the sky had already darkened. Turning his head to look at Cai Yan's face, he said softly: "Zhaoji, thank you for your hard work, then let's go to dinner together!"

"Uh-huh!"

Cai Yan answered, just wanting to stand up. But he screamed miserably, and his body fell straight back. It turned out that Cai Yan sat like this all day. Both legs are numb, so that's it. Fortunately, Yuan Chang reacted quickly and hugged Cai Yan's waist, otherwise, Cai Yan's delicate little ass would be in trouble.

"Lord, lord..."

That's right. There was an urgent shout outside the door, and then the door was pushed open with a creak, and a figure burst in. The person who came was a star.

After Sikong Xingxing saw the situation in the house, he was stunned, and said: "It turns out that the lord is not here, I should go somewhere else to find out!"

And then. Sikong Xingxing retreated. I closed the door with my hand.

"Chengzhi, why don't you put me down quickly, I have been seen by others, how can I see people in the future!" Cai Yanjiao said angrily, but her arms were still around Yuan Chang's neck, and she didn't mean to let go.

"It's okay, these guys are monkeys. I'm afraid that they already know about our relationship, and they will see it when they see it. Doesn't matter. ！”

Yuan Chang smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

"Then you are not afraid of reaching the ears of Sister Xi'er and upsetting her!" Cai Yan looked at Yuan Chang with a smile and asked rhetorically.

Yuan Chang straightened his chest and said arrogantly: "I am the head of the family, what are you afraid of! Of course, Xi'er is also a generous person, and she will not object if she thinks about it." So, Akihime, you don't have to worry too much. ”

"Hmph, Sister Xi'er is just too tolerant to let you mess with flowers and grass outside!"

"Hehe, if that's not the case, how can you and I hook up!"

"You're necrotic, if you say that again, people will ignore you!" Listening to Yuan Chang's explicit words, Cai Yan lowered her head shyly, gently beat Yuan Chang's chest, and felt that her legs were almost there, so she asked Yuan Chang to put her down.

"Lord, are you not in there?"

Outside the house, the sound of Sikong Xingxing's question sounded. Yuan Chang and Cai Yan both rolled their eyes when they heard this, this guy can act, and they all know that Yuan Chang and Cai Yan are in the house, and they still pretend to be like this. It seems that after following Yuan Chang for a long time, he has become a good actor.

"Pick the stars, I'm inside, what's the matter, you come in and say!"

Hearing Yuan Chang's words, Sikong Xingxing pushed the door and walked in, glanced at Yuan Chang and Cai Yan, and quickly looked away.

Yuan Chang stared at Sikong Xingxing, and said viciously: "Xingxing, you didn't see anything today, otherwise the consequences, hum!"

"Yes, yes! The subordinates didn't see the lord and Secretary Cai hugging each other, and the subordinates didn't see anything. ”

Hearing this, Sikong Xingxing hurriedly nodded and promised. Yuan Chang's methods of rectification, he is also very clear, it is best not to provoke Yuan Chang.

"By the way, Xingxing, I seemed to be very anxious to hear your words just now, what is the matter with me?"

Hearing Yuan Chang's inquiry, Sikong Xingxing patted his head and said anxiously: "Lord, it's not good, something is wrong." Everyone is waiting for the lord in the council hall, and please move quickly!"

"What!"

Hearing Sikong Xingxing's words, Yuan Chang let out a "chuckle" in his heart, thinking of the feeling of uneasiness all day today, and then contacting Sikong Xingxing's words, Yuan Chang suddenly became anxious. didn't care about anything else, so he pulled Cai Yan and ran to the conference hall. As for Cai Yan, although he was a little shy, he also knew that the situation was urgent now, and he couldn't take care of these details.

Not long after, Yuan Chang came to the conference hall, and in the hall, Guo Jia, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei, Han Sui, Yu Ban, Tai Shici and others had been waiting for a long time. Even Ye Gucheng, Ximen Fuxue, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou and others, who rarely attend meetings, also gathered in the conference hall. Although Yuan Chang pulled Cai Yan and ran in, everyone didn't pay attention to this at the moment, and each of them showed an anxious expression on their faces.

"What the hell is going on?"

Looking at everyone's expressions, Yuan Chang's uneasy feeling in his heart became even worse. However, Yuan Chang also knew that as the head boss and the backbone of this collective, he couldn't let everyone perceive his anxiety. Therefore, Yuan Chang calmed down, and after Sikong picked the stars into the room and sat down, he asked calmly.

Hearing Yuan Chang's inquiry, everyone looked at Sikong Xingxing, obviously, the initiator of the matter was him.

"My lord, just half an hour ago, the subordinate Falcon delivered the news that a large group of men and horses appeared sixty miles to the southwest, and it seemed that there would be a war. ”

The Falcon that picked up the stars in the sky has been raised since childhood. Extremely spiritual. And Sikong Xingxing has been with the Falcon for so long, and he can also hear some news from the cry of the Falcon . What's even more commendable is that the Falcon can also use its claws to draw something on the ground.

"Sixty miles to the southwest?"

None of the people present knew exactly what was going on. Previously, Sikong Xingxing just said that something big had happened, gathered everyone together, and then went to find Yuan Chang. At this moment, they also knew that such a thing.

"My lord, sixty miles to the southwest has reached the territory of the Plains Country. ”

Guo Jia listened to Sikong Xingxing's words, quickly moved out the map of Jizhou, and took a closer look. Sixty miles away is already in the territory of the Plains Country. Of course, anyone present knew that if it had nothing to do with Bohai County. The Falcon does not sound an alarm. In other words, what happened in the territory of the Plains Country was related to the people of Bohai County.

"My lord, count according to the distance. It seems that the Marquis of Lü Wenhou was able to reach the territory of the Plains Kingdom today. ”

"What?"

Hear Zhao Yun's words. Everyone snorted softly. In his heart, he secretly calculated the speed of the marching army, and he was able to make the Falcon sound an alarm, except for Lu Bu and his party who were heading towards Hanoi, there seemed to be no one else.

And the reason why the Falcon knew Lu Bu was related to Lu Lingqi.

It is estimated that the falcon raised by Sikong Xingxing is a male, for the woman under Yuan Chang's command. This Falcon has given a friendly attitude. Replaced by a man, even if it is Ye Gucheng, Ximen Boasting, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou, who grew up with Sikong Xingxing. Kamifala doesn't have much of a good attitude either. During the time that Lu Lingqi was in Bohai County, she got along very well with the Falcon who picked up the stars in the sky, and fed some meat from time to time, which made the relationship between the Falcon and Lu Lingqi good. Today, when Lu Bu and his party left Bohai County and went to Hanoi, the Falcon saw them off at a high altitude. Therefore, when Lu Bu and his party were attacked, the Falcon could return to Bohai County as soon as possible and pass the news to Sikong Xingxing.

"Picking Stars, can you know how many people are ambushing Lu Wenhou in the message you sent from the Divine Falcon?"

"Yes, my lord!"

Sikong Xingxing nodded, and then said quickly: "The Falcon has been drawn on the ground, and according to the content of the Falcon drawing, the other party's men and horses are at least tens of thousands! Moreover, the other party seems to be very strong, which makes the Falcon feel afraid!"

"There is such a person!"

When Yuan Chang heard this, his brows furrowed tightly. The falcon is extremely spiritual, and it is extremely fierce, and ordinary people will be frightened by it, not to mention getting close to the falcon. If you compare it only according to the momentum, the Falcon at least has the momentum of a first-class general. And to be able to make the Falcon feel scared, it is obvious that the other party at least has the existence of a top general. In this way, the situation is a bit serious.

The opponent's men and horses are more than 10,000 people, and they are still ambushed and sneak attacked, even with Lu Bu's strength, if he is unprepared, he will easily be hit hard. Another point is that among Lu Bu and his party, there are still Lu Lingqi, Yan and Lian Nishang who need protection, and the situation is even less optimistic.

"In that case, no matter what, we must send troops to help!"

Yuan Chang didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said decisively.

"Zhao Yun listened to the order, and immediately mobilized the army in Nanpi City, and then you and Dian Wei each commanded 10,000 people, and immediately set off to aid Lu Wenhou. ”

"Subordinates listen to orders!"

Zhao Yun and Dian Wei should drink and strode out.

"Han Sui listened to the order, and immediately mobilized the Dongping Iron Cavalry, Ben Taishou and Ye Gucheng, Ximen Blowing Snow, Lu Xiaofeng, Hua Manlou, and Sikong Xingxing five people to accompany him, and the rest of the people obeyed the orders of the military advisor to defend Bohai County, and there must be no loss!"

Originally, Yuan Chang, as the master of Bohai County, was the best to sit in the base camp. However, everyone also knows that no one can veto what Yuan Chang decides, so no one stands up to dissuade Yuan Chang.

Time was pressing, everyone did not procrastinate, and the army had been assembled in a single stick of incense, thanks to the training of military discipline on weekdays.

"Chengzhi, you have to be careful, I'm here waiting for you to come back!"

Under the city gate, Cai Yan looked at Yuan Chang affectionately and instructed softly.

"Hmm!"

Yuan Chang nodded heavily, this is not the time for children to grow up, the relationship between primary and secondary, Yuan Chang is still clear. At the moment, Yuan Chang followed Han Sui's Dongping Iron Cavalry, and under Han Sui's orders, the army immediately took action. On the other side, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei also gathered their own people. Hurried in the direction of Lu Bu.

As the commander of the Dongping Iron Cavalry, Yuan Chang did not interfere with his command in the slightest.

"The first, second, third, and fourth teams of scouts came out, and the others immediately explored the way ahead. If there is anything abnormal, return immediately!"

"Whoa!"

Today's Han Sui is also becoming more and more like a general, and his command is calm and calm, and one day, Han Sui will definitely be able to grow into a general who sits on one side. This made Yuan Chang feel very gratified. So far, Yuan Chang's subordinates include Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who are already qualified generals. As long as you go through a little more fighting, it's no longer a problem to sit on one side. Secondly, it is Han Sui. After continuous tempering, Han Sui is almost the same. Yu Ban is slightly inferior, but Yu Ban is good in terms of military command and training, but. Sit on one side. But there are some shortcomings. Perhaps, this has something to do with Yu Ban's character. Of course, if there is a good resource, the two cooperate with each other, and it is not a problem to sit on one side. Under Yuan Chang's command, as a general-level figure, only Dian Wei was worse. Dian Wei didn't seem to be making much progress in any way other than fighting. Even if he has been following Zhao Yun to deal with military affairs for so long. Still not much progress, Yuan Chang cultivated the idea of Dian Wei to become a commander. It seems to be going to fall flat.

Under Han Sui's order, the four ten-man scout teams quickly broke away from the team and advanced towards the front exploration. The direction where Lü Bu was located was sixty miles away from Nanpi City, and if the normal marching speed was followed, the cavalry could march fifteen miles in an hour, which meant that it would take two hours to arrive. Judging from the meaning of Sikong picking stars to convey the Divine Falcon, the strength of the other party seems to be very strong, Lu Bu is still ambushed, and Yuan Chang has no confidence in whether Lu Bu can hold out for so long. Therefore, after thinking for a while, Yuan Chang suggested that Han Sui start the mode of rapid marching.

Usually the cavalry marched at a speed of one hour and fifteen miles, which was a relatively normal range. Because after the march, there may be a battle, and the soldiers must be kept physically fit for the later battle, and it is impossible for them to run out of breath, so that reaching the battlefield is just a head-off. However, thinking of Lu Bu's situation, Yuan Chang also decided to take the risk, and the reason why Yuan Chang took the risk was not entirely because of Lu Lingqi. Yuan Chang naturally couldn't have buried thousands of lives because of Lu Lingqi alone. The most critical point is that Lu Bu plays a great role in the current period, determining whether the trajectory of history will continue according to the original course. Once Lu Bu has changed, which affects other plots, everything Yuan Chang did before will be in vain. Therefore, based on this reason, as well as Lu Lingqi's reason, Yuan Chang decided to take the risk. Of course, because there is a star-picking falcon above the sky to give an early warning, so that they can detect the enemy situation in advance, which is also one of the reasons why Yuan Chang decided to take the risk.

"The whole army is speeding up, hurry up!"

Regarding Yuan Chang's order, Han Sui naturally did not hesitate to carry it out. At that moment, Han Sui ordered the army to speed up, and basically reached the speed of a rapid march. The speed of thirty miles per hour is not enough to reach the standard speed of a rapid march. According to the standard cavalry marching speed, it was at least forty miles per hour. However, Yuan Chang still thought about it a little and decided to keep some to avoid accidents, if the soldiers had no combat effectiveness, it would be worth the loss.

An hour is spent in a hurry. Although Yuan Chang was anxious in his heart, he always remained calm on the surface and did not affect the emotions under his command. And during this hour, the speed of the army remained stable, and there was no abnormality, and not a single cavalry broke away from the ranks.

In terms of the quality of the soldiers, there is no longer a problem in saying that they are elite.

And the reason why the army was able to maintain such a stable speed was also due to the three-piece set of war horses.

Takahashi saddles and bilateral stirrups allow the soldiers to sit firmly on their horses, and the soldiers do not have to put too much effort into stabilizing their bodies. If it had been a one-sided stirrup, as in the past, the soldier had to clamp his legs tightly around the horse's belly, which would have taken twice as much energy, and if such a rapid march had been added, I am afraid that some soldiers would have left the ranks long ago. However, the Dongping Iron Cavalry did not appear. Secondly, the horseshoe also plays a significant role. The road conditions in this era are not so good, and the roads are all flat for people to walk. Dirt and stone fields can be seen everywhere, and if it was in the past, the war horses may have some damage due to the stone feet. However, with the horseshoe, these problems are no longer a problem. Any road warhorse can easily step on, therefore. With these accessories, it is possible to travel for an hour without any attrition.

"Beep, beep!"

When the army had marched some more way. The Falcon flying high in the sky delivered another message.

"Lord, there is an enemy ambush ahead!"

Sure enough, it was Sikong Xingxing, who could communicate with the Divine Falcon, and when he heard the message from the Divine Falcon, he immediately knew what was going on, and immediately reported it to Yuan Chang.

"All stopped!"

Han Sui decisively stopped the advance of the army, although there was still some distance from the ambush, but he could no longer move forward. The movement caused by the three thousand Dongping Iron Cavalry. I'm afraid I can sense it from miles away. Therefore, there is no need for Yuan Chang to say anything, Han Sui knows how to do it.

"Beep, beep!"

The army stopped. The Falcon continued to inquire about the news. This time, the news from the Falcon was not urgent, obviously Lu Bu's current situation was fine, so there was no need to worry. Case. Yuan Chang also breathed a sigh of relief. There can be plenty of time to strategize. Moreover, the infantry led by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei is still in the rear, and they are afraid that they will not be able to arrive for a while, so they can also use this time to wait for them.

"Lonely City, Blowing Snow, Xiaofeng, and Manlou, you each lead ten scouts to explore the way forward from four directions, pick up the stars, you continue to let the Falcon check, and after understanding the enemy's reality and reality, we will act!"

"Yes, my lord!"

listened to Yuan Chang's order. The four of Ye Gucheng immediately led ten scouts to explore the way. Don't look at Hua Manlou as a blind man, but his ears are extremely sharp. In this dark night, he has more advantages than the other three.

The four of them left for about a quarter of an hour, but Ye Gucheng, who was inquiring in the direction in front of them, came back first.

"My lord, according to the information inquired by his subordinates, there are about 3,000 enemy troops in this direction. Moreover, they all exude a killing aura on their bodies, and they are obviously all veterans who have been killed, even if they are not elites, they are not far from each other. ”

Listening to Ye Gucheng's words, Yuan Chang's brows furrowed again.

Judging from the analysis of the news in Ye Gucheng's words, the other party is a soldier who has passed through the battlefield, and it is obvious that this is not a weak force. Now the intelligence of Liu Shuo, the feudal king of the Plains Kingdom, Yuan Chang is also clearer, he is a relative of the Han family who doesn't care about anything, and if he counts it, there is already a distance of 108,000 miles from the Han family. It's like a cousin of a cousin like a cousin of today, and no one knows how many generations have passed. When the Yellow Turban Uprising was at the beginning, Liu Shuo didn't make any moves, and they were all dealt with by the Minister of the Plains State. Therefore, Liu Shuo, the king of the plains, can also be ruled out.

In addition, the neighboring Plains Country is Leling Country, Qinghe County and Yangping County, the situation of Leling Country is similar to that of Pingyuan Country, which can also be ruled out, and Yangping County does not have such strength at all, and it seems that only one Qinghe County is suspected.

Although it is said that Yuan Shao is now the assassin of Jizhou, Yuan Shao does not fully control Jizhou, such as Qinghe County and Anping County, which are counties where strong families are located, will not completely obey Yuan Shao's orders. Therefore, the suspicion of Qinghe County is even greater. Moreover, when the Yellow Turban Uprising was at the beginning, the main objects of the uprising were the nobles of the family, the government, etc., and the soldiers of the Cui family in Qinghe County had experienced the baptism of war and also met the conditions of veterans. However, the Cui family of Qinghe County has no grievances with Lu Bu, and there is no reason to ambush Lu Bu!

When Yuan Chang was thinking in his mind, Ximen Fuxue and Lu Xiaofeng, who were exploring the north and south directions, also came back one after another. The news that the two of them found was the same as Ye Gucheng, an ambush with 3,000 men and horses, and they were also veterans of the war.

These three directions add up to nearly 10,000 people, and if you add the same number of people in the other direction, it is 12,000 veterans.

If you calculate it this way, the problem is a bit serious!

It is said that Yuan Chang Bohai County had 80,000 soldiers, but most of them were newly recruited. At the beginning, there were less than 5,000 people who participated in the defense of Nanpi City. Although it is said that soldiers who have participated in battles can be counted as veterans, there are not so many people who are deducted from the death in battle, or those who are seriously injured and discharged from the army. And the other party sent so many veterans at one time, obviously not ordinary forces can send out, even the Cui family of Qinghe County, I am afraid that they do not have this ability.

What's going on here? (To be continued......)
