Flee, rout, rout. The Black Mountain Army, which was originally imposing, is now pouring thousands of miles like melting snow. The mountains were littered with spears, bows and arrows, and even armor discarded by the rout. It is undeniable that the Montenegrin Army has terrifying combat effectiveness in the case of smooth sails, but once it encounters setbacks or even heavy losses, these outlaws will immediately lose their fighting spirit and scatter in chaos. Because for them, death means the loss of a qiē, and only by surviving can they recoup the loss in the next raid.

Although Zhang Yan is a strong man in the north and a commander of the Black Mountain Army, he is just a big rogue in the end. Preserving strength is also his most basic motto. Therefore, when Lu Yi and Wen Chou respectively led the two wings of the army to encircle and annihilate the Black Mountain Army, Zhang Yan immediately left the battlefield with a group of relatives with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist. It's just that in this way, the Montenegrin camp, which was already uncontrollable, has completely collapsed.

However, the leaderless Montenegrin army was certainly driven by Yuan Shaobu to flee in all directions. But there was a team of men and horses who went the opposite way on the chaotic battlefield, detoured through the main battlefield, and tried to break through Yuan Shao's rear army and break through in the direction of Yijing City. But seeing that the head of the white horse and silver spear, the polished armor reflected a dazzling light under the sunlight, and it was Zhao Yun is also. And followed by a cavalry with the same white robe and bright armor, there was also Gongsun Xu, who looked panicked. It's just that in order not to attract the attention of the enemy, Gongsun Xu at this moment has already discarded the original set of gold armor and red robes, and changed into the same outfit as Zhao Yun and others.

"Zilong, can we really break through the encirclement and return to Yijing?" The horse followed Zhao Yun's grandson Xu and asked uneasily. There was no doubt that the previous battle in the canyon had shocked the noble in front of him, and he had never imagined that the battle situation that he had won would suddenly take a sharp turn. The fact that Yuan Shao defeated the Montenegrin army so easily not only broke Gongsun Xu's pursuit of victory, but also extinguished what little fighting spirit he had left. In short, at this moment, Gongsun Xu had no other thoughts than to escape back to Yijing City as soon as possible.

At this moment, in the face of Gongsun Xu's questioning, the non-stop Zhao Yun promised in a deep voice that please follow Yun closely, and Yun Ding will return to Yijing. ”

With Zhao Yun's promise, Gongsun Xu's originally nervous feelings calmed down a little, and he didn't ask any more questions. After all, in these extraordinary times, apart from Zhao Yun, Gongsun has no other choice. In this way, the group of people galloped silently for several miles, and after a short time, they came into contact with Yuan Shaobu's rear army.

Due to the defeat of the Montenegrin army in front, the rear army units that had been left behind could not bear the loneliness, and mobilized troops and horses without waiting for the order of the commander-in-chief, and spontaneously joined the ranks of the remnants of the pursuit, lest they fall behind and lose the opportunity to seize the spoils of war. As the saying goes, no matter how small a mosquito is, it still has meat. For the soldiers of Yuan Shaobu, who had been besieging the city under Yijing City before, the spoils of war had not appeared for a long time. Even a tattered shirt is better than nothing.

Therefore, not many people paid attention to Zhao Yun's team of people who did not carry the flag at first. It wasn't until the two lieutenants who intended to come forward to ask about the identities of Zhao Yun and others were picked off their horses that the surrounding Yuan Shaojun soldiers realized that this group of people was here to break through. The soldiers of the Yuan army in a camp shouted and stepped forward to intercept them, and surrounded Zhao Yun and the others.

In the face of the swarming Yuan soldiers and horses, Zhao Yun had no intention of retreating, but when he saw a silver spear in his hand like a pear blossom, if the snake letter was public, the left and right stabs set off a blood mist in the Yuan military camp. And although Gongsun Xu was a little timid, he followed closely behind Zhao Yun, and there was a white-robed knight guarding him left and right, and he didn't get any damage after coming and going.

This commotion of the rear army soon attracted the attention of Cai Jibu on the hillside. Although they also belonged to the rear army of Yuan Shao's army, Cai Ji's men and horses did not blindly join the ranks of the remnants of the Black Mountain Army. This is because Cai Jibu is treated better, and he has not suffered in Yijing City before, so he will not act without authorization for the tatters of the Montenegrin Army. Second, since Cai Ji was attacked by Zhang Liao, he has paid great attention to the defense of the camp. Therefore, at this moment, although the troops who did not receive Cai Ji's order had already seen the bloody storm set off by Zhao Yun and others in the rear army, without Cai Ji's order, no one left their camp for half a step.

However, Cai Ji himself saw the posture of the white-clothed generals led by him who had no one to match, and couldn't help but speculate secretly, "White horse and silver gun? Isn't it Zhao Yun? ”

Pang Tong'er heard Cai Ji muttering like this, and hurriedly asked curiously, the lord knows this person? ”

"Nope. It's just a random guess. Cai Ji waved his hand to indicate that he didn't know the general. In fact, it is no wonder that Cai Ji would say this, although she herself is also in history, Zhao Yun should be serving under Gongsun Zhan. But at the moment, Zhao Yun neither played a flag nor reported his home, of course Cai Ji would not wishfully think that he would meet Zhao Zilong, who was full of courage.

However, even if Zhao Yun did not report his name, there is a way to be the first in the first and the second in the martial arts. Seeing Zhao Yun breaking through the many obstacles in the camp like a dragon going to sea, the Cai generals on the scene couldn't help but be challenged by his martial bravery. No, Tang Ying was the first to ask Cai Ji for the Dao Master, but Su Ying led the team down the mountain to stop it? ”

"No need. The elite of this mansion has been transferred, and there is no time to take care of the affairs of other battalions. Cai Ji raised his hand to stop the eager generals.

Although Cai Ji's words were a bit of a scoundrel, when they thought of Yuan Shao's deliberate use of the Euphorbia to embarrass Cai Ji before, Tang Ying and the others no longer insisted. And the reason why Cai Ji decided to stand by was not only that she didn't plan to spend troops for Yuan Shao, but also because even if she sent troops to intercept and capture the group of people below, she still had to give it to Yuan Shao to deal with it in the end. As soon as he thought of handing over such a warrior to Yuan Shao, Cai Ji was a hundred unhappy in his heart. What's more, it can be seen from the direction of this group of people to break through that the other party is fleeing in the direction of Yijing. And as long as this group of people continues to be ordered by Gongsun Zhan, then Cai Ji will have a chance to fight the other party.

Seeing that Cai Ji was going to firmly appreciate the martial arts of the enemy general, Pang Tong on the side hurriedly stepped forward to remind the Taoist lord that letting people go like this would cause criticism. If you send a team of archers to shoot a few arrows at that group, it can be regarded as an explanation to Yuan Shao. ”

"Yes. Shi Yuan is reasonable. Cai Ji nodded and accepted Pang Tong's suggestion, turned around and instructed Tang Ying, "Just do what Shiyuan said." In addition, don't forget to let the soldiers roar twice down the hill after shooting, which can be regarded as a strong momentum for friendly troops. ”

Since his lord had set such a tone, Cai Jijun's archers naturally bluffed and shot a burst of arrows down the mountain. As for Zhao Yun and the others, in the shouts of Cai Jijun on the mountain, who didn't know whether it was intimidation or cheering, they killed Yuan Shao's rear army all the way. During this period, Zhao Yun, who was bloody, didn't even notice that there was a girl on the hillside on the side watching him pass the test with interest.

In terms of the strength of the princes in the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao's achievement of defeating the 100,000 Montenegrin army in a battle is indeed a thing worth mentioning. But this year, the battle did not attract much attention in the Central Plains. Because at the same time that Yuan Shao defeated the Montenegrin army, Liu Bei, who was far away in Yuzhou, completed a major battle that really changed the distribution of forces in the entire Central Plains.

In the second year of Jian'an, in the winter, at the end of November, Liu Bei, with the funding of the Xuzhou giant Mi Zhu, gathered more than 100 boats and crossed the Huai River to defeat the puppet emperor Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu, who had just been hit hard by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, was Liu Bei's opponent who occupied all the time, people, and people. The two sides led troops against Yu Yangquan, although Liu Bei's men and horses crossing the river were less than 10,000, and Yuan Shu's troops were more than twice as many. However, Liu Beijun only had one round of assault that day, and he let Yuan Shu temporarily pull up the men and horses to scatter birds and beasts. Yuan Shu once again left the army behind and fled to Jiujiang alone.

The victory in Yangquan greatly boosted the morale of Liu Bei's army, and also gave Liu Bei the confidence to continue to go south. In addition, because Yuan Shu first levied and extorted violently in the counties of Yangzhou before, and then crossed the border to claim the emperor, it caused anger and resentment from all over Yangzhou. After receiving the news of Liu Bei's southward departure, many local wealthy families in Yangzhou wrote letters to him. The people on both sides of the Huai River also enthusiastically joined the army. With such a popular guarantee, Liu Bei immediately decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue the Lujiang River.

The county guard of Lujiang County was originally Lu Kang. When Yuan Shu conquered Xuzhou, he asked Lujiang for 30,000 Hu military rations, but Lu Kang did not comply, Yuan Shu was furious, so he used the position of Lujiang Taishou to induce Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang. However, after Sun Ce defeated Lujiang, Yuan Shu did not recommend Sun Ce as a taishou as agreed, but handed over Lujiang to his henchman Liu Xun. Yuan Shu's move was of course chilling Sun Ce's heart, but at the same time, it was also despised by the scholars in Yangzhou. Shortly after the news of Yuan Shu's fiasco in Xuzhou spread south, Zhou Yu, a famous scholar who had been appointed by him as the commander of Juchao County, took advantage of the chaos to cross east to Wu and joined Sun Ce's banner. Subsequently, the local Haoshi Lu Su also led more than 100 subordinates to invest in Sun Ce.

Therefore, when Liu Bei waved his army south to the Lujiang River, he encountered almost no obstacles. On the contrary, the young and strong people who were successively engaged in the surrounding areas made Liu Bei's army quickly swell to more than 20,000 people. Liu Xun, the guard general who didn't get the news until Liu Bei's soldiers came to Lujiang City, hurriedly led his troops to meet the battle, but was beheaded by Guan Yu. Facing Liu Xun's head who was picked on the barrel of a gun, the remnants of Yuan Shu's army surrendered without any resistance, and welcomed Liu Bei and others into Lujiang City.

After going back and forth like this, by the time Liu Bei pacified the entire territory of the Lujiang River, the scroll had already turned from the winter of the second year of Jian'an to the spring of the third year of Jian'an. The entire Lujiang County also ushered in the season of grass growth and warbler flying. Out of reflection on the previous loss of Xuzhou, and also learning from Cao Cao and Cai Ji, Liu Bei did not rush to expand the army in Lujiang this time, but focused on appeasing the Lujiang family and encouraging the people to plough in spring.

Although Lujiang County is mountainous and not as rich as Xuzhou, it can win far away from the war and has plenty of rain. A large number of displaced people who fled south brought an abundance of labor to the area. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's extravagance and greed and crazy accumulation of wealth before, Lujiang County would have become a land of fish and rice like Jingzhou on the other side of Dabie Mountain. Therefore, as soon as Liu Bei's "Decree on Persuading Farmers" was promulgated, the people in all parts of Lujiang responded one after another and began to spontaneously resume farming. Of course, there is a reason for the benefits brought by the people of the "Persuasion of Agricultural Order", but if it weren't for Liu Bei's previous accumulation of benevolence and virtue in the Central Plains, the people of Lujiang would not be so lightly treated as a foreign Liu Envoy.

At this moment, seeing Liu Bei and his entourage passing by on horseback, Baixin, who was working hard in the rice fields on both sides of the official road, hurriedly put down the work in his hand and bowed respectfully to their new envoy. Seeing this, Liu Bei on horseback waved to the people kindly, and on the other hand, he sighed again and again with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others who accompanied him, "The people's hearts in Lujiang are available, and the people's hearts are available." ”

"That's the eldest brother who loves the people like a son, and the people can respect the eldest brother as a father." Guan Yu stroked his long beard and praised Liu Bei.

And Zhang Fei fanned the flames on the side and said, "That is, since the people of Lujiang support the eldest brother so much, the eldest brother will stay here and be the Taishou." It's better than going back to Xiaopei to be the nominal Yuzhou Muqiang. ”

It turned out that although Liu Bei had laid down the Lujiang River now, he was still nominally Yuzhou Mu. Therefore, Liu Bei planned to recommend Guan Yu to be the Taishou of Lujiang. After all, as long as the Lujiang River is controlled, the imperial court will push the boat sooner or later. And Zhang Fei's meaning was to let Liu Bei simply take root in Lujiang, after all, compared to Xiao Pei, Lujiang was not surrounded by strong enemies like Lu Bu and Cao Cao. In addition to Liu Biao and Sun Ce, the neighboring forces are not as strong as Liu Bei. If Liu Bei can live here with peace of mind for a year or two, it will not be difficult to become the overlord of one party.

So after listening to Zhang Fei's agitation, Liu Bei was also a little moved at this time. It's just that before he opened his mouth to answer, Mi Zhu on the side said to him, "Think twice, lord." The post of Yuzhou Assassin is hand-picked by the Son of Heaven, how can he say that he will lose it. What's more, the reason why the people of Lujiang are now looking forward to the lord and the horse is precisely because they admire the lord's loyalty and patriotism. How can the lord sacrifice his own for the sake of immediate gain? What's more, Cai Anzhen of Qingzhou is not also the pastor of Xuzhou to lead the two counties of Donglai and Beihai. ”

Mi Zhu's words sounded like an empowerment to Liu Bei, but when he saw him, he hurriedly stopped his horse and said to Mi Zhu, "Zi Zhong is reasonable and well-taught. ”

However, Zhang Fei on the side didn't care about Mi Zhu's words, but asked with a smile that Donglai and Beihai were close to Xuzhou. The Lujiang River is separated from Yuzhou by a Huai River. Could it be that the eldest brother has to borrow a boat from Cai Anzhen every time he transports troops? ”

Although this time Liu Beijun crossed to the south to the outside world, claiming that it was a boat recruited by Mi Zhu. But the four people present knew that the initiator of this qiē was actually the girl envoy who was far away in Youzhou. Zhang Fei's words can be regarded as completely piercing the hearts of everyone who unanimously kept silent. No, if Cai Ji had not provided the boat, Liu Bei would not have been able to lay down the Lujiang River so smoothly. But Cai Ji wants to help Liu Bei so much? And what is its purpose? No one knows at the moment. But one thing is certain, if Liu Bei wants to control both the Lujiang River and Pei County at the same time, he must have a naval army that can crisscross Huaishui. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Fei will mention that Liu Bei should give up north of the Huai River so that he can concentrate on running Yangzhou.

It's just that Cai Ji has already owned the land of three counties in 28 years, with tens of thousands of foot riders under his command and a naval army that crisscrosses the sea. Liu Bei, who is already thirty and seven, thinks of the fact that it took more than ten years to get the foundation of today's party, and he can't help but have a spirit of not admitting defeat in his heart.
