Zhao Yun glanced at the Hutuo River again, where a gaze had been staring in his direction for a long time. However, he vaguely noticed that there was a sense of familiarity in that gaze, and that it was friend and foe.

There was no need to hesitate, he rode on a horse and led his beloved horse to shine on the jade lion in the night, and set off immediately.

Gongsun continued to look at the vague figure in the distance and was a little sluggish, and originally planned to invite Zhao Yun if he didn't move, so he asked him to invite him personally.

It seems that there are many righteous people in Hebei, and the things that my father did to defend this land have always been remembered by everyone.

Tong Yuan didn't have to come over in person, but he wanted to see what kind of character this world-famous Zhao Yun was.

I have to say that Changshan Zhao Zilong is full of courage, and his real name is well deserved.

The next day, Zhao Yun, who had arrived more than 100 miles away from Yijing City, gave the horse to someone who was destined to do so, and stepped into the path he had explored with the branch officials two years ago.

This Dawudian Lake has a huge area and complex waterways, and there are a large number of scouts at its north and south ends who are vigilant in the direction of Taihang Mountain. The lake is interspersed with countless mud stalls and small islands, and there are several shortcuts when there is not much water flowing into the river.

Sure enough, Yuan Shaohanhu's tens of thousands of troops used a huge amount of water, and they diverted water to create muddy areas, and the water level in Dawudian dropped significantly, and several small roads were still faintly recognizable.

Late at night, the shore of Dawudian is overgrown with all kinds of low plants, and there are mosquitoes flying around from time to time, and even the jade lion in the night is a little irritable.

The clouds and mist obscured the moonlight, and the dark lake water floated with bursts of mist, and the dampness that was rarely experienced in the north, and the strange smell unique to the mire interfered with Zhao Yun's senses.

In this case, one person and one horse should be very careful when walking, and always be vigilant for poisonous snakes curling up on the road.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun asked the Jade Lion to choose a lush place to kneel down. The horse is draped in a dark carpet, so that the jade lion will not stand out too much at night.

Soon, there was a slight fire on the water, and the sound of rowing and rocking gradually approached.

Zhao Yun concealed his posture and observed the approaching ships. I saw that there were estimated three or four people on the boat, two of whom were armed with weapons, and the other two were just maneuvering the boat.

Zhao Yun knew that this place was completely under the control of Yuan Shao's army, and these people were probably so

I only heard a man with a weapon on the boat say, "This fork in the river is so dark and mysterious, how many fish can gather in it?" ”

"It's not easy to catch small fish at night, but you can catch big fish." ”

The other, who was armed with torches and weapons, looked left and right and said, "I think this place is so dark, it's scary!" You two hurry up and take us back! ”

A slightly immature voice replied, "No, we will go back before we catch a fish, but we will be beaten, and someone was killed two days ago." ”

The soldier scolded, "Hey, you dare not obey my orders? Do you want to go back and be beaten, or do you want to be beaten to death now? ”

The swaying man said, "Don't be angry, Master Jun, let's go for a while, and we'll reach a place where there are many fish." In an hour at most, we will be able to catch the fish and go back. ”

The soldier said, "What! It's going to take so long, and I'm about to be bitten to death by mosquitoes. ”

After speaking, I saw the firelight flickering, as if it was driving away mosquitoes.

The two fishermen continued to plead, and the soldier who spoke first said, "Go back now, you can catch a catch near the camp." ”

The young man said, "That's not good, there aren't enough fish, we're going to be killed."

The old fisherman said, "Otherwise, let's just go here, you can pick any fish we catch, and grill it directly, and the grilled fish will be very fragrant soon." ”

The two soldiers smiled, they just wanted to go back sooner and get some benefits. Now the result is not bad, eat a full meal, and go back after eating.

At this time, many water systems in Hebei have not yet experienced the penetration of Cao Cao, so many rivers and Baiyangdian Lake cannot be directly used to transport grain.

Yuan Shao's 100,000 soldiers and horses besieged Yijing for half a year, and the military consumption was very exaggerated.

Fortunately, Jizhou and Qingzhou have been relatively stable in recent years, and the grain can fully support the food of the army, but after a long time, the demand for all kinds of non-staple food is larger.

Therefore, Yuan Jun also arranged for manpower to requisition people to fish in nearby lakes and rivers as a supplement. It's just that this errand is hard, and the soldiers in charge of guarding it have no benefit and don't want to be burdened.

After a while, the two fishermen caught two sleeping carp and a catfish that liked to forage at night.

The two soldiers ordered the fishermen to make a fire for them to grill the fish, and they served them meticulously. After eating the "solo meal", he didn't give the two fishermen much time, so he said that he had to go back.

The total weight of the carp and loaches caught by the two of them was not as much as that they had just eaten, and it was the result of being punished when they went back to work so hard.

Young people are angry, and they have to refute. The older man steadied him and said a few words in his native dialect.

Suddenly, one of the soldiers yelled, "Bastard! Are you secretly saying something? Is it to drown us on the road! Don't think I can't hear the general story. ”

Another soldier drew his sword and said angrily, "We both know how to water, and remember the way back, don't think you can make any small moves." ”

"Whoosh!"

An arrow struck the arm of the soldier who drew his sword, causing him to howl in pain. Another soldier hurriedly drew his sword and searched left and right, but could not find the target at all, and was killed by an arrow.

The wounded soldier reached for his knife again and was killed by two fishermen.

After Zhao Yun rescued people, he appeared from the reeds and said to the two fishermen, "I am Changshan Zhao Yun, and I was entrusted to go to Yijing." Do you have any family members in Yuan Shaojun? ”

The two men said, "Thank you for saving your life, we are all fishermen who have been forcibly recruited, although no family members have been detained, but we are also fishing neighbors, and there are dozens of people working in the Yuan army camp." ”

Zhao Yun asked for details again, it turned out that the east side of Baiyangdian was one of the grain and grass camps of the Yuan army, and these fishermen had to keep fishing to supply the army, and nearly ten people had been killed and exhausted.

Because they suffered a lot, they were exploited by the scholars, heroes, and big clans who supported Yuan Shao, but they were afraid of being traced and implicated in their families, so no one dared to escape.

Similarly, they were willing to provide Zhao Yun with some help, but they didn't dare to make trouble. Zhao Yun had a way to keep them from taking risks and help him.

He asked the boatman to follow him quietly close to the camp and put him on the north side of the lake. Then they were asked to set up a boat and go back, lying that they had encountered an enemy situation on the south shore of the lake.

The two soldiers who were with them, spotting about a few dozen enemies, were quietly following, and they asked for immediate support from the army.

Zhao Yun observed the situation in the dark, and found that Yuan Shaojun immediately assembled to the grain and grass camp, and then thousands of soldiers and horses chased after the south bank of the lake.

Of course, they would only see the bodies of those two. One of them was killed by an arrow, and it was obviously the work of the enemy's masters, so he would only think that it was discovered by the enemy, and would not harm the fishermen.

Taking advantage of Yuan Shao's army to defend the camp, he transferred troops to the south bank of the lake, and the troops in the north were so hungry that the troops were withdrawn, and there were obvious loopholes in the defense.

Zhao Yun rushed through the twenty-mile road from the front line, and he could already see the Yijing City Jam in the distance.
