Spring has arrived, and the spring rain is also unexpected, the spring rain is like the white jade and green reflecting red falling on the wall of the house that day, and the layers of rain and mist hit the face, cold and solemn.

Cold and rainy night, Qiuyue Pavilion, more than ten miles outside the new capital.

Qiuyue Pavilion, whose real name is Return Pavilion, is as famous as the Folding Willow Pavilion in Beiqiu County. It is said that two pavilions were built at the same time, one said to part, and the other said to return. Later, Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, because he was determined to be in the world, he felt that the word return was really out of place, so he changed its name to Qiuyue Pavilion, taking the meaning of spring flowers and autumn moon.

Although it was a cold night, the Autumn Moon Pavilion still stood proudly, and there were still a few fires in the pavilion.

From a distance, the octagonal cornices of the pavilion seem to cut the rain from the sky, and the rain flows down the eaves to weave a thin layer of gauze, isolating the lights of the Autumn Moon Pavilion in the vast night.

At this time, two people were also isolated in the pavilion like the lights. However, although this gauze is dense and cannot be entered at night, people or human voices can squeeze in.

"Lord Linggu, Cao stall head, Sun is late, and the two of you have been waiting for a long time!" A crisp voice pierced the night and entered the pavilion, and a middle-aged man dressed as a woodcutter carrying a bundle of firewood on his back walked through the rain curtain to the two in the pavilion.

Ling Feiyan and Cao Zhengfang were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly got up and clasped their fists, but there was a trace of doubt on their faces: "My subordinates have seen the hall master, and the hall master is used to seeing the head and not the tail, so I don't know what the so-called thing is when I came here in person tonight?" ”

The master of the hall is Sun Cai, the first general of the Diting Battalion.

Due to the increasing frequency of changes in the situation in the world, the original Diting Camp is no longer sufficient to cope with today's situation, and needs to be expanded and more organized. Sun Cai's ability was slightly inferior, so Wang Li handed over the Di Ting Camp to Jia Xu, and Sun Cai stayed in Jizhou to continue to be in charge of the Central Plains Di Ting Hall.

Ling Feiyan, the owner of Yanhui Valley, and Cao Zhengfang, the head of the thirteen serial docks of Zhanghe, are Sun Cai's right-hand men in Jizhou.

Sun Cai's clothes were old and his trousers were high, the straw sandals under his feet were still stained with muddy water outside the pavilion, his face was full of wrinkles, a pair of eyebrows hung upside down with indescribable sorrow, the exposed part of his arms, his skin was dark and strong, and the expression on his face was also like that of a woodcutter.

But when he placed the firewood at his feet, his eyes swept over Ling Cao and the others, and his expression was like that of a general commanding thousands of horses, horses, and thousands of troops, full of indifference, calmness, and a murderous aura that was accustomed to seeing blood and life and death.

Sun Cai nodded, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to the two of them, and a fine light appeared in his eyes: "The decisive battle of the giant deer is imminent, and the lord has inquired about the place where Yuan Shao is hoarding grain and grass, this is the appearance of Chun Yuqiong, the general of the Yuan army."

off the information, Sun entrusted the two brothers! ”

Ling Cao and the others spread out the paper, only to see that it was written: Chun Yuqiong, successively served as the captain of Xiyuan, the confidant of Yuan Shaojun, a loyal person, but greedy for cups and good things, drunk and unprepared, and his concubine Chun Liu was greedy for money and immoral, but she won the heart of Chun Yuqiong.

Ling Cao's hearts moved, Sun Cai had already gotten up and put the firewood at his feet back on his shoulders and slowly walked out of the pavilion, a song came into the ears of the two, the lyrics were simple and the singing was vicissitudes, like a woodcutter praying that the rain would stop and go up the mountain to chop wood.

"The spring rain is long, people are moldy, and the firewood is full of water. Bring it to the moon and the sun shines, and the fire soars to the sky and smells the drought and thunder! ”

……

On the tenth day of the first month of the fourth year of Yong'an, twenty miles southeast of Gaoyi County.

Yuan Shao integrated more than 500,000 soldiers and horses from Julu, Anping, Qinghe and Zhongshan counties to the front line, stationed in Gaoyi and Bairen, and tens of thousands of tents were placed in the meantime, like white wildflowers in the mountains and forests, dotted and dotted, stretching for dozens of miles.

Wang Li sneered when he heard the news, and led the generals to greet him, and the two armies lined up and looked at each other across the river.

I saw that the more than 400,000 troops under Yuan Shao's tent were all gathered in front of the big tent, crowded and crowded one after another, as if Nuwa threw away a pile of mud and stones here, and like Tiangong planted patches of dense forests in this field.

Yuan Shaojin's golden armor, brocade robe and jade belt, immediately stepped forward.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Ju Yi, Han Meng and other generals each wielded sharp weapons and led the four flags of the Qinglong Flag, the White Tiger Flag, the Xuanwu Flag, and the Vermilion Bird Banner to surround each other. The goose-shaped array on both sides, the sharp arrow array, the banner section is very tight, and there are more than 10,000 crossbowmen and spearmen hidden on both wings.

The deputy generals such as Sufu Maru, Wuyan, Nalou, Zhaozhao, Zhou Ang, Jiao Touch, Zhang Nan and Zang Hong each led a thousand cavalry, all of whom were strong and brave tigers with bears on their backs.

The drums of war rumbled and were murderous.

Seeing that Zhao Yun and Tai Shi Ci were bold and heroic on the other side, Xu Shi and Pei Ji were dumbfounded, but Cao Xing and Cheng Lian already had a look of horror on their faces, Yuan Shao laughed, and came out lightly to the front of the formation, pointing at Wang Li through the wide river in front of him.

"Wang Deyu, you and I have been separated from each other for several years, and we may never see each other again after today, but dare to come out and talk about it?"

The confrontation between the two armies was in full swing, and Yuan Shao actually put forward a request to reminisce about the past, which can be described as a bit funny.

After all, he and Wang Li were only a few sides of each other back then, and if they had to say that there was an old one, at best they were just a robe when they were fighting Dong. And their relationship was tense because of Sun Jian's matter, and the Dong Alliance knew that there was something old to talk about between them, and it was still there

In front of the two armies?

"It's just a paper tiger, so why be afraid of him?" Wang Li chuckled, patted Cao Xing and Cheng Lian on the shoulders, and the shadow under his crotch was light, and he stood a stone's throw away from the riverbank, "Yuan Benchu, but after thinking about it, do you plan to turn the chaos and return to the embrace of the imperial court anyway?" ”

Wang Li's words were simple and did not have any sharpness, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers on both sides of the strait changed their faces when they heard it.

Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others looked at the majestic posture of one person riding in the wind on the other side of the river, Yue Zhi Yuanyu, thinking of Wang Li's past, and suddenly admired him. Although he is still an enemy, he also feels that his husband is nothing more than the same!

Cheng Lian and Cao Xing and others are also heartbroken, they have followed Ding Yuan and Lu Bu, but Ding Yuan and Lu Bu's backs have never been as generous as Wang Li, just one sentence is like a needle for them to rely on.

Who would dare not change their face in front of an army of hundreds of thousands?

Who would dare to persuade his commander to surrender under the surging forces of the other side?

Cheng Lian and Cao Xing's minds gradually settled, but they heard Yuan Shao's long roar: "Wang Deyu, the Han family is rotten, the first emperor reused the castration to harm the world, and the Yongan puppet emperor behaved like the first emperor, but I was the new emperor who worked hard to revitalize the Han family."

With your talent and mind, how could you choose to sink with this cloud? I think you and I killed the traitorous eunuchs in the Ruoyang Palace back then, and resisted the rebels under the tiger prison, why don't you follow the tide and work with me to serve His Majesty the new emperor, and work hand in hand to restore peace in the world? ”

Wang Li Zhengse said: "This statement is absurd at the beginning! I think you should understand the affairs of the family of the fourth and third princes, the last emperor's will is located in His Majesty, Dong Zhuo's traitor usurped power to help the king of Chen Liujun ascend the throne, this is a great disrespect and injustice, why are you blinded by lard and plan to go the same way with Dong thief?

Today, His Majesty's first emperor came out, although he was subject to the Dong thief, but he forbears and flourishes, rectifies the imperial court in Si and Yongzhou, treats the people well, and grants rents to stimulate farming, and places such as Luoyang and Chang'an have reproduced the glory of the two emperors of Wenjing in the past.

At the beginning, Wang raised the male soldiers on behalf of His Majesty to patrol the world is for the common people, the righteousness of the people, if you wake up and know the way back, the general will play the court still protect the glory of your fourth and third princes. But if you are still obsessed, don't blame Wang for doing the right thing for heaven today regardless of his past friendship! ”

"Good!"

Wang Li's words were righteous and sonorous, and the soldiers under his command were all enthusiastic when they heard it, especially those soldiers from Sizhou and Yongzhou were even more tearful, everyone roared in unison, and the steel spear and long knife Huo Ran raised above his head, as if supporting a colorful cloud behind Wang Li.

"What an unrepentant Wang Deyu, I hope the soldiers under your command can match half of your words!" Seeing Wang Li mention himself and Dong Zhuo together, Yuan Shao was furious, flew back into the formation, waved his big hand, and a drum horn rose into the sky.
