Under a bush in the wilderness, there was a small hole, and a vole peeked cautiously at the hole.

The earth warms up, and everything recovers.

After a whole winter of hard work for all kinds of plants and animals, they finally waited for the temperature to rise, although it could not be said to be warm, but it was many times better than the cold of winter.

The vole slowly touched the entrance of the cave, and gently stretched the tip of the nose out of the hole, and the beard on the small black pointed nose trembled in the spring breeze, as if touching the breath of spring, and the vole was so comfortable that even his eyes were squinted.

But for some reason, the vole stiffened in the next moment, and then quickly retracted into the hole and disappeared into the darkness......

In the distance, a gratling sound came, and the horse's hooves struck on the ground that had not completely thawed, making the real earth seem to tremble, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of white war horses were whistling past the bushes, and the wind of the war horses galloping swept the small bushes into twists and turns......

This is the wilderness of Dongpyeong-gun.

Dongping County is located on the shore of the Bohai Sea, choking the throat road from Youzhou to Qingzhou. It is adjacent to Yuan Shao's old nest Bohai City in the south, and Yuxin is a flat river in the east.

The Qing River and the Pan River crisscross it, and it is also the only natural dividing line.

The white cavalry galloping past is the famous white horse righteous servant of Youzhou!

It is also the direct personal guard cavalry of General Gongsun!

"The general is here!"

There were bursts of cheers in the Panhe camp, and the presence of Gongsun Zhan, the main general of the first army, naturally stimulated the morale of the soldiers, and in the resounding cheers of Wansheng, Bai Ma Yi raised his head slightly from the middle of Gongsun Zhan, looking at the opposite bank of the south that had just had some green grass tips, and there seemed to be something in his heart that was breaking through the thick shell, accompanied by the warm wind of spring, slowly and firmly emerging ......

Wuyang, Dongjun, the residence of the brave general Cao Cao.

Cao Cao sat in the lobby and handed Yuan Shaolai's letter to Wei Qi and Xi Zhicai. Although many people met to take refuge under his disciples during this time, for the strategists, Cao Cao still believed in Wei Qi and Xi Zhicai, who followed him to Dongjun early in the morning.

It is said to be an epistle, but in fact it is not much like a command.

Yuan Shao said in his letter that in order for the people to have a good environment for spring ploughing, he asked Cao Cao to conduct another expedition in the areas of Dong County, Wei County, and Hanoi against the Yu Poison Department and the Yu Gu Department, which were prominent in Montenegro.

Wei Qi smiled slightly, and said, "Duke Yuan wants to collect ......"

What to give the people a spring ploughing environment to prevent Yuan Shao from starting a fire in the backyard of Jizhou during the expedition is true.

Cao Cao laughed twice, he also guessed this, so he didn't say much, but asked directly: "So...... I don't know what the odds are of winning in Yuan Che? ”

Xi Zhicai guessed a little about Cao Cao's thoughts, so he said: "Although General Gongsun has strong troops, Yuan Che has strong people......

Youzhou Gongsun Zan crisscrossed Liaodi, and also made a great reputation, and for Yuan Shao, this war can be regarded as his first leading army, Cao Cao actually has some doubts in his heart about whether Yuan Shao can achieve victory.

After all, Yuan Shao was born in a rich family, if he studied scriptures with papers, it would naturally be fine, but marching and fighting is not a child's play after all, and it is not something that can be mastered by sitting at home and imagining, even Cao Cao almost died on the battlefield next to Bianshui before, if it wasn't for Cao Hong's desperate rescue, I am afraid that he would have become a white bone outside Luoyang City.

How can this war be so easy?

But Xi Zhicai reminded that in fact, this battle seems to be a battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, but it is actually a competition between Jizhou people and Gongsun Zhan......

Although Gongsun Chan has the advantage of military affairs, Jizhou, as the land of Longxing, has received preferential treatment for a hundred years in the Han Dynasty, and the accumulated manpower, material and financial resources should not be underestimated.

Cao Cao obviously understood Xi Zhicai's words and frowned. Of course, there is another reminder in Xi Zhicai's words, that is, to tell Cao Cao that at this stage, the people are still more important than the soldiers......

After all, Dongjun is a new territory controlled by Cao Cao, and it is also very important to win the hearts and minds of the people in Dongjun.

Cao Cao nodded slightly at Xi Zhicai, then stood up and ordered: "For the spring ploughing of the people of Baodong County, it is incumbent on Cao to lead the troops to patrol against foreign enemies!" The order went down, posted a notice, announced the four counties, and ordered Yuan to let the whole army go on the expedition on the same day! ”

Yanzhou Rencheng, is the fief of the Han royal family, originally the son of Liu Cang, the king of Dongping, the grandson of Emperor Guangwu, the fief of Liu Shang, but after three generations, it was cut off from the heirs, the third Rencheng king Liu Chong died without a child to succeed to the throne, and the Rencheng kingdom was once extinct.

Later, ten years after Liu Chong's death, Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty made Liu Bo, the Marquis of Sanhu Pavilion, the son of Liu Kai, the filial piety king of Hejian, the king of Rencheng, the king of Rencheng, and asked him to worship Liu Shang's temple. As a result, Liu Bo had no son after his death, and the Rencheng Kingdom was once again the king.

The princes of the Liu family are heirs one after another, and sometimes I have to say that it may be an inexplicable coincidence......

In the fourth year of Jiaping, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty named Liu Tuo, the son of Liu Jian, the king of Hejian Zhen, as the king of Rencheng, the Marquis of Xinchang, after Liu Bo, but now Liu Tuo, the king of Rencheng, is already old, as a prince at the county level, although he has the position of a prince in name, but many things still have to be left to the city minister Zheng Sui, especially when he heard that the yellow turban thief was coming.

Liu Tuo was already frightened and at a loss, and his face turned pale. Although the three brothers of Zhang Jiao have died in the past few years, how many court officials and the princes of the Liu family who have been divided into various places have died during that period of time, Liu Tuo is still very clear in his heart, if Ren City is breached, what kind of fate he will have is basically determined.

Although the prince is good, but the Han family has a rule that the princes and kings are not allowed to leave the territory without permission, so since Liu Tuo became the prince, he has become a golden silk bird in a cage for more than 20 years......

"Don't panic, the prince doesn't have to panic, the ant thieves have a lot of momentum, they only need to clear the wilderness, and the thieves can retreat if they have no food." Although Zheng Sui, the prime minister of Ren Cheng, was also a little flustered, he still had a little assertiveness.

"Good! It's up to you! "Liu Tuo is like a person who is about to drown, and he grasps everything tightly when he sees it.

It's a pity that although Ren Cheng's minister Zheng Sui's idea is good, the move is still a little slower, Guan Hai, who captured the surrounding villages, has already obtained Rencheng's pass, and simply took people into Rencheng......

In a small civilian courtyard in the east of the city, Guan Hai's group of people waited silently, and the original owner of the courtyard had already been lying in the house. Guan Hai looked up at the sky, and then commanded in a low voice: "Do it as soon as it gets dark!" Set fire first, then seize the east gate, as long as you take the city gate, the city will be ours! ”

The crowd whispered their promises.

Guan Hai glanced at his subordinates a few times, these people are all veterans who have followed him for a long time, and some of them have followed him since the time of the three Zhang Jiao brothers, and it is a blessing to be able to live until now......

Now the war is starting again......

Guan Hai silently found a random place to sit down, put the war knife on his knees, and looked at the present, he couldn't take care of the eyes, who the hell still thinks about tomorrow?
