After the Battle of Yingyang, the army rested for five days in a row, which was the most comfortable day since the Southern Eagle conquered the Yellow Turban for more than two months. At the same time, during the five days of rest, there were happy events in succession, which made his mood more relaxed.

The first happy event is that after replenishing 4,000 war horses, the 6,000 subordinates under Nanying have resumed the establishment of 5,000 cavalry, and once again have the ability to fight at high speed. Nanying finally breathed a sigh of relief, not only could he explain to Lu Zhi and the generals of the Northern Army, but also made the cavalry, who had lost their horses and their morale fluctuated, burst out again with high fighting spirit.

The second good news is that Yang Kun, who was originally stranded in Xiaquyang, has received the news from Feiying and is rushing to Yingchuan day and night. His task was not to participate in the war, but to prepare to establish a stronghold in the mountains near Jiaxian, and to prepare for the domestication of wild elephants in the mountains. To this end, Southern Eagle specially selected a fifty-man ranger squad to cooperate with him. These people are all old brothers of the Eagle's Nest, and they are familiar with the terrain in this area, so they are the best candidates.

In fact, Nanying also has a purpose, which is to let them protect nearby, or to monitor Hu Zhao in the seclusion in the mountains, as well as Guo Jia, who has a close relationship with him.

The third thing was quite unexpected by Nanying, on the fifth day of their garrison outside Yingyang City, they suddenly ushered in a Han army of soldiers and horses, and the general who led the troops turned out to be Cao Xing. It turned out that Lu Zhi had already broken through Quyang, but he couldn't find the whereabouts of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang, and remembered that Nanying had said that Zhang Liang intended to abscond to the south, so he ordered Cao Xing to lead a thousand archers under the captain to rush to Yingchuan to reinforce Nanying.

Nan Ying couldn't help but be grateful, this Lu Zhi was really an elder who valued love and righteousness, from the fact that he deliberately selected Cao Xing to lead the troops close to him, and the reinforcements were the archers that were currently the most lacking, you could feel his deep concern for himself.

"However, Ben General has taken most of the cavalry with him before! General Lu sent another 1,000 elite archers to help! Nanying was a little worried: "Will the main force of the Northern Route Army be too empty?" ”

"Please rest assured, General!" Cao Xing was obviously in a good mood, and said with a smile: "General Lu has already collected thousands of Yellow Turban Army soldiers at this moment, and has been supplemented by soldiers from nearby counties, and there are at least 35,000 troops!" And the yellow scarves in Jizhou have all been cleared, and General Lu is preparing to suggest to the court that the troops be sent to Youzhou! ”

"Good! I heard that Jingzhou and Yangzhou are also good news! The Yellow Turban Army is still a place of stubborn resistance, but it is just Youzhou, Yuzhou and Qingzhou! Nan Ying was overjoyed and said: "If General Lu clears the Yellow Turbans in Youzhou again, the territory controlled by the Yellow Turban Army will shrink sharply, and the day of their complete defeat is just around the corner!" ”

Cao Xing bowed down and said: "The biggest wish of the last general here is to follow the general to level the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou and make contributions!" ”

"Hahaha! Then you might be disappointed! Nanying laughed and patted him on the shoulder and said, "The Yuzhou yellow scarf is also a candle in the wind, and it won't be able to struggle for a few days!" You're a hero! ”

Cao Xuan said indifferently: "The last general believes that as long as you follow the general, there will definitely be a battle!" ”

"Well said!" Nan Ying's eyes lit up, and he patted him on the shoulder again and said, "No wonder it's a sharpshooter!" You kid definitely have good eyesight! ”

"Report to the General!" A respectful voice came from outside the big tent: "The angel is coming, and he is heading to the big tent of General Huangfu, General Huangfu asks the general to go quickly!" ”

"It's an angel again!" Nanying muttered in a low voice: "I don't know which way the cow ghost snake god came?" It's disgusting! Let's go! Let's take a look! ”

"Bull ghost snake god?" Outside Huangfu Song's big tent, Sun Jian's expression was very exciting, with a look that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he lowered his voice and said: "No wonder it is rumored that Nanying Yang has always been not very friendly to angels, and he slapped the angels last time!" I don't know if it's true or not? ”

In the past five days, Nan Ying and Sun Jian have hit it off at first sight, and the two have a lot of sympathy for each other, and they talk to each other more and more casually. On the contrary, it seems that Cao Cao has been deliberately avoiding Nan Ying, and he has not even met twice, which makes Nan Ying even more suspicious.

"Haha! Rumors, complete rumors! Nanying smiled awkwardly and said, "How could Ben be so presumptuous? But! ”

He also whispered: "Ben Jiang is indeed not used to those foxes and fake tigers!" Let's see who the bastard is this time, right? Brothers have been bored here for a long time, you might as well tease and have some fun! ”

The two couldn't help laughing wildly in unison, attracting the passing soldiers to look at each other.

"Southern Hawk! You are so bold that you dare to insult an angel! A shrill voice snapped from behind him.

Bluffing Nanying and Sun Jian turned around with a blank face, could it be that the two of them whispered so much and were also heard by the angels?

"Oh my God! How are you! Nan Ying turned his surprise into joy and blurted out: "It's Brother Zhang!" Are you the angel this time? ”

The person who came turned out to be Zhang Rang's son, the imperial physician ordered Zhang Feng.

He laughed and walked forward, happily shook hands with Nanying, and said with a smile: "Good boy, I originally wanted to hide aside and give you a surprise!" But I overheard that you were scolding your own official, what a deception! ”

Nan Ying cried and laughed: "If I knew that the angel was you, how dare I be so speechless? ”

Sun Jian wiped a cold sweat on the side, fortunately, Nan Yingyang and Angel have such a close relationship, otherwise I am afraid that both of them will be charged with a big crime of disrespect.

Nan Ying accompanied Zhang Feng and laughed for a while, before he came to his senses and said: "I was about to introduce the two of them, this is Sima Sun Jian Sun Wentai of the Zuo Army, and this is the ...... of the imperial physician of the current dynasty."

"Hey, hey! The good teacher learned that the foolish brother is now the young man! The post of Imperial Doctor has been taken over by your friend Zhang Ji! Zhang Feng interrupted with a smile.

"Alas! Congratulations, Brother Zhang! I also wish Brother Zhongjing! Nanying was stunned for a moment, and immediately rejoiced. This Shaofu Cheng is the adjutant of one of the Shaofu of Jiuqing, and his rank is more than 1,000 stones. Compared with the 600 stone imperial physician order who is also a subordinate official of the Shaofu, it is really a level up.

A few people are seeing each other again, and they happened to meet Gao Shun who came after hearing the news, this is Zhang Feng's acquaintance again, and a few people have a line of talking and laughing into the account, so they stand in a position of dignity and humility.

Soon all the generals gathered, and Zhang Feng unfolded the yellow silk in his hand and began to read the holy message. In the oracle, first of all, the defeat of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun was criticized, and the rhetoric was quite harsh, but then the style of words changed, and he fully affirmed the victory of Yingyang, and allocated a large amount of money and food to reward meritorious soldiers, and gave verbal praise to Huangfu Song, Zhu Jun, Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and even Qiang Tong, Zhao Ming and other generals, but did not mention all the officers and soldiers of the Northern Route Army who participated in the war.

Hearing this holy message, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other, and they didn't know why. Although Nanying insisted on not mentioning the existence of the Northern Route Army in the good news, but people are doing it, and the sky is watching, how can Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun have no worries? In the end, the merits of the Northern Route Army were still downplayed and reported.

In the minds of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, even if they are cheeky and take the first credit, but the merit of the Northern Route Army's thousands of miles of assistance cannot be erased, and the court will always say something, which can be regarded as a little compensation for the two of them to the Southern Eagle. Unexpectedly, the Son of Heaven turned a blind eye to Nanying and the Northern Route Army, which made Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, who had been in the sea for many years, feel unfathomable at the same time.

Finally, the oracle mentioned Nanying, and the Son of Heaven lightly mentioned his crime of unauthorized use of soldiers and horses with only one sentence of "don't take it as an example", and then ordered Nanying to "select its elite" from Huangfu Song's department, and ordered Zhang Feng to accompany the supervising army, and immediately went to the Qingzhou battlefield to sweep away the thief army of Shuai Bu in Qingzhou Daqu, Taiping Road. As for the soldiers and horses of Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the Son of Heaven ordered them to "guard Yuzhou and eliminate the remaining thieves".

After everyone received the decree together, Huangfu Song pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Since the Holy Decree will continue to exterminate the remnants of Yuzhou Bocai, and order Nanying Yang to select and transfer the elite to pacify Qingzhou, then the deployment of troops must be considered in the long run!" ”

He said in a deep voice: "The general received a report the day before yesterday that Zhang Mancheng's 5,000 remnants did not join Bocai's 30,000 army, but went straight to Qingzhou, presumably to vote for Bu Ji, so that Bu Ji's military strength reached at least 60,000. With only Nan Yingyang's 7,000 soldiers and horses, it will be difficult to have a chance of winning, and this general decided to draw one from the two men and horses of the cavalry captain and Zuojun Sima and go to Qingzhou with Nan Yingyang! ”

He glanced at Sun Jian and Cao Cao, and asked, "I don't know the two generals, who wants to go?" ”

Nanying watched coldly, but found that Cao Cao lowered his head slightly and was silent. Sun Jian immediately stood up and said loudly: "The last general is not talented, I am willing to go to Qingzhou with Ying Yang Zhonglang!" ”

Nanying couldn't help but be slightly angry in his heart, this Cao A's concealment was very hateful, he took the initiative to show favor several times, he didn't appreciate it at all, he didn't say anything, when he went to the national disaster together, he couldn't even shrink back, did he have no sense of the overall situation, or did he look down on himself completely?

However, when he saw Sun Jian stepping forward without hesitation, he was a little excited in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "Being able to fight side by side with Sun Wentai, the chances of this general are a little bigger!" There is Brother Lao Wentai! ”

Nan Ying said, glanced at Cao Cao coldly, and couldn't help but point at Sang and scolded Huai: "Now that the Han is in danger, only a hero like Sun Wentai can report to the court and save the people!" ”

All the generals heard the meaning of his words, and secretly looked at Cao Cao together, but saw that he was still looking at his nose and nose, his nose and heart, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and they all despised in their hearts, and even Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were also a little dissatisfied.

Huangfu Song's gaze swept over the indifferent Cao Cao again, snorted coldly in his nose, and said lightly: "Okay!" This general will be invited by Sun Jian, and you will accompany you to fight! ”

Sun Jian didn't squint, he strode in front of Nan Ying, bowed and said: "The last general, Sima Sun Jian, the army of the army, has 2,500 Danyang elite soldiers, ready at any time!" ”

After the decree was announced, the generals dispersed.

Nan Ying and Gao Shun walked side by side, and happened to see Cao Cao hurrying by with his head down, and couldn't help blurting out: "Meng De stays!" ”

Cao Cao looked up in amazement, and saw that it was Nanying, and a look of shame flashed on his face, and he said in a low voice: "General, it is not that the last general refuses to accompany him to serve in the tent, but that there are many injured soldiers under him, and he is in a hurry to ........"

"Are there more wounded in your department than in the Sima Department of the Zuo Army?" Nan Ying interrupted unceremoniously: "Meng De doesn't look down on me Nan Ying!" ”

"The last general will not dare!" Cao Cao's white face flashed with panic: "I'm really worried that the combat strength is not good, which will affect the general's plan!" Please forgive me! ”

He hurriedly saluted and turned away.

Nan Ying shouted behind his back: "Mengde, is it the work of heroes in troubled times to fight cowardly in the face of the enemy? I hope you are so self-sufficient! ”

Cao Cao's body paused, and then he quickened his pace and left.

Nan Ying looked at his back in a daze, shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that Cao Cao is such a person, it's really disappointing!" ”

Gao Shun frowned and said, "I always feel that I have seen him somewhere, and this feeling is getting stronger and stronger!" ”

"What? Does Brother Gao feel the same way? Zhang Feng's voice came, "It actually coincides with me!" ”

"Oh?" The two turned around together and said in surprise: "Could it be that Brother Zhang also has a sense of déjà vu with this person?" ”

"Not bad!" Zhang Feng walked slowly, he stared at Cao Cao's back and said: "Although this Cao Ah is not famous and has been an official in Beijing for a long time, he has always met me. ”

"But I don't know why!" He narrowed his eyes and said, "It's strange that when I saw it today, I always felt as if I had seen it somewhere!" ”

Zhang Feng suddenly said with a straight face: "Gossip and don't mention it, you two immediately reorganize your troops and horses, and prepare to go to Qingzhou, I still have a secret edict from the Son of Heaven to you on the way!" ”

After that, he hurriedly went.

"The Secret Edict of the Son of Heaven?" The two looked at each other, and Nan Ying smiled bitterly: "I know, why did the Son of Heaven send Zhang Feng as an angel, there must be some hidden mystery!" ”

He saw Gao Shun look in the direction of Cao Cao's departure again, and said in surprise: "Big brother, is there anything else wrong?" ”

"Not really!" Gao Shun's deep eyebrows have not been opened: "Since you said that this Cao Cao will be our biggest rival in the future, then why not take advantage of his fledgling wings at this time to get rid of it in time!" ”

Nan Ying looked at Gao Shun dumbfounded, and suddenly a circle of laughter spread on his lips, and he smiled dumbly: "This doesn't look like what the eldest brother said!" ”

His eyes were blazing and he said, "Not bad! I want to change history, especially some of the history that I think is wrong! Because my existence is the antithesis of history, but that doesn't mean I don't respect history! ”

"If it is a cruel and unkind person like Dong Zhuo, I will not hesitate to find an opportunity to get rid of it! But he! Nan Ying pointed in the direction of Cao Cao: "He is different, he is a traitor, a hero, and a hero!" History has given him life, and it has given him a stage to leave a name in history! This is his luck, but also his responsibility! Even with my presence, he will still be one of the protagonists of this era! ”

"So I would never do something that goes against the laws of nature!" Nanying sighed, "Or you can think of it as an act against the sky. Whether it is against nature as I say or against heaven as you say, it is a futile struggle, and it will greatly increase the variables in the future, so that I can no longer grasp the direction of history! For me, it's not much different from being blind! ”

"Got it! You are right! Gao Shun nodded and said, "You want to change history without a trace through all-out hard work, so as to win the luck of this era, right?" ”

"Although it seems to be very mysterious!" Nanying smiled bitterly: "But that's what I mean!" ”

"But aren't you worried at all?" Gao Shun asked rhetorically: "Judging from your depiction, this Cao Cao is an extremely powerful opponent!" Will? ”

"Nope! Have faith! Nan Ying stretched out his hands and pressed Gao Shun's shoulders: "Could it be that the eldest brother can't trust me so much?" ”

"We have won at the starting point, you and I are now a famous general! And he is just a newbie who has just come out of a wealthy family! As long as we stay strong, we will always be one step ahead of him! Why is he fighting us? Nan Ying said proudly: "Even in the history I have experienced, what if he can dominate the world?" Count the romantic characters, and look at the present day! ”
