Cao Xuan has been talking nonsense for half an hour, from the chaos in the world and the loss of imperial power to the change of ownership in Xuzhou and the suffering of the people.

Ji Ling finally couldn't help it.

"The surname is Cao, what do you want!"

"Hehe, I'm just trying to show the general a clear way."

"Hahahaha! Joke! My lord Yuan Highway, the fourth and third dukes, is the queen of the famous family. And your Lu Bu child is just a capricious person, a person who betrays the Lord and seeks glory! If I say that there is a clear way, I should show you the way. ”

"I'm not talking about the future, I'm talking about the present."

"Oh? What about now? With hundreds of foot soldiers under your command and thousands of elite cavalry behind me, I don't know why you're making such a fuss here! ”

"Then please General Ji turn around and see the smoke rising from your camp?"

When Ji Ling heard this, he trembled and hurriedly turned around.

Many of his subordinates also turned their heads to look back.

Cao Xuan didn't talk nonsense, because in the direction of Ji Ling's camp, black smoke did rise.

"General Ji, if you return to the camp immediately, you may be able to save some food and grass."

"Yikes!" Ji Ling roared angrily, raised his knife and prepared to rush forward again.

However, there was a commotion among his subordinates.

Because a group of men and horses came from each side, looking at the dust and smoke raised, there were thousands of people on each side.

"I've written it down today!" After speaking, Ji Ling flicked the reins and led the cavalry straight back in the direction of the camp.

Since the camp has been sneak attacked, if he buries all the cavalry here, it is estimated that Yuan Shu will definitely not be spared after going back.

Although Ji Ling was less strategic, he was also decisive in his use of troops, so he chose to retreat rather than fight to the death.

……

"General, I don't want this wicker bundle to bluff people like this, and let the enemy take it for real." The lieutenant general in charge of directing the sneak attack said to Cao Xuan with a smile on his face.

"Heh, the military advisor has a saying, this kind of strategy can only deal with a martial artist like Ji Ling. If you're a wise general, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back by the time you wait for all of them. ”

Cao Xuan responded while beckoning the whole army to return to the city.

"Shall we not go after it?"

"The purpose of this time is to make Ji Ling withdraw his troops, since the grain and grass have been burned out, why bother to make any more efforts? Besides, with the combat strength of our army, even if we catch up, we can't beat him. ”

Cao Xuan looked at the cavalry that was gradually moving away in a strict formation, and sighed faintly.

If there are a few more battles like this, I'm afraid that my side will really be unable to deal with it.

————————————————

But Ji Ling's more than 2,000 cavalry did not survive in the end.

When the scout reported that Ji Ling had withdrawn from the rear, Lu Bu knew that it was time for him to retreat.

After confirming with Yang Feng, Lu Bu decided to bluff and make a look of preparing for a decisive battle.

Just when Yuan Shu got the news and ordered to prepare for battle, the soldiers who came out of the camp to patrol suddenly reported that Lu Bu suddenly withdrew the whole army in the afternoon, and now Yuan Shu is facing nothing more than an empty camp.

Enraged, Yuan Shu ordered 5,000 cavalry to pursue first, and he commanded his own formation to follow.

However, this was already an hour and a half after Lu Bu withdrew his troops.

The only Yuan Shu soldier who came into contact with Lu Bu was the unlucky Ji Ling.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Lu Bu's soldiers and horses, Ji Ling instinctively thought that this was a plan that he had planned with Cao Xing a long time ago.

When Lu Bu saw the people in front of him, he probably guessed who it was.

Since your own forces are far superior to the enemy, and you are on the way, what reason is there not to do it?

In this way, surrounded by the combined forces of Lu Bu and Yang Feng, Ji Ling finally fled with only more than a hundred people.

……

At the Yuan Shu camp that had been evacuated, two people were standing quietly looking at each other.

"I just thought of a plan, Lu Bu, this bastard, actually withdrew!" Zhang Feng clenched his fists and glared angrily in the direction of Xiapi.

"So what should we do?" Jade Tapir asked.

"Well, since Lu Bu is determined to compete in Xiapi, then we will also follow and see if we can act from it."

This should be the most desired outcome for the jade tapir. Finally able to see the others, if he continued to stay with Zhang Feng, Jade Tapir was worried that he would be assimilated by him sooner or later.

"It's okay, I don't have much medicine, just let Sister Yuanyuan make some more."

"What? Don't you want to join me? Zhang Feng suddenly turned his head to look at the jade tapir.

"This ...... What are these words. ”

"I know in my heart that you have always been jealous of me."

"I ......"

"I might as well be clear to you. With Brother Xuan's current approach, he can't avenge you at all, if you want to hate Yushuai, you can only follow me. ”

When the jade tapir was said by Zhang Feng, he didn't know how to respond for a while.

Indeed, I decided to join because I wanted revenge.

Perhaps, only Zhang Feng, who is also full of hatred, can better understand his pain.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. It's just that you have to agree first, and you must not violate morality in anything! Jade Tapir looked at Zhang Feng with a resolute gaze.

Zhang Feng's gaze suddenly softened, and he stepped forward and held down the top of the jade tapir's head and shook it: "Silly boy." ”

The jade tapir also laughed, maybe he was really too defensive this way.

"Okay, hurry up, when you get over there, let Ling Yuan help you prepare some tranquilizers first."

After speaking, Zhang Feng turned around and walked towards the north.

Jade tapir looked at his back, and suddenly felt a trace of warmth in his heart, this is the feeling of family.

It's just that he can only see his back.

The moment Zhang Feng turned around, his face became cold again, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Because he has finally tamed this beast......

By the quietly flowing stream, Duan Xuan was resting against a tree.

After this period of living in a deserted village, he gradually liked this tranquility.

Compared to the city inn, the environment made him feel safer, because occasionally he could return to the silent forest path while napping.

On that road, there was no plotting, no killing, and no filthy world.

Yes, it's just the birdsong, the fragrance of flowers, and the back of the person walking in front of you.

Thinking of the master, Duan Xuan's eyes couldn't help but be a little blurred.

I still remember that when he returned from Luoyang, he also laughed at himself, people like them probably won't live long.

Now the master has left, and he also does not know when he will die.

Forget the strife of the troubled times like this, isn't it good to live a leisurely life alone in this mountain?

However, in just a moment, this idea was denied by himself.

If you really live selfishly like this, you will live up to the master's teachings, the master's appreciation, and the righteousness of Yefeng.

The only thing that made him feel a little comforted was that Ye Feng's years of hard work were finally recognized.

With the support of Hanting, I believe that the four sages will definitely make Yefeng return to its former glory.

Scold!

Duan Xuan couldn't help laughing at himself, this was his fate, under such a beautiful scenery, what he was thinking about was actually a matter of the world.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, stretching slightly, ready to concentrate on enjoying the moment.

It's just that the slight tremor in his left hand made him instantly energetic.

Even when he was resting, Duan Xuan would put a glove on his left hand and use spider silk to defend it.

And at this time, this trembling is that someone has touched the spider silk.

Duan Xuan turned around vigilantly and half-crouched on the ground, like a hunting beast, quietly observing the surrounding situation.

In the opposite direction of the stream, there was indeed a figure shaking.

Duan Xuan carefully gathered the spider silk from other directions, preparing to capture the other party with all his might.

It seems that the other party does not seem to perceive the danger, and is still walking this way.

Duan Xuan saw the opportunity and pulled the spider silk in his left hand hard.

The weeds and dwarf branches on both sides of the visitor were cut off in an instant, and seven or eight spider silks all shrank towards his body.

Duan Xuan spared some strength, after all, he couldn't see who it was, and if he was injured by mistake, it was always bad.

But the results were much more than he expected.

The man seemed to be boneless, and his body shook softly, flashing the four spider silks that went up to his body.

After that, he twisted his leg in the same way, and took off the strength of the spider silk in his leg.

Then, he rolled backwards, braced himself on his hands, and slid sideways through the cracks in the spider's silk.

When Duan Xuan saw the other party's method of escaping, he instantly knew who it was.

"Why are you here?"

I'm afraid that he is the only one who will dodge like this in the whole world - the old seat of the Nine Sages of the Northern Hall of the Former Night Feng Northern Hall, the night handsome Han Yuan's personal apprentice, Zhuge Jin.

"I know it's Mo Shuai's person together, I don't want it to be Brother Xuan!"

Duan Xuan guessed correctly, the person who came was Zhuge Jin.

The Zhuge clan was also a prestigious family, but it was different from other famous families, because they were the only family that took the initiative to cooperate with Yefeng.

But not the entire Zhuge clan was involved, and the one who really became Yefeng's partner was Cheng Zhuge Jue of Taishan County, Qingzhou at that time.

At that time, Zhuge Jin went to the Northern General Hall like Sima Yi, nominally to be taught, but in essence he became a hostage.

However, unlike Sima Yi, Zhuge Jin took the initiative to ask to become Han Yuan's protégé.

After much thought, the four sages finally agreed to his request.

Soon after Han Yuan came into contact with him, he discovered this child's special physique, so he sent him a book of the Western Regions in the dossier room to study.

That's the art of soft bones.

It's just that the sky is unpredictable, and people don't know it. In the fourth year of Zhongping (187 AD), Zhuge Jin died of illness, and Zhuge Jin, who was only fifteen years old, left the main hall and went back to mourn under the consent of the four sages.

It's just that Zhuge Xuan, who is Zhuge Jin's uncle, after he finished his filial piety, he objected to cooperating with Yefeng again.

Zhuge Jin had no choice but to stay in Langya.

Later, Cao Cao attacked Xu, and Zhuge Xuan moved to Jingzhou with Zhuge Jin's three sons and two daughters.

Because the meaning of cooperation was lost, the four sages didn't pay attention to them anymore, and only occasionally sent people to investigate secretly.

In this way, Han Yuan's pro-disciple hid in Jingzhou.

But he didn't want to, Duan Xuan would actually meet him here today.

Zhuge Jin looked at Duan Xuan with a bright smile on his face.

"Why are you here?"

"I have planned many times, and finally escaped from my uncle's control, and I am going back to Xuzhou to see the old house, and then I will go to the main hall to meet you."

"You haven't heard of it yet," Duan Xuan sighed, looked at Zhuge Jin, who was a little puzzled, and said, "The main hall is no longer there." ”
