Youzhou, right Beiping County.

"Ding! While! The sound of forging blades in the blacksmith shop was non-stop.

"Guest, this is your knife. The cut on the blade is too large, and if it is just repaired, it is easy to re-crack. Therefore, the small one took matters into his own hands, thickened both sides of the knife with fine iron, and cultivated it to look like a dragon for the sake of beauty. Are you satisfied? The blacksmith said as he handed the long knife with both hands.

"Oh?" Guan Yu took the knife and looked at it carefully, "Well, that's good." You are indeed the best blacksmith shop in the whole of Youzhou. ”

"Second brother, this knife is now domineering, why not make a name?" Zhang Fei also watched with satisfaction.

"Blacksmith, why don't you give it a name?" Guan Yu said to the blacksmith with a smile.

"Yo, objectively, you have lifted the small one, how can we have the strength to strike iron. But since you have opened your mouth, you should look at it from a small ...... Well...... Why don't you call it 'Cool Saw'? ”

"Leng Yan saw ......," Guan Yu repeated.

"It's called the 'Green Dragon Glaive Knife'." An old voice came from inside, it turned out to be the old master who was quenching a sword.

"Or is my master level, and the guest officer thinks it?" The blacksmith scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"The god is like a green dragon roaring in the sea, and it is like the glaive fighting Kyushu. Good name! Zhang Fei smiled and nodded at the master.

At this time, eighteen cavalrymen came running quickly on the street, and the first two of them also led another horse in their hands and stopped in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

"Second master, third master, uncle called the two of you to go back immediately and prepare to set off." This is what Zhang Fei requested, on occasions where there is no need to reveal his identity, do not call him a "general".

"Second brother, let's go." Zhang Fei handed the money to the blacksmith, got on the horse with Guan Yu, and left in a hurry with the horses that came to pick them up.

The blacksmith looked at the dust raised by the horse's hooves, and couldn't help but smack his lips: "Tsk, this guest officer is so magnificent, look at these subordinates, riding horses with a lot of majesty." ”

"Hmph," the old master snorted, "I don't have any knowledge, that's the 'Yanyun Eighteen Riders'." ”

"What?! That and that...... Isn't that the man just now ......" The blacksmith asked the master with wide eyes, stammering.

The old master didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "The one with the beard must be General Zhang Fei, and the one with the red face and long hair is Guan Yunchang who 'Wenjiu Kills Huaxiong'." ”

The blacksmith listened to the old master, and looked in the direction where Guan Zhang and the others left, his eyes full of envy......

……

Outside the city gate, Guan Zhang followed Liu Bei and Gongsun Zhan to stand at the front of the team, and a young and handsome general walked beside him.

"Xuande, let me introduce to you, this is Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, a righteous soldier of Changshan who led his troops to join me a few days ago, and he is responsible for taking charge of the cavalry for you this time to support Tian Kai. Zilong, this is General Liu Bei and Liu Xuande that I mentioned to you. ”

"I've seen General Liu." Zhao Yun stepped forward and arched his hand.

Liu Bei saw that this person was extraordinary, his eyes were like torches, and he loved it very much in his heart, so he also bowed his hand and said: "Then this time I will bother General Zhao." Then, he said to Gongsun Zhan: "General Gongsun, I still hope that you can think more about Liu Yu's affairs, after all, at the same time, the Han clan relatives can't bear to see him suffer." ”

Gongsun Chan said with a serious expression: "There is no need to mention this matter again, I have already advised him not to believe in Yuan Shu, since he refuses to listen, why bother with more words." ”

Liu Bei wanted to say more, but Zhang Fei pulled him from behind, and he didn't say anything more.

Gongsun Zhan saw that Liu Bei was a little lost, so he took his hand and said with a smile: "Xuande doesn't need to worry about anything else, now he just needs to concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao." When you come back from your work, I will make you the commander of the plain county. ”

"The last general...... Yes, sir. Liu Bei was helpless, but he had no choice but to agree and lead the army to Qingzhou.

……

In the second year of Chuping (191 AD), the old ministers of the loyal Han family in the court wanted to secretly send the Son of Heaven back to the east, and sent Liu Yu's son Liu He to flee Chang'an, sneak through Wuguan to ask Liu Yu for help, and let him bring troops to meet him. Liu He passed through Yuan Shu's station and told Yuan Shu about it.

At this time, Wu Ning was already at Yuan Shu's place, and in order to curry favor with Yuan Shu, he suggested that Liu He be detained, and another person was sent to inform Liu Yu, saying that he was willing to go to the Western Capital to escort him together, and asked Liu Yu to send troops to go with him.

When Gongsun Chan learned the news, he tried his best to dissuade Liu Yu, but Liu Yu refused to listen, and finally sent thousands of cavalry over. As a result, Yuan Shu detained these thousands of cavalry and took them for his own use. Gongsun Chan was furious when he heard this, and scolded Liu Yu for being stupid and unwise, and even more so, the two had a disagreement on the plan for governing Youzhou: Liu Yu advocated focusing on benevolent government, while Gongsun Chan advocated the development of the military. Finally, the two turned against each other.

Yuan Shao has been looking at the north since he occupied Jizhou, and when he saw this opportunity, he sent troops to prepare to take Gongsun Zan first, and then Liu Yu.

Gongsun Chan had no choice but to put aside Liu Yu's matter for the time being and focus his attention on the direction of Jizhou. He appointed Yan Gang as the pastor of Jizhou, Tian Kai as the pastor of Qingzhou, and Shan Jing as the pastor of Yanzhou, and sent Liu Guanzhang and the three of them to lead the army to reinforce Tian Kai, and Zhao Yun, who led the army from Changshan County to join Gongsun Zhan, also accompanied him.

This is the first encounter of lowly heroes in troubled times, like a little spark falling in the wilderness, destined to ignite a fire on the earth......

——————————————

Yanzhou, Dongjun, a suburb of Puyang.

Tens of thousands of horses were fighting in the wilderness under the hillside, and Cao Cao's generals led the cavalry to slash back and forth, and the enemy gradually could no longer support it.

Xiahoudun looked contemptuously at one of the enemy soldiers who was rushing towards him, and with a wave of his long knife, he slashed into the man's waist. Then, with a loud roar, he picked the man up and threw it at the other two enemies who were rushing at him with their swords, knocking them all the way away.

The three people on the hillside stood on their horses and looked down, but their expressions were very relaxed.

Cao Hong led the horse to Cao Cao's side and said with a smile: "Yuan Rang estimates that he must be angry now." ”

Cao Ren glanced at him and said, "It's not because you provoked him, what do you say, if the eldest brother also has generals like Guan Yu, why are you afraid of this group of rabble, alas, you know that he is the most competitive." ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but smile: "Yuan Rang thought that the Black Mountain Army could gather hundreds of thousands of people and occupy Taihang, so it should be very strong. Now, I'm afraid I'm going to be a big disappointment......"

……

Of course, Xiahoudun didn't know that the three of them were making fun of him, but he was really angry - where is this fighting, the enemy has no rules at all, it is simply a scoundrel fight in the market, there are no moves, no formations, and no unified command, he only knows how to raise his weapon and shout and rush over for a nonsense.

"Get out!" He finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and slapped the head of an enemy soldier with a knife, directly slapping the man's head open.

Xiahou Yuan looked at him, and could only shake his head helplessly and smile bitterly, so he brought the horse over, "Brother, dissipate the gas, dissipate the gas, it should all be hunting." ”

"Hunting is much more fun than that!" Xiahoudun yelled at him, flicked his knife back without looking back, and put down another enemy.

"Good, good! When this battle is over, we will go hunting to vent our fire. Xiahou Yuan couldn't be persuaded, so he had no choice but to rush into the enemy pile again.

……

The well-trained elite soldiers fought against the disorganized uprising peasants, and there was no suspense at all, and the battle was soon over.

Cao Cao smiled and looked at Xiahoudun, who was walking up the hill with a suffocated expression.

"Yuan Rang, hard work."

"Mengde, this battle ...... It's so aggrieved even if you win! "The generals in Cao Cao's camp are casual with him, and Cao Cao likes this very much, and he doesn't mind.

"Okay, Yuan Rang, dissipate your anger, you see Miaocai's temperament, you should learn more, there will be a big battle for you to fight in the future."

“…… Be. ”

Looking at Xiahoudun's angry face, Cao Cao couldn't help but want to laugh, "Pass the order, collect the troops." ”

After defeating the vanguard of the Montenegrin army, the army cleared the battlefield and began to retreat.

Cao Cao looked at the direction of the setting sun and said casually: "I don't know what happened to Jingshi now......

——————————————

Western capital, Chang'an, Lu Bu's mansion.

"Tell Lord Zhang Ji that he will come to congratulate him when he arrives." Lu Bu looked at the invitation in his hand and said to the person who came to deliver the letter.

"The little one retired first." After saying that, the person who came retreated.

There was a few people laughing next to him, and Lu Bu turned his head helplessly and looked at Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and the others, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"General, how long have Zhang Jicai and that Zou Li known each other, this is going to be a marriage, why don't you hurry up, let the brothers drink the wedding wine of you and Diao Chan." After that, there was another burst of laughter.

Lu Bu looked at the brothers in this room, and said with a wry smile: "Bu has offended Miss Diao Chan somehow, and she has deliberately avoided me when she has been to Lord Wang Yun these times." ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he stood up and walked in front of Lu Bu, and said with a solemn expression: "General, I, Zhang Liao, shouldn't be too talkative, just ......"

Lu Bu looked at him nervously, not knowing what he was going to say so seriously.

"It's just that, general, you ask for flowers and willows, even the brothers can hide it, but how can you let Miss Diao Chan know?" After saying that, the whole room leaned back and fell back in laughter.

Lu Bu looked at them with his mouth open, and it took a while to react, and he helplessly lowered his head with his right hand to support his head, completely giving up rebuttal.

……

The night shrouds Chang'an, the stars and the moon are hidden, and the heavy rain is coming.

In a long and narrow alley, the mysterious figures of three people swayed.

"Everything is as Shen Shuai expected, Zhang Ji has fallen in love with you, in the future, you only need to pay close attention to the movements of the Jingshi and report back at any time. If there is a new order, I will inform you again, but I just hope that by then, you will not be pregnant~~~" A charming woman said charmingly, it was Xu Yuan, who attacked Zhang Feng and Ren Ying before.

"Don't worry about Xu Division, he also serves Shen Shuai, and Zou Li knows how to do it." A woman dressed in a big hat responded.

"Yo~~ Our family Li'er is still angry, isn't my sister teasing you?" Xu Yuan smiled and stretched out her hand to caress Zou Li's face, "Such a beautiful woman, it's cheap Zhang Ji's kid." ”

"Okay, Xu Fentong, don't make trouble." The burly man next to him said in a thick voice, it turned out to be the big man who used an iron pillar as a blade when he attacked Zhang Feng and them that day.

"Okay, okay, alas, you are really out of style, don't make trouble," Xu Yuan took her hand back, her smile gradually turned into unbearable, and her eyes seemed to be a little moist, "Sister Li'er, be careful in everything, Hu Che'er will stay to help you, just say it's your distant relative." My sister will be back in a month's time. ”

"Got it, Sister Yuan, you should be more careful." Zou Li was also a little reluctant.

Xu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable when she saw her like this, so she quipped: "You should be careful of the handsome guy on this road, okay, my sister is gone~~" After speaking, her figure flashed and disappeared in the night.

"Let's go too." Hu Che'er gently pushed Zou Li's back and walked in the opposite direction.
