The snowflakes were dried snowflakes that melted immediately and took a while to melt away.

"I can't count it, you don't know, childe, when you went to the grassland, there was a lot of snow, big and small."

Yuan Xi remembered the heavy snowstorm on the grassland before, Youzhou did not have such a big snowfall, to be precise, some Xianbei old places near the edge of Youzhou did not have such a big snowfall, so although the snow disaster was violent, the scope was not very wide.

"It's snowing heavily, but hopefully the harvest will be better next year, and then we can do something we want to do but haven't done for a long time."

In fact, the prohibition has not yet been lifted, but with the passage of time and as the time for the lifting of the prohibition is coming, the drinks in some places have been served one after another, and Zhang Zhao also turned a blind eye to this, closed one eye, and did not say anything more.

As for Liaoxi County, which is far away from Jixian County, it is even more visible, and the wine has not been cut off.

After all, in the winter, many people rely on drinking two sips of wine to get rid of the cold.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu heard Yuan Xi talk about this, their faces suddenly became solemn, the general direction of Youzhou has long been decided, but it has not been implemented, the biggest reason is that winter is coming, and it is not suitable to use troops in heavy snow, otherwise the rest of the Xiongnu would have already fought.

On the basis that the general direction has been set, for the surrounding Goguryeo, Fuyu, Sanhan and other places, Yuan Xi decided to personally conquer, and as Yuan Xi's personal guard commander, they will definitely follow to the front line at that time, so whenever Yuan Xi talks about this matter, they will also listen carefully, for fear of missing some of what Yuan Xi said, and thus being scolded by Yuan Xi again.

Back at the Taishou Mansion, Yuan Xi was just about to lie back on the bed, warm the quilt, and read the book, when he heard the guard report that Chen Gong was coming.

"Call him in." Before the clothes were taken off, Yuan Xi put on the tires and walked to the table and sat down.

"Lord, Liu Bao has been contacted." As soon as he entered the door, Chen Gong said excitedly: "Liu Bao sent someone to find our prisoners early this morning, and I raised this matter, but I didn't expect him to really agree." ”

"What about the captives?"

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Naturally, half of it is released, and the remaining half is left to stare at the next second lord when you go to meet him."

Yuan Xi didn't have any intention of killing those captives, and said, "Okay, when will we meet?" ”

"Tomorrow afternoon," Chen Gong hesitated, and said, "But he asked him to bring only ten people at most, otherwise he would not see them, saying that he was afraid that you would send a large army to strangle them." ”

Yuan Xi said angrily: "What kind of nonsense is this? If I could have sent troops to strangle them, I would have sent troops a long time ago, and I would wait until this time, this person has a sick brain, and he actually suspects this? When the time comes, bring more people, let's do him directly, so brainless, what use do you want him. ”

Chen Gong laughed dryly twice and explained: "He should just say, there is nothing else to mean, Lord Jiangyang Ferry, shall we see it or not?" ”

"How many people did he take?"

He said a hundred, and then two big ships would be able to carry a white man at most, and if anything changed, they would be able to escape. He also said that the guards around you must be more powerful than the other, and a dozen and ten is not a problem, and all of them should be a dozen and ten belts. ”

Yuan Xi was happy to hear it, "This kid has a kind, is he playing with me, or does he really want to talk to me, I'll go and see it tomorrow, you send someone to talk to me, and say that I agree." ”

Chen Gong smiled and said, "It's the lord, I'll send someone to reply." ”

Yuan Xi stopped him and wondered, "Why don't I think you're worried about my safety at all?" Aren't you afraid that I will be slaughtered because of my small number? ”

Chen Gong wiped his cold sweat and replied: "The lord came this time, but he brought it, two fierce generals who are stronger than Wen Yuan's martial arts, if a few water bandits are allowed to fight, then my Youzhou army is too easy to deal with, and this is the trust of Commander Dian and Commander Xu." ”

"There you go." Yuan Xi waved his hand.

After Chen Gong went down, Yuan Xi thought about tomorrow, he felt that Chen Gong was also quite adventurous, but there was also a trick to guess people's minds, such a person was much different from Jia Xu, and the different endings of Chen Gong and Jia Xu in history may be a portrayal of their respective personalities.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Xi lay on the bed, picked up a book and began to read. He has been pondering some books on the art of war recently, although the first reading is a bit boring, but if you really read it carefully, you can notice the interest, and Yuan Xi likes to read these recently.

......

The next day, Yuan Xi slept lazily, got up late, and after eating, Yuan Xi was too lazy to take the ten people, only Dian Wei and Xu Chu took them, and let Chen Gong lead the way.

Chen Gong didn't persuade much, and let thousands of elite soldiers follow closely. In the case of a land battle, even if the opponent has five or six thousand water bandits, he is enough to deal with them with one thousand elite soldiers.

When there was still a mile to go from the Jiangyang ferry, a thousand elite soldiers stopped.

Chen Gong said: "Lord, there is Jiangyang Ferry in front, let's go over." ”

Yuan Xi waved his hand: "Don't go, if you really fight, you will become a breakthrough for them." ”

Chen Gong said embarrassedly: "I can also ride and shoot, although I am not as powerful as the lord, but it is more than enough to deal with a few people." ”

Yuan Xi smiled: "You just wait, we'll be back soon." It is estimated that it will not be talked about for long. ”

Chen Gong actually wanted to hear what Yuan Xi wanted to say to this Liu Bao, so seeing this, he had no choice but to lead a thousand elite soldiers and keep an eye on the Jiangyang Ferry not far away, if there was a fight, they could rush over as quickly as possible.

This time, he was leading a thousand heavily armed cavalry.

At this time, the light snow is fluttering, after a night of sprinkling, the light snow still has no intention of stopping, it is still falling, but it is not very big, and when I wake up, the ground is only a thin layer.

The soles of the feet crunch when they step on the snow.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu lost their usual hippie smiles, this time Yuan Xi brought the two of them here, but a hundred trusts, if the two of them are usually not afraid of a hundred bandits, maybe they still want to kill a happy one, but now, they know that the most important thing is to protect Yuan Xi's safety.

At the Jiangyang ferry, a black boat stopped quietly.

The ship was very large, about the size of two or three light boats, and it was estimated that it could fit a dozen people.

About twenty meters behind this black ship, two large ships were quietly docked to one side.

"It's coming pretty fast." Yuan Xi gave Dian Wei a look, Dian Wei took a few steps forward and said loudly: "Where is Liu Bao?" ”

"Here," as soon as Dian Wei's words fell, the stern curtain of the awning boat was opened, and a sturdy man looked at the three of them and smiled: "Which of you is Yuan Xi?" ”
