The South in Winter.

The weather was wet and cold, and the piles of corpses on the city wall of Shouchun had been transported away, lying under the frozen soil, and the blood stains were still spreading on the city, slowly drying up with time.

On the earth, where the burial is not thorough, occasionally the arms or a certain part of the human will be exposed, the beasts that are difficult to forage for food in winter go out of the forest hungry, gouge the carrion in the soil, as early as before the winter, the war has ended, the mighty soldiers spread across the city wall, the will of the people inside is completely destroyed, the defeated soldiers fled from this important town with the panicked Yuan Shu, and went to Huainan to settle down.

"After the eunuch, he treated me like this...... I didn't claim the title of emperor, and I didn't attack him...... What a hate! Yuan Shu stood on a small city wall where he temporarily stayed, looking at the north with some resentment, when the cold wind blew, he shivered, and scolded stupidly: "After the eunuch!" "Walk down town.

However, there is still Sun Ce behind him, he knows that this is no longer a place to stay for a long time, and decided to wait until the spring of the second year and take his family to Jizhou to join his brother Yuan Shao...... Let's start all over again.

And his resentful Cao Cao, since April, sent troops to launch an offensive against Shouchun, successively broke the defense line of Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Le Jie and others, and broke through the important town of Shouchun before the winter to collect troops back to Xudu, leaving only Li Dian and Le Jin two generals to guard, encircle and suppress the scattered rebels, or the bandits entrenched in the mountains and wilderness.

Four years of Jian'an have passed in the beacon fire.

At the beginning of spring in February, the weather has not yet warmed, the branches that have just been cut off the ice and snow have tender green buds, and then slowly tremble, and then violently shake, the ground came with a roaring sound, the black pressure of the cavalry galloped from under the trees, the strong body, dark skin Cao Chun, a body of armor majestically standing on the high platform, looking at the cavalry called the tiger and leopard slowly stopped in the huge school field, showing a piece of spirit wolf smoke.

There was a spring thunder in the sky, and he raised his head and looked in the direction of Xu Du. Medium-sized, Cao Cao was dressed in a black official robe, solemnly stepped on the stone steps of the palace, and walked all the way into the Chengguang Palace.

The surrounding civil and military ministers stood quietly on both sides, watching the scene of the monarch and the ministers meeting each other, and in the quiet hall, at a certain moment, they heard the heroic, but simple voice of the man.

"Your Majesty, all the ministers around Xu Du have been pacified...... It's time to take Yuan Shao from the north. Standing in the middle, Cao Cao, who was holding the hilt of the sword, opened his mouth like this.

Since the beginning of spring, the soldiers and horses of Yan, Henan, and Xu, which nominally belong to the imperial court, have faintly shown signs of mobilization, and Taishan County, north of Xuzhou and west of Yanzhou, has been successively assembling the troops that have been drawn up, absorbing Zhu Ling, who originally belonged to Jizhou, and Zang Ba, who surrendered, has swelled to a scale of 30,000 people, which is used to resist and counterattack the first array of Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.

The towering city, the figure of the figure who is not outstanding looks at Qingzhou, but the eyes are exceptionally bright and bright, and behind him are Zang Ba and Zhu Ling.

"The great cause of the lord is in front, and the eldest husband should hold the three-foot Qingfeng, make immortal achievements, and do not lay down this Qingzhou...... I won't go back. "The voice is very soft, with a firmness that cannot be underestimated, he is the commander of this army - Yu Ban.

This kind of firmness is not limited to Taishan County, along the west of Yanzhou, more troops have been assembled on the south bank of the Yellow River, while strengthening the defensive line, while monitoring the movements of Yuan Shao's army on the opposite side, there is no more precise order to come, probably still adopt a conservative attitude.

And in Xudu, full of gunpowder information and the debate on whether to send troops, for some ministers in the court, Yuan Shaonai was the fourth and third duke, sitting on hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were well fed.

The sky did not shine down, Cao Cao walked out of the Chengguang Hall with an expressionless face, and then turned out of the palace, when Xu Chu stepped forward to take over the supporting role, he stood on the chariot, turned his head, and looked at the imperial city with his eyes: "A group of timid people, whether you agree or not...... I'm Cao Cao. ”

In the imperial city, in the insignificant corners, the bright sunlight shone on the wet marks of the melting ice and snow, the water droplets brewed from the eaves, and then dripped on the plain white and delicate palms.

In the distance, the man had conquered two huge alien races in the north, and once again she felt her heart surge, and the slap could almost still be faintly felt by the stinging pain......

That fierce, heroic man...... Wolf-like man......

Under the eaves of the corridor in the distance, Queen Fushou led a little girl of five or six years old, passed from the sight, and at a certain moment, she made a decision to turn around and tidy up the room that belonged to her.

The next day, Ren Hongchang unloaded his errand and prepared to leave here and set foot on the northern land, and it was not long before the situation began to spread, and north of the Yellow River, tension was already rising.

Jizhou has presented a slaughter, Yuan Shao's body has been much better, he can go to the ground normally, handle official business, received the news of Cao Cao's movement on the south bank of the Yellow River, made a majestic look, a group of strategists below argued, discussed, his eyes flashed a trace of disgust, casually threw the information on the table, brushed his sleeves and left.

He was not afraid of Cao Cao's series of actions, and in the next few days, he quickly made a judgment by himself, and while quickly mobilizing troops to gather on the north bank, he sent letters to Gao Gan and Yuan Tan, asking them to be careful of Cao Cao's sneak attack and not to take it lightly.

It will take him two or three months to gather more troops, and during this period, it is best not to lose a city or a place, and try to be cautious, after all, there is still a wolf behind him grinning and waiting for an opportunity.

Several confrontations with Gongsun Zhi, almost all of them failed, although the loss was not large, but at this time the other party has grown into an immeasurable opponent, many times before the other party grows up, give a heavy blow, but Juyong Pass, Yanmen Pass is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, people can't swallow.

"Ziyuan will go to the north again, and the promised grain is already on the way, and he wants to go back to my son by the way."

"Yes!"

Xu You's face twitched slightly, so he had to give up his order and take a team of hundreds of people to embark on the journey to meet the evil wolf again.

Jiangdong, a young man named Sun Ce looked across the river, and walked behind him a tall but gentle man, with a handsome appearance with a spring breeze-like warmth, walked side by side with him, looked north together, and then said something, the two looked at each other and smiled, and rode away, they were about to conquer more places in Jiangdong.

In the Central Plains, Ren Hongchang unloaded all the errands in the palace, refused the queen's retention, only took a seven-star treasure knife, as well as a few personal female guards, and an inconspicuous skirt robe, left Xudu, and rode towards the north.

On the northern border, Lu Bu stood in the grassland where the sprouts were emerging, guiding Lu Lingqi who was riding a handsome fiery red war horse, and from time to time there was a girl's shouting and screaming in the gallop, and the mighty figure did not have the majesty and murderous aura of the past in this daylight, and occasionally looked back, near an ox cart, the virtuous wife was sitting there with her six-year-old son in her arms, looking at their father and daughter with a smile.

Dozens of miles away from Hemeimei's family, the black iron horsemen whistled like the wind, after the beginning of spring, they rushed back from Wuyuan and Dingyang in the west, and in the forefront, the ironclad general with knotted muscles and a long knife in his hand dismounted at the west gate with a crooked nose and a slanted mouth beside him.

Standing majestically under the city wall, he arched his hand towards the familiar figure on the city tower and knelt down on one knee.

In the city, Sima Yi, who had unloaded his last errand, was full of excitement, leaning on the pillar next to him with a halberd, and was talking to the quiet and gentle woman opposite, preparing to show his strength in the future battle, and then to welcome her through the door......

The tension in the south had not yet reached the border where Gongsun Zhi was, but all the eyes of the world had already looked here, waiting for when this mighty white wolf that shook the north would ...... Open the wolf's kiss.

Downstairs in the city, at a certain moment.

"Look, that's right." Gongsun Zhi stood on the city tower, looked at the murderous iron rider below, and picked up his short son, "....... If I don't speak, a bunch of bugs will dare to make a sound. ”

The little man raised his face, looked at his father, and then nodded.
