At night, the wind blew.

The night sky was cloudy, revealing a starry sky, the leaves swaying in the wind, the night insects chirping in the grass, the daytime battlefield seeping into the darkness, the chewing of minced flesh and bones, and the low roar of some wild beasts came from afar with the whimpering wind. Turning his back to the foot of the mountain, the makeshift campfires stretched out, and beside the piles of bonfires, the figures of the buildings talked in small pieces, and the neighing of horses in the camp from time to time.

After dark, the baggage behind had already followed, at this time in the distribution of some dried meat to the soldiers to replenish their strength, Huang Zhong carried a bow and knife in the middle camp gate dismounted, and when he walked to the big tent, several wheels drove in front of him, and the sound of metal collision was the captured armor of the Great Qin people, and the residual blood seeped through the car board, and as the wheel rolled, it dripped on the ground little by little.

"Wen Chang, do you think it's strange in today's battle?" Huang Zhong looked at the past carriage and stopped.

Wei Yan, who was walking half a footstep behind, also cast his gaze at the chariot: "What the general wants to say is about the Great Qin people?" ”

“…… After killing the hill, the old man found that there were few people with deep eyes and high noses, and when he came back, he had doubts in his heart. Huang Zhong clenched the handle of the knife in his hand, and snorted on the ground, originally Wei Yan wanted to say a few words, but now he looked at him and changed the topic: "The governor will be promoted, and the old general has doubts in his heart, why don't you ask him in public?" ”

After being silent for a moment, Huang Zhong glanced sideways and nodded: "This naturally needs to be asked." ”

"It's better not to ask the old general in public."

Suddenly, a voice came from not far away, and when the two of them looked, walking through the dim light of the fire were two figures walking side by side, one was tall and handsome, holding a big gun, extremely heroic. The other person was only wearing a lace blue dark coat, a green scarf and hair, a handsome face, a slender and straight figure, and a Confucian general's temperament.

When the two of them approached, the wind still smelled of burning.

The person who spoke just now was Zhou Yu, his eyes crossed the corners of his eyes, he glanced at Wei Yan over there lightly, said what he just said with deep meaning, and arched his hand to Huang Zhong with a smile: "When I see that governor for the first time tonight, the two generals should not stay outside for a long time, let's enter the account and wait together." ”

"Two first!" Huang Zhong saw that the other party didn't want to say more, so he made a gesture of please.

Sun Ce arched his hand at him, walked in front of Zhou Yu with a big gun, and he lowered his voice: "Why did Gong Jin stop him just now?" What's the problem? ”

"Then Wei Yan wants to instigate Huang Han to rise to ......" Zhou Yu walked on the side and looked at the big tent in the distance: "....... If you question the Gongsun Governor in public, the old general is afraid that he will eat the military stick, and if he can't say it, he will lose his life, and the wolf will also eat people. ”

"Wouldn't that be better? In a mess, once there is infighting, the western expedition will not be successful, and you and I can also go back to Jiangdong. Sun Ce clenched his fist and waved it lightly in the air, sighing: "Gong Jin shouldn't be nosy. ”

"That governor wouldn't let the Western Expedition fall on foot so easily."

The burning light of the brazier in front of the big tent had shone on Junxiu's face, Zhou Yu smiled and gestured politely to the guard holding the mace, and said softly in a voice that only Sun Ce could hear: "You and I Jiangdong came here, there is no popularity, remind that old general Huang, when he comes back to the memory, he will naturally be grateful to us, go to the Western Regions, the road is far away, if something is not good for the children of Jiangdong, there are also people on your side and me, say something." ”

The slender fingers stretched out, opened the curtain, and the moment the fire light inside came out, the words changed: "Bo Fu, please." Sun Ce nodded, understanding that it was not the time to continue the topic just now, so he walked straight into the big tent.

At this time, there were already two generals of the Cao army, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Chun and Zhang Fei, who had been recruited alone, and a middle-aged scribe who had not been seen in the march.

Everyone marched all the way over, and there were some intersections, and after sitting down, they were acquaintances, even though the two sides had fought more or less secretly before, but now there was a harmonious atmosphere on the bright side.

Outside the tent, the footsteps were dense, dozens of wolf guard soldiers escorted the leader and walked towards this side, and the rows of army sergeants and soldiers in armor and guns outside the big tent saw the lord coming, stood straight, boomed, knocked the ground with the handle of the gun to make a sound, and Li Ke, who was standing at the mouth of the curtain, roared: "The governor has arrived——"

Then he lifted the curtain and followed the giant man behind the figure that entered.

In the tent, everyone who was still talking hurriedly stopped talking and stood up together, Sun Ce was still hesitating, and was pulled by Zhou Yu next to him, so he slowly got up, and watched Gongsun Zhilongting, who was dragging a cloak, walk to the first place, and stand still behind the case. The generals arched their hands: "I've seen the governor later." ”

"Sit down." Gongsun Zhi stretched out his arms, asked Li Ke to take off his cloak, and waved his hand down: "When I came, Prime Minister Cao Cheng had already sent someone to deliver your news to me, and I also knew that some of you might see that I was young, and there would be no unconvincing thoughts in your hearts, but it doesn't matter, there is time for you to understand me on the way to the Western Regions, okay, let's get down to business!" ”

These unique words made the generals present somewhat surprised, and there may be some slight words if they are not convinced, but the other party has crisscrossed the grassland, and in the past thirteen years, he first subdued the Southern Xiongnu and Xianbei, and then destroyed the Wuhuan, and now he has united Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao, which is still somewhat convincing.

"This kind of momentum ..... just called the lord of the troubled world." Below Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, who was wearing two armors, clenched his fists and pressed them to his knees, and couldn't help but nod.

Sun Ce arched his hand during the banquet: "Governor, next, what should we do?" ”

As he spoke, Li Ke had already hung up the sheepskin map, spread it out on the wooden frame, and then retreated to the side, got up behind the long case, walked to the map, and clicked on the map from Liangzhou to the Western Regions.

"...... Liangzhou's side of the matter is almost over, although this battle is not to completely wipe out the Qiang people, but what remains is only some small tribes scattered in the depths of the mountains of Liangzhou, and we don't have this time to suppress it carefully. Now the Great Qin people who have entered the country have been wiped out, but they come the second time, they will come the third time, the Han is not his backyard, he can come whenever he wants, the people he kills, the city that he burns, these accounts must always be calculated with them, maybe the Great Qin people also have people who don't know, but it doesn't matter, their emperor should be the most clear. ”

The calloused hand drew an arc on the map, and on it were the names of some countries in the Western Regions, which was the route of this march: "To the north, we will not go, there are many Gobi and deserts, and a long journey is equivalent to death, and we are currently in Zhangye, here!" ”

He clicked at a location on the map.

"Through Zhaowu, through the Zhangye vassal country, through the water, straight to Yumen Pass, and then to the west is Puchanghai, is the gateway of the entire Western Regions, here will be the first baggage camp stronghold to cross into the Western Regions, and then turn southwest, along the foot of Kunlun Mountain....." The fingertips slid and fell on the first name of the Western Regions: "Shanshan, the city of the former country of the ..... Cheshi, was sealed for three years, and many small countries in Cheshi and Loulan followed the Xiongnu to plunder the Han land, and although they were later pacified, they cut off contact after so many years, and the other party did not necessarily welcome the Han people to step into the Western Regions again, so this time we passed, only one sentence!" ”

Gongsun Zhi turned his head, looked at the people below, grinned, and showed Bai Sensen's teeth: "Those who descend will be treated favorably, and those who will not surrender will be slaughtered." ”

"......After all, deterrence is necessary."

The low and indifferent words fell, which of the generals present was not killed in the sea of corpses and blood, and there was probably not much resistance to the slaughter of the city, only Huang Zhong frowned slightly, but more people such as Sun Ce, Dian Wei and others laughed fiercely: "For so many years, I am afraid that they have forgotten my Han people." ”

"...... just have a good fight anyway!" Zhang Fei stood up and laughed: "When the time comes, I am willing to be a pioneer, I have been fighting for many years, from the north to Runan, I haven't gone to the Western Regions to see, and I will go back in front of my two brothers, and some of them will blow." Don't you rob me—"

Xiahou Yuan glared at him: "You came here single-handedly, and the soldiers and horses under my command were used in the battle during the day...... Where did you get the confidence to take the position of pioneer. ”

"Father-in-law, you're not happy, why do you have to talk to a family!"

"Zhang Yide, ...... you" Xiahou Yuanyuan's eyes widened angrily, and he brushed his face aside.

Everyone in the tent was suddenly amused by the two of them laughed, the private affairs of the two people, in fact, were also spread at the beginning, but this kind of family affairs could not be moved to the table, there was a falling face, most of them would not hang on their lips, and now they were exposed, and the two of them did not have a scene of blood flying, so they laughed no longer hidden.

Gongsun Zhi looked at everyone with a smile and laughed for a while, then stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the noisy voice quieted down, and he sat back at the back of the case: "The plan is temporarily decided, pull out the camp tomorrow, and wait for the cavalry led by Lu Bu and Zhao Yun to come to the meeting in Zhangye's subject country, by the way, there are three cavalry teams of Xianbei, Wuhuan, and Xiongnu, totaling about sixty or seventy thousand people, when the time comes, you should exercise a little restraint, and they will be the front army." ”

"...... the three family slaves are also here?" At the same time that Zhang Fei's voice suddenly sounded, he heard a loud bang on the desk, Gongsun stopped slapping on the table, and his tall body stood up suddenly: "The Western Expedition is a major national event, and all my personal grievances are hidden for me......"

The lights flickered, reflecting the angry figure on the tent.

"...... whoever violates the military order will be killed!"

***********

In the northeast, the wind blows through the grassland, causing ripples.

He was originally the son of a leader, his father was later killed by Kebineng, and he was also living under the enemy, and now Kebineng is dead, and he was supported by the wolf king of the north to become the new Shan Yu, which is also justified.

However..... the letter in his hand was Jian Man, the other party was once the son of Xianbei Shan Yu Helian, who fought for the country with his father, and finally was defeated and separated, and disappeared into the vast grassland, but he didn't expect to contact himself.

He walked out of the tent, his mind becoming complicated.
