In the middle of May, the sky is scorching, it is already early summer, the mountains and fields, the road between the dark crowd walk here, the carts, the basket is shaky, the walking team is ragged, the hungry people, they fled from Zhuo County, Linxiang, to the hometown, Fanyang to go, originally did not experience the war, but the rout influx, everything is destroyed, bad luck, the family grain, women are ruined by the other party, even plundered, I am afraid that it will be difficult to return home in this life.

There were faint cries from the crowd moving forward, hunger and exhaustion crawling on their dazed, frightened faces, and the occasional child's cry mixed together to form an unspeakable suffering.

Behind, a horse-drawn carriage drove over in a panic, and someone looked back with a wary look on his face.

Bang Bang .....

On the rough road, the wheels turned, crushed over the uneven mud puddles and stones, and the carriages swayed and creaked with the uneven road. The coachman wielded his whip and pulled the reins from time to time to control the horses, and a horse was on the front of the side, and the middle-aged scribe's hair was disheveled, his robe was dirty, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Get out of the way of the people in front! This is Yuan Jizhou's son's car, don't block the way, quickly retreat to both sides-" Xu Yu mixed the horse's belly with all his might, and kept shouting loudly at the bustling refugees.

Coming all the way from the north, they are no different from refugees. After bidding farewell to Gongsun Zhi and leaving Juyong Pass, Xu You naturally did not think that it was as simple as the other party giving a little gift to let him say a few good words, but as soon as he left on the front foot, the other party then sent troops to raid Changping, worried that the wolf would rebel and take Yuan Xi back, Xu You had to speed up and bypass Changping Chaoguangyang, but as soon as he arrived here, he witnessed the collapse of Jiang Yiqu...... Then the rout came in a flood and swept everything......

A lot of things were looted on the way, and the three carts of gold, silver and porcelain sent by Gongsun were all looted by the rebels, and in the few battles that broke out, the guards around them died and scattered, and now there are only a few people who are still following, and even the last mouthful of dry food on his body has been eaten up a few days ago.

In the nearby villages, refugees fled, and there was nothing to fill their stomachs in the fields and houses. After a while, there was a commotion in front, a cavalry rushed away from the refugees in the direction, the crowd was crowded and stranded for a while, Xu You saw the soldiers and horses that were not Jizhou, and quickly shrank his head and squeezed into the crowd, and after a while, he heard a voice shouting in front: "The front is giving porridge!" ”

The stagnant tide of refugees slowly began to move, speeding up and surging past, Xu You sat on horseback and looked high, looking far away, there were indeed several teams at the end of the crowd who had built a porridge shed there, and when they looked at it, they were a little disappointed, they thought it was opened by the government, but it was a rich gentry nearby.

The curtain behind the car was lifted, Yuan Xi's somewhat pale face poked out, and his voice was weak: "I'm hungry in my stomach..... can the messenger go and ask for some gruel.....

"Childe..... this ....." Xu You was a little embarrassed, but the remaining guards took over the errand and went to the front to ask for it, and after a while, there was the sound of arguing and scolding.

"Who is Yuan Jizhou, who is using you to talk about it?"

"Now that you know, the person sitting in that carriage is the second son, and your meat and good food will be brought over!"

"Roll on...... Who doesn't say empty vernacular? Want something to eat? Take it! Hurry up and go back to fill your second son's stomach, the province is starving to death. ”

The scolding came, Yuan Xi's face was full of anger, Xu You hurriedly stopped him, reached out and touched his waist, all the tokens to prove his identity were left in the escape, and he couldn't help sighing: "Second son, bear with me, there is still a long way to go from Yecheng here, and it is not easy to cause trouble." ”

The escort who begged for gruel came back, Yuan Xi was still a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man after all, and he was abused in Shanggu County, and he was also hungry now, so he took a big gulp of the broken clay pot and drank it into his stomach, and then he thought that there was another person in the car, so he hurriedly handed the little remaining bit to the other party.

Xu You also took the gruel, got off the thin horse and sat on the dirt next to the road and poured it into his mouth without figuratively, someone next to him trembled and walked over with a branch, and sat down nearby, Xu You raised his eyes vigilantly, and saw that it was an old man, hesitated, and handed over the little food in his hand.

The old man stretched out his thin arms to take it and thanked him, and after a while, the old man comforted Xu You: "Don't be afraid of ......, the fight will be over in a short time, and we can go home again." ”

Xu You looked at the thin old man, many of the teeth in his mouth were gone, and among the people who went south to escape the war and the chaotic soldiers, there were more like this old man, and there would be fights and bloodshed from time to time in the crowd. Lewdness, robbery of property rations happens.

It is difficult to say whether the old man in front of him will return to his hometown alive again.

After a while, there was a panic in the front, and the news of the battle in front came from the team - Wen Chou's army was defeated, the two generals died and fled, more than 10,000 people died in Juma Shui, and the wolf king of the north stepped into the range of Yi County.

Hearing the news, Xu You knocked his knee hard, stood up and swept his eyes around the refugees as if there was no end, the fields were barren, and everything that could be eaten was swept away, this scene was compared with last year, and even in the past few years, I never thought that Jizhou would become like this, it was like two worlds.

"Disasters and man-made disasters...... Prosperous Jizhou...... Is that all gone? ”

Soon after, the sun was setting in the west, and to the west where they were resting, four figures came down from the western foothills, mixed with murderous and bloody spirits between the stars and the moon, and when they saw the carriage parked there, Xu Yu sitting on the ground, the blade inlaid with seven precious stones was pulled out with a bang.

"Lend us a carriage!" The beautiful female voice is indifferent.

"Bold!"

The four guards pounced with their knives, and the four of them lifted their coats and walked quickly with knives to meet them, their skirts swirled, and the swords swung down, and blood and knife light splashed in this sunset.......

***************

The giant horse water, the river surging eastward, the corpses on the bank of the river have been cleared, only a headless corpse hanging on a wooden pillar stands there.

Several figures walked by, and the crows pecking at the corpses flew away in fright, and the sound was mixed with the sound of water waves.

“…… The disaster victims rose up because of the war, you and I and even the entire initiator are at fault, Zhao Yun's face is cold, but his heart is still hot, he did the right thing, chasing and killing the rebels, at least let the people suffer some losses, and what I can make up for is to temporarily transfer some military food to help them, and die less, so I can sleep peacefully at night. ”

"However, the war is a war, it's not that we want to fight, but that the world is already in chaos, and it will be reunified as soon as possible, and the people will still have a share of it after all. But right now, Wen Chou on the other side of the river has not been able to get out of the village in the past few days, and there is a great possibility of retreating to Yi County, what are your strategies to break the enemy? ”

Walking past the headless corpse, the footsteps stopped on the bank of the river, and the setting sun shone over, Gongsun Zhi glanced back slightly at Li Ru, Tian Yu, and even Lu Bu behind him. Tian Yu took two steps forward and arched his hand: "Lord, the persecution is too urgent, it is easy to make Wen Chou retreat to the city and defend it, which will delay the war in the south." ”

"Confucianism has a plan." A gloomy voice floated in the wind, and Li Ru squinted his eyes and looked across the river, "...... as Guo Rang said, it is indeed easy to make Wen Chou frightened and retreat to the city if he is persecuted too quickly, what if he conquers Dazhai in one fell swoop?" Walking through the soft soil, he walked to Gongsun Zhi's side, who lowered his ears and said in a low voice: "Confucianism has sent people to borrow cattle from various great clans......

"Fire Ox Formation......" Gongsun Zhi nodded and agreed to this strategy, "..... that's good, although ploughing cattle is precious, it's better than letting soldiers carry their lives, huh...... In the future, let these people go to Cao Mengde to ask for this account. ”

After Li Ru and Tian Yu were ordered to leave, Lu Bu, who was not far away, walked over, he glanced at the back of the leaving, turned his head and said, "It seems that you don't want Jizhou anymore?" ”

"What do you do with it?" Gongsun Zhi's fingers swept around: "Wenhou, look, the east faces the sea, the west is Taihang, the south is Cao Cao, and the north is Youzhou, I haven't even gotten Youzhou yet, and then I go to occupy Jizhou, and Cao Cao will not be able to hold it in the future, it is better to take Youzhou first, and connect it with the five counties of Liaodong and the borderlands, which is no worse than a Jizhou." ”

Lu Bu snorted coldly, and then frowned: "You are still too few, otherwise, with the appetite of your Gongsun Dudu, it is impossible not to eat the fat in front of you." ”

"Don't talk about this ....."

Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and pointed to the south with a smile, "That is Yi County, that is, Yi Jing, where my father Gongsun Chan died, leading more than 100 people to charge Yuan Shao, delaying the time to evacuate in order to survive." ”

"General Baima's prestige, I admired him for a long time when I was under Ding Yuan's account, and he was a bloody man, but unfortunately he was in Youzhou, I couldn't see him in Bingzhou, I felt a pity, and then I almost killed Ling Zun under the Bishui Pass....... things in this world are really strange, because fate will meet, I went to his son again, to help do something." Lu Bu sighed with his hands in his hands.

Gongsun Zhi stepped forward to stand side by side with him, looking in the same direction: "So, I don't want Wen Hou to be like my father, and do things that put himself or even his brother in danger with blood. ”

"Huh...... Without blood bravery, there would be no Lu Bu. Next to him, the tall and mighty figure chuckled and said, paused, and turned his head to look at Gongsun Zhi: "You are still young, and when you are at your peak, you have not yet come......."

"...... and me, the peak time is not long, I can do more, just let the world remember me more for a while."

The waves of the river rolled and rolled, and the sunset soon set, and when it rose again, the war finally broke out completely in the area of the Yellow River in the south, and it would be a big war that enveloped half of Jizhou.

Yanjin.

The soldiers and horses stretched from the northeast to this side, and the first thing Zhang He, who was rushing to the front, said when he saw Guo Yuan, was to ask: "Cao Mengde garrisoned on the other side of the river, can he attack here?" ”

However, on the 17th of May, the silent White Horse sent out his army.

The stretching army, in Cao Cao's field of vision, gathered in the field like a long dragon, pushed to Yan Liang's position in front, on the mound, the green dragon glaive hung obliquely, on horseback, the figure with heavy jujube and long hair looked at the general among the ten thousand troops, and the phoenix eyes slowly half opened.

"The ....... of the first person to sell the first bid"

The sound is like a bell.
