The sound of horses and footsteps came from outside the tent.

Zhang Liao sat at the back of the long case, looking at the military information that had just been delivered above, the lights flickered on his face, flickering in the night, at a certain moment, closing his eyes, he could see that many years ago, the two people walked through the city of Yinguan, and the wind and snow covered their chatting and laughing.

On the plain silk, fog, blood, and corpses, 40,000 people were broken......

Gongsun Chief......

More than 10,000 cavalry......

Things came like a dream, remembering that snowy night, he looked back at the hills of the White Wolf Plain, and vaguely remembered saying to others: Look, it doesn't look like a wolf. Now that he was about to face the old man who had grown into the wolf king, he soon let go of his worries and walked out of the tent, and the April sky was bright and eye-catching.

"Let everyone be ready to meet the enemy, the wolves have come to Daze Township." He gave the order.

Yuzhou and Xuzhou border, Daze Township, Qi County.

Daze Township is named after a low-lying lake on the way, Qi County belongs to Pei County, when the Yellow Turban is chaotic, it is not good to break it, the people are displaced, after the Yellow Turban went to Xuzhou, it was eliminated by Tao Qian, coupled with the increasing prosperity of Xuzhou, driven by the trade route, it gradually regained its former appearance, the folk customs are simple, but also stable.

In the middle of March, the war spread suddenly, Cao Cao and the world-famous Lu Bu confronted in Peiguo, Xuzhou a soldier and horse from Xiapi County came to settle in Qi County, in case the southwest of Xuzhou was attacked by a sneak attack, the arrival of the army almost disrupted the peace of the surrounding villages and villages, the people were panicked at the same time, there were also many people to avoid the possible war into the city or avoid Huainan.

At present, not many people understand when the war will come, the people who are running around in the fields and on the road, under the clear sky, in the miserable white sky, the pedestrians with their bags on the west and south roads from Qi County as the center, the men who drag their families and their mouths, the old people who carry the salutes, the ox carts and horse-drawn carriages crowd to leave, the old women who can't walk sit on the side of the road with their tattered burdens and sigh, and the women hold the children who are crying in the crowd at a loss.

Under this sky to escape the war, less than 30 miles west of Daze Township, the mighty soldiers have approached Qi County.

At the beginning of April, a large number of cavalry from the west stayed in the field at a certain time, set up a simple camp, and the bonfires were lit in the camp one by one, and in the big tent of the army, the cauldron was steaming, and the cooked venison was tumbling in boiling water, and then scooped up, cut into dozens of parts, and distributed to the various generals in the tent.

Gongsun Zhi, who was sitting with a big Malaysian golden knife in the center of the tent, tore off the meat with a big mouth, and talked to everyone about the situation here.

"I remember Daze Township, it seems to be the place where Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, right? These two people are amazing, and in a word, the prince will have a kind of Xiangning, which will be remembered forever. ”

Gongsun Zhi's history is not good, but for such a celebrity, he can probably still remember, talking about such a topic at this time, on the one hand, he didn't want to mention Zhang Liao directly, before coming, he already knew that Lu Bu in order to prevent Cao Cao and his soldiers from dividing into two ways, respectively in Pengcheng and Qi County, one south and one north, sent Zhang Liao and Zang Ba to garrison, almost blocking the way into Xuzhou.

"It's not forced, if it were me, I would have reversed." Dian Wei tore off the big man, and his appearance was quite ugly, "....... If you do a small job, you will be hungry. ”

"What's a hungry stomach!" Pan Feng, who has been in the limelight recently, put down the cooked meat and slapped the table: "If you want me to say, it's better to beat that Zhang Liao now, and kill Xia Pi in one go." ”

Li Ke raised his eyes and glared at the smug figure over there, he didn't know that the leader had a friendship with that Zhang Wenyuan, when he was a horse thief, the other party also took care of him, which was also a kindness.

"Hmm." Gongsun Zhi wiped his hands, pressed his elbows on his knees, looked at Pan Feng and nodded, and said indifferently: "The fight is definitely going to be fought, and you will be the pioneer when the time comes." ”

The tent was quiet, Dian Wei stopped the meat on his lips, and looked over playfully, Yan Rou, Gongsun Xu and others nearby also looked at him, Pan Fengzheng looked at them left and right with a serious expression, and waved his hand: "Look at what I do again, last time I beat Lu Bu, I naturally couldn't beat him, this time Zhang Wenyuan, why be afraid of him?!" I'll come—"

Loudly and happily responded, everyone stopped the meat in their hands, their eyes were a little surprised, and in the first place, Gongsun Zhi nodded: "Okay!" However, fighting with Zhang Liao is not the goal after all, most of the wolf riders in Bingzhou are under the command of Lu Bu, and Zhang Wenyuan still has a majority of foot soldiers in his hands, so it is okay to fight in the past, and before that, ......"

The cloak stroked, the words paused, Gongsun Zhi glanced at the generals in the tent, and his fingertips tapped lightly on his knees: "....... I want to talk to him. ”

The wind blew through the tent in the evening, and soon after the sky fell, the fast horse went out from the camp, and when he came back, it was late at night, and the Xuzhou army in Daze Township had been mobilized, there were more than 10,000 people, and when he came back, the other party had already made food and was ready to pull, and he should be in the field of Qixian County after dawn to intercept them.

On the surface, Zhang Liao's attitude has been very clear, but in the end he decided to be willing to meet with Gongsun Zhi, the two of them have been separated from Yanmen for many years, and when they turned around, the original horse thief was already the governor of the north rewarded by the imperial court, and he changed from an official to a general under the command of a non-minister, and fate was like a joke on the two.

Zhang Liao, who was dressed in a purple robe and built-in armor, rode a horse and stood on the field, looking at the distance stunned, behind him was the city wall of Qi County, under the wall were 8,000 foot soldiers, and more than 1,000 horsemen were waiting in formation, the early morning wind blew through everyone's cheeks, looking nervous and uneasy, and the white wolf that broke 40,000 in one night was an indescribable pressure.

Soon, a soldier leaned out and shouted, "There's cavalry coming ahead—"

More than 8,000 people buzzed and whispered, clenched the weapons in their hands, and the ground under their feet began to tremble slightly, followed by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and in front of countless visions, in the soft morning light, a black line appeared like a wave between the heavens and the earth in the west.

The Iron Riders are coming.

The soldiers on the city nervously raised their bows and arrows, and among the more than 1,000 cavalry under the city, someone came over: "General, retreat into the formation first, in case the other party does not keep its word......"

On horseback, his hand was raised and shaken, and Zhang Liao said softly: "He has always kept his promises, you don't need to panic." ”

As he spoke, his eyes did not leave the wave surging in front of him from beginning to end, getting closer and closer, the roaring horse's hooves gradually slowed down, and the cavalry array that was laid out was like a wall pressing over, making people feel suffocated, and when the cavalryman vigilantly pressed the hilt of his sword, on the opposite side, a touch of red rose in the wind, and he rode out alone and stopped not far away.

Here, Zhang Liao drove the hook and sickle into the ground, passed it empty-handed, and then stopped, raising his hands up: "Gongsun Dudu, don't come unharmed." ”

"Wenyuan, don't come unharmed." Above the shadow, the figure of the scarlet cloak also arched his hand.

"Okay, it's just that it's not good for the governor to send troops to Xuzhou."

Zhang Liao finished speaking in a low voice, facing the old man again, he still had some mixed feelings in his heart, "Feng Xian finally has a place to stay, why should the governor join forces with Cao Cao to attack, forcing people to be too anxious." ”

"When you go up the mountain to fight a tiger, you have to take advantage of him when he is weakest." Gongsun Zhi put down his hand, leaned over and stroked the restless and restless mane of the war horse, "....... Wen Yuan, look at this world, you take a part, I take a part, bits and pieces, do you think it's good-looking......"

The voice drifted flat in the wind.

Xiapi, the guard in front of the gate of the Lu Mansion came out of it, made a gesture of invitation to the figure under the stone steps, led a dress dressed in ordinary clothes, and modestly arched his hand towards the guard, and then searched behind him before walking up the stone steps.
