Chapter 377: Precursor
It was drizzling in the sky of Kamiya-gun.
On the road to the north gate of the city, the chariot ran over the stagnant water and slowly turned, and when the ripples were restored, the forest behind the carriage stepped on it with a bang, splashing water stains, and there were very few pedestrians on the street, standing on the side of the street in twos and threes watching the procession pass.
"Mrs. Zhen...... Don't worry about going back, you don't have to do things yourself, you just need to help give my subordinates convenience. In the carriage moving slowly, some voices were strong but not high, so that the others in the carriage did not dare to ignore them.
The curtain rose and fell with the wheel, lifted a corner, and looked from the outside, revealing a part of Gongsun Zhi's rough and fierce face, and his words were plain and clear: "I fight with Yuan Shao, whether it is victory or defeat, in the final analysis, the Zhen family will not suffer a little loss, on the contrary, it will be one step closer, only your Mrs. Zhen dares to do such a thing, or other people, even men may not have such courage." β
The woman who was originally silent on the side, after hearing this, her half-drooping eyelids jumped slightly, and she leaned forward: "Concubine Xie Dudu praised, a woman wants to support the huge family business for her deceased husband, so she has to do more things, since the governor can understand, then the concubine is here first." β
Zhang's blessing gave a salute and looked at the daughter beside him, "This is the eldest daughter of the concubine, Zhen Jiang, who has just lost her husband, some of her brothers have died, some are officials, and she is unwilling to take care of the family business, I will take her with me, and I will come to Shanggu County to be considered familiar with the governor, in the future, the concubine is old and can't move, someone will always take over." β
"Zhen Jiang has seen Du Du!" Over there, the woman who was not too old and was also in her twenties timidly glanced at the tall figure opposite and whispered.
"If Miss Zhen wants to remarry, you can consider my Beidi son. Most of the generals under my command are single, and when they marry in the north, I am afraid that the generals will not want to be the generals, and they will be a rich man at home with their wives...... However, when Miss Zhen comes to the grassland, I am naturally welcome, and you can often come to my mansion to walk around, and you and my wife are about the same age, so you may be able to talk about it. β
Gongsun Zhi smiled at her, and said with a joke, and soon arrived at the gate of the city, he got up and got out of the carriage, waved his hand to bid farewell to the mother and daughter, and when the carriage went a little farther, he turned around and walked up to the city, standing behind the battlements and looking at the distant procession, attracting Jian Shuo.
"After passing, find a way to kill Liyi first, Xu Rong's Xiliang army and Yu Poison's Montenegrin army are mobilizing, and when Xu Rong goes up to Taihang Mountain, he will directly attack Wuruan Pass, and force Jizhou, and then it is best to let Yuan Shao take the initiative to kill Liyi. As for Yuan Xi, it is still the old rule to rob him and hide him and Zhen Mi together, but he can't expose the Zhen family. β
The first to the dead is a little difficult, this is Zhao Yun and Liyi after a few battles in Jizhou, the affirmation, if you can borrow Yuan Shao's hand to get rid of the other party, without the first camp led by Liyi, it will be the same as the trapped camp without Gao Shun's commander, just a decoration for the outside strong and the middle.
Jian Shuo bowed slightly, his figure was already tall, and his smiling expression at this time looked flattering, "As long as General Xu cooperates well, the slave and maid will let that Koji general die in vain." β
After bowing down and speaking, he was about to turn around and go down the city wall, "There is one more thing ......" The words came from behind him, and the eunuch turned his head, and saw Gongsun Zhi, who was looking outside the city wall, turned his face slightly, "...... When everything is done, kill the old woman too. β
"Yes!" The corners of Jian Shuo's mouth rose slightly, he said softly, walked down the city wall quickly, beckoned dozens of henchmen to go out of the city gate, arched his hand again on horseback towards the figure on the city tower, and whipped his horse to chase the caravan that had gone far ahead.
"Snakes and rats never end well...... Since you have begun to train your successor, then I will help you ......"
The wind blew up the city and carried cold words into the distance. The cool raindrops hit Gongsun Zhi's face, and he took one last look, the scenery outside the city, someone came over and held up an umbrella, and immediately, turned around and left.
To the south of Kamiya-gun, light rain falls on the foothills.
Xu Rong, who was dressed in military uniform, led the war horse up the hill, looking at the winding black below, like a long snake squirming and climbing up, the rain-soaked flag was attached to the flagpole, the war horse neighed, and from time to time there were slippery stones rolling down the mountain. Near him walked a group of heavily armed foot soldiers, shields, guns, knives, and even bows.
- That's the newly formed trap camp.
He is actually not familiar with Gao Shun, in the original Xiliang Army, Xu Rong's status is not very high, not to mention that the other party is just a general under Lu Bu, the estrangement of the class, naturally unable to know the person named Gao Shun, especially Gongsun Zhi's advice before leaving, for the general who is trapped in the camp, he naturally does not believe in it very much.
What's more, now that he has been transferred to the party, he has been ordered to attack Wuruan Pass in danger, so that Yuan Shao can divert his attention to the northern grasslands, so as to increase the credit for his status in the north, and let a little-known Gao Shun take it......
Three thousand trapped camps past, at the forefront, a solemn and majestic general with an iron helmet stationed on the steep rock, looking at the endless foothills, sighed, "Fengxian...... Shun will put himself in danger, hoping to rekindle your blood and bravery. β
Between the foothills to the south, the dense footsteps walked through the rugged road, the atmosphere was solemn, since receiving the news that he would be the main force to attack Liaodong, Yu Yu had not really slept in the half month of almost excitement, riding on horseback, constantly urging Yang Feng and other generals, he looked at the north according to the hilt of his sword: "It's our turn to make meritorious contributions, speed up the marchββ"
Then, in the middle of the mountains, the two armies staggered, and the generals of both sides handed over some things to each other, and killed them in the place of their respective missions.
Yecheng is still prosperous and busy, with several years of operation, a large number of northern heroes, people with lofty ideals took refuge in the famous Yuan Shao, now the soldiers and horses in their hands have already exceeded the scale of several times in the past, even if the cavalry is less, but still has the capital overlooking the world.
"The heroes of the world are all in my hands, what will Cao Apu and Gongsun Wolf do to fight with me!" Yuan Shao stood on the towering Yecheng city wall, overlooking the vast land in the distance, and finally said these words in high spirits.
β¦β¦
In the mountains in the northwest of Jizhou, the Xiliang army came over the mountains and mountains, and 30,000 soldiers and horses arrived at Wuruan Pass.
β¦β¦
The light rain washed the leaves bit by bit, outside the wall of the pass, the scouts rushed into the city gate, the Jizhou general named Jiang Qi was punished and transferred away from the central core because he was wrongly reported to the soldiers and horses of Yecheng a few years ago.
Then, he saw the scouts rushing into the city, the other party had obviously fought and was wounded, "General...... Enemy...... Xiliang Army ......"
Jiang Qi frowned and raised his gaze to look behind the drizzle, faintly aware of something.
β.β¦β¦ There is Xu Ziqi, and the Xiliang Army is building a ladder......." The scout continued intermittently, "....... It's coming......"
"Immediately pass the news of Gongsun Zhi's sneak attack on Wuruan Pass to Yecheng and personally hand it over to the lord!" Jiang Qi turned around and suddenly yelled at one of his henchmen, "Be fast-"
The wind blew through the pass, the drizzle swayed slantingly, in the foothills, set aside the branches and stood on the rocks on the side of the mountain, Xu Rong and Gao Shun looked side by side at the misty pass, the faint pass, and clenched their fists.
"General Gao, although you and I came to Jizhou to attract Yuan Shao and facilitate the lord to attack Liaodong, but I can't take down a single pass, how can I make Yuan Shao face me and other Xiliang athletes? At the beginning, he led Dong Zhuo into Beijing, but he took the opportunity to escape, fishing in troubled waters to the current power, this time I will personally lead troops to meet him, and this Wuruan Pass ......"
β.β¦β¦ Just an appetizer for you and me to return to the world's vision! β
In the fourth year of Jian'an, on March 17, the former Xiliang army attacked.
