There was a thunderclap in the sky, and soon a drizzle of rain fell.

In the night, the lights were dim and crumbling, Xu Rong provoked the wick in the lamppost standing on the desk, the firelight lit up again, and the bluestone carved chessboard was illuminated on it, and the figure of someone on the opposite side casually took a square cylindrical chess piece and fell.

"Raven is a good thrower, can you?" Xu Rong looked at the falling chess pieces and smiled, and then also threw his teeth and took a move. "Right now, there should be a fall out in Zhang He's army on the other side, but it's a pity that there is a soldier."

Since the dispatch of troops to raid Wuruan Pass, Xu Rong has been thinking about how to get rid of Jizhou's best use of soldiers Koji Yi, after all, that person almost wiped out the white horse with the strength of 800 people, regardless of whether the ambush or the weapon is superior, from another aspect, people have to admit that this army and the main general should be faced, if the enemy is defeated from the battle array, kill 3,000 enemies, and lose 800 of his own truth, he understands, not to mention that the other party is also very good at using soldiers, and the formation of a stalemate is not in Xu Rong's interests, and the Xiliang army dies one less one, and has to cherish it.

At the same time that Yuan Shao sent a fast horse to Wuruan Pass, in fact, the Zhen family also sent someone to inform him, so that there was a scene of today's battle, if he sent the dead soldiers to take advantage of the war to sneak into the camp first, and find an opportunity to create chaos so that Liyi and Zhang He could fight, it was something that had been planned for most of the month.

And the mastermind is the opposite, Li Ru, who is twisting up the chess pieces, he throws a falling piece, "Playing chess is like a battle game, pawn chess should be used in the best place, sacrificing an insignificant chess piece, in exchange for an opponent's general, how to look at it is cost-effective, if the dead man has a small family, it will be more generous, it will be regarded as compensation." ”

When he said these words, his tone was indifferent and cold, as if there was no emotion in it.

The rain outside was a little loud, and it was rattling on the roof, Xu Rong nodded, and there was still some worry in his eyes: "....... What if there is no fight? ”

"Why can't you fight......"

Li Ru raised his gaze, looked at Xu Rong opposite, and scooped a spoonful of warm wine into the two of them with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Koji Yi has an arrogant temperament, and he has the evil of rebelling against the old master, do you think Yuan Shao will not be disgusted in his heart?" Otherwise, with this person's talent, he would have led an army alone, in fact, I don't count him, and sooner or later he will die...... But at this time, he was framed, and Koji's character would never be soft, so he ...... It's just a dead end. ”

"Listening to Gao Shun, this person is not inferior to him on the battlefield, and it's a pity to die like this......"

"You want to recruit him to the lordship?" Li Ru took a sip of wine, fell down, and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, with his temperament, even if he goes to the north, he will cause a lot of trouble, and he will die the fastest, and the person who will die will be the fastest to die, and the person is recommended by you Xu Rong, and the relative will also be involved, finally the lord let you stand in front, you should cherish the opportunity, before you let you guard Yanmen County is to boil the eagle, to boil the mark of the past, but fortunately you survived, otherwise it will ......"

Xu Rong looked at the chessboard, and finally understood the reason why he wanted to be stationed in Yanmen County for a few years and not use it, of course, he was different from others in this regard, he has always been calm and calm, and he was also a desperate Gongsun Zhi, and he did not betray the old master.

After speaking for a while, there was silence, the door knocked suddenly, the guards opened the door, and the sound of rain dripping from the eaves came in, and Hu Feng, a general who was originally under Li Wei's command, stood outside the door and arched his hand: "General, sacrificial wine, news from the scouts, there is a sound of fighting in Zhang He's camp." ”

"It seems that Koji Yoshiki will die."

Li Ru said softly, patted his cuffs and stood up, "According to the time, Yuan Shao should be here, and the next battle will be General Lao Xu, and Ru is going back to Shanggu County to sit down, and when the time comes, you must pay more attention to Yecheng's side, and be ready to meet Jian Shuo and Han Long." ”

"What's the hurry?" Xu Rong got up to send him off.

Walking to the door, the scribe turned around and shook his head, and glanced at the rain curtain hanging from the eaves, "Liaodong is also at war, I have to go back to sit in the center, if there is an accident, I ...... I'm sorry for the scholar in the east, and the next thing has basically been arranged, as long as the soldiers and horses are set up to block Yuan Shao, and he is not allowed to go north to Youzhou to attack Liaodong, and the matter will fall to the ground. ”

After a pause, he bowed to Xu Rong: "This matter, it's please." ”

The people were gone, and only the sound of rain was left in the sky outside.

……

The night is gradually passing, Fan Yang.

The march of 40,000 people was winding like a long dragon, the flag covered the sun, in the light rain, a carriage shook on the sloping road of the pits, Yuan Shao received the news that Liyi had killed himself, and was silent and speechless, and when he heard the words that the other party said on the verge of death, after a while, he threw the silk in his hand directly out of the car, and was still stepped on by the soldiers.

"Blame yourself ......"

He closed his eyes and said, and after half a loud sound, when a general came over to report the information along the way, Yuan Shao opened the curtain and ordered: "Turn around and go to Gu'an, let Yan Liang and Han Rong lead the troops to go first, unite with Zhang He, and pull out this nail as soon as possible." ”

The voice was not high, but his eyes were stern, "Go to Liaodong again and find Gongsun to stop bad luck!" ”

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

Liaoxi County, Yangle.

Outside the city, the soldiers and cavalry figures came and went, that was the sense of urgency when the big war was approaching, the banner with the word Gongsun was hunting in the camp and the school field, and between the busy and noisy camps, Gongsun Du was wearing armor and a group of henchmen and generals were doing patrols, and there were conversations from time to time while walking.

"Pinggang has Gongsun Zhi's soldiers and horses, it seems that this time he completely wants to defeat the Liaodong Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes in one fell swoop, and now the people over there should be anxious, and recently they have sent several groups of envoys to me to seek peace..... but at this juncture, it is useless to say anything else."

The crowd walked through the school field, Gongsun Du said this, and the generals behind him were also silent and difficult to answer, he took a deep breath and looked at his own flag, but he felt quite an eyesore, always feeling as if this place no longer belonged to him, but to another guy with the surname Gongsun.

"Damn, the same surname is also the same."

He scolded in a low voice, but his face was solemn and quiet, in the past ten years, he has run Liaodong, ruthlessly and cruelly rectified all the wealthy clans here in Panhuan, killed thousands of people, and divided the entire Liaodong into Liaoxi and Liaozhong, which is convenient for more effective governance, and even repeatedly defeated the invasion of Goguryeo, and firmly grasped the exercise of power in his hands by virtue of his prestige, even if a white wolf stood above his head, his Gongsun Du is still the king of this land.

It's just a real title missing, and last month, Yang Yi brought back the news, and at the same time brought more than 35,000 soldiers and horses from Gongsun Zhi.

"If you want to be crowned king, you can! Help me get Xianbei and Wuhuan down, and I will allow you to be crowned king. ”

This is what Gongsun Zhi said on the way here, and in the following half a month, Gongsun Du was anxious for a long time, and finally accepted this fact, and frequently issued orders to mobilize the soldiers and horses of various counties, as for the envoys sent by Xianbei and Wuhuan, most of them were sent back, but the gifts sent were all accepted and given to the officers and soldiers in the army.

In the eyes of others, he is buying people's hearts, but he is indeed buying, more to consolidate the loyalty of his subordinates, only Gongsun Du himself understands in his heart that the wolf that swept through most of the grassland, what kind of army does it have, and what kind of ferocity it has.

This time 35,000 men were dispatched, of which 10,000 were elite cavalry...... No kidding.

Looking at the fluttering flag of Gongsun, he felt a tremble in his heart, and then, he decided to let people take the dazzling flag, and then let people make a big flag with 'Liaodong' written on it and hang it again.

In the vast eastern part of Liaodong, as the baggage camp in Pinggang smashed the final hammer, the blood wave was already rolling in from the west.
