Zhao Yun returned to Luoyang, less than a month, and there was an urgent report from Xizuo, Gongsun Zhan's situation was worrying, and he was about to be unable to withstand it, Yuan Shao besieged Yi Jing on all sides, attacked day and night, and vowed to take Yi Jing in one fell swoop by any means.

Crossbows, catapults, tunnels...... Yuan Shao used almost all the methods he could think of.

Jia Xu came to see Zhao Yun, and reported the situation with an unusually relaxed expression, Jia Xu has never advocated meddling in the situation in the Central Plains, in his opinion, no matter who fights whom, it doesn't matter, anyway, in the end, Zhao Yun can sit and reap the benefits.

But Zhao Yun doesn't see it that way, since he was exposed by Guo Tu in front of Sima Yi's home, Zhao Yun fell into deep self-blame, he thought about it for a long time, it is true that everything Jia Xu did was to plan for him, first give Liu Xie to Cao Cao, so that Zhao Yun could let go of his hands and feet and do a big job without any constraints.

But in doing so, Zhao Yunxin was not happy at all, and when he thought that Liu Xie was controlled by Cao Cao in his hand, at his mercy, lonely and helpless, Zhao Yun's heart tingled.

Zhao Yun was silent for a while, and suddenly remembered something: "Wenhe, it is said that Yijing Tower has millions of grains stored in it?" Is there such a thing? ”

Jia Xu nodded, "It's true, according to the news from the detailed work, the grain in Yijing Building is no less than three million hundred." ”

Zhao Yun had a sad face and suddenly stood up, "Wouldn't it be a pity if so much grain was burned by Yuan Shao?" ”

Jia Xu's eyes widened suddenly, "Lord, there are so many capable people under Yuan Shao's account, but no one thought of this fire attack plan, or the lord is clever." ”

Although Yi Jinglou is solid, but after all, it is a wooden building, sooner or later someone will think of burning it with fire, and the defeat of Gongsun Chan has long been doomed, but the three million grains, Zhao Yun is distressed, if it is burned, it will be a pity.

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, and thought about it, "Lord, Liu Yu's old department is still stationed near Lulongsai, and there are twenty or thirty thousand people over there, if the lord wants to fight those grain and grass ideas, those people should be able to help." ”

Liu Yu's old subordinates had rebelled against Gongsun Zan before, and they had been persuaded by Zhao Yun to temporarily retreat to the border outside the Saiwai, hibernating, waiting for an opportunity.

Zhao Yun nodded, made up his mind, and said decisively, "This matter is very important, there is no room for mistakes, I will go to Youzhou in person." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun was so concerned, Jia Xu couldn't stop him.

Time was pressing, Zhao Yun immediately summoned everyone to the council hall and proposed to lead troops north.

As soon as Zhao Yun told the matter, Xu Huang and Tai Shici were all very enthusiastic and asked for battle, and Wu Anguo, He Man, and Guan Hai also clamored to follow along.

Lu Bu hesitated, and also stood up, "Let me go with me, I have been in the north for a long time, and I am very familiar with the geography and mountains in the Youyan area." ”

Zhao Yun looked around at everyone, seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic and had a high fighting spirit, he nodded with satisfaction, "That's it, Fengxian, Wenyuan, Gao Shun, and Zitai will go north with me, Ziyi and Gongming can't be negligent, in my opinion, Ma Teng and Han Sui are almost in trouble, you should pay more attention, immediately lead the troops to gather in Tongguan, once there is a change in the pass, send troops quickly." ”

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shunjiu are in Bingzhou, not only know the mountains and rivers in the north well, but also often fight against foreign races, have rich experience in the battlefield, and are famous outside the world.

Zhao Yun didn't bring too many soldiers and horses, he chose and chosen, picked and chosen, and finally only brought 5,000 people.

Go out of Luoyang to cross the Yellow River, and then gallop along the Saiwai Plain all the way to the Yanmen generation.

Tian Chou and Zhao Yun walked side by side, urging the horses to hurry while enjoying the scenery outside the Saiwai.

In recent years, the Southern Xiongnu have changed a lot, although many young and strong people have been relocated to Sili, but the Xiongnu have not become depressed and cold, Zhao Yun's approach has accelerated the further integration of the Han and Xiongnu.

At present, the herdsmen outside the Saiwai are no longer just grazing for a living, many people have gradually settled down in the place where the water and grass are abundant, they used to live in tribal groups, and now they are gradually developing to the towns, just near Pingyang, there are more than a dozen large and small towns, and the residents here, some of them cultivate the wasteland, some hunt for a living, and some do leather business with the Han people...... As the population became more prosperous, the markets became more prosperous, and the locals lived more stable and prosperous than before.

On this day, the team arrived in Pingyang, and Zhao Yun ordered to camp in place.

The 5,000-strong army was large but not chaotic, the ranks were orderly, and the heralds galloped on their horses, shouting loudly, "The lord has an order, and it is not allowed to disturb the people, and those who violate the order will be severely punished by military law." ”

Pingyang is the location of the Southern Xiongnu royal court, and Hu Chuquan is Zhao Yun's sworn brother, Zhao Yun doesn't need to say hello, Hu Chuquan brings people out.

"Brother Xian, when you arrive in Pingyang, you won't send anyone to inform me?" Hu Chuquan rode his horse to the front, and his tone was slightly reproachful.

Zhao Yun shook his head, "Brother, don't blame, this time I went north, the younger brother has important military affairs, the time is urgent, and I can't afford to delay on the road." ”

If it weren't for the purpose of replenishing grain, grass and fresh water, and allowing the soldiers to rest properly, Zhao Yun really couldn't rush to Yanmen in one go.

Hu Chuquan didn't dare to ask more, he wanted to invite Zhao Yun to go to the city to rest, but seeing that Zhao Yun insisted on refusing, Hu Chuquan was not reluctant, so he personally led people to transport wine and food to the barracks, and ordered to raise grain, grass and fresh water immediately.

Follow the local customs, everyone gathers together, eats barbecue, drinks mare's milk wine, talks and laughs, but it is also lively.

Hu Chuquan didn't dare to slack off, and personally selected some Hun women to cheer everyone up for singing and dancing.

Although Zhao Yun is not lustful, he is also pious to exotic customs and does not refuse.

Tian Chou drank a few sips of mare's milk wine, frowned, and shook his head again and again, "Hey, I can't enjoy this taste, it's better to drink alcohol and tea." ”

Guan Hai pulled his throat and spoke without tabooness, "Mr. Tian, I don't think you are used to drinking mare's milk, you want to drink human milk, right?" ”

In a word, everyone was amused, and Tian Chou's beard trembled, "It's really vulgar." ”

Tian Chou is a person who has read the scriptures and books, and he can't scold people in public, so he can only blow his beard and stare at him, secretly holding back his dark anger, Zhao Yun pretended to be annoyed and gave Guan Hai a sharp look.

Guan Hai was also interesting, and smiled innocently, as if nothing had happened, "Lord, let's go around from outside the plug to Yanmen Pass, Yuan Shaogong and Sun Zan can't think of it, and they will definitely be able to catch them off guard when the time comes." ”

Lu Bu grabbed a roasted leg of mutton and walked towards Chen Gong, "Gongtai, this roasted leg of mutton is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, it tastes excellent, you can taste it." ”

Chen Gong glanced at him, snorted coldly, grabbed a piece of horse meat casually, put it to his mouth and nibbled on it.

Lu Bu was hung there, his expression was a little embarrassed, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and had to walk back stupidly.
