"Drive-"

The whip whipped in the air, the blue sky, the dense stars between the clouds gradually disappeared, the east was flooded with skylight, the morning breeze blew through people's cheeks with a little coolness, and the figures riding war horses crossed the plains, hillsides, and hills, looking at the mountains ahead.

The team occasionally paused to rest, the horses flicking their tails to nibble on the dewy grass on the hillside, and the leading figure stood at the edge of the cliff on the hillside, looking at the wisps of golden light from the clouds in the east, slowly spreading over the earth, shining over, and then squinting.

Cao Shi ...... An idiot. ”

The lips opened slightly, and he muttered, the golden light shone on his face, driving away the slight cold and dew, as early as on the way here, the team that was originally walking slowly received the news that Cao Shi had been chopped up a day ago, and it accelerated the trip.

His original name was Chu Yan, he was in his thirties, when the Yellow Turban broke out, he tangled a group of people to gather for thieves, crisscrossing the mountains and rivers, attacking everywhere, gathering 10,000 people in the chaotic world, and later after the Yellow Turban was pacified, he returned to the north again, and occupied the mountains north of the Yellow River with Zhang Niujiao.

At that time, he liked to look at things and people by force, but after the death of Zhang Niujiao, the burden of hundreds of thousands of people was pressed, and some views gradually changed, he began to read and write, and his personality became calm.

A few years later, he contacted and merged the bandits in Changshan, Zhaojun, Zhongshan, Shangdang, Hanoi and other places, and his power swelled to the extreme, and even the imperial court was unable to fight against them, but the emperor died, the new emperor was controlled, and the princes from all walks of life had no intention of rescuing...... Zhang Yan knows very well that the troubled times are coming, and how to go about the rest of the road is already an imminent matter.

Some of the thieves who came in were not of the same mind as him, such as Lei Gong Cao Shi of Zhongshan, who was originally used to test Gongsun Zhi's chess piece, but unfortunately he died before it could play a role, which made the chess piece he raised next unable to fall, just like a game of chess, the other party suddenly lifted the chessboard without saying a word, which made him a little at a loss.

For the person who lifted the chessboard, Zhang Yan actually had a lot of complicated emotions in his heart, relying on the war horses exchanged by the other party earlier, so that he had enough thousands of cavalry in the mountains, of course, he should be grateful to the other party, but when the person named Gongsun Zhi really arrived here from the grassland, he didn't want to entangle with the other party too much.

This man is a wolf, ferocious and free on the grassland, what will happen if he can't stand the restraints? Maybe it's a ripple in a stagnant water, or maybe it's like a boulder crashing into a pool and making a huge splash, drenching everyone standing at the water's edge.

"I hope ...... It's me who thinks too much. He looked at the light of day and whispered softly.

After resting for a while, the horse team galloped again, and the fast horse first went to Daning Mountain to report and meet the person, the sky was slanting in the west, and the wind blew up in the afternoon, and when it became cool, on an arched hillside outside the mountain, the two met again, and each brought hundreds of people to guard the vigilance.

The two set up a stool on the hillside, sat down and arched each other's hands, "Cao Shi, he ......" The two sides were silent for a while, but Zhang Yan still spoke first.

"He's ...... here," Gongsun Zhi threw a package on the ground and rolled over, "...... It's inconvenient for you to do it, I'll kill it for you. ”

Zhang Yan arched his hand and nodded, never looking at the person in the package at his feet from beginning to end, "The leader of Gongsun took a righteous action to punish the unsuccessful guys in the Black Mountain army, Feiyan thanked ...... first"

"General Pingnan, don't say anything insincere." Over there, the figure raised his hand to directly interrupt the other party's words, with a smile on his face, one hand on his knee, and his body leaned forward slightly: "...... The general doesn't like me coming to your land, but my grandson still came, but I didn't come to compete with the general for anything. ”

The west-sloping sky is as soft as flowing water, paving the two of them. Zhang Yan was not annoyed by being interrupted, she was silent for a moment, and arched her hand towards the other party: "I want to hear about it." ”

"General Pingnan probably knows that I was forced here." Gongsun Zhi looked up at the red sky, "Actually, I want to go back to the east to join my father, it will always be easier than now, but there are some things that make me reluctant to go back, internal intrigue and mutual attack, not what I want to see, that will only make the alien races on the grassland take the opportunity to grow, don't you say?" ”

The breeze caressed the grass, curled a strand of hair and swayed in his sight, Zhang Yan nodded slightly: "The leader of Gongsun is thoughtful, but ...... As soon as he came, he killed people, and Zhang Yan was not easy to do in front of the other brothers. ”

"They don't have time to take a stand." On the stool, the figure stood up, took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and lowered his voice: "The general probably also knows the news that Yuan Shao has already sat in Jizhou, who do you say is more powerful than Han Fu?" ”

The figure on the stool didn't think too much and shook his head: "Naturally, it's Yuan Shao, Han Fu is just a dog guarding the house." ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Yan had obviously been led to the problem, closed his eyes and sighed: "It seems that the leader of Gongsun not only wants to gain a firm foothold in Zhongshan, but also wants the Black Mountain Army to fight with Yuan Shao." ”

When he said this, the figure walking there also stopped, glanced back, and saw Zhang Yan with his eyes closed, walked back, and sat down again: "Yuan Shaochu won Jizhou, and the people's hearts and foundation have not yet been stabilized, if he really stands firm, how can he allow a Black Mountain army to hide in the mountains beside him." ”

Zhang Yan opened her eyes, stared at Gongsun for a long time, and finally spoke: "...... He Yuan Shao may not be able to bulldoze hundreds of thousands of people in my Black Mountain, and the leader of Gongsun is too alarmist. ”

"The fourth and third princes are all over the place, and with their prestige, they will soon be able to pull up a large army, not to mention that there are strategists and fierce generals around him, who can you take the Montenegrin army? Than people? He has the people of Jizhou as the foundation, compared to grain? Can you compare the barren land in the mountains with the richness of Jizhou! In terms of armor, in a few years, he can abuse you more than ten times. ”

Gongsun Zhi sat across from him and spoke coherently. Zhang Yan wanted to refute, but his closed mouth opened and closed, thinking that he also understood the key.

"Let me think again."

The joints pinched by his fingers turned white, and he straightened his robe, Zhang Yan stood up and walked down the slope, "I'll reply to the head of Gongsun another day." ”

Gongsun Zhi stood up, watched him walk back among the hundreds of people, turned over and got on his horse, then arched his hand, and the other party also took his leave, and led the team to a certain station in the east.

The wind blew through the crowd, and someone at the bottom of the hillside came up to look at the departing figure in the distance, "...... Zhang Yan was a little shaken in his heart, but his family had a big business, so he naturally had concerns, once the war started, I don't know how many people would die. ”

“…… He didn't have a choice. Gongsun Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, that is, he turned and strode back, and when the big gun was lifted, he turned on his horse and gave an order.

"Let Huaxiong and Gao Sheng prepare, under the banner of the Black Mountain Army, first abuse the big families of Zhongshan to train and train soldiers, and let these families force Yuan Shao to go to war."
