The decanter was tossed to the ground and rolled to the door.

"Cao Mengde, get out-"

In the woman's crazy cry, a pair of black gold streaks crossed the bottle on the ground, and walked out of the door, Cao Cao stood under the eaves and gritted his teeth, exhaled, and when he walked out of this courtyard, the housekeeper came up, he took out a plain silk full of handwriting from his sleeve and handed it to the other party, turned back and glanced coldly behind him, and the door closed with a bang.

"Take it in and give it to her, and let her go back to her parents' house."

"Yes!"

took over the plain silk, and the steward, as the old man who took care of the family in Cao's house, didn't know what was written in the plain silk, but he sighed for what happened to Mrs. Ding in his heart, and bowed down.

It was past noon, and the drizzle was cold and cloudy.

The black brocade robe was replaced, Cao Cao was dressed in black armor, wearing a red Shu brocade cloak, and walked out of the backyard, under the stone steps in the front yard, Cao Chun and Xiahoudun saw their clan brother coming over at this time, and hurriedly stood up and bowed his hand: "I've seen the eldest brother." ”

"Let's go."

Cao Cao, who was expressionless, walked down the stone steps quickly, and when he crossed the two, he waved his hand and asked them not to be polite, all the way to the door of the mansion, and when he saw the whole team of guards, Xu Zhu led the horse, he turned over on the horse, and looked back slightly at the two people who were waiting for the order, and some of the unpleasantness earlier gradually dissolved.

"Zihe, Yuanrang, can you two soldiers and horses be ready?"

"It's already in place, just wait for the eldest brother's order!" Xiahoudun was burly and strong, his tiger eyes were raised, and his tone was heroic.

The clan brother in front of him is no longer Cao Cao, who left Chen to raise troops, but the current court Sikong who controls the Son of Heaven to defeat the ministers, but Xiahoudun doesn't care if it is the brother he once knew, on the contrary, he prefers the brother who has been painful, disappointed, and has become full of power in his gestures, probably only such a character can make Cao and Xiahou more prosperous......

On horseback, tense crawling full of majestic face, Cao Cao crossed the reins, urged the horse to take a slow step, behind the two also rode horses to follow, the assembled guards roared out of the neat footsteps, soon after, out of the east gate of Xuchang, the suburbs, to a high slope facing the barracks, Cao Cao heard the war drums beating, echoing in the rainy day.

Several black torrents burst out of the gate, walking into the field with overwhelming momentum, the vision deflected from the direction of the flags, Cao Cao turned his head and ordered Cao Chun and Xiahoudun behind him.

"You guys go too, follow Gongsun Zhi to break Yuan Shu first, and we will meet in Xuzhou-"

Cao Chun arched his hand: "Big brother, take care!" ”

Next to him, Xiahoudun also raised his hand on horseback, nodded his head, and ran to the rear with a reins of the pegasus, the spear was erected in the air, and the roar was like thunder: "Go!" ”

When the tip of the spear slashed through the air, on the field on his side, the roar of three thousand tiger and leopard riders and two thousand regular light horsemen riding on horse's hooves ran with him, and the raindrops fell from the sky, shattered by the galloping figures and war horses, and the iron pieces of iron armor collided in the rush.

On the other side, the number of Xuzhou soldiers and horses is less than 3,000, Liu Guanzhang and the three brothers have solemn and quiet faces, and in their sight, there are countless flags winding on the official road, and the sound of horses' hooves galloping like a torrent comes, under the rain curtain, this is the picture of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

"Two brothers, I'm afraid there won't be any battle with Cao Cao, it's better to just follow the cavalry of the little brother Gongsun to kill Yuan Shu first, I still remember how this bird guy ridiculed my three brothers when the coalition was in the alliance, I have to export my evil anger."

The black man with a swallow jaw and a tiger beard, and the sound like a huge thunder rode on horseback with a spear, looking at the Cao army cavalry speeding by, pulling the reins back and forth, turning around and urging: "Big brother, you have something to say, I'm about to suffocate me." ”

"Yide Hugh has to say nonsense, the three armies are pulled, naturally there are rules, how can it be child's play. What's more, Gongsun Dudu is a cavalryman, and my three brothers are only 3,000 old and weak, how can they keep up? Over there, stationed on the horse and looking at the cavalry team in the distance, after Liu Bei opened his mouth to say a word, over there, Zhang Fei waved his spear with the horse's belly: "Follow Cao Sikong as a suspicious soldier, you can't even get a fight, then the little brother simply goes to the little brother Gongsun to have a good time, and then meets the elder brother in Xuzhou." ”

"Yide! Third brother! ”

Liu Bei's voice was a step slower, the black man holding the snake spear, had shaken the reins and took the thirteen horses, shouted, and galloped out, chasing Cao Cai in front, when he heard the sound, the tiger looked majestically ahead, and the horse's hooves ran faster.

"Can't hear ...... Don't hear ......"

A moment later, the figure was gone.

......

In Xu Du Cao's house, Ding knelt in front of the window, the sound of rain outside the window came in, she looked motionlessly at Su Bao lying quietly on several cases, her expression was wooden, for a long time, her white hand trembled and stretched out, grabbed Su Silk in her hand, and unfolded-

Word by word into sight, her lips trembled, then closed her eyes, after all, without making a sound, she folded the plain silk again, put it in her arms, and got up to pack her things up.

Leaving the mansion, he stepped into the carriage without nostalgia.

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

At the same time, on the other side of the eastward advance, ten thousand horsemen were ready to go, in the rain curtain of lead green, Gongsun stopped on the slope of the horse and looked eastward, there were water droplets dripping from his chin short beard, and the dense array below him was silent in the rain, like a black statue, and occasionally there was the sound of weapons colliding, and the atmosphere became solemn.

"The number of horsemen has gone to Xuzhou first, and handed over Zhang Yang's blood book to Lu Bu, and the favor is over...... The vacant position he vacated was temporarily held by Pan Feng. This army is divided into two routes, one bright and one dark, first break Yuan's technique, and then attack Xuzhou, we have only one purpose, to find Lu Bu, drag him, or kill him. ”

The silk thread connecting heaven and earth fell into the eyes of Gongsun Zhi, riding on the back of the shadow, he whispered, most of the generals around did not speak, Pan Feng carried a giant axe, and after holding the brand-new horn helmet on his head, he patted his chest: "Don't worry, this time, looking at Lao Pan's performance, I will definitely catch a Yuan general for you back, my wife often says......"

“.…… It is often said that you are blessed. Li Ke carried the mace and kicked the leg of the horse he sat down.

In the color of lead blue, Gongsun Zhi stroked the somewhat restless war horse, and in the distance, to the north, thousands of horsemen rushed through the rain curtain and galloped towards this side, he raised his hand, and when the two people who were fighting stopped, the torrent of five thousand horsemen rushed to the bottom of the hillside and the flank of the tens of thousands of cavalry phalanx over there slowed down.

"Stop—" shouted the galloping herald cavalry, waving a small flag.

In the field under the hillside, the falling rain curtain was scattered by the cavalry, and when they finally stopped neatly side by side, the monotonous sound of horses' hooves was still sounding, splashing the stagnant water on the ground, and in the misty sight, three figures rushed to the hillside on war horses.

The Law of Sighs –

The scarlet cloak was spread in the wind and rain, and the three sturdy figures in armor turned over and dismounted with the reins, and the armor leaves made a loud noise in the stride, and came to Gongsun Zhi, six arms raised, and the voice sounded majestically and majestically.

"Pure (惇) has seen the Governor"

Gongsun Zhi nodded, bowed his hand back, and looked at them in some surprise, Zhang Fei, who had a leopard head and eyes, and the latter was not ashamed, and stuck the snake spear on the ground, "Brother Gongsun...... There are rules in the army, let's call it the governor, my old Zhang just came to ask for some fighting, and followed Cao Sikong to be a suspicious soldier, Qu panicked...... Don't worry, when I get to your army, I will naturally listen to the military orders, and I won't be driven away, right? ”

On the hillside, Gongsun Zhi chin smiled: "Since General Zhang is interested in joining me, it would be great, but ......" He swept his gaze over the three people in front of him, and his tone sank: "....... But in our army, you need to listen to orders, you are not allowed to retreat without an order, and you are not allowed to attack without an order, the three of you are fine, right? ”

"No problem!"

Cao Chun and Zhang Fei bowed their hands, and Xiahoudun frowned for a moment, but still arched his hand and nodded.

After talking a few more words, the matter was settled, Zhang Fei raised his face and laughed and walked towards Dian Wei, who was standing on the guard, pinched the other party's arm, and patted it: "When I drank that day, I thought you were good, this time we killed more people than anyone else." ”

"I am the lord's guard, and I can't go over on the battlefield unless necessary." Dian Wei slapped his hand back, "I can't compare with you." ”

Everyone got acquainted with each other for a while, and passed for a while. Gongsun Zhi found Li Heizi: "The army is behind, the scouts must clean the road ahead, and Yuan Shu must not be aware of it." ”

"Yes!"

The leader of the scouts took the order, and soon after, he took hundreds of scouts first, and scattered in small groups of three or four horsemen along the way. Here, the generals who returned to the various formations also heard the sound of the wolf's throat soon.

Gongsun Zhimo rubbed his damp mane, looking at the neat and continuous cavalry array below, the long-term conquest made the handsome face rough, the tall figure shook off the robe, slowly raised his arms, the scimitar was drenched in the drizzle, and a pair of eyes under the thick eyebrows were cold and deep, sweeping over the thousands of people below.

"Command the whole army." He pulled the reins, the horse's head turned to the east, and the scimitar fell: "Go-"

Whew......

The wolf's throat blows.

……

In the afternoon of this day, the news of Xu Du's dispatch of troops was already on the way, and the fast horses with such urgent information were passed on one after another, turning over the foothills, crossing the rivers, crossing the dense forests of countless mountains and rivers, rushing to Xuzhou and Huainan, rushing to Dacheng, and falling into the hands of both parties.

Subsequently, the news exploded in both camps.

"Li Su, this waste...... Prepare your troops to meet the enemy! ”

When the dawn rose in the sky, the mighty and tall figure kicked down the long case, the lamppost fell to the ground, pushed away the military advisor who wanted to dissuade him, roared heavily, took the Fang Tian painting halberd on the shelf, strode out of the mansion, looking at the hazy sky, the sound and picture of the Jin Ge Iron Horse seemed to be rushing to the face.

……

In the other direction, in the rainy south, Yuan Shu twisted his beard, looking at the rain hanging on the eaves, and after a while, his gloomy face suddenly smiled, and he waved his hand: "Order, Ji Ling is the vanguard, Zhang Xun is the main general, Chen Lan and Lei Bo are the deputy generals, and the soldiers are sent to Peiguo, so that the eunuch will understand what to fight after that." ”

……

At the beginning of March, the court documents denouncing Lu Bu for occupying Xuzhou have been sent to the surrounding princes, demanding that all the counties and counties of Xuzhou be returned immediately, and the ribbon will be returned to Liu Bei, who was recommended by the original assassin Shi Taoqian, and let him give up all the soldiers and horses, and return to Xudu to accept His Majesty's punishment.

On March 20, two roads of people and horses passed through Wuping, Yuzhou, Chen Bingqiao County rested, and five days later the soldiers forced Peiguo. Xuzhou Lu Bu and Huainan Yuan Shu, a total of 80,000, are also pushed to the front line of Peiguo, which is about to ignite the beacon fire.

The smoke of war is almost imminent.

However......

On the twenty-fifth day of March, in Xiyang, the woodcutter in the mountain stood at the foot of the mountain, and saw a shocking scene at the foot of the mountain in the distance—a continuous army, in his field of vision, along Yingshui like a long black dragon, silently and hideously walked through here, realized a big detour, and pushed towards the rear army of Shansang Yuan Shu.
