As August and autumn passed, and the summer heat had not yet withdrawn, the caravans carrying furs, muscles and horses drove to and from the official roads throughout the northern border of Shanggu County, carrying furs, muscles and bones, and driving horses.

The news of Yuan Shao's defeat in Jizhou is still fermenting here, for the people, merchants, soldiers and other people in the middle and lower structures of Shanggu County and even other counties in the north, the heat after the autumn cannot hide the joy of the news.

After the news came, a group of merchants who were originally close to the Wolf King of the Northland finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were full of joy all day long, as for the conflict with the family in trade, it was already not worth mentioning at the moment, after all, the good days in the future were much longer.

On the other hand, in such an atmosphere, the Zhenbei General's Mansion and the Shanggu County Mansion have been secretly promoting the formation of a merchant news network, and under such a warm atmosphere, the caravan returning from the grassland sent fast horses to return to Zhishu Fuyang first.

"Madam, news has come from the north, several Xianbei cavalry have lost contact, I am afraid that the overseer who serves in it has suffered miserably."

In the last hiss of the autumn cicadas, Wang Lie, who was on the left side of the parallel, raised his head and saw the birds falling on the branches stretched out to the middle of the road, after his voice fell, Bing Yuan on the other side nodded, "The old man has been in Xianbei for several years, he is familiar with his temperament, ordinary herdsmen will never return, most of the new generation of Xianbei people can speak Chinese, like my Han clothes, and even in winter, it is difficult to freeze and starve to death, they are also used to exchanging sheep and glutinous sheep with my Han, and then they will use swords and soldiers to snatch them, Unless there is a greater good than the present one. ”

"That's what Bing Juncheng said." Wang Lie grinned, "The lord probably also referred to the method of Liu Youzhou and Xianbei and Wuhuan in the past, but in the end, it was the lord who bolted Xianbei to death, and relied on the two words to drench leeks. ”

Behind the two of them, the woman surrounded by the maids had her hair pulled up in a high bun, dressed in a black dress, and listened to them with a smile on the corner of her ruddy mouth.

“.. So, do you want to lead your troops south, or do you go somewhere else? The soldiers under the command of my husband have never died in vain. ”

After the other party finished speaking, Cai Yan slowly interjected, she handed over the back of her hand to her lower abdomen, looked at the two county officials who came back, her eyes narrowed, and the corners of her mouth smiled: "Since they are wearing Han clothes, they should do my Han family etiquette, if they say rebellion, they will betray, if they are not severely punished, won't they let the latecomers be lucky?!" ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"According to the Xianbei soldiers and horses who have lost contact, they can't put together 10,000 horses, and they have no power to attack the city, and the concubine thinks that the slave should go to the revenge water and rescue his Xianbei 80,000 herdsmen, so kill him there."

A blooming flower broke in her hand, the petals fell one by one, the delicate embroidered shoes stepped on the petals on the ground, and in the brilliant skylight, I heard Cai Yan's voice whispering: "Send a letter to Qu Bei Danyu, he seems to have a cavalry stationed nearby, let him entangle the lock slaves, and then make a decision after my husband returns to the city." ”

Although the woman who spoke was not the person in charge, her words had some weight in this city after all, and Bing Yuan and Wang Lie originally had such a plan, so they naturally agreed.

Soon, a team of fast horses with letters galloped out of the city in the direction of Macheng.

At the same time, on the grasslands of western Liaoning, which were more than 400 miles away from the Qiu River, the smoke and dust rolled up by tens of thousands of cavalry covered the sky and went down to the south.

"Speed up your horse, and before it gets dark, get to the next tribe to rest!" Xianbei shouted in the ranks.

"Hohoo!"

In the mighty procession, there were also many fierce and sharp voices in response, occasionally passing by the waterside grazing tribes, seeing someone looking at them, the knight on horseback waved his blade and pointed at the other party, and said in Xianbei: "Go back!" ”

Frightened, a Xianbei woman hurriedly picked up her child, turned around and went into the tent, the man realized something, and whispered in Chinese to the Han scholar who was about to come out: "Go in, don't come out." ”

Soon, the cavalry team spread out all over the mountains and fields in the field of vision just passed, disappeared in the distance, it was almost noon at this time, the sky was hot, Suo Nu took this 10,000 cavalry from the central grassland overnight, and stopped and stopped more than 200 miles of road, probably wanting to imitate Gongsun Zhi's lightning and quick attack tactics, directly take down the revenge water, and transfer the herdsmen.

"Let the people behind stop, rest in place, and feed the horses water."

After giving the order, the slave turned over and dismounted, patted the horse's buttocks, and let it gnaw the grass by itself, then threw the horsewhip to the ground and sat down on a stone, "A hundred miles further down is the tribe of the Ding Ling people, when this group of people was captured, Gongsun Zhi threw them next to my Xianbei, wanting to strangle me"

The wild wolf mud urged the horse to stop here, jumped off the horse's back, handed the water bag to the other party, and then spat on the ground rudely: "Shan Yu, then let's just kill Ding Lingren again and then go over, it's not cool to look at those Ding Lingren in the ice and snow in the north." ”

"Don't waste time." The lock slave returned the water bag to him, got up and waved his hand heroically: "If you change to Gongsun Zhi to fight this journey, he will never hesitate on personal preferences, my prairie boy is never afraid of bloodshed, let alone do such unwise things!" ”

All the way south, although it imitated Gongsun Zhi's quick attack, how could the movement of the 10,000-man cavalry be small? At present, on the grassland of western Liaoning, several years of stability, small tribes are numerous, and the startling movements along the way have naturally caused a considerable scale, but they are too far apart, even if someone wants to report the news, it is difficult to catch up with the other party for a while.

Just when Suo Nu and Hu Dai Wild Wolf Ni led 10,000 Xianbei cavalry to launch a long-distance raid on Yunqiushui, the army far away in Changping, Youzhou had already entered Juyong Pass, Gongsun Zhi met with the guard general Shan Jing, had lunch together, and said some words to appease the other party, before continuing to embark on the return journey.

There is occasionally a cool breeze blowing in the foothills, and from time to time there are birdsong and cicada chirping intertwined in the mountains or brisk, or low, Gongsun stopped shouting the iron helmet to let the warm sweat on his forehead invade this cool breeze, and in the field of vision, the leaves of the trees were slightly yellow.

"When I left, it was still spring, and now it's autumn again."

Not far away, the fiery red rabbit horse slowly approached, and the man with the beast-faced chain armor also looked at the green of the mountain and smiled: "The autumn colors of Shanggu County are very beautiful, but fortunately, I can catch up with this scenery." ”

Lu Bu tilted his head slightly, and his words paused, "By the way, there was news from the rear just now, and there was an army hanging behind, it seemed to be Wen Chou." ”

"Wen Chou?" Retracting his gaze from the figure of the army winding along the official road, Gongsun Zhi frowned, and summoned a herald: "Send a horse over to ask, what does Wen Chou, one of the four court pillars in Hebei, want to do when he comes to me." ”

Lu Bu looked at the fast horse and left, and laughed: "A certain family thinks that he is here to vote for the governor of Gongsun, and his ugly back name is confirmed, how can Yuan Shao's three sons keep him?" The smile then faded, and his gaze turned to the mountains: "Just like I was at the beginning." ”

"Will Wen Hou hate me for killing Sima Yi?"

"What do you hold a grudge? Can I still kill you? Cheng Xueyong and Pifu are two different things, after all these years, haven't I Lu Bu grown up? ”

Lu Bu retracted his gaze and stroked Chitu's mane, "Right now, being a pure general and fighting a pure battle is the most rare." ”

After the battle of Xuzhou, this in the Central Plains, laid a great name for the tiger, in Shanggu County for many years, although the peak has not passed, but how much for the past some blows to see a lot of things that have not been seen clearly, read the book of war also has several volumes, maybe after the peak, Gongsun Zhi can see a handsome Lu Bu who is at ease in command, rather than a fierce general who charges into battle.

“.. And you, Gongsun, when I met you in the past, I remember you as a wild and fierce wolf, as if the whole world was your hunt. Lu Bu turned his head to look at him, "And now they are becoming more and more like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and they have become hypocritical!" ”

In the distance, a scout figure passed by the team and ran towards it.

Xinshang, Gongsun looked at the knight who came from afar, and his tone was flat and slow, "What if you don't change?" The team is getting bigger and bigger, there will be wars in this world at any time, the water chestnuts of the past will eventually be smoothed out, and the four stupid ones can't feed so many mouths, since those brothers can't change, I can only make changes. That's the difference between me and Wen Hou. ”

"I can't talk about you."

Lu Bu was about to leave with the halberd, and the scouts below had already come over here, and the figure quickly jumped off the horse and bowed over: "Lord Qiqi, there is an urgent letter from Shanggu County." ”

The giant man standing next to him stepped forward to take the silk from the scout's hand, and handed it to Gongsun Zhi on horseback, who was riding down the slope to leave, and when he turned around, he frowned when he saw Gongsun Zhi, and then stopped his horse: "What's the matter?" ”

"This lock slave!"

Gongsun Zhi roared suddenly, waved his hand violently, and the plain silk was thrown to the ground, "I only beat him at the end of the year before last, but now it's the opposite." Around, Dian Wei, Li Ke and other generals looked over, and shouted in their voices: "Lord, what are you waiting for, the brothers can still fight, and a group of Xianbei monkeys can still go to the sky." ”

"It seems that you are pushing others into a hurry." Lu Bu also said.

On the back of the shadow, Gongsun Zhi straightened up, his face was a little unsightly, he stared at the information that was thrown down by himself, "... The lock slave took the opportunity to make trouble at this time, and saw that no matter whether I win or not, he would be greatly injured, and the road was far away, enough for him to have time to remove the Xianbei hostages of the Xianbei royal court, and the lightning attack he learned from me wanted to take the revenge water directly."

The scimitar was slowly pulled out of its sheath, and the voice was low: ".. Over the years, it seems that the Xianbei people have lived too comfortably, and they almost forget that my Gongsun Zhi's knife has cut off the heads of tens of thousands of Xianbei people, and the order-"

"Why don't you let me go."

Lu Bu's voice interrupted abruptly, and he raised his halberd on the slope and stationed his horse: "From Wuyuan to enter the state and the Central Plains, think about it, I haven't killed Hu people for many years, and they probably forgot how I Lu Bu got the name of flying general, that is to kill them, kill them!" ”

"Wen Hou in the past, I am naturally relieved, but this time Xianbei has more than 10,000 rides."

"Hahaha-" The tip of the halberd shook, the fiery red war horse, the mighty figure pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and laughed loudly, and the next second, the words spread heroically: "Gongsun, I have already said it just now. How can a man cower when he is alive, when he chases the fiercest prey, and slays the most powerful enemy! ”

As soon as the cloak was unfurled, the horse's hooves galloped downward, "Although thousands of troops and horses are in front, why should I, Lu Bu, be afraid-"
