The red and burning bonfire, swaying in the darkness with the evening breeze of dawn, reflected the patrolling faces, walking bodies, and silhouettes of the night soldiers, far and near, the whispered conversations of the people around them, and the occasional hometown song was full of noise and noise in the silent night. Stretching along the line of vision, it was just a makeshift barracks that stretched for miles and were lit with speckled fires.

Originally, he would not be stationed in Gecheng today, but Yuan Shao unexpectedly received a son he hadn't seen for a year, and made an exception to camp first, and the Chinese army's big tent sounded a continuous dialogue.

“…… Xi'er told me, how did you come back from Gongsun Zhi's hands, you want to escape by yourself, and your father won't believe it. ”

Yuan Xi hesitated: "The child was let go by him...... Halfway through, Gongsun stopped the envoy and killed General Gao's lieutenant general, the child...... The child was escorted to escape from the chaos. ”

"Hahaha......"

There was laughter from above, Yuan Shao patted the long case, as if he had already seen through what his son was thinking, and nodded: "You didn't panic at your father because of shame, it's very good, you go down to rest, and go back to Yecheng with Zhang He early tomorrow morning." ”

"Father...... Why don't you go back together? ”

Next to him, Feng Ji arched his hand and smiled: "Prince Xi, since the white wolf has come out, this is the best time to annihilate the father and son of Gongsun in one fell swoop, the lord is naturally focused on the overall situation, and on the side of Yecheng, as long as the city is not broken, it will have to be fought." ”

"I see, the boy went down first." The thin boy finally lost his timidity, returned to a polite posture, bowed to his father, and slowly withdrew from the tent.

The curtain shook slightly, and after the people left, Guo Tu and Feng Ji glanced at each other, and then got up and arched their hands: "I implore the lord to immediately counterattack Yi Jing, and the father and son of the grandson will definitely be captured!" ”

Yuan Shao looked at the two of them, stroked his beard and slowly spoke: "It is indeed a good opportunity, although Gao Ran doesn't know how long it can last, but the white wolf will always appear, and no matter how difficult Yi Jing is, he must be in the city." ”

He said: "Tell the whole army, immediately pull out the camp and go north, and kill them by surprise." ”

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

Yi Jing, the banner floating in the wind is broken and tattered, since the fierce siege of the city, the soldiers on the city wall have been patrolling worriedly, and they have no bottom in their hearts about what the situation they will face in the future.

The experience of being trapped on all sides caused a huge pressure in their hearts.

Zhao Yun patrolled the city with a gun and a sword, and met with another general, Zou Dan, after the two of them saluted, they blew the cold wind of the early morning and walked side by side, chatting some words to relieve their troubles, for a general like them, there was no information transmitted from the inside, and their hearts were naturally very anxious.

“…… The lord has fought outside the Saiwai in his life, and has won countless victories, and you and I know both of his temperament, but now that he has lost and his brother has died tragically, his heart must be dark and bitter......"

"But if you don't cheer up, Yuan Shao's whole army will come again in the spring of next year, how can you hold it with the remaining remnants alone?" Zhao Yun smashed his fist on the wall, and his words made Zou Dan next to him unable to continue.

Fortunately, he didn't need to pick it up, and at the end of the field of vision, a black line appeared far away from the west side of Yijing.

Zou Dan simply murmured: "Whose is this...... Horses and Soldiers ......"

After a while, the sound of horses' hooves shook the earth like thunder, Zhao Yun looked forward, and a section of the city wall near that side burst into cheers, countless figures ran over the city, he dragged the gun tightly, beckoning the soldiers to return to their defensive positions, and after a while, someone's voice shouted loudly: "It's the reinforcements coming——"

"It's the eldest prince's reinforcements that have arrived!"

"The cavalry of the eldest prince, there are thousands of foot soldiers behind him, come on, quickly open the city gate to welcome the eldest prince's soldiers and horses into the city-"

The exciting news spread to the city wall in a blink of an eye, and the soldiers who ran excitedly passed the good news to the city gate, and the streets and alleys also spread soon after, and the army that was originally trapped in the lonely city raised the city and shouted boiling, and many people walked out of their homes to the streets, looking at the soldiers who galloped by, and could not help but be infected by the joy of the other party, and they stretched out their heads and tiptoed to look in the direction of the city gate, wanting to see what the army looked like.

A large amount of news flew all over the city, the soldiers who reported the good news stumbled into the palace, Gongsun Yue was annoyed by his brother's affairs, and suddenly heard that his nephew was coming with reinforcements, but he was startled, and then he rushed to the backyard in surprise, and when he hit people head-on, he was also thrown away, and went straight to tell Gongsun Chan of the good news.

"Brother—"

He stepped into the hall, his face could not hide his joy, and he strode towards the drunken figure over there: "Brother! Reinforcements are coming, we can go back to Youzhou now, brother, you can drink later, then you can have a good drink with your nephew, put down the wine jug, and we will greet it together. ”

Reaching over to fight for the wine jug, the shaking figure was swept away, and Gongsun Zhan looked at him with slightly red eyes: "Everyone is happy now...... You don't need to rush you every day...... I...... I'm going to calm the hearts of the army......" He stammered halfway through, burst out laughing, covered his face and continued to laugh, "My son didn't disappoint everyone...... Just go...... Go meet him, I'll be there later...... lest he run away in anger...... Learn from me, leave you alone......"

"Brother, what are you talking about, you are the lord of all, no matter how old your nephew is, he is not as big as you as a father." Gongsun Yue said a word, heard the bustle outside the door, and arched his hand: "That brother will go outside to greet his nephew first, brother wash his face quickly, don't let his nephew see jokes." ”

After speaking, he straightened his robe and walked briskly outside. On the long case, the smiling drunken face converged, staggered up, glanced at the door outside, took the sword hanging on the column head, and walked towards the wing room in the backyard, time seemed to slow down around him, and the guards and soldiers around him ran over with cheers, and rushed out of the yard to meet the joy.

The figure stumbled through the corridor, walked under the eaves, and finally stood in front of the door of a room, Gongsun Chan raised his arm tremblingly, drew his sword and slashed down, the copper lock on it fell to the ground, pushed the door open, the light outside drove away the darkness in the room, and a woman who shrank in the corner raised her eyes in surprise, and walked quickly towards this side with a smile on her haggard face.

"Husband, the concubine knew that you would come to pick up ......"

The voice stopped, and the woman's smile stopped...... Syllable...... Syllable...... There was a sound of liquid dripping on the ground, the tip of the sword penetrated out from behind, Liu Shi touched it tremblingly, it was a dazzling red, and she looked at her husband in front of her with a smile on her face.

“…… Husband ......" murmured softly, and the figure fell backwards.

Before the corpse touched the ground, he was picked up by Gongsun Zhan, put on the bed, looked at the faded woman, looked at it silently for a while, and then got up and put on the armor that had accompanied him for half his life, and walked out majestically.

………

Gongsun stopped entering the city, in addition to the 1,000 cavalry who imprisoned the Jizhou soldiers stationed in the city, the rest followed him into the city gate, walked on the street with iron hooves, countless eyes looked at him, for this person, almost all have heard of it, starting from a hundred horse thieves on the grassland, all the way to the status of a county Taishou, its fierce reputation is not only the grassland is terrifying, Youyan area, Liu Yu's old department rendering, is also notorious.

However, the other party's iron horse entered the city, and every time he stepped out, many people's hearts were beating wildly, after all, this person was notorious, and he couldn't say that he was crazy and killed.

"This is my nephew's cavalry? It's really ......" Gongsun Yue had already welcomed out of the mansion, and he saw the iron knight from a distance, and he felt a little emotional, "When the horse thief started and I went to send troops to him, I knew that my Gongsun family finally had a more remarkable character. ”

“…… However, I heard that the Grand Prince's cavalry was not one. Guan Jing, the chief officer next to him, spoke: "It's an archer who is good at long-distance running, and this one shouldn't be elite at the moment." ”

Gongsun Yue's eyes lit up, and he smashed his fist into the palm of his hand.

"Now it's developed—"

Soon, the cavalry stopped, Gongsun stopped dismounting, and under the guard of dozens of personal soldiers of Dian Wei and Li Ke, the dragon leaped over.
