was praised by the third prince like this, and this Ren Qiu Shou made his bones lighter at that time, and he was even more attentive.

Guo Tu asked at this time: "The war is raging in the north, isn't there any movement in the surrounding area?" ”

The guard hurriedly smiled and said: "Although the war is raging in the north, I am separated by a Fanyang County here, far away from the battlefield, but there is no enemy, if you have to say that there is something interesting, that is, the people in the city have been coaxing in the past few days, and there are Yin soldiers crossing the border outside the city in the past few days, so that not many people outside the city have fled into the city." Looking at Guo Tu with a dark face, the guard immediately said: "But I have invited more than a dozen Taoist priests to prepare to go out of the city tomorrow to sweep away all ghosts and ghosts for Gongzi's march." ”

In any era, there is a saying that the Yin soldiers are crossing, in fact, this is an inexplicable natural phenomenon, especially in this chaotic era, where people are full of people and ghosts, Guo Tu thought about it carefully, and there is nothing wrong with it.

However, when Guo Tu was holding the wine glass, he still had a chill in his back for no reason, and out of instinct and caution, he still suggested to Yuan Shang: "Our vanguard should stay here for a day, wait for the follow-up baggage grain and grass to come, and then we will form a group and continue to move forward." ”

Yuan Shang, who was already drunk and dazed, was in high spirits and full of ambition at this time, where could he listen to Guo Tu's advice, so he said indifferently: "The literati are just cowardly, but a few Yin soldiers crossing the border, as for making you frightened everywhere?" Besides, the Yin soldiers are crossing the border, but it is night, we will march during the day tomorrow, even if there is that ghost and ghost, in broad daylight, there is already nothing to hide, not to mention that this son is full of murderous energy, and there are thousands of ghosts under my hands, am I still afraid of him? ”

Guo Tu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, with his flattering temperament, he still swallowed his advice back into his stomach, anyway, there is wine today and drunk today, and if there is no wine tomorrow, everyone will be drunk and dream of death, no matter what, as long as he makes his life moisturized, he will be on fire.

At dawn the next day, Yuan Shang lit up his own troops and horses, and in the blessing of the guarded general who was courteously sent off in the city gate, the army continued to move north.

After all, this is an important town, just out of the city, but there are many villages and towns along the way are also a little angry, but at this time it is already people to the house is empty, all the people have fled the military disaster, along the way there is silence, only a dozen Taoist priests in front of the army, knocking on the magic weapon flying paper money, chanting incantations to open the way, how to look like a funeral procession.

Ten miles from the city, the road became depressed, ruins and broken walls appeared on the roadside from time to time, and the corpses of the dead began to appear in the ditches, groups of wild dogs, staring at a pair of blood-red eyes, not afraid of this mighty army at all.

Yuan Shang rode a war horse and walked in the middle of the troops, and he was somewhat heartbroken about such a scene, no matter what, the prosperity of a place still depends on the people, and without the people ruling by themselves, who else will they be powerful?

So he secretly planned in his heart, preparing that after the end of this war, he would persuade his father to start recuperating the people's power and regain some vitality in his three and a half prefectures, so as to lay a good foundation for the future hegemony of the Central Plains.

As he was thinking, he felt a dull rumbling of thunder in the sky.

Yuan Shang couldn't help but be happy in his heart, the drought for many years had dried up the land and barren, and there was finally thunder, and it seemed that a good rain was coming.

But the feeling of the fierce is not right, because this is winter, there should be no thunder at all, look up at the sky, the sky is blue, there is not a trace of clouds at all.

Suddenly shocked: "Enemy attack, this is an enemy attack, the whole army immediately prepared for battle." ”

However, when he gave this order, it was already too late, and the entire army was originally arranged in a long long snake formation, which was ten miles long before and after, how could it gather into a group and form a formation in a hurry? What's more, on both sides of this team, there was already smoke and dust billowing up, and countless cavalry rushed out in the smoke and dust, and in the blink of an eye, they cut off their own team into countless small segments.

Those cavalrymen were like wolves and tigers, and their swords were bright, and in the blink of an eye, they smashed their own troops to pieces, blood splattered and heads rolled, and the panicked soldiers were tossing and wailing under the iron hooves of the enemy, just like the fallen leaves in autumn.

Yuan Shang already understood that he was attacked by the enemy, and he was already defeated, so without saying a word, he turned his horse's head and ran back.

Because Yuan Shang's dress is too different, golden helmets and golden armor, red tassels flying, in this ragged army, it is simply dazzling, of course, it has become the target of everyone, everyone knows the truth of capturing thieves and capturing kings, so this fierce general in silver helmet and silver armor directly rushed away all the infantry that stopped him from advancing and killed Yuan Shang.

Zhang Nan, who accompanied the Chinese army, saw that the enemy killed his son directly, and without saying a word, he slapped his horse and raised his gun to meet him directly, this was an opportunity to show his face and ask for credit, how could he easily let it go? Besides, Zhang Nan is also outstanding in the ranks of Yuan Shao's generals, and he has absolute confidence in his martial arts.

When the two horses met, they didn't talk nonsense and started fighting directly.

As a result, Zhang Nan just took a look at the other party, and was stabbed to death under the horse by the fierce general of the silver helmet and silver armor, and the fierce general continued to charge forward.

Yuan Shang didn't have his strength at all, but he relied on the shadow of his ancestors and fathers, and when he saw the other party coming like a dragon, he was already scared of the dead, he beat the war horse fiercely on the war horse, and ran to Ren Qiu desperately.

At this time, hundreds of families around him desperately faced this fierce general, although in front of this fierce general, there was no enemy, but after all, there were many people desperately entangled him, blocking his progress, and buying time for Yuan Shang's escape.

However, at this time, more than 20,000 Yuan Shao's troops, facing 20,000 cavalry, have become lambs to be slaughtered, and because they are all forcibly recruited soldiers, where is there still the mind of a war? Seeing that the main general had fled, the soldiers shouted and immediately fled into the surrounding wilderness, or simply surrendered on their knees.

Zhao Yun killed Yuan Shang's personal soldiers, and immediately made a decision, raising the silver spear into the sky: "Brothers, the 12345 brigade followed me to seize Renqiu, and the rest of the soldiers captured prisoners. "Military order, all the soldiers, follow their main general to launch an attack on Renqiu.

To say that the main general of Renqiu is really loyal, he sent away his young master, and still did not return to the city, just in the city gate hole, and continued to arrange for the follow-up people to chase after the army of the little master.

When he was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground, he suddenly heard a big chaos in front of him, and saw a group of people rushing towards Renqiu City surrounded by a guy, knocking over many heavy vehicles along the way, and trampling on countless people. At that time, he was stunned in the local area, but if he looked closely, it was not his young master Yuan Shang or who? However, at this time, the young master's golden helmet was also lost, his battle robe was torn, and his hair was extremely embarrassed.

The guard was shocked, and was about to step forward to ask the reason, Yuan Shang rushed directly into the city gate, and then yelled at him: "Close the city gate, close the city gate." ”

However, at this time, the city gate is no longer closed, countless heavy vehicles are blocked inside and outside the city gate, after this change, it is even more chaotic, how can the city gate be closed?

When the guard was jumping in surprise, there was already a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when he looked up, a blood-red banner was flying wildly, and a big Zhao character flashed on it.

Zhao? Who is it.

But the answer is in a blink of an eye, because a flag of recognition appears immediately - Youzhou.

"Youzhou Zhao Yun." The guard immediately understood, but before he understood, a silver spear had already penetrated his throat, and the white dragon horse jumped over the guard's corpse and rushed directly into the city gate.

Yuan Shang was just about to catch his breath when he entered the city, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and looked back, when the soul was flying, the invincible enemy general actually chased into the city, so without saying a word, he directly urged the horse to run.

The chaos of the original baggage carts and countless people in the market saved Yuan Shang, and Zhao Yun was stirred by the carriages and horses, which allowed Yuan Shang to escape from the city.

Zhao Yun saw that he couldn't catch up, so he gave up, so he ordered the brothers who had already entered the city to immediately divide into several teams to occupy Renqiu, and sent men and horses to collect the scattered and chaotic people's baggage, as well as the scattered Yuan Shang soldiers, and began to rectify and pacify the people of Renqiu.

Because Renqiu is deep in the interior and far away from the front line, there are not many soldiers and horses, and once the defender dies, the occupation will be very quick and easy, and a group of civilian officials will be obedient. After a period of panic, the local people saw that it was the people of Youzhou, not only no longer panicked, but cheered.

Youzhou's governance of civil affairs is the envy of everyone, compared to the Yuan family's father and son, who will only loot, it is a world of difference, and being ruled by Youzhou is simply a step from hell to heaven.

Zhao Yun stood on top of the Renqiu Hall in high spirits, very satisfied with his achievements, but then he became miserable, because the people began to work spontaneously, and asked when they would start contracting the ownerless land outside the city, and when they would start to work for relief.

Zhao Yun was completely stupid, because this time he was just to surprise Yuan Shang's reinforcements, and the occupation of Renqiu was just his own horse rushing in, and he didn't want to occupy it at all.

In fact, it can't be occupied, Renqiu is far away from the front-line battlefield, deep in the hinterland of Yizhou, and Youzhou is also separated by a Fan Yang, this is a lone army in depth, completely isolated from the enemy, once Yuan Shao reacts, the army is surrounded on all sides, then his 20,000 cavalry brothers will be completely caught in the enemy formation.

But at this time, seeing such enthusiastic and expectant people, Zhao Yun was a thin-skinned person, and at this time, he couldn't say that he would take a break and leave.

There was no way, good words appeased the people of Renqiu, and then sent a messenger to the front line of Benzhuo County in the starry night, and reported to the third brother that he had annihilated Yuan Shang's 50,000 reinforcements, captured countless prisoners, and the local people were eager to deal with it here, and asked the third brother to urgently dispatch civil officials to receive and govern Yunyun.
