On June 25 of the second year of Chuping, in late summer and early autumn, a rainstorm had just fallen in Ning County.

At this time, on the grassland twenty miles north of Ning County, in a felt tent belonging to the camp belonging to the Badun, many of his subordinates wordlessly went in and out to deliver news, stepping on the floor in a messy manner, making a clattering sound, leaving a mass of muddy footprints.

In the midst of the people coming and going, there are four staff members on the side sorting out the news, leaves and brocade silk fall silently from time to time, bamboo slips are opened with a bang, and occasionally thrown aside together with the wooden slips, and the sound is endless.

No one came in, and the man sitting in the first seat opened his eyes from his pretentious sleep and looked at the mess of the floor with a frown.

One of the staff members observed the words, hurriedly made his eyes look at it, asked his colleagues to deal with the news quietly, and went out to let the floor be cleaned.

When the staff returned, he saw that the scene of the soldiers mopping the floor was a little more pleasant, but he asked him to go outside to warn the group of leaders who were constantly noisy.

The staff hurriedly went out, but his face was bitter, who didn't know that those people who made a fuss were the leaders of several tribal commanders on the side of Shanggu, more than a month has passed, and they have so far shown their dissatisfaction with Pu Fu Lu and Pu Tou, among which there are many leaders who are friendly with Pu Fu Lu and Pu Tou, at this time, when Bang Dun needs to use Pu Fu Lu and Pu Tou, those people are even more arrogant, how can it be useful to dissuade such a small person as himself.

But after a moment, he suddenly looked at Badun's felt tent, and looked thoughtful, if he remembered correctly, this was the first time in recent times that Badun had asked people to stop those people, did this represent a signal?

He thought to himself, walked towards the noisy area in the camp after the rain, and in his eyes, he suddenly saw a group of people and horses entering the camp in the distance, looking at a big man who appeared with Ko Lou Dun, he raised his eyebrows, and then seemed to have made a decision, his face became firm, and he greeted a big marshal nearby, and after gathering more than a hundred people, he walked towards the noisy area over there.

When Coludun and the big man walked into the felt tent, he knocked on the desk with his knuckles and shouted to one of his staff, "Don't tell me about those useless things!" Liu Boan has fallen and may die at any time! You come and tell me, if I call over, who will become the master of Youzhou? Don't you understand this question? Don't say that again, it makes me feel that it's useless for you to live, do you want me to help you get rid of it? ”

Colloudun gave a salute, but the big man next to him sat down on the low stool beside him without hesitation, and asked, "What's wrong?" He waved his hand at the three staff, who immediately bowed away with relief.

He looked at the door curtain and said angrily: "Extremely confused! What did you say to directly disperse those Yellow Turban Army, and then lead people to attack Jixian County, and coerce the officials of Jixian County to hand over Liu Zheng, if they don't do it, we will besiege the city, take advantage of the chaos of the Han Dynasty, maybe we can also defeat the entire Youzhou. This is not nonsense! It's as simple as he said, why didn't Lord Qiu Liju fight in the past? ”

Probably feeling puzzled, he knocked on the table again, and said with annoyance: "In the past, I was still making suggestions, but when he talked about it, his face was excited, and he was simply ridiculing me for being a waste back then." ”

"The situation is different, it's hard to say that it can't be done."

The big man got up again when he was talking, picked up a bowl of wine in front of him and drank it all, saw Badun glaring at him, laughed, and then said in a deep voice: "Liu Bo'an fell ill suddenly, and now he is terminally ill, there is no will, even if there is, his son is not here, and now Youzhou should be in charge, it is completely the other thing that Liu Zheng and Zhizhong Zhao should call the shots, then Liu Zheng ......"

Seeing that Badun's face seemed to be a little uncertain, he smiled slightly, "That Liu Jikuang is a relative of the Han family, and he will come out, and he has a few percent to do with that Liu Zheng. ”

"Liu Zheng took advantage of the situation to sit big, and it is even more likely that he will control Youzhou with Lu Zigan, Liu Jikuang, Xun Wenruo and others...... Although according to the situation of him being rejected from the city, the possibility is extremely small, but he can finally have some strength, maybe it is the second Gongsun Zhan. However, if someone from the rest of the noble clan enters Youzhou, or the Han court will appoint a new Youzhou pastor, we still have some hope of getting this justice back......"

The big man put down the bowl, "It's just that there are still those Yellow Turban Army, these Diao people are many powerful, and they are a little powerful, and others will be afraid of them, and Gongsun Chan also disappeared suddenly, at this time, no matter how bold the person is, it is unlikely to come to Youzhou, so as not to cause a commotion." ”

After he finished speaking, he clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Lord Badun, can you be satisfied with those staff?" ”

"Satisfied, but if you kneel down and speak, I will be more satisfied."

At the end, he turned down coldly, and when he saw that he was stunned, he laughed.

"I thought you were so annoyed that you wanted to beat me up for this behavior."

He smiled, and listened to the sudden noise in the distance, as if he had thought of something, "This time I came all the way from the desert outside the Saiwai, but I am tired to death, if you want to stand up, you can wait for me to eat and drink enough to rest for a few days." Otherwise, it will be even more unpopular. ”

"I really didn't kill Nanlou! I've found a few people with dissent, but they still don't believe me. ”

Bunton waved his hand at Koloudun, motioning for him to go out and have a look, frowning, "In other words, these people are making trouble for me, and they want to help the three brothers, Puffou and Putou, swallow the upper valley. ”

He paused, and when he saw that his face did not change, his face soothed, "Well, I also know that you are almost there, so I want to wait for you to decide." I'll find a reason to make them feel uncomfortable, and you can help me win people's hearts. ”

"Then kill them all. What to keep for. ”

He said lightly, and sat down on the low stool again, "If you go on like this, you may have a mistake." ”

"Killing is more miss...... Forget it, you'll have to wait a few days before deciding. ”

Bun Dun shook his head, and the conversation changed, "How is it over there?" ”

"It's similar to what the letter says, Gongsun Du, the old fox, Su Li, and Mica are all watching. Lord Wuyan led people to spend it in Youbeiping. You can rest assured that he will do things, at least he will not let the army be confused, and he will not let his subordinates really pour out. It's just that a lot of people ask for war. Along the way, the situation is similar in several other counties. The Yellow Turban Army has always been a rabble, and everyone didn't pay attention to it, waiting for meritorious service one by one. ”

Hearing this, he nodded with satisfaction, Wu Yan is the lord of the right Beiping tribe, he has always been brave and strategic, and he is also an extremely safe person, with him there, he doesn't have to worry, but he suddenly said: "But all the way over, there have been several battles in Guangyang and Yuyang counties, and I always feel that there are masters over there." After repeated battles, losses are gradually increasing. It seems that there is also training over there. ”

"And the weapons of those people are slowly changing, they used to have scythes and hoes, and after a few days, many of them have changed to swords, guns, spears, and halberds...... However, it is still those people, really, who can't see any military formations, either elite, or after the fight, the people we are waiting for have died more every time than the last time. ”

In fact, the Yellow Turban Army is not a group of flat-headed people who have no martial arts, this is something that Badon has known for a long time, originally the other party changed the equipment, so that the losses on his side increased, if others said it, he would not pay too much attention, after all, any army has good and bad, compared to the general regular army, most of the people in the Yellow Turban Army may be worse than the recruits of the regular army, but it is not without elite.

But when he heard that the other party did not change the part, it was still that group of people, but it was obvious that he had let his own people die a lot, and he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, he knew that the number of deaths that could make the attention of the subordinates definitely not be dozens or hundreds, which meant that those people on the other side had improved quickly in repeated battles, which was not like a rabble.

Of course, it is not impossible to have another possibility, he thought for a moment, "Could it be that there are some people involved?" I remember that some people came from Qingzhou, and those people seemed to have been on the battlefield in the past, maybe they were a little rusty, but they slowly recovered this time? Or, did Liu Zheng also install someone in it? Equipment...... Didn't Liu Zheng go all the way a while ago and reveal his background in various cities? ”

"You say that he is just a businessman, but he has made some smuggling, is it possible that he has so many armaments? Thousands of people have changed their equipment? Or is it everywhere, did he steal the armory of the county soldiers? ”

This made it clear that the last sentence was the point, and his face tensed, "You mean...... Liu Jikuang planted the county soldiers in? Take us to train the army? ”

"I don't know...... That's what I'm worried about. But the participation of the county soldiers should not be revealed, they show their identities to see if we will let some people fight, so as to test our attitude, and try not to die, isn't it better for them? ”

He shook his head, "Unless Liu Jikuang must fight us...... But he lived in seclusion, and there was no sign of fighting, and the soldiers remained in their respective camps...... However, a month ago, I heard that on the Guangyang side, the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy casualties at the beginning and went to the camp to make trouble, and those county soldiers were also a little excited, but they were suppressed by the captain. In addition......"

His eyes narrowed slightly, "I've actually thought about it for a long time, and I think it's more likely that Gongsun Chan took people to hide in it." Those 3,000 people are all ...... who have fought with us and Xianbei."

Badun's face was cold, if those Yellow Turban Army passed through the guidance of Bai Ma Yicong, it was really possible to improve quickly in a few battles, especially Gongsun Chan was extremely hostile to them, this time they brought troops over, and if Gongsun Chan complied with his wishes.

It's just that this matter is not without problems, he thought about it, "Liu Bo'an is critically ill, Gongsun Chan wants to fight with Liu Bo'an, shouldn't he take advantage of this matter to show his reputation?" And he disappeared before, so it's hard to say whether we will go south later. ”

"Didn't you say that Liu Zheng had planned it a long time ago, maybe he said hello to Gongsun Zhan? As soon as Liu Zheng came up, he was probably preparing. And what about him incognito? As long as those Yellow Turbans knew. When the time comes, you can also spread your reputation. If he really helped the Yellow Turban Army defeat us this time, wouldn't it also demonstrate the combat effectiveness and reputation of the Yellow Turban Army, and in the end, those hundreds of thousands of people would be grateful to Dade, and he would ascend to the top and shout, but it is difficult to say that he will not submit to him. As for incognito......"

He grinned, as if he had a toothache, "I always think that it is impossible for Lu Zigan to really make Liu Bo'an critically ill...... Could it be, really pretending to be sick? Just to keep a good name. Thinking from the way of pretending to be sick, Lu Zigan has made a move, how can Gongsun Zhan, as a student disciple, disobey? So he could only help Liu Bo'an promote this matter incognito, so as not to spread the word that he was suppressed by Liu Bo'an. ”

Bun Dun looked surprised, "Lu Zigan...... But I heard that before I came, he was just following Liu Zheng's side, and he didn't show up much in front of Kebineng. ”

"Among the younger generations, Liu Zheng has some brave martial arts who have not yet obtained official positions, and this person has also had some credit in the past, so does Lu Zigan have the heart to help him gain fame? When people are old, they always have to pave the way for future generations. ”

He shook his head and said, "I mean, could it be Liu Zheng's side...... Lu Zigan has always been very kind to us before, and the Yan brothers also said that he was a good person. Could it be...... Xun's? ”

"It's also possible. Anyway, there are only a few people, it can't be Liu Zheng. He's not so godly, he's just a bit brave......" He hesitated for a moment and added, "It's a very brave kind." ”

He glared at him and smiled disappreciatively: "Lu Zigan has taught a few good students." In the past, Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei beat Zhang Chunqiu Liju to withdraw to Liaoxi, and Liu Zheng had the courage of Xiang Yu, advancing without retreating, and moving forward...... If these three join forces, we really can't match. ”

There was silence.

In the past, Gongsun Chan pressed them so much that they couldn't raise their heads, and that time Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun and Zhang Ju copied Youzhou, and Gongsun Chan was also the main battle, and then cooperated with Liu Bei to drive them to the Liaodong area.

He was quite important at the beginning of following Qiu Liju, several times with strategy, once almost trapped Gongsun Chan in Guanzi City, but Liu Bei is also a brave and resourceful person, in response, not only relieved Gongsun Zhan's siege, the two joined forces, but killed tens of thousands of them, there was no room for surrender, so that they almost became the vassals of Suli and Mijia Xianbei people, and finally Liu Yu came over, and they surrendered, so that they had room to breathe.

It was also that time that Gongsun Zhan, who had been hated by the clansmen in the past, made the clansmen want to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and Liu Bei also remembered it.

But Liu Bei later served as the Taishou of Zhuojun, and he couldn't reach it, but Gongsun Zhan was really strong, even if they held grudges, they didn't dare to provoke easily.

Speaking of which, as far as Yu Dun is concerned, Gongsun Chan does not have much strategy to use soldiers like a god, and his temperament is relatively proud, belonging to the type of rigidity and conceit, but his subordinates are loyal, equally skilled in bows and horses, and full of courage.

It is also ruthless in this regard, that is, the first time he had the upper hand with the strategy, and in the end, after all, the clansmen were frightened, and then the number of failures increased, and the clansmen even saw the iconic trilogy on behalf of Gongsun Chan, Bai Ma Yicong, and retreated, and Bandun was actually very helpless, while annoyed that the clansmen did not listen to the call, and on the other hand, they also envied Gongsun Chan's strict management of the army.

On the other hand, although he did not have deep contact with Liu Bei, many people also proposed to lurk Zhuojun to assassinate Liu Bei in the past, or retaliate, but Badun still felt that this person might be more difficult than Gongsun Zhan, so he also suppressed the matter.

After all, in a few battles, Liu Bei took the lead, and the image of strict and meticulous management of the army is also quite impressive, and Bun Dun occasionally feels that if Liu Bei is also stationed in Youbeiping with Gongsun Zhan, they may be in a more difficult situation now, first, they can't see through, Liu Bei is really moody, and he can't see what he likes, and secondly, this person is all-encompassing, and he can do nothing missing in all aspects of the battlefield.

And now there is more Liu Zheng......
