The night was dark and cloudy.

Changan.

The night breeze blew through the city, swaying the lanterns on Situ's mansion, hundreds of armor soldiers stood quietly outside with torches, and soon after, a wide fat figure swayed out with the smell of wine, and the fair woman beside her stepped into the carriage parked at the door together, and the wheels then rolled out slowly, and several teams of soldiers followed behind with the light of the fire like a long dragon, heading back to the original road.

The car shook slightly, and a rough laugh sounded inside.

“…… Situ is really an old man's humerus, and even my heart is even sent a big surprise tonight, I am happy to get this beauty, hahaha-"

The upright belly, through the brocade silk, the soft and boneless fingers gently brushed over, the pretty face was leaning on the thick thighs, and the rosy lips were closed one by one, and the voice was coquettish: "Then the master should have something to say." ”

His eyes blinked, and he became cold.

Lu Bu...... If you don't look down on me, someone will look at me...... You don't regret it...... and Gongsun Zhi, that knife, Hongchang remembers...... When it is returned to you.

"Reward! Naturally, it should be rewarded, with a beauty like you, the old man can't sleep at night! Hahaha-"

Dong Zhuo's rough voice swayed with the ups and downs of the wheel, as for tonight's events, in front of the words of the world, it seems insignificant, but it is a vital link, in the other direction, there is another link that happens in the place where a few people are watching, and it is quietly changing.

Northern.

Since King Wuling of Zhao, and to the Qin and Han dynasties, and even several eras to come, the nomads and farming people on the grassland formed the trend of fire and water, after the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were weak, divided into north and south, and the Donghu that had been defeated by the Xiongnu split two divisions, Xianbei and Wuhuan, after getting rid of the control of the Xiongnu, Tanshihuai unified the Xianbei tribes, repeatedly swept the border to the south, killed and plundered the officials and people, Xiping six years, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty sent a three-way army, 10,000 cavalry on each road out of the fortress, and soon after, the army was defeated and returned.

To the light and four years, Tanshi Huai died, Xianbei was divided again, with the unexpected death of Budugen, Xianbei in the west appeared in an unprecedented state of chaos, the towns of the Central Plains in the early peace years chaotically fought for the city, and no one noticed much to the area north of the Qiushui, one day in May, the vast grassland, the hills between thousands of cavalry, foot soldiers spread near the county, the banner hunting extended for several miles.

After receiving the news of Budugen's death, the Xianbei Kebineng Department in the central part of the country finally came to take over the tribal herdsmen, as well as the pastures, and the soldiers and horses they brought faintly threatened the three cities of Ningxian, Macheng, and even Daijun.

However, Kebi Neng has always been sensible, and before he came, he informed the Han Dynasty of the reason for the incident, and he had no intention of attacking the city.

Huhuhuhu-

The wind blew hard, the night was deep, and the speckled fires burned in the camp, and a little farther away, the Xianbei herdsmen from the west who had come together were checked by the soldiers and then let go of the back camp that had been prepared long ago.

The big tent in the center of the camp, the fire is burning in the basin, and the middle-aged Kebineng is in the prime of life, so he did not rest early, in addition to a few commanders under his command and the marshal of various departments, there is also a thin and tall man standing in the middle, stared at by the generals who exude blood all around, and wants to accept that the western Xianbei has also resisted, that is, after killing someone, he came.

"Step Root...... It's stupid to be attacked and killed in your own tribe. Kebi can cut off a piece of meat with a knife, and looks at the man in the middle with a majestic gaze: "...... Gongsun Zhi is the son of Gongsun Zhan, is this news reliable? ”

The man nodded: "Reply to the order, the news is correct, the other party is less than a thousand, but listening to the soldiers who were attacked that night, there was also a wolf disaster, which attracted most of the soldiers to the east, so that this person made a successful sneak attack." ”

After the other party finished speaking, Ke Bineng frowned and stopped the knife in his hand to cut meat, "Gongsun Zhan's reputation is usable, this person is also a ruthless person, so ......" The knife nodded at the person in the middle: "You go to surrender, success is good, don't know how to erase him." ”

After the people left, there was a whisper in the tent, and a commander stood up: "Shan Yu, since he is the son of Gongsun Zhan, he will not come down, not to mention that we have also fought with Gongsun Zhan, and we have enmity with each other." ”

"Don't worry about it." The chewing figure in front of him wiped the grease on the blade, and his voice sank: "...... If you don't surrender, you will die, and lead the troops to quietly surround the place first. ”

Bang.

Sharp knives were inserted into several cases.

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

White Wolf Plain.

In the deep grassland night, there is a fire in the field of vision from among the hills, and occasionally the wind blows from there and whimpers, mixed with the lively and cheerful sound of someone.

Since May after the March killing, although the food problem for the winter is the top priority, but for the chaotic Xianbei herdsmen, the wolf riding in the White Wolf Plains under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Zhi is like a hunting harvest season, in two months, plundering as many as 100 times, cattle, sheep and horses are the main targets, the harvest is quite abundant, and the current problem of not having enough to eat can be dealt with for the time being

On the other hand, Gao Sheng brought hundreds of cattle and sheep, as well as war horses to and from the Montenegrin army three times, of which the number of war horses was nearly 2,000, which was a huge amount for the Central Plains, in exchange for things, millet and wheat only accounted for a small part of it, weapons and hooves accounted for a huge proportion, and the armor and horse armor created by the blacksmiths in the mountains of the Montenegrin army in two months were only two hundred pairs, which was already their biggest limit.

At present, the White Wolf Yuan relies on plundering the scattered Xianbei and Xiongnu around to achieve supply, which largely makes the limited number of wolf riders extremely heavy on their shoulders, Gongsun Zhi understands this truth, Dongfang Sheng understands this truth, and even Cao Chun, who has just joined in, has insight into the biggest drawback of White Wolf Yuan.

However, in this erosive situation, we can only maintain our vitality and sail against the current.

……

Passing through the hills and forests, the noise grows louder and louder, and the fire illuminates the night sky.

A severed tree pole burned a huge pillar of fire, and the spark bounced up and rose into the night sky along the heat stream, surrounding the pillar of fire, more than a dozen fat sheep strung on the wooden frame dripping with tempting grease, the blade quickly cut a few pieces of tender meat suitable for the teeth, divided into plates, and trotted up with the wooden plate.

On the hillside in front of the wolf's den, a spacious place was leveled out, a simple long table was set up, and more than a dozen figures gathered to drink wine and eat meat, and the sound of laughter was quite loud.

"I will be promoted to the Great Chief—"

The shouting man stumbled up with the clay bowl on his bare shoulders, his face was flushed, he thought that he had drunk a lot, he held the wine bowl and shouted: "...... It's not nice to say, but I think it's so fucking happy to follow the leader!! ”

The voice fell, his head tilted, the wine spilled a lot down the corners of his mouth, and the bottom of the bowl raised to everyone: "Who's next?" ”

"Me!" The burly figure stood up, stepped on the stake with one foot, stared around with red eyes, and then held up the pottery bowl and toasted to the figure draped at the end of the long table, and then sat down again, slapped the table and got up, and shouted, "Say a few words!" ”

Hua Xiong glanced at him, "That's it." ”

"You fucking shit!" Gao Sheng thought about it for a while, and the other party really said the word 'I'.

When he was about to scold, a figure stood up from next to Gongsun Zhi, held the pottery bowl, and looked at the surrounding figures, with a smile floating on the corner of his mouth: "Zhao Ji also salute a bowl to the leaders." ”

"Madame......" Everyone was a little surprised, and then someone waved his hand and shouted: "Madame, you can't get used to drinking spirits......" Gao Sheng glanced at Gongsun Zhi, who was also a little stunned, but the woman held the wine bowl and looked down, the man who also looked at it, and then saluted everyone quite boldly: "Zhaoji has also been in the White Wolf for a long time, you can drink it, I will naturally drink it." ”

The woman laughed, and when she raised her head and took a sip, her eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, but she still drank it all in a big gulp, coughing a few times spicy, and after a while, she raised the bottom of the bowl to everyone, and suddenly Gao Sheng, Hua Xiong and others clapped loudly.

"Madam, this is from a talented woman to a heroine." Cao Chun was no longer as well-dressed as before, his hair was split, he laughed bare-chested, and also picked up the wine: "Chun also respects Mrs. with a bowl." ”

Jian Shuo poured the wine, some reddened delicate little hands wanted to serve the wine, Gongsun Zhi stretched out his hand to hold it down, Cai Yan, whose face was flushed, took his hand away, picked it up and went over to Cao Chunjing: "Please-"

Another sip of it.

"Madame Jing!" Over there, Hua Xiong also got up and picked up the pottery bowl.

In a hurry, the wine was poured out of the altar, Cai Yan picked it up again, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, this time the wine stains spilled out, and his cheeks were even redder.

At this time, everyone present saw that this originally weak girl was a little different, that is, they all stood up, raised the wine bowl, and their voices were high-pitched.

"Mrs. Gao Shengjing!"

"Mrs. Hua Xiongjing!"

"Mrs. Cao Chunjing!"

"Lee... Mrs. Li Kejing! ”

This time, they all raised their heads and drank first, probably because they had a different perspective on this girl from the knees of Da Confucian, rather than the captive lady of the village.

……

The wolf howl sounded far away in the grassland, the night wind was cold, the firelight and the human voice gradually weakened, Gongsun Zhi carried the confused girl back to the stone room, put it on the stone bed, covered the blanket, looked at the red pretty face, and reached out to pinch it.

"I can't drink, what can I ...... to"

In a daze, the girl seemed to hear the words, moved, and her delicate crimson hand suddenly stretched out to hold the man's hand, and murmured: "It's so hard to see you...... Gongsun ...... I... Want to help you... Want to keep up with you......"

"Silly girl!"

Gongsun Zhi held her hand and smiled, and the murmuring was probably the only warmth he had heard in the past few days.
