Trekking all the way through the mountains and rivers, Yan Zhanshu and Liu Yu and others arrived at Jicheng, looking at the tall city wall and the endless horse team below, Liao Hua was surprised: "I thought that Biansai was very bitter cold, but I didn't expect this Jicheng to be so prosperous." ”

"The bitter cold refers to the side plug, not the Jicheng of this secluded state! The city here is high and deep, and there are white horses to guard, not to mention, it is extremely safe, it is close to the side plug, the market price of war horses and furs is obviously much lower than that of the Central Plains, and there are some unique natural treasures in foreign areas, these are extremely profitable transactions, which naturally attract a large number of traders to come here, and there are people, and the city is naturally prosperous. Yan Zhanshu said with a smile, these truths can be understood after a slight analysis.

"Huh? It seems that Zhanshu is not only a martial artist, but also a very insightful way of governance. Liu Yu was a little surprised, he talked with Yan Zhanshu a lot along the way, and he knew a little bit about this son's temperament, and after making friends, the relationship between the two was naturally very harmonious.

"There is a specialization in the way of art, and I only know a little bit about this way of governance, compared to the gentlemen around the adults, it is a world of difference." Yan Zhanshu said humbly, and patted Tian Chou and the others by the way-you must know that soon he will go to guard Shanhaiguan, and the logistics and supplies are in the hands of these people around Liu Yu, as the saying goes: the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult to be, Yan Zhanshu does not want to become the second Sun Jian, so he must befriend him.

On the left is the civil official, headed by a middle-aged scribe, and on the right is a mighty general with a silver helmet and white cherry blossom with a group of grim looks, seeing Liu Yu and others riding over, they all bowed their heads and said: "The right general Gongsun Zan and the Jicheng County Shouwei Yu led the civil and military officials of Youzhou to see the envoy!" ”

"Everyone, please be polite," Liu Yu got off the horse very kindly and met many civil and military officials one by one, leaving a good impression on both sides. Especially for Gongsun Zhan, he grabbed his hands and praised loudly: "The name of General Baima, the saint is often heard in the capital, and he has made great contributions to guarding the border for the country!" ”

"This is what the last general should do!" Gongsun Zhan reluctantly humbled a sentence, and then Huo Ran raised his head and said, "This one beside the envoy is the head of the thieves in the battle - Yan Zheng?!" The killing intent rushed towards Yan Zhanshu unabashedly.

"Yes, I am!" Yan Zhanshu met Gongsun Zhan's killing intent without flinching, his body did not move at all, and his eyes were even colder.

"Sure enough, he is a hero and a young man, and he lives up to his name!" In front of Liu Yu, Gongsun Zhan's expression was relieved, he laughed, walked quickly to Yan Zhanshu's side, glanced at Yan Zhanshu deeply, and said in a low voice: "The revenge of killing my brother, I don't dare or hope!" ”

Looking at the back of Gongsun Zhan turning to leave, Yan Zhanshu knew that his situation was not much better than when he was in Jizhou. "General, do you want to-" Yan Liang leaned over, raised his hand and asked.

"Today is a good day for Lord Jun, let him go for the time being, there will be opportunities in the future, go! We went into town. "Gongsun Chan wants to kill Yan Zhanshu, and Yan Zhanshu doesn't want to kill Gongsun Zhan, but as a Hanchen, there are some things that must be complied with, otherwise he will become the target of public criticism!

Seeing the tension between Gongsun Zhan and Yan Zhanshu, Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was a little more sure of completely mastering Yan Zhanshu's army soul army. turned around and whispered to Tian Chou: "Zitai, add more troops to Zhanshu in the back, if his troops are too small, he won't be able to stop the barbarian attack!" ”

Hearing this, Tian Chou looked at Liu Yu and nodded knowingly, and said in a low voice: "Chou, take the order." ”

After a reception banquet, Gongsun Zhan returned to Youbeiping and continued to guard Juyong Pass and Bauhinia Pass. Looking coldly in the direction of Shanhaiguan, "As long as the barbarians break through the barrier, the crime of defeat and loss of land is enough for you to recover!" Gongsun Zhan asked Wang Zhuo: "The news that there are only hundreds of soldiers and horses guarding Shanhaiguan has spread to the barbarians?" ”

"It's been passed on." Wang Fu was a little unbearable: "General, if you do this, won't you be unlucky to close the remaining soldiers and horses?" ”

"Defend the border for the country, and die is still honorable!" Gongsun Zhan said without hesitation: "Since they are disabled, the court can still have a bereavement pension for those who died on the battlefield, which is far better than a lifetime of disability!" ”

"That's what the general said!" Wang Fu thought that this was indeed the truth, and he was sincerely convinced.

With the replenishment of 3,000 soldiers and horses, he came to Shanhaiguan, looking at the hundreds of remnants of the sparse soldiers on the gate, Yan Zhanshu did not laugh angrily: "Hahaha!" Gongsun Zhan, your instrument is nothing more than that, I think highly of you! ”

"General, with only this little bit of soldiers and horses, how can we defend the barbarian border?!" Seeing this little bit of people, Zhao Yun also scratched his head.

"Shou? Why do we have to keep it?! Yan Zhanshu smiled wryly: "We are wolves in the camp, not turtles!" ”

"Our general is here to guard the Shanhaiguan, which of you is the leader, come and report the situation!" Liao Hua stepped forward and shouted at the hundreds of remnants of the guard.

Hundreds of remnants of the soldiers were in a commotion, and a small colonel stood up, his armor was full of dents, and a long scar was split on his face, looking very cold! The knife in the left hand is broken, and the right hand is broken at the elbow!

"Captain Xu Rong has seen General Po Yu!" The sonorous and powerful voice lifted Yan Zhanshu's spirits, this is Xu Rong! Xu Rong, who once defeated Cao Cao! However, isn't he Dong Zhuo's subordinate, why is he here?

"Xu Fenwei, are you a local? How long have you been here? Yan Zhanshu asked.

"The last general is from Liaodong, and he has been guarding Shanhaiguan for fifteen years!" Xu Rong's voice replied lukewarmly.

"In that case, you must be very familiar with the situation here?" Yan Zhanshu's eyes lit up and asked, "In previous years, when was Wuhuan committing a crime?" Maybe you can judge the time of Wu Huan's attack this year? ”

"In previous years, Wuhuan had already sent troops at this time!" Xu Rong said coldly: "If the general is only these 3,000 people, he should still be ready to die in battle!" ”

"Oh?" Yan Zhanshu's face seemed to be smiling: "You are so disoptimistic about my subordinates? The white horse righteous servants who guarded this place before were defeated by my men! ”

"What?!" Xu Rong's face showed a stunned expression for the first time, since he was disabled, no one told him a lot of news, and he became excited: "If that's the case, there must be no big problem this year!" Every year, the number of Wuhuan troops is only tens of thousands, and the number of people attacking our Shanhaiguan is only tens of thousands. ”

"Haven't broken the barrier before? Is Wuhuan just coming to die every year? Yan Zhanshu always felt that something was wrong.

"General, the reason why barbarians are called barbarians is because they will carry the corpses of dead clansmen back as food, and then, spend every winter when there is a lack of food!" Xu Rong said meaningfully.

"Ruthless!" Yan Zhanshu's pupils shrank, he didn't expect that the barbarians would eliminate the weak by means of death every year, reduce the pressure of food, and make themselves stronger at the same time, no wonder, as long as the barbarians reach adulthood, they will have the strength above the divine power realm - those who can't reach this strength will already die in the Koubian again and again, acting as the stomach of the same clan!

"The tribe of the barbarians, not far from our Shanhaiguan?" Yan Zhanshu asked.

"There are not many tribes outside our Shanhaiguan Pass, and among the four major tribes of Wuhuan, only the smallest Wuyan tribe is closer, with nearly 10,000 people. The two larger ones, the Su Muyan Department has about 20,000 or 30,000 people, the Qiu Liju Department has about 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the largest Difficult Building Department has nearly 200,000 people, but they are at odds with Xianbei and it is difficult to go all out. And close to the Bauhinia Pass and Juyong Pass guarded by General Gongsun. ”

"The closer the tribe is to our Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, the fewer resources it can obtain, and the population is naturally smaller, and the farther away it is, the more resources and the more population it has!" Xu Rong seemed to understand Yan Zhanshu's thoughts a little, and a look of admiration began to appear on his face, and his words became more and more frank.

"In this case," Yan Zhanshu looked at the two thousand county soldiers he brought, and said to Liao Hua: "You lead the two thousand county soldiers who have been supplemented to stay, and guard the pass with this Captain Xu Rong and the remaining soldiers!" ”

"No!" Liao Hua knew that among the few generals who chose Zhao'an, his strength was the worst, and although he was unwilling, he still promised to come down.

"Next, we're going out to hunt!" Yan Zhanshu said loudly to the veterans who were trapped in the camp: "Whether you drink porridge or big fish and meat in the future depends on whether you can win the battle this time!" ”
