The days are getting warmer day by day, and the soldiers who were on vacation by Yuan Xi in the people's army have also returned to Yecheng one after another. The original ninety-three people, plus some Youzhou deserters who were collected along the way, basically returned to the camp. Only three people did not come back, and they probably slipped away.

The People's Army does not have a military registration register, and it is not considered a formal establishment, and it is conceivable that some people take advantage of this loophole and do not come back. Before, Lu Fang advised Yuan Xi not to let the soldiers return to their hometowns, once they returned to their hometowns, they would never come back. But as it turned out, three people were lost. This greatly boosted Yuan Xi's spirits, and he also looked highly motivated at the mobilization meeting.

"Do you know where you're going? We are going to Youzhou, which is the former territory of Gongsun Zhan. Remember what I said before? We must take a long-term view and take the road step by step. This Youzhou is our first step, in Youzhou, let's achieve a small goal first......"

The words were sonorous and powerful, and every word echoed in everyone's ears for a long time. After a long winter, something has taken root in the hearts of these people. Now Yuan Xi, after hesitation and struggle, finally gave up those unrealistic fantasies and embarked on a new journey. Like Alexander's crusade, or Columbus's voyage, facing the vast unknown. The fertile soil of Youzhou is like uncultivated virgin land, waiting for them to occupy and cultivate.

Some of the people who returned to their hometowns did not come empty, they went alone, and when they came back, they often had seven or eight people, all of whom were their fellow villagers. These people heard about the people's army and wanted to join one after another. This greatly surprised Yuan Xi's expectations. Although it was a good thing that there were many people, there were not so many weapons and costumes that he entrusted Yuan Fu to prepare. If you want to eat a fat man in one bite, he still can't do it. But since it's here, let's be put into the team first. He asked Lu Fang to register all the newcomers and prepare to expand into a second company, and the two companies formed a battalion. He instructed Lu Fang that the proportion of veterans in each newly established squad should be at least half, and there must be some core backbones.

These newcomers need to be trained and educated more, so that they can understand the cruelty of society and dispel all illusions. If a recruit escapes, there is no need to stop him. And the soldiers of Youzhou are rejoicing, no matter what, Youzhou is also their hometown, and now they are stepping into their homeland with the new assassin Shi, which is quite a bit of a taste of returning home.

Gao Shun was stationed in the squad platoon led by Li Ping, the first platoon of the first company, most of the members of the first company and the first squad were the first soldiers who followed Yuan Xi to the camp back then, and they were also used to seeing the wind and waves, but such a big and three coarse, able to fight one against five warriors, everyone didn't dare to mess with him. Especially the spirit of not being afraid of death in his eyes is enough to make people's hearts break. Li Ping has this fierce general, and he can't stop smiling, and now in the internal competition, his team can win safely.

Zhao Yun's ten "ribs" guards, after this period of training, really became a lot more energetic. Although it is not covered like "Tesira", the appearance is completely different. Zhao Yun's favorite way to train is to get on a horse and let the ten people run behind him. Without Zhao Yun, these guys would probably starve to death, so they didn't complain at all.

"Yuan Fu, you really don't want to go with me?"

Yuan Xi also fell in love with Yuan Fu, an old man, although he was dizzy and faltering, but Yuan Xi found that he was really indispensable, and whenever he needed it, Yuan Fu would appear to help him solve the problem. It is really worthy of Lao Situ's entourage, not to mention that he also has a stunt of planning a plate, which is a rare talent.

"Second son, old arms and legs, I really can't stand the toss, that place in Youzhou is too far away, I'm afraid I'm going to see Master Situ before I go."

Yuan Xi didn't force him, he traveled to this era, Yuan Fu was the first person with a favorability of more than ninety, and he is still the only one who has exceeded ninety, although the name is master and servant, but the relationship is similar to that of grandparents and grandchildren. Don't look at the two of them, they usually talk a little casually, and Yuan Xi can only say some things to Yuan Fu. Thinking about it this way, it's better to let him take care of his old age.

After the matter was assigned, since someone came to work, Yuan Xi quieted down and did nothing all day. I thought I could stay in Yecheng for two or three months, but I didn't expect the news of Gongsun Zhan's demise to come soon.

After the New Year, the situation on the front line took a sharp turn for the worse. The people in Yijing City were so unbearable that they even began to attack the troops defending the city. And the soldiers defending the city were also demoralized. In the end, I don't know which unit of Yuan's army was, one day I suddenly tried to attack the city on a whim, but the city gate was opened, and a large number of troops were killed, and they were welcomed by the people. In the end, Gongsun Chan committed suicide by burning himself in the tower built by Yi Jing himself, and the entire tower burned for three days and three nights, and finally burned to charcoal, and Gongsun Chan's body was not found.

This means that Yuan Xi, the new assassin of Youzhou, has to hurry up and take office. According to the convention, Zhen Ji is going to stay in Yecheng. When the eldest brother Yuan Tan took office in Qingzhou, the family also stayed in the Yuan Mansion. Only then did Yuan Xi know why Zhen Ji was robbed by Cao Cao's son later. After the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Xi in history was still in Youzhou, so naturally he couldn't save his daughter-in-law. He silently reminded himself in his heart that if the battle of Guandu was lost, he had to quickly pick up Zhen Ji first, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past and put on a green hat.

This wife Cao is really hateful. According to Diao Chan, Lu Bu had a general of Qin Yilu under him, and his wife Du was very good-looking, but after Qin Yilu's department was broken, Du was robbed by Cao Cao as a concubine. Lu Bu was also afraid that he would be cuckolded, so he arranged for Gao Shun to take Diao Chan away in advance.

Taking away people's wives and daughters is the most hateful. Even if you go to Youzhou, you must find a way to reverse the defeat in the battle of Guandu. It's a pity that I don't know why the battle of Guandu was lost, so I can only keep an eye on the development of the battle situation at all times, and I can still find clues. All wars in the Three Kingdoms period should be won with less, which is nothing more than fire attack, water attack, food robbery, and camp robbery, Sun Tzu also said in the Art of War, strategy determines the victory or defeat of the war, and it is often an inconspicuous detail that determines success or failure.

In addition, when you arrive in Youzhou, you must also manage this territory. Cunning rabbit three holes, no matter the victory or defeat of the battle of Guandu, in the future, you will always have to face the threat of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, if you can protect yourself and the people you care about, you have to speak with strength.

For this reason, he found Yuan Fu and asked him to arrange some of his henchmen in Yecheng, and Gao Mian was arranged in Yecheng to be responsible for collecting intelligence and delivering news. Once there is any disturbance in the south, you must report it to Youzhou in time.

As the earth rejuvenated, the leaves on the trees gave new leaves, and the branches sounded the sound of birds, Yuan Xi knew that the day of his departure had also arrived. In the past few days, Zhen Ji has been around Yuan Xi intentionally or unintentionally, grinding her ears and temples, and she must have sensed the reluctance to separate. It's just that neither of them mentioned this matter first.

After the attack on Yijing, lanterns were hung up and down the Yuan Mansion, and the atmosphere was very warm. Yuan Shao's feast heroes, who get drunk every day, naturally can't care about this son who is about to set off. In his mind, Yuan Xi may be an important minister who guards the land on behalf of his father, but he is definitely not a child who can be loved. It's just that Yuan Shao is different from Cao Cao, he has always held an open attitude on the issue of the inheritance of several sons, the eldest son goes to Qingzhou, the second son goes to Youzhou, and in the future he will take Yanzhou, maybe he will send the third son, maybe he wants to let his sons compete freely and decide the final heir fairly.

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had already started on the track, while Yuan Xi was slowly preparing, but he still wanted to see the possibilities outside the track. If he accepts his track with peace of mind, then he is not a modern person.

In short, early this morning, when Yuan Xi came out to exercise, he happened to meet Yuan Shao, who had just woken up from a hangover, in the garden.
