The scenery in the wilderness is extremely beautiful, although the autumn wind is bleak at this time, and the eyes are full of sorrow, but the victory is natural, without a trace of human interference. Unlike later generations, there are people everywhere they go, and as long as the scenery is slightly better, it will be developed into a scenic spot, and there is a rough ecology everywhere here.

Zhang He's halberd warriors followed, each soldier dressed in thick armor and holding a halberd of more than two meters in his hand. At this time, the iron-smelting technology was not so developed, and everything depended on the craftsmanship of the craftsman, so the longer the iron weapon, the easier it was to break. There weren't many blacksmiths under Yuan Shao, but this halberd already represented his highest attainment, and all the resources were used to build this halberd.

Such a long halberd is excellent for dealing with cavalry charges, but Youzhou's archer tactics are very flexible, they will not hit hard, and they will retreat and regroup if they miss a blow, so it is easier to deal with them with a sword and shield hand. Euphorbia moves too slowly, after all.

Yuan Xi sat in the carriage, and Lu Fang and the other three drove the car. Now Lu Fang, Gao Mian, and Lu Da's three weak scholars have been transformed into all-rounders by him, who can write, drive, make fires, rebel, negotiate and calculate, in short, push things up and use them, and teach them while using them. The pie should be painted, and the benefits should be given. The most important thing is the opportunity to grow, once a person has hope, he will fight for himself. Yuan Xi grasped this degree very well.

Zhang He, who was riding a horse behind, still had a dark face, as if someone else owed him money. It stands to reason that with Yuan Xi's identity, other generals have already come up to say hello, but he has not come to talk to him since he set off.

Anyway, it's understandable that this kind of thunderous celebrity has a bad temper. There is still a chance later, there is a favorability system, and the relationship between each other is improved as much as possible.

Clattering, crunching, the carriage was paved with several planks, and as the wheels turned, it bumped up and down with an unpleasant sound.

"Lu Fang, find a horse, I want to ride a horse. If you sit down again, this ass will shake off. ”

"Okay."

Yuan Xi didn't have to ask Lu Fang where to get a horse, he only cared about the final result.

After a while, there was a neighing outside, and a horse was indeed led by Lu Fang.

"Well, it feels good to sit."

The horse was a little thin, but the four hooves were very strong, and Yuan Xi's legs were slightly clamped, and the horse trotted automatically.

"Drive!"

Got it, the horse got a little impatient and began to pick up speed.

Lu Fang and the other three were a little panicked, and hurriedly ran behind them, shouting, "My lord, don't run far." ”

It was surrounded by wilderness, with weeds on the ground, and a few groves in the distance blocking the view, otherwise it would be similar to a grassland.

Yuan Xi galloped wildly, laughing, and the depression of being forced to climb off Zhen Ji was finally relieved.

Running and running, he ran into a wood, and there was a deer grazing in front of him, and when he saw him break in, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and ran. It's a pity that I don't have a bow and arrows in my hand, otherwise I would have to try the right head. But when I think about it, I don't seem to have any experience in archery. It seems that this skill must be learned quickly.

Lu Fang and the three of them followed behind in embarrassment, and finally followed, and hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, out of breath.

"My lord, you can't run anymore, in case there is a beast ......"

Yuan Xi said: "Okay, then let's go back." ”

He turned his horse's head and was about to leave. There was a sound of horses' hooves ahead, and a total of three horsemen suddenly came into view. So he hurriedly grabbed the reins of the horse.

Three soldiers.

Yuan Xi looked at it at a glance and saw through the identity of the other party. Ruthless, resolute, only soldiers who have experienced the baptism of blood have such a perception.

"This boy is not resting, we are passing by!"

All three of them were dressed in ordinary hanfu, but the long sleeves and hem were tied tightly with ropes. One of them wore his hair tied up, wore a crown that turned upwards, and his face looked young, while his complexion was pale, his lips were bright red, and he was full of life from the inside out.

Yuan Xi couldn't help but applaud in his heart, judging from his appearance, he should not be a small person.

The man stopped when he left ten steps, and said from afar: "The three of us are on the road together, dare to ask how far away from Yecheng is here, and if you go to Gauntlet, what road should you take?" ”

Yuan Xi gave Lu Fang a look, and Lu Yi said: "This is to the east, which is the direction of the gall pottery." ”

The man said aloud, "Thank you for your advice." ”

As soon as the three of them clamped their horses, they were about to leave, when suddenly the young man in the lead turned his head and said, "Childe, with all due respect, it is not peaceful here now, and the big war between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan is about to break out, if there is nothing to do, it is better not to stay in the wilderness." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Oh? Why did the strong man say this, if it was a big war, it should also be in the north. No matter how fast the Gongsun Zhan cavalry is, the soldiers can't point here. ”

The young man paused for a moment, smiled and arched his hand: "It's that I lost my words, and there will be a period later." ”

Then he led the two of them away.

Lu Fang said: "My lord, I don't know who it is, let's go back quickly." ”

Yuan Xi instructed: "Let's go around in a circle, avoid the three of them, and follow from behind." ”

The three attendants did as they did, without asking why.

On a dirt road that was artificially walked, the halberd warriors lined up in a long straight line, heading towards the end of the line of sight.

Zhang He was riding on a horse and pondering, he had just seen the second son Yuan Xi in front of him riding a horse and galloping into the distance, but he just frowned and did not make a sound. With his cautious temperament, he would not be as out-of-character as Yuan Xi.

The generals who have joined the army have the most dull life. If there is a big war, it will be overcome, and in the days when there is no war, they can only continue to train boringly. The three thousand halberds under Zhang He are quite an elite force, but this time it is not his turn to play, and he can only accompany an unappreciated gentleman to supervise grain in the rear.

Not even a partial army!

Jizhou's army pays attention to seniority, since Yuan Shao entered Jizhou, it is also necessary to look at the background relationship, all big families are buying henchmen, paving the way for their own interests, some are climbing relatives, some are married to children, Yuan Shao also turned a blind eye to this, except for the upright Yan Liangwen ugly, the rest of the people are more or less attached to a big family.

So Zhang He has to stand aside.

In the past, he was one rank lower than him, and his combat exploits were not as good as his high, but now he was already above him. If it weren't for Yuan Tan, the eldest prince in Qingzhou, who valued himself this time, I am afraid that he would not even be able to get a captain. Therefore, even if Feng Ji regarded him as the person of the eldest prince and deliberately excluded him, he had no complaints.

He disdains to rely on a certain faction, but he also knows how to repay his kindness and can tell who is good for him.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded in the back of his head. Yuan Xi's horse spilled its hooves and was galloping towards this place quickly. And his three so-called henchmen are chasing after him like mourners.

"Whew-"

Yuan Xi finally controlled the horse to slow down, and after two more turns in place, he finally stopped. This clumsy control technique made Zhang He frown.

"Captain Zhang!" Yuan Xi raised his head and looked at it, and said, "It's not early, let's camp here today." ”

Zhang He couldn't help frowning, and said: "There are no rivers or slopes in the wilderness here, and there are dense forests around, which is a dead place. If you go further than an hour, there will be a village for rest. ”

Yuan Xi said: "No, no, the wilderness is low and the trees are low, the scenery here is good, and it is suitable for camping." The soldiers carried such a heavy halberd for a day, and they were tired. If you're fast, you should be able to set up your tent before dark. ”

Zhang He wanted to insist, but Yuan Xi just shook his head and whipped away.

No way, who made him surnamed Yuan.

"All the soldiers obey the order and set up camp—"
