Before the winter, news came from the north that Yicheng, which had been holding out for four years, could no longer stop Yuan Shao's army, which was digging and filling the ditches, and gradually fell.

The wealthy clan in Bingzhou gradually calmed down, Zhang Yan was busy stabilizing the territory at this time, and Yuan Shao had already taken precautions against him, afraid that the army would go out to rescue Gongsun and suffer a devastating blow, and lose the good situation in front of the Black Mountain thieves, so he chose to die rather than save him.

Gongsun Zhan was at the end of his rope in the city, unable to return to the sky, seeing that the defeat was a foregone conclusion, he killed his wife and children with his own hands before the Yuan army broke the city, and finally raised the fire**.

Yicheng fell, half a year earlier than in real history.

Destroyed like the grandson of the white horse on his back, Yuan Shao finally had a relatively stable rear. At the same time, Yuan Shu, the first emperor in the troubled times, was disappointed because of his extravagance, and when Cao Cao brought the power of the new victory to fight, the situation suddenly collapsed, and more than half of the defectors of the Yuan Shu Department could not guard Shouchun, and they would not be able to survive this winter.

The external situation became more and more unfavorable for Deng Ji, and when the news came, Chang'an was almost ready, so Deng Ji mobilized more than 26,000 cavalry from the four armies under his command, and then brought Liu Bei's thousands of remnants to prepare to go out of Sizhou to conquer Zhang Ji.

Now that Xiliang is at the beginning of peace, the enemy will be dominated by Yuan Cao, and the strategic center of gravity of Sizhou needs to move eastward, Deng Ji decided to move General Wei's mansion back to Luoyang, and this time he will take his family with him.

Since following Deng Ji, the lord, Tian Chou has been working hard and has no choice but to be idle. General Wei's Mansion moved eastward, and he, Jing Zhaoyin, was exchanged positions with Du Ji.

Tian Chou was transferred back to Henan County and reassigned to the old system, which was regarded as a demotion. It's just that Deng Ji has to take it with him everywhere. It also shows that it is the first to be trusted by the county guard. None of the people dared to despise it.

Fortunately, Tian Fengfeng has the same surname but different clans, otherwise with these two people, the Tian family will definitely become the first wealthy family in the Deng family's foreign state.

It was early winter, and although there was no ice along the way, a thin layer of hoarfrost was already covered with a thin layer of hoarfrost on the withered grass from early in the morning, and then slowly melted away with the rising sun. The yellow-black underneath is revealed, and the frost and white on the ground with the yellow and black background are intermittently connected, making the whole earth look like a picture scroll.

Out of Chang'an, as long as there is farmland along the way, it will not take long to see two dock forts standing side by side, standing tall in the wilderness, and smoke rising from the sky. On the top floor of the Dock Fort, many teenagers and children jumped and cheered and hissed. I don't know what to say to this marching army.

The north wind outside is slightly cold, but the road is far away. Yesterday had been a day's journey, and there were still five or six days to go, and the two sons of Deng Ji, who were older than him, were reluctant to stay in the carriage, and after begging their father, they were allowed to ride on their respective foals, led by a black iron guard with the reins.

The black iron guard who pulled the reins for Deng Shi was named Yang Pan, and the one who led the horse in front of Deng Zhang was also a chief, named Wu Qian.

Dian Wei, who was following closely, saw that the two young masters on the foal, who were already skilled in riding, made such a well-behaved appearance at this time, and grinned and smirked at himself.

Deng Shi and Deng Zhang are both ten years old, they are naughty age, their father is the master, they are usually detained by their respective mothers, they can't have fun at will, they have to put on a decent little adult everywhere, it's really boring.

In Deng Ji's eyes, this is really a boring childhood. Therefore, as long as he is at home, he will always intentionally or unintentionally destroy the etiquette education that many children should receive, which makes Wu Jiao's two mothers annoyed.

Deng Ji thinks that the child is rigid and should restore his innocence, but in the eyes of Wu Jiao, the son is becoming more and more rude with the connivance of his father, which is very incompatible with their identity at this time.

How to treat the two sons, the two parties have great differences and disputes, fortunately this is still a patriarchal society, and Deng Ji's authority at home is not diminished, and he can make decisions and fight for many rights to play for the children. With this, Deng Ji, who is often not at home, can please the children.

The two clans of Wujiao each sent a special master for Deng Shi and Deng Zhang, and Deng Ji couldn't stop it, but he began to practice martial arts and work hard until the previous year, and then regardless of their dissuasion, he was resolutely sent out of the general's mansion and went to the square to practice together with the children of the Tian Yu Che Huang family.

The two little boys who had been out in the wild were returning home later and later every day.

Today, the mother was in the carriage next to them, and the little brothers didn't dare to let go of the wreckage for the time being, so they could only ride slowly while secretly looking at the soldiers passing by the periphery through the gaps in the surrounding black iron guard walls to see if there were any acquaintances.

Deng Wei didn't have such a good life, she was tightly strangled in her arms by Wu Yao, and she couldn't get out of the carriage, so she could only lift the curtain and look at the two brothers with envy.

For this daughter, Deng Ji can't help, Deng Shi and Deng Zhang have learned to ride horses, but Deng Wei can't, and there is no exclusive foal suitable for her in the team.

Now even Deng Ji thinks that her daughter is still better, her baby daughter is enough to give people a headache, the two brothers have the right to leave the house freely, and her favorite game on weekdays is how to avoid the eyes of her family, how to run outside without alarming others, although she has not succeeded once, but she has made the maid who served her frightened and cried several times, and then learned to ride a horse?

On the side, Treading Snow is constantly snorting, dissatisfied with the slowness of the team, and wants to show some of its own divine horse style, but unfortunately the owner has been holding the reins and not allowing it to let go of its hooves.

Deng Ji was listening to Xu Shu's report on the recent spy report from Nanyang.

In addition, since Deng Ji entered Henan, he began to send secret civilian works to the surrounding areas, which focused on the people's livelihood and the movements of the wealthy family, as a mutual supplement to the eyes and ears and military information, which was initially mastered by Tian Feng.

Fine work can also be done well, but the summary and screening are too complicated and trivial, and a fine wise man has to spend time to take care of it, Tian Feng is really busy, this matter is too energy-involved, and after Jia Xu joins, it will be transferred to Jia Xu.

Jia Xuzuo's military division is already a high authority, although he is called a "poisoner", but he is good at Taoguang to keep his own life safe, in order to avoid suspicion at the expense of giving up part of his power, seeing that Xu Yuan was directly appointed to drive away, he was even trusted by Deng Ji, but he was only responsible for some of the main cases, so he asked Deng Ji again, and gave Xu Shu the operation command of the detailed work.

At this time, Xu Shu was saying to Deng Ji: "The words of the lord's previous confession have been spread in Nanyang, and everyone in the villagers knows it, and it can be done!" ”

Deng Jijaw asked, "How is it in Wancheng?" ”

"The lord is very secret, Zhang Ji has not noticed, Wancheng has no changes as usual, and there is nothing special for the big family," Xu Shu was first excited, and then frustrated: "However, if the army is dispatched, I am afraid it will not be able to hide it for two days!" ”

The dispatch of fine work has always been mutual, and there must be Zhang Ji's fine work in Sizhou, but the focus of its investigation is on Henan County, and even if the news from Hongnong Jing Zhaoyin's side is obtained, Lu Yuan will not be able to return within a day or two.

"It's okay, Powan City has already made a plan, and we don't need to be surprised! What I am worried about is not Zhang Ji, but Liu Biao'er! Deng Ji said casually, as if he was aware of it, suddenly stopped stepping on the snow, closed his eyes and waited.

Xu Shu was a little puzzled, and was about to ask, when the sound of the hurried horses' hooves in front of him had come into his ears.

Listening to the sound of horses' hooves, there were several horsemen galloping against the flow of people, thinking that it was to find the lord's business, Xu Shu stopped talking and waited for the other party to approach.

It was a few cavalry scouts under the guerrilla captain Ailan, and when they went forward, the leader dismounted and announced: "Lord, the advance of the army has arrived outside Huayin County, for the boundary of Hongnong County, Yang Taishou led the villagers to greet him, and wanted to use livestock and melons to work the army, and General Zhao asked if he entered the city?" ”

"It's a lot of trouble!" Deng Ji's prestige is not enough on weekdays, and Xu Shu rarely sees him so scolding: "The soldiers of Sizhou bring their own grain, and they will seek to borrow it from the county when necessary, how can there be a labor army?" It is rumored that Zhao Zilong, the army came out of Chang'an, and Fang rested in Zheng County last night, and it has not yet reached the middle of the day, how can he hope to stop? If you are afraid of suffering and fill the vanguard, you will have other troops and horses to replace it! ”

"Summoned Yang Xinyou, Sizhou is subordinate to civil and military, and you can take care of domestic government affairs, how to trespass? If there is a major event, and the order in the army prohibits it, how can it be abolished because of a small matter? And the actions of the labor army disturb the people and cost money, which is not the blessing of Sizhou, if you mislead the state affairs again, it will be a great crime! ”

"Whoa!"

Since Jiao touched the rebellion and died, Jiao's declined, Jiao Qin lacked foreign aid, and settled for a while. Seeing that Deng She, the eldest son, was growing up and was favored by his father no less than half a point of his other brothers, and he was not snubbed because of his anxiety, some people suddenly began to think about it.

The family declined, Jiao Qin had no help, and he just came to send charcoal in the snow, and many people moved closer to the past, and the one who rushed to the front was the original Huguan Yang family who went south together with the Hou Kingdom.

Yang Pan, who took the initiative to lead the foal for Deng Shi today, is from the Yang family.

Deng Ji will love each of his children, and he doesn't want or want a life-and-death fight between them, and he naturally hates and hates these actions that add to the fire.

instigated his own children to compete for favor and heirs, and in the end, no matter whether he won or lost, it was Deng Ji's small family that was harmed, and even if Wu Jiaoqin did this, Deng Ji couldn't tolerate it.

It's just that the Huguan Yang clan went south with the army from the Hou Kingdom, and he is an old man under his command, and he has paid a lot over the years, and it is not good to do it indiscriminately.

Hongnong is too shou Yang Li, the word letter friend, is the highest status of the Huguan Yang family in Sizhou now, although the government is not prominent, he is diligent on weekdays, and there are few mistakes, but today's sycophant actions just give Deng Ji a reason.

He wanted to directly reprimand Yang Lilaojun's flattery, but this is too heavy for people in this era, too humiliating, and if he doesn't do it well, he will force people to resign or commit suicide to apologize.

Yang immediately slapped his fart on the horse's leg, which caused Zhao Yun to suffer from unwarranted disasters, and he also suffered a lot and hung up.

After some reprimand, Deng Ji was still angry, and ordered the army to move forward, and along the way in the territory of Hongnong County, all the cities were not entered, and the army was stationed on the outskirts at night, until it crossed the Hangu Pass and reached the border of Henan.
