In front of Hanya Pass.

The two armies were in a circle, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei rode out of the battle, and went straight to the front of the Liangzhou chaotic army, Zhao Cen saw Liu Bei coming with his bare hands, and there was only one general around him, so he also fought his horse out of the battle surrounded by more than a dozen horsemen, and came to the front of the two armies to hug Liu Bei Yao's fist, and said loudly: "Liu Yuanjun." ”

Liu Bei also clenched his fists and said, "General Zhao." ”

Zhao Cen said: "I don't know what the envoy is doing here?" ”

Liu Bei said: "I only came to offer food." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Cen's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Liu Bei thoughtfully, and asked, "Offering food?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Exactly." ”

Zhao Cen said: "The envoy is not afraid that this matter will happen in the east window, and he will be played in front of the Son of Heaven for fornication and thieves?" ”

Liu Bei said indifferently: "Dare to ask the general, are you a thief?" ”

Zhao Cen's heart jumped, and he said in a condensed voice: "What does Liu Yuanjun mean by this? ”

Liu Bei had a faint smile on his face, and said: "As long as the general is willing, he can ask the Son of Heaven for a holy decree within three days, and entitle the general as the general of Hangu Pass. ”

"Hmm~~"

Zhao Cen fell into deep thought.

Liu Bei's conditions are not unattractive, as long as he agrees to serve, the imperial court will pay money and grain to support the army under his command, and what is even more exciting is that Zhao Cen can still entrench in Hangu Pass, and his fate is still firmly in his own hands. However, Zhao Cen also knew that there was no free dinner in the world, and Liu Bei was bound to have a plan if he offered such generous conditions.

"Is Liu Yuanjun's words serious?"

"Seriously."

"Are there any other conditions?"

"There are no other conditions." Liu Bei said indifferently, "The general only needs to send the generals under his command to Luoyang with him, and accept the edict of the Son of Heaven instead of the general." ”

"Good!" Zhao Cen turned around and shouted, "Where is the solidity?" ”

Behind Zhao Cen, a general rode out of the ranks, clenched his fists and said quickly: "The last general." ”

Zhao Cen said: "Immediately follow Liu Zhijun to Luoyang to watch Chen Tianzi, and say that this general thinks of the common people in the world, and abandons the darkness and turns to the light." ”

Zheng Gu said: "The last general will take the order." ”

……

Kure County.

Sun Jian appointed himself as the Taishou of Wu County, and listened to the strategy of the military advisor Xu Shu to post the list all over the party to invite heroes from all directions, and in the past few months, heroes from all walks of life have come to vote.

From time to time, there was Gu Yong, a famous man in Wu County, who sighed and came to vote, and was entrusted with the important task of long history by Sun Jian.

Gu Yong also recommended Pengcheng celebrity Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao table Zibu, because of the chaos Jiangdong hidden in Wu County, Sun Jian also invited him to engage in the front of the account, Zhang Zhao also recommended Guangling people Zhang Hong, Zhang Hong Zigang, is also the current celebrity, Zhang Hong and recommended Huaiyin people Bu Qi, Bu Qi Zi Mountain, also has great talents.

There is also a warrior Zhu Huan, famous in Wu County, and Sun Jianyan is the former lieutenant of the tent.

Zhu Huan recommended Yuyao Ling Ying, Ling Ying recommended Jiujiang Zhou Tai, Zhou Tai recommended Shouchun Jiang Qin, Jiang Qin recommended Lujiang Chen Wu, Yuyao Dong Xi, and Qiantang Quanrou, all of whom were former captains of Sun Jian's account. Gradually, Sun Jian's command gathered a large number of civil and military generals, and began to reveal a different atmosphere from the past.

Sun Jian's ancestral home is Wu County, and he is an authentic Jiangdong scholar, and it is easy to get the full support of the Jiangdong scholar. In the third year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (190 years), Sun Jian had a complete foothold in Wu County, and at this time, Sun Jian's subordinates wanted to have civil ministers, military generals and generals, and money and grain, and already had the capital to dominate the world.

……

Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty was built in April of the third year.

After Cao Ying quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion in Qingzhou, he immediately rushed to win the imperial court with 800.

The Son of Heaven gave the Jin Dynasty the title of Cao Ying as the general of Pingdong, the marquis of Ao Township, and the fake Jieyue. At this time, Cao Ying thought that he had gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou, and he no longer had to send people under the fence and rely on people to snort to survive, so he sent Taishan Taishou Ying Shao to Langyu County to pick up his father's family to come to Yanzhou for reunion.

Cao Ying's father, Cao Song, has moved his family to Langyu County since Cao Ying's rebellion against Dong Zhuo.

Ying Shao rushed to Langxie and handed Cao Ying's handwritten book to Cao Song for a look. Cao Song read Cao Ying's handwriting, Lao Huai was pleased, and he thought that he had finally come out of the way, so he and his second son Cao De brought more than 40 family members, more than 100 slaves and entourage, and loaded more than 100 ox carts with family assets, and came to Yanzhou in a mighty way.

When Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian heard of this news and wanted to take the opportunity to marry Cao Ying, he sent the commander Zhang Min to lead five hundred old troops to escort him.

Halfway through this day, suddenly heavy rain fell from the sky, Ying Shao and Zhang Min hurriedly took Cao Song's family and more than 100 cars of property into the ancient temple in the mountains to take refuge temporarily, Cao Song because his wife and concubines were all women, it was not suitable to be in the same room with the soldiers, so Zhang Min's 500 foot soldiers were arranged to take shelter under the outline, but the rain was strong and windy that night, and many soldiers were drenched into soup chickens by the heavy rain that blew in obliquely.

"His grandmother's, when did the brothers suffer like this?" A soldier stretched out his hand to wipe his face, wiped the rain off his face, and said scoldingly, "I thought that if I voted for the official army, I would be able to eat and drink spicy food, but now it's good, and the dare is worse than the original. ”

"Yes." Another soldier, who was leaning on the window edge and looking inside, stretched out his hand and pointed to the house, muttering, "Look at the people, it's wine and meat, and look at the brothers, you can't even find a place to shelter from the rain. ”

The soldier's voice fell, and there was a dead silence outside the corridor of the ancient temple.

"Click~~"

Flashes of lightning flashed from the sky, illuminating the faces of the five hundred soldiers, and almost all of them had a wolf-like light in their eyes, like a pack of wild beasts smelling the tempting delicacy of their prey. Zhang Min and these 500 soldiers were originally Yellow Turban thieves who fled into Xuzhou from Qingzhou, but they surrendered to become officials because of Tao Qian's benevolence and righteousness.

With the dazzling lightning, Zhang Min turned his head sideways like a god, and looked straight at the more than 100 carts tightly packed together under the porch on the other side, his grandmother's, it was more than 100 carts of gold and silver property! his grandmother, Zhang Min spit out the grass stalk in his mouth fiercely, and pulled out the knife in his hand.

"Brothers, fuck your mother's vote, and then go back to Mount Tai and fall into the grass!"

"Okay!"

Five hundred soldiers agreed.

……

Lu County, the official residence of Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei.

Two days ago, Bao Xin fell off the horse drunk, and the arrow sores recurred, and he was about to die. Hearing that his friend's surname was dying, Cao Ying hurriedly left his army and came to visit from Snake Hill.

In front of the couch, Cao Ying said gloomily: "Righteousness (Bao Xinbiao), someone came to see you?" ”

"Mengde, is it Mengde?"

"It's Cao."

Bao Xin opened his sour eyes and looked at Cao Ying, his chapped lips snorted for a long time before he whispered: "Meng De, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this time." Bao Mou is the prime minister of Jibei, and he fought in the east and west, first in response to Meng Dexing's righteous soldiers to fight Dong Zhuo, and then Wang Shiping thief, and he has no regrets, but there are two things that can't be put down, cough cough cough~~"

Cao Ying remembered the old friendship with Bao Xin, and couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and said gloomily: "Justice, if you have any unfulfilled wishes, let Cao complete it for you." ”

Bao Xin bowed his head lightly, and the young man who knelt at the head of the bed with his fingers said: "I have an only son, the name is true, but the poor is only nine years old and has no relatives, no support, and I hope that Meng De will remember the friendship and raise him Chengren, then I am grateful to believe in the spring." ”

"Be righteous and rest assured." Cao Ying wept and said, "Since you are my son, Bao Zhen is Cao Zhen, and you are here to swear to the sky, if you violate the oath, people and gods will destroy it together." ”

"If this is the case, you can also turn a blind eye to death." Bao Xin's eyes showed a look of relief, and he shouted to the young man kneeling at the head of the bed, "Zhen'er, don't you hurry up and knock on your father-in-law." ”

The young man turned to Cao Yingna's head and bowed, and sang respectfully: "Zhen'er knocks to see the righteous father." ”

"Good boy." Cao Ying hurriedly stepped forward to help Cao Zhen up, and said in a harmonious voice, "Hurry up." ”

Bao Xin took a long breath, lifted the last breath and said: "Mengde, this second thing is to repay your kindness to the orphans, I have a general forbidden, can lead the army, good at fighting, but it is a pity that there are few small soldiers in Jibei country, and it is difficult to show his talents in the ban, fortunately, Meng De is already the shepherd of Yanzhou, if you can use it for you, you will be able to show your strengths." ”

Cao Ying muttered: "Righteousness and public friendship, and the sense of guilt is five." ”

"Alas~~" Bao Nobunaga let out a long sigh and said quietly, "It's okay now, I really don't have any regrets." ”

After saying that, Bao Xin slowly closed his eyes and died suddenly.

Coming out of Bao Xin's official residence, Cao Ying ordered people to prepare for Bao Xin's funeral, and at the same time ordered people to extend Yu Ban.

As early as when Yingchuan encircled and suppressed Zhang Liang's yellow scarves and horse butchers 800 liukou, Cao Ying had cooperated with Yu Ban, and he had a very good impression of the ban.

However, before Yu Ban came, Cao Hong arrived panting first.

"Zilian?" Cao Ying said confusedly, "You don't lead the army in Snake Hill, but what are you doing in Lu County?" ”

Cao Hong's face was different, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What's wrong?" Cao Ying's heart was suspicious, a haze had already floated in his little eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Speak quickly." ”

Cao Hong sighed and said, "Lord, master, he ......."

Cao Ying was stunned, and shouted: "What's wrong with my father? ”

Cao Hong said gloomily: "At the behest of the lord, Shao went to Langyu to greet the master, Tao Qian's old thief was uneasy and kindly sent five hundred parts to escort him, and when he walked halfway, these five hundred parts suddenly turned against him, and the poor master, the second master and the whole family of more than 40 people, more than 100 slaves were slaughtered, and only a dozen people escaped by luck and came to Snake Hill to report the news. ”

"Huh? Father! Second brother! ”

Cao Ying screamed, his eyes turned black and fell back.

……

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty built an army for three years (190 years).

In Julu County, Jizhou, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao finally met each other.

Julu County is located in the hinterland of Jizhou, is the northern gateway of Yecheng, once Julu County is captured by Gongsun Zhan's army, the soldiers of Youyan Tiger and Wolf can ride south to Yecheng, which is a serious blow to the confidence of the people and scholars in Jizhou, and not only the remnants of Han Fu who are in a wait-and-see situation will fall to Gongsun Zhan, but even Yuan Shao's old department will lose confidence.

……

Zhao Guo Gaoyi, Gongsun Zhan Zhongjun big tent.

Guan Jing pointed to the map and said to Gongsun Zhan: "Lord, Julu County is the last barrier in the north of Yecheng, as long as the lord's army captures Julu, General Zhao Yun's 8,000 white horse Yicong and General Yan Gang's 20,000 light cavalry can drive south from Pingxiang and approach Yecheng!" There was no large-scale cavalry under Yuan Shao's command, as long as General Zhao Yun's White Horse Yicong and General Yan Gang's 20,000 light cavalry suddenly appeared outside Yecheng City, Yuan Shao, who had just entered Yecheng, and his 20,000 troops would be completely crucified in Yecheng. ”

Gongsun Yue, who had just arrived in Gaoyi to join Gongsun Zhan's army, laughed when he heard this: "In this way, our army does not have to forcibly attack the city at all, but only needs to surround Yecheng to trap Yuan Shao in the city, what is the difference between this and strangling an ant?" Oh haha~~"

"Hmm!" Gongsun Zhan nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "So the battle of Julu is very important, and there is no room for mistakes. ”

Guan Jing said: "General Zhao Yun bravely crowned the three armies and commanded the troops well, and he will be able to win." ”

……

Qinghe County, Zhang Hezhong's army camp.

When Zhang He was sitting at the desk to inspect the hostile situation between Gongsun Zhanjun and Yuan Shaojun, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent, and when the tent curtain was lifted, Han Fu's old generals Han Meng and Jiang Qi had already hurried in.

"General Han Meng, General Jiang Qi." Zhang He stepped forward and asked urgently, "What is the situation in Julu?" ”

Han Meng said: "Gongsun Zhan's 60,000 army has entered Gaoyi of Zhao State, and Yuan Shao has also led 20,000 troops north to Juluping Township, and the war is about to break out." ”

Jiang Qi said: "Who does General Zhang He think has a better chance of winning?" ”

"Gongsun Zhan has the advantage of troops, and Yuan Shao waits for work, so it is difficult to judge whether the ripe is good or the good is defeated." Zhang He said this, his eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he said in a deep voice, "But one thing is certain, the winner of this battle will definitely unify You, Qing, Hebei, and the four states, and become the overlord of the north." ”
