The five-year warlord melee in Jian'an not only greatly damaged the vitality of the Liangzhou Military Group, but also the Kwantung Military Group, among which Cao Ying suffered the heaviest losses! Cao Ying's tens of thousands of elite soldiers who were finally pulled up by the Qingzhou Yellow Turban were lost in this battle, and even the tiger and leopard cavalry, which was composed entirely of clan children, were not spared.

There was even a time when Cao Ying's men only had a few hundred soldiers and horses left.

Fortunately, Yan and Henan have a large population, Cao Ying does not have to face the problem of depleting troops like a horse butcher, plus Xun Yu, a good internal affairs hand, stayed in the rear and recruited 30,000 new troops in time, otherwise, just dealing with bandits in the territory is enough for Cao Ying to have a headache.

However, now Cao Ying is facing a new crisis.

……

Xuchang, Xiangfu.

When Cao Ying was discussing with Xun Yu, Guo Jia and others, he suddenly saw Xiahou walking in and said loudly: "Meng De, it's not good!" ”

Cao Ying's small eyes narrowed for a moment, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Yuan Rang, what happened?" ”

Xiahoudun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Shu is going to do it!" ”

"Huh?" Cao Ying's face changed, and he said hurriedly, "Speak quickly!" ”

Xiahoudun said: "Just after the return of the horse, Yuan Shu's general Chen Lan led 50,000 troops to cross Yingshuitun in Gepo, and the troops approached Runan, and Lei Bo led 50,000 troops out of Xiyang, and the troops pressed Liang Guo!" There are also Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui who led 80,000 troops to Ruyin, and they may cross Yingshui to attack Qianjun at any time. ”

Cao Ying's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he said in a condensed voice: "This Yuan Shu! 180,000 troops were mobilized! It seems that he is determined to put his true appearance to death. ”

"Don't worry, my lord." Guo Jia pondered for a while, and then said indifferently, "Although Yuan Shu has a large number of troops, there is a lack of generals to command the army, and relying only on Chen Lan, Lei Bo, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and others is not enough to pose a threat to our army!" Moreover, calculating the time, Mr. Ziyang (Liu Yebiaozi) should almost arrive in Shouchun now, if nothing else, Yuan Shu's three-way army will retreat without saying anything. ”

Cao Ying's eyes were coveted, and he said with some fascination: "If this aspect can do the land of Yangzhou and the soldiers of Yuan Shu, why worry about the uncertain world and the Han family?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "If nothing else, Yangzhou will be owned by the lord next year." ”

……

Yangzhou Shouchun, Da Sima Mansion.

Yuan Shu stood tall in the case soldiers, glanced at Liu Ye proudly, and asked indifferently, "Why did Mr. come from?" ”

Liu Ye looked around and was silent.

Yuan Shu understood, waved his hand and retreated, and then asked, "Mr. Liu Ye, can you talk about it now?" ”

Liu Ye hugged his fists and said: "On the order of the prime minister, I came to present the jade seal of the country." ”

"The jade seal of the country?" Yuan Shu Huo Ran got up and asked loudly, "Where is the jade seal?" ”

Liu Ye solemnly took out a cloth bag from his arms and put it on the case, Yuan Shu couldn't wait to untie it layer by layer, and finally revealed a jade seal.

The jade seal of the country is four inches in circumference, on the New York hand over five dragons, the front is engraved with the book of Qin Xiang Li Si "ordered by the sky, both longevity and Yongchang" eight seal characters, since the pre-Qin, the former Han Dynasty, this seal is both a symbol of the imperial power of God, and it is ordered to be ordered by the sky, and the loss is that the number of qi has been exhausted, which can be described as the heavy weapon of the country!

Looking at the heirloom jade seal on the case, Yuan Shu's eyes were straight!

Liu Ye took a step forward, leaned at Yuan Shu'er root and said: "The prime minister said, for more than 400 years before and after the Han Dynasty, the Liu family's qi has been exhausted, and the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family should be replaced by the three princes of the Yuan family. The prime minister got this jade seal from the dry well in Luoyang, and he didn't dare to accept it privately, so he ordered to bring the jade seal to Da Sima. ”

Yuan Shu said coldly: "Meng De wants to harm this great Sima Hu? ”

Liu Ye's face changed, and he said hurriedly: "Prime Minister has a good intention, why did Da Sima say this?" ”

Yuan Shu said: "Meng De and this great Sima have a bad relationship, can they have such good intentions? ”

Liu Ye said with relief: "The prime minister said that personal grievances are trivial matters, and only the big things in the world are important!" ”

Yuan Shu wrapped the jade seal and put it away carefully, and then said to Liu Ye: "Mr. Ziyang, go back and tell Meng De that this jade seal will be left by the Great Sima, but the matter of being the emperor is not to be discussed!" My Yuan family has been favored by the emperor and has always been loyal to the monarch and the country, how can I corrupt the discipline and discipline and do that disloyal and unfilial act. ”

Liu Ye took a deep look and said respectfully: "Yes, I have decided to tell the prime minister what Da Sima said." ”

After saying that, Liu Ye gave Yuan Shu a long look, turned around and walked away.

As soon as Liu Ye's figure left, Yuan Shu's henchman Jin Shang turned out from behind the screen, Yuan Shu's eyes fell on Jin Shang, and asked, "Yuan Xiu, what do you think about this?" ”

Jin Shangyi's face was solemn, and he said solemnly: "As the saying goes, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, Cao Apu took the initiative to hand over the jade seal of the country to the lord, after all, after the defeat of Hangu Pass, Cao Jun has already frustrated his spirit, and now the three armies of Lei Bo, Chen Lan, and Zhang Xun are pressing the border, and Cao Ying can no longer withstand it, he is asking the Lord for peace." ”

"Hmm." Yuan Shu nodded proudly and asked, "Yuan Xiu thinks that this great Sima should make peace with Cao Ying?" ”

Jin Shang thought for a while and replied: "Although there are many candidates in the world, there is no strength to dominate the world, but there are only seven people, including the lord, the horse butcher, the general Yuan, Gongsun Zhan, Tao Qian, Liu Biao and Cao Ying, among these seven people, Cao Ying is the weakest, and the horse butcher is the greatest threat to the lord. ”

"Understood." Yuan Shu nodded, and said in a condensed voice, "Immediately send an order to Zhang Xun, Lei Bo, and Chen Lan, and the army will rest on the spot and recuperate, and no longer advance forward." ”

Jin Shanggong said: "The lord is wise. ”

……

Xuzhou, official road.

Lu Bu rode slowly, looking lonely.

Followed by Zhang Liao, Song Xian, Cheng Lian and the remaining more than 100 soldiers, looking up at the dark sky, Lu Bu sighed, only to feel that the future was like this sky, at a loss.

In this warlord melee, Lu Bu's losses were also extremely heavy, and the loss was still two thousand loyal old troops of the state! Looking back now, Lu Bu regretted it even more that his intestines were blue, he knew that this was the case, and he shouldn't have listened to Chen Gong's words in the first place! If you don't stay in Peicheng, you have to participate in any coalition army, why bother.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Cheng Lian followed behind Lu Bu and complained, "I shouldn't have listened to Chen Gong's words in the first place, you must know that Chen Gong was Cao Ying's advisor before, can he really think about the lord?" This time, Chen Gong will not return, and he will see that he has run away. ”

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with General Cheng Lian's words, right?" Zhang Liao retorted, "What Mr. Chen Gong said is still very reasonable, if we can't change the attitude of the Xuzhou Shi clan towards the lord, we won't stay long now!" Although our army suffered heavy losses in this battle, if we can change the Xuzhou scholars' views on the lord, the general will think that it is still worth it. ”

"Change the opinion of the Xuzhou scholars?" Song Xian said coldly, "Wen Yuan's thoughts are inevitably a bit wishful thinking. ”

"Alright, don't fight!" Lu Bu was annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but scold, "When is it, still fighting!" ”

"Lord!" Lu Bu's voice fell, and suddenly a personal soldier shouted, "It seems that someone is coming ahead." ”

"Huh?"

Lu Bule Ma turned around, put his hand on the awning and looked forward, and sure enough, he saw a large group of people coming from the official road in front of him, and more than a dozen scribes rode their horses first, and when the distance was close, Lu Bu found that it was the gentry of the scholars in Peicheng led by Chen Gong to go out of the city to greet him.

Zhang Liao said happily: "Lord, it is the military advisor who has come to greet you." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Lian was also shocked and said, "Chen Gong, this guy really persuaded the gentry of the gentry in the city?" ”

Zhang Liao muttered: "The two thousand old departments of the state have not been lost in vain, and the Xuzhou Shi clan has finally accepted the lord." ”

In the distance, Chen Gong turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and hugged his fists at Lu Bu and said, "Lord, I am fortunate not to be dishonored." ”

……

Yecheng, the General's Mansion.

Yuan Shao put away the holy decree and said to Zhang Yan, the leader of the Montenegrin army, with a smile on his face: "Pingbei General Zhang Yan still hasn't received the decree to thank you?" ”

Zhang Yan's eyes showed gratitude, and he knelt down and said, "The last general, thank you for the kindness of the general!" ”

"General Pingbei, please get up quickly, hehe."

Yuan Shao saw that Zhang Yan only thanked himself and not the court, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, took two steps forward to help Zhang Yan up, and said with a smile: "Now that the general is also the general of the imperial court, you can't follow that bandit as a faction to rob the house." ”

Zhang Yan's face turned red when he heard this, and he said to Yuan Shao: "Please rest assured, the general will strictly restrain military discipline after returning to the Renqiu camp, if there is another robbery of the people, there is no need for the general to order, and the end will cut off his head, and people will be sent to the general to apologize before the case." ”

"Whoa." Yuan Shao shook his hand and said, "General Pingbei is serious, his words are serious, it is necessary to restrain military discipline, the Black Mountain Army is now the regular army of the imperial court, of course, it can no longer be as reckless and lawless as a bandit, but there is no need for a military order, and the general believes that General Pingbei will be able to lead his own people." ”

Zhang Yan was grateful and said, "Thank you for your trust." ”

Yuan Shao patted Zhang Yan on the shoulder, and said in a harmonious voice: "The army and grain needed by the 100,000 Black Mountain Army, the general has already asked people to pull out Hejian County, and the general will send people to get it." Also, after the general returned to Renqiu's station, he must strictly monitor the movements of Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. ”

"Please rest assured, General." Zhang Yan hugged his fists and said, "In this way, the last general will leave." ”

Yuan Shao waved his hand, and Zhang Yan turned around and walked away.

Until Zhang Yan's figure disappeared outside the hall, Tian Feng, Judge, Feng Ji, Xun Chen and other talents rushed in, and for Yuan Shao and Tian Feng's arrangement, the Judge seemed a little unimpressed, and said: "Zhang Yan is just a martial artist, and it is a bit too much for the lord to treat him so well." ”

Yuan Shao looked at Tian Feng and was silent.

Tian Feng said: "Mr. Zhengnan (trial and match words) doesn't know, Zhang Yan is quite righteous, otherwise it is difficult to convince him!" If his heart is subdued, he will be loyal, and there will be no two hearts from now on, so that the 100,000 Montenegrin army can become the division of the lord, and with this heroic division, why worry about the uncertainty of the north? ”

The judge said disapprovingly: "In case Yan supports the soldiers with self-respect, I am afraid that it will become a big trend." ”

Tian Feng said: "There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people." ”

When he tried to argue again, Yuan Shaoyi waved his hand to stop him, and said indifferently: "There is no need to fight about Zhang Yan's matter, but the matter of trading horses with Pei Yuanshao of Mobei, how is it going?" ”

The judge hurriedly said: "Back to the lord, Pei Yuanshao has few horses, so he is short of money and food, and he is not opposed to the transaction, but he has to obtain the consent of the horse butcher, saying that he will give a reply after the first month." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao glanced at Tian Feng and asked, "Yuan Hao, in your opinion, will the horse butcher agree to the deal?" ”

Tian Feng pondered for a moment and then said, "Lord, Feng thought that the horse butcher would agree. ”

"Mr. Tian Feng thinks the question is too simple, right?" The judge sneered, "Last summer, the lord destroyed tens of thousands of troops of the horse butcher, not to mention, he almost ended the horse butcher's nest in the loop!" Now it is already a blessing not to oppose our army, how can it be possible to trade horses with our army in turn? ”

"That was last year, wasn't it?" Tian Feng smiled faintly and said, "What's more, the person that the horse butcher hates the most now should be Gongsun Zhan, not the lord!" Whether it is to kill chickens and monkeys to deter small countries in the Western Regions, or to give an explanation to his own troops, the horse butcher must take Gongsun Chan to open the knife! And ~~ you may start at the beginning of spring! ”

"Oh?" Yuan Shao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily, "So, this general can still join forces with the horse butcher?" ”

……

In the first month of the sixth year of Jian'an (193), Ma Yue returned to Hetao, and returned to Hetao with Ma Yue, as well as Jia Xu, Fu Xu, Fu Xie, Gan Ning, Xu Huang and other henchmen, only Gao Shun failed to come with him because he wanted to guard Hanguguan and Fazhen also had to guard Guanzhong and Liangzhou.

"Isn't it fun to learn and learn from time to time?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to have friends from afar?"

As soon as the horse butcher stepped into the door, he heard the sound of reading aloud, and when he looked up, he saw a thin little boy of seven or eight years old carrying his left hand behind his back, holding a book in his right hand, and walking in the courtyard with a zigzag step, shaking his head and reading non-stop in his mouth.

The horse butcher's heart suddenly paused.

"Poof!"

"Giggle......

The little broken child who was shaking his head and learning to walk the figure-eight steps suddenly fell under his feet, and suddenly another little broken child suddenly turned out behind the haystack not far away, this little broken child was five or six years old at most, but he looked like a tiger, and his two big eyes were black and bright, and the thief was very likable.

"Oh, the eldest brother was teased by the second brother again, and the eldest brother was teased by the second brother again~~"

In the immature laughter, two more three or four-year-old little broken children staggered out from behind the haystack, clapping their little hands and giggling there.

"Second brother, you're naughty again." The little broken child who fell down got up slowly, although his forehead was swollen and his nose was broken, but there was no angry expression on his face, and he smiled bitterly at the five or six-year-old little broken child, "Have you forgotten how Mr. usually teaches us?" Steady, you must be steady~~"

Although this child is only seven or eight years old, his expression and tone are already like an adult, and when the horse butcher saw it, he felt that his eyes were black for a while, damn it, this is the proud protégé of "sensitive and studious" taught by Guan Ning? He also praised him to the sky, saying that he was very knowledgeable at a young age?

"Zheng'er!" Liu Yan's shadow suddenly appeared, hugged the eldest child, and asked distressedly, "Did it hurt to fall?" ”

Dare to love this child is none other than Ma Zheng, the eldest son of the horse butcher (from Liu Yan).

The five or six-year-old boy is Ma Zhan, the second son of the horse butcher (from Zhen Erduo), and the other two smaller twin boys are Ma Yang, the third son of the horse butcher, and the fourth son Ma Qi (from Zou Yuniang), the little girl with pink makeup and jade pecking is the daughter of the Qiang girl Yuenuer for the horse butcher, named Yue'er.

"Mother." Ma Zheng shook his head and replied, "The child doesn't hurt, Mr. said that the elder brother must have the bearing of the elder brother, and he can't be as knowledgeable as the younger brother and sister." ”

"Good boy." Liu Yan hugged Ma Zheng tightly, and tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, and suddenly Liu Yan found Ma Yue standing on the steps with the corner of her eye, hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pulled Ma Zheng to the horse butcher, and said, "Zheng'er, hurry, come and see your father, and you, Zhan'er, Yang'er, Qi'er, and Yue'er, have all come to see your father." ”

Ma Zheng raised his head and looked at the tall and cold man in front of him with unfamiliar eyes.

Suddenly, Ma Zheng seemed to feel a little scared, took two steps back and retracted into Liu Yan's arms, and asked timidly, "Mother, is he really the father of the child?" ”

"Silly boy." Liu Yan was angry and anxious, "Of course he is your father." ”

Ma Zheng shrunk up two steps forward, knelt down respectfully towards the horse butcher, and said respectfully, "The child greets his father." ”

"The child visits his father."

Behind Ma Zheng, Ma Yang, Ma Qi, and Ma Yue also knelt down in style, only Ma Zhan stood there motionless, only looking at the horse butcher with mischievous eyes.

"Hmm."

The horse butcher nodded expressionlessly, stepped forward and touched Ma Zhan's little head, and then walked straight into the hall through the patio without saying a word. Not long after the horse butcher entered the hall, Zou Yuniang, Nai Zhenerduo, Yuenu'er, Aziguli and Liu Ming heard the news.

Diao Chan, as well as Erqiao and Mihuan who had just been captive, were all placed in Chang'an by the horse butcher and were not brought back to the old camp in Hetao.

For a long time, women in the horse butcher's family have no status, after entering the hall, the women did not dare to step forward to be coquettish, only dared to respectfully salute the horse butcher, and then retreated to stand on both sides, even if it was the princess of Yiyang, Liu Ming, now completely put aside the noble status of the royal princess, and has long adapted to such rules.

The horse butcher's gaze swept over the wives and concubines one by one, and when it fell on Zou Yuniang, a touch of softness suddenly flashed in his cold eyes, and he said: "Yuniang, this time the husband of the Southern Expedition heard the news of your brother Zou Jing, he is now an official under the account of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, okay." ”

Zou Yuniang's heart warmed, and she said coquettishly: "Yuniang thanked her husband." ”

Obviously, Azguli and Liu Ming had the lowest status in the family, and the two girls knelt on their knees and said respectfully: "The concubine and others have prepared the orchid soup, and respectfully invite the husband to take a bath." ”

……

Mobei grassland.

Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Ma Chao are coming to Hetao under the escort of hundreds of elite soldiers, at this time it is the middle of winter, the endless prairie has been completely covered by ice and snow, and there is snow in thousands of miles, and there seems to be no other color in the world except white.

"What the hell!" Zhou Cang shook the thing under his crotch, scolded and withdrew into his crotch, and cursed, "You can really freeze people into ice slag!" ”

"Zhou Cang, your thing hasn't been frozen into ice slag, has it?" Pei Yuanshao said ill-intentionedly, "One day you are going to freeze into ice slag, don't forget to tell our old Pei, hehe, the few little ladies in your account who have just been snatched from Xianbei in the east can't be widowed, why don't you give it to Lao Tzu to be happy?" ”

"Fuck you." Zhou Cang scolded back, "You have more fucking women than Lao Tzu, you really don't have a surname." ”

"Hahaha~~" Pei Yuanshao burst into laughter, and suddenly said, "Hey, Zhou Cang, have you heard of it, it is said that this time the lord recalled you and me to the old camp of Hetao, to be a matchmaker for us to marry the young ladies of the big families, but I don't know what the young ladies of the big families look like?" Like the woman in the black bull's tent, Lao Tzu is not interested. ”

"General~~!" A personal soldier came up with some displeasure and stammered in protest, "The woman in the little ~~ villain's tent is ~~ not ugly, good~~ good looking." ”

"Good-looking, good-looking, your woman good-looking."

Pei Yuanshao rolled his eyes, thinking that the black cow can also be called good-looking, and the cow can be married.

……

Hetao, Pingxi General's Mansion.

Outside the weather is cold, ice and snow, but the indoor is foggy, warm like spring, especially exciting, but it is Azguli and Liu Ming, the two women who scratch the wind, the two women are only wearing a thin light veil, at this time has been completely wet with water, the tulle is close to the body, showing the delicate curve of the fire to the fullest.

The horse butcher lay comfortably on his back in the special bath bucket, letting Azguli and Liu Ming's softness rub on his own ** body, washing away the dust and fatigue, but waking up is the beast surname and **, Azguli is the princess of the Yue family, the Yue people obviously belong to the Western race, blonde hair, blue eyes, tall figure, delicate body plump and angry, especially the two-petal round snow buttocks and the plump [***], which is even more bloody.

Liu Ming is the kind of typical oriental woman, not as glamorous as Aziguli, but a little more soft, the most feminine, but it can especially arouse the tyrannical conquest of men**.

"Wow~~"

Liu Ming poured a large bucket of mixed hot water on the horse butcher's body, and was stirred by this hot water, and the dust accumulated by the horse butcher for most of the year seemed to disappear in an instant, and he couldn't help but roar comfortably, and Azguli, who knelt in the bathtub to rub the horse butcher's body, turned around to get the fragrant pancreas.

Azguli turned around, and presented the fat and plump buttocks in front of the horse butcher, and the thin Luo Yi was tightly attached to Azguli's skin by the water, outlining the plump tomb between her jade crotch without reservation, and the shallow indentation in the middle was also vividly displayed, and the desire in the horse butcher's heart was ignited.

As soon as Azguli picked up the fragrant pancreas, she felt that her delicate body was lifted up by the man.

The next moment, Azgul's slender and straight thighs were pulled away by the horse butcher, and when the hot firmness crashed into her body without hindrance, Azgul couldn't help but moan as hard as she could, and her soft delicate body slumped backwards, leaning softly into the horse butcher's arms.

By the bathtub, Liu Mingyu's eyes were flushed and silky, this was the first time she had witnessed a horse butcher and another woman at such a close distance, the silver scene made her heart like a deer hit, and her delicate body was as soft as cotton, and suddenly, Liu Ming felt a burst of heat in her lower body, and a scorching ** surging out~~
