At noon, the sun was scorching, and the ground was steaming, and the ground that had been soaked in the middle of the rain last night was hard again. Such road conditions are suitable for rushing, but such weather is not suitable for roading.

It was such an unsuitable time to go on the road, but there was a long convoy walking on the official road between Qinghe and Jiangshui.

Oxen and mules pull carts, servants accompany them, and they are guarded on foot, stretching for miles. At the front, middle, and end of the convoy, there were eye-catching apricot yellow flags on the tips of the vehicles, some with a big word "grain" written on them, and some with an eye-catching word "Yuan".

It seems that this is Yuan Shaojun's grain transportation team.

That's right, this convoy escorted by 200 cavalry, 800 foot soldiers, and 2,000 servants is the grain and grass transportation team of the Jizhou Army. The escort officer is the military Sima Lu Xiang, and the accompanying civil official is Jizhou Beijia engaged in Peng Guotu.

Guo Tu originally went to Jieqiao with Yuan Shao and his entourage, but because Yuan Shao was in a hurry to go to the front line of Jieqiao, he couldn't wait for the logistical burden, so Guo Tu and Lu Xiang escorted grain and grass together and slowly went south.

Under the scorching sun, not to mention people, even cows and mules are all wet, and they can't stop drinking water. If it weren't for the official road close to the Qinghe River, the water source would be sufficient, and I am afraid that the water supply for livestock alone would be enough.

The soldier was angry, and the grain officer Lu Xiang also wanted to avoid the scorching sun at noon before going on the road, but Guo Tu thought that if he rested at this time, he would miss the lodging and would not be able to rush to Dongwu City (now Wucheng, Hebei) before dark. For the safety of grain and grass, it is necessary to enter Tobu Castle before sunset.

Although Lu Xiang was a grain officer, he was far inferior to Guo Tu in terms of position and status, so he naturally did not dare to disobey it, and he felt that what Guo Tu said was quite reasonable, so he had to order his subordinates to grit their teeth and fight for a while.

There was a sound of hooves in the distance, and it was the scout sent by the grain convoy to deliver the news.

"Report to Guo Zhi and Lu Sima, three miles ahead, there is an abandoned village, there are no common people in the village, but there is a passing ranger."

Lu Xiang is about thirty years old, his face is dark and thin, but his muscles and bones are strong, and he is wearing a cowhide armor, which is quite majestic. Of course, the price of this majesty is the whole body of the cowhide armor that was baked hot, wrapped in sweat, and the face was red. It's just that Lu Xiang has always been strict and self-disciplined in the army, and with Guo Tu by his side, no matter how uncomfortable he is, he has to endure it.

After hearing the scout's report, Lu Xiang's eyes turned to a chariot not far away. At this time, the bamboo curtain of the car was lifted, revealing a very well-maintained face, about forty years old, with long eyebrows and fine eyes, hooked nose and long beard.

Lu Xiang drove forward and arched his hand: "Guo Peng." ”

Well, the person in the car is Guo Tu, which can understand why he can still insist on walking in such a hot weather.

Guo Tu was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes froze, beckoned to the scout, and said lightly: "What is there to say?" ”

The scout did have the following to report, but Lu Xiang was almost hot out of "Xiang", his eyes were full of sparks, and he didn't pay attention to the scout's face at all, and after listening to the report, he turned his horse away, making it impossible for the scout to continue.

Guo Tu sat in the sunshade car, not afraid of being dizzy, and his observation has always been excellent, and he immediately noticed this detail.

The scout hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "That ranger has a white horse, which is extremely powerful, and Wu Changwang Liu wants to take away his horse and dedicate it to Sima." But that ranger was born extremely tall and had a strong bow, Wang Liusheng was afraid of being defeated, so he wanted to ask Sima Jia to send someone to ......"

Guo Tu didn't wait for Lu Xiang to answer, and directly vetoed: "The first priority at the moment is to hurry, don't make any extraneous branches, don't pay attention to that ranger." After the scout saluted in fear, he smiled at Lu Xiang and said, "What good horses have these strong men seen?" It's just that the coat color is better and the muscles and bones are stronger, so it is said that it is a 'divine horse'. Hehe, if they see the big horse of the lord, won't they be shocked! ”

Lu Xiang only responded, thinking about it, this world can be called a good horse, I am afraid that there is only the lord's Dawan divine horse, well, it seems that when he was in Luoyang, the red rabbit of Lu Wenhou was also good.

About half an hour later, the food convoy was almost past the abandoned village. Guo Tu was leaning on the wall of the car, his mind racing rapidly, thinking about the battle of the boundary bridge, how to take advantage of this big victory, in order to achieve the final victory of this battle that determined the overlord of the north.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came into my ears: "It's a pity that I didn't answer the horse." I've never seen such a tall and sturdy horse, with all white fur and no stray hair......"

Another said: "How can there be no miscellaneous hair? Didn't the horse have a tuft of silver hair on its forehead? However, with this handful of hair, it is even better......"

Guo Tu was excited, and when he heard the voice of the scout, he immediately knocked on the wall of the carriage, signaled to stop, and then lifted the curtain probe and beckoned to the two scouts who were passing by: "You two come over and tell me what the horse looks like." ”

Two soldiers hurriedly came over to salute, and when they asked, one of them was the scout Wu Chang Wang Liu. When Wang Liu carefully explained the shape of the white horse he saw, Guo Tu and Lu Xiang both showed surprise in their eyes, and immediately ordered to bring the ranger over.

Two scouts, plus four guards, a total of six cavalrymen, rushed into the village. After a short time, a horse suddenly galloped out, and it was the scout Wu Chang Wang Liu. But seeing that his face was full of horror, half of his face was stained with blood, and he tried his best to urge his horse to run wildly. As soon as he rushed out of the village, he waved his arms and hissed and shouted, "That ranger is so ruthless, he killed five of our brothers......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a pop, and a bloody, three-edged arrow protruded from his gaping mouth......

Almost at the same time that Wang Liu fell from his horse, a white shadow galloped out of the entrance of the village, as fast as lightning, and rushed towards the hillside ahead. It was so fast that almost no one could see what a knight on horseback looked like.

"It's the lord's Dawan Divine Horse!" Guo Tu and Lu Xiang shouted in unison. Although they didn't see the iconic silver mane clearly, the two of them were very familiar with the divine horse given to the lord by the imperial court, and they could be sure of it when they saw the heroic posture of running.

Why did the lord's horse fall into the hands of this man? It's too late to think about this question, and judging from this person's reaction, there must be an ulterior secret. The top priority is to capture him immediately, take back the treasure horse, and interrogate the reason.

Lu Xiang shouted, chased after the horse with a bow, and more than 30 hurriedly armored horses behind him followed. More than 30 riders rolled up a stream of yellow dust, chased after them, and bit hard.

This "ranger" who was hunted down is naturally a horseman.

He couldn't have imagined it, but he just wanted to avoid the scorching midday sun in this broken village, and when the sunset weather was cool, he could hit Yuan Shao's grain transportation team. Obviously, the two scouts who wanted to fight his treasure horse had already left, and somehow turned around and came back, and brought a few accomplices with him, threatening him to lead his horse to meet the main general.

Ma Han is so alert, as soon as he hears it, he knows that the origin of this horse must be suspicious. robbed the boss of the family's BMW and was recognized by his subordinates, can this ending be good? The end of leading the horse must be to fall into the encirclement, when the man is the sword, and I am the fish and meat...... This is a proper self-throwing net! If you didn't say it, copy the guy and run away!

As a result, a thrilling chase battle unfolded along the Qing River.
