~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the turn of autumn and winter, the White Wolf Mountain, the mountain is dark gray, the branches and leaves are zero, and it is full of gloom from a distance. Only the white wolf water that passes around the mountain is still reluctant to rush day and night. The reeds on both sides of the big river are in the sky, the flowers are like waves, looking up at the sky is high and the clouds are light, the distant mountains are on the line, and the wilderness is boundless. This scenery also has a different kind of beauty.

Under the sunset of the long river, between the autumn grass and reeds, a long and elegant shadow, the long sky - a row of "human" geese is flying from above.

A crisp voice came: "Liji Niangzi is thinking about the master again, right?" ”

Qianying looked back, her eyebrows were like Yuandai, her eyes were like horizontal waves, her face was like a hibiscus, and her body was like a fine willow.

Autumn is cold, and Li Ji has already put on a thicker skirt, covered with a crimson fur, but it is difficult to hide her graceful demeanor. Hearing this, he looked back and smiled: "I'm just missing my hometown...... Well, I think you're thinking about it, no one in White Wolf City knows that the city guard is surrounded by beautiful maids who can't leave for a while. ”

Nian Nu was ashamed, his blue eyes were covered with a layer of shame, and there was a faint sense of loss on his snow-white face that was different from ordinary people, and he muttered: "But this time I went to Liaodong, but the master didn't bring the little maid." ”

Li Ji smiled and stretched out her slender hand that was as bright as jade, and stroked the girl who had grown to her ear: "He went to Liaodong this time on official business, there are a lot of entertainment, and the itinerary is difficult, so naturally he can't take you with him." ”

Niannu raised his face, his eyes flowed, like rippling blue waves: "The little maid heard from the herdsmen from the north say that the master went to the tent of Su Fuyan to rob his relatives, I don't know if it's true?" ”

Li Ji raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "According to his usual temperament, it is really possible to do such a thing." ”

Niannu chuckled and said, "I don't know what the robbed bride looks like?" However, depending on the little maid's thoughts. No matter how much it can't compare to the lady who left Ji. ”

Li Ji covered her mouth with her sleeves, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily, your master's vision is still quite picky, and his general appearance may not be able to provoke his heroic deeds." ”

Nian Nu opened his mouth and was about to say something, but suddenly he looked straight to the south, where there was a mixed team of cavalry and servants, no less than three hundred people, and more than a dozen large carts, the ruts were extremely deep, and it was obvious that the goods on the carts were extremely heavy.

Lihime was also surprised. To the south is Youzhou Beiping County, there has never been only a caravan and no army, once there is an army, it means that it is the Youzhou army.

At this time, the men of the team apparently saw them as well, and suddenly several horsemen rushed out of the cavalry and galloped towards them.

Liji stretched out his hand to Niannu: "My hat." ”

"Oh, wait a minute." Niannu hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran to the cart not far away, all the items. It's all in the car. Several female guards seconded from Feiyan Ling greeted the riders, intending to stop them.

When Liji got the hat, Laiqi was stopped by the female horseman, but several of them entangled the female horseman. A horse ran straight for him. Li Ji calmly put on his hat and rode close to twenty paces, although it was a glimpse, but it was enough to amaze the comer.

By this time, the female horsemen had angrily gotten rid of the entanglement of the horses. Returning to the horse, he stopped the man—there was no need to stop him, for he was ten paces away and stopped himself. is staring、Presumptuously looking up and down Liji.。 Although Liji was covered in the hat from head to toe, the autumn wind was strong, blowing the gauze on the four sides of the hat, and her beauty was looming, showing her slenderness, which added to the temptation. I was stunned by the people who came.

The female guards were furious and shouted, "Who are you to dare to be so rude! ”

The person who came said with a smile: "The former general, Yi Hou, the fake festival governor You, and, Qing, and Ji Prefecture affairs Gongsun General Riding Duwei Gongsun Xu, I have seen a few ladies. ”

"Gongsun continued! It's General Gongsun's ......" Several female horsemen were taken aback, several of them were from the Hange Department, and they had heard a little about the basic situation in Youzhou, this Gongsun Xu was not the son of Gongsun Zhan, the general of the white horse?

Gongsun continued to laugh and said: "Yi Hou is my father. ”

Li Ji turned sideways, turned his back to Gongsun Xu, his cheeks were slightly biased when he heard the words, and he glanced at the other party through the corner of his eyes. But seeing that this grandson is still in his twenties, with a strong body and a handsome face, his face exudes arrogance from time to time. It's no wonder that he is now the lord of the four states and the number one prince in the world.

But Li Ji understands more clearly in his heart that the so-called affairs of the prefectures of Duyou, He, Qing, and Ji are just a name, but in fact this is not the case at all. In Ma Han's military conference room, there is a map of the general trend of the world. The territories occupied by the various princes in the world are clearly marked with different colors. Li Ji took a few glances, and remembered the Gongsun Zan forces bordering western Liaoning very clearly.

Only half of the state belongs to Gongsun Zhan, only one-third of Qingzhou, and Jizhou is all Yuan Shao's territory, even Youzhou, out of Lu Longsai in Beiping County, and the entire north of Liaoxi, are not under the control of Gongsun Zhan...... Gongsun Zhan's actual control of zhì's territory was not as good as Yuan Shao, who was the number one prince in the world at that time.

It's just such a sporadic and patchwork territory, and it's embarrassing to call it the affairs of Duyou, And, Qing, and Hebei states? This father and son are really just as arrogant!

Liji ignored it, beckoned to Nian Nu, and signaled to leave.

Gongsun Xu's eyes rolled on Nian Nu's face, his eyes lit up, and he secretly praised in his heart, it was really the lord and the maid, what a beautiful thing it should be to be able to accept all the lords and maids. Gongsun continued to bow his head at the moment, looked polite, and said in the gentlest voice: "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to inquire about how far the White Wolf City is from here." ”

Nian Nu was taken aback: "You, you want to take these horses to White Wolf City?" ”

Gongsun continued to hear Nian Nu's panic, and he was proud, and said with a smile: "Don't panic, the little lady is here with good intentions, and she will represent her father and form an alliance with Ma Duwei." ”

Niannu blurted out: "However, the master has left White Wolf City and gone to Liaodong for nearly two months. ”

Gongsun Xu's attention was focused on the other meaning revealed by this sentence, and he said happily: "It turns out that you are Ma Duwei's maidservant?" Hehe, that's good. Then this little lady must be ......"

Li Ji didn't wait for Gongsun to finish speaking, and a slight omission was considered a return gift, and then walked quickly to the car not far away.

Nian Nu stretched out his hand and pointed forward while following closely: "Go five miles further, and around a hill is the White Wolf City." ”

"Thank you, little lady." Gongsun continued to speak, but his eyes kept following the graceful shadow until he disappeared into the car.

Several female guards knew their identities, and it was inconvenient to give a face, so they could only escort away from Ji in a stupid manner.

At this time, those few came from the riding circle, squeezing their eyebrows and making eyes: "Childe, these two little ladies are really good!" Childe might as well have a mix of sizes. ”

Gongsun continued to laugh and said silently, "Have you heard that Ma Jinglong has a wife? ”

They glanced at each other and said, "No, I haven't heard that Ma Jinglong has a wife." ”

Gongsun Xu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "These two daughters must be his concubines and maids." ”

From the riders one by one laughed and said: "With Ji Xiang, but it is a beautiful thing to talk about among celebrities, not to mention that this time the son brought a high-ranking official and a generous gift to the horse Jinglong, so many benefits, can't it be exchanged for a mere Ji and a maid?" ”

Gongsun Xu listened to it, his heart was hot, he laughed, and drove back. In a happy mood, I feel a little regretful, this Ma Jinglong has not come back yet, I don't know how long it will take to hold those two lovely people in my arms!

……

Gongsun Chan finally sent someone. It's no wonder that this Yi Hou reacted slowly, the rise of White Wolf City was still in the second half of this year, and at that time, Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shaodou, and Liu Yu were fighting, and their eyes were all fixed on You, Ji, and Qing Zhuzhou, so can you take care of the obscure White Wolf City in Liaoxi behind you?

It wasn't until the battle between Yuan Shao and the Black Mountain Army that Gongsun Zhan's pressure was relieved, and the two armies refused to face each other off Ma Shui, and the battle situation stabilized. Then, in a very short period of time, he quickly annihilated Liu Yu and unified Youzhou (except for Liao). At this time, Gongsun Chan climbed to the last peak of his life. It was easy to take a breath and begin to notice a new force behind him, White Wolf City.

When the information about White Wolf City was presented to the Marquis of Yijing, I really didn't know it, and at a glance, everyone in the Youzhou Shogunate was called Miao. Among the four powerful figures in White Wolf City, the city guards the horse, which is actually the old department of the Youzhou Army; Riding Sima Zhao Yun, he is a white horse righteous rider; The white wolf Changtian Yu, a native of Yuyang, Youzhou, was once engaged in the Captain's Mansion of the Guardian Karasuma. It can be said that except for one Tai Shici, almost all of them are related to Youzhou, and even Yi Hou's old acquaintance.

In this way, it was easy to do, Gongsun Zhan immediately made a decision, and sent the chief Shi Guanjing as an envoy to White Wolf City to talk with Ma Han and strive to conclude an agreement in favor of Youzhou. At the same time, he sent his eldest son, Gongsun Xu, as a protector, and led 200 cavalry to escort Guan Jing into Liao. Gongsun Chan also had a useful intention to send his son with him, he was still very impressed by Ma Han's squad leader back then, and knew that this was a talent. Unexpectedly, this talent is more than that, in just one year, he has changed from a fugitive to a senior general, sitting in three cities and thousands of generals. Such a young talent should be exposed to his son more.

If Gongsun Chan knew that it was his son who had done the bad thing, he was afraid that he would regret this decision.

Guan Jing and Gongsun continued to visit, causing a great shock in White Wolf City, these two people represent Youzhou and Gongsun Zhan. At that time, regardless of the subject countries of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, including many tribes on the vast grasslands of Mobei for thousands of miles, the one who was really in awe was Gongsun Zhan, the general of the White Horse. At present, even Gongsun Chan has recognized White Wolf City, and sent his son and his subordinate chief of staff to pay a visit, which is really enough to give face.

The white wolf Changtian Yu and the riding Sima Zhao Yun, as old acquaintances, personally accompanied and entertained. Guan Jing and Gongsun Xu also visited the three cities of White Wolf, Guangcheng and Wencheng one after another, and went to the White Wolf Camp to watch the battalion soldiers review, and had an intuitive understanding of the strength of the White Wolf City.

Guan Jing privately said to Gongsun that it is worth and necessary to enter Liao this time, the strength of White Wolf City should not be underestimated, and the geographical location is extremely important. Regardless of whether the alliance is successful or not, Yuan Shao must not be allowed to pull Ma Han over, otherwise it will become a big disaster in Youzhou.

Gongsun Xu also thought so. Now, just wait for the return of the horseman.

On October 26, the White Wolf City guarded the horses and finally returned. (To be continued......)
