Pang Tong was led away by Huang Chengyan, he trapped Yuan Shang with the fire phoenix array, and Yuan Shang used the power of Zuo Ci to trap him with the gossip array, and both of them finally escaped from the ascension to heaven, Yuan Shang and the world's wise man Feng Xiao's first contest ended in such a hurry, no one took advantage of anyone, and no one suffered more than the other party, fifty-five points, it was a tie.

After Pang Tong left, Yuan Shang and Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Deng Chang, Pang De and others immediately returned to Bingzhou, and stationed in Hejian, waiting for the soldiers and horses of other branches to gather before returning to Bingzhou together.

In the remaining period of time, the troops and horses began to return to Bingzhou one after another, and according to the instructions stationed in the river, most of the troops arrived safely, but each unit was damaged, but after all, the strength of the Yuan army was there, even if it was the head of Cao Liu's joint efforts, and the hasty escape, the various departments also counterattacked according to their own conditions, so that the Jingzhou army and the Cao army did not hesitate to go back, they should let them have some blood, but also let them have some blood.

A few days later, the spies in the south of the border sent back the news that Sun Quan in Jiangdong raised troops to attack the four counties in the south of Jingzhou, but the Jingzhou army saw through, Zhuge Liang led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others to return to Jingzhou, personally sat in the town and dispatched, and designed to repel Sun Quan's army.

It wasn't until this news reached Yuan Shang's ears that Yuan Shang's heart was completely balanced, both himself and Cao Liu suffered losses, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan wanted to eat ready-made in the back, if he succeeded, the sullen breath in Yuan Shang's chest was estimated to suffocate himself to death, after all, he was not a big-bellied person.

After getting the battle report, Yuan Shang showed a rare smile on the corner of his mouth for a long time, and this smile fell in the eyes of Deng Chang, who was with him, making the old man a little confused, after all, Yuan Shang met Zhou Yu at the beginning, only he and Sima Yi and a few other people knew, and Deng Chang, who was originally in Jizhou, didn't know the inside story of Lu Dao at all.

"Let's fight with Cao Liu, success or failure. I don't see any expression on your face, how come you are blind now that you know that Dongwu was repelled by the Jingzhou army...... Aren't you kid stupid by Pang Tong's Fire Phoenix Array? ”

The smile on Yuan Shang's face was still undiminished, he turned his head, pointed at Deng Chang enough, and then said, "You come here...... I'm telling you. ”

Deng Chang farts and ears in the past, but saw Yuan Shang gently lift back, kicked him staggered, and then said happily: "This kick is considered to give you a long memory, do you know the way?" Don't ask what you shouldn't. Don't ask if you shouldn't, it'll be annoying. ”

Deng Chang scolded and fluttered his buttocks, but he was still very well-behaved and did not continue to inquire. I have been with Yuan Shang for so many years, he knows Yuan Shang's character very well, what he is willing to say to you, generally you don't ask him, he will finish telling you like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, if he doesn't want to say it, you have to ask, he is generally very accustomed to using his fists and feet to people you understand. It doesn't matter if you're an old man or a child.

Respect the old and love the young. Yuan Shang doesn't seem to know each other very well since he was a child. It is estimated that Yuan Shao deliberately did not teach him when he was alive.

After opening this page, Deng Chang immediately changed the topic and said to Yuan Shang: "That... As of yesterday, the soldiers and horses that we should have withdrawn have been withdrawn one after another. At present, they have been placed in the east and west camps outside the city by the Taishou of Hejian, resting and recuperating, and waiting for your next instructions, my lord. What do we do now? It is to rectify the old department, mobilize Hebei soldiers and horses, and go south again to take revenge. Still is...... Back to Jizhou? ”

Yuan Shangchang sighed, thought for a while, and said: "Let's go back to Jizhou first, Liu Bei's power is now in full swing, Cao Zhi's kid is assisted by Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xiahoudun, Cao Ren and others, and he basically grasps the power of Zhongzhou, let's go over now, even if we win them, the loss is really too big, not the situation I want, the top priority, I still have to wait for the opportunity and wait and see how it ......changes."

Deng Chang sighed when he heard this: "The problem is that Cao Cao is dead, and Guanzhong has also fallen under our control, if we just evacuate like this, it will be a pity, in case Cao Zhi and Liu Bei are full of wings and develop in the future, it will be a huge threat to us!" ”

Yuan Shang shook his head and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, the four states of Hebei don't have to be in the past now, they want grain and food, they want people, and they want soldiers to have soldiers, not to mention that the fertile land of Guanzhong is also under my control, Liu Bei and Cao Zhi develop one point, we can develop three points, the further we delay, the bigger the gap between us and them will become... Also, tomorrow I will issue a military order for me, so that Mr. Fu Zhu will lead Ma Dai, Pang De, Ma Tie and others to Xiliang Fumin in my name, and completely bring the northwest border into my control, it is best to be able to marry the Qiang people, and it will not be of great use in the future! ”

Deng Chang nodded in agreement, and then seemed to think of something, and said strangely: "Why don't you let Ma Teng and Ma Chao go?" In terms of prestige, these two people seem to have a higher name than those few, right? ”

Yuan Shang smiled slightly, and said: "It's because of the high prestige that I want to keep them by my side, within the scope of my control, if they go back to Xiliang, if I can't control it, won't there be a stubble again?" Ma Teng and Ma Chao are the leaders of the Xiliang Army, and the two of them are by my side, so Ma Dai and them will be more loyal to do things for me, understand? ”

Deng Chang nodded when he heard this, and bowed his hand: "The lord is really bad." ”

"Fuck off, what kind of yin damage, this is called power technique, you know a fart!"

Speaking of this, he saw that Yuan Shang suddenly remembered one thing and said, "Is Sima Yi back....... you?" ”

When Deng Chang heard this, he sighed, shook his head, and said, "It's not ....... yet."

"No news at all......."

Deng Chang shook his head and sighed: "No, I don't know what the situation is with Lu Dao." ”

Yuan Shang gritted his teeth and instructed Deng Chang: "Order Tian Feng, let him send all the elite spies in Hebei to find Sima Yi's whereabouts fiercely, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die!" He was chopped into stuffing by the Jingzhou army, and he also had to buy me two meat buns back! Got it? ”

Deng Chang shook his head when he heard this, and sighed: "The old man is just going to pass on his life, but my lord, I want to tell you first, Mr. Sima doesn't seem to have any soldiers and horses around him, and he is wearing your handsome clothes, and the soldiers are in chaos, not to mention meat stuffing." It is estimated that it is possible that he will be beaten to ashes now... You'd better be prepared. ”

When Yuan Shang heard this, he opened his mouth, as if he wanted to scold Deng Chang, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Deng Lao'er's words were not rough, so he had to sit down helplessly.

"I understand your words, but you don't understand, even if his death is much greater than his vitality at the moment, I will do my best to find him."

When Deng Chang heard this, he sighed: "Because he is your mastermind? ”

"And because he's my friend."

“……………….”

*********************************

A wonderful maple forest. Under the irradiation of the sun, it is slightly reddened, which is extraordinarily beautiful, simple and vicissitudes, reflecting the beauty of the sunset, making people linger and intoxicated.

Next to the maple grove is a small town, which is next to the maple grove on the left and a winding mountain on the right. The mountains are mostly short and uninterrupted, but they are adjacent to each other, and there is a subtle sense of majesty.

This town is called Qingfeng Town. It is located in a remote area, few people come, the people are simple, and the people mostly make a living from farming. Although it is a poor land, fortunately, there are few people and many lands, and the family is not worried about food and clothing.

Since the Yellow Turban Uprising. Since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, wars have broken out all over the world, but because the Qingfeng Array is located in the mountains, it is a barren land, and the roads are rugged, so it has never been subjected to military rebellion.

However, today's Qingfeng Array seems to have ushered in an uninvited guest, a young general with a silver body in silver armor, a red robe on his shoulders, and a hungry yellow and thin young general, Shi Shiran came here, although his clothes are bright, but they are extremely dirty, plus his face is full of sores, and there is only a horse accompanying him, just from these can be seen that he is a complete distressed household.

This victim was none other than Sima Yi, who had been separated from Yuan Shang and others, and played clever tricks to repel Huang Zhong.

At this time, Sima Yi had not eaten for several days.

On the sheep intestines in the town, Sima Yi walked slowly and swaying, although the sun in the sky was shining, but his heart was full of fear.

Because, he is lost.

For several days, he has been lost in the mountains, Sima Yi has been fleeing in a hurry, lest he run into the Jingzhou army and Cao Bing, he has no dry food, and no bow and arrow hunting, so he can only rely on eating some grass roots and bark or something to live, although it is not as heroic as the 25,000-mile long march in later generations, but it is almost the same.

There were hardly any people on the roads of the town, only three or five children of seven or eight years old running back and forth with laughter on their faces, playing hide and seek, and it was clear that most of the adults in the village and town should have gone to the fields to cultivate.

Sima Yi's hungry green eyes stared at the children, he smiled vicissitudes, and then led the horse to the children's side, beckoned to them, and said, "Hey, you little cubs...... Come, little kid, uncle has something to ask you! ”

Several children were playing enthusiastically, and suddenly saw a strangely dressed stranger who had never seen them greet them, and they all looked a little cramped, but after all, the Qingfeng Array was simple and simple, and these children were all childish, so they just hesitated a little, and walked over to Sima Yi.

Seeing the children coming, Sima Yi held back his hunger and smiled at them, but his mental state at the moment was really not good, and this smile was like crying, which was really heartbreaking.

"Children, my uncle is from a foreign country, he is lost, and I don't know where this is, which of you can tell my uncle?"

Among the children, one of the older boys hesitated, but then stood up first, saying, "Are you a soldier?" ”

Sima Yi nodded and said, "Well, it's kind of ......."

"Then we won't tell you."

Sima Yi raised his eyebrows and said curiously: "Why don't you tell me?" ”

"My mother said that there are no good things to be soldiers in these years, they are all beasts......."

Sima Yi's face suddenly crossed and smiled helplessly.

"Good boy, what your mother said makes sense, but it's not all right, although these years are chaotic, but there are good and bad soldiers, you said that some soldiers are like beasts, yes, that's right! But it's not all, like me, I'm not a brute! ”

The children blinked their big eyes and looked at Sima Yi's dirty face seriously.

"What do you have to prove that you're not a brute?"

Sima Yi thought for a moment.

Then he took out a small Hidden Arrow from the horse's pocket and handed it to the child.

"Have you ever seen the brute who gave you a gift?" Sima Yi laughed.

The older child took the Pocket Arrow, and his eyes lit up.

In these years, iron tools are extremely precious, it can be said that they are extremely scarce, if in terms of preciousness, even gold can not be compared to iron tools, Sima Yi's small sleeve arrow, the arrow is made of iron, although it is very small, but for these children in the countryside, it is a very valuable gift, and the sleeve arrow is extremely exquisite, very popular with children.

The children hurriedly formed a circle, carefully looking at the sleeve arrows in the hands of the big boy, and they all let out a sigh of envy and admiration.

Sima Yi looked at them with a smile and said, "Now that I know the Dao, I'm not a beast, right?" ”

The big boy looked up and smiled embarrassedly.

"Uncle, you're a good person."

A sleeve arrow is regarded as a good person by others, and the people here are indeed simple.

"Kid, what is this place?"

"This is Qingfeng Town." The big boy replied very seriously.

Sima Yi nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Qingfeng Town, what realm does it belong to?" ”

This question is obviously beyond the comprehension of these children, what is the so-called land boundary, there is no concept in their minds at all, but seeing that all the children are at a loss, they blink at Sima Yi in confusion, very innocent.

"Well....... Sima Yi shook his lips and said in a different way: "So, you tell me, who does this place belong to now?" Which way are the princes...... It's who cares! …… That is, who calls the shots! Who has the final say? ”

Children, you look at me, I look at you, and then suddenly they all suddenly all of a sudden, Fu Lingzhi shouted at Sima Yi in unison.

"The village chief has the final say!"

Sima Yi's face suddenly showed a musty expression, and it seemed that he had to ask a different question.

"Well, children, your annual tax ....... is food! Except for a part left in his own family, who will give the rest to? Kindness? ”

Obviously, the child understood this sentence, and then saw the big boy tiptoe happily and said, "I know the way, I know the way...... Many years ago, it was handed over to a general surnamed Zhang, and the grain belonged to him, and then a man surnamed Cao came, and the grain belonged to him, but the general surnamed Zhang was responsible for collecting it......... The person surnamed Liu is very good, and the grain he has harvested is more than half less than before......."

Sima Yi frowned when he heard this, and pondered carefully: "Zhang, Cao, Liu... Zhang, Cao, Liu...... Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei...... Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei......"

Speaking of this, Sima Yi suddenly trembled all over, and said to himself in horror: "Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei...... This is the territory of Wancheng, close to Jingzhou...... Liu Bei's boundary... Holy shit, Lao Tzu fucking went backwards~! (To be continued......)
