Chapter Seventy-One: Prelude to the Great War

Because most of Wang Xu's troops were infantry, the marching speed was relatively slow! It took five days to travel smoothly all the way before arriving at the territory of Chen Guo......

In the afternoon of this day, when the red sun was in the sky, Wang Xu suddenly saw the outline of a small city faintly appearing in front of him. After a cursory observation, he immediately pointed from afar with the horsewhip in his hand: "Second brother, have you ever found out where the small city in front of you is?" ”

Wang Fei held a gun in his left hand and a whip in his right hand, and walked slowly forward. Hearing Wang Xu's inquiry, he couldn't help but glance at his hand, and then replied with a smile: "I have already inquired, the small city in front is called Chenting, as long as you pass here, it will be Xihua in less than two days to the south, and Changping to the east!" ”

"Hmmm! Okay, then let the sergeant speed up! It is estimated that it will soon catch up with the army of General Huangfu. ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves ahead, and when I looked back, there was a sentry horse galloping towards me.

"Report to the general, Gao Junhou just found traces of the army burying the pot to make rice, according to the temperature of the earthen stove, it is estimated that it is only half a day! As far as Gao Junhou observes, it should be General Huangfu's doing. ”

"Hmmm! I know, you immediately go to inform Gao Junhou, so that he should not be careless, and be careful that there are yellow scarves infested! ”

"No!"

Seeing the sentry galloping away, Wang Xu couldn't help but look at the sky, and after thinking about it in his heart, he immediately ordered: "All the soldiers march at full speed, be sure to meet the army before evening!" ”

When several heralds who were not far behind heard this, they immediately rode their horses and galloped wildly, and quickly passed on the order. The sound of galloping horses' hooves and shouts resounded throughout the army in a matter of moments!

"Drive!"

Seeing this, Wang Xu also gently clamped the horse's belly and drove the war horse to trot......

At sunset, the army of Huangfu Song finally slowly appeared in Wang Xu's sight.

Seeing the army that was busy camping in the village, Wang Xu immediately turned around and smiled: "These days, everyone is working hard, eating dry food every day, and the beak is about to fade out. Tonight, I will apply to General Huangfu to add a few meat dishes to everyone, and you should also have a good rest, and you will have enough spirits to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in the coming day! ”

Hearing this, the soldiers in the front row immediately let out a cheer in unison! They all shouted.

"Oh...... The general is wise! ”

"Haha! Finally there is meat to eat, and it's been three days since I last got a rabbit! ”

"General, do you have any wine......

Seeing that everyone was coaxing, Wang Xu suddenly laughed. "At the moment of the great enemy, do you still dare to drink? Be careful when you wake up and your head has already moved, and when this battle is over, I'll have a drink with you, as much as you want! ”

In the hearty laughter of the soldiers behind him, Wang Xu didn't say much, laughed and slammed the horse's belly, and whipped the horsewhip in his hand, and took the lead in rushing to the camp in the distance.

Wang Fei and Xu Shu were also in a good mood at the moment, looked at each other and smiled, and then rushed out. The afterglow of the setting sun reflects the heroic posture of the three prancing horses, which is particularly dazzling!

"Wait for me! Boss, and me! ”

Of course, the three of them will always be followed by a toothy and clawed Zhou Zhi......

Huangfu Song had already learned of Wang Xu's arrival from Gao Shun, who had arrived first, and was personally standing outside the gate of the camp to greet him at this moment.

Seeing Wang Xu's heroic posture of prancing horse from a distance, Huangfu Song's face was full of relief, and he couldn't help but sigh: "This Wang Xu is so young, but he is both wise and brave." Now that he is still alive and near, he has been tempered, and I have seen that between his walks, there is already a hidden wind of a general! In the future, he will be the minister of the country. ”

Hearing this, the rest of the generals also nodded in agreement!

One of them, a tall middle-aged man with a majestic face and a few short whiskers under his forehead, sighed even more: "Yes! If my son can be as capable as him, I am willing to live ten years! ”

But as soon as he spoke, Huangfu Song suddenly laughed. "Fu Xie, your son Fu Gan has some talent in literature, but it's better to forget about this battle! They are all ten years old, and they can't even hold a sword steadily, so they are literati among literati! ”

was ridiculed by Huangfu Song like this, Fu Xie was not angry, just shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Hey! My son doesn't know why, he just doesn't have the slightest interest in the art of war! No matter how you force him, he just refuses to learn! ”

Hearing the words of the two, Cao Cao, who was silent, couldn't help but laugh and said: "Wang Xu is not very human, if everyone in the world is such a talent, what use is there for us?" Moreover, I think Wang Xu also has many shortcomings, so you don't have to be arrogant. ”

However, Cao Cao did not continue, and stopped at the curious eyes of everyone, but just turned his admiring gaze to Wang Xu, who was galloping over......

"The last general, Wang Xu, led two thousand soldiers under his command to arrive!"

"Haha...... Good! I wonder if you've ever been well injured? As soon as he saw Wang Xu, Huangfu Song was in a good mood, and when he got off the horse, he immediately asked with concern.

"Healed! Although it is not possible to fight in battle for the time being, there is still no problem with general marching activities. ”

Hearing this, Huangfu Song suddenly nodded and said, "Hmm! That's fine, but you don't have to take too much risk in the future. You are young and talented, if you really die in my hands, I really don't know how to explain to your parents! ”

"Hmmm! Wang Xu remembered the general's teachings, thank you for the general's concern! ”

smiled at Huangfu Song, and Wang Xu didn't say anything more. Then he turned to the generals and greeted him.

"After a month's absence, looking at the demeanor of the monarchs, it is even more than the beginning!"

"Hahaha...... Where, it's your young hero, envy me and wait! ”

"Huh! The general's words are really too much, he is just a dime in the bottom, and he still needs more teachings from the generals in the future! ”

“……”

After some politeness, everyone gathered around and returned to the Chinese army's tent. After chatting casually about the current war situation, Huangfu Song saw that it was not early, so he ordered a military banquet and invited all the generals in the army to gather together to conspire with state affairs!

It's a pity that Huangfu Song governs the army very strictly, and he has the same food as the soldiers on weekdays, although this military banquet is a little better, it is not very good, and the most important thing is that he can't drink to help the fun!

However, everyone here is born in the military, and most of them are down-to-earth people, and some of them are good to eat, and they have no opinions on food. As for a few who will be very arrogant and domineering in the future, such as Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, because they have not yet developed that kind of high-ranking mentality, a humble dinner party ended in a happy one.

However, there are two exceptions, one of them is Xu Shu, although she was able to stay in the army because of her own martial arts and Wang Xu, but who would talk to the female relatives of her colleagues on such an occasion at this moment?

The other person is Zhou Zhi, who is nothing, neither a soldier nor a general. Although everyone has found this boy to be very clever and knows how to please the generals, they only regard him as someone who can occasionally be used to do some chores. Although he was able to have a small seat at the end of the big tent because of Wang Xu, he could only eat alone, and then squatted alone to draw circles, waiting for the banquet to end!

Of course, Wang Xu did not forget about his group of brothers and fought for a sumptuous dinner for them......
