After crossing the Yellow River, more than 2,000 people from Gao Fei's headquarters headed northeast, and after a day and a half of travel, they first arrived at Huai Cheng in Hanoi County. Huaicheng is the place where the Taishou of Hanoi County is located, a large city at the northern end of the Yellow River, although the market there cannot keep up with the prosperity of Luoyang, but it has become a transit point for the north to reach Luoyang, which can allow Gao Fei to get a good supplement in supplies.

Liaodong County is in the northeasternmost corner of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the long distance, for the existing troops, 400 war horses are still pitiful, Gao Fei has to use money to buy more horses, at least one for all soldiers, for the trip can save a lot of effort.

Gao Fei temporarily stationed the army outside the city, and he himself took Jia Xu, Xun You, Lu Heng, Zhao Yun and thirty other relatives into Huaicheng casually to buy horses, grain, cloth, medicinal herbs and other materials that he thought were necessary. When the Hanoi Taishou learned that Gao Fei was passing by here, he gave great help, and finally bought a lot of supplies at a low market price of 30 percent, and then sent people to buy some vehicles, mules, horses, and forage, so Gao Fei used less than 1,000 catties of gold, and a baggage army was formed.

The items that Huaicheng could buy were basically bought by Gao Fei, and the most bought of them was grain, and as long as he saw that there were sales, he would buy them. After being busy with these things, Gao Fei continued to go on the road with the army, Zhao Yun led two hundred cavalry to open the way in front, Hua Xiong led two hundred cavalry to escort the back of the team, and the rest of the soldiers either set up carriages or rode horses to escort on both sides of the convoy, and Jia Xu's clan all sat in the carriage and walked in the middle of the team.

Continuing to walk in the northeast direction, Gao Fei rode on the BMW given to him by Jia Xu, the black and shiny horse looked like a product from the dark abyss during the day, except for its blazing gaze, there was not a single stray hair on its whole body, the BMW was a BMW.

The sturdy body of the oolong foal was always kicking its hooves in dissatisfaction, as if complaining about the speed of the advance, and wanted to gallop on the official road with joy, but forced by the skillful handling skills of the rider on his back, he could only endure the dissatisfaction, panting roughly, and from time to time let out a long hissing in protest.

Gao Fei always rode an oolong horse to walk at the front of the convoy, and the two people behind him were superior strategists, Jia Xu on the left, Xun Yu on the right, and the cavalry team of Zhao Yun Kaidao on the official road in front of him, and the convoy behind him was loaded with a dazzling array of goods, which extended out for a long time, and the team of more than two thousand people seemed to be as many as seven or eight thousand people at first glance.

Walking along the official road, under the pavement of the official road, I don't know how many layers of gravel are padded and paved with several layers of soil, the road surface is repeatedly hammered by the stone rammer to be both strong and flat, and the horses walk on it, neither soft nor hard, relaxed and comfortable like walking. The trees and forests beside the road are full of insects and birds, the fields on both sides are boundless green, the sky is blue and deep, the dark red sunset in the west sky is gorgeous and intoxicating, and the south can already see a walled house with shadows and shadows, and the small candlelight of the stars is fluttering and flickering. Looking back at the road when I came again, it was already hidden in the mist of twilight, and the silhouette of the lush mountains became more and more eternal and deep in the afterglow of the sunset. With the help of horses, the group soon walked out of Hanoi County and entered the territory of Jizhou.

After entering the boundary of Jizhou, the group often encounters some scattered people, all of whom are refugees who have dragged their families and left their hometowns. Although the Yellow Turban was pacified, the remnants of the Yellow Turban continued to fight, and Goofy received news from the refugees that Julu County was being besieged by thieves, which made his heart suddenly heavy.

Gao Fei saw these refugees who were about to flow into Si Li, and thought about the turmoil that would occur in Si Li in the future, and his heart swelled with great benevolence. He asked the soldiers to gather all the refugees, divide the food for the refugees to eat, and hundreds of refugees gathered together and bowed down on both sides of the road to him in gratitude.

Xun You has been following behind Gao Fei, and after seeing this situation, he said to Gao Fei: "Lord, even if these refugees go to Sili, they will become slaves, Liaodong is sparsely populated, and we have enough food, so it is better to let these refugees follow the lord to Liaodong." ”

Gao Fei also had this intention for a long time, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, when he worked hard to pacify the yellow turbans in Hebei, but he did not have the ability to take care of them, at this time he already has this ability, if he takes in these refugees along the way, he will definitely be able to increase the population of Liaodong a lot.

He nodded and said to Xun You: "What Mr. said is reasonable, leave this matter to Mr. to handle, organize the refugees, those who are willing to go to Liaodong will follow the team, and those who are not willing to go to Liaodong will be given a day's dry food and let them fend for themselves." ”

Xun You arched his hand and said: "The lord is wise, and his subordinates will do it." ”

Gao Fei looked back at the slightly tired team, and ordered a simple camp to be set up in an open field nearby, bury the pot and make rice, so that everyone could rest and rest. This place is the junction of Wei County and Julu County, in order to know the situation ahead, he sent Bian Xi with a small team of scouts to find out the news.

After nightfall, Bian Xi returned from outside with ten scouts and went straight to Goofy's camp. In the camp tent, Gao Fei is gently holding the sable cicada into his arms, and the two of them have been a spring supper for several days, like glue and paint, and the love and honey that have never been there have made up for a trace of boredom in the process of marching.

"Lord Qi, Marquis Bian is back." The entourage who was guarding outside the tent shouted loudly in the tent.

Goofy tidied up a little and let Diao Chan sit beside him, while he sat there and shouted outside the tent, "Let him in!" ”

The roller shutter was lifted, Bian Xi stepped forward, and as soon as he entered the big tent, he arched his hand and said, "See the lord!" ”

"Excuse me, let's talk about the situation ahead!"

"Lord Qiyu, my subordinates have inquired clearly, it was the Yellow Turban Yu Party and some bandits who attacked Julu County, led by a person named Zhang Niujiao, there are almost more than 20,000 people, and they are attacking Gaunt Tao City, Jizhou Assassin Shi Gongsun Du led 5,000 troops to rescue, but was defeated by the thieves, and now Gongsun Du is taking the remaining more than 1,000 officers and troops to defend Gall Tao." Bian Xi told the news he inquired about one by one.

"Gongsun Du? Isn't this guy in Liaodong? Why did you run to Jizhou as a assassin? Wait a minute...... The history books seem to say that he once did the Jizhou Assassin History, and later Dong Zhuo went to Liaodong after entering Beijing. Well...... That horn seems to be the leader of the Montenegrin Army, right? It seems that the Montenegrin Army has just started and has not yet developed into a scale. Goofy thought slowly in his mind.

"Okay, I know, you go and call Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, and Lu Heng in, I have something to order." With the help of his familiarity with history, Gao Fei made a judgment in his heart and shouted to Bian Xi.

Bian Xi said "no", and then turned around.

"General, is there going to be a war?" Diao Chan stretched out her slender jade hand, gently grabbed Gao Fei's arm, and looked at Gao Fei with affectionate eyes, her eyes revealing great concern.

Gao Fei stretched out his index finger and gently scraped it on the bridge of Diao Chan's nose, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, don't worry about me, it's just some little thieves." I have quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Qiang rebellion in Liangzhou one by one, will I still be afraid of these little thieves? ”

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can a cheap concubine not worry about the general?" Diao Chan looked very moving, her eyes were filled with crystal tears, and she was about to cry.

"Don't cry, be happy, I'm an invincible general, I've come through the sea of swords, and nothing can stop me. Diao Chan, you go to the back tent and take a rest, I will discuss with you in a while. ”

Diao Chan nodded, slowly stood up, said "The concubine is waiting for the general in the back tent", and walked out towards the door of the big tent. As soon as she came out of the big tent, she saw Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhao Yun and others arriving together, so she bowed slightly, and said softly: "Everyone, the general is waiting in the big tent, please come in!" ”

Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhao Yun and others saw that Diao Chan was very humble, and the etiquette was also quite thoughtful, so they bowed to Diao Chan together, and said in unison: "Thank you, madam!" ”

Gao Fei sat in the big tent, and when he saw Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, and Lu Heng all coming, he raised his hand and signaled: "Sit down!" ”

Everyone thanked each other and sat down.

"Mr. Xun, have the more than 1,000 refugees been arranged?" Goofy immediately asked.

Xun You arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the refugees have been settled, as soon as everyone heard that the lord was willing to take them to Liaodong, they all stayed, and they also sang praises to the lord." ”

"Hehe, it seems that I bought the right food, if I knew that I would meet refugees, I would have bought more food when I was in Luoyang. I called everyone over, there is something important to order, there is a thief army of more than 20,000 people in front, is attacking the city of gall, Jizhou assassin Shi Gongsun Du is trapped in the city, if the city of gall is breached, I am afraid that it will affect the entire Jizhou, and the people will suffer more at that time. Therefore, I decided to defeat this group of anti-thieves while they were not very strong. "Goofy.

Zhao Yun stood up at the moment, hugged his fists and said: "Lord, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!" ”

Hua Xiong and Pang De also stood up at the same time, hugged their fists and said: "We and the other two are also willing to be pioneers, and I pray that the Lord will be perfect!" ”

Gao Fei raised his two hands, pressed them down, motioned for the three of them to sit down, and said softly: "There are more than 20,000 thieves, and our army only has 2,000 people, and a large amount of grain and grass in the team needs to be taken care of, so I can't put all my troops into battle, I am ready to use only 1,000 people, and the army in the city of Gall should be combined with the outside, and the thieves will be flanked, as long as the thieves can be confused and retreat, it will be a big victory." ”

Jia Xu saw that Gao Fei had already made up his mind, so he arched his hand and said, "Lord, then please give an order." ”

Gao Fei said: "This time I only took Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, Bian Xi and a thousand cavalry to go on the expedition, Mr. Jia, Mr. Xun, you temporarily lead the rest of the people, to the nearest city to garrison, and when I defeat the traitors, I will send someone to meet you, and we will go to Liaodong together." ”

"No!"

"Okay, Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, you go and inform Zhou Cang and Bian Xi, and gather a thousand light horsemen from Feiyu, let's rush to Gall Tao overnight."

"No!"
