The blue waves are clear, and the sky is cloudless.

On the surface of the East China Sea near Qingzhou. A fleet of ships is sailing, and the target is Youzhou. The phoenix cow flag waving in the wind on the bow of the ship is very conspicuous, this is the fleet of the first city in the world, and the passengers on board are Zilong and his flying wing battalion.

On the big ship at the front of the fleet, a young white-robed military general was leisurely blowing the sea breeze on the deck, his nose was like a hanging gall, his eyes were like stars, his eight-foot body was matched with a handsome and tough face, and a gentle smile on his lips, which made people unexpectedly feel like a spring breeze.

Although this trip to Youzhou was to lead the expedition, and the opponent was also a strong team that could fight well, this white-robed young general did not see the slightest nervousness on his face, but he was as calm as if he was going out to play, and there was still some eagerness between his eyebrows.

Zilong's demeanor is heartbreaking!

Behind Zilong, Elder Qianluo, dressed as a foreigner, was standing in the shade of the boat with a bitter gourd face, looking at Zhao Yun's figure not far away, Elder Qianluo couldn't help but sigh.

"This righteous brother of the city lord of Aniu has an extraordinary bearing and is quite easy-going, but has he never heard of the power of the Beiping Army? It is good to lead an army into battle without fear. However, if someone tells me in advance that there are only 500 cavalry in my flying wing battalion, it is better not to go to Youzhou. Isn't Ah Niu worried about the misfortune of his sworn brother in Beiping? ”

In fact, this matter did not appear until Qianluo was on the ship when the Flying Wing Battalion list was put on the ship, but he had no time to protest, and Ah Niu did not show up at the dock at all.

Qianluo shook his head, looked at the sun, hesitated, or walked towards Zhao Yun slowly, and after coughing to attract Zilong's attention, Qianluo said: "Young man, did the city lord of Aniu tell you, what are you doing in Youzhou?" ”

Zhao Yun turned his head, his handsome face was full of Hexi's smile, and he said in surprise: "Elder Qianluo, when we go to Youzhou this time, aren't we fighting with Gongsun Zhan's Beiping army?" Is there any secret mission that cannot be achieved? ”

As a recognized general, Zhao Yun has a lingering elegance in addition to the unique masculinity of a general, and the fierceness and elegance are perfectly combined in his body. Zilong's humility and politeness made Qianluo feel a little kind to him, but now after hearing Zilong's answer, Qianluo couldn't help but groan in his heart.

Frowning, Qianluo couldn't help but blurt out: "Is it just the people under your command?" Zilong knows that Gongsun Chan is constantly recruiting troops in Beiping, and now his strength should be more than 50,000! ”

Zilong smiled, "I know, the fourth brother has already told me." The task of the Flying Wing Battalion is to deal with the most powerful Baima Yicong in the Beiping Army, as for the other troops of the Beiping Army, I believe that the Wuhuan warriors will have a way, and the cavalry should have a great advantage against ordinary infantry. ”

Seeing Zhao Yun's extremely surprised appearance. Qianluo almost fainted, "Do you think Bai Ma Yi is very easy to deal with with three thousand people!" Our Wuhuan tribes have fought with the Beiping army no less than 30 times, and the strongest Wuhuan warriors still have a certain advantage over the infantry of the Beiping army, and they have won a few battles, but as long as Bai Ma Yi is dispatched, we will be defeated immediately!

You have not personally witnessed the terrible obedience of the white horse, the three thousand white horses are simply like the devil, and tens of thousands of Wuhuan men have died under their sabers and bayonets. It is as fast as the wind, as slow as a forest, as plundering as fire, and as immobile as a mountain......"

At the end, Qianluo concluded categorically: "Your five hundred cavalry is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of three thousand white horse righteous servants, and you may not even be able to withstand their two rounds of impact!" ”

Zilong was still smiling, and said very seriously: "Thank you Elder Qianluo for your concern, I won't know if I can resist it or not, but there is one thing Zilong must correct you: this time the Flying Wing Battalion poured out, and the number of soldiers who went to Youzhou was 554, not the five hundred people you mentioned, this difference is very big." ”

Qianluo wanted to hit his head on the deck, he said this, firstly, because he had a good impression of Zilong and didn't want him to die for no reason; Second, Qianluo also hoped that through Zhao Yun's mouth, Ah Niu would make the decision to increase his troops as much as possible, so as to increase the probability of winning against Gongsun Zhan.

What he didn't expect was that Zhao Yun didn't seem to know what a terrifying enemy he was about to face and what a difficult situation he might fall into, could this be the so-called "ignorant fearless"?

The poor Taran Elder stomped his foot heavily, he was completely speechless, but there was one more thing he wanted to know. "Zilong went on an expedition, such a big thing, why didn't the city lord of Aniu come to send it, where did he go? Isn't he going to go to Youzhou after he sent you as a representative? ”

Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said, "The fourth brother has something to do, and he left the territory last night. Elder Qianluo doesn't have to worry, when the fourth brother is busy with the matter at hand, he will rush to Youzhou to meet us. ”

Qianluo relieved himself a little, glanced at Zhao Yun again, sighed and left slowly.

Seeing Qianluo's staggering back disappear into the cabin, the smile on Zilong's face disappeared, and he whispered to himself: "Elder Qianluo has no confidence in us so much, presumably that Bai Ma Yicong is really powerful, otherwise the Wuhuan tribe alliance will have no reason to be frightened." ”

Zilong's eyes suddenly became warm, for Zilong, it was a huge challenge to fight against Baima Yicong, and Zhao Zilong, who was full of courage, would lose confidence in the face of a harsh challenge! Zilong can't help but look forward to the upcoming showdown soon.

"Whether it is the Baima Yicong of the Beiping Army who is strong, or the Flying Wing Battalion of the Fengxiang Army who can fight, let the facts prove it!"

After some of the enthusiastic Qianluo returned to his cabin, he carefully recalled the matter of Feng Xiang's dispatch to Youzhou from beginning to end, and was still full of suspicions.

"With a cavalry force of more than 500 people, any of our Wuhuan tribes can send several times as many cavalry, it seems that this time the flying wing battalion of Fengxiang City is afraid that it will be handed over to Youzhou. I don't understand what the Lord of Aniu City is thinking in his head, it's okay not to send Juyi's troops over, even those world-famous heroes are firmly staying in Fengxiang City, sneaking into Beiping City when necessary, it shouldn't be difficult to set fire to create chaos, and it's good to assassinate the important generals of the Beiping Army! ”

In the eyes of the Wuhuan people, if Gongsun Zhan's body can be broken into ten thousand pieces, it is naturally the best ending, and the assassination of Wang Yue and others is likely to have miraculous results, but for Ah Niu, it is not in the interests of Feng Xiang to do so.

Feng Xiang was invited by the Talan tribe to send troops to Youzhou to confront the powerful Beiping army, which was really helpless for Ah Niu. Ah Niu didn't have a head to think that the Fengxiang army had the ability to cut down the princes of one side, Gongsun Zhan, and the princes with the strongest force in Youzhou were not so easy to deal with.

Even if there is a chance to kill Gongsun Zhan, Ah Niu will never do that, therefore, Wang Yue and the others did not dispatch, the Dark Flower Martial Master also stayed in the territory, and the people sent by Feng Xiang to Youzhou, except for Zhao Yun's Flying Wing Battalion, there was only Ah Niu, the lord.

Here's why:

First, Feng Xiangjun entered Youzhou, under the banner of "mediating the dispute between the Beiping Army and the Wuhuan tribe", as if the referee on the field could not score a goal, and the people who had no reason to persuade him to fight also followed and knocked one of them to the ground!

Secondly, Gongsun Zhan is also an official of the Han Dynasty, the identity of Beiping Taishou and Duting Marquis, his status is not low, his official position comes from the imperial court canonization, not Dong Zhuo's edict, nor is it an official position like Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, full of gold. In the battle against Dong Zhuo, Gongsun Zhan was also one of the princes of the Eighteen Towns, so such a person is by no means something that Feng Xiang can move lightly.

Third, Qingzhou Fengxiang City is extremely famous in the NPC world, and Ah Niu's benevolence and kindness are even more talked about by many NPCs. "In order to mediate the dispute between the warring parties, he did not hesitate to risk his life and went to the northern frontier", which also seems to be consistent with the style of a certain city lord who liked to "do good" in the past. However, if Ah Niu does not know what it means to stop in moderation, "doing good" is likely to be accused of "doing evil" - joining forces with the northern alien race to kill the heavyweight officials of the Han Dynasty!

Ah Niu had carefully discussed this matter with Pang Tong and Chen Gong respectively, and this scale was difficult to grasp.

The most ideal result is that Feng Xiang mediates and makes Gongsun Zhan understand that it is not a way to continue such a confrontation, so as to return the detained Wuhuan merchants' goods, and the Beiping army and the Wuhuan people each take a step back, and there are steps to go down.

This result is in the best interest of Fengxiang. However, Ah Niu also knew that it was very difficult to do this with Gongsun Zhan's gritted teeth against the alien races in the north.

Gongsun Zhan's position is only a mere guard, but he has repeatedly openly refused to give face to the state pastor Liu Yu, which shows that his temperament is extremely proud. The fault of this conflict with the Wuhuan clan was Gongsun Zhan. But he not only refused to detain the goods, but also disdained Liu Yu's mediation, showing his tough guy nature. In the long-term confrontation with the Wuhuan coalition army, the Beiping army won more and lost less, which invisibly boosted Gongsun Zhan's morale. When the army was arrogant and self-contained, and the troops had won many battles and were in good shape, how could Gongsun Chan take the initiative to return the confiscated goods?

On the Wuhuan side, most of them were involved in this war out of righteous indignation, and the contempt of the Beiping Taishou for the Wuhuan people made these grassland men deeply ashamed, and they suffered heavy losses in many battles with the Beiping army.

"Help the Wuhuan tribes achieve an undisputed victory, wash away the shame that Gongsun Chan inflicted on the Wuhuan people, and force Gongsun Chan to give in!"

This has almost become Feng Xiang's only choice!

When the Flying Wing Battalion boarded the ship from the town and was about to cross the sea and go straight to Youzhou, Gongsun Zhan, the lord of Beiping City, convened the generals and strategists under his command to discuss the matter, and the target was naturally the Wuhuan coalition army outside the city.

The Beiping Army has already won many victories and killed a large number of Wuhuan people, and according to the experience of the Beiping Army in fighting against the ethnic minorities in the north, the Wuhuan people, who knew that there was no hope of victory, should have retreated a long time ago. However, there were more and more Wuhuan troops in Beiping, and some Wuhuan tribes wandering in the depths of the prairie also came to Youzhou after getting the news.

Gongsun Chan has a heroic appearance, a loud voice, and is witty and eloquent, with a strong personal charm, and the brave Gongsun Chan has great prestige in the Beiping Army. Gongsun Zhan, who was sitting on the couch, said hatefully at this time: "These Wuhuan people are crazy, even if we don't go out of the city to kill them, can they still ride a war horse to attack Beiping?" ”

All the generals present laughed, everyone knew Gongsun Zhan's temperament, and it was very appropriate to describe it as "fierce and hateful", whenever he heard the news of a tribal rebellion, he would be furious, and gather troops and horses to immediately go out to fight. It seems that there is some deep hatred with those Hu people. When Gongsun Chan fought with the Hu people, he also chased and fought as hard as possible to create as many killings as possible, so the Hu people everywhere were very afraid of Gongsun Zhan.

Gongsun Zhan's cousin Gongsun Yue said: "The Hu people are good at guerrillas, and our Han army is better at positional warfare. During these days, there should be more than 10,000 Wuhuan people who died in our hands! ”

"That's for sure! Gathering the warriors of various tribes here and confronting us for a long time, the safety of their tribes is not to be discussed, presumably those livestock have eaten up all the water and grass nearby, and the Wuhuan people should not be able to last long. The one who answered was Yan Gang, the general under Gongsun Zhan.

The gratifying momentum of the Beiping Army's successive victories made most of the soldiers under Gongsun Zhan's account optimistic about the outcome of the battle, and their contempt for the Wuhuan people was very obvious. Among the people, only one person was silent with a worried face, it was Guan Jing, the long history under Gongsun Zhan's account, which was very abrupt.

Gongsun Zhan noticed Guan Jing's feelings, and said loudly: "Our army's victory is in sight, why is Shiqi (Guan Jingzi) worried? ”

Guan Jing stood up and said solemnly: "This battle has made Beiping pay a heavy price, and I don't think that the Wuhuan people have been slaughtered by us, judging from the current situation, even if we win this war, it can only be a miserable victory." ”

Gongsun Chan was a little displeased, and asked indifferently, "How can you see it?" ”

Guan Jing said: "The reason why the Wuhuan people have suffered repeated defeats but do not give up is very simple: for them, this war is related to the dignity and honor of all Wuhuan people, for which they are willing to pay a huge price for human lives and huge economic losses. The determination of the Wuhuan people to fight this battle is unprecedentedly firm, and most of the outside world has sympathy for the Wuhuan people!

During this period of war, on the surface, we have a clear upper hand, killing and wounding a large number of Wuhuan people, but our army has also lost more than 3,000 sergeants, those are all elite soldiers who have followed the adults for a long time, and the recruits need to go through how many fierce battles to have that level? Those Wuhuan tribes far away from Youzhou traveled thousands of miles from the ground to help and went to Beiping to fight a decisive battle with our army, their troops fought more and more, and we fought less and less!

In addition, although the continuation of the war will have a severe impact on the livestock industry on which the Wuhuan tribes depend, and even some of them will not survive the harsh winter, our economic and financial losses will be enormous. The Wuhuan people are all cavalry, they have no way to take Beiping City, but they can divide their troops to plunder the towns scattered everywhere, plunder materials, kill civilians, and the losses caused are incalculable.

Due to the continuous war, the commercial and trade activities in Beiping almost came to a standstill, and no caravans dared to come to Beiping to trade, which affected the lives of the people. Ten days ago, there was already a situation of people fleeing in Beiping, and as the war continues, this situation will become more serious!

Even if we win this war in the end, the loss of troops, population, economy, and goods will be incalculable, and we will not be able to get any compensation from the Wuhuan people, and we will be greatly damaged. This war could have been avoided, and it was no longer right for our soldiers to mistake the Wuhuan merchants for thieves, and it would not have been ...... if the Lord had accepted Lord Liu's mediation and returned their goods."

"Shut up!"

The more Gongsun Chan listened, the more unpleasant he became, and finally couldn't help but interrupt Guan Jing's words with a violent drink.

This remark clearly meant to blame Gongsun Zhan, and he almost didn't directly say the words "It's all your fault". Gongsun Chan had never been a magnanimous person, and with his almost instinctive dislike and dislike for the Hu people, he didn't think there was anything wrong with not returning the Wuhuan people's goods.

"Hu people don't have a few good things!"

This is Gongsun Zhan's mantra, it is said that his mantra was another sentence at first: "Hu people don't have a good thing", and finally followed Guan Jing's advice, changed it a little tactfully, and the attack area was a little narrower.

Guan Jing stood there with a red face, Gongsun Zhan's might made this Changshi quite uneasy, but Guan Jing's upright and stubborn was also notoriously stubborn, he had to fulfill the responsibility of Changshi, and try his best to pull Gongsun Chan back from the wrong path.

"My lord, there are millions of Wuhuan in number, and it is really unwise to form a blood feud with them! Youzhou Prefecture and Liaodong Gongsun Du are all eyeing each other, and the main force of the Yellow Turban Army has entered Youzhou with unclear intentions, surrounded by strong enemies, if the Beiping Army is too bad, other forces will rise up and attack it, and this battle cannot continue!

In order to save the land of Beiping from being poisoned by the flames of war, and to save the people of Beiping from being displaced, please also ask your lords to return the Wuhuan people's property and goods, and stop the war! ”

After saying that, Guan Jing knelt down with tears streaming down his face, and touched the ground with his forehead, and all the generals present changed color.

Guan Jing's meticulous analysis of this battle opened a window for the generals under Gongsun Zhan's tent that they had never paid attention to, even if they may not fully agree with Guan Jing's views, but they still greatly admired the loyalty of this hard-headed official.

It's a pity that Gongsun Chan saw that Guan Jing actually mentioned "returning the Wuhuan people's property and goods, and ceasing to stop the war", which in Gongsun Zhan's view, was simply admitting defeat and surrendering. In this way, Gongsun Zhan, who was furious, couldn't listen to Guan Jing's advice at all, and Guan Jing's bitter advice was naturally regarded by him as an ulterior motive.

"Bastard, he actually makes false accusations, alarmists, and disturbs the hearts of our army! Come on, drag me out, cut it! ”

If it weren't for everyone's hard persuasion, Guan Jing's head would have moved immediately.

This long history is an upright person, and this encounter is out of a public heart, and many of the generals in Beiping have taken the lead to help him save his life, including Gongsun Yue and Yan Gang.

"Today, I will send you the head of the head, and if you dare to talk nonsense and disturb the hearts of our army, I will not be spared!" After Gongsun Chan threw down this sentence, he brushed his sleeves away.

Naturally, this discussion ended without a hitch, and the confrontation between the Beiping Army and the Wuhuan Coalition Army continued.

When the fleet arrived in Port-au-Prince, it was three days later.

Port-au-Prince is located more than 100 miles southeast of Beiping, not far from the war zone. Because the Wuhuan people put on a posture of burning jade, constantly dividing their troops to plunder and kill everywhere, as strong as Gongsun Zhan did not dare to divide his troops lightly, the Beiping army was concentrated in important cities, therefore, Port-au-Prince, which was hundreds of miles away from Beiping, seemed relatively calm.

The Peiping Army had actually long since abandoned the vast township area.

When the Wings Battalion appeared, Port-au-Prince had a detachment of less than 100 Wuhuan cavalry waiting for them, all of whom were warriors of the Taran tribe and had stayed here on purpose. When they saw the phoenix bull flag hoisting in the fleet, the men of the Taran tribe cheered one after another.

They had already received the news in advance, this fleet was a friend of the Taran tribe, the troops of Fengxiang City!

When they saw Qianluo, the warriors of the Taran tribe saluted one after another, and this elder had a very high prestige in the tribe. Qianluo directly called a clansman over, gave a few words, and the clansman flew on his horse and left in the dust.

After doing this, Qianluo said to Zhao Yun: "He went to inform my family, and by the way, he brought some war horses to come over for a walk." Everyone didn't expect Fengxiang City's troops to come so quickly, and they couldn't prepare in advance, so Zilong took a break first. ”

"Okay." (To be continued)
