Gongsun Yuan led the bandit leaders from all over the city all the way to the west, but stopped in the mountains and forests not far outside the city, the mountains and forests looked unremarkable, and the bandit leaders looked at each other, not knowing what kind of medicine this Mr. Gongsun was selling in his gourd.

"Guys, this is it."

Gongsun Yuan, who was more than a high man, bowed his head slightly, he looked around and blew a loud whistle. At the sound of the whistle, the woods, which had been calm and windless, suddenly blew a strong wind, startled the birds and finches, and the trees in the forest also rustled.

Some of the bandit leaders have also seen the world, and in their opinion, this gale that rises with the sound of the whistle must be man-made.

Could it be that Zhang Yan has recruited a military advisor, or that the so-called Mr. Gongsun, who looks like a barbarian, is the one he recruited?

Doubts rose in the hearts of the bandit leaders, and they couldn't help but whisper, and in the midst of their discussion, dozens of black-clothed and black-faced figures slowly walked out of the woods swept by the gale.

Someone is hiding here, and he hasn't found it yet?

To be able to achieve the position of bandit leader, the basic skills of the bandits must be solid, but Rao is these bandit leaders, and he has not found that anyone is hiding in this woods.

There are also more careful discoveries that the figures shrouded in black clothes are sturdy and strong. Raising such a group of sturdy men, not to mention others, at least for them, the amount of money required is definitely not a small amount.

"Gongsun...... Mr. Gongsun, is that all that Zhonglang wants to show us? ”

This group of elites is indeed elite, it can be seen from their concealment skills and figures, but just with this group of elites, even if the actual number of this group of elites is ten times that of five hundred and eight hundred, it still can't change the strength comparison between Zhang Yan and Yuan Shao, even if it adds that possible military advisor, it is not enough.

Not to mention anything else, Yuan Shao has many generals and strategists in his hands, and a year ago, their men and horses were claimed to be millions, more than now, but they were still rushed by Yuan Shao's generals in one breath.

It was not Gongsun Yuan who answered the questions of those bandit leaders, but those black-clothed soldiers, and when the bandit leaders were discussing, the black-clothed soldiers had already stood in two rows neatly.

"Up!"

The soldiers in the front row knelt down on one knee in unison, and the knives at their waists were drawn, but it was a standard defensive posture, while the soldiers in the back row set up their light crossbows on the shoulders of the front row. The machine expanded and pressed, and the crossbow arrows shot out in unison, and the few trees in front of them that were used as targets were instantly nailed with dense crossbow arrows.

Although the movements were neat and neat, these soldiers did have an elite posture, but those bandit leaders still shook their heads when they saw the soldiers behaving like this.

Sure enough, it's just an ordinary elite, and it's still not good for Yuan Shao's generals.

"Broken!"

And just as these bandit leaders kept shaking their heads, the black-clothed soldiers burst out again.

I saw that the soldiers, whether in the front row or in the back row, all raised their right hands in front of them, and after a slight pause, the golden light of the Dao gradually flickered in their hands.

"It's ......"

The bandit leaders were a little surprised, and combined with the gale just now, a somewhat delusional thought rose from their minds.

Could it be that these people are all military advisors?

"Click!"

The bandit leaders' thoughts flashed, but it was the thunder that shone brightly, and several thunderbolts accurately slashed at the trees that were used as targets, and the thunder fire ignited instantly, and the quickly ignited raging fire shone on the faces of the bandit leaders, and they all opened their mouths wide and looked surprised.

This Zhang Yan really has a team of military divisions!

"What, what do you think, how is our Wind Thunder Battalion?"

Gongsun Yuan pretended to be calm and calm, he seemed to appreciate the surprised expressions of the bandit leaders.

"Mr. Gongsun...... Is this all the manpower of the Wind Thunder Battalion? ”

One of the bandits immediately asked, he had to assess the strength of this Wind Thunder Battalion as soon as possible, so that he could stand on the right side.

"Less than eight hundred."

Gongsun Yuan wrote lightly, he just wanted to see these bandit leaders suppressed by his own understatement.

Sure enough, hearing the number of eight hundred, these bandit leaders originally opened their mouths wider, and this Zhang Yan made such a big move silently, and the team in front of him was about forty or so people almost the strength of a military general, and eight hundred people, isn't it twenty military generals when converted? !

That's twenty generals, Yuan Shao doesn't know if there are so many!

Everyone sighed secretly, and some of the more scheming bandit leaders were already making surprised expressions, while planning in their hearts, thinking about how to show their loyalty in front of Zhang Yan later.

……

Yecheng.

"My lord, this is news from the west, and the messenger said that you want to open the seal yourself."

A middle-aged Confucian with a somewhat fat figure walked in with a roll of lacquer-sealed strips of cloth, and judging from the filth of the strips, it was obvious that he had gone through a lot of tossing and turning.

"Westside?"

Yuan Shao, who was quietly thinking about a map, raised his eyebrows, his expression was a little surprised.

"Didn't he defeat that Zhang Yan once last year, is he still not convinced?"

"This ...... The subordinates don't know. ”

"That's it, you can read it."

Yuan Shao waved his hand, still unwilling to take his eyes off the map.

“…… Zhang Yan has a song under his command, the famous Wind and Thunder Battalion, about 800 people, among which the soldiers have the ability to call for wind and thunder, Zhang Yan relies on this, and seems to intend to challenge things......"

Wind Thunder Battalion? Eight hundred people call for wind and thunder? Zhang Yan?

The middle-aged Confucian read the content on the cloth, but Yuan Shao only felt ridiculous when he heard it, even if he gathered all the capable people in the world together, he didn't know if it would work to find eighty people who would call for wind and thunder, and how could Zhang Yan, who was only worthy of fluttering in the ravine, get together eight hundred people?

"It's ridiculous, Yuan Hao, you can even read it! Who the hell is the eyeliner over there, who would send such news back! ”

Yuan Shao's heart was on fire, and he scolded loudly, the news network that he spent a lot of money to maintain actually sent back such news, so how could he not be angry!

"My lord, I think that this matter seems to be true."

Unlike Yuan Shao's anger, the middle-aged strategist had a serious face.

"I know the eyeliner over there, he is a loyal and reliable person, and he will not spread false news, and there seems to be similar things in our army in the past few days."

"What's the matter? How did I not know!? ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao's attention was instantly diverted, but the anger was even greater, he didn't care about Zhang Yan's side for the time being, but what happened under his hands, how could he, the lord, know now!

"Don't worry, my lord, it's just that a few soldiers have suddenly become martial, and these warriors have been promoted to captain or chief...... It's normal for this kind of promoted lord not to know, and his subordinates just saw the news and thought about it. ”

"That'...... What is the strength of those soldiers? ”

"It's just that we can perceive and manipulate some true qi more than ordinary people, and there is still a big distance from the generals, as for the call for wind and thunder mentioned in the secret letter, it should be a misunderstanding caused by our eyeliner not seeing the strength of the generals and strategists."

Listening to the middle-aged strategist's analysis, Yuan Shao's anger slowly subsided

"According to what you say, even if Zhang Yan has this so-called Wind and Thunder Battalion, he still doesn't have to be afraid?"

"Exactly, we can continue to prepare for the battle with Gongsun Chan."

"Hmmm......"

Yuan Shao nodded, turned his gaze back to the map in front of him, and pondered for a while before he spoke again without raising his head.

"But even if Zhang Yan is not afraid, our side can't be unguarded...... Yuan Hao, I'll leave this matter to you, give you 5,000 people, it's enough. ”

"You don't need five thousand, you can do three thousand old and weak."

The strategist who was called Yuan Hao by Yuan Shao arched his hand, and his words were full of confidence.
