Time was fast, and half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

At noon on this day, Lu Bu was outside the west gate of Jinan County, checking the progress of the construction of the Qingzhou Lecture Hall.

came over and whispered to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu was shocked.

It turned out that there was a major change in Luoyang, the capital division, and Fan Chou invited his friend Zhang Ji to lead his troops to Luoyang with 20,000.

Li Dao and Guo Yan gradually occupied the dominant position of power, Fan Chou was marginalized, and in order not to be excluded, he had to call his friend Zhang Ji, so the situation in Luoyang became tense.

Lu Bu immediately made a decision and called Xu Rong and Hua Xiong over.

"General Xu, General Hua, the two of you led the army of your headquarters to Rencheng County immediately, and now go to Rencheng to set up camp and wait and see what happens."

Xu Rong hurriedly asked: "Lord, what's the situation, Cao thief wants to come to fight our Rencheng County's idea." ”

"No, Zhang Ji has also arrived in Luoyang, I feel that these people are about to start a firefight. Together, the people suffered, let's wait and see what happens, and once something happens in Luoyang, we will immediately send troops. ”

"Yes."

"On this march, Xu Rong is the main general, Hua Xiong is the deputy, and Zhao Yunbu's five hundred light scouts are the vanguard of the army.

Xu Rong said with a smile: "Lord, don't worry, what is the standard of living of our army, eat meat four times a month, and eat eggs once every two days." The money sent last month has not been moved, and it has been sent again this month. In addition, the master and the clerk educate the soldiers every day, and there will definitely be no violation of military discipline. ”

Xu Rong's army is 20,000 troops, and Huaxiong's army is 10,000 troops. According to the status of the original Xiliang Army, Xu Rong is a veteran-level figure of the Xiliang Army, and his reputation is very loud. Huaxiong is a little worse, but he is known as the first warrior of Xiliang, and his martial arts have attracted much attention in the Xiliang army.

Zhao Yun's five hundred white horse cavalry has only been formed for half a month, and the team has not yet been run-in, so it is about to go to the front line.

Zhao Yun did not complain at all, accepted Xu Rong's order, and led five hundred light cavalry to sentry in front.

It's easy along the way, after all, it's Qingzhou's own place, every day in front of the army, inform the people and caravans in advance, pay attention to avoid the army, help the army cut down some firewood and grass, and find a suitable water source.

Due to the large number of infantry and heavy carriages this time, the distance from Jinan County to Rencheng is so close, a total of 400 miles, and it takes five days to walk, which is still elite infantry, if it is replaced by ordinary infantry, it will take at least eight days.

In the west of Ren Chengxi, Lu Qian had already received an order to prepare camps, firewood and grass, dig wells, and prepare forage for the army.

As for the food army, it has its own provisions, and Lu Qian does not need to be responsible.

The army was encamped, and Xu Rong ordered Zhao Yunbu to patrol the western border of Rencheng and the border with Cao Cao's forces to prevent Cao Cao's army from sneaking up.

Zhao Yun was ordered to patrol more than 50 miles west along the official road.

"Stop, the border line is ahead, let's find a wild camp and guard the army here."

"No."

Zhao Yun personally led more than 100 cavalry on duty, and the other cavalry found a place where wild grass was lush and let the horses graze.

The soldier set up a small pot and boiled something to eat.

Zhao Yun immediately went to a high post, and looked west with a pergola in his hand. I found that there was a horse team not far away, and the speed of movement was quite fast, not like a caravan, with a big banner, and at first glance it was a cavalry.

Zhao Yun gave a whistle and led more than 100 white horse cavalry to wait in formation.

It didn't take long for the cavalry on the opposite side to pass, and sure enough, it was Cao Jun, with a big Cao character on the military flag. Although they are all the armies of the Han Dynasty, the uniforms of each family are different.

Who's talking about that?

It was none other than Cao Cao's general Cao Hong, who was arranged by Cao Cao to defend Lu Bu and led 5,000 elite troops to garrison Chenliu.

On this day, Cao Hong listened to the scout's report and said that Rencheng soldiers were gathered.

Cao Hong led hundreds of cavalry to check, and saw more than 100 cavalry in front of him from a distance, carrying a big banner and fighting a big Zhao character.

The first general sat on a white horse, holding a silver spear, and the cavalry behind him was also a white horse.

"Who will this be, I didn't hear that there is a military general surnamed Zhao under Lu Bu's account, go over and take a look, pry him, if it is a soft egg to get some horses back."

Cao Hong didn't have many soldiers and horses, a total of only three hundred cavalry, and when the group came over, Zhao Yun had already finished arranging.

Although Lu Bu and Cao Cao didn't deal with each other, they didn't just tear their faces and fight when they met.

Cao Hong stepped out of the horse and pointed at Zhao Yun with a big knife: "Who is coming?" Why snoop on our army. ”

Zhao Yun smiled and pointed to his banner: "Under the tent of Wen Hou, Zhao Yun, the pioneer of the former army." Who are you? ”

Cao Hong laughed: "I am Cao Hong, and now I am Chen Liutaishou, and I dare to fight." ”

Hearing that it was Cao Hong, Zhao Yun was secretly happy, he had heard Lu Bu say that Cao Cao had several fierce generals, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan.

If he can beat Cao Hong up, this credit will definitely be repaid.

"Okay, let's let the horses come."

Zhao Yun urged the horse forward and fought with Cao Hong.

Cao Hong used a big knife, and his knife skills were outstanding.

Zhao Yun's marksmanship is superb, and as soon as the two of them get started, they are white-hot, and the big knife is against the silver gun, and there are more than 20 rounds in the blink of an eye.

Cao Hong was a little out of order and turned around.

"There's something else to do today, I'll fight another day."

Zhao Yun didn't chase after him, and laughed: "You have the courage to come again." ”

The clerk wrote down the battle log next to him, and after more than 20 rounds, he forced Cao Hong back.

Cao Hong retreated for several miles, and when he saw that Zhao Yun did not chase after him, he let go, and his subordinates did not dare to say anything.

"This Zhao Yun is really brave, report it immediately, and let all our generals be careful of this person."

"Yes."

This is the first battle of Zhao Yun's formation of the White Horse Battalion, and after a discussion with Cao Hong, Zhao Yun worked together to suppress Cao Hong more than 20 times.

At this time, the trouble in Luoyang City became more and more serious.

On this day, Fan Chou was training soldiers with Zhang Ji in the camp, and Li Wei's cronies sent an invitation, inviting Fan Chou and Zhang Ji to a banquet to discuss the relocation of the capital.

It turned out that Li Dao always felt uncomfortable in Luoyang, and he was not as comfortable as Chang'an.

Fan Chou asked Zhang Ji: "To go or not to go?" ”

Zhang Ji is a good old man, and looked at the invitation: "The relationship is good, if you don't say it, you can't say it, and besides, moving to Chang'an is related to our vital interests, so we should still go and see." ”

"Okay, just go."

Fan Chou had a lieutenant general named Xu Ji who dissuaded: "General, Li Wei is ambitious." I tore my face a few days ago, so it's dangerous to go to eat and drink. ”

Fan Chou sneered: "He Li Wei is not a tiger, and I Fan Chou is not a soft persimmon, I will go to eat and drink, you wait to gather the army in the camp, once something happens, you will immediately come to meet the general." ”

"No."

Xu Ji went down to prepare.
