When Liu Wei was preparing to go south, Yuan Shu, who was so anxious that he was about to go bald, finally ushered in a piece of good news.

Yang Hong sent a fast horse to deliver the news, and Liu Yan agreed to form an alliance.

And Yang Hong said in the letter that Liu Yan had the same idea for a long time.

It's just funny that the messenger he sent also ran away.

This leads to two people who think the same way, but they never know each other's minds.

And the arrival of Yang Hong's news seems to have given Yuan Shu luck.

Good news came from the southern front in the aftermath.

The two pretentious bandits on Gluttonous Mountain actually attacked Zhang Ji's rear army and won a big victory.

These two pieces of good news made Yuan Shu, who had been violent and impermanent recently, and killed people at every turn, feel very good.

He immediately ordered that the grain owed to the gluttonous mountain be sent to them immediately.

This is definitely the most confusing battle Cai Mao and Huang Zu have ever fought.

The battle was lost, but only twelve men died.

And these twelve people were not hacked to death by the enemy, but trampled to death by their own people.

After some careful investigation, the two finally figured something out.

The enemy army that ambushed them fought with the back of their swords, and they didn't use blades at all.

「用刀背，这是得多自信啊，他们就不怕自己损失惨重？」 Cai Mao said in disbelief.

"That's probably how confident they are." Huang Zu's eyes drooped slightly, and his expression was slightly solemn, "They ambushed us and caught us off guard, but they fought with the back of their swords without seriously injuring our soldiers. If nothing else, they should be courting us!"

"Gestures? How can there be such a gesture?!" Cai Mao retorted.

Huang Zu gave full play to his imagination and said, "They should have been coerced by Yuan Shu, but their hearts are towards the imperial court and they want to submit to us. Therefore, in this way, we are given a hint. Next, we just need to send someone to contact them. We lost this battle, but we also won."

Cai Mao immediately said, "Impossible, your reasoning doesn't make sense to me, how can it be the truth!"

Huang Zu shouted a little unconvinced, "Then what do you say?"

"I suspect this enemy army is disguised by our own people." Cai Mao said in a deep voice, "This is a ploy!"

"You said it was the Imperial Army?" Huang Zu asked, "Oh, yes, we are now the Imperial Army. But if it's your own person, why do you have to do it many times? Yuan Shu is already at the end of the crossbow, so if there is any need for any strategy now, just kill it!"

"I can't think of anything else. Forget about your argument, it doesn't make sense at all."

At this time, Pang Tong walked over with a chicken in his hand, "The two generals don't need to doubt it anymore, and they don't have to argue about anything, they have only carefully understood it, and it should be the bandits of Gluttonous Mountain who ambushed us, that is, the two heavenly kings of Nanyang who have recently become famous."

"And they ambushed us, but instead of killing, they risked being killed and fought with the back of their swords, and in the end they won the battle. The identity is self-evident, they should be a certain part of the Imperial Court's Xiyuan Army."

"After the imperial court began to use knives in large quantities in the army, the world rushed to follow suit, although it is not very accurate to judge based on this, but there should be few bandits in the world who can use knives like this. The appearance of the bandits in Gluttonous Mountain is already a bit intriguing, but now coupled with this bizarre incident, it is not difficult to guess that this is the Imperial Court Xiyuan Army."

"And it is very likely that it is the one stationed in Yingchuan, and there may even be Sun Jian from Yuzhou."

Huang Zu looked Pang Tong up and down with a displeased expression, "You think you're so sure?"

"You can make a bet with the general, and if I guess wrong, I, the first general, will take it. But if I guessed correctly, when the general is tired of the next meeting, he will leave a place for the lowly position, although the spring is shining brightly, but the lowly office does not want to stand outside the big tent to discuss the matter, how about it?" Pang Tong said with a faint smile on his face.

Since beating him, he followed Cai Mao and Huang

After Zu went north, these two didn't take him seriously at all.

During the deliberations, he couldn't even enter the military tent.

"Okay, I'll bet with you!" Huang Zu said contemptuously, "I won't lose anyway!"

"The general is not a loss, but I think the general should be a little tolerant, although I am only engaged in a small business now, it is inevitable that I will ride on the general's head at some point. Today's cause, tomorrow's fruit, if the general suffers any grievances at that time, I am always worried that the general will regret it and want to even take out his intestines, but I am afraid that by that time, it will be too late." Pang Tongyi said sarcastically.

"If it's all right, you'd better get out of front of Ben's eyes now!" Huang Zu said coldly, "Lest the general can't help but slash you, just because you want to ride on the head of the general, and strive for a good tire in the next life."

Pang Tong laughed twice and walked away with his hands behind his back.

As he walked, he said loudly, "I have been good in this life, so why wait until the next life."

"Crazy Piff!" Huang Zu squeezed out a mouthful of thick phlegm from his mouth and spit it out in the direction where Pang Tong had gone.

"There's no need to treat him so harshly, this person actually has some skills." Cai Mao said, "I agree with what he just said, if nothing else, I am afraid that you will have to leave him a place in the big tent."

The battle between Huang Zu and Pang Tong, Cai Mao didn't pay attention to it at all.

In his opinion, it is reasonable for him to ignore a small person like Pang Tong.

Say a good word to him, and that will already be a great help.

"I am willing to give him this place to sit, if I am not willing to give it, he can only stand honestly outside the tent. Showing off his knowledge in front of me and pretending to be unfathomable, it depends on whether I give him this face!" Huang Zu scolded, "Even if it is his subordinate father, Pang Degong, I have never looked at it properly, let alone him!"

Cai Mao just smiled and said, "We were defeated in the first battle, so let's think about how to save this face that we threw out, right? I don't even know how to write this battle report to Zhang Ji. With that guy's temper, I'm afraid you and I will be humiliated!"

As soon as he thought of this, Huang Zu's temper disappeared in an instant, and he only felt a headache.

With such a main general as Zhang Ji, Huang Zu is really uncomfortable.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "Write how you want, this humiliation is settled. Don't scribble, write it down when the time comes, you will have to suffer humiliation, maybe you will have to take a beating, then you don't have to."

"Good, you're going to write?" Cai Mao said immediately.

Huang Zu raised his eyebrows and looked at Cai Mao, "You don't want to clear up the relationship, I can write it, how about your signature?"

"Forget it, let's go together!" Cai Mao smiled bitterly.

"What do you say you are doing with me to play this little clever, although I am not as conceited as Pang Shiyuan, I still understand something about it!" Huang Zu scolded.

Cai Mao did this, which made him feel very inexplicable.

This is really treating him like a brainless idiot.

Liu Wei had just walked out of Yecheng, and the first good news from Liaodong happened to be delivered in front of him.

Xiahoudun is crazy in Daijun!

This time, Liu Wei did not ask Xiahoudun to repair the post station to Liaodong, but Xiahoudun still did so.

And he doesn't talk about martial arts very much!

He led the tribe that was very good at carpenter's work, and after entering Daijun, a city was not attacked, and the tribes gathered by the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Yudian tribes gathered were selected to plunder.

The weakening of the Han court made the real frontier of Daijun almost exist in name only.

A large area of land has been occupied by foreigners, and the local government not only does not dare to let out a fart, but also has to rush to the end.

Daijun was the common fringe of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Du's power.

The two of them sometimes fight and sometimes grab, but they don't really care.

Xiahoudun used his soldiers ferociously, so the plundering went very smoothly.

Soldiers who can become carpenters seem to be good at copying the clan.

In less than a month, he had ploughed almost the entire southern part of Daishire.

Then the gates of those cities opened by themselves, and Xiahoudun was invited to enter the city.
