The battlefield has not been cleaned yet, but Lu Bu does not plan to stay any longer. Gao Shun reminded him that after a battle, this place would soon become a breeding ground for mosquitoes and flies, and if he stayed, he would definitely be infested by epidemics.

Wei Xu and Hao Meng also brought troops back, saying that Yuan Tan returned to the defense too quickly, and they couldn't coax them, and saw that the defenders were neat, but in the end they still did not attack.

"It's nothing, I expected it," Lu Bu looked regretful, but immediately relieved, "If I go in person, I might be able to fight it, but you really can't." ”

Wei Xu pouted as if unconvinced, and didn't say anything.

Hao Meng's face was full of shame, bowed down, and confessed again and again.

Although he had shed a lot of blood and his face was much paler than usual, Gao Shun still stood upright in the Chinese military tent, and when he saw that the division of troops had returned, he reminded Lu Bu that he could give the order to set off.

"And those ......," Lu Bu paused unnaturally, "those wounded soldiers, just place them in place." ”

"I sent someone to send them back to the North Sea." Gao Shun said steadily.

"That's good," Lu Bu said, "let's continue our journey to Dongshire." ”

Chen Gong, who listened for a while, suddenly frowned and spoke with some uncertainty.

"Does the general think that Yuan Tan will not chase after him again?"

Lu Bu replied very easily.

"He will never have the guts again," he said, "unless he is invited to his house." ”

The weather was very hot, and Yuan Tan's heart was very cold.

Since he returned to Gaotang, he immediately entered the mansion and never came out.

I heard that the eldest prince is really sick.

There was such a rumor among the soldiers, and every time the officer heard it, the soldier would be pulled out and beaten.

Later, these Jizhou people stopped discussing the eldest prince loudly, they made eye contact with each other, quietly bit their ears, and passed on from ear to ear.

They didn't know that the eldest prince had already fallen into a heart disease with his father, but they knew that after this battle, the eldest prince had an additional heart disease.

Those soldiers who finally escaped from the river were still brought back by Guo Tu, plus the rear army that never collapsed, and finally counted the number of people, 5,000 Jizhou elite soldiers, lost more than 1,000 people, and the rest were more or less wounded, but they finally came back. So it wasn't a decisive defeat.

It's just that the eldest prince has always considered himself brave and martial, and now he is fleeing in front of the soldiers, which is a shame that cannot be washed away anyway.

He locked himself in the house, ignored all official duties, and handed over the battle report to Guo Tu as for how to write the war report.

The eldest prince was more or less pretending to be sick before, but this time he was really sick.

"Childe is sick?" Guo Tu didn't care too much, "Then you have to take good care of him, and there must be no slackness." ”

"Yes."

"Also," Guo Tu asked, "have you inquired about the affairs of the army?" ”

The entourage was categorical, "Sir, there is indeed no banner of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao in Lu Bu's army. ”

Zhang Miao once served as Chen Liutaishou, Zhang Chao once served as Guangling Taishou, if the two of them went to war, they would have to write official positions on the banner, but on the night of the battle next to Jishui, no one had ever seen this Yanzhou army.

Guo Tu was determined, "This is very good!" ”

When Guo Tu rushed to Yecheng with the news of Yuan Tan's battle with Lu Bu, the early autumn of Yecheng had already come.

This city, built next to Zhangshui, has become more and more prosperous after being carefully repaired by Yuan Shao several times. When riding in on horseback, the street merchants raised hanging banners, and the pedestrians were bustling with each other, which was very lively.

It was getting late, and when Guo Tu entered Yuan Shao's mansion, when Yuan Shao was discussing the siege of Gongsun Chan with his advisers, when he saw him come in, the tall and extraordinary lord immediately stretched out his hand and enthusiastically beckoned him.

"How did the public rule come back?"

Guo Tu, who was in the dust, showed an undisguised joy on his face, "I was about to announce the good news to the Lord!" ”

The eyes of the strategists were fixed on him in an instant.

"What's the joy of?"

"Since the eldest prince repelled Liu Bei the month before last, he fought with Lu Bu by Jishui seven days ago——"

Yuan Shao became nervous for a moment, "Lu Bu?!" ”

"Not bad! Lu Bu's thief heart is not dead, seeing that the eldest prince is tired from fighting for a long time, he led more than 10,000 people to sneak attack! ”

In Guo Tu's description, Lu Bu's soldiers and horses are not only his thousands of cavalry, as well as a trapped camp, but also nearly 10,000 people such as Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, with a huge momentum, and the banner covers the sky and the sun, which is as terrifying as a ghost!

"You can't deceive your lord! The eldest prince is short of troops, and he has been defeated repeatedly-"

"I don't blame my son," Yuan Shao said angrily, "Lu Bu deceived me too much!" ”

"Not bad! But my lord! Lord! The eldest prince guards Qingzhou for the lord, he is the last person to fight, how can he take a step back! With tears in his eyes, Guo Tu said impassionedly, "Although he has been defeated repeatedly, he has also been defeated again and again, and finally drove Lu Bu back to the south of Jishui!" Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao brothers retreated! Fleeing back to Xuzhou, Lu Bu led more than 2,000 people, fled west in a panic, and was finally driven out of Qingzhou! ”

"The eldest prince is loyal and brave, but this move is not only for Qingzhou, but for the lord! How can there be such a pure filial son in the world? Xin Ping exclaimed, "With this father, Si has this son!" ”

Several of the strategists glanced at each other, and finally their eyes fell on the lord.

Yuan Shao's chest rose and fell violently a few times, and finally nodded vigorously, his face full of relief, "Not bad!" It is worthy of my Yuan family's son! However, Mr. Gongze's contribution is not small! ”

After frowning for a long time, when Tian Feng, who finally couldn't help himself, was about to get up from the mat, he suddenly noticed Xun Chen on his side shaking his head at him.

Feng Ji and Xu You made a color to each other, and then began to tout Yuan Tan as well.

So the room was peaceful, and the onlookers were very fond of Guo Tu, no matter what everyone thought in their hearts, everyone was very happy anyway.

The night was a little late.

Yuan Shaoxing was very high, drank a few glasses of wine, and watched the musicians' performances before retiring to rest.

Since he was gone, Tian Feng, who had an upright temperament, couldn't bear it anymore, got up and didn't even say hello to the others, and hurriedly walked out.

The courtyard is lush and the pool is rippling, and although it does not have the splendor of the interior, it is much more real.

Tian Feng let out a long breath, and was walking down the steps, when he was about to wear clogs and leave, someone behind him suddenly stopped him.

"Brother Yuan Hao."

It was Xun Chen who stopped him before.

Seeing this person chasing him out, the resentment on Tian Feng's face became even more obvious.

"Why did you stop me?"

The young strategist smiled, "It's inseparable." ”

What is the level of the eldest prince, others don't know, don't these Jizhou strategists also know? It's really okay to beat Tian Kai Kong Rong, but Lu Buyong is the best in the world, if he is bent on taking Qingzhou, how can Yuan Tan stop him?

But Yuan Shaoxin is his son, what can others do?

"Even so, you can't let Guo Tu deceive the lord!"

"The lord is weak and the crown is famous in the sea, where is the mediocre person," Xun Chen said, "If he really wants to find out the truth, how can Guo Gong hide it from him?" ”

He just wants to hear the good news, and if you tell the truth, it spoils his interest, will he blame his own son, or will he blame you, the counselor?

The problem of the lord is not in being dull and cowardly, and even Yuan Tan is not a dull and cowardly person.

But both father and son have some problems in their personalities, but Yuan Tan was confused by the rumors that he was succeeded to Yuan Ji, and the weaknesses in his personality were more obvious.

…… Then again, no one is perfect, can anyone be cold-hearted and cold-hearted, and never be deceived by anyone or anything?

Thinking of this, a figure suddenly crossed Xun Chen's heart.

This handsome strategist was not affected by his own thoughts, and immediately set his eyes on Tian Feng's thin, long, and very stubborn face at first glance.

His gaze was gentle, but very convincing, so Tian Feng was finally convinced.

The middle-aged scribe only let out another long sigh at the end.

Who would have thought?

In this battle, the final winner was not Yuan Tan, not Lu Bu, but Guo Tu.

"There is this father," Tian Feng sighed, "Si has this son." ”

Xun Chen couldn't help laughing, "Mr. Guo's knife and pen are better than the elite soldiers of the Fifth Army." ”

Chapter 213

The winter of the first year of Jian'an was extremely cold.

When rich and noble families think of winter, they always think of bright flames beating in the stove, and hot water in clay pots has been boiled to make a pot of tea with oil and salt.

When the hot tea is delivered to you, you can straighten up and temporarily break yourself from the thick and warm fur, but don't worry, there is also a burning charcoal basin around you, if you hate the smell of charcoal, you can also light a stove of incense in the corner, add some agarwood and incense, so that the rich and sweet completely dispel the cold outside.

But if it weren't for such a wealthy family, it would be very difficult to survive this winter.

In this year's severe drought, the autumn wheat could not be harvested, and in the winter it was so cold so quickly and so early, but it did not snow, and the winter wheat in many places also froze to death.

Food prices are quietly starting to rise.

Although the state pastoral government has released a batch of grain stocks to stabilize grain prices, everyone is worried that when the time comes to the next year, I am afraid that the nobles of the state pastoral government will not be able to think of any good way.

Providence is like this, maybe the Han family should be desperate.

Such whispers were passed down by word of mouth among the people, and also reached the ears of the same heart.

She wore a thick dress, wrapped two pieces of cloth, and went out with Li's second daughter-in-law, and was about to sell them to a cloth merchant she knew well. Ordinary cloth is used as currency, but these two pieces of cloth are carefully woven by her into a continuous stream of flowers and leaves, which are suitable for selling for a good price.

In the past few years, life has been stable, although she has followed General Lu all the way and came to the drama city from Xiapi, but she has saved more and more money in her hands. She bought a small farm in Xiapi, and began to see Yang Siniang's husband, and sent Xiaolang to study.

Now she still has some calculations in her heart, Ah Cao is five years old, but she happened to move to Beihai, and there are gradually many celebrities gathered here, and those poems and books are naturally not moved, but they also brought many disciples.

Among them, there are those who have rich families, and there are also those who live in poverty. Tongxin discussed with a few women in the neighborhood to invite a shy little gentleman to read and write for their children, the price will not be very expensive, two stones of grain, plus a piece of cloth, and ten catties of meat, it is a very decent bundle. If he could, not only would the son have to study, but it would also be good for the girl to be literate and reasonable. I heard that when Ah Bai's healthy women's battalion went to Bolu City to deliver supplies, they also repelled a small group of rogues and really got some rewards, who didn't envy them?

In such a world, is there anything more profitable than profiting from Rong?

Although Li's second daughter-in-law didn't have the courage to become a soldier, she also muttered when she heard such news.

"Last month, my two brothers came to me, sister, you don't know, when they saw Erlang coming to the door, their noses were not noses, their eyes were not eyes, they picked him for being old, and they picked him for not being a local, so they finally made up the gift money, and said that I would be in debt when I got married, and I would suffer all my life."

Speaking of which, the two pieces of Li's second daughter-in-law were thin and red, and at first sight, she knew that her lips, which had been specially used with rouge, turned faster before going out.

Li's second daughter-in-law didn't have to come with her, she could have followed her husband to Tancheng, and she could still stare at her husband if he didn't do anything outside, but after the two of them discussed, they still felt that it was better to follow the same heart.

After all, General Lu is still unmarried, and he only takes these neighbors in Dongsandao as his relatives, and if he is not in the camp, he will return home. Therefore, Li Er and his wife felt that it was safe to have one to follow the general. Especially since the general is still a woman, and Li's second daughter-in-law doesn't have to worry about running over from time to time, so she can't wait to grow here.

"Now they're not like that! I heard that my Erlang is a close person who follows General Lu, and he got another order to go to Tancheng to forge weapons for General Lu, and now who doesn't respectfully call him Li Langjun? Oops, ay, ......"

This is said to hide two or three points of showing off, Tongxin understood it as soon as he heard it, probably Li Er's daughter-in-law had vaguely heard that when she was in Chang'an, Li Er had a little interest in Tongxin, but Tongxin married Qu Liu, and Li Er withdrew from the competition stupidly. Therefore, now in and out of words, there is always a bit of meaning for his husband and for himself.
