The quartermaster suddenly burst into high spirits, "This! This one has! ”

It was getting late, and the setting sun shrouded the plain, dyeing the city with a gentle color.

Women carrying baskets of grass on their backs into the city, perhaps for feeding the pigs or for weaving straw mats, were always very important materials, so they stood in line at the gates, waiting for the guards to interrogate and inspect them.

A nobleman came out of the city in a car, and the car was a chariot, and there was a woman's laughter in the car.

A young and handsome young man rode into the city with his attendants, a young man dressed in fine clothes, and a white horse without a single hair, but the young man seemed to think that such a horse was too boring to ride, so he wrapped five colored ribbons around it. When the horses run, the ribbons also float in the wind, like a rainbow.

The soldiers trapped in the camp watched this scene in amazement, wondering how someone could tie such a thing to a horse, wrap it around a tree, or hang it on someone else. Not to mention fighting, you can't ride it to get around.

But his doubts were soon answered: when the boy entered the city, everyone made way for him.

It was indeed a picturesque, stunningly beautiful teenager, but the soldiers in the camp did not pay any attention to this.

They came from a distance, and when the defenders on the towers noticed their movements and asked the defenders of the castle to come forward and question them, they walked faster!

The dozens of horsemen took the lead, rushed to the city gate, and after the beautiful boy entered the city, the defenders who had not had time to gather kicked away with their horses' hooves!

It was not easy to attack a heavy city with 700 men, but Fanyang had not yet received warning of the presence of enemy troops nearby, so the slackness of the defenders, as well as the extravagant and lazy camps around them, gave them a little camouflage and allowed them to approach the city.

They didn't even think about actually taking the city, they just wanted to set a fire at the gates and rush in if they had the chance! Burn the grain and grass before leaving!

Such a murderous army of soldiers and horses rushed towards the city, and naturally let out an earth-shattering roar!

…… Then a picture that Gao Shun didn't expect at all happened.

When he entered through the south gate, someone ran out of the county hall.

It must not be Fanyang Ling, because Fanyang Ling can't have so many guards around him, and even if he does, it can't be this costume.

Each of those guards was dressed in splendid armor, each of them was dressed in a rainbow-like brocade robe outside the armor, and each of them was riding a war horse without miscellaneous hair!

Some of them didn't put on their helmets because they were in a hurry, but their headbands were even embellished with shiny things!

When a group of them ran out in a crowd and followed the beautiful young man riding a multicolored silk horse, the light of this large piece of gold, silver and gems almost blinded Gao Shun's eyes, and almost blinded the eyes of the group of soldiers behind Gao Shun.

But in this splendid land, this military general who had followed Wen Hou to Jizhou and had a few days of food recognized the person in the middle.

Although Yuan Benchu, who is the lord of Hebei and has half of the world under his control, will never admit it, but in the evening of that day, he did escape from the city in such a panic.

But as for why Gao Shun failed to leave Yuan Shao at that time, Zhang Liao later exonerated him.

"It was me," he said, "and I couldn't have imagined it." ”

Chapter 473

The entire Fanyang City was in chaos.

The people fled in all directions, but because there was no one to chase them, they quickly went into their houses and hid.

After a while, they quietly poked their heads out of front and back of the house, and looked out cautiously.

The first daring is usually the little baby in the family, but before the neck can be stretched over, the mother pulls it back fiercely.

After a while, the mother looked at the father, who first put his ear to the wall and listened carefully to the sounds outside, making eye contact with each other as he listened.

- They ran over, ran over.

- Did they go to the granary?

- Oooh! Isn't there going to be a big thing!

- Someone is here again! Keep your head down!

- Is that from Qingzhou?

- The young general who came back last time was quite polite, our sixteen were ignorant, and they rushed into him, and he didn't blame him.

- What are these words! This is the word of the head! Don't talk nonsense!

- Ahhhh Oh! It's time to fight!

Ping Pong! There was the sound of knives hitting guns, the sound of heavy objects hitting the ground, the sound of shouting and running.

After a moment, there was a brief silence.

When they finally poked their heads out and looked in the direction where they had gone, they found that the sunset mingled with the fire above the granary, setting the sky on fire.

It was such a beautiful evening that many children will never forget it for a long time.

How many defenders there are in Fanyang City, Gao Shun is actually unclear.

But he had a rough estimate that it was normal to have at least three to five thousand foot soldiers and hundreds of cavalry stationed here, and he was ready to fight this defender.

Now that he saw Yuan Shao, he originally thought that his idea was very wrong, and the defenders in the city must be far beyond imagination.

But he didn't encounter many obstacles along the way, and it was the original defenders of Fanyang City who came to resist him, less than a hundred people, and they were crushed at the first touch.

He soon realized what was going on.

…… The soldiers and horses fell into a panic because of Yuan Shao's distress, Yuan Shao ran away, and they also ran out from the city gate.

It wasn't long before he came to the granary.

The granary here has been altered, and quite a bit, with a higher ground and a deeper cellar, covered not with straw, but with bricks and tiles.

If such a large grain cellar is moved, there are hundreds of thousands of stones, not to mention Lu Lian's soldiers and horses, even the grain and grass of Liu Bei's other soldiers and horses are enough to eat for a while.

"General!" Seeing the soldiers move, the general hurriedly asked, "Shall we move some?" ”

"Even if we can move it, we can't take it with us." Gao Shun said, "Don't stick to the grain cellar, the nearby fence will be burned and leave." ”

“…… Checkmate? ”

The grain cellar is deep and many, and it takes effort to burn it all out, especially to occupy this place, which Gao Shun was able to do, and he also formulated a plan in this way.

…… He couldn't do that now, but he didn't have time to talk to the soldiers.

"Set fire to the neighborhood," he repeated, "and we'll go at once." ”

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and soon the flames and smoke rushed out of the city and billowed into the sky, illuminating the dim half of the sky.

But that kind of fire couldn't illuminate Yuan Benchu's face.

The lord had already dismounted from his horse, and when an attendant brought him a chariot and asked him to sit down and rest for a while, he drove him away with great ferocity.

Yuan Shao has always been a generous person, and he is especially good-tempered to the people around him, so these guards are silent one by one.

The lord was really angry, they thought, but this thing is also ridiculous! This is Fanyang City! It is more than 100 miles away from Puyang, not to mention that Puyang has already been won! It is said that there should be no enemies in this vicinity, who can touch the sun all the way unnoticed!

This whispering did not last long, when the defenders of Fanyang City ran out, especially the guard who ran in front of Yuan Shao with his helmet in his arms, and fell to the ground with tears in his eyes, indicating that as soon as he heard the news, he immediately followed, and when he swore to protect the safety of the lord, the lord kicked the guard aside and drew his sword!

A crowd of people swarmed up and persuaded him.

"Grain and grass! Grain and grass! Yuan Shao pointed to Fanyang City in the distance and scolded, "If the grain and grass are destroyed!" What's the use of me staying and waiting for the head! ”

The guard stumbled out again, and he ran as fast as he could, one after another, bumping into people who were slower than him, but who were also running towards the lord, and thus became a retrograde in the setting sun.

Everyone who rushed over came crying, some of them were untidy, although no one understood this kind of time for dinner, how could they only wear their middle clothes, a few of them even wore women's clothes, and some of them did not ride horses or cars, but ran over on two legs, running out of breath, lying at Yuan Shao's feet like a dead dog, unable to get up.

Obviously, there will be more and more such people, and this is how they express their loyalty.

Yuan Shang secretly glanced at his father.

He had calmed down from his panic, and so had his father.

The last rays of the sunset shone on that handsome and attractive face, and even gently hid the silver hair on the sideburns, so it was no different from the big hero who "fought to the death" in Yuan Shang's memory.

But after all, it's not that big hero anymore.

At least the remorse and pain on Yuan Shao's face told his son that his anger was not because of those villains who left their posts without permission and came to flatter, but because of the choice he had just made that made him despised.

The number of people around him gradually increased, and torches were spread on the large wasteland outside the city, and even a little spark on the Zhangshui River in the distance gradually approached, as if waiting for him to return to Yecheng by boat.

Yuan Shao took a deep breath.

"Go back to Fanyang immediately and behead me with the heads of that group of thieves!"

It's finally getting dark.

But on every dirt road in the vicinity, there were people who lit torches and marched all night.

First of all, they went to Fanyang City in a mighty way, riding horses, walking, pushing carts, driving cars, and riding cars, all kinds of tricks.

Then they came out of Fanyang City again, still like this group of people, riding on horses, holding torches, looking around.

They all had knives at their waists and shields behind them, and those who wore armor had a fierceness in their eyes, and those in cloth clothes had a slack in their eyes.

It's dark, and the wind is cold, so it's good to nest in a warm mud house, or a shack, they don't pick it, but give them a hot fire pit, and it doesn't matter if the fire is extinguished, spread hay on it, and sleep comfortably on this little heat.

Gao Shun's soldiers thought the same in their hearts.

The granary didn't burn out, and to be precise, they ran out.

They didn't even have a chance to go to the county hall to collect more belongings, and the general demanded that they withdraw from the city immediately—a somewhat disappointing battle.

But when they lay flat in the hay in the sheltered place at the bottom of the slope, leaning on each other for warmth, they gradually admired the general in their hearts.

If the general hadn't run out with them at once, they wouldn't have been able to defeat so many men and horses anyway.

…… Then again, they didn't do anything! As for it! It's like the whole Jizhou, the soldiers and horses in the whole Hebei don't beat Liu Bei, and they rush back to Fanyang!

They looked to their generals.

The general did not remove his armor or lie down, but he found a stone under the tree and sat down, holding his sword, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, motionless.

There was a fire in the distance, and another team of soldiers and horses.

It's dawn.

The fire in Fanyang City had already been extinguished.

Some grain losses are still within a tolerable range, and they cannot be called painful.

But Yuan Shao's face was still very gloomy.

In addition to the accompanying officials, even the people from Yecheng arrived.

When the judge got out of the carriage, he threw himself into the dust, but no one laughed at him, and the streets were full of carriages, many of which were like the one that was running too fast and almost fell apart, and some of them could be repaired, but most of them became the daily throwing type.

Now this group of familiar faces came to him again, and when they listened respectfully to him, Fan Cheng's good news came.
