At that time, my father was not only not the male lord of Hebei, but even had to look at the face of the Yuan family, and he had to keep filial piety for his parents who had never given birth to him, wear coarse linen, eat rough food, and drink cold water.

Yuan Tan clearly remembered those days, remembered that he vomited and diarrhea because he followed his father to eat those shoddy food, remembered that it was also such an early winter, he still remembered the large patch of dead grass next to the tomb, remembered that he couldn't find anyone to find a doctor because his father dismissed his servants, and remembered that he was dying on the couch made of hay, and his eyes were black for a while.

It was dark, the house was dark, the barren meadow was dark, and only the tomb was lit up with a faint light.

His unrelated, young, beautiful grandfather, with a tall crown and a broad belt, sat on the tomb and looked at him with a smile.

It was a nightmare that surrounded Yuan Tan for many years.

After he broke through Tian Kai and got half of Qingzhou, he thought that the dream had completely woken up.

But as Yuan Shang grew up day by day, Yuan Tan dreamed of the dilapidated house and his grandfather sitting on the tomb again.

Grandfather's face changed to Yuan Shang's.

- Guo Tu said that his father's body is getting worse day by day.

- Although Yecheng is guarded by Yuan Shang, but the army is in front, if one day my father can no longer command the army, who will take over?

- The distance between Yuan Shang, who could not leave Yecheng, and his father was only getting farther and farther, but Yuan Tan could lead his troops to the west and slowly approach the main force of the Jizhou army.

Of course, he can't do nothing, his father's health is not bad enough, and he still has to be patient.

He needs to choose a target, build a little bit of record, and then keep in touch with his father at all times.

Suddenly a cold wind whistled outside the tent, although it did not blow into the tent, Yuan Tan still subconsciously stretched out his handy arm and wrapped the fur more tightly.

Occasionally, he misses his father, who would tuck the quilt for him on a winter night.

He will also be as filial as his father, Yuan Tan thought, he will also take off his silk clothes, throw away the delicacies, live next to his father's mausoleum, and look at the silent mountain day and night, which can no longer speak, and the strictest doctors of scripture will not be able to find fault with his filial piety.

He will even bury a lot of exquisite funeral goods for his father, pearls and jades, beautiful horses, and he will not spare anything.

When the eldest son of the Yuan family picked up the map of Xiaopei and prepared to fight for his father again, his heart was indeed full of such tender emotions.

He wouldn't even spare Yuan Shang's head.

Chapter 491

When the team of Zhang Xiu, Liu Xun and Cai Mao set off, the flags fluttered and sprinkled, like the morning glow, attracting many people to stop and watch.

They called these three soldiers and horses "Sanying" or "Sanxiong", and if Lu Hangyu heard it, he would considerately help them add two nicknames to choose from, such as "Yu Sanjia", or "Auspicious Three Treasures".

Their soldiers walked with their heads held high, but when they saw the little woman who had been a dewy couple on the side of the road, her breasts collapsed with tenderness.

- When they finish this battle, they will definitely get more loot, more rewards!

- Everyone says that Jizhou people are rich! They are fighting the rich!

- Then they will be able to dress up their good little women with half a horse of silk, and look at their current cloth skirts, haggard like grass about to wither in the cold wind, but just change into a beautiful dress, and two shining copper hairpins, and it will be different at once!

They may not have a wife in their minds when they are thinking so wildly, but these southern soldiers are not much different from the local recruits, and they have the same beautiful illusions about the future—they don't know where they are going, who the enemy commander is, how many horse infantry there are, and what the depth of the camp is.

They went on in a daze, and put all their expectations on their lord.

And their sovereign did not live up to this expectation, and this huge team finally chose a very clever and appropriate target—a camp about two hundred miles northeast of Xuchang.

This camp is very inconspicuous, north of the Yellow River, west of the Songshan branch of the block, east of Juancheng is 300 miles away.

It guards a three-way intersection, and the terrain is flat, which is very different from the large area of water around it. But now the Yellow River has not frozen, so it is not very important, the camp is not large, and it is the upper limit of more than 5,000 people, and it usually does not attack everywhere.

This fragmented information was slowly pieced together by the homeless, and the scouts had looked at it once or twice to determine the accuracy of the information.

- Since it has not been taken seriously by Yuan Shao now, and there are probably not enough soldiers and horses to garrison it, they can give it a try.

This idea was proposed by Cai Mao, and Zhang Xiu was a little hesitant.

Zhang Xiu hesitated because he treated others with himself, thinking that since they all knew that this place would become a very important camp after winter, there was no reason for the Jizhou army not to pay attention to it.

"Why is General Zisu too cautious!" Liu Xun waved his two hands exaggeratedly, "The general is a famous general who has been on the battlefield for a long time, is Yuan Shao too?" ”

Zhang Xiu was stunned for a while, "Yuan Shao seized Youzhou from Gongsun Zhan, how can it not be regarded as a battle-hardened battle?" ”

This Lujiang Taishou, who didn't know much about Yuan Shao, instantly turned his face not very good-looking.

"If General Zisu wants to go alone," he stretched out his voice, "this grain ......"

Zhang Xiu fell in an instant.

Of the three families, he is the poorest, and he usually has to scrape the other two families.

"Then listen to the two envoys." He finally admitted it, thought about it and added, "But we can't underestimate the enemy!" ”

Liu Xun let out a soft disdain from his nose.

They also encountered some sentinels and horses in Jizhou along the way, and there were not many of them, all of them were a small number of soldiers with a large number of people who were building camps, and they were crushed by them.

It shouldn't make a difference this time.

The team is still moving forward, not fast, but steady.

The soldiers continued to reminisce about their short but easy battles.

Those Jizhou cavalry are indeed not easy to deal with, but fortunately, they are all light cavalry, and they can only harass with cavalry, and they have no ability to come forward and fight hard.

The people driven by the cavalry are even more vulnerable, and when the three soldiers and horses attack together, the banner is also cloudy and majestic! The soldiers all over the mountains, the deafening shouts of killing, and the cold light of the sword!

How can Yuan Shao defeat them?

Just those people who are about to collapse at the touch of a button?! Just the rangers who can only follow them from a distance, occasionally shoot an arrow at close range, and then flee like panicked birds?

The soldiers continued to move on, adding something to their baggage.

The minmen were very poor, and there was nothing to scrape, but the minmen also had to eat and drink, and they also had to use all kinds of tools, so they seized a lot of grain, grass and iron tools - this was a bit surprising to the southern soldiers, the tools used by those people were very good, but they were still so poor! Not even a pair of full-fledged straw sandals!

There is not much reward for such a battle, so the soldiers who ran all the way from Jing Yang are even more eager for a big battle.

When smoke rose from the end of their sight, they believed their goal was finally near.

If you look at that camp from a layman's point of view, it really isn't anything special.

Five small battalions of 1,000 men were grouped together to form a large battalion with a capacity of about 5,000 men.

But if you look at it by Lu Hangyu, you will definitely say that the camp is actually very good.

For example, the camp of these three families, the height of the fence is uneven, some places are about one zhang and two feet high, and some places are less than one zhang, so it looks like a new grove from a distance, and the waves are scattered, which is quite poetic;

The fence of the camp of the Jizhou people is neat and uniform, there is no undulation, all the wood is of the same height, and it looks like a soil platform on the flat ground from a distance, which is pressed and pressed;

For example, the fence of the three camps is not only uneven, but also there is a natural interval between the wooden strips, and the interval is also uneven, some places are a little denser, you can only reach out, and some places are a little sparse, you can also step out with a leg, but the common sense of the generals is still a little, no matter what, the interval of the fence is not allowed to be wider than one end;

There is no such thing as a fence in Jizhou's camp, the wooden strips are cut next to the wooden strips, tightly fitted, and it is difficult for a finger to stretch out, and the people outside can only see that there is a camp there, but they can't see the scene inside.

In addition, there are more subtleties in the camp of Jizhou people that are different from them.

The trench of the Jizhou camp is uniform regardless of length, width and depth, and the bottom is covered with sharpened bamboo poles that have been roasted with fire, so the bamboo poles are particularly hard, and pontoon bridges are needed to enter and exit, and there are arrow towers every dozens of steps in the camp, and the sentry scouts look around on it.

Liu Xun shrunk his white and chubby little face into the fur, sat on the cart, and looked at it very reservedly.

"We have 30,000 horse infantry, and attacking such a camp is really overkill."

Cai Mao's eyes rolled, "Zitai is so magnificent, must he be willing to be the first?" ”

The little face turned to look at him, and there was a look of contempt on his face that wanted to smile or not.

"If our army is the first to take the lead and take the lead, should De Jue be really willing?"

Cai Mao bowed deeply, so the smile on Liu Xun's face stiffened a little.

When Liu Xun's soldiers and horses approached the camp, there were some vigilant sounds in the camp, including the sound of scorching fights, the chaotic sound of running, and the loud shouts and scolding of officers.

There was no momentum, and the ensuing rain of arrows seemed a little sparse.

The Lujiang army put the rattan plaque on its head, braved the rain of arrows, cautiously moved forward, and kept approaching the camp, and then the spearmen threw spears across the camp, and the soldiers behind carried the ladders used to destroy the city and pull out the village, and kept moving forward.

The Jizhou army immediately began to defend and counterattack, and the shooters on the arrow towers were constantly aiming at the soldiers who were carrying ladders, so there was no rattan card to protect their bodies, blocking their speed of attacking the camp.

And the Lujiang Army also quickly adjusted, sending the long players to the side of the long ladder to protect the porters to keep moving forward in the rain of arrows!

Finally, a ladder was put up on the fence, and immediately someone climbed up, and the person in front was shot down, turned over and fell into the trench, and immediately there was a scream, and the person behind gritted his teeth and immediately climbed up!

The Jizhou soldiers raised their spears behind the fence and poked down every soldier who climbed down the ladder.

But there were more and more soldiers after all, so the sound of blades intersecting soon sounded in the camp.

Cai Mao couldn't sit still.

The Lujiang army was the first to ascend, it was his bad idea - he had heard how strong the soldiers and horses in Hebei were, and how many famous generals gathered under Yuan Shao, so although the team composed of those people and light cavalry fought easily, he always felt that he could not fully believe it.

He must fool Liu Xun to use his main force to test the weight of the Jizhou army, and then the two questions of "whether to fight" and "how to fight" can have a final answer.

…… But now look at this camp, it really has a back and forth with Liu Xun!

Those Jizhou soldiers are also people, they will also be injured, they will also bleed, and they will retreat step by step!

All this happened in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but believe it!

If this camp is conquered like this, then Liu Xun will undoubtedly take the first credit!

He stupid man! I was so lucky! Not to mention the relatives from the Han family, not to mention that he was mixed with a wealthy Lujiang Taishou, he hasn't fought a big battle for more than ten years, and now he wants to earn some meritorious deeds, but he really earned a first!

Cai Mao was finally in a hurry.

He looked at the Lujiang soldiers who were pouring into the camp like a tide in the distance, and immediately said to Zhang Xiu on the side, "Kuang Fu Han family, get rid of thieves and rebel, this is what you and I should do as Han Chen, how can you let Liu Zitai take the lead?" ”

"De, Brother Deqi didn't say," Zhang Xiu's speech was a little clever, "It's not that you have to separate a ...... first"

"If I really treat Liu Zitai in danger, how can I bear it!" Cai Mao said loudly, "Pass on my military order!" Drumming marches! Thief rebellious! ”

"Bike!"

"Bike!"

"Bike!"

The Jingzhou army, which was watching from a distance, began to move forward, although it was half a beat slower, but the Xiliang army, which was also awakened from a dream, immediately followed.

They gradually crowded around the camp and began to look for gaps in the fence, looking for a good time to break into the camp.

Their banners were like dark clouds, and in an instant the camp was submerged in this vast shadow.

There are shouts of killing everywhere, and there are Lujiang soldiers, Jingzhou soldiers, and Xiliang soldiers everywhere.
