After a while of heavy rain in summer, the road became muddy. The water in the streets was filled with horses' hooves. The figure leading the horse looked at the lively street scene around. Pedestrians soon walked out of Yecheng.

There was still thunder in the sky. As the clouds sounded in the distance, there was another person next to the figure leading the horse, with his face as ugly as the cloudy day. The two walked out of the city gate for a moment, and the figure who gave each other raised their wide sleeves and bowed: "The lord has been treating each other with a courtesy of guests. The brother left at this time, but if you have a good place to go, you can also inform me if you are a younger brother."

As I spoke, I felt reluctant to leave my face.

The person who gave in was named Xun Chen, who was the brother of the leader of the horse. The two were originally the same attendant Yuan Shao, Hebei. However, in recent days, they wrote a letter to talk about some things, but after Yuan Shao tactfully rejected it, they became interested in leaving.

The horse sneezes, and the figure leading the horse stroked the mane on the horse's neck, turned his head and waved his hand: "...Where will go, I don't know where to go, I will go to Cao Cao in Dongjun to see it. Don't tell Yuan Benchu, just send it here, go back soon."

"I'll give it to you again... It's still early at this time. Let's go for a while. This farewell, I'll see you again in the future." Xun Chen looked at the figure who had decided to leave, sighed, walked side by side, opened his mouth and closed it many times on the way, and wanted to say something but stopped. Finally, he gritted his teeth: "The lord is the guest of honor when his brother is a guest of honor. How can he leave with a disheartened voice?"

The figure of the horse was wearing a pure white robe, with a long figure and a short beard under his chin, and was named Xun Yu. He smiled and shook his head: "I am not discouraged, but on this three words "guest of honor". This is to treat me as a guest, not sincerely accept it. A few days ago, I talked with Yuan Jizhou that the black bandits in Zhongshan were appearing and raiding wealthy families along the way. It was a clumsy plan for outsiders. There was no need to dispatch troops and horses to go. Just a letter and a clever official could resolve it."

"I'm a little confused, so please tell me clearly."

"The bandits in the north seem to be fighting fiercely, but they did not occupy a city or a city. They were only a few soldiers. If Zhang Yan really wanted to do it, how could this be the only one hand?" Xun Yu held the reins and looked at the thick clouds in the sky. "...If it were earlier, it might be possible to make up for it. At this time, Zhang Yan was afraid that he would have to do it. Yuan Shao was too resourceful but not cut off. His advisers were like Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xu You, and others, who were greedy for small profits and forget their roots, and were not good at ignorance but not united. This place was not a good minister, so he should leave for his brother. Otherwise, he would be in prison in the future and die in vain."

When he said this, he smiled and turned around and found that Xun Chen was still in place. He also stopped and turned around and bowed: "If you are in Yuanying, you should remember that less words and more are the priority, and you will say goodbye."

Xun Chen stretched out his hand to try to keep it, but he hung in the air. He looked at the figure on the other side and left with a sword on his horse. He turned around and looked at Yecheng, shook his head and sighed.

...

The sky was moving, and the clouds gradually dissipated.

Xun Yu was on the road alone and marching on the official road. He was less than 30 years old this year. He was elected as a filial and honest person the year before yesterday and became the palace guard. Later, Dong Zhuo came to Beijing to dominate the court. Even though he knew that the capital of the capital, Kanto would become a place for four battles, moved his clans to seek refuge in Jizhou, and was later requisitioned by Yuan Shao.

However, this time, he also saw clearly that Yuan Shao was not a person who had been serving a bandit for a long time, but this time he could not move away at will, otherwise the matter would be too much, and it would be very likely that the city was filled with Xun's heads. After thinking for two days, Xun Yu decided to leave Jizhou and go to Dongjun to take a look.

Just as I was thinking about being out of sight, on the official road at the end of my vision.

A horse.

one person.

A sword.

He came over on the horse's back, wearing a blue wide-sleeved robe, with a handsome and elegant face, muttering words. When he was happy, he laughed twice and drank a sip of wine, and his face was filled with a slutty wine.

"Faithfulness?" x3

When he approached, Xun Yu recognized who was coming. Over there, the horse's hooves approached. The young man on the horse's back looked at him in a daze, smiled at the corner of his mouth, threw the wine bag over, and stumbled off the horse: "I was worried that there was no one to drink with me on the way, Brother Xun came."

On this side, Xun Yu naturally took a sip and dismounted to help him. "How did you get to Jizhou? It's dangerous on the way. Don't forget to drink, beware of being caught by the thief."

"Haha..." The young man's footsteps slipped away from his hands and said with a smile: "If there are really bandits who capture me and give him a great fortune. Unfortunately, no one dares to stop him from the smooth road in Jizhou."

Then, he sat down on the short grass beside the road, "I wonder why Wen Ruo got here, aren't you at Yuan Benchu?"

"Just come out... I don't plan to go back." Xun Yu also sat down next to him: "I thought that when I arrived in Jizhou, the fourth generation and third ministers could do something, but it seemed that I couldn't do it." He took the wine bag from Guo Jia and looked at the other party: "Where are you? You came to Jizhou and joined Yuan Shao's subordinates?"

Guo Jia rubbed his neck, then pulled the wrist of the drinker, "Let's go, Yuan Benchu ​​doesn't even look down on you, how can I go again? I save a piece of road, where are you going now?"

"Where is Cao Cao in Dongjun?" Xun Yu returned the wine bag.

The young man laughed and pulled him up and waved his hand: "Let's go together, and you won't be bored if you have a companion on the road."

When the sunset shone southwards as the two of them walked south, the cracks of the two who were not dealing with in Ji County, Youzhou and Ji County, were even more and more broken.

In the study, the palms slapped at several tables and thumped, Gongsun Zan's voice shouted loudly: "Transfer 4,000 cavalry and Yuan Shu to join forces to save Your Majesty, but the border will not be defended? At that time, you only set up 10,000 border troops to defend the territory, and draw 4,000. Will the guards of Youzhou come here?"

"My dog ​​son sent someone to write a letter. Yuan Gaolu sent troops from Nanyang, but there were too few cavalrymen. He only needed 4,000 to gather tens of thousands of cavalry to drive straight into Chang'an." Above, Liu Yu knelt down and knocked his hand on several tables. His tone was quite fierce: "Your Majesty was trapped in Chang'an for a long time, and the prefects and governors of various places became more and more arrogant. Look at Yuan Shao, who was bullied Han Fu, did you have the will of Your Majesty? In the long run, the world will be in a melee. How could I not be anxious?"

With a bang.

The armored figure slapped the table with a big hand and stood up: "Liu Yu, I think it was Yuan Shu who held your son. I said this just now. Let me tell you that the four thousand cavalry really want to be transferred away. I, Gongsun Zan, disagree! Once transferred away, the border will not be defended? If it is Wuhuan and Xianbei attacked, who will guard it? I hope that 10,000 or 20,000 people in Youbeiping?"

"That's Your Majesty--" The old man also stood up angrily.

Gongsun Zan took a few steps forward and competed for the battle: "I am guarding the people of Youzhou, my Han land--"

In the main hall, two groups of people became tense. Then, Liu Yu pursed his lips tightly and stared at the other party for a while. He then whipped his long sleeves and turned his back: "The military power is in my hands, and the troops have been adjusted. At this time, no matter how many you say, it will be useless."

"It's very good!" Gongsun Zan took two steps back and bowed: "That book will say goodbye-"

Jia Ye shook a little, and his armored figure walked to the door and stopped. He pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist with one hand, staring at the old man facing away from the room with his back: "There is one more thing!"

Over there, he also turned his face: "What's the matter?"

"My son Gongsun Zhi..." Gongsun Zan clenched his fists and beat his chest: "I remember this in my heart-" After saying that, he raised his cloak and left with great strides.

In the main hall, the old man slowly turned around, raised his head and sighed.

Not long after, when the skylight fell, a team of white horses guarded Gongsun Zan out of the gate of Jixian County. A few miles away, he took the spear from a general wearing silver armor, looked at the towering city walls at the end, turned around, and the sound rang out at the same time.

"Go back and prepare...and come here!"
