The autumn rain lasted for three days and the temperature became cooler.

The winding team stopped outside Yecheng, and the horse's hooves stopped. Yuan Shao looked at the mottled and scorched city walls and tightened the reins. Before, Yu Du from Lucao Mountain led tens of thousands of bandits to attack the city and burned and killed and robbed the city. If he hadn't been for his composure to calm himself down and stabilized the morale of the army, he might have become a loser. Tian Feng, a counselor in the army, suggested not to save Yecheng, but instead attack Heishan. After all, the bandits' families were all in the mountains. As long as the bandits retreated to rescue, they would ambush halfway.

Fortunately, I took the risk and bet right this time.

Looking at the broken city wall, Yuan Shao became sentimental. The losses in Yecheng were not great. The property and food robbed by the bandits were also snatched back halfway. After entering the city, many buildings on the street were destroyed and smashed. It was not serious. Occasionally, the remaining blood could be seen on the ground. The bodies were probably carried away by the bandits after retreating, and there was still a smell of uncomfortable blood in the air.

Yuan Shao held a complete grudge against Zhang Yan of Heishan, but the other thing that made people fear was Gongsun Zan of Youzhou. When he received the news of Liu Yu's death, he was fighting fiercely. Now that the war has slowed down, he was secretly alert in his heart that Zhang Yan of Heishan was just a bandit, with incomplete soldiers and armor, and insufficient food and grass. What he did was limited after all. However, the replacement of Youzhou was two problems with the white horse general and the bandits in the mountains.

"Lord... Liu Yu has been in Youzhou for many years and is known as benevolence and is loved by the people. Now he has been forced to take over by Gongsun Zan and is not popular with the people. He will be backfired after a long time." The person who said that was Tian Feng, a former leader in Jizhou.

Yuan Shao took off his armor, sat behind the long desk, picked up the wine cup and shook it slightly, "I know this, now that the war has slowed down, can it be fought with Gongsun Zan again? This is not a long-term way, and the medieval families in the state must also have complaints."

"Lord, there is a plan." A figure next to him, with a high cheekbones and a mustache, a medium figure, looked at the counselor who had spoken before, and stood up and bowed: "... Gongsun Zan would not win the hearts of Liu Yu. There must be Liu Yu's loyal people in the counties of Youzhou. First, they can use their prestige with foreign races. The lord can be friendly with the Xianbei and Wuhuan. At that time, the three routes will advance together. Even if Gongsun Zan has the talent to command troops, he will not be able to resist the three routes at the same time. If the troops are defeated and died, the lord can avenge Liu Youzhou and sit firmly in Youzhou."

On the other side, Yuan Shao stroked his beard and closed his eyes. When the corner of his mouth was unconsciously raised, he suddenly said, "Lord, no!" and said, "Lord, no!" as he frowned, opened his eyes, and saw Tian Feng quickly walking out of the seat: "... Although what Guo Gongze said makes sense, he can't be too hasty. Now Heishan has broken up with his lord, how can he set off another battlefield at will? If Gongsun Zan and the bandits in the Black Mountain rekindled and attacked our army's rear again, the morale of the front line will be unstable and will not be far from defeat. Once the lord is afraid of his feet and stops moving forward, the Xianbei and Wuhuan will definitely be afraid of the reputation of the White Horse General, and all his previous efforts will be wasted."

"Well... Yuan Hao's words are not unreasonable. I intend to eliminate Zhang Yan from Heishan first and then confront Gongsun Zan. But now that the soldiers are trapped, how can I fight again?"

Yuan Shao stood up and walked with his hands in his arms, sighing: "If there are three or five years, if there are enough soldiers and food, why not be afraid of Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan?"

At this time, the civil officials were in the listing, and the man named Xun Chen stood up and bowed, "Lord, it is reported that after Lu Bu was defeated in Chang'an, he intends to defect to Jizhou. Lu Bu is rare in the world. He has a strong general under his command. Why not recruit him and send him out his troops..."

"Nonsense..." Beside him, Feng Ji stood up and pointed at the other party and scolded: "Lu Bu is granted a marquis and is in a high position. How can he come to Jizhou? How can he let the lord handle himself at that time?"

"How can this person be turned away?"

"Tiger and Wolf"

"Why try it? How can you make a small town cause storm?!"

...

In the room, there was a quarrel. Yuan Shao rubbed his forehead and felt a headache. He looked at the screen behind him, "Lu Bu...Lu Bu...How can't you use it..."

"I insist on using him..."

Whisper.

...

The light rain was still falling, and the man who was murmuring was already passing by Chaoge with a huge team, doing some rest outside a town that was not famous, and then set off to the north. Because before, Heishan attacked Yecheng by poison, most of the soldiers and horses passed by these places, causing many burns, killing and robbing. The residents of the town probably saw the soldiers in front of him, and were afraid to avoid them. There was almost no figure on the spacious official road.

In the light rain, Zhang Liao inspected the team rode a horse from the front from the rear. When he spoke to Cheng Lian, Song Xian bowed to him, "Fengxian, where are we really going to Yuan Benchu? Before the Seshui Pass that day, we had a holiday with him. Will he be hurt by him in the past? Why not go to Zhang Yang?"

"I have always had a good relationship with Uncle Zhi, but now I, Lu Bu, am so dirty. Isn't my face in the past? I asked for some food and grass to help me the day before yesterday, and I was too ashamed to say..."

Before Lu Bu finished speaking, he rode a fast horse in the back: "Report to the lord... The lady is sick from the rain, and the lady is anxious to call you over..."

His face changed suddenly.

The red rabbit horse was neighing for a long time, and his armored figure suddenly pulled the reins, "You are young, Wen Yuan, I'll go there for a trip." Then he ran towards the carriage behind the team.

"Fengxian...ah..." Zhang Liao clenched his fist and slapped hard into the air.

After a long time, they had arrived fifty miles away from Yecheng. After receiving Yuan Shao's placement, they were all in two days.

*********************************

In Zhongshan, in the mountains, the rain stopped and the sky was still gloomy.

From time to time, howlings that really belong to wolves came from the mountains and forests. A huge white blew straight down from the forest and rushed into the big village. Many people were naturally frightened when they saw the big wolf and avoided it from afar, but no one went forward to kill them. They still broke into the military camp inside and headed towards the small attic.

On the other side, on the school ground, two thousand soldiers were crowded here, and soldiers were practicing. The windy sword wind and the gun forest came with neat movements. Everyone on the field shouted slogans such as "Huha!" and sweated wildly with their bare arms.

Pan Feng, who was big and round, was wearing a cow horn helmet, correcting the soldiers in the team that were not good at acting. His eyes were flashing with excitement. Like Hua Xiong, he was a serious soldier. Unfortunately, Hua Xiong was good at cavalry, while he was good at infantry. Although there were not many cavalry on the mountain now, he was enough to deal with the current difficulties. At this time, he was ordered by Gongsun Zhi and began to select a group of soldiers who were good at infantry fighting.

If you think about it carefully, there will be signs of reinstatement in the future.

He raised his head and rubbed his beard under his chin, and his eyes swept over the soldiers below who were practicing weapons majestic, but thought about something uncontrollable, "My mother said I was born to be blessed... I shouldn't lie to me."

The footsteps sounded from afar, and the figure greeted him outside the school grounds: "Old Pan, how are the soldiers practicing? Should I go to have a pot with me first? It was given to the leader by the Zhen family, a wealthy family in Jizhou."

The person who came was Gao Sheng. He was not a cavalry general, but he was in charge of the most elite wolf cavalry in the team. I heard that the leader's father gave him a thousand white horses, and the training of the cavalry was mostly at the foot of the mountain, and was led by a guy named Cao Chun. I still felt a little unfair... Why did I let a famous general in Jizhou train a group of bandits...

"Be serious, I am training troops and I don't have time to drink." Pan Feng frowned and waved his arm, "...I'm showing my face for the first time in front of the leader, don't mess with me..."

Gao Sheng nodded, and without saying much, he turned around and left. On the platform built with soil over there, the words were still chattering: "...But, please leave me a pot and drink it with you in the evening..." He turned his head and opened his mouth slightly: "...Where is the person?"

On the other hand, two days later, a certain smell left in the attic room had already dissipated. Gongsun Zhi was looking at some military books recorded in bamboo slips. After getting used to cloth silk, it was quite difficult to see the small characters on the bamboo slips. On the bed opposite, the woman holding a woman's headdress cut a hole in the cloth on the sheets and sewing them again with stitches. Under the blink of an eyelash, her eyes occasionally glanced at the man reading quietly there, her eyes were filled with spring, and her cheeks were quite shy.

The crawling white wolf yawned boredly, shook his mane, half-drooped his eyelids and looked at the two of them. The forefoots overlapped and were about to take a nap. The footsteps in the corridor pedaled up. It raised its ears and looked coldly at it. It was a female manager who pushed the door and stood at the door: "...Chief, Zhang Yan of the Black Mountain Army is here."

Under the candlelight, put down the bamboo slips.

"I'm waiting for him, but I thought I wasn't here."

On the other side of the bed, Cai Yan bit off a thread, put down the needle and thread in hand, stood on the ground, took the cloak and put it on him, "Husband, go and do it, Zhang Yan comes here in person, I think it's an urgent matter to ask for a copycat."

"Yeah! I know."

As soon as the cloak rose, Gongsun Zhi left with great strides. He was not a person who was particularly nostalgic for the gentle country, but when there was nothing to do, he would mostly accompany his wife. After walking out the door, the woman looked around the door and squatted down to look at the white wolf with her head raised: "...you go too, don't treat yourself as a dog."

The white figure was more supportive than the squatted figure. It seemed to sneeze with disdain and turned around and chased after it. Cai Yan was left with a rather annoyed chin and looked at the two left behind.
