Chapter 127 Omen of the Offensive
In the Taihang Mountains, the leaves withered yellow and fell to the ground. When walking on it, there was a rustling sound.
Zhang Yan was wearing a big cloak and built-in armor, accompanied by several trusted leaders. Noisy voices came from the forests around him. Then he stopped to look over there. Someone hurriedly came to report on the situation, turned around and ran back, and gave a roaring command at the crowd.
"General, if we really want to move people over, when we reach other people's territory, we will be under control." Guo Daxian, who had recovered from his injuries, lowered his voice, but his companions around him could also hear it clearly.
The figure walking ahead turned around and looked at him with his hands in his arms, shook his head and turned back, looking at the woods ahead, and continued to walk: "No, this winter is our last time. Gongsun Zhi is aggressive and envious of the population in the mountains. He is nothing more than fighting for the world... After all, what's the difference between us and one of us? One is a bandit, the other wants to be a thief who steals the country... the fuck... aren't they all thieves..."
"But..." Guo Daxian gritted his teeth: "General, what should we do if we are brothers like this? Then Gongsun Zhi is just a city, and it may not necessarily allow more than ten of our leaders to have official positions. If he votes for him, it is better to vote for others?"
The eyes ahead looked over: "Who are you going to vote?"
"cast……"
"We have just fought with him, and he is not as broad as possible to accommodate us." Zhang Yan suddenly shouted: "Submitting to Cao Cao of Dongjun? He is only guarding one city, not far from Yecheng. He is just seeking death! Liu Yu died, and only Gongsun Zan is left in Youzhou. He is Gongsun Zhi's father. Who else can we vote around us with hundreds of thousands of people?! Tell me!"
Qingniujiao, Zuo Wangzhangba and others came over and wanted to persuade: "General, we are too..."
"Stop talking about it"
The voices roared over there, scolding them for a half-step. Zhang Yan waved his hand: "Do you know if you continue to fight, our roots will be completely broken in this mountain. When everyone was the Yellow Turban, the bandits had no choice but to make them become ordinary people again and walk out of the mountain with great dignity. You still want them to be trapped here! Isn't it?!"
"...No." Guo Daxian lowered his head and turned his face, "But there are quite a few people, so we can fight out by ourselves. For example, Bingzhou, where the soldiers and generals are weak. We will capture a few cities and place our families in the mountains. It is also a way out."
The rustling footsteps approached, and he raised his head. Zhang Yan had already walked in, reached out and grabbed his shoulder, and pinched his fingers: "Then what? Do you think I didn't think about it at the beginning? When Ding Yuan left Bingzhou, I almost couldn't help but kill Bingzhou, but the blood was the blood. You can open your eyes and see, we are the Black Mountain bandits, the Yellow Turbans, and the bandits in various parts of Jizhou. Let me tell you, if we take a city, we will rebel after we leave."
After saying that, Zhang Yan muttered to him: "Don't grow your head!" Then, he turned around and continued to walk forward: "Let them speed up. Before the first snow comes, I will see the first group of people embark on the future."
"Yes!" Everyone bowed and shouted.
With their eyes centered on them, the gloomy sky clouds rolled, the wind brushed across the foothills of the mountains with the cold of winter, and the dense figures of the mountains and fields were dragging their families and their relatives. The little leader who was ordered to be a manager in the Black Mountains rushed through the forest with his feet and kept shouting at the walking crowd.
"...Don't be sad for everyone. Only when we leave here can we have a new way of living. We can go out and walk around casually. I heard that Shanggu County is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a large amount of land to be distributed to you. The land belongs to your own. You can plant anything you want. Do you know that this is what General Zhang and the leader Gongsun from the north have earned for us... The villagers should not complain in their hearts... They had no choice but to... They arrived in Qishui and Linhu, where there were food and cold-proof clothes..."
The figure ran among the vast figure, and the sound became intermittent in the noise. On the other side of the mountainside, the old woman protected the earthen house and screamed and waved her arms to prevent the black bandits who came to take her away: "What a shitty Shanggu County, I'm going to sit here, my son is coming back, he's going to marry a wife, this is for him, you can't take me away..."
The old woman had a problem with her mind. Some of them knew her son. Last month, Yu Yu's army had died in the ambush by Yuan Shao. The old woman was raised up, and the earthen house behind her was then pushed down, lying on the shoulder of a black bandit, struggling, crying heart-wrenchingly.
The Qishui River to the west and Linhu to the northwest are the only two basins in the middle of the mountain range. The people who walked out of the mountain brigade slowly moved towards these two meeting points. On the rugged road, in the swagger in the woman's arms, the baby cried uneasily, and the old man shivered with crutches and was squeezed by the crowd with crutches. In such weather, he shivered and shook his head under the trees and cracks in the rocks, and was forgotten. The strong young man and adult men carry useful objects at home, and he often greeted women or children who fell behind. If the hidden forests were removed, the mountains and fields were crowded with human figures.
Even the usually vicious wolf pack and the hungry tiger dare not easily touch this huge and unimaginable migration.
***************************************
One of the people who supported this huge migration had just woken up at this time. Outside the busy and noisy mountain village, the army that came out of the Taihang Mountains arrived last night. Gongsun Zhi was wearing much normal clothes under Cai Yan's service, with a golden pattern and a fox velvet shawl hanging on his shoulders, and the short beard on his chin was neatly taken care of by the woman.
"The generals of this Xiliang army are serious people. Li Ru has eliminated the darkness and viciousness and is also a scholar. His husband should leave a good impression on them so that they can think they have voted for the wrong person."
"Why do I think you seem to scold them..." Gongsun Zhi looked down at his outfit, and smiled and pinched his wife's face, "Okay, I'll go there."
Immediately, when the door was opened, the white wolf followed behind and headed towards the main hall of the mountain village. At this time, it was getting dark. Gongsun Zhi slept a little long. Outside the hall, rows of armored and gun-carved Black Mountain cavalry saw the leader coming, stood straight, and knocked the handle of the gun on the ground, making a neat bang sound.
"The leader arrives" Jian Shuo, who was standing at the door, quickly signed up, then turned around and walked behind the figure who entered.
In the noisy hall, everyone who was kneeling and drinking stood up together. In the guest seat on the right, two figures looked at each other and stood up. They saw the figure wearing fox velvet on the other side walking onto the first tiger chair.
"This is Gongsun Zhi..... It's so powerful..." Next to the general wearing armor, a middle-aged scholar in a shabby Confucian robe nodded secretly, twisting his beard and pointing his head.
"It turned out to be him..." The general looked at the figure walking upwards and felt familiar. He suddenly remembered the memory of Cai Shizhong's daughter after being captured.
In front of the tiger chair, the eunuch took off the fox velvet from the leader's shoulder, Gongsun Zhi pressed his hands down, and after sitting down, everyone sat down, he smiled when he looked at the general on the right: "To put it, this is the second time that I have met General Xu."
"It turns out that Lao Xu and my leader are still familiar... From beginning to end, you don't say anything, you will punish yourself three times later!" Hua Xiong slapped the table and grinned: "This is what you bumped into..."
Over there, Xu Rong smiled and bowed to the top: "At that time, the leader was anxious and Xu was confused because he was so foolish. He didn't want to meet again today. It was rare that it was fate."
Everyone in the hall suddenly laughed. Pan Feng patted several tables and gestured with his fingers and shouted: "Yes! It's his mother's fate. I, Pan Wushuang, are both wise and brave. I fell into the hands of the leader several times. It was General Xu who woke me up with a word. This is really fate."
"Don't run away?" Qian Zhao turned to look at him.
"I'll be the one who wants to be a leader of hundreds of old men?"
Everyone burst into laughter. In the laughter, Gongsun Zhi naturally saw the middle-aged scholar next to Xu Rong and said, "This is Li Ru, Li Wenyou?"
"Yes!" Li Ru was not restrained and stood up and bowed.
Gongsun Zhi picked up the wine cup, buried his head and glanced at him as he looked at him, and his tone suddenly became cold: "What does it feel like to kill an emperor?"
The laughter around suddenly became quiet, leaving only the crackling sound of branches burning in the brazier. Li Ru looked at the drinking figure with a worried face, and couldn't help but tremble. He poisoned the young emperor Liu Bian. This is something he would never accept in his life. His reputation was a matter of being a bad one.
When asked, his palms were sweating.
After a while, the wine cup was put down, Gongsun Zhi grinned, revealing his white teeth: "It must be different. If I have the chance, I want to kill a few too!"
When the scholar heard the other party's words, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the other party wanted to kill him, no matter what trick he had, he could not resist a few blades slashing on his body.
Gongsun Zhi took the small blade and ate it into his mouth, "But, you came here unfortunately..."
“…It’s going to fight!”
………
To the south, Yecheng.
Yuan Shao was furious and broke many things. He walked in the house with his sleeves and looked at the half-kneel figures below for a while. Then he waved indifferently: "I don't blame me for my son. It's cold and cold. You don't have to look for it anymore. Focus on training troops in the camp. The soldiers will be launched in Heishan in the spring of next year."
...
To the north, Jicheng.
Gongsun Zan looked at the letter and smiled at Zou Dan, Yan Gang and others around him, raised the cloth in his hands, and walked back and forth in the warm room with his hands on his back.
"My son really dares to provoke anything. Now he is struggling with the black bandit Zhang Yan to attack Yuan Shao. He is so idle." He turned around and looked at the generals: "...Let's just go join in the fun and bring a few cities to come over. It has already reported that Yuan Benchu's hatred for cheating me that day."
Everyone bowed: "Listen to the lord's order!"
Gongsun Yue came back from outside and brought a bad news: "Brother, Xianbei and Wuhuan's troops are gathering, as if they want to avenge Liu Yu."
"Then let's clean them up first and come back to help me."
It was probably like this, when he left the city gate, Zhao Yun rode alone, ran dozens of feet, looked back at the towering city wall, and ran towards the south that made him a little confused.
