The night gradually faded, and a blue and white ray appeared in the east, and the bonfire with sparks remaining was filled with smoke.

The sound of people and horses in the camp became noisy. Gongsun Zhi wiped the hilt of the knife at his hand, and then he woke up. He walked out of the tent. The horses outside neighed. The soldiers began to join the team with weapons. Shadows came and went from his sight one by one. Li Ke yawned with a mace and said, "Captain, the time is almost here."

Gongsun Zhi nodded and glanced at the blue sky.

"After giving in the infantry, the cavalry was slowed down a little, set off now and rest for one night. Cao's army has almost recovered. Be careful about everything."

Li Ke turned his head and looked at the Cao army's garrison, showed a silly smile, and whispered: "Wen Hou and Changshi had been guarding against Cao Cao, and the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and a team of infantry have been stationed outside since night."

"You are smart, do you think Cao Cao would know?"

The early wolf king's eyes flashed with smiles, and he never stings with his kindness. Soon after, the army gathered again, and the horse's hooves stepped out about a little in front of the gate. The Youyan infantry formed an array to face the east. The four cavalrymen of Bingzhou Iron Cavalry, White Wolf Cavalry, Black Mountain Cavalry and Guard Wolf Cavalry all got off the horses and stood quietly. Gongsun Zhi rode his horse forward and appeared above his vision through the wooden frames of everyone.

Among the wooden frames built layer by layer, there were layered figures wearing armor, and weapons were placed beside them, lying quietly inside, with their faces closed. The array was solemn and quiet, and someone lit a torch in front and headed towards the opposite side.

In Cao's camp, Cao Cao rubbed his forehead with a slightly painful forehead and walked out of the tent. He was about to ask about some matters, but someone quickly came from the front: "Brother, Gongsun Zhi's people are out of the camp. It seems that they are leaving, but they are a little strange outside."

In Xiahou Yuan's sight, Cao Cao frowned and turned over the horse, raised his whip and shouted softly: "Go!" He rushed out to the gate. He and his personal soldiers hurried out of the camp. Then more generals saw this scene. They didn't know what happened, but they also rode a horse and chased them not far from the gate.

"What are his people doing, Gongsun Zhi, and what are they doing..."

Cao Chun pursed his lips tightly, as if he was trapped in the memories of the past. After a while, he whispered: "........ Heroic souls who died in battle under his command."

In the blue sky, the east was exposed and shone golden, and a beam of fire was burning in people's hands.

Above the field, in front of the high wooden frame, Gongsun Zhi dismounted his horse and took the torch, walked step by step towards the wooden frame, looked at the corpses lying on it, and was silent for a moment, threw the torch swaying in his hand into the air, drew a long track, and landed on the wooden frame. The flames ignited and then spread. In this golden morning, a huge pillar of fire was ignited.

"For you and my brother..." Li Ke's voice shouted in the team, "... Say goodbye!!"

Bang!

Bang bang bang bang bang... The weapons all hit the ground, making neat sounds. The people who were still alive this morning looked at the burning fire to send their friends who were familiar or unfamiliar. After a long time, the fire gradually faded, the soldiers began to step forward to collect their ashes and take them back to Shanggu County for burial.

"Take them home"

Gongsun Zhi shouted on the back of the horse, turned around and turned around. At the gate where he looked, Cao Cao rode his war horse and stayed in front of him. His beard was stroking in the breeze. He stretched out his hand and arched towards the figure opposite.

"Gongsun, Cao Cao will not be lenient in the future. You should also do your best to let the horse come over."

The war horses neighed, Gongsun Zhi looked at him and slowly raised his hands. After this farewell, he might be the enemy when he sees him again in the future, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha... OK!"

Gongsun Zhi suddenly tied the reins, turned his horse's head toward the soldiers around him, and the general shouted: "We will go home and go south again next year."

He rode his horse towards the north.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, in mid-July, Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's army in Guandu for less than 50,000 troops. The latter was even killed by Gongsun Zhi in the formation in the defeat, and news that shocked the world spread.

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

On the fifth day of August, a 30,000 troops south of the Yangtze River were training in the school ground. Two thousand cavalrymen who had gathered were racing outside the school ground. On the wooden platform, Sun Ce looked at the team carefully prepared for the sneak attack on Xu Du. Soon, he was about to head north.

"Cao Cao is busy fighting with Yuan Shao now. Even with Gongsun Zhi helping him, it is not easy to remain undefeated. It will be at least next year or even longer to decide the victory or defeat. Ziyi, you said that if I attack Xudu, Cao Cao would be unable to take care of the beginning and end. Will he be defeated faster?"

Holding the wooden railing with one hand and pressing the hilt with the other hand, Sun Ce spoke in a relaxed tone. Since the assassination that day, he seemed to be a new life and felt confident about what he would do in the future. What's more, he was twenty-five years old this year, and with the one or two thousand borrowed troops to build such a large foundation, he had the desire to meet the heroes of the world.

Next to him, the general named Ziyi was more than seven feet long, with a strong body and a steady aura. His name was Taishi Ci, his courtesy name was Ziyi, and he was from Donglai. He was originally a general of Liu Yao, and later surrendered to Sun Ce. He frowned: "It may be a pleasure to take down Xudu for a moment, but then we will face Yuan Shao. Knowing that we were snatching food from the tiger's mouth, we would definitely be angry and lead a large army to face the border. At that time, we were far away from Jiangdong, and this battle would be difficult to fight."

Sun Ce looked at the schoolyard and smiled, and waved his hand indifferently: "You can fight or not, and you have to fight again. Cao Cao dares to face his attacks. If I take over Xu Du, I will still shrink and dare not step forward. Wouldn't it be a loss of my father's reputation? As long as the emperor is in hand, there will be no enough troops."

The two then walked off the platform and discussed the reasons for sending troops on the school grounds. The details were not decided yet, and someone came here from afar and handed over a message from Baqiu.

"Gongjin wrote this time..." After receiving the information, Sun Ce frowned in confusion, spread the Subo, swept his eyes one by one, his brows became more and more tight. Taishi Ci next to him noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange and whispered: "Lord..."

Over there, his eyebrows were stretched out. Sun Ce shook his head, smiled, and handed Su Bo to Taishi Ci, "Yuan Shao was defeated... he was still defeated so badly that he even lost his life..."

"Will the news be wrong?" Taishi Ci felt a little shocked after reading the above content. The army of more than 200,000 was not a group of straw men. It almost collapsed overnight, which made people feel incredible.

"Gongjin has always been cautious, and this information should be proved."

The figure still smiling walked back with his hands behind his back, but the smile on his face looked much stiffer. After a moment, he said, "The incident of sneak attack on Xu Du... let's put it aside for the time being."

It is really hard to believe such information mixed with huge information, but it is actually the latest to receive it in Jiangdong. The place closest to the north has proved the authenticity of the news. The fast horses who inquired about the information traveled back and forth, southeast, west and north, and continued to spread. The officials in Xudu City who had sincerely expressed to Yuan Shao in the past will inevitably be avoided all night.

In the imperial city, Liu Xie, who was already in power over the world, walked between the gardens with his hands in his arms. When he heard the information from his confidant behind him, his steps stopped and spit on the ground like a rough man, "Four generations and three dukes...behind the four states...hundreds of thousands of soldiers...I bah!"

He was not the real emperor's identity, but his past identity was erased from the depths of his memory. His ambitions were growing in his wealth and wealth. He also thought that one day he could truly rule the world, but he had no choice but to rely on Cao Cao, but one day... well, he still wanted to discuss it with the queen. His thoughts were broken, and he thought about it.

In Baizifang, the woman holding the little girl dragged her long skirt and looked at the horizon in the north. Her soft and gentle face had no expression for a moment. She didn't know whether to laugh or scold the man.

...

While the news of the war in the north continued to ferment, Yuan Shao suddenly died without making any advice. Yuan Tan wanted to return to Yecheng but was rejected by the guard Shen Pei and looked at the city indignantly: "I am the eldest son. After my father goes, Jizhou should be mine. I will remember that I will get it back sooner or later!" Then, he led the remaining troops to Qingzhou.

On the battlefield of Guandu, the bodies were buried, and the defeated soldiers returned to the city to wait for a new round of reorganization. Wen Chou led an army to walk aimlessly across Liyang, looked at the top of the city, and looked back at the soldiers behind him. His expressions of hope were full of hope, which made him feel that he had nowhere to go.

"It's better to go to the north, anyway, this has been spread outside." The deputy general suggested.

Wen Chou looked at the sky light, his spirit was a little depressed, he let out a long sigh, nodded with difficulty, "That's all."

Raise your hand and point further north.

....

In Youzhou, it was drizzling and the road was muddy and slippery. An old man walked across the country road in a mess with a spear. The rumors he had heard before were quite glad that he had made a decision.

"Fortunately I left quickly... I knew that Yuan Shao was a terrible person."

When passing by a house, an eleven or 2-year-old boy outside seemed to be rushing home for dinner. He ran over the old man quickly. After a moment, he suddenly turned back. His tender face was covered with rain, looking at the big gun in the old man's hand.

"Do you know martial arts?"

The old man laughed out loud by him and nodded: "I am the King of Guns in Hebei. How can I not know how to do martial arts? Does the young man want to learn martial arts?"

"I think so, then do you teach me?"

"May I have your name."
