As August begins, the summer heat has not yet withdrawn. The trade of the entire northern border is Shanggu County, a caravan carrying fur, muscles and bones, and driving horses come and go to the official roads as usual.

The news of Yuan Shao's defeat in Jizhou is still fermenting here. For the people, merchants, soldiers and other middle and lower structures of Shanggu County and even other counties in the northern part of the country, the heat after autumn cannot cover up the joy of the news. The three masters of the four generations and the famous families have no meaning to them. On the contrary, they are more content with the current situation of having no worries about food and clothing.

After the news came, a group of merchants who were originally close to the Northland Wolf King finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces were full of joy all day long. As for the conflict with the aristocratic families in trade, it is no longer worth mentioning at the moment. After all, the good days in the future have been extended a lot.

On the other hand, in this atmosphere, General Mansion of Zhenbei and Shanggu County Government Office have been secretly promoting the formation of a businessman's information network. Under such a warm atmosphere, the caravan returning from the grassland sent a fast horse and returned to the capital Juyang first.

"Madam, there has been news from the north that several Xianbei cavalry have lost contact. I am afraid that the superintendents who serve in it have suffered a tragic surprise."

In the flowerbed of the mansion, several pairs of feet were walking on the gravel-paved path. As the last roar of the autumn cicada, Wang Lie on the left raised his head and saw the birds falling on the branches stretching into the middle of the road. After his voice fell, Bing Yuan on the other side nodded, "I have been in the Xianbei for several years and are familiar with my temper. Ordinary herders will never rebel again. The new generation of Xianbei people mostly know Chinese language, like my Han clothes, and it is difficult for people to starve to death in winter. They are also used to using sheep and cattle to exchange with our great man. Then they will use swords and weapons to rob them, unless there is a greater benefit than now."

"What the Prince Bing said is." Wang Lie grinned while stroking his long beard, "The lord probably also looked at the method of Liu Youzhou and Xianbei and Wuhuan trading with each other, but in the end, the lord tied the Xianbei to death and fully reflected the two words of dependence."

Behind the two of them were walking, a woman surrounded by maids tied her hair and was wearing a black dress. She was wearing a rosy jade-like corners of her mouth and listened to them. Although Cai Yan was Gongsun Zhi's wife, the two in front were in official positions. She finally had to give in and keep some distance.

"...... Then, should Suo Nu lead his troops south or go elsewhere? The soldiers under my husband's command have never had the truth of dying in vain."

After the other party finished speaking, Cai Yan slowly interrupted. She handed her hands on her lower abdomen. Looking at the two county officials who turned around, her eyes narrowed, and there was a smile on her lips: "Since they are wearing Han clothes, they should do our Han etiquette. If they say they are rebellious, they will rebel. If they are not punished seriously, wouldn't it make the latecomers be lucky?!"

"What does Madam mean?"

"According to the lost contact Xianbei soldiers and horses, they only gathered tens of thousands of cavalry and had no power to attack the city. I thought Suo Nu should go to Qiushui to rescue him and kill him at 80,000 Xianbei herders.

A blooming flower broke in her hand, and the petals fell one after another. The delicate embroidered shoes stepped on the petals on the ground. In the brilliant skylight, Cai Yan's voice was softly said: "Go to Go and write to Go Bey Shanyu. He seemed to have a cavalry stationed nearby, asking him to entangle the lock slave and wait for my husband to return to the city before making a decision."

Although the woman who spoke was not the person in charge, her words were of some importance in this city. After all, Bingyuan and Wang Lie had such a plan, so they naturally agreed.

Soon, a team of fast horses quickly left the city in a letter and headed towards the horse city...

At the same time, on the grasslands in western Liaoning, which is more than 400 miles apart, tens of thousands of cavalrymen rolled up and dust covered the sky and covered the sun and headed south.

"Snap the horse speed and hurry to the next tribe before dark!" Xianbei shouted in the team.

"Huho!"

In the vast team, there were also many fierce and sharp voices responding. Occasionally, passing by the small tribe grazing beside the water, seeing someone looking at them, the knight on the horse waved the blade and pointed at the other party, in Xianbei words: "Go back!"

A Xianbei woman was so scared that she quickly picked up her child, turned around and crawled into the tent. The man realized something and whispered to the Han scholar who was about to come out in Chinese: "Get in, don't come out."

Soon, the cavalry team spread all over the mountains and fields in their sight had just passed and disappeared in the distance. It was almost noon and the sky was hot. Suo Nu brought this 10,000 cavalry out of the central grassland overnight. After walking and stopping, more than two hundred miles had passed. He probably wanted to follow Gongsun Zhi's quick lightning attack tactic, directly take down the Qihoshui and transfer the herdsmen.

"Let the people behind stop, rest on the spot, and feed the horse water."

After giving the order, Suo Nu turned over and dismounted, patted the horse's butt, and asked it to chew on the grass by itself. Then he threw the horse whip to the ground and sat down on a stone. "A hundred miles down is the tribe of the Dingling people. When they captured these people, Gongsun Zhi threw them next to my Xianbei and wanted to restrain me..."

The wild wolf mud horse stopped here, jumped off the horse's back, handed the water bag to the other party, and then spit out roughly on the ground: "Shanyu, then we might as well kill the Dingling people and then go over. I feel unhappy when I look at the Dingling people in the ice and snow in the north."

"Don't waste time." Suo Nu returned the water bag to him, stood up and waved his hand heroically: "If Gongsun Zhi had come to fight this battle, he would never hesitate about his personal preferences. I, a man in the grassland, never feared bleeding, and could not do such unwise things!"

As we walked south, although we imitated Gongsun Zhi's quick attack, how could the movements of the ten thousand cavalrymen be small? At present, there were years of stability and small tribes, and the movements that were alarmed along the way naturally caused a considerable scale, but the distance between them was too far away. Even if someone wanted to inform the news, it would be difficult to rush ahead of the other side for a while.

Just when Suonu and Hu Dai Yelang Ni led 10,000 Xianbei cavalry to launch a long-distance raid on the Choushui, the army far away in Changping, Youzhou had already entered Juyong Pass. Gongsun Zhi met the guard general Shan Jing, had lunch together, and said something to comfort the other party before continuing on the way back.

Occasionally, a cool breeze blew over the foot of the mountain, and from time to time, birds and cicadas were intertwined, either light or low, and Gongsun Zhi took off his iron helmet and let the warm sweat on his forehead invade the cool breeze. In his vision, the swaying leaves turned slightly yellow.

"When I left, it was not long before spring came, and it was autumn again when I came back."

Not far away, the fiery red rabbit horse slowly approached, and the man wearing the beast-faced chain armor also looked at the green all over the mountain and smiled: "The autumn scenery in Shanggu County is beautiful, but fortunately it can catch up with this scenery."

Lu Bu turned his head slightly and paused his words, "By the way, there was news from behind just now, and an army was hanging behind, as if it was Wen Chou."

"Wen Chou?" The eyes were taken back from the figure of the army winding on the official road. Gongsun Zhi frowned and called a messenger: "Send a cavalry to ask, Wen Chou, one of the four pillars of Hebei, what do I want to do when I come here."

Lu Bu looked at the horse leaving and smiled: "Some family thinks that he is here to join Governor Gongsun. His name of Wen Chou is confirmed. How can Yuan Shao's three sons keep him?" The smile gradually faded and his eyes turned to the mountains and fields: "...just like I did in the past."

"Will Mr. Wen hold a grudge against me for killing Sima Yi?"

"What are you holding a grudge? Can you still kill you? Cheng Xueyong and the common man are different. Over the years, have I, Lu Bu, not yet made progress?"

Lu Bu withdrew his gaze and stroked the mane of the Red Rabbit, "It is the most rare thing to be a pure general now, and fighting a pure battle."

After the Battle of Xuzhou, this tiger, who had been in the Central Plains for a while, had been in Shanggu County for many years. Although the peak had not yet passed, he had seen many things that had not been seen before in some blows to the past. There were several volumes of military books he read. Perhaps after the peak, Gongsun Zhi could see a general Lu Bu who was in charge of the command, rather than a powerful general who charged.

"...... And you, Gongsun, when you met you in the past, you remembered a wild and fierce wolf, as if the whole world was your hunting ground." Lu Bu turned his head to look at him, "But now he has become more and more like Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, becoming hypocritical!"

In the distance, there was a scout passing by the team and running towards this side.

On the small slope, Gongsun Zhi looked at the knight from afar, his tone was plain and slow, "What can I do if I remain unchanged? The team is getting bigger and bigger, and this world will fight at any time. The water chestnuts of the past will eventually be smoothed out. Those who snatched around will not be filled with so many mouths. Since those brothers cannot change, I can only make changes. This is the difference between me and Wen Hou."

"I can't tell you."

Lu Bu shook his head with the painting halberd, and was about to leave when the scout below had already come here. The figure quickly jumped off his horse and bowed: "Report to the lord, Shanggu County has a urgent letter to come."

The giant man standing next to him stepped forward and took the silk from the scout and handed it over to Gongsun Zhi on the horse's back. He was riding a horse downhill and left. When he turned around, he frowned when he saw Gongsun Zhi frowning, and then stopped and stopped: "What's the matter?"

"This lock slave!"

Gongsun Zhi suddenly roared and waved his hand violently. The silk was thrown to the ground. "I only hit him at the end of the year before yesterday, but now I am rebelling." Around him, Dian Wei, Li Ke and other generals looked over and shouted, "Lord, what are you waiting for? Brothers can still fight, and a group of Xianbei monkeys can still rush to heaven."

"It seems that you forced others to be too anxious." Lu Bu also said.

On Jueying's back, Gongsun Zhi straightened up, his face looked a little bad. He stared at the information he had thrown down, "...Suo Nu took the opportunity to make trouble at this time. He saw that no matter whether I win or not, he would be seriously injured. Moreover, the journey was long, enough for him to have time to remove the Xianbei hostages from the Xianbei royal court. The lightning attack I learned from me wanted to take the Qiushui straight..."

The scimitar slowly pulled out of the sheath, and the voice was low: "......... Over the years, it seems that the Xianbei people have lived so comfortably. I almost forgot that my Gongsun Zhi's knife once cut off the heads of tens of thousands of Xianbei people and sent a command."

"Why let me go."

Lu Bu's voice suddenly interrupted, and he lifted his halberd and stood on the slope: "...I came out of Wuyuan and entered Bingzhou and Central Plains. I thought that it had been many years since I killed the Hu people. They probably forgot how Lu Bu got the name of a flying general. That was to kill them and kill them!"

"I am naturally relieved when Wen Hou went over, but there were more than 10,000 riders in Xianbei this time."

"Hahaha" The tip of the halberd swayed, and the fiery red war horse immediately, his mighty figure tied the reins, turned his head and laughed loudly. The next second, the words spread heroically: "Gongsun, I have already said it just now.... How can a man be timid when he is alive? He chases the most ferocious prey and kills the most powerful enemy!"
