In the hottest days after autumn, the wind blew on people and their skin felt burning. Several large ranches outside Ershi City were bustling and noisy. Under the sun, the figures of people were sweating profusely and distributed war horses. A large number of caravans occupied the official road leading to Ershi City in Dayuan, constantly seeing each other in the two cities.

"I don't know what my family looks like. The princes from all over the country shouldn't fight again..."

Xun Chen stood on the city wall and looked at the outline of the Pamir Mountains on the east. Since Yuan Shao's death, he had originally hidden his name to help the family, but in the end he was invited by Xun Yu to organize the relationship between various caravans and the army. He often gave advice for the Governor Gongsun. It felt like he had returned to being a counselor under Yuan Shao's command, but it was different.

At the beginning, he did not want to get involved in these things and was not optimistic about the way to save the country through the west expedition. However, along the way, the Governor Gongsun showed a different story from the Han army at that time. He massacred the city and killed people, maintained stability and support, and took a two-pronged approach. The caravans in the rear quickly filled the bloody towns that were coming and going. While appeased the local people, they secretly collected wealth, making outsiders afraid of the army, and at the same time, they also maintained a little favor to the Han people outside the army.

Indirectly, the benefits obtained from this favor are turned into logistics for the logistics of the army to nourish the advancement. A large number of craftsmen, civilians, and even many Han women are also helping in the rear team. The soldiers on the front line marching and fighting have rest every now and then, and can see many companions, speaking familiar Chinese language, and listening to the news that they brought to the rear of the Han, the homesickness is more or less explained.

It is autumn now. After the winter and spring, the heavy snow in the Pamir Mountains melts, and more Han Dynasty caravans and even Western Regions vendors will come here to follow the army to gather wealth, but the premise is that the Western Expedition Army can go further.

"Maybe, we can really fight to the Qin people and see how the place in the extreme west looks, it will be worth the trip."

Xun Chen looked at the foot of the distant mountains and let out a sigh of relief. He followed the army to Dayuan and saw the outside world. He was shocked and even many people, some other emotions, and his horizons widened. Looking back at the internal strife and the separatist rule of the princes, even Yuan Shao had turned into a small dust in his memory.

"Just a group of jumping clowns..."

"Military Xun..."

While he murmured softly, he vaguely heard the shouts of people. He turned his head slightly and the sound came again. A figure ran up from the city wall below. Xun Chen frowned: "Why are you so panicked?"

"A bad news came from the west..." The attendant gasped heavily, and after calming down, he approached Xun Chen and whispered a few words.

The scholar turned his head and looked at the direction of the camp outside the city, his eyelids twitched wildly. The next second, he walked down the city wall directly and quickly walked over to the waiting carriage, "... Go to the military camp." After he gave an order, the shaft of the carriage slowly rolled and drove straight out of the city gate.

The sudden incident made the person who received the news unexpectedly. As the news spread, Lu Bu was taking Lu Lingqi to choose a horse in the ranch outside the city. He fought for many years. The Red Rabbit who accompanied him was already old and could not go to the battlefield again in another one or two years.

"Ershicheng is a place where Dayuan specializes in cultivating good horses. There are twenty sweat-blooded horses. Unfortunately, it is difficult to find another red rabbit..." Lu Bu checked the mouth of a white horse and waved his hand to ask the soldiers to pull it away. While speaking, he saw Sun Ce from Jiangdong walking out with a handsome horse with a gray and white hoofed body.

"...Lingqi, you pick one again here and give your curly red rabbit to your father...Lingqi?" After a few steps, the majestic figure turned around and there was no girl's figure. Just as he was about to ask the personal soldiers beside him, Yu Guang saw the daughter who came from behind, and seemed to be quarreling with him...

"It's obvious that you don't have eyes when walking..."

"...It's so rude, but it's really a bit too much."

"Quote... It is obvious that you only care about talking to others but not looking at the way." Lu Lingqi was tall, wearing armor and a cloak on her back, and her voice looked even more heroic and bold, and her voice was overwhelming.

Lu Xun stood there embarrassedly and bowed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes... Xun is wrong first."

"Well, since you know you're wrong, forget it, you're busy with yours." Lu Lingqi wanted to follow her father to see the war horses, but she was not in much mood to stay. She waved the person away and was about to turn around when she met Lu Bu who came towards her, "Why are Daddy here?"

"Looking at you, come and see if you are in trouble. Is that man bullying you?" Lu Bu was tall and saw the young man who had just walked away at first sight. "I just heard you talking, and his accent seemed to be from Jiangdong. Should I ask Sun Ce to apologize for my father to ask Sun Ce to apologize to the man."

"He has already compensated, right?" Lu Lingqi raised her chin with her little hand on her back, and snorted softly: "Besides, who dares to bully Wen Hou's daughter, right? Daddy is so fierce that she beat them all over the ground for teeth!"

"Strange."

Lu Bu smiled and touched her head, but his eyes turned away. Someone came from behind to this side. It was a cavalry in the Bingzhou army. People came to squeeze through the bustling crowd and approached and bowed: "Mr. Wen, General Gao asked Bei Zhi to ask you and the lady to go back."

"What's wrong in the camp?"

The soldier looked around and lowered his voice: "What a big deal happened... the team that was on the quest to rest in peace had only one translator fled back. The atmosphere on Governor Gongsun was a little wrong. General Gao asked Marquis Wen to go back."

"Dad, let's go back quickly."

Hearing this news, the girl's face was not ugly, and she reached out to pull her father next to her. Lu Bu turned to look at her, nodded, and was silent for a moment: "Anxi finally gave the governor a reason to send troops. Isn't it good to live? He has to seek death..."

When he rode out of the ranch, the sound of horns could be heard vaguely in the distance, and a large number of cavalry could see them running on the road. Sun Ce was returning to the military camp with a newly obtained sweat-blooded horse. The two thousand Jiangdong cavalry under his command had gathered, and the signs of large-scale mobilization of soldiers came from the middle army in the distance. People and war horses were shaking the earth, and there was a situation of war.

"Gongjin, what's going on?"

Zhou Yu, who was already dressed in military uniform, turned over and dismounted, with a rare solemn expression on his face: "The team of messengers who went to rest were killed by their emperor... Old General Gongsun may have died too... It seems that the governor will take serious action this time."

Sun Ce turned over and shouted: "Go!"

In the battle on the battlefield, a general of the army would inevitably be killed, but Gongsun Yue had a very good relationship with everyone. On the one hand, although he had the intention of winning over the crowd on his behalf, his feelings were not fake, and many people received this affection. On the other hand, this old general had a high reputation in the north. When Youbeiping was captured by the Wuhuan people, his wife and children in his family were slaughtered, which was absent. Later, he took great care of the soldiers in the army and the middle and lower generals. In order to avoid a war, the old man went on a mission to rest in peace, and everyone admired him. However, after the news of his death, the entire army was like boiling oil pouring into water, and exploded.

When Sun Ce led Zhou Yu to the central army on a horse, some middle and lower generals were already kneeling on one knee outside the commander's tent waiting for the order. Some excitedly held the knife and shouted: "Avenge the old general and were on an envoy... The resting place was a secret move, a group of dog thieves! There is nothing to say, kill them and take their emperor's head to pay tribute to the old general's heroic soul!"

Not far away, the horse's hooves suddenly chased after Zhang Fei, rushing away the intercepted soldiers with a snake spear, stationed outside the tent, shouting: "Governor! The old generals have been cut off their heads, and we are still waiting for a fart, and kill them directly."

Afterwards, Lu Bu and Lu Lingqi also rushed over, and the girl bowed on the horse's back: "Lingqi is willing to be the vanguard!" Soon, Pan Feng, Zhao Yun, Yan Rou, Xiahou Yuan and other generals rushed over.
