Chapter 75 The warmth before the dark tide

The night is blue and dark, and the clouds accumulate thickly.

Chang'an.

The night breeze blew across the city, swaying the lanterns on Situ's mansion, hundreds of soldiers stood quietly outside holding torches. Soon after, a wide and fat figure swayed out with alcohol. The graceful woman beside her walked up to the carriage parked at the door. The shaft of the carriage slowly rolled out. Several teams of soldiers followed behind like a long dragon, heading back to the original road.

The car body shook lightly, and a rough laugh rang inside.

"...Situ is really my husband's humerus, so I'm so happy to see this beauty. Hahaha--"

The raised belly, through the brocade, gently brushed the soft and boneless fingers, leaning against the thick thighs, and his rosy lips opened and closed, and his voice was charming: "The Grand Master should have some expression."

His eyes blinked and became cold.

Lu Bu... If you don't like me, someone will fall in love with you... Don't regret it... And Gongsun Zhi, Hongchang remembers that knife... as a return to you.

"Reward! Of course, I should reward you. With a beauty like you, I can't sleep at night! Hahaha--"

Dong Zhuo's wild voice shaking with the rise and fall of the shaft. As for the matter tonight, it seems insignificant in front of the word "Tianxia", but it is also a crucial link. In the other direction, there is another link that occurs where a few people are watching, and is quietly changing.

north.

From King Wuling of Zhao, to the Qin and Han dynasties, and even in the next few eras, the nomadic peoples and farming people formed a trend of water and fire. After the Hanwu period, the Xiongnu were weak and divided into north and south. The Donghu, which was once defeated by the Xiongnu, split two tribes. Xianbei and Wuhuan broke away from the control of the Xiongnu, Tan Shihuai unified the Xianbei tribes and repeatedly plundered the border south, killing and abducting officials and people. In the sixth year of Xiping, Emperor Ling of Han Liu Hong sent three armies, and 10,000 cavalry from each other divided their troops out of the frontier. Soon after, he was defeated and returned.

In the fourth year of Guanghe, Tan Shihuai died and the Xianbei split again. With Budugen's unexpected death, the Xianbei in the western region showed unprecedented chaos. At the beginning of the evening, the towns in the Central Plains competed for the city. No one noticed much about the area north of the Qihou River. One day in May, thousands of cavalry and infantrymen spread around the vast grasslands and hills, and flags were flying for several miles.

After receiving the news of Budugen's death, the Xianbei Kebineng tribe finally came to receive the tribe herders and her pastures, and the troops brought by them faintly threatened Ning County, Macheng, and even Dai County.

However, Kebi was always rational. Before coming here, he informed the Han Dynasty of several cities on the border, and he had no intention of attacking the city.

Huhuhu--

The wind was blowing hard, and the night was deep, and spots of fire were burning in the camp. In a further direction, the Western Xianbei herders who came to visit were investigated by soldiers and then put them in the back camp that had been prepared.

The fire burned in the brazier in the big tent in the center of the camp. Ke Bineng, who was already in the middle, did not rest early. In addition to a few commanders and small commanders of various divisions, there was also a thin and tall man standing in the middle, staring at by the generals emitting bloody smell around him. He thought that the Xianbei in the West had also resisted, and he came after killing people.

"Bu Dugen... is really stupid to be attacked and killed in his own tribe." Kebi could cut off a piece of flesh with a knife and look at the man in the middle with a majestic look: "... Gongsun Zhi is Gongsun Zan's son. Is this news reliable?"

The man nodded: "When the Shanyu, the news was correct. There were less than a thousand people on the other side. However, after hearing the soldiers who were attacked that night, there was a wolf disaster, which attracted most of the soldiers to the east, so that this person successfully attacked."

After the other party finished speaking, Ke Bi Neng frowned and stopped the knife that was shaved in his hand. "Gongsun Zan's reputation is available. This person is also a cruel person, so..." The man in the middle of the knife said: "You go and surrender, it's better to succeed. I don't know how to tell him."

After the man left, he whispered in the tent, and a thousand-man leader stood up: "Shanyu, since he is the son of Gongsun Zan, he will not surrender. Moreover, we have had a fight with Gongsun Zan and have a grudge against each other."

"No need to worry too much." The figure chewing ahead wiped the grease from the blade, and the sound sank: "...I will die if I descend or not. Lead the troops to quietly surround the place."

A loud sound.

A sharp knife was inserted into several tables.

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

White Wolf Yuan.

In the deep grassland night, fire lights up from the hills in the view, and occasionally the wind blows from there, and the sound of people whimpering and cheerful.

Since May, after March, the food problem of winter has been the top priority, for the chaotic Xianbei herders, the white wolf cavalry under Gongsun Zhi's jurisdiction is like a season of hunting and harvest. In two months, it has been robbed hundreds of times, and cattle, sheep and horses are the main targets, and the harvest is quite good, and it can temporarily cope with the problem of not having enough food at the moment.

On the other hand, Gao Sheng brought hundreds of cattle and sheep and war horses to the Black Mountain Army three times, of which nearly two thousand horses were in total. This was a huge amount for Zhongyuan. The things that were exchanged for, millet and wheat only accounted for a very small part, and weapons and hooves accounted for a huge proportion. In two months, the armor made by blacksmiths in the Black Mountain Army had only 200 pairs of horse armor, which was already their greatest limit.

The White Wolf Origin currently relies on plundering the scattered Xianbei and the Xiongnu to achieve supply, which greatly made the limited number of wolf riders feel extremely burdened. Gongsun Zhi understood this truth, Dongfang Sheng understood this truth, and even Cao Chun, who had just joined, also understood the biggest disadvantage of the White Wolf Origin.

However, in this corruption situation, we can only keep our energy and sail against the current.

...

Through the hills and forests, the noise of the bustling sound became louder and louder, and the fire shone on the night sky.

A cut-off tree pole burned a huge pillar of fire. Mars jumped up and rose to the night sky along the heat flow. Around the pillar of fire, more than a dozen fat sheep strung on the wooden rack dripped with attractive grease. The blade quickly cut off a few pieces of tender meat suitable for the teeth, packed it into the plate, and Jian Shuo trotted up with the wooden plate.

On the hillside in front of the wolf's cave, a spacious place was flattened, and a simple long table was set up. More than ten figures gathered together to drink and eat meat, and there was a loud noise of laughter.

"I will respect the leader first-"

The shouting man picked up the pottery bowl with his shirtless hands and stood up, his face flushed. He thought he had drunk a lot. He held the wine bowl and shouted: "...I can't say it's nice, I just feel so fucking happy to follow the leader!!"

After the words came, he raised his head, and the wine spilled a lot along the corner of his mouth, and the bottom of the bowl raised at everyone: "Who will be next?"

"I!" He stood up in a burly body, stepped on the wooden stake with one foot, his eyes turned red, and then he held up the pottery bowl to toast the figure with a cloak on the long table. Then he sat down again, Gao Sheng slapped the table and stood up, shouting, "Say a few words!"

Hua Xiong glanced at him and said, "I said it."

"You are fucking tricks!" Gao Sheng recalled, and the other party really said the word "I".

When he was still trying to scold, a figure stood up from Gongsun Zhi, held the pottery bowl, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Zhao Ji, please give a bowl to all the leaders."

"Madam..." Everyone was a little surprised, and then someone waved his hand and shouted, "Madam can't do it, you can't drink strong wine..." Gao Sheng glanced at Gongsun Zhi who was also a little surprised, but the woman held the wine bowl and looked down at the man who also came, and then greeted everyone with a generous attitude: "Zhao Ji has also been in the White Wolf Origin for a long time. If you can drink, I can naturally drink it with you."

The woman smiled, raised her head and took a sip, and her eyebrows suddenly frowned, but she still drank it all in big mouthfuls, coughing a few times. After a while, she raised the bottom of the bowl to everyone, and immediately Gao Sheng, Hua Xiong and others clapped their hands and cheered loudly.

"Madam, he has become a hero from a talented woman." Cao Chun no longer had the right clothes and was radiating his head as before, laughing naked, and also picked up the wine: "My wife is a bowl."

Jian Shuo poured the wine, and his little red and delicate hands wanted to hold the drink. Gongsun Zhi reached out and held it down. Cai Yan, who had a flushed face, took his hand away and took it to Cao Chun: "Please--"

Drink it all in one gulp.

"Madam Jing!" Hua Xiong also stood up and picked up the pottery bowl.

Wah, the wine was poured out of the jar, Cai Yan picked it up again, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. This time the wine stains spilled out, and his cheeks became even redder.

At this time, everyone present saw that the originally weak girl was a little different, so they stood up together, raised the wine bowl, and their voices were loud.

"Madam Gao Shengjing!"

"Madam Hua Xiongjing!"

"Madam Cao Chunjing!"

"Li...Madam Li Kejing!"

This time, they all raised their heads and drank first, probably because they had a different view of the girl from the great scholar's knees, rather than the wife of the village who was captured.

...

The howling of wolves sounded in the grassland in a distant way. The night wind was cold and the fire was lightning. Gongsun Zhi returned to the stone room with a confused girl on his back, placed it on the stone bed, covering the blanket, looking at his pretty red face, he reached out and pinched it.

"If you can't drink, what can you do..."

In a daze, the girl seemed to hear words, and moved for a moment. Her delicate and red hand suddenly reached out to hold the man's hand, murmured: "I've worked so hard at you... Gongsun... I... want to help you... I want to keep up with you..."

"Silly girl!"
