In the autumn and July of the sixth year of Yanxing, when the imperial court was planning the expedition to Hebei, Jizhou Mu called himself Hussar General Yuan Shao because Gongsun Duyou, the prefect of Liaodong, had proclaimed himself king and disobeyed his subordinates. He assembled heavy troops in Yuyang County to prepare for the expedition and issued an edict.
Ling You, the troops from the two states of Hebei are expected to unite at Wu End.
Knowing that the imperial court had plans for Hebei, moving troops to Liaodong first did not seem to be a good choice, but Yuan Shao had his own considerations.
First of all, although Liaodong Gongsundu paid lip service to his vassalship, he was not sincere in reality and was very likely to waver between him and the court. If Duan Xuan contacted him and crossed Yanshan when he was defending the enemy in Henan, he would be in the dilemma of being attacked from both sides.
Therefore, during his trip to show off his power in Liaodong, he must not dare to act rashly.
Secondly, after learning that Liangzhou had surrendered, the three armies in Hebei were in great panic. Many people thought that it was difficult for the imperial court to win. Therefore, Yuan Shao planned to train the army first in the name of conquering the east, which could not only boost morale, but also observe which generals had hidden agendas.
.
Finally, he wanted to use a large army to frighten Xianbei and Wuhuan, strengthen their confidence in Yuan's army's victory, and invite them to send troops south to defend against the enemy.
Sure enough, before the various tribes in Hebei gathered together, Kebineng and Tadun learned the news and led the kings of the tribe to the south to gather together. Yuan Shao was very happy, so he sent his troops to hunt in the wilderness of Hunu, at the foot of Qinglong Gorge.
(Below today’s Miyun Reservoir).
One day, Yuan Shao, Ke Bineng, and Tadun led their relatives and generals into Shewei to hunt.
This shooting circle is very large, and countless infantry and cavalry soldiers are used. It is supervised by the state's own soldiers and knights. Whenever a beast escapes from a certain place, the general on duty at that place will be killed. After everyone enters the shooting circle, he sees in the distance
If there were deer and wild horses, he ordered his men to choose a flat and open place, prepare a fire and wait, then he would mount his horse and shoot them. As a result, he shot more than ten wild horses and deer with his own hands. He ordered them to
People roasted their prey and rewarded the soldiers. This happened again and again, and they gradually moved towards a jungle.
Suddenly, a tiger jumped out from the depths of the jungle. The horses in front were frightened and retreated. The generals behind took their bows and arrows and were about to shoot. Unexpectedly, a hunting arrow had already galloped out and hit the tiger's shoulder blade.
, cut into the bone, and blood immediately poured out.
Yuan Shao saw the archer standing next to Ke Bineng, the Shanyu of Xianbei. However, the man wore a military crown, had his hair pulled back at the right side, and wore Han clothes. He was quite conspicuous among the Xianbei people, so he asked Ke Bineng: "This is
Who can shoot so fast?"
Ke Bineng spoke Chinese so well that he answered by himself without the need for translation: "He is Mo Huba of the Buyao tribe in the east, and he has long been famous for his fast archery." In Xianbei, the pronunciation of "Buyao" is the same as "Buyao" in Chinese.
Murong", so Yuan Shao asked again: "My surname is Murong? How strange!"
Mo Huba bowed his hands on his horse and said: "The small tribe has been a king for a long time and admired the style of the Yan Dynasty, so they gathered their hair and wore crowns. The tribes called my tribe Bu Yao, which means 'Guan Bu Yao'." He said.
He also answered in Chinese. Compared with Ke Neng, I can imagine that his word choice was more fluent.
After hearing this, Yuan Shao was quite moved and chatted with Mo Huba for a few words about the classics. Unexpectedly, the answers were fluent, which made him sigh to his followers: "Unexpectedly, there are such good men among Xianbei." He said to Mo Huba again.
"But I think the surname Murong is better. The so-called way of admiring the two rituals (heaven and earth) follows the appearance of the three lights (sun, moon, and stars). Why don't you just change your surname to Murong!" Mo Huba was happy when he heard this.
After dismounting and thanking Yuan Shao, he officially changed his surname to Murong.
At this time, Yuan Shao turned to his subordinates and smiled: "This tiger is injured. Is there anyone among you who dares to capture it?"
He originally looked at Yan Liang, Zhang He and other warriors, but unexpectedly, the first person to say goodbye was Tian Feng. He said, "Tian Feng is willing to go, but my mount is not armored, so I probably don't dare to get close. It takes two people to do it."
My helper." After saying this, he and his two subordinates dismounted from the horse, and approached the tiger from both sides with their long swords in hand.
Although the tiger was seriously injured, his strength was still there. He lay on the ground, raised his forelimbs, and roared at the people who were approaching. The sound was so ferocious that even the knights far behind were so frightened that they fell to the ground with their hooves and remained silent.
Sound.
As if nothing had happened, Tian Feng moved forward with the tip of his spear, stepping on the warm and solid ground, directing his subordinates to approach the tiger little by little from two directions. The tiger roared at Tian Feng for a while, and roared at the subordinates for a while, seemingly at a loss as to what to do.
Know who to pounce on.
So, Tian Feng approached the tiger from the right side. The tiger was furious, and with two paws, he grabbed the tip of the snake. While it was distracted, two riders suddenly rushed towards the tiger from the left side. The tiger was startled.
, as soon as he turned around, he was stabbed into his mouth with the tip of a stick, and another person pierced the tip of the stick into his neck.
Seizing the opportunity of the tiger being in pain, Tian Feng took out his long thorn, like a bird rushing to feed, he flew onto the tiger's back and stabbed the tiger's lower abdomen with the tip of the thorn diagonally. The tiger was in pain and struggled hard, while the other two
They all tried their best to hold down the tiger's head, and used their other hand to pry the thorn upwards. The three wounds were bleeding profusely, and the condition was very scary. Finally, Tian Feng freed up his right hand and inserted it into the tiger's mouth.
He pulled out the big blood-red tongue and cut it off with a knife.
You must know that there are barbs on the tiger's tongue, which can brush off the skin. But Tian Feng was not afraid and took the bloody tongue in his hand to show off to everyone.
Seeing this, all the knights onlookers were dumbfounded. Ke Bineng, Tadun and others were so convinced that they couldn't help but tap their saddles with their riding whips and cheered. Ke Bineng sighed to Yuan Shao: "I saw that this man is of average stature and speaks elegantly.
, I thought he was the counselor of the envoy, but he turned out to be Zie Yu!" Zie is a ferocious beast in Xianbei language, which shows Ke Bineng's amazement.
And all the generals in Hebei also said: "Tian Biejia looks elegant on the outside, but he is very courageous on the inside. I'm afraid he is not as good as Guan Laohu of Henan." Yuan Shaohun unexpectedly let Tian Feng get such limelight, although it boosted his morale.
, also amazed Hu Ren, but he was secretly wary, thinking that he could not easily control such a person.
But he remained calm on the surface. He took out a piece of jade from his waist. It was so delicate and green that it looked like the best. He put it on Tian Feng's hand and said with a smile: "This is my uncle Ciyang Gong (
Yuan Wei), when he got married, Fufeng Ji Changgong took this as a congratulatory gift. I send it to you today, and I hope you will encourage me."

At the same time, a team of horses dressed like Han merchants set off from Jinyang and headed north, following the route that General Wei Qing took out of the fortress, passing through Mayi and detouring to Dingxiang, straight into the vast Yunzhong Hetao grassland. Here has been
It was the boundary of the Xianbei people, but they still headed north, all the way to the foot of the magnificent Yin Mountain. The Xianbei Royal Court Danhan Mountain was already dozens of miles southeast of them, and in front of them were the green mountains rolling with greenery and rocks, covered with snow.
The melting stream was flowing in it, and the group of people followed the trend of the southeast of Yinshan Mountain and headed east.
Even in the most prosperous season of all things, this road seemed desolate and desolate, without any human habitation. They could only occasionally hear wolves howling at the moon in the distance. They fetched water to cook and ate the cured meat and dry food brought in the package.
They also abandoned the holes on the side of the road and dug up voles and snakes to eat. The horses lost their dress, so they walked along with support and sticks, and in the end they didn't show any fear. They walked like this for a month, and finally
They crossed the entire Xianbei territory and arrived at the foot of Baitan Mountain. They took turns going up the mountain every day, lighting bonfires on the top of the mountain, and staring at the mountains and forests to the south. After nearly ten days, they finally waited for the mountain from the rugged mountain road in the south.
The knights of the Han family came to greet them.
Putting on neat new clothes, surrounded by knights, they rode horses and took a detour from Pinggu, passing Yuan Shao's army, and soon arrived in Bohai County. Standing on their horses, they looked at the endless fields and farmers in Hebei.
People, as well as the calm Bohai Sea to the east, which is pregnant with thousands of waves. At this time, they showed smiles that they had suppressed for a long time. They were not far from their destination.
Looking back, they continued riding south for twenty miles and arrived at Zhangwu. However, they did not enter the city, but stayed in a small village in the northeast outside the city. The group rested in the village and drank hot water.
I ran around, drank the warm wine, and felt comfortable for a while. Then I heard a messenger saying that the leader of the knights had arrived.
The leader specially put on a green silk Jinxian crown and a very formal envoy's deep robe, and followed the guide step by step to a small room. Seeing that the leader was so young, the leader couldn't help but be surprised, and then
He laughed again. He might have thought it was funny, but he still said to the leader very respectfully: "Shi Fazheng, the right commander of Cao Cao of the General's Mansion, is paying homage to your lord, Lord Jun, on the orders of Shangshu Ling Chen."
After the salute, Fazheng leaned over and smiled and said: "Chen Jun has been thinking about you, so I specially wanted to say hello to you."
The leader laughed loudly and said: "The Prime Minister alone takes care of everything, so it's rare for him to forget about a remote person like me!"
Fazheng said with a smile: "Mr. Chen not only remembers the king, but also gives me a small gift." After saying that, he took out a letter written on silk from his body and handed it to the leader. The leader quickly handed the secret letter to the leader.
He started reading, and when he finished, he put it on the stove and burned it. He looked at the black ashes, his face changing, and he was silent for a long time. Then he said to Fazheng: "Duan Zhongming didn't say this when he talked to me.
”
Fa Zheng smiled and said: "If that's all you can do, then why did Mr. Chen send me here?" He paused and said to the leader: "As long as the prince is determined, Mr. Chen can give the general to thousands of households."
Reward!"
The leader thought for a while, but did not answer immediately. He scratched his temples with his hand and sighed: "But recently I used the divination method to predict divination and got the "Jie Gua". It is said in "Yi" that the "Jie Gua" is beneficial to the southwest. The gentleman said,
Is it disadvantageous for me to go north without any end this time? It’s better to lead the troops along the southwest and go straight to Luoyang!”
Fazheng didn't expect him to ask this, but after thinking about it for a while, he already got something, so he said: "The "Jie" means thunder under the water, thunderstorms and all kinds of grass, fruits and trees. This indicates that a gentleman will take advantage of the situation and attack.
It makes the Guanhe River change its color, and the heaven and earth are reunited. As for benefiting the southwest, the king’s residence happens to be in the southwest of Wu Zhong, and it is a good fortune to conquer the southwest of the country!"
After hearing this, the leader smiled slightly and said: "Sir, you might as well stay in my tent. In a few days, I will lead the army north and I will naturally give an explanation to the court."
Fazheng was not in a hurry and said calmly: "When Xiaguan came out from Jinyang, he put life and death aside. Since Junhou has given an account to Chen Jun, then Fazheng's life will be entrusted to Junhou."<
