Chapter 244: The Cold Wind Rags and Freezes Bones
The sky was covered with goose feathers and snow, and the ground was white.
Zhao Hui and Xu Shu had just set off when it snowed heavily.
Heavy snow blocked the road, and Yuan Shao pursued the three-way army that blocked Gongsun Zhan, but they were all forced to stop.
Gongsun Zhan picked dangerous roads all the way, constantly avoiding Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses.
Although it was snowing heavily, the Yellow River was not frozen, and Gongsun Zhan took the opportunity to cross the Yellow River with soldiers and horses, and then crossed Jishui and entered the territory of Qingzhou Qi.
Yuan Shao's blockade of Gongsun Chan was a complete failure.
Although Gongsun Chan was forced, he fled all the way to Qingzhou like a lost dog.
But it doesn't show that his strength is weak, but that Yuan Shao and Zhao Hui are too strong.
Gongsun Zhan, who entered Qingzhou, was like a tiger breaking in.
Kong Rong, the representative of Qingzhou, can't even stop the Yellow Turban Army, let alone Gongsun Zhan.
As soon as Liu Bei said Qingzhou, Gongsun Zhan didn't hesitate.
Now looking at all the states in the world, there are only the White Bo Army in the merged states, and the Yellow Turban Army in Qingzhou are still very jumpy.
Although there are also Yellow Turban troops in other states, they are just like ordinary bandits, one by one, they occupy the mountains as kings, and they can't compete with the local princes at all.
Gongsun Chan did not choose to merge with the state.
Retreating from Youzhou to Bingzhou, he needs to cross the Taihang Mountains.
Moreover, the state is barren, and Qingzhou is richer.
Although he was like a lost dog, Gongsun Chan was still reluctant to go to the barren state.
South, Jingzhou!
Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao after all.
Although he got to know Zhao Hui a few years late, his fate has not changed.
Although Zhao Huiren is no longer in Jicheng, he can still receive all kinds of information.
The route of Zhao Hui and Xu Shu is uncertain.
But along the way, Zhao Hui will leave all kinds of marks, and which cities have their own intelligence officers, Zhao Hui is also very clear.
After Sun Jian died unexpectedly, Yuan Shu was no longer targeting Jingzhou, he opened a large number of troops to enter Yangzhou. The power is expanding dramatically.
Although Yuan Shu is now only a Nanyang Taishou, he also serves as a general.
Yuan Shu is also a big man now, and his power has not yet reached his peak.
Regarding the news from the south, Zhao Hui only paid a little attention to it.
At the beginning of Luoyang, Zhao Hui did not go to rob Sun Jian of the national jade seal. Instead, he chose to put out the fire.
Yuan Shao and Sun Jian take the jade seal of the country very seriously.
But in Zhao Hui's eyes, the heirloom jade seal is just a symbol.
Even if you don't get it now, you can re-engrave one when you need it later.
Zhao Hui and Xu Shu went all the way south.
Seeing the lives of the people, life is becoming more and more difficult.
Zhao Hui has had very good luck in the past two years.
There were no droughts or floods in Youzhou.
However, in Jizhou, Yuzhou and other places, there have been droughts.
Many people have been plowing for a year, but they have no harvest.
There are many people who starve to death, but they are all ordinary people at the bottom.
In the big family, the grain and grass piled up are like mountains, and they don't have to worry about eating and drinking at all.
All the way south, the snow was gone, but the weather was very cold.
Zhao Hui's body is very good, riding on a war horse, his body is steaming.
But the groups of homeless people on the roadside are all thinly dressed.
It's uncertain whether they'll survive this winter.
This year's winter is the coldest winter since Zhao Hui came here.
In the big family, everyone wears a robe, burns a fire, and closes the door.
The cold wind was raging outside, but the house was warm like spring.
On the way south of Zhao Hui and Xu Shu, they saw countless corpses that starved to death and froze to death.
There are men and women, old and young.
There were many displaced people, but they were all like Zhao Hui, heading south.
It was too cold for anyone to make their way to the colder north.
Zhao Hui and Xu Shu, this journey went smoothly, very smoothly.
Because there was no danger.
But it didn't go well, and it didn't go well.
Almost every day, you can encounter roadblocks and robbers, or beggars.
Whether it's a roadblock robbery, or a begging person.
They all have one thing in common – they are in rags.
And the difference between them is that the robbers still have a little strength at the moment.
The beggars, almost always on their knees, have been hungry for many days and may starve to death at any moment.
Many even ate the bark and weeds in their hands in front of Zhao Hui.
In the cold wind, Zhao Hui could see their black skin.
Killing bandits, Zhao Hui has never been soft before.
The bandits in Youzhou don't know how many have been destroyed by Zhao Hui.
But in the face of such a group of people, it is difficult for Zhao Hui to attack them.
Robbery was not their intention.
They just want to live.
They didn't even have a weapon, they just took a stick.
In the face of such robbers, Zhao Hui could easily kill them all.
But Zhao Hui really couldn't do it.
Every time, Zhao Hui and Xu Shu could only rush over with their horses.
Zhao Hui didn't kill them, but he couldn't help them now.
This is not Youzhou.
The two will also encounter those real bandits.
For these bandits with swords and full of strength, Zhao Hui and Xu Shu will kill them.
Kill as many as you can.
Yingchuan Toshi tribe.
Zhao Hui had been here before, but unfortunately there were not many people from the Shi clan who were willing to follow Zhao Hui at that time.
This time, Zhao Hui's target was Guo Jia.
Guo Jia is not a scholar.
It's just a well-off family.
It can allow Guo Jia to study without distractions and meet Guo Jia's daily needs.
can become friends with Cheng Yu, Xun Yu and others, completely relying on Guo Jia's talent.
It has not yet reached the era when there is no cold door in the upper grade and no scholar in the lower grade.
Although the scholar clan has been formed, there are still many people in the scholar clan who are willing to make friends with talented people from the Shu clan.
After a few decades, even if he was an official in the same dynasty, it was difficult to enter the door when he went to meet the Shangpin scholars.
"Yuanzhi, you haven't been home for a few years?"
After more than a month, Zhao Hui and Xu Shu finally came to Yingchuan.
Along the way, Xu Shu was very excited, but when he arrived in Yingchuan at this moment, he calmed down.
"It's been five years." Xu Shu said.
If he had gone to Jingzhou, I am afraid that he would not be able to come back now. In this life, I may not even be able to see the last side of my mother.
"Five years, let's go back and have a look."
Zhao Hui sighed, unconsciously, it has been six years since he came to this world.
Zhang Jiao saved him, it seems that it was still yesterday.
Xu Shu shook his head and said, "No, the lord's affairs are important, let's go to Yangzhai first." ”
Although I don't know what Guo Jia is capable of, since Zhao Hui wants to come over in person.
Xu Shu understood in his heart the importance of Guo Jia to Zhao Hui.
I have arrived in Yingchuan, but it is only a few days late.
I haven't seen him for five years, and he's not bad for a few days.
Zhao Hui was not persuading Xu Shu.
Along the way, Zhao Hui has always been worried that Guo Jia will go to Cao Cao.
If Guo Jia and Cao Cao were allowed to meet, Zhao Hui was completely unsure and was fooling Guo Jia into his camp.
