As the night faded, the east was flushed with blue, and the remaining sparkling bonfires were filled with smoke.

There was a commotion in the camp with the sound of people and horses, Gongsun Zhi wiped the handle of the knife in his hand, only then did he open his eyes and wake up, walked out of the tent, the war horses neighed outside, the soldiers began to gather the team with weapons, and the figures came and went from his sight one by one, Li Ke came over with a mace and yawned: "Chief, the hour is almost up." ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded and glanced at the leaden blue sky.

"Let the foot soldiers go first, after the cavalry slows down a little, set off now, rest for one night, Cao's army is almost recovered, it's better to be careful about everything."

Li Ke turned his head to look at Cao Jun's station, showed a silly smile, and whispered: "Wen Hou and Changshi have been guarding against Cao Cao for a long time, and the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry and a foot soldier have been stationed outside since night. ”

"As far as you're smart, do you think Cao Cao won't know?"

Soon after, the army regrouped, the horse's hooves stepped out of the land in front of the gate, and the Youyan infantry formed an array in the direction of facing the east, and the four cavalry of the state iron horse, the white wolf horse, the black mountain horse and the guard wolf horse all got off their horses together, and stood quietly in place, Gongsun Zhi rode over to the front, and appeared above the field of vision over the wooden frame of everyone.

In the wooden frames built up layer by layer, there are layers of figures wearing armor and weapons at their sides, lying quietly inside, their faces closed. There was a solemn silence in the array, and someone in front of him lit a torch and walked towards the opposite side.

In the Cao camp, Cao Cao rubbed his slightly aching forehead and walked out of the tent, and was about to ask about some affairs, when someone came over from the front quickly: "Big brother, Gongsun Zhi's people are out of the camp, it seems that they are leaving, but they are a little strange outside." ”

In Xiahou Yuan's sight, Cao Cao frowned and turned over on his horse, raised his whip and shouted softly: "Drive!" Rushing out towards the Yuanmen, he and the surrounding soldiers hurriedly rushed out of the camp, and then more generals saw this scene, and did not know what was happening, they also rode after him, and went out of the Yuanmen not far away.

"Gongsun Zhi, what are the other people doing......

Cao Chun pursed his lips, as if he had fallen into the memories of the past, and after a while, he whispered: "..... sacrifice to the heroic souls who died under his command." ”

In the leaden blue sky, the east spit out golden light, and a beam of fire was burning in the hands of people.

On the field, in front of the high wooden frame, Gongsun stopped his horse and took the torch, walked towards the wooden frame step by step, looked at the corpses lying on the top of the layer, was silent for a moment, threw the flickering torch in his hand into the air, crossed a long trajectory, and landed on the wooden frame, the flames burst into flames, and then spread, in this golden morning, a huge pillar of fire was ignited.

"For you, my brother......" Li Ke's voice shouted in the ranks, "...... See off!! ”

Boom!

Bang bang bang bang...... The weapons smashed to the ground with a neat sound, and those who were still alive this morning looked at the burning fire to send their companions on their last journey, whether they knew each other or not. After a long time, after the fire gradually went out, the soldiers began to come forward to collect the ashes and bring them back to Upper Valley County for burial.

"Take them home"

Gongsun stopped on the back of the horse and shouted, rode the horse to turn around, and turned around, as far as his eyes could see, Cao Cao stayed in front of him on a war horse, his beard stroking in the breeze, and he stretched out his hand to arch towards the figure opposite.

"Gongsun, Cao Cao will not be soft in the future, you will also go all out and let the horse come"

The war horse neighed, Gongsun stopped looking at him, and slowly arched his hand, after this farewell, I am afraid that it will be an enemy when I see him in the future, a smile appeared on his face.

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha...... Good!! ”

Gongsun stopped pulling the reins fiercely, turned the horse's head and shouted at the surrounding soldiers and generals: "Let's go home, and go south next year."

The horses headed north.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, in mid-July, Gongsun Zhi and Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops in Guandu with less than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the latter was even beheaded by Gongsun Zhi in the rout, and the news that shocked the world spread one after another.

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

On the fifth day of the first month of August, a group of 30,000 soldiers and horses south of the Yangtze River was practicing in the school field, and the 2,500 cavalry galloped outside the school field.

"Cao Cao is busy fighting with Yuan Shao now, even if there is Gongsun Zhi on the side, it is not easy to remain undefeated, and it will take at least next year or even longer to distinguish the victory and defeat, Ziyi, you said that if I sneak attack Xu Du, Cao Cao will not be able to take care of the head and tail, will he lose faster?"

Holding the wooden fence with one hand and pressing the hilt of the sword with the other, Sun Ce's tone was quite relaxed, since the assassination that day, his whole person was like a new life, and he felt more confident in what he would do in the future. What's more, he is twenty-five years old this year, and with the soldiers and horses borrowed from one or two thousand at the beginning to lay such a big foundation, he has a kind of hope to meet the leaders of the world.

Next to him, the general known as Ziyi is more than seven feet long, with a majestic posture and a calm momentum. His name is Tai Shici, the word Ziyi, a native of Donglai, who was originally Liu Yao's general, and later descended to Sun Ce. At this time, he frowned: "Taking Xudu may be a moment of joy, but then we will face Yuan Shao, knowing that we are taking food from the tiger's mouth, we must be annoyed and angry, and lead a large army to press the border, at that time, far away from Jiangdong, this battle is very difficult to fight." ”

Sun Ce looked at the school and smiled, and waved his hand indifferently: "If you can't fight, you have to fight again, Cao Cao's men and horses dare to face his front, if I take over Xu Du, I still cower and dare not step forward, wouldn't it have ruined my father's prestige, as long as the emperor is in hand, there are not enough soldiers and horses to recruit again." ”

The two then stepped down from the high platform and discussed the reason for sending troops on the school grounds, and before the details were decided, someone came over from afar to hand over a message from Baqiu.

"Gong Jin is from the letter at this time...... "After receiving the information, Sun Ce frowned a little suspiciously, unfolded Su Bao, swept his eyes down line by line, his brows became more and more wrinkled, and Tai Shi Ci next to him noticed that the atmosphere was a little weird, and whispered: "Lord ....."

Over there, his brows furrowed, Sun Ce shook his head, laughed, and handed Su Silk to Tai Shici, "Yuan Shao was defeated..... he was defeated badly, and he even lost his own life....."

"Could it be that the message is wrong?" Tai Shi Ci read the above content, and was a little horrified in his heart, an army of more than 200,000 people, not a group of straw men, almost collapsed overnight, which made people feel unbelievable.

"Gong Jin has always been cautious, this information should have been corroborated."

The still smiling figure walked back, but the smile on his face looked much stiffer, and after a while, he said, "The matter of the sneak attack on Xu Du...... Let's put that aside for now. ”

It is really hard to believe such information mixed with huge information, but for Jiangdong, it is actually the latest to be received, and the closest place to the north has confirmed the authenticity of the news.

In the imperial city, Liu Xie, who already had the momentum of dominating the world, walked between the gardens with his hands, and when he heard the information from the confidants behind him, his footsteps stopped, and he spat on the ground like a rough man, "After the fourth and third dukes...... Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the four states ........... Phew! ”

He was not the real emperor in the first place, and his past identity has been erased in the depths of his memory, and his ambition is also growing, and he has also thought that one day he can really rule the world, but he has to rely on Cao Cao, but one ........day, he still wants to discuss with the queen. The thought disconnected, and he thought about it.

And in Baizifang, the woman holding the little girl, dragging her long skirt and looking at the north sky, her soft and gentle face had no expression for a while, she didn't know whether to laugh or scold the man.

……

While the news of the war in the north continued to ferment, Yuan Shao died suddenly, without any entrustment, Yuan Tan wanted to return to the army Yecheng was rejected by the guards, and looked at the city indignantly: "I am the eldest son, after my father goes, Jizhou should be mine, you remember, sooner or later I will get it back!" Then, he led the remnants of the soldiers and horses towards Qingzhou.

On the battlefield of Guandu, the corpses were buried, and the defeated soldiers also returned to the city to wait for a new round of reorganization, Wen Chou led an army aimlessly through Liyang, looked at the city, and looked back at the soldiers and horses behind him, with a look of hope on his face, making him feel that he had nowhere to go.

"It's better to go to the north, anyway, it's already spread like this outside." The adjutant general proposed.

Wen Chou looked at the sky, his spirit was slightly sluggish, he let out a long breath, and nodded with difficulty, "That's all it takes." ”

The hand is raised, pointing further north.

…….

In Youzhou, the sky was overcast and drizzling, the road was muddy and slippery, an old man with a spear, walking through the country road in embarrassment, the rumors heard by the wine shop before, and his face was quite glad of his decision.

"Luckily, I walked fast...... knew that Yuan Shao was a useless person. ”

When passing by a house, a young man of eleven or twelve years old outside seemed to be in a hurry to go home for dinner, and his footsteps quickly ran past the old man, and after a while, he turned back abruptly, his immature face was stained with rain, and he looked at the big gun in the old man's hand.

"Do you know martial arts?"

The old man laughed out loud by him and nodded: "The old man is the king of guns in Hebei, how can he not know martial arts, does Xiao Langjun want to learn martial arts?" ”

"Think, then can you teach me?"

"What's your name?"

"Guo Huai!" The young man puffed up his chest and said.
