The south bank of the Yellow River.

The sound of the waves crashing on the reef came, piles of bonfires burned in the night breeze, scattered tents swayed in the wind, war horses tied not far away, huddled together and shook their tails to rest, the camp stretched to the riverbank, the breeze blew through the two figures standing there, and the words continued to sound.

“…… After Yuan Shao IV and the Third Duke, in terms of fame, the lord and Cao Cao are inferior, on the territory he sits on the four states, on the number of troops as many as hundreds of thousands, if it is not for the state with Xu Rong containment, Qingzhou has Cao Ying in the ban to resist, I am afraid that the real face is not the current number of 200,000. ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded silently.

"Facing it, it can't be shaken at all, the news from the front line, Yuan Shao is a little anxious for quick success, with Yan Liang's experience in the past, he still does not introspect, Confucianism's plan is to fall on him, want to break his 200,000 soldiers and horses, morale and military heart is the first hurdle, such a huge number of people, grain is a vital part, the second is the trust between the generals and the subordinates, Confucianism is to hide and reveal the form, let people see through it at a glance, but in fact, the bitterness is still behind......."

Li Ru's face was gloomy, but with a smile, now that he is old, he can talk and laugh with the current lord so openly, it has been a tacit understanding cultivated for many years, and it is very different from the trembling and conscientious when he was under the command of Dong Gong.

"The outside is divisive, but in fact, the inside is for the heart?" Gongsun Zhi was silent for a moment, and frowned slightly: "Yuan Shao's subordinates, Guo Tu and others are also wise people, they may not be able to hide from them, if they are ignored, Wen You's strategy is afraid that it will be useless." ”

Li Ru twisted the tip of his beard, raised his head and looked at the night sky, when a night bird chirped from the grass on the riverbank, he shook his head with a smile: "Fu Zhu is a righteous gentleman, there are not too many curves in his heart, and he is talented in teaching and educating people." Guo Tu and Feng Ji are villains, they have nothing to do with them, they don't care about everything, and they can't be more than a small official. As for that Xu Yu is the real stone of tiptoeing, this person is an old friend of Yuan Benchu and a talented person, if he is in the army, how can he not say a few words? ”

"It seems that Wen You's strategy is to be fulfilled on Xu Ziyuan."

There was a sound from the rippling river, Gongsun Zhi whispered, walking side by side with Li Ru on the riverbank, the river breeze blew, rolled up the cloak and robe, and Gongsun Zhi's expression changed to solemn majesty, "This person is also greedy for fame and fortune, and he is a person who has witnessed wars from north to south, so in Yuan Shaoshuai's tent, only he has the most right to speak, but how did Wen You let him promote this?" ”

"Do you remember the money you gave him for three carriages?" Li Ru smiled and looked at the tall figure next to him, "....... That's the introduction, no matter if Xu Yu has an accident or not, the guilt of secretly communicating with the lord can't be escaped...... The consequences, I believe the lord is already roughly clear. ”

When he finished talking to him, Gongsun Zhi also smiled: "This is the advantage of having a strategist by your side......" Then, he arched his hand towards Li Ru, "In the past, I took a group of brothers to kill from the north to the south, and then back to the north, I always fought with my life, even if I wanted to move my head, I still chose to speak with the knife in my hand." ”

His smile gradually retracted, he bowed solemnly, and his voice was low: "Yuan Shao's text said that I grew up in the Hun stable, it is not wrong, such an identity, where can anyone look at it, you see that Huaxiong, he was kidnapped by me, Yan Rou was rescued from slavery by me, Zhao Yunyi is the general of Youzhou who succeeded my father, Pan Feng, which of these people is admired and surrendered to my Gongsun Zhi?" What's more, there are resourceful people to vote? Wen You can give me advice wholeheartedly, and I deserve to be worshipped! ”

"The lord has seen the outside." Li Ru hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Gongsun Zhi, who was bowing down, and his eyes were a little distracted: "Confucianism was also a desperate person at the beginning, there were Guo Yan and Li Dao in the west to control the Xiliang army, and there were a group of heroes in the east, even in the middle, Wang Yun in Chang'an City would put me to death and do something to kill the emperor, the only one in the world who could tolerate me was the lord, how could Confucianism not give up to repay this kindness!" ”

Then, he withdrew his hand, stared at Gongsun Zhi's eyes, shook his long beard slightly, took a deep breath and said: "The lord should not be arrogant, even if none of the generals under his command are admiring to vote, but they are all willing to go down the road with the lord, Yan Rou was saved from slavery, he is grateful, Hua Xiong can work hard for a long time, how can he have two hearts, then Pan Feng is a lucky general, what kind of feat has he made under Han Fu?" At the beginning, he was only a small school under Yuan Shao, if it wasn't for the master, how could he have such achievements today? Zhao Yun and other Youzhou generals, although they were obtained after the White Horse generals, but these people are all loyal and brave, and they have not been seen in the battle of Yixian to join the enemy......"

The wind on the riverbank grew louder and louder, and the beeping waves of the water sounded softly.

The scribe standing in black waved the sleeves of his robe left and right, arched his hand, looked solemnly towards the tall figure in front of him, and bowed respectfully, "The lord has set up his life for many soldiers, and he should be worshiped by Confucianism!" ”

"Hahaha......"

The light of the bonfire shone through, and the slight beard shook in the wind, and Gongsun stopped laughing on the bank of the river.

So says the scriptures...... Yuan Shao is really inferior to me, at least my brothers who were killed from the sea of corpses and blood have never been alone in the conquest. ”

Then, he looked in the direction of Guandu, the sky was full of stars like a long river, and his voice was very soft: "...... really want to see what kind of expression Yuan Shao of the frightened bird is." ”

"Ahh

Suddenly a strange sound came from the nearby reeds, Gongsun stopped subconsciously holding down the handle of the knife, several figures stood up from the grass, and a figure with a big shoulder and a round waist in front was pushed by the behind, and stumbled out, with a circle of reeds wrapped around his head.

“.…… Host...... Gong ......" Pan Feng rubbed his nose that was still a little itchy, and stood there quite embarrassed, behind him, Yan Rou, Zhao Zhao, Zou Dan, Xia Houlan and other generals in the army all walked out of the reeds with embarrassment, and glared at him fiercely: "Don't fight in the morning, don't fight in the evening, just when you are listening, come to a sneeze!" ”

Since the army approached Guandu, these people saw that Gongsun Zhi's expression was different, and they wanted to be relieved, but they saw that Li Ru was still around, so they wanted to wander around for a while before coming.......

Gongsun Zhi let go of his hand, he didn't know what kind of expression to make on his face, and waved his hand with a smile, "The big war is coming, you are not in shape one by one, after pulling out the camp tomorrow, you will have to face Yuan Shao's 200,000 troops, if you don't seize the time to rest at this time, you are just messing around." ”

"Is that okay ..... then?" Pan Feng hurriedly took off his straw hat and waved his hand at everyone: "Dispersed..... hurry back and rest." ”

Everyone was about to leave, Gongsun Zhi walked over and walked back side by side with them: "Since they are all here, I also notify you to come to the discussion, it just so happened that I discussed the next battle with Wen You, the front Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought a few battles, the loss must be very large, and it is unknown whether they can hold on, but at the moment, if Cao Cao retreats, it means that we will also lose, and we can't afford to lose......."

"Once Cao Cao is defeated, he Yuan Shao will turn around and take the north directly, can we stop it with this little soldier?" Gongsun paused, and looked at the generals: "Go over tomorrow first, pull out the scouts behind Yuan Shao first, and then send a team to Wuchao to explore the way." ”

The flames crackled and flicked over the fire.

In the dim firelight, the figure in the cloak walked majestically into the light, then stopped, and raised his hand violently: "Pull out the scouts behind Yuan Shao, try to launch an attack, and at the same time tell Cao Cao that my grandson has not broken his promise......"

The palms of his hands were clenched into fists in mid-air: "...... is here with soldiers!" ”

"Yes!"

A group of voices raised their heads, shaking the four fields. After the generals left, on the other side of the fire, Lu Bu's figure walked over, stood next to Gongsun Zhi and watched them go away: "........ You've got a bunch of good brothers. ”

"You have it too." Gongsun Zhi said a word, and after a moment, Lu Bu beside him laughed and nodded.
