Chapter 1 Horse into the Thistle

One major event after another impacted the senses of the people of Youzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first emperor died, and the world didn't have time to Susu, at least Youzhou. Because the Jizhou Black Mountain Rebellion blocked the road, it has been a long time since the news of the death of the first emperor reached Youzhou. What's even interesting is that before the death of the first emperor, Liu Yu, who worshiped Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as one of the three princes, was the captain, but the news only reached Youzhou after the death of the first emperor.

The chief officer who delivered the news was killed on the way, and it was only a small official who finally brought the news to Youzhou...... Even the honor guard of the three princes given by the imperial court was robbed, and only an edict was brought over, and this assistant official said that he would not return to Luoyang, so he settled down in Jixian County.

Who has the guts to go back? Several generals of the Black Mountain thieves fought chaotically, and if they couldn't defeat the Youzhou border army, they would pinch their own people and their own people, and if his strong young man was discovered by those thieves again, he would not be able to run away and be dragged to be a strong man.

Then, it was the rebel general Yanbei who was entrenched in Liaodong and the Zhonglang general Meng Yi sent by the imperial court to quell the rebellion to fight in Liaoshui, and the imperial court soldiers and horses were defeated, and even Zhonglang defeated Meng Yi and was captured, and later it was rescued thanks to the subordinates of General Gongsun...... At that time, people thought that the old generals sent by the imperial court were not good, and they still needed Youzhou's own generals to quell the rebels in Youzhou.

No, there was a court envoy who passed through Jizhou, where there was a shortage of soldiers, and brought the news that the imperial court had promoted Gongsun Dudu to be the general of Fenwu. Now it's really General Youzhou.

In the whole Youzhou, there is only one fierce general who worships the general's position.

Of course, there is still such a rebel general in Liaodong as Yanbei.

But who would be optimistic about him? General Gongsun has already recruited troops in Yangle City, Liaoxi, who can defeat the White Horse General in Youzhou? It's a joke, it's impossible.

But then, rumors spread in the liquor stores in the cities west of Liaoxi.

None.

"Eh, have you heard?" In the wine shop, two young men sat down on the case, and a man with a sharp face who looked like a ranger asked in a low voice: "I heard from a certain family that General Yan from Jizhou defeated General Baima from Youzhou." ”

"No way, stop laughing." The young man on the opposite side waved his hand, pouted and said with a smile in Youzhou dialect: "You people from Jizhou take Yanbei too seriously, and return General Yan...... In this land, how can General Bergui be defeated, you just wait, it won't be long before there will be good news into the city. ”

After that, the Youzhou man didn't forget to add a mouthful, "General Bogui, who can't be stopped by 100,000 Wuhuan, how can Yanbei be an opponent." ”

"Oh, don't believe me. General Gongsun recruited troops a while ago, and a cousin from a certain family went to defect, followed Captain Shan to Yangle, and wrote back to say that the battle was over. The sharp-cheeked young man took the wine bowl and drank most of it, then wiped his mouth and leaned forward, then looked left and right and whispered: "Captain Tian under the command of General White Horse died in the battle, and there is only a little left of the White Horse Army...... What a loss! ”

"It's really fake!"

This time, even the pawn dealer on the side of him leaned over and asked in a low voice: "A few days ago, I seem to have heard that our Wei from Youzhou was ordered by Liu Gong to recruit Yanbei...... It can't be true, right? We fled all the way from Xuzhou to this side, and General Baima can't stop the traitor, so won't he fight in Jixian County again? ”

This sentence speaks to everyone's hearts.

In just half a year, more than 200,000 people have fled from Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Jizhou to Youzhou, and there are still people who have been affected by the war in the state...... They are all fed up with the displacement, and if Youzhou falls into rebellion again, they really don't know where else to flee.

On the way to escape, there were nine deaths, there were soldiers and bandits, there was no food, and the epidemic was rampant on the battlefield, and the people who could really run to Youzhou were only three or four out of ten, and they were afraid.

"It's not impossible!" The young man from Jizhou waved his hand and said: "When General Yan rebelled in Jizhou, he did not make a rebellion, and he ruled the prefectures and counties as now, and he was also very disciplined in restraining the soldiers...... To be honest, it's a little stronger than the military discipline of the Han army. ”

Just when the hearts of the people were worried, there was a sudden commotion outside the liquor store, there were sturdy men avoiding the liquor store, and there were young and troublesome children running through the streets and alleys shouting, and in the mouths of those children, a frightening fact was sung.

"General Yan has entered the city!"

That's the fear of people being uprooted from their homes!

……

Yanbei came, the fiery red seven-foot Xianbei horse wore a jingling delicate luan bell on its chest in the gate hole of Jixian County, and the strong horse's hooves heavily buckled the loess and compacted the land outside the city, and smashed on the bluestone road in Jixian County with a muffled sound.

Walking through the urn city, Yan Bei squinted his eyes and raised his chin, and looked at the brilliant sunlight in the summer with a pair of sword eyebrows frowning tallly. Slowly raised his left fist and struck it on the fierce and sturdy beast head ring heart guard on his chest...... He suddenly regretted sending Jiang Jin, Wang Yi, and Yan Dong to a foreign land.

This moment was a glorious moment for him.

He has walked through the city gate cave of Jixian County countless times...... When his brother was still alive, he once wore a simple calf-nosed trouser bare-chested and led the horses that had been stolen from outside the plug into the city to sell, and then the horse was robbed by the rich man, and no one gave him a lot of money and beat him out of the East Market with a stick.

When he took off the yellow scarf, he took the brothers who fled back from the Jizhou battlefield to take advantage of the dark night outside Jixian County to touch into Huanxiang, a man who did not kill all the people in the courtyard of the rich family, even the dogs were dried by him and carried on his shoulders, they collected all the treasures, and the next day they changed into clean clothes and swaggered here, he walked through this city gate hole.

Later, he bought acres of land to build Zhuangzi, led the high-headed horses seized from outside the Saiwai, and carried the salt and iron tools of the Yuyang smugglers, and he walked here again and again, laughing at the gatekeepers, and talking with the salt and iron officials...... Again, again, again, he walked through this gate hole.

And now, Gao Lanyi beat the horse in front, each carrying a dragon flying phoenix dancing with the wind of the swallow flag, fifty shoulders with a big waist round lining leather armor cover with a large armor under the ribs with a ring knife in the palm of the spear, riding a high-headed horse with a water plug outside the fresh and low, hanging black and red lacquered iron curtain skin as a chest, all of them are as powerful as gods.

At this time, Jiang Jin and they should also be there.

Taking a deep breath, a smile appeared on his unruly and ambitious face, Yan Bei didn't say anything, just held the waist knife in one hand and the reins in the other, his body swayed slightly with the ups and downs of the horse, accompanied by the crisp sound of clothes and armor colliding, and slowly paced the horse and walked into the city of Jixian with Youzhou Wei You.

Jixian, I'm back.

Jixian, I'm back from Yanbei!

The people on both sides of the street looked at this young rebel general with his martial arts all over his body and his army waving the banner of swallow characters from a distance through the crack in the door. A child ran out of the street and was quickly picked up by a quick-eyed adult behind him, and ran home with his head bowed, and although the door was closed, anyone could see the curious eyes in the crack of the door.

In these days of worry and fear, rumors were like wings, and people said that the court Zhonglang defeated Meng Yi's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Liaoshui, and the corpses were full of wilderness; It is said that the young general who defeated Meng Yi crossed thousands of miles of Xianbei land from Youzhou to Liaodong through Xuansu County to protect his former general, Zhang Chun, the general who led the Wuhuan people to make Youzhou a miasma.

Some people say that there are tens of thousands of Jizhou rebels under his command who serve him, and those people are superb in combat and kill people like hemp. Some people also say that this rebel general surnamed Yan used his soldiers like a god, and he fought for thousands of miles without a defeat, and his majesty was unmatched.

People put their last hope on the famous general of Youzhou, Gongsun Bogui, and it was said that General Bogui was recruiting troops on a large scale and preparing to enter Liaodong to fight the rebels to the death. But later, people said that General Bogui was raided by Yanbei in Yangle City, and not only was he defeated and captured, but his subordinate Baima Yicong was also killed.

Then, more rumors spread through most of Youzhou. People say that Yanbei heard about the wisdom of the envoy Liu Gong and wanted to return to Youzhou, but the messenger did not reach Youzhou for some reason. There is a rumor in the countryside that General Gongsun robbed and killed the messenger on the way for his military exploits.

Some people believe in these things, and some people don't.

Later, Liu Gong sent the most powerful Wei You to Liaoxi to appease this rebel general who could fight well. As soon as the news came out, the people were in an uproar.

How could the imperial court recruit such a rebel leader? He followed Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun's rebellion, and defeated Meng Yi and Gongsun Zhan one after another! But those people who fled from Jizhou, the head of Qian, always spoke for him inside and out, as if such a general who opposed the imperial court was not wrong in itself!

More secrets were dug up, some people said that this Yanbei had lived outside Fanyang City in Zhuo County for several years, and his money came from the wrong way, and he had done a business of smuggling horses outside the Saiwai; Or maybe Yuyang's salt and iron were also intervened by him, and when his subordinates were the largest, he controlled hundreds of armed followers. Some people in Zhuojun said that they had seen his cronies always have yellow scarves hidden in their arms, and that they may have been involved in that fearful rebellion earlier.

It was the Yellow Turban Rebellion that rose up in all eight states in the world and almost collapsed the imperial court!

How could Liu Gong use such a person?

Even the scholars in Youzhou can't sit still, and these days they can't stop galloping into the city and going straight to the state capital, and the official office is noisy every day...... People think, such a rebel leader, his soldiers and horses are stationed in Yongnu City, there are only 500 cavalry cronies outside Jixian City, and there are only more than 50 people entering the city, isn't it good to take this opportunity to kill him?

Different voices came and went inside and outside Jixian County, but most of them were saying bad things about him.

In the cracks of the closed doors in the city, people looked at him with curious and fearful eyes, only one person, only the little lady who had walked a long way from Jizhou to arrive here and hugged her sister, holding the window and looking at the soldiers and horses entering the city from afar, there was no curiosity or fear in her eyes, she looked at the rebel general with his chin raised on his horse with a normal look, and felt endless peace of mind in his heart.

"Your horse has become taller, that's not our Han family, right? Where did you get your armor from to become brighter? Your armies are more formidable, but their armor is mottled. I'm waiting for you, when the flowers of the mulberry tree are gone, and the seeds in the field will not grow taller, and when the mansion burns to ashes, and the brother who taught you to read and write will be gone...... I have a lot to say to you. ”

But Yanbei, you still missed the appointment.

But Yanbei, you're finally here!
