A cavalry team shot rapidly from the world.

The army formed a battle storm-shaped formation, rushing towards it with a terrifying aura like a terrifying sea of ​​people.

The earth is shaking, trembling slightly. Colorful flags are fluttering in the wind. The war horses are galloping, and the huge roar is shocking. The war drums are roaring, and the thick sounds soar into the sky.

There was a panic in the camp, and under the command of various cow horns, various troops lined up and formed formations.

Li Hong, Xian Yufu and others rode out of the camp and looked into the distance.

"White Horse Gongsun Zan."

Xian Yufu suddenly shouted loudly, "It's the cavalry of Liaodong, the white horse Gongsun Zan is here."

Li Hong's nervous heart was immediately relieved.

It is common sense to use war drums to command the troops, the Han army should be their own army. But now when fighting with the Xianbei people, any situation may happen. Isn’t your troops just using the Niuke? The enemy may also imitate the Han army using war drums. The Fengliong of the Niutou tribe of the Xianbei people uses war drums to command the battle.

Hearing Xianyufu shouting, the group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Hong looked back at the camp. The cavalry of the Sanqu troops had not yet been assembled. He looked at the Liaodong cavalry coming towards him, and observed the distance between the two sides, knowing that once the enemy really attacked, his troops would be like Murong Ji's army being attacked, and there was no chance to fight back. He couldn't help but think of the Xianbei Black Hawk Iron Cavalry again. When could he train an invincible iron cavalry?

He turned his eyes to Zheng Xin. He wanted to ask him why the scouts did not detect this unit? Zheng Xin also looked back at him in confusion, very confused. He had no way to explain.

The cavalry team on the opposite side remained speeding and was still running wildly. In the middle row at the front, there was a prominent white horse queue. Their beautiful figures were reflected between the blue sky and green space, making them look particularly dazzling.

Li Hong and his subordinates have long heard of Gongsun Zan's name. Although they have never seen him, they have heard too many rumors about him. Everyone admired him very much. They are about to meet the famous figures all over the world, and everyone is full of curiosity and excitement.

Gongsun Zan, whose courtesy name was Bo Gui, was from Lingzhi, Liaoxi. He was born in a family of officials and his father was once a central official of the 2,000-stone. Although he had all his skills, because his mother was a humble mother, he could only serve as a scholar in the prefect's office in Liaoxi County, or a scribe after he became an adult. However, he was soon appreciated by the prefect Hou An and was recruited as a son-in-law by the prefect. Hou An was also a famous scholar. For the future of his son-in-law, he sent Gongsun Zan to the Qianshi County south of Luoyang, and became a teacher in the great scholar Mr. Lu Zhi, and studied and studied.

Gongsun Zan grew up in the north. He was a generous and tragic man. He was generous and martial and fond of righteousness. He didn't like reading and discussing scriptures at all. He had never read the books thoroughly, so he said goodbye to Lu Zhi and returned to his hometown Lingzhi County. Soon, under the recommendation of his father-in-law, he went to the new prefect of Liaoxi County, Liu Ji, and became a stakeholder (equivalent to the current director of the accounting office and director of the statistics office). He had no literati temperament at all. He did these things without the director's strength, but he did not act too badly.

Two years later, Liu Ji was implicated in the party and bribery disaster and was taken to Luoyang. Gongsun Zan knew that Liu Ji was framed. Out of righteous indignation, he disguised himself as a servant and followed him all the way to protect him. Liu Ji was sentenced to exile in the Kyoto Luoyang. The place was in a wilderness in the south, and it was rumored that the miasma was very strong. Seeing that Liu Ji was innocently convicted and was lonely and pitiful, Gongsun Zan decided to escort him to Rinan County in person. The two walked halfway, and Liu Ji encountered a chance to pardon. Gongsun Zan sent him home and returned to Lingzhi County, Liaoxi County alone.

Because of this incident, Gongsun Zan's name of chivalrousness spread throughout the northern counties of Youzhou and became famous. Soon Gongsun Zan was elected as filial and honest. (Falling and honest, one of the main subjects in the history of electing officials in the Han Dynasty. Among the scholars under their jurisdiction, the counties and states chose filial parents and those who are honest in their behavior were recommended to the court. Generally, one or two people were recommended a year. Those who obtain filial and honest qualifications went to the capital to pass the course exam and became a Lang. After a certain period of time, the Lang became an official, or went to the local area to be a county magistrate, or a history of other chiefs.) This is the right way for the officialdom of the Han Dynasty. From filial and honest, they were summoned by the emperor, retained as "Lang", and then from Lang to local government, and finally transferred from local officials to central government officials.

After being bullied by "Lang", Gongsun Zan was sent to be the chief of the Liaodong vassal state in Youzhou. The chief of the Liaodong vassal state (equivalent to the current secretary-general of the government department), was a civil servant, but here he was a military officer, equivalent to the commander of a county. The so-called Liaodong vassal state is several vassal states scattered around Liaodong County, namely the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes of all sizes. The duty of the Liaodong vassal state is to monitor these tribes and prevent them from rebelling. Perhaps because of their background, they received a different education than ordinary people.

The difference is quite big. Gongsun Zan is extremely hating the Hu people, as if he has a deep hatred with them. Every time, whenever he receives news of a tribe rebellion, he will be furious and indignant. He immediately leads his troops to quell the rebellion, often going deep into the border, rushing around and fighting day and night, as if these tribes have deep hatred with him. Gongsun Zan never leaves a living mouth and slaughteres the entire tribe. He is really a chicken and dog, and his bloody and cruelty makes the Hu people frightened and dare not touch their beards.

Gongsun Zan liked to ride white horses, and he ordered his guard soldiers to ride white horses. Therefore, Gongsun Zan had a famous nickname called Baima Changshi, and his guard was called Baima Yicong.

Gongsun Zan's troops were neatly decorated with flags, and the soldiers had distinct armor and sharp weapons. They looked like a well-trained and highly combat-capable force. They slowly stopped about a hundred steps away from Li Hong's camp.

Li Hong and several subordinates looked at each other and felt ashamed. Compared with Gongsun Zan's Liaodong soldiers, his Lulongsai's border army was like a temporary miscellaneous army. The war horses were stolen from the hands of the Xianbei people. Only a few officers were equipped with helmets and armor, and most of the soldiers were ordinary armor, including Li Hong himself, who even had broken armor. After two battles, the original cavalry had almost half of it lost, and now infantry are temporarily used as cavalry.

Xian Yufu said to Li Hong excitedly: "Men, let's go and welcome him."

Li Hong shouted: "Brothers, let's go to welcome the White Horse Chief of Liaodong." After that, he rushed out first by horse racing.

The white horse team of the opposite army immediately responded, and led by an officer full of bright silver armor, silver helmet and white cloak, rushed in like a whirlwind.

"Mr. Gongsun..." Xian Yufu flew off the horse, stood far away from the White Horse Iron Cavalry and raised his hand and shouted loudly.

Li Hong and his subordinates immediately followed Xian Yufu and jumped off the horse.

The speeding team had one hundred cavalry, one colored white horse and white armor. The soldiers were tall and mighty and extraordinary. With a roar, the speeding team suddenly stopped, showing that the troops were well-trained and the soldiers all had superb riding skills.

"It turned out to be Yuxing, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." The officer in armor sat upright on the war horse, looked at Xian Yufu and said with a smile. Then he flew out of the horse and strode over.

Li Hong and several subordinates looked over intently.

Gongsun Zan is in his thirties, about eight feet and five inches tall, strong and well-proportioned, handsome, and a pair of big eyes shining brightly. Perhaps because of his years of military service, he seemed very calm and calm, and his whole body exuded a strong sense of courage.

Xian Yufu and everyone hurriedly saluted. Gongsun Zan grabbed his hands and smiled heartily: "I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have lost a lot."

"The Xianbei people kept invading us, which made us very anxious. It was great that Brother Bo Gui was able to come in time." Xian Yufu said excitedly.

"After receiving the document from the governor, I immediately led three thousand iron cavalry to come day and night, which was the fastest speed."

"How come you suddenly appeared here?"

"We took a shortcut and got into the pass from Lulong to prepare to go directly to Yuyang. On the way, the scouts detected the troops stationed in the mountain pass. We thought they were Xianbei people, so we rushed directly along the Baoqiu River."

Xian Yufu suddenly realized and laughed: "So that's what it is, which scared us. Come on, let me introduce you to this, this is the leopard, Lu Longsai's leopard."

Li Hong stepped forward and greeted him again.

Gongsun Zan looked at Li Hong in surprise, and looked at him carefully up and down, and his smile slowly surged onto his handsome face.

"Okay. I didn't expect you to be so young, so young that it makes people jealous." Gongsun Zan patted Li Hong's shoulder hard.

The two were about as tall as usual, and generally strong as they were. But Gongsun Zan looked like a high-ranking official in military uniform, steady but not without majesty. Li Hong had long hair and shabby clothes. No matter how he looked, he looked like a down-and-out warrior, and he was also a simple and honest young warrior who seemed to have no experience.

In front of Gongsun Zan, who was much older and famous for a long time, Li Hong seemed a little restrained. He blushed and speechless, just looking at the other person with a very admiring gaze.

Gongsun Zan saw the young man's respect for him in Li Hong's eyes, and he felt very comfortable.

Over the past six months, this leopard suddenly rose from the northern border, and with the continuous battles, his fame became more and more famous, and even surpassed him. This made him feel very uncomfortable. Because of his poor background, he went through ups and downs, and had made more efforts than others, and finally achieved his current status and achievements. However, a slave of a Xianbei person, whose background was 100,800 miles away from him, became the Sima of the Lulong Frontier Army by chance. After working hard for more than ten years, he devoted countless hardships and sweats to exchange for the things that he received. This kid, who was called an idiot by the Xianbei people, easily got it within a few months. Although he was still two levels away from his official position, this was no longer an ordinary luck, but a lucky thing that made people jealous and madly.

In peacetime, no one was willing to join the border army unless they were forced to do so. First, the environment of the border army was deserted and remote, and the second was that once there was friction on the border, life and death were not guaranteed, and the third was not good. However, during the war, the border army was the most likely place to get military merits and get promotion opportunities. Li Hong's luck was that he joined the border army at the most appropriate time and in the most appropriate place, and participated in a rare battle. Now the soldiers who survived the Lulongsai War are basically officers, and those who have no seats also receive the salary of the captain of the 100-man team.

God never gives fair opportunities or fair rewards to those who work the same way.

Xian Yufu immediately introduced several other military waiters and fake military waiters to Gongsun Zan. Huzi's reputation seemed to be quite good on the frontier. Gongsun Zan talked to him for a few words, as if he was very familiar with him.

After Gongsun Zan finished greetings with everyone, he turned around and ordered the troops to station on the spot.

Gongsun Zan's younger brother Gongsun Yue, subordinates Yan Gang, Shan Jing, Guan Jing, Zou Dan and other soldiers, and the army waiters rushed over to meet Li Hong, Xian Yufu and others.

At the request of Gongsun Zan, everyone sat on the ground and listened to Li Hong's brief narrative on several battles on the battlefield in Yuyang City these days.

"Now, Xiong Ba, the largest general under Murong Feng, occupied Guangping, with tens of thousands of troops. For Yuyang, if Guangping is not recovered, it will be on the front line of war, which is very unsafe. Only by driving the Xianbei people back to Baitan can the battle end completely." Li Hong said at last.

"The people's eloquence is very good, and the explanation is very clear. They are also good at fighting, and they are indeed worthy of their reputation." Gongsun Zan looked at Li Hong with great appreciation and praised sincerely.

Then he continued: "The Yuyang battlefield is now at a deadlock, and to open a breakthrough, we must find another way. I agree with the people's opinions. The success or failure of the Zhuolu battlefield is directly related to the entire Youzhou battle situation. It is very likely that it is the key to whether we can repel the Xianbei people. Yuxing should immediately rush back to Yuyang City and report this matter to the governor in person."

Xian Yufu nodded, "What else do you have to convey to me? I'll go back now."

"Our army marched urgently for more than ten days, and was exhausted and needed rest and supplies urgently. I hope I could get food and grass tomorrow. In addition, I hope Yuyang County can give us reinforcements and rewards, preferably with more wine and meat." Gongsun Zan said with a smile, with no intention of negotiation in his tone.

Xian Yufu hesitated for a moment and nodded with a serious expression.

In the afternoon, Gongsun Zan sent someone to invite Li Hong and others to his camp. Everyone gathered together to eat meat and drink wine, and chatted randomly.

Since Li Hong presided over Lu Longsai's army, he has adhered to Tian Jing's set of military management methods and strictly prohibited soldiers from drinking and gathering. Although Hu Zi and others complained, they were not good at openly disobeying military discipline. Today, they got the opportunity and were so happy that they ate and drank wildly, and they completely forgot that the war was not over yet.

Li Hong doesn't like drinking. Since he lost his memory, it seems that it is difficult for him to accept this thing. Although he feels very familiar, he just doesn't like it and has a bad alcohol tolerance. Northerners are good at drinking, and many people can drink a jar of wine. Li Hong tried it a few times, and every time he drinks a few jue (jue, an ancient drinking utensil) he will immediately get drunk.

Gongsun Zan seemed to favor Li Hong in particular and was diligent in persuading him to drink.

Li Hong was unable to drink, and he talked more and more.

"A few years ago in Liaodong, the adults took dozens of cavalry to blockade, but were suddenly attacked by hundreds of cavalry in Xianbei. The adults led their troops to fight and retreat, but when they arrived at Yingting, they were surrounded by the enemy. The adults were not afraid of danger, holding a spear, shouting fiercely to fight, attacking the enemy's formation continuously, killing dozens of people, and finally led their troops to successfully break through. The Xianbei people still remember the courage of their great men."

"Who did you listen to the past?" Gongsun Zan asked casually.

"It was said by the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal is very afraid of you. When I was in Xianbei, I heard him mention your bravery several times."

Gongsun Zan laughed. He was particularly happy today. He could receive praise from Murong Feng of the Xianbei Kingdom, which really made him feel very accomplished.

After drinking more than ten ranks, Li Hong fell drunk immediately and didn't know the situation. After the banquet, Hu Zi and his men put Li Hong on the horse's back like a bag, allowing him to vomit all the way and slowly returned to the camp.

At noon the next day, Xian Yufu rushed back to the mountain pass ferry.

Liu Yu had accepted Li Hong's suggestion and ordered him to lead his troops to Changping, Guangyang County. After Changping received supplies, he immediately crossed the Taihang Mountains and went to Zhuolu to meet the Dai County military officer Shi Xianyu Yin's tribe who had arrived there in advance. Then, all the war was decided by Li Hong to repel the invading troops of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe as soon as possible.

Zhang Xun and Dou Qiao were recruited back to Yuyang City by Liu Yu because their soldiers had all transferred to Li Hong's cavalry unit.

Gongsun Zan's troops were stationed on the spot and received supplies at any time. After subsequent reinforcements arrived, they would jointly attack Guangping.

Li Hong woke up just after getting drunk and had a split headache. He secretly swears in his heart that he will never drink too much, which will delay serious business.

The troops set off immediately.

Accompanied by Xian Yufu, Li Hong reluctantly cheered up and went to Gongsun Zan's camp to say goodbye to him. Gongsun Zan encouraged him a few words and personally sent Li Hong out of the camp.

"Brother Bo Gui, what do you think the people will win?"

Looking at Li Hong who was gradually disappearing from his sight, Xian Yufu asked with great concern.

"The people have the talent for fighting, and their understanding and control of the overall situation of the war is beyond our reach. Unfortunately, the clever wife is hard to cook without rice. His troops are small in number and weak in strength, and they are vulnerable at all. Moreover, he and the Tuoba tribe are as deep as the sea of ​​revenge, so Tuoba Feng cannot miss such a good opportunity to take revenge."

"If the Xianbei people were bound to face Shanggu County, Tuoba Feng might have arrived in Zhuolu himself. With Tuoba Feng's strength, the people might not be able to escape the fate of defeat."

"There is no danger to defend Zhuolu City."

Gongsun Zan said calmly.

"Has my Han Kingdom really declined?" Xian Yufu said helplessly.

Gongsun Zan sighed.

"Almost. Last year's Yellow Turban riot was just the beginning of the decline of the Han Dynasty."

"When today, Zi sent Lord Huangfu Song, Lord Zhu Jun to lead the main force of the Han army to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan and Nanyang, which pose the greatest threat to Luoyang; my teacher Lord Lu Zhi and Lord Dong Zhuo led the army to suppress the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou. The emperor also ordered the lifting of the party and mobilizing the powerful forces from all over the country to raise troops, and mobilize all forces to deal with the Yellow Turban riot. Although the riots in the three places were quelled at the end of last year, the Han Dynasty was greatly damaged. Look at the remnants of Bingzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Rebellion again like mushrooms after a rain, and they have become more and more intense."

"In Bian Zhang of Xiliang, Han Sui raised an army to rebel at the beginning of this month, threatening Sanfu and Chang'an. The left cavalry general Huangfu Song had received the imperial edict from the court and left Jizhou to quell the rebellion. Once he left, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou would surely rise again."

"The Hu people outside the Great Wall took the opportunity to invade the border and repeatedly invaded, and all parts of the border counties were destroyed and ravaged."

"But today, my son sold official positions and titles in Luoyang, increased taxes, built palaces and halls, and was extremely arrogant and extravagant. Eunuchs and friends were traitors, levying bribes, and robbing power and harming the country. Countless loyal ministers and righteous men had ambitions but were useless. Seeing nobles and eunuchs controlling the government, they jumped up and down, and they were going to burn this great land one day."

"The Han Kingdom is already shaking."

Xian Yufu was shocked.

"Brother Bo Gui, you are crazy. You can also say such ruthless words. These things are too far away from us, and it is not our turn to worry about them. It's better to find a way to solve the crisis in Youzhou in front of you."

"What's the point? Isn't it just to ask for troops? If you can create tens of thousands of troops, the big thing can be decided."

Xian Yufu suddenly remembered something.
