Time returns to normal.

In the second year of Chuping, in mid-September, when the autumn wind blows, the leaves turn yellow. The Battle of Jizhou Jieqiao is like a hot iron pot being uncovered. Seeing the boiling hot water inside, it is a battle for the princes from all over the country to compete for each other for territory. Looking down on this continent, all living beings are like elks trapped in the mud, struggling hard.

In the Central Plains, Yanzhou is undergoing huge changes. The migration of millions of people is unprecedented. The endless wave of people and seas has begun to take root in this soil in batches, but they are still frightened and helpless. These Yellow Turban refugees are already in their own way. The living people need to eat and have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. Seeing that winter is coming soon, a large number of young and strong people have begun to embark on the only way to join the army to eat - join the army.

The remaining huge number of people began a policy of self-sufficiency in Xu County. However, the army is still the big head of Yanzhou, and the supply is given priority and the recruitment of a large number of soldiers is also in full swing in autumn. The army formed by the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou is increasing with a terrifying number. These men who seem to be too hungry and thin have actually seen blood in their hands and understand the cruelty of death. After taking the weapons, they are often more aggressive in combat power than the soldiers from ordinary families.

Perhaps it is exactly what the Lord of this place needs.

Chenliu, at noon.

Yanzhou is the center of the bordering states. Chenliu connects to Hebei in the north, but it is difficult to connect to Yuzhou and Luoyang in the west. It is considered an important town among the four battles. However, the roads on all sides also make the city prosperous. Vendors shout and pedestrians come and go. As the rows of houses extend past, there are women quarreling in Cao Cao's mansion behind the government office.

"You go! You go! If you don't find An'er back, don't go into my room!"

"Zi Xiu wants to go to the north, what does it have to do with being a husband?"

"...The barbarians gathered in the grassland, which was extremely dangerous. What are the differences between Ang'er? I don't want to stay in the Cao family for too long."

"The White Wolf can take care of Zi Xiu. Madam, don't be upset anymore. Go out first for your husband. If you have official duties, you should be busy."

In mid-September, the news that the Xianbei was defeated by Gongsun Zhi had not yet reached all over the Central Plains, but it was obvious that those who knew the white wolf were not optimistic that the Xianbei people could defeat him. After a moment, footsteps sounded, and then opened the door, two figures around came forward to greet him, with a smile on their faces.

He walked out of the door and glared at Cao Chun, who was dark and stout opposite him: "...It's not all you, just let Zixi do whatever he wants. If you really have something to do, you can explain it yourself."

While talking, the three of them went all the way to the front hall.

"You two came over in a hurry and stood for a long time. What's wrong?" After walking through the door, Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Sit down first."

"Brother... we won't sit down." The other person was Cao Hong. He rubbed his hands, his face filled with a smile, his tone brewed, and he smiled and said, "Are we going to form five thousand cavalry... Come and tell you about this..."

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and looked at the two of them, raising his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"There is not enough horses!" Cao Chun said straightforwardly: "Yuan asked him to take two thousand horses directly, but the number is not enough now... he has to find another way."

"I asked him to take the matter of Yuan Rang." Cao Cao tapped the long case with his finger and thought for a moment: "As for the five thousand cavalry, it will be temporarily set to three thousand cavalry. Zi and Haosheng will go to practice. I will send someone to Shanggu County to buy some of the white wolf. It should not be difficult for him to have a mad place."

The words paused and said another thing: "Did you write to my father?"

"I'm here, but it's not safe to go on the road in chaos right now..." Cao Hong said halfway, kicking him, Cao Chun glared at him: "What are you talking nonsense!" Then he bowed: "You should be slower on the way to go, and my uncle is old and weak, so the way is even slower. I guess he will leave for Yanzhou until the spring next year."

Cao Cao nodded, pointing his fingers at Cao Hong rubbing his butt. The latter was so scared that he immediately stood up straight, tightly closing his mouth and dared not speak.

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

The long wind blows thousands of miles.

In Shanggu County, the sky light gradually tilted westward. The city gate opened, and teams of cavalry holding torches stretched over to the barracks north of the city. The light was filled with houses, the outlines of tents, and the chariots carrying baggage were constantly gathering. The craftsmen in the army were busy preparing some things needed for the war, or repairing armor and weapons. This was the posture before the war. Obviously, a big move would be launched soon.

The war horse galloped into the schoolyard, hundreds of people flipped off their horses and headed towards the huge tent in the center of the camp. There were bright lights. Patrols around. The guards saw the figures strode, and they were thrusting their gun handles and straightened their backs.

Watching the Supreme Commander enter the tent.

"Chief! (Prefect)"

The seats on both sides of the tent were filled with figures of drinking and eating meat. In addition to Gao Sheng, Dongfang Sheng, Yan Rou, Qian Zhao, and Hua Xiong, who started his career, there were Dian Wei, Li Ru, Cao Ang and others who fought many wars with Gongsun Zhi, as well as the newly joined Qubei, Suo Nu, and Yu Du, who had just been transferred back from Yanmen County. Xu Rong and Pan Feng were also guarding the gateway of Yanmen County Yinguan. In a sense, his team no longer belonged to any powerful prince.

In different respects, Gongsun Zhi strode in, pressed them in the air to sit down, then took off his cloak and threw it to Li Ke to sit down on the colorful tiger-skin chair, and the people on both sides followed him and sat down.

"When I was not here, I believe Wenyou had already told you that my father is now surrounded by Yuan Benchu, and his soldiers are in danger and will be destroyed at any time. As the prefect of Xiajun, you can choose not to go because it is a trap, but as a son of man, my Gongsun Zhi must get into the trap even if he is trapped..."

The tent was brightly lit, the wine and meat were also floating. Most of the people present were rough and generous. At this time, the military meeting was serious and tightened their fill. Gongsun Zhi did not pay too much attention to this. After all, he came here like this when he was a horse thief and was used to it. If he sat down seriously, he would feel abnormal.

"After my father sat down in Youzhou, he gave Shanggu County great support, and transferred 2,500 white horses to me, so I have decided to send troops this time.... What do you have to say?"

The one-armed scholar on the left was about to get up, and he raised his hand and pressed it: "Sit down and say." Then, Dongfang Sheng spoke: "The sending troops is second. The main thing is that although the cattle and sheep that robbed this time temporarily alleviated the dilemma of insufficient food in winter, he would leave a cattle and sheep to rent for the people to breed and reproduce, and then return it to the government office. The livestock deducted from this and made it into dried bacon for the soldiers. After all, tens of thousands of Heishan infantrymen crossed mountains and ridges to surround Yecheng, and ordinary logistics supplies could not keep up... the burden was too great."

"Does anyone else have any?" Gongsun Zhi leaned against the back of the chair, pinched his fingers, and glanced at Li Ru, and the latter bowed: "No matter how heavy the burden is, the number of people cannot be small. Ten thousand people are already the smallest. If ten thousand people are missing to surround Yecheng, Yuan Shao and his subordinates will not be anxious. The strategy of surrounding Wei and saving Zhao will not work, and the other two will also destroy themselves."

At this moment, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and a figure came in quickly. Everyone's eyes looked over. The man's face suddenly turned red. He had an iron helmet in one hand and nowhere to put the other hand. He hung in front of him at a loss. He heard a majestic voice on the big chair behind the long desk: "Go to sit down at the end of the left."

Gongsun Xuru received a general amnesty and quickly sat down on the empty seat on the curtain. He stood up straight and sat upright, but his eyes secretly swept the people around him who were drinking and eating meat. He was quite surprised. Not to mention why there were two foreign generals in the tent. The rest of the people alone were far beyond the father's team. His elder brother was so successful with these rough and rough men. The generals in the middle must be very powerful. While he was thinking about it, a middle-aged scholar with bearded characters and long chins and beards spoke.

"The prefect... This battle is not about typing, and Yecheng is surrounded and not fighting, but it seems to be a real fight. This way, the other two sides can move first, and then the other two sides will move. At that time, Xu Gongzi will lead the cavalry from Youzhou to attract attention. When Yuan Shao shows signs of retreating, the prefect will go out to Wuruan Pass and attack Yixian. It is best if he can not take action throughout the whole process. Once he takes action, he will attract the attention of Yuan Shao in the retreat, and it will be revealed."

As Li Ru spoke, Gongsun Xu opened his mouth slightly, and was shocked to find that he was thinking hard and trying to solve Yi Jing's crisis, the scholar casually spread the whole process. In the tent, Dian Wei, Hua Xiong and others, who have always been known for their bravery, showed regret on their fierce faces: "Is there no war to fight?"

Things became clear and there was no concealment. This allowed all the generals to know the overall situation clearly and not to do anything randomly. Once the troops were sent, there would be no simple look back.

"The Heishan infantry has increased to 15,000. Leader Yu, you often walk on Taihang Mountain, you should know that there are shortcuts..." Gongsun Zhi leaned forward slightly, staring at the figure in the middle of the right: "The food is all for you. The wolf cavalry along Youzhou has only brought food for two days, and the rest are found to be a way to rob the rest. The Heishan cavalry along with me has only brought food for five days, and when they go down the mountain, they are full of food... Don't forget that my Gongsun Zhi started his family and was a horse thief, so he would rob him if he didn't have enough food."

"So...Captain Yu, can you do it?"

The figure in the middle stood up and was full of energy: "Chief, don't worry, when you go to Taihang Mountain, it's like entering your own backyard and siege Yecheng. It's not the first time you're stolen. You've been familiar with it. If you really fight, I, Lao Yu, will take Yuan Shao's wives, concubines and sons to the leader and act as a pig or dog!"

Gongsun Zhi punched the handrail with a fierce punch.

"What you want is your words, I'll wait for good news-"

The military agreed.

There was a roar of joy in the tent, and the noise of drinking was heard.
