Chapter one hundred and ninety fourth
The cold wind blew across the stretching mountains.
Before the sun rose, the golden drums were ringing from the end of the distant mountains. There was a brief chaos between the mountains and fields. The resting Youyan soldiers emerged from the forest. After the buzzing and subtle conversation, they quickly gathered. The generals on each floor shouted and integrated the team. Above them, they were not a steep hillside, and they stood up at this time after sitting all night.
The cold morning breeze rustled by, and the wolf velvet gently stroked. Dian Wei, behind him, Li Ke and Zhao Yun, who had bandaged their noses, came here and bowed: "Chief, Yuan Shao's troops are already outside... Our people have already spread the news..."
As he was speaking, Gongsun Zhi did not make a sound. Looking down at the open area below, a group of teams lined up in long queues from here to the back of the mountain. When the words behind him were almost the same, he waved: "Take Gao Lan and Gao Huai with you, and we will go out to greet Yuan Shao."
The glimmer of light in the east spread out from the clouds. More than 2,000 Black Mountain cavalry who had not yet left the mountainous fields below the hillside and more than 1,000 people led by Shan Jing were waiting silently. The Youyan infantrymen who left here tried not to make too loud noises. Occasionally, there were many worries in the eyes of the eyes.
Before dawn, Li Ke walked in front with a torch. Gongsun Zhi walked to the team that was left behind. Most of his body was bandaged. He looked quite tragic. His eyes swept across everyone, and he was silent for a moment, and said, "...I am a little surprised that so many people have stayed. In fact, there are not so many people."
"Sir... lord... what you said is a shame." Shan Jing patted his chest. He was covered in wounds and there was blood on his armor. "When the old lord was alive, he never said anything about his brothers. Besides, these are the duties of being a soldier. The lord said directly what to do."
Gongsun Zhi waved his hand and smiled: "This is not the time to show loyalty. After finishing my work, my cavalry will run fast. You group of infantrymen will be dragging you down."
"This..." Shan Jing was a little embarrassed, and the soldiers around him laughed loudly, and there was a voice to rescue the lord general and shouted out: "Don't worry, lord, we had chased the Xianbei and Wuhuan cavalry on the grassland... Although we didn't catch up, we definitely ran faster!" Many people around him immediately responded: "Yes, if we really want to run, we will definitely run faster than the gang of women in Jizhou."
"Yes, at worst, I'll throw away the weapons at that time..."
"What did you guy say? It's just a fight!"
Amid the noise, Gongsun Zhixu pressed his palm, and the voices of the people gradually stopped, and his eyes swept over them seriously: "This is not faster than anyone else. You all evacuate immediately with the brigade. This is my order."
Shan Jing looked at the young coach in front of him for a while, nodded before, and waved behind him: "Everyone comes with me!" When the integrated team left, he turned around and raised his hands, and his tone was quite stiff: "Lord... we are waiting for you in Wuruan Pass..."
After saying this, he led the team to leave with the main force. On this side, Gongsun Zhi watched them walk to the back of the mountains, and he climbed onto the horse and strangled the reins: "Then... let's meet Yuan Shao." His eyes swept across the cavalry, as well as Gao Lan, who was thrown on the horse, and galloped out of the mountains.
After a moment, the Black Mountain cavalry roared towards the back of the leader in front and followed. After galloping out of the mountain, their vision became wider. At the dawn of lead and green, the soldiers and horses of Jizhou spread out on the field, and the whole atmosphere was dim and depressing.
The Yuan character floating in the wind in front of the formation. Because of poor vision, Yuan Shao looked at the outline of the distant mountain, squinted his eyes slightly, and whispered to Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Guo Yuan, Tian Feng, Guo Tu, etc. beside him: "Why did you say Gongsun Zhi want to see me?"
"He is about to perish, probably because he wants to have a peace talk..." When Guo Tu echoed, Tian Feng next to him shook his head: "Lord, with Feng's opinion, he may be making trouble with Gao Lan and Gao Huai... Maybe he wants to exchange for some time."
The wind blew across the face, Yuan Shao frowned slightly expressionlessly and tightened the reins in his hand. Obviously, he vaguely realized that he was going to face a difficult problem.
Tian Feng also frowned, frowned even more: "No, right...but what's wrong..."
As he pondered and thought, the sky lit up slightly, and the sound of horse hooves roared from the front. A safe distance that could not be covered by arrows was most likely to grow into one of the strongest in the world, and then, slowed down and lined up the formation layer by layer.
Then several riders walked forward and looked prominent. Yuan Shao, Yan Liang and Wen Chou and others saw that they all looked familiar, especially when Yuan Shao saw that the white figure among several people, the originally cold face was slightly moved. He was chased by the other party in his own military formation in a very embarrassing way. I am afraid that it will be unforgettable for the rest of his life. As for the others... they can't even call them. Perhaps those standing in front of them are obviously not incompetent people.
At this time, there was a change in front of him. The several riders moved left and right, and inside, a figure faintly rode out on a horse, with a long sword serrating around his waist.
White Wolf, Gongsun Zhi.
The single cavalry slowly came out and kept moving forward. Several cavalry behind him followed with their weapons. The autumn sun was revealed among the clouds and the sun shone down, Gongsun Zhi bowed to Yuan Shao in front of both sides of the enemy and us: "Yuan Benchu, dare to come out and speak."
The voice was not loud, but it still passed clearly. Feng Ji quickly stopped him: "Lord, don't go out. Bailang has always been cunning, be careful that he can shoot cold arrows in secret."
Hahaha--
Under the big banner, Yuan Shao laughed and waved his hand suddenly: "If I don't go out, wouldn't I be embarrassed in front of the soldiers?" After a pause, he rode out of the formation, and all the fierce generals such as Yan Liang and Wen Chou followed. The two sides approached and stopped at about ten feet.
"Gongsun Zhi..." Yuan Shao crossed the reins, looked at the figure in the middle, and pressed the feeling of killing first and then getting quick: "Do you want to send Gao Lan and the others back?"
"It's true!" Gongsun Zhi took the front half of the step forward. It was the first time he had seen this future short-lived northern overlord so close. Then he hooked his finger behind him and brought it with two figures tied up. He spoke again: "But it's not a return, but a deal."
“Buy and sell?”
"Yes, it's a deal." Gongsun Zhi nodded, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and showed his white teeth: "This deal depends on what Yuan Jizhou views. If you want Gao Lan and the other two, then retreat thirty miles. If you don't want it, I will kill them in front of your generals and clean up some useless subordinates for Yuan Jizhou."
The opposite side mentioned the word "buy and sell" as soon as they opened their mouths, but there was no place for buying and selling. On this side, Yuan Shao's face appeared again, and his muscles twitched slightly. He had never regretted anything. If he didn't come today, it would have nothing to do with him to kill and return Gao Lan. At the moment, the conditions set by the other party were very obvious.
If he dared to attack, Gongsun Zhi killed Gao Lan and Gao Huai showed the soldiers and generals. It would be a big deal to see if he could catch up with the other party, but it would definitely put a shadow in everyone's hearts of ignoring their lives and deaths.
If he did not attack, even though he saved Gao Lan and the others, he would let Bailang go for nothing. Obviously, he was unwilling to accept it and only added a strong enemy to the side.
The battlefield became quiet. In front of Yuan Jun in the rear, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Tian Feng and other strategists were stunned for a long time. This was the first time to see such a scoundrel. Tian Feng kept staring at the figure of the white wolf in front of him and frowned, always thinking something was wrong. After a while, Gao Lan and Gao Huai were blocked and made a "woof..." sound that was thrown to the ground. The unsheathed sword was pressed on the other party's neck.
Gongsun Zhi's voice came word by word: "Have you thought about it? Yuan Jizhou."
"So vicious..." Yan Liang walked forward with a golden sword: "Lord, the generals will inevitably die in front of the formation. Just die. Don't let Gongsun Zhi escape." The other generals around agreed, and the murderous aura appeared faintly, and they were ready to fight.
Yuan Shao naturally thought about more than a simple general. It is one of the reasons that would damage his reputation regardless of the life and death of his subordinates, and it is the most important thing to make those who want to join him worry about it.
Although he is resourceful, his seldom decisive character is exposed at this moment. Gongsun Zhi also exploits his weakness and makes noises from time to time to disrupt his thinking.
"Yuan Jizhou, it's getting late, let's make a decision."
At this time, Tian Feng, who was behind, stretched his eyebrows, jumped out of the formation, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord, Gongsun Zhi's plan is not Gao Lan and the other two, he is delaying the time--"
