That year, the Yellow Turban Army came out of Qingzhou and killed the governor of Gunzhou.Cao Cao, the former governor of Dongjun County, led Gunzhou Mu, defeated the Yellow Turban Army, and received 30 soldiers.

In the same year, Yuan Shao was defeated by Panshui, rectified the internal forces in Jizhou, wiped out Heishan Yudu, and then passed through Qinghe, intending to take Qingzhou directly.

Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan at the gate of Qingzhou, was defeated by Yuan Shao, retreated to Beihai County, and entered Xuzhou to ask for help. Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, was in a hurry.

At that time, Cheng Yu reported to Cao Cao that Zhao Yun's surrender was unsuccessful, but Gongsun Zan's daughter blocked the matter. Cao Cao wondered about her daughter, and immediately used Cheng Yu as his envoy to leave Youzhou with pearls, jade girls, gold treasures, and beg for his eldest son Cao Ang. marriage.Attached is a personal letter, and it is planned to join forces from the north and the south to attack Yuan Shao and divide Jizhou together.

Later, when Yuan Shao broke through the plains, Cao Cao also sent troops to Qingzhou.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Yu was robbed by Zhang Yan halfway, and all the gold and jade things were lost. Nu Yue and Congren were tied up on fast horses and sent to Youzhou together. The time spent on the way was more than half faster than Cao Cao expected.He hadn't won in Qingzhou, and Cheng Yu had already arrived in Youzhou along with the current situation.

In the back hall of Wubao, all the generals under Gongsun Zan's command, including Chen Kuang and Zhao Yun, stood quietly and thought about strategies together.

Gongsun Zan paced back and forth holding the silk on which Cao Cao wrote the letter, the veins on his forehead twitched violently, and his thin, knife-like lips drew a resolute and sharp line.

Yuan Shao didn't move Hengshui, so he just turned to attack Qingzhou. There is also Cao Cao, who clearly promised a good marriage, but secretly directed his troops at Qingzhou.Gongsun Zan was concerned about the 30 surrendered soldiers in his hands, and he didn't dare to fight Yuan Shao like before, for fear that Cao Cao would have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Gongsun Zan is brave and fierce, galloping on the battlefield like a lion and a tiger. He only has life and death in his heart, and he will never retreat in a battle.And in this chaotic world, the delicate human heart, the connection between power and power, although he is not completely ignorant, but he has no intention to study it carefully, and it is the most troublesome.

If it weren't for this, Yuan Shao would not have taken the lead in conspiring with him in Jizhou in the previous letter. If Zhao Yun hadn't broken the iron shield and crossbow array alone, I am afraid it would still be difficult to recover the disadvantage.

In fact, although Gongsun Zan set up the governor of Qingzhou, Qingzhou was far from his hands.Apart from Liu Bei, Prime Minister of Pingyuan, Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai State, the largest prefecture in Qingzhou, has a low military strength, but has a very high reputation. Kuang has been trying his best to oppose Gongsun Zan and Tian Kai's storming of Beihai.But now, Yuan Shao took the initiative to break through the plains and force Beihai, obviously to protect Gongsun Zan from this notoriety. Presumably Cao Cao also saw this and sent troops immediately after him to gain fame and profit.

A group of people discussed in the hall for a long time, and finally Chen Kuang made a decision and pretended to ask for it.Gongsun Zan personally led the troops, and then came to Hengshui Xindu City, echoed with Cao Cao from north to south, and jointly captured Jizhou.

While attracting the attention of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, Zhao Yun led [-] cavalry and a small amount of dry food, and traveled day and night to Qingzhou as quickly as possible.

From Jixian County to Qingzhou, with thousands of miles to attack, the lone army went deep, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had to face two groups of troops several times larger than his own. If Gongsun Zan could not attract the tens of thousands of Yuan Cao's main force who were currently confronting Qingzhou in time, his whereabouts would be Captured by the scouts ahead of time, 5000 people were close to death.

It is planned that everyone will perform their own duties, and each will go back to the camp to gather soldiers and horses, dispatch food and grass, and prepare to go north to fight Jizhou again.

"Sir, go slowly." Zhao Yun stopped Chen Kuang, who was leaving the back hall together, at the door, his usual calm expression was uncommonly disturbed and somewhat worried.

"Why, the battle situation is dangerous this time, are you afraid?" Chen Kuang knew what he wanted to ask, but he still pretended not to know what to ask, but still patted him on the shoulder with a playful tone, half a smile.

"Sir, you are joking." Zhao Yun forced a smile to save face, hesitated again and again, and finally asked the question that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, "My lord has decided to make an alliance with Cao Jun, so... that marriage... can be regarded as... sure." gone?"

With a hesitant tone, a trace of almost unchangeable sadness passed between his brows.

"Haha..." Chen Kuang laughed out loud suddenly, startling Zhao Yun, "Zilong, Zilong, finally..."

Chen Kuang's gaze is clear and sophisticated, as if he knows everything.Zhao Yun felt a little hot on his face. The young general, who was not afraid of thousands of troops, felt as if his heartbeat and breathing were suspended in mid-air by his rising tone.

However, Chen Kuang changed his tone, swallowed the half of the sentence after "finally", and patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder again, but did not answer him directly.

"Qingzhou is a land that borders the sea and crosses the river, connecting the north and the south. If you can subdue one person to make Cao's army retreat and let the lord get the land of Qingzhou, the lord has no reason to refuse. Even if A Wu is the lord's daughter. What's more, Cao Cao If my lord refuses to ask for marriage, how can I win the trust of Cao Cao and form an alliance between the two families!"

I remember that when Wang Wu heard the news from Yun Jiang, she only frowned lightly, and said lightly: "If we can form an alliance with one family, how can we use swords, guns and horses in this world? Erlang is fighting for victory." What does the world have to do with a little girl like me, relying on the pride of the battlefield and the skill of bowing horses?"

Why do you want to involve the woman's nepotism when you are fighting for victory?

Zhao Yun's blood was surging, and Yun Xia, who was like a raging fire in the sky, seemed to be attracted by Wang Wu's words, burning all the way to his heart.

But after that, Wang Wu sent Yun Jiang away and walked back with Zhao Yun, but never mentioned this matter again.Neither did she ask Zhao Yun for details, nor asked Cheng Yu to inquire about the facts. Even when she saw Gongsun Zan report that she was safe, she didn't move her eyes, as if she didn't know such a thing existed, as if she said it had nothing to do with her. , it really has nothing to do with her.

But after getting along for more than a year, Zhao Yun knew very well that Wang Wu's temperament seemed to be indifferent to everything, but she was a person who could hide things in her heart.Although she just frowned slightly, she immediately smiled like a breeze and a bright moon, probably she had already made up her mind.

She was able to leave home in Liaodong to escape marriage, but if the marriage is really settled this time, she may have to escape again.What's more, judging from Gongsun Zan's words today, he is also wary of Cao Cao, and it is unknown how long this alliance between the two can last.If Wang Wu married in the past, the two families would turn their faces again...

But this time, Gongsun Zan had learned from the past, even if Wang Wu wanted to escape, it might not be so easy to escape.In addition, after the First Battle of Panshui, Gongsun Zan's reputation rose greatly, if Wang Wu left Youzhou, the danger would only be more dangerous than before!

Seeing Zhao Yun staring at him silently, Chen Kuang changed his subject: "Of course, this is just a bad strategy for my lord to share Qingzhou with Cao Cao! If Zilong makes this trip, he can take Qingzhou into his pocket before Yuan and Cao's armies... …It doesn’t make any sense for Ah Wu to marry Cao’s son again. To borrow a word from Ah Wu—how can a tiger girl marry a dog son.”

In the place where Yuan and Cao fought, Zhao Yun only had 5000 troops, and it was not easy to contain Yuan Cao's army.What Chen Kuang thought was to take Qingzhou directly with these 5000 troops!

This is simply impossible.

But Zhao Yun's eyes gradually brightened, and the fighting spirit was like a scorching flame, bright and intense, suddenly blooming in his eyes.

When Gongsun Zan returned to Youzhou to recuperate from his injuries a year ago, he was ready to fight again in the coming year.During this year, there was no rest day for stockpiling rations and training soldiers and horses.At this moment, as soon as the order was issued, the food, grass, soldiers and horses were prepared very quickly. In only three or five days, the first batch of more than a thousand grain vehicles and supplies had gathered on the post road leading to Wubao.

Its speed was so fast that Cheng Yu, who was an envoy, couldn't help but click his tongue.

On the seventh day, Gongsun Zan personally led an army of [-], Baima Yicong [-], and cavalry [-] in formation. The soldiers pointed south and went to Xindu City.

Everyone's eyes were attracted by the banner that almost covered the sky. The soldiers and horses marched in formation, like moving mountains and cities, with clanging horses' hooves, windy steps, and smoke and dust.The gold and armor clashed like a forest, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

No one noticed that under the thicker and thicker smoke, which was so choking that people could barely open their eyes, there were another five thousand white horse riders, who wrapped their horseshoes with soft cloth and tied up their mouths, and disappeared into the forest behind Wubao. End of a small road on the west side.

Zhao Yun prepared for the battle with all his heart, either in front of the map or in the barracks all day long.Before he even had time to see Wang Wu again, he traveled from Ji County to Bohai County.

Crossing mountains and rivers, copying paths, and avoiding sentries, the 5000 people were almost non-stop. They couldn't untie their saddles, and they couldn't leave their knives. After five full days, they finally arrived in Qingzhou.

After Liu Bei was defeated and left the plain, Tian Kai was stationed on the shore of Hengshui. The army was unable to rescue him. Yuan Shao's army bypassed the main force and drove straight in. He fought all the way to Beihai County. , Abandoning the city and fleeing south.

At this time, Cao Jun, who had been lying in the dark, launched an attack on Yuan Jun, who had not yet established a firm foothold in the city and celebrated his victory.

When Zhao Yun arrived with 5000 troops, it was the third day after Cao's siege.

And the dense forest where they hid was also the place where Cao Jun's vanguard troops had hidden their tracks and spied on Yuan Shao's army to attack the city.

Densely forested highlands with excellent views.At the time of sunset, Cao Jun’s army was in order in the distance, and the dots of torches, like stars hanging in the night sky on the grassland, illuminated the gate of Juxian, the gateway city of Beihai Kingdom, as if it were daytime.

Tens of thousands of troops formed camps and stretched for more than ten miles. The ladders were like dragons, the tall buildings were like bamboo shoots, and the arrows were like rain.

Zhao Yun signaled everyone to get off their horses and stand still, but he walked to the edge of the forest and watched the battle from afar.

But at this moment, all the rows of defensive shields on the top of the city were suddenly removed, revealing a large flag fluttering, with the word "Gao" embroidered in gold on it, and dozens of people were pushed up to the top of the city.

The rain of arrows stopped immediately.

As far as Zhao Yun could see, he saw the flags in the Cao camp unfurling in a hurry, yelling and cursing, blowing towards them with the wind.

Although I don't know who Yuan Jun has tied up, Cao Bing can make Cao Bing use his weapon.But this method of not defending the city, but preventing the enemy from attacking the city, coincides with what Chen Kuang said, "keep the enemy from fighting with us".

Zhao Yun was using what he had learned in a year to compare the situation in the war, when he heard footsteps behind him, he turned around abruptly.

Everyone gave way one after another, Fan Cheng rushed out from behind, trotting all the way to him, covered in dust, dripping with sweat on his forehead, panting endlessly.

Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice and asked him, "How is it?"

Fan Cheng wiped his face, and the dust on his sleeves and his face rubbed together with sweat, forming a gray and black mess on his young face.But the young man didn't care, his eyes on his ashen face sparkled with excitement: "Brother Zhao's words were right, Yuan Shao left people in Pingyuan County, and they were attacking behind Cao's army. There were about [-] people, and the banner was "Zhu 'Character."

After the First Battle of Panshui, Gongsun Zan listened to Chen Kuang's suggestion and selected smart and capable men from the army to serve as scouts. I don't know the mistakes of the Iron Shield Bow and Crossbow Array.Zhao Yun singled out Fan Cheng, together with a dozen or so young men with good skills, as scouts for this trip.

Zhao Yun secretly heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.

He had listened to Chen Kuang's lectures on the art of war for more than a year. Even when Yuan Shao attacked the camp, he had led Gongsun Zan's three thousand white horse followers, but that was only an expedient measure in the face of danger, and Gongsun Zan also supervised the battle.This time was the first time he really led the army alone.

Applying the art of war on the bamboo slips to actual combat, it is necessary to win more with less and win the city in chaos. Although he has a plan in mind in the past five days, he is not experienced enough after all.At this time, when he heard that everything was as he expected, he couldn't help but feel certain in his heart.

Fan Cheng paused for a moment, took a few breaths, and waved back: "Brother Zhao, we have found what you want us to find, but we are in a hurry..."

While talking, a few ashen-faced teenagers like him also ran out, but they were still carrying a huge long pole in their hands, and the long pole was wrapped in a layer of cloth, which seemed to be a bit heavy, so it slowed down They arrived one step later than Fan Cheng.

The cloth Xu Zhan turned out to be a large flag with a black background color exactly like the city under the dense forest, but the red "Zhu" character was embroidered on the flag.

"...Zhao Geyan, we can't disturb people, we can't meet people, we dare not cut down wood to make flagpoles, so we can only find an abandoned village and tear down the bamboo racks for drying clothes behind the village..."

Fan Cheng was about to explain the difference between their "fake" flag and the "authentic" flag used by General Yuan Jun who is currently stationed in Pingyuan County. He also wanted to ask Zhao Yun what he wanted Cao Jun's flag for, and Zhao Yun waved it directly. He waved his hand and immediately explained to him.

"Is your flag well-made, does it look like it, why don't you let Yuan Jun, who is guarding the city, take a look!" Zhao Yun's eyes were shining brightly, and the corners of his lips were lightly raised. The smile in his eyes seemed to wipe the dust off his body. Sweeping away, the brilliance is overwhelming, and the vigor is rapidly displayed. The whole person seems to have suddenly turned into a sharp knife and quietly unsheathed it.

"Here's an order to smear the horses, the whole army pretends to be Yuan Jun from Pingyuan, pretends to attack Cao, and actually takes the city gate!"

Five thousand knights smeared their horses with dirt, and the five thousand white horses immediately became as gray and black as Fan Cheng's face, beyond recognition.

Cao Jun, who had just stopped fighting in the city, only heard the shout of killing and shaking the sky suddenly behind him, but before he could react, five thousand cavalrymen swooped down from the high ground in the blink of an eye, like a giant sharp arrow, whizzing, and shot towards them. Flying together, the ground trembled when they stepped on it.

The army is more expensive than victory, not long.These are the six words Chen Kuang gave Zhao Yun before his departure.

The author has something to say: Can anyone guess what Ah Wu is doing now?

~Haha~ I finally changed the map. In the land of Qingzhou, many, many things will happen...Sweet [Dark Fog—Woman Sings Husband Sui [Dark Fog—drama!]

I gave a reminder, roll up your sleeves and get ready for development~ hahaha~
