[Three Kingdoms] After crossing, I opened the sick and weak main road line

The watchtowers and watchtowers at the four corners of Yuan Mansion are very useful. No matter what is going on around them, as long as someone stands on the watchtower, they will immediately notice something strange.

Xun You calculated the distance from Gaoyi to Anguo, guessed that their uncle would be here in the next few days, and sent people to the watchtower every day to check. As soon as the convoy appeared nearby, the nursing yard on the watchtower sent the news to the main courtyard.

Lu Bu was idle and had nothing to do when he heard that someone came and asked Ying to go out to pick him up. His red rabbit was faster than other people's horses, so he was the most suitable for picking up people.

Before the voice landed, the person was gone.

Xun You silently put down his half-raised hand, patted his sleeves and followed to the gate, watching the dust raised by the horse's hoof, praying that their uncle would not be frightened by this guy.

He took back what he said before, Zhang Wenyuan and Zhao Zilong were only occasionally unstable, but he, Lu Fengxian, from the first meeting until now, he can be sure that this person has never been stable.

Yuan Huan wrapped his cloak tightly with a smile. He found that his nephew Xun You gritted his teeth every time he mentioned Lu Bu. He really asked him to start to study Lu Bu, but he refused to go. It is rare for someone to make the serious and serious Xun Gongda react like this. He these days It is very pleasant to watch the jokes.

The sun was on the west side, and the wind blowing in front brought some coolness. The gate happened to be a vent. Xun You stood outside for a while, trying to persuade the man to go back to the house to rest, "My lord, it's windy outside, uncle and the others should still It will take a while to arrive, so don't blow the wind here."

"It's okay, if Wen Ruo comes, how can you not go out to greet him?" Yuan Huan shook his head with a smile. He was given so many decoctions by the disease doctor, and his body is no longer as fragile as when he just woke up. The weather is neither cold nor hot in late spring. Blowing will not make you sick.

The one who will come is Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, who is known as the Yingchuan trafficker. As long as this person is willing to stay, will Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao, Chen Qun and other talents be far behind?

He wasn't waiting for Xun Yu alone, he was waiting for Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Zhong Yao, etc., and a group of people. This was the key to his future counselor guild, and he had to go out to greet him.

Xun You looked at the brave lord disapprovingly, seeing that he really didn't listen to persuasion, so he asked someone to make some cold ginger soup for him to drink when he went back.

"Now that you're wearing spring shirts, why do you need to keep out the cold?" Yuan Huan looked at Xun You's eldest nephew helplessly. After being arranged clearly, he felt that he was the eldest nephew.

Outside Zhuangzi, Lu Bu galloped his horse to the front, throwing Gao Shun and the others far away.

——Wearing a purple gold crown with three-prong hair on the head, wearing a Xichuan red cotton hundred-flower robe on the body, wearing a chain armor with animal face and swallowing head, wearing an exquisite lion belt with armor around the waist, carrying a bow and arrow with him, holding a painting halberd, and sitting on a red rabbit horse whistling in the wind , It really is "the red rabbit among the horses, Lu Bu among the people".

Xun Yu asked the coachman to stop, waited for the speeding horse to stop in front of him, got out of the car and walked out, and smiled at the heroic general who got off his horse, "I've seen Marquis Wen."

"Sir, you don't need to be too polite." Lu Bu patted the red rabbit's mane, looked at the handsome and gentle young man in front of him, and tried not to look so fierce, "Sir, is Xun Shi Wenruo?"

Although the identity of this person has been confirmed when he came, he still has to ask, the watchtower is far away from here, if this is a child from another aristocratic family who came to seek refuge, it would be a joke.

The smile on Xun Yu's face remained undiminished, "It's right here."

"I am Lu Fengxian, under the command of the prefect of Zhongshan, and I am here to welcome you and the Xun family members by the order of my lord." Lu Bu also introduced himself decently, invited him back to the carriage with a good voice, and then neatly mounted the horse to guard the carriage. beside.

What did he say, asking him to pick up someone was faster than Gao Fuyi.

Xun Yu:  …

The handsome young man lifted the curtain of the car and looked at the military general riding a tall horse beside him. He didn't understand why he was so complacent and just came out to pick them up. Why did he look like he had won a battle?

There were many refugees behind the convoy, all of whom followed them all the way from Yuzhou.

In fact, the number of people who first entered Jizhou was several times that of the present. The counties and counties in Jizhou were rich and prosperous, and many people stayed there with their families. Only these people did not want to stay in a hurry, so they followed them all the way.

They brought dozens of guards with them, enough to expel these desperate people, but the world is difficult, and the refugees are just looking for a way to survive. He really can't bear to watch the living people die in front of his eyes.

Xun Yu got into the carriage, and the convoy continued on. By the time Gao Shun and Lu Bu reunited, the carriage had already traveled a certain distance.

Lu Fengxian held his head high and his chest high, almost floating in the sky, "If you come a little later, we have already reached the gate."

Gao Shun gave him a blank look, and didn't look at the difference in their mounts. If all horses can run as fast as the Chitu, why is there only one Chitu in the world.

When he returned, he was not in a hurry like when he came here. No matter how fast the Chitu was, he had to follow the speed of the horses pulling the cart. Xun Yu sat in the cart and listened to the two people quarreling quietly outside, cheering up and getting ready to meet. Zhuangzi's master.

He doesn't know much about the Patriarch of Yuan's generation. The Yuan family in Runan has four generations and three princes, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. It is reasonable to say that the Patriarch is the most popular figure, but something unexpected happened in this generation.

The concubine Yuan Shao adopted to Yuan Cheng's first house, relying on his wealth, he became a man at a young age. After adopting, he first served his mother's funeral and then his father's funeral. For six years, he claimed to live in seclusion to refuse imperial conquest, but in fact he secretly made friends with party members and had relations with party leaders. Very close, with an excellent reputation inside and outside the capital.

The second son Yuan Shu rarely has a heroic reputation, he is not as keen on raising his name like Yuan Shao, and has gathered many supporters in the capital over the past few years.

The two younger brothers are like fish in water in the court, but the eldest brother who is the head of the family has always been mediocre. Although he has a good reputation, under the backdrop of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, those reputations also seem a little dull.

The status of the official to the Jiuqing is indeed high enough, but with Yuan Wei as an elder in the court, Yuan Shiji has no idea of ​​fighting for power. Even if his two younger brothers have military power in his hands, he still continues to be his indifferent Noble job.

If it hadn't been for Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital, he still thought that he was just a mediocre person whose limelight was stolen by his younger brother.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shiji usually does not show his mountains and dews, and he is the one who provokes the leader in the end.

The road outside Zhuangzi is extremely smooth, and you can’t feel any bumps when you walk on it. On both sides of the spacious and flat dirt road, there are neat good fields full of wheat seedlings. All the fields are surrounded by fences, and there are houses in the distance.

The main house was isolated by a high wall, and only the four corners of the watchtower could be seen. At this time, there were many servants waiting bustlingly at the door. Unexpectedly, the people inside knew that there were guests coming, and so many people came out to welcome them, which flattered him .

"Uncle." Xun You walked to the front of the car and heaved a sigh of relief seeing the long-lost clansman.

Xun Yu got out of the car and saw the intact elder nephew, the stone hanging from his heart fell, "How is Gongda?"

Dong Zhuo brutally murdered Xun You and the news of Xun You's imprisonment spread to the family. Everyone thought that he was the same as those ministers killed by Dong Zhuo before, and ended up with an incomplete body. Fortunately, he was still alive.

Outside is not a place to talk, the uncle and nephew only said a few words, and then they went to visit the owner of the room together.

The young man on the steps is wearing a cloak, brocade clothes and jade crown, with a handsome face, as elegant and noble as a curling autumn moon, with a smile on his face, like a fairy descending from the clouds.

Xun Yu's eyes lit up, he praised the gentleman like jade in his heart, and then stepped forward to salute, "Xun Yu in Yingchuan, I have met you."

Yuan Huan took a few steps forward to help him up, and said with a smile, "Xun Jiawenruo really lives up to his reputation."

His eyes are like cold stars, his face is like a bright moon. When he gets closer, there is a faint fragrance.

The two hit it off right away, and their impression of each other couldn't be better. Seeing that the two of them seemed to be having a long conversation outside the gate, Xun You covered his lips and coughed twice, and looked sideways at the comfortable and refreshing room inside, wondering if the two were Really don't go in.

"It was my negligence. The food and drink have been prepared in the room, and I just need to wash away the dust for Wen Ruo." Yuan Huan apologized with a smile, handed over the family members in the carriage to the management of the house, and then took the lead towards the big house in the main courtyard .

Xun Yu looked back at the terrified refugees, sighed slightly in his eyes, and followed calmly, "My lord, on the way from Yingchuan to Anguo, I met people who left their homes, the old and the weak, women and children begged for their lives, Is it possible for refugees to be resettled in the adult's house?"

"Wars continue and the people are displaced. Although the family has little wealth, it is still possible to resettle these people." Yuan Huan lowered his eyes and replied softly. Human life is worthless in troubled times, but someone has to do everything. He is not afraid of crowds , I'm afraid there are not enough people.

Xun You raised his head subconsciously when he heard the words "no family assets", thinking that only a small half of the account books had been sorted out so far, and wanted to know why this person could say the words "no family assets" without changing his face.

Anyone in the world can say that they have "no wealth", except for the one who just emptied Dong Thief's hoarding of money and food in Meiwu. Have family assets?

Yuan Huan noticed the gaze on him, and asked softly, "What's wrong with Gongda?"

As he said that, Xun Yu also looked over suspiciously.

Xun You: ...

"nothing."

Forget it, when my uncle sees the account books, he will understand that these days are exhausted, so let's take a rest after the banquet.

There are not many available people around the lord, if the uncle is willing to stay, there is still work to do next.

The first thing to do is the "poor family wealth" that the lord said.

In the houses on the outskirts of Zhuangzi, the refugees in ragged clothes were sitting together, staring nervously at the cauldron not far away, their throats constantly making swallowing movements.

They were short of food during the fleeing days, and they followed the convoy, and the gentleman in the car gave them some food from time to time, so that they could survive until now. Even so, they hadn't been able to eat hot porridge for a long time.

People can make anything for a bite. At the beginning, the man was kind enough to distribute the food. It’s not that no one was wrong. Later, the refugees and the guards of the convoy fought, and several of the guards of the convoy were seriously injured. Don't let them get too close to the convoy.

Later, most of the young and middle-aged people who accompanied them went to other places. The gentleman saw them, the old, the weak, women and children struggling to death, so he gave food with mercy, but he still refused to let them approach the convoy.

Most of the carriages were female relatives. The refugees rushed up to grab the food and scared many people. It is normal for the Lord not to let them approach.

The servants in Zhuangzi prepared the porridge and asked them to line up to fetch it, surrounded by a dozen burly guards watching intently, the refugees finally had hot porridge to eat, no one wanted to be kicked out at this time, no matter how hungry they were, they were honest Really line up to get porridge.

The porridge cooked in the cauldron didn't have much rice, and the taste was definitely not good, but for the starving refugees, it was already a supreme delicacy.

In the corner, the skinny child drank the porridge in the bowl and licked it clean before leaning against the wall, "Ma'am, can we stay here?"

The sun had already set, and the porridge fire was flickering in the darkness. Next to the child, the sallow-faced and thin woman didn't answer, but handed him the remaining mouthfuls of gruel in her bowl and urged him to finish it quickly.

Most of them are old, weak, women and children. Young men are either conscripted into soldiers, turned into bandits, or killed by bandits. Only these useless people are left. Who wants to support useless people?

The woman huddled in the corner with a numb expression, not knowing what kind of ordeal would be waiting for them tomorrow.

It was cool at night, and the house was much warmer than the wilderness. The bonfire at the door was quickly extinguished, and the people in the house could not freeze even if they were crowded together.

A peaceful night.

For the refugees who have been fleeing for a long time, it is incredible to sleep until dawn. They have to worry about whether they can see the sun the next day, whether they can find food the next day, and worry about what will happen to them the next day. I won't meet bandits... I'm even worried that I'll be snatched away by wolves when I fall asleep at night.

Early the next morning, the steward came over with his servants, and saw the yellow and skinny refugees crowded in the house, men and women took them down separately to freshen up.

The harvest in their house has been good in the past few years, and the owner brought a lot of rice this time. It is not a problem to raise dozens more mouths. Those who can leave their hometowns can endure hardship. I have strength again.

There are various workshops in Zhuangzi. If you know some crafts, that's great. If you don't, you can send them to the workshops to learn. In their place, as long as you are willing to work, you will definitely not be hungry.

Standing on the ridge of the field, Zhao Yun frowned as he watched the sallow and emaciated adults and children.

"Have you never seen a refugee?" Zhang Liao had a straw in his mouth, and raised his eyebrows seeing his reaction, "That's right, Jizhou was affected for a while when the Yellow Turban Army first broke out, and it has been very stable since then. Didn't you It's normal to see."

The young man has never seen strong winds and waves, unlike when he was struggling among the barbarians since he was a child, he has seen more tragic scenes than this, so where is this?

Zhao Yun glanced at him and walked forward without saying a word. Zhang Liao didn't care whether he spoke or not. Anyway, he was quite happy when he said, "Today there is Gao Fuyi at the recruiter's place. Do you want to go and see him? Don't look at him." He looks honest, but he is actually very good at leading troops."

"How is it better than you?" Zhao Yun curled his lips, and without waiting for him to answer, he continued to himself after asking, "Since you said that General Fu Yi is better at leading troops, he must be better than you."

"You have never seen either of us lead soldiers, so why do you say he is better than me?" Zhang Liao raised his brows, he only said that Gao Fuyi was better than himself, and the two of them had never fought before. ?

Zhao Yun didn't bother to quarrel with him. After a few days, he had figured out this person's temperament. It was just that he hadn't been in the house for three days.

They have just arrived here, and the lord is not very familiar with the chores in the house, and they are not very familiar with the surrounding environment. These days, apart from selecting tribal guards from the tenants, they go out to check the terrain. Nu County is not too far away, and it is convenient to do everything, but there is one bad thing, there are too many bandits.

On the way Lu Bu and Zhang Liao came, a wave of bandits had already been cleared. When I checked again a few days later, the bandits' village had been taken again.

The banditry under the rule is not good for the people. There are no battles on the left and right now, and the soldiers are idle. It is better to go out to suppress the bandits, which just saves training.

Zhang Liao is thinking about asking for orders to go out to fight bandits in two days. The more than 1000 recruits under him have basically never fought in battle. Daily training alone is not enough. The real skills are all killed with blood on the battlefield. How could Duo poke bloody.

Before he could persuade Zhao Yun to pester Lu Bu so that he would not have a chance to speak when he asked for his order next time, a guard came to the main courtyard and said that the Patriarch called them over.

Zhao Yun pushed away Zhang Wenyuan, who was eager to fight, straightened his face and quickened his pace. He was crazy to stop General Fengxian when he was speaking. If nothing else, could the two of them beat Lu Fengxian together?

In the main courtyard, Yuan Huanda was called up in the morning. After realizing what Xun You said, he blinked his eyes, and then he was dazed for a while before fully waking up. "Gongda is saying that Gongsun Bogui and Yuan Benchu ​​fell out?"

Xun You nodded, "Exactly. Now Gongsun Zan has sent troops to station in Panhe, and may attack Jizhou at any time."

When Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, he had agreed with Gongsun Zan that they would attack Jizhou equally. After the event was completed, Jizhou would be divided equally. Now Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou but did not want to fulfill his promise. Gongsun Zan sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to send a letter to Yuan Shao to discuss the matter of dividing Jizhou equally. Yuan Shao agreed on the surface. When Gongsun Yue left Jizhou, he immediately sent someone to lie that Ma Teng's subordinates shot Gongsun Yue to death with random arrows.

Gongsun Zan was furious when he heard the news, and sent troops in the name of revenge for his younger brother. He set up troops in Panhe with banners and banners, and a great war was imminent.

Yuan Huan squeezed the space between his eyebrows, thinking about where Panhe was, and asked people to call Lu Bu and the others over.

Panhe was some distance away from them, but they had to take precautions before they happened. If they didn't start preparing now, it would be too late to take precautions when Gongsun Zan came over.

Regardless of whether Gongsun Yue fought for Yuzhou for Yuan Shu or for Jizhou for Gongsun Zan, there is no doubt that he died in Yuan Shao's hands. Now that the battle in Yuzhou has not stopped, and there are enemies coming to the north of Jizhou, Yuan Benchu ​​was attacked on both sides, so he probably has to withdraw his troops and return to defense.

I don't know how Yuan Shao will react when he sees his dead brother come back to the world.

"My lord, Gongsun Bogui is restrained by Liu Bo'an, and Yuan Benchu ​​has a strong army. If this battle is fought, Gongsun Bogui has little chance of winning." Xun You took out a map with simple drawings of rivers, mountains, rivers and cities, which can be called crude. But it is very rare in this era, "With our current soldiers and horses, it is not appropriate to get involved in the dispute between these two."

"Let's see how Yuan Shao responds." Yuan Huan gathered his outer robe, and didn't say to blend in, nor did he say not to blend in.

He remembered that Gongsun Zan had an army called Baima Yicong. When he first met Zhao Yun, the righteous followers Zhao Yun brought were all white robes and white horses, and they were dressed according to the appearance of Baima Yicong.

He still remembered that Yuan Shao had a general named Qu Yi, who wiped out [-] white horse followers with [-] dead men.

If this fights, it will be lively.

In a few words, Lu Bu, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Zhao Yun all came to the hall outside. Xun You told the story of Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao's quarrel, sipped warm water, and observed the reactions of several people without any trace.

Gao Shun and Zhao Yun, the two steady and reliable people, just stood there with a straight face, listening carefully to see if they would be used in the future.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's eyes lit up when they heard that there was going to be a battle. Although they were not the ones who were going to fight, they had a chance to fight as long as they got a little bit of a side.

The four people reacted in two ways, with sharp contrasts.

Xun You pursed his lips, making sure that Lu Bu and Zhang Liao could not lead troops out together, otherwise no one would know what might happen.

Zhang Liao didn't know what Xun You was thinking about. He remembered that Zhao Yun was going to join Gongsun Zan before. Seeing their lord talking to Xun Gongda in a low voice, he poked Zhao Zilong with his shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Gongsun Zan is going to fight Jizhou, Zilong, what do you think? "

Zhao Yun looked serious, "I don't care too much, everything is arranged by the Lord."
