Chapter 168
On February 18th, early in the morning, the sun was rising and the sky was full of red clouds.
In the military camp, soldiers' shouts of morning exercises echoed. The soldiers were wearing armor and holding weapons, and they were already in full swing.
Cao Cao and Wang Yan walked forward together to inspect the soldiers in the military camp.
While walking, Cao Cao said, "Last night, I received a message from the ward. Yuan Shu led 20,000 troops and was on the way to arrive. It is expected that he will arrive this morning. At the beginning, you and Yuan Shu had some entanglements. With Yuan Shu's petty personality, he might have cold words when he saw you, so please take responsibility for it and don't be as knowledgeable as Yuan Shu."
Wang Yan looked serious and said slowly: "Brother Meng De, I will not offend others if I don't offend me. My principle is very simple. As long as Yuan Shu doesn't come to provoke me, I will never take the initiative to cause trouble. You can't let me retreat when you see Yuan Shu."
Cao Cao nodded and said, "My brother is right."
Cao Cao knew very well about Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu never did not play according to common sense when doing things, especially Yuan Shu was arrogant and arrogant, which was even more unpredictable.
What Cao Cao could do was to reconcile the contradiction between Wang Yan and Yuan Shu as much as possible.
This time, Cao Cao did not want the attack on Dong Zhuo to start, but internal strife began.
It was almost noon, six miles southeast of the campsite.
On the official road in the distance, wriggling black lines appeared. As time passed, the distance gradually narrowed, and a rumbling sound came from the ground.
"Dada"
The sound of horse hooves resounded through the earth and penetrated through the sky.
The earth-shaking scene actually made the ground tremble.
After a while, the team became clear. What appeared was a huge and mighty team, led by a team of cavalry, each of which was like a wolf or a tiger, with an elite force.
Behind the cavalry, following the brigade of infantry, was rushing to the road quickly.
This army is 20,000 elite troops under Yuan Shu.
Between the cavalry and infantry, Yuan Shu was wearing armor and hanging his sword on his waist, and was rushing on his horse.
At this time, Yuan Shu was full of energy and extremely proud. In the past, whenever he took out a person in Luoyang City, he was more important than Yuan Shu's official position and stronger than Yuan Shu's background. Even if Yuan Shu was born in the Yuan family of four generations and three generations, it was difficult to compete with the powerful people in Luoyang.
After leaving Luoyang, he arrived in Nanyang County. Relying on the reputation of the Yuan family, he quickly formed an army. Then, he used Sun Jian's hand to kill Zhang Zi, the former prefect of Nanyang, and completely occupied Nanyang. Taking over Nanyang, Yuan Shu recruited soldiers and recruited talents, and was very powerful for a while.
"drive"
Yuan Shu slapped his horse and rode his horse to the road.
His heart had already flown to Hulao Pass, thinking about the situation of a alliance with all the princes. In this alliance, Yuan Shu made up his mind to make a name for himself, to lead the heroes, and to establish fame.
"Dada"
The horse's hooves pedaled, and Yuan Shu moved forward quickly.
Suddenly, Yuan Shu swept to the edge of the road and stood a handsome young man.
"Wait"
Yuan Shu held the reins of the horse and stopped. He looked at it carefully, and an indescribable look appeared in his eyes.
The soldiers who rushed to the road stopped seeing Yuan Shu and consciously advanced to avoid bumping into Yuan Shu.
As a general beside Yuan Shu, Ji Ling found that Yuan Shu had stopped and immediately rode his horse to Yuan Shu, clasped his fists and said, "General, why did he stop suddenly?
Yuan Shu stared at the handsome young man on the roadside with his eyes fixed on the roadside and asked, "Ji Ling, look at the boy on the roadside."
Ji Ling's eyes turned and fell on the handsome young man.
In an instant, Ji Ling's pupils shrank, and he felt extremely surprised in his eyes.
The young man on the roadside had fair skin, and his handsome cheeks seemed to be white jade. Under the sunlight, his delicate skin shone brightly, making people unable to help but caress him. His eyes were gentle, without any masculinity, but as soft and gentle as a woman's eyes, revealing deep affection.
His hands hanging in front of him were slender and slender, like the tenderness of a lady from a noble family. Then he looked at him wearing a white robe with a jade belt wrapped around his waist, outlining his slender waist.
Such a man is so handsome that he is always inferior to his woman.
Ji Ling couldn't help but shivered when he saw Yuan Shu's expression. He immediately understood Yuan Shu's intention. As a person from a wealthy and noble family, it is natural to have special preferences.
Ji Ling didn't like this kind of habit, but as a subordinate of Yuan Shu, he had to share his worries for the master and immediately said, "General, I will take him with me immediately and let him be your personal guard."
When Yuan Shu heard this, his face was filled with joy. He reached out and patted Ji Ling on the shoulder and praised: "Those who know me are Ji Ling."
After saying that, Yuan Shucze immediately stepped forward and continued to advance with the army.
In front of countless soldiers, he would not show up to deal with things, just leave it to Ji Ling for handling.
Ji Ling turned his horse's head and rode his horse up the side of the road. When he came to the young man, Ji Ling looked at the young man with a high apology, and was even more amazed in his heart. He calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Boy, my general saw that you are good-looking and planned to recruit you into the army. Now, follow me."
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I won't go."
The soft voice showed a weak temperament. Especially the hint of horror and worry appeared on the cheeks. Even Ji Ling felt a little unbearable when he saw it.
When Ji Ling thought of the man in front of him, he twitched slightly and quickly put away the thoughts in his mind.
Ji Ling said in a deep voice with anger, "Boy, don't eat the punishment for toasting, you will be the one who will suffer. Let me tell you the truth, my general is the latter general Yuan Shu, and he is also the chief official in charge of Nanyang County. Now, the general leads his army to Hulaoguan Alliance and will attack Dong Zhuo. Once the attack on Dong Zhuo is successful, the general will definitely be famous in history. It is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life. Let's go, you are such a big man, no wonder the general falls in love with you."
After saying this, the young man was even more shocked.
"No, I won't go."
The young man looked around and saw that there were Yuan Shu soldiers around him, and he was even more desperate.
Ji Ling was impatient, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand and exerted a little force.
"Sharp"
A crisp sound rang out, Ji Ling drew his sword out of the sheath, aiming the tip of the sword at the young man's face, and said in a deep voice: "Boy, if you are disobedient, don't blame me for being merciless under the sword. The general's fondness for you is a blessing you have cultivated in your previous life. Don't be too slow. Let's go, otherwise there will be no one under the sword."
The young man frowned, and he looked more like a little woman who was wronged, extremely delicate.
In the end, the young man had to nod and agreed.
Ji Ling showed a smile on his rough cheeks. After completing the task, he took the young man to the road. After catching up with Yuan Shu, Ji Ling followed Yuan Shu to Cao Cao's camp.
