Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2250 The so-called Reciprocity

  Zhao Yun was a little confused.

  Because he discovered that the situation in the northern part of Youzhou became more and more chaotic.

  Ding Lingren?

   Didn't Ding Lingren shrink back? Why did it pop up again all of a sudden? And some ran here?

  Although it is said that in the desert, some fixed water sources are lifelines, but it does not mean that all water sources must be filled with people. After all, even if there are clouds in an area as large as northern Xinjiang, it may not always rain.

  So Zhao Yun stayed in this piece of grass, which was an area outside the map of the big man. Except for the atlas that was kept by General Hussars, no one knew what this place was called or what the boundary was.

  However, a small number of people bumped into it...

  Although there is still some distance, if it is drawn on the map, it will almost be on Zhao Yun's face.

  Things like this made Zhao Yun somewhat weird.

  Ding Lingren is ready to pick up a bargain?

  But it’s a bit early to go out now?

   So it's fire detection?

  Zhao Yun frowned.

   This possibility cannot be ruled out.

  Zhao Yun's current troop arrangement generally looks like a big "Y". The southernmost is the Changshan Daying-based logistics base, which is dominated by infantry and a small amount of cavalry. It is mainly responsible for defense and not for offense.

   Zhao Yun's main formation is in the middle, and the branches extending to the north and east are Zhang He and Gan Feng.

  In the desert, all sides are vast and boundless. Only the Changshan camp in the south is taking advantage of the mountain. The remaining three local troops are mainly cavalry, and there is no special geographical advantage.

  Changshan Daying is stuck between the two mountains. It is the main passage from Youzhou to Taiyuan Shangdang and the east of Yinshan Mountain. If Changshan Daying is attacked, as long as the information lines along the way are unobstructed, Zhao Yun will receive the information in about half a day, and then immediately bite the other party's **** and block him between the mountain and Daying, forming a situation of catching a turtle in a urn , while Gan and Zhang in the north and west are returning to make up for their positions, supporting the rear flanks...

  The strategy in the desert is even simpler. If the three outer parts are attacked, the other two parts will turn around and attack the opponent's flank...

  So on the whole, Zhao Yun's arrangement is both offensive and defensive, so there is no problem.

   But the problem now is that Zhao Yun originally wanted to attract a bear, but a deer jumped in cutely, so should he fight or not?

   It is not a big problem to deal with these intruders, but the problem is that it may expose the overall combat deployment and arouse the vigilance of other parties, which means that Zhao Yun's original strategy needs to be readjusted...

If they don't fight, Zhao Yun and others will deliberately get out of the way of this group of dinglings, and the entire strategic layout will also be affected, and these dinglings are only the vanguard. It will become more loose, and some areas will not be covered...

  All of these require Zhao Yun to make judgments, and every decision Zhao Yun makes will affect the future direction of the battle.

Just when Zhao Yun was about to make a decision to be conservative and to clean up the intruding deer, the news of the latest scouts came. The group of Dingling people did not come directly to Zhao Yun's main formation, but in the previous one. The source of water turned to the northwest...

  『Turning to the northwest? 』

  Ding Lingren What do you want to do?

  Zhao Yun quickly walked to the map, looked at the signs on the map, and suddenly had an idea...

  …(●￣()￣●)…

   Early morning.

  The sky in the desert is always very blue, and then the grass is very green.

  The large and small puddles are like mirrors, reflecting the sky and white clouds, and then some grasshoppers jumped over the water surface, forming circles of thin water waves...

   Gradually, some people woke up from their sleep. Most of the first ones to wake up were women. They were responsible for cooking the first meal of the day.

   Then with more and more voices, the men also started to act, some began to look after the livestock, and some people checked their hunting tools...

  Children are the most carefree, they start fighting almost as soon as they open their eyes. The older children lead the younger children, and then they can laugh and play around the tent, and then run around with the dogs rattling, releasing vitality and hope.

  The old people are sitting at the curtain of the tent, squinting their eyes, and reminding them from time to time, and then grinning with their mouths missing one or more.

  When the cooking smoke rises high and forms a column of smoke in the air, it is like a sign and a bait, attracting something slowly approaching...

  An old man who was leaning on the tent doorpost seemed to have noticed something, suddenly jumped forward, turned his head and put his ear directly on the ground!

  The child next to him didn't seem to notice anything, even with a smile, he followed the old man's appearance, and threw himself on the ground, then turned his head sideways, opened his cute big eyes, and looked at the old man. In the past, whenever the child imitated the old man's actions like now, he would always get the old man's smile and praise, but this time, the child saw an expression on the old man's face that he had never seen before...

  The old man raised his head from the ground and let out a shrill roar!

  The men and women in the tribe froze for a moment, and then they burst into chaos!

  The half-cooked pot was dumped, and the splashed soup made the bonfire creak, and the originally gray smoke suddenly turned black...

  The man whistled, and ran out from the tent, from the fence, and from various places, holding long and short weapons in his hands.

  The women were yelling, holding tongs in their hands, or a short knife for cutting meat, and the other hand was still embracing the child...

  The horses in the fence were released, but some people who got on the horses rode out and were driven back after a short while...

  On the grassy **** not far away, a banner with stars and moons appeared, with a black background and a red moon. It's like blood is stained on the flag.

  The old man who was the first to issue the warning shouted something, and then gradually the people in the tribe fell silent, watching the approaching Dingling cavalry.

  The child instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and opened his mouth to cry a few times before being covered by his mother's slap.

  The man tightly clenched the weapon in his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand popped out.

  The horseshoe stopped.

  The war horse snorted loudly.

  The old man who was the first to warn took a few steps forward, reached the open space between the two sides, and then prostrated himself on the ground.

...

  However, Ding Lingtou didn't even have the patience to deal with it a little bit. With a loud shout, he drove his horse forward, and then his sword slashed down from the air!

  The old head gushed blood and rolled in the air. The old man tried hard to take another look at his family, but he could only see the sky that seemed to be stained with blood...

  Screaming cries resounded among the chaotic horseshoes, the original emerald green pasture was immediately dyed red, the white cooking smoke turned into a black column of smoke, chaos and blood began to spread...

  Ding Lingtou smeared blood on his face, then raised his sword and howled. The other Dingling people also smeared blood on their bodies and faces, and then laughed and shouted excitedly, like a bloodthirsty beast biting its prey.

  …(`dish)…

  Yuyang.

   "Meet General Gongsun..." A man with the appearance of a scribe bowed his hands in salute.

  Gongsun Du smiled, showing six teeth, "Oh, I have been busy with military affairs for the past few days, and I have neglected Mr. Genju!" I'm sorry, I'm sorry! 』

  The rank of civil servants is Bing Yuan and Bing Genju.

  Bing Yuan also smiled and said, "I'm just an unknown junior, I'm very grateful for being so cared for by the general!" 』

  Gongsun Du laughed and said, "Mr. Genju is well-known all over the world, how can you be negligent?" It's just that Mr. Genju has gone back to his hometown. I don't know why Mr. Genju wants to return to Liaodong today? 』

  Bing Yuan sighed, looking somewhat lonely, and didn't answer for a while.

  Gongsun Kang frowned, and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Gongsun Du, "Mr. Genju, what's the secret? 』

"Don't hide it from the general..." Bing Yuan cupped his hands and shook his head and said, "When I was in Liaodong, as I got older, this homesickness was like a surging tide, endless, and I couldn't help myself...So I bid farewell to the general. Hey, go back to my hometown...but...ah...」

  Bing Yuan sighed again, then squeezed his beard, and groaned, "I'm going to Dongshan, I'm not going back." I come from the east, and there is no rain. I say home from the east, and my heart is sad from the west. Make other clothes, don't do it for scholars. The scorpion is the scorpion, steaming in the mulberry field. Dunbi is staying alone, and he is also under the car...」

  『I am going to Dongshan, and I will not return. I come from the east, and there is no rain. The naked fruit is also applied to Yu. Yiwei is in the room, and weed is in the house. The deer farm in the town is shining brightly at night. Not to be feared, Yi Kehuai... Alas..." Bing Yuan's face was sad, and some tears flashed from the corners of his eyes, "After returning home, things are nothing, and people go..."

  Gongsun Du was also silent. After a long time, he arched his hands and said, "My condolences, sir..."

  Gongsun Du is not from Liaodong either, so he naturally has a lot of feelings about what Bing Yuan said. In comparison, Gongsun Kang, who was born in Liaodong, didn't have so many thoughts. He even felt that Bing Yuan was a little hypocritical, so he asked bluntly, "I heard that Mr. Cao Mengde voted?" Can this matter? 』

   Bing Yuan was taken aback, "How can you say that? 』

  Gongsun Kang said with a sneer: "Mr. Wen and Beihai had a good chat and laugh, let's toast and celebrate..."

  Bing Yuan raised his head and laughed, "Beihai invites you, how can you refuse an invitation from ordinary people of a certain class?" Laughter at a banquet is a sign of etiquette. Just imagine, if a major general invites others to a banquet, and the result is that the other person looks sad, sighs, and cries endlessly, will the banquet still be held? 』

  『Uh…』Gongsun Kang blinked, not knowing how to respond.

  Gongsun Du raised his eyebrows, "So, Mr. Cao didn't choose Cao?" But why? I heard that Cao Mengde is well-governed and has won the hearts of the people...』

  『Aha! Bing Yuan sneered twice, "If it is said that Cao Mengde seized the land and oppressed the good, I would believe it. The general said, "Good governance, quite popular with the people", but I don't know how to say it? 』

"Oh? ”Gongsun Du said, “Someone heard a few words in Yuyang...could it be...the truth is not the case? 』

  Bing Yuan stroked his beard and said: "Cao's exclusive power, holding the emperor hostage, the fish and meat place... Hey!" In the countryside, there are so many people who dare not speak out! By the way, I don't know if the general can be the only one who has heard of it, you Heng You Zhengping? 』

  Gongsun Du frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"This man is very talented..." Bing Yuan said, "However, he was born in a poor family. Although he has talents and learning, he can't use them. And in Yecheng, when he encountered injustice, he would be angry and scold him, beating drums to cry out for grievances... As he said, Hahaha, his words are very sharp, haha, sorry, sorry, let me elaborate...』

Bing Yuan was talking about Mi Heng slowly. When it came to Mi Heng blatantly scolding Cao Cao for his incompetence in the long street, Gongsun Du obviously stretched his neck and seemed very interested. When it was said that Mi Heng scolded Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Guo Jia and others together, he clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and repeatedly praised them.

  『Where are these wonderful people now? 』Gongsun Du obviously wanted to recruit Mi Heng.

   Bing Yuan shook his head and sighed, "I've already sent it to Chang'an!" Cao's hypocrisy, he wants to kill you Zhengping by other people's hands... Such a person, I am ashamed to be with my colleagues..."

   Gongsun Du looked back at Gongsun Kang.

  Gongsun Kang was a little dazed.

  Gongsun Du moved his eyeballs left and right, and then gave Gongsun Kang a wink. Gongsun Kang came to him, stepped forward and said, "Since my husband doesn't want to serve Cao, it's better to vote for a certain father!" 』

"Hey! ’Gongsun Du sang the double reed, ‘Mr. is a talent from all over the world, how can you condescend to be in the corner of Liaodong? Kanger must not be rude! 』

  『The general has a great reputation... I see the Central Plains are busy, fighting for power and profit, slaughtering the countryside, disregarding the generation of the great man and the common people...It hurts my heart! Now... for a while, I really have no intention of going into politics...but the general is so loving..." Bing Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Hey, I wanted to return to Liaodong this time, but I wanted to meet friends... How about this, if brother Guan is willing to go out, I will also Just as a companion! 』

  Brother Guan that Bing Yuan said was Guan Ning.

   Guan Ning is still in Liaodong. In history, Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan and pacified Liaodong before Guan Ning returned to the Central Plains and joined Cao Cao.

   Gongsun Kang frowned, and was about to say something, but was stopped by Gongsun Du, "That's fine! Since Mr. said this, a certain "Yilong" will come out together! 』

  "One Dragon" is Guan Ning, Hua Xin, and Bing Yuan. They are called "One Dragon". The head of the dragon is naturally Guan Ning, Hua Xin is the body of the dragon, and the tail of the dragon is Bing Yuan. And when Bing Yuan said that he wanted to follow the leader Guan Ning, it was also intended and flattering.

  Gongsun Du replied like this, so he naturally understood the meaning of Bing Yuan's words...

  『More magnanimous generals! ’ Bing Yuan cupped his hands, then said a few other gossips, then took his leave and left.

  Gongsun Du watched Bing Yuan go away, then asked Gongsun Kang, "What do you think about this matter?" 』

  『This person is mostly prevarication...』Gongsun Kang snorted twice, 『Who cares......』

  『I didn’t ask you this! ’Gongsundu interrupted Gongsun Kang, ‘If a certain Gongsun family succeeds, naturally the world’s heroes will vote for it! I'm asking about the front! The situation in front of me! 』

"Uh? In front of me? ”Gongsun Kang was stunned for a moment, “Father, what does your lord mean, is Cao thief false or true? 』

   Gongsun Du nodded, "Exactly. 』

   Paused for a while, Gongsundu stroked his beard slowly, "Before Cao Bandit sent General Yuyang to seek peace, I was so suspicious... Now it seems... Haha, Cao Bandit really can't take care of himself..."

   Gongsun Kang thought for a while and said: "If this person is lying..."

  Gongsun Du said: "This matter is easy...Since you Zhengping's matter is raging, naturally everyone in Jizhou knows it. If you send people to investigate for a while, you will know the outcome..."

  Gongsun Kang nodded, "What Father said is very true. If Cao thief is unable to counterattack, then the peace negotiation...is it true? 』

  Gongsun Du nodded slowly, "In this way... Yuyang will be solid..."

   While talking, Gongsun Du suddenly felt a little pity.

  Before, in order to conquer Yuyang, he made a decision to slaughter for three days. Now think about it, if he knew that Cao Cao was too busy to take care of himself, why bother to worry about it a day earlier or a day later?

Hey.

   But, since we can temporarily negotiate peace with Cao Cao, it means that another matter can be dealt with first...

  『Come on! ’ Gongsun Du ordered, ‘Send Xianbei two more carts of food and grass, and three carts of clothes and cloth! 』

  『Follow the order! The soldiers took orders and left.

  Gongsun Kang was very puzzled, "Father, what are you...Since Cao Jun is unable to fight back, why should we be friendly to Xianbei?" Xianbei people are like vicious wolves;

  Gongsun Du glanced at Gongsun Kang, "Oh, you know?" 』

  Gongsun Kang asked, "Then Father means..."

Gongsundu put his hands behind his back, looked up, and sighed slowly after a while, "Liaodong is in a corner, with mountains, deep forests, seas and deserts, like a prison, which makes it impossible to move your hands and feet... The land of Yuyang is The only way out of Liaodong... Therefore, although a certain person knows that this place is dangerous and enemies are everywhere, he has no choice but to enter and take it! 』

  Gongsun Kang nodded silently.

  Liaodong under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Du naturally did not have anything to keep out the cold like General Hussars. In the past few years, the weather has become increasingly cold, and life in Liaodong is not easy. Just like the nomads in the desert grassland would subconsciously choose to go south under the influence of hunger and cold, Liaodong wanted a way out, of course, the only way to go was to break through Yuyang and occupy Youbei.

  『Yuyang is established now, and it will be fixed...』Gongsun Du said slowly, 『If Cao Thief is really unable to go north, it will be a golden opportunity for you and me! A certain former alliance, who was close to Xianbei, drove away wolves and tigers... But now, the tiger's injury has receded, this wolf has become a vicious tiger instead...』

   Gongsun Kang said: "Then... that is..." Gongsun Kang gestured with his hand.

  Gongsun Du glanced at it, was noncommittal, paused and said: "Look again... If a certain kindness cannot be reciprocated... then you can't complain..."

  『Oh…』Gongsun Kang nodded, 『Understood, this is what Father means to send food and grass again! 』

  Gongsun Du nodded and smiled, showing six teeth, "As the saying goes, courtesy is reciprocal..."

  The plan is always subject to change...
