In the autumn and July of the sixth year of Yanxing, when the imperial court was planning the expedition to Hebei, Jizhou Mu called himself Hussar General Yuan Shao, claiming that Gongsun Du, the prefect of Liaodong, had proclaimed himself king and disobeyed his subordinates. He assembled heavy troops in Yuyang County to prepare for the expedition, and issued an edict. The troops from You and Ji Prefectures gathered together at Wujing.

Knowing that the imperial court had plans for Hebei, moving troops to Liaodong first did not seem to be a good choice, but Yuan Shao had his own considerations.

First of all, although Gongsun Du of Liaodong paid lip service to his vassalship, he was not sincere in reality and was very likely to waver between him and the court. If Duan Xuan contacted him and crossed Yanshan when he was defending against enemies in Henan, he might fall into the dilemma of being attacked from both sides. Therefore, during his trip to show off his power in Liaodong, he must not dare to act rashly.

Secondly, after learning that Liangzhou had surrendered, the three armies in Hebei were in a panic. Many people thought that it would be difficult for the imperial court to win. Therefore, Yuan Shao planned to train his army first in the name of conquering the east, both to boost morale and to observe which generals had second thoughts.

Finally, he wanted to use a large army to frighten Xianbei and Wuhuan, strengthen their confidence in Yuan's army's victory, and invite them to send troops south to defend the enemy without shirk.

Sure enough, before the tribes in Hebei gathered together, as soon as Kebineng and Tadun learned the news, they led the kings of the tribes to come south to gather. Yuan Shao was extremely happy, so he sent his troops to hunt in the wilderness of Hunu, under Qinglong Gorge (under today's Miyun Reservoir).

One day, Yuan Shao, Ke Bineng, and Tadun led their relatives and generals into Shewei to hunt.

This shooting range is very large, and countless infantry and cavalry soldiers are used. Under the supervision of the state's own soldiers and knights, whenever a beast escapes from a certain place, the general on duty at that place will be killed. After everyone entered the shooting circle, he saw deer and wild horses in the distance, so he ordered his people to choose a flat and open place, set fire to wait, and then he got on his horse and shot them. As a result, he shot more than ten wild horses and deer with his own hands. He roasted his prey and rewarded his soldiers. This happened again and again, gradually moving forward into a jungle.

Suddenly, a tiger jumped out from the depths of the jungle, and the horses in front of them all retreated in fear. The generals behind took their bows and arrows and were about to shoot. Unexpectedly, a hunting arrow had already galloped out, hit the tiger's shoulder blade, cut into the bone, and blood suddenly poured out.

Yuan Shao saw the archer standing next to Ke Bineng, the Shanyu of Xianbei. However, the man wore a military crown, had his hair pulled back at the right side, and wore Han clothes. He was quite conspicuous among the Xianbei people, so he asked Ke Bineng: "Is this the case?" Who can shoot so fast?"

Kebineng spoke very well in Chinese and answered by himself without the need for translation: "He is Mohuba of the Buyao tribe in the east. He is already famous for his fast archery." In Xianbei, the pronunciation of "Buyao" is the same as "Buyao" in Chinese. Murong", so Yuan Shao asked again: "My surname is Murong? How strange!"

Mo Huba bowed his hands on his horse and said: "The small tribe has been a king for a long time and admired the style of the Yan Dynasty, so they gathered their hair and wore crowns. The tribes called my tribe Bu Yao, which means 'Guan Bu Yao'." He said. He also answered in Chinese. Compared with Ke Neng, he must have chosen words more fluently.

Yuan Shao was very moved after hearing this, and chatted with Mo Huba for a few words about the classics. Unexpectedly, he answered fluently, which made him sigh to his followers: "Unexpectedly, there are such good men among Xianbei." He said to Mo Huba again. "But I think the surname Murong is better. The so-called way of admiring the two rituals (heaven and earth) follows the appearance of the three lights (sun, moon, and stars). Why don't you just change your surname to Murong!" Mo Huba was happy when he heard this, After dismounting and thanking Yuan Shao, he officially changed his surname to Murong.

At this time, Yuan Shao turned to his men and smiled: "This tiger is injured. Is there anyone among you who dares to capture it?"

He was originally looking at Yan Liang, Zhang He and other warriors, but unexpectedly the first person he spoke to was Tian Feng. He said: "Tian Feng is willing to go, but my mount is not armored, so I probably don't dare to get close. I need two people to be my helpers." After saying that, he and his two subordinates got off the horse and approached from both sides with long swords. tiger.

"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"

Although the tiger was seriously injured, its strength was still there. He lay on the ground, raised his forelimbs, and roared at the people approaching. The sound was so ferocious that even the knight's mount far behind was so frightened that it fell to the ground and fell silent.

As if nothing had happened, Tian Feng moved forward with his tip, stepping on the warm and solid ground, directing his subordinates to approach the tiger little by little from both directions. The tiger roared at Tian Feng for a while, and roared at the knight for a while. It seemed at a loss and didn't know which person to pounce on.

So Tian Feng approached the tiger from the right. The tiger was so angry that he pounced with his claws and caught the tip of the snake. While it was distracted, two riders suddenly ran toward the tiger from the left. The tiger was startled, and as soon as he turned around, he was stabbed into his mouth by a stick, and another man stabbed the stick into his neck.

Seizing the opportunity for the tiger to suffer pain, Tian Feng took out his long thorn, like a bird pouncing on food, he flew onto the tiger's back and stabbed the tiger's belly diagonally with the tip of the thorn. The tiger was in pain and struggled hard, while the other two people struggled to hold down the tiger's head, and used their other hands to pry the thorn upwards. The three wounds were bleeding profusely, and the condition was very scary. Finally, Tian Feng freed up his right hand, reached into the tiger's mouth, pulled out the big blood-red tongue, and cut it off with a knife.

You must know that the tiger's tongue has barbs that can brush off the skin and flesh. But Tian Feng was not afraid and took the bloody tongue in his hand to show off to everyone.

Seeing this situation, all the knights watching were dumbfounded. Ke Bineng, Tadun and others were so convinced that they couldn't help but use their riding whips to tap the saddle repeatedly and applaud. Kebineng sighed to Yuan Shao: "Seeing that this man was of ordinary stature and elegant in conversation, I thought he was the counselor of the emperor, but unexpectedly he turned out to be Qieyu!" Qiebineng was a ferocious beast in Xianbei language, which shows Kebineng's surprise.

And all the generals in Hebei also said: "Tian Biejia looks elegant on the outside, but he is brave on the inside. I'm afraid he is not as good as Guan Laohu in Henan." Yuan Shaohun unexpectedly let Tian Feng get such limelight, although it boosted his morale. , also amazed Hu Ren, but he was secretly wary, thinking that he could not easily control such a person.

But he remained calm on the surface. He took out a piece of jade from his waist. It was so delicate and green that it looked like the best. He put it on Tian Feng's hand and said with a smile: "This is my uncle Ciyang Gong ( Yuan Wei), when he got married, Fufeng Ji Changgong took this as a congratulatory gift. Today I send it to you, and I hope you will encourage me."

At the same time, a team of horses dressed like Han merchants set off from Jinyang and headed north, following the route that General Wei Qing took out of the fortress, passing through Mayi and detouring to Dingxiang, and straight into the vast Yunzhong Hetao grassland. This is already the boundary of the Xianbei people, but they still go north, all the way to the foot of the magnificent Yin Mountain. Xianbei Royal Court Danhan Mountain was already dozens of miles southeast of them. In front of them was the green mountain with rolling greenery and rocks, with streams of melted snow flowing in it. The group of people followed the trend of the southeast of Yinshan Mountain, towards Head east.

Even in the season when all things are most prosperous, this road seems desolate and desolate. There is no human habitation, and you can only occasionally hear wolves howling at the moon in the distance. They took water to cook, ate the cured meat and dry food they brought in packages, and dug holes in the dirt beside the road to dig up voles and snakes to eat. The horses lost their attire, so they were supported by each other and walked with sticks. In the end, they did not show any fear. After walking like this for a month, they finally crossed the entire Xianbei territory and arrived at the foot of Baitan Mountain. They took turns going up the mountain every day, lighting bonfires on the top of the mountain, and staring at the mountains and forests to the south. After nearly ten days, they finally arrived from the rugged mountain road to the south, waiting for the Han knights to be greeted by a large group.

Putting on neat new clothes, surrounded by knights, they rode horses and took a detour from Pinggu, passing Yuan Shao's army, and soon arrived in Bohai County. Standing on the horse, looking at the endless fields and farmers in Hebei, as well as the calm Bohai Sea in the east, which is pregnant with thousands of waves, they showed smiles that they had suppressed for a long time. They were not far from their destination.

Turning around, they continued to ride south for twenty miles until they arrived at Zhangwu. However, they did not enter the city, but stayed in a small village in the northeast outside the city. The group rested in the village, ran hot water over their feet, and drank warm wine. They felt comfortable for a while, and then heard a messenger saying that the leader of the knights had arrived.

The leader specially put on a black silk Jinxian crown and a very formal envoy's dark coat, and followed the guide step by step to a small room. The leader couldn't help being surprised when he saw that the leader was so young, and then he laughed again. He might have thought it was funny, but he still said to the leader very respectfully: "Shi Fazheng, the right commander of Cao Cao, the general's palace admonishment army, has been ordered by the minister to pay homage to your lord, Chen Jun."

After the salute, Fazheng leaned over and smiled and said: "Chen Jun has been thinking about you, and I specially want to say hello to you."

The leader laughed loudly and said: "The independent prime minister takes care of everything every day, so it is rare for him to forget about a remote person like me!"

Fazheng said with a smile: "Mr. Chen not only remembers the prince, but also gives me a small gift." After saying that, he took out a letter written on silk from his body and handed it to the leader's hand. The leader quickly unfolded the secret letter and read it. After reading it, he put it on the stove and burned it. He looked at the black ashes, his expression changing, and he was silent for a long time. Then he said to Fazheng: "That's not what Duan Zhongming said when he talked to me."

Fazheng smiled and said, "If that's all you have to do, then why did Mr. Chen send me here?" He paused and said to the leader: "As long as you make up your mind, Mr. Chen can give the general the support of thousands of households." reward!"

The leader thought for a while, but did not answer immediately. He scratched his temples with his hand and sighed: "But recently I used the divination method to predict divination and got the "Jie Gua". It is said in "Yi" that the "Jie Gua" is beneficial to the southwest. The gentleman said, Is it disadvantageous for me to go north without end this time? Let’s lead the troops along the southwest and go straight to Luoyang!”

Fazheng didn't expect him to ask this, but after thinking about it for a while, he got something, so he said: "The "Jie" means thunder under the water, thunderstorms and all kinds of grass, fruits and trees. This indicates that a gentleman will take advantage of the situation and attack. Make the Guanhe River change color, and the heaven and earth be reunited. As for benefiting the southwest, the ruler's residence happens to be in the southwest of Wu Zhong, and the southwest of the country is a good sign!"

After hearing this, the leader smiled slightly and said, "Sir, you might as well stay in my tent. In a few days, I will lead my army north and I will naturally give an explanation to the court."

Fazheng was not in a hurry and said calmly: "When Xiaguan came out from Jinyang, he put life and death aside. Since Junhou has given an account to Chen Jun, then Fazheng's life will be entrusted to Junhou."
