Peng.
The long knife drew a graceful arc in the air, accurately avoiding the leather armor and piercing into the back of the heart.
The huge impact directly knocked the man off the horse and landed heavily on the grass. Blood immediately flowed out.
Seeing the last enemy fall to the ground, Gao Shun returned the sword to its sheath and weighed the wine bag with compassion. It was empty.
More than ten miles away, Gongsun Zan had already rushed over with his white horse.
At this time, the camera gradually rises from the plain.
Starting from the hillside where Gao Shun was located, and stretching for more than ten miles to the south, a bloody torrent finally merged into the Liao River, dyeing half of the water red.
Horses and people were all lying down in various directions.
There were hundreds of people in the largest place, and there were more than 20,000 people in the smallest place, right at the feet of Gao Shun, and no one was spared.
After autumn, the yellowed turf was artificially dyed with a layer of bright red, and then the blood penetrated into the soil and turned black again.
"Xu~"
"Captain Gao, are the brothers in the Tiger Army okay?"
When Gongsun Zan arrived, his attitude became obviously much more polite, and even a few pretentious deputies did not dare to interrupt at this time.
Gao Shun wiped his face and pulled off the bloody mask.
For more than two hours, the tiger face mask on his face was naturally stained with a lot of blood. The blood dried and wet, wet and dried again, and the blood scab formed into a mask that looked even more ferocious than the tiger mask.
"It's okay. Thank you Ji Hou for your concern." Gao Shun showed a slightly rosy face, wearing a mask for a long time, which made him somewhat panicked.
But he couldn't do it without wearing it. He almost lost his appearance several times, but it was protected by this tiger-face mask.
Gongsun Zan's eyes flickered, and he thought about whether he should wear a mask or something later.
As a famous handsome guy in the Three Kingdoms, Gongsun Zan still attaches great importance to his beauty.
"Okay, okay, Captain Gao has done a great job this time. Just three hours ago, our side just ended the battle. I thought that side was the main force. I didn't expect their real main force to be on your side. After hearing the news , I immediately brought people over."
Gao Shun stepped on the head of the man on the ground and said disdainfully: "No wonder their horses ran so fast that we chased them for more than ten miles."
Gongsun Zan glanced at the corpse at Gao Shun's feet, and then said: "By the way, Captain Gao, I have ordered people to prepare food and wine in the camp. All the warriors of the Hu Po Army are also tired. Let's..."
"Not urgent."
Gao Shun raised his eyes and looked at Gongsun Zan, and said in a deep voice: "Don't Ji Hou think this is a good opportunity to pursue the victory? That earthen castle seems to be not very far from here." He looked to the north.
Gongsun Zan was stunned for a moment, as if he couldn't believe it. "Captain Gao means, can the brothers of the Tiger Army continue to fight?"
Gao Shun twisted his sore neck and heard the sound of bone and joint friction.
"Where are the soldiers of the Tiger Army!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
"exist!"
Gongsun Zan and others were startled, and when they looked back, they saw that the two thousand people who had just scattered around to deal damage had now formed a neat formation.
"What a strong discipline!"
Gongsun Zan and his party were greatly shocked.

Luoyang.
There were cries of "wow, wah, wah, wah," coming from the imperial garden, as well as the sounds of children running and playing.
Wei Teng yawned and asked Hao Zhao aside, "What time is it?"
Hao Zhao took out his pocket watch and said, "It's just past Chen hour."
Wei Ting nodded slightly and walked into the imperial garden, and happened to bump into Aning, who was blindfolded with a red cloth.
"Haha, I caught it, I caught it... Huh?"
Aning just felt that the touch felt wrong, so he took off his blindfold, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "Brother Wei!"
Wei Teng nodded her forehead angrily and said, "How dangerous is this yard? What if I fall into the pool?"
In the pavilion, Cai Yan, who was coaxing the children, looked back and said with a smile: "Don't worry, husband, there is a little flower watching by."
Wei Cheng turned around and found a huge figure standing next to the Moon Gate. Who else was it if it wasn't Xiaohua.
"I've met Mr. Wei." Xiaohua, wearing pig liver-colored leather armor, saluted Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng smiled and nodded with her.
There was a thick layer of felt on the grass next to the pavilion. Queen Guo and Master Bu were practicing calligraphy on it. When they saw Wei Cheng arriving, they both stood up and bowed, "Disciple, I have met Master."
Wei Cheng picked up their copybooks, checked them over, and said with satisfaction: "It's very good. After copying this paragraph, you can rest for an hour and go play with Aning and Niu Niu."
Queen Guo and Trainer Bu looked at each other. After all, they were just children, so they must be playful.
It's just that the two of them don't want to be as carefree as Aning and Niu Niu. Their future is destined to be extraordinary.
"Xiao Hua, take them for a walk on the street. It's a rare time to come to Luoyang. It's so stressful to stay in the palace all day."
"Wow, we can finally go out to play. Brother Wei, won't you come with us?"
Looking at Aning who was clinging to her arm, Wei Cheng said angrily: "You are the most playful girl. You can go on your own. You are the oldest sister. Remember to protect your sisters. Do you understand?"
Aning said "oh" and quickly regained his energy. He ran out with Niu Niu, Queen Guo and Bu Trainer. Seeing this, Xiao Hua hurriedly called for a few female guards to follow.
Looking at the children running away, Wei Cheng and Cai Yan looked at each other and both laughed.
"Hey, my second child is still so good."
"Dabao, this child is useless. He cries all day long."
"Husband, how could anyone say that about his own son?"
···
The four little ones came all the way to the most prosperous White Horse Temple in the city.
The whole street here is full of all kinds of weird delicacies or specialties from all over the world, which is very famous in Luoyang.
At the same time, dialects from all over the Han Dynasty are gathered here. It is easy for ordinary people to get confused when they go there because of the language barrier.
However, Aning was able to thrive here.
Because she had traveled to many places with Zhang Zhongjing, although she didn't know much, she could speak a few words in the dialects of various places.
Perhaps this is a talent that belongs only to Aning, the talent of language.
"Yeah, that's Yizhou's kangcai, it's delicious."
"Is the little girl from Yizhou?"
The store owner was also surprised, because just now Aning's pronunciation of "Potato" was the same as theirs.
The so-called kimchi, sauerkraut and kimchi have been around since the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
Aning chuckled, nodded, and asked in Yizhou dialect: "How much do you pay for your spinach?"
The shopkeeper was happy, and looked at what An Ning was wearing, as well as Xiaohua and the other female guards. He bowed respectfully and said, "Young lady, it's just a little kidding. How much do you want, I'll fill it up for you." Can."
Aning opened the pot and smelled it, looking intoxicated.
The store owner was now more convinced that she was a fellow villager. Outsiders couldn't appreciate the sour smell from the can of spinach at such a close distance.
"Miss, you can try whatever you like. I'll install it for you."
Aning was not polite and asked the store for a pair of Kuaishou. He refused to eat alone and shared it with several sisters.
Except for the step trainer, Niu Niu and Queen Guo both felt so good.
Aning chuckled and planned to buy more and give Wei Cheng and Cai Yan a taste when they go back.
But at this moment, a young man of about the same age as them ran over, pointed at the clay pot on the stall, and said, "Shopkeeper, I want these kimchi."
The store owner was obviously a little surprised. He had been setting up a stall here for more than half a month, and this was the first time he encountered such a thing.
Behind the young man were two young men dressed as servants. After hearing what the young man said, one of them took out a money bag from his arms and asked, "How much is it?" From the accent, he must be from Xuzhou.
The shopkeeper glanced at Aning, smiled apologetically, and then responded: "Add it all up, just give me 600 cash."
"So cheap?" The boy was stunned for a moment, then quickly paid for it.
The store owner nodded and said, "Yes, plus 60 pounds of food coupons."
The boy was losing copper coins, but he was startled when he heard this, "You also need food tickets?"
When the shopkeeper looked at it, he realized that he was another out-of-towner. He probably didn’t have food stamps to buy fresh fruits and vegetables, so no wonder he wanted to wrap his own spinach.
The Wei family entered Luoyang and invited all the heroes from all over the world to expand their territory. After receiving the news, aristocratic families and people with lofty ideals gathered one after another.
So many people poured into Luoyang all at once, which naturally brought some unnecessary impact on the city.
Housing is one thing, but food is a big problem.
For this reason, Wei had to use tickets again to distribute all materials fairly and reasonably in a planned way.
And those who have just arrived in Luoyang will be a little confused at first because they are not used to it yet.
Just like the three masters and servants now.
If you don’t have food stamps to buy groceries, aren’t you acting like a hooligan?
The store owner was kind-hearted and reminded them where they could exchange money for tickets, or simply go to the health center to get a job.
The three masters and servants looked at each other in confusion. They all stared at the jars of sour and refreshing spinach and swallowed their saliva. Their stomachs growled unsatisfactorily.
Aning and others next to him looked at each other in confusion. At this moment, Niu Niu walked up to the young man and took out a few tickets from his arms.
"Here you go." Niu Niu said angrily.
The young man looked at the little girl in front of him who was half a head shorter than him, and then looked at the tickets held in her little hands.
"Here you go." Niu Niu raised his hand again.
The young man looked at Niu Niu's pink cheeks and evasive eyes. He suddenly felt funny and stretched out his hand to take the ticket, "Thank you."
Niuniu said dumbly, "Hmm", and ran back to hide behind Aning.
The boy tightened his grip on the tickets in his hand. There were not only food stamps and vegetable stamps, but also cake tickets. He remembered that his brother was mumbling about what cakes he wanted to eat yesterday, which made his uncle look embarrassed because he was new here and he didn't have cake tickets.
"Thank you!" The young man thanked Niu Niu again, this time with a gift and full of sincerity.
After taking a deep look at Niu Niu, he turned around and left with the two boys.
Until the three of them walked away, everyone looked at Niu Niu curiously.
An Ning asked with hatred: "Why did you give him all the votes?"
Niu Niu looked at the young man walking away aggrievedly, and whispered: "I heard his stomach growling, he must be hungry."
Niu Niu didn't explain. She was about to starve to death. The feeling was really uncomfortable. If she hadn't met Brother Zheng, she and her mother would have starved to death. There is nothing more terrifying in the world than being hungry.
···
Inn.
In the wing room.
Zhuge Xuan leaned against the wall weakly and sighed: "It's really ridiculous to think that I, Zhuge Xuan, the prefect of the county, have fallen like this."
A woman next to her shook her head and held a bowl with two boiled potatoes in it.
"Let's just make do with some food. Ajin only got food stamps in exchange. If you have money, there's no place to exchange for other stamps."
Zhuge Xuan rubbed his belly and ate potatoes and sweet potatoes for two days in a row. He really couldn't eat any more. He wanted to eat meat and vegetables.
"Uncle, where are my brother and the others?" A four-year-old boy at the door asked, leaning on the threshold and looking around.
Zhuge Xuan looked at this little nephew and said angrily: "If you don't just stay in the house, why are you running around?"
The child ran behind the woman and hugged her legs, "Aunt, where is my brother?"
The woman lowered her head, picked up the child, and said with a smile: "Your eldest brother has gone to look for errands, and your second brother has gone to buy you delicious food."
Hearing this, the child clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there is something delicious!"
The woman laughed helplessly, not having any hope in her heart. There were no tickets in Luoyang and she couldn't buy anything.
Looking at her husband on the bed, the woman sighed: "Actually, it would be good to go south with the Sun family. Now that I have come to Luoyang, I can't even eat. What do you think you are doing?"
Zhu Ge
The woman sighed softly, she didn't understand, but she knew she couldn't suffer the child.
Because of her weak body, her first child died, and she was unable to conceive anyway. She originally thought that would be it, but to her surprise, God gave her five children at once, three boys and two girls, who she regarded as her own.
Looking at the sallow and skinny little boy in her arms, the woman was heartbroken. She was obviously rich, but she couldn't buy anything to eat.
"By the way, don't you know the Yuan family? Why don't you go and walk around?" the woman suddenly asked.
Zhuge Xuan was startled when he heard this and said speechlessly: "We are a step late. Yuan Gongli has already gone to Liangzhou. However, I have asked Ajin to visit some old friends of the eldest brother. I think it won't be long before I can get him." One official and one half job, you will not starve to death."
The woman nodded, walked to the bed nearby and sat down.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps on the porch outside the house, followed by a strong smell.
Zhuge Xuan sniffed and his eyes lit up, "There is wine, roast chicken, and a sweet smell..."
"It's cake!" the child in the woman's arms added.
Ever since that day when he saw the shopkeeper's child eating cake, the child could not forget it.
Outside the door, the young man just walked in with two boys.
"Uncle, aunt, Liang bought some food, little brother, look what this is!"
"Ah, it's cake, it's really cake!"
The child landed with a plop, took the cake from the boy's hand, and jumped around the house. He was so happy!
On the other hand, Zhuge Xuan and the woman looked at each other and asked with concern almost at the same time: "A Liang, where did you get so many votes?"
The young man thought of the little silly girl, smiled and said: "A gift from a noble man."
