The closer they got to Yecheng, the more anxious Luoxue became, and the more lively the boat became.

The young man who was brought aboard by Lu Su quickly lost his restraint. Although he looked young, he seemed to accurately see the curiosity of these people from the south about this place, and began to talk about his own experience half-actively.

Now two months have passed since the end of the war, and the situation on each battlefield has been heard by each other.

Just as Zhang Liao knew that Yecheng had changed, and then Deputy Prime Minister Cao led the army south to help his father suppress the bandits, but how they were defeated so quickly and without a sound at Hulao Pass, this was something Zhang Liao did not understand.

And the story of this young man just filled in this link.

Forced to join the army, lined up at the pass, and attacked without regard for death.

The boats attacked by surprise, the artillery shook the sky, and the defeat came in an instant.

However, the battlefield described by this young man was only a minor part. According to him, he was trapped by the chaotic army and thought he would die. He was saved by General Lu Su's army. Therefore, he was willing to follow General Lu, and General Lu did not abandon him and taught him a lot.

So Zhang Liao sighed sincerely:

"General Lu is as noble as always."

Dusting the snow on his hat, Lu Su shook his head and whispered:

"It's just that I saw that he was separated from his family, and I was worried about how he could survive in the army at the age of only twelve? So I just took him with me temporarily until he met his family."

"Then why did you go to Yecheng this time?" Zhang Liao was curious.

Looking at the young man who had finished telling his own experience and began to pester Ma Liang to ask about the customs of Jiangdong, Lu Su smiled and said:

"Dan'er is also from the Zhuge family of Langya. I have asked him and he can be regarded as a cousin of Kong Ming."

So Zhang Liao immediately understood, and Zhao Yun couldn't help but look at him a few more times to look at him carefully. Zhuge Dan also felt something and turned back suddenly, and the two of them separated as soon as their eyes met.

"This boy will surely become famous in the future."

Zhao Yun whispered, which surprised Zhang Liao a little, but looking back at Lu Su's smiling expression, it was obvious that he also agreed with Zhao Yun's judgment, so he unconsciously looked at him a few more times, but at this time, he only looked at the back of a head that was smiling and talking with Ma Liang.

"Could it be that all those with the surname Zhuge have talents?" Zhang Liao muttered.

Putting this matter aside for the time being, Zhao Yun thought of another person:

"Will the military advisor not go with us?"

Lu Su took the hot wine handed over by Gan Gui respectfully, nodded to him with a smile, and sighed slightly:

"Xiaozhi still needs to stay in Luoyang to take a general view of Guanzhong affairs. He wrote a letter to me to bring to the lord."

"Zhongmiao also needs to inspect the military affairs and station troops in Xingyang, so he can't go with us. He also has a letter."

"The victory over Cao Pi at Hulao Pass was also due to Xiaozhi staying in the rear and Zhongmiao's surprise attack, fearless and fearless, which made Su get this false reputation."

Zhao Yun nodded, and then whispered to Lu Su that Huo Jun had made great achievements in Yizhou and Hanzhong but was not arrogant, and was truly a pillar of the Han Dynasty.

Ma Liang also talked about the old things he had done with Huo Jun in Gong'an County, so the boat became more cheerful.

The falling snow could not cover the laughter and chatter. Following the sailors' calls, the fleet turned a corner and slowly entered the Yellow River and flowed westward. In the distance, Hulao Pass was only an outline under the sky, and was left behind by the fleet.

After another day of walking, the snow was a little lighter. One day, Zhao Yun went out of the cabin to stretch his muscles and bones, and saw Zhang Liao standing there early, patting the side of the boat and saying:

"We passed Yanjin last night, and Liyang is ahead. We should enter Baigou from here and go north to Yecheng."

Zhao Yun also stood by the side of the boat, trying to identify where Zhang Liao pointed, and saw a ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Then Zhang Liao turned his finger and pointed to the other side of the Yellow River and said:

"The south bank is Baimajin, and from here to the south is Baima."

"Fourteen years ago, I was here for my brother... for General Yunchang to raid the battlefield, and I saw with my own eyes that the general killed Yan Liang in one move."

These two short sentences contained endless emotion, Zhao Yun nodded:

"General Guan is good at military battles, can lead infantry, cavalry, navy, and ride alone. All he wants is victory. This is the pure general Yun knows."

Zhang Liao nodded at this, but the sigh in the end was a little more sad:

"It's been fifteen years."

Zhao Yun understood this sigh. Fourteen years ago, General Guan stabbed Yan Liang to break the siege of Baima, and fifteen years ago, Lu Bu was defeated in Xiapi, and Zhang Liao returned to Cao Cao.

In the past, the heroes of Bingzhou, led by Ding Yuan, went to Luoyang with the ambition of pacifying the world and becoming famous. However, the wind and sand in the north could not compete with the prosperity of the Central Plains. In just ten years, Ding Yuan and Lu Bu died one after another, and Zhang Liao's former comrades were even less than one in ten.

The wind at the bow became stronger, and Zhao Yun heard someone calling him with the sound of the wind:

"General Zilong, General Gan wants to rest in Liyang ahead for half an hour, and go ashore to drink a cup of hot wine. Do you want to go with us?"

Looking back, he could see that Lu Su, Zhuge Dan and others had left the cabin at some point, and it was Ma Liang who was calling him at this time.

Zhao Yun looked back at Zhang Liao, who was still worried. He was not good at speaking, so he simply dragged Zhang Liao away:

"I'll be there soon!"

"Zhang Wenyuan is coming too!"

Zhang Liao couldn't struggle for a while, but he heard Ma Liang loudly asking Zhang Liao if he wanted a stronger drink in the distance, and Lu Su was calling Gan Gui to come and drink more with Zhang Liao after finishing his chores. He suddenly didn't want to struggle anymore.

Maybe this is not a bad idea.

After a short rest in Liyang, the fleet slowly headed north along Baigou. After passing Fanyang, they rested for a night and then turned west into Huanshui River. After another half a day, they arrived at Changle County, the end point of this journey.

"I also want to sail the boat to the foot of Yecheng, but that way I have to go northward for two days through Fanyang. When I reach Guantao, I will change the route to the west and enter the Zhangshui River, and the Zhangshui River will flow through Yecheng."

Gan Gui came to the deck and while directing the fleet to prepare for docking and unloading, he explained incessantly:

"But in that case, it will take an extra seven or eight days. It's getting colder every day now. If the Zhangshui River freezes, it will be very difficult. So if we don't unload the goods here, we can reach Yecheng less than a hundred miles to the north. There should be Someone from Yang Ping Pavilion will come to pick him up... isn't that coming? "

Following Gan Gui's explanation and final direction, Zhao Yun waited and looked in the direction he pointed. Sure enough, he saw that a group of people had gradually gathered on the shore, obviously to assist the fleet in unloading the cargo.

However, Zhao Yun's eyesight was better. Even through the snow, he could vaguely see the figure of the leader, and the outline looked familiar no matter how he looked at it.

Before further confirmation, a deep voice boomed on the river beach:

"Zilong Zilong, my dear brother, are you here?"

In Zhang Liao's opinion, Zhao Zilong was quite reserved and behaved like a humble gentleman in his daily interactions. But at this moment, he completely lost that reserved demeanor. He could only see an undisguised laugh rising on the general's face, and he rushed to the side of the ship without any hesitation. He waved his hands in a calculating manner and said:

"Third brother, Zilong is here!"
