Chapter 457: Two Great Heroes, Gathered in Liangzhou!【1】

Nighttime.

In Chen Yi's home.

In a bedroom lit by an oil lamp, a middle-aged woman was helping Chen Yi pack his bags.

A few pieces of warm clothing and two pairs of long boots were wrapped in a cloth bundle.

The middle-aged woman stood with her back to Chen Yi, her face full of worry.

Chen Yi, meanwhile, was still processing documents and official business by the dim light in the room.

After a while, when the middle-aged woman finished packing, she draped a black cloak over Chen Yi's shoulders.

"Is everything packed?" Chen Yi asked, holding a brush and carefully looking at the content on the bamboo slip in front of him.

The middle-aged woman nodded: "Everything is packed..."

"Husband..."

The middle-aged woman hesitated.

The brush in Chen Yi's hand paused slightly, then he said: "I have to go."

"Jincheng Commandery is the Liangzhou commandery with the most Qiang tribes. If the General Who Attacks the Xiongnu, Duan Yu, wants to use troops, he will inevitably attack Jincheng first."

"I can't manage the other commanderies, but Jincheng Commandery is under my jurisdiction."

"I should be the one to step forward."

The middle-aged woman bit her lip, then nodded and said nothing more.

Time flew by, and several days passed.

Early in the morning, just after the Mid-Autumn night, Duan Yu led over a hundred cavalrymen out of the east gate of Jixian and headed straight out of the city.

Near noon.

Duan Yu sat in a pavilion a few miles outside Jixian.

At this time, a charcoal brazier was set up in the pavilion.

Duan Yu, wearing a fur cloak, sat beside the brazier.

A copper pot was placed on the burning brazier.

Golden autumn had arrived; the leaves were turning yellow, and the mountains and plains were a sea of gold.

On the official road in the distance.

A group of dusty cavalrymen was traveling from east to west.

"General, they are here."

Tie Shitou, standing outside the pavilion, said.

Duan Yu put down the tongs holding the charcoal, turned to look at the distance of the official road, then stood up and walked out of the pavilion.

Two fast horses broke away from the team and galloped toward where Duan Yu was.

The two men on horseback looked slightly haggard, but their eyes were exceptionally bright.

While still far from Duan Yu, they couldn't wait to wave on their horses.

"Benchu!"

"Mengde!"

Duan Yu also waved to the two men galloping toward him.

"Ziyi!"

"Ziyi!"

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao rode their horses to the outside of the pavilion where Duan Yu was, then dismounted.

After dismounting, the three of them embraced.

The ones who came were none other than Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Duan Yu smiled, took their hands, and walked into the pavilion together, filling their cups with the already warmed wine.

"I have waited a long time in Liangzhou for Benchu and Mengde. This cup is to welcome Benchu and Mengde."

Duan Yu raised his wine cup.

At this time, Yuan Shao was wearing a suit of black armor, with a red cloak behind him, a golden crown on his head, and a precious sword at his waist.

The Records of the Three Kingdoms records that Yuan Shao had an outstanding appearance and demeanor when he was young, and was often imitated by the youth of Luoyang.

Now, in full military attire, the young Yuan Shao added a few more points of heroic spirit.

Looking at Cao Cao, he seemed even darker and thinner.

The three of them raised their cups together in the pavilion.

"Ziyi, this time Mengde and I have come, considering it as joining you. If the three of us can fight side by side in Liangzhou, it will surely become a beautiful story in the future."

"Now everyone in Luoyang knows that the three of us are good friends. If we can win a great battle in Liangzhou, we will surely become famous." ===== CHAPTER 459 =====
