Chapter 513: The scorching autumn sun and the majestic clouds (1)
The autumn day shines on the shadows of large clouds above the clouds slowly moving on the grassland highlands. The caravan escorts wind across the roads, as if passing through the gap between clouds. The early autumn wind is still carrying a heat wave, lifting up the curtain and blowing on the delicate skin of the figures, and it still feels burning.
Several carriages were loaded with goods, with hundreds of guards following them, in the most luxurious car in the middle, the woman was hunching her head and looking at the account book. The curtains were rolled up and the sun shone in outside. She raised her head and looked outside. It was a yellow-green grassland. The hills were stacked in the bright sunshine and extended to the end of the sky. Occasionally, she could see sheep and horse-drawn figures waving whips in the distance. There were also songs on the grassland that were unaware of, but magnificent, which made her feel relaxed and happy. This place is not as prosperous as the Central Plains, Jizhou, but it is uniquely heroic and grand, just like a man's broad chest...
But now, the woman no longer had the longing and curiosity of her childhood. The burden at home was about to put her breath away. Her sister and brother-in-law were kidnapped and then released. Her mother was overly worried and worked day and night, and she died on the couch. All this seemed to be falling on the sky, pressing on her thin shoulders. This heavy discomfort had never happened even when her husband died. She didn't know if she could keep the Zhen family.
In mid-August, the Wolf King from the Northland asked her to go to Shanggu County. Zhen Jiang led her guards to hurry north without even thinking about it. The Yuan family was no longer reliable. He knew that he had to walk a different path again. The Wolf King in the north, his mother was still alive, warned her that it was a terrible person, not to get too close, but for me, there was no more choice.
The sun was a little dazzling. On one side of the line of sight, you could see other caravans passing by or resting next to the road. Among them, four women were dressed in plain clothes, carrying knives and carrying bags, walking between heaven and earth like men. Zhen Jiang looked at it in a daze for a while, put down the curtain, sat back behind the short table, and continued to flip through the account books.
"I really envy them..."
When the pen tip outlined the handwriting, she raised her head and looked at the curtain again, thinking this way. Seven days later, the caravan entered the boundary of Shanggu County, and the outline of Juyang City was seen at the end of his sight. In the distant west, a team of horses composed of several people stepped across the grassland and ran past the grassland people who shepherded sheep and cattle.
"Start up! There is an inn in front of you to change horses. After lunch, continue on the road. Before dark, go down to the grassland and enter the horse city!"
The commander in the team shouted to the brothers behind him, and continued to speed forward with a whip. Inside his chest was a letter of information from far away in the West, which was written in Chinese characters. Some of the golden and white-skinned prisoners captured by Shuofang could speak Chinese. When they learned that it was a letter to the governor of the North, the prefect sent a quick horse to escort the information to Shanggu County overnight. As for the team of envoys, they were left behind and guarded by the soldiers in the city, waiting for confirmation before summoning them.
On Shanggu County, the previous rebellion in the Xianbei region did not cause much fluctuation. The caravans that conveyed the message were informed by the government and naturally would not make any noise, causing riots, which would affect border trade. However, some were also leaked from the interested people. Not long after, the Xianbei Shanyu Suonu and Hu Dai Wild Wolf Mud were beheaded by the flying general Lu Bu. The matter was just beginning to spread, and the people who had just received the news of the rebellion heard such a thing and felt a complicated mood that was difficult to express in their hearts.
On the fifth day of the September 19th, the broken and bloody Xianbei Shanyu flag was held high by the Han cavalry and entered the north gate, which made the short-term and extreme rebellion fall into the ground in the astonishing eyes. Lu Bu's triumph again raised the battle flag and entered the people's sight, which was incredible to everyone.
In the Shanggu County military camp, the troops behind him were replenishing the troops, sweating profusely in the huge schoolyard, and they all let out murderous shouts. The largest tent in the middle was patrolling the soldiers around him, and the scrubbing curtains continued to spread.
"... Yan Rou was promoted to General Fenwei and the lieutenant of Wuhuan; Qianzhao was promoted to General Fenwu and the lieutenant of Xiongnu; Pan Feng's original position remained unchanged, and was promoted to Captain Jianzhong; Dian Wei was promoted to General Wuwei; Zou Dan was promoted to General Zhenwei and the lieutenant of infantry... Gongsun was promoted to General Xuande... Gao was promoted to General against rebellion... Tian Yu was appointed as General of the Eastern Central Army and was appointed as the governor of Youzhou... Xu Rong was appointed as General of the General of Bingzhou... In addition, Hua Xiong was reborn and promoted to advance with great achievements, whipped fifty, surrendered to general of the side, and temporarily led the wolf cavalry..."
As Li Ke finished reading the reward content, he raised it above his head and showed it to everyone. The generals sitting below whispered, bowing to their colleagues from time to time and saying words such as congratulations. Pan Feng's round face turned red with excitement, patted his thighs hard, and said, "Okay!" The next second, he leaned slightly to ask the side of the rope, and whispered: "...What kind of rank is Captain Jianzhong?"
Amid the buzzing noise, Gongsun Zhi, wearing armor, sat on a big chair, said a few words to Li Ke, looked at them, raised his hand, and calmed down, grinned and smiled: "Don't think the reward is too small, after hitting one Yuan Shao, there are many people who want to beat him, and then I'm afraid that the general will give you the title."
In the quiet, everyone burst into laughter and shouted, "Then the lord will be the marquis of us at that time." In the crowd, Qianzhao stood up from the position: "Yes, there are so many people in our tent. If they are all named marquis, once the war is fought and the flag is revealed, it will not scare the enemy to death, haha."
"That's right, the lord leaves me Lao Pan with a marquis!"
"Enjoy the marquis? I still inherit my father's title." Although it was a reward at this time, the so serious meeting was not applicable to the bandit-like generals in the north. Gongsun Zhi smiled and said, "... But who among you wants to be a marquis now and learn to be a scholar. I promise to chase one for you."
The big-shouldered and round-waisted figure smiled awkwardly, and waved his hands repeatedly: "Then forget it." He sat down, and his face showed seriousness: "I think it's better to make a long-term plan for the title of a marquis. Fame and fortune are about to be achieved, so don't worry."
In the atmosphere, the curtain outside was lifted open, and a powerful and tall body strode in with a sword. Behind him was Gao Shun holding two wooden boxes. Several generals and leaders on both sides of the road bowed to him, and then looked at the wooden box in Gao Shun's hand.
"Mr. Wen has returned from a long journey, thank you for your hard work." Gongsun Zhi stretched out his hand: "Set a seat for Mar. Wen."
Lu Bu laughed and walked forward. In front of everyone, the first person sat down on the side and stretched out his hand. Gao Shun stepped forward and handed the wooden box to Li Ke who was coming. The wooden box was opened in everyone's eyes. Two pickled heads were placed on the ground. On the side seat, Lu Bu pointed at the head of the wild wolf mud: "As sooner or later, such a villain will repeat. A certain family will kill each other together, so as to avoid having to go another trip in the future."
At this time, there were Wuhuan generals in the tent, such as Lou Ban, Su Puyan, Gu Jin, Pufulu, Kouloudun, etc. When they saw the heads on the ground and the casual tone of the generals there, their faces were naturally a little frightened, and they all stood up and bowed: "We have not made any achievements since Wuhuan surrendered to the Wolf King. We are willing to go to the Xianbei to attack the remnants of the Lou Nu and hand them over to the governor to deal with it."
"Sit down, don't be nervous." Gongsun Zhi pressed his hands, and then they sat down with anxiety. A soldier brought wine and cooked meat to present it, the figure on the big chair slowly stood up and walked past the long case: "You live in the Han area with peace of mind, you have food and clothes, just don't learn from this person. If you fight less, you will die less. Do you understand?"
"We understand." Lou Ban and others quickly bowed their hands to respond.
"Actually, many people don't understand. Suo Nu was as well-behaved as you did." Gongsun Zhi walked to the two heads with his hands, stopped, his eyes lowered and his voice aggravated: "... I thought the benefit I gave him in the past few years was that I was confused and gave him the opportunity to strengthen his clan... I thought that my Gongsun Zhi had just finished fighting Yuan Shao, and he didn't dare to fight again after he was injured. What's the matter now? Are you dead?!"
