The arrival of reinforcements gave the defenders an exciting boost. Gao Fei's breakthrough from behind the Wuhuan people with his army also gave the defenders an indescribable power. Encouraged by this power, the defenders began to take the initiative.
Attacked, and the reinforcements began to attack the Wuhuan people.
The Wuhuan people's encirclement was successfully broken through. However, the Wuhuan people did not fall into panic, because Qiu Liju issued an order to retreat, and the Wuhuan people's commanders led their tribesmen to retreat in an orderly manner.
, although they were attacked from a flank, they were not seriously injured and they all fled towards the northwest.
At this time, the sun turned into a big red wheel and set on the edge of the mountains in the distance. The stacked mountains turned into a purple-brown stain on the skyline. It was the setting sun.
At that time, golden silence enveloped the grassland, and the earth was filled with the smell of blood. The red color of blood could be seen everywhere, forming one with the sky, as if the whole world was blood red.
By the east gate of Guanzi City, Gongsun Zan was riding a strong white horse, followed by Liu Bei. Two thousand white horse righteous soldiers were divided into two lines and were waiting there quietly. The corpses by the city gate had been cleared away, leaving a free lane.
The clean roads and dilapidated city walls are also filled with people. The big flag embroidered with "Gongsun" is firmly planted on the city tower, swinging in the evening breeze of the setting sun.
The majestic cavalry were lined up on the ground outside the city. Gaofei Chuoqiang riding a black dragon horse, followed by Xun You and Wuliden, headed towards Gongsun Zan's city gate.
When they came to the city gate, Gao Fei, Xun You, and Uli Deng all dismounted their horses, and they met Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei who had jumped off their horses and walked towards each other. When the two groups met, they all showed joy on their faces.
"General Gongsun, I wasted a little time on the road and kept you waiting." Gao Fei first said politely.
Gongsun Zan and Gao Fei once had a relationship in Liaodong. At this time, when he looked at Gao Fei in armor, he unknowingly discovered that Gao Fei had an indescribable power.
A little afraid. Maybe it was because of the more than 20,000 cavalry lined up behind Gao Fei. In short, he looked at Gao Fei carefully, and it took a long time before he said anything: "General Gao can save me with justice, which is already a great honor to me."
This is the greatest help. I have to thank General Gao for relieving the siege of Guanzi City this time. This is not the place to talk. General, please follow me into the city!"
Gao Fei nodded, turned to Wu Liden and said: "Go and tell the Five Tiger Generals to lead their troops to station in Qiuliju's camp. The military advisor and I have entered the city and will not be back until a while."
Uliden said "Promise", turned around and walked back.
Liu Bei looked behind Gao Fei, but saw no sign of Tian Yu, and said hurriedly: "General Gao, we haven't seen each other for more than a year. I wonder if everything is fine with General Gao?"
Gao Fei replied casually: "Okay, everything is fine with me. I didn't expect that it would be like this when we meet again."
An awkward smile appeared on Liu Bei's face. Hearing Gao Fei's seemingly sarcastic words, he felt very uncomfortable. Then he pretended to be casual and asked, "Huh? Didn't Tian Yu come back with the general?"
Gao Fei said: "Brother Xuande, don't worry. Tian Yu was injured in the battle. I have already sent someone to treat him. It won't be anything serious."
Liu Bei said "Oh" and felt relieved. He turned around and waved his hand gestures, saying to Gao Fei: "General Gao, please!"
After entering Guanzi City, Gao Fei looked at everything in the city. Guanzi City is close to the grassland outside the Great Wall and is a fortress specially used for garrisoning. There are no common people in the city, so he cannot see a single common person.
Injured soldiers lay scattered in the city, each with varying degrees of injuries. Even Gongsun Zan was hit by two arrows, and the bandages he wore were stained with blood. Seeing everything in the city, he was completely
You can imagine how the soldiers who were surrounded by the city spent these ten days.
After entering the government office, Gongsun Zan ordered a banquet and gathered all the generals to greet Gao Fei.
The hall was full of people, including Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. When they saw Gao Fei, they couldn't restrain their inner joy on their faces, but they didn't show it.
Gongsun Zan poured down a glass of wine, raised it and said to Gao Fei who was sitting next to him: "General Gao, these are my subordinates. Let me introduce them to General Gao. On the left are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Shan Jing,
Tian Kai, Wangmen, and on the right are Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, Gongsun Xu, Yan Gang, Guan Jing, and Zou Dan. They usually admire General Gao. This time, General Gao came in person. He not only helped me relieve the siege, but also led him
So many soldiers and horses came to suppress the rebellion, I don't know how to thank General Gao."
Gao Fei knew Gongsun Zan very well. Although he did not have many generals under his command, Gongsun Zan was still very powerful. At least most of his subordinates were from the Youzhou area, and they were all skilled in bow and horse. They once forced Yuan Shao into a corner.
He was quite embarrassed. He looked around at the people here and felt that except for Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Tian Yu who were recovering from injuries in his camp, he was not interested in anyone else. He just smiled slightly and forget it.
That's it.
Gongsun Zan glanced at Xun You who was present and asked: "General Gao, who is this?"
Gao Fei hurriedly introduced: "This is Xun Gongda of Yingchuan, who is now my military advisor."
Gongsun Zan didn't like the scribes at all, he just said "oh" lightly, and although Xun You said he was well-known in the country, his reputation was only in the Central Plains. For a warrior like him, he was rarely interested in remembering famous scholars.
.
Xun You didn't care, he cupped his hands towards Gongsun Zan and smiled with him.
When Liu Bei heard Xun You's name, he was surprised. He glanced at Gao Fei sideways and thought slowly in his heart: "I didn't expect that even a famous person like Xun You would be willing to follow him. How big is Gao Fei?"
Why are so many people willing to follow him because of his charm? As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, why has my career been so bumpy? Even now, I still have to rely on others and do things based on their faces. God, why do you treat me like this, Liu Bei?
It’s not fair!”
Gongsun Zan raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Come, today is the day when General Gao arrives. Let's toast General Gao together."
Gao Fei was not very interested in Gongsun Zan's politeness, so he dealt with the situation casually, and finally left the hall with Xun You because he was not strong enough to drink.
The night had fallen, and the entire land was shrouded in darkness. Gao Fei and Xun You walked side by side on the road out of Guanzi City, looked up at the night sky, and said slowly: "What do the military advisors think of Gongsun Zan?"
Xun You smiled and said: "Gongsun Zan is nothing to worry about, and General White Horse is nothing more than that. However, the man named Liu Bei under Gongsun Zan's command is very deep in the city. My lord must be careful."
"Is this the first time the military advisor has met Liu Bei today?"
"Well, it is indeed the first time. No wonder the Lord takes this person to heart. This person is not a simple person. He may become a stumbling block for the Lord in the future."
"The military advisor has a unique and powerful vision. I have said before that this dispatch of troops has two purposes. One is to expand outward by quelling the chaos, and the other is to find a way to kill Liu Bei. Compared with Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei is a
Dangerous people, his two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both brave and courageous. I once wanted to conquer them for my use, but I couldn't succeed every time. Since they can't be used by me, I can't let them become
My enemies, the only way is to get rid of them."
"My lord, my subordinates think that now is not the time to get rid of Liu Bei. The chaos has not been settled yet. My lord cannot fall out with Gongsun Zan yet. Liu Bei is now his subordinate. If he kills Liu Bei, it will be equivalent to breaking up with Gongsun Zan. We need to calm down You."
If the Wuhuan people in the state rebel, my lord must rely on Gongsun Zan's help."
Gao Fei laughed and said: "I know this. Gongsun Zan, who was hailed as the White Horse General by the Xianbei people, was also a figure feared by the Wuhuan people, so Qiu Liju was the first to attack Gongsun Zan as soon as he rebelled. Now Guanzicheng
Although the siege has been lifted, Qiu Liju's strength has not been weakened, and the Wuhuan Tuqi are world-famous and have more troops than us, so it is really a thorny problem."
Xun You said: "My lord, don't worry. After we return to the camp, we will make a long-term plan. Now we are in Guanzi City, surrounded by Gongsun Zan's subordinates. It is extremely inconvenient to talk."
Gao Fei nodded, and had his black colt and a horse brought over, and he and Xun You rode out of the city and jogged out.
The two of them had just left the city when they heard a voice from behind: "General Gao, please stay!"
Flying high, Xun You looked back and saw that the man on the horse was Gongsun Yue. They raised their hands together and said, "Oh, it turns out to be General Gongsun. I'm disrespectful."
Gongsun Yue was Gongsun Zan's younger brother. Seeing Gao Fei and Xun You being so polite, he said: "General Gao, my lord sent me here to discuss with General Gao how to deal with the Wuhuan people. Now although Qiu Liju has retreated,
However, it did not suffer any serious damage. In addition, this place is in western Liaoning and is Qiu Liju’s hometown. Qiu Liju will not let this place go."
After hearing this, Gao Fei asked: "Why doesn't your master come in person for such an important matter? Could it be that he looks down on me, the governor of Liaodong?"
Gongsun Yue said hurriedly: "General Gao, don't get me wrong, my lord has absolutely no such idea. It's just that my lord was hit by two arrows and drank too much tonight, so he can't come in person. But in order to show his sincerity, I sent a special
I’ll come in person.”
Gao Fei said: "I understand, but it's getting late now, and I've drank a lot, so we can only wait until tomorrow to discuss such a big matter."
Gongsun Yue said: "Okay, I will tell my lord, but my lord hopes to send troops jointly with General Gao to deal with Qiu Liju and the rebellious Wuhuan people. After the rebellion is put down, the credit will be divided equally. I hope Gao Gao can jointly send troops."
The general can think about it carefully, which is also the sincerity of my lord."
Gao Fei nodded and said: "I understand, General Gongsun, then we will see you tomorrow morning."
