At night, the stars have not yet emerged and the moonlight is hazy.
The crisp sound of horse hooves broke the silence. Gongsun Zan was riding a snow-white horse and was slowly advancing on the trail. Behind him were hundreds of soldiers from the brave battalion. He received Dong Zhuo's order and hurried back from the front line.
Looking for his own brigade, during this period, Qu Yi led his troops to search for four or five days, but found nothing. The only one who could find Xiaoyong Camp was Xiaoyong Camp.
Gongsun Zan carefully observed his surroundings. Along the way, he was taciturn and speechless. Qu Yi followed behind him, not leading an army, but just by himself. He still had some doubts in his heart. He originally thought,
Gongsun Zan would know where Xiaoyong Camp was, or he would pursue it directly. However, he did not expect that Gongsun Zan would be walking slowly and leisurely along the way, as if he had no target and was very casual.
He actually wanted to ask, but this guy kept a cold face and said nothing, so he was helpless.
Suddenly, Gongsun Zan tightened the reins, and the brave soldiers behind him also stopped. Gongsun Zan looked around, put his hand in his mouth, and made a strange sound. At that moment, there were sounds one after another around him.
, Under the darkness of night, Qu Yi could clearly see that among the surrounding woods, white horses one after another slowly walked out with their heads drooped.
Qu Yi was startled and was a little curious about those whistles.
Gongsun Zan looked at these brave soldiers. They lowered their heads, knowing in their hearts that they had made a big mistake. The leader was Gongsun Zan's right-hand man, Si Tamu from Dongyao. He frowned and came to Gongsun Zan's house.
In front of him, he jumped off his horse, bowed to Gongsun Zan, and said, "Captain, please forgive me!"
"stand up!"
Gongsun Zan said, he stood up, looked at Gongsun Zan, and said: "The captain doesn't know, those beasts, they..." Gongsun Zan waved his hand and said: "No need to say any more, take the people and come back with me!"
, Sitamu nodded and asked the others to follow. He followed Gongsun Zan and moved forward together. Gongsun Zan looked gloomy and said nothing.
When Xiaoyong Camp appeared in front of the main camp, many soldiers stood up and looked over curiously. They were still a little angry. They wanted to see what these elusive guys looked like. Qu Yi stepped forward.
, and asked them to return separately. Gongsun Zan didn't say anything, looked at the brave soldiers behind him, and then entered the camp with Qu Yi.
Dong Zhuo was sitting in front of a document, and Jia Xu was sitting next to him.
Seeing Gongsun Zan walking in, Dong Zhuo asked coldly: "Have you found them?"
"Their massacre of the nobles was my order. I asked them to hide in Julin afterwards. I went over and brought them directly." Gongsun Zan said solemnly. He looked at Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu, and then said:
"I have long seen that these nobles are displeased and have made such a big mistake, and I hope Duke Dong will deal with it. However, the brave soldiers of the camp all obeyed my orders and did not know the inside story. I hope Duke Dong can forgive me."
"Hey..." Dong Zhuo sneered and looked at Jia Xu on the side. Jia Xu shook his head and said: "They resisted the law, attacked the soldiers, and the heroic battalion fought back. How can we talk about their fault? Lieutenant, after such orders,
Don't talk about it anymore, just go down...and don't stay here anymore. It just so happens that the northern mountains guarded by Guan Yu are still short of manpower, so you can lead the troops and go to help..."
Hearing Jia Xu's words, Gongsun Zan was overjoyed, bowed to Dong Zhuo and Jia Xu again and again, and then walked out of the camp.
"Wen He..." Dong Zhuo laughed and said: "When you first arrived, I still hated you so much. I felt that you were just here to steal my military glory and didn't want me to take over the position of Taiwei. Now , I see you becoming more and more pleasing to the eye... Hahaha!"
"If so, then I have to thank Mr. Dong."
"It doesn't have to be like this. This time, together, you and I will definitely achieve great results!"
They were chatting in the camp, but Gongsun Zan came out and returned to his camp with the soldiers from the brave camp. The soldiers were not in high spirits, they all lowered their heads and had no energy at all. Gongsun Zan was furious and cursed He said: "Are you not happy to see that I have not been punished?"
"Don't dare!"
"Then why do you still look like this?!"
The soldiers then raised their heads, but still did not dare to look at Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan ordered them to go back to rest first, but left Sitamu behind. His brother Sitali did not go back either, standing behind them, surrounding a place. Feeling the blazing heat in the fire, Gongsun Zan said: "You are a little impulsive. You should not violate my military orders..."
"Captain..." Sitamu looked at the fire. He looked at the burning fire and said, "I told myself in every possible way that I must hold back and not violate military orders. However, you didn't see that scene. The people were like animals waiting to be slaughtered, kneeling on the ground... Several mansions, when we entered, our calves were soaked in blood..."
"This scene may be the first time that my colleagues have seen it, but it is not the first time that we have seen it... We Donghao people live and work in peace and contentment in Donghao, make a living by fishing and hunting, and are not enemies of others. Goguryeo regards us as Livestock were hunted and captured as slaves. My younger brother and I were captured at the age of five and were slaves for twenty-four years... We suffered the most suffering in the world..."
"In the past, when we were rescued by Mr. Zhang, we, like these people, did not dare to have any thoughts of revenge. Even when the captain recruited us, we just wanted to return home and enjoy the peace. However, After fighting with the captain for so long, the hatred becomes more and more intense and never subsides. Our enemy has died in the hands of Duke Yuan..."
"Looking at these people, it's like seeing myself in the past. They are still timid and they dare not resist, but we dare!"
Sitamu's eyes were red, he looked at Gongsun Zan and asked: "Captain, are we wrong?"
Gongsun Zan still looked at the burning fire in front of him, shaking his head, "I don't know, I can't feel the same way as you... But if something like this happens again in the future, you must tell me... I He is the captain of the brave camp. No matter what, you have to tell me and I will go with you..."
.....
The next day, Gongsun Zan left with the Xiaoyong Camp and went to the mountains in the north where Guan Yu was. Among the people in Malakanda, Nisejia was the only one who was very dissatisfied with the fact that the Xiaoyong Camp was not punished. However, because Dong Zhuo, a vicious man, did not report to the emperor for impeachment, but refused to deal with political affairs. In the end, Jia Xu went to visit him and chatted with him for a long time before he was comforted.
"Colonel, the brave Colonel is here with his troops!"
The soldiers reported to Guan Yu and Hua Xiong. Guan Yu nodded, looked at Hua Xiong and said, "Come with me!" Hua Xiong shook his head and said with some disgust: "They all smell of fish.
, I won’t go, you are the general, go and greet them, and if they ask, just say that I am busy formulating a strategy to destroy the enemy!"
"Hey, you're not going?" Guan Yu sneered and shook his hands, making a clicking sound.
"Hahaha, forget it, you invite me so kindly, I can't always refuse, I'll give you a favor, let's go!" Hua Xiong stood up, patted Guan Yu on the shoulder, and walked out of the tent first, Guan Yu
He rubbed his forehead and calmed down for a moment before walking out of the camp. When Guan Yu tidied up his clothes and rode his horse to the Xiaoyong camp, Hua Xiong had already been chatting animatedly with Gongsun Zan.
"Hey, the Kushan people heard that I was guarding this place. They didn't even dare to send scouts. They were so frightened that they retreated for dozens of miles, fearing that I would lead people to pursue them. It's a pity that I'm a little acclimated here and I'm not feeling well. Otherwise,
I had already brought people to bring the King of Kushan to Duke Dong to ask for a reward. However, Duke Dong was really stingy. I had wiped out all the invading Kushan rebels, but he didn’t give me any reward.
A small reward..."
Guan Yu stepped forward to meet Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan knew that this was the commander here, so he wanted to dismount and pay homage. Guan Yu quickly stopped him. Gongsun Zan was older than him and should not salute. He ordered Hua Xiong to arrange these things.
The soldiers entered the camp with Gongsun Zan. Hua Xiong did not complain and took the Donghao people to set up camp.
The soldiers of Xiaoyong Camp have all heard about Hua Xiong's name for a long time. The story of Hua Xiong's resistance to the cruel officials in Luoyang was widely spread in Xiaoyong Camp.
The soldiers gathered around him and listened to him telling many interesting things in Luoyang. Hua Xiong simply started talking, beating his chest and shouting: "Since I joined the army, I have never experienced a defeat. Every battle must be fought."
Victory... People at that time called me a strong warrior..."
"Captain Hua, I heard that General Lu, the general who protected the Japanese, once destroyed three Koreas and one country with his own efforts. He was called a fierce and unstoppable warrior. I wonder how the captain compares to him?" the soldiers asked curiously, looking at him.
They looked sincere. Hua Xiong cleared his throat, thought for a moment, and said: "I should be more powerful, but I won't fight with him. You know, he is old, and I can't bully the old man no matter what."
,Yes or no?"
"That's right, the captain lives up to his reputation as a warrior!"
While everyone was chatting, a soldier suddenly exclaimed: "There is a river here!!"
Hua Xiong said helplessly: "The smell of fish and shrimp is so fishy that it's hard to swallow. Why are you so obsessed with it?"
Guan Yu was discussing military affairs with Gongsun Zan in the camp. The army led by Guan Yu and Hua Xiong was less than three years old, and this was a plain with no dangerous exits. It was difficult for these three thousand people to be deployed here and be strictly guarded.
There were mountains and trees there, and there was no news of the enemy. Guan Yu had always been worried about this. Gongsun Zan's arrival made Guan Yu feel relieved a lot.
"Colonel Lieutenant, I would like to ask you to investigate the enemy situation ahead in the past few days..."
The two talked for a long time, but Hua Xiong didn't come back. Guan Yu frowned and ignored him. After agreeing on important matters, he and Gongsun Zan walked out of the camp. The two talked happily. As soon as they walked out of the camp, they saw him in the distance.
A group of soldiers gathered everywhere, not knowing what they were doing. The two of them stepped forward, pushed through the crowd, and came to the front.
But I saw Hua Xiong holding a grilled fish in one hand and biting it in big mouths. There was a pile of fish bones at his feet.
Seeing Guan Yu and Gongsun Zan, he grinned and asked vaguely: "This fish is very delicious, do you two want to try it?"
