Lu Yi looked at Zhang Liao and asked with a frown. Zhang Liao pondered for a moment and said: "You brave hero, I should have escorted you personally. As for Liangzhou, but this war is with me, I can't leave like this, I'm afraid I still have to
Excuse me, please send these people back to Liangzhou, hand them over to the governor of Liangzhou, and then escort them to Sili..." Zhang Liao ordered, Lu Yi nodded, Zhang Liao looked at the people in front and behind
The soldiers said again:
"When you return this time, I can only take fifty people with you... take care of them and bring them back to Liangzhou safely..."
"Here you go!"
Lu Yi took these three warriors and returned to Liangzhou. No, it was four warriors. The dead military prince was carried by the soldiers. The group quickly returned to Liangzhou, while Zhang Liao led the rest to continue advancing.
After the two separated, Zhang Liao accelerated his attack. In a short period of time, he led his army to the gathering area. Here, only Zhao Yun and Tadun's troops were present, and the rest had not yet returned.
The two people came to meet Zhang Liao, and then noticed that Lu Yi was not there. Tadun did not ask, but Zhao Yun asked with some confusion: "Why is Captain Lu missing?" Zhang Liao said solemnly: "On the way, we met
The four of them are soldiers from the Xiaoyong Camp...I asked Lu Yi to send them back to Liangzhou..."
"What?? Xiaoyong Camp?? But they..." Zhao Yun wanted to say something, but stopped himself and asked in surprise: "Is it really Xiaoyong Camp?"
"There will be no lies. Except for the brave camp, no one can hide from our scouts. If they hadn't opened their mouths, I wouldn't have noticed that there were people hiding around me. This kind of army... is really scary..." Zhang Liao said
, let out a long sigh, Zhao Yun still couldn't believe it, he asked: "How did they get here from Guishang? Why not go to Xiting? Xizhou??"
Zhang Liao didn't answer. After a while, Zhao Yun finally came to his senses, pursed his lips, and had a little more admiration in his eyes. What exactly they had gone through when they got here from Guishang, Zhao Yun didn't dare to think about the land outside the Great Wall in front of them.
, snow-capped fields, countless mountains and jungles, a group of people set out from Guishang, evaded pursuit all the way, climbed over mountains and ridges, crossed beyond the Great Wall, and rushed to the vicinity of Liangzhou... This... Zhao Yun felt that he might not be able to do it.
One step at a time, one blood seal at a time.
On the other side, Lu Yi led these people towards Liangzhou. He kept looking at these three soldiers from the heroic camp. Even among the Han army, they still looked very uneasy and looked at them from time to time.
They often didn't see anyone around them, but they could detect movement and quickly reminded Lu Yi that there was someone ahead. Then, a herdsman appeared in front of Lu Yi and others. This ability deeply impressed Lu Yi.
"Captain..." one of them shouted in fear.
Lu Yi looked at him and said, "What are your orders?"
"I just wanted to ask, what year is it now?"
"Twenty years of Xiping."
"Twenty years..." The man muttered to himself in a daze, and it took him a long time to recover. Lu Yi was speechless. He knew that the expedition to Guishuang was in the 14th year of Xiping... that is to say
, these people have just arrived here after five or six years of trekking. Lu Yi didn't dare to think about how they got here. It must be a cruel thing. In the fourteenth year of Xiping, that
He was just a child at that time.
He sent a few soldiers to ride back to Liangzhou and inform the governor of the situation here.
When Lu Yi led his people to the border of Liangzhou, he saw a group of officials from a distance, waiting at the border. Lu Yi got off his horse and asked the three warriors to walk at the front of the team, walking towards those people.
When they went, Mao Jie, the governor of Liangzhou, saw them, and also saw the rough men walking in front, who were frightened. They were bearded and skinny, and they were constantly looking around.
When he just heard the news, Mao Jie was really shocked. There was still someone alive in the Xiaoyong Battalion. He knew how much the emperor cared about this army. The emperor had never forgotten this hatred. There were still people in the army.
There were often calls to conquer Guishuang and destroy the country. Mao Jie first sent people to inform officials from various places in Liangzhou to prepare them to welcome the warriors. He also personally brought many officials from Liangzhou to welcome them.
Mao Jie stood at the front, and Lu Yi arrived with his people.
Those people were about to salute, but Mao Jie quickly stopped them.
"Mao Jie, the governor of Liangzhou, respectfully welcomes the heroes back to the country."
Mao Jie saluted them and said.
The three people were stunned for a long time, their eyes gradually became moist, and they asked tremblingly: "Are we home?"
"Exactly, this is the territory of Liangzhou, the land of the Han Dynasty."
"We're home... we're home..."
Seeing these three people kneeling on the ground, kissing the ground, crying bitterly, many officials and soldiers were silent, no one came to laugh at them, everyone was silent, Mao Jie and Lu Yi stepped forward,
He helped them up and returned to Guzang County. Along the way, officials came to greet them and pay homage to them, as did the common people. However, the common people could not remember so much. They did not know what Xiaoyong Camp was. They followed the officials to greet them, but there were no officials.
They were so excited and beside themselves.
They rested in Guzang County for two days before heading towards Sili. The news was spread to Luoyang. The emperor, who was reviewing the memorial in the Hall of Houde, heard the report from Hanmen.
, jumped up, widened his eyes, and asked: "Xiaoyong Camp?? Are they still alive??"
"The country has returned four people. One of them died of illness on the way, leaving three people behind."
"Okay! Okay! Just come back!" The emperor was particularly excited. He ordered: "Inform Gongsun Xiaowei immediately. In addition, tell Hua Xiong and let him be responsible for welcoming him. Also, tell the people of Luoyang what to say.
To explain their deeds, when they enter Luoyang, everyone should go to greet them!! Also, bring Cao Cao to me!!" Han Men immediately ran out and got busy.
Gongsun Zan was sitting in his mansion, looking a little decadent and confused.
His son Gongsun Xu accompanied him and gave him medicine. The tiger general became increasingly weak. Since the Battle of Kushan, he had completely changed. He sat in his mansion all day, dazed.
In a daze, he didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes were dull, and he didn't speak. Gongsun Xu took the medicine bit by bit and asked, "Father, do you need me to take you for a walk outside?"
Gongsun Zan didn't reply and still sat like this.
Gongsun Xu had no choice but to say nothing more. Gongsun Xu had the same resolute face as his father, a tall body, and courage. At such an age, he should have been a rising star in the Northern and Southern armies. But after his father fell ill, he has been
Accompanying Gongsun Zan, he did not join the army or go to military training, but he got a filial piety. The two were sitting when there was a knock on the door, and Gongsun Xu hurriedly opened the door.
Outside the door was an eunuch with a happy face and asked with a smile: "Is Captain Gongsun here?"
Gongsun Xu nodded doubtfully, and led him into the front yard, and came to Gongsun Zan's side. The eunuch said: "The Emperor has an edict, and ordered the school captain Gongsun Zan and the school captain Hua Xiong to follow the Sili school captain seven days later to welcome the heroes of the brave camp."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gongsun Zan, who had been stunned, suddenly turned his head, stared at him, and asked hoarsely: "What did you say?"
"There are still surviving warriors in the brave camp. They are back. They are now in Liangzhou... and will soon return to Luoyang..."
"Xu'er! Xu'er! Xu'er!!" Gongsun Zan called his son hurriedly. Gongsun Xu quickly ran to his father's side. Gongsun Zan took his hand and asked tremblingly: "They are back! They are still alive.
!!Help me up, help me up!!!" Gongsun Xu hurriedly helped him up. Gongsun Zan gritted his teeth and staggered to the side of the eunuch, took the edict from his hand, and looked at it carefully.
.
He suddenly laughed, but his laughter was mixed with tears.
"Xu'er! Prepare meat and wine. I can't let them see me like this. There are still seven days left. Give me medicine!!!"
Seven days later, Hua Xiong was just about to go out when he saw two people riding a white horse, galloping towards him. Hua Xiong was stunned, and the person leading him was none other than Gongsun Zan. Gongsun Zan was wearing armor, riding a horse, and his waist was high.
He was equipped with a long sword and a strong bow on his back, as if he was about to go into battle. Looking at his appearance, Hua Xiong asked somewhat dullly: "Xiaoyong Colonel...are you back?"
"I'm back!!"
The group of people hurried to the greeting place and arrived at the border of Sili near Liangzhou. They were waiting here. Gongsun Zan looked solemnly into the distance, motionless. Everyone was also infected by him, and they were all extremely solemn. Gradually,
A figure appeared in the distance. At the front, there were four soldiers, carrying the body of one person, slowly walking towards here. Gongsun Zan could see clearly that the man was wrapped in the flag of the Xiaoyong Camp.
.
Gongsun Zan was trembling all over. At that moment, he let out a sharp cry, waved his whip, and the horse rushed past quickly. Hua Xiong and others were shocked, but on the opposite side, the soldiers walking in front saw
A knight rushed over quickly, still a little nervous, but he didn't expect that the soldiers of the brave camp around him seemed to be possessed. After they saw the white horse, they went a little crazy.
Gongsun Zan galloped in front of them, jumped off his horse, threw away the reins, and rushed over. The three of them also rushed over. When they met, the four of them hugged each other, and Gongsun Zan called their names.
, howling loudly, the four of them cried and shouted, but none of them wanted to let go of each other. Hua Xiong looked at this scene, and a rare sadness appeared on his face. No one disturbed their meeting.
Gongsun Zan asked Gongsun Xu to hand over the white horse he had brought to them. He took the head and let everyone ride on the white horse. He walked to the dead military lord and picked him up. With Gongsun Xu's help, he
Embracing this man, the two sat on the horse. Gongsun Zan held the military lord in one hand and carried the brave flag in the other, leading the crowd and setting off towards Luoyang in a mighty manner.
As he walked on the road, he was greeted by officials and greeted by the people with cheers.
After Gongsun Zan arrived, these people immediately changed. They were no longer panicked or afraid. They straightened their bodies, followed Gongsun Zan, and tightened their grip on the long sword at their waists.
The brave camp is always ready to fight. We are fearless and we are capable of anything.
Live up to its name,
us,
It is the most courageous military force of the Han Dynasty.
