Section 158: Sudden change in the wind and clouds
Zhao Yun gathered 3,000 soldiers and horses from Youzhou overnight, and without saying goodbye to anyone, he led the men and horses out of the city to the north and marched towards Youzhou.
Guan Yan ignored the persuasion of Zang Ba and the others, and chased after Zhao Yun alone.
But in a moment, Guan Yan saw Zhao Yun's men and horses clearly, and Guan Yan shouted loudly: "Zilong and slow!" ”
"Huh~~~~" Zhao Yun heard the shout, hurriedly stopped the war horse, turned around and saw that this Guan Yan was chasing alone, and his face couldn't help but flash a trace of surprise: I'm really not afraid of death!
"Zilong, if I get into Zilong's eye in the future, can Zilong help him?" Guan Yan shouted.
At the beginning, after Zhao Yun and Zang Ba rescued Guan Yan from Du Yuan, they went north alone to Gongsun Zhan, and when they parted, Guan Yan also asked each other.
However, time has passed, and Zhao Yun just felt that Guan Yan was a little decadent, so he refused. But now Zhao Yun has faced Guan Yan with his sword and torn his face. Zhao Yun didn't expect that Guan Yan would dare to chase after him alone! Still playing their own minds!
Hearing Guan Yan's question, Zhao Yun's thoughts couldn't help but go back to that night a few years ago. Zhao Yun sighed and didn't answer, and after taking a deep look at Guan Yan's figure, Zhao Yun turned the horse's head, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and continued to lead the army forward.
Guan Yan had long expected this situation, looking at Zhao Yun's gradually departing back, although he was prepared in his heart, the feeling of loneliness couldn't help but float in his heart.
Zhao Yun, the general who Guan Yan once admired, is now a stranger to himself, and he is very contradictory. It wasn't until Zhao Yun's figure gradually disappeared that Guan Yan sighed and walked towards Lingshou City alone.
The rising sun stretched Guan Yan's figure very long. The rising sun and the recovery of all things should give people the feeling of hope and vitality. But Guan Yan numbly let the horse move forward, and his elongated figure looked very lonely and dull when he threw himself on the ground.
"In the past life, he was famous, but in this life he has experienced vicissitudes. Ethereal and suspicious, angry and hateful of providence. ”
After Guan Yan closed his eyes and finished chanting a poem, he whipped his horse whip and galloped towards Lingshou City.
After three days of repair, Guan Yan's army set out for Yecheng. Guan Yan was sullen along the way because of Zhao Yun's matter, and he couldn't say a few words from morning to night.
Guan Yan's surroundings are all rough people, and Xi Zhicai is not good at words, so no one can persuade Guan Yan, and the atmosphere in the whole army is extremely dull.
Guan Yan and his entourage returned along the original road, out of Changshan, such as Zhao State, and on this day the army marched to Nanhe County of Guangping County.
It was almost evening, Guan Yan looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late today, so let's camp here!" ”
Guan Yan turned over and dismounted, patting the dust on his body. Seeing that the soldiers around him were gradually busy, Guan Yan silently walked to the side of the river and was stunned.
After the camp was set up, it was already half an hour later. At this time, a team of men and horses rushed out of Nanhe County and rushed straight to Guan Yan's camp.
"Who's coming? Hurry up! Zang Ba, who was patrolling outside the camp, waved his hand and shouted.
"Huh~~~~ Dare to ask, but the Marquis of Dongxiang?" A team of people who came over were also obedient and hurriedly asked each other.
Zang Ba replied: "Not bad! It is Hu Benlang under the command of Dongxiang Hou, who are you? ”
The pair of people and horses clenched their fists and replied: "Xia Guan is the county lieutenant under the county order of Nanhe County, and he is ordered by the county order to invite the Marquis of Dongxiang to enter the city for a banquet!" ”
"Is there any physical evidence?" Zang Ba has always been cautious, so he reached out to find the token.
The county lieutenant of Nanhe County hurriedly took out an object from his arms: "This is the seal of the county commander, and the subordinate officials are specially ordered to bring it on their bodies to prove their identity!" ”
Zang Ba checked the seal ribbon, and it was indeed true, so he turned to the side, waved his hand and said: "In this case, come with me, the evil master reads the full text." ”
Several people ran to the river and found Guan Yan.
"Lord, the county lieutenant of Nanhe County asks to see you!" When he came to the river, Zang Ba turned over and dismounted, and said with a fist at Guan Yan.
Guan Yan turned his head to look, stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks: "Let them come over!" ”
"Xiaguan Nanhe County Lieutenant meets Dongxiang Hou!"
"What?"
"The county commander heard that the Hou Ye garrison is here, and the special officer came to invite the Hou Ye into the city for a banquet!"
Guan Yan was disheartened now, and he was not in the mood at all, so he turned around and looked at the gurgling river and replied: "Go to the banquet and be exempt, you can go back!" ”
The county lieutenant was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Master Hou! Before the lower officials came, the county commander specially instructed: If the lower officials can't invite the marquis, don't go back to the city. Please also be considerate! ”
As he spoke, the county lieutenant fell to his knees.
Guan Yan was in an irritable mood, and he didn't want to see the county lieutenant so pitiful, so Guan Yan waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, lead the way ahead!" ”
The county lieutenant was overjoyed, got up hurriedly, and led the way for Guan Yan.
Nanhe County is only a small county town in Guangping, and the county government is also very dilapidated, and the county order and a group of officials stand outside the county government and wait for Guan Yan's arrival.
Seeing Guan Yan with dozens of guards urging the county government to come, the county commander hurriedly led everyone to greet him, and bowed down: "Meet the Marquis of Dongxiang!" ”
Guan Yan turned over and dismounted, and said with both hands: "Don't be polite, please get up!" ”
"Dongxiang Hou can come to this county in person, it really makes this county shine, hahaha~~~"
This county commander has red lips and white teeth, sword eyebrows and sideburns, and a very resolute complexion, although he is dressed in Confucian clothes, he has an indescribable masculinity. At first glance, when he heard that he was sloppy and patted the horse, Guan Yan was still a little uncomfortable.
"The county commander is polite!"
The county commander turned sideways and waved his big sleeves: "Please!" ”
Guan Yan gave in politely, and took the lead in entering the county office.
When he came to the county hall, the county magistrate respectfully asked Guan Yan to sit on everyone, and he retreated to sit first on his right hand.
Everyone sat down, and the county commander picked up the wine glass and said to Guan Yan with a smile: "Dongxiang Hou Desheng class, I am very happy to wait for the hundred officials of Jizhou, come, we will salute Hou Ye with a cup!" ”
When it came to victory, Guan Yan couldn't help but think of Zhao Yun, and he felt bitter in his heart. Guan Yan raised the wine bowl and drank it up.
"Bang~~" I saw that the county magistrate suddenly turned straight and slammed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground. When Guan Yan was different, he suddenly remembered a noisy footsteps outside the hall, and a group of sturdy men with short axes poured out of the hall, surrounding Guan Yan and several guards.
This Zhang Yan has secretly surrendered, Jizhou is basically peaceful, and this Nanhe county is the land of the official family, and there is no danger at all, so Guan Yan only brought dozens of relatives and guards to the banquet, how do you know that this county order is suddenly in trouble?
Guan Yan was instantly stunned, what was going on? Drop the cup? I follow the county order and have no grievances, why did he kill me?
The county commander looked at Guan Yan with a majestic look on his face and sneered: "Guan Wende, do you think this official doesn't know what you are doing?" Deceive me, no one cares about Jizhou? ”
Guan Yanqiang calmed down, glanced at the nearly 100 sword and axe hands around him, and asked quietly, "Who are you?" ”
"Guangping is frustrated!"
