Chapter 46: Peach Blossoms
The sun was setting in the west, and the battle between Cao Cao's army and LΓΌ Bu's army was almost over.
After more than 100 battles, Zhang Liao was finally captured by Xu Chu because of exhaustion. In addition, Hao Meng was beheaded by Le Jin, while Hou Cheng was killed by Dian Wei, and the rest of the generals such as Zang Ba, Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Cheng Lian all fled in defeat.
Zhao Yun fought alone against Lu Bu at first, but after more than thirty years, Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren rushed to help. Even if Lu Bu is brave in the world, Zhao Yun's martial arts are also amazing, and Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren are also brave generals with good strength, and Lu Bu can't win the first and third after all, so he is defeated.
In today's battle, the number of Lu Bu's army killed more than 7,000, nearly 6,000 surrendered, and less than 2,000 alive. The number of Cao Jun's casualties was about 3,600, and Cao Hong was defeated.
The remnants of Lu Bu's army did not enter Puyang City, but directly chose to break through and flee from Yanzhou. As for where LΓΌ Bu fled with the remnants of his army, it was not Cao Cao's concern now. No matter who you go to harm, anyway, as long as you don't come to harm me, besides, with the defeated remnants of Lu Bu's hands now, what storms can you make.
The next day, after burying Cao Hong in Puyang City and holding a grand funeral for him, Cao Cao ordered Yu to lead 10,000 people to guard Puyang, and he took the rest of the men and horses back to Dongjun.

In the past few days, Gao Shun's life has been very comfortable, and it can even be described as comfortable.
The only thing that made him a little unhappy was the incident that Guo Cui mentioned to him that night about the violation of nurse Feng. The chief who had assaulted her was later found out to have been killed in the battle for the defense of the city that night, and a dead man could no longer punish him. In the end, Gao Shun ordered compensation for Feng's three golds, and set aside a fairly good field for her family on the outskirts of Dongjun City, which can be regarded as an end to that violation.
This kind of compensation can be regarded as quite generous, three taels of gold plus a piece of land, for civilians almost a lifetime can not be used, and even some poor nurse girls have the idea of "why didn't I encounter this kind of thing".
Then Gao Shun clearly added military regulations, where a soldier in the army, if there is a daily harassment of a nurse girl, the first offender will be given 20 canes, and the number of canes for the second offender will be doubled; If they are violated, they will be beheaded for the first offense and beheaded for the second offense.
If it is a sturdy general, he may be able to withstand it, but for ordinary soldiers, this is almost equivalent to beating people to death. Rather than die with a rod, it is better to be beheaded, at least the latter is still happy. As soon as these punishment regulations came out, all the soldiers immediately understood that those nurses were not given by the general to give them a reward, and they all had a lot of rules. After all, no matter how good a woman is, she can't be better than her own life, right?
Except for the nurse, which made Gao Shun feel a little bothered, he had a very relaxed time the rest of the time.
These days, Guo Cui, the little girl, always runs to herself when she has nothing to do, and her attitude towards herself is no longer fierce, and she doesn't feel disgusted by calling her Xiao Cui'er.
"This girl, can't she like me?" Gao Shun is not a dull person, and Guo Cui's changes made him feel a little throbbing in his heart.
Gao Shun is twenty-three years old this year, but he is still single, and he himself has long wanted to find a girl to end his virgin career, but he is not interested in the feudal arranged marriage that the matchmaker said is compatible. As for the romantic place of the Qinglou, Gao Shun didn't want to go there to play, but he didn't plan to dedicate his first time there.
Guo Jia is dignified by nature, and he will naturally not go to Fengyue places. When he first got acquainted with Gao Shun, Guo Jia also blindly seduced Gao Shun to go with him. Gao Shun was almost moved by the words several times, but finally rejected Guo Jia's invitation under a fierce psychological struggle. repeated invitations were politely declined, and over time, Guo Jia no longer invited Gao Shun to go to the Qinglou.
"I haven't married a wife in my twenties, and I don't want to go to the land of Fengyue anyway, is Changgong not going to do it?" When Guo Jia unsuccessfully invited Gao Shun for the last time, such obscene thoughts appeared in his heart. If Gao Shun perceives his thoughts, he will definitely cry out. Isn't he just a little more upright, and he needs to slander me like this?
And now Gao Shun finds that Guo Cui may have a good impression of him, and he can't help but feel a little fluttering in his heart. You must know that Guo Cui's attitude towards himself at the beginning can be described as extremely bad, and he scolded him at every turn, and even did not hesitate to violate the ancient precept that men and women should not kiss each other, and added fists and kicks to himself. When a fierce girl appears in front of her with a well-behaved attitude, as a man will always have more or less pride.
And Gao Shun himself has no bad feelings for Guo Cui, and it seems that there is also a bit of a favorite factor in it. Gao Shun himself is also a little strange about this, every time he faces Guo Cui, he is either scolded or beaten, how can he feel like him, can it be said that he has a factor of liking masochism in his blood? But no matter what, if you can really marry Guo Cui back, it seems to be a good thing. And in this way, Guo Jiake has become his brother-in-law.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
"Gao Changgong, how are your injuries doing?" Guo Cui has spent more time with Gao Shun in the past few days, and his attitude has been a lot more cordial, at least from the change in title, it can be seen that Guo Cui has always called Gao Shun a hooligan or a scoundrel in the past.
Guo Cui used to have a bad feeling for Guo Jia because Gao Shun had been looking for drinks with him, so he subjectively decided that he must be a mediocre person. However, when he saw the heroic spirit exuded by Gao Shun on the city tower, and later heard from the guards that Gao Shun and Lu Bu fought hundreds of battles and finally lost both, Gao Shun's status in his mind suddenly soared a lot.
Although the words of the defenders exaggerated the original truth several times, at least in terms of the result, Gao Shun and Lu Bu were both defeated, which is indeed true. How could Guo Cui not have heard of Lu Bu's reputation, and he would not have any doubts about his strength. And Gao Shun was able to tie with Lu Bu, so he was naturally an invincible hero in the world. Most women, especially a young girl of Guo Cui's age, have always admired heroes. In this way, Gao Shun firmly occupied a position in Guo Cui's mind.
"It's really worthy of my brother, and his eyes are accurate!" Guo Cui had long forgotten how he had disdained Guo Jia's praise of Gao Shun before.
Of course, it doesn't mean that the two have developed to the point of intimacy, at least if Guo Cui agrees to marry Gao Shun, Gao Shun himself can't do it if he doesn't work hard.
"Don't worry, it's been fine for a long time, and now even if you want to use force with people, it's absolutely fine." Gao Shun smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Cui'er, we are so familiar with each other, you don't have to be so angry, just call me Brother Gao." β
Guo Cui took a sip and said, "Shameless guy, who would call you that?" Besides, why is the relationship between me and you so familiar? β
But as soon as he finished speaking, Guo Cui's cheeks immediately flushed with two blushes.
Looking at Guo Cui's shy appearance, Gao Shun couldn't help but be a little intoxicated, why didn't he find out that this little girl could be so charming before?
