Chapter 44 Closing Gaoshun
Guan Yu drew his sword and slammed into the young man's blade, sparks flying. The young man was shocked by the force from the sword last time, staggered back a few steps, stood firm, and slashed towards Guan Yu again.
This person is also considered to have some martial arts, but he is not Guan Yu's opponent after all, the young man is desperate to fight for more than 20 rounds, Guan Yu's long sword swings away from the young man's sword blade, and stabs straight at the young man's face.
"Be merciful!" Zhao Yi stopped Guan Yu with a drink, the death of the young loved one lost his mind, and it was normal for him to do something exciting.
Hearing this, Guan Yu swept the blade of the sword across the young man's cheek, kicked the young man aside, and retreated with a cold snort.
After the young man stood up, he did not attack Zhao Yi and the others. Instead, the sword sat on his knees and wept bitterly.
Zhao Yi took two steps forward, but was stopped by Liu Bei: "Bolai, this person has lost his mind, you must not step forward." ”
Gently breaking free of Liu Bei's shackles, Zhao Yi came to the young man without any scruples: "This brother, a person from your mansion, was not killed by us. ”
The young man said hoarsely, "I know. My family was killed by spears and spears, and you used swords, and my brother fought with me mostly to parry, and he did not intend to take my life. "If the murderer does it, he will definitely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and the young man will be safe.
This young man is really not simple, and his observation at such a moment is so meticulous, Zhao Yi looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground for a while: "Brother Tai, your surname? ”
"Gao Shun." After Gao Shun answered, he turned his head and walked into the house to collect the bodies of his parents.
Zhao Yi muttered a few words of Gao Shun's name, and then his eyes lit up: "It turned out to be him!" Zhao Yi's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth showed joy.
Gao Shun is unknown, but his strength is extraordinary. In the future, the Zhonglang generals under Lu Bu led thousands of people into the camp, with strict military discipline and brave combat, invincible in attack, and a rare general. It's a pity that Lu Bu didn't know how to be loyal and didn't need it, and was finally killed by Cao Cao along with Lu Bu.
Gao Shun buried his family in the courtyard with his own hands and knelt in front of the mound. Zhao Yi and Liu Bei's soldiers wanted to expel them, but they were stopped by Zhao Yi: "Let him go." The order went down, and our soldiers buried the villagers alive. The soldier answered.
Gao Shun was silent for a quarter of an hour, but his hand was clutching the long sword, and his eyes were gloomy. got up suddenly, came to Zhao Yi and Liu Bei and knelt down on one knee: "I beg my lord to lend me a thousand soldiers and horses to avenge my parents." ”
Liu Bei's three brothers glanced at each other and were silent, Gao Shun and the three of them met for the first time, and Gao Shun borrowed a thousand soldiers and horses as soon as he opened his mouth. Liu Bei didn't want his soldiers to die, so he didn't speak. Even if you want to fight the Yellow Turban Army, you will be led by your own generals, and you will never let Gao Shun lead the troops. At this moment, Gao Shun's relatives are newly mourned, and he vows to raise troops to take revenge. Putting soldiers in the hands of such emotionally radical generals is a taboo for soldiers.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei expressed sympathy for Gao Shun's plight, but marching and fighting is not revenge for the rivers and lakes, and it can easily be the life and death of hundreds of people.
Seeing that Liu Bei and the others did not answer, Gao Shun stared at Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi nodded: "Bloody, a man." Do you know who the enemy is? ”
"A group of yellow turban thieves in the nearby Cuihuan Mountain, came here a few days ago, and the surrounding villages were bloodbathed, I rushed back to the village when I heard the news, who would have thought that it was still a step too late." Saying that, Gao Shun hammered the ground hard. "The number of the Yellow Turban Army is 800, and I am sure of victory."
Zhao Yi naturally knew that Gao Shun had this strength: "Okay, our trip is also to kill the Yellow Turban thief, I can lend you a thousand soldiers and horses." ”
Gao Shun bowed and bowed: "Thank you, sir." Zhao Yi didn't have the slightest hesitation and handed over all the soldiers and horses to Gao Shun to command, Gao Shun turned his eyes and asked Zhao Yi: "My lord, you handed over the soldiers to me, so relieved?" In the unlikely event that my defeat leads to the annihilation of the entire army, I am afraid that you will not be able to explain to the imperial court. ”
Helping Gao Shun up, Zhao Yi glanced at Gao Shun: "In that situation just now, you still have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, which shows that you are a reasonable person." I'm relieved that the soldiers are handed over to you. I'm sure you'll win. ”
Gao Shun was very moved by these words, and when he met Zhao Yi for the first time, he put his heart into himself, and Gao Shun had nothing to say at this time so he had to nod heavily.
Gao Shun got the military power and immediately sent the army to Cuihuan Mountain, and the army quickly disappeared into the night, and only the sound of footsteps that were gradually moving away could be faintly heard in the darkness.
Liu Bei watched the army leave, and grabbed Zhao Yi, who wanted to enter the village: "Brother Bolai, your move is too reckless. According to what you say, even if Gao Shun is a reasonable person, it does not mean that he can lead troops to fight. Liu Bei advised Zhao Yi that the army had been dispatched for a short time at this time, and it was still too late to send a fast horse to give the order.
Unlike Liu Bei's panicked and uneasy expression, Zhao Yi's face was light and light: "Brother Xuande, don't panic, wait and see." I dare to bet with Xuande that Gao Shun will break the Yellow Turban Thief. ”
Liu Bei sighed and said that Zhao Yi was angry. Eliminate the Yellow Turban thieves Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and you can do it. Why did Zhao Yi use Gao Shun, a person who had never led troops.
Back in the camp, Liu Bei paced in the camp tent to recruit Zhang Fei: "Yide, you lead a thousand soldiers and horses from your headquarters at the foot of Cuihuan Mountain, if Gao Shun fails, you can help quickly." ”
"Big brother, this matter is Zhao Yi's willfulness, why should you and I care about him. just took advantage of this incident to kill Zhao Yi's arrogance. Zhang Fei had a very bad impression of Zhao Yi. I suffered two big losses on Zhao Yi, and I have been hoping that Zhao Yi will fall on a big heel, but unfortunately Zhao Yi is resourceful and can do everything with divine help, and the opportunity that Zhang Fei has been waiting for has not come. This incident happened to be an opportunity, Zhang Fei really wanted to see what Zhao Yi's expression was when he failed.
How could Liu Bei not know Zhang Fei's intentions: "Third brother, at this moment, our department and Zhao Yi are united, if we watch the Yellow Turban Thief defeat Zhao Yi's department, the loss is not our overall strength, when we arrive in Yingchuan, how should we fight the enemy?" ”
Under Liu Bei's repeated requests, Zhang Fei nodded reluctantly, bowed down and walked out of the camp tent, just wanting to call his soldiers to gather troops. The heralds sent by Zhao Yi arrived in Liu Bei's camp.
"General, my lord said that he had already led his troops to respond, please don't worry about it."
Liu Bei called Zhang Fei into the camp tent to revoke the order just now, and with Zhao Yi leading the army to respond, Liu Bei was much more relieved. However, Liu Bei was a little strange, since Zhao Yi was not worried about Gao Shun, why did he let Gao Shun lead his troops to the expedition? Wouldn't it be better to lead your own troops to exterminate them?
Cuihuan Mountain is less than thirty miles away from this village, and Zhao Yi's command is all light horses. Zhao Yi, who followed Gao Shun, came to the foot of Cuihuan Mountain in less than an hour.
The night rendered the originally green branches and leaves black, and Gao Shun and the others had already gone up for a quarter of an hour, without making a sound at all.
Zhao Yi led the army to wait at the foot of the mountain for half an hour, the mountain was still quiet and abnormal, if Zhao Yi hadn't come to see if Gao Shun had real talent and learning, I am afraid that he would have brought the soldiers to kill the generals at this time.
The soldier next to him, who was paying close attention to the movement on the mountain, greeted Zhao Yi: "My lord, look! ”
Halfway up the mountain, there was a little firelight, like the glow of fireflies compared to the night. The two clearly divided torch teams held each other for nearly a quarter of an hour, and the other team seemed to be defeated, and fled hurriedly down the hill, while the group of men and horses behind them were in hot pursuit.
The chaotic sound of horses' hooves came from the mountain road, and they were about to arrive in front of him, and the soldiers next to Zhao Yi were all ready for battle, and their spears were all outside, waiting for Zhao Yi's order to rush over.
At this moment, there was a deafening shout of killing, followed by the crisp sound of the blades clashing, and the screams of people being wounded and falling to the ground.
Zhao Yi looked at Cuihuan Mountain: "Put away all the blades, let's go back to the camp." ”
A hundred commanders were a little strange about Zhao Yi's order, at this time the fierce battle of Cuihuan Mountain was in full swing, and at this time, people who knew a little bit about military affairs would order the soldiers to rush over and attack the enemy unprepared. But the lord ordered a retreat. He bowed down and stood up: "My lord, at this time, the fierce battle on the mountain is in full swing, shouldn't we send reinforcements?" ”
"Gao Shun has won this battle, and there is no need for reinforcements from our department." Zhao Yi explained, and ordered the soldiers to return to the camp again.
Sure enough, not an hour after Zhao Yi led the army back, Gao Shun led the army back to the village, carrying the head of the leader of the yellow scarf to the courtyard, and the gray and yellow homespun clothes were stained with blood.
Liu Bei hurriedly came out to watch when he learned that Gao Shun had returned from victory, and Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers had lost more than 80 people, but they had defeated a thousand yellow turban thieves, and looked at the heads hanging on the back of the soldiers' horses, which were more than 400. The soldiers were followed by a group of dejected Yellow Turban captives.
Only then did Liu Bei know that Gao Shun was actually a general, and his tactical command ability was really extraordinary, if he wanted to achieve great things, wouldn't this person be a good helper?
hurriedly walked into the courtyard and saw Gao Shun kneeling in front of Zhao Yi: "This revenge is all up to the help of adults." The villain's closest relatives are all dead, and there is nothing left to worry about except the kindness of adults. If the adults don't dislike it, I will follow the adults in the future. I will not be afraid of any hardships and dangers, and I will fight on the battlefield for adults until I am killed. Well, this tragic fate is over. ”
Liu Bei's beard shook when he heard Gao Shun's words, and when this person said this, I am afraid that it will be difficult to shake his heart with gold and silver status. Zhao Yi got another capable leader.
Zhao Yi hurriedly helped Gao Shun up: "Brother Gao Shun, you are too sad. "Time is the medicine that heals all wounds, and after three or five years, Gao Shun's sad emotions will fade a lot.
"Do you think Gao Shun's martial arts are lowly and don't want to take him in?" Gao Shun stared at Zhao Yi closely, he was self-aware of his martial arts Gao Shun, although Guan Yu defeated Gao Shun in more than twenty rounds tonight. But Guan Yu just parried and didn't fight back, if he counterattacked, I'm afraid Gao Shun wouldn't be able to go more than a dozen rounds under Guan Yu.
"With Brother Gao Shun's help, I will achieve great things, how can I dislike it." Zhao Yi hurriedly explained, "How do you feel about the soldiers you brought today?" ”
"Well trained and disciplined." Gao Shun told the truth, from a hunter to a general in an instant, Gao Shun was still a little worried that these soldiers under him would disobey him, but he didn't expect that those soldiers did not laugh, and there were no people who did not obey orders, which surprised Gao Shun.
Zhao Yi nodded: "Okay, in the future, you will be the leader of this team." ”
