Chapter 103: Return
Gan Ning rushed all the way to the edge of the swamp, turned over and dismounted and ran to Hua Wenxuan, the blood stains and smoky ash stains on his face had not yet had time to be wiped away.
"How's Brother Wenxuan! How did you get an arrow? It's all right, right? Gan Ning looked Hua Wenxuan's body up and down anxiously, and Zhang Liao couldn't help but say perfunctorily: "I know, I know that you and Wenxuan are brothers, I don't know, I think the two of you are good at Longyang!" ”
The goodness of this Longyang is Gan Ning's heart disease a long time ago, and when he mentions it at this moment, he still feels that he should respond, and he can't help but wave his hand and say: "General Wenyuan, don't be kidding, I'll run over with a little eyebrows over there, there are countless dead bodies all the way, and there are dead people floating on the water, I'm really afraid of finding my brother inside!" ”
"And how did you get all the way here?" Zhang Liao asked.
Gan Ning waved his hand and pointed behind him, "I just caught a general of Yuan Shao on the road, and I knew that Brother Wenxuan was still alive, and he went straight all the way!" ”
"General?" Hua Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, "Did Brother Xingba catch Gao Lan?" ”
Gan Ning beckoned the people behind him to bring the captive up, and sure enough, it was Gao Lan. Now this Gao Ran's face has long lost his arrogance, and his face is like ashes, and he is pushed and shoved by the soldiers on the left and right to Hua Wenxuan.
When He Yan saw Gao Ran, he was so emotional that he wanted to stand up, and he picked up the Qingyu sword on his waist and was about to cut it over, but the arrow wound had not yet healed, so he stumbled and fell into Hua Wenxuan's arms, "Kill him!" Kill him! He Yan looked at Gao Lan and reprimanded softly.
Gao Ran looked disdainful and looked at Zhang He on the side, "It's so fast!" Loosened here? Yuan Gong treats you well, how can you change the door so quickly? ”
Zhang He turned his face away and ignored Gao Ran.
Hua Wenxuan supported He Yan, came to Zhang He, and arched his hand gently, "General Zhang, don't blame me, this Gao Ran shot me with cold arrows three times and twice, but each is his master, Wen Xuan doesn't blame him, but Sun Shangxiang is Wen Xuan's closest relative, if you can't slash this person, Wen Xuan will have no face to live in the world anymore, please forgive General Zhang!" ”
Zhang He twisted his face, as if he couldn't bear it, Gao Ran interjected: "Each is his master on the battlefield, now that he has been tied up, Gao Ran has surrendered, there is no need to ......."
Gan Ning, who was on the side, was quick and grabbed Gao Ran's throat, so that he couldn't make a sound. Gan Ning looked at Hua Wenxuan, Hua Wenxuan instantly understood his intentions, and without waiting for Zhang He to reply, he turned around and pulled out the green sword in He Yan's waist, which directly penetrated Gao Lan's left chest.
Gao Ran struggled to speak, but unfortunately his hands were tied behind his back, but his throat was pinched by Gan Ning, and he couldn't make a sound at all, and now only blood gushed out of his mouth, and Gan Ning's hand flowed down his chin.
It wasn't until it was confirmed that Gao Ran was completely out of breath that Gan Ning let go of his bloodstained hand, rubbed it vigorously on Gao Ran's body, and took a sip, "Please surrender when you die, what a hero!" ”
He Yan saw Gao Lan Fufa, and remembered Sun Shangxiang again, turned around and came to Sun Shangxiang's body, and fell on the ground crying with pear blossoms and rain.
Zhang He also sighed helplessly for a while, Zhang Liao prepared his troops and horses, escorted the prisoners, and marched all the way east with everyone.
I went straight until midnight, and I saw the Yanjin ferry in the distance.
A horse had already reported to Cao Pi's camp, Guo Jia led Xiahou Yuan and Le Jin, raised troops out of the camp for a mile, and received Hua Wenxuan and others, who were already exhausted.
Guo Jia led Hua Wenxuan to Cao Pi's big tent, and Hua Wenxuan, who looked tired, saw Cao Pi, who was also full of fatigue, it seems that today's battle in Yanjin is not so easy.
"Wen Xuan has worked hard, this time it is very dangerous to lure the enemy, Zihuan listened to the report from the horse, there are only dozens of people left in the five thousand light horses, and there are no less than a thousand injured, fortunately Wen Xuan saved his life, otherwise Zihuan would be really ashamed!" Cao Pi strongly propped himself up and introduced Hua Wenxuan into the seat.
"Prince Zihuan is in Yanjin today, I'm afraid it's also a hard fight!" Hua Wenxuan looked at the silver armor on Cao Pi's body, and a few deep traces made people feel frightened, if it weren't for this silver armor body, I was afraid that he would lose his life.
Guo Jia poured tea for the two of them on the side, "The four camps of Yanjin Yuan Shao are interlocking, and there is a basis for advancing and retreating, it is really not easy to fight, fortunately, Gongzi Wenxuan led away Zhang He's heavy cavalry, which can ensure that the flanks of our army are unhindered, and the three armies are effective, Zihuan Gongzi moved forward bravely, and fought for nearly a day to capture this Yanjin ferry, but he ran Yuan Shao!" Although our army won the victory, it was also a big injury, Puyang tried to withdraw from the siege and rushed to pick up Yuan Shao, retreat to the white horse, presumably it should be something about Liyang! ”
Cao Pi was also full of regret, "Yuan Shao returned to Hebei, recuperated for a while, and will inevitably go south to the Central Plains, this war, I'm afraid it will be endless!" ”
Hua Wenxuan drank all the tea in front of him, and whispered: Now it is the fourth winter of Jian'an, this Yuan Shao should have died of illness in Jian'an seven years, and there are still more than two years to go, Hebei suffered this defeat, can it be relieved within two years?
"Based on Feng Xiaogong's calculations, Yuan Shao retreated to Hebei, at least how long will he have to recuperate before he can raise troops south again?" Hua Wenxuan looked at Guo Jia, "As far as Wenxuan knows, Yuan Shao's longevity is approaching, and once the dragons in Hebei are leaderless, they will inevitably be in a mess, and there will be no chance to go south!" ”
Guo Jia pondered for a moment, "There are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the four states of Hebei, but Beirong and Zhang Yan of Montenegro must not be guarded against, this time Yuan Shao lost tens of thousands of soldiers, if you want to raise the army again, I'm afraid it will take a year or two!" ”
"If that's the case, according to Wen Xuanzhi, we don't have to worry too much, because Yuan Shao's longevity is exhausted, and with the situation reported by Sima Yi, the eldest son Yuan Tan and the third son Yuan Shang will inevitably have a dispute over the matter of seizing the heir, and we just need to compete with the clam to make a profit!" Cao Pi seemed to have become much more relaxed.
When it came to Sima Yi, Hua Wenxuan became more and more unpredictable about Cao Pi's current thoughts, and always vaguely felt that Sima Yi was difficult to control, and he acted several times unwillingly, Hua Wenxuan arched his hand towards Cao Pi, "I don't know what Sima Yi is doing now?" ”
Cao Pi raised his head and smiled: "This Sima Yi is a clever character, Yuan Shao retreated to the white horse, and he invited himself to Puyang to vote for Uncle Cao Ren, saying that he borrowed more than 10,000 people from Puyang, and then gave Yuan Shao a knife, it is really a character, anyway, Zihuan has no strength now, let him go!" ”
Hua Wenxuan silently added a cup of tea to himself and Guo Jia, what did Sima Yi want to do?
Guo Jia motioned to Cao Pi and said: "Now that Yuan Shao is ready to return to Hebei, Zihuan Gongzi has been away from Xu Du for a long time, and it is time for the class teacher to return to the dynasty!" ”
Cao Pi nodded lightly.
Two days later, outside the Yanjin ferry and beside the tidal flats of the Yellow River, Hua Wenxuan, He Yan, Sun Shangxiang, and Gan Ning stood in front of Sun Shangxiang's tombstone.
He Yan hung Sun Shangxiang's short bow on the @ corner of the tombstone and kissed the tombstone affectionately.
The epitaph is engraved with a passage:
"Jiangdong Feng came to Yi, and he also looked at Nanyi. It is not convenient in the present day, and it will be accompanied by the king in the next life. ”
