17. Chinese military escort

When Yuan Xi's army marched to the junction of Youzhou and Jizhou, a strong man blocked the way and asked, "Is it Youzhou Yuan Thorn History?" Yuan Xi saw that this big man was not like an ordinary person, and replied: "I am Yuan Xi, the assassin of Youzhou, I don't know who the strong man is, what is the so-called thing about me?" The strong man replied without humility: "A certain Gao Shun, I heard that General Yuan was crusading against Cao Cao, and waited here for a long time, so I came to join the general." Yuan Xi was not surprised by Gao Shun's words, but felt that the name Gao Shun was a little familiar.

Xun Zhan knew that Yuan Xi was puzzled by Gao Shun, and explained: "Before, there was a general under Wen Hou's account, also named Gao Shun, who led the trap camp to be invincible, and he was very powerful. However, being executed by Cao Cao in front of the gate of the White Mansion along with Lu Bu and Chen Gong should be just a coincidence. After listening to Xun Zhan's words, Yuan Xi understood that Lu Bu had taken refuge in Yuan Shao back then, no wonder he had a little impression of the name Gao Shun. Although he didn't believe that this Gao Shun was that Gao Shun, he still joked to Gao Shun: "This general welcomes the Gao Shun brothers to join, I hope you work hard and can also create a team comparable to the trapped camp!" ”

As soon as he said the word trapped camp, Gao Shun's expression changed subtly, as if he was recalling something, and then he was lonely and helpless for a while, shook his head, and muttered to himself: "The brothers are gone, and there will be no more trapped camp." Even if it was very quiet, Yuan Xi had already seen some of the past from Gao Shun's expression, and stepped forward to comfort: "Since the past is unbearable, let it be buried in the memory and look forward, you have joined us, you are our brother." Yuan Xi turned around, pointed to the army behind him and said loudly, "They are also your brothers." You say don't you? The soldiers stood up and shouted, brother, brother, and suddenly the morale was high. Xu Shu also admired Yuan Xi's methods, which not only won the hearts of the people, but also improved morale.

Gao Shun bowed down, Yuan Xi was much stronger than his brother Yuan Tan, and it was really worthy of his reputation, and he said sincerely: "Thank you for the general's guidance, I still have a companion, can the general wait and take it in together?" Yuan Xi also nodded patiently and ordered the army to be stationed in place. The generals didn't understand why Yuan Xi was so enthusiastic and patient with a person who had just taken refuge, which might delay the trip, Xun Zhan was most familiar with Yuan Xi, in order to convince everyone, he told the allusion of King Yan Zhao looking for a thousand miles, and immediately understood how polite and virtuous the lord was. Yuan Xi shook his head, thinking that Xun Zhan thought too well of himself, Yuan Xi just habitually respected others.

When Gao Shun walked up to Yuan Xi with a white and quiet boy, he introduced: "This is a junior in my family, I heard that General Yuan Lixian is a corporal, and I really want to join the army." I'm just afraid that you will look down on him for being thin, so I asked me to come and explore the wind first, hoping that the general can also take him in. "What kind of vision is Yuan Xi, he naturally sees that this Bai Jing boy should be a woman wearing men's clothes, and he is not broken, after all, this Gao Shun looks heroic and extraordinary, maybe it is really Gao Shun under Lu Bu's account, so isn't this woman Lu Bu's daughter? It seems that Lu Bu does have a daughter, well, first include them in the team, and then go to Jizhou to do the theory.

After many days of trekking, Yuan Xi finally arrived at his destination, Jizhou. After arranging the affairs of the army, Yuan Xi invited Xu Shu, Xun Zhan and Sun Li, as well as Gao Shun and the two of them to shout to their own mansion to ask. Yuan Xi said his conjecture straight to the point: "If I guess it's right, Brother Gao Shun should be the number one general under Wen Hou's account back then, right?" Before everyone could react, he pointed to the white boy and said, "This should be Wenhou's daughter, right?" The two were shocked, especially Lu Qiling, who was also recognized by herself as a man. Gao Shun replied: "Yuan Thorn is like a god, and Gao admires it." Gao Shun knew that everyone didn't understand why he was still alive, so who died back then?

It turned out that when Cao Cao's troops besieged Xuzhou for a long time, Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao would definitely not let him go, so he ordered Gao Shun to take Lu Qiling to secretly leave from the dark passage, and he found a similar person to replace Gao Shun. When Lu Bu was defeated and arrested, Lu Bu pretended to be greedy for life and afraid of death, Chen Gong and Zhang Liao scolded loudly to attract Cao Cao's attention, only Gao Shun didn't say a word, afraid that he would leak his mouth, in that chaotic situation, even if the beheaded person was not Gao Shun, no one found out. So, Gao Shun took Lu Qiling to Qingzhou, and later felt that Lu Qiling was a girl, and it was inconvenient to take care of her, so she dressed up as a young student.

originally wanted to go to Yuan Tan, but he Yuan Tan was so happy and very mean to others, so he gave up this idea, temporarily hid in Qingzhou, and waited for the limelight to see if he could contact Zhang Liao and find a safe place for the master, so as not to miss the lord's trust. Later, I heard that Yuan Xi of Youzhou subdued Montenegro, was benevolent and loved the people, and was a corporal of courtesy, so he was ready to go to Youzhou to take refuge, maybe he could take revenge for the Lord. As soon as I arrived at the border of Qingzhou, I heard that Yuan Tingshi had led his men and horses to Jizhou, and he pursued all the way, just in time.

After listening to Gao Shun's story, he finally understood why Gao Shun didn't say a word back then, and why Cao Cao accepted Zhang Liao, but did not persuade Lu Bu to surrender the first general, it turned out to be fake. Yuan Xi asked, "Then General Gao took refuge in me just because he wanted me to help you avenge and deal with Cao Cao?" Gao Shun replied: "It is naturally best to deal with Cao Cao and avenge Wen Hou, and I defected to the general mainly to complete the trust of Wen Hou and find a safe place for the little master." "General Gao is really a loyal and trustworthy person, since you believe in me so much, I have agreed to your request, as for Cao Cao, I will also be destroyed." Gao Shun even knelt down and thanked him, willing to charge into battle for Yuan Xi and never give up. Everyone congratulated their lord and the general, Xu Shu saw Gao Shun's loyalty, and proposed: Lord, I suggest that General Gao Shun serve as the guard of the Chinese army, General Gao Shun's camp is famous, with such army protection, the lord can be foolproof, and we can also work for the lord with peace of mind! ”

Yuan Xi accepted Xu Shu's suggestion, and Gao Shun was indeed the best candidate for the Chinese army's guard, taciturn and loyal to his duties. Gao Shun was even more grateful to Yuan Xi for his trust, regained his confidence, and then trained strong soldiers, as for Lu Qiling, he first served as his own personal soldier, and then arranged her to the house when he returned to Youzhou. For such an arrangement, Lu Qiling did not refuse, as if she had made up her mind, with a trace of hatred in her eyes, she gritted her teeth and knelt down at Yuan Xi and said, "Qi Ling is grateful to be taken in by Yuan Gongzi." If Childe can avenge my father, Qi Ling is willing to be a cow and a horse and serve Childe. Yuan Xi respects women the most, and in this era of low status of women, he is still like this, and stepped forward to help Lu Qiling: "Don't worry, girl, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will naturally destroy Cao Cao, you are free, you don't have to be my slave!" ”
