Chapter 68: Returning Home
The remnants of the army were defeated.
It is definitely a remnant of the defeated army, and now there is a joy outside Shouchun City, but Gao Yun's troops seem to be out of place here.
Bring out 20,000 soldiers and horses, where can it be neat now? was so troubled by Cao Mengde, and only one of Gong Du's 20,000 soldiers remained.
Guan Hai is known as 100,000 yellow scarves, and the 70,000 or 80,000 old and young women and children have long been buried in the Jiaolong Valley, and the remaining 30,000 horses are even better and worse.
Kong Rong's thousands of soldiers and horses have been almost lost, and in order to stop Xiahou Yuan's relentless pursuit, they were assigned to Wu Anguo, and now the soldiers of Beihai City in this team are only worthy of four figures.
There were not many sparks trapped in the camp, Gao Yun left twenty people in Shouchun, and the damage of the thirty people brought out was still acceptable, counting Zhou Han, who entered the city early, and was able to survive twenty people, Gao Yun was already very satisfied.
Except for the death of Wu Anguo, the generals are well preserved. Tai Shici, Lu Lingqi, Zang Ba and others immediately stabbed one by one, their eyes were solemn, and they followed closely behind Gao Yun, waiting for the courtesy they deserved.
There is no doubt that this is a tragic battle, but it is precisely because of the existence of war that the sergeants and soldiers of the army are better screened. Now, this group of troops, which had just passed 5,000 men, held their heads high, and although their armor had been torn and their swords had been rolled, their eyes were still sharp. They survived the war, and it can be said that each has their own ability to press the box shaft, and it can be said that they are all veterans who value treasures for the princes along the way.
Yuan Shu hid his momentary displeasure and showed a smile full of spring breeze. To be honest, he was very reluctant to meet these hillbillies, but as Yuan Yao had expounded, as long as Gao Yun was alive to bring Kong Rong back, he had no reason not to meet him.
"General Gao is hard."
Gao Yun turned over and dismounted, bowed down and said: "My subordinates have not disgraced their mission, and they have been brought back by Wenju Gong, but they were attacked by Xiahou Yuanrang on the way, and their troops were damaged too much, so please punish the lord." ”
"What is General Gao's crime?" Yuan Shu helped Gao Yun up, and said hatefully: "Cao Ah deceived people too much, Zi Si rest assured, I Yuan Highway must ask him for this account back!" ”
In fact, it was all a scene, Gao Yun knew that his survival had made Yuan Shu have to admit that he was his subordinate, but what did he say to ask Cao Cao for an account, Gao Yun didn't think so.
Now Yuan Shu's mind is still above the emperor, where can he care about finding trouble with Cao Cao, who is about to start a war with Yuan Shao?
"Wen Jugong, don't come unharmed if you don't see it for many days."
Kong Rong was still not shocked, but just touched his beard and exchanged a few words with Yuan Shu. He looked a little tired, and the long escape obviously brought a huge sense of exhaustion to this great Confucian who was over half a hundred years old.
"Playing music!"
The sound of long horns was already sounding from all directions, followed by the beating of drumsticks by several naked men, who did not look cold in the cold wind despite the December weather.
"Congratulations to General Gao on his triumph!"
"Congratulations..."
After the complicated etiquette is over, it is the greeting of the hundred officials. Yuan Shu has already pulled Kong Rong into the city in parallel, in his opinion, what is too Shi Ci, what is Guan Hai, where is Kong Rong important after the sage?
But it is precisely because of this that Gao Yun has benefited, at least now Tai Shici and Guan Hai are still his nominal direct subordinates.
...
It had been a few hours since Gao Yun's victory, and after Yuan Shu set up a banquet, Gao Yun only had a brief greeting with Yuan Yao, and then returned home under the pretext that he was too tired.
The huge Gao Mansion is also full of lights, and the new servants and maids have begun to call Master Gao Yun, even if he is less than twenty years old, Gao Yun has completed the transformation from a young master to a master.
Yes, the pillar of this home is still Gao Yun.
Gao Yun took a good bath, changed into a Confucian robe, and sat in the study, beside Lu Lingqi, but his hands were playing with a sword.
"The system detected a famous product, the Qingyu Sword. Effect: Brawn +5, Commander +4. Side note: The things of the famous general Zhao Yun, if they are owned by Zhao Yun, can trigger a certain bonus effect. ”
Zhao Yun's things? Gao Yun lightly placed the Qingyu Sword on the sword rack in the study, rubbed his forehead, and asked Lu Lingqi.
"Lingqi doesn't think about it anymore, this Qingyu Sword is Cao Mengde's treasure, it really sharpens iron like clay, and it is a match for Lingqi."
What Zhao Yun's thing! In Gao Yun's opinion, it is not worth mentioning, the person he cares about most now is Lu Lingqi, and such a treasure is of course to put Lu Lingqi in the first place.
"Nope." Lu Lingqi said solemnly: "I already have the Qingping Sword, and besides, the Qingyu Sword is a broadsword, which is not suitable for women. ”
Accepting Lu Lingqi's words, Gao Yun smiled and asked casually: "Ziyi, Guan Hai, Fengxiao, and Mr. Ji are all settling down at home?" And Bo Dao is too young, and this time he has experienced a vicious battle, so let's ask Mr. Ji to give him a check-up, so as not to leave any sequelae. ”
"Don't worry."
Lu Lingqi nodded slightly: "Tai Shici, Guan Hai, and Guo Jia are all arranged in the wing, and Mr. Ji and Bodao both live in the East Courtyard." Mr. Heji had just been photographed, and said that Bodao's body was fine. ”
Tai Shi Ci is not a member of the family no matter what Guo Jia says, and the arrangement in the wing room is very reasonable. Hao Zhao is a disciple of Gao Yun, so even if he is a person from the High Mansion, it is not a problem to live in the East Courtyard. As for Ji Ping, naturally because of the reason of taking care of Hao Zhao, he was arranged by Lu Lingqi to live in the East Courtyard together.
Just when Gao Yun was about to have a short sentence with Lu Lingqi's family, he heard a knock outside the door.
Pan Ran is the new housekeeper of Gaofu, this person was introduced to Gaofu through Yang Liu, he is not very old, but he is still active in dealing with miscellaneous affairs in the mansion, so Gao Yun is also very relieved.
"Sir, ma'am."
Gao Yun looked at Pan Ran and said, "Is there anything wrong with Steward Pan?" ”
"There are two things." Pan Ran arched his hand and said: "The first thing is that Yuan Shizi has already sent a prayer post, and asked the master to go to his mansion for a banquet in the evening." ”
Gao Yun didn't reply, and Pan Ran continued: "Also, the mausoleum has been almost repaired, does the master want to go and have a look?" ”
Gao Yun raised his eyebrows, repairing the mausoleum was requested by him, and now he has officially become a general under Yuan Shu's forces, so of course the tombs of his ancestors must be moved to Shouchun.
"Push away Mingcheng's invitation, just say that I am tired from the expedition, and I will visit in a few days."
Gao Yun got up and tidied up his clothes, "I'm tired of Steward Pan to call Xuan Gao, and by the way, prepare a horse to go to the cemetery..."
