Chapter 13 A battalion of soldiers and horses

When Lu Bu's men and horses galloped to Wuyuan City on the night of the night, it was already afternoon, not to mention the Huns outside the city, not even a Hun horse. The www.biquge.info came to the city, opened the city gate, and the eight thousand men and horses slowly entered the Wuyuan City. Lu Bu sent his generals and arranged for the soldiers and horses to enter the barracks in Wuyuan City first, and he went to Taishou Mansion with Gao Ye, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng.

Du Zan already knew when the army came, but not long after the Huns left, he still had to count the casualties, and the men and horses in the city were only attacked on the first night, and hundreds of casualties were killed. The situation outside the city is not yet known, and it is still necessary to arrange people to investigate.

When Lu Bu and the others came to the Taishou Mansion, Du Zan was still arranging tasks for his subordinates. When Du Zan saw Lu Bu and a few people, he first hurriedly ordered his subordinates to hurry up and do something, and then walked quickly towards Lu Bu, and after bowing his hand, he said, "Thank you General Lu for coming to help." He bowed deeply.

In the Han Dynasty, when people usually met, they usually bowed their hands and bowed at 90 degrees, which was not small. A man has gold under his knees, which is by no means an empty phrase in the Han Dynasty.

Although Lu Bu accepted this gift in a grand manner, he also hurriedly helped Du Zhan up, and even said: "I led the army to come, but I didn't help the lord." The villages along the way were empty and had already been looted by the Huns. ”

Du Zan also sighed: "I also know this matter, yesterday the Huns made a noise under the city, but they did not attack the city for a long time, Guo Fengxiao has already guessed the enemy's movements, but I am still not enough to defend it, where do I dare to attack rashly." ”

"When he came today, Ming Xi had already understood the tricks of these Huns, and he himself vomited blood in anger." Lu Bu shook his head and said.

Gao Ye shook his head, said nothing, and then asked, "But I don't know what happened yesterday?" Why is it that as soon as I entered the city, I heard so many people talking about the murder of the enemy's generals. ”

Zhao Yun shot a general to death in the city yesterday, and the story of killing a general in seconds under the city, under the instruction of Du Zhan, has long been known to everyone in the city, mainly because Du Zhan thought that there was going to be a fierce battle, and he had to mobilize the people to defend the city together. Zhao Yun, a ten-year-old child, is so heroic, whether it is for the people's hearts or morale, it has a great effect on promoting it, so Du Zan ordered people to start spreading it when he went down to the city. And Gao Ye only came back today, and he was following the army, so naturally he couldn't stop halfway and ask those who were talking. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally have to ask for clarification.

"Haha, speaking of this, Mingxi, I really want to praise you a few words. This Zhao Zilong is really heroic..."Then Du Zan told him how Zhang Liao blocked the arrow for himself yesterday, how Zhao Yun shot an arrow to kill the enemy general, and how he killed a military general that even Wei Xu and Gao Shun found tricky.

After listening to Gao Ye, he naturally had no doubts about Zhao Yun's ability. In the original history, Zhao Yun could become one of the best masters in the Three Kingdoms period without his own teaching, and Wei Xu was no different from the scum in front of Zhao Yun. Although Zhao Yun's current grade is still young, his martial arts are by no means comparable to his peers. It's just that Gao Ye was a little surprised when he heard the names of Wei Xu and Gao Shun. These two people are the generals under Lu Bu in the future. Especially Wei Xu, who is still close to Lu Bu, but in the end, the behavior of stealing horses and selling the owner is a little shameful, and he finally died under Yan Liang's knife, and it may not be that Cao Cao is not at ease with him. As for Gao Shun, he is a bull who can train out of the camp, and even Cao Cao covets him. In the end, he followed Lu Bu to die together, which can really be described as loyalty.

Just when Gao Ye was still thinking about these two people, Lu Bu said directly to Du Zhan: "Du Taishou, I have decided to rest today, and kill the grassland tomorrow, and pay for the blood debt of these Huns!" ”

"That's not good." When Du Zan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sending troops without an order is a big crime." ”

"It's okay, I've sent someone to report to my stepfather, and I don't think my stepfather will object."

"Brother Fengxian, I will go with you tomorrow." Gao Ye, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but say.

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Mingxi, you just vomited blood angrily, I'm afraid that you will have to raise it for a few days, don't worry, with my Lu Feng first, I will definitely make these Huns pay for their blood debts!" ”

"No, I will definitely go with Brother Fengxian. I think that I have been studying with Master for many years at night, and today I am being played by the Huns, such a shame, I will wash it with my own hands! ”

When Gao Ye said this, his whole face distorted. When Lu Bu saw it, he also knew that Gao Ye had made up his mind. Besides, Gao Ye's martial arts are outstanding, and it doesn't hurt to be in the army.

"In that case, when you come to the camp at night, I will divide a battalion of soldiers and horses with you, and tomorrow you will set off with me."

"Good! Then I'll go back and clean up in a while, and then I'll report to the barracks......"

"You two are painting yourself and saying enough is enough! Do you know that you are sending troops without an order? Although Lord Assassin Shi is in charge of my and state soldiers and horses, he can't afford to start a war without authorization. If you send troops privately, if you win, you will have no merit, and if you lose, even Lord Assassin Shi will be implicated! General Fengxian still listens to me, and it is only right that he goes to the court first. Du Chan finally couldn't help it anymore and interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Failure? Hmph, Lord Du, with me Lu Feng first, how can I fail to fight the right virtuous king of the Huns? Lu Bu sneered. There is a way is the shadow of a person's famous tree, Lu Bu has guarded the border for many years, I don't know how many times he has fought with the Huns, and he has never been defeated, he really has the capital to say so. Lu Feng went out first, and the Huns could still win? It's a ridiculous joke! Du Zan was also stunned when he heard this, but he couldn't find the right words to refute, so he had to persuade him vigorously. How do you know that Lu Bu didn't pay attention to him at all, and only said that I will send troops tomorrow, and don't worry about other things, so I choked Du Zhan to death.

"Your Excellency doesn't have to worry about us, in the public speaking, Brother Feng and I are not under your jurisdiction, and after you persuade you, you can be regarded as doing your duty. For private reasons, I have a reluctant request, and I hope that the adults will approve it. Gao Ye immediately spoke.

"Hmph, you're all going to send troops privately, what else is there to invite?" Although Du Zhan's words were ugly, it was really difficult to be angry with Gao Ye, "Alas, for the sake of the day before yesterday, you single-handedly fought your way out of the encirclement and delivered a letter for me, if you have something to do today, just say it, if I can do it, I will definitely help you." ”

"Thank you, sir. Just now, Brother Feng asked me to lead a battalion of soldiers and horses tomorrow, although I have learned a lot from my master, but after all, I have never led a soldier, so it is inevitable that I will be unfamiliar. Gao Sima, what Lord Taishou just said, I think he is a person who knows soldiers, so it is better to let him be my deputy and help me. ”

When Du Zan heard about it, it was not a big deal, and it was not to supply himself with food, grass and ordnance, so naturally it didn't matter. Gao Shun? It's just a military commander of 400 troops, what is it? Besides, if he made Gao Ye's deputy, it can be regarded as a promotion. Then he nodded, agreed to Gao Ye, and directly ordered someone to call Gao Shun, and as soon as he told him about it, Gao Shun received the order and thanked Du Zan at that time.

In fact, Gao Shun was also aggrieved when he was surrounded by the Huns in the city, and he was even more upset when he knew the true purpose of the Huns. Without him, because his family lived in a village outside the city, and today he heard that his house was indeed looted by the Huns, and the idea of revenge has always haunted his mind. It's just that Gao Shun thought that he was still just a military Sima in Wuyuan City, and now that the war had just passed, it was when he needed manpower to appease the people and maintain law and order, how could he just leave?

Unexpectedly, drowsiness met a pillow, this Zhao Zilong's eldest brother wanted to go to the grassland with Lu Bu to take revenge, and asked him to help him by name, isn't this just fulfilling his wish? Of course, he was full of promises, and even prepared to follow Lu Bu directly to the barracks for a while.

As a result, except for Du Zhan, who was sulky, everyone else was naturally happy. After everyone made arrangements, they dispersed, Gao Ye went home, and Gao Shun returned to the barracks with Lu Bu, Song Xian and others.

As soon as Gao Ye returned home, he saw Guo Jia and others waiting for him, Gao Ye's expression was gloomy, and he said: "This time I fell for the tricks of the Huns, I have decided to kill the grassland with Brother Feng Xian tomorrow, and get out of this evil spirit." A few of you are at home, so you should study with peace of mind. ”

"Big brother, I'm going with you too! Don't look at me small, I killed two Hun generals yesterday! Zhao Yun hurriedly said. Zhang Liao was not to be outdone, and he also wanted to go with Gao Ye, but Gao Ye shook his head: "You are still young, it is the time to grow your body, where can you stand the fatigue of the saddle horse, don't add to the chaos!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Yun still wanted to say something, Gao Ye sighed: "This time I fell for the tricks of the Huns, and I will find it back if I say anything." Fengxiao, Zilong, Wenyuan, what you have to do now is to help Lord Taishou stabilize the situation, especially Zilong, I came back today and heard that the streets and alleys are talking about you, with you, the people have a greater sense of security, and the situation can stabilize faster. At this time, Wuyuan City is in chaos! ”

"That's... All right. Then big brother, you have to be careful when you go on the expedition. ”

"Don't worry, I'm high night, it's not so easy to die!" Gao Ye sneered, "If you don't ask the Huns to pay for their blood debts, I won't be surnamed Gao!" ”

Gao Yechang took a long breath, spit out a long time, and then said to Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan, you stay at home, and help your third grandfather in big and small things." I don't think it will be too long for me to go on this expedition, and in my absence, my family will depend on you. Remember not to slack off when reading and practicing martial arts! I'll come back to test your homework, which one is left behind, and the family law is waiting! ”

After Gao Ye finished speaking, he left the lobby, leaving only three people who looked at each other.

Gao Ye packed a few clothes, took his own Zongheng, and brought a few military books, and left the house. By the time I arrived at the barracks, it was already the beginning of the day. Lu Bu directly brought Gao Ye to his camp gate and left. On the eve of the expedition, as the main general, there are a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.

Gao Ye entered the barracks, and the entire peaceful barracks began to be noisy. All the soldiers who saw Gao Ye coming in were talking in a whisper, after all, no one had ever seen such a young general. Coupled with Gao Ye's black armor and a black horse, the whole person looked more solemn.

Gao Ye walked straight into the big tent, Gao Shun was already waiting there, Gao Shun briefly explained the situation of the army to Gao Ye, and then asked the whole army to gather. After the 2,000 men and horses were processed, Gao Ye appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Standing in front of everyone, Gao Ye's gaze scanned from left to right. Then he spoke: "As you can see, I am high night, and from now on I will be your captain. I think a lot of people will be wondering, how did a little kid come and lead you. Gao Ye chuckled and said, "If anyone disobeys me, you can stand up now and beat me, naturally unrestrained." ”

However, no one in the crowd stood up, and heard the story of Gao Ye breaking out of the encirclement alone and moving the rescue soldiers, who didn't sigh, Gao Ye's good skills? What's more, even his main general, Lu Bu, commented on Gao Ye's martial arts and bravery, almost on par with himself, such a fierce man, why should he go to find abuse?

Gao Ye saw that no one stood up, so he continued: "Since no one has come out, it means that you recognize me and lead everyone to charge together. I have only one request, I am the only one who looks to the battlefield on the battlefield. ”

Seeing the confusion on everyone's faces, Gao Ye knew that most people still didn't know the allusion that the horse's head was looking at it. Although this allusion is in the Spring and Autumn Period, it is not a well-known allusion for a group of big-headed soldiers who don't know a few big characters. I think that back then, the Duke of Jin Mourning united with other vassal states and formed a coalition to attack the Qin State. Commanding the coalition of princes was Xun Yan, the general of the Jin State. Xun Yan wanted to launch a general attack, and issued an order to the generals of the coalition forces: "Tomorrow morning, after the rooster crows, we will prepare to set off, and all the armies will dismantle the earthen stoves and fill in the wells so that they can be deployed." When I was fighting, everyone looked at my horse's head to move, and wherever I pointed, everyone ran to it. However, when Xun Yan's generals heard his words, they felt that he was too domineering, and one of them said: "The monarch of the Jin Kingdom has never given us such an order!" If you want to go west to fight the Qin Kingdom, then you can go by yourself, my horse's head will go east and return to the Jin Kingdom! "There was already discord within the coalition army, and the generals of the other candidate countries also withdrew to their own countries when they saw that the generals of the Jin State had returned home with their troops. The whole army was in chaos without a fight, and Xun Yan saw that it was irretrievable, so he had to withdraw in embarrassment.

Gao Ye immediately explained the meaning of Ma Shou Shizhan, so that everyone understood, and then ordered that everything else in the military camp should be handed over to Gao Shun to manage. Let everyone disperse, after all, the army will be sent tomorrow, and you still need to rest today.

Gao Shun returned to the big tent with Gao Ye. Gao Shun, no matter what history book is, records his words, and after chatting with Gao Shun, Gao Ye learned that Gao Shun didn't have a word at all. Indeed, although the word originated in business and was popular in Zhou, for ordinary poor people, it was really a luxury. The ancients believed that names distinguish people from each other, while words reflect a person's virtue. In the Han Dynasty, almost all people's names and words were related in meaning, or synonymous, or explained, for these illiterate people, even the name may not be obtained, let alone the table word? Gao Shun's father didn't name him Gao Ergou, and he was already very worthy of him.

Gao Ye and Gao Shun naturally talked in detail, Gao Shun was amazed by Gao Ye's move to break through alone, and even praised Guo Jia and others. Gao Ye always felt that Gao Shun didn't have a table word, and it was always a little weird to call his name, so he proposed to give Gao Shun a table word as "Xunzhi". In the later generations of "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", it said: "Follow it, go smoothly." The meaning is to follow the word, which means to behave in accordance with the rules. This "follow" word, just and Gao Shun's "Shun" word complement each other, Gao Ye explained the meaning to Gao Shun, Gao Shun is also very happy, he has not had a suitable table word, and it is indeed not very good, those colleagues who have a table word see themselves, there is always a little bit of contempt, now there is Gao Ye such a scholar everyone gave themselves a table word, and they are also people with identity in the future.

Gao Ye and Gao Shun chatted for a long time, mainly because Gao Ye was asking Gao Shun for some tips on how to lead troops and train soldiers, as well as various military regulations in the barracks. Gao Shun had just gotten Gao Ye to help him with the words, and he was overjoyed, and naturally he knew everything about Gao Ye. The two chatted until the middle of the moon, and Gao Ye and Gao Shun ended the conversation, and the two went back to their tents to rest, ready to usher in tomorrow's departure.

Lying on the bed at night, I couldn't help but think: Huns, are you ready to die?
