Chapter 25: First meeting Liu Bei

Although I don't know if Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, really asked Ding Yuan for help in history, but now that he has sent a messenger, Ding Yuan, as a well-known loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, will naturally not sit idly by. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention the first battle of the grassland, Lu Bu and Gao Ye are famous, I am afraid this is also one of the reasons why Guo Xun came to Bingzhou to ask for help.

Now that Ding Yuan has issued an order to send troops, Gao Ye naturally has to follow it. If it weren't for Ding Yuan's friendship with his master, he wouldn't have greeted him for so long. An order comes, do you dare to disobey this little lieutenant? Besides, now that he has the idea of meeting Liu Bei, Gao Ye is full of expectations for his trip to Youzhou.

"Mingxi, the military situation is urgent, I won't keep you more, you have a good rest today, tomorrow you will rush to Yanmen, your men and horses are there. Go to Yanmen to find Fengxian, and he will hand over all your men and horses to you. Ding Yuan said, handed the order that had already been written to Gao Ye, and said: "You should rush to Youzhou this time, Guo Xun is a scholar, and he doesn't know how to fight, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the rebels." ”

Gao Ye bowed his hand and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to wait for tomorrow, I will set off for Yanmen." We must put down the rebellion and not dishonor the prestige of our state army. Gao Ye's words were awe-inspiring, with a look of courage and loyalty, and Ding Yuan, who looked straight at him, was full of joy.

In fact, since Gao Ye returned to this era, he was full of thoughts about how to leave a strong mark in the history books in the bloody era of the Three Kingdoms. He has made countless preparations in his own home, all in order to be able to get ahead in this troubled time. But as the so-called people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads. Tell Guo Jia and Zhao Yun what he thinks, but if he tells Ding Yuan, he doesn't have to think about how to get ahead, I'm afraid that he will fall to the ground.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the deeds of Shi Jie, the patriotic doctor who killed his relatives in righteousness, were praised by countless descendants. After Zuo Qiu Ming sang the praises of this behavior, it became an important part of Confucianism. The righteous annihilation of relatives has been praised by the Chinese people for thousands of years, which shows that this kind of thinking is very marketable in Confucianism. Ding Yuan has been influenced by this kind of thinking for many years, not to mention this kind of thing, not to mention the apprentice of Gao Ye, a good friend, even if it is his own son, he will not be soft when he kills it.

Fortunately, Ding Yuan doesn't have a son! Gao Ye couldn't help but sneer.

Maybe God is also dissatisfied with Gao Ye's behavior of saying bad things behind his back, so Gao Ye, who is still in a hurry to the night, encountered a hailstorm. In this place where there is no village in front of the village and no store in the back, there is no place to hide. Fortunately, Gao Ye and his own guards were all helmets and armor, otherwise they would have been smashed out of a big bag this night. It's just that the hail on the helmet doesn't feel good, especially the sound, buzzing, which annoys Gao Ye to death.

Fortunately, the hail didn't rain for long, but it stopped in half an hour. Of course, it may be that it is only because Gao Ye ran out of the area where the hail was falling, so I felt this way.

Yanmen is only three hundred miles away from Jinyang, and Gao Ye and his guards rushed to Yanmen on the afternoon of the second day, if it weren't for this hailstorm, maybe they could have arrived a little earlier.

Lu Bu didn't have so many words when he saw Gao Ye, and he directly dragged Gao Ye to drink. Gao Ye said that he asked Lu Bu to hand over the people and horses to him first, and then drink well in the evening after the handover.

"Why is Mingxi so anxious, I have prepared all your men and horses, brother, four thousand elite cavalry are stationed in the east camp of Yanmen, I dropped Song Xian as your deputy general, and now this cavalry is led by him, what are you worried about. Come on, come on, it's right to drink first! ”

"Brother Fengxian, don't you know, my uncle's order to me is to put down the rebellion quickly, otherwise I won't be in a hurry overnight. I don't know if it's bad luck, but it was a hail at night, if it weren't for this helmet, my little brother wouldn't have to go to war now, and I would have to go directly to recuperate. ”

Gao Ye heard that Lu Bu had already made arrangements and sent Song Xian as his lieutenant, so he was already relieved. Song Xian was a person who had dealt with him as early as when he followed Lu Bu's Art of War grassland, and he had a good relationship. And this Song Xian is also a general who has a good command of the army, what do you have to worry about?

Lu Bu is right, what we have to do now is to drink a big wine with peace of mind.

It's a pity that at Lu Bu's banquet, there is really only wine! There is no string song or samurai dancer. The two of them held a two-pound wine jar, chatted a few words, took a sip, and chatted a few more words. Two catties of liquor went down, and Gao Ye began to get dizzy, Lu Bu still didn't change his face, and it looked like he had to serve two more jars of wine, and everyone continued to drink.

Gao Ye's mind is now full of thoughts about how to learn the legendary six-vein divine sword, not to mention killing people on the battlefield and being a few meters away, just talking about drinking and cheating, Gao Ye urgently needs it now.

Gao Ye didn't know how he returned to the guest room in the end, and when he woke up the next morning, he only felt a splitting headache, and everything else had disappeared from his memory.

Lu Bu came very early, and Gao Ye relied on his strong inertia of getting up early every day, so he got up early, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to come. Seeing that Gao Ye had already gotten up, he didn't say anything, and dragged Gao Ye to the camp.

When the two arrived at the barracks, the army had been assembled in the barracks, and after Song Xian met Gao Ye, Gao Ye's dominance in the barracks was truly established. Although the sergeants saw that Gao Ye was young, none of them had the intention of underestimating him, after all, Gao Ye's achievements over the years deserved their respect.

Now that the army has been assembled, Gao Ye didn't say much, and set off immediately. This time, he was going to lead his troops directly through the north of Jizhou and pounce directly on Fan Yang, where it is said that Guo Xun, the assassin of Youzhou, who was struggling to resist there, was about to be unable to hold on.

Naturally, the march of the army would not be as crazy as if it were rushing by itself, and the three-hundred-mile road came over in one night and half a day. Although he commanded 4,000 elite cavalry, he was not a light cavalry after all, and he had to camp every day, and a hundred miles a day was already considered the limit. It's a pity that even with such a rapid march, after marching for three days in the night, they finally received the news of Guo Xun's death.

Gao Ye was silent for a long time with the battle report. Ding Yuan told himself that this Guo Xun is a scholar, he has no force, and he can't fight. is such a person, and finally died in the chaos. He did not abandon the city and flee because of the strength of the thief army, nor did he bow his knees and surrender because the city was broken. It is said that when the gates of the city were breached, he was the first to raise his sword and rush at the thieves. Although he and his dozens of guards did very little damage to these Taiping Daoists, their actions made people like Gao Ye, who had fought countless times on the battlefield, angry.

Now that Gao Ye's men and horses have come to the vicinity of Zhuo County, they will no longer move forward. According to the current intelligence, Cheng Yuanzhi's men and horses broke through Fan Yang and killed the assassin Shi, and his current target is Zhuo County, where Liu Yan is located. Besides, if Gao Ye is allowed to choose, Gao Ye will also choose to attack Zhuo County. First, Zhuo County has no Wuhuan Koubian suffering, and it is adjacent to Jizhou, there are many wealthy businessmen, and there is enough money and food. If it is breached, it can greatly relieve the pressure on the rebels' food and grass. Moreover, Liu Yan, the Taishou of Zhuojun, is a relative of the Han family, and killing him is more influential than killing Guo Xun. In addition, Gongsun Zan of Liaodong is known for his prestige, persimmons, or you have to pick a soft pinch first.

Gao Ye ordered that all the horses should camp outside the city of Zhuo County, temporarily led by Song Xian, and he would enter the city directly. Guo Xun died in battle, Gongsun Zhan was beyond his reach, and Liu Yan is now the real boss of this area. In terms of combat, I am afraid that Liu Yan will still rely on himself, but in terms of official position, he is not as good as his son who can only recruit cats and dogs.

There is a famous saying that before you become a big guy, you must respect every big guy you meet. Therefore, Gao Ye had to run to the Taishou Mansion to meet Liu Yan.

Liu Yan is only fifty this year, but his temples are gray, and when Gao Ye saw him, his whole person was already haggard and unpresentable. However, he still entertained Gao Ye very warmly. Although he had already ordered Zou Jing, the captain of the Broken Turban, to recruit men and horses to resist the Yellow Turbans, he himself was not a general after all, and he didn't know how to resist when the Yellow Turban Army was in full swing. After hearing that Guo Xun was killed in battle and Cheng Yuanzhi was coming, the whole person collapsed even more.

Fortunately, the reinforcements from Bingzhou have arrived, and the leader is still the famous little general, Liu Yan is happy in his heart, and naturally he doesn't care about the difference in status. He warmly invited Gao Ye to sit down, and served him a cup of fried tea that he made himself.

"Lieutenant, it's great that you're here. I don't know anything about soldiers, old man, my hair has turned gray for the past few days, and now I can finally sleep well. Liu Yan said dejectedly.

"Don't dare to be so praised by adults, if you don't dislike it, you can just call my cousin Mingxi. Ding Tingshi came to help Guo Tingshi, but I never thought that he had been killed by the thieves. If I can't put an end to these rebels, I'm afraid I'll have to confess when I go back. I wonder what the adults can plan? ”

"Hehe, I'm old, I can't lift a sword, I can't kill a thief, and I haven't read any war books, what plan can I have? Naturally, they all rely on Captain Zou and Mingxi. ”

People said that it was Cao Cao Cao who arrived, but I didn't expect that now that Zou Jing is said, Zou Jing will arrive. Not only did he arrive, but he also came with a few people. It's just that Zou Jing has already walked into the lobby, and the three of them are still waiting outside the hall. Zou Jing also knew that Gao Ye had led his troops to camp outside the city today, so he was not surprised to see Gao Ye when he came in, and after saluting Liu Yan first, he bowed his hand to Gao Ye, and Gao Ye also returned the salute. Liu Yancai gave Gao Ye and Zou Jing a cordial and friendly introduction to each other.

"My lord, there are a few people today, leading 500 villagers to join the army, and the last general will personally bring them and introduce them to you, my lord."

"Well, okay, let's let them in."

Gao Ye listened from the sidelines and knew who these people were. I am very familiar with this episode, and the first time of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms did not write Liu Bei, "A total of more than 500 people from the countryside came to see Zou Jing." Zou Jing introduced Liu Yan to Taishou, "Is there anyone else at this time besides Liu Bei's three brothers?"

Sure enough, the three people who came in completely echoed Gao Ye's imagination. The two behind him were burly, one with a red face and the other with a black face. The face of the leader is like a crown of jade, with his arms above his knees, especially the pair of big earlobes, which is almost as fast as the Maitreya Buddha in the temple.

It's just that when Liu Bei and the three of them saw Liu Yan, they all knelt down in a hurry, calling them adults, where would they notice that there was a high night next to them who kept looking at them?
