Chapter 259: Parting

After the reward is completed, it is naturally time for the heroes to disperse. According to Gongsun Bai, it is to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers.

Fearing that Cao Cao would suddenly attack, the heroes each sent people to make an appointment with each other to set up camp together two days later, and at the same time moved out of the temporary mansion in Xu Du the next day and lived in the big tent of the military camp outside the city to avoid chaos.

Outside the city of Xudu, in the camp of the princes of the Five Roads, all the soldiers were packing up their belongings and preparing to leave Xudu the next day.

The white horse is relatively simple, and one person has two horses, and there are many pack horses, so it is even easier to clean up.

Gongsun Bai, who came back from morning exercise, was discussing the marching route with Guo Jia in the big tent of the Chinese army. Relatively speaking, the other princes of the four routes can go south together, and there is naturally no risk on the road, but Gongsun Bai has to lead a thousand troops and horses through the land of the two states, but it is full of risks.

After carefully looking at the map, Guo Jia customized the best route for Gongsun Bai, but Gongsun Bai was surprised.

Guo Jia's route is the route that Guan Yu took for thousands of miles to ride alone, that is, the route that passed five passes and killed six generals. In fact, thinking about it, Guan Yu in the romance wanted to protect his two sisters-in-law to defect to Liu Bei, but what they learned at that time was that Liu Bei was under Yuan Shao, but in fact, it was Yuan Shao in Jizhou who defected. Now Gongsun Bai is also going to return to Jizhou from Xudu, so he naturally takes that route to cross the five passes to the Yellow River, and then cross the river to Jizhou.

Then another problem comes, if Cao Cao insists on blocking it on the road, they have to repeat what Guan Yu did, pass five passes and kill six generals, and then get to the Yellow River. The problem is that Guan Yu is riding alone in the romance, those stupid guards will naturally bully him into being single, and the stupid ones will lead the troops out of the customs to meet the enemy, and now he is leading a thousand white horses to come from the momentum, those guards are afraid that they will not be stupid enough to take the initiative, as long as they stick to the checkpoint, I am afraid he will have a headache.

The two were discussing when suddenly the guards outside the account reported: "Cheng Shangshu asks to see." ”

Gongsun Bai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "See me." ”

As soon as the words fell. Cheng Yu came with a spring breeze on his face, and bowed to Gongsun Bai: "Your next official Cheng Yu, meet the general!" ”

After Gongsun Bai invited him to sit down, he asked, "I don't know what happened to Cheng Shangshu?" ”

Cheng Yu hurriedly took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it to Gongsun Bai Dao: "Cao Sikong is worried that when the general passes through the customs on the way, the guards will stop him without knowing it, so he hereby sends a customs clearance diploma. ”

Gongsun Bai took the brocade box and smiled quietly: "Cao Sikong has a heart." ”

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "In the three-year contract, how can Cao Sikong break his trust with the general, but I also hope that the general will keep his promise." ”

Gongsun Bai smiled noncommittally, raised the bottle and said to Cheng Yu: "Shangshu has worked hard, please drink this wine." ”

Cheng Yu chatted for a while, and then left.

Gongsun Bai looked at Cheng Yu's departing back, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that Cao Cao is still very sincere for the time being, and before he swept away Li Dao and Lu Bu, he really didn't want to go to war with him, but did the general promise Cao Cao not to go to war for three years?

got the customs clearance diploma, the two of them were settled, and Guo Jia also said goodbye and left.

Guo Jia had just left the big tent of the Chinese army, and the guards outside the tent reported: "Wu Hou asks to see the general." ”

Sun Ce, who is majestic and heroic, came to see Gongsun Bai sincerely.

The two are about the same age, Sun Ce is only one year older than Gongsun Bai, and there are many similarities in their experiences. Both have a father who is brave and good at fighting and has participated in pacifying foreign races, sweeping up the yellow turbans, and crusading against Dong Zhuo, and both of their fathers died young, so that both of them inherited their father's business early.

Relatively speaking, Gongsun Bai was naturally much more successful than Sun Ce. A land that swept through foreign races and won three states, and the official worshiped the general; A career barely stabilized, only to get a county, and the position is only a Pingnan general. Therefore, Sun Ce sincerely worships Gongsun Bai, and this time he came to say goodbye, in fact, the first is to contact feelings, and the second is to seek advice.

The two chatted all over the world, talking about tactics and training of military horses for a while, talking about law and martial arts for a while, and finally chatting about their respective wives and concubines.

At this point, Sun Ce admired Gongsun Bai again. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, but they admired the name of Qiao Xiao, and they asked Qiao Lao for marriage, and Qiao Lao also heard the names of the two heroes for a long time and married their daughters to the two of them, but there were no twists and turns. Relatively speaking, Gongsun Bai first killed Yuan Yu in Montenegro, forced Zhang Yan to agree to the marriage, and then robbed his relatives in Jizhou and accepted Zhen Mi, which was full of legend and was rumored to be a good story for a while.

The two chatted for more than an hour before Sun Ce reluctantly left.

Gongsun Bai looked at Sun Ce's departing back, and suddenly shouted: "Bo Fu, slow down!" ”

Sun Ce turned around slowly and looked at Gongsun Bai in confusion.

Gongsun Bai smiled slightly: "Ben Hou knows a little bit of divination, Bo Fu is here, you must strictly guard against assassins, and you must not go out alone." ”

Sun Ce looked stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Thank you for reminding the general, it's just that the last general also knows a lot about martial arts, and there are no more than ten people who can beat the last general in martial arts in the world, and it shouldn't be a problem to be just an assassin." ”

Gongsun Bai laughed coldly: "There is a way that is easy to dodge, dark arrows are difficult to prevent, no matter how high the martial arts are, I am afraid of kitchen knives, no matter how good the kung fu is, if a brick is knocked down, Bo Fu must remember, otherwise there will be a disaster of blood and light." ”

Seeing that his face was full of solemnity, Sun Ce's expression also became humble, and he said in a low voice: "The last general will be saved." ”

When he was about to say goodbye again, he suddenly looked at Gongsun Bai again, and said slowly: "This farewell, I don't know if when he sees the general again in the future, it will be the day of the soldiers." ”

Gongsun Bai smiled faintly: "What if it is? ”

Sun Ce said with a solemn face: "If there is really such a day, the last general is willing to die at the hands of the general, although he is defeated, he is still glorious!" ”

Rao is Gongsun Bai's heart was as hard as iron, and he couldn't help but be slightly excited: "Very good, live well, don't die in the hands of assassins, otherwise Ben Hou will look down on you." ”

Sun Ce's expression was solemn, and he bowed to Gongsun Bai and said, "The last general will obey the order!" ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Lu Bu and Liu Miao also came to bid farewell to Gongsun Bai.

For Lu Bu, the biggest opponent at the moment is Cao Cao, so he naturally wants to show closeness to Gongsun Bai. And Liu Miao was fortunate to be treated by Gongsun Bai, which made the originally sick body become vibrant, and he was even more grateful.

After Lu Bu and Liu Xuan, Liu Biao finally came to resign. Although he is not interested in Gongsun Bai, but because Gongsun Bai is the general worshiped by Liu Xie and the sworn brother of the little emperor, he has to be polite after all on the surface, after all, there is no real conflict of interests between the two.

*

The next morning, the sky had just turned white, the twilight had not completely subsided, and the late autumn cold was still hanging around.

At the north gate of Xucheng, a thousand white horses are ready to go.

Gongsun Bai was draped all over his body, sitting on top of the sweaty and bloody BMW, looking back at the Xu Capital Tower, and then waving the sky-breaking sword: "To the north, back to Jizhou!" ”

The sound of horses' hooves began, and a thousand white horses, plus thousands of horses and pack horses, began to set off and prepare to go north.

"General, please stay!"

At this moment, a shout came from the direction of the north gate of Xudu, and when everyone looked up, they saw dozens of tiger ben rushing under the leadership of a tiger ben leader.

Gongsun Bai hurriedly reined in the horse's feet, and looked back at the rushing tiger in confusion.

"Your Majesty has a decree, please ask the general to stay, Your Majesty will come to the north gate in person to meet the general." The tiger shouted out of breath.

Gongsun Bai's expression moved, and he hurriedly signaled all the soldiers to stop, turned their horses' heads in unison, and greeted the north gate of Xudu.

The drums sounded, and hundreds of red-clothed fast horses poured out, lined up on both sides of the north gate.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged tiger general led a group of tiger ben to rush out with a sword, and the general was Wang Yue.

Further back, from the gate of the city, a golden luan drove slowly, and galloped towards Gongsun Bai's army with Wang Yue and the tigers.

Gongsun Bai hurriedly waved his hand, and ordered all the white horses to dismount to greet him, and he also turned over and dismounted.

Under the canopy, the golden curtain was opened, and the little emperor Liu Xie, who was wearing a pearl and jade crown and a hundred birds and a phoenix and a red crown, got out of the car and drove to Gongsun Bai under the escort of Wang Yue and others.

Where did Gongsun Bai dare to hold it up, he hurriedly threw down the reins of the horse in his hand, and bowed to Liu Xie: "Weichen Gongsun Bai, meet Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xie also hurriedly rushed forward, helped Gongsun Bai up, and said excitedly: "Brother Huang doesn't have to be polite, Brother Huang is going to Jizhou, the mountains and rivers are long, I specially came to see off Brother Huang." ”

Gongsun Bai's heart was hot, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is so loving, Weichen is ashamed to be ashamed." ”

Liu Xie's face was full of excitement, and with a slight gloom and sadness, he said slowly: "The imperial brother is going to say goodbye, I don't know when we will see each other again, today I should send the imperial brother to a hundred miles away before returning." ”

Gongsun Bai was unconsciously moved in his heart, no matter what, this little emperor sincerely regarded him as the mainstay of the Han family that could be completely relied on, but I am afraid that this hundred miles of sending him off will not work. He can guess with his thighs, it is already Cao Mengde who can let Liu Xie go out of the city alone, after all, it is for the three-year contract, if it is said that it is impossible to send it for a hundred miles, I am afraid that if you go out of twenty miles, Cao Cao's soldiers and horses will surround you like crazy, not to mention that there are five checkpoints to pass in front.

Gongsun Bai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, how can you travel a long distance, and it is already a great honor for Weichen to be able to go out of the city to see him off, and please take care of your body and return to the palace." ”

Next, Liu Xie insisted several times, but was politely dissuaded by Gongsun Bai.

Liu Xie finally seemed to understand something, his eyes turned red, and he said with a slight cry: "Can't I go out for a walk if I want to?" Am I the son of heaven or a caged bird? Now that I am isolated and bullied, doesn't the general care about me? The general is powerful and invincible in the world, who else will he be afraid of? ”

This fifteen or sixteen-year-old little emperor was full of grievances and grievances, which made Gongsun Bai couldn't help but be moved.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, there are Weichen here, no one dares to be rude to Your Majesty, otherwise Yuan Shao is his example, please rest assured. One day, Weichen will definitely let His Majesty return the capital to Luoyang and rebuild the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty! ”

At this moment, Gongsun Bai seemed to have forgotten his original intention, and the ghost made this call like a god, but what he didn't expect was that it was precisely because of these words that the broken Han Dynasty would end earlier than history.

Liu Xie was shocked by his loud and bold words, and immediately showed a knowing smile: "In that case, then I can send the imperial brother three miles away." ”

Gongsun Bai's face was full of helplessness, so he had to nod and agree.

There were no words along the way, Bai Ma Yi was in front, and the Huben and Yulin rode around Liu Xie's Luan, and finally sent it to three miles away.

However, the little emperor insisted on sending another ride, so he sent one ride after another. Seeing that it was already six or seven miles away from Xu Du, Gongsun Bai finally couldn't help it and resolutely refused Liu Xie to go further.

Liu Xie got off Luan and cried. Gongsun Bai was okay, but Zhao Yun and Wen Chou and others behind him couldn't help but cry, and the sadness of parting actually deeply infected the two tiger generals, not to mention the other tiger ben, Yulin Qi and Baima Yizi who were present.

Finally, Gongsun Bai led the crowd to turn over and get on the horse, bowed to Liu Xiezai on the horse, and was about to ride away, but suddenly stopped and shouted: "General, wait a minute!" ”

Gongsun Bai turned around, only to see Wang Yue coming on horseback, and greeted Gongsun Bai and said: "Xia Guan saw that the general was skilled in kung fu immediately, but his strength was not good, and his martial arts were greatly reduced after all. The lower officials have a way to practice qi and resist strength, and they may help the general. ”

After speaking, he turned over and dismounted, took out a yellow silk package from his arms, which seemed to contain a book, and handed it to Gongsun Bai.

The cheats sent by the Sword Saint Wang Yue were naturally extraordinary, and although Gongsun Bai was excited, he couldn't show much for a while, so he just got off the horse and thanked him, and then hurriedly led the crowd away.

Behind him, the little emperor Liu Xie stood in tears, looking at the smoke and dust that swept away from him, stunned, as if he was stupid.

Seeing that Gongsun Bai and his entourage turned the official road and disappeared into a bush, Liu Xie suddenly raised the whip in his hand, pointed to the dense woods, and shouted: "Cut down all the trees here for me, this wood will prevent me from watching the eyes of the imperial brother!"
