Chapter 224: Let's get off first
"Tomorrow morning, my father will leave here!" led Gongsun Xu and the others into the barracks, looking at the camp where Liu Wei and Guan Qing were resting from afar, Gongsun Zhan said to Gongsun Xu who was following behind him: "Don't tell King Hongnong that your father has come, and when your father leaves, you will immediately return to Yuyang." Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and the remnants of the Yellow Turban, as well as Dong Zhuo's previous one, are all wandering around, this can be described as an eventful place, if people know that the King of Hongnong is our income, I am afraid that you and my father and son will not return to Jizhou! ”
"The child will be careful!" Gongsun continued to answer, and while following Gongsun Chan towards the main tent, he lowered his voice and asked, "Father, the child heard about the King of Hongnong earlier. When I saw it yesterday, it was just a milky kid, but a little more ruthless. Why did my father specifically instruct him earlier that if he was lucky enough to meet King Hongnong, he would treat him with courtesy? ”
"King Hongnong was deposed of the throne by Dong Zhuo and imposed on him as a title." Turning his head, he glanced at Gongsun Xu with an almost idiotic look, and Gongsun Chan said to him: "The hero of the world, I recognize him as the Venerable of the Ninth Five-Year Plan more than the current emperor!" When we return to Yuyang, he is in the hands of my father and son, how can we still recognize the title of King Hongnong? Re-establish him on the throne and gather heroes from all walks of life to enter Chang'an to crusade against Dong Zhuo, will this world be in the hands of you and my father and son sooner or later? ”
"Father really had a foresight!" Bowing slightly, Gongsun Xu said to Gongsun Zhan without a sycophant: "It's just that King Hongnong is quite famous, although he is still young, but the child is afraid that he can't hold him!" ”
"Good life and care along the way!" Walking outside Gongsun Xu's main tent, Gongsun Zhan turned his head to look at the tent where Liu Wei and Guan Qing lived, and said to Gongsun Xu: "My father plans to go to Yuyang, set up more wine banquets and songs, and explore his reality before talking!" ”
"No!" After receiving Gongsun Zhan's instructions, Gongsun Xu didn't ask any more questions, and bowed down to answer.
The stars shifted, and the night passed quickly, and the eastern sky revealed a thin glimmer of morning light, bringing the first rays of light to the earth.
Liu Wei lifted the curtain and walked outside the tent. He stretched his waist and looked lazily at the dozen or so fast horses that had just come out of the gate and were galloping into the distance in the dim morning light.
"Your Highness, how did you get up so early?" As soon as Gongsun Zhan and others were sent out of the gate, they were about to return to the main tent, and when they saw that Liu Wei was already standing outside the tent, Gongsun Xu was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.
"It's not too late for General Gongsun to get up!" Chao Gongsun continued to smile slightly, Liu Wei muttered to the gate, and asked very casually: "It's still early in the sky and a team of cavalry is out of the camp, isn't it that General Gongsun sent scouts early in the morning?" ”
When Liu Wei asked like this, he found a reason for Gongsun Xu to lie. He was stunned for a moment, then his face was full of smiles, and he said to Liu Wei: "It's not very peaceful here, and the last general is worried about the safety of His Highness, so he sent scouts early in the morning......"
"More than a dozen horsemen rode out of the camp together, this scout...... A little more! Turning his head to look at Gongsun Xu, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, and he said to him: "General Gongsun has a heart!" ”
"In order to ensure the safety of His Highness, the last general will not dare to slack off for a moment!" From Liu Bian's words, Gongsun Xu vaguely heard something different, he bowed slightly, hugged his fists and said to Liu Bian: "At the end of today, I will pull out the camp and march north, and I hope Your Highness ......"
"The Yellow Turban Thief and Dong Zhuo's old thief both have an army near here!" Without waiting for Gongsun to finish speaking, Liu Wei waved his hand at him and said to him: "General Gongsun only needs to send someone to the outside of Lu County, inform the army under the command of this king, and this king will go north with the general!" ”
"I'll arrange this!" Hearing that Liu Wei was willing to go north with him, Gongsun Xu was overjoyed, and hurriedly responded, and said to the soldiers beside him: "Quickly send someone to inform His Highness's generals, and say that His Highness has gone to Jizhou with this general!" ”
While talking to the soldier, Gongsun continued to look at him several times.
The soldiers who accompany the general on weekdays, which one is not as fine as a ghost. Seeing Gongsun Xu's eyes, the soldier hurriedly answered, turned around and retreated.
Looking at the back of the soldier leaving, Liu Wei couldn't help but feel secretly funny in his heart.
He knew very well that Gongsun Xu would never send people to inform Zhao Yun and the others, and making this request was nothing more than to ask Gongsun Xu to underestimate him and reduce the difficulty of escaping with Guan Qing in the future.
The sun was three poles up, and the officers and soldiers under the command of Gongsun Xu were already ready, and with Gongsun Xu's order, the entire military camp rose from the ground and accelerated towards the north.
The number of this team is not very large, and the cavalry and infantry combined are only about a thousand people. It is precisely because of this that their presence will not attract too much attention from the powerful scouts in the vicinity.
Riding horses to follow the procession, Liu Wei and Guan Qing were surrounded by a group of soldiers under Gongsun Xu along the way, and they never left the surveillance of the Jizhou army at any moment.
After walking north for more than ten days in a row, Liu Wei saw a city with a towering city wall and quite an imposing city in front of him from a distance.
Further north of the city, there is a continuous floating shadow of the city wall. The shadow of the wall stretched far into the sky, running east-west across the endless wilderness and mountains.
"There's the Great Wall?" Seeing the endless city wall in the distance, Liu Wei put his legs on the horse's belly, got closer to Gongsun Xu, raised his hand and pointed to the city wall connecting heaven and earth and asked.
"Exactly!" Looking forward in the direction of Liu Wei's finger, Gongsun Xu nodded and said to Liu Wei: "The Hu people invaded the Central Plains, and the last general went with the former general to kill them. ”
Liu Wei nodded, didn't ask any more questions, gradually narrowed the stride of the war horse, and retreated to Guan Qing's side.
"Your Highness seems to be interested in the Great Wall?" Seeing the Great Wall, Liu Wei sped up to catch up with Gongsun Xu, and the scene was fully watched by Guan Qing, and Liu Wei retreated to her side, and she asked Liu Wei in a low voice: "Could it be that His Royal Highness has never been to the Great Wall?" ”
If you want to talk about the Great Wall, Liu Wei has been here, but he is not to the Great Wall of Qin, but to the tourist attractions of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty two thousand years later.
"Nope!" Although he had been to the Great Wall, Liu Wei couldn't tell Guan Qing that he had arrived at the scenic spot of the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty two thousand years later, so he shook his head and said to Guan Qing: "This king has heard that the Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, but he has never had the opportunity to take a look. ”
"The little girl hasn't seen it either." Looking up at the Great Wall in the distance, Guan Qing said with a sigh: "This Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, with such a majestic pass, the Central Plains has not been bullied by Yidi for many years!" ”
"Is that really the case?" Turning his head to look at Guan Qing, Liu Wei pursed his lips, a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to Guan Qing: "Gongsun Xu just said a word to this king, and this king feels that there is some truth. The Great Wall blocked Yidi's attack, but it also hindered the pace of our Han officers and troops in pursuing Yidi. Offense is the best defense, when a nation only knows how to build the Great Wall, in order to protect itself, but forgets that if you want to achieve peace forever, you can only lead the war to the land of Yidi, so that they can taste the unforgettable pain, sooner or later they will have to bear the bullying of foreign races! ”
When he said this, although Liu Bian's voice was small, he gritted his teeth, and every word was very clear.
Guan Qing, who rode forward with Liu Wei, lowered her head, did not put forward any different opinions, and no longer looked at the Great Wall that was so magnificent in her mind in the past.
Ever since the sight of the magnificent city south of the Great Wall in the distance, the pace of the procession has slowed down considerably.
Seeing that the city was getting closer and closer, a shout suddenly came from the end of the team: "The former general is back!" ”
Hearing the shout, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the end of the team, only to see that about ten miles away from their team, a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up.
The speed of the smoke and dust was very fast, and gradually Liu Wei could vaguely see that a group of cavalry on white horses were running in front.
Gongsun Xu, who led the team to advance towards the big city in front, got the news that Gongsun Chan had caught up, raised an arm, stopped the advance of the team, and took several generals of the Jizhou Army to turn around and run towards the end of the team.
"Your Highness, the former general returns to Yuyang!" Just as he was turning his head to look back, a Jizhou soldier ran to Liu Wei, clasped his fists and said to him: "General Gongsun, please go and greet His Highness!" ”
As a former general, Gongsun Zhan should have taken the initiative to come to meet him, the king of Hongnong, who was in good manners, but now Gongsun Xu asked the soldiers to inform Liu Wei to go to greet him, needless to say, Liu Wei was already clear, this was to give him a dismount, so that he would know who could speak in Jizhou!
The soldiers who reported the news nodded their heads, and Liu Wei said to Guan Qing on the side: "Miss Guan is waiting here, this king will go to meet the former general!" ”
"Your Highness!" Although Guan Qing is from a yellow scarf, she also knows some dignity and humility, when Liu Bian said that she was going to meet Gongsun Zhan, she twisted her brows and said to Liu Bian: "With the body of His Royal Highness......
"Don't say more!" Without waiting for Guan Qing to finish speaking, Liu Wei hurriedly raised his hand to stop her words, and said to her: "The former general protected you and me all the way north, so that the two of us escaped from the pursuit of the Yellow Turban. The hard work is high, and the king personally went to greet him, which is also in line with the number of courtesies! ”
was stopped by Liu Wei, Guan Qing didn't finish a word, only felt a pain in his chest. She frowned, turned her face and glared angrily at the army of Gongsun Chan who were rapidly marching towards them.
The anger on Guan Qing's face, how could Liu Wei not see it. But right now, he and Guan Qing are in the Gongsun Zhan army, if they directly refuse to go to greet them, I am afraid that they will soon cause death.
Guan Qing, who was still a little uneasy about the upright temperament, reached out and took one of her hands when the horse passed by her, pinched it gently, and threw her a look that he must suppress his anger.
Although Jizhou Jun's approach made Guan Qing very angry, she also knew some of the severity, especially when Liu Wei didn't forget to throw her a look of don't want to cause trouble before leaving, which made her understand that now was not the time for her to play tricks.
Turning his head to look at Liu Wei, who was surrounded by a group of Yanyun iron horsemen and approached Gongsun Xu and the others, Guan Qing sighed softly, clenched his fists tightly, and forcibly suppressed the anger churning in his chest.
Unlike Guan Qing, Liu Wei, who was approaching Gongsun Xu and the others, waiting to greet Gongsun Zhan, not only did not show the slightest displeasure, but looked proud, as if he had just won a battle.
