The night shrouded Luoyang City, the round moon hung in the sky, and a few stars in the night sky were sparsely pulled, competing with the full moon for glory.

Hundreds of horses rode along the streets of the city and slowly walked towards the city gate.

The city gate had long been closed, and when the soldiers defending the city saw hundreds of horses coming from the city, they hurriedly greeted them and shouted, "Who is ahead?" ”

The one who led hundreds of people to the gate of the city on horseback was Deng Zhan, who had been ordered by Liu Wei and was about to go to the Hetao area to kill Qubei.

The soldiers guarding the city gate greeted him, Deng Zhan reined in his horse, and said to the soldier: "Deng Zhan, the commander of the dragoon guard, is ordered by His Highness to lead the army out of the city to do business!" ”

In Luoyang City, Deng Zhan is also a well-known figure, and the soldiers guarding the city gate know him.

However, the soldier did not immediately retreat, but asked Deng Zhan: "The general wants to go out of the city, but does he have a warrant from His Highness?" ”

The Qin army has always only recognized the warrant and not the person, if Deng Zhan and the others go out of the city during the day, the soldiers guarding the city gate will not stop him, but when they go out of the city at night, even if he is the commander of the dragoon guard, there will be no accommodation.

Glancing at a dragoon guard on the side, Deng Zhan was riding on horseback, his face was cold, and he didn't even say a word.

The dragoon nodded, reached out and took a letter from his bosom, rode over to the soldier who stood in their way, leaned down, and handed it to the soldier.

Since it was night, it was impossible for the soldier to see what was written in the letter, so he turned back to the other soldiers standing at the door and shouted, "Bring the torches!" ”

A soldier at the gate ran with a torch, and the soldier who received the letter unfolded it in the light of the fire.

He didn't read the contents of the letter in great detail, but just glanced at the seal underneath and handed it back to the dragoon.

The soldiers of the Qin army are not very literate, and they ask for warrants, often just looking at the seal.

If it is Liu Wei's seal, as for the content of the letter, it is not very important.

The warrant given by the dragoon guard, with the seal on it was stamped by Liu Wei himself, and the authenticity was verified, and the soldier hurriedly stepped aside and stood sideways, shouting to several people at the city gate: "Open the city gate quickly!" ”

The city gate slowly opened, Deng Zhan didn't say anything more, his legs lightly clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode the horse towards the outside of the city.

Five hundred dragoons were not wearing the armor of the dragoons, but dark clothes of mixed colors.

In the establishment of the Qin army, the two guards of Yulin and Huben can be regarded as the guards, and the dragoon guards are the special forces regiments specially raised by Liu Wei.

They were few in number, and since the crusade against the Xiongnu, they almost never fought with the large army again, and carried out some hidden and assassination missions.

This time, he ran thousands of miles and went to the Hetao area to kill and kill, but Liu Wei did not want to fight with the Hun army, so he chose to use the dragoon guard.

Deng Zhan and all the Dragoon Guards understood what Liu Wei was thinking, and they all knew that this time they went to Hetao, they must retrieve the heads of the people who went to Bei, and the Dragoon Guards could really be regarded as a special forces corps with the ability to run thousands of miles.

Out of the city gate, Deng Zhan did not delay for a moment, led more than 500 dragoon guards, and rode their horses towards the east of the river.

Liu Wei sent Deng Zhan to lead the dragoon guards to the Hetao area, and Pang Tong also arrived in Liaodong under the escort of a team of guards.

Liaodong Gongsun Du, since Liu Wei crusaded against Gongsun Zhan, he has not been used.

Now that the Xiongnu are provocative, the Qin army must beware of Cao Cao's army from invading the territory, and it is impossible to send too many soldiers and horses to deal with the Bei, Pang Tong came to Hedong, and the only task is to persuade Gongsun Du to use troops against the Xiongnu.

Surrounded by a team of guards, Pang Tong rode his horse and slowly walked towards the gate of Xiangping City.

Outside the city gate, a group of men and horses had already lined up and waited, and the one standing at the front of the team was Gongsun Du, the assassin of Liaodong.

I haven't seen him for a few years, and Gongsun Du is much older than when Pang Tong saw it earlier.

Riding on horseback, Gongsun Du's eyes were slightly squinted, and his hair, which was black a few years ago, was already a little gray.

"Father, Master Pang is here!" Gongsun Du's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were hazy, and he saw Pang Tong coming from a distance, and Gongsun Lan, who was standing behind him, leaned into his ear and whispered.

Hearing that Pang Tong was coming, Gongsun Du said to Gongsun Lan and Gongsun Kang and others, who were standing behind him: "Quick! Hurry up and go with your father to meet the military advisor! ”

Seeing Gongsun Du from afar, Pang Tong also sighed in his heart.

When he met Gongsun Du, in front of him, he was still a heroic man who seized Liaodong, and now he is old, and he, a yellow-mouthed child, has now grown into a strong young man.

Time is urging people to grow old, even if they are heroes who dominate one side, they can't escape the ravages of time after all.

sighed in his heart, and seeing Gongsun Du and others coming over, Pang Tong gently clamped his legs on the horse's abdomen, and also urged the horse to meet him.

"Gongsun Thorn Shi is good?" greeted Gongsun Du on two horses, and when he approached, Pang Tong rode on horseback, hugged his fists and arched towards Gongsun Du, and greeted him.

Pang Tong's figure appeared hazy in his eyes, although Gongsun Du didn't see it very really, he still hugged his fists and saluted back and said: "The military division came from afar, and the old man should have welcomed him from afar, but he was helpless and sick, he really couldn't stand the long-distance bumps, and he was lazy, and the military division was absolutely strange!" ”

"Thorn Shi is a kid elder, how dare you bother Thorn Shi Yuanying!" Putting down the fists he picked up, Pang Tong's ugly face was almost distorted with laughter, and said to Gongsun Du: "The kid is currently coming to visit Gongsun Thorn Shi, Thorn Shi is out of the city to greet him, and the kid is already terrified!" ”

"The military advisor is too humble!" Pang Tong's words were humble, Gongsun Du listened to it very usefully, smiled and stretched out his hand to Pang Tong and gestured to please, and said: "Military advisor, please enter the city to speak!" ”

He bowed his hand to Gongsun Du again, and Pang Tong also humbly said the word "please", and then rode to the city with Gongsun Du.

There was no war in Liaodong for many years, Gongsun Du opened up a mutual market in Liaodong, and communicated with the Huns such as the Xiongnu, Wuhuan, and Goguryeo, and Xiangping's development was more prosperous than the area under Yuan Shao's rule.

Because Gongsun Du went out of the city to meet Pang Tong, the Liaodong army in the city had already cleared the road early, and there were not even half pedestrians in the street market they were going to go, and the entire street market was as clean as if it had just been swept away.

Although the Liaodong army had cleared the streets in front of them, and there were no pedestrians in the market, after entering the city, Pang Tong could still see from the buildings in the city that Xiangping City was far more prosperous than some princes' offices he had seen in the past.

"Liaodong is a bitter cold place, and Gongsun Thorn Shi can govern this place in such an orderly manner, it is really powerful!" Walking slowly along the street, Pang Tongyi looked at the buildings on both sides of the street, and said to Gongsun Du: "If you say this Xiangping, its prosperity is really not inferior to Luoyang!" ”

"The military advisor is too humble!" Pang Tong compared Xiangping with Luoyang, and Gongsun Du immediately said with a smile: "Luoyang is the capital of the Han Dynasty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin sits in Luoyang, recuperating all year round, and there are endless merchants coming and going, how can this little Xiangping compare with Luoyang?" ”

Since meeting Gongsun Du, Pang Tong felt that there seemed to be something wrong with him.

When Gongsun Du turned his head to look at Pang Tong, Pang Tong looked at him carefully, only to find that in his eyes, there was a thin white film.

If Liu Wei saw Gongsun Du like this, he would definitely know that it was a cataract, but Pang Tong didn't know about it.

Finding that Gongsun Du had a layer of white membrane in his eyes, Pang Tong asked in a low voice: "Gongsun Thorn History, your eyes ......"

"I don't know why, my eyes have always felt that I can't see it really in the past two years!" Pang Tong lifted his eyes, Gongsun Du sighed, shook his head and said: "When you are old, you should be blind, no matter how much!" ”

"Is there a doctor for the history of stabbing?" Looking at Gongsun Du's eyes, Pang Tong asked him with great concern.

"Please!" Still shaking his head, Gongsun Du said to Pang Tong: "It's just that this Liaodong has a famous doctor, although there are many doctors, but no one knows what happened to the old eyes!" ”

"Mr. Hua Tuo is in front of His Royal Highness's tent, if the assassin Shi promises, the kid can implore His Highness to send Mr. Hua Tuo to Xiangping to treat the eye disease for the assassin!" Gongsun Du is a hero, if there is a problem with his eyes, he will definitely ask someone to treat him, Pang Tong knew that there were no famous doctors in Liaodong, so when Gongsun Du said that the doctors could not cure his eyes, he proposed to invite Hua Tuo to come to Liaodong Jianyi.

Hua Tuo is a famous doctor in the world, and his reputation has long been outside, hearing that Pang Tong is willing to invite Hua Tuo for him, Gongsun Du was suddenly happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "If the military advisor is like this, he is a reborn benefactor, but if the military advisor is sent, there is no refusal!" ”

Since the attack on Gongsun Zhan, Liu Wei has never sent anyone to Liaodong, Pang Tong suddenly came, and Gongsun Du naturally understood that Liu Wei had a request for him.

At the beginning, he was attached to Liu Bian, Gongsun Du wanted to confirm his status in Liaodong, and on the other hand, because Liu Bian was a royal family and an orthodox Han bloodline, and if he was attached to him, he would get more benefits.

If Liu Wei really wants Gongsun Du to send troops to crusade against others, as the assassin of Liaodong, Gongsun Du will really think about whether it is cost-effective or not.

After Pang Tong entered the city, he did not immediately mention the request for Gongsun Du to send troops to the Xiongnu, but started with his eye disease, which really brought him and Gongsun Du a lot closer.

"What are you talking about!" Smiling slightly, Pang Tong waved his hand and said to Gongsun Du: "When the kid left Luoyang, His Royal Highness instructed that the assassin Shi is an elder of ours and a senior minister of the Han Dynasty!" The boy should meet as a junior! Now there are occasional small illnesses in the history of thorns, so they should be relieved of their worries! ”

"When I met with the military advisor in Hebei, you and I didn't have a long talk, and today I am reunited with the military advisor, just like meeting the old man again, can the military advisor sleep with the old man at night, and talk until dawn?" Pang Tong's words made Gongsun Du very useful, and he smiled and proposed to sleep with him.
