Chapter 48: Mission
With a blushing face, Gongsun Da took Gongsun Yan and a few people, and while walking towards the city gate, he explained to them the origin of Aduna.
It turned out that Abdul was the grandson of Qiu Liju, who once confronted Gongsun Zan in Guanzi City, and was also the nephew of the current Lord Wuhuan.
After the first battle of Guanzicheng, Gongsun Zhan, whose subordinates suffered heavy casualties, launched a bloody revenge on Qiu Liju's department after a little recuperation.
Gongsun Zhan had seen the tragic situation of the Hu people going south to Koubian, and he was ruthless to the Hu people.
After the first battle of Guanzicheng, the violentism of the surviving Gongsun Zhan's revenge was staggering.
Adu, that is, the orphans of a certain branch that was slaughtered by Gongsun Zhan.
Speaking of this, Gongsun Da paused for a moment, showed a little hesitation, and then said, Adu's ministry later started a horse trade with the Gongsun family, and walked around the north all year round, and it was also safe and secure in western Liao.
Today, Zhang Wang Wu led a team of men and horses out of the customs to find Gongsun Yan's team, and soon after departure, there was an urgent report from the rear from Xiangguan, and Aduna, who went south to discuss the share of salt and iron this year, did not stay in the camp designated for him by Qian'an, but went south with the cavalry privately.
"As I expected, Ah Yan, you are facing Aduna!" Speaking of this, Gongsun Da frowned as if he was a knife, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "But fortunately, you arrived at Xiangguan safely, and after that, I swore to ensure that the two of you are safe and sound, so that you can be worthy of Brother Bogui's spirit in the sky." ”
Gongsun Da's explanation went through Gongsun Yan's mind, and she didn't miss Gongsun Da's desire to stop talking about certain places.
Regarding Abuna's life experience, Gongsun Yan believes that it should not be fake, and only in this way can it be explained why this Wuhuan cavalry is abrupt and wanders in the north in an unreasonable season.
After all, the revenge of destroying the family and slaughtering the family, knowing that the dead enemy still has orphans alive, there is no more reason to intercept and kill and retaliate.
But...... Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun glanced at each other, and there was obviously something hidden in Gongsun Da's words.
Why did Abduna get the news so quickly?
Since it is a Hu person who trades, why did the Gongsun family dare to indulge Abuna to camp in Qian'an.
If it is replaced by Gongsun Yan, even if she is allowed to be stationed, she will definitely keep an eye on the movement of such an unstable factor.
However, the news of Abuna's private mobilization of troops and horses arrived in Xiangguan two days late.
Gongsun Yan pondered, and a chill flashed in his heart.
All the questions point to one answer, someone wants to use the hands of the Hu people to cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
Even if it is not a knife to kill, it must be intentionally indulgent.
Hearing the oath that Gongsun Da said at the end, Gongsun Yan's expression moved.
Unlike later generations, people in the Han Dynasty rarely made such a heavy oath as Gongsun Da, and when they think back to Gongsun Da's performance, it seems that this clan uncle is indeed on their side.
Although the oath was ethereal, but he dared to say it, Gongsun Yan naturally dared to listen to it seriously, and beat the snake with the stick.
As soon as Gongsun Da's words fell, she made an anxious look and raised her sleeves to cover her face.
"I hope my uncle will help me." There was a cry in her voice.
"I'm a woman, Ah Cheng is young, and she was able to break through from Yijing and go all the way to Xiangguan alive, thanks to the loyalty of the soldiers and the protection of their lives."
"Now I learned that the Wuhuan cavalry went south, and in order to protect Acheng's blood, they actually left them behind and fled to Xiangguan quickly. He also asked his uncle to borrow some soldiers and horses, and went with this Zhao Du Lieutenant to pick them up. ”
"Bai Ma Yi has always been the brainchild of his father, if even the seeds are broken, what face do I have to see my father under Jiuquan."
Gongsun Yan's string of cries made Gongsun Da's face change, and Zuo Ping, who was ushered out of the city, looked embarrassed.
Gongsun Da is responsible for guarding the pass, and without a military order, how dare he easily transfer troops out of the pass, but ......
Although Gongsun Da said that because of Gongsun Zhan's death, he was trembling and worried about the change of Gongsun Zhan's family, but he was also a loyal warrior in the end, and he also respected loyal people, so he gritted his teeth at the moment.
"Good! A certain subordinate general led two hundred horsemen to follow this Zhao Duwei to respond. ”
borrowed the soldiers, but Gongsun Da still didn't dare to hand over the soldiers to Zhao Yun, who he didn't know the roots, and was ready to send his own personal general Wang Yan to supervise the envoy.
Although 200 horses are less, it is better than nothing, and with more than 200 horses in their headquarters, even if they are unfortunate against Adu, it will increase the chances of victory.
Gongsun Yan immediately covered his face with his sleeves and thanked Gongsun Da in tears.
Don't dare to fool, treat people as fools in front of them, even if he can't cry well, Gongsun Yan still rubs his eyes with his sleeves, and really sheds some tears.
She hid her face and hung her head, and her collar revealed the color of her filial piety clothes.
Seeing her crying, Zuo Ping, who wanted to stop her, also silently stopped her mouth.
Zuo Ping is a veteran of the Gongsun family, and Gongsun Chan also grew up under his watch, and Gongsun Yan is like a junior in his eyes.
Pity her for going through these changes, Zuo Ping sighed and arched his hand: "In this case, I will also divide a hundred cavalry and go with this Zhao Du Lieutenant." ”
The fifty cavalry that Zhang Zhi and Wang Wu took away before were all his troops, plus these 100 cavalry, it was already the limit of Zuo Ping's ability to call the shots, and the remaining foot soldiers, even if they were allocated, would only be dragged down in the face of cavalry.
Gongsun Yan raised his hand and wiped the corners of his red eyes, and gave a blessing to this veteran with white hair but strong spirits, "Thank you, old general." ”
"Where is the little lady, a certain surname is Zuo Mingping, and she is a general of the Gongsun family." Zuo Ping stepped aside and didn't accept Gongsun Yan's salute, "I don't deserve the little lady's thanks." ”
Zuo Ping calls himself a trilogy general, but his qualifications are even if Gongsun Zhan comes, he has to pay three points, Gongsun Yan doesn't know the inside story, but he still has a look in his eyes, and he won't listen to him say that he is a trilogy general, not to mention that people borrow troops to help.
The group entered through the city gate, the winch twisted, and the suspension bridge was raised again.
On the one hand, Gongsun Da arranged for his own general Wang Yan to order the cavalry, and on the other hand, he personally settled the Gongsun Yan sisters and brothers in an exquisitely arranged mansion.
Gongsun Yan observed without a trace, the ground was swept clean, the flowers and trees in the yard were sparse, and although the home furnishings were not high-class luxury, they should also be carefully arranged.
Her heart suddenly became more stable, and Ling Zhi didn't mention the situation, at least in Xiangguan, Gongsun Da should welcome their arrival.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, who had been guarding tightly, also relaxed a little.
Gongsun Yan opened his mouth to borrow soldiers to fight snakes with the stick, but he also tested the attitude of Gongsun Da and Zuo Ping.
The soldiers of the troop are all precious resources, and they will never be allocated to others easily, let alone allocated a day's food.
The grandchildren should be safe here for now.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun gave Xiahoulan a look, and Xiahoulan untied Gongsun Cheng who was tied in front of him, and handed the child who was still feverish into the hands of Gongsun Yan.
As soon as he arrived in the familiar embrace, Gongsun Cheng immediately hugged Gongsun Yan's neck and did not let go.
Gongsun Da and Zuo Ping on the side finally saw Gongsun Cheng who was jumping around, and they breathed a long sigh of relief in their hearts.
has a good impression of Zhao Yun Xiahoulan's loyalty.
Especially Zuo Ping, he was not dissatisfied with being guarded, but glanced at Zhao Yun with great appreciation.
Two young maids were welcomed in the house, saying that they had already prepared a meal.
Gongsun Yan hugged Gongsun Cheng and looked at the mansion, and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
After many days in this troubled world, she can finally have a decent place to rest and settle down.
Hope to get a good shower.
Gongsun Yan, who was determined in his heart, turned around and planned to say a few words of thanks to Gongsun Da.
The system, which had never been silent and would not take the initiative to jump out, made a sharp whistle sound, which automatically popped up in front of Gongsun Yan's eyes, and the bright red color that was different from the past occupied her right field of vision.
Gongsun Yan was so frightened by the sudden change that he didn't have time to think about how to explain it, so he saw the content displayed by the system clearly.
A bold and black font appears on the red page, revealing two tasks.
The content of these two tasks made Gongsun Yan's eyes widen, like falling into an ice cellar.
