Chapter 62: The Messenger

Liaoxi County, Qinzhi, 3,300 miles northeast of Luoyang, there are five cities of Yangle, Haiyang, Lingzhi, Feiru and Linyu, with 34,150 households and 241,710 mouths.

Xiangguan is located between Liaoxi County and Youbeiping County, only a day's journey away from Lingzhi City, it is a key pass on the border of the northern land, after the snow stops, there will be caravans to and fro.

In the northland in the spring of March, although the snow stopped, the temperature did not turn much.

The customs system is implemented here, and many important places on land and water are set up to collect taxes.

A caravan went from western Liaoning to Jizhou, passed through Xiangguan, and gathered at the city gate to wait for the verification of the letter.

Five-inch long wooden or silk talismans must have an official seal, and they are not required to enter and exit the customs, and whether they are private individuals or caravans, they will be punished very severely.

In the distance, a fast horse, with a few flags behind him, rushed along the gallop road with smoke and dust.

The soldiers standing far away on the rammed earth city wall watchtower rang the bronze bell hanging in the watchtower.

Bell ~ Bell Bell ......

When the bell first rang, there was some commotion in the caravan lining in front of the city gate, and when they listened carefully to the rhythm of the bell, the experienced caravan immediately understood that it was a messenger who delivered military reports in the army.

The caravan immediately urged the cattle and horses to make way to the towers.

Blocking the messenger's path and being cut down on the spot is light, and if the military situation is delayed, it is easy to destroy the family.

Under the gaze of many people, a fierce knight galloped to the palace and ran all the way to the captain's mansion.

"Newspaper—"

The messenger turned over and dismounted in front of the captain's mansion, and immediately a guard from the lieutenant's mansion came to hold his mount for him.

"Report! An urgent report came from Jun Sima Wang Yan. The messenger lifted the bamboo tube that was slung to his chest, raised it with one hand above his head, and shouted all the way to the lobby of the Captain's Mansion.

The officials of all sizes who came and went to the school governor's mansion stopped and gave way to let the messenger pass, but there was a little drumming in their hearts.

The news of the defeat and self-immolation of the governor of Youzhou Shi Gongsun Chan has spread all over the north, and the storm is faintly brewing and fermenting, and everyone knows that Gongsun Da's position as a lieutenant is recommended by Gongsun Zhan, and the orphan of Gongsun Chan has come to Xiangguan yesterday.

This time, Gongsun Daqin sent Wang Yan I don't know what news, and what changes will it cause?

Those who are active have already exchanged glances in private, planning to move around more with their colleagues.

Gongsun Da was not wearing armor, only wearing dark clothes, wearing a crown and a sword, and discussed matters with Zuo Ping in the house.

The safe arrival of Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Cheng made him and Zuo Ping breathe a long sigh of relief, no matter what twists and turns happened along the way, as long as Gongsun sisters and brothers were safe, it was the best news.

Zuo Ping came to the school captain's mansion from the pavilion to discuss the matter of leaving the customs with Gongsun Da.

Abdul Na is still wandering outside, and he still sends his grandson sister and brother to Lingzhi as soon as possible.

At this time, the two were sitting and drinking tea with relaxed expressions, and they listened to the clattering of horses' hooves outside the house.

"Report - there is an urgent report from Jun Sima Wang Yan."

Gongsun Da and Zuo Ping's faces changed at the same time, could it be that something happened on the way to answer?

Gongsun Da hurriedly stood up.

The messenger ran all the way into the lobby, and the general who was guarding Gongsun Da hurriedly stepped forward, took the bamboo tube offered by the messenger's hands, and turned around to dedicate it to Gongsun Da.

Gongsun Da took it with a dark face, and after checking the integrity of the sealing wax, he opened the bamboo tube and took out a scroll of silk books.

Unfolded a look, the expression on his face changed several times in an instant, first angry, then shocked, and finally admired and admired.

"It's worthy of being the elite under Brother Bergui." In Zuo Ping's puzzled and urging eyes, Gongsun Da sighed with emotion and handed over the silk book in his hand, "Uncle Zuo, look." ”

When Zuo Ping carefully read the contents of the silk book, Gongsun Da sat back on the table, and his heart was full of emotion.

The messenger sent the report of the battle of Yangqiuli.

Eight hundred and seventy-seven were captured, 760 horses were captured, 630 swords were captured, and the rest of the equipment and materials were counted separately......

And the one who played such a beautiful result was actually only defeated and broke through not long ago, and more than 280 white horse righteous cavalry.

After breaking through the siege and trekking in the snow for more than half a month, they were able to achieve such a result.

Gongsun Da took a cool breath like a toothache, and recklessly lifted the tea soup on the desk and drank it in one gulp.

In just a few sentences in the battle report, the night attack on the camp, the suspicious soldiers, and the ambush on the long slope were defeated head-on.

But Gongsun Da was also born in the army, so how could he not make up for the situation at that time.

He was happy and greedy for this.

The guy who was happy to be a troubler for him was defeated, and he coveted such an elite cavalry.

Unlike Gongsun Da, who was obviously very happy, Zuo Ping's heart was much more complicated, he read the silk book several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Do you know what happened to Adula?" ”

After sending the bamboo tube, the messenger did not leave, stood at the foot of the hall and waited for the inquiry, and when he heard Zuo Ping's question, he immediately replied: "The enemy leader Abdul has escaped with an arrow, and his whereabouts are unknown." ”

Hearing that Abuna didn't know his whereabouts, a hint of relaxation appeared on the faces of Gongsun Da and Zuo Ping at the same time.

Gongsun Da didn't know what it was like, although he kept talking ruthlessly, but if Aduina died, I was afraid that it would not be a good thing, but after confirming that Aduina was not dead, he felt regretful in his heart, and sighed at the moment.

Gongsun Da's performance did not escape Zuo Ping's eyes, and he threw a warning glance at Gongsun Da: "If Adu's body is dead, I am afraid that Mao Dun will go crazy, and the war on the border will start again." ”

Zuo Ping's words made a hint of sneer appear on Gongsun Da's dark face; Uncle Zuo said with a smile, what year did Wuhuan not go south to Koubian? Abdul Na is going crazy to death, and it is not Maudun's turn to be mad. "There are other people who are crazy.

"Ada." Zuo Ping interrupted Gongsun Da's words loudly, his eyes swept over the people in the hall, and he picked up the battle report and read it again

After a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"There are a lot of talents under Bogui's account!" Zuo Ping sighed, it's a pity that Gongsun Chan is cronyistic, such a young and brave general who is proficient in the art of war, will become atmospheric in time, but he is only the position of a captain.

As long as you are a little higher-born, even if you have great talent, you will never be reused.

The identity is slightly cold, and the chivalrous spirit is compatible, even if it is a rice bucket waste, it will be a heavy responsibility.

It was such an employment policy that led to the defeat of Gongsun Zhan.

However, Zuo Ping didn't say it directly, Gongsun Da next to him was recommended by Gongsun Zhan, and it was inevitable that he would be suspected of scolding Huai.

Besides, even if Gongsun Chan is a concubine, he can't comment at will.

I didn't notice another meaning under Zuo Ping's emotion, Gongsun Da, as a simple martial artist, has always been sheltered under the prestige of Gongsun Zhan, he is not stupid, but he still has a lot less eyes than Zuo Ping and other generals.

What he was interested in at this time was how this battle was planned and fought!

At that moment, he ordered someone to get the map, and called the staff to deduce the battle situation in the hall.

Zuo Ping didn't have such an interest as him, he frowned and thought more, if the Gongsun Yan sisters and brothers were weaker, but the subordinates were so strong, I was afraid that many of the previous arrangements of the head of the family would not go smoothly.

Besides, they had already been sent to ask for help, and at this time, the danger was lifted, and it was better to order someone to report it quickly.

Zuo Ping thought in his heart, returned to the post house under the pretext, re-wrote a letter, and ordered someone to send it to Lingzhi quickly.
