"Mr. Gongze has arrived!"

"Mr. Gongzhi? Why did he come?! ”

When Guo Tu heard Yuan Tan's surprised and impatient rhetorical question, he almost couldn't hold that amiable face after several days of fatigue and fear.

"How can the eldest prince be so reckless?! Xincheng sent a message, Lu Bu divided his troops to take Gao Tang, and the eldest prince should return to the army as soon as possible! ”

"Returning to the army?" Yuan Tan asked incredulously, "Don't you see the current situation?" ”

"Eldest prince, Gao Tang can't be lost!"

Yuan Tan suddenly became furious!

"Can I lose my soldiers?!"

These fierce and resolute eyes instantly reminded Guo Tu of his lord Yuan Shao, the heroic man who fought to the death under the siege of thousands of cavalry, took off his belt and landed on the ground, and shouted "The big husband is fighting to the death".

Yuan Tan's bravery is actually no less than his father's, but this is far from enough.

…… No, it's all trifle, it's all trifle.

Guo Tu quickly woke up from that moment of emotion and shouted:

"How stupid the eldest prince is! The son of a daughter, he can't sit down! Now that he can return to the division, he can still hold Gaotang and be invincible, if he is one step later and Lu Bu is ordered to capture Gaotang, what is the use of the eldest prince saving this army? ! Don't talk about these soldiers! It's the eldest prince, yourself, can this person outrun those people who are not in the state with one ride?! ”

The river is still boiling.

The rear army was to line up and join the cavalry, and the soldiers who were still struggling in the river were left unconcerned about their lives or deaths.

Gao Shun's trap camp gathered on the shore, and hundreds of additional archers were brought in, lined up, and pulled the bowstring. As soon as the general gave the order, the arrows pierced the back of the soldier as if chasing the target.

The wailing, the crying, the screams, the cries for help, mingled with the sound of sharp arrows piercing the night sky.

"Don't hesitate anymore!" Guo Tu urged, "Here I will break the queen!" ”

Yuan Tan hesitated, turned the horse's head, and just took a few steps, there was a loud shout in the mourning behind him!

"Childe abandons me!"

"Childe abandons me!"

"The eldest son!"

He suddenly grabbed the reins, and his eyes widened as if they were about to burst open!

"The eldest son!" Qin Suice immediately stepped forward, and when he hurriedly tried to persuade him to go first, he saw bloody tears in the eyes of the eldest prince.

When that tear fell into the grass under the horse's hooves, Yuan Tan took his relatives without looking back, rode his horse north, and disappeared into the night.

Guo Tu was not prepared to keep this Chinese army, he had a plan in his heart, and decided that as long as this rear army took the defensive position and did not retreat by the river, the people of Bingzhou would soon withdraw.

Because the sky is about to dawn, the surface of the river will gradually become foggy.

The people of the state will not stay, and those soldiers who have not been killed by the arrows can also take advantage of the fog to climb onto the shore and regroup.

All he needed was to wait.

Standing by the river, Lu Bu, who was watching all this coldly, was also waiting.

"General?" Chen Gong rode his horse over, "The morning fog is about to rise, has the general ever ordered Hao Meng to withdraw his troops?" ”

"Well," Lu Bu replied, "How's Bosson's injuries are?" ”

"General Gao said that it was not in the way, and there was the ...... sent to Gao Tang"

Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong talking about such and such things beside him, and stared at the banks of the Jishui River that was gradually rising.

The weather is so dry, the river is so shallow, and the sudden rise of the water is very strange, most likely because there are too many corpses piled up somewhere downstream, so the river is blocked.

He should be very happy when he thinks of this, he has always been happy for his bravery and good fighting, and he has risen step by step from a mediocre master book in the Assassin's Mansion to a well-known Wenhou Lu Bu in the world.

He just suddenly remembered Lu Lian.

It is said that Lu Lian is nominally no longer Liu Bei's other driver, but has become the other driver of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Kong Rong.

Of course, the people in Qingxu and Xu know that Lu Lian is not only a different driver, but also the real master of the other half of Qingzhou across the Yellow River from Yuan Tan.

She was obviously just a miscellaneous servant in his house, but later she was a swordsman, a small general, even far inferior to him in terms of background, and at most comparable to him in terms of martial arts.

…… When it comes to dealing with people, Xiao Lu is smarter than him.

But that wasn't enough to explain why she got what he had always wanted, but never got it.

Fame, merit, and a vast territory where you can make your life.

Morning mist slowly rose on the river, and the cavalry withdrew to the camp south of Jishui with shouts.

The next thing was to wait for the sun to rise and the fog to lift, and they could sort the bodies one by one.

On their own side, they should be buried well, they should keep a record of the roster, and they should find a way to give some compensation to the families of the soldiers who died in the war.

This kind of thing was a trivial matter for Lu Bu, but he suddenly cared about it at this time, and insisted on following to see those dead soldiers, as well as the soldiers who were not yet dead, but were also seriously injured. Xiao Lu attaches great importance to this matter, and even better than pursuing the enemy army and expanding the results of the battle.

Lu Bu thought that this might not have anything to do with her being able to become Lu Lian today.

But maybe it has something to do with it.

And after leaving Chang'an, running around in vain for so long, and winning so many battles, he suddenly wanted to try to learn from it.

Chapter 212

Although this was a cavalry, Lü Bu's division did not move quickly.

They lit torches, crossed the river from Xincheng, and made a detour to the west of Gaotang, preparing to attack the city.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong thought of a very cunning strategy, they captured the banner of the Xianbei people, and this division of troops could disguise themselves as those Xianbei people, take advantage of the night to return to Gaotang, and coax the city to open the city.

Considering that Yuan Tan was not far ahead, the Gao Tang guards might not have thought of anything strange about this dejected-looking cavalry.

But the generals who led the cavalry were not interested in this feat.

Horses' hooves trampled across the dirt road, torches burned with grease, grass and insects sang in the fields beside the road, and the sky was full of stars and moons.

Wei Xu rode unhurriedly on his horse, thinking about his own affairs while watching the road in front of him gradually reveal clear from the darkness.

He was unwilling to return to Luoyang, nor was he willing to return to Merge State.

His clan originally had a lot of people, otherwise he wouldn't have his own private soldiers, but those clansmen slowly wandered and disappeared in the foreign invasion of Bingzhou year after year, and his parents also left early, so among the closer relatives, only his sister remained.

Wei Xu originally didn't think that he was very close to his sister, who was not the kind of talented woman with elegant feelings, nor was she a virtuous woman who was elegant and obedient. She is very chatty and strong, except for the Yan family, she can't tolerate a second side room in the mansion, so she quarreled with the general several times, and the general may have endured this breath for the sake of the Wei family. This even made Wei Xu a little embarrassed, and he always wanted to give the general a little fun outside and relax.

But my sister still wholeheartedly presided over the middle feed and took care of her husband, and she never slackened a little.

…… So why did she end up like that?

Is it because the general favors the side room? Yes, compared to his sister, the general does usually pamper Yan's more, and will remember what she likes to eat, what she likes to play, what color of silk she likes, what texture of jewelry she likes, and he also prefers to go to Yan's room-

But Yan was also abandoned by him and thrown into the blazing Chang'an City.

Wei Xu, who left the city in advance, didn't even know about these things, and even after he joined the general, everyone persuaded him: even if the situation was urgent and the female dependents were not good at riding horses, they would not be thrown into the mansion. The general must have found some of his relatives and friends, and sent them to be sent over and properly hidden.

In this huge Chang'an City, it is impossible for Li Dao and Guo Yan to kill the minister, what is the difficulty of hiding such two women?

Wei Xu really thought so, he believed in Lu Bu wholeheartedly, and even agreed with Lu Bu's decision in his heart every time he was displaced after that.

They traveled from place to place, and the hardships and hardships they suffered were indescribable, if they brought their sister, how could she endure it as a woman? It's better to stay in Chang'an, and when they settle down, they can always send someone to pick her up and reunite the family.

When they occupied Yanzhou, Pang Shu sent Yan back.

The peach-like beauty knelt on the ground, crying and telling how she had escaped from the mansion and how the Xiliang people had surrounded the mansion, and Wei Xu finally understood at that time.

After so long, he finally understood what a desperate fate his sister faced.

"The general is also forced to do so," someone advised him, "besides, you see, the general relies on you so much, and clearly regards you as an in-law, what are you worried about?" ”

…… What to worry about?

…… This truth really makes sense.

Marrying a woman is just to marry the good of the two families, since the Wei family has served under the general, and the general treats him so kindly, then whether there is that woman or not is actually not so important, and what reason does he have to worry about the general?

Even the general didn't think he had any reason to care, and after Yan brought back the news of Wei's tragic death, the general still treated him so kindly, and he didn't have any trouble.

But whenever Wei Xu saw Lu Bu's relaxed, frank face, and he couldn't say anything to others in his heart, there was always a strange resentment in his heart-

It is not a white horse used to make a blood alliance, it is not a cow wine used to show affection, and it is not a golden silk and precious jade.

That's his sister!

Even if she doesn't know anything, even if she is jealous by nature, even if she is getting older and has no good color, she is still his sister!!

She was just thrown there by her husband whom she trusted with all her heart, like a dog and a pig, and let the Xiliang people slaughter and slaughter her!

"General! There are sentries in front of you who have noticed the presence of enemy scouts! ”

"If Gao Tang is on guard, what can he do?"

"Are we going to attack hard?"

Wei Xu suddenly woke up from his memories and glanced at Hao Meng, who was walking with him.

"Brother Meng Wei, what do you think?"

The big man on the horse immediately replied with a straight face.

"I'm waiting to attack the city, but it's just to disturb Yuan Tan. Since the general wants to return to Luoyang in the west, even if he captures Gaotang, what is the use? ”

Of course, it is useful, not only can it cut off Yuan Tan's way back, annihilate his troops and horses, but it is more likely to capture Yuan Tan as a hostage and leave Qingzhou safely.

But general, if you want your subordinates to die like Taishi treats Lu Lian with kindness, you must also be upright.

Although he didn't know if Tai Shici loved Ji Meifei, Wei Xu at least knew that Xiao Lu would definitely not provoke his subordinates' daughters.

Wei Xu glanced at Hao Meng, who seemed to have a face full of words "I don't feel sorry for my own subordinate private soldiers, and I don't resent the general's cheating with my concubine, I just think about the general wholeheartedly", and sneered coldly in his heart.

Except for Gao Shun, there is no second person in the world who will be so loyal to Lu Bu.

He had to think of a way to force Gao Shun away.

"That's what I mean," Wei continued, "and let's go back." ”

The sun gradually rose to mid-heaven, and the banks of the river steamed up a damp and fishy heat.
