Chapter 104: Cavalry

"Gao Yuan, why are you back?" Wu Kai asked in surprise.

"Gao Yuan, how is the battle ahead?" Lu Hong couldn't hide the nervousness on his face.

"Don't worry, my lords, the battle ahead is over. Our army destroyed the old Hutu battalion, wiped out the Hutu cavalry, and captured La Trobe alive. We have won this battle." Gao Yuan looked at the two of them and saluted with fists.

"Okay, beautiful!" Lu Hong was overjoyed, rubbing his hands again and again, beaming with joy.

Wu Kai also nodded again and again: "Okay, okay, finally let out a bad breath, Gao Yuan, send me Latobe, see if I don't make him want to die, I will not be named Wu!"

"How's the harvest?" Lu Hong asked.

Gao Yuan thought about it for a while, and laid an ambush, "Uncle, the specific situation is not clear, but it should be indispensable. There are countless cattle, sheep and horses, and there may be some floating money, but more importantly, we rescue The Fufeng people who were looted by them last time, right, where is Tian Cheng?"

"Tian Cheng fought with us this time, so he got a little injured. But it's okay, it's almost enough to rest for ten days and a half months." Lu Hong said with a smile.

"That's good!" Gao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, just entering the door, he didn't see Cao Tiancheng, and felt a little worried, "I'll go to see him later, I have good news to tell him, his son and daughter I found them all, and everything is fine, but his wife is gone.”

"One son and one daughter survived, it is considered a blessing among misfortunes, Gao Yuan, since the front is a big victory, you shouldn't come back, you joined forces with the Huns, now you are gone, there is no one in charge ahead, The Huns might snatch our gains, and we will suffer a loss at that time." Wu Kai had pulled himself together at this time, grabbed La Trobe, and let him feel relieved.

"Master Wu, don't worry, although He Lanxiong is a Hun, he is also a good man. I have discussed with him the distribution of the spoils beforehand, and he will not break his promise. What's more, now Sun Xiao, Yan Haibo, infantry and others are leading Seeing that our army is all there, how can we just stand at a disadvantage? Uncle should know that Sun Xiao is a guy who absolutely refuses to suffer." Gao Yuan laughed and said, "I heard that Fufeng City was destroyed, so I couldn't rest assured, so I hurried back Look, seeing that everyone is safe, a stone fell from my heart."

Wu Kai laughed, "I'm afraid it's not about us two old guys, but about your beautiful fiancee, right? Seeing how you look, I don't need to ask, of course you're fine."

"God bless, my aunt actually dug a hole in her house to hide in. I don't know when it was dug. It was because of this hole that they escaped the catastrophe, but the house was ruined and they were robbed." I'm naked." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "I just came from home."

"It's good that everyone is fine. When the city was broken, I sent Zheng Xiaoyang to your house to pick them up to the county government, but it was all in vain. At that time, they must have hid in a hole in the ground. The Ye family went through a big storm." It’s not surprising that people have been prepared.” The secrets of the Ye family, the three of them didn’t want to talk about it here, so they just mentioned it in one word.

"By the way, Master Wu, uncle, how did Fufeng City be destroyed? It stands to reason that this is unlikely? Don't say that we were prepared beforehand, even if we were unprepared, how could Latrobe's four hundred cavalry break through? Fufeng City?" Gao Yuan asked.

Wu Kai and Lu Hong looked at each other, "Gao Yuan, follow us."

The three of them walked into a wing room in the county mansion. Outside the wing room, several heavily armed soldiers were standing with their knives on their hands. They were heavily guarded. Judging by their appearance, they had also experienced fierce battles. I saw three people coming,

They all held their swords and bowed to salute.

Lu Hong pushed open the door, "Gao Yuan, come in."

There are several beds in the house, and several scarred soldiers are lying on the beds wrapped like rice dumplings.

"This is?" Gao Yuan looked at Lu Hong suspiciously.

"Latrobe broke into the city from the west city. These are the few surviving soldiers in the west city that we rescued on the battlefield after the war. Their lives were considered serious. Although they were seriously injured, they left a It is precisely because they survived that they solved this doubt for us." Lu Hong's face was a little heavy.

"Is there a spy?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Gao Yuan, you are right. There are indeed spies. These spies attacked the soldiers guarding the west city, killed Naha's officer Zhenzhe, and opened the west gate. I'm afraid you can't guess who the spies are?" Wu Anger appeared on Kay's face.

Gao Yuan thought for a moment, "Could it be the Huo family?"

Both Wu Kai and Lu Hong looked at Gao Yuan in surprise, "How did you guess it?"

Looking at the expressions of the two, Gao Yuan knew that he had guessed right, "It's actually not too difficult to guess. The soldiers under Naha just came back from Juliguan not long ago, and they are in good spirits, and they want to kill them silently. The officer who led their team and took Ximen, this person should be an acquaintance, and the status should not be low. In our Fufeng, there are not many people who meet this condition, and the only person who has connections with the Donghu people is Huo Zhu. Family. Have you caught him?"

Both Lu Hong and Wu Kai shook their heads regretfully, "This dog is very shrewd. Now that I think about it, he has already made a plan. Since the new year, his family members have stayed in Liaoxi City and have not returned. We I didn't care, after La Trobe left in a panic, the dog ran away."

"He can't run away!" Gao Yuan clenched his fists, "He has done such insane things, there is no place for him in this world, and there are not many places for him to hide. We will eventually catch him and sacrifice him Undead who died in vain in Fufeng City."

"It's easier said than done, if he runs back to Liaoxi City and takes shelter of Linghu Dan, what can we do to him?" Wu Kai sighed.

Gao Yuan smiled coldly, "We have nothing to do with him, but what about Zhang Taishou? It is much less dependent on them now. This time the Hutu attack destroyed Wu Da's winery. It's a great source of wealth for the prefect, so it's no wonder the prefect is not furious? Besides, we captured La Trobe, which is a living proof. We hand La Trobe to the prefect, and let the prefect deal with Linghudan. I think the prefect has long been displeased with Linghu Dan. He used to get a lot of money from him to make up for the lack of military expenses, but now he no longer relies on him. Is it possible that the prefect is still staring at the Linghu family? Such a nail in Liaoxi?"

"That's right!" Lu Hong nodded again and again: "Gao Yuan, when the matter on Fufeng's side comes to an end, you will follow me to Liaoxi City, report to the prefect, capture Huo Zhu, overthrow Linghu Dan, and come out happily." This bad breath. You have friendship with Zhang Junbao and Zhang Shubao, and the two young masters also value you very much. When the time comes, you should blow the wind in front of them, and then let the two of them go to the prefect to fiddle with it, so that Linghu will not be afraid. I can still jump around, I really suspect that the instigator behind this incident is Linghu Dan, I am afraid that Huo Zhu has no courage to do such a thing, not to mention that Huo Zhu has limited manpower, and he attacked Xicheng The people who survived said that Chen Zhe was killed almost without making a sound, which shows that the person who did it was very skilled. How can there be such a character under Huo Zhu!"

"Uncle is right, this time Fufeng has suffered a catastrophe, the prefect will inevitably be unhappy, we bring some spoils to present, lest the prefect take his anger on us."

"You are right in thinking, Gao Yuan, can you get some war horses back? The prefect has always wanted to build a cavalry team, but due to insufficient sources of war horses, it has never been done." Lu Hong asked.

"This time we took down the Hutu tribe, of course there is no shortage of war horses. I reckon that we can distribute 500 good war horses, and then we will offer 200 horses to the prefect, which should be enough. Leave 300 horses for our own use." Gao Yuan said.

"For personal use? Gao Yuan, do you want to get a cavalry too?"

"Uncle, although we have wiped out the Hutu tribe this time, we are not sure that other Donghu tribes will come to trouble us in the future? This time we are relying on the cavalry of the Huns He Lanxiong. What about next time? Always Relying on others is not safe, we have to have our own cavalry, to fight the Donghu people, it is really impossible to have no cavalry, even if it is to assist the infantry to fight, it is also indispensable."

"You want to get a cavalry force of 300 men, isn't it too eye-catching?" Lu Hong was full of doubts, "Maybe the prefect may have an idea."

"How can we get so many?" Gao Yuan said with a smile: "It is not easy for us to find a hundred people who can ride horses. I want to get a hundred cavalrymen, so I prepared three hundred The horses are for follow-up supplements. The loss of war horses is nothing to the Donghu or the Huns, but it is difficult for us. The good thing of annihilating the Hutu tribe does not happen every year, so be prepared. , and if there is any loss at that time, it can be replenished in time!"

"You miss Zhou Xiang!" Lu Hong smiled and said, "I can rest assured that the hundred cavalry will be placed in Juliguan and not return to Fufeng City, so it will not be so dazzling."

"Uncle Mingjian!" Gao Yuan smiled.

Cao Tiancheng walked up to Gao Yuan leaning on crutches. An arrow hit his calf, which hurt his bone. Although the injury was not serious, it was not serious. Within two or three months, it was It is impossible to walk on this injured leg. Seeing Cao Tiancheng's appearance, Gao Yuan decided not to tell him that he found Cao Lian'er and Cao Tianci for the time being. Once he knows, he must run to meet him immediately. Now he looks like this , apart from aggravating the injury, there will be no other results, anyway, the meeting will be for a while, so it doesn't matter if the happiness comes a little later. He encouraged him a few words in a low voice, and only said that he would take him back to Juliguan tomorrow, but he didn't say anything else.
