Chapter 186: The Wind Rises
It is said that the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, but now it is the bleak autumn wind. The dead branches and grass leaves are flying with the wind. The horse galloped on the grassland, shouting loudly, and the joy was beyond words.
More than 600 cavalry went out from Fufeng, all the way deep into the hinterland of Donghu, traveled thousands of miles, and went through bloody battles. Up to now, there are still more than 300 cavalry, and the rest have fallen in that vast area.
The dead are gone, but the living will continue. After the grief, the ashes of the brothers who died in battle were collected, and the survivors began to embark on the journey home.
Arriving at the Helan Department, after a day of carnival, Gao Yuan broke up with He Lanyan and led more than 300 people towards Juliguan. Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to home, the joy of the soldiers became more and more prosperous. At home, there are enthusiastic Brother, there are steaming meals and warm quilts, and everyone can't wait to urge the horses, wanting to rush back to Juliguan as quickly as possible.
Looking at the excited brothers, Gao Yuan was also extremely happy. This time, so many brothers came home, which was far beyond his expectations. Speaking of which, I really have to thank Bai Yucheng, who killed the sky. Beside him, Huang Zhan and Zhang Dongsheng were also full of joy. During this attack, the cavalry led by the two of them suffered the most. Whether it was the Xiongnu cavalry led by He Lanyan or the Fufeng cavalry led by Gao Yuan, they all had experience with the Donghu people. A long time of combat experience, and the two of them, although the cavalry they led were well-trained, but among their respective troops, they were the treasures of the treasures. Naturally, they were a little arrogant, but this time the battle was won After witnessing the bravery and skill of the Huns cavalry and the Fufeng cavalry, as well as their excellent horsemanship, horse fighting and galloping, these cavalry were eye-opening. Zhan two hundred and fifty rides. Only a hundred riders could come back, Zhang Dongsheng had a hundred and fifty riders, and only seventy riders could come back, but the two of them didn't feel distressed at all, and those who came back alive, compared with before, had completely changed , with them as the core, and form a cavalry, the combat effectiveness will definitely be much higher than before. Besides, relying on the relationship between Gao Yuan and the Helan tribe, there will be no worries about the lack of war horses in the future.
"When I go back this time, General Shubao and General Desheng will be very distressed!" Gao Yuan looked at the two people on the left and right, and said with a smile: "I might rush to Juliguan and beat me up, but I will piss their baby Too much has been put in."
"No, absolutely not!" Zhang Dongsheng shook his head again and again, "Although there are fewer people, the combat power has increased. Captain Gao, we lost nearly a hundred people this time. Turn around. You have to prepare more than a hundred horses for us." .”
"That's right, Captain Gao, I want two hundred horses for my father." Huang Zhan shouted.
"Three hundred horses all at once, are you eating big players?" Gao Yuan laughed. "Compared to me, you are the real big family, I'm just a small county captain!"
"Lieutenant Gao, don't tell lies in front of real people.
We travel thousands of miles all the way, fighting side by side, it can be regarded as a friendship poured out of blood, so there is no need to be hypocritical, you county lieutenant, I am afraid that not only we are in western Liaoning, even in the whole of Dayan, you are the only one, right? Thousands of soldiers with super combat effectiveness, and hundreds of cavalry, our general Shubao's left army is nothing more than that, right? In fact, along the way, I have been thinking, if our two troops clash, we really can't beat it! "Zhang Dongsheng shook his head and said.
"You can't talk nonsense!" Gao Yuan shook his hands. "We are just county soldiers, how can we compare with the regular soldiers in your county? If General Shubao and General Desheng listen to this, wouldn't they want to Laugh out loud!"
"I used to think so too!" Zhang Dongsheng sighed, "But this time I went to battle with you, I really saw the fighting power of your subordinates, Captain Gao, look at the brothers who can come back this time, more than three hundred Qi, your subordinates account for more than half of them, and your combat power is achieved by fighting, not blown out. Whoever is good and who is not, after a battle, everything is clear."
"General Zhang's words are true. Although I can't lose a lot of troops this time, the rest are all elites. Lieutenant Gao, we all shed blood together. There is nothing to hide. My father and uncle General Bao is not such a small-minded person. Could it be that he gave you small shoes because of the strength of your subordinates? General Shubao is too happy to be happy? General Zhang, do you think so?" Huang Zhan said with a smile.
"Huang Zhan's words are authentic, the more powerful you are, the happier General Shubao will be. Lieutenant Gao, General Shubao will regard you as a real brother who can entrust great things to you!" Zhang Dongsheng said with a smile.
Gao Yuan smiled slightly, it seems that Zhang Dongsheng is Zhang Shubao's absolute confidant, this is basically a naked solicitation. But when it comes to this, it would be hypocritical to cover it up.
"Elite soldiers are produced by fighting. Although the county soldiers are well trained, they have never really fought a big battle. After all, they are so short!" Gao Yuan said earnestly, "I heard that the prefect is the best among the county soldiers. That one of your lord's personal soldiers?"
"That's what General Lu Hong Lu told you, right?" Zhang Dongsheng laughed. It is from this army. Although there are only 500 people, their combat effectiveness is stronger than that of our left and right troops."
Gao Yuan nodded.
"Lieutenant Gao Xian, your subordinates are not bad now, and General Shubao is full of praise!" Zhang Dongsheng repeated the old words, and brought the topic back, "Huang Zhan, are you right? Thinking about it, I want to have a drink with you, Gao Xianwei!"
"That's it!" Huang Zhan nodded repeatedly.
"I know it in my heart!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, but he could only speculate about this matter, and he could neither refuse nor agree to it.
Looking at Gao Yuan's reaction, Zhang Dongsheng's eyes flashed with disappointment. He looked at Huang Zhan and shook his head helplessly. It seems that if he wants to draw Gao Yuan into General Shubao's camp, he has to do it slowly. Water grinds kung fu. This time he went out with Gao Yuan and saw the combat effectiveness of Gao Yuan's subordinates. Zhang Dongsheng believed that General Shu Bao would invest heavily in his capital after listening to his report.
Suddenly a melodious horn sounded in front of them, interrupting the conversation between the three of them. Hearing the sound of the horn, Gao Yuan let out a sigh. This was the news from Fufeng soldiers that friendly troops had arrived. After the horn sounded for a long time, followed by Three short urgency, this means that the third team of Juliguan, that is, Sun Xiao's team, came back by themselves, and did not inform the Ministry of Juliguan of the specific time of their return, how could Sun Xiao appear there? here?
Hearing the sound of the horn, the running Fufeng cavalry immediately reined in their horses and began to gather in formation. Zhang Dongsheng and Huang Zhan didn't know why, looked at Gao Yuan, and asked in unison: "Captain Gao, what happened?" ?”
"It's okay, Sun Xiao is here." Gao Yuan waved his hand.
"Sun Xiao, it's possible that he has grown clairvoyant and can't hear the wind, how did he know that we will come back today?" Huang Zhan said in surprise.
The three of them were astonished. The sentry cavalry in front had already appeared in everyone's field of vision. Around the sentry cavalry, there were several other cavalry following. The leader was Sun Xiao. The third group of troops did not appear, so they came here Only Sun Xiao was there.
Sun Xiao came on horseback, galloped up to Gao Yuan, got off his horse, "Soldier Cao Sunxiao of the 3rd Brigade of Fufeng County Soldiers, I have seen Captain Gao!" Sun Xiao thumped his left chest with his right hand and said loudly.
"What happened, Sun Xiao, why are you here? Where is your army?" Gao Yuan asked loudly.
Sun Xiao glanced at Huang Zhan and Zhang Dongsheng, thinking that there was nothing to hide, took two steps forward, took out Zhang Shubao's letter from his bosom, and held it up with both hands, "County captain, the third subordinate The team was stationed about 50 miles away from Juli Pass, and the subordinates dispatched a total of dozens of horsemen to meet the county lieutenant on the road where he might come back. I was lucky and found the county lieutenant directly."
After taking the letter from Sun Xiao, Gao Yuan asked in doubt, "What happened?"
"Ye Tiannan has become the Prime Minister of Dayan!" Sun Xiao said simply.
"Ye Tiannan became the Prime Minister? Has Linghu Chao collapsed?" Gao Yuan first casually answered, and then he suddenly realized who Ye Tiannan was, and immediately jumped up, "Ye Tiannan?!"
Sun Xiao nodded heavily, "Yes, Ye Tiannan, Miss Jing'er's father, in Fufeng City, the people sent by Ye Tiannan have already protected Mrs. Ye and Miss Jing'er. I don't know the specifics, uncle. General Bao wrote very clearly in his letter."
Gao Yuan stared at Sun Xiao intently, and Sun Xiao's heart felt a little numb, and he turned his head to look elsewhere unnaturally.
With a thud, Gao Yuan tore open the envelope. Zhang Shubao's letter was extremely long. It not only described the cause and effect of the Jicheng coup in great detail, but also described everything that happened in Fufeng City and everything that might happen. clearly.
Gao Yuan in front just glanced over it, and after reading the letter, there was only one line left in his eyes, "Mr. Ye is likely to regret the marriage!"
Repenting of the marriage, are they going to take away their Jing'er? Gao Yuan's fists were slowly clenched, and his eyes gradually turned cold.
"What's the situation in Juliguan?" He took a deep breath and asked Sun Xiaodao.
"I heard that the prefect Zhang who delivered the letter sent General Lu Hong to Juliguan."
Gao Yuan sneered, "Let Uncle Lu go to Juliguan, is he trying to control me, stop me at Juliguan, and not allow me to go back to Fufeng City?"
"I guess that's what I mean!" Sun Xiao nodded. "Before I came, I had already discussed it with several others. The Fufeng soldiers are the troops of the county lieutenant, even General Lu. Everyone has no objection!"
"Very good!" Gao Yuan nodded, "Sun Xiao, you go back immediately, all troops are on combat readiness."
"Understood!" Sun Xiao nodded heavily, "How about you, County Captain?"
"I will arrive later, and when I arrive, I will not stop at Juliguan, but return directly to Fufeng!" Gao Yuan said coldly.
"Yes!" Sun Xiao answered loudly, Hui Sheng climbed up on the horse, rode the horse and swung the whip, it really came and went in a hurry.
Gao Yuan turned his head, looked at the hundreds of cavalry on the left and right, and shouted: "All dismount, rest, and eat." (To be continued..)
