Chapter 325: I Join
The two were silent, you took a sip, and I took a sip, the liquor in the sprinkling pot was rapidly decreasing. The breeze blew over the hills, finally bringing a touch of refreshment to the dry and hot air. The sky suddenly darkened, and the two looked up, only to find a large group of clouds coming with the wind, completely blocking the disk-like moon. After a while, the clouds drifted away, the full moon revealed its true face again, and the silver-white light gently touched the bodies of the two of them again.
"Look, the clouds cover the moon and the sky is dark, but after all, it's only a moment. As long as you have the heart, you can keep the clouds open and see the moon!" Gao Yuan smiled and said to He Lanxiong, "Brother He Lan, there are not only One way. Come with me!"
He Lanxiong lowered his head, looked at Gao Yuan, "follow you?"
Gao Yuan nodded: "Brother He Lan, the Xiongnu are killing each other, and the Central Plains countries will inevitably add fuel to the flames and push this struggle to the extreme. It can be said that there will be no peace in the grassland since then. It is wise for the Wu family to go far away. , but they still have the strength to go far away into the desert, but the Helan tribe does not have the capital. With the current situation, I am afraid that if you step into the grassland, you will be eaten by ferocious wolves. Don't leave, follow me, I will I can’t promise anything else, but I can make your people’s lives better and more dignified. Under my banner, no matter which Hun tribe or other forces dare to set hands on them."
Looking at the silent He Lanxiong, Gao Yuan continued: "I can't deny that I need you too. The infantry of the Fufeng soldiers are strong enough, but the cavalry has always been weak. A strong cavalry cannot be formed in a short time. I have worked hard. In two years, only hundreds of cavalry have been trained. If you can join, Fufeng will have a strong cavalry team in a short time. Based on this, we will be able to build a cavalry team in a short time. An iron cavalry that traverses the world."
He Lanxiong remained silent, looked at the dimly lit Helan camp on the left, and turned to look at the prosperity of Juliguan on the right. He looked up. After drinking all the wine in the flagon in one gulp, he stood up abruptly.
"Brother Gao, I'm not the only one who has the final say on this matter. I'll go back and discuss it with the tribe." He turned to look at Gao Yuan.
"This is the meaning of the question!" Gao Yuan nodded and said, "This matter is not urgent. By the way, Brother He Lan. Now there is something wrong with your supplies, right? Go to Cao Tiancheng tomorrow, almost You can get whatever you want, and now there are piles of supplies in the residence, but there is no place to sell them."
"Thank you, Brother Gao!" He Lanxiong paused, "Although I haven't had my drink today, I'm going back. We will seriously consider Brother Gao's proposal."
"please!"
Tie Xuan walked to Gao Yuan's side, looked at He Lanxiong's figure galloping away with his whip, and said in a low voice, "General, you shouldn't give them supplies."
"What's the matter?" Gao Yuan asked.
"The further they go, the more they will lack supplies, and with the current strength of the Helan tribe, they dare not dip into the muddy water on the grassland. Apart from taking shelter of us, they will not have a third Road, but now that you have given them supplies, they will support them for a long time." Tie Xuan said, "This is what the humble official thinks, I wonder if the general has any clever plans?"
"Tie Xuan, He Lanxiong was our comrade-in-arms, brother, I don't want to use this method to force him, if that's the case. Even if he joins us, he must have a grudge in his heart. What I want is a willing Yes, a partner who is willing to work hard for our cause, a team that is forced to join. It may become an unstable factor in the future." Gao Yuan looked at the camp of the Helan tribe in the distance, and said. "Actually, He Lanxiong doesn't have many paths to choose from."
Inside Juli Pass, Cao Tiancheng and Bai Yucheng were pouring wine opposite each other, several wine jugs were already empty in front of them. At this time, Cao Tiancheng was already seventy or eighty percent drunk, while Bai Yucheng's eyes became brighter the more he drank.
"Brother Bai, you can drink a lot!" Cao Tiancheng's tongue was tied, and he gave him a thumbs up, "Cao is willing to bow down."
The long hair on his head was tied up with a cloth belt, which subtracted a bit of fierceness, and added a few strands of elegant white feather Cheng hehe smiled, "When I roamed the East Hu, I used to eat wine a lot of the time. Alcohol tolerance has already been practiced, Brother Cao, thank you for your care these days in Juliguan, we have more than a hundred remnants of defeated soldiers, if you hadn’t taken them in, I’m afraid even our bones would be rotten now.”
He raised his glass again towards Cao Tiancheng, "Come on, I'll do it first!" He raised his neck, drank the wine in the glass, and lit the bottom of the glass towards Cao Tiancheng.
"Don't, don't thank me!" Cao Tiancheng shook his hands, reluctantly put the cup to his mouth, drank half of it, and then spilled half, "It was just the general's special order at the time. To be honest, I was reluctant at the time. I'm afraid that after you recover from your wounds, when the bandit habit breaks out, you will recklessly rob this Juliguan and leave, but I can't do anything about it." He laughed loudly, "It's still the general who has the foresight."
Bai Yucheng smiled: "General Gao, you are very human."
Cao Tiancheng squinted at the other party, "Old Bai, now you can be regarded as a strong soldier. The weapons we gave you will give your team a new look. Next, what are you going to do, and become a horse bandit? The current grassland, But it is suitable for you to do this job, come and go without a trace, and without the encumbrance of family members, those Huns on the grassland are probably going to be in bad luck."
Bai Yucheng smiled and filled the cups of the two of them again, "Why didn't you see General Gao?"
"General Gao has gone to see He Lanxiong!" Cao Tiancheng tongue-knotted, "Helan's troops are not doing well right now."
"General Gao wants to bring the Helan Department under his command?" Bai Yucheng asked with a smile.
Cao Tiancheng chuckled, "General Gao said, if the Helan tribe is willing to join, we, Fufeng, will welcome it with our hands up. If they don't want to, it's up to them. If they want to leave, General Gao said to give them the supplies they need once. If you want food for food, you need weapons for weapons." He leaned forward and said in a low voice: "The general also said that even if He Lanxiong wants to shoot crossbows repeatedly, he will give them."
The arm crossbow is a sharp weapon for infantry, while the repeating crossbow is for cavalry to kill gods. These two weapons are also the sharpest weapons of the Fufeng soldiers.
"Amazing!" Bai Yucheng gave a thumbs up.
Cao Tiancheng shook his head, "But, only this time." He raised a finger and waved it in front of Bai Yucheng, "We don't care about how the Helan Department will go or how things are going in the future."
Bai Yucheng turned the wine glass, thoughtful.
"Brother Bai, are you leaving too?" Cao Tiancheng lay on the table, barely raised his head, looked at Bai Yucheng, "Don't worry, if you want to leave, the general will never stop you, and will give you and They are treated the same."
Bai Yucheng put the wine glass on the table and said with a smile, "I won't leave."
Cao Tiancheng raised his head and blinked his eyes, "Brother Bai, the general said that He Lanxiong may stay, but you may leave. Because you are used to being free, you may not be used to life in the military camp. If you want to stay, you and you My subordinates will be bound by the Fufeng Military Regulations, Brother Bai, you have been in Juliguan for so long, and you are very familiar with the Fufeng Military Regulations, can you bear it?"
"No one wants to be a homeless stray dog." Bai Yucheng said with a smile: "In this world, it seems that the life of being a horse bandit is becoming more and more difficult. If this is the case, I might as well find a good master , Maybe in the future, I will fight for a wife and son, be a founding hero, and get a nobleman to be a hero!" He laughed loudly. "General Gao is a good master. He is benevolent, straightforward, and doesn't beat around the bush so much, which suits my temperament."
Seeing that Bai Yucheng didn't seem to be joking, Cao Tiancheng laughed loudly, "My good brother, it's interesting, following General Gao, we will surely stand out, and in the future, we will definitely be famous all over the world."
The two clapped their hands and laughed.
"What makes you laugh so happily?" The door was pushed open, and Gao Yuan walked in with a starry body, took off his cloak, and still at the side, came over and pulled a bench, and sat at the table.
"Brother Bai said, I will work with the general in the future, he will not leave, he will not be a horse bandit!" Cao Tiancheng laughed, laughed a few times, his voice stopped abruptly, he fell on the table, and in an instant, Snoring everywhere.
Gao Yuan shook his head, "This guy, I really don't know how to spell this when I'm fighting with you for wine?"
Bai Yucheng stood up suddenly, faced Gao Yuan, cupped his fists with both hands, and bowed to the ground, "General Gao, Bai Yucheng has officially served under the general's command from today, and is willing to serve the general, even though he will die a hundred times without regret, please accept it !"
Gao Yuan's smile restrained, he didn't stand up, where he was sitting, he stretched out his hand to help Bai Yucheng, "Brother Bai, we are brothers now, if you really decide to join my Fufeng Soldier, then besides brothers, we have There is another layer of relationship, that is ownership, have you thought it through? Are all your brothers willing?"
"Of course I thought about it clearly." Bai Yucheng said solemnly: "It is precisely because I thought clearly and understood in my heart that I made this decision. From now on, I am willing to serve the general like a dog."
Only then did Gao Yuan stand up, "Okay, Brother Bai, welcome to join the Fufeng Army."
Bai Yucheng bent down again, "Bai Yucheng has seen the general!"
"Sit down!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Brother Bai, since you have joined the Fufeng Army, I don't have to deny that your more than a hundred brothers are excellent in equestrian skills and have super individual combat capabilities, but they are not suitable for regular troops. , A long-standing habit cannot be changed in a short period of time, so I want to separate you into a battalion and give full play to your strengths."
"The eyes and ears of the army are the forerunners of the battle!" Bai Yucheng said.
"That's right, scout battalion!" Gao Yuan said, "You have an establishment of a thousand men. Of course, it's up to you to recruit troops. Scout cavalry, the best cavalry, would rather be short than excessive. But in your army, there are two people I want to transfer, Hutou and Hengdao, these two guys are not suitable to be scouts, but more suitable to be a general who charges into battle."
