Blushing, Gongsunda led Gongsunyan and others as they walked towards the city gate, explaining to them the origin of Aduna.
It turns out that Aduna is the grandson of Qiu Liju, who once confronted Gongsun Zan in Guanzicheng, and the nephew of the current Lord Wuhuan, Tadun.
After the Battle of Guanzicheng, Gongsun Zan, who suffered heavy casualties among his men, regained his strength and launched a bloody revenge against Qiu Liju's men.
Gongsun Zan was ruthless and ruthless towards the Hu people because he had seen the horrors of the Hu people going south to invade the border areas.
After the First World War in Guanzicheng, the surviving Gongsun Zan's revenge methods were astonishingly violent.
Aduna was the orphan of a certain tribe that was massacred by Gongsun Zan.
Having said this, Gongsun Da paused, showed some hesitation, and then said, Aduna later started a horse trade with the Gongsun family, and traveled around the north all year round, so he was able to keep his peace in western Liaoning.
Today, Zhang and Wang Wu led a group of people out of the pass to look for Gongsun Yan's team. Not long after setting off, urgent news from the rear came from Xiangguan.
Aduna, who went south to discuss the share of salt and iron this year, did not stay in the camp designated for him in Qian'an, but went south privately with his cavalry.
"As I expected, Ayan and you are facing Aduna!" At this point, Gongsunda frowned like a knife, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you arrived at Xiangguan safely. From now on, I swear to ensure that your siblings are safe and sound, so that I can be worthy of the spirit of Brother Bogui in heaven."
Gongsunda's explanation went through Gongsunyan's mind, and she did not miss Gongsunda's hesitation in speaking at certain points.
Regarding Aduna's life experience, Gongsun Yan believed that it was true. Only in this way could he explain why this Wuhuan cavalry would wander around the north unexpectedly at an unreasonable time of year.
After all, the hatred of annihilating the family and genocide, and knowing that the mortal enemy still has an orphan alive, there is no more reason than to intercept and kill for revenge.
But... Gongsun Yan and Zhao Yun looked at each other, and there was obviously something hidden in Gongsun Da's words.
Why can Aduna receive the news so quickly?
Since they were trading barbarians, why did the Gongsun family dare to allow Aduna to camp in Qian'an?
If it were Gongsun Yan, even if they were allowed to be stationed, she would definitely keep an eye on the movements of such an unstable force.
However, the news of Aduna's private mobilization of troops was not reached Xiangguan until two days late.
Gongsun Yan thought about it, a chill flashing through his heart.
All the questions point to one answer: Some people want to use the hands of barbarians to eradicate the roots.
Even if it is not a murder with a borrowed knife, it must be intentional and indulgent.
Hearing Gongsunda's last vow, Gongsunyan's expression changed.
Unlike later generations, people in the Han Dynasty rarely swore such a strong oath as Gongsunda. Looking back on Gongsunda's performance, it seems that this clan uncle was indeed on their side.
Although the oath was vague, he dared to say it, and Gongsun Yan naturally dared to listen to it seriously, and he followed the stick after hitting the snake.
As soon as Gongsunda finished speaking, she looked anxious and raised her sleeves to cover her face.
"I hope uncle can help me." There was a cry in her voice.
"I am a woman, and A Cheng is young. I was able to break through the siege from Yijing and walk all the way to Xiangguan alive. It is all thanks to the loyalty of the soldiers and the sacrifice of their lives to protect her."
"Now I learned that the Wuhuan cavalry went south. In order to protect Acheng's flesh and blood, he abandoned them and fled to Xiangguan. I also asked my uncle to borrow some soldiers and horses and go with Captain Zhao to pick them up. ."
"Baima Yicong is my father's hard work. If even the seeds are broken, how can I have the face to meet my father who is under the Nine Springs."
Gongsun Yan burst into tears, causing Gongsunda's expression to change. Even Zuo Ping, who was coming out of the city to greet him, looked embarrassed.
Gongsunda is responsible for guarding the pass. Without military orders, he would not dare to easily send troops out of the pass, but...
Although Gongsun Da said that because of Gongsun Zan's death, he was trembling and worried that the Gongsun family would change, but he was still a loyal warrior and respected loyal people, so he immediately gritted his teeth.
"Okay! I sent my general and two hundred cavalry to accompany Captain Zhao to meet him."
Even though he borrowed troops, Gongsun Da still did not dare to hand them over to Zhao Yun, whose identity he did not know yet, so he prepared to send his personal general Wang Yan to supervise the envoy.
Although two hundred cavalry is a little less, it is better than nothing. With the addition of their own team of more than two hundred cavalry, even if they are unfortunate enough to face Aduna, they will have an even better chance of winning.
Gongsun Yan immediately covered his face with his sleeves and thanked Gongsun Da with tears.
He didn't dare to fool anyone and treat him like a fool in front of him. Even though he couldn't cry, Gongsun Yan still rubbed his eyes with his sleeves and shed some real tears.
She hid her face and lowered her head, and her collar showed the color of her mourning dress.
Watching her cry, Zuo Ping, who was about to say something to stop her, also silently stopped talking.
Zuo Ping was a veteran of the Gongsun family, and he had watched Gongsun Zan grow up, and Gongsun Yan and others were like his descendants in his eyes.
Feeling sorry for her to go through these changes, Zuo Ping sighed, cupped his hands and said, "In this case, I will also detach a hundred cavalry to accompany Captain Zhao."
The fifty cavalrymen Zhang Zhuo and Wang Wu had taken away earlier were all his troops. With the addition of these one hundred cavalrymen, it was already the limit of what Zuoping could do. Even if the remaining infantrymen were mobilized, they would only be able to face the cavalrymen.
drag.
Gongsun Yan didn't mind that there were so many people. He raised his hand and wiped the red corners of his eyes, and gave a blessing salute to the veteran general with white beard and hair but good spirits, "Thank you very much, veteran general."
"My dear lady, my surname is Zuo Mingping, a general from the Gongsun family." Zuo Ping stepped aside and did not accept Gongsun Yan's courtesy. "My dear lady, I don't deserve this kind of thanks."
Zuo Ping claimed to be a Buqu general, but his qualifications were respected even if Gongsun Zan came. Gongsun Yan didn't know the inside story, but he still had a look in his eyes. He would not listen to him saying that Buqu general made a mistake, let alone borrowing troops.
Helped.
A group of people entered through the city gate, the winch was turned, and the suspension bridge was raised again.
Gongsunda arranged for his general Wang Yan to order all the cavalry, and at the same time he personally settled Gongsunyan's sister and brother into a beautifully decorated house.
Gongsun Yan observed it without leaving a trace. The ground was swept clean, the flowers and trees in the yard were sparse, and although the household furnishings were not of the highest quality, they should have been carefully arranged.
She felt more at ease immediately. Regardless of Ling Zhi's situation, at least in Xiangguan, Gongsunda should have welcomed their arrival.
Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, who had been guarding tightly, also relaxed a little.
Gongsun Yan's offer to borrow troops was an impromptu idea, but it also tested the attitudes of Gongsun Da and Zuo Ping.
All soldiers are precious resources and will never be allocated to others easily, let alone a day's worth of food.
The Gongsun siblings should be safe here now.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun gave Xia Houlan a wink, and Xia Houlan untied Gongsun Cheng, who was tied in front of him, and handed the still feverish child into Gongsun Yan's hands.
As soon as he reached the familiar embrace, Gongsun Cheng immediately hugged Gongsun Yan's neck and refused to let go.
Gongsunda and Zuo Ping on the side finally saw the lively Gongsun Cheng, and they breathed a long sigh of relief.
I have a good impression of Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan's loyalty.
Zuo Ping, in particular, did not feel dissatisfied with being guarded. Instead, he looked at Zhao Yun appreciatively.
Two young maids came to the house, saying that meals had been prepared.
Gongsun Yan hugged Gongsun Cheng and looked at the house. She felt a little relieved in her heart.
After many days in this troubled world, she could finally find a decent place to rest.
I hope I can take a good bath.
Gongsun Yan, who was determined in his heart, turned around and planned to say a few words of thanks to Gongsun Da.
The system, which was never silent and would not pop up on its own initiative, issued a sharp warning sound and automatically popped up in front of Gongsun Yan's eyes. A bright red interface that was different from the past occupied her right field of vision.
Gongsun Yan was frightened by the sudden sound. He didn't have time to think about what was going on before he saw clearly what the system displayed.
The bold and black fonts are reflected on the bright red page, showing two tasks.
The content of these two tasks made Gongsun Yan's eyes wide open, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
