With Zhao Yun and a thousand people behind him, Gao Shun felt extremely happy on the way back to the camp. After Yuan Shao summoned Zhao Yun, he directly said, "You can follow Cao Cao from now on."
He kicked Zhao Yun over, who was in the fog. At that time, Gao Shun wanted to look up to the sky and laugh, but he still had to make a normal expression. It was really hard to endure.
Zhao Yun was also depressed. Although he was just a corps commander in Yuan Shao's army, Zhao Yun was no ordinary soldier. He also had his own pride and ambition. Being kicked to another place by his master, even for an ordinary soldier.
Even the soldiers would not feel comfortable, and Zhao Yun felt even worse.
Gao Shun could also see the knot in Zhao Yun's heart, and said to console him: "Why should Zilong worry about such a trivial matter? That Yuan Benchu was ignorant and let Zilong go so easily, it will be his loss in the future.
My master, Cao Mengde, is very thirsty for talents. When Zilong comes under his command, he will definitely be able to rise to great heights and display his ambitions."
Zhao Yun was not familiar with Cao Cao, so he could only be vague when hearing what Gao Shun said.
When we arrived at Cao Cao's camp, we saw soldiers and horses ready to go from a distance, and at the same time, we also saw Cao Cao's unkind expression.
After secretly muttering, Gao Shun realized that he was late. Estimating the time, he was about half a stick of incense later than the time Cao Cao had agreed to send out troops. Violating military orders was no joke, especially as Cao Cao's military regulations were extremely strict, and he was
It is possible to push it out and behead it in public.
"Chang Gong, why are you so late?" Gao Shun came here to win over Liu Bei, but Liu Bei had already arrived with his troops, but Gao Shun didn't show up. If he hadn't seen a group of troops behind him,
, guessing that he might have summoned troops from other princes, Cao Cao immediately engaged him in military law. Although Gao Shun was a brave general and was reluctant to kill him, it was still no problem to drag him down and beat him with dozens of military sticks.
"My lord, forgive me." Seeing that Cao Cao did not scold him as soon as they met, Gao Shun relaxed a little and hurriedly explained, "I also went to Yuan Benchu to borrow a thousand troops."
One thousand? Cao Cao frowned. Obviously, this number was not enough to make Cao Cao forgive Gao Shun for being late. Yuan Shao had a total of 30,000 troops. These thousand troops were obviously used for prevarication, and there was no credit at all.
.If Gao Shun had said ten thousand, then Cao Cao would have laughed and patted him on the shoulder to award him the reward.
"In addition to these thousand people, I also brought a general from Yuan Shao's camp." Gao Shun knew that these people could not impress Cao Cao, so he immediately added.
"Oh? Who is it?" Hearing what Gao Shun said, Cao Cao's originally disappointed heart couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope. General Yuan Shaoying? Could it be that Yan Liangwen was so ugly? Then Gao Shun brought one of them over.
Really? If that's the case, it's definitely a great achievement.
"Zhao Yun, Zhao Zilong." Gao Shun said as he asked Zhao Yun to come forward to see Cao Cao.
"...Your name is Zhao Yun?" Cao Cao was depressed for a moment. This guy couldn't have hired someone to fool me just because he was afraid that I would punish him for misusing the army. Although this young general named Zhao Yun was quite handsome.
Judging from his appearance alone, he is eight feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, greased lips, sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes. He is undoubtedly a handsome guy who can charm countless young girls. In addition, Zhao Yun is also quite charming in his actions.
There is evidence that the whole person even has a very elegant temperament.
But Cao Cao knows very well that it is absolutely forbidden to judge a book by its appearance. Although he does not think highly of Yuan Shao now, he has been friends with Yuan Shao for many years. Although he cannot fully understand the generals in Yuan Shao's army, he knows them very well.
He had never heard of a general named Zhao Yun in Yuan Shao's army.
"Zhao Yun, do you have any position under Yuan Benchu's account?"
"Reporting to my lord, Yun is serving as the commander of Yuan Gong's army."
Cao Cao's face suddenly turned dark. When Gao Shun saw this, he quickly said: "That was Yuan Benchu's lack of understanding of others and abandoned Zilong among the troops. From what I can see, if there was no Lu Bu in the world, Zilong's should be
His martial arts skills are the best in the world!"
Gao Shun was really anxious. How could you be so honest, Zhao Yun? Didn't you see that Boss Cao was already so angry? In a hurry, Gao Shun could only try his best to lift Zhao Yun up and try his best to defeat Zhao Yun.
Talk in a better direction.
But as soon as he said these words, he immediately regretted it. Although Cao Cao's expression softened, he was still not much better after all. But at the same time, the expressions of all the generals behind Cao Cao darkened.
Seeing Gao Shun so highly esteeming a stranger he had never met, the first person who had an objection was his adopted brother Dian Wei.
"Hey, I am your sworn brother after all. You know my abilities very well. Is it possible that I am not as good as this pretty boy? Fortunately, I was still worried about you just now and wanted to plead for mercy in front of the lord..." It's in the way.
The brotherly feeling was too embarrassed to show up, and Dian Wei could only curse in his heart.
Except for Dian Wei, the Xiahou brothers also did not believe Gao Shun's words, and their faces showed displeasure.
As for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they were both arrogant and could not tolerate other masters in their eyes. In their eyes, although Lu Bu was brave, they were not inferior to him, but they had never fought against each other and could not justify themselves.
Seeing Gao Shun praising Zhao Yun's martial arts so much, Guan Yu snorted heavily and expressed his disdain. Zhang Fei screamed weirdly. Looking at his posture, if Liu Bei hadn't been watching, he would definitely have a test with Zhao Yun.
He will give up after giving him a lesson.
When Gao Shun saw this, he knew that what he said just now had aroused public anger. But now that the matter had come to this, he could not take back his words and slap himself in the face.
Cao Cao obviously did not take Gao Shun's words seriously, but it was already too late now and troops were about to be dispatched, so he did not care about these things too much.
"Gao Shun violated military discipline and should be beheaded. However, since he had meritorious service in the battle with Lu Bu in front of Hulao Pass, he was punished with a fifty-fifty rod." Cao Cao said expressionlessly, "But time is not waiting for us now. The army has been assembled. His punishment will be first.
Make a note of it for now and implement it after returning to the army."
Fifty sticks? Gao Shun almost jumped. This is not a joke. After this beating, it is not impossible that he will be disabled if he does not go well.
"I'm sorry, Cao Cao. I was kind enough to bring Zhao Zilong to you, but this is how you treat me? You must know that with my 1,800-year-old magical power, no matter who I turn to, I can guarantee him
You'll make a lot of money. If you make me angry, I'll jump ship immediately and I'll make sure you regret it until your intestines turn green!"
Of course, these words could only be scolded by Gao Shun in his heart. On the surface, he still had to put on a submissive expression to show his obedience to Boss Cao's decision.
———————————————————————————————— Liu Bei went to Gongsun Zan’s place before coming to Cao Cao’s camp. Gongsun Zan heard that
Liu Bei wanted to help Cao Cao pursue Dong. At first, he persuaded him to change his mind. But when he saw that the persuasion was useless, he refused and lent him three thousand troops. This made Gao Shun sigh. Damn it, Gongsun Zan was the one who insisted on loyalty.
Call your classmates brothers. Although the number of three thousand people is not too much, it is much better than Yuan Shao's stinginess. What's more, the troops and horses brought by Gongsun Zan this time are less than half of Yuan Shao's. Plus
In addition to the original 1,000 people, Liu Bei brought a total of 4,000 people.
When Sun Jian joined the Alliance to Defeat Dong, he brought a total of 25,000 people. Unfortunately, he failed in the Battle of Sishui Pass and lost most of them. This time, after removing some of the injured who could not move, he brought a total of 10,000 people.
Come.
Cao Cao has 5,000 people from his headquarters plus 1,000 people given by Yuan Shao, for a total of 6,000 people.
At this time, only an order from Cao Cao was heard, and the combined troops of Cao, Liu, and Sun, totaling 20,000, set off in a mighty manner toward Chang'an.
Gao Shun sat on the horse and looked at the three people walking side by side. He couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. The founders of the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, at this time, actually united to pursue Dong Zhuo under his own interference. Is this considered a blessing?
What about fooling people?
Arriving outside Luoyang City, Cao Cao's and Liu Bei's 10,000 troops advanced first, while Sun Jian led his army to follow at a distance six or seven miles behind. This was because Dong Zhuo might have laid an ambush, so
Let Sun Jian divide his troops at the rear so that if the front troops are ambushed, they can rescue them in the shortest possible time.
Of course, there are many mountains on the way from Luoyang to Chang'an, and the ambush must be buried in the mountain docks. The safest way to avoid the ambush is to continuously send scouts into the mountains to investigate. After discovering the enemy's ambush, they can take a detour or even sneak into the enemy's ambush.
It is not a bad idea to launch a counter-ambush from behind the army. Unfortunately, this method is too time-consuming. It is already the middle of the night. If we don't speed up the advance, we will definitely not be able to catch up with Dong Zhuo. And Cao Cao's purpose is to catch up with Dong Zhuo before he enters Chang'an.
It intercepts and kills, so it is impossible to advance in a safe way.
