Gai Jun bid farewell to Yuan Shao, Xu You and others on March 7, traveled more than 400 miles day and night to return to Yewang, took a nap for half a day, and immediately returned north with an army of 20,000 people, led by General Huang Zhong, the lieutenant of the Dian Army, and Lieutenant Li Feng.
Zhang Yang was the deputy, and he left ten thousand troops in Hanoi.
Before Gai Jun left, he told Huang Zhong not to be used as a gunman by colluding with Huwei General Gai Yin if there were many things to do. In addition, Zhang Yang had a personal grudge with Dong Zhuo, so he must not be instigated by him.
Huang Zhong answered his promise with a serious look on his face. To be honest, it was beyond his expectation that General Hussars left him to guard Hanoi. Hanoi has a special geographical location. Faced with the two major forces of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, military strategy alone is not enough. It also requires a certain degree of vision and skill.
As for his political ability, he thought that Gai Jun would probably choose one from Gai Yin and Guan Yu, but he didn't expect that General Hussar would choose him in the end.
Huang Zhong felt a heavy burden on his shoulders and at the same time felt inspired. A man dies for his confidant, that's all.
Gai Jun was relatively reassured about this famous Five Tiger General in history. He finally added that he would observe all the major and minor events in the Central Plains and report them at any time before heading north.
While climbing the southern foot of Hengshan Mountain, he received the first news from Huang Zhong. Cao Cao's 50,000-strong army was defeated by Xu Rong and was completely wiped out. He couldn't help but laugh. Cao Cao was famous for his good use of troops in history, so he was one of the best in the world, but he failed.
It's not that he won every battle. Although his memory has become blurry after being here for more than ten years, he can still remember famous defeats such as Wancheng and Chibi.
After more than ten days of trekking, Gai Jun arrived at the eldest son of Shangdang County. While chatting with Wang Zhou, the prefect of Shangdang, his servant arrived with great news. A few days ago, his third son
He was born, mother and child are safe.
The recent events in the north of Bingzhou made Gai Jun uneasy. Hearing the news, his mood suddenly became better. He named his third son Ba. Ba has many explanations. Gai Jun named his son Ba, who is extraordinary and outstanding.
There is no doubt that he hopes his son will succeed. As for whether he has expressed his feelings in the name of his son, only he knows for sure.
The army marched along Changzi County. Within a few days, the battle report came from the north. Ma Teng defeated the Huns in two battles with a small number and a large number. Hu had more than 40,000 cavalry.
Qi'er and others took advantage of the situation and rushed into Shuofang. As expected, Qianli Shuofang was about to return to the embrace of the Han Dynasty.
Gai Jun was overjoyed. The death of Geng Zhi, the general who conquered the Liao Dynasty, did not affect him, and he was even more happy. On that day, there was a banquet for the soldiers. In order to entertain everyone, all the county officials from hundreds of miles away were summoned to the military camp to accompany them.
Overjoyed, Gai Jun smiled so brightly that his eyes almost narrowed to a slit. Facing the generals, he offered a toast to all who came. While drinking, he called the three sons to bring good luck to him. The generals apologized, but said in their hearts that victory lies in the victory.
If you are in front and your son is behind, how can you say good luck? Of course, no one would be stupid enough to question Gai Jun. Isn't lighting a lantern in the latrine a court of death?
Gai Jun drank more than a stone in a row, but unfortunately he lost his former drunken demeanor. He was so drunk that he staggered around and vomited repeatedly. He didn't even know how to get back to the handsome tent. He slept until the sun was shining for three hours, and woke up with a splitting headache and moaning.
endlessly.
"The sword is old, what can be done about it?" Gai Jun couldn't help but laugh at himself.
The crisis in the north had been resolved, and Gai Jun was eager to think about his son. He ordered the cavalry captain Pang De and the captain Hu Che'er to lead the army. He quickly rushed back to Jinyang with dozens of personal guards.
On this day, Bian Wei was lazily reading the "Book of Changes" on the couch. She thought to herself that it was no wonder that her husband didn't like the "Book of Changes". The principles of this book were so profound that even though she had more than ten years of reading experience, she still couldn't read it.
Here, I don’t know why.
"Wow..."
The baby's unique cry came from her side. Bian Wei quickly put down the book, picked up her son and encouraged her. At the same time, she opened her clothes, revealing her white and fat breasts, and put them into his mouth. This was the baby she had just given birth to.
My second son, my husband wrote a letter not long ago and named him Ba. Bian Wei doesn't like this name very much and thinks it is too harsh.
"Squeak"
Bian Wei was suddenly startled. There was only one person in the world who dared to come in without knocking or announcing, but...
Bian Wei stared at the screen at the door for a moment, and then a tall, travel-stained figure came into view.
"Husband, husband... why are you back so soon..." Bian Wei's body curled up on the bed suddenly stiffened. She is a woman who rarely reveals her true feelings to the surface, but at this moment, her face is full of expressions.
Surprised, one can imagine how much surprise Gai Jun's almost willful behavior brought to Bian Wei.
Gai Jun laughed and said: "Don't you want to see your son as soon as possible? Come on, give me a hug..."
Bian Wei said: "Yishui is filling its stomach, husband, please wait for a moment."
"Okay, okay..." Gai Jun came to the bed and saw the strange-looking third son Gai Ba, who was like an alien. His mood was no different from when the eldest son Gai Yi was born, with the same excitement and joy, and he curled his index finger.
He scratched the little man's cheek, which could be broken by blows, and said softly: "You're going to give him a nickname of Yishui?"
Bian Wei elegantly tucked her hair behind her ears and nodded gently.
"Yishui, Yishui..." Gai Jun thought for a moment and said, "I remember Yishui should be a river in your hometown?"
"Well. I grew up by the Yishui River since I was a child." Bian Wei's eyes revealed a brilliant color inexplicably.
Gai Jun held her hand and asked, "Are you homesick?"
"I wonder if I can go back to my hometown to take a look in my lifetime..." Bian Wei looked complicated. Not all of them are good memories there, but after all there are a group of people with the same blood as her. When she first married into the Gai family, there was no
Informing them can be explained by the reason of not entering into the royal family. However, last year, when her younger brother Bian Bing married the daughter of the Wang family in Xihe, he also did not inform them. It was not that he did not want to, but that he could not. She did not dare to mention it to her husband because both
The identity gap is too big. They are people from completely different worlds. There was no intersection before, there will be no intersection now, and there will be no intersection in the future.
"..." Facing his wife's strange gaze, Gai Jun was silent for a while. Her desire to take a look at her hometown was ten times, a hundred times harder than she imagined. That meant that he had at least unified the Central Plains region. With his confidence, he was the most optimistic
It is estimated that it will take ten or eight years. Perhaps... just as she worried, she will not be able to achieve this wish in her lifetime. After all, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Lu Bu... none of the Central Plains princes are fuel-efficient.

Jingzhou, Changsha County.
March is still a bit chilly in the north, but in the south, it’s a real spring month.
Not long ago, Dong Zhuo killed the Grand Tutor Yuan Kui, and the whole family was in an uproar. When the news came out, Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, sent a letter to Nanyang, Nanjun, Jiangxia, Wuling, Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in the north of Jingbei, a total of seven counties, ordering the governors to lead them.
The soldiers came to the meeting to discuss the matter of directors.
Since Dong Zhuo came to Beijing to take power last autumn and wantonly invaded the Han Dynasty, Sun Jian, the governor of Changsha, often lamented that the former commander Zhang Wenruo followed his advice and killed Dong Zhuo, why did he do this? By the time of the jujube alliance in the first month of this year, Sun Jian was overjoyed and began to prepare secretly Soldiers, horses and food were available, but Jingzhou was always silent, as if it was separated from Dong Zhuo and the scholars. Sun Jian was alone and unable to support his troops, so he could only stand still. Now he received a letter from Wang Rui, shouting that the time had come, and immediately ordered more than ten thousand troops to march northwest.
Originally, the Jingzhou Governor's Department was located in Jiangling, the seat of Nan County, Jingbei. However, in recent years, clan robbers have emerged in Jingzhou to compete with the prefectures and counties. The Governor had to move the Governor's Department to Hanshou County, Wuling County, Jingnan. It can be seen from this that although Wang Rui, the Jingzhou Governor, was born in The Langye Wang family has a noble family background, but he has neither military nor literary talents, and is just a waste.
Thinking of Wang Rui, Sun Jian felt angry. This guy came from a wealthy family and always looked down on himself as a poor warrior. The year before last, the two of them worked together to conquer the bandits of Lingling and Guiyang, and there were many scornful words in their words. Sun Jian couldn't figure it out. I have fought for the country in the north and south, made many meritorious deeds, and am famous throughout the country. Now I am the governor of two thousand stones, and I have been granted the title of county marquis. Why should he look down on me?
With resentment against Wang Rui, Sun Jian entered Wuling County. Cao Yin, the prefect of Wuling, had been waiting for a long time. He immediately took out the person responsible for the case, the supervisory envoy sent by the imperial court, and Guanglu doctor Wen Yi wrote a letter, listing Wang Rui's crimes, hoping that Sun Jian Take it into custody.
Sun Jian held the so-called executioner's letter and looked sideways at Cao Yin, half smiling but not smiling. He saw that the latter looked panicked and was sweating profusely, "Sun Changsha..."
"How dare you disobey the imperial court?" Sun Jian laughed loudly. He had long wanted to take revenge on Wang Rui, but he never got the chance. Whether Guanglu doctor Wen Yi's letter was true or false is not important at all. What is important is that it created for himself Chance.
Cao Yin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said flatteringly: "Wang Rui has been in the state for several years, and his government has been unbenevolent. The sky is angry and people are resentful. Now Sun Changsha will take it. All the county guards will follow him and take the people of the state to go north." , conquer the national traitors, and help the Han Dynasty..."
"Haha, Cao Wuling passed by..."
The next day, Sun Jian led his troops to surround Hanshou County, forcing Wang Rui to commit suicide. He merged various tribes and gained 30,000 men. He marched northward in a mighty manner, passing through Nan County and crossing the Yangtze River. All the clan and thieves avoided the counties along the way, and no one dared to attack him. , and finally arrived at Nanyang County, the southern capital of the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shu, who was dormant in Lu County, Nanyang County, was originally paying attention to Henan Yin, which was separated by a mountain to the north. Of course, he would not fail to see Sun Jian making such a big noise in the rear.
Yuan Shu had been away from the capital for half a year, with the lofty title of General-in-Chief but no actual duties. He also had no support from Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, and could not develop. However, as Dong Zhuo massacred all the Yuan family members in the capital, the Yuan brothers suddenly rose to the rank of " At the height of "breaking the family and favoring the country", heroes suddenly emerged, all in the name of the Yuan family. Yuan Shu's power began to expand rapidly, and he had the ability to attack Yin in Henan. However, Cao Cao and Bao Xin's 50,000 troops were defeated miserably, making him unable to Dare to act rashly.
When Sun Jian was weak, he led troops to attack the Kuaiji rebellion. When he was in his third year, he followed Zhu Jun to fight against the Yellow Turbans, and then went to Western Xinjiang and traveled to Jingnan. It can be said that he had experienced hundreds of battles and was a good general in the country. For Yuan Shu, who had soldiers but no generals, Sun Jian Such a ferocious tiger is the talent he desperately needs...
"I just don't know if I can use it?"
Yuan Shu looked at Sun Jian who broke into Nanyang County with amusement on his face...
