In the spring of March, peach and plum blossoms were blooming in Jizhou, and wild flowers were fragrant. Gai Jun took Pang De, Bao Chu, Hu Che'er, Hu Feng, and Ma Chao for a stroll and climbed to the south end of the Zhangshui Stone Bridge. Originally, Gai Jun only wanted to take him with him.
Pang De, Bao Chu, and Hu Che'er are all eight feet in length, have majestic and mighty bodies, and have reputations for bravery. They are the most suitable ones to use to control the situation.
Hu Feng couldn't understand his thoughts at all, so he shamelessly inserted himself into it with his mere seven-foot-five-inch body. He didn't realize that his joining would suddenly weaken his own momentum. Ma Chao always loved to be lively, and he was worried that he didn't know how to speak.
As soon as he saw Hu Feng in action, he immediately started shouting. The reason was ridiculous. He was also 7 feet 5 inches tall.
Gai Jun looked helpless, so the original plan of four people to climb the bridge became six people now.
However, there is no benefit in following Hu Feng and Ma Chao. Gai Jun brings three strong men there, and his height of 7 feet 7 inches (178 centimeters) will seem insignificant. Now he can at least be ranked in the middle, right?
In fact, he could only comfort himself in this way. He had modern ideas and paid attention to nutritional intake since he was a child. He raised his sister to be as tall as a seven-foot man, but he did not grow to eight feet. He had been secretly resenting it for many years.
.
When Gongsun Zan saw Gai Jun and five people boarding the bridge, he led his younger brothers Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan, generals Tian Kai, Yan Gang, and Shan Jing to greet them. The number of people was exactly the same. Obviously, he neither wanted to take advantage nor suffer a loss.
.
The two sides were more than ten steps away, and Gai Jun laughed loudly and said: "It's been a long time, twelve years apart. Is Bogui okay when we say goodbye?" Gai Jun wore a heguan crown on his head, with two heli tails standing high on the left and right, and he was wrapped in gold and purple.
, with fluttering big sleeves, square-toed green silk shoes, a four-foot-long sword at his waist, eyes on his knife-like face, and a long laugh, he strode to Gongsun Zan in front of him.
Gai Jun's clothes, words, and laughter blended together, coupled with his status, reputation, and military exploits, forming an intimidating aura that rushed towards you, making people involuntarily frightened. Although Gongsun Zan was not frightened, he also behaved
Somewhat unnaturally, he showed a slightly stiff smile and said: "How is Shang An? Are you okay, General?"
"..." Gai Jun smiled but said nothing.
Gongsun Zan's smile became even stiffer. Don't look at Gongsun Yue, Tian Kai and others who clamored for war with Gai Jun at the banquet yesterday. When they saw Gai Jun's face, they all stood behind Gongsun Zan with their eyebrows lowered and their heads lowered, not daring to take a breath.
After all, Gai Jun's reputation is too great. People like them, who are from the frontiers of Youzhou and have never seen the world, have a natural respect for "Gai Ying". Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou, also has a great reputation, even more famous than Gai Jun.
It's still a bit higher, but it's more about morality and political opinion, so they don't think so. But Gai Ying is completely different from Liu Yu. He is the first general in the world, the most famous general in the world, with power over northern Xinjiang, and has been in charge of the country for consecutive years.
Dong Zhuo, who was in power in the dynasty, was afraid of even five points, let alone them.
Gai Jun's eyes fell behind Gongsun Zan and said: "Bogui, why don't you introduce the heroes of Youzhou to me?"
"This is my younger brother Gongsun Yue, named Zidu. He has been riding with me for six or seven years. He has repeatedly been the first to get into battles and has been beheaded many times..."
"This is my general Tian Kai, named Gongze. He has been with me for more than five years. He is both wise and brave..."
Gongsun Zan introduced them one by one. Every time he mentioned a person, Gai Jun could always tell him exactly what he was proud of, such as defeating a large number with a small number in a certain battle, or capturing and killing so and so... Of course, the generals in Youzhou were not famous enough to make Gai Jun famous.
To the extent of Jun Guo Wen, he learned this trick from the late General He Jin, and saw that the generals in Youzhou looked flattered, and the effect was quite good.
Gongsun Zan became more and more depressed, feeling like he was being restrained when standing in front of Gai Jun. He raised his eyes and looked at Pang De, Bao Chu, and Hu Che'er. The three of them had strange looks, different from ordinary people, and powerful momentum. They didn't want to attract anyone's attention.
Disaster.
Gai Jun introduced with a smile: "This is Pang Lingming, this is Bao Wencai, this is Che'er..." This is the difference in reputation between the two parties. Gai Jun does not need to introduce the three of them in particular. He just said their names and the other party suddenly understood.
shape.
In front of the white horse, Pound looked indifferent and did not show any hostility. Doing so would put him at a disadvantage. Defeating Gongsun Zan in an upright manner on the battlefield was the right choice. Compared to Pound, Ma Chao, who was only sixteen years old, was
It looked provocative.
Gongsun Zan turned his eyes to Ma Chao and asked with a smile: "Are these the general's nephews?"
"Yes." Gai Jun nodded with a smile and said, "This son is the eldest son of General Du Liao. I love him very much when I am alone. I have raised him by my side since he was a child."
"..." The smile on Gongsun Zan's face instantly froze, and the atmosphere on the bridge became extremely awkward. The normal introduction should be General Ma, without specifically mentioning the four words "General Du Liao". Gai Jun's move was obviously a dig at Gongsun Zan.
meaning..
Gai Jun seemed oblivious, standing leaning on the bridge, stroking the bridge railings with both hands, looking into the distance, and whispered for a long time: "What's the purpose of Bogui coming here? Is it to welcome the eldest brother to take office as the shepherd of Jizhou?"
Gongsun Zan waited for his words, narrowed his eyes and said: "Last winter, eldest brother wrote to me, saying that he would lead the army south to discuss Dong's plan. Brother eldest brother and I have great kindness, and it is our duty to eliminate thieves for the country.
However, in the border area of Youzhou, the barbarian bandits have always been unruly and often invaded the people. How could the army leave easily? They had to politely refuse. However, the eldest brother invited him in handwriting several times, saying that we would benefit from coming south to Jizhou. The general should know that,
Youzhou is poor and it is difficult to raise troops. At that time, the army sergeants had not received food and pay for several months. In order to make a living for tens of thousands of people, I came here."
"..." Gai Jun responded silently.
Seeing that the other party was not on the road, Gongsun Zan said bluntly: "As my eldest brother, I fought bloody battles with the Jizhou soldiers in northern Hebei. The general defeated Han Fu. Although he used his troops like a god, my contribution is not without my credit. But so far, I
The Youzhou army suffered heavy losses, but did not see the big gains that the elder brother said. The soldiers were crying for food, so they had no choice but to come to the general for help. The old land of Guangwu in Jizhou has always been rich. The general conquered Ye City and collected more than hundreds of millions of money and food from Jizhou? Hope
General, give me some charity."
Gai Jun turned to look at Gongsun Zan and asked, "How much do you want?"
Gongsun Zan said: "Two million stones of grain, one billion yuan." Rumor has it that Jizhou has ten million stones of grain, worth billions of money. This number is too huge, and Gongsun Zan thinks it is not reliable, so he puts it to the test.
A gust of breeze blew by, causing his clothes to flutter. Gai Jun laughed hoarsely and said, "Bogui, you really dare to ask for it."
Gongsun Zan looked surprised and said: "Compared with Jizhou's treasury and granary, are these not many?"
Gai Jun shook his head and said: "Two million stones of grain and one billion yuan. If there were so many granaries in Jizhou's treasury, Gu would have been worshiping heaven in Zhanghe River by now. In fact, I only got one million stones of grain and three hundred million yuan."
"After a pause, he continued: "Bogui now has an army of more than 30,000 people. In this way, he will give out 200,000 stone grains to provide for the army for three months, and 50 million yuan to reward the soldiers."
"..." Gongsun Zan's face suddenly turned red. A million stone grains? Look at the grain transport team that worked day and night, moving by land and water. It had lasted for several days, and at least it had transported more than two million stone grains. Fifty million.
The money is not even enough to provide compensation for those who died in the war, so why send them to beggars? Is this intolerable?
"What? Bogui thinks he's too young?" Gai Jun gradually put away his smile and stared at Gongsun Zan with bright eyes.
Gongsun Zan has a strong and violent personality. Ever since he met Gai Jun, he has been suppressed. As the saying goes, things must turn to the extreme. Gongsun Zan springs up like a spring and rushes to the extreme. He says word by word: "Two million stone grain, one billion money, otherwise I can't do it."
Explain to the soldiers of Youzhou."
Gai Jun laughed and said, "Are you threatening Gu?"
"Whether it's a request or a threat, two million stone grains, one billion coins, not a grain of grain, not a penny less." Gongsun Zan showed his majesty to Gai Jun for the first time in front of Gai Jun as a hero who dominated Yan, Zhao and Qi. The generals of Youzhou
Although their thoughts are complicated, they are more excited. They can fear the hussar general Gai Jun, but not Gongsun Zan. This is the hero of Northern Xinjiang and the white horse general Gongsun Zan they want to see, even if they will fight against the hussar general soon.
Death is worth it.
Hu Feng had never seen anyone who dared to shout in front of Gai Jun. He was so angry that smoke came out of his nostrils. He pulled out a knife and pointed it at Gongsun Zan's nose and cursed: "Mother, who do you think you are? Are you in a hurry to go to hell? Okay?"
Ah come on...I'll take you there."
Before Gongsun Zan could react, his younger brother Gongsun Yue became furious and slashed at Hu Feng with a thunderous sword. Before the sword could touch Hu Feng's head, a black boot quickly inserted into Gongsun Yue's chest,
Hearing a muffled "bang" sound, Gongsun Yue's chest sank, and he involuntarily flew backwards more than ten feet away and landed on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose.
"Qiang" Both sides drew their swords out of their sheaths one after another, and the swords were at war.
Pang De pulled back his feet, without even looking at Gongsun Yue, and said coldly to Gongsun Zan: "Gongsun Zan, you are looking for death."
"White horse Pang Lingming, who are you scaring?" Gongsun Zan sneered: "I have three thousand people like you under my command."
Pang De laughed evilly and said: "Do you really think of yourself as a character? Killing you is not much harder than killing a chicken."
"Ling Ming, shut up." Gai Jun, who has never experienced any big storms in his life, said without changing his expression: "Bogui, I've known you for twelve years. I don't want our swords to fight against each other. I'll advise you one last time..."
Gongsun Zan interrupted Gai Jun and said, "I don't want to either, so why don't the soldiers obey?"
Gai Jun nodded calmly and said, "Kill them" while walking back.
Pang De, Bao Chu, Hu Che'er, and Hu Feng were startled when they heard this, and then they jumped out with a bang and slashed at Gongsun Zan's head with a sword. Gongsun Zan's expression changed in shock. He never expected that Gai Jun would dare to do this.
Gai Jun took action on the bridge and hurriedly waved his sword to resist. Not to mention Gongsun Zan, Gai Jun never thought of taking action in advance, otherwise he would have asked everyone to carry crossbows. To be honest, Gongsun Zan was so angry with him, just as Hu Feng thought, there are still many people in the world who
No one has ever dared to talk to him so boldly.
Gai Jun's original intention was to let Ma Chao and himself go first, but he didn't expect this kid to join the battle without a sound. Gai Jun shook his head, thinking that this kid was no weaker than Pang De in his youth, so he ignored him and continued to look back.
Walk.
When the second battalion of Shooting Tigers and Falling Eagles saw action on the bridge, they immediately blew their horns and rode their horses to rush onto the bridge. The same was true for the white-horse Yi Cong at the other end. Zhangshui Bridge is located outside Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou, and between the north and the south.
It is a transportation hub, so it uses a combination of wood and stone, which is extremely solid. The bridge deck is about several feet wide and can accommodate several vehicles running parallelly. Of course, cavalry can also be placed on it.
Suddenly, an unfamiliar shrill scream came from behind. Someone on the Youzhou side was injured or dead. Gai Juntou didn't bother to look back. He was only interested in Gongsun Zan's life and death. He didn't care about the life or death of others. From the dense shooting tiger, Luo Diao Er
The knights of the battalion passed through the middle and reached the south bank leisurely.
The people who just screamed were Gongsun Zan's generals Shan Jing, Pang De, Bao Chu, Hu Che'er, and Hu Feng. They were all fierce generals who were champions of the three armies. They were very brave. Even Gongsun Zan's superior martial arts could not resist him. He was hit by a knife in his shoulder. Jing's martial arts skills were not as good as Gongsun Zan's, and as soon as he joined in, Bao cut off his right arm with a knife, and fell into the Zhangshui River with the ring-headed sword. Blood spurted out from the broken arm, and Shan Jing let out a heart-rending howl until he was killed. Hu Cheer cut off his head before he became quiet, forever quiet...
Gongsun Zan's eyes turned red when he saw his general Shan Jing died in the battle to protect him. However, his opponent was too fierce. Within a few moves, his younger brother Gongsun Yue, who had been hit hard by Pang De earlier, was also killed by Hu Feng and Ma Chao. Gongsun Yue followed Gongsun Zan. In 1967, he was the person he trusted the most. Now that he died in battle, Gongsun Zan was like a wounded beast, roaring madly. Another disciple, Gongsun Fan, knew that a good man would not suffer the immediate consequences, and together with Tian Kai and Yan Gang, he pulled Gongsun Zan and fought. Walk.
Pang De and others were very determined to kill Gongsun Zan. Seeing that Baima Yicong was about to kill him, they launched a fierce attack. Gongsun Zan was gradually unable to stop him. Pang De seized the opportunity and slashed through his heavy armor with a knife with both hands, cutting into his chest. Gongsun Zan was in pain, his eyes were red, and he was so angry that he hit his forehead with his head. With a "thud" sound, both sides screamed and backed away.
Bao Chu, Hu Che'er, and Hu Feng rushed forward, hoping to kill Gongsun Zan while he was on an unstable footing. At the critical moment, Yan Gang only attacked for the sake of his savior, but refused to retreat even after he was cut into a bloody man. Bao Chu, Hu Che'er, and Hu Feng stopped him at the same time. Ma Chao quietly walked around Yan Gang and cut off his right leg with a knife, and Bao Chu cut off his head with his knife.
There was a danger of being surrounded and killed by Baima Yicong if he rushed forward. Pound covered his bleeding forehead and said the word "withdraw".
Bai Mayi protected Gongsun Zan and others, and then rushed towards Pang De and others with murderous intent, shooting tigers. The second battalion of Luodiao was not slow at all. The two groups of people met in the middle of the bridge, riding their horses and carrying their spears, accompanied by the roar of the sky. The shouts of death and the deep horn sound collided hard, and the Zhangshui Stone Bridge, which is known for its stability, trembled suddenly, making people worry that it was in danger of collapse.
Huge and violent war horses clashed, and some were killed by headshots, or had their necks broken, or staggered and fell into the Zhangshui River. The two world-famous elite cavalry did not give in, but faced each other, using the long sword in their hands to penetrate each other's body. Bodies, blood and dead bodies instantly became the main theme on the Zhangshui Bridge, and almost all humans and animals were killed or injured in the impact.
In the first round of charge to shoot the tiger, the Second Battalion of Luodiao did not take any advantage. After all, the bridge was so big, and it was inevitable to avoid the forest of spears. The advantage that the stirrups could bring was minimal. However, the melee after the impact showed that the stirrups The knights of Gaijun stood up in their stirrups, stood on horseback and wielded their heavy ring-headed swords, slashing left and right, breaking everything.
The White Horse Yi Cong rampaged across northern Xinjiang, frightening the people of Xianbei and Wuwan, and became famous all over the world. Their reputation is not half inferior to that of Shehu and Luodiao Second Battalion, especially the knights all ride white war horses. The visual impact is extremely amazing, but even better. The White Horse Yi Cong must be one of the strongest cavalry armies in the Han Dynasty, or even one of the strongest cavalry armies in the world, but their opponents are super-era cavalry equipped with stirrups. Facing Shehu, they will fall. The knights of the Second Battalion of Diao were slashing wildly. Unable to withstand it, they fell into the river from both sides of the bridge like dumplings. The Zhangshui was dyed red in an instant.
Pang De and the others walked among the soldiers, Bao Chu and Hu Che'er were the first to encounter their own troops because they were the commander of the Shooting Tiger and Falling Eagle 2nd Battalion. The fight just now was brutal. The two of them were at the forefront, and their bodies were more or less
They all suffered some injuries, but nothing serious. They immediately took an iron bag weighing more than ten kilograms, put it on, turned around on their horses and went back to kill.
Hu Feng and Ma Chao couldn't wait to return, so they arbitrarily snatched the horses of two Shehu camp knights.
Although Pang De didn't care much about the small wound on his forehead, if he didn't take care of it, it would be unlucky if it got into his eyes when he charged. After all, on the battlefield, especially a strong general like him who likes to be the first to attack, it is very easy to cause the enemy to besieged.
If you are negligent, your life may be in danger. When life is at stake, it is better to be cautious.
While walking, Pang De pulled off a piece of cloth from his body and simply wrapped it around his forehead. At this time, his brother Pang Rou arrived with his bodyguards. He pulled the reins of the horse, jumped onto his beloved white horse, and took the hand of his bodyguards, which weighed eight
A large piece of iron weighing more than ten kilograms rushed straight to the north.
"Gai Jun will not take revenge for this. I swear that I will not be a human being. I will eat your flesh, drink your blood, and slaughter your entire family..." Gongsun Zan looked up to the sky and roared, even if doing so would cause more blood to flow out from the wound, causing
The injury worsened. He, Gongsun Zan, had lived for more than thirty years and served in the army for more than ten years. When had he ever suffered such a big loss?
"General, your injury..." Tian Kai supported Gongsun Zan and said with a miserable expression. It was so tragic. Three years ago, the army was surrounded by Wuwan people in Guanzicheng in western Liaoning for more than 200 days. They ran out of food and were forced to eat the dead and the living.
It was not as miserable as today. It is said that a thousand armies are easy to come by, but a general is hard to find. Gongsun Yue died, Shan Jing died, and Yan Gang died. Six people boarded the bridge, and three of them died. Three generals with a different surname. He was the only one alive.
.This time, the combat effectiveness of the Youzhou Army will be reduced by at least 30%.
"Gongze, please lead the general off the bridge quickly. I will lead Baima Yicong to compete with Gai Jun." Gongsun Fan almost broke his teeth, and the words popped out one by one. The saddest thing about Gongsun Yue's death was not Gongsun Zan.
, but Gongsun Fan, Gein, they are brothers. Seeing the tragic death of their brothers, I believe any brother will go crazy. However, Gongsun Fan endured it just now. He was not afraid of death. After six or seven years in the army, there was a mountain of corpses.
A man who came out of the sea of blood is still afraid of death? What a joke. He was afraid that something might happen to Gongsun Zan. Now that Gongsun Zan was safe, he could go and fight without any scruples.
"Borou..." Tian Kai looked at Gongsun Fan worriedly. The second battalion of Shooting Tigers and Fallen Eagles were so powerful that they were like gods. The white horse Yi Cong who swept across the northern frontier was invincible and could not be stopped at all. He was obviously
He is determined to die and will never return unless he defeats the enemy in a single battle.
Gongsun Zan also woke up suddenly and grabbed Gongsun Fan's arm. Just as he was about to speak, Gongsun Fan took the lead and said: "General, the pain of losing your brother cannot be increased. Don't persuade..."
Gongsun Zan sighed and let go, watching Gongsun Fan disappear among the white horses.
