In addition to Xu You, Zang Hong will also go to Dunhuang to attend Gai Jun's wedding. This is of course. As a close friend, if he dares to say anything, Gai Jun will also tie him up. Guan Yu and Bao Chuben
There was no plan to go to Dunhuang, but they accepted Gai Jun's gift. How could they escape because they have short hands and short mouths? With the two of them joining, the safety factor of the team immediately improved by several levels. It's a pity.
It's Yuan Shao, and He Yong can't go. They are both busy people, especially Yuan Shao. This time he is accompanying Gai Jun to Chenliu. One month away from Kyoto is already the limit.
Yuan Shao sent them off again and again until they reached Hangu Pass.
Gai Jun said goodbye to the people who were seeing him off, and walked with Yuan Shao under the desolate and majestic city gate. After a while, he said: "I have been in Kyoto for three years, and I have been taken care of by my eldest brother..."
"Ziying doesn't have to be like this. You and I have the same temperament, just like compatriots. We should do every little thing for our brother." Yuan Shao patted Gai Jun's solid shoulder and sighed: "I remember the first time I met Ziying, the look on his face
Still a little childish - time flies so fast!"
Gai Jun also felt this, and said: "After I return to my hometown, my eldest brother will take the house back."
"Ziying's words have gone out the window. I will keep the house for you and order it to be cleaned every day until you return to Beijing. I think it won't be too long, I think it will be early next year..."
Gai Jun smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I promised Wan'er that I would not go out as an official next year and would spend a good year at home with her."
Yuan Shao looked startled, then laughed and said, "Ziying's reputation for loving his wife must be heard throughout the country."
"That's what I wish." Gai Jun said with a smile, and then bowed deeply to Yuan Shao: "After a long journey, I have to say goodbye. My brother... I'm here to say goodbye."
"Have a good trip."
Seeing Gai Jun's figure gradually disappearing from the pass, Yuan Shao turned and left. He had been away from Beijing for a long time, and there were still many things waiting for him to solve.
Heading west from Hongnong County, there was no decent road to be found. Dozens of cars traveled along the Xiaohan Ancient Road at an excruciatingly slow speed. What was even more unlucky was that they encountered a heavy rainstorm.
The delay lasted no less than three days.
When passing by Zhang Huan's house, Gai Jun naturally couldn't let him in. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Huan was already bedridden and his condition was similar to Yuan Feng's.
"Zhang Jun's fate is at stake, will "Liangzhou Sanming" be a thing of the past?"
Gai Jun returned to the road full of sadness.
The motorcade passed through the prosperous Guanzhong Plain. Gai Jun made a special trip to Bao Chu's home and met Bao's mother as a son-nephew. Gai Jun's reputation was so great that even rural women such as Bao's mother had heard of Gai Jun.
Ying's name, he was pleased that his son could make friends with such an outstanding young man.
The Bao family lived in poverty and were not as good as ordinary people. Gai Jun left a generous greeting gift. Bao Chu was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He thought that he was a ranger when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. To put it harshly, he was wandering around and causing trouble. He was nearly 6 years old.
Weak Guan still accomplished nothing, causing his already overworked mother to worry about him, which made him, a naturally filial person, often miserable. When his mother said that he should treat Gai Jun as a brother, Bao Chu nodded in haste.
To the west of Chencang and to the east of Hanyang County, due to historical reasons, there are many Qiang and Hu people, which is a weak area ruled by the Han Dynasty. Gai Jun encountered danger when he entered the capital. There were several fierce battles when the wedding convoy passed here, and four knights of the Gai family died in the battle.
In order to avoid another encounter, Gai Jun gave up his plan to go along the Weishui River, and instead followed the Lishui River into Anding County and then back to Hebei County.
It was unfortunate that they did not encounter the Qiang Hu this time. Instead, they encountered bandits and were blocked in a small forest, unable to advance or retreat.
Under the scorching sun, five to six hundred thieves were sparsely scattered around. They were dressed in different colors. Some were wearing brown linen shorts and some were wearing brocade silk robes. I think the latter were probably looted. Weapons were also of all kinds, except for swords and guns.
In addition to swords and halberds, there are also a lot of farm tools. There is only one feeling for people - a mob. These people are not worth mentioning. What is worth noting is the hundreds of cavalry bandits behind the infantry bandits. They all exude a tough aura.
, not an easy person.
Gai Jun, Xu You, Zang Hong, Cai Yong, Gai Yin and other brothers gathered together to discuss.
Cai Yong was the most anxious and said repeatedly: "Ziying, what should we do..."
"Gai Lang..." Cai Wan was afraid and tightly pulled Gai Jun's sleeves.
Gai Liao said calmly: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, these people are nothing to be afraid of."
"Xiao He'er is right, don't worry, it's okay." Gai Jun's face was livid. He was not afraid, but angry. He ordered Gai Yin: "Bo Si, lean against the woods and form a circle around the car. Pull another car.
Fifty horses are given to slaves."
Guan Yu stepped forward and said loudly: "Gai Shehu, why do you do this? In my opinion, these bandits are just chickens and dogs. As long as my three brothers lead fifty knights to kill them, why worry about defeating them?"
Gai Yin was silent, Zang Hong and Xu You looked at each other.
"Okay, okay..." Gai Liao's big eyes sparkled, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
"No..." Cai Yong was anxious. It is true that the three brothers Gai and Yin were warriors. He had personally seen Gai and Yin kill people like local dogs. He was so brave that he could charge ten times the enemy with dozens of cavalry and even die.
What's the difference?
Bao Chu glanced at Cai Yong and said to Gai Jun: "Gai Shehu, if you give the order, I will take the leader of the thieves."
Cai Yong smiled bitterly, why are these people more arrogant than the other? They really think that they are Xiang Yu who will never succeed in this world.
Gai Jun shook his head and said: "I believe what Yun Chang said, a talented man. However, if we attack a large number with a small number, the casualties will definitely be considerable. We have long bows to protect ourselves and a chariot formation. We will attack the bandits after they have worn down their spirit. But
Works wonders.”
"Great kindness." Xu You praised.
Faced with heavy siege by thieves, dozens of knights of the Gai family either closed their eyes to rest, wiped their weapons, or pointed at the thieves. Occasionally they let out one or two harsh laughs, but there was no sign of nervousness. They have been living in their hometown of Dunhuang all year round.
Fighting with Qiang and horse bandits has been a hundred times more severe than this. This small scene is really nothing. If you can't resist, just take the young master and a few others to leave. They still have this confidence.
As for the slaves, what does it matter whether they live or die?
"It's over... there are so many bandits, we can't stop them... we will die..." Several Cai family slaves shouted in panic, and some timid ones even threw themselves on the ground and cried.
The servants of the Gai family on the side were upset, and they gestured with the ring-headed sword in their hands and said fiercely: "Shut up! If you make any more noise, I'll kill you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the servants of the Cai family closed their mouths and looked at him with fearful expressions.
Gai's servants grinned, and together with their companions, they hauled the heavy carriages and formed a formation.
This scene happened to be caught by Cai Yong. The Guandong scholar looked at the calm and composed maidservant of the Gai family, then looked at the knights who were waiting and the busy men, and sighed in his heart. He had heard about the popular customs in the border areas before.
Brave, people are not afraid of fighting, so I thought it was a lie, but now I know it is true.
Su Song is the leader of this group of thieves. He is over forty years old. He has three scars on his face, one beside his left eyebrow, one under his left eye socket, and one at the corner of his right mouth. This is proof that he has been on the battlefield. It is for this reason that he never
He worked hard to gather hundreds of people and dominate one side. He knew that what he was blocking was the wedding convoy of Gai Ying from Dunhuang, and he also knew that the other party was the beloved son of Gai Xun, the prefect of Hanyang, but he didn't care. He was tired of his current life.
As long as he succeeds this time, he will hide his name with his money and live the life he dreamed of.
"Big boss, look..."
A call from a minion awakened Su Song. He looked up and said with a surprised look on his face: "Form up a formation? Do you still have to resist? Everyone said that Gai Ying was smart and had a plan. It seems that the rumors were also untrue. He is now
The most important thing to do is to run away with the bride..." After saying this, the thieves laughed ambiguously, their eyes full of lust. They heard that the bride was the eldest daughter of Cai Yong, a great scholar in Guanzhong. To them, she was as far away as a fairy.
An unattainable woman...
Su Song looked calm and calm, but in fact he was beating the drum in his heart. His idea was to obtain wealth. Now Gai Junzang planned to stick to it. The so-called sword has no eyes. If he was injured or died, he would face endless hardships from Dunhuang Gai.
To take revenge, even though the Han is big, there is no place to hide.
Su Song did not hesitate for too long. Greed finally took over. He shouted loudly: "My sons! Do you see the front? There is countless money there waiting for me to get it!"
"Oh...oh..." the bandit responded, raising his weapon.
"What are you waiting for? Kill me!"
Following the big leader's order, the bandits swarmed forward with ferocious faces and howls. Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the crowd like arrows and rushed towards the convoy.
Looking at the commotion of his subordinates, Su Song frowned. It is true that he was only a small corps commander before, but he had participated in battles involving tens of thousands of people. Of course, he would not have seen such scenes. Unfortunately, he was not Duan Ji, and he could not be trained to issue orders and prohibitions.
The man of tiger and wolf.
Smoke and dust were everywhere in front, and the shouts of killing came from far away. Gai Jun shook Cai Wan's hand hard and said, "The bandits are coming, I have to get over."
Cai Wan whispered: "Gai Lang...be careful!"
"Your husband is a tiger-slaying hero."
Xu You smiled and said, "Ziying, I'll go with you."
Zang Hong said: "I have never killed anyone. I wonder if my feet will be weak in battle?"
"I am willing to fight side by side with my friends." Gai Jun let out a long laugh and suddenly turned his head. He saw Bian Wei holding his younger brother in the distance and looking at him with worry. Gai Jun nodded lightly and called her
