The sky gradually darkened, and the shouts of killing suddenly subsided. Thousands of cavalry slowly gathered around Lu Bu and broke out to the north. Cao's army swarmed in pursuit, and the formation was in chaos. Gao Jin saw this opportunity, reined in his horse and headed west.
Cao Hong stared at Gao Jin's back, and quickly went over to check Dian Wei's injuries. Seeing that Dian Wei was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then became upset again. The soldiers of Lu Bu's army just now were weak.
They were all surrounding him, and they would not let him get away. It was a pity to let him run away now, and he had missed the opportunity to avenge Dian Wei.
It was too late to regret. After Gao Jin defeated Dian Wei, Cao Hong was worried about Dian Wei's injury. On the other hand, he was frightened by Gao Jin. Looking back now, he really missed the opportunity.
Cao Hong sighed and ordered people to carry Dian Wei back to the camp. The battle had come to an end. Lu Bu's army broke out. Cao's army could not catch up, so they had to collect the bones of their companions and bury them on the spot before returning to the camp. Cao Hong returned to the camp in disgrace.
Camp, a cavalry general came over with a group of soldiers, and greeted Cao Hong: "Brother..."
Some color returned to Cao Hong's face: "Where is Zixiao going?"
The cavalry commander said: "Lu Bu's daughter was separated from Lu Bu on the battlefield today. Many people saw that a cavalryman rescued her and took her to the upper reaches of the Surabaya River. Cao Gong has ordered me to search nearby to see if I can find her."
Cao Hong thought of the fainted woman on the battlefield, and then thought of the weird cavalryman. He couldn't help but feel frightened, and his face changed drastically.
The cavalryman who was talking to Cao Hong was Cao Hong's younger brother Cao Ren. Thinking that Cao Ren was going to chase that weird cavalryman, Cao Hong quickly dissuaded him: "Zi Lian must not go. Hey... I can't explain this at the moment. You are here first."
Wait here, I will go to see Duke Cao first and ask him to take back my order."
Cao Ren said: "Brother, what happened today? I was just chasing a woman. Today, General Xu Zhu was injured in the battle with Lu Bu. General Dian Wei also came back with a serious injury. Lord Cao is angry. Brother is tired from fighting on the battlefield. Brother is still alive."
Let's go back to the camp to rest first. Zi Lian will come as soon as he leaves." After saying that, before Cao Hong could persuade him again, Cao Ren had already clapped his horse and left with dozens of soldiers.
Cao Hong looked at Cao Ren's retreating back and couldn't help but stamp his feet. He dropped his feet and sighed: "Zi Lian will leave with little luck..." After a long time, he finally realized: "This matter needs to be reported to Duke Cao first."
……………………………………………………………………………………
In the second year of Jian'an, Liu Bei teamed up with Cao Cao to attack Lü Bu. Lü Bu was surrounded by Xiapi and had nothing to do. Advisors Xu Si and Wang Kai came forward and asked Yuan Shu to send troops to help his only daughter Lü Wanjun marry Yuan Shu's son. Lü Bu followed his plan and wrote the book that day.
The two of them went to Huainan to meet Yuan Shu.
Xu Si and Wang Kai arrived in Shouchun, met with Yuan Shu, and submitted a letter. Yuan Shu said: "Lü Bu once killed my envoy for the sake of my marriage! Why are you here again to ask me?"
Xu Si replied: "This is a mistake made by Cao Cao's treacherous plan. I would like to clarify it in detail."
Yuan Shu said: "If your lord is not in dire straits because of Cao's soldiers, how can you be willing to give me your daughter?"
Wang Kai said: "If the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty do not help each other now, they are afraid that their lips will die and their teeth will become cold. This is not the blessing of the Ming Dynasty."
Yuan Shu thought for a moment: "Lu Fengxian has repeatedly been unfaithful, so he can give his daughter away first and then send troops."
Xu Si and Wang Kai had no choice but to return to Xiapi and tell Lü Bu everything Yuan Shu had said. It turned out that Lü Bu had two wives and one concubine: first he married Yan as his wife, and then he married Diao Chan as his concubine; when he lived in Xiaopei, he married another
Cao Bao's daughter was his second wife. The Cao family died first, and Diao Chan also had no children. However, the Yan family had a daughter, and Lu Bu was the last.
Because Yuan Shu was in Huainan earlier, he had many soldiers and food. Lu Bu believed that he would become emperor sooner or later and would achieve great things. He also heard that Yuan Shu had only one son. It happened that Yuan Shu was willing to marry Lu Bu at that time and sent an envoy to propose on his son's behalf. Lu Bu felt that his daughter
She had the hope of becoming a concubine, so she paid Yuan Shu's envoy generously and agreed to get married.
Lü Bu's character was originally capricious. Yuan Shu wanted to proclaim himself emperor in Huainan and sent someone to ask Lü Bu for marriage. Lü Bu listened to the advice of his advisers and felt that it was inappropriate for Yuan Shu to proclaim himself emperor, so he detained Yuan Shu's envoy to Xuchang. From then on, Yuan Shu and Lü Bu
Turn against each other and become enemies.
At this time, Xiapi was in danger, and Lu Bu was defeated one after another, so he began to hope that Yuan Shu would send troops to rescue him. Yuan Shu had been fooled once, so how could he believe Lu Bu again and asked Lu Bu to send his daughter to Shouchun first and then send troops to rescue him. Lu Bu thought again and again,
He personally took his daughter and three thousand fine horses out of the city, but was intercepted by Cao's army. Instead of sending his daughter out, he became separated from her.
Lü Bu returned to Xiapi with his defeated troops. His wife, Yan, was in tears all day when she heard that her daughter was separated. Lü Bu also looked sad. While he sent people to search, he drank at the mansion to relieve his boredom. When the generals saw Lü Bu like this, they were all discouraged.
, Xiapi City is in danger.
………………
"Ah..." In the small woods on the left bank of Surabaya, Lu Wanjun opened her eyes slightly and saw a man covered in blood kneeling on her knees and pinching her cheek. She screamed in horror.
Gao Jin smiled bitterly: "Hey, what's your attitude? I saved you. It's okay if you don't say thank you. What else can you call me? If you raise your voice louder, you can attract Cao Jun."
Lu Wanjun then fell silent and struggled to sit up. Looking at the filthy hem of her robe and skirt, she couldn't help but frown: "Where is this? Where is my father?"
Gao Jin shook his head: "Who is your father?"
Lu Wanjun said in surprise: "You don't know my father?"
Gao Jin scratched his head: "Your father can't be Lu Bu."
Lu Wanjun nodded.
In fact, Gao Jin had already guessed something. It had been a day since he escaped from the battlefield. Looking back afterwards, who else could the soldier holding a painted halberd like a god of murderer be in the battlefield besides Lu Bu? Lu Wanjun's words just confirmed him.
Guessing, he nodded: "I see. No wonder there was someone looking for you frantically on the battlefield. It must be Lu Bu."
Seeing that Gao Jin had no ill intentions, Lu Wanjun felt relieved. Thinking that she and her father were separated, she felt a little confused: "Daddy must be worried to death if he can't find me."
She was worried for a while, and then said timidly: "I'm a little hungry."
Hearing this, Gao Jin took out a few wild fruits from his arms, wiped them with his hands, and said, "You can just make do with them to fill your stomach."
Lu Wanjun hesitantly picked a wild fruit and put it into his mouth, then spit it out, frowning and said: "Bitter..."
Gao Jin said in his heart: "You can't eat such a good thing if you want to eat it." This is true. This kind of wild fruit is called nectar fruit, which is extremely rare in later generations. The nectar fruit tastes extremely bitter, but it is
It has the effect of dredging the meridians and is very good for nourishing qi. Even if ordinary people eat it, it can boost energy and relieve fatigue.
Gao Jin frowned, this was still in the battle zone between the two armies, and Lu Wanjun was Lu Bu's daughter. How could Cao Jun let it go so easily, taking advantage of the fact that the pursuers didn't come, and they could go as far as they wanted now. This
Gao Jin had no interest in participating in a war in which the superiors seized land and power.
I'm afraid I can't go back to this woman. The city of Xiapi has been surrounded by Cao's army. Going to Xiapi is like throwing myself into a trap. What's more, Gao Jin knows that Lu Bu will be defeated sooner or later and will be killed in Baimenlou. All he can do is to kill her.
Take it to a safe place. As for other things, he can't care so much.
It's just that Lu Wanjun doesn't eat wild fruits, and Gao Jin can't find better food. How far can he go in this hurry? Gao Jin sighed and said with a straight face: "What time of year do you still dislike? This fruit
Eat some, it will be very beneficial." He started to want to be tough, but when he saw Lu Wanjun's innocent eyes mid-sentence, he became a little discouraged, and turned to soft words to induce him.
Lu Wanjun shook her head: "I still have strength even if I don't eat."
Gao Jin had no choice but to say: "You can eat whenever you are hungry, and I will save it for you first." He continued: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. Let's go now and follow the river to see if there is a ferry.
Take a boat to the other side of the river."
Lu Wanjun widened her eyes and said, "Aren't you going back to Xiapi?"
Gao Jin said: "Xiapi has been surrounded by Cao's army. If we go back, won't we surrender ourselves?"
Lu Wanjun's eyes sparkled, as if a pool of water was about to drip onto her cheeks: "But my parents are both in Xiapi. My father sent me to Shouchun to marry Yuan Shu's son in the hope that Yuan Shu could send troops to rescue the siege of Xiapi. If we
If we go like this, Cao Jun will attack Xiapi sooner or later."
Gao Jin hardened his heart and said, "Since you know this, why are you going back? To die with Lu Bu? There are Cao soldiers everywhere, let alone entering the city, even getting close is impossible. If you fall into the hands of Cao Jun, what will happen to you?"
It’s even more disadvantageous for dad, you have to think clearly, I’m going to cross the river.”
After saying this, he didn't look at Lu Wanjun, picked up the iron spear not far away, and went to lead the horse in the woods. Lu Wanjun bit his lip looking at Gao Jin's back, and suppressed the tears in his eyes angrily.
Gao Jin mounted his horse and asked again: "Are you really not going?"
Lu Wanjun said stubbornly: "I want to go back to Xiapi."
Gao Jin stopped talking and rode his horse along the river bed to the upper reaches of Surabaya. In this case, his choice was undoubtedly the most correct.
Surabaya is connected to the sea by Yimeng in the east, Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, in the west, Zoucheng, the hometown of Mencius, in the south, and Mount Tai in the north. Gao Jin headed west and ran upstream for a while, but he found a ferry, but it was already here
Desolate, except for a few dilapidated thatched huts
Apart from half of the collapsed trestle, not to mention boats and not even a single human being, Gao Jin was stunned for a while while looking at the flowing Surabaya River. Gao Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. This place is only a few dozen miles away from Xiapi, how could there be anyone there?
, even if it existed before, it would have long since escaped the flames of war.
He got off the horse, washed his face by the river, took off his blood-stained armor and threw it into the river, leaving only his underwear and breeches. Then he walked ashore wet, and when he reached the horse, he suddenly
The boy stopped moving and stared blankly at the saddle.
He came to this world inexplicably and experienced a bloody battle, but apart from some knowledge in books, he knew almost nothing about this place. Where can he go? What should he do? Everything is at a loss now, and he can't touch a new life.
direction.
Gao Jin thought of the girl he saved from the battlefield again. He touched his nose and smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly. Although he had practiced martial arts with his master for half his life, he was still a mediocre person. He knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
, will have a dark psychology, laughter and sadness. At the same time, like everyone, he has a heart of compassion. If a lonely girl is abandoned like this, what should she do if she is really in danger?
Gao Jin sighed. He was a little angry at the girl's stubbornness just now, but now he was relieved. Comparing his feelings, if his parents were surrounded in Xiapi, they would not be able to walk so happily. He got on his horse, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided
Turn the horse back the same way.
On the way back, Gao Jin felt more relaxed. Some things seemed stupid, but at least he could feel at ease. Along the way back, he could gradually see the woods where Gao Jin had left, but when he returned to the starting point just now, Gao Jin could no longer
There is no trace of Lu Wanjun.
Gao Jin got off his horse and murmured to himself: "Has she already left?" He looked around and smiled with a self-deprecating smile. This stubborn girl would not really go to Xiapi. He hesitated for a moment.
, I don’t know if I should go to Xiapi City to see it.
In an instant, Gao Jin suddenly discovered something. He stared at his feet with sharp eyes. He squatted down and checked for a moment before standing up solemnly. There were footprints of more than ten people here, and there were many horse hooves further ahead.
mark, that is to say, someone has been here, the number should be about ten to twenty, high
Jin once practiced internal medicine in Mount Emei. There was no ready-made food there and he had to rely on himself for everything. Gao Jin was an experienced hunter. He looked carefully for a while and found a pile of horse dung with residual warmth.
, Gao Jin concluded that this group of people had not gone far, he sighed, got back on his horse, and chased in the direction of Xiapi.
