He Lian, the eldest son of Tan Shihuai, Great King of Xianbei, a good drinker, brutal in nature, the people were afraid.
Gongsun Xu, the eldest son of Gongsun Zan, the protector of Wu Huan Academy Officer and the general of White Horse Camp, within a few months, her reputation rose greatly.
He Lian also kept staring at Gongsun Xu with a complicated look. He couldn't help but think that there were many things that he couldn't do and couldn't do himself, such as the military meritocracy and the military strategy. If he dared to do this, they would be immediately thrown to the ground by the inferior nobles in the blink of an eye. It's precisely because there are some things that I can't do myself, that other than feeling curiosity towards Gongsun Xu, I also feel a little envious and jealous. Why am I, a dignified Great King of Xianbei, not even comparable to a seventeen or eighteen year old youth like you?
No matter what the two of them thought in their hearts, when He Lian ran over, a brilliant smile appeared on both of their faces.
He Lian jumped off his horse seven or eight steps away. He laughed loudly as he walked over, "I've long heard of General Zhang's great name. I've seen his exceptional bravery today!"
"The King is too kind!" Gongsun Xu also quickly jumped off his horse, laughing out loud as he welcomed the King, "The King is extremely handsome, his might can shake the north of the country, I wish I could see the King for too long!"
Laughing, the two of them stopped when they were about three steps away from each other.
"Has Marquis Jin been well?" He cupped his hands and asked.
Gongsun Xu cupped his hands and replied, "Thank you for your concern, my father is fine."
"The last time I met Marquis Jin was in Upper Valley County. At that time, this king and Marquis Jin were happily chatting. He Lian shook his head. His tone was full of regret.
"My father often mentioned the King too. My father originally wanted to come by himself, but Yuan Shao had been travelling in the southern part of the Jizhou and my father couldn't leave this place. I hope the King can forgive me." Gongsun Xu pretended to be apologetic, but in his heart, he gained a deeper understanding of He Lian's shamelessness.
Three years ago, Gongsun Zan led his troops to obstruct the convoy that was raiding the prefecture and seeing the Youzhou Army's powerful troops, he could not help but feel fear in his heart, and after saying a few words of greeting, he quietly retreated. No matter what, this situation was far from being a 'pleasant conversation', and yet, he had casually said it. His attitude seemed to be very sincere, and it could only be said that this person's thick skin was completely on par with Gongsun Xu's.
However, Gongsun Xu didn't know that his rebirth had indirectly saved He Lian's life. If not for him saving Liu Yu, Liu He, who was originally in history, would have been in a full swing fighting Gongsun Zan and the others. And when the He Lian took advantage of this opportunity to invade and raid Wanzhou, he unexpectedly died at the hands of the Chinese citizens, causing the internal strife within the Xianbei People to last for many years. Of course, in the end, He Lian had mysteriously died in the hands of the Chinese people, or else he died under the hands of Kebineng and Bu Dugen, and no one would know the truth anymore.
"Marquis Jin is busy with military matters, how could this king blame him?" He Lian smiled meaningfully, "It's the same if General Zimin comes. I believe that General knows about some of the things that have happened, right?"
"That's right, I have brought my father's most sincere friendship to the King!" Gongsun Xu answered cryptically and his expression was extremely natural, as if he was talking about a small matter that had nothing to do with him.
He Lian's eyes lit up as he nodded repeatedly, "That's great! General Zimin, you should not talk about this here, please go to the palace and talk about it. "
"As the King wishes." Gongsun Xu nodded his head in agreement. Looking at the line drawn in the distance, he asked, "But just now, the King and Kebineng have already made preparations.
"This matter is easy to overhear!" He Lian pointed to the top of the mountain and smiled. "This king has a horse running field there. It's about seven or eight miles away from the palace. How about the general's men settle there?"
"Good!" I've troubled the King. "It's just that, would Kebineng really do that?" Gongsun Xu asked hesitantly as he looked at Kebineng's group of tents.
He Lian laughed coldly, "Don't worry about this General Zimin. That place is the favorite farm of the previous emperor, so Kebineng definitely wouldn't dare to lead his army there! General Zimin, leave it to this king. "
"Sorry for the trouble, Great King!" However, before we depart, there is something that I need your help with. "
"What is it?" He was about to turn around and get on the horse when he suddenly hesitated.
Gongsun Xu sighed: "In the battle just now, there were over 200 casualties under my command. I want to send people to clean up the corpses, I hope the King can send people to assist us, so that Kebineng and the others will not disturb us!"
"This matter is not worth mentioning. This king will send out two thousand people to assist you." He Lian nodded and agreed, but he was extremely shocked in his heart. When Er Yu previously reported that the White Horse Camp's fighting strength was extremely strong, he did not believe it at the time. Now, Su Li's five thousand people had been completely lost. Gongsun Xu's side had only lost more than two hundred people, but White Horse Camp was actually this strong!
'The stronger the fighting strength of the White Horse Camp, the more advantageous this king is! ' While he was shocked, he was also overjoyed.
He Lian immediately split out a team of two thousand and followed Ku Le to the foot of the mountain to retrieve their corpses while he himself led the remaining forty thousand people to lead the way. Gongsun Xu's White Horse Camp followed closely behind as the entire group headed up the mountain.
In the joint camp of Kebineng and Bu Dugen, Bu Dugen stood under a large standard as he watched the group of people leave. He shouted angrily at Kebineng who was beside him: "I just made an agreement with Lian Lian and Little Wang, I never thought that in the blink of an eye, I would have broken my promise and brought the people of the Gongsun kid up the mountain!"
"No!" Kebineng shook his head, and said with a heavy voice: "Even though You Lian is a hypocrite who reneges his words, he would never be so stupid as to break his promise right in front of everyone! From this king's point of view, he should arrange for the people of the Gongsun kid to be stationed at the previous king's running field! That place is easy to defend, hard to attack, and very close to the palace.
Bu Dugen was startled, and said with a frown: "He Lian, as expected, you are sinister and cunning! Everyone knew that the stables were used by King Tan Shihuai to train the army and raise horses. Even today, he still kept several tens of old horses that the King Tan Shihuai had tamed, so he was still considered a sacred place to the Xianbei People. If Little Wang were to attack that place, it would definitely arouse the displeasure and even hatred of the commoners! "
"No worries!" Kebineng waved his hands nonchalantly, and laughed coldly: "You and I are now equal in strength in both forces. As long as Gongsun kid, this strong troop, is unable to get close to the altar, Lian Lian will definitely not dare to move! Men, send out scouts to watch White Horse Camp day and night, report if there is any movement! "
Gongsun Xu and his company followed the army and headed up the mountain. After walking for around six to seven kilometers, they arrived at a vast mountain plain a few hundred steps away. Rows of neat wooden houses were set up in the barracks, over ten thousand of them at a glance. There were eight 30-40 Zhang tall watchtowers at the entrance of the barracks and a 50-60 Zhang tall flagpole nearby.
"That is the first king's running field, and also the place where the first king exercises his army." He Lian pulled on the reins and introduced the flag to Gongsun Xu. There was a trace of sadness in his tone.
Gongsun Xu sighed: "As expected, your aura is extraordinary!"
"If the late emperor was still here, he would have definitely liked this young hero! He sighed and a trace of nostalgia appeared on his face. Ever since he killed his brothers and sisters, the number of times he had come here could be counted on one hand.
"I only regret not being able to see King Tan Shihuai's heroic bearing when I was born!" Gongsun Xu casually said a few words, but he was secretly laughing in his heart. If Tan Shihuai saw him as a 'young hero', he would definitely pull him out and cut him off without saying a word!
Standing guard at this run was a few dozen old soldiers that Tan Shihuai had left behind all those years ago. When they saw the large standard of the company coming from far away, they hurriedly opened the main gate of the camp and stood outside it orderly, ready to welcome them.
"Consecutive letters!" Before he spurred his horse forward, he turned his head and shouted.
"Here!" "Your Majesty, please give your instructions!" A tall and sturdy armored general rode his horse over and saluted with his hands on his chest.
Along the way, Lian Lian and Gongsun Xu had already introduced their subordinate generals. This general called Lian Xin's full name was Murong Lianxin, he was the eldest son of the great general Murong Feng under Tan Shihuai's command back then. Murong Lianxin and his father, Murong Feng, were similarly outstanding in martial arts, and both of them were loyal people. They had always trusted and valued him the most in company.
"This King will not go in." He Lian frowned and pointed at the main entrance of the camp with his horsewhip, "Take General Gongsun's subordinates and settle them down. Tell the old soldiers not to neglect the guests."
"Here!" Murong Lianxin loudly replied, then cupped his fists and bowed to Gongsun Xu and the others: "Everyone, please follow me in."
He Lian smiled at Gongsun Xu and said, "General Zimin, this king has already prepared a feast in the palace. How about leaving a general here to settle the warriors?
"Since you've invited me, how could I dare disobey?" Gongsun Xu hesitated for a moment before agreeing. He waved to Yan Rou who was behind him, "Zi Hu, bring the soldiers and settle down. Remember to treat the wounded in time. Ku Le needs to incinerate all the corpses of his brothers in time. "
"Here!" Yan Rou agreed loudly as she spurred her horse over. She had suffered from a few arrows just now, so her face was pale white.
Gongsun Xu looked at Guo Jia again, "Feng Xiao, you stay here as well."
Guo Jia nodded and followed along.
"Zi Long, follow me to the palace for the banquet."
"Here!"
After a while, the Gongsun Jia brothers brought the three hundred elite cavalry s with them as they escorted Gongsun Xu and Mu Yurou up the mountain. Amidst the crowd, there was a skinny soldier, with a picturesque appearance and a heroic air, it was the son of the Mo family, Mo Bingmei.
