The few fast horses quickly arrived, and the leader of the riders jumped down from his horse, and quickly walked to Gongsun Xu to report in a low voice: "General, we have caught a suspicious person!"
"Where is he?" Gongsun Xu looked at the nearby Xuzhou people and asked softly.
When the salt dealer heard Gongsun Xu's two sentences, he was so scared that he almost died. He thought that he might lose his life, but after hearing Gongsun Xu's words about letting him do things, and even ask him for his name, he immediately calmed down and replied respectfully, "Reporting to Lord General, this lowly one is called Wang Liang. I am willing to serve Lord General!"
"Wang Liang, you are quite clever." Gongsun Xu smiled indifferently, and quickly walked towards the forest in front.
Wang Liang's eyes immediately blossomed with pleasant surprise, and in that moment he felt that he had gained a blessing in disguise. If he had any other choices, he definitely wouldn't have become a shamelessly poor salt merchant! He hadn't thought that he would be praised by this renowned young duke. This was even happier than earning a large sum of money, not to mention that the young duke had said he wanted him to do something. This might be the only chance in his life that he'd ever had to rise to greatness! Besides, this young duke had never treated people who did things for him unfairly. If he lost his life because of this, his family would surely be treated well by the young duke. Wang Liang couldn't help but secretly make up his mind. No matter what the Little Marquis told him to do later, he would do it even if it meant risking his life!
did not know that he had only praised them casually, as he had made Wang Liang make up his mind to work for him, if not he would have been moved. He had expended a lot of effort in order to win over Zhao Yun and Yan Rou, and went to Zhao Jia Village overnight to save Zhao Yun.
Gongsun Xu followed the few scouts who reported and walked forward about seventy to eighty steps, entering the verdant and dark green forest. They saw seven to eight White Horse Camp guards and a man dressed in black, with a very ordinary appearance. Gongsun Xu immediately determined that this person was definitely someone who fought on the battlefield for many years, and his skills were not bad either. Thinking about it, he was a little surprised, logically speaking, this kind of person should not be caught so easily!
Seeing Gongsun Xu had come, the two soldiers quickly cupped their fists and greeted him.
Hei Yihanzi looked at Gongsun Xu, and his eyes lit up, following that he cupped his fists and bowed.
Gongsun Xu stared at Hei Yihanzi for a moment, and then said coldly: "You are definitely not some nameless person, can you tell me your name?"
Hei Yihanzi said indifferently: "A mere lowly name is not worth mentioning. I should not have deliberately hidden it, it's just that I have something that I do not understand, would General be able to enlighten me first?"
Gongsun Xu secretly nodded his head, this man's martial arts was not bad, his speech and behavior was not bad either, 80% of the time. Nine was a certain historical figure, but he didn't know who it was. Immediately, his attitude became a bit more gentle as he said in a low voice, "Sire, please tell me about it."
Hei Yihanzi's expression was calm as he asked, "The army of Youzhou is currently in a fierce battle with Yuan Shao. Why would the famous General Gongsun Xu suddenly appear within the borders of the Xuzhou?"
Clank, clank, clank! The few soldiers of White Horse Camp all pulled out their weapons and glared at Hei Yihanzi fiercely. They waited for Gongsun Xu's orders before immediately killing him on the spot! This time, Gongsun Xu only brought five hundred elite riders who were disguised as Yuan Shao over to the Xuzhou, and this matter seemed to have slipped through everyone's eyes and ears, he did not expect that his identity would be exposed in such a place, where no one else was around.
"Put away your weapon!" Gongsun Xu waved his hand, and said indifferently: "If this friend has any malicious intentions, then all of you are already dead!"
Hei Yihanzi chuckled, "As expected of the famed General Gongsun Xu, you actually saw through my strength with a single glance!"
Although this sentence seemed to be complimenting Gongsun Xu, it was actually boasting too. It completely ignored the White Horse Camp's soldiers who were looking after him just now.
A few White Horse Camp soldiers looked at each other and unwillingly sheathed their swords, but they continued to stare at Hei Yihanzi.
Gongsun Xu looked around Hei Yihanzi, and said in a deep voice: "Your distinguished temperament is not ordinary, and is definitely not ordinary. How about you let this general guess your esteemed self's identity? If your guess is correct, this general wishes to ask for your esteemed self's help with a small matter! "
"What if I'm wrong?" Hei Yihanzi asked with interest.
"If you're wrong, then leave!"
"Good!" I will play with General Gongsun! " Hei Yihanzi agreed without hesitation.
"Obviously, you are not Liu Bei's man, and you are definitely not a thief. Then, where did you come from?" Gongsun Xu paused here, and said word by word, "You must be Lv Wenhou's man!"
Hei Yihanzi's face was full of shock, he thought that Gongsun Xu would definitely not be able to guess who he was, but he never expected that would actually be able to guess his origins so accurately! After the short period of shock, Hei Yihanzi quickly recovered his calm and cupped his hands towards Gongsun Xu to show his admiration.
Gongsun Xu scratched his chin and stared at Hei Yihanzi for a while, then suddenly laughed: "Could it be that you are xianzhen camp's main general, Gao Shun?"
Hei Yihanzi was initially teasing him, but then he jumped in fright as if he had seen a ghost. He was stunned for a good while before recovering his senses, and asked anxiously: "Could it be that General Gongsun has seen this one before?"
With that said, Hei Yihanzi could be considered to have confirmed his guess. He was indeed Gao Shun, who was as famous as Zhang Liao. The xianzhen camp that this person had single-handedly built was extremely famous in the future, and was on par with the elites of tiger leopard riding, First Battalion, White Horse Yiping, and the others. It was an extremely elite group of heavily armored walking soldier.
"Never seen it before!" Gongsun Xu shook his head.
Gao Shun asked suspiciously: "Why did General Gongsun guess that I am Gao Shun?"
Gongsun Xu laughed, then said: "There are a lot of generals under Lv Wenhou's command, among them the most famous and powerful are Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, the two generals. It is rumored that General Zhang Liao possesses both civil and martial skills, and is extremely handsome, the General Gao does not match this point, so I guessed that you must be Gao Bo Ping!"
"General Gongsun's answer is a bit perfunctory!" Gao Shun shook his head in dissatisfaction, and said in a muffled voice: "General Gongsun said earlier, my master Lv Wenhou has many war generals under his command, so why must I be Gao Shun?"
Gongsun Xu sneered, and said with disdain: "Although Lv Wenhou has many division generals, other than General Zhang Wen Yuan and General Gao, everyone else is just a bunch of trash in this general's eyes!"
"General Gongsun's words are a bit too much!" Gao Shun's face sank, but in his heart, he was rather happy. To be able to receive the praise of this mighty young general, even someone as haughty as him could not help but take it to heart.
Gongsun Xu smiled and quickly changed the topic: "May I ask why General Gao is here?"
Gao Shun cupped his fists: "To be honest, General Gongsun, I have come under the order of my master to prepare to head over to Qinghe County in order to watch the situation of the battle. At that time, I would like to invite General Gongsun for a convenience!"
"It's nothing, General Gao doesn't need to be so polite!" Gongsun Xu supported him and asked sternly once again: "I have another question, General is clearly able to leave at any time, but why have you not moved?"
Gao Shun said in a deep voice, "Nothing else, I just suddenly realized that these are all Youzhou's soldiers, and wanted to see the General Gongsun as soon as possible!"
"This way, General Gao really has no sincerity at all!" Gongsun Xu laughed coldly: "This general's subordinates are all wearing the clothes and armor of the Yuan Shao Army and the general has never seen them before. Why are you so sure that they are Youzhou's soldiers?"
"It is said that Cao Cao has worked hard, and the tiger leopard riding that he spent a huge sum of money to build is the number one elite cavalry in the world, but he was still beaten up by the General Gongsun's Master of the Tigers and Wolves. That Henei County was also kept in the general's bag, and all the soldiers and horses in the city are now under the control of the general, so it is impossible for many people to come to the Qinghe County to seek refuge with Yuan Shao. Furthermore, that Yuan Shao is currently hiding in the Qinghe County City and does not have many cavalrymen at his disposal, how can he send out such an elite troop of cavalrymen? " Gao Shun paused here, and then pointed to the crossbow on the back of a White Horse Camp soldier. "Let alone the fact that these cavalry soldiers' equipment is different from the others, this seemingly very powerful crossbow is a crossbow made by the General, right? Other than the soldiers of the White Horse Camp, who would have so much money to equip their subordinates? "That's why I've come to the conclusion that this is the general's troop. That's why I've been able to push the boat with the current to be brought before the general!"
When the few White Horse Camp soldiers heard this, they became even angrier. They thought they had caught a sneaky guy, but they never expected him to do it on purpose. If Gongsun Xu had not said anything, they would have already charged towards him and taught him a lesson.
"General is so meticulous that his reputation is well-deserved!" Gongsun Xu sighed with emotion, then said coldly: "However, General, please do not treat this general as a fool, you should just be honest and tell me your true intentions for going to the Qinghe County!"
"Haha!" Gao Shun suddenly laughed, gave Gongsun Xu a big thumbs up and praised: "General Gongsun is indeed well-deserved! [That's right. I do have something else to do, and it has something to do with the general!] Please read this letter first, General. " With that, he took out a book from his bosom and handed it over to Gongsun Xu.
