When he was young, he was Eagle's Castle.

This place was worthy of its name. It was not an ordinary military camp. Rather, it was a fortress built by the Leaning Mountain Range. The city walls were four to five Zhang high and took up more than a hundred mu of land. The terrain was easy to defend and was hard to attack. It was said that tens of thousands of troops had been stationed inside the city during its heyday.

On the dilapidated city wall above the gate, Diao Chan who was dressed in black quietly looked far away, the dark red cape behind him dancing lightly in the night wind. They were all heavy cavalry s under Gongsun Xu's command. When Gongsun Xu returned to Xiao Pei, he left fifty people there to protect Lv Bu's family members.

These soldiers were brave and brave men that were one in a thousand miles. Even though they were all willing to listen to Gongsun Xu's orders, they were not willing to listen to him. Fortunately, Diao Chan did not ask them about other things. Since he had not issued any orders, he would come to the top of the city wall from time to time to look to the south.

After an unknown period of time, Diao Chan sighed in disappointment and turned to leave the city wall. Most of the houses here were destroyed, but there were a few green stone houses that were still in good condition. Yan Shi, Diao Chan and Lv Linger were resting there for the time being.

"Huh?" Just as Diao Chan turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something in the distance from the corner of his eyes. That thread of light became brighter and brighter, and before long, one could see the light of many torches. Those torches followed the road to the Eagle's Castle, and from the looks of it, they would reach the city wall in just ten minutes.

Diao Chan was ecstatic, this place had been abandoned for so many years, and normally, no one would come here even after a year. However, such a team with torches suddenly appeared, it was very likely. Nine,, General Gongsun and the others have returned.

One of the military lord s walked over quickly and bowed: "In order to be safe, please go back and hide. When you are certain that it is my general or Lv Wenhou, I will report it to Madam!"

Diao Chan said indifferently: "This place is usually empty, and we are also very secretive when we come here, so it is impossible for us to be enemies. It should be either Wen Hou or the General Gongsun. You just need to do your own things well, and that's it. I will not obstruct you, nor make any noise. "

military lord frowned, he cupped his fist and bowed, then went back to instruct his comrades to prepare their defenses. The fifty of them took out their crossbow s at the same time, and after stringing them up, they disappeared into the darkness, vigilantly staring at the approaching group of torches.

Diao Chan picked up the longbow and quiver that was hung on the wall and hid behind the wall in a flash.

After a short while, the torches stopped about a mile away from the castle. Several fast horses broke away from the torches and galloped towards the city wall.

Diao Chan gently took out an arrow and nocked it to the bow, and then aimed it outside from the entrance of the city.

Gongsun Xu's men also quietly aimed the crossbow s at the newcomers, but everyone's expression were relaxed, they also thought that most likely the crossbow s were either or General Gongsun.

The few fast horses arrived before them, and one of them raised his head and called out: "Where's Wu Tong?"

When the military lord who was talking to Diao Chan heard that it was a familiar voice, he still asked for the password. After talking to Diao Chan, he then asked excitedly: "Zhang Qian, is the general back yet?"

Seeing their familiar brothers, the other soldiers kept their crossbow s.

Diao Chan smiled and returned the arrow back into his quiver.

At this time, Zhang Qian, who was shouting, replied, "That's right, General and Lv Wenhou are here! Is there anything abnormal about this place? "

Wu Tong laughed: "Everything is normal! "General, please enter the castle and rest!"

Zhang Qian agreed, and let the three people that came with him come in first, while he quickly rode back to report to Gongsun Xu.

Wu Tong ran down the city wall, and when he arrived at the gate, he met the three of them head on, and asked excitedly: "Brothers, quickly tell me what happened at Xiao Pei!"

Those three people sighed at the same time, and one of them said sorrowfully, "Old Wu, don't ask anymore. Our brothers have suffered heavy losses, and less than 200 of them have returned!"

"What!" Wu Tong was shocked, she grabbed onto the man and bellowed: "How is that possible! They were the strongest troops in the White Horse Camp, and under the leadership of the General Gongsun, how could they possibly suffer such a heavy loss? Could it be that you are waiting here to amuse me? "

"What he said is true!" The other man said softly: "Even military lord Hou Meng was severely injured and could not wake up, I am afraid it will be hard to stay alive!"

Wu Tong and Hou Yong were both the most trusted people in the General Gongsun, but they had also fallen to such a situation. It could be seen that the General Gongsun and his brothers were in a serious crisis this time! He hastily asked: "Has General Gongsun been injured?"

"Small injuries are fine!"

Wu Tong heaved a sigh of relief. If General Gongsun was also severely injured, then he really did not know how to explain this to him.

Just as they were speaking, a large group of people had already reached Da Menfujin. When Wu Tong saw that Leader was actually Gongsun Xu, he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

Under the firelight, Gongsun Xu looked extremely tired. He casually waved his hand and urged his horse to ride inside.

Wu Tong dodged to the side and watched as the others entered the door one after another. When he saw the unconscious Lv Bu, he was extremely shocked in his heart. Even Lv Wenhou, who was known as the world's fiercest general, was severely injured to the point of not waking up.

After a full hour, the two thousand plus people finally entered the castle. The quiet castle immediately became lively.

Gongsun Xu climbed up the city wall and walked around casually. He instructed Gao Shun, "General Gao, please have your men cut down some trees and fix the door."

Gao Shun promised as he turned around to gather his men.

Gongsun Xu yawned, he only felt sore all over his body, and wished that he could immediately lie on the bed and get a good night's sleep. It was a pity that Lv Bu was unconscious and unconscious. Chen Gong was also exhausted, so everything had to be arranged by him. Before resting, he would definitely have to do some work. He ordered Wu Tong and the others to be on guard as he descended from the city walls, and personally escorted Lv Bu to the house where the three of them were staying.

Wu Tong watched Gongsun Xu leave, and casually looked at his surroundings. He did not discover anything strange, he was anxious to know what exactly was happening at Xiao Pei, so he immediately called for his brothers who had returned with Gongsun Xu, and started asking them questions.

In a forest that was about three to four miles away from the castle, a few figures stared at the large group of people as they entered the castle. One of them said in a low voice, "It seems like they won't be leaving tonight.

The others complied and quickly ran to the back of the forest. They mounted their previously hidden warhorses and galloped towards the south.

The man climbed up a tree quickly and stared at the wall ahead of him.

Gongsun Xu, Gao Shun and Chen Gong protected Lv Bu together, and they quickly arrived at the house where Yan Shi and the other two were staying. Lv Linger was already asleep, but Yan Shi and Diao Chan was already waiting at the door.

Yan Shi held Lv Bu's arm and sobbed softly, his mouth constantly complaining.

Diao Chan first greeted Gongsun Xu, Gao Shun and Chen Gong separately, then quickly checked Lv Bu's injuries. With furrowed brows, he asked: "Mr. Gong Tai, why are Wen Hou's injuries so severe?"

Chen Gong looked ashamed, and explained everything that had happened before in a low voice.

After Diao Chan finished listening, he shook his head and did not say anything else. She walked over to Yan Shi's side and softly said, "Big sister, my husband's injuries are heavy.

Yan Shi stopped crying and only then did he remember to pay respects to Gongsun Xu. However, his expression was ugly, obviously, he was dissatisfied with Gongsun Xu. When Chen Gong and Gao Shun bowed, Yan Shi's expression became even uglier, so much that he did not even say a word to the two of them.

Gongsun Xu did not mind, seeing that Lv Bu had been carried into the house, he said to the embarrassed Chen Gong and Gao Shun: "This time Feng Xianxiong's misfortune has nothing to do with the two of you, if not for Mr. Gong Tai's timely intervention, I am afraid that Feng Xianxiong's sister-in-law would have already been furious, why would the two of you take this to heart? Let's go and have some food and discuss what to do next. "

Chen Gong looked at the door and sighed dejectedly. He boasted that he was unparalleled in schemes, but this time he suffered a big setback. It would have been better if Yan Shi had scolded him earlier, but she ignored him. It was obvious that she no longer trusted him, which made his heart even more uncomfortable.

Gao Shun also frowned, he and Lv Bu were brothers, thus he usually treated Yan Shi with utmost respect, but he never thought that Yan Shi would even blame himself, which made him depressed in his heart.

"You two, let's go!" Gongsun Xu turned a blind eye to the two's awkwardness, he knew that they would be even more uncomfortable staying here, so he simply walked forward and grabbed onto one of their hands and dragged them away.

Chen Gong and Gao Shun did not speak either, and allowed Gongsun Xu to pull them away.

After silently walking for more than a hundred steps, Chen Gong said dejectedly: "I am forever grateful for this General Gongsun's good intentions! I have a presumptuous request, I hope that the general can grant it! "

Gongsun Xu released Chen Gong, and said respectfully: "Mr. Gong Tai, as long as I can do it, I won't decline!"

"After we return to the Youzhou, I hope that the General will grant us permission to rebuild the Bingzhou Army!"
