Zhang Yan sat in the big tent and was listening to a subordinate Academy Officer report on today's casualties.
Guo Jia and Guan Jing sat on both sides of him, looking a little worried.
"There were more than 1,500 casualties, so it's not that big of a deal!" Go down! " After Zhang Yan finished listening to the report, he waved his hand for her to leave.
After the Academy Officer bowed, he turned and walked out. At this moment, the thundering sound of horse hooves could be heard.
Zhang Yan suddenly stood up, "Could it be Bo Guixiong?!" Before he even finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed as he said with a heavy voice. The sound of horse hooves came from the north, so it can't be Bo Guixiong! "
With that, he rushed out of the tent and looked towards the north. There was a long distance between the two parties, and it looked very clear. Judging from the large scale they were fighting, they should be the troops of Wuhuan of Liaodong King Kurna and Great King of Xianbei and his company. He immediately calmed his heart down, he knew that Gongsun Zan had summoned Xianbei People and Wu Huan to help, but he never expected that these Hu people would arrive so quickly.
Guo Jia and Guan Jing also followed along, but upon seeing that it was Hu Man, they heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhang Yan stared at the two large levels, and said solemnly: "It seems that even and I have come! Feng Xiao, you should have seen those two before.
Guo Jia's eyes widened as he looked over. Indeed, under the two large standards, he saw He Lian and Kurna respectively. The two of them were staring at each other from a distance, their expressions were sinister. He laughed: "Foster father, you are indeed He Lian and Kurna, seems like they are not on good terms!"
Zhang Yan laughed coldly: "This is what I should do! Bo Guixiong and the citizens have pretty good methods to deal with Hu Man, and to make them into obedient hounds, we must not only use our power and kindness, but also continuously fight with them, in order to smoothly control them! "
Guo Jia smiled and nodded in agreement, but he knew that was not the case. Maybe Gongsun Zan was just using the Hu people as if they were eagle-dogs, but Gongsun Xu had another idea — — Gongsun Xu always wanted to set a standard among the Hu people of the outside world, or perhaps, all the other races, so that they would know that those who joined would live a good life that they did not even dare think of before. Gongsun Xu had always wanted the most loyal Kurna to be the benchmark, so he cared a lot for the Wuhuan of Liaodong and specially opened a market in the Youzhou to trade with him. Gongsun Xu originally had a lot of follow-up measures to make Kurna and Wuhuan of Liaodong seem even more outstanding, but because of the outbreak of war in Jizhou, he did not have the time and energy to bother with the other people of Hu. Even so, because he could freely exchange markets with the Han Chinese, and could even buy weapons and armor that were eliminated by the Youzhou Army, the Wuhuan of Liaodong still became the target of envy for the Northern Hu.
At this time, the two cavalry had already rushed two to three miles away. Without waiting for Zhang Yan's order, the large troop of Army of Heishan s quickly gathered, forming a sturdy defense formation in front of the camp. The large group of archers also walked out of the camp, eyeing the Hu people who were rushing towards them, ready to shoot arrows at any time.
Even though he was a step faster than Kurna, when he saw that a large amount of troops had gathered in front of them, he hurried to order the troops to stop.
During the battle at Han Mountain, not only did he and his company suffer heavy losses, his self-confidence had also suffered a heavy blow. He had no choice but to temporarily retract his ambitions and pretended to kneel down, afraid that Gongsun Zanfuzi would be dissatisfied. A few days ago, the moment he received Gongsun Zan's order, he had brought fifteen thousand elite cavalry s with him on a day and night journey to arrive outside the long city, much earlier than the nearby Kurna.
Yan Rou led his great army and 'escorted' the two great cavalry army into Jizhou. He also sent a small team to clear the way before bringing the great army back to Youzhou. When the large army of He Lian and Kurna passed by Bo Ling, it unavoidably caused a commotion. Fortunately, there was the troop that Yan Rou had sent out, which prevented them from causing even more panic.
Seeing that he had only brought a few dozen people with him, Kurna also hurriedly stopped the team and brought a few tens of his personal guards with him to catch up.
Seeing that, Zhang Yan laughed coldly: At least they are sensible! He had already made up his mind that if the Xianbei People and Wu Huan dared to charge forward, even if they were here to take part in the battle, he would definitely teach them a lesson!
Guo Jia smiled indifferently: "Foster father is overthinking it! Kurna would definitely not show off his strength in front of army of Youzhou, and even if he had the thought, he would not have the guts to do so! "
Guan Jing also laughed: "Kurna was the marquis' most obedient jackal a long time ago, and now that the young marquis has suddenly risen to power, how would he dare to have any disrespectful thoughts? The Han Lang and company were also frightened by the battle, and the young duke has made many secret arrangements, so he definitely won't dare to come recklessly! "
As they spoke, Lian Lian and Kurna had already arrived in front of them. Facing the large army that was looking at them covetously, they jumped down from their horses at the same time, and walked over with large strides without even bringing a single guard.
"Feng Xiao, stand up, the two of you go welcome them!" After Zhang Yan finished his sentence, he turned and walked back into the big tent. Even if it was King Niang Bei and King Wu Huan, in his eyes, they were merely two jackal s that were not worth him personally welcoming them into his tent.
Guo Jia and Guan Jing looked at each other and laughed, then walked over to welcome him.
When both parties had gotten close to seven or eight steps, Helian and Kurna were the first to clasp their hands over their chests and salute, "Little Wang and Lian (Kurna) greet Officer Guo and Guardian Guan!
Guo Jia hurried forward to help the two of them up, and smiled: "You two kings are too kind, I do not dare to call you your we!"
He immediately straightened his body and laughed, "It's been a few months since we last met. Officer Guo's elegance even surpasses that of the past. I'm so impressed!"
Kurna snorted coldly, and cursed in his heart. Mother. She was raised to be a sycophant, but when she looked at Guo Jia, her face was filled with a flattering smile. Everyone knew that Guo Jia would become the son-in-law of the Marquis Jin in the future, and that he would be almost half the family of the Youzhou. If Ji Houfuzi succeeded in chasing after the deer, not only would Guo Jia be able to help the dragon, but he would also become the prince consort of the new dynasty.
Guo Jia looked at He Lian and saw that he was dressed in Chinese clothing under the armor. He could not help but frown and laughed: "After a few months, the King's Mandarin is even more fluent, he has also used the perfect Chinese language, it seems like you have worked hard!"
"Haha, of course!" He Lian said very proudly: "Every day, I will take out two hours to study Chinese and the ancient texts of the Chinese just so that I can serve the Marquis Jin and the General Gongsun better! Officer Guo, if Marquis Jin and General Gongsun knew of Little Wang's kind intentions, would they feel joy? "
Guo Jia casually replied: "If Master Hou and the General Gongsun were to know of the King's kind intentions, they would definitely give him a huge reward!"
He Lian laughed out loud again as he glanced at Kurna, his eyes filled with provocation and contempt.
Kurna was furious. In his opinion, they were truly his and his own people, so why would an outsider like him look down on him? He was just about to open his mouth and scold a few times when he suddenly saw Guo Jia secretly give him a meaningful glance, and quickly retracted the words that were about to leave his mouth.
At this time, Guan Jing laughed: "My two great kings, it's getting late, let's talk inside! "Please!"
"Officer Guo, please!" He extended his hand towards Guo Jia with a smile.
Guo Jia nodded his head: "Great King, let us go together!"
He flaunted himself to be Ji Houfuzi's most loyal subordinate, yet now, he had been snatched away by his mortal enemy in front of him. He was extremely furious in his heart, if it wasn't for the circumstances, he would have definitely argued with about it.
Guan Jing secretly looked at Kurna, and sneered in his heart, the Hu people here were all shallow thinking people, they could only be used like mad dogs. However, this was also good. The more stupid they were, the easier it would be for the father and son to control them. His thoughts changed, and he purposely slowed down his pace, and at the same time, gave Kurna a meaningful glance.
Kurna was startled, but followed suit.
When Guo Jia and He Lian were five or six steps away, Guan Jing quietly asked: "Your Majesty, are you unsatisfied?
Kurna nodded, and snorted angrily.
Guan Jing chuckled: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, this is a good thing for Your Majesty!"
Good? Kurna was startled, he simply did not understand what Guan Jing meant.
"The reason the Officer Guo is so cold to the King is because he views the King as one of his own! When the King was at home, did he need to feign courtesy towards his relatives? " Guan Jing's tone was sincere, but he was laughing in his heart, the analogy he made was not suitable, but Kurna definitely did not understand, but it did not matter, as long as the Wuhuan of Liaodong King was honest and obedient.
Kurna frowned his eyebrows. When he was at home, wasn't treating his children and relatives the same as shouting for him? It seems like he felt that Guan Jing was right, the Officer Guo does view me as one of her own people! When he remembered the look in Guo Jia's eyes before, he believed even more in Guan Jing's words. Immediately, his anger turned into joy as he cupped his fists and bowed to Guan Jing.
Guan Jing waved his hand: "We are on the same side, Your Majesty, please do not make such empty promises! "Let's go, hurry up and follow them!"
Kurna laughed and nodded, and quickly followed.
At this time, He who was walking in front turned his head and asked: "Officer Guo, has Master Hou and General Gongsun been well?"
Guo Jia said with an indifferent expression, "The Marquis and the General Gongsun are not here for the time being. All the major matters are decided by Marshal Zhang Yan.
He immediately stopped his steps as his heart started to guess nonstop. According to the information he received, the Jizhou was already entering a crucial stage of the war, and could be breached at any time. At this critical juncture, Gongsun Zanfuzi was actually not even here, could it be that something big happened? When they were passing by the Youzhou previously, everything was normal there. This meant that it was definitely not a problem with the Youzhou.
