Yuan Shao and Xu Huang had a very pleasant conversation here, and they felt like they had met each other too late, and they laughed out loud from time to time. Dian Wei was very surprised and didn't understand what was so funny. Although he didn't understand, he still did his duty and guarded his lord to ensure Yuan Shao's safety.
The conversation between Zhang Liao and Gao Shun was not very pleasant. At least now they had differences and quarreled loudly, which made Yuan Shao and the others look at him.
"Wenyuan, please stop trying to persuade me. It's absolutely impossible for me to surrender to my lord. You'd better give up and don't waste your time." Gao Shun said calmly as always.
Zhang Liao persuaded him earnestly, "Brother, you should think about it carefully. Lu Bu is not a wise master, and he is not worthy of your following him so wholeheartedly. It is better to follow my master and achieve great things together."
Gao Shun was a bit reluctant and said with an expressionless face, "General, don't try to persuade me. I have already made up my mind. I swear to repay you with my life for saving my life. If you serve an inhumane person, you will die at worst. You will be buried under the ground." That’s all.”
Zhang Liao was speechless at what he said. Although he knew Gao Shun was stubborn before, he didn't expect him to be so loyal.
These words also made Xu Huang look at him with admiration. He didn't want to meet this general because of a misunderstanding. He was so loyal and admired him.
After hearing what Gao Shun said, Yuan Shao not only did not let him give up his idea of recruiting him, but actually appreciated him even more. Such a loyal person must be in his hands.
Thinking that he was going to do it, Yuan Shao deliberately interrupted, narrowed the distance and said, "I wonder why General Gao Shun is here?".
Gao Shun saw Yuan Shao and Xu Huang approaching him and wanted to get closer. He did not answer, but kept an expressionless face, pretending that these people did not exist.
Zhang Liao saw that Gao Shunniu had lost his temper and was afraid that his master would become angry and blame him. In order to relieve the embarrassment, Zhang Liao told everyone what he had just discussed with Gao Shun one by one.
Yuan Shao finally knew why Gao Shun was here. It turned out that he was separated from Lu Bu and was here to protect his family.
The story begins when Lu Bu was defeated and fled with the Bingzhou generals, but Gao Shun was not called to talk about it. Gao Shun said he was used to this. But he did not escape alone, but instead fled with his men to protect Lu Bu's family. They were going to find a place to settle down first, and then go to meet up after getting news about Lu Bu.
However, on the road, they discovered the army of the alliance fighting against Yuan, marching towards Chang'an in a mighty manner. Although I don’t know the reason, looking at it like this, there will definitely be a big battle.
So they did not rush on the road immediately, but came to the road to Jizhou to rest for the time being and wait for the war to end before thinking of a way to leave.
He happened to meet Xu Huang who was about to go to Jizhou for a visit. Gao Shun saw Xu Huang coming from Chang'an with his team. He misunderstood that he was a pursuer sent by Chang'an, so he arranged his family members nearby, while he came with his men to fight.
When Xu Huang saw Gao Shun suddenly coming out, he thought he was a strongman who was robbing the Tao, and did not answer. He immediately asked his men to raid the formation for him, and they had a big battle with Gao Shun, and then they met Yuan Shao.
After knowing the cause and effect, and after the misunderstanding was resolved, Yuan Shao saw that Gao Shun had nowhere to go yet, so he suggested, "Since the general has not found Fengxian yet, it is better to go to Jizhou and settle down. After finding Lu Bu, there is no need to go to join him again." It’s too late. I wonder what the general’s intention is?” He winked at Zhang Liao as he spoke.
Seeing that Gao Shun was a little moved, he looked like he was thinking. Zhang Liao continued to persuade, "What my lord said is absolutely true. My lord is now the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. As long as he gives the order, I believe he will get news from Lu Bu soon. Maybe General Lu knows that his eldest brother is in Hebei, and he will definitely come here to join you. ah".
Gao Shun thought about it and it made sense. Lu Bu was very good at adapting to the situation. Knowing that the imperial court was now in Hebei, he would definitely travel thousands of miles to join him, and maybe he could get an official position. So he nodded and agreed.
This made Yuan Shao overjoyed, hehe, since I followed him to Hebei, I won't let you escape from my grasp.
Yuan Shao got two generals in one day and was very happy. After arranging for Zhang Liao to follow Gao Shun to pick up Lu Bu's family, Dian Wei was asked to notify the army to speed up and strive to reach Yecheng as soon as possible.
But he took Xu Huang back to the Chinese Army. On the one hand, he introduced him to Ju Shou and the others, and on the other hand, he discussed with Guo Jia how to recruit Gao Shun.
After arriving at the Zhongjun and introducing Xu Huang to everyone, Yuan Shao couldn't wait to discuss the matter with Guo Jia about Gao Shun.
Sure enough, Guo Jia had a lot of clever ideas. After hearing Yuan Shao explain the situation and express his thoughts, he whispered in his lord's ear that as long as he did this, he could be subdued.
Hearing that Yuan Shao was overjoyed, he agreed with Guo Jia and asked the shadow guard to follow the military advisor's instructions. In this way, Gao Shun, look at how you run out of my hand and come to the bowl quickly!
After Zhang Liao and Gao Shun returned to Lu Bu's family, although Yuan Shao was curious about the appearance of Diao Chan, the most beautiful woman in the Three Kingdoms, it was not the time to relax yet. There is a chance, but now is not the time.
We placed them with the families of the court ministers and set out with us back to Yecheng. Needless to say, Gao Shun must be surrounded by guards for safety. Even Yuan Shao ignored Yuan Shao's idea of inviting him to ride on the road with him in the carriage, and just kept to himself. Yuan Shao was not angry about this either. The future is long.
The Jizhou army did not need any orders and naturally accelerated their pace home. After about twenty days, we unknowingly saw the familiar tall city walls of Yecheng and we returned.
Naturally, they met Zhang He and an army of high-ranking cadres on the way, who came to meet them according to his own edict. He was eager to return home and without too many greetings, he joined forces and continued on the road towards Yecheng.
By the time we arrived at Yecheng, it was already evening and the moonlight was not very clear. The soldiers guarding the city saw an unidentified group of more than 200,000 people marching directly towards the city tower.
Feeling a little panicked, I went to report to the general guarding the city on duty, who was none other than his confidant and relative Gao Lan.
Gao Lan responded calmly. He was not in a hurry. On the one hand, he asked the soldiers guarding the city to prepare for battle. On the other hand, he went up to the tower in person to see what was happening on the other side, and then decided whether to fight or make peace.
Before Gao Lan could react, a familiar voice came up from below, his cousin Gao Gan yelled.
"Brother, open the city gate quickly, the lord and the army are back."
At this time, the figures of Zhang Liao and other generals stretched very long on the flag under the light of the fire. It turned out to be one of my own horses, and the lord is back.
Seeing this, Gao Lan quickly ordered his soldiers to call the city gate, and he hurried towards the city gate to welcome his lord into the city.
When they arrived at the city gate, they saw Yuan Shao coming with the generals and civil servants who were on the expedition, escorted by soldiers.
When Gao Lan saw him, he quickly came over to salute and wanted to pay homage to the emperor. However, Yuan Shao stopped him. Everyone has worked hard, so don't be so polite.
Let him arrange for the army to enter the city as soon as possible without disturbing the people, and find someone to settle the Han Emperor, court ministers and other people.
Gao Lan took the order and naturally went down to settle them down. Yuan Shao also asked his civil servants and generals to go down to rest and discuss matters in the council hall tomorrow morning.
All the civil and military officials took their orders and left one after another. Yuan Shao saw that things were almost done and he was very tired. He took Dian Wei and the guards back to his mansion and rested himself.
