Time flies, years fly by, and several years pass by slowly.
In the past few years, Gongsun Zhu has also undergone remarkable changes.
At the same time, he finally understood the simplest and most important truth.
Everything will not change based on human will and hope!
Gongsun Zhu had forgotten when his uncle Gongsun Zan left his side and left Zhuojun for the capital.
He only knew that shortly after Gongsun Zan left, their common mentor Lu Gong and Lu Zhi finally agreed to the imperial court's conquest of him.
Thus began to truly enter the court.
Perhaps, late one night, the mentor finally understood that the stability of being alone is not enough to change everything in this world.
Therefore, he decided to devote himself to the world, hoping to use his own efforts to make some changes for the future of this world.
Before leaving, Lu Zhi didn't say much to them, but in the last period of the last lesson, he told them to find the path they wanted to take.
After that, they really went their separate ways.
Those with background, such as Gongsun Zan, have already prepared enough escape routes for themselves.
People with good talents, such as Gao You, already have the capital to travel around the world, broaden their horizons, and spread their fame to the world.
People with good family fortune, such as Liu Deran, also returned home to inherit their own property. Looking at the rich family fortune, enjoying the appreciation of their fellow villagers, they thought about becoming a rich man with peace of mind.
Of course, in addition to people like them, there are more people like Gongsun Zhu and Liu Bei who don't know where the way forward is.
The two of them also went back and forth in a familiar wine shop, but in the end they still felt that this kind of life was not what they wanted.
Finally, Liu Bei told Gongsun Zhu that he would stay in his hometown to take care of his blind mother. At the same time, he hoped to start a career in his hometown and accumulate some wealth.
Gongsun Zhu, on the other hand, was noncommittal about his decision, and did not comment on whether it was good or bad. He just raised his wine bottle high, hoping that he could fulfill his wish as soon as possible.
After that, he picked up his luggage and said goodbye to his true hometown in his heart.
Gongsun Zhu did not return to his family. Like Gongsun Zan, he was also from a side branch. The Gongsun family had recently declined, and his sideline descendants had little chance when they returned home.
And...when he came to this world, he always wanted to take a look and see if this big man was really as great as he had heard.
So he went to Bingzhou, because there was the border of the Han Dynasty, countless heroic Han troops, and countless Han family sons.
He firmly believes that in Bingzhou, he can see the most beautiful scenery in the world.
In the third year of Jianning, Gongsun Zhu carried a sword that was neither luxurious nor sharp, and took a bad horse that Liu Bei gave him as a gift after almost "breaking his fortune", and then embarked on the road north to join the army.
At Yanmen Pass, he was successfully incorporated into the Bingzhou frontier army because of his inferior horses and his skillful equestrian skills.
He successfully became a cavalryman in Yanmen Pass.
For many years after that, Gongsun Zhu relied on his riding skills and body to charge and kill again and again, but he did not rush out of the Great Wall to chase the foreigners.
Instead, as reinforcements, they went deep into Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang and other counties in the northern part of Bingzhou to fight with the Xianbei people.
The Xianbei people... Gongsun Zhu was no stranger. He remembered that this was a very big force, especially the one named Murong, and the Xianbei Suotou...
Well, but this time Gongsun Zhu didn't see any Murong or Suo Tou. He saw a Xianbei named Tan Shihuai.
That was a name that he would remember for the rest of his life. Within a few years, Gongsun Zhu followed the Han generals, the Han Xianbei captain and many border generals, and even followed the Han Bingzhou governor to send troops outside the Great Wall to fight with the Xianbei people. !
After fighting again and again, Gongsun Zhu watched helplessly as the frontier front of the Han Dynasty changed from Jiluxai on the border of Wuyuan County in Bingzhou to Yanmen County where Gongsun Zhu was stationed.
The generals of the Han army who led Gongsun Zhu in the fighting and fighting died one after another at the hands of the Xianbei people.
Wuwan captain Xia Yu, Xianbei lieutenant general Tian Yan, Xiongnu lieutenant general Zang Min...
These three so-called three generals of the Northern Territory of the Han Dynasty, even though they attacked together, they were still swept away by them like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!
In the end, those who were lucky just ended up losing their armor and losing their armor.
And Zhang Yi, the governor of Bingzhou, was beaten so hard that he dared not go out and could only keep roaring.
Looking at the appearance of the Bingzhou border troops, even though there was always resistance in this border area, he still couldn't see any hope.
That Tan Shi Huai... is too powerful.
It even made him feel desperate.
Of course, Gongsun Zhu still got to know many people through these failures, including Zhang Liao, who was also a hero of Yanmen, and Lu Bu, who led his friends from Wuyuan County to fight thousands of miles away.
There was also Zhang Yang, who was born in Bingzhou and was famous for his bravery in the military, but was a bit reckless and mindless.
In addition to them, Gongsun Zhu also met many people.
For example, there is Wei Xu, who is greedy and afraid of death, but has a good sister, and Wei Yue Chenglian, who is majestic and quite brave.
There is also Hou Cheng who is good at telling horses but is too greedy for alcohol...
Of course, being able to get to know these people, Gongsun Zhu is already a legend with a reputation for bravery among the soldiers in Bingzhou.
However, it still cannot enter the eyes of those people!
Gongsun Zhu had heard of some of these "friends" and some had just heard of them, but no matter what, he was very grateful to these people.
This is a friendship forged over several years of fighting desperately on the battlefield.
However, here, he still couldn't see the hope of the big man.
In the first year of Guanghe, Gongsun Zhu was seriously injured again and was rescued from the enemy's siege by the joint efforts of Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, but he still chose to give up everything now.
The scar on his face was not long, but it was particularly ferocious. Not only did it make him look extra strong, it also made him completely cut off from his future career.
The official of the Han Dynasty pays great attention to appearance and appearance!
Gongsun Zhu didn't feel the slightest regret about the fact that he could not continue his official career. For him, if he could exchange his official career for these very good friends.
Gongsun Zhu felt...it was really worth it.
The seriously injured Gongsun Zhu finally returned to his hometown again, with fatigue and scars all over his body, and a letter from Liu Bei to him.
"Azhu, I'm going to be a father!"
