"Xuande, do you really not want to go with me?
If you can get some credit this time... you can also take the opportunity to become an official. "
In the school grounds outside the city of Zhuo County, the capital of Zhuo County, Gongsun Zhu, who had just returned to his hometown, once again put on the armor given to him by Gongsun Zan, and received a horse branch given to him by Gongsun Zan.
It was a "magic weapon" that Bingzhou had not touched for several years of fighting. He could feel the sharpness on the horse's shaft.
Gongsun Zhu still inevitably felt a little agitated in his heart...
In front of Gongsun Zhu was Liu Xuande, who was smiling and shaking his head.
Not long ago, they came to Gongsun Zan, and during their visit, they received an invitation from Gongsun Zan.
"I heard from Xuande's people yesterday that you have a scar on your face. If I find a way to recommend Xiaolian to you, you will be kicked off because of your appearance even without the next imperial examination.
On the contrary, the current chaos in the border areas, the annexation of Xianbei, and the bandits and Qiang barbarians in Yongliang are all good opportunities for me, a good man, to make contributions.
This time Zan can lead his troops to Liangzhou, and you can temporarily follow him as Yi Cong.
If you get credit in this process, uncle, I can also get you the rewards you deserve! "
It can be seen that although Gongsun Zan has no good feelings towards Gongsun Zhuping, he still cares about this friend and clan member.
Compared to Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan who were beside Gongsun Zan, although Gongsun Zhu was younger than them, he still got a lot.
Liu Bei was also very happy about this kind of thing. He brought Gongsun Zhu today to give him a good background.
But Gongsun Zhu did not refuse this kindness under the persuasion of Liu Bei and Gongsun Zan, but Liu Bei refused.
Facing Gongsun Zan's extended hand, he shook his head firmly for the second time.
"Bei understands that it will take a lot of effort to get ahead by relying solely on one's own abilities, but Bei still wants to go ahead on his own.
In addition, there are many people around Bei who are like brothers, and they all have their own affairs at home.
If Bei was asked to abandon them... Bei probably wouldn't be able to do it.
Brother Bogui's kindness was appreciated, but he could only say sorry. "
Seeing Liu Bei's resolute attitude, Gongsun Zan didn't say much. He just said goodbye to him and then immediately rushed in the other direction with a wave of his hand.
"Walk!"
At this moment, three thousand soldiers and horses rushed directly to kill. Three thousand fine cavalry, together with one person and two cavalry under their crotch, this majestic force actually gave the illusion of thousands of horses galloping out.
And here, Gongsun Zhu also felt something different.
"The soldiers in Youzhou may not be as brave as Bingzhou, but... they are even more powerful!"
Gongsun Zhu, who had been fighting in Bingzhou for several years, was absolutely qualified to say this, and Gongsun Zan did not ask too many questions.
He simply told Gongsun Zhu what to do next on the road.
"Now the imperial court is disturbed by Han Sui, Bian Zhang and the two men in the northwest, so it has no choice but to order Youzhou to recruit soldiers and horses. Three thousand elite cavalry, plus soldiers and horses from various places, go to the northwest to quell the rebellion.
This time, although the imperial court did not immediately order a certain family to be a general, it also asked a certain family to lead three thousand fine cavalry to wait for the arrival of Sikong Zhang Wen and join him.
Zhang Sikong also wrote to a certain family asking about the dispatch of troops.
If nothing else happens, you will have to follow me to the northwest to fight.
My uncle also heard what Xuande said about what happened in Bingzhou before. Although you have no merit, you are not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
It's just that there are some problems with the overall situation in Bingzhou, which prevents you from being promoted or appointed even though you have some merit.
But this time is different. The battlefield in the northwest is huge, and this time my big men are almost out in force. As long as we fight steadily, we can definitely make the opponent die without a place to die.
When that time comes, a certain family will definitely report your merits to you. I dare not say anything else. At the very least, it will be no problem for you to serve as a county captain after this battle. "
Before reaching the land of Ji Zhong, Gongsun Zan had already begun to talk about the wonderful future to his eldest nephew.
Facing Gongsun Zan's many heroic words, Gongsun Zhu just smiled. He didn't say much, and he wasn't prepared to agree to anything.
He came here just to kill the enemy!
I want to see if the frontier army in Youzhou is different from the frontier army in Bingzhou.
Regarding Gongsun Zhu's silence, Gongsun Fan and Gongsun Yue, who were also uncles, looked disdainful. They both followed Gongsun Zan when he was the governor of Liaodong.
I don't have a good impression of Gongsun Zhu at all. I even think this person is a bit arrogant, and I don't know where the arrogance comes from.
Gongsun Zhu knew this very well, but he had no intention of explaining it. He just continued to follow the army forward with a smile on his face.
"Report~"
Just when Gongsun Zan was about to lead his army to Ji Zhong, a shrill roar suddenly came from the calm front.
Immediately after, a knight with blood on his body came galloping on horseback, and there were several trembling arrows stuck in his body.
Before he could get close to the army, he was directly stopped by the scouts in front. At the same time, after confirming that it was the Han army, he also left a letter soaked in blood.
Then he fell directly to the ground and stopped breathing.
Looking at the blood letter handed over by the scout, Gongsun Zan's face became a little gloomy.
Several tribesmen around him and General Yi Cong also looked gloomy. Although they didn't know what the silk book said, it was definitely not a good thing.
"This is the news from Zou Jing, the Lieutenant of Polu and the Lieutenant of the Northern Army!" Gongsun Zan closed the letter directly and showed no intention of letting anyone else read it.
At the same time, he briefly talked about the contents of the letter.
"Zou Jing, the lieutenant of Polu and the Zhonghou of the Northern Army, is responsible for patrolling inside and outside Youzhou and monitoring the movements of Wuhuan and Xianbei in Youzhou.
Originally, everything was going well in Youzhou, and we had dispatched a lot of troops and horses to prepare to go west.
But Zou Polu was worried that there would be a problem, so he decided to make another inspection. As expected... he found something wrong with the Wuhuan people's movements!
Before he could continue his exploration, the Wuhuan people had been alerted, and then..."
"Did something happen to Zou Polu?"
"It's not an accident, but we are indeed surrounded!" Gongsun Zan's face was gloomy, and then he directly raised the horse in his hand and shouted angrily at the soldiers behind him.
"Soldiers, change the route and follow my general... to rescue people!"
