Especially Lü Bu, this time Jinyang was defeated and Bing Province was recovered. After such great achievements, Grand General's position will definitely be gone.
Do you still need to take the credit for wiping out the Rebel remnant party?
Chen Gong has followed Lü Bu for many years and has already seen the reason for his dispute with Zhang Liao. He laughed softly and said, "Not returning home in rich clothes is like walking at night in rich clothes."
Sima Yi heard this and suddenly realized.
The hometowns of Zhang Liao and Lü Bu are both Wuyuan Commandery. This time they are going to pursue Enemy Army and recover Wuyuan Commandery. They both want to take the opportunity to return home in glory.
No, they are no longer returning to their hometowns in fine clothes, but are returning to honor their ancestors.
"I shouldn't have mentioned recovering Wuyuan Commandery."
Sima Yi sighed helplessly.
The two of them were fighting over each other. Lü Bu became anxious first and slapped Zhang Liao hard on the shoulder, shouting, "Stop talking nonsense! Let's find a place to practice. If you can beat me, I'll let you go!"
"Thief Lü Bu! Shameless!" Zhang Liao also got angry and cursed, not to be outdone. "Apart from beating and killing, what else will you do? If you have the ability, let's discuss the art of war!"
"And you are now Duke Wen plus Grand Commandant. Aren't you beautiful enough? What's wrong with letting me go back to my hometown and enjoy the scenery once?"
Lü Bu glared and said, "If I say no, I can't! This time I will order Wuyuan Commandery. No one can stop me except Your Majesty. That's what I said!"
"You are Deputy General, and I am the commander-in-chief! As the commander-in-chief, I order you to stay and take charge Three Armies, how dare you disobey military orders!"
"You--!" Zhang Liao was furious. Lü Bu is so shameless. In order to compete for the opportunity to return to his hometown, he would even use Official Post to suppress others!
The previous Lü Bu was not like this at all.
"Hmph!"
Seeing that Zhang Liao did not dare to reply, Lü Bu couldn't help but look proud, turned around and shouted to all the Bing Province Wolf Cavalrys, "Young men! Return with my general's clothes... No, follow my general to pursue Enemy Army!"
"Drive--!"
Lü Bu pinched Red Hare's horse's belly and walked away laughing. A group of Wolf Riderss also followed behind with strange screams, and the sky was filled with flying snow.
When Zhang Liao saw this scene, he was jealous and angry, but he could only curse and take over the command and continue to direct the army to attack Jinyang City.
Only Huang Zhong is left messy in the wind.
A bitter look on his face.
What a credit to him.
At his age, he doesn't know how many years he has to live, and when will he be able to achieve great success.
After Gao Gan and Guo Yuan left Jinyang City, they headed north without daring to stop for a moment, for fear that Enemy Army would catch up behind them.
"General, are we going to Wuyuan Commandery?"
Guo Yuan was riding a horse while panting and asked, "Wuyuan Commandery is very far away, why don't you go to Yanmen Commandery? With Yanmen Pass's risk, we will definitely be able to stop Enemy Army!"
Compared with Wuyuan Commandery, which is far away on the border of Bing Province, Yanmen Commandery is undoubtedly closer and more suitable for their garrison.
Gao Gan had a weathered look on his face and said after hearing this, "Staying in Bing Province means sitting back and waiting for death. How long do you think we can hold on to Yanmen Pass with just a few people like us?"
"Now the only way we can have a chance to make a comeback is to escape from the border and go to Wuhuan!"
Wuhuan has been making moves outside the customs, and his ambition is not dead. Tian Feng contacted Wuhuan last time, and will join forces with Wuhuan to attack Hebei next spring.
But with the death of Tian Feng, the burning of bridges by Ma Chao, and the loss of Bing Province, these plans have all come to nothing.
Thinking of this, Gao Gan couldn't help but sigh in his heart and asked, "How many troops do we have left now?"
Although he left Jinyang City with 5,000 troops, many of them chose to leave the team along the way, obviously not wanting to continue following him.
"More than a thousand people escaped, and less than four thousand remained."
Guo Yuan gives a number.
Gao Gan's heart sank. He had just left Jinyang City. He had left more than a thousand people not long ago. How much would he have left after he escaped from the border?
Nowadays, the morale of the army is low. Although he knows it well, he has no choice but to hope that he can keep as many people as possible.
"Don't worry, keep on going!"
Lü Bu led three thousand Bing Province Wolf Cavalry and followed the escape trail of Gao Gan and others. Along the way, they encountered many Soldiers who had broken away from Gao Gan's team.
These Soldiers surrendered immediately after seeing them, and even took the initiative to point them in the direction in which Gao Gan and others could escape.
And Lü Bu did not kill them, but just asked them to return to Jinyang, and then continued to lead Cavalry in pursuit.
However, after several days of chasing, it suddenly started snowing, and he lost track of the Enemy Army.
"Those guys won't really go to Grasslands, right?"
Lü Bu felt a little confused.
Grasslands is so big. If Gao Gan and his group really escaped into Grasslands, where should they look for him?
Then his boast about Haikou would become a joke. He didn't even have to think about it. Zhang Liao would definitely laugh at him severely when the time came. The key was that he couldn't refute it. After all, he was the one who forced the troops to pursue him.
"General, what should we do now?"
Cheng Lian and Wei Yue saw Lü Bu stop, so they gathered around on horseback. They were both Wolf Riders's most talented generals, and Lü Bu's Imperial Guard.
Lü Bu frowned and asked Wei Yue: "How far is it from Wuyuan Commandery now?"
Wei Yue replied, "There are still more than four hundred miles to go."
Lü Bu coughed lightly when he heard this and said seriously, "We have two important tasks this time. One is to pursue Enemy Army, and the other is to recover Wuyuan Commandery."
"No!"
Cheng Lian and Wei Yue both clasped their fists.
Then a group of Cavalry, led by Lü Bu, headed straight for Wuyuan Commandery. Even the wind and snow could not stop their steps.
Although Wuyuan Commandery is an important border defense area, it does not receive much attention because it is located on the border. The population is only over 200,000.
The administrative office is at Jiuyuan County.
It took Lü Bu and his party less than two days to arrive outside Jiuyuan County. When the defenders on City Wall saw the mighty and majestic armored three thousand Iron Cavalry, they were so frightened that they quickly closed City Gate.
After Wuyuan Commandery Governor learned the news, he quickly went to City Wall to check the situation, and asked tremblingly, "Whose army are you?"
In a small place like theirs, we usually see Xiongnu Cavalry at most, and the Cavalry in front of us looks like Weapons and Equipment, which is Elite Troops in Elite Troops.
How could such an army come here?
Lü Bu rode forward and coldly snorted, "I am Grand Commandant, Duke Wen Lü Bu! This time I am here to recover Wuyuan Commandery!"
"Where is Wuyuan Commandery Governor? Come out quickly to welcome Royal Army into the city!"
Wuyuan Commandery Governor immediately changed his face when he heard this, and felt his heartbeat slowing down by half a beat. He wondered if he had heard wrongly.
Duke Wen Lü Bu?!
He took a closer look at Outside the City's Banner, and sure enough, there were a lot of names written on it in black letters on a white background, "Grand Commandant, General of Agile Cavalry, Duke Wen" and so on.
The word "LV" among them is particularly eye-catching!
Although Wuyuan Commandery Governor lives in the border area all year round, the news is not blocked. Naturally, he has heard of the name Lü Bu, so he feels Shock.
This is truly a big shot!
Still a big shot from them!
After confirming the identity of Lü Bu, Wuyuan Commandery Governor did not dare to neglect and quickly ordered, "Hurry! Open City Gate quickly!"
Soon, Jiuyuan County's City Gate opened wide.
Wuyuan Commandery Governor personally led all the officials in the city out of the city to greet him. When he came to Lü Bu's horse, he saluted respectfully and said, "I don't know that Duke Wen led Royal Army to come to Wuyuan Commandery. If he fails to welcome you from afar, please don't blame Duke Wen."
At this time Wuyuan Commandery Governor was feeling extremely nervous.
After all, Lü Bu has a bad reputation, and now he is in a high position, and even more favored by Son of Heaven. He, a little prefect, is really not enough in front of this Duke Wen.
The key is that Lü Bu still represents Son of Heaven, which is Imperial Court!
Looking at Wuyuan Commandery Governor who wanted to bend his waist to the ground in front of him, and the many officials who were shivering, Lü Bu felt quite emotional in his heart.
I think back then he was just a small ranger in Wuyuan Commandery, let alone a county guard. Even the officials under the county guard were unattainable big shots to him.
But now that times have changed and he has become famous, let alone the governor of a county, even the state pastor needs to treat him respectfully when he sees him.
"Everyone, get up." Lü Bu put away the emotion in his heart and said with an air of dignity, "My father's troops and horses need to rest and recuperate. Is there enough Grain and Fodder in the county?"
How could Wuyuan Commandery Governor dare to say no? He nodded repeatedly and said, "Enough, enough! I will order people to prepare food and horse feed for you Soldiers."
"Duke Wen has come from afar. If you don't mind, can you please give me a favor and let Prefect's Residence sit down? I'll let you entertain Duke Wen and fulfill your duty as a county guard."
Wuyuan Commandery Governor carefully considered his words and spoke carefully. He was afraid of making Lü Bu unhappy.
But little did he know that his words played right into Lü Bu's hands.
Lü Bu nodded calmly and said calmly, "Jiuyuan County is my father's hometown. Since you are here this time, let's go in and have a look."
After saying this, he turned to the three thousand Iron Cavalry behind him and said, "Everyone Soldiers, listen to the order! Follow me into the city to rest, and do not disturb the people along the way!"
"Violators will be punished by military law!"
Three thousand Iron Cavalry responded in unison, "No--!"
The sound was sonorous like the collision of iron and stone.
This uniform response and the momentum of the clash of gold and armor made Wuyuan Commandery Governor and all the officials shrink in fear.
What kind of Elite Troops army is this?
"Enter the city!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Lü Bu's eyes, and he squeezed Reins's hand involuntarily.
Then he, accompanied by Wuyuan Commandery Governor and officials, led three thousand Iron Cavalry through the City Gate cave and entered Jiuyuan County.
The so-called timidity of being close to home.
Lü Bu After entering the city, he looked at the familiar streets, buildings, and people on the streets, and felt quite nervous.
Even though he has been in the military for many years, he feels that he has not fully adapted to his current noble status. In essence, he still seems to be the Wuyuan ranger.
And his arrival also attracted the attention of many people on the street.
