[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

Gongsun Zan and his son were imprisoned for three full days.

During the period, apart from the servants who delivered food came a few times, no one else came, as if they were just forgotten in the corner.

Gongsun Zan couldn't accept this gap for a while, but when Li Che sent someone to take him there, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, he specially asked to wear a full cloak, even if he was going to die, he didn't want to lose his final dignity.

Satisfied, Gongsun Zan, who was wearing a full set of armor, walked out of the cell with his head held high. Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun, who were locked in the same cell, saw him off silently.

Li Che who saw Gongsun Zan was also silent for a moment.

Gongsun Zan refused to kneel down, and it was indeed difficult to kneel down while wearing a cloak on his body, so Li Che acquiesced in allowing him to stand at the head, but...

Li Che asked puzzledly: "It's hot in June, and General Gongsun is dressed like this, isn't it hot?"

Gongsun Zan suspected that he had heard it wrong, but he was here to die, so he didn't care about it. He held his head up and said loudly, "I have fought all my life, and I don't want to end up in the hands of a little thing like you. I don't have his words." , I just want to die quickly!"

Li Che waved his hand, bowed his head and signed a silk official document, and then said: "General Gongsun, once you've settled everything, don't care about the affairs behind you? The little general has not yet reached the crown, and his wife and two girls at home can't ask me to raise him. The general is only a year old." At forty, why do you want to take off your burden and entrap others?"

Gongsun Zan's eyes widened, and he scolded sharply: "Smart words! Since I am self-reliant, how can I surrender to you, a common man, not to mention that I am no longer a general of the Han Dynasty, what name do you use to recruit this old man? Could it be that Li Lang is famous for occupying the land of the four states?" Emperor's Heart?"

Li Che thought for a while and said, "General Gongsun, after taking Jizhou and Youzhou, I will rule the land of six states."

Thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, this is almost halfway.

Subconsciously, Gongsun Zan really didn't take into account the land that belonged to him. After such a calculation, his throat suddenly choked, and he was so distressed that he could hardly breathe.

Li Che asked someone to pour him a cup of tea, but Gongsun Zan didn't appreciate it at all. He raised his hand and overturned the tea, and said angrily, "I, Gongsun Zan, have fallen to the point where I can't even ask for death?"

Li Che shook his head and said: "If the general is over half a hundred years old and no longer has the strength to fight, he will die if he wants to die. I will not stop him, but now the Central Plains is raging, and the foreigners from all over the world are watching from afar. If Cao Cao succeeds, the national power will inevitably decline. I have lived in the Central Plains for a long time, and I can't even tell the number of Hu people, so I want to save the life of General Gongsun for the people of the world."

Gongsun Zan was slightly taken aback.

Li Che sighed: "As soon as the white horse arrived, he heard the news and fled. General Gongsun has guarded the northern border for many years and was deeply loved by the people. Could it be that he can die like this and stop caring about the people?"

Gongsun Zan was known as the White Horse General in the past, and later he formed the White Horse Righteous Cong. Three thousand elite light cavalry smashed the courage of the Hulu, and the people in the north called him the reborn champion. welcome.

Without this prestige, it would be very difficult for him to gain a foothold among the heroes of the world as a general and win the hearts of the people.

However, in the past few years when the world was fighting for hegemony, he no longer fought. Whenever there was a war, there were always counselors who advised him to cherish his life, and countless people taught him how to be a good lord. dusty.

Gongsun Zan's eyes filled with tears, but when he wiped away his tears, Li Che lowered his head at some point and continued to review the official documents.

Is this your attitude of saving my life for the people of the world?

Gongsun Zan was so angry that his beard was raised, and he yelled loudly, "Sweet talk! Sweet talk! You don't value me at all! You..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Che wrote the last stroke, raised his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "It seems that General Gongsun has figured it out."

At first, Gongsun Zan was dazzled by such a friendly and good-looking smile, and his voice stuck in his throat. When he realized it, his old face blushed immediately, and he became angry from embarrassment: "I didn't figure it out!"

Li Che waved his hand and said, "Even if the general didn't figure it out, the northern border is now taken over by General Taishi, and General Gongsun will concentrate on training troops from now on. In addition, the remaining Baima Yicong will be brought back by General Gongsun. Assign it to General Gongsun, and from now on, we will assign [-] recruits to the general for training every year, what does the general think?"

It was expected that Tai Shici would take over Northern Xinjiang. Gongsun Zan didn't think that he would be able to lead his troops back to Youzhou if he surrendered. Even a fool would not be able to do such a thing. To rule the land, the best treatment he originally thought about was to be sent into the army to be a miscellaneous general without troops.

More importantly, Baima Yicong.

Gongsun Zan was silent for a while, then said, "Many of my gang died, right? They're all bloody good men, they..."

Li Che said: "Not many died. I heard that General Gongsun was captured. These people voluntarily laid down their weapons."

Gongsun Zan was so choked that his heart ached for a moment, and he waited for a while before leaving.

Li Che ordered people to return Gongsun Zan's family to him that day, and a few days later, Gongsun Zan and his family went to Yingchuan to serve as the county guard, accompanied by three thousand white horses.

It was also after Gongsun Zan left that Sun Ce always felt that he had forgotten something, but after more than ten days, he suddenly remembered and went to find Li Che.

There is still Zhao Yun locked up in the prison.

Zhao Yun was about the same age as Sun Ce, but he was already a well-known military general under Gongsun Zan. He was most famous for his victories in every battle. Except for this time when he was caught by mistake, he had no defeats. Although most of them were small battles, Sun Ce This is the only thing he values, he thinks Zhao Yun is a lucky general, even if he doesn't use it, it's auspicious to be in the army.

Li Che asked Sun Ce to take him back.

The day Zhao Yun was released from prison was at the end of summer, and the sky turned red within a short distance. Zhao Yun raised his head and saw the sky full of clouds. He let out a long breath and followed Sun Ce into the barracks.

Although it cannot be put on the bright side, there are indeed different camps in the military camp.

Sun Ce and a group of generals from the Sun family, such as Huang Gai and Han Dang, formed their own battalion. Because they came early and commanded a large number of soldiers, this was also the most powerful faction in Li Che's army.

Then came Tai Shici, Tai Shici did not form a party, but he had a lot of military power, and several lieutenants were also quite powerful, so he became the second largest force.

The weakest side is the group of people who came to join Li Che after he captured Yuzhou and Yanzhou. Headed by Zhang He, most of them were surrendered generals. Recently, another group of water thieves came to vote. The leader was Gan Ning, who was quite close to Zhang He. Speculative, then merged into this group.

Zhao Yun was brought into the camp by Sun Ce himself, so he naturally became a member of Sun Ce.

The division of these forces does not seem obvious, and even Sun Ce only mentioned it once, but Zhao Yun is a careful person. When he was under Gongsun Zan, the newcomers and the old were constantly fighting, and he was caught in the middle of a half-new and not-old young general. It's really hard to be a man without relying on two sides. This time with Li Che is only the second time he has turned to power.

With the previous experience, Zhao Yun decided to act cautiously, even if he couldn't integrate into it, at least he wouldn't offend the general.

On the surface, the atmosphere in the army couldn't be better. The general Tai Shici and Sun Ce are close, and they are called brothers. Sun Ce's family members are loyal and united. Dude, he only knows how to do things with his head down, and he doesn't mean to pick things up at all.

Zhao Yun knew that things should not be seen from the surface, but should be dug deeper. First of all, Sun Ce was from a noble family, while Tai Shici was not as good as Sun Ce, and most of the lieutenants around him were from civilian backgrounds. There is also a layer of contradictions between them. One army is divided into three factions, which are not visible at ordinary times, but will suffer in wartime. If he wants to settle down with Sun Ce, he cannot get too close to Tai Shici and Zhang Xi's people.

Zhao Yun has been here for more than a month, and he gets along very well with Sun Bu's people.

Although Tai Shici was a little surprised that this rather indifferent young man was not the same person as Sun Ce's righteous and generous Yuntian Zhao Zilong, he was always loyal and didn't want to gossip behind others' backs, so he didn't say a word.

Zhang He is a surrendered general, just as Zhao Yun thought, in an embarrassing period, he can only keep his head down and do things without saying a word. On the contrary, it is the newcomer Gan Ning. , he treated people like he did, and after being treated coldly a few times, he also became angry and stopped talking to Zhao Yun.

The barracks looked huge, but the circle of generals was actually very small. The contradiction between the two was quickly discovered. Sun Ce was very puzzled. He knew that Zhao Yun's character was cautious, and he rarely treated people badly. Such a clear contradiction...here There must be something!

Sun Ce found a free time and took Zhao Yun to a restaurant in the city for a drink.

In troubled times, the people were displaced, and a place like Xuzhou was nothing more than a restaurant. Except for the soldiers, few people came here. After a few drinks, Sun Ce began to consciously cliché.

It's a pity that Zhao Yun's alcohol capacity is very good.

He is also a very cautious person. Although he didn't understand why Sun Ce wanted to trick him, he still cautiously did not express any views.

Sun Ce couldn't speak, so he decided to persuade him to drink.

Then he persuaded himself to get drunk.

Sun Ce slumped on the table, not knowing what was going on, and even started snoring.

When Zhao Yun remembered that Sun Ce was asking him to drink, the hand that wanted to pay paused, took out the wine money from Sun Ce's arms and paid the bill, then carried him out of the restaurant.

Not far away, someone suddenly raised a whip to clear the way.

At this time, there are no special lanes in many places, and many people do not know how to avoid carriages, so some people come up with a way to let servants carry whips to clear the way. Although it is a bit crazy, it also avoids hurting pedestrians.

Zhao Yun lived in northern Xinjiang for a long time, and he didn't realize it for a while. He felt dusty on his face, and then he thought of stepping aside.

Li Che was half lying in the car, looked at Li Ning who was riding a horse in front through the gap in the curtain, and couldn't help but sighed deeply, envious of her joy.

Spring sleep is just right, summer is exhausting, autumn is sleepy, and winter sleeps, this is the true meaning of life, but when you come to her, you have to go out in the green in spring, sunbathe in summer, appreciate fallen leaves in autumn, and step on the snow in winter. There is no one who does not want to go out in all seasons.
