Chen Gong appeared suddenly.
Rang Lü Bu and Gao Shun looked as if they were facing a great enemy.
Especially since Chen Gong was dressed in a brocade robe with a long sword. One look and one could tell that he was not an ordinary person.
"Who am I?"
Chen Gong turned to look at Lu Bu and said with a faint smile,""Who is General? Ding Yuan's registrar, Dong Zhuo's foster son, or the middle general of the Darkhan Dynasty, or a stray dog that can't even return to the Nine Plains!”
"Bastard!"
Lu Bu was furious.
He swung his halberd horizontally, wanting to kill Chen Gong here.
Chen Gong was not afraid of the incoming halberd. He bowed his head and said indifferently,""In this chaotic world, do you only want to be someone else's subordinate?”
"Boom!"
The halberd stopped when it was an inch away from Chen Gong.
However, the fierce wind smashed over and tore his hair crown.
"Who are you?"
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Chen Gong walked over to Lu Bu and looked in the direction of Bingzhou, saying in a deep voice,""Gongsun Changping is the number one overlord of the Central Plains. He has taken control of the Hebei, Qing, and You Provinces and even killed Liu Yu, a member of the Han royal family. He can be said to be the number one person in troubled times. However, General has killed so many lords. Do you think this person can tolerate you?”
"Perhaps, I will!"
Lu Bu frowned nervously.
"Haha!"
Chen Gong said in disappointment," General, you have the strength to fight against ten thousand people. You are known as the number one general in the world. You have sought refuge with so many people, but you have ended up like this. Has General never thought of occupying a province and becoming the lord of others?”
"This…!"
Lu Bu was shocked.
Chen Gong continued," Back then, Zhang Yide, a Yan man, scolded you as a servant of the three families at Tiger Cage Pass. Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun all regarded you as a dog that could be commanded. Did you really not have any thoughts of making a comeback?"”
"Don't say anymore!"
Lu Bu threw the Heavenly Halberd aside and roared.
"Who exactly are you?"
Gao Shun held the hilt of his sword and angrily rebuked.
"Hey!"
"It's a pity that he's so brave!"
"A few days ago, news came from Bing Province that Lord Ye Manor had already taken back Shangdang!”
"Gongsun Jing has also brought his main army into Taiyuan and Jinyang. He has even split his forces to go to Xihe. Shangjun is preparing to expel the Hu Krupp. He is the savior of Bingzhou and the guardian of the people. He should be called a great hero!”
"But what about you? Could he return to Bingzhou?
"Back then, Ding Yuan brought 100,000 wolf cavalry into the court. Now, some of them have died and some have scattered. Only a few hundred defeated soldiers are left. How are you going to explain to your fellow villagers in Bing Province when you go back?”
Chen Gong's words were like knives, slashing at the hearts of Lu Bu and Gao Shun.
"Enough!"
Zhang Liao walked over from afar and scolded angrily,"Our defeat is not something that can be changed by human strength. How can there be an undefeated general in the world? Even someone as strong as Gongsun Changping was ambushed and killed by Yuan Shao back then, and Gongsun Yue died beside him.”
"Hah!"
"Haha!"
" Haha!" Chen Gong laughed." The commander of the Wolf Cavalry of Bingzhou, who suppressed the cavalry of Youzhou and the cavalry of Western Liang, is actually so weak. He can't even face his own past. It seems that you are indeed not suitable to become a feudal force in this chaotic world!"”
Lu Bu reached out his hand and pinched Chen Gong's neck. He said ferociously,""I forbid you to mention the words 'Wolf Riders of Bingzhou' again!”
"Is that all?"
Chen Gong's eyes were filled with disappointment.
He had thought that Lu Bu would become a mighty lord, but it seemed that he was only so-so.
In a chaotic world, since he could not assist a wise ruler and build achievements, there was no difference between dying early or late!
Lu Bu threw Chen Gong aside and suppressed the anger in his heart. He said coldly,""Who are you? What are you doing here?”
"Worship!"
Chen Gong's lips curled into a smile as he said nonchalantly,""Old General Lu is buried beside Wen Ling. I came to Luoyang to pay my respects to him. As for meeting you, it was a coincidence. If you are willing to establish your foundation, I am willing to help you.”
"What's your name?"
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and asked.
Chen Gong straightened his clothes and said solemnly,"Chen Gong!"
"Chen Wentai?"
Lu Bu's eyes widened.
When he was ordered to pursue Cao Mengde, he lost track of him in Zhongmou.
Later, it was said that the county magistrate had arrested him and imprisoned him. However, when Lu Bu entered the city, he found that the county magistrate of Zhongmu had disappeared with Cao Cao. The county magistrate of Zhongmu was called Chen Gong.
"It's me!"
Chen Gong's eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
Lu Bu laughed wantonly and said,"So it's you. You were the one who saved Cao Cao!"”
"Not bad!"
Chen Gong's gaze was calm.
Lu Bu's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he said,""What else do you want to say? If there's nothing else, go back to Yanzhou!”
"Cao Cao has nothing to do with me now!”
"If General wants to build a foundation in this chaotic world, then I am willing to help. If General wants to return to Bingzhou and be despised by others, then I will not accompany you!”Chen Gong held his sword and walked into the distance!
Lu Bu struggled for a moment before finally letting go of his pride. He said hoarsely,""Please teach me!"
"General!"
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao shouted at the same time!
"Pa da!"
Chen Gong stopped in the distance.
"Please teach me how to establish a foundation in a chaotic world!" Lu Bu bowed slightly.”
"Yanzhou!"
Chen Gong turned around and said," Cao Mengde's main force is attacking Xuzhou. Now, the entire Yanzhou is empty. Zhang Miao and the others have an old grudge with Cao Cao. If you really want to survive in this chaotic world, taking Yanzhou is the best!”
"We have no soldiers and no food!" Lu Bu frowned.”
"No need!"
Chen Gong walked up to Lu Bu again and said in a deep voice,""If General is willing, I can go to Yanzhou to persuade Zhang Miao and the others to elect you as the herdsman of Yanzhou. As long as we take down Yanzhou, General will have a foothold in this chaotic world!”
"Good!"
Lu Bu nodded.
Gao Shun's eyes were filled with disappointment as he said,"General, we agreed to return to Bingzhou!"”
"I don't want to go back!"
"I don't want to go back in such a sorry state!”
Lu Bu's eyes were filled with struggle as he looked in the direction of the Bing Province.
"But!"
Gao Shun said stubbornly," But Gongsun Changping issued the order to kill the Hu people. All the righteous men in the world are heading to the Ye Marquis Mansion to leave their names and participate in the war. As the border guards of Bing Province, we have left Bing Province to the foreign tribes for three years. Does General really not want to go back?"”
"I'm not going back!"
Lu Bu said resolutely.
Gao Shun looked at Zhang Liao and said,"Wenyuan, are you going back to Yanmen?"”
"I…!"
Zhang Liao looked at Gao Shun and then at Lu Bu.
Bingzhou was just around the corner.
After crossing the river, they would reach Shangdang, which was only a few days 'journey.
However, it was just a few days 'journey, and it seemed like it would take forever. He could not return to Bingzhou, which he had been thinking about day and night.
Thinking back to the past.
Ding Yuan led the army to take an oath.
As the commandant of Yanmen, he led the border guards into the court.
Today, could he return to Yanmen without anyone by his side?
Would he really dare to face those elders who handed their children to him and hoped that he would guard the border?
"Are you going back?"
Gao Shun asked again.
"I can't face the elders of Yanmen!" Zhang Liao said bitterly.”
"Are you guys going back?"
Gao Shun turned his head and shouted at the hundreds of defeated soldiers behind him.
"I'll go back!"
"I want to go back too!"
"I'm not going back. I don't even have a home anymore…!”
The hundreds of soldiers made their own choices and stood behind Lu Bu.
There were 80 people who chose to go back. All of them looked in the direction of Bing Province with anticipation.
"General!"
Gao Shun gritted his teeth as he looked at Lu Bu and bowed solemnly.""General, I've been taking care of you all these years. If I didn't kill Hu Ling and Gongsun Changping didn't recover Bing Province, I wouldn't have returned. However, if Bing Province can be recovered, my home is right in front of me. I want to return to Shuofang to take a look!”
"You can go!"
Lu Bu turned around and jumped onto Red Rabbit. He raised his Heavenly Halberd and turned to look elsewhere, saying hoarsely,""Lu Fengxian has let you down. Back then, we agreed to share wealth with you. Now that we've parted ways, I hope that we won't meet on the battlefield in the future.”
"Farewell, General!"
Gao Shun and the eighty soldiers bowed.
Lu Bu pulled on the reins of his horse and galloped, shouting,""To Yanzhou!"
"Farewell!"
Zhang Liao sighed.
Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Zhang Liao left.
Gao Shun packed up his battle saber, climbed onto his warhorse, and said,""When we return home, we will also expel the Hu Krupp and recover Bing Province. How did we lose Bing Province back then? How did we follow Gongsun Changping and fight him back? We have already lost Bing Province once. We definitely can't lose it again!”
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
Eighty riders mounted their horses.
He stepped into Hanoi valiantly and headed towards Bingzhou.
Just as Gao Shun said, they had already lost to Bing Province once, they absolutely could not lose to it a second time.
Back then, they had followed Lu Bu out of Chang 'an just to return to Bingzhou and take a look at their home, which they didn't even know existed.
After several days of traveling.
Gao Shun returned to Shangdang and stepped into the garrison territory with a nervous expression.
At this moment, countless craftsmen and commoners were busy building cities and building new houses. There were also people in a hurry farming in the fertile fields.
He was stationed at the gate.
A patrol stopped Gao Shun's group with a vigilant gaze. His gaze swept across everyone's weapons and frowned as he said,""Where are you from? You don't have the armor and flags of the sixth battalion of the Ye Marquis Manor. If you are a righteous warrior who went to Bing Province to attack the foreign tribes, do you have the document issued by the Ye Marquis Manor's soldier?”
"W-document?"
Gao Shun touched his entire body.
With a wave of his hand, dozens of people gathered around them, holding the ring-head sabers at their waists.
"I don't have a document!"
Gao Shun explained with a bitter expression.
A commoner walked over, his eyes filled with anger as he said,""General, this old man recognizes their armor!”
"Old man, do you know him?"
The inspector's eyes lit up.
The old man nodded, pointed at Gao Shun, and shouted angrily,""They are wearing the armor of the border guards of Bing Province. Back then, we saved money to pay taxes and personally handed over our children to the border guards to protect the border.”
"Yes!"
Gao Shun lowered his head, not daring to look at the old man.
The eighty riders all looked elsewhere in shame.
However, they crowded in front of the city gate. As more and more people gathered, the curses and instructions they gave them became more and more unpleasant.
"Disperse!"
Du Xi said as he walked out of the city.
"Governor Du!"
Immediately, the surrounding commoners said respectfully.
Du Xi nodded slightly and said," My fellow villagers, they are just soldiers. They have to listen to the orders of the general. It is meaningless for you to scold them. Now that the lord has issued the order to kill Hu, they have mustered up great courage to return!”
"Yes, sir!"
The old man said respectfully," This old man will disperse the villagers now. I hope that Lord Ye can lead the army to drive out all the foreign barbarians as soon as possible and reclaim our Bing Province!"”
"Definitely!"
Du Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Follow me!"
Du Xi glanced at Gao Shun and said in a deep voice.
"Here!"
Gao Shun led the eighty wolf cavalry into Tunliu City.
Du Xi waved his hand at the craftsmen who were watching the show and said in a deep voice,"I'm the Ye Marquis's residence's Don't Drive, temporarily Shangdang's prefect. I wonder what position General once held in the Bing Province border guards!”
"Commandant!"
Gao Shun looked at Du Xi and asked worriedly,"How is Shuofang?"”
"Shuofang?"
Du Xi's expression changed slightly, and he said helplessly,""All nine counties of Bingzhou have fallen. Shangdang used to have 120,000 people, but when we recovered it, it was less than 60,000. As for Shuofang, it might be even less. My lord's army has already reached Jinyang. I estimate that they will encounter Fu Luohan of Xianbei and Su Puyan of Wuhuan this month!”
"Su Puyan!"
Gao Shun's eyes turned cold.
"Not bad!"
Du Xi said in a deep voice," Don't blame the people of Bing Province. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. They once placed all their hopes on you, but you abandoned them, a group of defenseless people, under the iron hooves of the non-humankind!”
Gao Shun sighed," How can I blame them? The sins of our 100,000 Bing Prefecture soldiers will be atoned for with death!"”
"It's hard to redeem!"
Du Xi stopped and looked at the people who were gradually dispersing at the city gate. He seemed to have understood something." I finally understand why General Gongsun was besieged by Liu Yu and sent his second young master to Ye City for help, but he was unwilling to recall the army guarding the northern border of Youzhou. They were shouldering the hopes of hundreds of thousands, if not millions of people!”
"Du Biejia!"
"What documents do righteous men from Bingzhou need?" Gao Shun asked with a complicated expression.”
"Ever since lord issued the order to kill Hu, thousands of righteous men have already rushed to Lord Ye's manor!”
"But the lord had already commanded his troops on the second day of the second month, so the soldier officer issued a document for them!”
"Righteous men can use the document to change their armor in the cities we recaptured, receive rations, and even use the heads of the three Donghu clans to record their achievements!”
"After we recover Bing Province, the lord will use these records to reward us according to our achievements. If we don't have a document and a record of Bing Province's household registration, we won't be able to enter every city we recover!”Du Xi explained!
Gao Shun bowed and said solemnly," I'll have to trouble you to record our household registration. We're going to Jinyang to meet Lord Ye!"”
"Of course!"
Du Xi nodded and said in a deep voice," There are armor, weapons, clothes, provisions, and warhorses in the camp. You can prepare all of them and head to Jinyang. There is also a blank flag. You can write your number on it. This way, the army will recognize you. Don't be killed by your own people!”
"Thank you so much!"
Gao Shun and the eighty wolf riders bowed.
