Chapter 224 Gao Shun Joins
"General Gao! I never thought that General Gao would come to help in this time of crisis. I am deeply impressed! But I don't know why the soldiers under General Gao's command..."

Liu He looked at the only two or three thousand people left behind Gao Shun.

Gao Shun also understood what he meant and said, "It's hard to explain. I am no longer a member of the Bingzhou camp, and these are not soldiers under the governor's command."

Liu He was a little puzzled and didn't know what was going on. Just as he was about to ask, Zhu Ye ran over.

"Oh, don't ask, big brother. General Gao came all the way to help us. Now that the war is over, we should return the favor and thank him properly."

Cheng Liang teased, "Old Fifth, I think your thank you to General Gao is fake. You are really hungry, right?"

"Nonsense, Third Brother, please stop slandering me... I... I didn't..."

Zhu Ye's words and actions immediately amused everyone who had been very solemn.

Everyone seemed to be reborn after a calamity. Just now, including Liu He, everyone felt that they might not be able to escape this calamity. Now that the clouds have cleared and the moon is visible, everyone is in a particularly good mood.

"Come on, General Gao, follow me to Yanmen Pass. Let's have a good chat today and discuss all military affairs tomorrow!"

Gao Shun originally intended to join Liu He, so seeing him so enthusiastic, he was naturally very happy.

"Okay, let's go!"

Yinguan City has been completely emptied, and everyone has moved to several cities south of Yanmen Pass to prepare for the winter. All the supplies in Liu He's army have also been moved to the Yanmen Pass early on.

Everyone washed up, changed their clothes, and soon after, a banquet was set up in a mansion inside the pass.

"During wartime, the food is rough and simple. Please don't blame me, General."

Liu He raised the wine bottle and toasted Gao Shun.

Gao Shun also hurriedly picked it up: "Captain Liu, I appreciate your kindness. How dare I indulge in wine and meat when the barbarians have not yet been defeated?"

The two drank it all in one gulp, as if they were close friends and felt sorry for having met each other too late.

"I wonder what the general means by saying that he is no longer serving in the Bingzhou camp?"

Gao Shun sighed softly.

"I wanted to lead the army to fight against the Xianbei, but the governor did not allow it, so I said something against him. Wang Chen used this as an excuse to fan the flames, and the governor got angry, so he expelled me from the camp and stripped me of my military power."

"Damn it, it's Wang Chen again! This guy is such a piece of shit!"

Cheng Liang slammed the table. When he heard this name, he was so angry that he couldn't even eat.

"There is no need to worry about Wang Chen, who pretends to obey orders but secretly seeks revenge for personal gain. But I did not expect that the governor, who rose from humble beginnings and fought his way to where he is today through military merit, could be deceived by that fellow. It is truly lamentable."

Liu He was indeed a little surprised by this. After all, according to the history he had learned in his previous life, Ding Yuan could be regarded as a model of serving the country and loving the country in the late Han Dynasty, but he did not expect that he also had such a flaw.

Gao Shun said, "Your Excellency the Governor also has difficulties, and I have no complaints. It's just that I have nowhere to go now, so I came to General Liu and hope he would take me in."

"General Gao, you are too kind to me! You and I have the same rank, both of us are commanders of a county, why would you take me in? General Gao is both wise and brave, a rare talent for a great general, but now he is being framed by a villain. You and I are not weak, we have one heart and one mind, and together we will protect the northern border of the Han Dynasty. As long as we can drive the Xianbei out of the Han territory and recover the lost territory, with such great contributions, you will have the opportunity to be reused in the future."

Liu He looked at Gao Shun with his eyes and spoke sincerely, and Gao Shun was somewhat moved.

"I wish to follow you, with the same heart and mind!"

The two held hands tightly. "System prompts, the host has obtained the support of the historical general Gao Shun. According to his original peak attributes in history, the host has obtained 51 points."

Liu He was in a good mood when he heard the system prompt sound.

"By the way, what's the matter with these people brought by General Gao?"

Gao Shun sat down again, clasped his fists and said, "After leaving the Bingzhou camp, I wanted to come to you immediately, but my mother passed away, so I took her remains to my hometown in Wuyuan for burial. On the way back, I accidentally rescued a group of people who were captured as slaves by the Xianbei."

"So that's how it is." Liu He suddenly realized.

At this time, Cheng Liang shouted: "Hey, General Gao, who is the young man with a long spear you brought? He is young, but his martial arts skills are quite impressive."

Gao Shun looked over and said, "This man's surname is Dai, his given name is Le, and his courtesy name is Yunzhen. He is the orphan of the governor of Yunzhong County, Lord Dai, who died in battle last year."

When Cheng Liang heard this, his eyes lit up.

"This child is quite my type. How about teaching me how to train him?"

Gao Shun looked at him, then at Liu He, and said, "It will be fine as long as General Liu agrees."

Liu He smiled and said, "Third brother, you are kind to me, which is a good thing. But I think this boy is very brave and seems to have excellent riding skills. It would be a waste of his talent to send him to my Divine Tiger Cavalry. How about this, third brother will teach him in the next few days, and when the war comes, let him serve as a cavalryman under Yun Chang's tent and charge into battle."

Cheng Liang nodded repeatedly, and Guan Yu also stood up to thank Liu He.

Liu He has checked Dai Le's attributes. Now at the age of 79, he has 90 points of martial arts. Although he is not as good as Zhang Liao, who is only years old, as long as he is well trained, he will be able to become a brave general with more than points of basic martial arts in the future.

Liu He thought about it and realized that he now had dozens of generals at all levels under his command. According to the rules of the system, as long as these people were promoted and trained by him and truly submitted to him, their achievements would be counted into his points.

I now have 1222 points. After just going through such a bloody battle, we should settle down and there will definitely be a small explosion in our attributes during daily training.

In addition, many tasks should have been completed. Adding up all these points should be enough to make him a small points tycoon again. With the points, Liu He has an infinite sense of security and great confidence to face the real Xianbei tribe.

"I don't know when the Xianbei will come back again. Although I have many talented people and a strong army, it is not easy to confront them head-on with my current strength, let alone take the initiative to drive them out. It seems that I should send three people back to Langtiao County to retreat in the Jingsi Tower for the third time. In addition, I should think about how to deal with this large-scale cavalry."

Just as Liu He was thinking this, this celebration banquet, which also served as a welcoming party for Gao Shun, ended in a joyful atmosphere.

In this battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the post-war statistics and settlement work took a full three days.

After this battle, more than 11,000 Xianbei soldiers were killed and more than 4,500 surviving war horses were captured. It can be said that the results of the battle were fruitful.

However, the Anmin Army also lost more than 13,000 soldiers in the battle, and more than 10,000 were seriously injured. At least half of them will suffer a certain degree of disability and will have to retire. This means that the Yanmen garrison was directly reduced from 85,000 to about 68,000.

Among the remaining soldiers, those who had experienced this battle all suffered minor injuries, including Liu He, Guan Yu and others. No one was intact.

The fighting situation of this battle was the most brutal one Liu He had ever seen since he started suppressing bandits in Huangshui Township over the years. Hearing about it made Liu He feel like his heart was being cut by a knife.

However, despite this, no one in the entire army had any complaints. On the contrary, everyone who participated in this battle was filled with a sense of honor.

As a citizen of the Han Dynasty, being able to personally participate in the battle against the Xianbei, and even ultimately winning the victory and successfully repelling the Xianbei army, this sense of pride made every soldier feel extremely satisfied.

Liu He personally visited the injured soldiers with Guan Yu and others, and then came to a small meeting hall inside Yanmen Pass.
