Super Cultivation System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 445: Great Gao Shun
Unexpectedly, Gao Shun agreed immediately.

"Gao will go there in person."

When he said this, everyone on both sides was stunned.

"General Gao, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can you take risks yourself?"

Gao Shun looked at Liu Bei, still expressionless, but his tone was unusually firm.

"The commander-in-chief of the three armies is Liu Bei, not Gao Shun."

Liu Bei's tone paused, and then his voice became bitter.

"That being said, if you fail, how can I be worthy of the general?"

Gao Shun shook his head: "They can't do anything to me."

Liu Bei stared into his eyes for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly.

"It seems that Bei can't persuade the general."

Zhang Fei shouted, "General Gao, I used to think you were a capable general, but now I know you are a real hero. If you come back, I will definitely have a drink with you!"

Gao Shun saluted him in return and rode his horse forward two steps.

"I, Gao Shun, am traveling alone. Is this allowed, or... not allowed?"

As soon as he uttered the word "not allowed", the Anmin Army soldiers around him took a step forward in unison. The sound of thousands of footsteps landing in unison immediately created a huge wave in the hearts of Zhang Yang and Lu Bu.

Zhang Yang swallowed. Looking at the situation before him, he had no doubt that if he said "no", Gao Shun would directly order an attack.

In their eyes, the Zhao family was important, but it was someone else's life after all. For Gao Shun and Liu Bei, if all the people in the family died, they would at most be scolded and punished. But Zhang Yang was different. If he lost the bet, he would lose his life.

He looked at Gao Shun with an expressionless face and hesitated again and again, but unexpectedly Gao Shun became impatient.

"Count down to three, if you don't allow me, I will attack!"

"three!"

Zhang Yang was dumbfounded. He had clearly threatened them just now, so how could he be threatened in the same way so soon? Who was holding the hostages now?
"two!"

Gao Shun's voice was so powerful that it brought Zhang Yang back to reality from his surprise.

"one……"

"I agree, I agree!"

Zhang Yang shouted out hurriedly, fearing that Gao Shun would finish shouting the word "one".

Gao Shun's hand gesture, which had been half raised, slowly fell down.

Zhang Yang watched him put his hand back on the horse's back, then he breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.

"Mad men, all of Liu He's men are crazy. Gao Shun seems to be sane, but he is even crazier than the man riding the tiger! Since he volunteered to die this time, we can take this opportunity to kill him and cut off Liu He's arm!"

Zhang Yang made up his mind and looked at Gao Shun again without any fear.

"Okay, this general is magnanimous, so I will allow you to go alone. When we reach Huguan, I will release you and the others together."

"General Gao, you can't..."

Zhao Ying was about to shout to stop them, but one of Zhang Yang's personal soldiers beside her blocked her mouth.

Gao Shun rode his horse to Zhao Yu's side, dismounted, and patted Zhao Yu on the shoulder.

Tears welled up in Zhao Yu's eyes, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't speak. He could only nod solemnly in response.

Liu Bei sighed, then shouted at the city gate: "Open the city gate!"

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

The city gate slowly opened, and all the soldiers lined up on both sides, staring at Gao Shun with eyes full of respect.

"General Gao, please take care..."

Liu Bei and Zhang Fei bowed to him and said goodbye.

After Gao Shun returned the greeting, he looked at Zhang Yang.

"They want a carriage."

Zhang Yang was a little angry: "Gao, don't push your luck!"

Gao Shun's face darkened when he heard this: "If you don't agree, attack!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Anmin Army that had just put away their stances began to attack again.

"You..." Zhang Yang was angry but dared not say anything, feeling extremely aggrieved.

The deputy general came over and said, "General, forget it. Just give them a few carriages. What's the big deal? After leaving Huguan, we will have to..."

After hearing this, Zhang Yang nodded in agreement.

He already had more than a dozen carriages this time, which were used to transport the things he had looted and some property he had obtained from the Zhao Mansion. He freed up three carriages for Zhao Yu and others.

Gao Shun then waved his hand and ordered the surrounding security troops to retreat.

"Can you leave this time?"

Gao Shun nodded, mounted his warhorse, and walked straight out of the city without looking around, as if he was the one in charge of this march.

Zhang Yang was so angry that he almost exploded. He secretly hated in his heart: "Gao Shun... I will let you be proud for a while! When we get out of Huguan, I will tear you into pieces!"

He waved to his several hundred personal soldiers, and they slowly walked out of the city gate and headed towards the east of the city.

"Brother, are you really going to let them go like this without sending a team of troops to follow them?"

Liu Bei looked ahead and said, "Of course we have to follow, but not too many people. You personally select ten smart men to follow far behind and report back any situation. Remember, do not act rashly unless it is absolutely necessary, otherwise the lives of General Gao and the Zhao family will be in danger."

"Don't worry, big brother. I'll do it right away."

Zhang Fei took the order and ran away, leaving Liu Bei alone, staring blankly outside the city, somewhat dazed.

"Liu He, Liu He... What kind of charm do you have that you can make General Gao Shun, a genius in the world, so devoted to you? Alas, I, Liu Bei, can't compare to you. I am a member of the Han royal family. After giving birth to Liu Bei, why did I have another Liu He? Could it be that God's will is not on my side after all..."

He looked at Gao Shun's back, muttered a few words to himself, and then sighed.

It was about a hundred miles from Changzi City to Huguan. Gao Shun followed Zhang Yang's army all the way without saying a word. He rode his horse alone and guarded the carriage carrying Zhao Yu and Zhao Ying, father and daughter. He occasionally asked the soldiers for water, and was polite and courteous.

Zhang Yang and Lu Bu were wary of him at first, but seeing that he did not behave abnormally, they gradually became relieved.

"Don't worry, big brother. I have known Bo Ping for many years, and I know his martial arts very well. Although I have a leg injury now, it is not easy to deal with a fierce general like Zhang Fei, but it is not difficult to deal with Gao Shun. Even if he makes trouble, it is not worth mentioning."

Lu Bu spoke with great confidence. Zhang Yang was relieved to see that although he walked with a limp, he seemed to be fine when riding a horse.

"With Fengxian here, I can rest assured."

"By the way, where are you going, brother?"

When Zhang Yang saw Lu Bu asking the question, he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Well, my dear brother, you are not an outsider, so I should tell you. After we leave Huguan, we will walk another 200 miles and enter the territory of Jizhou. My dear brother, think about it, are there any heroes in Jizhou who are worthy of you and me to join us?"

Lu Bu frowned, thought about it, and then shook his head.

"There are not many heroes in the world, and I can't imagine the land of Jizhou."

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "How could you have forgotten, my dear brother? When we, the 20 lords of the garrison, went to fight against Dong, who was the leader?"

Lu Bu was stunned.

"Brother, are you talking about Yuan Shao or Yuan Benchu?"

"Yes, it is this person!"

Lu Bu nodded slightly and said, "Well... this person has a distinguished family background and extraordinary strength. When we went to fight Dong Zhuo, only he and Liu He could lead an army of 50,000, which shows his strength. But if we go there rashly, will he accept us?"

"Hahaha, my dear brother, although your martial arts are rare in the world, you are still lacking in strategy."

Lu Bu felt unhappy when he noticed that there was a hint of sarcasm in Zhang Yang's laughter.

"If you dislike it, I will leave now."

After saying that, he clasped his fists and was about to walk away.

"Hey, my dear brother, you misunderstood. How could I have such an intention? In terms of ability, my dear brother is far superior to you. Not long ago, General Yuan mentioned my brother in his secret letter about surrendering. To be honest, you were able to escape from prison and regain your freedom thanks to General Yuan's advice."

"Oh? Really?" Lu Bu was a little surprised.

"Of course it is. Otherwise, how could such a secure place like that be flooded?"

Lu Bu was delighted and said: "General Yuan is truly a hero of the time. I will personally thank you when I meet you in the future."

"That Liu He is despicable and shameless. He used his inferiors to deceive Luoyang and monopolize the government. He is even worse than the former thief Dong. General Yuan has long intended to rebel against him, but he is weak and alone, so he has sent a secret letter to me early on. Now that you and I have gone to join him, his power will surely increase greatly. And to be honest with you, Lord Yuan has long intended to annex the entire Jizhou. Jizhou is a large state in the world. By then, he will have hundreds of thousands of troops and will be able to counterattack Luoyang in no time. You and I are both important and heroic officials."

Zhang Yang's words made Lu Bu extremely excited.

"I will never forget the friendship of my brother and the kindness of Mr. Yuan!"

"Haha, no problem..."
