"Stay back this way, don't get close to the horse!"
"Come over here!"
……
Then a female general wearing a golden phoenix mask came to Liu Zhaoqing on horseback, and then she reached out and pulled him onto the horse behind her.
Then, with her cavalry leading the way, the female general quickly left the crowd.
The horse stopped only when it reached the remote corner of Yecheng and no longer saw the crowd behind it.
Liu Zhaoqing also dismounted.
"Thank you, General Zhang He." Liu Zhaoqing bowed to Zhang He.
The one who came to rescue him was Han Fu's general, who was praised as one of the Four Pillars of Hebei in his previous life.
Zhang He bowed in return, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Please, Marquis Changping, don't... do this again."
"Not only is it dangerous for the Marquis of Changping, but it is also dangerous for the people of Yecheng to gather together so suddenly."
Liu Zhaoqing accepted this suggestion, and he nodded shyly: "I understand. This is my first time out, and I forgot the consequences. This kind of thing will not happen again next time."
Seeing Liu Zhaoqing's good attitude, Zhang He also breathed a sigh of relief.
If Liu Zhaoqing was a domineering person and insisted on doing such a thing, Zhang He would actually have no way to stop him.
Liu Zhaoqing's current momentum in Yecheng is that he can do whatever he wants and no one can stop him, so Zhang He was risking his anger in giving him advice.
Fortunately, Liu Zhaoqing's character is trustworthy.
"Marquis Changping suddenly went out. Is he going to do some important business?" Zhang He asked proactively.
Liu Zhaoqing did not hide it and said, "It's nothing serious. I just want to go find Gao Shun."
"She should be next to Xun Yu. If Xun Yu is now, which official office in Yecheng should he be in?" Liu Zhaoqing was not sure where Xun Yu was. He should have asked earlier.
But to his delight, Zhang He just happened to know where Xun Yu was.
"When I was leading the patrol before, I looked up and saw Miss Xun and Gao Shun on the city wall. Now they are on the city tower. If things go as expected, they should be inspecting the city defenses." After Zhang He finished speaking, he didn't need Liu Zhaoqing to say anything more and took the initiative to speak again.
"Marquis Changping, please get on your horse. I will take you there."
After Liu Zhaoqing thanked him, he got on Zhang He's horse.
Amid the sound of horse hooves and flying dust, Liu Zhaoqing soon arrived at the city wall, without passers-by being able to see that the Liu Zhaoqing on the horse was Liu Zhaoqing.
After quickly climbing up the city wall, Liu Zhaoqing saw Xun Yu and Gao Shun next to the armory room on the city wall.
Surprisingly, Xun Yu was not the one leading the inspection, but stood next to Gao Shun, who spoke seriously and earnestly about the problems to the clerk next to him.
"The bowstring of this type of bow is not strong enough, and the arrow also has problems. The unstable fall will greatly reduce the ability to kill the enemy."
"During a battle, the towers are usually full of enemy troops, and the way to transmit signals is to use war drums or other things to communicate. But, you see, the war drum here is broken, and the sound it makes can't even cover the sound of the bowstring, so how can we talk about communication?"
"Also, your deployment of weapons is not rational. Why are there so many archers on the city wall, but so few spearmen and swordmen? Once the enemy climbs the tower, won't all these archers be slaughtered one-sidedly?"
……
While Gao Shun was speaking, Liu Zhaoqing had already arrived behind the two of them.
Xun Yu was the first to sense Liu Zhaoqing, so he turned around and bowed slightly to Liu Zhaoqing.
Her courtesy made Gao Shun realize that Liu Zhaoqing was coming. After turning around, she hesitated for a moment, but finally greeted Liu Zhaoqing with a bow, the simplest way of greeting.
Of course, Liu Zhaoqing didn't have so many etiquette requirements and nodded to both of them.
"I didn't expect Wen Ruo would become a 'hands-off boss'." Liu Zhaoqing joked.
Xun Yu also smiled: "Zhao Qing said: Leave professional matters to professionals."
"General Gao Shun is naturally the most professional when it comes to examining these things, so there will be no problem if I hand it over to General Gao Shun."
"Oh?" Liu Zhaoqing looked at Gao Shun, "Gao Shun also knows these?"
Gao Shun bowed his head at the right time and said, "When I was in Bingzhou, I was a clerk in charge of the armory, so I know a thing or two about these things."
"I just listened to your analysis. You can't say you know a little bit. It should be said you have mastered it thoroughly." Liu Zhaoqing said with a smile.
Then he did not deliberately ask Gao Shun and Xun Yu to put down their work, but followed them. After they finished inspecting the military equipment on this side of the city wall, he let the two of them go to the soldiers' rest area to rest.
Liu Zhaoqing looked at Gao Shun, but Gao Shun didn't say anything either.
The two men just stood beside the tent where soldiers kept coming and going, and neither of them spoke first.
"I'll go over there and take a look. If there's anything, find me there." Xun Yu tactfully left temporarily.
Although Xun Yu's departure made Gao Shun feel even more at a loss, she also understood that she would have to face Liu Zhaoqing eventually.
Liu Zhaoqing didn't know why he felt like he was interrogating a student who had made a mistake.
The strange feeling might lead him to misjudgment, so he tried hard to get rid of this confusing illusion.
"General Gao Shun, how do you feel about our army these days?" Liu Zhaoqing took the initiative to ask about family matters. In the past, Gao Shun would definitely not respond to such meaningless questions.
"Do you want me to tell you the truth?" Gao Shun asked now.
Liu Zhaoqing was amused. How could someone ask such a direct question?
But this is pretty good.
Liu Zhaoqing nodded: "It must be done."
Gao Shun pondered for a moment and said, "When I was led by you at first, I just felt humiliated."
"As a general being manipulated by the enemy, unable to escape or even kill myself, I just wanted you to get into trouble soon...but."
"Later, I discovered that you and your followers were somewhat different from the others."
"From the generals in white armor and white horses to the soldiers holding long spears, each of your troops has a blazing light in their eyes."
"I am not unfamiliar with this light. When I was fighting against the ferocious beasts and the Hu people in the north of Bingzhou, my colleagues also saw the same light in their eyes."
"They are people with convictions. Later, I also learned that their convictions... are you."
"You are trusted by both the Han and the Hu people. Although you are the mortal enemy of Jizhou Mu, you did not massacre the people when you entered their city, nor did you kill Han Fu's men. Moreover, your men's attitude towards me has become the same because of your existence."
Gao Shun said, his tone heavy and with a hint of surprise: "This is a group of generals I have never seen, and I have never seen any princes, but I can feel that you have the same things as me."
Liu Zhaoqing smiled. Gao Shun was indeed bold enough to say that. But it was precisely because of this that Liu Zhaoqing felt more at ease.
"What do you think that thing is? Belief?" Liu Zhaoqing asked.
Gao Shun was silent for a moment, then spoke: "It should be, but it could also be 'warrior'."
"Even Cao Cao's troops have inexperienced people, but in your troops, I have never seen cowardice, let alone fleeing. This... makes me feel like I am seeing my own Xianzhen Camp."
"That only means that our training methods should be similar." Liu Zhaoqing smiled.
She had fought briefly with the Xianzhen Camp, and those black-armored soldiers did leave a deep impression on her.
It was their high-quality cooperation, coupled with Gao Shun's natural ability to command the army, that made Liu Zhaoqing feel threatened and he had to get rid of it.
Gao Shun nodded slightly. She also realized that her training methods were very similar to those of Liu Zhaoqing's subordinates.
At this point, Liu Zhaoqing could have extended an olive branch, but Liu Zhaoqing noticed that Gao Shun seemed to have other concerns in his mind.
After thinking for a while, Liu Zhaoqing asked, "General Gao Shun, what do you think about working under me, helping me train the Yellow Turban Army, and leading my Yellow Turban Army in the charge?"
Gao Shun fell silent again, then he bowed and said, "Thank you, Marquis Changping, for your kindness, but part of the Xianzhen Camp is still in Luoyang, and I don't want to abandon them."
This was equivalent to a polite refusal. Gao Shun did not completely give up the past just because he had worked under Liu Zhaoqing for a while.
But this answer not only did not make Liu Zhaoqing frown, but made him nod slightly.
He finally knew the secret of the powerful black-armored soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp.
Gao Shun treated her personal soldiers like brothers, which is why they were willing to risk their lives for her.
This has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages have been mentioned above, and the disadvantages are also obvious at a glance, which will affect your judgment.
But Liu Zhaoqing did not need Gao Shun to immediately change her judgment and her own ideas.
Liu Zhaoqing had plenty of time and patience for Gao Shun.
"I can promise you, but you know I can't let you go." Liu Zhaoqing said.
Gao Shun is different from the other captives. If we let her go, when she comes back next time, she might be accompanied by tens of thousands of soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp.
No one can bear this, so Gao Shun cannot let it go no matter what.
Gao Shun also understood this logic, so after Liu Zhaoqing finished speaking, she thought about it and agreed to Liu Zhaoqing's promise.
In other words: Gao Shun himself is still with Liu Zhaoqing. If he really meets the old members of the Xianzhen Camp in the future, they can discuss other things.
It seems like completely unequal conditions for Gao Shun, but think about it, the identities of the two parties making the promises are completely different from their current relationship.
Liu Zhaoqing had any reason to refuse to agree to any request from the prisoner Gao Shun.
But he still agreed.
This verbal promise might be just a casual remark by others, but it sounded different when it came from Liu Zhaoqing's mouth.
Gao Shun believed that Liu Zhaoqing would fulfill his promise.
Liu Zhaoqing would indeed fulfill his promise, but the prerequisite was that Gao Shun could find his old subordinates in the Xianzhen Camp.
According to Dong Zhuo's character and the crisis he is facing, he will definitely use all the strength he can at this moment.
Even if the remaining Xianzhen Camp did not have Gao Shun's gift of command, they were still soldiers of extremely high quality, and it was basically a foregone conclusion that they would be captured as able-bodied men.
It is very likely that with the capture of Gao Shun, the Xianzhen Camp was also banned or disbanded.
But Liu Zhaoqing also knew that Gao Shun was definitely the type of person who would not cry until he saw the coffin.
Only when she sees the truth with her own eyes will she give up completely.
During this period, she would serve as an inspector for Liu Zhaoqing, or help Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun train soldiers as assistants.
Even if I can't use the Trap Camp, I can accept it if the enemy can't use it either.
Liu Zhaoqing then found Zhang He and asked her to take him away.
When Xun Yu saw Liu Zhaoqing leaving, he returned to Gao Shun from not far away.
Because Gao Shun had fought side by side with Xun Yu in the battle to pursue Dong Zhuo's army in the dense forest, Xun Yu could be regarded as a rare and close friend of the introverted Gao Shun in Liu Zhaoqing's camp.
"What did Zhao Qing say to you?" Xun Yu asked Gao Shun.
Soldiers were coming and going around her, and from time to time some of them would glance at her. They were just curious like Xun Yu, curious about what General Tian Gong had said to her.
Gao Shun looked at the place where Liu Zhaoqing had left and disappeared, and answered Xun Yu's question.
That is to say, it simply talks about the content of Liu Zhaoqing's communication with him.
After listening to this, Xun Yu was surprised for a moment, then smiled.
"He is the only one in the world who can agree to this request."
"Gao Shun, your luck is actually pretty good."
Gao Shun was speechless about this, because what Xun Yu said was indeed true.
----
Liu Zhaoqing didn’t know whether Gao Shun was lucky or not, but what she knew was that she had to find an opportunity to meet Sister Xuande now.
Before heading to the center of the anti-Dong coalition at Hulao Pass, he had to figure out how he was cured by Liu Bei.
Otherwise, when you get there, you may not have time to do these things.
Because Liu Bei lived in the same county residence with Liu Zhaoqing, Zhang He only needed to send Liu Zhaoqing to the county residence and then leave.
After dismounting, Liu Zhaoqing expressed his gratitude to Zhang He, who shook his head to indicate that it was nothing and then returned the greeting.
After returning to the county residence, Liu Zhaoqing saw his daughter again.
I don’t know why, but my daughter seemed a little flustered every time she saw me today.
After asking her about the specific address of Liu Bei's room, Liu Zhaoqing asked her to go into an empty room with him and then closed the door.
"Girl, there must be some misunderstanding between us." Liu Zhaoqing said helplessly.
"It's not what you think..."
In his eyes, the reason why his daughter behaved like this was because she misunderstood Liu Zhaoqing.
But in fact, these were not misunderstandings, and my daughter now knew the whole story.
