Chapter 123 Jinyang
After the firehead soldier left, Wen Han did a stretching exercise first, and the bones all over his body were crackling. After feeling more comfortable, Wen Han finished eating quietly for breakfast. Xu Huang came in and told Wen Han that the soldiers and horses that had been handed over from the callway had arrived. At the same time, he also told Wen Han that the soldiers and horses had also stopped and could leave at any time.
Wen Han nodded and asked Xu Huang to wait for him for a while. Wen Han went back to his room to quickly change his armor, and then ordered several soldiers waiting outside the door of the room to come to his room to tidy up the rest of the clothes for him. Then he returned to the council chamber and went out of the mansion with Xu Huang. After leaving the mansion, his mount was already taken by a soldier to wait. Wen Han affectionately wiped the horse's head and turned over. Xu Huang also rode a good horse, and the two ran to the gate together.
The general who came to hand over the soldiers and horses was Cao Shi under Lv Bu's command. This Cao's bow is extraordinary. He can open a five-stone bow and wear Yang in a hundred steps. He is one of the eight generals later set up by Lv Bu.
And according to historical records, in a battle between Cao Cao and Lv Bu, Cao Feng participated in the battle as Gao Shun's general. When Gao Shun was chased by Xiahou, he shot Xiahou Dun's left eye with a cold arrow, but was also stabbed to death by the angry Xiahou Dun. But Xiahou Dun has also lost an eye forever.
From this, it can be seen that this person is a master of shooting cold arrows, and even Xiahou Dun, a rare tiger in the world, was shot off one eye. Therefore, Wen Han did not dare to underestimate this person. He treated him politely and completed the handover process step by step. Cao He had a relationship with Wen Han when Lv Bu planned to attack the river, and almost became a life-and-death enemy. However, Wen Han and Lv Bu agreed later, which saved a battle of self-injury and maimed by Han generals.
But even so, in this Shuofang County, Wen Han's achievements in killing nearly 50,000 Qiang Hu people in this Shuofang County can't help but make Cao Xing in awe. He was also polite to Wen Han, and like the people of Shuofang, he called him the literary champion to show his respect.
However, later, he saw Gao Shun in Wen Han's army and was a little embarrassed, because before Gao Shun defected to Wen Han, Gao Shun was an officer of Cao's. Cao's nature also respected Gao Shun. Gao Shun's first-hand training ability and his generous and heroic spirit were worshipped by many people, and Cao's nature was one of them. Gao Shun saw that Cao Shi was not like Cao Shi. He was embarrassed, but it was still that dull expression. He also nodded to Cao Shi and said hello.
Three hours later, the handover of Linhe City was completed. Wen Han's army of 7,000 people was rectified and ready to go. At this time, a lot of people came outside Linhe City. These people knew that Wen Han was ready to leave, and they all took out a lot of supplies from their homes in a hurry. They gave the fortress to Wen Han, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, Gao Shun and other generals and the soldiers in their army. He also put on an attitude of not taking it away. Wen Han had no choice but to make the whole army take over, and the people simply laughed. I don't know how many people, groups of people, have been sending Wenhan's army two miles away from the city before they are willing to go back.
Cao sex and his soldiers and horses under his command saw this scene in their eyes, and they all sighed and envied in their hearts. The expressions of these people are sincere, sincere and grateful to the Wenhan army. Unlike in the past, when the people meet other soldiers, most of the people will show fear, nervousness and fear of being deprived.
"Perhaps because the position of these people in the heart of the literary champion is different. Therefore, on the other, in the hearts of these people, the position of the literary champion is also different.
Cao Cheng said inexplicably, and then led his men to slowly leave the gate of Linhe.
The river is far away from Jinyang, one in the west and one in the east. If you ride a horse, it will take eight or nine days to travel. However, Wen Han and others have been a month late, and they don't care much about these eight or nine days. The most important thing is that we need to know some inside stories from Ding Yuan, so that we can deal with the cold arrows that will come when we go back to Luoyang in time.
As for Pei Yuanshao, who was left behind in Xiudu, because some handovers were not completed, it took a lot of time to go back and forth, so Wen Han ordered him to go back to Xie County first, in case there was a case of emergency in Luoyang in the future, which would implicate Zhou Long and his wife and He Shuang in Xie County.
On the way back, Xu Huang and Gao Shun took the initiative to suggest to Wen Han that both of them were infantry and their feet were slow. Let Wen Han and Guan Yu go first, and then they will come. Indeed, as Xu Huang and Gao Shun said, the speed difference between cavalry and infantry is too far, although Xu Huang and Gao Shun's subordinates are all well-trained soldiers with excellent physical quality.
But compared with the black wind, there is a bigger gap than ordinary cavalry and infantry. The Black Wind Rider was originally the elite among the elite, and there was a saddle of the horse, and he had just returned from Qianghu. These black winds rode in the guerrilla battle of the Qianghu grassland, and ran for many kilometers. Proficiency in equestrianism is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Therefore, along the way, even if they are determined to wait for the soldiers and horses of Xu Huang and Gao Shun, they often unconsciously throw away from them.
Seeing that Xu Huang and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were out of breath and gasping, Wen Han accepted their proposal. In this way, the black wind can let go and run. When Xu Huang and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were still resting in a forest, they had already rested and left quickly with a black whirlwind.
After half a year in Qianghu, the black wind riding has long been used to riding horses, because at that time, he had also tried several times to be chased by 7,000 or 8,000 Qianghu people, sometimes running for a day and a night. Therefore, Wen Han and Guan Yu rode with the black wind and rarely rested. It took less than five days to run all the way to Jinyang.
Jinyang City is about 4,500 meters long, with an east-to-north orientation and an area of about 20 square kilometers. Jinyang, as the capital of Bingzhou, is a large city that can accommodate 300,000 people.
In Jinyang City, there are long streets, wide roads and prosperous people, and there are many hawking stalls. On both sides of the street are crowded and bustling, with many shops and customers coming and going, and a group of bustling people unfolding in front of their eyes. A cart of vegetables and grain led by cattle shuttles through the streets, and there are also small carts pushed by people. For a while, there will be luxury carriages with nobles passing by. At this time, it was noon, and the sun was poisonous, but the street was still full of people. Some Yashi sat on the roof of the teahouse on one side, tasting tea, and chanted a few words when they were interested.
This lively scene of glory, in the eyes of Wen Han, did not stir up a trace of shaking. He shook his head, which was in sharp contrast to ten miles outside the city. It is surrounded by people who have lost their souls and are begging from passers-by. Some men are even selling their wives and daughters.
The scene at that time reminded Wen Han of what he saw outside Luoyang City at the beginning of a year and a half ago. The more prosperous the city, the more people there were nearby. There is no other reason, because the more prosperous the city is, the richer the people are. Most of these exiles have unsteady dreams. They hope that when these rich people pass by, they will suddenly be kind and change their lives as soon as they take action. I completely forgot that it is these people who are either rich or noble who have exploited their lives to today's miserable situation.
Although Wen Han couldn't bear it, he also remembered that when he was outside Luoyang City, he killed a lot of people because he rescued a lot of people. So all the way, he only let the black wind riders leave their rations, and did not let these exiles chase them, and soon rode away. Sure enough, some exiles followed, but the black wind rode so fast that they chased after it for a long time and gave up.
The general at the head of Jinyang City saw Wenhan, a cavalry of about 3,000 people, coming and stopped them. Wen Han reported his identity. When Jin Yang Shou heard Wen Han's name, he immediately thought of the name of Wen Champion. He was shocked and quickly led dozens of soldiers down to greet him.
After Wen Han wrote a document with his identity and gave it to the general for confirmation, the general asked someone to inform the assassin while personally introducing Wenhan's soldiers and horses into the city. Take it all the way to the school barracks to rest. Wen Han and Guan Yu settled the black wind according to the arrangement of the general.
At this time, the soldiers sent by Jin Yang Shou to inform him also came back, saying that the assassin had a request. After a while, Wen Han changed a clean green silk robe and followed the soldier. As for Guan Yu, he was not included in this invitation, so he didn't follow the past. Wen Han walked for a while, meditating his face, looking at the bustling scene of the street all the way and thinking about things all the way. Unconsciously, the soldier who led the way stopped.
Wen Han looked up and looked directly at a red vermilion-painted gate with a black golden silk nanmu plaque hanging at the top, on which was inscribed with three big characters 'The Assassin'. Only then did I know that I had come to Ding Yuan's mansion. Ding Yuan had already ordered the guardian of the door. If Wen Han came here, he did not need to inform him to enter directly.
It's just that the person leading the way has changed to another person, who is about 60 years old, but he has a hidden explosive power all over his body. At a glance, he knows that his skills are not low. The old housekeeper's face darkened, as if he were a person who was not very talkative, leading the way. Wen Han followed the old housekeeper all the way through the corridor paved with red sandalwood. Suddenly, he came to a place. In front of him was a beaded white wall, about two meters high, covered with black tiles. The head of the wall was built into a high and low waves, and a hole was given to pass by. The old housekeeper gave Wen Han a look and made him wait here. Wen Han bent down and saluted to show his understanding. The old housekeeper nodded and then left lightly.
Not long after entering. It was not the old housekeeper who came from the mouth of the cave, but Dingyuan, the assassin of Bingzhou. Ding Yuan was wearing a precious gold silk black tiger pattern costume. His body and bones were bigger than that of ordinary middle-aged young people. The fast-up muscles seemed to burst out of the clothes.
"Hahaha. Champion, you can keep me waiting for a long time. Well, don't make amends for that courtesy. You are very good, hahaha, very good! A month ago, I was sent a message. Seeing that you were quite arrogant and late in the future, I asked some people under my command to inquire about it. Only then did I know that there were many Han people gathered in front of the river. This investigation scared the people sent by me. He hurried back to report to the old man.
Only then did I know that you dare to break into the Qianghu with less than 3,000 troops! Moreover, the results are good, and there are also a lot of Han slaves who suffered in Qianghu. If you are really a young hero, I'm afraid you will have a great reputation as a champion. Sooner or later, it will spread all over the big man. There is a big reason why you are late! At the banquet later, I will definitely talk to me about the process of Qiang Hu's wandering!"
Ding Yuan laughed cheerfully, grabbed Wen Han's hand affectionately, and entered the hole together. As for Ding Yuan's name as the champion, Wen Han was a little flattered. As he walked, he asked Ding Yuan not to play tricks on him with this name. Ding Yuan couldn't allow Wen Han to resist. Even a few words were right, and Wen Han had to give up. Wen Han was walking with Ding Yuan, and after entering, there was a pond platform. The delicate lotus flowers blooming in the pond are very beautiful, and the fish jumps over the water and accidentally splashes the waves. Under the leadership of Ding Yuan, Wen Han came to the stage. On the front was a jade table, with three bottles of jade wine pots, two jade wine glasses, and a few plates of wine dishes.
