Lord Yuan

Chapter 142 Zhao Jian is like a treasure
At this time, the soldier on the city wall was taking a nap as if no one was watching. Perhaps it was because he didn't have a good rest during his shift inspection last night. With his sleepy eyes, he inadvertently raised his head and wanted to take a look at the sun outside.

However, he saw flying dust suddenly appearing on the unobstructed plain. He looked inward and saw a team of nearly a hundred people advancing towards them little by little.

He was already so sleepy that he could no longer think more about it. In addition, it was already the time when the north wind was howling. The yellow sand on the ground was swept away by the ubiquitous north wind, making the figures of Yuan Shao and others appear here. Only a vague outline could be seen in the yellow sand. Dang even lit a beacon on the side, and at the same time called his companions to go down and report to the superior.

Seeing the seriousness of what he said, his companions were suspicious but had no time to observe. They just took a brief look and felt horrified. They quickly rushed to the Yousima camp to report to Zhao Jian that there was an enemy attack.

Although Zhao Jian had doubts in his heart, he was warlike by nature and was reminded by Yuan Shao, the chief historian. He summoned Qu Junhou, the garrison leader and other senior sergeants to convey the order to stand ready and order all his soldiers to do the following. So ready to fight hard.

After doing this, he remembered that there was a Chang Shi who was above him in the camp, and hurriedly sent him to invite him, and let him see how he beat these foreign bastards.

Just when he was still trying to get to the frontier fortress wall quickly, the orderly soldier who went to summon Chang Shi came running with panic on his face.

"That Chang Shi is not in the camp now, and neither are his commanders nor his subordinates."

Zhao Jian was quite confused when he heard this. It was a clear day, where could Chang Shi go?Even the length was missing.

It's important to attack the aliens right now, so long history won't be there. Anyway, someone will record the process of the battle afterwards.

Zhao Jianjia stayed close to his body and took out his own weapon from behind. The long sword that symbolized Sima's identity walked out of the camp gate and followed the stairs of the city wall to the city gate.

Looking at the group of people in the yellow sand in the sky, Zhao Jian squinted and tried his best to see clearly. At the same time, he felt sad for this group of aliens who obviously did not know whether to live or die. Such a plain, with a wide field of vision, could only control strong bows and crossbows. It only takes a moment to destroy them all.

Although he had doubts, he still ordered the soldiers who were waiting for him to open their crossbows. When the group of foreigners came closer and confirmed their true identity, he gave an order and thousands of arrows were fired.

Yuan Shao and others didn't know when something happened at the city gate, and because this group of frightened and handicapped Han people moved too slowly, their formation became like a long snake formation.

Zhao Jian suddenly felt strange. Could it be that this is another new type of warfare developed by foreigners? Facing my indestructible city wall fortress, can such a formation be able to withstand my strong bow and crossbow?
Another half-quarter of an hour passed. Even though the Han people's legs were not strong enough, they gradually passed through the wind and sand and came under the suspension bridge. A large river tens of meters wide was running rapidly in front of them, a natural river. Moat barrier.

When Yuan Shao and others walked forward to call down the suspension bridge, Zhao Jian, who was about to give an order at the city gate, suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had seen something incredible, and rubbed his eyes hard in disbelief. Rubbing eyes.

Yes, it is indeed a long history.

what's the situation?
Zhao Jian couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to open the suspension bridge privately. He could only shout at the city gate: "Is the person coming here the long history of Liaodong?"

"Exactly, now that the Han people have been rescued and can only return home, I hope that the suspension bridge will be lowered quickly so that all of them can return home!"

Yuan Shao shouted loudly.

The Han people cheered and cheered, thinking that they would never see the Han city wall again or return to the Han land. For a moment, some fragile disciples couldn't bear the sudden joy and burst into tears. .

Zhao Jian was quite doubtful and couldn't make up his mind for a while. He didn't understand how Chang Shi, who was supposed to be practicing hard in the camp, appeared outside the Great Wall with so many Han people following him.

At this moment, the soldiers guarding the suspension bridge at the city gate last night seemed to see that Xu Da and others had returned victorious. With joy on their faces, they trotted all the way to Zhao Jian and said excitedly: "Zhao Sima, I know where they came from. Coming?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Come from that alien tribe!"

"What? Did Chang Shi surrender to the enemy? How did you know that wantonly slandering an official of the imperial court is a serious crime!" Zhao Jian's face instantly became dissatisfied, and the scrutiny in his eyes was clear.

The soldier shook his head happily and hurriedly explained: "This is not Sima's idea, but actually Chang Shi's whim. He and Chief Xu Da chose to raid the foreign tribe late at night, intending to take advantage of their unpreparedness to launch a fire attack. Now that I see him returning, his face is full of joy, and I am afraid that he is returning in triumph."

Zhao Jian was stunned. Regarding the soldier's remarks, he immediately found it unbelievable. This was not the period of Emperor Xiaowu of the Han Dynasty, and it was not the hussar general who performed Huo Qubing's feat when he ran thousands of miles to attack the Xiongnu. How could the Han army take the initiative now? The move to attack outside the fortress was already a great achievement to be able to defend the current border fortress.

But Zhao Jian couldn't make a choice because he said he had noses and eyes.

But he said that Yuan Shao was under the suspension bridge. He hadn't seen him put down the suspension bridge for a long time, and he suddenly understood the reason.Calling Xu Da and whispering in his ear, Xu Da squinted his eyes slightly and looked up at his former companions on the city gate. Now they all had expressions of surprise. He also came back to his senses and understood the reason. Even according to what Yuan Shao said, the narrowest point of the river was only a few meters away, and the horse jumped over it.

Then he climbed up the rock along the rope that had slipped down before.

Seeing that the soldiers on the city wall were puzzled and eager to untie the rope, Xu Da hurriedly exclaimed: "Don't do anything, I will explain to you when I get up!" He didn't want to be the one in the Xianbei tribe. He didn't die, but now he was untied by his own people and fell to the ground from a high altitude to die. That would be the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Fortunately, the soldiers seemed to have received the order and allowed Xu Da to climb with all his strength.

When Xu Da went up, the soldiers around him looked in surprise. Xu Da trotted proudly and came to the right Sima Zhao Jian.

After half a moment of explanation, Zhao Jian's eyes changed from surprise to shock. He really couldn't imagine how such a thing could happen under his command.

But when he saw that his personal evidence was there, but he didn't bring the physical evidence because he was afraid of losing it while climbing, Xu Da had an idea and immediately stood on the city wall and said loudly: "Chang Shi, please throw up the Xianbei Jishou. "

Yan Liang waved his hand, and the Ji's head turned into a parabola and slid down to the city wall accurately. Xu Da didn't care about the blood stains on it and grabbed it with one hand. He grabbed the Ji's hair with great arrogance and pointed towards Zhao. Jane explained.

After learning the truth, Zhao Jian seemed to have had a confusing dream. With all the witnesses and material evidence available, Zhao Jian asked his subordinates to lower the suspension bridge, and Yuan Shao and others entered the fortress peacefully. .

"That is to say, Chang Shi went far beyond the Great Wall, personally went to the Xianbei tribe, and then set fire to the camp with only the help of Shi Zhang Xu Da and ten other horsemen." Zhao Jian seemed to be telling a fantasy.

It was only then that Chang Shi told him the order to lift the truce with the foreign races, but before he could prepare, Yuan Shao took the lead and didn't take the foreign races seriously at all.

What he didn't expect was that even with such an almost impossible thing, Yuan Shao, the chief minister, also rescued hundreds of Han Li Shu who had just been plundered by the Xianbei tribe.

After this series of operations, Zhao Jian really didn't know how to express his inner horror.

"Zhao Sima has to admit it. These are the achievements of the brothers who fought hard. For this reason, two brothers were seriously injured!" Xu Da saw that Zhao Jian seemed to be a little abnormal. , fearing that he would lose these military achievements, he quickly reminded him.

As for the two companions who were so-called seriously injured, they were actually just passed by by the arrows, causing some superficial scars, which were of no importance at all.

Seeing Xu Da's impatient look, Zhao Jian smiled knowingly, turned to look at a picture of Chang Shi, who was calm and gentle, and said with some fear: "If Chang Shi hadn't planned this trip carefully, how could you have achieved this military merit. "

"Chang Shi must not be so involved in danger. It is the group of Han people who were robbed. Of course I know how difficult it is to rescue them, let alone those foreign tribes far away. Chang Shi only needs to rescue them. Why bother? He chose to come back and disturb that group of aliens again." Zhao Jian said worriedly.

Yuan Shao nodded, he would never do it again. This trip has completely made his reputation known. Although there were some twists and turns, in the end, it was smooth with Yan Liang's backing up.

"Don't worry about your military exploits. I haven't noticed it yet, so the next war will definitely become quite frequent."

"What's more, if you can show military prowess in the camp, my Sima's reputation will be spread among the other seven camps. Why not?" Zhao Jian smiled happily.

"As for those Han people who were plundered, confirming their registered residence and sending them all back home. Such a great achievement. I really don't know how the superiors will reward Chang Shi. He has won such a great contribution for our Sima Qu tribe when he first came to the military camp. , even I, Zhao Jian, don’t know what to say.”

Zhao Jian was full of emotions. For the first time, he felt that leaving a long history was an extremely correct decision. For him, no matter whether he had any credit for the military achievements obtained by his subordinates, they could not escape him when the superiors distributed them to the subordinates. This direct officer is the highest officer of the Sima Qu Department. Although this is somewhat unfair to the lower-level soldiers, the reality is often like this.

"There is an old man outside the door asking to see you." The messenger bowed.

The Han Dynasty has always had great respect for the elderly. The older they are, the more respected they are. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of rareness. It is extremely rare for people to turn seventy. The local county government must distribute daily necessities on weekdays. Items to show respect for the elderly.

Now that there was an old man outside asking to see him, Zhao Jian did not dare to neglect him and immediately sent someone to invite him in.

As soon as the gray-bearded old man came in, he knelt down in front of Yuan Shao and murmured the kindness of saving his life in a low voice, which he will never forget.

Yuan Shao quickly knelt down and helped him up.
