When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 16 Gongsun Zan

The wind blew the fluffy grass balls onto Gongsun Zan's resolute face. He reined in his horse and stopped, gazing into the distance at the Wuhuan cavalry who were being tightly held by the Han cavalry under the dome.

His face was cold and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"The eagle on the grassland? I want to break the eagle's wings! Smash its claws and fangs! Make them submit to the might of the Han Dynasty forever! Good at fighting? Haha, I want them to be able to sing and dance in the future, and never dare to harass the border of the Han Dynasty!"

"Pass on my orders and kill as I say!"

"promise!"

Gongsun Zan whipped his horse and rushed down the hillside. Behind him were the elite cavalry of the Han army. The Han army, which had been closely following the Wuhuan, suddenly increased its speed. When the horse spears thrust forward, the Wuhuan cavalry fell off their horses one after another, and the situation became almost one-sided.

In a blink of an eye, the Wuhuan cavalry was killed and defeated.

Among them was a middle-aged man who was dressed slightly better than the ordinary Karasuma cavalry and spoke a Hu language.

Gongsun Zan narrowed his eyes.

He is gathering his troops.

Gongsun Zan whipped his whip again. The cavalrymen beside him were all his personal guards. After years of working together, even if Gongsun Zan said nothing, these cavalrymen would understand what their commander meant with just a look or a gesture.

The Karasuma cavalry tried to block them.

But how could the Wuhuan cavalry, who were at the end of their strength, withstand the attack of Gongsun Zan?

A face-to-face meeting.

The Wuhuan cavalry were stabbed and fell off their horses one after another.

The smell of blood hit Gongsun Zan's nostrils, and the corners of his mouth stretched into a grin. Great, this is the feeling.

Seeing Gongsun Zan approaching, the middle-aged man's face was filled with fear and he began to howl in terror.

However, all his sounds were silenced by the cold blade on his neck.

What I saw were Gongsun Zan's icy, trembling eyes.

"It's over, Zahu."

The middle-aged man shuddered and fell off his horse.

His whole body was shaking, and he kept kowtowed to Gongsun Zan, with stumbling Chinese words coming out of his mouth.

"I, your humble servant, submit to the great Han general Gongsun!"

Gongsun Zan returned to the city with a group of horses, sheep, and captives.

The knights in the team counted the chopped heads and calculated their military merits. Even if the court did not give them copper coins, their boss Gongsun Duwei would reward them according to the number of heads.

"General, this time you have been so greedy that the king has surrendered, and even with a large number of people, your military achievement this time is truly incredible!" The captain of the personal guards said in Gongsun Zan's ear.

Gongsun Zan had a gentle smile on his face. "Don't worry, I won't forget you. I was able to defeat this group of Wuhuan because of you soldiers. Let's go back to the camp and prepare the feast!"

The cavalrymen burst into thunderous cheers.

After Gongsun Zan had settled the population, he returned to the camp outside the city.

The messenger ran into the tent

"Report! Commander, there are two people outside the tent named Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping who claim to have been entrusted by Liu Bei to present something to you."

"Let them in."

"promise."

"Liu Bei?"

Gongsun Yue, who was sorting out Gongsun Zan's armor, lost his voice, his face full of confusion.
"Brother, who is this Liu Bei?"

Gongsun Zan seemed to recall his school days, with a smile on his face.

"Liu Bei was my schoolmate and friend. I am slightly older than him, and he treated me like an elder brother, and I also treated him like a younger brother."

"Oh, what kind of person is Liu Bei?" Gongsun Yue asked. "Liu Bei's name is Xuande. He is a righteous man who loves to fight for the weak. He has great ambitions, outstanding abilities, and good martial arts. It's a pity that he was born in a humble family, otherwise he would have become a great man. But I believe that a hero like Xuande will definitely not be unknown. Let's wait and see."

Gongsun Yue couldn't believe it. These were the words spoken by his cousin. Was he still his arrogant cousin?
"The messenger has arrived!"

Gongsun Zan ignored Gongsun Yue who was still distracted. He walked quickly to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping. Since they were Liu Bei's envoys, they looked much more pleasing to the eye. However, he was a little puzzled. The names of these two people sounded familiar, as if he had heard them somewhere before.

"Su Shuang"

"Zhang Shiping"

"Greetings to Commander Gongsun!"

"Well, both of you please stand up. I wonder what Xuande sent me."

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked at each other in surprise. Is this still the legendary arrogant Gongsun Zan?
So, he is worthy of being Mr. Liu!
"Captain Gongsun, it's Zhu, a letter, and a chair."

Zhang Shiping, who used to be fearless, became much weaker in front of Gongsun Zan. Although Gongsun Zan looked amiable, they knew in their hearts that a general like Gongsun Zan, who came from a noble family, looked down on them, the businessmen, from the bottom of his heart.

I can face them with this attitude only for Liu Jun's sake.

"Oh?"

Gongsun Zan's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "Xuan De knows that I am craving for food and miss the taste of my hometown, so he came here specially to send me pickled mustard, which is just right for the side dish at the banquet."

"Brother, please wait a moment." Gongsun Yue came to his senses.

"what happened?"

"Look at this porcelain, it's so exquisite. This pickle shouldn't be that simple."

Gongsun Zan frowned. "Isn't pickled vegetables just pickled vegetables? Can they be turned into meat?"

"General Gongsun, why don't you try it yourself?" Su Shuang said stiffly.

Gongsun Zan glanced at him, there was no tenderness in his eyes, as if they were filled with murderous intent, and his hand was pressing on the knife at his waist, as if to say, how dare you interrupt in front of your father?
Su Shuang was so frightened that he immediately retracted his head, but when he thought of Liu Bei's entrustment, he gritted his teeth and continued
"Please have a taste, Commander Gongsun!"

Zhang Shiping was dumbfounded. No, Su Shuang, why are you so stubborn?
Gongsun Zan suddenly smiled and said, "Good, really good, worthy of being entrusted by Xuande. I really envy Xuande, he always has talented people around him."

"A capable person???"

Zhang Shiping's jaw dropped. How could Su Shuang be praised so highly by Commander Gongsun?
Su Shuang felt like his toes were off the ground and his whole body was floating in the air.

After saying this, Gongsun Zan ignored the two of them and opened the letter to read it.

Good guy Xuande, you came to me for help.

Gongsun Zan put down the letter and said to Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, "Tell Xuande that I agree."

"Pick" Zhang Shiping looked at the porcelain jar dryly.

Gongsun Zan's brows furrowed even deeper, but he still said nothing. He opened the porcelain jar, picked up the chopsticks handed to him by Gongsun Yue, picked up some and tasted it.

“This is the taste.”

Gongsun Zan's eyes widened. He turned around and grabbed Su Shuang's hand. "How much of this do you have left?!!!"

“We don’t have much of this either.”

Gongsun Zan let go of Su Shuang's hand and said, "I lost my temper. Xuande said in the letter that the production is not high. It is true that with such saltiness and such a taste, I can't eat much. Forget it. Anyway, as long as the production increases, Xuande will definitely agree to supply us first."

"?" Gongsun Yue was puzzled. He wiped his chopsticks, picked up a piece and tasted it.

The next second, he understood what Gongsun Zan said. This thing was not bitter at all. Even though it was a bit salty, the taste was indeed unique and special. Not to mention other pickles, it even tasted better than pork.

It can be fully supplied to knights who sweat a lot.

Gongsun Zan sent Su Shuang away, and Zhang Shiping left.

Gongsun Yue asked: "Brother, do you really think that Su Shuang just now is a capable person?"

"Huh? A capable person? Just now I remembered the identities of the two men. They are horse dealers. How could he be a capable person? I was just afraid that Xuande would be deceived by bad guys. But it seems that Xuande is really capable. The two horse dealers are loyal to him. He is worthy of being my good friend."

　Sorry, I have something to do, the update is late (bow)
