The Liaodong Iron Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 132 Befriending Gongsun Zan

A few days later, Huo Yu arranged for Shi A to send out all the wedding invitations one by one, and asked Shi A to go to Luoyang, the capital, firstly to invite his master Wang Yue, and secondly to send wedding wine.Huo Yu believes that this kind of thing can still be done with the help of Shi A's network in Kyoto. As for the wedding wine, of course the Mi family will provide it.

Before leaving Feiru, Huo Yu did not expect that Gongsun Zan would come to visit with a doctor in person.After the Xianbei people withdrew their troops, Gongsun Zan began to reorganize the army vigorously, and then defended the Great Wall pass.As for the Xianbei prisoners in his hands, they had already been handed over to the [-] troops sent by Liu Yu to escort them to Liaodong.

For this matter, Huo Yu felt that he owed Gongsun Zan a favor, and Nurhong also arranged to provide a lot.In this way, although the two met formally, they were like old friends in terms of relationship.

"There was a magpie chirping in front of the door this morning, but I didn't expect that it was Brother Bogui who came here! I wanted to visit in person after I recovered from my injury, but now I am ashamed of Yu Hao!" Standing outside the county office, Huo Yu said when he saw Gongsun Zan .

"Hahaha, where is the arrogance that brother Polu had when he killed the enemy? Why is he acting like a daughter!" Gongsun Zan was a straight-tempered person who said whatever he wanted, but Huo Yu didn't care.

"Speaking of which, it's the feathers turning against the guests, and this fat city is originally under the control of Brother Bogui."

"Hahaha, dear brother, don't do this, you and I are Hanchens, this fat city is the territory of the imperial court!"

"Slips of words! Brother, don't blame me! Please."

When the two entered the lobby, a servant brought tea naturally, and the entire county office was filled with laughter and laughter.The gathering of warriors is so simple and straightforward. Gongsun Zan and his subordinates admire Huo Yu's generals even more. They say that Yan Gang and others admire Dian Wei who gallops with his feet.As a warrior, you can't do without wine, Huo Yu had already arranged for people to prepare the banquet during the interval between joking and joking.

"Brother Bogui is here, today Yu will not return home until he is drunk!"

"Young brother has just recovered from his physical injury, so it shouldn't be like this!"

"Brother, what are you talking about, Yu is determined to give up his life to accompany the gentleman! All of you here are veteran generals of Youzhou, and Yu admires him so much, does elder brother look down on younger brother?"

"Since that's the case, it's for brother to accompany you!"

"Hahahaha" everyone laughed, and then Huo Yu used his ability to fool people, and even flattered Gongsun Zan and others.

When it was time for the banquet, Huo Yu pretended to make a mistake and hurriedly sent someone to invite his father-in-law Cai Yong.Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, Cai Yong, the world's great scholar, was here, so they calmed down and waited for Cai Yong's arrival.During this period, Huo Yu told Gongsun Zan that he and Cai Yan would be married at the end of the new year, and he must come at that time, otherwise he would take his wife to You Beiping to visit.

Seeing Huo Yu treat each other so sincerely, Gongsun Zan was moved, and said in his heart: "Brother Polu treats each other so sincerely, this Liu Xuande, hmph! You despicable villain."

Huo Yu actually didn't know that before Gongsun Zan came, Liu Bei repeatedly dissuaded him, saying that Huo Yu was as ambitious and cunning as a fox, so he should not be close friends.Now Gongsun Zan was moved by Huo Yu's sincerity, but it was not the case. The reason why Huo Yu did this was to have an ally who could help each other in a short time.

After Cai Yong arrived, the banquet began.Cai Yong had heard Liu Yu mention Gongsun Zan many times, but seeing that his son-in-law was fighting with him, he treated him with courtesy, especially when Cai Yong learned that Gongsun Zan was Lu Zhi's student, he drank several cups with him .This time Gongsun Zan smiled even brighter. As a warrior, he has never been treated well by the literati, but now everyone in Cai treats him with more courtesy, so he is so happy!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Cai Yong left with the excuse of being overwhelmed with alcohol.He knew that he was here, and all the warriors couldn't open their mouths to drink. Since he helped his son-in-law finish his face-saving work, it's better to leave.

"My virtuous brother is blessed with immortality! Brother Cai heard that the daughter of Master Cai is one of the best in the entire Han Dynasty regardless of appearance or talent."

"I'll tell you the truth, brother, I'm Chen Wang's righteous son, so I have this opportunity to meet a beautiful woman!" At this time, Huo Yu was drunk and said triumphantly.

This news is like a bolt from the blue, Mr. Chen Yizi, no wonder everyone in Cai attaches great importance to it.With this relationship, not to mention the Kyoto side, it seems that this move is right.

"Thanks to my virtuous brother for being a brother, I will definitely go there when I get married!"

"Okay! I will wait for my elder brother to drive by then."

The banquet lasted until late at night, and all the generals passed out drunk on the spot. Huo Yu was slightly better than Gongsun Zan, but he was also helped back to his room.At the end of the banquet, Huo Yu inadvertently brought up the matter with Liu Bei, and even persuaded Gongsun Zan with good words, and asked Gongsun Zan to mention the two of them. Unexpectedly, Huo Yu's unintentional words were indeed kept in Gongsun Zan's heart. Liu Bei became the person Gongsun Zan least wanted to see.

The next day, Gongsun Zan left with his men. When parting, Huo Yu said that he had a lot of white horses in his hand, and he was willing to give them as gifts.Unexpectedly, Gongsun Zan agreed to a one-on-one exchange.Looking at Gongsun Zan's leaving back, Huo Yu murmured, "I hope we don't meet each other on the battlefield in the future!"

In all fairness, Huo Yu thought that Gongsun Zan was worthy of association.At least when there is no conflict, Gongsun Zan is definitely a man of loyalty.How to develop in the future Huo Yu shook his head and didn't think much about it. After returning to the county government, Huo Yu ordered his generals to prepare their luggage, and he would return to Liaodong County with the remains of the fallen soldiers.

There, he will build a heroic soul cemetery and a heroic soul tower to store the remains of soldiers who died for the country.And the families of those fallen soldiers will receive the greatest preferential treatment within the scope of their authority. In Huo Yu's heart, he will never let those soldiers who followed him to fight on the battlefield feel chilled. He wants everyone to know that even if he dies in battle, , your family will be fine.

This move was unanimously approved by the civil and military forces in Liaodong. This approach will allow soldiers to have no worries and let the people know that their stable life is hard-won.Huo Yu even proposed to ask his father-in-law Cai Yong to inscribe the words "Heroes' Soul Cemetery" in handwriting.

In the winter of 185 A.D., a mighty team has been marching in the wind and snow, but at this moment outside Xiangping City, Huo Yu led all the civil and military soldiers standing in the cold wind and heavy snow, waiting for the team's arrival.

"Report, my lord. His Royal Highness Chen Wang and the Mi family caravan are less than ten miles away from Xiangping." A scout rushed over and said loudly.

"It's very windy and snowy, go down and rest!" Huo Yu stepped forward to help the scout to pat the snow on his body and said.

The scout bowed deeply to Huo Yu's actions, and then led the horse towards the military camp in the city.Although it was just an extremely ordinary action, the soldiers around saw it and felt jealous in their hearts. It was such an honor for my lord to pat the snow off his body with his own hands.

Now in Huo Jun, a complete set of reward and punishment system has already been formed. All the soldiers who meet the training standards and stand out in the drill can get the military badge issued by Huo Yu himself. This thing seems simple, but it is a kind of honor symbol.
