Chapter 38 Gao Shun
"Let me think about this matter again."
After Dong Zhuo thought for a while, he looked at Wu Qiong and spoke.
These words made Wu Qiong feel a little dissatisfied.
What else are you considering?
Wouldn't it be better to just do what you are told?
"What the Prime Minister said is that these matters are too serious and involve too many things. The Prime Minister really needs to think carefully before making a decision..."
Wu Qiong never dwelled on this matter.
Everything should be done in moderation.
He just needed to appear casual so that he would not be easily suspected by Dong Zhuo and would be more likely to succeed.
After talking to Dong Zhuo for a few more words here, Wu Qiong left Dong Zhuo.
Until he left, he never mentioned Yu Jin again.
Wu Qiong was in a good mood when leaving here.
Although Dong Zhuo only said he was considering it, as long as he was considering it, there was a high chance that this matter would succeed.
Even if it fails, it can plant something in Dong Zhuo's heart.
Some things, once planted, are not easy to eradicate...
After Wu Qiong left, Dong Zhuo sat there, watching Wu Qiong's leaving back, in silence.
After a while, he slowly said, "Are you sincere or fake ?
Are you loyal or treacherous?
Transfer Yu Jin away from Hua Xiong..."
Dong Zhuo shook his head.
Cannot be transferred.
Hua Xiong has already been warned about the issue of troop deployment, and he cannot be warned again.
Things need to have a limit...
…
Luoyang Northern Army Camp.
The Northern Army is there to protect Luoyang. It is a force directly ruled by the imperial court and is different from border troops and local troops.
There were eight schools of the Northern Army in the Western Han Dynasty, such as Changshui and Shesheng. They were streamlined in the Eastern Han Dynasty and became five schools of the Northern Army.
Compared with the border troops and local troops, the Northern Army guarding Luoyang is naturally more glorious.
But now, the glory is gone.
The Northern Army camp is still there, and it's still as spacious as before.
But at this time, it was empty.
The north wind blew along the ground like a knife, blowing up some dead grass and fallen leaves, making the already empty Northern Army camp even more desolate.
Gao Shun stood in front of the Northern Army camp and closed the gate of the camp with his own hands.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar Northern Army camp, Gao Shun couldn't help feeling a little sad.
He was the one who led his troops to hold on to the end, and witnessed with his own eyes the soldiers of the Northern Army being transferred away and disbanded in batches.
The Northern Army, which seemed to have sufficient manpower in the past, is now shrinking.
In the end, there were only two thousand soldiers left who had never been on the battlefield.
Now, these last two thousand soldiers, plus myself, have to leave here.
From today on, the Northern Army will exist in name only.
Perhaps, it will completely disappear in the dust of history.
The haze piled up in the sky and covered the fields, making it difficult to see the road ahead.
The north wind that blew in from the ground made people feel extremely heavy in their hearts...
Gao Shun stood quietly in the north wind, looking at the empty military camp, silent.
The two thousand remaining Northern Army soldiers also remained silent.
After a moment, Gao Shun moved.
He strode to the front of the team and shouted, "Go!"
As soon as the voice fell, he took the lead and walked away. Two thousand Northern Army soldiers followed behind him and marched forward.
The team moved forward in silence, no one spoke, just like their taciturn military officers.
The soldiers holding the flag raised high the flag of the Northern Army.
In the north wind, the flags of the Northern Army fluttered in the wind.
This may be their last stubbornness...
Outside Luoyang City, not far from the road leading to Sishui Pass, there were several riders standing.
Among them, there was one who was riding a fiery red horse, with a bright red cloak behind him and a purple gold crown on his head.
This person is Lu Bu.
It was a cold day, and Lu Bu came here for no other reason than to see the fun.
Looking at the Northern Army passing by on the road in front of him, a smile spread across Lu Bu's face.
These Northern troops only had two thousand men, and all of them had never been on a battlefield.
The armor on their bodies was also in tatters, and there were many soldiers who didn't even have such equipment.
The weapons they carry are even more varied.
Some of the so-called weapons are so crude and simple that they are laughable.
"Hahaha……"
Lu Bu couldn't help laughing out loud.
He was very happy and relaxed, and all the depression in his heart caused by Hua Xiong disappeared at this moment.
“This is truly a strong army!
I don’t know how Hua Xiong would feel when he saw the powerful beggar army coming to reinforce him.
It will surely be wonderful!"
Lu Bu's extremely happy but merciless voice rang out here.
It was carried by the north wind and reached the ears of the Northern Army soldiers.
It made them feel colder than the north wind cutting on their bodies.
“My brother-in-law is right.
With such a strong army of beggars, let’s see how Hua Xiong will fight next!
I’m afraid I’m going to be mad!
It is wonderful to send such a strong army to Hua Xiong's command!"
Wei Xu's voice also rang out.
Hua Xiong was not here at this time, and his brother-in-law Lu Bu was around, so his voice sounded more arrogant than Lu Bu's.
Gao Shun was walking in the front of the team. After hearing the sound, he turned his head and looked over here.
The north wind blew the weeds and fell on his face, causing his eyes to narrow slightly.
"What are you looking at?! Calling you beggars is an overestimation of yours!"
Wei Xuyao glared at Gao Shun and scolded him.
Gao Shun squinted his eyes and looked at Wei Xu twice, then turned around and continued to move forward towards Sishui Pass without saying a word.
"Hahaha……"
Gao Shun's performance made Wei Xu even happier, and he couldn't help but burst into even louder laughter.
Gao Shun did not look back or say anything, but continued walking forward at the same pace.
Some soldiers of the Northern Army could not help but glare at Lu Bu and others.
But since their leading general did not speak, they did not act rashly.
Finally, they withdrew their gaze and headed towards Sishui Pass. However, it seemed that the entire team became even more silent...
Looking at these Northern troops going away silently, Wei Xu couldn't help but curl his lips.
"A bunch of cowards."
He spoke out loud.
"Everyone was pointed at and scolded in the face, and no one dared to fart."
Hou Cheng on the side laughed and said, "If one soldier is a coward, the generals will be cowards as well. The generals of the Northern Army are all cowards, not to mention the ordinary soldiers..."
"A bunch of beggar soldiers, what courage do you expect from them?"
Song Xian smiled.
"Let's go!"
Lu Bu spoke out loud, then turned his horse's head and galloped away into the distance.
Wei Xu, Hou Cheng and others followed suit, riding their horses away.
Even though the wind was freezing, everyone seemed particularly happy on the way back.
This joy continued until they returned.
The reason why it only lasted until I returned was that it did not continue any further.
Because as soon as they returned, they saw Li Ru waiting in the camp, smiling at them as they returned...
