Chapter 33: The conspiracy emerges
Gao Shun may not be famous in history books, leaving only a few words of introduction, but he shines in unofficial histories and personal biographies of Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others. He is a famous general that has been missed in history.
When he was in Lu Bu's army, Gao Shun and Chen Gong, Wu and Wen were his right-hand men, while Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng were only the "eight good generals".
Zhang Liao was famous all over the world as "The Powerful Xiaoyaojin", and Empress Zang Ba was also entrusted with important tasks by Cao Cao. These two ruthless characters were only "strong generals" under Lu Bu at the time, but Gao Shun's record was far better than these two, which shows that Gao Shun was The great thing about Shun.
Gao Shun's own military might may not be top-notch, but he is good at training and commanding troops. He only has 800 elite soldiers under his command, and his armors and war equipment are all neatly repaired. In every battle, he is invincible and conquers every attack. He has almost no defeats in the world, and he is a rare general.
And what's rare is that Gao Shun was an absolutely loyal minister, a die-hard loyalist. Gao Shun in history knew that Lu Bu would not achieve great things, but he still followed Lu Bu wholeheartedly. Lu Bu also knew that Gao Shun was a loyal minister, but he could not do it due to various considerations. Use Gao Shun (you know his loyalty, but you can't use it - Heroes).
After Hao Meng rebelled, Lu Bu became even more alienated from Gao Shun. Because Wei Xu and Lu Bu were related, Lu Bu handed over all Gao Shun's subordinates to Wei Xu, but when there was a war, he also let him command his original troops. Combat.
Even so, Gao Shun still followed Lu Bu loyally, and he never had any hatred or complaints until he died fighting for Lu Bu.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" says that after Gao Shun was captured by Cao Cao, Cao Cao asked him, "What do you have to say?" Gao Shun remained silent, and Cao Cao hanged Gao Shun.
Gao Shun did not make the famous saying "A loyal minister will not serve two masters" like Zhang Ren; nor did Gao Shun react violently and take the initiative to die generously like Chen Gong; nor did Gao Shun follow the way of life of that era like Zhang Liao. Idea, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in; instead, it is "silent", and his personality has been sublimated.
Gao Shun was not greedy for money, lustful, drunk, or cliquey. He had no black spots in his life. His character was completely comparable to that of Yue Fei.
So as far as famous generals from the Three Kingdoms are concerned, Qin Hao likes Zhao Yun first, and Gao Shun second.
When he learned that Gao Shun was serving as a general under Yanmen's father, Qin Hao was so happy that he went to Gao Shun to discuss with him as soon as possible. However, Qin Hao was too weak at the time and could not block Gao Shun's shots.
“Detect Gao Shun’s fifth dimension.” Qin Hao secretly ordered the system.
【At his peak, Gao Shun's command was 91 in command, 92 in force, 80 in intelligence, 56 in politics, and 79 in charisma. It is not yet at its peak, with 88 in command, 89 in force, 75 in intelligence, 49 in politics, and 63 in charisma. 】
“A first-class commander, first-class military force, so powerful, he deserves to be a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.” Qin Hao thought secretly in his heart.
“Brother Gao, why are you here?”
Gao Shun was stunned when he heard this. He didn't know this handsome young man leading a horse and holding soldiers, but when Gao Shun saw Qin Hao's charming eyes, Gao Shun suddenly understood.
Other than Xiang Yu, the son-in-law of the Yellow Turban rebel Zhang Jiao, only Qin Hao, the son of the lord Qin Wen, is left with these eyes.
“Gao Shun pays homage to the young master!” Gao Shun bowed his hands and said respectfully.
Seeing Gao Shun salute, Qin Hao quickly went up to help Gao Shun up and said, "Brother Gao, there is no need to be polite. I regard you as my brother. By the way, what are you doing?"
Gao Shun sighed when he heard this, and said a little lonely: "It's hard to say enough."
Gao Shun was originally one of the eight captains of the Yanmen Army and was deeply trusted by Qin Wen, but now he was demoted to guard the prefect's mansion. Needless to say, he knew there must be something going on.
But since Gao Shun didn't want to say it, Qin Hao wouldn't force it. With the power of the Black Ice Platform and the Jin Yiwei in his hands, he could immediately find out after a little research. It didn't matter whether he said it or not.
But even if Gao Shun didn't say anything, Qin Hao had already guessed a thing or two, so he smiled and comforted: "Brother Gao has been wronged. Now that the camp is in its early stages, everything cannot be done without you. Sooner or later, father will reinstate you to your post." !”
Gao Shun forced a smile and said: "Haha, I hope so. By the way, young master, I'm afraid you won't be able to see my lord when you come back this time."
“Oh? Why is this?”
“My lord has led troops to attack the Yellow Turban rebels in Daijun, Youzhou three days ago.”
“Didn’t we say that the troops would be dispatched in three days? How come it was so far in advance?” Qin Hao frowned.
“The original plan was to send troops three days later. However, due to the sudden attack by Fang La, the leader of the Yellow Turban bandits in Dai County, the prefect Li Hui was no match. He lost several battles in a row. Now he has retreated to the headquarters, holding on to his defense while asking for help from the lord.”
“That’s it, huh?”
While talking to Gao Shun, the back of a girl in red and holding a sword suddenly appeared in Qin Hao's sight.
“Is it her? But why is she here?”
After seeing this figure, Qin Hao's mind automatically imagined the figure of a peerless woman, so he could no longer calm down and ignored Gao Shun. He directly chased after her to confirm whether it was what he thought. people. But when the figure entered a corner, it disappeared. Qin Hao knew that he had lost it and had no choice but to return to the prefect's mansion.
When Gao Shun saw Qin Hao coming back, he immediately greeted him with a smile and joked: "Young Master, who is that girl? Is she the future young lady?"
Qin Hao did not laugh, but said with a serious face: "I was not sure before, but now I am sure it is her, Zhang Jiao's adopted daughter, Dongfang Sheng."
Gao Shun was startled and exclaimed: "What? 'Empress' Dongfang Sheng? How could she appear in Guangwu City?"
Dongfang Sheng's reputation in the world is not small. She has an all-powerful appearance and superb swordsmanship. As a daughter, she has challenged the world's swordsmen, but has never been defeated. Now, except for the sword master Wang Yue, no one can stop her sword. Front.
Her peerless beauty put men all over the world to shame, so she was dubbed the "Empress" by the world, which means the emperor among women.
"I don't know, but I always feel that there is a conspiracy here, Huangjin, Daijun, Yanmen Pass...could it be bad." Qin Hao seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly changed.
Seeing Qin Hao's face turn pale instantly, Gao Shun also smelled something unusual and asked cautiously: "Young Master, what exactly is going on..."
Qin Hao grabbed Gao Shun's shoulders with both hands and said seriously: "Brother Gao, I have something important to ask you. You must answer me honestly."
After feeling the strength of Qin Hao's hand, Gao Shun knew that something big might be about to happen, so he nodded vigorously and said: "Yes!"
“How many troops did Fang La send this time, and how many troops did my father send?”
"Fang La sent 70,000 troops to attack Daijun this time, and the Lord led 30,000 elite troops to support him."
“Damn it, so there are only 10,000 defenders left in Yanmen Pass. Have there been more Hu merchants in the city recently?”
“Well, it seems like there are a lot more.”
“How many soldiers and horses are there in Guangwu City?”
“In addition to the five hundred county soldiers, there are also eight hundred trapped troops.”
"It should be enough. Brother Gao, can you still command the enemy camp now?"
Gao Shun smiled and said confidently: "Yes!"
What is a famous general? This is a famous general. Even if he is dismissed, he can still command and mobilize the army. However, this is also the reason why the emperor is afraid. No emperor is willing to see such a phenomenon of being out of control among his subordinates.
"Okay, Brother Gao, go quickly and send the order to close the city gate and put the whole city into level one alert. The reason is just an order from the prefect. Then you lead the trapped camp to lock up all the Hu merchants in the city. If there is any resistance, .Kill." Qin Hao said with a murderous look in his eyes.
It can be said that the prosperity of Guangwu City is entirely supported by merchants, so merchants are generally not easily touched in Guangwu City. Although the total number of Hu merchants in the city is not large, there are only one or two thousand people, and there is usually no threat. But now that the main force of the Yanmen Army is gone, if anyone among these people suddenly attacks, it will be fatal.
"But, why is this?" This matter is too big, and Gao Shun is still guilty, so hesitation is unavoidable. At least he should know the reason.
Qin Hao knew that Gao Shun would not listen to his orders if he didn't tell him the reason, so he explained eagerly: "Dongfang Sheng will never appear in Guangwu for no reason, and the timing of the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Dai County is It is too coincidental. There are only 10,000 defenders at Yanmen Pass. If the Yellow Turbans tell the Xiongnu this news, will the Xiongnu miss this good opportunity? "
"What? Young Master, are you saying that the Yellow Turbans and the Huns have joined forces?"
Qin Hao thought for a while and said: "Joining forces is not enough, it should be mutual use. The Yellow Turbans used the Xiongnu to weaken the strength of our Yanmen Army, and to force my father to return to Yanmen Pass to take down Dai County in one fell swoop.
The Huns used the Yellow Turbans to contain our main force so that they could capture Yanmen Pass in one fell swoop. If the Huns really attack, there must be spies sent by the Huns among these Hu merchants. There is no time to identify them one by one now, so we can only catch them all and release the innocent people after the war is over. "
"But."
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of things.”
After staring at Qin Hao's unyielding eyes for a while, Gao Shun lowered his head, cupped his fists and said, "No!"
