#557 - Arrival in Guangzong

Ji Province, outside Guangzong City.

Zhao Yun and Guo Jia, leading three thousand White Horse义Cong and two thousand Wuhuan cavalry, had been traveling south from You Province at full speed, and finally arrived at Guangzong, where Gongsun Zan was located.

The journey was so arduous that Guo Jia almost lost half his life.

This made Guo Jia secretly vow to give up alcohol and women in the future, and spend more time exercising his body. In addition, he couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards Yuan Shao.

The area of Ji Province controlled by Yuan Shao mainly consisted of the Bohai Commandery, Qinghe State, and Wei Commandery, which happened to include all the areas of Ji Province adjacent to the Yellow River and the sea.

Otherwise, why would Guo Jia have to go all the way south from You Province in a big circle to meet with Gongsun Zan.

As they approached Guangzong City, Zhao Yun naturally wouldn't rashly lead five thousand cavalrymen closer to avoid misunderstandings.

Instead, he sent a trusted aide with his seal to pay a visit to Gongsun Zan to express their identity and intentions. Zhao Yun's cavalry rested in place, waiting for news.

Guo Jia, whose face was a little pale, drank some clean water and took the opportunity to change his pants.

He had to change them. Guo Jia rarely rode a horse on weekdays. After such continuous travel, the tender flesh on both sides of Guo Jia's inner thighs was rubbed again and again. The blood scabs formed and broke, broke and formed again.

Considering that he might need to meet Gongsun Zan later, Guo Jia naturally changed his blood-stained pants to avoid losing etiquette and embarrassing Yangzhou.

However, while Guo Jia grimaced in pain, the expression on his face remained the same. He sat back in front of Zhao Yun and said.

"Speaking of which, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the teacher seemed to have followed the army from You Province to Julu Commandery to participate in the war. At that time, the teacher's age seemed to be even younger than I am now."

Zhao Yun handed Guo Jia some dry food to fill his stomach for the time being, and said.

"Lord Marquis did indeed follow the army south from You Province to quell the rebellion, but at that time, the lord led many soldiers, so the journey was not difficult. Unlike Fengxiao, who needs to ride a horse all the time to travel quickly, it's been hard on Fengxiao."

Speaking of this, Zhao Yun's tone couldn't hide a bit of admiration.

After all, Guo Jia was just a scholar who rarely rode a horse. He traveled thousands of miles with the army on horseback. He didn't know how many times the inside of his thighs had been rubbed raw. Another person might not be able to bear it, but Guo Jia always maintained a calm expression.

Such willpower is definitely not something ordinary people have.

Guo Jia took out a folding fan from his arms, opened it with a "snap", and said nonchalantly.

"It's just a little journey. It's just that Zlong has been walking a little slowly along the way. I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the battle between Gongsun Bogui and Yuan Benchu."

"Admire!"

Zhao Yun cupped his fist and said, not knowing whether he was praising Guo Jia's willpower or that mouth that was harder than the tip of a Yaijiao spear.

Suddenly, Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed, and then he suddenly lay on the ground and listened intently.

The next moment, Zhao Yun suddenly got up and ordered.

"Order the entire army to mount immediately!"

The guard next to him quickly took out a horn and blew a rapid sound.

Immediately, the five thousand cavalrymen who were resting on the spot quickly jumped on their horses and prepared their formations.

"Enemy attack?"

Guo Jia recognized the meaning of the order conveyed by the horn and hurriedly got up and asked.

Zhao Yun ordered the guards to quickly help Guo Jia onto his horse. While flipping himself, Zhao Yun re-sat on the Night Shining Jade Lion and replied.

"Not sure, but there are more than 30,000 cavalrymen approaching here quickly. It's better to be careful."

Guo Jia nodded slightly, understanding that it was likely Gongsun Zan, but being in Ji Province, it was always right to be careful.

Under Zhao Yun's command, the five thousand cavalrymen quickly completed a formation suitable for both advancing and retreating. The scouts who had been deployed in front under Zhao Yun's command also drove their horses back to report that a large number of cavalrymen were approaching.

However, after learning from the scouts that the cavalry was bearing the banner of "Gongsun," both Zhao Yun and Guo Jia clearly relaxed a lot and quietly waited in place.

Soon, a white line appeared at the end of Guo Jia's sight, rushing towards this direction like a surging wave.

Moreover, that white line was only the beginning. Following that white line, large swaths of black tide seemed to emerge endlessly from behind.

The earth also seemed to tremble under countless iron hooves.

Before the people arrived, the sound waves arrived first.

Even Guo Jia, who had witnessed the Battle of the Campaign against Dong Zhuo, had long seen the power of tens of thousands of cavalrymen gathering and running wildly.

But the scene in front of him was undoubtedly even more so than the cavalry sent by the Allied Forces against Dong Zhuo.

That was a wave of cavalry that seemed to have no end in sight!

At the front of this cavalry wave, Gongsun Zan, in white armor and white horse, showed his demeanor, and only ordered to slow down his horse when he reached within a hundred steps of Zhao Yun.

Such a huge and fast-moving cavalry army actually slowed down within a hundred steps.

This scene made the corners of Guo Jia's eyes twitch again.

Gongsun Zan drove his horse to the front of Zhao Yun, neatly dismounted and walked towards Zhao Yun, with an extremely happy look, and said.

"Ah, hahaha, Zlong, I didn't expect it was really you who arrived."

Zhao Yun also hurriedly dismounted and saluted, saying. "Under the Lord's command, I have come to learn the art of war from General Gongsun."

"Thank you, thank you."

Gongsun Zan patted Zhao Yun's shoulder, his smile was thick, understanding that this was said to be learning, but it was actually to help fight.

"How have Xuande and Zikun been lately?"

Gongsun Zan turned to care, and Zhao Yun also answered one by one.

However, when Gongsun Zan glanced and found that there were about two thousand Wuhuan cavalrymen behind the White Horse义Cong led by Zhao Yun, his face was slightly unhappy and asked.

"Zlong, why did you borrow troops from Liu Boan?"

This matter was not difficult to guess for Gongsun Zan. In Gongsun Zan's view, the current Wuhuan was a dog raised by You Province. Besides the Wuhuan cavalry in Gongsun Zan's hands, Liu Yu also had a part of them.
