The night is too dark to walk. Wen Han advised the people to leave Linhe again tomorrow. These people understand the reason, and they have not rushed this night for so many years. Later, these people who had not left surrounded Wen Han and chatted with a group of soldiers for a long time before they were willing to disperse and leave.

Early tomorrow morning, Wen Han waited at the city gate with all the soldiers very early, busy from day to night, and finally sent all the people who were leaving. Wen Han and the other soldiers were all so tired that they couldn't breathe, these people who left were too enthusiastic, and there were too many of them. Wen Han has been smiling stiffly for a few days, and his throat is hoarse and speechless. Others are in much the same situation.

After Wen Han and the soldiers returned, it was already dark. Wen Han, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun all live in the Lingfu of Linhe County. When they returned, they had a hasty dinner, rested for an hour, and came to the council hall. Wen Han slept for a while, his spirit was much better, he took the merit document from Xu Huang's hand and read it.

Wen Han pursed his lips, and after looking at about half a pillar of incense, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun couldn't help but turn their eyes to Wen Han. After Wen Han finished reading it, he closed the scroll and took a big breath.

"This merit document says so, our merits are difficult to clear, and it is too one-sided to send war reports, so we must go back to Luoyang immediately for pilgrimage, and make it clear in person, so that we can reward them one by one."

"That's it?"

When Xu Huang heard this, his expression changed, and he asked again as if he couldn't believe it.

"Hmm. That's it. ”

Wen Han frowned, and there was a feeling that he wanted to tear up this so-called merit document on the spot.

"How is that possible! As far as I know, that Lu Fengxian really became the commander of the Shuofang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, and Dingxiang soldiers and horses, and the official worshiped the position of general! Even that Zhang Wenyuan was mixed with the position of a captain. How did it come to our side that it became a credit that is difficult to recognise? It's just nonsense! I can't accept it! ”

"We sacrificed our lives and forgot to die, and killed so many Qianghu people! Seventy percent of the forces of the Kobal tribe who came to attack were annihilated by us. Keba Wuyan's father and son, as well as Keba Wuyan's two younger brothers, and dozens of Keba generals all testified. There are also nearly 40,000 heads of Qianghu Keba's soldiers! These are all evidence of blood and blood! Is it difficult to clear the war report? Could it be that the officials who nodded their heads at the imperial court military command department didn't know how to count, and they still didn't recognize the heads of the Hu people and the Han people! ”

Guan Yu stood up suddenly, and Danfeng's eyes burst with a terrifying light.

"Alright. Unexpectedly, this document asked us to go back to Luoyang and explain it in person, and we can just do it. Just like Brother Yun's elder brother, our battle records, but there are all blood Linlin's heads to testify. You can't go. It's just that... has affected General Gao's career. If General Gao had not broken away from Lu Fengxian's command, he should have been promoted at this time. ”

Gao Shun's tone in listening to Wen Han was sincere and unpretentious, which was extremely moving. Gao Shun's identity is embarrassing, and he was cast halfway through special channels, Wen Han only has the position of Sima, and at most he can only give Gao Shunya the position of goalkeeper. Moreover, this time, Gao Shun broke away from the military command of the state halfway, so many merits were lost.

Even on Wen Han's side, due to the different military commands, the management of this military merit is strict, and Gao Shun's merits cannot be counted. Wen Han owes Gao Shun a lot. But Gao Shun didn't seem to care too much about this, and walked out from the side, his face was resolute, and he said solemnly to Wen Han.

"Wen Sima, don't say that! What Wen Sima did, I Gaoshun saw in his eyes, killing Hu people, breaking into Qiang Hu, and saving the Han people, which one is not a matter of great benevolence and righteousness! It is enough for me to be a pawn under the command of Wen Sima, and this official position is not what I value. If you lose your benevolence and righteousness, it will be in vain to have a high official position! ”

"I am really fortunate to have General Gao as my sibling. General Gao's righteousness, I owe you the credit, the right should be recorded, and I will return it to you in the future. There are also Brother Yunchang, Gongming, and you can rest assured, although we are all family siblings, but I am fortunate to be your superiors. If you follow me, I will be responsible to you. I will not make you lose the slightest bit of this credit. ”

Guan Yu waved his hand, and said while pacing while holding Meisu.

"If you say this, then you don't look like a family. You are a general in the army, and you have made the most contributions. If you don't care, what do we matter? This Han Dynasty is known to be a traitor. I thought, there must be a villain in this! If I find out, I will cut off their dogs' heads with a knife! ”

Gao Shun shook his head, and sighed in agreement with Guan Yu's statement.

"Huh... The villain is in charge. This time, Wen Sima went back to Luoyang, but he had to be very careful, but he was afraid that he would not be able to take the credit, but would be plotted by other villains. However, it is strange to say. Wen Sima is a subordinate of Uncle He, why is he..."

"I think it's strange too. It stands to reason that I have made a lot of contributions, and if I can ascend to the throne, I can enhance the prestige of General He, increase his power, and arouse the enthusiasm of his subordinates. With so many benefits, why did General He take no action and let this nonsense merit document be issued? Could it be that he has some scruples or something... By the way, Gongmei, who belongs to the person who sent the documents? ”

Wen Han asked, and Xu Huang snapped his head as if he remembered something.

"Oh, yes! This merit document was sent by the Assassin of Ding. Among them, before leaving, he also said that when Bufan went back to Luoyang, he would first go to Jinyang and get together with Ding Tingshi. As for what we want to gather for this gathering, I have asked privately and given a lot of gold and silver. But he was pushed back by the man, and he knew when he said it. ”

"Hmm... If so. This Ding Thorn Shi really knows some inside stories, and this Jinyang and his party must go. ”

"However, you are already a month late. In the current situation, if it slows down any longer, I'm afraid..."

"It doesn't matter. Open guns are easy to block and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, if we can learn some from Ding Tingshi, we will go back to Luoyang to deal with it. ”

Guan Yu nodded and said approvingly.

"Brother Extraordinary is right. At the very least, we need to know who Xiaoxiao is doing this little action in secret. Besides, we are too late, but there is a reason. This time, we have broken through the territory of Qianghu, saved so many Han people, and captured dozens of tribes of Qianghu people, these are all great achievements. Hmph, it's better to say it in person, lest we make a war report again, and at that time these great achievements were said as a saint, and I see what kind of reason those villains have, this credit is difficult to clear! The 100,000 Han people who came back from Qianghu are all ironclad evidence that they can speak! ”

"Good! The matter was so decided. We will go to Jinyang first, and then return to Luoyang. It's useless to think about anything else, what should come is still coming. However, I probably guessed a thing or two about those villains. This group of us gathered together, all of them were from poor families, and they all had no big background. Originally, the imperial court sent us to the expedition, but they were plotted by those wealthy eunuchs and wanted to borrow a knife to kill people.

It's just that this plan to kill people with a knife has not succeeded, but we have made a lot of merits, and this merit must be an eyesore in the eyes of those wealthy eunuchs. It's strange if they don't move. I don't know what kind of guidance Ding Thorn Shi will have, and Ding Thorn Shi is General He's person, maybe General He has something to say to us. ”

Wen Han snapped the armrest of the stool, stood up, and said slowly. The original angry and unwilling mood gradually subsided, and returned to the previous flat expression of being determined.

Subsequently, Wen Han asked Xu Huang about the training of spear and shield soldiers. Xu Huang told Wen Han that after half a year, half of the formation of the spear and shield soldiers has been completed, because of its high physical fitness requirements, only about 1,000 of the 2,200 people under Xu Huang's command are qualified, and they are incorporated into this spear and shield team.

This team of 1,000 spear and shield soldiers, after training with wooden shields for half a year, gradually became familiar with the use of this shield. Wen Han praised a few words with satisfaction, and then Gao Shun asked about the training of his 2,000 soldiers, Xu Huang sighed a little that his military discipline was strict, Gao Shun followed Wen Han to break through Qianghu and handed over his subordinates to Xu Huang for training.

Xu Huang originally thought that Gao Shun's subordinates would be more or less uncooperative because of their identity as outsiders. Who knew that Gao Shun's subordinates didn't need Xu Huang to care at all, and practiced according to the training process set by Gao Shun in the past. It also saved Xu Huang a lot of thought, and he was able to concentrate his energy on the training of his spear and shield soldiers.

Now the total strength under Wen Han's command has reached 7,000 people, including 2,800 Black Wind Cavalry led by Guan Yu, 1,000 spear shield soldiers and 1,200 spearmen led by Xu Huang, and 2,000 spearmen led by Gao Shun. These three soldiers and horses, without doubt, are the strongest in combat with the Black Wind Cavalry.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Han discussed with Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun about the evacuation of Linhe and the handover. Seventy or eighty percent of the grain and grass in this granary were distributed to the people who returned to their hometowns, and there was not much left, but it was enough for the whole army to eat for half a month. On the way to Jinyang and back to Luoyang, you can go to the nearby county town to replenish, and the stomach problem is solved. As for the handover, Xu Huang told Wen Han that Lu Bu had called people to urge him several times, and the soldiers and horses had been waiting in Hudao County for a long time. As long as a letter is sent tonight, the soldiers and horses who are waiting in the shouting road will arrive early tomorrow morning.

"Okay, Komeito will send a clerk to call you later. Without further ado, we will start preparing tonight, and after waiting for the handover of soldiers and horses to come early tomorrow morning, we will immediately set off for Jinyang. ”

"Yes! Wen Sima! ”

Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun received the order, and they each left to rectify the soldiers and horses under their command. After the three of them left, Wen Han rubbed his aching temples, slumped on the stool, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed heavily.

"I am upset about the injustice of the world, and I have offended the wealthy and powerful. Is it really self-sufficient? ”

Wen Han muttered in a low voice, his tone was weak and helpless...

After finishing speaking, Wen Han felt a little tired, and planned to close his eyes and rest for a while, but he didn't know that a feeling of dizziness hit his head, and it suddenly seemed to drain the strength of Wen Han's whole body. Wen Han slept until dawn the next day. The firehead soldier who sent the early fire, seeing Wen Han sleeping on the stool, did not dare to disturb, and after putting the early on the table with a light step, he was ready to leave. Unexpectedly, there was still a slight movement, waking Wen Han up.

As soon as Wen Han regained consciousness, he felt pain all over his body, and his entire spine seemed to be unable to straighten. Wen Han smiled at the firehead soldier who sent him early, and the firehead soldier thought that he had woken Wen Han up and disturbed his sleep, and was making amends to Wen Han in some horror. Wen Han smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. Laughing, he said a few words to the firehead and told him to leave.
