When Shibao's eldest son was fighting against the local tyrants and dividing the fields, Shangdang County was in charge of Huguan, and a red-armored cavalry was approaching the city.

At this time, the city gate was wide open at Huguan, and a group of officials gathered in front of the city gate, carrying pots and serving food.

Some people look up eagerly, some have flattering faces, some have twinkling eyes, and so on.

General Zhendong reined in his horse and looked at everything in front of him calmly.

The deep gaze has an unpredictable color.

However, along the way, Zhu Ju, who was desperately trying to keep up with General Guan, looked quite shocked:

"General Guan, what is this?"

"It's better to eat a pot of pulp to welcome Master Wang! What else could it be?"

Zhao Guang, who was accompanying him on the other side, replied somewhat unsurprisingly on behalf of General Guan.

"Tao eat the pot of juice to welcome the king's master?!"

Although he already had an answer in his heart, after getting the answer, Zhu Ju still looked at General Guan with some disbelief on his face.

He was sent to learn how to fight on horseback. In the past few years, Zhu Ju was defeated by Han and Wu several times.

He also repeatedly conveyed what he saw and heard in Han to Wu.

Originally he thought he knew everything about Han.

This battle, in particular, was an extremely rare opportunity to observe the Han army's battles at close range.

Therefore, from the beginning when the Southern Army entered Hedong, he urged the trainee camp to follow them.

When he learned that General Zhendong and Zhao Sanqian were preparing to support Taiyuan, Zhu Ju tried his best to follow him with his trainee battalion.

After all, these two men were the most powerful generals in the Han Dynasty who used cavalry.

Unexpectedly, the whole journey from Hedong to Taiyuan, and from Taiyuan to Shangdang, was a rush.

Apart from letting Zhu Ju experience the legendary long-distance running ability of the Han cavalry, there was nothing more.

Because along the way, when the Wei thieves heard that the Han army was coming, they all fled. Even Sima Yi was a traitor.

They simply did not dare to have large-scale contact with the Han cavalry.

Even the scattered Wei soldiers who were overtaken by the Han cavalry had no ability to resist. It could be said that they abandoned their weapons and surrendered in anticipation of the red flag.

This made Zhu Zhi, who wanted to see how the Han cavalry fought in front of the formation, greatly shocked and disappointed at the same time.

I originally thought that Huguan was the seat of Shangdang County, and the Wei army would definitely defend it, but I never thought that in front of me, I was "eating a pot of pulp to welcome the king's army"?!

Zhu Ju's eyes were dull and he muttered to himself:

"If so, if it's a Wei thief..."

Halfway through, he suddenly woke up, shook his head vigorously, and stopped talking.

Think about how Da Wu has repeatedly gone north to fight against the Wei thieves over the years, and he has always suffered defeat at the gate.

Even if His Majesty led a hundred thousand superior troops to besiege a small city with few soldiers, the Wei thieves would never surrender.

Zhu Ju couldn't help but feel envious and jealous, and a burst of sour water almost came out of his stomach.

If the might of Wu's army can make the Wei thieves do this, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?

Just thinking about the Wu cavalry trainee camp, from top to bottom, except for myself who can grit my teeth and keep up, everyone else has fallen behind.

Zhu Ju couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"I wonder when the Wu cavalry will be able to compete with the Han cavalry? I'm afraid only then will the Wei thieves be frightened by the Wu army, right?"

"General? General?"

The selected village elders from Huguan stood tremblingly in front of General Guan's horse.

Although he didn't dare to look around him, the large red armor still made his eyes feel blood-red.

Make them feel oppressive.

What makes him even more uneasy is that the general in front of him has been condescending but silent, and he doesn't know what he means.

This made the village elders, who were already a little guilty, even more uneasy.

Even Huguan City was... occupied by rebels, but the rebels were very powerful at that time.

And now that he and others took the initiative to open the city gate and welcome Master Wang, they also showed their attitude.

I also heard that the Han Dynasty emphasized laws and regulations, and military discipline was also awe-inspiring.

The general in front of him wouldn't want to break the city and settle old scores under such circumstances, would he?

General Guan, with a thoughtful look in his eyes, seemed to have come back to his senses and smiled to himself:

"Sorry, I was distracted because I thought about him for a moment, don't blame me."

After saying that, he got off his horse and helped the old man up, "Where are the thieves in the city?"

While asking, he looked towards Huguan City again.

But there are only white flags at the top of the city. Where are the traitor flags?

"General, the thieves heard about the arrival of the king's army and were afraid of the general's power. They fled south three days ago. They thought they wanted to return to Hanoi."

Seeing that the general in front of him was young, handsome, with a not evil demeanor and a calm tone, the village elder was slightly relieved.

General Guan had already received the news from the scouts. Now that he saw it with his own eyes, a smile finally appeared on his face:

"I see. No wonder the city gate is wide open."

The village elder responded quickly:

"That's right, that's right. Although we have no choice but to succumb to the thieves' power, we are really looking forward to Master Wang's early arrival to relieve the suffering of the Shangdang officials and the people!"

When General Guan heard this, he couldn't help showing a look that was half a smile, and glanced at the village elder: "The pain of hanging upside down?"

"That's right, that's right!" the leading village elder responded repeatedly, "To express my feelings, I have prepared wine, meat and other food for the general. General, please come into the city."

Unexpectedly, General Guan shook his head:

"I already know the wishes of the people in the city! However, the imperial court has issued an order. Under the rule of the Han Dynasty, large armies are not allowed to enter the city without any reason. They can only be stationed outside the city so as not to disturb the people in the city."

General Guan pointed at Huguan with the riding whip in his hand, "Now that Huguan has opened the city gate and surrendered, it can be regarded as under the rule of the Han Dynasty."

"In view of the new restoration of Huguan City, I will send at most a team of troops into the city to help maintain order in the city."

As he spoke, he turned around and ordered:

"Old General Ma, I've got to do this for you. Please take some of your military staff and a team of troops into the city to temporarily take over everything in the city until the court appoints officials."

Ma Dai quickly responded: "Here!"

General Guan turned to look at the village elder again and smiled apologetically:

"Therefore, I can't eat this table in the city. If you all in the city are really interested, please help prepare some food and grass to supply the army."

"I led the army in such a hurry that the supply of food and grass in the rear area will inevitably be delayed. Now I have to be shameless and ask for help."

"It's easy to talk!"

As soon as the leading villager heard General Guan's words, he couldn't hide the joy on his face. He responded repeatedly: "Yes, yes!"

Others also echoed:

"Yes, yes! Master Wang drives away thieves for us and serves the people wholeheartedly. If we don't reward him well, how can we feel so good?"

"It is our duty to serve the needs of the general's officers and men!"

When General Guan heard this praise, his face was filled with smiles.

He himself was extremely handsome, and his smile was comparable to that of a beautiful woman.

It seemed that those village elders were all blind.

Look at Zhao Sanqian behind General Guan. Although there are a few shallow scars on his face, they not only do not diminish his appearance, but also add a bit of extravagant beauty.

Some people just remembered the rumors about a certain Feng:

He likes to steal other people's betrothed wives, loves handsome men, and eats both men and women. It can be said that he is as lustful as his life.

This rumor seems to be somewhat credible, right?

The village elder who took the lead, without caring about anything else, urgently requested:

"If the general doesn't want to enter the city, that's fine. I can leave all the food and wine outside the city. I hope the general won't refuse. Otherwise, I will feel very sorry for you!"

The General Guan in front of him was very easy to talk to. If he didn't express anything, how could he be complacent?

This time, General Guan did not refuse:

"That's it, I'm afraid it will bother you all too much."

"No trouble, no trouble. The young man and the others are afraid that the general will reject him thousands of miles away, so how dare he say trouble?"

"Well, since it's hard to refuse such kindness, I'll accept it." General Guan muttered, "But it's a military rule that you are not allowed to drink alcohol without permission."

"This wine is free of charge. As for other food, it doesn't matter."
