    After the fire-headed soldier left, Wenhan did some stretching exercises, and all the bones in his body were crackling.  After feeling better, Wenhan finished his breakfast quietly.  Xu Huang walked in and informed Wenhan that the troops and horses coming from Hudao to hand over had arrived. At the same time, he also told Wenhan that his troops had completed their standstill and could leave at any time.

    Wenhan nodded and asked Xu Huang to wait for him for a while. Wenhan went back to his room and quickly changed his armor, and then ordered several soldiers waiting outside the room to come to his room to pack the rest of his luggage.  Then he returned to the meeting hall and followed Xu Huang out of the mansion.  After leaving the mansion, his horse, Tuyun Wuzui, had been brought by a soldier and was waiting for him.  Wen Han affectionately wiped Yun Wuzui's horse's head and got on his horse. Xu Huang also rode a good horse, and the two of them ran to the city gate together.

    The general who came to hand over the troops was Cao Xing under Lu Bu.  Cao Xing's archery skills were extraordinary, he could draw a five-stone bow, and he could pierce Yang Yang with a hundred steps. He was one of the eight capable generals that Lu Bu later established.

    And according to historical records, in a certain battle between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, Cao Xing participated in the battle as Gao Shun's subordinate. When Gao Shun was chased by Xiahou, he shot Xiahou Dun in the left eye with a cold arrow, but he was also punished for it.  The furious Xiahou Dun shot his gun through the face and died.  But Xiahou Dun also lost one eye forever.

    ??It can be seen that this man is a master of cold arrows. Even a rare tiger general like Xiahou Dun had an eye shot out by him.  Therefore, Wenhan did not dare to underestimate this person, treated him with courtesy, and completed the handover process step by step.  Cao Xing once met Wen Han when Lu Bu was planning to attack Linhe, and they almost became life-and-death rivals.  However, Wen Han later reached an agreement with Lu Bu, and this prevented a battle in which the Han generals would injure and kill themselves.

    But even so, Wenhan's achievements in Shuofang County, including fighting Hudao, seizing the capital, guarding Linhe and killing nearly 50,000 Qiang and Hu people, could not help but awe Cao Xing.  He was also polite to Wen Han, and like the people of Shuofang, he called him Wen Han champion to show respect.

    But later, when he saw Gao Shun in Wenhan's army, he was a little embarrassed, because before Gao Shun surrendered to Wenhan, Gao Shun was Cao Xing's commander. Cao Xing also respected Gao Shun, and Gao Shun's military training skills were still there.  His generous and heroic character is admired by many people, and Cao Xing is one of them.  When Gao Shun saw Cao Xing, he didn't act like Cao Xing. He was sorry, but still had the blank expression, and nodded to Cao Xing as a greeting.

    Three hours later, the handover of Linhe City was completed.  Wenhan's entire army of 7,000 men was reorganized and ready to set off.  At this time, a lot of people came outside Linhe City. These people knew that Wen Han was leading the army and was preparing to leave. They all hurriedly took out a lot of supplies from their homes and forced them to give them to Wen Han, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao  Shun and other generals also had their soldiers.  He also showed an attitude of not taking it or giving it away. Wenhan had no choice but to order the whole army to take it. The people simply laughed.  I don't know how many people, group by group, sent Wen Han's army two miles outside the city before they were willing to go back.

    Cao Xing and his soldiers and horses saw this scene in their eyes, and they all sighed and envied in their hearts.  The expressions expressed by these people towards Wen Hanjun were all sincere, sincere and grateful.  Unlike in the past, when ordinary people met other soldiers, most of them showed expressions of fear, nervousness, and fear of being deprived.

    "Maybe it's because the positions of these common people in the hearts of Wen Guangjun are different. Therefore, in contrast, the positions of Wen Champions in the hearts of these common people are also different."

    Cao Xing mumbled something incomprehensible, and then led his soldiers slowly away from Linhe City Gate.

    Linhe is far away from Jinyang, one to the west and one to the east.  If riding a horse, it would take 3 days of journey.  However, Wen Han and others were already a month late, so they didn't care much these days.  The most important thing is to get some inside information from Ding Yuan so that he can respond in time to the cold arrows that are coming when he returns to Luoyang.

    As for Pei Yuanshao who stayed behind in Xiudu, some handover matters were not completed and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, so Wenhan ordered him to go back to Jie County first, just in case anything happened to Luoyang in the future, which would affect Jie County.  Zhou Long and his wife He Shuang.

    On the way back, Xu Huang and Gao Shun took the initiative to suggest to Wen Han that they were both infantrymen and were slow to move.  Let Wen Han and Guan Yu go over first, and they will come later.  Indeed, as Xu Huang and Gao Shun said, the speed difference between cavalry and infantry is too big, although the soldiers under Xu Huang and Gao Shun are all well-trained soldiers with excellent physical fitness.

    But when compared with the Black Wind Cavalry, the gap is even greater than that of ordinary cavalry and infantry.  The Black Wind Cavalry was originally the elite among the elite. He also had stirrups and saddles, and he had just returned from the Qiang Hu adventure.  These black wind riders carried out the guerrilla battle of the Sixteenth Golden Character in the Qianghu prairie, covering an unknown number of kilometers.  His proficiency in equestrian skills is beyond the reach of ordinary people.  So along the way, even if I was willing to wait for Xu Huang and Gao Shun's troops, I still didn't knowUnconsciously, I was far away from them.

    Seeing that Xu Huang and Gao Shun's troops were out of breath and gasping for air, Wenhan accepted their proposal.  In this way, Black Wind Cavalry can run freely.  While Xu Huang and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses were still resting in a certain forest, they had already finished resting and left quickly with a black whirlwind blowing.

    After half a year in Qiang and Hu territory, Heifengqi has long been accustomed to riding horses and running, because at that time, he had been chased by seven or eight thousand Qiang and Hu people several times, sometimes running for a whole day and night.  Therefore, Wen Han and Guan Yu led the Black Wind Cavalry and rarely rested. They rushed all the way to Jinyang in less than five days.

    Jinyang City is about 4,500 meters long, oriented north-east, and covers an area of ??about 20 square kilometers. As the city of Bingzhou, Jinyang is a large city that can accommodate a population of 300,000 people.

    In Jinyang City, there are long streets, wide and crowded, with many stalls selling food.  Both sides of the street are crowded and bustling, with shops lined up and customers coming and going, creating a bustling and bustling atmosphere before people's eyes.  Carts of vegetables and grains pulled by oxen shuttled through the streets, and there were also small carts pushed by people. From time to time, luxury carriages with nobles riding on them would pass by.  At this time, it was noon and the sun was scorching, but the street was still filled with many people.  Some elegant people were sitting on the roof of the teahouse on one side, sipping tea and chanting a few words when they got interested.

    This prosperous and lively scene, in Wen Han's eyes, did not arouse the slightest shake.  He shook his head. This scene was in stark contrast to the scene ten miles outside the city.  There were homeless people walking around there, begging for money from passers-by.  Some men are even selling their wives, daughters and children.

    The scene at that time reminded Wenhan of what he saw when he first arrived outside Luoyang a year and a half ago. The more prosperous the city, the more refugees there were nearby.  There is no other reason, just because the more prosperous the city, the richer the people who live there. Most of these refugees have unrealistic dreams, hoping that when these wealthy people pass by, they will suddenly act kindly and change them with one action.  life.  I have completely forgotten that it is these people who are either rich or noble who have exploited their lives to the miserable state they are in today.

    Although Wenhan couldn't bear it, he still remembered that when he was outside Luoyang City, he rescued many refugees, but actually harmed their lives.  So they only ordered Black Wind Cavalry to leave their rations along the way, and they quickly rode away without letting these refugees chase them.  Sure enough, some refugees followed, but Heifengqi was too fast, and they gave up after a short time.

    The guard at the top of Jinyang City saw Wenhan's cavalry of about three thousand people arriving and stopped them.  Wen Han reported his identity. When the Jinyang guard heard Wen Han's name, he immediately thought of Wen Guangjun's name and was startled. He quickly led dozens of soldiers and horses down to greet him.

    Wenhan gave the document with his identity to the guard general for confirmation, and the guard general notified the governor while personally introducing Wenhan's troops into the city.  Take them all the way to the military camp in the school field to rest.  Wen Han and Guan Yu settled down the Black Wind Cavalry according to the guard's arrangements.

    At this time, the soldiers sent by Jinyang Guards to inform him also came back and said that Governor Ding had invited him.  After a while, Wenhan changed into a clean green silk and white robe and followed the soldier.  As for Guan Yu, he was not included in the invitation, so he did not follow.  Wenhan walked for a while, with a deep expression on his face, looking at the bustling streets and thinking about things.  Unconsciously, the soldier leading the way stopped.

    Wenhan looked up and saw a red vermilion-lacquered door with a black golden nanmu plaque hanging on the top, with three large characters "Provincial Governor's Mansion" inscribed with dragons and phoenixes on it.  Only then did he realize that he had arrived at Ding Yuan's mansion.  Ding Yuan had already ordered the guards at the door to enter directly without any notification if Wen Han came.

    " However, the person leading the way has changed. He is about sixty years old, but he has a hidden explosive power in his body. It is obvious at a glance that his skills are not low.  The old butler's face darkened, as if he was a man who didn't like to talk much, leading the way.  Wenhan followed the old housekeeper as he shuttled through the corridor paved with red sandalwood, and suddenly came to a place. Directly in front of him was a pearl-white wall, about two meters high, covered with black tiles and built on top.  It is undulating and wavy, with a hole in the middle for people to pass by.  The old housekeeper gave Wenhan a look and asked him to wait here.  Wenhan bowed and gave a salute to express his understanding. The old housekeeper nodded, and then left with light steps.

    Soon after entering.  The person who came from the cave entrance was not the old housekeeper, but Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou.  Ding Yuan was wearing a luxurious gold-threaded black tiger-patterned dress. His body and bones were larger than those of an average young man in his prime, and his rapidly growing muscles seemed to be about to break through the dress and burst out.

    "Hahaha. Champion, you have kept me waiting for so long. Hey, don't make any polite apology yet. You are very good, hahaha, very good! I sent someone a message a month ago, and I saw that you are quite a big boy.  After a long time, he ordered his subordinates toSome people went to inquire and learned that many Han people had gathered in front of the river. This investigation shocked the people I sent.  He hurriedly ran back to report to me.

    I just know that you, Wen Bufan, dare to attack the Qiang and Hu with a mere force of less than 3,000 troops!  Moreover, the results were good, and many Han slaves who were suffering in Qiang and Hu territory were released.  If it is true that heroes emerge from youth, I'm afraid your reputation as a champion will be even greater.  Sooner or later it will spread throughout the Han Dynasty.  There's a big reason why you're late!  Later at the banquet, I must tell you about the journey of the Qiang and Hu!  "

    Ding Yuan laughed heartily, grabbed Wenhan's hand affectionately, and entered the cave together.  Wen Han was a little flattered by Ding Yuan's title of champion. As he walked, he asked Ding Yuan not to tease him with this title.  Ding Yuan did not allow Wenhan to resist. Even after saying that it was appropriate, Wenhan had no choice but to give up.  Wen Han followed Ding Yuan, and after entering, there was a pond and a terrace.  This delicate lotus flower blooms in the pond, which is very beautiful. The fish jumps into the water and occasionally splashes into the waves.  Under the leadership of Ding Yuan, Wen Han came to the balcony. In front of it was a jade table with three jade wine bottles, two jade wine glasses, and several plates of side dishes to accompany the wine.
