Chapter 419

Duan Yu looked toward the distance of Jixian.

The heavy sound of hoofbeats was like rolling thunder, galloping from all directions of the Dongmen of Yixian toward Jixian, the dust kicked up like a yellow city wall around Jixian.

In front of Jixian gate.

Except for generals like Li Jue and Guo Si, as well as Dong Yi and Diao Chan.

Everyone's expression changed drastically.

Duan Yu looked toward the distance of Jixian and said with a smile: "Inspector Liang, the gift I prepared for you... has arrived."

Liang Hu first glanced at Duan Yu.

Then he looked into the distance.

From three directions outside the Dongmen of Jixian, three groups of cavalry, each numbering around two thousand, were galloping while kicking up yellow sand.

The earth shook, and the gravel under everyone's feet vibrated along with it.

The first group coming from the front of the Dongmen of Jixian was led by Lu Bu, riding a Jade Dragon warhorse and holding a painted halberd, and Zhang Liao.

"These two..."

Li Jue and Guo Si, standing at the front of the generals, looked at each other.

Li Jue and Guo Si did not recognize either of these two.

"I heard that when chasing Wang Rou to the Xianbei last time, we met two clansmen of the Zhang family of Mayi in Yanmen Commandery; I suppose it's about the same..." Guo Si said.

However, just as Guo Si finished speaking.

Another group of cavalry came from the north side of the Dongmen of Jixian.

Leading them were Gao Shun and Qu Yi.

Li Jue and Guo Si both recognized Gao Shun; after all, he was an old hand by Duan Yu's side.

But as for the other person beside Gao Shun, who clearly looked like a great general, Li Jue and Guo Si were once again bewildered.

Why was there another new face?

By the time Chen Qing'an and Zhang Xun appeared, the two were already a bit numb.

Three groups of cavalry.

Six great generals, four of whom they had never seen before.

"General... the capable people around the General are becoming more and more numerous," Li Jue said with a sigh.

Guo Si quickly nodded in agreement: "Yes, how much time has passed?"

"When the Eldest Miss married the General, the General only had a few villagers from the village by his side."

"Look at now..."

Speaking of this, a sense of crisis rose in Li Jue's heart: "Old Guo, we are all close people to the Eldest Miss."

"You and I, Wang Fang, Li Meng."

Guo Si nodded.

"Look at Gao Shun and the others," Li Ru said, pursing his lips: "Gao Shun, Chen Qing'an, Tie Shitou, Wang Hunu, Liu Bai Tu, these..."

"They are all people close to Lady Ren."

"Do... do you understand what I mean?" Li Jue said.

Guo Si nodded: "I understand; you mean in the future, establishing the heir..."

Duan Yu is currently the Marquis of Duting, but in the future, he will certainly be more than just the Marquis of Duting.

But there is only one hereditary title.

There is a distinction between elder and younger, legitimate and illegitimate.

Since they have already followed Duan Yu, there is no possibility of returning to Dong Zhuo's side in the future.

That is to say, in the future, within Duan Yu's group, whether one has a say depends not only on ability but also on the degree of closeness.

"Old Guo, these few times the General went to the Xiongnu, or to the Xianbei, or back to Luoyang, or as an envoy to the Xiongnu, he didn't take us."

"If this goes on for a long time, guys like us will probably be marginalized."

"Now that the General has come to Liangzhou, it can be considered our old home; this time we must perform well."

"Also, we should provide more assistance to Boji and the old home in Lintao."

Guo Si nodded upon hearing this, suddenly realizing: "Oh, I understand; is that why you kept Boji's nephew, Zhang Xiu?"

Li Jue nodded with a smile: "This kid has ability; keeping him will also add to our influence in the future."

The two nodded in tacit understanding.

While Li Jue and Guo Si were talking, the three groups of nearly six thousand cavalry had already approached Jixian.

Seeing these thousands of elite cavalry, Liang Hu's face turned somewhat pale.

However, when everyone saw clearly what was hanging on the saddles of the cavalry galloping toward Jixian, they all gasped.

"Yishan, look quickly."
