Chapter 412
Zhong Tian was stunned for a moment, blinked, and said, "Xiao Shang, the head of Gaochuan County, is my cousin. He must be loyal to me." Zhan Wushuang's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Where is Xiao Shang now?"
"It should still be in Zhangyu, the county seat of Gaochuan County." "Oh? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhan Wushuang said in a deep voice, "Let's go to Zhangyu now!" Zhong Tian sighed secretly. Although Zhangyu is not located in
The hinterland of Feng Country, but not on the way to Mo Country. Zhan Wushuang has always advocated going straight to Mo Country. How did he give himself a chance to speak? But it was useless to argue at this time. Zhong Tian nodded and said:
"Okay! Let's go to Zhangyu." Zhangyu is located in the northeast of Baguan. The distance is at least five hundred miles. With Zhong Tian and Ning Jun's current condition, it is not easy to reach Zhangyu.
, and more importantly, they are now afraid that Tang Yin from behind will chase them and they dare not take the official road, so they can only walk through the barren mountains and ridges. In this way, the journey will be more difficult and the delay will be longer.
After leaving Ba Pass, in the evening of that day, they walked to an uninhabited grassland and looked around. There were weeds everywhere they looked. It was difficult to find some wild fruits to fill their stomachs. Even Zhan Wushuang sat on his horse until he was hungry.
Shaking, one can imagine the condition of the soldiers below.
Seeing that his brother could no longer hold on, Zhan Wudi made everyone stop moving forward, and then asked: "Does anyone have anything to eat?" Everyone looked at each other, and no one said anything. If there was anything to eat, it would have been eaten long ago, so how could it be left behind?
Until now?
Seeing no one answered, Zhan Wudi sighed quietly: "Don't we even have a bite of food now?" At this time, a spy leader of the Ning Army came forward, grabbed the carrier pigeon that delivered the message, and presented it to Zhan Wudi.
As soon as he handed it over, he swallowed and said: "Invincible General, if... you are really too hungry, just... just eat this carrier pigeon!" "This..." Zhan Wudi looked at the carrier pigeon, feeling sad in his heart, and almost fell down.
I burst into tears. I had been in the army for more than 20 years. When had I been so miserable that I had to eat carrier pigeons to satisfy my hunger? What’s more, this little carrier pigeon is not even enough to fit between my teeth. But something is better than nothing, I
It's nothing, but the eldest brother is a scholar. He can't bear such suffering and his body bones can't stand up. Eat what you can! Thinking about it, Zhan Wudi reached out to take the pigeon over without saying a word, pinched the pigeon's head with one hand, and held the pigeon's head with the other.
He grabbed its body and tried to break its neck.
Just as he was about to exert his strength, Zhan Wushuang, who was on the horse, suddenly stopped and said, "Wudi, wait a minute!" After saying that, he looked at the spy leader and asked, "Is this carrier pigeon leading to the capital Liangzhou?"
"Yes, General Wushuang!" The spy leader nodded and responded.
Zhan Wushuang's heart moved, and his eyes quickly turned. After thinking for a long time, he turned to Zhong Tiandao and said, "Your Majesty, since your cousin Xiao Shang is the head of the county, he must have many soldiers under his command, right?"
Tian pondered for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "Well... I'm really not sure. There should be about 10,000 to 20,000 troops." "10, 20,000 troops..." Zhan Wushuang murmured,
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind, and a plan came to mind. He smiled at Zhan Wudi and said, "Wudi, we may still have the possibility to break through the overlord barrier." "Oh?" Zhan Wudi, Zhong Tian and others were all very excited after hearing this.
Zhan Wushuang asked, "What method should be used?" Zhan Wushuang pointed to the carrier pigeon in Zhan Wudi's hand and said, "I will write a letter to the king right now, requesting the king to send someone to negotiate with the Mo Kingdom so that the Mo Kingdom can send troops to attack Ba Pass.
The current strength of Baguan cannot stop the Mo army no matter what. As long as the Mo army captures Baguan, wouldn't it be easy for us to escape from the Feng Kingdom?" "That's right!" After hearing this, Zhan Wudi patted himself in realization.
Head, with the relationship between Ningxia and Mo, as long as the king is willing to come forward, Mo will definitely help itself. Moreover, capturing Ba Pass will also bring huge benefits to Mo. Mo has no reason to refuse. Zhan Wudi said with a smile:
"Brother, this is a good idea, let's do it!" "Yeah! I'll write a letter to the king right now." At this time, Zhan Wushuang couldn't find paper and pen, so he could only tear a strip from his clothes and bite his own
With his index finger, he wrote a blood letter in blood, imploring King Yan Chu of Ning to use the relationship between Ning and Mo to help them.
Zhan Wudi looked down at the carrier pigeon in his hand and sighed secretly. Fortunately, he had to move slowly, otherwise, he would have ruined his only way of survival.
After Zhan Wudi finished writing in blood, he folded it carefully and tied it to the pigeon's leg. Then he held the pigeon in both hands, prayed silently for a while, then raised his arms fiercely into the air and released the pigeon. It can be said that they are a group of people.
Whether people can get out of trouble depends on whether this homing pigeon can deliver the message back to Ningdu Liangzhou.
After the carrier pigeons were released, everyone finally saw a glimmer of hope, but hope alone was not enough. Everyone was still hungry and couldn't even walk.
At this time, Zhan Wushuang had no choice but to order his own war horse to be killed and the horse meat shared. For a general, especially a literary general like Zhan Wushuang, a war horse is equivalent to his second life. Without a war horse,
Once you encounter an enemy, the possibility of survival is extremely small, but you can't control that much now. You have to save your life first.
The meat of one war horse was not enough to fill the stomachs of more than a hundred soldiers. Fortunately for the generals, the soldiers below barely ate a few mouthfuls, but drank a lot of broth, which in turn whetted their appetites.
, people looked around, and finally, their eyes fell on the last war horse in the army, Zhong Tian's war horse.
Seeing everyone's intentions, Zhong Tian hurriedly stood up, walked to his horse, and said loudly: "This war horse has been following me for many years. No one can try to take advantage of it." Has his horse been following him for many years?
Zhong Tianyou didn't know, but he knew that once he lost his horse and walked to Zhangyu on two legs, he would be exhausted to death.
It was better if he didn't speak. As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers stood up one after another, some with swords and some with guns, and walked towards Zhong Tian silently. No one spoke, but everyone's eyes were filled with laughter.
They all emitted a strange light, and under their gaze, Zhong Tiandu felt as if he had been stripped naked and became a meal for the soldiers.
Just when the soldiers were about to approach Zhong Tian, Zhui Feng Sword stepped in front of Zhong Tian and stared at everyone coldly.
There was no need to speak or release spiritual pressure. He simply stood here and no one dared to take a step forward. This was a sign of strength.
Zhui Fengjian may not like Zhong Tian very much, but he is very trustworthy, and Shenchi's regulations in this regard are also extremely strict. Since he accepts money from people, he must eliminate disasters for people.
Seeing that the Zhui Feng Swordsmen all stood up and that the soldiers under his command had no intention of retreating, Zhan Wushuang frowned and winked at Zhan Wudi beside him.
There are still many places where they have to rely on Zhong Tian, not to mention that Zhuifeng Sword is not that easy to mess with.
Zhan Wudi understood, stood up and shouted: "What are you doing? Come back here and sit down!" Under Zhan Wudi's shout, all the soldiers looked at each other, put down their weapons one after another, swallowed their saliva one by one, and sat back down.
In situ.
"These damn bastards still want to eat my war horse..." Zhong Tian looked at Sergeant Ning and muttered angrily through gritted teeth.
Zhui Fengjian glanced back at him and walked away silently without saying a word.
Zhong Tian, the Zhan brothers and others walked to Zhangyu for another two days. The wilderness gradually became scarcer and the mountains gradually increased. They could not walk through the mountains and had to bravely go up to the official road. That day
, walking forward, suddenly saw dust flying in front, flags fluttering, and a large army of troops and horses approaching.
Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Invincible, Zhong Tian and others were all shocked. At this time, they were on a mountain road with cliffs on both sides, and there was no place to hide. What should they do? Zhong Tian was sweating profusely, fighting
Wushuang said anxiously: "General Wushuang, let's... let's run!" "Run? With our physical strength, how can we outrun the enemy?" Zhan Wushuang smiled bitterly, and then shouted loudly to the left and right: "Fan Wo Ning Jun"
Brothers are ready to fight! Even if we are to die on the battlefield today, we must not insult the reputation of our Ning Army!" "Yes!" The soldiers below are also risking their lives. The hardships in the past few days have already made them intolerable. Instead of living and suffering, it is better to fight vigorously.
died in battle! At this time, no one in the Ning army was afraid of death, and everyone was determined to fight to the death.
But Zhong Tian didn't want to die yet. Seeing more than a hundred Ning soldiers getting into a fighting stance, he felt angry and funny. Without saying a word, he turned his horse's head and said to Zhuifengjian: "Let's go!"
, he urged his horse to run, but when he saw Zhui Fengjian standing still, Zhong Tian became anxious and rode up to him, whispering: "Do you want to die with Ning Jun? Run with me quickly!"
"Your Majesty, the incoming army is flying the flag of the Peng Kingdom!" Zhui Fengjian squinted his eyes, looked ahead, and suddenly said.
"What?" Hearing this, Zhong Tian was startled and hurriedly raised his head to look at the road ahead. Because the distance was too far, he could only vaguely see the outline of the opponent's army, but he couldn't see clearly what the flag was. "You...
…You read that correctly, right?” “It’s absolutely not wrong.” Zhui Fengjian answered simply.
"This..." Zhong Tian couldn't figure it out at this moment. He didn't know whether the troops coming from the front were enemy troops or friendly troops.
As the army in front gradually approached, the Tanma in the army rushed over first.
I saw several Peng soldiers in red armor riding war horses, rushing towards them at a distance of more than ten meters. They all reined in their horses and shouted loudly: "Who are you?" Look clearly.
The soldiers on the other side were indeed wearing Peng Army armor and military uniforms. Zhong Tian suddenly became energetic. Before anyone else could speak, he urged his horse to take two steps, took a deep breath, and asked: "I am Peng King Zhong Tian, who are you?"
