After receiving the military information sent by Kuai Ma, Xun Yu made a rather incredible decision.
Guo Jia stared at Xun Yu and said almost in disbelief: "You are just going to let this guy named Taishi drive all the way in without stopping you at all? Are you crazy? Do you know the consequences of this?"
Xun Yu responded silently.
Guo Jia suddenly covered his head and said in pain: "I know, I know, you are actually a madman! A madman crazier than me!"
Xun Yu corrected Guo Jia's words with a straight face: "I'm not a madman."
"No! You are!" Guo Jia jumped up, pointed at the palace under construction, and said eagerly, "He is a fool, and you are a madman!"
Xun Yu's face completely darkened, he waited for Guo Jia and shouted in a low voice: "Guo Fengxiao!"
Guo Jia panted and stared at Xun Yu. The two of them were locked in a stalemate with each other like a cockfight. After a while, Guo Jia sat back on the mat slumped and said: "Anyway, my objection is of no use, right?
"
Xun Yu acquiesced, and after a long time he uttered a few words: "The two Yuan... are both traitors to the country..."
"Alas..." Guo Jia let out a long sigh and remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "...I have a feeling... you will regret it in the future..."
…………………………
More than a dozen Yuan Jun sentries lazily rode forward.
This is thirty miles south of Chaoge County, close to Yanjin, and belongs to Hanoi, Chenliu, and Dongjun, an area with no control.
Yuan Jun's sentinel moved forward slowly.
This area has been on the edge of three counties for many years. In addition, when the Black Mountain bandits were still there, they often used this route to loot the surrounding counties and help the people. Therefore, everything around
, they are all deserted and desolate, with some dilapidated houses and abandoned fields in the mountains and forests, but there are not many people in them. Normally, it should be the time when spring plowing is busy, top dressing and weeding are needed, but these fields have long been
It was deserted, with only tall weeds and no crops.
Occasionally there are some dilapidated villages, which are like ghost lands, with only one or two scrawny wild dogs wandering around in them. They don't bark when they see people, they just stand there and stare with red eyes.
Such dangerous mountains and rivers, such a chaotic scene, and there are no large groups of enemy troops around, plus these Yuan Jun sentries are just a routine matter. After all, Chaoge has hoarded some food and grass and is preparing to transfer it to Hanoi, so some scouts must be sent out.
The sentry came to check the surrounding situation, but even if there are some mountain bandits and road tyrants around, who dares to provoke the powerful General Yuan?
Therefore, Yuan Jun's dozen or so sentinels were all very relaxed and lazy, without any nervousness in the face of battle. They walked for a while, rested for a while, talked and laughed, and just slowly checked the surrounding situation. When they arrived at the end of the field
After that, he turned around and went back, which was considered to have completed the day's sentry duty.
These scouts and sentinels actually became monks on the way. They were originally private soldiers of the noble families of Jizhou. Because they had been exposed to war horses since they were young, their riding skills were better than those of ordinary people. This time Chunyu Qiong went south to Hanoi, and these riding skills were relatively good.
The good private soldiers of the family naturally added to the ranks of the scouts.
But such a hard march is really uncomfortable for these guys who changed jobs halfway. After all, not everyone can enjoy the days of sleeping in the open air, plus working hard on horseback every day, even if
These scouts were quite skilled in riding skills, and they gradually began to complain.
Strictly speaking, because the work of sentry scouts is relatively intensive and high-risk, the treatment in the army has always been upwards, and sometimes even some meat supplements are provided, but the problem is that this standard is not the same as that of ordinary soldiers.
Comparatively speaking, for these guys who originally served as thugs and fighting forces in the family, it is extremely difficult to live without food and wine, and without women, it is simply a life-threatening situation!
All of them are full of resentment, so whenever they are close to any county or village, they want meat or wine, needless to say, they also have to arrange women in these villages and counties...
Although the county magistrate of Chaoge felt unhappy, for Yuan Shao's sake, he thought it would be better to do less than to do more. Anyway, there was war in the surrounding area and there were a lot of refugees. If that didn't work, he just took a bag of pancakes and walked to the refugee shed.
Circle, just sell some women and come back, anyway, there are many people who want to sell a pancake for one woman!
Even so, these semi-monastic guys didn't dare to say anything to General Yuan, but they didn't have so many scruples about Chun Yuqiong. Even the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army was still chattering behind his back.
.
Chunyu Qiong's advance was not very fast. He followed the standard marching distance, which was forty miles a day, and never walked more. When he arrived, he set up camp. This was extremely safe, which also led to Chunyu Qiong's still standing after more than ten days.
Circling around Hanoi County.
I really don’t know how long we will stay here. Although everyone is too lazy to fight, they all want to finish the fight early and return to Jizhou early. After all, not everyone is willing to endure this military life.
, As for the shabby military merits, whoever wants it wants to go. Anyway, coming to this trip is also required by the family, and these people are not coming willingly.
The group of people went up a slope. The team leader got off his horse and beat his legs, which were a little blocked. He couldn't help complaining: "Damn it, I walk every day and look at it every day. In these shabby places, there is nothing good-looking.
! There is an enemy! Forget it... I won’t leave, just stay here, if there is anything else to eat, take it out to deal with it and fill your stomach. Although there is nothing delicious, just don’t be hungry! "
Another sentry touched his head and said stupidly: "Are we here? Why don't we go down? If everyone in the army finds out about this, won't they be whipped?"
The squad leader just glared at his subordinates fiercely: "I'll beat you! I'll whip you! If I don't say it, if you don't say it, if everyone doesn't say it, who the hell knows that we only go this far? Anyway, this is the way to go.
I have been walking back and forth for several days, but there are no bird feathers at all! If you are willing to run, just run forward on your own!"
As soon as the team leader said that, the remaining few also said in a hurry: "That's right, that's right, they are all deserted villages with no people, and they can't even drink a sip of good well water. Who the hell are you?"
Whoever runs forward with love is a fool! Anyway, we just look at the sun and walk back. If no one tells us, who can know how far we have gone?"
"Damn it, it should have been like this a long time ago! My calves are getting thinner after running around every day!"
More than a dozen sentinels dismounted one after another and led their horses to the heights of the mountains next to the road. When the mountain wind blew, the hot sweat on their bodies dried up, and everyone felt loose, and some even took off their leather armor.
He picked it off and threw it on the ground. He picked off the water hyacinth, took out the dry food bag, poured out the fried rice to fill his belly, and also gave the war horse a few mouthfuls. The team leader looked at the fried rice in his hand and complained even more:
"Look at the quality of this, there's such a big fucking piece of sand! My teeth almost broke! Is this fucking food for people? These guys suck the blood of soldiers!"
Several detectives sat down and spread their legs. Several other detectives gathered together and chattered something, and then their eyebrows were beaming, showing the look of big pig's hooves that only men can have. "Mr. Wang
Three, yesterday I saw you following the widow of the Zhang family into the haystacks! Hahaha, does it feel good or not?"
That Wang Lao San laughed and said: "I feel so good or not, I'm hungry to the bone. If I didn't see how pitiful she is, I wouldn't go to her! It's so boring. If someone has a spear in his crotch, it's neat and neat."
It is said that in Yecheng, Baozhun's treatment made the women moan and scream, but this damn one is good, but you can use all your strength on her, but she still just grabs the pancake!"
Wang Laosan spoke louder, and even the team leader on the side was attracted, laughing and scolding: "You are such a pervert! You can do it just like that..."
But at this moment, someone didn't know who it was, and the water hyacinth in his hand fell to the ground. He didn't pick it up, but just pointed to the distance: "Captain... look at that... captain!"
The squad leader laughed and cursed, as if he was a little reluctant to talk about the topic just now, but when he saw the strange behavior of the soldiers, his smile froze, he stood up and turned around to take a look, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
Those who serve as scouts must have good eyesight. They can see the number of flags in the military camp during the day, and can distinguish the lights dozens of miles away at night. Even the wind and grass cannot escape a pair of sharp eyes. They can immediately see the scene in front of them clearly.
Piles of defeated soldiers, just supporting each other, dragging their feet from a distance, walking slowly!
Standing at a high place, you can even see clearly. Except for a few people, everyone has lost an arm. There is a large amount of blood stasis on the wound. Everyone has a dull expression and just stumbles forward.
We left without a flag, and we didn’t see anyone leading the way, but judging from the tattered robes, it seemed that they belonged to our own family...
Although they were fighting to the death in Youbei, the area around Hanoi County has calmed down since the Black Mountain bandits were dealt with. They haven't seen fighting for a long time, let alone seeing their own troops and horses in such a miserable state!
The incident happened so suddenly that the team leader of Yuan Jun's sentinel was a little confused. After a long pause, he suddenly reacted, whistled sharply, and quickly got on his horse with his subordinates who were also stunned, and walked along the official road.
He ran over. The defeated soldiers of Yuan Jun also saw the figure of this group of Yuan Jun sentinels. The team erupted with a buzz. Not to mention those who were still intact, the defeated soldiers who had one of their arms cut off also screamed in pain.
The shouting voice is just limping towards here!
"What the fuck is going on?"
More than a dozen riders came to the block, and after meeting them, they fell into the crowd. Every defeated soldier seemed to be shouting with his mouth open, reaching out his hands to pull, asking for water, dry food, and white cloth to wrap his wounds.
Everyone seemed to be shouting, but they were all mixed together. Some defeated soldiers could not help but point their heads behind them, not knowing what they were saying. For a while, it was impossible to hear who was saying what. There was only one thing the same.
On the face of the defeated soldier, there was only a look of heartbreak!
"Shut up! Shut the hell up!" The squad leader got angry, pulled out his sword and shouted, "Where is your leader? Who is in charge? Stand up and speak!"
In front of the shining swords, these defeated soldiers finally regained some sense. After a while, a few people walked out from the group of defeated soldiers, holding a broken arm and saying in pain: "Defeated! It's over! Yanjin Ferry was defeated.
The Zhengxi soldiers made a sneak attack, and Qu Chang and his team were all killed! We were defeated! Except for the dead, the rest are here... The Zhengxi soldiers are so poisonous, so poisonous! As long as they don't surrender voluntarily, they will all be killed.
One hand was cut off! Wuwuwu..."
Several defeated soldiers with complete hands and feet lowered their heads silently and did not make a sound.
"...General Zhengxi drove us back to ask us to bring a message to the general...say, say...say..."
"What are you talking about? Say it quickly!" The captain of the sentinel detective team couldn't help but roared angrily.
"Said... the general doesn't know the heights of the sky, and if he dares to march to the north, he will definitely be defeated... Ah! This is not what I said, it was said by the general who conquered the west..."
The captain of the sentry team endured it, put away his sword, and then asked: "How many troops are there in Zhengxi?"
"How many people? I don't know...many, many, many more than our people..."
"You!" The captain of the sentry team was so angry that he wanted to chop this guy with a knife, but he turned around and put away the knife. He must not report the rebellious words he made before, otherwise he might be hit by the knife.
On myself.
The captain of the sentry team was shocked and angry, but after all, he still had some sense of military law and knew the importance of timely transmission of military information. Therefore, he rode out of the crowd, whistled, summoned all his men, and loudly ordered: "You! Come back!"
With you! Go back quickly and report this to General Chunyu! He said that the generals sent by Zhengxi have captured Yanjin and are coming straight here! There are many soldiers and horses, at least... at least more than two... three.
No, five thousand!”
The two Yuan Jun sentries took the order, turned their horses, and galloped away.
Another sentry came over and whispered: "Captain, then...should we go south...Zhengxi defeated Yanjin, and we don't know where we ended up..."
The captain of the sentry squad rolled his eyes and slapped a sentry on the head: "Idiot!" Then without any explanation, he gathered everyone together and took the defeated soldiers and continued heading north.
Wang Laosan staggered to the side of the slapped sentinel and whispered: "You are an idiot... There are so many people in Yanjin who can't be saved, but you and I go up to check, check
What the hell! It’s not about death! Anyway, we sent the general back, so this job is over... If we want to check Yanjin’s generals for the expedition to the west, that’s the next wave of scouts..."
