Like Chang Fang, Peng Yue had been lurking in Yingchuan for quite a long time.
After Liu Xie arrived in Xu County, the cavalry once sent a team of men to serve as the emperor's imperial guards, but for Cao Cao, how could he be willing to lay such a big nail under his eyelids?
Therefore, Cao Cao tried every means to remove Huang Xian, who was commanding the imperial guards, and then annexed the soldiers.
At that time, as Huang Xian's deputy, one was Yang Wu and the other was Peng Yue.
Huang Xian died.
Yang Wu defected to Cao Cao. As for the specific reason, perhaps only Yang Wu himself knew it.
Peng Yue took advantage of the chaos to escape. First, Mao transferred to his post as a bandit in the mountains and forests, and later contacted Fei Qian's subordinates and lurked in Yingchuan as the reserve force for Chen Bin, Chang Fang and others.
In this operation, Chang Fang died in Xinji County, and the loli snatched from Xinji County naturally became Peng Yue's responsibility. Snatching loli in later generations was a very torture matter. It started in three years, but in the big man...
Come on, let’s interview Sanye.
Third Master?
Where did the Third Master hide?
Forget it, you won’t come out anyway, everyone knows...
In the Han Dynasty, it was not a big deal to grab people or even brides in some law-descending areas.
The key is what identity the person who robs him.
If you have a high status, like the third master, you may still be a royal relative, but if you are an ordinary citizen, such as the Xiongnu Xianbei who went south to plunder every year, how many people would be written on the green bamboo?
The Han Dynasty was orderly, but not all places were orderly. Just like the area where Peng Yue was hiding now, it was actually near Bowangpo. There were many hills and forests in this area. Although this was the only way to Jingzhou, Yuzhou and Jingzhou, and merchants were constantly traveling, there were still many places that were usually no one went to.
On Bowangpo, Cao's army was stationed.
Peng Yue and two or three people lay down on the ridge on the side of Bowang slope and looked down.
Generally speaking, if Peng Yue and others pass by Bowangpo alone, then the problem is not big.
Because Bowangpo's location is within the sphere of influence of the Cao army, there are not many troops garrisons and the search is not strict in normal times.
But now it's different.
Bowangpo is already on high alert.
On the one hand, it is already winter now, and there are relatively few merchants on the road, and on the other hand, I have received warnings...
It is no wonder that the Cao army in Bowangpo is like this. In Yingchuan, there were suddenly more than twenty cavalry who could penetrate deep into the hinterland of Yingchuan. They had excellent combat power. They not only invaded the county town, but also rushed out. Although the general Cao army did not know what important military information was or what happened, this did not prevent them from ordering the streets, blocking Bowangpo from north to south and searching them strictly.
"Head, what should I do? I can't get through!" Peng Yue's subordinate asked.
I have been delayed here for two days and no flaws can be found.
Speaking of which, this is more or less a blame on Huang Zhong. If Huang Zhong hadn't been to Bowangpo before, he seemed to go home and go to the living room, Cao's army wouldn't have strengthened his troops in Bowangpo...
Cao's army strengthened its troops in Bowangpo, and of course they would not specifically notify Chang Fang and Peng Yue in Yingchuan. Therefore, when Chang Fang and Peng Yue made plans, they decided according to the previous relaxed situation, and they were stuck here.
Now let alone taking Loli to pass, even if Peng Yue and others want to pass, it will be a difficult task!
…(〒︿〒)…
Xiahou Zizang turned off the horse's back, feeling dizzy, sore waist and legs, and even the strength to scream was owed. He had been young since he was a child... Well, at least in the past few years, he had never suffered as much as he was now.
The Xiahou family was not very wealthy at the beginning, especially in the early days of the Cao family's rebellion, which was completely clean. Anyone who had three or two dates was used as military expenses, and there was really nothing at that time. In addition, at that time, almost all adults were worried about their future, afraid that the whole family would surrender that day, or they would be taken hostage to Boss Yuan, and what else would they have to educate their children well?
Of course, this cannot be blamed on adults. After all, there are children who suffer from adversity and can still grow up healthily. It can only be said that under such an environment, multiple factors have combined to form the current character of Xiahou Zizang.
Because Xiahou Zizang came out with stealing, there was not much dry food itself, and the most important thing was that no one brought much horse feed. So now, not only do people need to eat, but also have to prepare food for horses. After all, it is cold and cold at the moment. If you want the war horses to chew green, you don’t know where to chew it.
Well, even if you eat green, it can only be considered as a snack for the war horse. Once the war horse is driving forward, if it is just eat green, the consumption will be greater than the intake. In just two or three days, you will start to consume the fat stored by the war horse. Then you can see the war horse lose weight, and then gradually lose its endurance and physical strength...
Xiahou Zizang's personal guard had already jumped off his horse first, helped Xiahou Zizang find a dry place to sit down, and then said: "Master, go a little further and then you will be Bowangpo. After passing Bowangpo, you will almost arrive in Xiangyang..."
『Hu...yes!" Xiahou Zizang gritted his teeth and was ruthless, 『Yes! When he arrived in Xiangyang, his grandfather wanted to eat meat! Beef and lamb leg meat! Fat roast! Thin roast! Apply a layer of Western Region spices...hiss...』
Xiahou Zizang said that not only himself, but also the tears of the guards beside him were flowing out.
"The Lord..." The guard said helplessly, "There is Bowangpo ahead, and the road is blocked... Will this be... to stop us? If we want to go over, we have no military orders on hand..."
Xiahou Zizang was stunned and subconsciously asked, "What other way can I go around?"
The guard slowly shook his head.
Why is there a Bowangpo, not a short-straight road, or something? Isn’t it because this road is most suitable for humans to move forward? We must be careful and say that other roads cannot be taken, but we must also be clear that not everyone is reincarnated by Bei Ye.
Xiahou Zizang pondered for a moment, beat his sore legs twice, "Can you rush over, will you succeed?"
Although Xiahou Zizang said he wanted to take a detour, he could not stand it if he really wanted to take a detour.
The personal guard squatted in front of Xiahou Zizang, picked up a fallen branch and pulled it on the ground twice. "Originally, the military camp was here, but now not only has a checkpoint on the road, but also has added a lot of rejection... I can't rush over..."
For a moment, everyone was a little silent.
"Do you! What kind of military order is needed?" Xiahou Zizang suddenly slapped his hands and cursed angrily, "Who is grandpa? Grandpa is Xiahou! Get on the horse! Go straight over! Whoever doesn't let grandpa pass by, grandpa will slap whoever he wants!"
After all, he escaped, so that Xiahou Zizang was somewhat limited by his escaped thinking mode. Suddenly, Xiahou Zizang remembered that he had another identity, and suddenly became majestic. He shouted and shouted, "The horses and the whistles," which caused the birds in the surrounding forests to circulate in chaos...
…(')Ψ…
The rapid sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the Heluo land.
The official road is still relatively solid. Although it is mixed with mud and snow, compared with the surrounding mud, war horses can still be galloping. Once you leave the official road, you may say that the field is mixed with mud and water, and you will fall into it and fall down and fall.
Although the pursuers are approaching now, the possibility of rushing over in one go is still quite high!
Although Wang Chang has the awareness of being a bait, it is of course the best thing to avoid being caught or eaten.
Everyone leaned forward, minimized wind resistance as much as possible, and pressed against the horse's back, and rushed forward along the avenue in line with the ups and downs of the war horse!
Fortunately, it snowed two days ago, so most of the roads are now mixed with mud and snow. Otherwise, the smoke and dust alone would expose Wang Chang and his party from afar...
The two teams, one big and one small, were rushing along the road, and they were about to join each other!
Such an unusual situation certainly attracted the attention of the Yang family, the first force in the Heluo area.
But no matter how careful I paid attention, after reporting, I received a helpless reply, guarding the city defense and staying in the door.
That is to say, just pretend that I didn't see it...
For Yang Xiu, he was like a small country sandwiched between two major powers. The big guys from both sides could be in his body at will... Uh, he went in and out without any concealment. Although sometimes Yang Xiu couldn't help but scream, he often endured it without saying a word.
In the early years, Yang Xiu felt that Xiliang had no future, that is, Fei Qian was the rabbit's tail that could not grow and could not become a climate. This kind of cognition was of course formed by the positioning of the Yang family on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was also caused by the inertial thinking of the Shanxi gentry for one or two hundred years. Therefore, Yang Xiu tried hard to get along with Cao Cao at the beginning, and even secretly solved some small problems for Cao Cao.
However, in the subsequent evolution, Guanzhong did not decline as Yang Xiu had expected, and even became stronger and stronger. This made Yang Xiu's plan completely fail, and he had to start re-examining the relationship between him and Fei Qian...
Salted fish have dreams too.
Yang Xiu originally planned to think that the Xiliang faction under Fei Qian was unable to govern the country and could not cooperate with the Jingxiang system. The two sides would inevitably part ways and break with each other. Therefore, he had the opportunity to get the moon first. If Fei Qian collapsed, then he could rush into Guanzhong as soon as possible, enter Chang'an to collect the endgame, and successfully expand his strength and inherit the foundation of Guanzhong!
But Yang Xiu waited, the more he waited, the colder he felt!
As the dream gradually fades, the salted fish will naturally be the salted fish.
Who can't show it?
Heluo has been unable to see the hope of the future for a while, and he has been a little bit distorted. Anyway, the two big guys, just do whatever they like!
Therefore, Wang Chang fled all the way, and the Yang family ignored him, and Xiahou Shang led his people to chase him, so they also ignored him.
However, because Wang Chang and others consumed a lot of physical strength, they were gradually caught up by Xiahou Shang and others.
…(*Д*)…
Xiahou Zizang was so powerful that he rushed to the military camp checkpoint in Bowangpo.
When facing the Cao army's ordinary military academy, Xiahou Zizang performed 10% or 120% of his skills. Not only was he arrogant, but he also beaten directly with a horse whip, which immediately messed up the military camp's post.
Xiahou Zizang's roar almost ran through the sky. If he was not clear about his personality, he would not think that like the third master, he had the exclusive skills to practice in his voice...
Xiahou Zizang did not have an official position, but had a private seal. Xiahou Zizang claimed that he wanted to go to Xiangyang to find Cao Ren, and the higher yamen was looking for relatives. This reason was sufficient or not. The key was who could be serious?
Who dares to be serious?
These Cao troops were nominally the Han army, but the military rations and pay were the hands of the Cao family Xiahou family!
Although Xiahou Zizang did not have military orders, whether or not there was a military order seemed to be not a big deal in front of the word Xiahou.
The originally strict checkpoint was like paper in front of the powerful and powerful yamen. This situation immediately inspired Peng Yue, who had been observing and thinking.
Why can only be rushing and circling?
"I have a way!" Peng Yue suddenly had an idea, and he said to his subordinates, "I will go there alone, and then go to recruit reinforcements! We can't deal with these checkpoints, but someone can!"
"You mean... General Huang?" Peng Yue's subordinates also had a gaze.
It is obvious that the Cao army at these checkpoints is particularly sensitive to large-scale squads, otherwise they would not have bumped into Xiahou Zizang's horse whip.
『I still have the equipment of Cao's army...』 Peng Yue whispered, 『Obviously, the team that had just passed by did not have military orders... So, this is a good opportunity...』
Obviously, even without Xiahou Zizang's loud voice, I could not hear what Xiahou Zizang shouted. Just seeing the noise so loud, I knew that these people were not taking the formal path. If there was a military order, I would take it out directly. The matter would be over in just a few seconds. Why bother for a long time?
You know, Peng Yue was a serious imperial guard of the Han Dynasty before!
Although Peng Yue has resigned now, because he has not completed the resignation procedures, he naturally has a complete set of equipment from the Imperial Army of the Han Dynasty...
Nowadays, who knows who? Don’t they all do things based on their clothes?
As long as Huang Zhong comes, who can stop this small military camp?
…ヾ(^▽^ヾ)…
Peng Yue found a way to break the deadlock, but Wang Chang was in crisis.
Wang Chang's queue is not a team that is good at fighting. As a guard on missions, it is just some simple weapons and necessary equipment. Some sharper weapons and some more advanced equipment were not brought. This led to the fact that when Wang Chang and his team of war horses were caught up, Wang Chang and others could not give Xiahou Shang a strong counterattack, but could only be passive resistance.
Although Xiahou Shang himself was not very powerful, he knew some methods when he watched Cao Chun command the cavalry in the northern part of Youzhou, which was to let the cavalry on the left and right wings go forward along the road and head towards Wang Chang and his group like a net.
The Cao army cavalry did not hesitate to chase after the horsepower, and gradually approached Wang Chang on both sides and became parallel to Wang Chang and his group, which led to Wang Chang and others starting to take the arrows of the Cao army cavalry.
Arrows whizzing in the wind. Although it may not be ideal for accurate heads, it is like trying to draw a prize. Once you are touched, if Wang Chang and others do not have armor on their bodies, it will inevitably cause damage.
Someone on the outside was unfortunately shot. With a wail, he fell off his horse. After rolling, he disappeared into the mud and snow.
While running wildly, Wang Chang suddenly saw something in front of him that seemed to make him familiar with!
Wang Chang turned his head suddenly and looked at the woods far ahead.
In the woods, some light flashed by, and then another flash.
Wang Chang's heart suddenly jumped. He knew what this was, it was the light reflected from the bronze mirror!
This represents a signal of inquiry!
As Wang Chang, who had been at Shangshutai for a while, knew that in the Heluo area, there were actually many cavalry scouts who were cruising around. On the one hand, they were maintaining surveillance of Shandong's military, and on the other hand, they were also training troops.
Of course, as the Yang family soldiers were further disbanded, the use of Yang family soldiers to train troops could no longer meet the needs of the cavalry scouts, so some soldiers often approached the Shandong area and fought with the Cao army scouts in Chenliu or Hanoi.
If there are too many fights, of course there will be wins and losses. Sometimes, if there are few people and there are many people, Cao Jun will inevitably bite his butt and chew around. Therefore, in Heluo, there are some points that have been stationed in some cavalry scouts for a long time to prevent accidents.
Although Wang Chang was not sure where these points were, it did not prevent him from interpreting the signal that the scout in the forest used a bronze mirror!
It means there are cavalrymen here!
Wang Chang excitedly pulled out the copper whistle hanging around his neck, then put it in his mouth and blew a sharp whistle...
When Wang Chang was excited in the first few sounds, his breath was not stable and he did not blow the right rhythm. However, as he adjusted his breathing, he blew the whistle of asking for help according to the requirements of the military code.
Zhu Ling, who was in the woods ahead of Wang Chang, was startled by the sound of horse hooves on the official road early on.
As a general of Taishi Ci, Zhu Ling was promoted to the fifth-rank general after participating in the Battle of Hanzhong and returned to Hangu Pass for the first generation of garrisons.
In the past few days, Zhu Ling was taking his subordinates to not only check the military defense inside and outside Hangu Pass, but also took his people away from Tongguan area and went out to Heluo area for investigation and patrol.
Through the fallen leaves and the half-fallen tree trunk, Zhu Ling squinted and looked at the two teams of people getting closer and closer on the official road. Although the people behind were obviously like Cao's army, in order to pursue stability, Zhu Ling still sent someone a signal to identify them.
"General! Listen!" The personal guard beside Zhu Ling shouted in a low voice.
If the soldiers of the Yang family were hunted by Cao's army, they would definitely not know the meaning of the signal, and Zhu Ling would not pay attention to it. However, since the person who was chased blew a whistle of response and indicated his identity, Zhu Ling naturally could not sit idly by.
Chapter completed!
