Although it seemed quite satisfying to shout out so loudly when we finally left Hangu Pass, in fact, Fei Qian really suffered a big loss this time.
The original plan for the second transportation was to have Huang Xu lead thirty soldiers and escorts from the Cui family, but then something happened with Li Ru setting up a jam, and the plan had to be rearranged.
So this second time, we actually brought a total of forty soldiers plus thirty Cui family guards, a total of more than seventy people. But now those who finally escaped from Hangu Pass include Fei Qian himself.
There are only thirty-four people.
More of his own soldiers survived, but among the thirty guards of the Cui family, only ten escaped alive.
As for minor injuries, such as scratches, injuries from swords and guns, or burns from flames, needless to say, I basically brought some with me.
Even Huang Cheng, who Fei Qian had always thought was extremely brave and skilled in martial arts, was slightly injured when he sprinted towards the air tower in the end. His arm was cut open by the tip of a spear. After all, the air tower has steps from bottom to top.
The exit is small and cannot be moved.
Fei Qian himself has always been well protected by Huang Cheng, Huang Xu and others, but due to the smoky fire and the fact that he was fleeing all the way, it was not much better. A large piece of his hair was burned by the flames, and it was like a hand when he touched it.
He was covered in black powder, and his palms and arms were bruised from climbing over the wall. There were also spots on his face and body because he didn't control his strength when descending out of the barrier. He had a close contact with the city wall, and there were some bruises...
But no matter what, Fei Qian, Huang Cheng, Huang Xu and others survived.
The baggage was trapped in the pass, especially the second batch of books in the Cai Mansion...
Fei Qian frowned, not knowing whether the fire in the post house had affected those letters. You must know that neither the paper nor the letters are fire-resistant. If it is damaged, almost all the books in the Cai Mansion will be lost.
A piece!
Damn Zheng Ke!
By now, Fei Qian naturally understood what Zheng Ke's plan was. Unfortunately, even if he knew it now, there was nothing he could do. With only these thirty people left, could he really kill them and hide behind them?
Zheng Ke first set a fire last night, and he also set one when he left Hangu Pass. However, after all, Hangu Pass was prepared for war when it was built, so it is quite strong. It was not like these two fires.
It can be burned down.
The city gate may have been burned down, but that thing is just big copper rivets, iron bars, and thick wood. Although Fei Qian and others poured kerosene on it, it only served to block the pursuers.
For some, it is almost impossible to completely burn down the door. After dawn, some craftsmen will be sent to seize the time to repair it and it can be basically restored.
At most, it only dampened the morale of Zheng Kui and others...
Fei Qian smiled mockingly to himself. He seemed to be getting better recently, so he felt a little relaxed. He didn't notice anything wrong with Zheng Ke at all, or maybe even though he noticed it, he didn't take it to heart.
Zheng Ke just wanted to use the geographical advantage of Hangu Pass to strangle Dong Zhuo's neck in moving the capital. The so-called yellow scarf thieves west of Hangu Pass are probably the private soldiers of the gentry in Hongnong County, so as to avoid the surveillance of the Mianchi Camp.
Secretly gathered together...
Fei Qian thought about it and couldn't help but admire the people behind the scenes, but now, let's get out of danger first!
After escaping Hangu Pass, Zheng Ke obviously would not send anyone to pursue him for thousands of miles, because Zheng Ke had more important things to do, so Fei Qian was not too worried about the pursuit of soldiers, but that he was eating and drinking along the way.
New survival problem!
Huang Cheng had already taken a few people to look for some food, but now he and his group had no cooking utensils and no fire - the previous torches had burned out before it was fully dawn. The most important thing was that they had no cooking utensils and no fire.
There is no dry food. The journey from Hanguguan to Gucheng will take at least two or three days. Even if we speed up the journey, it will still take two days...
If you don't eat or drink for a whole meal, you can get through it. But if you don't eat or drink for a whole day, it will be quite a problem. Besides, you have to be active and on the road. If you don't take supplements, you may really die.
Although Fei Qian knew that people could go three days without drinking water, that would be at the expense of internal organ failure, not to mention that people like him had to walk, let alone three days, even if they did not drink water for one day, they would probably become dehydrated immediately.
Severe cases may even lead to coma.
Fortunately, there are mountains to the north of the Hangu Pass official road that are difficult to climb, but as soon as you leave the entrance of the Hangu Pass pass, the mountains to the north gradually decrease. Therefore, if it is not possible, you can use the water in the Yellow River.
After all, the Yellow River in the Han Dynasty was not considered yellow yet.
But the food...
This is trickier.
There are more than thirty mouths, and they are all men. If you eat freely, there is no problem in eating more than one stone of food in one meal. Two meals a day, based on two days, will cost at least four stones.
Food and grass are enough, but now, let alone four stones, not even four buckets...
After a while, Huang Cheng came back with a few people. He carried some small things in his clothes. When he got in front of Fei Qian, he put them down and opened them. They were just some mushrooms and bird eggs...
Huang Cheng said with some embarrassment: "I walked around and didn't encounter any animals. I only found these things..."
Fei Qian first picked up a mushroom and looked at it. Although he was not an expert in survival in the wild, most people should not try mushrooms easily. Although about half of the types of mushrooms are non-toxic,
But there is another half that is poisonous. What’s even more exaggerated is that only brightly colored mushrooms are not necessarily poisonous. White mushrooms may also be poisonous mushrooms...
Bird eggs are still a good supplement, but the quantity is indeed a bit small...
As for the lack of prey or wild fruits or other things, it is reasonable. After all, this is an official road, and people and horses come and go. Who would run here if he was not a stupid animal?
Besides, it's just spring, and there aren't many flowers. Where are the wild fruits?
You're lucky to find these eggs!
Fei Qian picked a smaller bird egg and wiped it casually on his clothes. In fact, the clothes were not much clean, but it was just a psychological comfort. He said: "Uncle, forget the mushrooms, one is
It's not convenient to cook now, and it's not easy to tell whether it's poisonous or not, so just eat these eggs and share the rest with everyone."
"Okay!" Huang Cheng didn't show any pretense. He greeted everyone, and then he grabbed an egg himself. Without even wiping it, he threw the shell into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then ate it.
…
The corner of Fei Qian's eye twitched when he saw it. You are not afraid of bird eggshells hurting your stomach...
