Chapter 5 Out of the Valley
Hearing the words of Zhang Laoyu and others, more than 20 people surrounded him and said, "We too." Don't wait for tomorrow, decide to go with Ori Gongzi now! "More and more people came up with it.
Di Yu said: "What is it like? Zhen Gongzi has already said that he will make a decision tomorrow, and I will go back and think it through! Everyone was about to disperse, Yang Yingqi suddenly said: "Zhang Laoyu, wait, you take some people to clean up the guys who can be taken away in the kiln, and prepare to distribute weapons to those who are going to leave tomorrow." ”
Zhang Laoyu was overjoyed and took the order. In the past few months, Yang Yingqi has often "passed orders on behalf of Zhi Yanchong", and at this time, Zhang Laoyu and others listened to his orders, and they only regarded it as Zhi Yanchong's arrangement.
Yang Yingqi said to Zhou Sheng again: "A few of you go with Brother Kaiyuan to build some fake graves!" ”
Then, let Ouyang Shi bring a few people to guard the valley mouth, and let Di Yu take some people to sweep the snow on the platform. There are not many things, and those who should be busy have rested until the third watch.
On the fifth watch of the second day, everyone lined up, only seven people remained in the shed, and none of the one hundred and four principal and deputy captains was absent. Zhi Yanchong was moved in his heart and distributed rations and weapons to everyone. Some particularly strong people also carry some must-have items. These 500 people can be regarded as a lightly armed army.
Chen Ahou has already added several ropes, these hundreds of people have good innate qualities, and after several months of training, their skills are quite vigorous. But it still took half a day for all 500 people to go up, but fortunately, the arrow ladder was very reliable and there were no accidents.
Zhi Yanchong, Di Yu, Ouyang Shi, Yang Kaiyuan, and Aru Man each led ten squads, Di Yu's team was at the front, followed by Aru Man's team, Zhi Yanchong's team was in the middle, and Ouyang Shi's team was behind.
Zhi Yan Chong was walking, and suddenly Yang Yingqi ran over and whispered: "Big brother, Ouyang didn't burn the arrow ladder rope, he let the team go first, and he took Liu Qizhu back." ”
Zhi Yanchong's heart moved, and he ordered the team to continue to move forward with Aluman's team, and he hurried back, just as he saw Ouyang Shi about to climb down the valley. When he saw Zhi Yanchong, he was stunned for a moment, and crawled back, while Liu Qi stood next to him.
Orihiko said, "Why are you going?" ”
Ouyang Shi said: "I forgot something, go back and get it." ”
Orihiko rushed: "Really? How can I see the murderous look on your faces. ”
Liu Qi lowered his head, Ouyang Shi snorted, and said, "That's right, I'm just going back to slaughter those seven guys!" ”
Orihiko said angrily: "What are you! ”
"What? to prevent future troubles. Ouyang Shi said: "Although you have left them a way back, I dare to say that these guys will definitely run to snitch!" In that case, our team won't be able to get far, and there will be pursuers catching up soon! For the sake of these five hundred, I must slaughter those seven!" ”
Orihiko shouted: "No! ”
Ouyang Shi said: "No? How did you become so kind to a woman? ”
Orihiko said: "I don't want the kindness of a woman, but I want to keep our promise!" Since we promised not to hurt them, we can't talk and don't count! There is still a long way to go, and we can't just take the first step and be treacherous, in that case, how can you convince people in the future? ”
At this time, Yang Yingqi had already caught up, but he just watched from the sidelines and did not interject.
Ouyang Shi glanced at Yang Yingqi and continued to say to Zhi Yan: "Do you know that if these people go to snitch, five hundred people will be killed by you!" ”
Zhi Yan said: "They abandon their partners who have shared weal and woe for so long, their conscience must be a little guilty, coupled with their awe of us, they should stay in the shed for a while and dare not come out." As long as we burn this arrow ladder, even if they really go to inform, it will take some time for the Khitans to determine our location. By then, we'll be far away! We took a mountain road, and the Khitan cavalry couldn't catch up. ”
Yang Yingqi knew that if Zhi Yanchong "knew the righteousness" of Ouyang Shi, Ouyang Shi would definitely scoff at him, but as soon as Zhi Yanchong analyzed it, Ouyang Shi nodded and said: "Although your statement is not a foolproof strategy, there is still some truth. Well, I'll listen to you this time! Liu Qi, ignition! ”
After everyone came up, Chen Ahou had stuffed a matchmaker on the arrow ladder and wrapped a dry rope as a guide, and the matter of burning the rope was originally in charge of Ouyang Shi's deputy Liu Qi, at this time Liu Qi lit the dry rope with a torch, and the ice melted and gradually fell.
Zhi Yan said: "No matter what I say, I am still the leader, don't make such a self-assertion about this kind of thing in the future!" Unless you abolish me first. ”
Ouyang Shi smiled: "Got it, Folded Boy!" ”
Seeing this, Yang Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that Ouyang Shi was not completely convinced of Zhi Yanchong's leadership, and today's incident might have some impact on the consolidation of Zhe Yanchong's leadership power.
As he was talking, Yang Kaiyuan rushed over and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Orihiko rushed: "It's nothing. Let's go. ”
Five hundred people walked along the mountain path, and the area was quite desolate, and they did not meet a single family along the way. There were only a few mowers, but when they saw the marching momentum, they were frightened away from afar.
After walking for three days, Yang Yingqi, who was walking in front of him, was taken aback by Yang Yingqi, who was walking in front with Di Yu, and Di Yu said: "Don't worry, it's just two rides." ”
Not long after, sure enough, I saw two horsemen walking in, and Di Yu said: "Most of them are the Song Dynasty's waiting cavalry (scout cavalry)." "Ordered to stop. Orihiko rushed forward when he heard the news.
As the two horsemen approached, they seemed very strange to the procession: they were soldiers, and their clothes were too tattered; It is said that it is a homeless robber, but the procession of these people is neater than that of the regular army of the Great Song Dynasty!
The two knights seemed to discuss for a moment, one of them retreating, and the other riding forward.
Di Yu said to Yang Yingqi: "The one who came forward is here to listen to the news, and the one who stepped back is to prevent accidents." If the one who comes forward is released by us, the other person will flee back to report the news. ”
As he spoke, the knight had already entered, and Lerma asked, "Who are you?" Is it the army of Liao, or where did the robbers come from! ”
Yang Yingqi took a closer look at this knight, and saw that he was only ten years old, with a cyan birthmark on his neck, thick shoulders and a round waist, riding an inferior horse, and his whole body was full of spirit.
Di Yu hugged his fists and said: "In Xia Di Yu, behind these are all good people of the Han family. ”
The knight was stunned for a moment and said, "Di Yu? Di Daxia, who set fire to the Khitan granary a few years ago? ”
Di Yu heaved and said, "I didn't expect anyone to know about this matter." ”
The knight said: "The soldiers on the border, I have heard more of your legends, but legends are legends, but I don't know how many are credible!" However, everyone also knows that although you are not in the army and are disdained by the generals, what you do is obviously still in the heart of the Great Song. ”
Di Yu said: "It's hard to talk about the Great Song Dynasty, but I am worthy of being a man from the Han family, but I dare to say it!" This little general, I don't know what to call it? ”
The knight said, "The general doesn't dare to be." I'm just a little temple straight. My surname is Cao, the word Guangbi, hey! So far, I haven't achieved anything, but I have insulted this surname. Without further ado, who are you? ”
Yang Yingqi didn't know how big an official Dianzhi was, and because he was a "child", it was not easy to interject in this situation.
Di Yu said: "I have already said that this is a good citizen of the Han family. We couldn't stand the oppression of the Khitans and didn't want to be slaves of other races, so we decided to go south, hoping that the imperial court would be able to accommodate us. ”
Cao Guangbi said: "If it is an ordinary civilian, how can there be such a neat march!" ”
Di Yu said: "This is a long story. "Give the order backwards, let the five hundred people sit down and wait. Then I told everything about the past few months. He is concise and to the point, but he has a good grasp of the key points.
Cao Guangbi forced Di Yu's eyes to look at him while speaking, and said in his heart: "This person's eyes are not slanted when he speaks, and most of his words are true." He glanced at Yang Yingqi and said in his heart: "If it is a spy or an army that comes to sneak attack, it will not bring women, girls and children." ”
asked a few more details, Di Yu told him frankly, Cao Guangbi scrutinized them one by one, and believed a little more in his heart. While the two were talking, more than 500 people sat on the ground without even a little movement, Cao Guangbi secretly admired: "Even the forbidden army has no such discipline!" The faces of these people don't look like the Khitan army - in fact, most of the Khitan army doesn't have this discipline! This Di Yu is really a talent. ”
He didn't know that this was not just Di Yu's credit, but also Zhi Yanchong, Yang Yingqi and others also played a considerable role. And more importantly, these 500 people grew up under the threat of death, and all of them have experienced the baptism of death, so their spiritual outlook is far better than that of the Liao and Song Dynasty soldiers who have been desolate for a long time.
Cao Guangbi was about to speak, when suddenly there was a commotion from behind, but the person sitting in front of him was still sitting without getting an order. After a while, Liu Qi ran over and said, "Deed...... The cavalry of the Khitans! ”
