Chapter 161: Merge with the State Feiyan

The drizzle of fish comes out, and the breeze swallows slanting. ----------Tang Dynasty. Du Fu "Water Threshold Relief Heart"

It is said that Chen Longqi's soldiers attacked Luo, robbed the emperor and destroyed Dong, and succeeded in one fell swoop. In front of Wang Yun, he was lucky enough to save Cai Yong's life, and immediately took Cai Yong and his family to withdraw his troops out of the city, determined to stay away from Luoyang.

In a secret place in Xiaopingjin, having a long conversation with Zhao Da, Chen Long determined the plan to lead troops to the Xiongnu to rescue Cai Yan, and made all arrangements. Shamoke sent 50 strong soldiers, accompanied the lord, and had two horses, and crossed the river overnight to Huguan, the seat of Shangdang County, to meet Chu Yan and Zhang Niujiao, the leaders of the Montenegrin Army in Bingzhou.

And press Chen Long and Shamoke to hurry day and night, the single table Wuxi soldiers followed Zhou Budo's messenger, took a boat to Maojin Ferry, met Zhao Yun, Zhou Budo, Guo Jia generals, and conveyed Chen Long's order. Zhao Yun, Zhou Budo, and Fu Tong sorted out the cavalry overnight, prepared crossbows, bows and arrows, and dried food and water. When Guo Jia heard that the lord decided to let him lead the troops back to Chang'an to defend the town, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was a little sullen.

Zhou Budo and Guo Jia have followed Chen Long since they were teenagers, experienced many ups and downs, and have always advanced and retreated together, and naturally have the same mind. Zhou Budo said to Guo Jia in private: "Fengxiao, your body is not as thick as mine, and the lord often mentions it with me, for fear that you will drive too much and become ill from overwork." This time I went to Saiwai, the desert grassland, the high mountains and valleys, the mountains and mountains, and the bridges in the water. The lord is afraid that you are working too hard, you should understand the lord's love and care. ”

Guo Jia prides himself on being romantic, and he can't help but be wine-colored, and his body is indeed not as good as Zhou Budo. In the official history, he was young and was in the prime of life under Cao Cao, but unfortunately died of illness on the way to the Northern Expedition at the age of thirty-eight.

Therefore, Chen Long has indeed been urging Guo Jia to exercise, control the color of wine, and increase longevity. After Zhou Budo's words were finished, Guo Jia stretched his brows and said with a smile: "Yuan Zhi, you misunderstood." ”

Raising his hand and hammering his forehead slightly, he said: "The intention of the lord is extremely clever in strategy, when the surrounding situation is extremely complex and his strength is insufficient, it is best to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." ”

"The lord could have gone to Chang'an with me, but he had to forcibly go to the Xiongnu and cross the border to rescue Cai Yan. Then King Zuo Xian is under one person and above ten thousand, how can he give up? But the lord is a big husband, and he has something to do and something to do, since he decided to do it, he naturally has his reasons. Yuan Zhi, you should do your best to assist you here, so that the lord can come back safely. ”

Zhou Budo nodded and said, "This is natural!" I was a little worried about the support of the lone army, but the lord asked me to follow General Zilong to forcibly march to Mayi County to gather, but he went all the way, naturally to get the backup, so we have to have confidence in the lord. ”

Seeing that Guo Jia was still stroking his forehead, he asked softly, "Feng Xiao is worried about more than the safety of the lord going north, right?" ”

Guo Jia finally put down his right hand that was stroking his forehead, touched his smooth chin instead, and nodded: "Yuan Zhi knows me." The lord ordered me to return to Chang'an to garrison and wait for the situation in Luoyang to change. After I return to the army, there will be most of the First Legion of the Blue Dragon and a part of the Second Legion in Chang'an City, at least more than 40,000 people, which is enough to cope with any changes; So what I'm worried about is not the safety of Chang'an, but the safety of Lingling's nest. ”

Seeing that Zhou Budo nodded frequently, Guo Jia continued: "You and I have seen the same thing. The lord went to the Huns, I don't know how many months it will take to succeed, and it would be good to be able to rush back to Chang'an before the cold winter. Although Lingling is guarded by Brother Xi Zhicai and generals such as Zhang Jaw, Gao Lan, Yang Huai, and Gao Pei, the troops are too small, and the Second and Third Army Corps are undertrained. ”

Zhou Budo's brows also furrowed: "It's going to be autumn soon, the grain is harvesting, the horses are fat and strong, and Liu Biao is about to send troops, and it is unknown." We have to consider the worst-case scenario. ”

Guo Jia stood up and said: "I want the soldiers to be divided into two roads, Chang'an has Huang Gai, Xu Shu, and Gan Ning, who lead 20,000 soldiers to defend the town, and what queen supports, it should be foolproof." I also have Liu Xian, Liu Yong, Liu Min, Zhou Cang and other division commanders and deputy generals, as well as more than 20,000 remaining elites of the First Army, no longer detour back to Chang'an, immediately cross the Yellow River south, find a way to press to the front line of Xinye, if the war breaks out in Jingzhou, you can lead the troops to cross the Han River, go straight to Xiangyang, shake Liu Biao's foundation, in order to solve the danger of Lingling. ”

Zhou Bu undoubtedly saw that Guo Jia's strategy was extremely bold, but it was the most feasible and fastest solution to the Lingling crisis, and nodded: "Outside, the king's order is not affected." I basically agree with your plan, but tonight's decision was made by the two of us, and I will draft a report to be handed over to the lord when I meet him. ”

Guo Jia knew that Zhou Budo was taking the initiative to take responsibility, and he was moved in his heart, patted Yuan Zhi on the shoulder, and the two went to see Zhao Yun together.

Guo Jia's judgment proved to be extremely accurate later, but at this time, Liu Xian in Xiangyang was under the strict supervision of Liu Biao and could not send out information, just because Liu Xian was in the Ming, although there was an underground dark network, but because Liu Xian was controlled, it did not work well. Only Huang Zhong, who was far away in Youxian County, checked the clues from the mobilization of soldiers and horses in Jingzhou and reported it to Xi Zhicai and Jiang Wan, who were in Lingling.

For the time being, press Jingzhou Fengyun is not listed, Chen Long and Shamoke are single, leading fifty cavalrymen, one person and two horses, full of weapons and water, sleeping in the open air, trekking through mountains and rivers, changing horses and horses, and going straight to Huguan in Shangdang County to find the headquarters of the Black Mountain Army. The guide sent by Zhao Da was originally from Bingzhou, plus he was running around all the year round, he was familiar with geography, and Chen Long had the help of a light brain map in his brain, so he successfully came to the boundary of Shangdang County.

The poverty of the state, coupled with the continuous war, most of the young and middle-aged people joined the army, just to eat, and the villages along the road were full of old and weak women and children, relying on the most basic rations to maintain their lives, selling wives and sending children, which happened from time to time. If the Huns crossed the border and looted, it was the time of death for the old and the young, and the white bones were full of wild villages, which was really miserable.

More than 50 Wuxi heroes, all gritted their teeth with hatred, met the villagers who were about to starve to death, tried their best to give some dry food, and also picked up a lot of unclothed children, Chen Longling hung bamboo baskets on both sides of the horses to put the children, and gradually hung the idle horses, counting, there were more than 30 children. There were even hundreds of hungry people, following Chen Long's horse team, just begging for alms, and the team gradually became mighty.

Chen Long prepared a lot of dry food, can not stand more and more mouths, had to ration every day, but also have to find cow and sheep milk to feed the children, the soldiers are half hungry and half full every day, the children are also hungry and crying, just like this for a few days, fortunately did not encounter the Hun soldiers looting, but the dry food and water are about to run out, is in a panic, finally arrived at the destination of this trip--------- Huguan in Shangdang County.

The gate of the city gate was locked, the drawbridge was hung high, and Chen Long shouted: "The black mountain sergeant in the city listened!" I and your father-in-law Chu Yan are old friends in Jizhou, so report quickly!"

After shouting for a long time, one person in the city shouted: "Where are the homeless people! Dare to pretend to be a handsome friend, get out of here!" Chen Long looked back, except for more than a hundred horses, they were indeed all ragged, no wonder people didn't recognize them.

Chen Long thought that he would not eat the soft ones, but maybe the hard ones, so he filled the bow and arrows, carried the internal strength, and shot an arrow at the flagpole hanging high in the city. The bow opened like a full moon, the arrow went like a meteor, only to hear a hula sound, the thick wooden flagpole was broken by the huge force, and the city resounded with an exclamation.

Chen Long shouted again: "Let you know that I am strong!" I'm here to catch up with your handsome, and I'll report to your lord as soon as possible, and say that Jizhou Zhengding and the old man who fought with him and Niujiao in the hotel came to visit!"

The city had just raised the flag, and when he saw that the flagpole was shattered, he knew that the people under the city were indeed masters. Suddenly, a delicate female voice sounded in the city: "This hero, don't let go of the arrows again." Our Montenegrin army has always known heroes and valued heroes, but the soldiers are in chaos, and we are not to blame for being cautious. Please leave your men outside the city first, and come in alone, and wait for us to negotiate with you, and then let them in. As he spoke, he pulled a huge basket from the city.

Shamoke's eyebrows stood up, and he was about to have a seizure, but Long Chen was also angry and funny, and shouted: "Girl, on the head of this city, what did you say?" ”

The female voice sounded again: "I am Chu Feiyan, the sister of the commander of the Black Mountain Army, do you think I said it?" ”

Chen Long was slightly stunned, it turned out that Chu Yan also had a sister named Chu Feiyan, and Chu Yan's nickname was also "Feiyan", and there were really many swallows in their Chu family. This girl of his, she speaks very proudly, I don't know what she looks like?
