Chapter 35: Wei Yuan traveled thousands of miles a day and knocked on the door for the night of the Winged City

Wei Yuan jumped over the trap in one fell swoop, and rushed directly towards Zhao Yu with a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand.

Zhao Yu stood still, only sneered and ordered: "Kill!" ”

Suddenly, Wei Yuan was surrounded by soldiers, all of whom came towards Wei Yuan with weapons.

Wei Yuan was not afraid, and rushed into the crowd with a long laugh, and did not encounter a general at all under the dance of the three-pointed two-edged knife, and in an instant, more than ten Wei soldiers turned into corpses under the knife. All the Wei soldiers were shocked, pushing each other one by one, but they didn't dare to move forward.

Zhao Yu shouted: "Those who are cowardly and afraid of the enemy are killed!" Whoever injures this person will be rewarded with 10 gold, and whoever kills this person will be rewarded with 100 gold! ”

After hearing this, the morale of the sergeants was immediately boosted, and they rushed straight towards Wei Yuan one by one, for ordinary soldiers, it was very worth the risk to be able to add a little injury to Wei Yuan, and to be able to get a reward of ten gold. (Note 1)

Wei Yuan still raised his knife and went straight to Zhao Yu, although some soldiers came, they were all slashed and killed by him. After killing more than a dozen people, all the Wei soldiers did not dare to move forward.

At this time, Zhao Yu had already dodged in the distance, and when he saw this scene, he shouted: "The archers are coming!" All the soldiers stepped forward, and those who wounded this person were rewarded with 100 gold, and those who beheaded this person were rewarded with 500 gold! When all the soldiers heard this, they suddenly let out a strange cry of excitement, and one by one they were stimulated by the high bounty to forget the danger, and they all rushed straight towards Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan shouted violently: "Death to those who stand in my way!" Under the swing of the three-pointed two-edged knife, in a moment's effort, he killed more than a dozen people again, so that the Wei soldiers, who were red-eyed by the bounty, regained their senses again, and everywhere Wei Yuan passed, they all dodged.

In fact, there were only more than 30 soldiers stationed in front of the camp gate, and then Zhao Yu transferred 30 more people this time, and there were only more than 60 people before the Wei army camp, and after being killed by Wei Yuan, more than 20 people, the rest of the Wei army were afraid and did not dare to come forward to fight with them.

At this time, Zhao Yu looked out of the corner of his eyes and saw that a large number of Wei soldiers were coming not far from the rear, and he couldn't help but smile and said: "The army is coming, all the kings listen to the order, if you hurt this person, you will be rewarded with 100 gold, and if you kill this person, I will protect this person as a candidate for the general, and I will never break my word!" ”

As soon as Zhao Yu's voice fell, all the Wei soldiers were overjoyed, and the lowest title handed down by the Han Dynasty was the one with this title, and with this title, he could enter the ranks of scholars from this family, and his future was worry-free.

Suddenly, the entire sluggish morale suddenly rose to the highest, and then everyone stared at Wei Yuan, eager to try, but they were afraid of Wei Yuan's martial arts, and no one dared to take the lead.

At this moment, suddenly a general rode out on a horse, and killed Wei Yuan with a knife, shouting in his mouth: "The position of the waiter belongs to me!" "But it's Dubo Zhao Hu.

As soon as the Wei army saw that someone came out first, they immediately shouted in unison and went up in one group. Only Zhao Yu scolded on the side: "The erector is not a big mistake for me, hurry up!" ”

But it's too late. When Wei Yuan saw Zhao Hu attacking, he was not surprised but rejoiced. The body flashed to the side, dodging the blade, and then the three-pointed two-edged knife was quickly shot, and Zhao Hu was slapped under the horse in just one moment, and then he sat on the horse's back with a jump, turned the horse's head, and rushed directly towards Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was shocked when he saw this, turned around and left, but because he was already walking and wearing armor, he was soon caught up by Wei Yuan from behind and was cut off by Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan stretched out his hand and held Zhao Yu's head in his hand, sneered on his face, and rode his horse to the back of the camp slowly. When all the Wei troops saw it, no one dared to intercept it, until Wei Yuan was about to leave the camp, a general suddenly came out of the queue and shouted: "Stop!" ”

Wei Yuanshun went to prestige, but it was Zhao Hu. Wei Yuan said: "For the sake of your horse, I can allow you to live a few more days, why call me?" ”

Zhao Hu arched his hand and said: "It is really fateful for my general to suffer this catastrophe, but the general treats me well, and the villain dares to ask the adult to return the head of my general and give him a whole corpse." The villain is willing to exchange my head. Adult, please do it. ”

Wei Yuan sighed: "Although your martial arts are not good, you are also a loyal and righteous person if you don't want to. ”

Then he abandoned Zhao Yu's head into Zhao Hu's arms, and said: "I don't take the head of loyalty, someone else takes it, and be careful." Then he rode away.

"Can you leave your name?"

"I am Wuyang Liao Yuan Liao Ziliang is also!" Wei Yuanyuan did not reply.

After Wei Yuan was gone, the Wei army gathered Zhao Yu's corpse and was about to be buried, when suddenly an order rushed to the camp, holding a command flag and asking: "In the name of the general, where is Zhao Yu?" ”

The Wei army showed a sad look on their faces, and after informing him of Zhao Yu's beheading, the commander paused: "I am still too late to fight the horse with all my strength, and I came this time to declare that I must intercept this person." ”

So the soldiers quickly returned to report to Guo Huai, Guo Huai was furious when he heard it, and said: "Boyi (Zhao Yuzi) was killed by a foolish general" and then ordered to behead Zhao Hu.

Guo Huai said: "Boyi is already proficient in the way of deploying troops, that Liao Yuan suddenly, Boyi did not guard against his martial arts so strong, so he broke into the camp, and then Boyi raised the reward many times to order the infantry to move forward, which is the strategy of marching to trap Liao Yuan." However, Zhao Hu, who is greedy for rewards, and goes straight forward, isn't he just in the middle of that guy's arms? You were not a horse given by Zhao Hu, and Liao Yuanding was captured by Bo Yisheng. Hu Ling was impressed.

It wasn't until Zhao Hu was dying that he understood what Wei Yuan had said about the head of loyalty and righteousness. It wasn't until Guo Huai learned that Zhao Hu wanted to exchange his head for Zhao Yu's head, that he sighed and said, "I killed the loyal and righteous people by mistake." Then he ordered to treat the descendants of Zhao Hu's family favorably. But this is a long time after the Qiang rebellion ended.

After Wei Yuan left the Wei camp, he had to stop after galloping for about an hour, because it was dark, and the horse Wei Yuan was riding was an inferior horse at all, Wei Yuan's three-pointed two-edged knife alone weighed seventy-five catties, plus Wei Yuan himself, the horse could not hump Wei Yuan for a long distance. Fortunately, on this day, Wei Yuan traveled nearly 700 miles, and more than half of the thousand-mile road had passed, but Wei Yuan knew that the next journey would be more difficult, because the more he went north, the more Wei army's outposts and horses were also significantly increased.

Wei Yuan let go of the reins, then patted the horse's head and said with a smile: "You are free, you can leave the ear by yourself." ”

Then, whether the horse understood it or not, he dragged the three-pointed, two-edged knife backwards, and turned away.

Late at night, in the winged city at this time, the Chinese army's tent was still brightly lit, and Jiang Wei was discussing with Liao Hua and Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan said: "Originally, we planned to send news to the camp every three days, but now two days have passed, and there is still no news from the grain ship. ”

Liao Hua asked, "Have you ever sent a detective horse to inquire about one or two?" ”

"Three full waves have been dispatched, and all of them have gone and never returned." Jiang Xuan sighed.

Jiang Wei looked at the topographic map on the desk and asked, "Where was the last grain ship interrogation?" ”

"The last time the grain ship was summoned has arrived at the Shilian Ferry."

"Then send someone to take a fast horse along the river to investigate."

"Whoa!"

Jiang Wei found the stone mill ferry from the map, and then used his finger to go all the way up along the big river, and then his finger suddenly stopped in one place, and changed color and said: "Where is this?" ”

Jiang Xuan looked over and said, "General Yu, this is the Surabaya Ridge." ”

Jiang Wei said: "Suduo sent people here to investigate, and reported back immediately if there was news." ”

"Whoa!" After the interrogators left, Liao Hua asked, "Did the general find something wrong?" ”

Jiang Wei pointed to the Surabaya Ridge on the map and said, "From the Shuzhong waterway to the wings, this is the throat of the place." After passing through this place, it is a land of flat rivers, and there is no danger to defend. If the Wei army sets up an ambush here......"

Liao Hua changed color and said: "The terrain here is just right for an ambush, if the Wei army sets up an ambush here, my grain fleet will be wiped out!" Then he bowed his hand to Jiang Wei and said: "General, the last general is willing to personally lead a thousand cavalry and immediately rush here to help, please show the general!" ”

Jiang Wei waved his hand and said: "It's late, according to the calculation of the foot, if the Wei army ambushes my grain road here, it will be four days late." ”

Liao Hua changed color and said: "Then how many days can our army's food and grass be available?" ”

"But seven days." Lord Bo Jiang replied.

"Some time ago, I cut off the winged granary and got a lot of grain, why do we only have seven days of food left now? So our army is in danger! Liao Hua was surprised.

"This is my plan, because the Qiang people are short of food and grass, although they temporarily use military food to help them solve their urgent needs." Jiang Weidao.

"Please general, don't worry, since the stone mill ferry to here, there are many tigers, wolves and beasts, maybe the person who delivered the letter encountered an unexpected accident on the way." General Tan Ming said.

"General, what Gongde said is not impossible," Jiang Xuan said.

Jiang Wei stood up and was about to speak, when suddenly a messenger came in and reported: "General, there is a person outside the city gate who knocks on the city late at night, saying that there is something important to face the general, and please ask the general to show it." ”

"Don't you know that the army strictly orders that the city is not allowed to open at night?" Jiang Xuan said angrily when he heard this.

"We've all answered." The soldier said in fear: "But if the people in the city delay important things, the general will behead him when he learns about it." ”

"Oh?" Jiang Wei listened and asked, "Who is the one who called the door in the city?" ”

"He claims to be Wuyang, Liao Yuan, Liao Ziliang is also."

Note 1: In fact, many modern people don't understand why ancient people screamed and rushed forward when they said how much money they would reward. In fact, this is determined by the ancient military merit policy, in the Three Kingdoms era, there were generals and captains who embezzled food and salary, but the only thing that could not be corrupted was military merit. As long as the Lord will order at that time, the reward will be as much as it wants, and if it is completed, it will definitely be rewarded with a lot of money. In the era when there was not enough to eat, there were even people who worked hard for a few pennies, not to mention a daughter and a knighthood. Popularize it, and nothing else.
