Chapter 33: Broken Mounts

Chapter 33: Guo Boji swears to kill Wei Ziliang, and Wei Yuan folds his mount at the camp gate

After the generals left, Guo Huai thought carefully about the topographic map hanging in the tent, until he felt that there was nothing missing, so he stood up and prepared to inspect the camp.

"Report ---" The messenger pulled a long voice all the way, rushed to the tent and saluted: "General, there is urgent news from Yang Ji, five hours ago, there was a Shu general who broke through the card and went to the direction of the wings. ”

After hearing this, Guo Huai asked, "How many men and horses will the enemy general carry?" ”

"General, it's just one person." The messenger replied.

"Who is on duty in Yang Ji?" Guo Huai asked. "Dubo Tongwen." "What a child!"

Guo Huai was furious, threw away a pottery bowl in his hand to the ground, and said: "More than 100 elites, but they can't intercept one person. (Note 1) After speaking, he was still puzzled and asked, "Where is Tong Wen now?" ”

"I have been killed by enemy generals." The messenger replied. Guo Huai was silent for a long time, and said: "The Shu army rode a fast horse to break through the sentry post, and the army behind must have learned that the grain and grass had been burned by our army. This time it must be to communicate with the ears for the wings. Orders are to be intercepted at all checkpoints, and if there is any more ...... for him to pass through,"

Just when Guo Huai's voice did not fall, there was a loud roll call outside the tent and rushed into the tent, and after entering the tent, he reported to Guo Huai: "General, there is a news from Jiguanling, and a Shu general has broken into the sentry card and rushed away. ”

Guo Huai asked, "Have you ever asked the name of the enemy general?" The soldier replied: "I really don't know, I only know that Nashu will ride two people and two people, and hold a three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand." ”

At this time, the first interrogator also replied: "General, the person who forcibly broke into Yang Ji is also a person with two horses and a three-pointed two-edged knife, this must be one person." ”

"Report!" At this time, another soldier reported his name and saluted Guo Huai: "General, there is a Shu military general on the left and right of Shenshi, one person and two ......horses" Guo Huai waved his hand and said: "One person and two horses, holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife, and then broke through the card and left." ”

The Xun soldier paused for a moment and saluted: "The general is wise, our army is all uncles and grandsons and two dogs killed in battle." ”

"Who is this, who actually broke through three checkpoints in one day, and there are still such characters in the Shu army?" Guo Huaiqi said.

"This is Liao Ziliang, the general of the rear army of the Shu Kingdom." Suddenly, a man in the tent replied.

Guo Huaishun is prestigious, but he is the pioneer Chu Heng.

Chu Heng said: "In the Shu army, there is no one who makes a three-pointed and two-edged knife more than this person." A few days ago, I discussed this person with General Xiahou, and a three-pointed and two-edged knife was able to reach the combined efforts of General Xiahou and Wang Yi. ”

"This is the person who killed Xiahou Kuang?"

"Yes, yes." Chu Heng said: "General Xiahou once said that this son is brave and strategic, and in time, it will be a big disaster for my Wei country." ”

"This son should be killed to prevent future troubles." Guo Huai Senran said: "From the border of Shu to the wings, I have set up eleven checkpoints and two large camps, and ordered me to pass on each pass, and take the head of Wei Yuan to be rewarded with 100 gold. ”

"Whoa!"

As soon as the Xunjun left, another Xunjun suddenly entered the account with a loud roll call, and reported: "There is a Shu man who broke through the Sandfly Ferry and forcibly crossed the bridge to Weiying. ”

It turned out that Wei Yuan's crotch mount was a good horse that Wang Ping had worked hard to buy several times, Wei Yuan was a man and two horses, and after breaking through the checkpoint, he went straight to the next checkpoint, so there was a situation one after another that Wei Yuan broke through the checkpoint and the Wei army reported the news later, and then the checkpoints were far and close to Guo Huai, so the messengers of each checkpoint arrived almost at the same time, and even the checkpoint that Wei Yuan broke through at the beginning came later.

Chu Heng asked, "This person is holding a three-pointed two-edged knife?" ”

"Yes, yes." "Before nightfall, he broke through four checkpoints in one day, this person is really good, so he can't survive." Guo Huai sighed.

Chu Heng suddenly said: "Then Wei Yuan has such a ability, and the general will want to go to the meeting for a while." ”

Guo Huai said with a smile: "In this case, you will take one step and rush to the camp of Qianniuling, I expect that this son will force himself to break into the camp, and the outposts along the way can not stop it." ”

Chu Heng said: "General, this person is proficient in martial arts, and the last general thinks that the general can inform the checkpoints along the way and make way for him to let him go, in case this guy takes the opportunity to kill the general of my Wei State." ”

Guo Huai said: "If you want it, you can't do it." It is evident that this son is going straight for the wings, and if he stops him, he will be given at least three days, so he must not be allowed to live to become the wings. Random Guo Huai shouted: "Summons the outpost camp everywhere, be sure to intercept this person, if you let this person pass through the sentry camp, the Lord will come to see me!" ”

"Whoa!" Immediately, a messenger rushed out of the camp, and then the scouts came out, and orders were sent everywhere.

At this time, Wei Yuan was still riding on a horse and galloping forward from the official road. At this time, Wei Yuan had already ridden more than 600 miles to rush through five sentry posts in a row, in fact, if the Wei army sentry points were not considered, it would be completely possible to use fast horses to report news in two days. Although a really good horse cannot be said to travel thousands of miles a day and run 800 at night, it is actually not much worse.

......Wei Yuan stopped the horses by a river, then turned over and dismounted, first giving the horses some water to drink, and then taking out edamame beans for the horses to eat. The long-distance run on this road is all about the speed of the horse, and it is necessary to ensure the foot strength of the mount Wei Yuan to be sure to break through one checkpoint after another.

Wei Yuan took out the map from his arms and looked at it, then sighed. The map provided by Wang Shang is only here. According to Wang Shang's words, there is a camp of about 1,000 people of the Wei army in Weijin about five miles ahead, which is stuck in the throat of the wings, as long as this place is occupied, the entire grain road from the wings to the five cities will be completely cut off, whether the Shu army is transporting grain from the waterway or the dry road, this place will be a place where soldiers must fight.

"Guo Boji is a good general in the world." Wei Yuan sighed. Then he turned over and got on his horse and went straight to the Weijin camp from the official road.

Five miles away, Sumeru is coming, close to the Wei army camp, Wei Yuan repeated the old tricks, hid his body under the horse's belly, and then drove the empty horse in front, so he went straight to the camp one after the other.

At this time, stationed in the camp was Guo Huai's subordinate general Zhao Yu, who was patrolling with a sword, and when he was walking near the gate of the village, he suddenly received a report from the soldiers, "General, there are two ownerless horses on the official road ahead, and they are coming to the camp." ”

"Oh? In the midst of all this, how can there be horses without owners? (Note 2)" Zhao Yu sneered: "Wait for me to see." ”

Zhao Yu rushed to the camp before he put his hands on the pergola and looked at the official road, only to see two horses at the end of the official road trotting straight to the camp. Zhao Yu looked at it and sneered: "There are thieves who want to break into my camp, don't you think that my sword is not good?" Then he ordered: "Thirty archers shall be ambushed on both sides of the gate, and the horses shall be shot as they approach." ”

"Whoa!"

After the interrogators left, Dubo Zhao Hu asked: "General, there are obviously two ownerless horses in front of you, how can you say that thieves broke into the camp?" ”

Zhao Yu said coldly: "I looked from afar, the saddle on the horse's body was complete, and there seemed to be a bow and arrow weapon hidden on the side of the horse. Can the ownerless horse be prepared? There will be thieves hidden under the belly of the horse, who may deceive us in the ears of the camp. ”

The two horses gradually approached the camp, and now the distance from the camp is no more than 100 zhang, at this time Wei Yuan is hiding under the horse's belly and secretly said to himself, "I have passed through the sentry camp many times, and the Wei army saw that the empty horses were coming to the village one after another to surrender the horses, why is there no movement here?" Just when Wei Yuan was surprised, he suddenly saw a wheat field next to the camp out of the corner of his eye, and he couldn't help but suddenly realize: "Where the crowd haunts, is there an ownerless horse theory?" My plan has been discovered. ”

At this time, Wei Yuan was only about eighty zhang away from the Zhaimen, Wei Yuan suddenly turned over and got on the horse, stretched out with one hand, and already held the three-pointed two-edged knife in his hand, and then lashed on the empty horse in front of him. The horse was frightened, and immediately neighed and quickly rushed straight to the gate of the village, and Wei Yuan followed closely after the horse.

When Wei Yuan was about thirty zhang away from the camp, a general suddenly appeared in front of the gate of the village and shouted: "Good thief, your plan has been seen through by me, and you dare to break into my village?" Shoot the arrows! ”

Then the archers on the left and right flashed, and a rain of arrows came straight towards Wei Yuan. Wei Yuan let out a long laugh, took out the riding shield (Note 3) that straddled the side of the horse's hips with one hand, and danced the three-pointed two-edged knife with the other hand to block the flying feather arrows, but he was a little happier when he stepped off the horse. After two arrows (Note 4), Zhao Yu saw that Wei Yuan was still unharmed, and couldn't help but sigh: "There is such a person in the world? Then he shouted: "Quickly dispatch the soldiers to come and guard the gate." ”

At this time, Wei Yuan had already rushed to the front of the camp, and was riding his horse forward, when suddenly the horse in front of him neighed and then suddenly the whole horse fell down, Wei Yuan was suddenly startled, but the horse under the crotch was too late to stop, and went straight into the pit. When Wei Yuan saw this, he immediately retracted his legs and then stood up from the horse's back, and then when the horse fell down, he used a three-pointed two-edged knife against the ground and jumped forward, and suddenly jumped up from the pit and landed on the opposite side of the pit. And these two good horses in the Western Regions fell to the bottom of the pit, and were pierced by the wooden thorns at the bottom of the pit, and they couldn't survive.

Originally, when the Wei army set up camp here, it had set up a trap in front of the camp, and when entering and exiting on weekdays, it was laid on it with a wooden plank, and it was like flat ground, if someone was found to break into the camp, the plank could be pulled away immediately, and the trap would be exposed, Wei Yuan was not guarded, and the two horses all fell into the pit.

When Wei Yuan saw that the war horse was killed, he was immediately furious, pointed at Zhao Yu with a three-pointed and two-edged knife, and shouted: "Wei thief, you should die today!" ”

Note 1: Something to the effect of: How does this Duber compare to a pig and a dog? The basic meaning is that this person is not even as good as a pig or a dog.

Note 2: Vertical and horizontal, generally refers to between the fields. Qianmo is the dividing line between the fields and the soil, so that they can be used for irrigation of crops. The vernacular text of this sentence is, how can two horses without an owner suddenly appear in a place full of crops (which can also be understood as people everywhere)?

Note 3: Riding shield, cavalry shield, in fact, in the Three Kingdoms, the shield is not called a riding shield, but called a shield (jiu), the earliest can be seen in the "Later Han Dynasty Biography" in Chen Ying's biography, which once said "The shield of the cavalry has many evil ears, so he killed four hundred craftsmen." The meaning is roughly that the craftsman made the cavalry's shield very poorly, and Chen Ying was furious and killed 400 people who made the shield. But I secretly speculated that many people didn't know the word 'δΉ†', so I changed it to riding a shield, hoping to understand.

Note 4: Two arrows means that from the time the arrow is taken to the time the arrow is fired, it is counted as one arrow, and two arrows are shot out of two arrows.
