Chapter 54: Wei Chi Jingde
Yu Wenming's move also frightened everyone. Wei Chigong said cautiously: "Captain, the word below is Jingde, and because I am a few years older, the brothers call me Brother Jingde." Guy, but you want to find me? ”
Yu Wenming turned around abruptly and looked him up and down, a look of surprise on his face.
Wei Chi Gong said that he was respectful, wouldn't that be the famous door god Wei Chi Jingde? I didn't expect this guy to be in this team, and he really picked up a treasure.
At this time, Wei Chi Jingde was a little nervous, because he had committed many cases in his early years and offended many people, and he wondered if the gang leader also had relatives and friends who had enemies with him? That's a big deal.
"Huh! It's okay! It's just that I happened to hear a friend say that Wei Chi Jingde is a hero with outstanding martial arts and both wisdom and bravery, so I always wanted to meet him, but I didn't know that you were in my team! Yu Wenming laughed, and then slapped Yu Chi Jingde's shoulder.
Wei Chi Jingde's expression relaxed at this time, and his feelings were not that he had offended the captain...... It's just that when did you become a hero? Could it be that when he committed crimes in the past, he also helped some poor families by the way, which made them grateful, so these words accidentally reached the ears of the gang leader? But the head of the gang should be from a family, how could he know those poor people?
When Wei Chi Jingde was thinking about it, there was a "click" sound of stepping on the snow, and Hong Xiu came over with a spear at this time, but his white face showed a trace of worry.
"Hong Xiu, how are you asking? Did he recruit it? Seeing this, Yu Wenming hurriedly asked.
"He refused to recruit at first, but after I was tortured, he finally forced him to ask!" Hong Xiu nodded at this time, but his expression was a little worried: "He turned out to be a scout for the Goryeo sneak attack troops. There were a total of 5,000 of them, and long before our army set out, they had already infiltrated Zhuo County in disguise as the Sui army, in order to burn our army's grain and grass baggage, and even if they could not be burned, they would harass everywhere, making the rear of our army unstable and not daring to let go of the attack. There were thirty of them in total, and they had already attacked and killed two groups of our second and seventh teams, so they asked for the password of our army. He said they didn't expect to get into trouble with us. ”
After Yu Wenming heard this, he was also in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "There are five thousand of them?" And where the captives can summon their station? ”
"It's a move, but it's useless, because it's been five days since they've been away from the station, and the station changes every three days. According to the confession of the captives, the general of their army planned to let the main force of our army pass over, and then raid the grain and grass baggage team. Because they believe that the teams that walk in the middle are often the least vigilant. ”
Yu Wenming nodded, thinking that this Goryeo general could also figure out his mind. In general, the person who walks in the middle of the line is indeed the safest and easiest to distribute.
"This guy thinks it's beautiful, but I naturally won't do what he wants!" Yu Wenming sneered, and then his eyes rolled sharply.
After a while, he made a decision: "Zimo, you are injured and have difficulty moving. I would like you to go back to the camp and report this important situation to the general. Let the logistics and transportation troops pay attention to precautions, and would rather go slower than wait until the additional manpower arrives. After all, the enemy is 5,000 men, and most of them are the most elite troops. ”
Lin Zimo hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down to receive the order. He also knew that after he was injured, not only could he not be a help to the team, but would drag everyone down. Just when someone needs to go back to report the news, you can kill two birds with one stone.
After Lin Zimo left, Guo Ziyi couldn't help but ask, "Guy, what about us?" ”
"We?" Yu Wenming smiled and said: "Of course, we must continue to investigate, we must find out this enemy's sneak attack force, otherwise the army's grain route will be cut off, and we will be defeated in Liaodong!" ”
Everyone nodded, and they understood what was at stake.
Yu Wenming waved his hand, and after directing everyone to pack up their things, he went on the road again......
……
The group has been walking for three days, chatting along the way, in order not to be too nervous. Yu Wenming even adapted some jokes from later generations and told them to everyone, making everyone laugh.
At this time, Yu Wenming already knew a little bit about the two people in his team that he was more concerned about.
The first person is naturally the famous Wei Chi Jingde.
He turned out to be a veteran, about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and also participated in the Sui Eradication Tuyuhun Battle. It is said that he was promoted to lieutenant at that time, but later he was demoted from lieutenant to petty soldier because of a violation of military law.
Although Wei Chi Jingde's martial arts are not the highest in this team, his combat experience is definitely the richest. Moreover, Yu Wenming could also guess that Yu Chi Jingde was afraid that most of them were still hiding his martial arts. Otherwise, he would have already made a name for himself in the army.
And the other person is Hong Xiu. Yu Wenming only now learned that he was originally a native of Zhuo County, who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and often walked on the rivers and lakes, often practicing chivalry and righteousness, punishing adultery and eliminating evil. And this time he was sentenced to be confiscated, which was the result of him killing a bully who forcibly occupied the people's daughter.
Originally, according to his crimes, he was to pay for his life. But because the Holy One wanted to send a large army to attack Goryeo. And Zhuojun, which is close to Goryeo, also has the largest number of conscripted soldiers. Because they are most familiar with the situation in Goryeo, they do not have the problem of adapting to the water and soil.
Therefore, after the local county commander reported to the Taishou of Zhuo County, he released Hong Xiu and other felons with martial arts, and incorporated them into various armies.
It's just that in order to prevent them from escaping or not working hard. Their families are under the watchful eye of the government. Only if they have done enough to fight can they be forgiven.
Yu Wenming couldn't help but sigh at this time, in his team, there was really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. There are not only the famous Wei Chi Jingde in history, but also Hong Xiu and other chivalrous warriors. It's just that he didn't expect that Wei Chi Jingde is just an ordinary soldier now. It seems that generals still start from small soldiers.
"Now that my starting point is higher than Wei Chi Jingde, I think my future should be brighter than him!" Yu Wenming laughed mockingly.
……
The land within a radius of twenty miles has been turned upside down by Yu Wenming and others, but no trace of the Goryeo people has been found.
They had trekked all the way, and by this time they were already a little far from the main army. Since it is already on the edge of the plain, you can see the rolling mountains in the distance, and after walking more than 100 miles to the east, you will enter the territory of Goryeo.
Yu Wenming looked at the sky, it was already late at night, so he said to everyone: "Let's find a place to rest and have dinner!" ”
Everyone was immediately relieved, after all, they were all tired after a day of walking. They struck their horses a few times and galloped away from a low mountain in front of them.
After a few moments of running along the snow-covered and silver-covered mountains, the group came to a babbling stream. However, the creek is now covered with a thick layer of ice, and the ice slag "creaks and creaks" when stepped on.
Just as they crossed the stream, a sika deer galloped out of the forest, as if frightened by something.
The Sui army was overjoyed, and they bent their bows and arrows one after another, preparing to shoot the deer.
And Lin Zimo, who was already itching his hands, had already shot an arrow.
Hearing only a "whoosh", the sika deer fell to the ground.
He rushed forward with a smile, and after picking up the sika deer, he sighed: "It's a pity that there is only one, there are not enough of us to divide!" ”
"Zimo, in this winter, it's not easy to get a sika deer out of it!" Yu Wenming also smiled.
However, at this moment, a fat black bear suddenly emerged from the forest, roaring and rushing towards Yu Wenxuan.
It turned out that the sika deer just now was chased out by this black bear.
Lin Zimo was startled, because the distance was too close, he didn't have time to draw the arrow, so he could only swing his knife and slash at the black bear. But the black bear just waved his palm and knocked his knife to the ground. Then he roared wildly and lunged at him.
Lin Zimo saw that it was too late to dodge, so he couldn't help but close his eyes and sigh secretly: "My life is over."
But at this moment, he only heard the deafening screams of the black bear.
Lin Zimo opened his eyes and saw that a wolf tooth arrow shot through the black bear's left eye, penetrating the back of his head, and blood burst out of his body.
The frightened Yu Wenxuan looked back, only to see that Yu Wenming had just withdrawn the longbow in his hand.
"Thank you, man!" He said gratefully. If it weren't for Yu Wenming's timely action, I'm afraid that he would have become a ghost under the black bear's clutches.
Yu Wenming bowed slightly, and then frowned: "It's not surprising that there are sika deer here, but how can there be a black bear?" Black bears hibernate in winter! ”
With this reminder, the scouts in his companions also suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
Hong Xiu's eyes flickered for a moment, and Fang Shen said, "If an enemy breaks into the black bear's hibernation cave, it is possible to scare it out. However, ordinary animals do not dare to enter the bear cave at all...... Unless there are people, only people can drive the bears out! ”
After everyone heard Hong Xiu's words, they immediately became alert.
