Volume 2 The Death of the Yellow Turban Chapter 44 Strong Deterrence

The sound of rumbling horses' hooves came from far and near like muffled thunder.

Hundreds of Han cavalry rushed like a whirlwind. Although there was a hint of tiredness on their faces, their tense faces were full of high fighting spirit.

"Your Excellency!" Gao Feng shouted, "I found a dense forest ahead, do you want to camp in the forest for the night?" ”

"Pei Yuanshao!" Nanying stopped, "Where are we now?" ”

"My lord! According to the judgment of the last general, this should be the place where Qingyuan and Taoguan counties meet, and there are still about 100 miles away from Ganling! Pei Yuanshao hit the horse and chased after him from behind.

"What do you mean by judgment?" Nanying frowned and said, "Didn't you just pass through here a few days ago?" Why do you have to guess! ”

Pei Yuanshao smiled bitterly: "The last general walked the official road a few days ago!" And the adults didn't take that road at all in order to conceal the march, and the last general had to judge according to the mountainous landform! ”

"I see!" Nan Ying suddenly said, "Ben will be wrong to blame you!" Gao Feng ordered the brothers to slow down their horses and enter the dense forest for the night! ”

The five hundred cavalry let out a cheer and poured out like a tidal wave into the dense forest miles away. They are all survivors of the Battle of Neihuang, there are the old department of the Eagle's Nest, there are also the five schools of the Northern Army and a small number of county soldiers, after the baptism of the Battle of Neihuang, they have made a qualitative leap in both the will to fight and the fighting skills, and there is no problem in loyalty.

On that day, Nanying boasted of Haikou in the big tent, and only 500 soldiers and horses were able to capture Ganling, which shocked the audience. He only made one request, that is, to ask Gao Shun and Pei Yuanshao to accompany the army.

Lu Zhi hesitated again and again, and finally agreed to this crazy request, in fact, the overstretched troops made him have no choice, and the open and secret battle between Dong Zhuo and Nanying also made it difficult for him to ride a tiger. Although Dong Zhuo is his deputy general, he is a veteran general on the battlefield, and his qualifications are not much worse than that of him Lu Zhi. If he didn't agree to Nanying's seemingly death-seeking invitation, Dong Zhuo's face would be even more lost. At least now, Dong Zhuo can wave his hand generously and say: The young man is really a newborn calf and is not afraid of tigers! Go ahead! The old man is optimistic about you!

Nanying did not make any stop after leaving the account, he selected 500 soldiers in good physical condition from the nearly 1,000 subordinates who survived after the Battle of Neihuang, equipped with 300 Yue cavalry mounts and 200 war horses prepared by the old department of the Eagle Nest, exactly 500 cavalry, only brought three days of food and grass with him, and immediately embarked on the journey.

This makes it difficult for everyone to make a statement, but is this really confident? It's better to rush to reincarnation!

"To avoid leaking the news, of course!" Nan Ying faced Gao Shun's question and said calmly: "Jia Xu's old boy is always secretive when he speaks, which makes me have a very bad feeling. If there is Zhang Bao's internal response in the army, then we will only take 500 people to attack Ganling, once the news leaks, it will really be a death operation! ”

"I can understand that you bring Pei Yuanshao, after all, he is a general, and having him lead the way will get twice the result with half the effort! But why did you take me with you? "Gao Shun still doesn't understand.

Nan Ying also replied honestly: "Because I have already torn my face with Dong Zhuo's old thing, I am worried that if my eldest brother continues to stay in the army, he will fall for that old boy's tricks!" ”

"That's right!" Gao Shun nodded, "But, then Dong Zhuo should also be able to see Wen He's close relationship with us, right?" Why aren't you worried about Wenhe's safety? ”

"Him?" Nanying smiled dumbly, "You can put your heart back in your stomach." With that monster-like man, he should only have his share of the yin person, how can he suffer the loss of others? ”

"What's more!" Nanying smiled, "I still selected ten good Eagle's Nest brothers to protect him secretly, and also left a Harrier Eagle for communication, there will be no problem!" ”

"My lord! My lord! A call woke Nanying from his contemplation, "Please dismount!" ”

Nanying suddenly found that he had come to the edge of the forest, and hundreds of his subordinates dismounted en masse, waiting for his instructions.

He showed a big smile and yelled, "How? Soldiers, how does it feel to run a hundred and fifty miles in one day? You won't be so tired that your feet are as weak as a woman! ”

Hou Cheng took a step forward and laughed: "Don't worry, my lord, you gave us the rope loop for stepping on our feet, but it came in handy!" We didn't feel a little tired at all! ”

He shook his head proudly: "Even if you run another hundred and fifty miles, it's just a piece of cake!" ”

Nanying laughed and said, "Do you all think so? ”

"Yes! My lord! Everyone shouted in unison, and the nearby trees immediately startled some birds.

"Damn! Can't you be quiet? Nanying was taken aback, "We're on a secret march!" ”

"Remember!" He said proudly, "This stepping thing is called a horse pedal, and this is the general's unique equipment, so you must definitely keep it a secret!" ”

"Once the news leaks, the enemy may use this equipment against ourselves!" Nan Ying snorted heavily, "If this happens, be careful that Lao Tzu kicks your ass!" ”

The cavalry burst into laughter.

"Now, rest now!" Nanying smiled again, "Tomorrow, let's go and kick Yan Zheng's ass first!" ”

"Yes! My lord! ”

The night of May was no longer bitterly cold, and the cavalrymen soon fell into a deep sleep after assigning their men to patrol. Many of them were still wounded with flesh and skin, and although they had been rigorously cleaned and carefully bandaged, the soldiers were still wounded and distressed by the forced march that galloped more than 100 miles a day. If it weren't for a general worthy of death, they might have lost the will to continue fighting!

The Southern Eagle made a round around and tightened the uncovered marching blankets of the soldiers. Previously, because of the need for secrecy, he had given the order that no fire should be lit at night, and some of the warriors were still a little weak, so he was obliged to take care of them.

Nanying looked at the dark mountains in the distance and sighed softly, tomorrow, how many of these warriors will survive after tomorrow?

A figure slowly walked from the shadows in the forest, and Nan Ying held the hilt of the knife vigilantly, but did not say a word.

That person finally appeared in the faint starlight, it was Pei Yuanshao.

He gave a salute and said softly, "My lord! Can I talk to you about it? ”

Nan Ying nodded, although this kid has been completely disappointed in the Yellow Turban Army, he is indeed truly obedient. But if he is willing to accompany him to Ganling to die, even Nanying himself does not believe it. At this time, Pei Yuanshao's heart must be full of panic and doubts, right?

Sure enough, Pei Yuanshao hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "My lord!" Are you really sure to take Ganling? And it was only with 500 soldiers and horses! ”

Nan Ying looked at him with a smile and said, "What? Is General Pei not confident in Ben General? ”

Pei Yuanshao hurriedly said: "My lord misunderstood!" After the battle of Neihuang, the last general was really convinced of the adult's ability, and even feared! But! ”

He gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive the last general, as a defeated general who was once regarded as an outcast, the last general does not want to have the same encounter a second time!" So the last will want to know what the adults really mean! ”

"You're an honest man!" Nanying said happily, "Good! Ben will love the likes of you. Then Ben will tell the truth! said that he wanted to take Ganling, it was completely improvised, and he attacked it with 500 people! It is Ben who will go through the first battle of Neihuang, and there are only 500 fighters left! ”

"What!" Pei Yuanshao was shaken violently, his face under the moonlight was even whiter, and he lost his soul and said, "Is it really here to send him to death?" But how could a general's talent be so hasty! ”

"What? Do you look down on the five hundred sons under Ben General" Nan Ying sneered, "Don't say that Ben Jiang still has a clever plan in his chest, what if he shakes Gan Ling?" Do you think a tiger can fail even in the face of a thousand sheep? “

Pei Yuanshao's eyes widened and said, "But after all, it's 20,000 soldiers and horses, will adults treat them as sheep?" The last general dared to remind the adults, don't think that Neihuang won a big victory in the first battle, and there will be no more talents in the Taiping Road........."

"Do you think Ben General doesn't know about Taiping Dao?" Nanying showed a weird smile, "Tell you a secret!" That is Ben Jiang, in fact, many people are acquaintances with Taiping Dao! So you will never make the mistake of underestimating the enemy! ”

Pei Yuanshao couldn't help but be stunned: "You? Adults actually know the characters in Taiping Dao? ”

"Well, this one!" Nan Ying looked up at the starry sky and made a look of trying to remember: "Chronologically?" It should be the three protectors of Taiping Dao, right? ”

"Three Dharma Protectors!" Pei Yuanshao exclaimed, "But haven't they disappeared a long time ago?" ”

"That's right!" Nanying smiled evilly, "Because they all died at the hands of this general!" ”

He looked at Pei Yuanshao's bloodless face, and continued: "Then it's Yang Kun!" ”

"Yang Kun? Is the beast handsome? Pei Yuanshao said dumbfoundedly, "Although the last general has joined Taiping Dao for less than five years, he has already heard of this person's name!" Is he also dead at your hands? ”

"No, no, no!" Nan Ying smiled, "Now this beast commander is Ben General's closest brother, or the most reliable subordinate!" Maybe it won't be long before you get to know him, because Ben has already secretly ordered him to come to rendezvous from the Taihang Mountains! ”

Pei Yuanshao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and couldn't help licking his dry lips and said, "The general is indeed extraordinary!" But these characters at the level of Qu Shuai are just like the last general, and they don't have much to offer........."

"That's a good point!" Nan Ying nodded incessantly, "No wonder! In the first battle of Yiyang, there were seven Taiping Dao Qu Shuai who would have been killed by himself! Well, Ben will remember that one of them seems to be named Wang Du........."

"What do you say! I understand! Pei Yuanshao's body shook suddenly, a look of extreme fear flashed on his face, and the sweat on his forehead also trickled down, "I finally understand!" I know who you are! You must be the one in Master's mouth! ”

"Oh?" Nan Ying was puzzled, "Do you know who I am?" Who is your master? ”

Pei Yuanshao was stunned for a long time, and finally calmed down: "He is Zhang Liang!" ”

Nanying suddenly realized: "It turned out to be him!" No wonder he knows that this will be virtual and real, if he didn't run fast in Yiyang's first battle, he would be afraid that he would not be able to escape his life! ”

Pei Yuanshao said with difficulty: "Zhang Liang once sternly warned several of our apprentices in private, saying that if you meet a young doctor surnamed Nan, you must stay away!" But my lord, you are obviously the Sima of the Han Army, not a doctor! And a few days ago, the adult used the pseudonym of Yin Nan again, so the last general didn't think of the adult at all! ”

"General Rengong is really loving!" Nanying sneered, "He probably didn't tell you a thing, did he?" Even Zhang Jiao almost died at the hands of the general! ”

Pei Yuanshao was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Why does the last general's heart seem to have been numb, if he hears such news on weekdays, I am afraid that he will already jump!" ”

Nan Ying smiled, his deep gaze kept looking into his heart: "Then General Pei, do you still have any doubts now?" Do you still think that it was a hasty move for Ben to bring only 500 men and horses to attack Ganling? ”

Pei Yuanshao was stunned for a while, and suddenly knelt down and said: "The last general will first rebel against the court, and then rebel against the Taiping Dao, although they are all helpless actions forced by the situation, but they are really desperate!" The last general is willing to swear to follow the adults to the death, and only ask the adults to take them in! ”

"Excellent! Ben will let you eat the last reassuring pill! Nan Ying happily pulled him up, "You know Ma Yuanyi, right?" ”

Pei Yuanshao was stunned and said: "Marshal Ma Daqu is the well-deserved No. 4 leader of Taiping Dao, how can the last general not know?" In fact, he is the most admirable person in the Taiping Dao! It's a pity that after the defeat of the Battle of Luoyang, there was no news of him, and it was said that he was dead! ”

He suddenly came to his senses: "My lord, don't you want to say that even Ma Yuanyi is also!" ”

Nanying "shhh He lowered his voice and said, "After returning to Luoyang, Ben will naturally arrange for you to meet!" ”

He looked at Pei Yuanshao's eyes gradually lit up with confidence, and couldn't help laughing: "Very good!" Now you go and ask Gao Sima and all the marquis to come over! Regarding tomorrow's offensive operation, I am going to tell you a story about 'Li Yuxue taking Caizhou at night'. Of course, the actions of our army are not completely rigid, and some tactical modifications still have to be made! ”

"Yes! My lord! Pei Yuanshao seemed to have unloaded all his burdens, turned around, and walked with brisk steps.

Only Nan Ying showed a helpless smile behind him, he spent so much time on his lips and tongues, and he was cheeky and boasted to himself, and even did not hesitate to expose the secrets of Ma Yuanyi and Yang Kun, just to calm your heart! Because you're the most indispensable part of the whole offensive plan! If you don't have grace and power, how can you get your sincere investment! Only in this way can the plan of the surprise attack on Ganling be successful, otherwise these 500 brothers will die without a place to be buried!
