Chapter 442: Killing the King (31)
In the north of the mountains, where tens of thousands of people were entangled and did not know in what direction the situation would go, there was an undulating hill stretching between the galloping mountains.
Above these hills, there is still snow and ice. In the land of clouds, these ice and snow will not be digested until Meng Chun.
A few horsemen and horses appeared on the top of the hills, looking north at the mountains.
Yuan Junzhang was in the midst of these rides, his face was full of wind and frost and exhaustion, and even a beautiful hair that was visible in the past was already tangled and messy at this time. And the big man wrapped in his body is also old and dirty, and I don't know how many distances and how many things this No. 2 person in Hengan Yingyang Mansion has traveled and experienced in this short period of time.
The mounts of these people also looked thin and long, with bulging ribs and fat loss. Standing still on the hills, his abdomen was rising and falling violently, and his fur was covered with sweat, as if he had come from a rapid march all the way, and he was tired to a considerable extent.
Heng'an Yingyang Mansion went south in the empty cloud city, and Yuan Junzhang fell behind in the name of taking care of the aftermath. Normally, there are not many horses and horses, and there are no people to drag them down, so they should be able to catch up with the brigade early, and they shouldn't be tired like this!
On the top of the hill of Yuan Junzhang's Lema, he slowly glanced around, and he could see the traces left by the camp of the brigade not far away. Above the snowfield, there are hastily erected stoves everywhere, and there are remnants of bonfires all over the ground, and it is a mess. The birds rose and fell over the abandoned camp, but they could not find any food, and after a while, they scattered. And countless footprints, just south from here, straight into the mountains, have not been completely buried by the wind and residual snow.
Yuan Junzhang whispered to himself: "Today, when I set off tomorrow, I was more than half a day's journey, and I was able to catch up!" ”
Several of his subordinates looked at Yuan Junzhang and didn't say anything, their haggard faces looked gloomy and full of nervousness.
Yuan Junzhang nodded and asked his subordinates, "What about people?" ”
Several of his men did not reply, but stood up in the stirrups, looking around with all their might. And Yuan Junzhang didn't say anything, just took out the saddle bag, but only touched the last half of the corn, the war horse smelled the fragrance, came over, and ate sweetly, but the two bites had already eaten it all, and he was still licking Yuan Junzhang's hand.
Yuan Junzhang wiped it casually and sighed in his heart.
Hengan Yingyang Mansion has really come to the point of exhaustion. If this last fight fails, then the only way to go north to the grassland and send people under the fence. And the probability of success in this last fight, from Yuan Junzhang's own point of view, even if he is the most optimistic, I don't know if there is a percent!
There are so many variables in between.
And even if it succeeds, Liu Wuzhou and his own reputation, I'm afraid that it will be ruined?
Thinking of this, a cold smile appeared at the corner of Yuan Junzhang's mouth.
What about a bad reputation? In this world, it is always the winner who has the final say!
And Liu Wuzhou is also the same as his own thoughts.
Risking death to fight Goryeo, then turning back to the clouds, rebuilding Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, and fighting bloody battles with the Turks. Charging through the snow and escaping death countless times, just to fight a bloody way in this world and trample those high-ranking families under their feet! Let the Liu family and the Yuan family also become new wealthy families!
When rebuilding Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, he needed a good reputation, so Liu Wuzhou and he did not hesitate to scatter all their family wealth, Corporal Lixian, and share weal and woe with the soldiers. But at this fateful time, any reputation can be discarded!
As long as you can survive in this world, as long as you don't lose your strength and power, as long as you work hard all these years, it won't become a waste!
One of his subordinates suddenly let out a whistle. And not far away, there is also a whistle in response. Then he saw a few horsemen turn out from under a hill in front of them, let go of their speed, and gallop towards them.
In a short time, the horses were already galloping up the hills. Their appearance is similar to that of Yuan Junzhang and the others, thin and tired. Several people saluted Yuan Junzhang on the horse, and Yuan Junzhang waved his hand indifferently, but just asked, "What's the situation?" ”
The men looked around, as if they were worried that someone was eavesdropping on the place. The first horse replied in a low voice: "Before the sky is clear, Eagle Strike led the whole army south, and the generals of Ma Yi just watched coldly. And Le Langjun is the striker, he was once intercepted and killed, but he was destroyed by Le Langjun in a blink of an eye, and the army continued to move forward, and now the distance is calculated, it should not be far from Nanshang Pass! ”
Yuan Junzhang looked up to the sky and looked at the sky.
The sun was already setting in the west, and it was not too high from the top of the mountains, and it would not be long before the sky would get dark.
He and Liu Wuzhou's calculations have been smoothly carried out to this point. Everything was as he and Liu Wuzhou expected, engulfing tens of thousands of troops to the south, and those local generals in Mayi Yingyang Mansion were unwilling to fight with Hengan Yingyang Mansion who broke the kettle and played the banner of surrender! These tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians are about to reach Wang Rengong directly, no matter what kind of preparatory means Wang Rengong will arrange, they can only pinch their noses and accept Liu Wuzhou's invitation to surrender!
The most important thing is that the attention of the Ma Yi soldiers arranged here has been attracted by Liu Wuzhou's tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians!
At this moment, Yuan Junzhang couldn't help but tremble, but slowly closed his eyes.
The rest of the riders just didn't dare to make a sound, and looked at Yuan Junzhang quietly.
These people are Liu Wuzhou and Yuan Junzhang's most trusted henchmen. None of them came halfway, they were all villagers who followed them in Zhuang Lu when the two were local tyrants. went to North Korea to be born and die together, and after returning to Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, he never put him in the army as a general, but he has always been by his side as a personal guard, and he is the most intimate group of people who exchange their lives.
Between Yuan Junzhang and Liu Wuzhou, they have been using these most trusted guards to agree on contact locations everywhere and always maintain contact!
These things, even if they are as close as Yuan Junwei and Liu Wuzhou are as kind as Wei Chigong, they don't know!
Yuan Junzhang whispered to himself: "This Xu Le is really very powerful............
With a sigh of emotion, Yuan Junzhang shook his head again: "It's a pity that such a talent can't be used by us in the future............"
One of the guards finally couldn't help but ask, "Changshi, what about the team that responded?" ”
Yuan Junzhang opened his eyes, and he was majestic, stabbing several guards to tremble. A sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed back casually: "Isn't it right in front of you?" ”
The guards sent by Liu Wuzhou tried their best to look north, and they saw that to the north of the lead-gray canopy, a group of men and horses were appearing, converging into a huge torrent, rolling southward. These horses did not raise flags, did not beat drums and horns, but just marched south in silence.
These horses are also wearing fur hats, and everyone has horses, but they are the Turkic army that once fought a bloody battle with Hengan Yingyang Mansion in the north!
