Chapter Seventy-Seven: Red Willow
To the east of Wuyuan, the red willow depression is hundreds of miles wide, the lakes and marshes are vertical and horizontal, the willows are lush and grassy, it is not like other places to be more yellow sand and bald stones, it can be said that the water and grass in the area of the fertile five plains are the most abundant and beautiful places. Therefore, there are many tribes living in it, and there are many people.
At this time, the first section of the Wuchuan Army was patrolling Waxi, and Yuwen Qiu personally led the army, accompanied by He Basheng, Yuwen Lian, and Yuwen Luosheng. I heard He Batsheng muttering in the array: "Is this King of Guangyang confused?" Knowing that we were at odds with Gao Huan's thieves, he assigned us to guard Gao Huan's back road... This, this... ”
Yuwen Qiu glared at him: "Do your thing, less!" ”
He Batsheng was unconvinced, and turned his head to make a grimace at the Yuwen brothers. Yuwen Luosheng persuaded: "Maybe the king of Guangyang is also kind, and he will take this opportunity to make peace with the two parties... ”
"Whew! Who wants him to make peace? He Batsheng couldn't hold back and shouted, "If you want me to say, let's withdraw our troops and go back." If the thieves come to Hongliuwa, they just kill Gao Huan's gangsters! ”
Yuwen Qiu was furious: "Break the beard! Why such nonsense? Because of private abolition, what kind of good man is he? ”
He Batsheng stuck out his tongue and lowered his head, not daring to speak anymore.
It turned out that there was a shortage of food in Wuyuan City, and in recent days, Wang Yuanyuan of Guangyang has been constantly dispatching troops and horses to collect them everywhere. Today, Gao Huan was ordered to collect grain and grass in the Hongliuwa area, and Yuan Yuan didn't know what to think, so he specially assigned Yuwen Qiu to lead a group of soldiers and horses to guard his back road. At this moment, Gao Huan has led the army into Wawa for a long time, and the Wuchuan army is stationed in the gap in the west of Mawa, thinking that it is a warning.
About another hour passed, and the sound of horses' hooves and carts on the east side of the gap was loud, needless to say, it was Gao Huan's return. Look at the harvest is not abundant, more than a dozen carriages are only stacked with a shallow layer, not as high as the car wall, the end of the team is a little alpaca, less than two hands--- it is no wonder, Wuyuan and even around the fertile field, the official army has come and the thief army has come, the thief army has left, the official army has come again, you grab it, I will sift it again, even if the red willow valley is slightly more abundant than other places, it should have dried up.
He Batsheng laughed, and was about to make a sarcastic remark, when he suddenly heard Yuwen even shout: "Don't you wait!" How did the king's decree to collect grain and grass captivate so many people? Are they all women? ”
He Batsheng fixed his eyes and saw that sure enough, there were seven or eight bearded women in Gao Huan's army staggering, all of whom had their hands tied and were connected back and forth with a long rope. I think it's a lot of lessons to be beaten along the way, but at this time, although they are sad and crying, they all dare not shout.
He Batsheng became angry namelessly, and immediately rushed to the front, shouting: "Thief and bird, it is simply not human to do things that hurt heaven and reason!" "I've heard Yu Jin say that Gao Huan has killed people and plundered women in Hongliuwa before, and he doesn't want to commit this evil act again today, which is unbearable!
Dou Tai jumped out and confronted He Batsheng: "What are you going to do?" ”
With a "choking" sound, He Basheng drew his sword in his hand, and roared like thunder: "You yes yes, I did the way for heaven and slaughtered you beast!" "As he spoke, he slashed with a sword.
Dou Tai didn't expect He Batsheng to come to the truth, he was startled, and he was in a hurry, and a lazy donkey rolled around, narrowly avoiding He Batsheng's knife. When I got up, I was covered in mud and embarrassed.
When He Batsheng wanted to chase and slash again, a large number of soldiers under Gao Huan's command rushed over and stopped in front of him, where did they rush over for a while? Nai raised his knife and scolded: "That beast, if you have the guts, you have come out to fight!" ”
Dou Tai was angry and hateful, and was about to draw his sword to fight, but Duan Rong stepped forward and grabbed him, and even slapped his eyes, so he gave up.
At this time, Gao Huan opened his mouth, and his tone was not good: "Is this how General Yuwen disciplines his subordinates?" Wielding a knife to chase and slash colleagues, where is my Great Wei military law? ”
Yuwen Qiuce came immediately: "Is Gao Tongjun talking about Heba Erlang?" ”
"Isn't it him?"
Yuwen Qiu ignored Gao Huan, but turned his head and shouted at He Batsheng: "Erlang! Why is the knife technique so bad, that even a single beast can't be killed? ”
He Batsheng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and laughed: "It's Erlang who is useless, and when he turns around, he will slaughter that beast, cut off his head and send it to his uncle to make amends!" ”
After the battle, Dou Tai was furious and desperately wanted to rush out. Duan Rong and several soldiers rushed up and grabbed him to death.
Gao Huan was also angry and shouted, "The surname is Yuwen, how are you doing?" ”
Yuwen Qiu snorted coldly: "Acquaintances, quickly let these women go back." For my sake, for the sake of the alpacas, this is the end of the day. ”
Gao Huan sneered again and again, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "The surname Yuwen, I was ordered to come here to collect food needs, and I am in a hurry to rush back to Wuyuan at this moment." You must know that this place is far away from Wuyuan, in case the thieves attack, you will spoil the king's great affairs! ”
Yuwen Qiu rolled his eyes: "What the king wants you to collect is grain and grass, not women and children!" You claim to be an official and an army, but what is the difference between what you do and a thief? In this case, what is the difference between a thief coming and not coming? ”
"You..." Gao Huan's face was blue and white, his chest rose and fell, and when he looked at Yuwen Qiu, he saw that the other party's eyes were sharp and square, and he knew that this matter would not be good...
After a long time, Gao Huan raised his horsewhip and whipped it in the air, shouting angrily: "Let them go!" It's all gone! His subordinates were self-conscious, and when they heard the Lord speak like this, they were so happy not to confront the Wuchuan army, and hurriedly stepped forward to untie the ropes. The women hurriedly ran away, and immediately went into the depression and disappeared.
Only then did Yuwen turn his horse's head and lead the Wuchuan army away. He Batsheng laughed, feeling that today was very refreshing.
On the bank of the red willow valley, Dou Tai jumped like thunder: "Old Duan, what are you doing to stop me?" Only grabbed such a small amount of grain and grass, and most of them couldn't pay the difference, so Ben pointed to giving these bearded women to General Li and begging him to say a few good words in front of the king. It's good now, go back empty-handed, and wait to be punished! ”
Duan Rong smiled, waved his hand, and a soldier escorted the two of them over. When Dou Tai looked at it, it turned out that they were two miscellaneous girls, who were approved to hide in the army in military uniforms, no wonder Yuwen Qiu and the others never found out. The two girls have high noses and deep eyes, beautiful faces, especially full bodies and youthful youth, which are ten times and a hundred times stronger than the cluster of bearded women just now.
Dou Tai turned his worries into joy, patted Duan Rong on the shoulder and said, "Haha, it's still your old Duan who has a lot of means!" ”
At this time, Gao Huan also walked over, glanced at the two girls, and didn't say a word.
Dou Tai laughed and said: "Wuchuan people are as stupid as pigs, and they are still self-righteous, haha, it's funny." Gao Lang, you can't stay here for a long time, let's go? ”
Gao Huan didn't move, his eyes were like knives: "The people of Wuchuan are pressing step by step, and they are too much to bully." If we continue like this, how can we gain a foothold in Wuyuan? ”
Duan Rong nodded: "It's really too deceitful!" ”
Dou Tai thought for a while and said, "These two little ladies are very attractive, and General Li will definitely love them." Why don't you take this opportunity and ask General Li to make the decision for us? ”
Duan Rongyi frowned: "The Wuchuan people are not small, and most of the Wuyuan armies are unwilling to provoke. I'm afraid that General Li will accept the beauty on the front foot, and the back foot will just forget about it. ”
Gao Huan said: "Atai's idea is good. He smiled and beckoned: "Come on, come on, push those two little ladies closer, and I'll see how she looks first." ”
When Dou Tai heard this, he grabbed one in one hand, and it seemed that he had brought the two bearded girls over. With a filthy face, he smiled and said, "Gao Lang, do you want to try it?" ”
The sword light is like practice, the blood dance is like crying, and the two bearded girls who are in their prime don't hum, and their necks are slashed by a long knife, and they lose their lives in an instant.
Dou Tai was taken aback: "Gao... High... Gao Lang! You... You, you, you ... Good two little girls, what did you do to take her life? ”
Gao Huan slowly returned the knife into the sheath, looking as usual. Immediately, he shook his head and sighed: "Yuwen Qiu is really ruthless, such a fresh and tender two little girls, he can also do it." I have repeatedly stated that this is the concubine given by Chief Hongliuwa Zahu to General Li Shuren Li, but unfortunately, he Yuwen Qiu only didn't hear it, and said that the woman was ominous, and he would never be allowed to bring it into the army. You say, "What can I do?" ”
