Chapter 85: The Beginning of the End (1)
Next to the Shili Pavilion in the east of Luoyang City, Chen Cheng stretched out his hand and said, "Come." ”
Liu Qian grabbed his hand and stepped onto the horse. Chen Cheng pointed at Zhen Mingda and said to Wei Li: "Help send him to Cai Yong's mansion." ”
Wei Li nodded and said, "No!" ”
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Then there will be a period later!" ”
With that, he gently pinched the horse's belly, and the war horse galloped along the official road, and hundreds of horsemen followed him. Because he has a laissez-faire attitude, the farther away from Luoyang, the fewer people will follow him. They walked east for most of the night, then turned north and walked for a while before repairing in the open space by the roadside.
Yan Zhong fought for a long time, and then bumped on the horseback for half the night, he was already tired and wanted to die, but he still forced himself to say to Chen Cheng: "Junhou, where are we going?" ”
Chen Cheng had been fighting for much longer than Yan Zhong, but he was still full of energy, and he asked Yan Zhong, "I heard that Bodao is from Hanyang?" ”
Yan Zhong rubbed his eyes and said, "Could it be that the prince wants to go to Xiliang?" ”
"What does Bo Dao think?"
Yan Zhong was not sleepy now, he pondered for a while, and felt that this idea was still feasible, he originally paid attention to Chen Cheng to go to Jingzhou through Nanyang, because the strength of the family in Jingzhou was weak, and it was easier for them to show their skills. But if you want to say that the weakest place of the family's strength, it must be Xiliang.
Xiliang has been dissatisfied with Wang Hua for a long time, and successive generations of the Son of Heaven have sent troops to conscript, and several times beat the Qiang people in Xiliang to the ground, but the Xiliang rebels can always resurrect. After capturing Han Sui Bianzhang and embracing them as leaders, his power swelled to the top of history. Huangfu Song garrisoned Fufeng, and the places west of Fufeng, including Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan and other places, became the territory of the Xiliang Army.
With the divine martial arts of Huangfu Song, the rebels of Naxiliang had no choice but to hold on. After all, the imperial court gave him 30,000 soldiers and horses, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. And the Xiliang rebels can easily pull out 100,000 elite cavalry, plus Han Sui Bian Zhang and others are experienced in using soldiers, they will not give Huangfu Song any chance at all.
Even if they are now beaten as rebels by the imperial court, as long as they hide in the Xiliang realm, the imperial court will be helpless against them. Of course, the effect of running to the grassland is the same. But Xiliang is the place where the Han Empire once ruled, and whether it is household registration, output, or living conditions, it is much better than on the grassland.
The only question is whether the current leaders of the Western Liang Army, Han Sui Bian Zhang, will accept the rebellion of their Han Empire.
Chen Cheng asked Yan Zhongdao, "Han Sui Bianzhang, what kind of people are they?" Will it accept us? Or will they give us as a gift to the court? ”
He had a little impression of Han Sui, as if he later led troops to fight Cao Cao with Ma Chao, but he fell for Boss Cao's tricks, so that he was suspected by Ma Chao, and then killed each other. Chen Cheng remembers very clearly: The part where Boss Cao cut his beard and abandoned his robe was too ghostly........
As for the side chapters, that is to be completely ignorant. Later, when Cao Cao fought with the Xiliang Army, he didn't hear of such a number one person, and it was estimated that he had died before that. In this era, whether it is a natural disaster, a man-made disaster, or a disease, it can easily take a person's life. For example, Cao Cao had a son who could call an elephant, who was said to be very smart, but he died of illness when he was a teenager.
Yan Zhong thought for a while and said, "Although Han Sui raised troops in the name of killing eunuchs, he has never dealt with the imperial court, and he should accept us." As for Bian Zhang, he has been dead for several years. ”
"Should?"
Chen Cheng felt that Han Sui should be of average intelligence, otherwise how could he be played by Cao Cao between applause? The intelligence is definitely not as high as Zhuge Liang and Lu Su. But he still shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be possible, we still have seven or eight hundred horsemen here, but we can't pin our lives on these two words." ”
Yan Zhong looked to the side, some of the soldiers had already fallen asleep, and he said in a low voice: "If you know that we are going to Xiliang, I am afraid that half of the people here will run away." ”
Seeing that Chen Cheng was indifferent, he turned the topic back and said, "I have a lot of old memories in Hanyang, if the prince has any scruples, why don't you let me bring someone over first, and then send someone to greet the prince when the matter is clear?" ”
Neither of them said anything about the difficulties they would encounter on the way to Xiliang, but directly talked about what would happen after they arrived. Now there are hundreds of cavalry with them, and although this armed force is not very strong, it is enough to deal with the strong in the countryside and the intercepted imperial soldiers and horses.
Besides, even if you can't beat it, can't you run?
In this era, as long as you are not afraid of hardship, after bypassing the city, there are plenty of places for small troops to pass.
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to be so troublesome, let's go over together." If the Xiliang Army doesn't accept us, then we'll go to the grassland for shelter for the time being. Although the eunuch was exterminated, can the world really be settled? When the world is in turmoil, we will naturally have a chance to make a comeback. ”
Yan Zhong touched his aching thighs and said with a wry smile: "I also know that the world is about to be in chaos, who wouldn't know?" It's just that I don't think I can wait for that day. ”
Chen Cheng glanced at him and said, "You are only forty or fifty years old this year, why are you so twilight?" In the past, Jiang Shang only met King Wen when he was in his seventies, didn't he also achieve a lot of achievements? ”
When he said this, he remembered a poem, so he was about to recite the poem, but after looking at the surrounding environment, he felt that it was not too good, so forget it. Yan Zhong smiled and said, "If you can be as famous as Father Shang, then you will be willing to die immediately!" ”
"Hmph," Chen Cheng said, "We set fire to Luoyang, and maybe the history books will make a big mark." ”
Yan Zhong said calmly: "It can't be remembered for a hundred years, and it's not impossible to leave a stench for ten thousand years." ”
"Hey," Chen Cheng applauded lightly and said with a smile, "You are sincere at this time." ”
"My heart is like the sun and the moon, heaven and earth can be seen!"
"Okay, go to bed first, and then wake up tomorrow morning."
The soldiers set up camp hastily, and after a while they fell asleep loudly. Chen Cheng took out the tent, bed and other items and placed Liu Qian well. He lay himself on a pile of hay and soon fell asleep. Because he had killed so many people during the day, he kept fighting even in his dreams.
It was a strange feeling, and although he knew in his heart that it was just a dream, he manipulated his body to cut down the enemies one by one. Every time he slashed an enemy, every time the blade cleaved flesh, every time the tip of a spear pierced an enemy, he felt a shuddering thrill. I don't know how long the battle lasted, I don't know how many enemies I killed, I don't know how much time has passed, but he stands against the burning corpse, looking around, but there is only endless confusion.
The surroundings seemed familiar, with twisted palaces on the side, piles of corpses and burning wood on the ground, as if it were a repetition of the previous battle scenes.
Then he woke up, and the smell of burning flesh still seemed to be left on the tip of his nose. In the lower left corner of the line of sight, a green subtitle floats by, followed by a line of white subtitles, "Your weapon master level +1".
There are many mods for the "Mount and Blade" mods, some of which are very exaggerated in force and equipment. Among these mods, "Pande's Prophecy" is a very distinctive one. When the reputation reaches a certain level, or something has been accomplished, or somehow, attributes or skill points will be given.
Chen Cheng stared at the tent above his head for a long time, then stood up and stretched his body, feeling that his control over his body seemed to be stronger. The nail leaf rattled and woke up Liu Qian, who was sleeping soundly. She rubbed her eyes, got up from the bed, and looked at Chen Cheng with wide eyes.
"Go wash your face," Chen Cheng glanced at her and said, "There is eye." ”
Liu Qian immediately jumped up from the bed, bowed her head and rushed out. Chen Cheng tried to pull out the "Seven Star Treasure Knife" again and slashed it in the air. "Sue!", the blade cleaved the air with a soft sound. He slashed several times in a row and confirmed one thing, that is: there is a slight improvement in martial arts, but this progress is no different from nothing.
He put away everything in the tent, then lifted the curtain and walked out, putting the tent away. Yan Zhong had just walked over and saw a tent suddenly disappear, and said in surprise, "This ...... This......... What's going on? Why is the tent missing? ”
Chen Cheng said casually: "It's just a little trick." Look at you rushing over, is there something going on? ”
Yan Zhong still couldn't let go, pointed to the traces left by the tent, and said, "But..... This ........."
Chen Cheng looked to the side, the soldiers were cooking breakfast, and the war horses were gnawing on the grass on the ground, and he said thoughtfully: "It seems that there are fewer people." ”
Yan Zhong let out an "ah" and said, "Oh." Yes, a few Qu Junhou and Du Wei are gone, and now there are only more than 500 horsemen left, and most of them are Yue people......."
He made up his mind and said, "It's not okay to go on like this!" When we left Luoyang, we still had nearly 2,000 men, and now we have less than 600 horsemen left. Junhou, even if we want to go west to Liangzhou, we must bring more soldiers and horses. ”
Chen Cheng looked at the morale around him that was a little low, and said loudly: "The big husband is dominating the world, why do you need thousands of troops?" ”
Yan Zhong opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Junhou, it's okay to say this kind of thing, but it's useless." ”
Chen Cheng smiled and said loudly to the surroundings: "Now that we have been driven out of Luoyang, maybe we have been beaten as a rebel by the imperial court now." But the world is so big, there is a place for us. I am going to go west to Liangzhou, and as you all know, it is the territory of the Western Liang Army, and the future of this trip is unpredictable. If you are willing to come with me, please pack your bags after breakfast and go on the road later. If you don't want to go to Xiliang, I can repair a book and introduce you to Liaoxi. If you want to leave on your own, please do it yourself, a certain family will never force it! ”
