Chapter 37: The Chang'an Spy War (II)

The road leading to Qinchuan in Chang'an passes through very few cities, after passing through martial arts, Xinping, and then to the northwest nearly a thousand miles of distance is full of wilderness, dense forests and barren mountains, the mountains are many dangerous roads, wild beasts are rampant everywhere, the population is extremely sparse, it is an ideal place to kill people, rape and beat black sticks, and be a traitor and a robber.

When the sun had just climbed the top of the mountain, on this difficult road, suddenly came a tour ......group of hundreds of magnificent carriages, oh, it should be the army, there were more than 3,000 people, which was a lot, but all of them were disheveled, and the flags of the troops were crooked, and there were many people who were drunk, carrying weapons, and walking unsteadily. For no other reason, Dong Erye, the head of this tour group, was nervous for a while after a intimidation in Xianyang, and his old illness recurred.

In the ultra-luxurious carriage of the Ai family, Dong Chong hugged the two beautiful female slaves of the Huns that Ai Jin bought in Xinping, and he was so drunk that he stammered, "Okay, good brothers, after I go back this time, I, I will definitely protect you in front of my eldest brother, give, give you an official." ”

"Okay......, okay, thank you first, second master." Ai Jin was more drunk than him, lying on the lap of a slave girl and said dizzily: "My family has not had an official for four generations, if the second master gets me an official, it would be strange if I didn't euthanize my father to death." Second Brother Ma, did you say? ”

Ma Zhuang had the best amount of wine, and he still kept pouring wine into his mouth, and it took a long time to reply: "It's a pity that we haven't even caught a small thief, even if Second Master Dong helps us, the Taishi will not give us too many officials." ”

Dong Chong waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, when I get to Qinchuan, I will get a few prisoners from the prison for our credit, and no one will dare to speak." ”

Ai Jin, Ma Zhuang and the others were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked Dong Chong, but they didn't know that the credit they wanted was in the dense forest on the side of the road, staring at their team......

On a low hill more than two miles away from the avenue, the ground of dozens of zhang square circle is covered with splendid carpets, there are a few seats on it, and there are golden cups and jade bowls on several places, wine and delicacies, a frivolous young man is pouring himself a drink, the young man is about twenty-five or six years old, wearing a crown of bird feathers, dressed in splendid clothes, and the clothes are full of bells, and the bells jingle between gestures, which is very pleasant. Outside the carpet with the young man in gorgeous clothes as the center, there stood seven or eight hundred warriors with swords and swords, all dressed in splendid clothes, brilliant and brilliant, and looking rich and luxurious.

The young man in Chinese clothes was drinking, and a soldier in brocade hurriedly ran to the carpet and knelt down on one knee, "Tell the boss that Dong Zhuo's horse convoy has quickly entered the ambush circle, and Dong Zhuo's army, who is secretly protecting them, is still more than thirty miles away from them." ”

The young man in Chinese clothes took a sip of wine, and said with a flirtatious smile as the bell rang: "Their formation, is it beautiful?" ”

The herald didn't wonder why the boss could ask, and immediately replied: "Back to the boss, the formation of Dong Zhuo's horse convoy is very ugly, and the formation of the army that follows behind is quite beautiful. ”

The young man in Chinese clothes shook his head and said with a chuckle: "The army behind is in a beautiful formation, we will not destroy the beauty, break the bridge, let them separate the front and rear, and you take two hundred people to contain them." As for the ugly team in front, let's use a beautiful formation to cross their ugly formation! ”

After the herald left with two hundred soldiers, the young man in Chinese clothes stood up and clapped his hands to the remaining Liubai soldiers and said: "Brothers, the opportunity for our Jinfan thieves to clear their identities has come, as long as we grab the seeds of Shenmi from that ugly team, the beautiful Lord Zhang Ren will clear our identities and give us official promotions, so that we can spread our beauty to the world." ”

……

From the beginning of Chang'an, Zhao Yun took two thousand Dong Zhuojun to follow Dong Chong's team, secretly capturing the princes who tried to rob and steal, as Fa Zheng expected, I heard that Dong Chong, the recognized waste general in Dong Zhuo's army, escorted the divine rice seeds to Qinchuan, and the princes immediately gave up the dangerous plan to steal the divine seed in Chang'an, and all turned their attention to Dong Chong and his party, and they also fell into Fazheng's treacherous scheme. Along the way, Zhao Yun's team has captured hundreds of princes and fine works, and Wu Yi even wiped out the Jingzhou fine works lurking in Yongzhou, and shot the famous Jingzhou general Wen Ping, which was an unexpected joy, but the Yizhou army, which had the most ambushes in Yongzhou, never showed up.

Thirty miles away from Dong Chong's army, Zhao Yun's army was marching slowly, and the scout in front suddenly came to report, "General Qiqi, the bridge ahead has been demolished for some reason, and we and General Dong have been separated. ”

Zhao Yun was taken aback, he didn't care about hiding the team, he hurriedly led the team to rush directly, and ran along the avenue for about a mile, and the bridge on a wide and deep river was really demolished and destroyed, and the river was so rapid that it could not be crossed by foot or horse, and the road on the opposite bank was also full of felled trees, completely blocking the road.

Zhao Yun slapped his thigh heavily and shouted: "Oops, it's a trick, the second general is dangerous!" Quick, grab the pontoon! ”

Zhao Yun's troops were about to grab the pontoon bridge, and a burst of rockets suddenly flew on the opposite bank, although they were far away and did not hurt a few Zhao Yunjun soldiers, but the trees on both sides of the road were set on fire, and the grass and trees were relatively dry in spring, and the wind in the mountains was strong, and the wind took advantage of the fire to swallow the road in the blink of an eye. And there was also a faint shout of killing in the distance, obviously the front had already moved.

Zhao Yun was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, although Dong Chong brought a lot of people, but they were all old and weak soldiers, and the rest were also some unscrupulous people who had never been on the battlefield and would only bully the people, which didn't play a role at all, Dong Chong himself was also lowly in martial arts, if he had any three strengths and two weaknesses, then how could he explain to the Taishi?

……

When the self-proclaimed Jinfan thieves killed next to Dong Chong's convoy, Dong Chong saw that there were few of them at first, and he wanted to fight, but Ai Jin screamed heartbreakingly, "Mom, Gan Ning, the boss of the Jinfan thieves!" Dong Chong was scared half to death at once, and his fighting spirit was completely lost.

As early as more than a year ago, when Luoyang held a civil and military conference, Dong Chong often heard his eldest brother talk about Gan Ning, praising him as a fierce general no less than Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, but it was a pity that he had no chance to receive him under his command. Dong Chong knows the level of Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's martial arts, so when he meets Gan Ning, who can be on par with Zhang Liao and Xu Huang, how many moves can he take?

But it was still necessary to confirm whether the person who came was Gan Ning Dong Chong, and grabbed Ai Jin's collar, "Do you know him Gan Ning?" Could it be mistaken? ”

Ai Jin was so frightened that he couldn't stand on his feet, his legs trembled, his upper and lower teeth fought, his crotch was wet, and he stammered: "No, that's right, my eldest brother who runs a business said that he looks like him, wearing brocade, with bird feathers on his head, wearing bells, and liking gorgeous clothes, in total, there are more than 800 people, all of them are extremely fierce, killing people without blinking, known as the eight hundred brocade sail thieves." My caravan has been robbed by him I don't know how many times......"

Dong Chong pushed Ai Jin away fiercely, without saying a word, jumped out of the car and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Boss Gan, Uncle Gan, we surrender, we surrender, you must not kill me!" ”

As the saying goes, if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears. This is true, after Dong Chong took the lead in surrendering, his two thousand personal soldiers immediately threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, the gang of gentlemen and the family men they brought were faster than them, all kneeling and kowtowing like chickens pecking broken rice, surrendering to the Jinfan thieves who were much smaller than them, but none of them dared to resist.

Seeing that Dong Chong's team was still far away from him and surrendered on his knees, Gan Ning was startled, for fear of some conspiracy, so he stopped from a distance, and instructed the brothers to first investigate whether there was an ambush around, and after repeatedly confirming that there was no ambush, Gan Ning rode his horse close to Dong Chong and the others, and asked cautiously: "Our gorgeous attack has not started yet, why did you surrender ugly?" ”

As soon as Gan Ning's words were asked, Dong Chong had already cried with a handful of snot and tears, "Uncle Gan, I have a ninety-year-old mother waiting for me to retire and die, and I have sixteen wives waiting for me to raise me, if I don't surrender, you will kill me, but I can't die." Dong Chong pointed to the carriage and said, "Uncle Gan, all the divine rice seeds you want are in the car, you can move them, as long as you spare the villain's life." ”

Gan Ning was stunned, and said in his heart that this guy spoke very directly. At this time, a Jinfan thief who had been ambushed in Chang'an for a period of time approached Gan Ning and said in a low voice: "Boss, this guy is Dong Zhuo's second brother, and he is the most wasteful, but I heard that Dong Zhuo loves him very much, if he is kidnapped, Dong Zhuo will definitely spend a lot of money to ransom him." ”

Although Dong Chong's martial arts can't be used, his ears are very effective, although the Jinfan thief's voice to Gan Ning is small, Dong Chong still hears it clearly, and without waiting for Gan Ning to speak, Dong Chong immediately shouted: "Uncle Gan, my eldest brother loves me very much, if you want money, as long as you let me go, you can ask as much as you want." If Uncle Gan wants to be an official, I will definitely ask my eldest brother to make you a big official! ”

Dong Chong's words were shouted quickly, but Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang shouted faster than him, "Uncle Gan, my father is the richest man in Chang'an, as long as you spare my life, you just have to open your mouth." "Uncle Gan, my family is the largest mule and horse shop in Yongzhou, uncle, you have any good horse you want, even if the little one is filial to you."

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, the three leading bosses all said so, and the others in Dong Chong and his party were not to be outdone, they shouted and shouted, begging Gan Ning to spare their lives, and some smart people immediately took out gold ingots and copper coins and put them in front of them, just kowtow and didn't say anything.

The Jinfan thieves had made a living by robbing houses and houses, and without waiting for Gan Ning to speak, they immediately went up to collect the money, but they didn't know if they didn't collect it, and they were shocked when they collected it, and they actually got more than 100,000 yuan worth of property on these people, which was higher than the income of the Jinfan thieves who robbed several caravans in Yizhou.

Looking at the mountains of belongings, Gan Ning scratched his head, his rule was that the guests would not hurt their lives if they cooperated, but now they are in Yongzhou, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not immediately go to ventilate and report the news, threatening the safety of their team. In the end, Dong Chong gave him an idea, "Uncle Gan, if you tie all of us to the tree, you won't be afraid that we will report the news." ”

Gan Ning thought for a while, nodded and said, "Very good, you can tie yourselves to each other's trees ugly, uncle, I will spare your lives gorgeously." ”

Dong Chong and his entourage were like being amnestied, and immediately found ropes and tied all their people to the tree, and in the end, when only Dong Chong, Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang were left, Gan Ning stopped them, "Slow, you don't need to tie up." ”

Dong Chong and the others were overjoyed, nodded and said, "Thank you Uncle Gan, we are very well-behaved, and we won't go to the official if we don't tie up." ”

Gan Ning shook his head, and the bell rang all over his body, "Wrong! Although you are extremely ugly, you are very valuable, let me go with the beautiful uncle, and wait for your eldest brother and father to redeem you with money or something, and then let you go. ”

Dong Chong and the others were so frightened that they begged for mercy again and again, but the Jinfan thieves didn't care about their crying and mourning, tied up the three of them and threw them into the carriage, Gan Ning sent someone to inform the Jinfan thieves behind the palace to cut down more trees to cover the road, and the whole army retreated after the fire, and Zhao Yunjun didn't even extinguish the fire on the other side of the river, so he could only watch the Jinfan thieves fly away.

Dong Chong, Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang were escorted to a carriage full of flour, because their whole bodies were tied up strongly, and the Jinfan thieves didn't bother to send someone to monitor them, but they just took care of the carriage and drank and gambled at the front desk, leaving Dong Chong and the other three crying in the carriage.

I don't know how long it took, as the carriage shook and the sky outside the window became darker, Dong Chong knew that the hope of others coming to save him was getting slimmer and slimmer, so he stopped crying, and let go of his fear, and his brain, which was usually not very useful, suddenly became flexible.

"Don't cry." Dong Chong whispered to Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang: "Do you want to die or live?" ”

"Woo......." Ai Jin, who was already in his twenties, sobbed and said, "Of course I want to live, my sixteenth aunt is only twelve years old, and she is still waiting for me to go back to raise her ......." ”

"If you want to live, bite the rope off my hand." Dong Chong turned over with difficulty, revealing the rope in his hand, "Quick, bite it open with your teeth." ”

Ma Zhuangqi said: "Second master, do you want to fight with them?" But are there three of us? ”

"Less nonsense, hurry up if you don't want to die, there's no time." Dong Chong said sharply.

Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang no longer hesitated, they went up and bit the rope on Dong Chong's hand, and I don't know how long it took, after biting out a few wounds on Dong Chong's hand, Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang finally broke the rope on Dong Chong's hand. Dong Chong's hands were free, and he immediately climbed in front of the bag of flour closest to the carriage door, untied the bag, took out a bag of things from his arms, opened it and poured it into the noodle bag.

"Second master, what are you?"

"Menghan medicine, I asked Wenhuahou when I set off from Chang'an, it is enough to cover thousands of people, I originally prepared it for the beauties of Qinchuan."

"Second master."

"What's the problem?"

"You come and dig into my arms, I also have sweat medicine in my arms, which is also prepared for Qin Chuan's eldest girl and little daughter-in-law."

"Second master, I also have it in my arms."

", you two aren't really a good thing."

"It's not like you learned it from the second master......

After the three bad kinds of sweat medicine prepared for Qinchuan beauties were poured into three bags of flour by Dong Chong, Dong Chong tied the mouth of the bag again, climbed back and put the rope on his hand indiscriminately, just waiting for the sky to be completely dark, and the Jinfan thief stopped cooking.

As Dong Chong expected, after it was dark, the Jinfan thieves and his party stopped to rest, lit a fire to boil water, and prepared to cook, but Dong Chong saw more than a dozen Jinfan thieves in charge of cooking in the carriage who opened another grain truck, and almost didn't cry, but Dong Chong was in a hurry and shouted: "Suffocate us, uncle, move some of the things in our car, we are about to suffocate to death." ”

Ma Zhuang and Ai Jin understood what he meant, and also shouted: "It's so stuffy, we're going to suffocate." ”

The Jinfan thieves who were cooking scolded and came over to check, and saw that the carriage was indeed stuffed with grain, and they were also worried about suffocating the three big fat sheep, so they didn't suspect anything, so they carried away some grain to cook with noodles, and locked the carriage, but unfortunately, the grain bags that Dong Chong poured into the sweat medicine happened to be all moved by them......

When Zhao Yun and his entourage finally extinguished the fire on the road, set up a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and rescued Dong Chong's team tied to the tree, asked for the road, and hurriedly chased after him, it was already the middle of the night, but Zhao Yun, who was anxious, saw a picture that he couldn't even dream of.

On the ground next to the fire, there are already lying all over the unconscious Jinfan thieves, many people have been tied up, Dong Chong, a recognized waste general in Dong Zhuo's army, is holding a big knife in his hand, and one foot is stepping on the head of Gan Ning, the brocade thief boss of the unconscious Megatron Yangtze River, and the two big gentlemen in Chang'an City, Ai Jin and Ma Zhuang, are standing next to each other with a sword, and the three of them are all carrying away with a sword.

Dong Chong gave a thumbs up triumphantly and pointed at himself, and said to Zhao Yun: "Zilong, you are late, the eight hundred brocade thieves have been taken down by us, and the credit for this time is not your share." ”

Zhao Yun's mouth was open enough to fit three eggs, and he was startled, Gan Ning, who was crawling on the ground, was probably about to have the effect of the sweat medicine, and his body moved slightly, so frightened that Dong Chong and the other three of them rushed towards Zhao Yun, "Zilong, save me......"
