Chapter 142: The Old Man at Dusk
The rushing Montenegrin army broke the tranquility of the countryside, and the people who didn't have time to pack up their belongings could only leave here quickly with their children and the elderly.
Some people couldn't react and were blocked in the village by the Montenegrin army, bursts of screams came, the Montenegrin army entered the village to loot property, and the villagers could not argue, and cut the people to the ground with a knife, and grabbed the small bags of grain in the arms of the people with a soft cry and walked away.
Zhao Yi clenched the sword in his hand, and just wanted to lead his troops to rush over, but was blocked by Murong Fu, "General, the Black Mountain army has a thousand people, and the two hundred soldiers of our department may not be able to compete with it." ”
"General Murong is right, the safety of Bolai is the most important thing at present." Liu Bei also admonished Zhao Yi, the Black Mountain Army is very powerful, but there are only 200 people on his side, how can he fight against it. At this moment, it is very important to escort Zhao Yi out of this place of right and wrong safely.
Murong Fu and Dian Wei are also bloody people, if there is no Zhao Yi present, even if there are only a hundred soldiers in their hands, they will rush down and fight with the Black Mountain Army to win time for the evacuation of the people. But at this moment, Zhao Yi is here, and Murong Fu and Dian Wei are a little jealous. If Zhao Yi made any mistakes, who could lead the army?
Zhao Yi looked at everyone's faces in his eyes, and pulled out the long sword in his hand, "If the official escapes today, what face will there be in the future." ”
"The general is in danger of Jizhou's safety, how can he easily make a risk!" Murong Fu persuaded Zhao Yi.
"General Hugh wants to say more, follow me to kill and kill these Montenegrin troops who have brought disaster to the country and the people." Zhao Yi's eyes became more and more cold, Zhao Yi is not a person who does not distinguish between important and important, the reason why he acts like this is that he is not used to the arrogant style of the Black Mountain Army, and the other is that he cares about the safety of Xiao Zhao Yun. How could the seed generals that Zhao Yi valued die at the hands of these Montenegrin troops.
Although Murong Fu and Dian Wei felt that Zhao Yi's actions were very rash, they admired them very much, as generals who commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they still had such a love for the people, which made Dian Wei and Murong Fu very admirable. They all feel that it is their blessing to be able to do their best for a generation of male masters.
Although Liu Bei admired Zhao Yi's approach, he did not agree. Zhao Yi is resourceful and uses soldiers like a god, why can't he break this trade-off. However, since Zhao Yi had already made a decision, Liu Bei, as the general under the account, naturally had no right to refute, and waited for Zhao Yi to give an order.
Zhao Yi pointed to the rural alley, "General Murong, our troops are divided into two roads, and you rush through this alley." After briefly explaining the precautions, Zhao Yi waved his hand and rushed in with his soldiers.
These 200 soldiers drilled into the alley like two long dragons, relying on the speed of the horse and the sword, and harvesting the lives of the Montenegrin army between swings, the Montenegrin army had no experience in fighting with the elite cavalry, and the leaders of the department did not have Gao Shun's strategy, and the Montenegrin army suffered heavy casualties in a quarter of an hour.
The arrogant Montenegrin army just now was chased away by Zhao Yi's officers and soldiers at this time, but how could people have cavalry fast, and they were caught up by the cavalry and killed themselves when they moved.
Zhao Yi took Dian Wei and Wen Qin straight to Xiao Zhao Yun's courtyard and fought with these Black Mountain Army, Dian Wei's double iron halberd in his hand quickly waved, turning into a black shadow, and the Black Mountain Army fell to the ground immediately after contacting it. A lot of corpses fell on the ground, and they walked into the courtyard where Xiao Zhao Yun was.
Zhao Yi, who was moving quickly across the horse, saw that there were many people surrounded by Zhao Yun's courtyard, and the sound of fighting came one after another. Could it be that Zhao Yun blocked these Black Mountain Army? Thinking of this, Zhao Yi was very excited, drove the horse and walked quickly, and from a distance, he saw an old man with a white beard in Zhao Yi's courtyard.
The old man's eyes exuded a clear essence, and the silver spear in his hand stabbed out frequently at an extremely tricky angle, and the blood gushing from the chest of the Black Mountain Army sprinkled on the old man's white robe, like a plum blossom in the snow.
Dian Wei rushed over, waving the iron halberd in his hand left and right to cut down several Montenegrin soldiers, and the officers and soldiers behind Dian Wei rushed into with the gap that Dian Wei tore, and most of the Montenegrin army fell.
The old man in the field looked appreciatively at Dian Wei, who was wielding an iron halberd to slash and kill the enemy, stroked his beard and nodded slightly, very satisfied with Dian Wei's martial arts. After the Montenegrin army in the courtyard was killed by Dian Wei and others, they turned around and rushed towards the fleeing Montenegrin army.
Zhao Yi stayed here, and carefully looked at the old man in front of him, the old man's hair and beard were all white, his face was full of vicissitudes, and the dry skin showed that the old man was no longer in Shaohua, Zhao Yi could only think of the old man's wisdom and martial arts when he was young from that pair of bright eyes.
The silver spear in the old man's hand was slanted into the ground, and he gave his hand to Zhao Yi slightly, which was regarded as thanking Zhao Yi for saving his life, and then he didn't pay attention to Zhao Yi anymore, but called Zhao Yun out of the house.
Zhao Yi didn't blame the old man for his rudeness, he still looked at the old man with a smile, and glanced at the corpse on the ground, more than 30 Montenegrin soldiers died in the hands of the old man, and the injuries were all fatal. It can be seen that this old man's spear skills are proficient, and he can be called vicious.
Xiao Zhao Yun walked out of the room with palpitations, was startled when he saw the corpse on the ground, and glanced at the blood on the old man's body, Xiao Zhao Yun asked with concern, "Master, how are you?" ”
"Master?!" Zhao Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Hearing Zhao Yi's surprised voice, Xiao Zhao Yun turned his head and glanced at Zhao Yi, "Why are you here?" ”
The old man stroked Zhao Yun's hair with a smile, turned his head and asked, "Gongzi's subordinates are excellent in martial arts, and the guards are even better at being one of ten." Who are you? Why is it here? "The old man has been walking in the world for many days, and his eyesight is not comparable to that of Zhao Yun, a young man. Judging from the strength and courage of Zhao Yi's department, the old man had already guessed that Zhao Yi's identity must be extraordinary.
Zhao Yi did not hide his identity, and said, "The seniors are as wise as torches, and the younger generations admire." It is not a secret that the younger generation is the official army of the imperial court, and today he went to the village to find out the movements of the Montenegrin army, who would want to encounter such a situation. ”
Hearing that Zhao Yi was an official soldier, the old man nodded slightly, and the little Zhao Yun beside him had a bright eye, and hurriedly asked Zhao Yi, "Since you are an official soldier, do you know Zhao Yi's department?" ”
"Zhao Yi?" Hearing Zhao Yun say his name, Zhao Yi was slightly stunned, "I came to inquire about the news on the order of General Zhao." I don't know why Xiaoyou is looking for General Zhao? ”
Xiao Zhao Yun did not speak with a bitter face, the old man simply said the matter, some time ago there was a plague outbreak in Sizhou, Zhao Yun's mother was unfortunately infected, although the imperial court sank the medicine to the bottom of the well, but because Zhao Yun's mother was seriously ill, she had not yet recovered, and could only rely on the diluted medicine in the well water to hang her life.
Zhao Yun's father also went to Zhending County to ask for a prescription, but this prescription is a secret of the imperial court, how can it be said to the common people, and the secret recipe is sealed in the county government, and the government has adjusted the amount of medicine and distributed it to the counties below, and the county order is not particularly familiar with this prescription.
Zhao Yun's father returned in vain, secretly worried at home, at this time I heard the news that Zhao Yi led the army to Changshan County, and set off to Changshan County early this morning to find Zhao Yi to ask for prescriptions.
Zhao Yun's strange behavior before, Zhao Yi only understands now, no wonder when he heard himself ask if there was a patient, Zhao Yun's reaction was so big, it turned out that he was afraid that his mother would be found out that he was suffering from the plague and would be isolated by everyone.
The official army in front of him is Zhao Yi's department, it really takes no effort to get it, Zhao Yun begged Zhao Yi to help him find a prescription, for Zhao Yun's request, Zhao Yi will naturally agree, just wanted to enter the house to see Zhao Yun's mother's situation, at this time Dian Wei and Murong Fu and others came in to report, "General, the Black Mountain thieves have been wiped out by all the officers and soldiers of our department." ”
"Okay." Zhao Yi rubbed his palms excitedly, and the two hundred guards actually defeated a thousand Montenegrin troops, which made Zhao Yi very happy, and his confidence in defeating the Montenegrin army was even greater. Let these soldiers wait outside, Zhao Yi entered the house to check the situation of Zhao Yun's mother, Zhao Yi checked Zhao Yi's mother's pulse, checked Zhao Yun's mother's face again and again, and smiled bitterly, "Where is this plague, it is clearly typhoid fever." "No wonder it's not good after drinking so many potions, it turns out that it's not a plague. Speaking of which, if it is a plague, Zhao Yun and Zhao Yun's father, who get along with her day and night, have not been infected at this time, how can they be jumping and jumping like now.
"Typhoid fever?!" Zhao Yun was overjoyed to hear this, as long as it wasn't the helpless plague.
Not enough, Zhao Yi warned Zhao Yun, "Fortunately, I found it early, if it is a day or two late, your mother's life will be in danger." Zhao Yi's words were not alarmist or scaring Zhao Yun, the potion to treat the plague was of no use to typhoid fever. Zhao Yun's mother almost died at the hands of this father and son.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he immediately knelt down and begged Zhao Yi to treat his mother, Zhao Yun's mother's illness was not difficult to deal with, but even if it was treated, it would take a month of recuperation, thanks to Zhao Yun not finding a prescription, otherwise this bowl of thick medicine would have to kill this woman.
Zhao Yi pondered for a while, "Madame's illness is not difficult to treat, but it also needs to be recuperated for a month after treatment, we have just killed many soldiers of the Black Mountain Army, I expect them to not give up, and the revenge will only come immediately, and there is no benefit in recuperating here." Zhao Yi walked back and forth in the room for two steps, "Why don't you go back to Zhending County with me first, and after we have wiped out this Black Mountain Army on the mountain, we will do something about it." ”
Zhao Yun didn't dare to make up his own mind, but turned his head to look at his master, the old man paced around twice, judging from the behavior of the Montenegrin Army just now, it was simply some bandits who exterminated humanity, if they stayed here and waited for the Montenegrin Army to retaliate, it was better to leave here. Although the old man is conceited and has excellent martial arts, even if he rushed in just now, he didn't put it in his eyes, but he also has self-knowledge, he is old and is no longer the hot-blooded young man of the past, although the martial arts are very high, but the strength is insufficient, it is barely possible to kill in a short time like just now, if he fights for a long time, he will definitely lose.
"Okay, we can go back to Zhending County with you, but you have to promise us one condition."
