Chapter 43 "Sneaking in the Night"
Seeing his repeated rebuttals, Ah Zhen raised his eyes and glared at him. "Hu Che'er, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it, what are you talking about?"
"Give me your life, and I'll keep you safe." Ah Zhen said firmly.
"Alas......" Hu Che'er sighed heavily, and raised his eyes firmly. Brother Quanyi, what you say, let's do it. ”
"You have to believe in yourself, things are man-made, people will win the day, and there is no hurdle in the world that cannot be overcome." gave him some breath, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's rest quickly." ”
"Brother Zhen, you should rest early." Hu Che'er nodded cautiously, then ordered Niu Dan and Ma Ge a few words, and then went to the distance to find a hiding point.
"Brother Zhen, when the time comes, we will call you, you should rest early." Niu Dan and Ma Ge hugged Ah Zhen and then left.
"Alas......" retracted the map from the ground, Ah Zhen sighed secretly and leaned back against the tree, his mind blank.
Going deep into the hinterland, Su Da was also a little frightened, and asked weakly to the person who was leaning on the treewaist looking up at the sky: "Brother Zhen, can we rescue the eldest young master?" ”
Retracting his eyes from the morning light, Ah Zhen raised his hand and patted Su Dasu and the two of them, and said firmly: "Okay, you can rest for a while." ”
"Yes." It's all come to this point, and the only way to fight is to fight to the death. The two of them, who were silent, walked to the waist of the giant tree next to them and landed on the ground, leaning back against the waist of the tree and closing their eyes to sleep.
"Eh......" Ah Zhen slid his hands to his face, closed his eyes, and listened to the sound of birds that began to chirp in the forest, and his smart head turned rapidly. Is there any way to pass through the military fortress in the middle of the two cities without fail? Is there any way to do it?
Daimyo, handsome tent.
"What?" As soon as he finished washing his inner tent, and his butt had not yet sat in the hot handsome chair, He Shidao's eyes widened, and he yelled at the general Zhengxi who was kneeling on the ground: "Disappeared?" ”
"Yes." The Protector of the Western Metropolis is also full of incredulity, but several scouts are unanimous, and the facts cannot be argued.
"Nonsense." Yuan Meida, who came to the tent early with the generals, reprimanded: "The more than 200 living people disappeared overnight, can they not fly into the sky." ”
"Lord Overseer, the last general can't believe it, but the five scouts that can be sent are all the same." When the words fell, Zhengxi Daduhu's face was strange, and he muttered: "Maybe it can really fly to the sky." ”
When Yuan Meida heard this whisper, he clapped his hands and scolded angrily: "What kind of crime should you be guilty of protecting you in the western part of the country, if you dare to disturb the morale of the army." ”
For a while, dozens of people in the tent were silent, and they couldn't wait to rush forward and kill the old turtle, and they didn't understand why the emperor sent an old turtle to lead the army. The marshal's planned strategy for attacking the troops, he can't do it here or there. What is on the lips is always on guard, how can you recover the lost territory without attacking? Last time, General Xu and Zhengnan Dadu Hu were killed by him, and this time Zhennan Dadu Hu was captured because of his lack of help, this old turtle just wants to hide in the turtle shell, and millions of soldiers follow him here without stopping. Forget it, this old guy really thinks that he is a master of scheming, and he is not arrogant, and he is rebelling, spreading rumors, and intimidating generals with a lot of trumped-up charges, which is really fucking.
He Shidao was also very annoyed by Yuan Meida, but the emperor sent him to lead the army, and had to consult with him about everything, he did not agree that everyone could only do salary, even if he had the ambition to recover the territory, so he was grinded, and the military spirit had already been lost, so how to encourage.
"Alright, Senator." Seeing the indignation of the generals, He Shidao persuaded and explained: "The protection of the western capital is also reported according to the truth. ”
"Hmph...... "Although the prison army is at the same level as the commander, it is still half a level higher. Yuan Meida was not afraid at all, snorted at a group of generals who glared at him, sat back in his chair unhappily, closed his eyes and stopped talking.
When everyone saw his commanding appearance, they collectively turned their eyes to look at the big handsome. Damn, why didn't Jin Liao fly into the village with an arrow, and unfortunately just shot this old turtle to death?
Seeing that he persuaded the prison army, He Shidao turned his old eyes and said, "Conquer the west, protect most of them." ”
Zhengxi Daduhu, who was almost defiled, stood up and clasped his fists and saluted: "Xie Dashuai." ”
"No courtesy." Waving his hand, He Shidao asked urgently: "How did more than 200 people disappear?" Where to disappear? Come to me quickly. ”
"Yes." The Expedition to the West was guarded by several scouts as an account. "According to all the scouts' reports, yesterday we did see more than 200 people heading towards Weishan Liaozhai, but today all the scouts have reported no trace of them."
As soon as these words fell, the two dozen generals on the left and right sides shook their heads and whispered.
"Could it be that he has been killed by the Liao army?" He Shidao didn't believe that they would fly away.
"The last general originally thought so, but ......" Zhengxi Daduhu shook his head and said: "But last night Liaozhai was safe, without irritability or hustle. After the words fell, he looked up at the marshal in front of him, and asked suspiciously: "Although these more than 200 tent guards are ants compared to the Liao army, there are still more than 200 people, how can there be no worries and the sound of fighting?" ”
"This ......" everyone's heads were empty.
"Hmph......" Yuan Meida, who closed his eyes, saw that everyone was speechless, and snorted disdainfully: "What's the fuss about, it must be that these two hundred stupid pigs were killed by the Liao army hidden on the side of the road when they approached Weishan." "Flying away? Hmph, nonsense, ridiculous.
"What about the corpses?" Zhengxi Dadu naturally replied: "According to the scout's report, there are no corpses on the road, and there is no bloodstain from the fight, and there is no rain yesterday or today, even if it is 200 chickens, it is enough to dye a bush red." ”
"This ......" Yuan Meida stammered for a while, and his old face turned red and slapped the table again: "Does the place of the fight have to be on the road?" Why can't these two hundred stupid pigs break into the Liao village and be chopped into meat puree? ”
"According to reports, there was no restlessness in Liaozhai last night, and there was no sound of fighting. Not to mention that these more than 200 people can break into the village, even if they let them break in. After a pause, he looked at the old turtle and asked, "If 200 enemy soldiers break into our barracks, can they not alarm the entire village?" ”
"Presumptuous." Yuan Meida's face was pale, and he stood up angrily and said: "Just 200 stupid pigs broke into 350,000 soldiers and horses, why do you need to make a big move, send a small group of soldiers, and chop them into meat paste in the blink of an eye, what do you need to be restless." The words fell, pointing below and scolding: "I don't understand such a little truth, how did you get mixed up with the protector of the western capital?" ”
"Alright, alright." Seeing that most of the capital's faces faded, He Shidao comforted the two and said: "The two of them don't have to fight, if these more than 200 people have something, then something will happen, if nothing happens, there will be movement after some time, don't speculate here." ”
"Yes." Zhengxi Dadu suppressed his anger in his belly, and said to the marshal with his fists: "The last general will retire." ”
"Hmm." He Shidao nodded.
"Hmph......" Seeing the stupid pig turn around, Yuan Meida snorted heavily before sitting back on the chair.
He Shidao's head hurt a little, and he didn't want to pay attention to these trivial matters, so he called to the tent soldiers: "Butu, set up a plate." ”
"Yes."
As the tent soldiers came in carrying the realm map and the sand table, the generals with contempt in their eyes withdrew their eyes that were resting on Yuan Meida's body, and gathered quietly to look at the sand table in the middle.
Ten miles away from Texas, mound slope.
The chirping of the cicadas stopped chirping as the setting sun turned red, and the sleeping crowd woke up at noon, dressed in dry coarse clothes full of energy, and gathered around Ah Zhen.
Ah Zhen, who was sleeping like something, also woke up at noon, drank some water, and put on the dry slave clothes, the whole person was always refreshed, and Hu Che'er asked: "What time is it?" ”
"In half an hour, it will be dark." Hu Che'er bit the hard steamed bun, slurred and worried: "Brother Zhen, our dry food is only enough for one day." ”
"Don't worry." Patting him on the shoulder, Ah Zhen said angrily: "As long as you cross the Great Wall, it will not be a problem to eat and drink spicy food." ”
"Really?" Hearing the fragrant and spicy food, Hu Che'er suddenly felt that the steamed bread and white wax in his mouth were tasteless.
"Trust me." Ah Zhen smiled dumbly, stood up and twisted his waist and arms, and the soreness suddenly hit violently, but he shook a few times, and a smooth momentum suddenly spread to his bones. Life lies in movement is indeed the truth, although I almost foamed at the mouth last night, but after waking up, the whole person was much lighter.
The sun is setting, and the dark curtain is coming.
After filling all the water bags with water and tidying up their dry clothes, more than 200 people who had not stolen chickens or touched dogs continued to take advantage of the dark curtain to run towards the quiet mountain road.
The green insects chirped at both ends of the mountain road, and the slight summer evening breeze was stuffy, and he rushed for nearly an hour, Ah Zhen gradually began to lack oxygen, Su Da saw that the uncle couldn't catch his breath again, and hurriedly supported him.
Hu Che'er in front of the collar also had eyes like a scanner, listening and watching around. Running forward without saying a word, still blushing and panting, refreshed, the first place in the marathon.
Compared to last night's stretch of the road, tonight's run is a bit more geared.
The "lying grass ......" still trembled with his feet and hands, and collapsed weakly on the north side of the Yellow River.
"Brother Zhen, are you okay?" Seeing that the young man collapsed again, Hu Che'er hurriedly handed over a bag of water.
Gollum poured a few gulps, shook his sleeves to wipe off the water stains, turned around and glanced at the huge turbulent river for a few times before asking, "This is the North Valley, right?" ”
"That's right." Hu Che'er looked at the dark river, and asked with a sad face: "Brother Zhen, how do we cross the river?" "With such a turbulent river, let alone swimming, people who jump down will be swept away by the waves.
"Logging." Without scrutiny, he pointed to the giant trees on both sides and gave an order: "Build a boat with two hundred people to ride together, and cross the river together." ”
"Two hundred people can ride together?" Hu Che'er was stunned.
"That's right." Ah Zhen nodded. "Tie the roots to death, as thick as you can, and give you an hour to make it."
"This ......" Hu Che'er's old face collapsed, and he asked weakly: "Brother Zhen, can this be done?" ”
"If you don't try, you know you can't do it." Let Su Da help him stand up, and said with an old face: "The action is light, time is running out, hurry up." ”
"Okay." Gritting his teeth to take the heavy responsibility, Hu Che'er immediately lowered his voice and ordered the two hundred people behind him: "All follow me to the forest to cut wood." ”
"Hey......" A handful of old bones were tossed and inhuman, Ah Zhen sighed and fell back to the ground, rubbing his stiff thigh muscles with both hands, and began to miss the days when he was full and waited for death.
Seventy or eighty miles ahead is the river and Zhending, and the central depth of the two cities is fifty miles, how can you touch it silently and unconsciously?
Sitting cross-legged on the shore, Ah Zhen's ears listened to the sound of trees falling to the ground in the distance; and the sound of the rushing river around you. His eyes narrowed on the ghostly talisman on the ground, thinking about a strategy.
"Fifty miles, fifty miles...... "stroked his chin, his mouth muttered, and his eyes kept staring at the small corner of the map.
After watching it for a while, he frowned and shouted into the forest next to him, "Hu Che'er, come here." ”
Hu Che'er was busy directing everyone, and when he heard this call, he hurried to Ah Zhen's side. "Brother Zhen, what's the matter?"
"Come, sit down." Ah Zhen patted the grass beside him, and pointed to the map with his finger urgently: "Is the fifty miles of land vacated between Zhending and the middle of the river a flat place?" ”
"Of course not." Hu Che'er pointed to the traditional wooden characters on the draft suspiciously and said, "Brother Zhen, didn't I write about Youlin here?" ”
"Hmm." Staring at the traditional wooden characters, he urgently asked again: "Is there a mountain?" ”
"Of course there is, where did the forest come from without mountains?"
"How's the mountain?" Ah Zhen asked urgently.
"Look, brother." Hu Che'er pointed to the map and said: "There is a mountain more than ten miles to the right, called Fengshan, and there is a forest on the right called Fenglin." This forest is not large, and it is full of maple trees. ”
"Rory is a lot of wordy, pick and choose." What Maple Mountain Maple Forest, chaos is all over the place, and none of them want.
"Huh?" Seeing him scolding, Hu Che'er was stunned for a moment, and asked weakly: "Didn't Brother Zhen ask about the mountains and forests?" ”
Seeing that this fool looked like this, Ah Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Tell me about the road to Sanggan, what mountains and forests are on the left and right of the road, don't run too far." ”
"Oh." Hu Che'er understood, looked at the map and thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "Brother Zhen, there is definitely a garrison in the center of the two cities, but I don't know where it is stationed. ”
"Cao ......" cursed in a low voice, frowned and glared at the old face in front of him, and then said, "Where is the original military road?" ”
"Here." After a hammer, Hu Che'er immediately made up for it, and his fingers were biased towards Zhending: "Zhending is fifteen or six miles to the right." ”
Ah Zhen looked at the place he had ordered and asked anxiously, "Is there any other path?" ”
"In addition to the avenue, there are three other mountain roads that can lead to Sanggan, but these three mountain roads must have plank roads." Hu Che'er said honestly.
"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Ah Zhen bit his mouth and scolded, if the Liao army did not set up a plank road on the mountain road, but also stationed in a fart village, it looks good.
was scolded again, Hu Che'er was extremely aggrieved, and looked at Ah Zhen weakly and asked: "Didn't Brother Zhen ask Xiaodao?" "He heard him right, he asked him if he had a trail, right?
couldn't compare the stupid guy in front of him who was even more stupid than he thought, Ah Zhen glared at him fiercely and said: "The unknown path, the path that can't set up a plank road." ”
"I see." Hu Che'er was enlightened.
Seeing that he understood, Ah Zhen asked urgently, "How is it?" ”
"Nope." If you don't want to think about it, you can immediately say no.
"Rely on ......" another curse poured out of his big mouth, waving his hand to shake off the guy who was no longer useful, and continued to fight the ghost talisman.
