Chapter 106: Pull on the thief ship

Duan Ke looked at the bill in his hand, although his face looked quite calm, his heart was already trembling, and he couldn't help but look ahead.

At this moment, Cao Xing, Chen Hu and Zhong Qi, a few of them were standing below, and they handed over this bill to Duan Ke, saying that they wanted to ask Duan Ke for instructions, but Duan Ke didn't know where they were forcing the palace.

Cao Xing's growth rate is very fast, more than half a year to clear the family, implement a new policy, win the hearts of the people, today's Bianyun County, can be described as Cao Xing's world, if Duan Ke does not agree with this bill, I believe that Duan Ke's future road will be very difficult, Duan Ke took a deep breath, simply put his heart horizontally, gritted his teeth, picked up the pen and signed his name on it, and stamped his own handprint.

In the past few days, it can be said that some people in Bianyun County are happy and some are worried, and countless officers and soldiers directly drove groups of people out of the city, trying to send them out of the city, and the group of people who were driven away by the officers and soldiers were scolding and scolding all the way. said that the official government of Bianyun County was simply chaotic, and heaven did not tolerate it, and sooner or later they would have to sue the Assassin Mansion about this matter.

These people who were driven away by the officers and soldiers were all people from the family, and these people from the family finally waited for an opportunity, since Zuo Feng lived in Bianyun County, then they spent a lot of money to buy Zuo Feng, and then logically entered Bianyun County, just ready to merge land and buy the population, but Zuo Feng left, what they didn't expect was that Cao Xing was so resolute and resolute, Duan Ke had already issued an approval and ordered these families to move out of Bianyun County immediately, so there was this scene in front of them.

Looking at these families, one by one the sergeants were thrown out of the city like wolves, Duan Ke, who was standing on the top of the city tower, couldn't help but sigh, and Cao Xing behind him laughed twice, and then stepped forward and said.

"Don't worry about the county order, blessings and misfortunes depend on it, disasters and blessings depend on it, who can expect what you are doing today is right or wrong!"

Duan Ke looked at Cao Xing, and a bitter smile appeared on his face, he also understood Cao Xing's purpose for doing this, now Cao Xing wants to lead the troops out to recover the holy decree, Cao Xing left Bubianyun County, he must not be at ease, after all, Duan Ke is the county commander of Bianyun County.

Although Cao Xing has always been very supportive of Duan Ke's work, but he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know what kind of actions Duan Ke will make when Cao Xing leaves, so if Cao Xing wants to leave with confidence, there is only one way, and that is to pull Duan Ke on his thief ship.

Duan Ke is different from Fengyun Chen Hu and others, as soon as Fengyun Chen Hu and others come out, they are Cao Xing's brothers, and the three of them have long been tied up under a thief ship, one is prosperous and the other is lost, but Duan Ke is different.

Cao Xing is now using such methods to make Duan Ke completely offend the family, so that Duan Ke has no way to turn back.

"Brother Cao, you can go with confidence, no matter what, before you come back, Bianyun County will definitely not have the slightest mistake!" Although he was bitter in his heart, Duan Ke had to accept this reality, and now it is Cao Xing's words here.

After arranging all this, Cao Xuan was ready to prepare 3,000 cavalry according to his previous plan to see if he could chase the holy decree back, but before that, Cao Xuan still repaired a book and handed it over to Liu Wan.

On this day, Cao Xing led 3,000 soldiers and horses out of the city quickly, accompanied by Chen Hu Zhongqi, as for Zhou Cang and Fengyun and others, they were all stationed in Bianyun County.

Zhong Qi led the leading troops to explore the road and find the footprints left by the Qiang people and horses, and came back after a while, pointing directly to the west, so Cao Xuan did not hesitate, and with a shout, three thousand soldiers and horses galloped out.

The Qiang soldiers and horses led by Hadoli didn't seem to expect Cao Xing to lead people to pursue, so they walked very slowly along the way, so five days later, they were really chased by Cao Xing and others.

The two armies are in close proximity, it is considered an encounter, in this case, neither side will say anything, Hadoli doesn't know what Cao Xuan wants to do, anyway, he only knows that it is definitely not a good thing for Cao Xuan to catch up, since this is the case, then let's face it.

The two troops collided together like a tide, although the Qiang troops led by Ha Duoli were about four or five thousand people, and the number was slightly better than Cao Xing's troops, but Cao Xing's soldiers practiced every day, and there were strong bows and crossbows in their hands, whether it was physical fitness or weapons and equipment, they were much higher than the Qiang people, so after half a day of fighting, Ha Duoli had to retreat with people embarrassed, while Cao Xing and others were chasing after him.

Seeing Cao Xing chasing after him, Ha Duoli's heart was also a little panicked, thinking that Cao Xing's pursuit this time was to repay his determination to kill, so Ha Duoli couldn't care so much at the moment, and let his soldiers run away frantically, no longer caring about Cao Xuan and the others in the back.

Although Cao Xing led people to chase desperately, he had to admit that the nomads had grown up on horseback since childhood, and the Han people were really inferior to them in terms of riding skills, so after chasing for two days, the teams on both sides began to get farther and farther away.

At this moment, Cao Xing was riding on horseback, his eyes were blood-red, and his skin was dry, but he couldn't care so much, he stared at the looming smoke and dust in front of him, and there seemed to be a fast horse running in the smoke, Cao Xing had to catch up with this group of people and snatch the holy decree back.

But even if Cao Xing thought so in his heart, he was also powerless, and finally the horse that Cao Xing sat down neighed, and fell to the ground like this, and Cao Xing's whole person also fell off the horse's back, and the sergeant in the rear saw Cao Xing fall off the horse, and they all tightened the reins of the horse, raised their front hooves and neighed, and stopped their pace, while Chen Hu and Zhong Qi quickly dismounted and helped Cao Xing up.

"Big brother, we've been chasing for seven days and seven nights, we can't go on like this, your body can't support it anymore!" Chen Hu looked at Cao Xuan and said.

And Zhong Qi next to him also nodded: "Lord, we can't go on like this, we have been chasing for many days, and many soldiers have run away with us, if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't catch Hadoli, and our own soldiers and horses will be scattered first!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Xingmu looked around, and really found that the cavalry around him was almost the same, only more than a thousand people, as for the remaining two thousand people, it was not that they were killed, but that most of them couldn't keep up with the speed, so they fell behind.

The thousand cavalry beside Cao Xing, everyone has a look of tiredness written on their faces at this moment, they have reached the point where they are sleepy and tired, their daily rest time may only be less than three hours, and the high-intensity pursuit has exhausted them, if this continues, I am afraid they will only have to bury their bones elsewhere.

Seeing this, Cao Xing was also quite helpless in his heart, waved his hand, signaled everyone to dismount and rest, took out the dry food and water they carried, and fed the horses and replenished their energy.

Cao Xing and the others set up camp in the same place, Chen Hu found a huge tree trunk, about eight or nine meters long, he and Zhong Qi and others worked together to plant it on the ground, hung up the flag of their team, and the other scattered cavalry, seeing the position of the flag, will also hear the news and rush to come.

Almost another three days passed, and the 3,000 cavalry under Cao Xing finally arrived one after another.

At this moment, Cao Xuan also asked Zhong Qi to take out the map, spread out the map and take a look, Zhong Qi and Cao Xuan groped for a long time, and finally determined the current location of the two of them.

"Lord, if I'm not mistaken, we should be in Northland County by now!" Zhong Qi said.

"Northlands!" Cao Xing muttered the name of this place in his heart, and he didn't have a clue, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, this place may not be very famous.

"Where is the Qiang people's dwelling now!" Cao Xing first put aside the question of Northland County and directly asked the most critical question.

Zhong Qi thought for a moment, moved his finger up a few inches and said: "If I am not mistaken, the tribe of the Qiang people should be dozens of miles away from here, because a few days ago I went to inquire with the local herdsmen, and learned that there seems to be a small city in that direction, if I am not mistaken, it is the city of the Qiang people!" ”

Although the Qiang people are nomadic people, but then again, they have dealt with the Han people for so many years, and they have also learned a lot from the Han people.

According to Zhong Qi, it is very likely that Hadoli was in that city, after all, it was a large tribe of the Qiang people, and the direction in which Hadoli fled was also in that direction.

Cao Xuan began to think constantly in his heart, since the location of Hadoori was basically determined, how to take back the holy decree from him.

However, before Cao Xuan could think clearly, suddenly in front of them, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves, and even the earth began to tremble constantly, Cao Xuan and the others couldn't help but stand up, only to see a fast flying horse coming in front of them, which was a sentry that Cao Xuan had arranged before.

"Report! Cao, Lord Cao's big thing is not good, the Qiang people, the Qiang people are coming! ”

"Don't panic, what's there to panic about, how many Qiang people are there? Report them one by one! Chen Hu looked at the sentry and said.

The sentry swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Cao Xuan and the others and said with difficulty: "Lord Hui, I don't know how many, I only know that there are Qiang troops all over the mountains, and I estimate that there are about twenty or thirty thousand!" ”

"What!" Hearing this number, the eyes of Cao Xingzhongqi and Chen Hu and others all widened, this sentry had only walked around the land of Bianyun County twice, of course he had no concept of the heads of people all over the mountains, and it was impossible to say an accurate number, but he had already made it very clear, the Qiang people's troops looked from afar, and they were black and oppressive.
