Chapter 163: The Sheepskin Raft
"Exterminate the Yellow Turban--Capture Xiao Lang alive!"
"Exterminate the Yellow Turban--Capture Xiao Lang alive!"
…………………………
Relying on the method of 'step by step', it took three days and three nights for the Yuan army to finally break through the barrier of the mountain pass.
The soldiers rushed to the barrier, the first thing was to save Yuan Xi, the second son was tormented, frozen, and roasted, and his whole body was almost half-cooked, especially when he was hit by an arrow in the lower body, it was really a 'chicken and egg beating'!
Lang Zhong, who was accompanying him in the army, immediately ran over for treatment, fed medicine, and stopped bleeding, and worked hard for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: "The life of the second son is saved, but the matter of inheriting the Yuan family has nothing to do with him from now on!" ”
The dignified second son of the Yuan family, after the fourth and third dukes, turned into a eunuch, neither male nor female, physically and mentally disabled, this matter is said, I don't know how many people's big teeth will be laughed off, and the Lang Zhong have no countermeasures, so they have to carry Yuan Xi and go to meet the general and report the situation truthfully!
"Xiao Lang Xiao'er, the old man and you are incompatible...... Carry him down so that he can be healed, and there will be anyone in the army who dares to talk about this matter - beheaded! ”
Looking at his crippled son, Yuan Shao's anger was like thunder, he couldn't wait to catch Xiao Yi, and devoured him alive to vent his hatred, as soon as this incident came out, the face of the Yuan family was completely swept away!
As for Yuan Xi, he originally thought that after snatching it back, he would be punished severely, but now that he is injured like this, Yuan Shao also has compassion and does not want to be held accountable anymore, besides, this son has become a eunuch, and it is difficult to participate in the battle for the storage position, which is a good thing for the Yuan family!
"Ghost-faced Xiao Lang...... Yuan Family - Fourth and Third Princes...... I hate it! ”
Yuan Xi had already woken up, and when he learned that he had become a waste, his face was as if he was dead, and in addition to pain, there was deep resentment in his eyes......
The first person to resent, of course, is Xiao Yi, the battle of the giant deer - destroyed his hard work and became a prisoner - and was ravaged by the rebels, and the last arrow was shot, - he became a useless eunuch, this hatred and hatred, and he will not forget it until death!
The second resentment is his father Yuan Shao, to be precise, the Yuan family, before the two armies, Xiao Yi once proposed to exchange money and food for hostages, but Yuan Shao was afraid of face, refused to agree, and finally harmed himself and became a waste!
Thinking of his life's 'happiness', it was ruined in the hands of his father, how could Yuan Xi have no resentment, resentment is hate, hatred is madness, a person who has no hope, in order to avenge revenge, he can do whatever it takes, even if it is jade!
At this point, the second son of the Yuan family has changed his temperament greatly, and has completely become a colorful poisonous snake, lurking in the dark corners, waiting for the opportunity, Wen Taowu in the past has become his two 'poisonous fangs', and the resentment in his stomach is the most powerful venom in the world!
…………………………………………………………………………………………………
After the Yuan army broke through the barrier, the next step was to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army, which knew how far it had not advanced, several walls of fire blocked the road, the flames soared into the sky, the smoke was billowing out, and the men and horses could not pass at all!
It turned out that Xiao Yi had a large amount of wood cut down and piled it up in the valley, and when he retreated, he set it all on fire to block the pursuers behind.
"What a cunning Xiao Lang, he actually used flames to cut off the road...... However, the sky-high fire will eventually be extinguished, see how the old man cleans you up! ”
200,000 horses and horses are blocked in the mountain pass, it is difficult to advance half a step, Yuan Shao's seven tricks are smoking, and his resentment towards Xiao Yi is beyond measure, although 'the two armies are fighting, everything is used', but these tactics are too lacking in morality, I really don't know what kind of master can teach such a shady apprentice!
The fire was too big to be extinguished by manpower, and in the end, Tian Feng offered a plan, transported more than a dozen small stone throwers, and then froze the clear water into large ice cubes, and threw them into the wall of fire, and it took more than two hours to extinguish the flames and open up the road to the army!
"The wall of fire has been extinguished, the road is smooth, and all the troops are moving forward bravely to capture Xiao Lang alive, and they are here in one fell swoop!"
The barrier was broken, the flames were extinguished, and nothing could stop Yuan Jun's footsteps, Yuan Shao drew his sword in his hand, and personally commanded 200,000 horses to search, leaving no gap!
There was no trace of the enemy in the mountain pass, and the search continued......
There was no trace of the enemy on the mountainside, and the search continued......
There was no trace of the enemy in the col, and the search continued......
…………………………………………
From front to back, from the inside to the outside, Yuan Jun searched the White Tiger Stream six times, caves, woods, grass depressions...... There was no omission, but the mouse holes were almost dug up, but there was still no trace of the Yellow Turban Army, and not a single soldier was found!
Seeing this scene, Yuan Jun was shocked, even Tian Feng, Xu You, and Guo Tu were all looking at each other, the huge valley, it is possible to hide one or two people, and hundreds of thousands of horses are all missing, which is also incredible!
Everyone knows that the White Tiger Stream is a Jedi, the cliffs on both sides, the apes can't climb up, let alone hundreds of thousands of troops, the north side has been blocked by the Yuan army, and a soldier and a pawn don't want to go out, as for the 'Tiger Roaring Gorge' in the south, from ancient times to the present, there is no record of the success of the army crossing the river!
Unwillingly, Yuan Jun continued to search forward, until he advanced to the bank of the Yellow River, and saw the turbulent river, but still did not find any trace of the enemy, although he couldn't believe it, the fact was right in front of him, and hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops really disappeared!
"No matter how capable Xiao Lang is, he is also a flesh and blood body, can he really go to heaven and earth?"
In order to find out the situation, Yuan Shao took a group of generals to check along the river bank in person, and finally showed some clues, only to see the flag fluttering on the south bank of the Yellow River, the military tent like a forest, and the faint sound of horses neighing, that is to say, the Yellow Turban Army did not disappear, they all crossed the river and went south!
The problem is again, the Tiger Roaring Gorge is turbulent, the reefs are dense, even if the strong big ship comes here, six or seven out of ten will be smashed to pieces, the Yellow Turban Army entered the valley for only a few days, and it is impossible to build a big boat at all, at most a few rafts can be built, and it is okay to row across the creek, isn't it a fool's dream to cross the Yellow River?
"It is said that Xiao Lang is the greedy wolf star monarch who descended to earth and is in charge of killing in the world, so he must have a spell, conjure up a divine bridge, and cross the Yellow River!"
"It's not just a spell, Da Sima is still a disciple of the Immortals, with three volumes of heavenly books, he can scatter beans into soldiers and drive the clouds and fog!"
"I'm waiting for ordinary people to fight with the gods, isn't that for nothing, and if you die, you have to go to the underworld......"
………………………………………………
For unknown things, people are always afraid, hundreds of thousands of horses are missing, Yuan Jun soldiers can't help but whisper, for Xiao Yi's fear, it is also infinitely improved, they are just ordinary people, how to fight the stars in the sky!
"Don't be suspicious, Xiao Yi led the army across the river, all relying on this thing, it is really an unpredictable talent, far less than below!"
It was Tian Feng who uncovered the mystery, and after checking it repeatedly on the shore, he brought something back...... A half-made raft!
The raft is very ordinary, that is, the trees cut in the mountains, and there are some sub-branches on it, which are tied together with a few hemp ropes, that is, they are uneven and not beautiful, and they are shoddy at first glance, and they are thrown into the water of the Yellow River, and they will sink in a few strokes!
If there is anything peculiar, it is under the raft, there are more than a dozen white, bulging things, and if you look closely, it turns out to be a sheepskin cover, after turning it over, blowing in the air, tying the two ends tightly, and then fixing it on the raft!
Don't look at it just some sheepskin covers, but it has played a big role, first the buoyancy has increased, and the small raft that originally sat ten people is now no problem for fifteen people!
On top of that, these sheepskin covers are soft, lightweight, and very elastic, so they can be tied around to resist the current, even if they hit the reef, there will be no danger, and it is perfect for crossing the Yellow River!
That's right, the sheepskin raft - a means of transportation that often appeared on the Yellow River in later generations, is simple to make, low cost, and does not seem to have anything, but it is the great wisdom of the working people, and it is the experience of countless lives in exchange!
Xiao Yi is very lucky, as a crossing clan, he has no cheats, but he has two thousand years of wisdom, it is by relying on the sheepskin raft that he led hundreds of thousands of horses to cross the Yellow River safely!
"Xiao Lang crossed the Yellow River in the south, just like letting the tiger return to the mountain, and there will never be a day of peace in the four states of Hebei!"
Looking at the turbulent river, Yuan Shao couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was extremely damaging to Hebei, losing 120,000 soldiers and horses, destroying more than 100 cities, and most importantly, the population that was taken away was also more than 500,000 or 600,000, which was simply a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle!
"The matter has come to this point, it is useless to regret it, no matter what, the Yellow Turban Rebellion has subsided, and the general should return to Yecheng and clean up the situation!"
Tian Feng is also defeated, he has competed several times, he is not Xiao Yi's opponent, as a top strategist, how can he be willing!
"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, Xiao Yi just won by luck, the four states of Hebei are still in the hands of the general, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses still exist, as long as they regroup, come to revenge, they will win!"
Guo Tu also stood up to persuade him, for fear that his father-in-law would collapse and lose his desire to dominate, which would be the disaster of the Hebei Group!
"Gentlemen, rest assured, under a setback, the old man has also benefited a lot, and he will definitely work hard in the future, and then compete with Cao Agui, look at this picturesque country, who is the king!"
In the end, Yuan Shao was not discouraged at all, but his spirit was refreshed, and there was a faint breath of a king on his body.
