Chapter 133: All the Way West (Embarking on a Journey, Sticking to Two Watches)
Cao Pi wanted to keep He Yan in Xudu, and Hua Wenxuan couldn't stop it.
He Yan also understood Cao Pi's meaning, so he could only reluctantly entrust Hua Wenxuan to Huang Yueying.
Hua Wenxuan deliberately looked for an early morning to go out of the city, the fog in the city of Xudu in early spring was full of fog, as if she had entered a fairyland, but unfortunately He Yan at this time did not have the pleasure of becoming an immortal at all, she reluctantly took Hua Wenxuan and Huang Yueying's hands, and her eyes were red.
Gan Ning and Jian Yong had already gone out of the city to gather people first, and Hua Wenxuan, Shi Tao, Li Fu, and Xiao Qiao said goodbye at the gate of He Mansion.
Hua Wenxuan didn't worry about He Yan being in Xudu by himself, Shi Tao was in the Prime Minister's Mansion and had an official position, so it was inconvenient to go with him without an order, so he left Li Fu and Xiao Qiao to take care of him in He Mansion.
Hua Wenxuan coaxed He Yan for a long time before wiping away her tears and leading everyone out of the city to the west.
Not far to the west, on a hill, Gan Ning and Jian Yong were waiting here early, and 5,000 men and horses were ready to go. Hua Wenxuan looked at the team with bright flags, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and secretly said: In the end, it belongs to his own people, this is the capital!
Hua Wenxuan gestured to open and asked, "How are these thousands of people controlled by Brother Ma Xingba?" Is there anyone who doesn't want to go west with me? ”
Gan Ning rode on the horse and grinned, "Wen Xuan doesn't have to worry too much, these people and horses are all selected by Xingba one by one, most of them are fellow villagers, I take the township as a farewell, divided into eight teams, each team is about five hundred people, the public elects a leader as the captain, and the remaining more than a thousand people elect two people as the captain, a total of ten captains, the line is the same road, the division is concentric, Uncle He Ping almost scattered all the family wealth for me to defend them, but not stingy, my heart must be safe!" These 5,000 people are your Hua Wenxuan's private soldiers, except for you and me, no one can move them! ”
Hua Wenxuan looked at the neatly marching group of men and horses in front of him, and couldn't help but nodded, "How is the equipment?" Are the repeaters in place? ”
"Miss Huang's design is too cumbersome, I have made three groups of craftsmen rush to work day and night, and I am only worthy of two thousand hand crossbows and five hundred big crossbows," Gan Ning looked at Huang Yueying, "Even the arrows are specially made, and now everyone is equipped with two boxes of twenty boxes, and there are five hundred boxes in the baggage!" ”
Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, "It's good to be able to produce two thousand, and it will take nearly three days for me to design one by myself!" ”
Hua Wenxuan coughed lightly twice, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Xingba doesn't have to be like that, you can call your brother and sister in the future!" ”
Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, and looked at Huang Yueying, who was blushing, "That Uncle Ping?" Oh! I get it! I understand it under it! ”
Everyone laughed and walked all the way west.
Relying on rations and hunting all the way, plus the surplus money saved by Jian Yong to sell materials, he barely maintained the vitality of 5,000 people, and he hurried all the way non-stop, and when he arrived in Luoyang, it was already the fifth day.
Gan Ning led the former army to find a boat at the ferry to arrange to cross the river to the north, Hua Wenxuan, Jian Yong, and Huang Yueying found a wood, spread out the topographic map to discuss the matter of going north to Shouyang Mountain.
"After crossing the Yellow River here, and after traveling for dozens of miles, you will enter the boundary of Bingzhou, that is, the area where the Southern Xiongnu committed crimes!" Jian Yong pointed to the direction of Shouyang Mountain and said slowly: "In the past, the Xiongnu infighting was divided into two branches, the north and the south, the northern Xiongnu lived outside the pass for a long time, and the southern Xiongnu was the wave in the pass, which was invaded in the Central Plains with the late Shan Yu Fuluo decades ago, and now Shan Yu is his brother Hu Chuquan!" ”
Hua Wenxuan nodded lightly, this name is still a bit impressive for people who often play the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"This Xiongnu relies on the grassland, although it is a repeated offense, it is also a light horse into the Kou, if you want to rob him of a lot of grain and grass, is it difficult to go all the way north?" Hua Wenxuan looked at Jian Yong, "The grain and grass of five thousand people, I'm afraid you have to keep smashing Huanglong, right?" ”
Jian Yong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's okay, Xianhe has already arranged it for Gongzi Wenxuan!" The Shi Tao family makes a living by selling horses, and it is common for the side to exchange tea and salt for military horses in the north, and now the situation is chaotic, and the side plug is negligent in taking precautions and turning a blind eye, and the east of the river is a trading market where the two sides tacitly agree to custom. Before I opened the capital of Xu, I had asked Shi Tao to repair a book, and sent it to the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King, who had many contacts with the Shi family, and made an appointment with each other to order 3,000 horses in the north! With such a big deal, King Zuo Xian will definitely come in person, so we will buy a horse and tie it up! Horses were added to make armaments, and King Zuo Xian was taken as a hostage, so that these barbarians could supply the army with food and grass! ”
Hua Wenxuan was stunned, isn't this just a kidnapping? This Jian Yong looks like a gentleman, how can he set up such a bad plan?
But after thinking about it, this Huns repeatedly violated the border, and ran away by robbing the horse quickly, which is also a headache for the border troubles. Thinking of this, Hua Wenxuan couldn't help but smile, "Xianhe's plan is very good!" However, if we wait for these 5,000 people to kill them in a mighty way, I am afraid that the Huns will be suspicious! ”
Jian Yong nodded, "We will lead five hundred strong men to pretend to be a horse-buying caravan, and the rest of the men and horses will be divided into half of the makeup and infiltrate the Hedong Mutual Market to wait for the opportunity, and after we capture King Zuoxian, we will converge on our own and force the Southern Xiongnu to negotiate with us!" ”
Hua Wenxuan understood, and looked at Gan Ning at the ferry in the distance with a smile, "Good guy, it's another vicious battle, and I don't know if Brother Xingba's old injuries are completely healed?" ”
Huang Yueying looked at Hua Wenxuan, and said distressedly: "This time to capture the king, Wen Xuan must be in danger again, be careful, Yueying has been with the team since the palace, do not teach Wen Xuan to be distracted!" ”
Hua Wenxuan smiled and nodded, pinched Huang Yueying's little hand, and rubbed it affectionately, "Forgive that Hun Zuoxian King, how much ability can I have, I have divine power, it's not easy to take him?" ”
Huang Yueying was silent, gently holding Hua Wenxuan's hand and nodded.
After crossing the Yellow River and traveling northwest for another two days, Gan Ning ordered the team to be divided into pieces, leaving 2,000 people to slowly march with Huang Yueying, Hua Wenxuan and Jian Yong led 500 people to pretend to be horse merchants who bought them, and the rest of the troops with Gan Ning made up all kinds of people and horses to sneak into the Hedong Mutual Market in batches.
Hua Wenxuan put on the merchant costume that Jian Yong had prepared earlier, got into a broken carriage that Gan Ning found at the ferry, and dragged it all the way to Wanghu Market with two thin horses.
Hua Wenxuan sat in the carriage, looking around from time to time from the window, the warm spring breeze blew a pleasant face, if it was not born in troubled times, it was really a good place to play, Hua Wenxuan thought of the pollution and barrenness here today after thousands of years, and couldn't help but worry for a while, and deeply breathed the pure air mixed with the fragrance of grass and the fragrance of the earth.
After about half a day, Hua Wenxuan was drowsy in the car, and suddenly he only heard a noise outside, Hua Wenxuan hurriedly looked over, only to see a cold light approaching his eyes, Hua Wenxuan was suddenly shocked!
Why is that?!
