Chapter 118: On the eve of the camp
At this time, Guan Xing, Ju Fu, and Wang Ping came together to restore their lives. Jiang Wei was about to step forward to converge, but was pulled by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu leaned sideways and ordered: "Lead a certain horse." ”
Zhou Cang bowed away, and after a while, he came back with a group of tall red horses.
I saw that the horse was covered in red coals, and there was not half a stray hair; From head to tail, one zhang long; From the hoof to the neck, it is eight feet high, the shape is very majestic, and the spirit is extraordinary. It is Guan Yu's usual mount - the divine horse Chitu.
Guan Yu handed the reins of the horse to Jiang Wei's hand, and said in a deep voice: "Bo Yue will go to the Longtan Tiger's Den, and he will borrow this horse." This horse can travel a thousand times a day and eight hundred nights, so it should be able to help you. ”
Jiang Wei knew that although Xiaobai was a divine horse, he was still weaker than a horse emperor like Chitu. This trip is nine deaths, and it is precisely such a divine horse that needs help. Therefore, he was not polite, and after a little thanks, he took the reins.
However, when Chitu saw the traction of the living, he couldn't help but retreat and scream - just like Xiaobai was to Ma Jun that day.
Seeing this, Zhou Cang leaned close to Guan Yu's ear and hesitated: "The red rabbit is a divine horse, and it cannot be controlled by a person who is not extraordinary, and the villain is only afraid that General Jiang will not be able to control it." ”
Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "There will be five virtues, saying: wisdom, faith, benevolence, bravery, and strictness." A certain view of this son has a furrow in his chest, which can be said to be wise; Thousands of miles to help, can be said to be faithful; Sacrificing oneself for others can be said to be benevolent; Single**, can be said to be brave; Take the lead, but you can be strict. Such a character can't control Chitu, who else can? ”
While the master and servant were talking, Jiang Weizheng was pressing his head against the neck of the red rabbit horse, caressing its stiff fluff, and said in a voice like a mosquito:
"Brother Chitu, the younger brother's trip is to protect the monarch and thousands of loyal soldiers to return west. If you can understand the words of the younger brother, please help. ”
After saying this three times, Chitu actually calmed down and stopped being anxious.
Jiang Wei didn't expect the red rabbit to be psychic so far, and he was overjoyed and was about to turn over and get on the horse.
A flash of white light flashed on the ground, and she ran to him. It turned out that Xiaobai was attached to his old master and couldn't bear to be separated.
But the red rabbit horse was so imposing that it forced Xiaobai not to cry, and only dared to gently rub Jiang Wei's neck with the horse's head, which provoked Jiang Wei for a while.
Seeing this, Guan Yinping had a surge of courage out of nowhere, walked quickly to Jiang Wei, led Xiaobai over, and said in a low voice: "General Jiang can rest assured, I should take good care of Xiaobai." ”
Jiang Wei remembered the scene of Guan Yinping and Xiaobai frolicking in the forest that day, and knew that Xiaobai did not reject her, so he immediately said:
"So much for the best. Xiaobai is the most recognized, and he doesn't want to be close to people when he is idle, and I take care of it myself on weekdays. Since it is willing to be close to Miss Three, I will entrust it to Miss Three, and I hope you will bother more. ”
Guan Yinping had tears in his eyes and said solemnly: "Take care and wait for the general to return safely." ”
Jiang Wei watched Guan Yinping leave with Xiao Bai, who was holding his head and turning back in three steps. When I looked back, more than 270 Yulin cavalry and 20 Jingzhou soldiers who could ride good boats formed 300 cavalry, and they had already completed the formation.
Jiang Wei suddenly turned over and got on the horse, circled the queue, and returned to the head of the team. He pulled out the treasure knife in the box and asked in a loud voice:
"Where is Han!"?
The riders all brushed and drew their knives in response:
"The end will be here!"
Jiang Wei glanced left and right, and asked loudly again: "Can you still fight?" ”
The riders shouted hoarsely and loudly in unison:
"May I serve the dead!"
"May I serve the dead!"
"May I serve the dead!"
"That being the case, all the soldiers, follow me to attack!"
Jiang Wei pinched the horse's belly heavily and took the lead in galloping away. The riders followed.
A group of more than 300 horsemen suddenly turned into a long dragon, roaring away like a tide, and the sound of hooves shook the ground and trembled.
Jufu was the first of the three generals to rush back to restore his life, and he witnessed everything in Fang Cai, and his heart was surging. Looking at Jiang Wei's undulating back in front of him, he said darkly:
Jiang Zuocheng said that the order and prohibition are not considered to be the first-class army, and the army with the military soul can truly be fearless of death, and since then it has been invincible and invincible...... Could it be that what he sees today is the military soul he is talking about? ”
Ju Fu vaguely pondered something, but it was not very clear. Seeing that the red rabbit horse was galloping farther and farther away with Jiang Wei, he had to shake his head, put aside distracting thoughts, and concentrate on following the road.
******
Because Lin Hang had tortured and interrogated the Wu army prisoners before, Jiang Wei had already discovered the location of Jiang Qin's naval camp, which was located on the south side of the river more than 30 miles north of Maicheng. It was only more than 50 miles away from the temporary camp, and it could be reached in a few hours by horse.
On the way, Guan Xing was still a little worried, and asked for an opportunity: "Our army ambushed Zhuge Jin and Sun Huan this time, but failed to completely annihilate them, half of the Wu army has fled, and Jiang Qin's family must have gotten the news." If you have precautions, don't know how to deal with them? ”
Jiang Wei smiled: "An Guo is too worried. The retreat is in the south, and Jiang Qin is in the north. If you were Jiang Qin, what would you think the monarch would do? ”
Guan Xing thought for a while and suddenly said, "Not bad." The guy must have thought that we would take advantage of the victory and retreat. It was a great luck that he didn't come to pursue, so how could he have expected that our army would go north and do such a thing that is in the opposite direction? ”
Jiang Wei added: "Another point, according to the news from Lin Hang, Jiang Qinbu is a pair of tricks arranged by Eastern Wu on the water, and its main intention is to monitor the movements of Cao's army. As a result, most of its attention is on the surface of the river, rather than on the ground. In this raid, our army pretended to be the fleeing Wu army, and there are still some chances of winning, depending on whether the acting skills are passable. ”
Guan Xing patted his chest and sighed: "I don't know why, every time I listen to you analyze the enemy's situation, the tension in my heart can always be eliminated. ”
His words caused Jufu and Wang Ping to nod secretly, feeling concerned.
Jiang Wei said again: "But it's better to be careful, when it's approaching in a while, everyone will change their clothes!" ”
******
A group of riders dressed in stars and moons arrived ten miles away from Jiang Qin's camp.
Jiang Wei immediately ordered everyone to put on the robes of the Wu army on the outside of the battle armor, and wrap the cloth on the hooves of the war horses. Wang Ping was careful, and these materials were very well prepared, and they were dressed up in an instant.
The horsemen immediately marched in succession, and suddenly found a small forest outside Jiang Qin's camp, and Jiang Wei ordered the horsemen to hide here.
It stands to reason that the large army camped in a camp, which would inevitably obstruct the view, and the surrounding trees would usually be cleared.
However, the main direction of Jiang Qin's battalion was to the north of the water, and the south direction of the battalion was all friendly troops, so there was no need to be prepared.
Moreover, the camp is densely packed with warships, and there is little wear and tear in patrolling and cruising on weekdays, but the wood of this forest can come in handy in a moment. Therefore, this forest was left behind, but it became the hiding place of Jiang Wei and his party.
A mile and a half away, everyone could vaguely see two large braziers lit at the gate of the Wu military camp, the firelight swayed with the wind, and the sound of water flowing not far away came.
