Chapter 31: The Kouzi River
Seeing that Liu Tong went out of the north gate without taking the army, the red carp asked again: "Childe, I always feel that someone is following us along the way, don't we bring the army?" ”
"Red carp, this is our own territory, there are two hundred guards, a few little thieves, why be afraid? Zhang Liao's cavalry was insufficient, so I let them go back. ”
Liu informed that according to his orders, the three thousand cavalry should be drawn early in the morning. The red carp also felt reasonable, and he and Liu Tong's martial arts did not have to worry about anything.
For two consecutive days, everyone came to the Funiu Mountain Range, the southeast Jiuli Mountain, this Shanxi and Taizi Mountain confront, constituting a dangerous pass - Kouzi River. Taizi Mountain, west and north are steep on three sides, the mountain is dangerous, and the Jiuli Mountain that is also in danger stands side by side, "climb this mountain to look at Nanyang", constitute a natural barrier to Nanyang. ”
After Wu Ji carefully looked at the environment, he said, "Childe, you see, this pass is really a good place to set up an ambush!" ”
"Well, it looks like you've made a lot of progress over the years." Liu Tong said with a smile.
"Shall we send out scouts to investigate, but don't fall into an ambush!" Wu Ji said quite seriously.
"You idiot, this place is far away from Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and it has long become our rear, where did the enemy come from, besides, we haven't heard of bandits here before, and even if there were, it would have been wiped out long ago. Have you ever heard of a large group of bandits in our jurisdiction? ”
Liu Tong had a good understanding of the military situation in various places, especially in the Central Plains, and Liu Kuan's troops were very thorough in their conquest and suppression of bandits and bandits in their jurisdiction.
"Idiot, in the war zone, this is an important pass, in the peace zone, this is just a scenic spot, don't you see such a good pass, and we didn't send troops to garrison it? How can anyone guard the pass in his own hinterland? ”
Wu Ji retreated abruptly, pretending to start enjoying the view. The mountains on both sides gradually tightened, and a road ran through it like a white exercise. Liu Tong thought to himself that this might be the reason for the name of the Kouzi River.
As the mountain turned, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with thirty or forty war horses standing in front, followed by more than three hundred soldiers dressed up and holding various weapons.
Liu Tong naturally looked at Wu Ji, this crow's mouth, he really said it, but seeing Wu Ji looking nervously at the back, Liu Tong moved his gaze, and secretly screamed in his heart, only to see that the road had been blocked by four or five hundred people, and he was surrounded, like a mouse in a bellows, and he had to be angry at both ends.
Liu Tong was glad that the other party did not sneak attack him from the mountain, otherwise it would be unimaginable.
In this way, it seems that the other party either does not know how to march and fight, or wants to leave room for it, and does not want to kill himself, or he has some fear.
Liu Tong didn't believe that the other party was just stupid and didn't sneak attack from the mountain, it seems that there is still room for maneuver! Liu Tong saw that his guards had become a battle formation, but the road was narrow, and it was not suitable for cavalry to rush and kill!
Under the sharp turn of his mind, Liu Tong seemed to understand the other party's intentions, and the four people before followed them all the way, obviously for Cao Xian, Pang Tong and others. Although I don't understand how they can suddenly gather so many people in their own territory, it is obviously not for extermination, but only for rescue.
So it seems that they have some scruples! I'm afraid that the sneak attack will hurt Cao Xian and Pang Tong, so there is something to talk about, and there is also a chance to fight out of the encirclement, at least three good hostages in hand.
Wu Ji had already taken the lead, and the horizontal knife walked to the front of the team, and Liu Tong signaled to the red carp and stepped forward.
"Wu Ji, you take the guards and guard the carriage!"
Liu Tong said to hurry up and move forward, and the red carp protected Liu Tong's right hand. As soon as the other party saw Liu Tong and the two coming, three riders also came out of the team.
A few people stopped in the middle of the two teams.
"Senior Brother Xuancheng! Senior Brother Xuansong! ”
The red carp greeted the visitor in surprise, Liu Tong looked at the visitor carefully, and saw that the two of them were dressed in green clothes, one of them was in his forties, tall and burly, it was Xuan Cheng who Kuang Lu had seen, and the other person was a head shorter than him, but he seemed to be stronger than him, slightly younger than Xuan Cheng, and like Xuan Cheng, he was also carrying a three-pointed knife, which should be Xuan Song.
There was also a brocade dress next to him, twenty-six or seventeen years old, but he was holding a long lance.
"Luo Hongli, you deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor! I'm not your brother! Xuan Song saw the red carp salute, and said angrily, his voice hoarse and low.
"Senior brother, I didn't betray my master, I followed my son-in-law before I entered Yuelu Palace, and I never did anything to be sorry for my master!" The red carp was so aggrieved that his eyes were red, and he also defended.
Xuan Cheng didn't look at the red carp, and hugged his fist at Liu Tong, "Champion Hou, Miss Cao is the wife of my junior brother Wu Hou, please let me bring it back!" ”
Xuan Cheng's tone was firm and non-negotiable. Liu Tong listened to Xuan Cheng's voice, low and majestic, knowing that he and Xuan Song had strong internal strength, obviously not ordinary people, and also understood why they didn't sneak attack! People may not even bother to sneak attack! A true master is proud.
Liu Tong knew that something was wrong, and there was another one next to him, with a cold face, although he was wearing a Jinxiu coat, he also had an aggressive momentum.
"I don't know what this brother is called?" After Liu Tong hugged his fists at Xuan Cheng and Xuan Song, he asked with his fists at the man in brocade.
"Below, Sword Saint Shi A's great disciple, Thirteen Bao Yilang Dalang Chuyang!"
When Liu Tong heard this, how did Cao Cao's subordinates and Sun Quan's subordinates connect and come together? Looking fifty meters behind them, there were six people in front of the crowd who were similar to Chu Yang's clothes, and the four people who had seen them on the battlefield before were also among them, and it seemed that seven people from the thirteenth Bao Yilang came.
But what Liu Tong didn't know was that since Shi A was seriously injured by Long Duan'er, he felt that there was a sky outside the sky, and in addition to constantly studying martial arts, he also selected young talents with good qualifications to teach martial arts, many of whom were still with art investors, and this Chu Yang was one of them.
Because he boasted that Cao Cao was a righteous soldier and conquered the world, he named his thirteen disciples "Thirteen Bao Yilang", and he also gained a great reputation in Yizhou.
Sun Cao's marriage is a matter related to the overall strategic situation, and it is reasonable for the two sides to dispatch capable forces to rob Cao Xian and others. Liu Tong knew that today's matter was only a breakthrough, and if Cao Xian and the others were handed over, maybe they would have to look at Shu and take themselves away. What's more, this Cao Xian can't let her marry Sun Quan no matter what, and Pang Tong is also the master of thousands of armies.
"Three, Miss Cao, I invited you to Luoyang as a guest, and after staying for a few days, you will definitely be sent back to Chengdu safely!" Liu Tong looks like a scoundrel who I won't give, and you can't help me.
"Kid looking for death!"
Xuan Song said that, he stabbed Liu Tong with a three-pointed knife, and when the red carp saw this, he whipped it on the handle of the knife, and Xuan Song's true qi was suppressed, and he almost let go. Although Xuan Song had seen the red carp, he never thought that her martial arts were so strong, and he was shocked. Chu Yang saw that Xuansong was at a loss, so he also came to attack the red carp.
"Senior brother, don't use internal force!"
Xuan Cheng didn't know why, but he believed in Xuan Cheng, so he no longer used internal force. Xuan Song was born with divine power, coupled with the perfection of martial arts, and at this time, he found that when he fought against the red carp, there was no longer a sense of stagnation. I've heard of the magic of the Nine Dragons Whip before, and it turns out that the magic of the Red Carp girl Nine Dragons Whip is that it can suppress internal force!
Chu Yang also discovered the mystery, and he didn't use internal force, and the two found that the red carp was fast, but the internal force was very average, and even if he didn't use internal force, he wouldn't suffer.
Liu Tong didn't know why, he always thought that the red carp's martial arts were unfathomable, even above Long Duan'er, but he didn't know that the red carp was crying bitterly at this time.
Originally, he had a very short time to learn art and limited internal strength, but although Xuan Cheng was a senior brother, he had taught himself martial arts and knew his life well. After the other party did not use internal force, the Nine Dragons Whip could not play an advantage, so he had to fight with the two masters, which was only a parry.
Liu Tong saw that he had already started fighting, so without saying a word, he ran towards Xuan Cheng, went down with all his strength, and hit the handle of the knife that Xuan Cheng was blocking horizontally, thinking that even if he didn't beat him to the point of spitting blood, he could shock Xuan Cheng's hands numb.
But when he heard the sound of "poof", his hands were slightly numb, but Xuan Cheng's face did not change, his heart did not beat, and he was nodding at himself.
Xuan Cheng has also heard of Liu Tong's name, and he never thought about his young age, at most ten years of cultivation, and his internal strength is compared with his cultivation of more than 30 years, and he doesn't let it go! Unconsciously praised him.
After Liu Tong's move, he knew the strength of the other party, and saw that the red carp only had the ability to parry, and his heart suddenly cooled half.
