Chapter Eighty-Six: A Thief
Traveling far away was a big event in the Han Dynasty, and the journey was not something that could be walked casually whenever you wanted.
It is also said that the departure journey is to worship the god of travel, that is, the god who protects the traveler.
In the complex system of folk gods and goddesses in the Han Dynasty, Xingshen occupied a very important position. Probably in the flood era, there was a tribal leader who provided guidance and protection for travelers, and was later revered as a god of action, and now the name is no longer available, because of this, it shows that the god has been around for a long time.
The god of walking is also called the "ancestral god". The sacrifice to the gods is also known as the "ancestral way." ”
The ancestral ritual is very cumbersome, first select a few auspicious days, and then get auspicious signs, and once the recent travel day encounters bad weather, such as wind, rain, etc., it must be re-selected, which is why a few auspicious days are selected at the beginning. Before traveling, horses and carriages should be clean and dust-free, and clean water should be sprinkled to remove dirt. In this way, the journey can be auspicious.
On the first day of August, an auspicious day, there are no clouds and rare good weather. On the outskirts of Luoyang City, saying goodbye to friends, Fuquan took the official car to take office.
The decoration of official cars in the Han Dynasty has strict regulations, for example, Fuquan is only a border county order that is transferred to the rank of 600 stones, so the car is ridden, the car is a soap cover, the left car is vermilion, six feet long, nine kinds of ornamentation, twelve initial ends, the lower end is seven inches wide after shrinking, and the upper end is fixed on the board, one foot wide, such as a crescent moon, in order to show that you dare not be complacent.
Behind the official body, several carriages accompanied him, which carried female dependents and goods, and Huang Zhong and Shi A brought dozens of servants and entourage, all of whom rode horses to disperse the left and right guards, and a group of nearly 100 people embarked on the journey in a mighty way.
In the distance, Yuan Yu, the regular attendant, saw Fu Quan and his party leaving, his face was cold, and he immediately called his cronies to whisper a few words. And the man was commanded, and Pegasus departed, and his journey was the same as that of the Fuquan.
Looking at his subordinates leaving, Yuan Yu sneered in his heart, Fuliuchuan, this trip is the place where you are buried.
The chariots were shut, the horses were Xiaoxiao, and the convoy was in a cloud of smoke and dust.
Fu Quan looked at the guards around, all of them were horse masters, equipped with horses and good horses, it is said that many of them retired from the Yue cavalry camp over the years, and were later ambushed into the house.
The uncle and aunt of the dark path are too careful, and the big man has not collapsed at this time, so there is no need to be so cautious. But at the same time, his uncle and aunt were full of love, which also made him feel very felt, thinking of the Fu tragedy in history, he secretly clenched his fists, and said in his heart that he would never let the tragedy happen again in this life.
Dahan, I'm here, the heroes of the late Han Dynasty, get ready to tremble!
This trip to the east of the river into the party, through the state and into the state, thinking of a total of more than 1,000 miles of the road makes people feel quite boring.
Along the way, many people saw the convoy are eye-catching, after all, the convoy is equipped with good horses, the number is large, it is rare, Guy is the captain of the Yue cavalry, there are many good horses in the army, a little bit of water, you can fill your own pockets for your own profit. Sometimes, Fuquan can't help but sigh, who said that nerds can't be corrupt for profit?
Strange to say, as soon as he entered Hedong, Huang Zhong, who had the natural vigilance of a martial artist, came to remind him, as if someone was following the convoy. Fu Quan didn't think about it at the time, but just said that the official car followed the big convoy to attract the attention of others, after all, now the Han has not yet reached the time when the people can be thieves and thieves can be people before and after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so there is no need to be so vigilant.
Later, Fuquan realized that he was wrong, and when the convoy passed by a small forest, it was blocked by thieves who were lying in ambush around the woods. There were about two or three hundred of them, scattered all around, dressed in different colors, mostly wearing brown linen short clothes, all of them were tattered, and at first glance they were bandits and thieves.
It's just quite strange that although they have different weapons like thieves, and have their own swords, guns, swords, and halberds, they are lined up in a good formation, and they all exude a fierce atmosphere, which seems to be not easy. If it weren't for the tattered clothes, it would give the impression of a trained formal part, which would be rather eerie.
Both sides are impatient for the time being, but the situation has reached a place where the whole body is affected, and it is just a matter of waiting for the time to come.
On the official car, the old man who was assigned by the imperial court to drive the official car looked left and right, his body trembling, obviously he never thought of this scene. Huang Zhong and Shi A came over at this time and discussed with Fuquan how to deal with it.
"Lord, the thieves are powerful, the number is more than twice as many as mine, and they are all elite, I am afraid it will be difficult to win, please lead the team first, and the loyalty will be broken." Huang Zhong said, and after saying that, he wanted to call everyone to guard Fuquan and leave.
Fu Quan stopped: "Wait, Han Sheng's words are different, it is true that the thieves are all strong men, but they are all foot soldiers, only a few people ride horses, and we are all elite cavalry veterans, and there are tiger generals such as Han Sheng and Daling, are you afraid of thieves?" To make everyone to the car formation, Daling and my supervision array, this line of the convoy still has a lot of bows and crossbows, this is a good weapon to block the enemy, Han Sheng led a team of fine horsemen to chisel the rear of the opponent, capture the thief first capture the king, the other party is the first few people to kill, will win. ”
Daling, is the word of Shi Abiao.
Huang Zhong and Shi A still needed to be advised, but seeing Fu Quan's eyes, they could only clasp their fists together and say, "No." ”
Fuquan and several people came to the carriage, at this time Xiao'er and Huang Zhong's wife were showing fear, Xiao Huang Xu lay next to his mother in horror, it seems that even this child who is not familiar with the world knows the danger of this trip. On the other carriage, Yu Zhong, who accompanied him, was calm, perhaps he had been accustomed to life and death with Hua Tuo in the past few years, and he was not afraid of unknown death.
At this time, Huang Zhong had gathered everyone to fiddle with the carriage and block the road in front of and behind the woods, but fortunately, the road was narrow, and the carriage was enough, so it could block the road.
As soon as Fu Quan arrived in front of the car formation, he couldn't wait to ask, "How many people are capable of fighting?" Weapon geometry? ”
Huang Zhong quickly reported: "A total of seventy-eight horsemen, including twenty-two old soldiers, all of whom are equipped with knives, ten crossbows, forty-five riding bows, and fifteen longbows. ”
"Where's the arrows?"
"I didn't bring much, only more than 400." Huang Zhong's tone was stunned, and his confidence was insufficient, after all, everyone knew that the more arrows there were, the greater the damage to the enemy, and the only way to defend them, now this point of arrows is estimated to be finished in a few rounds, how to keep it?
"That's enough!" Fu Quan's face was hideous, he looked at the few people riding horses led by the other party, and said in a deep voice: "Second and third sons, form a formation!" ”
The Great War is on the verge of breaking out......
