Chapter 29 [Chase Deng Zhi!] 】
A talent with more than 80 commands, politics, and charisma, even when he plays games in the future, it is very gratifying to be able to log in, not to mention that Wei Yan is most lacking in such talents now, he must not let Deng Zhi miss him like this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
He hurriedly ordered to go down, let Chen Zhi lead the overall situation, stay in Weijiawu Fort, Guan Hai led 3,000 recruits to continue training, Wei Zhong, Wei Xin, Wei Xiao and others continued to be responsible for civil affairs, Mintun, and city building, he and Li Yan led ten cavalry, set off in the starry night, went to Xinye, and visited Deng Zhi.
From Yiyang to Xinye, more than 200 miles, although it is far away, but this belongs to the Nanyang Basin, the terrain is also flat, they ride horses, gallop all the way, at dusk, arrive at Xinye.
Li Yan looked at Wei Yan with admiration: "No wonder the lord wants to find these Hun horses (later known as Mongolian horses) to ride, although they are short and small, their endurance is extraordinary, they have run for more than two hundred miles, and they only need to rest for a while, and the horsepower is all restored. ”
Wei Yan patted Li Yan on the shoulder: "Zhengfang is really a great talent, and he actually saw the most important purpose of asking for this kind of Hun horse!" Although this horse is short and small, which is not conducive to charging on the battlefield, it has extremely strong endurance and can withstand long journeys, let alone run two hundred miles, even if it runs thousands of miles in one day and one night, it still has the strength to spare.
Secondly, it does not need to eat any fine grain, and even if it is raised extensively, it will not lose weight easily.
It is hard-hitting, and it is many times stronger than those horses of the Western Regions.
It is highly fertile and can easily breed a lot of war horses.
It is hardy, and now the weather is getting colder every year, which is more suitable for this kind of horse.
Moreover, this horse is not afraid to go into battle, can communicate with the rider, and will even be enthusiastic about going into battle.
Another point, if the soldiers are short of food during the expedition, the mare's mare's milk can save the lives of the soldiers! ”
He wanted to say that a thousand years later, there was a Mongolian man named Temujin, who used this kind of horse to sweep across the Eurasian continent and establish an unprecedented Mongolian Empire, which was honored as Genghis Khan.
Of course, he couldn't say it that way, so he decided to say it in a different way: "Zhengfang, do you believe it?" If in the future, our soldiers can ride such war horses, we can expand the territory for the Han Dynasty, and we can fight all the way to the current Great Qin (the name of Rome in the Eastern Han Dynasty)! ”
Li Yan nodded: "The last general is convinced!" Since this horse has so many advantages, while the other princes have not discovered it, we will quickly stock up on more such war horses. The last general saw that there were many Hun horses in Zhang Xiu's army, but unfortunately they all regarded Xiongnu horses as horses pulling carts, if we bought them with a lot of money, Zhang Xiu must be willing! ”
Wei Yan said with a smile: "Zhengfang, I will hand over the matter of the war horse trade to you, I hope that within three months, we can have three thousand Hun horses." ”
At this time, Xinye City was still under Liu Biao's control, they were bargaining with Zhang Xiu, and they hoped that Zhang Xiu would help him guard the gate of Wancheng, and they didn't want to give Zhang Xiu too much gold, silver, grain and grass, so Liu Biao's men and horses were still on guard against Zhang Xiu leading his troops south, and they were particularly sensitive to people riding tall Xiliang war horses and holding sharp blades.
In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, this time Wei Yan and the others were all pretending to be merchants, their weapons were wrapped in cloth, and they were riding short Hun horses, but they did not attract the special attention of others.
Li Yan first took Wei Yan to Deng Zhi's residence in Xinye City, and the building was empty.
Then they left the city overnight and rushed to Dengjiazhuang outside Xinye City, where Deng Zhi's old house was located.
As a result, when I went to Dengjiazhuang and asked, I learned that Deng Zhi had packed his things and went to Xishu a day ago, because Deng Zhi's parents died early, and he did not marry, he rode alone, and walked very fast, and now I am afraid that he has arrived in Xiangyang.
Li Yan thought for a while and said: "If Bo Miao goes to the direction of Xiangyang, it will be to go to Jiangling to take a boat and take a waterway through Jiangzhou to enter Shu." Lord, do we continue to chase? ”
"Chase, of course you have to chase!" Wei Yan said firmly: "Even if I chase Xishu, I will chase Deng Bomiao!" I, Nanyang Talent, how can I be in Shudi, Liu Zhang's person is weak, how can I reuse him, and how can I watch the pearl in dust? ”
Li Yan nodded: "Okay, let's continue chasing!" ”
Although he didn't say much, he was very impressed by Wei Yan's thirsty attitude, compared to a master like Wei Yan, Liu Biao, who was arrogant and focused on his life background, was really not a good master!
At this time, Wei Yan's mind sounded the empty and sexy voice of the artifact elf again: "Lord, you have shown a thirsty posture to win Li Yan's favor, and Li Yan's loyalty has climbed by 135." ”
Wei Yan couldn't help but secretly exclaim, if he had returned home just now, would Li Yan's favorability decline, this era of the Three Kingdoms is really an era of "not only the king chooses the minister, but the minister also chooses the king", if you don't want to be a virtuous corporal, with your background and reputation, you may not get any good talents.
That night, they rested in Dengjiazhuang, and an hour later, they traveled in the starry night and arrived in Hanshui at dawn.
Crossing the Han River, along the official road, looking for people along the road asked, and learned that Deng Zhi passed by half a day ago.
Wei Yan and Li Yan hurried up and chased after them.
Forty miles southwest of Xiangyang, bypassing a mountain, he found that on the official road ahead, dozens of thieves surrounded a carriage, and more than a dozen slave-looking people had died in front of the carriage.
A young man in his twenties rode in front of the carriage, stretched out his bow and arrows, and shot more than a dozen people, and the other bandits did not dare to rush forward.
At this time, the man's quiver had run out of feather arrows, so he raised his spear in his hand and fought with the bandits.
Maybe he was a little tired from the journey, or maybe his martial arts were not good enough, when he stabbed more than ten bandits to death, his strength was a little weak, and he was about to be taken by the bandits.
At this moment, the curtain of the carriage suddenly opened, and a woman came out of it, with a plain skirt, facing the sky, without any jewelry, and coldly glanced at the group of thieves: "If you rob money, the little woman has no money or jewelry here, if you rob the color, the little woman is here, but please let this strong man go!" ”
She held a strange handle in her slender hand, and her blue eyes flashed with a cold light, and she sighed secretly, if it wasn't for that person blocking the carriage, I could have shot all these bandits with a mechanism, what could I do!
The thieves looked at the woman and were all disappointed!
The leader of the bandits couldn't help but scold: "Ugly monster, who wants to rob your sex!" It's that bastard who said that the daughters of rich families are all beautiful women, stand up, Lao Tzu killed him! Brothers, kill this meddler, and then let's leave! ”
When the strong man saw the woman's appearance, he gasped, and at the same time relieved his heart, even if he escaped, those bandits would not attack her idea, and hurriedly rode his horse away.
More than a dozen bandits chased after him with knives.
