Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Appearance of a Master
"Treading ......"
"Major General, a large number of soldiers and horses have been found ahead!"
"How can there be soldiers and horses here?" Xu Chu stepped forward and grabbed the spy who came back from the reconnaissance and asked loudly, just out of the mountain range, he encountered such a situation, anyone would be surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother Xu!" Xin Yue stepped forward to grab Xu Chu, Xin Yue was really a little afraid that Xu Chu would not control his strength well and hurt people. Holding the excited Xu Chu, Xin Yue turned back to the spy and asked, "How many people do you see on the other side, and what kind of dress are they?" ”
The spy staggered a few steps after being let go by Xu Chu, and was supported by the people behind, at this time, when he heard Xin Yue's question, he quickly took a few breaths, calmed down his beating heart, and immediately hugged his fists and said: "There are about 100 people on the other side, not dressed as officers and soldiers, and the clothes are quite shabby, and most of them are ordinary people. ”
"Brother Xin Yue, it seems that the other party is either a Yellow Turban Army or a bandit?" Guo Jia on the side analyzed. Then he went on to ask the spy, "How is the discipline of the other party's march?" ”
"Except for the dozen or so people who led the horseback on the other side, the rest of the people seemed to be more scattered."
Xin Yue waved his hand, "You go down and rest." Then he turned his head and instructed Wu Dadao: "Wu Da, you are sending a few flexible minds to investigate." ”
"Yes, Major General!"
Wuda left, Xin Yue and the others began to analyze the soldiers and horses they encountered belonged to which force, after all, they are now far away from Luoyang, in this place far away from the imperial city, any force itself must be very careful, after all, no one knows what kind of attitude the other party has.
"I think the other party should be some bandits, don't worry!" Xu Chu felt from the other party's dress and marching that this group of soldiers and horses was similar to those bandits and thieves in his hometown, so he judged that it should be some bandits and thieves who wandered on the official road to rob passing merchants and pedestrians.
Guo Jia disagreed with Xu Chu's opinion, "We can't judge from the other party's dress like this, don't you forget the assassin you met at the inn that night some time ago, maybe the soldiers and horses in front of you were also sent by the people behind them?" And then deliberately pretending to be like this to lead us into fooling. ”
Hearing this, Xu Chu was also silent, there is really such a possibility.
"Of course, this is just a guess," at this time, Xin Yue said: "The above two scenarios are possible, but you have missed one force, that is, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army. Our current territory is already at the junction of Jizhou and Yanzhou and close to Qingzhou, and there is still a hidden force here, the Yellow Turban Army. ”
Speaking of this, Xin Yue paused, Xu Chu and Guo Jia were also silent, they all knew that Xin Yue was from the Yellow Turban Army.
"Okay, don't be like this, although I was born in the Yellow Turban Army, the current Yellow Turban Army is no longer the original Yellow Turban Army, and those generals who were still at the beginning may be afraid that it will be difficult to say whether they will give face after seeing it."
Hearing Xin Yue say this, Xu Chu Guo Jia no longer worries about whether Xin Yue will have any scruples because the other party is a Yellow Turban Army.
After discussing for a while, the three of them still felt more relieved to see it with their own eyes, so after arranging the rest of the people in a safe place, Xin Yue took thirty soldiers and the country Xin Yue to climb a small hill next to the official road, and the situation of the other party could be seen from the top of the mountain.
During this time, although everyone worked hard, they practiced a good leg skill in the jungle, and after a while, everyone had reached the top of the mountain. Looking east from here, sure enough, there was a group of men and horses on the road in the distance.
Xin Yue did not observe the opponent's soldiers and horses first, but observed the surrounding mountains, and found that except for this small hill, there was no more complex terrain within a radius of a few miles, and it was relatively flat terrain, so it seemed that it would not work to find a place to avoid the other party.
Then he turned his head to the soldiers and horses on the road ahead, and the discoverer was as the previous spy said, there were about ten horsemen in front, and the rear were infantry, and it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that it was infantry, because many of them had no weapons on their bodies, and they should not be professional soldiers, otherwise such a team would not be able to go to the battlefield at all. Xin Yue observed it carefully and ruled out the kind of situation that Guo Jia was worried about, because even if the other party could pretend to be like this, the scattered military discipline of the ordinary soldiers in the team was difficult to pretend, and if he was not careful, he could see the flaws, but Xin Yue did not find any trace of camouflage.
"Bonghyo, what do you think?" Xin Yue asked Guo Jia.
"I think it's better to go up and test it directly!" Guo Jia said with a smile.
"Hehe, let's go and test it alone." Xin Yue said as he got on his horse and rushed down the mountain.
"Brother Xin Yue!" Xu Chu reacted at this time, but found that Xin Yue had already gone away, and couldn't help complaining to Guo Jia anxiously: "What do you mean by this, how can you let Xin Yue go alone?" ”
"Don't worry!" Guo Jia stretched out his hand to signal Xu Chu to calm down, and when Xu Chu calmed down, Guo Jia said: "Brother Xu, we see that the other party's military discipline is scattered, the personnel are uneven, and the other party is not even fully equipped with weapons, so Brother Xin Yue went to test the meaning of the other party's leader and see if the two sides can avoid conflict." ”
Hearing Guo Jia say this, Xu Chu also figured it out, but how could Xin Yue go over alone? But before he could ask, Guo Jia had already spoken again: "Don't worry, Brother Xu, you don't know the strength of Brother Xin Yue, if it is in an open field, even if the other party is all elite soldiers, it will not be able to take Brother Xin Yue, and Brother Xin Yue's force can deter the other party, then the other party should not have a conflict with us." ”
Xu Chu didn't know how to refute it now, so he could only glance at his lips and stand aside, but he still prepared the horse, if the other party bullied the widow at that time, then don't blame him Xu Chu is not polite!
Ma Xiang walked down the official road with a group of his subordinates, complaining a little in his heart about how the big leader sent himself out, someone must have made a small report behind the big leader's back, so he let himself come out to look for business on this hot day. Looking up at the scorching sun, "Phew! Ma Xiang couldn't help but curse: "**** sun, Lao Tzu soaked in the mountain spring, and was sent out to do such a thing, the day is ......"
"Brother Ma, what do you see in front of you?" Before he finished scolding, Ma Xiang was interrupted by a short young man beside him, Ma Xiang was angry, and he was about to scold the person who interrupted his words, but seeing that everyone else was looking at the side in surprise, Ma Xiang couldn't help but follow everyone's gaze.
At this look, Ma Xiang was deeply attracted, a young man in a green robe, with a white complexion, not very strong, with a natural harmony temperament, but with a strong momentum, was riding a horse towards his side. Ma Xiang kept his saliva and muttered: "I think at the beginning, I also dreamed that I could be so majestic and chic, but ......"
"Brother Ma, the other party is holding a weapon."
Ma Xiang turned his head angrily and stared at this short young man, although this kid was smart and his own countryman, so he had to be promoted by himself, but later he found out that this kid was a stupid boy who didn't understand human feelings, and he had already interrupted himself for the second time in just a short time.
Glaring at this kid fiercely, Ma Xiang still hurriedly ordered everyone to take out their weapons and prepare, just now he also saw that the other party was rushing towards himself and others with weapons, but Ma Xiang thought that the other party's powerful momentum should be his own illusion, the other party looked like although he had practiced two hands, but he should not be a master, it should be that in Ma Xiang's image, the masters are tall and burly, and the other party's body is far from the appearance of the master in his mind.
This can only be said that Ma Xiang's knowledge is limited, and the real top master is not as big as he imagined.
At this time, Xin Yue was already less than fifty meters away from Ma Xiang's team, when he heard a shout from the opposite side: "Stop!" ”
Xin Yue didn't stop, nor did he slow down in the slightest, as if he was about to rush into the opponent's team in one fell swoop. At this moment, more than 100 people on the opposite side were frightened by Xin Yue's momentum, and they were a little commotion, but fortunately, at this time, a big man who looked quite strong and a little armed shouted again: "Calm down!" "Only then did the riots stop.
Xin Yue didn't intend to clash with the other party, just now it was just to weaken the other party's morale.
"Phew!" …… When he was about twenty steps away from the other party, Xin Yue grabbed the reins.
