Chapter 249: Heavenly Cry (3)
The mountain rain did not come, but a heavy snow fell in the middle of the day.
But when I saw the snowflakes with goose feathers, they fell one after another, covering the lonely world in a layer of cold white.
This is the first snow in northern Xinjiang since the beginning of winter, and it is very heavy.
Running around for days, I almost forgot about the change of seasons. Unconsciously, according to the calculation of the Qin calendar, it has arrived in the new year. The cold wind howled across the plains, rolling up the snow and dust. Hazy, the world became blurred, as if everything had become less real, unreal, and an inexplicable chill arose. From the depths of the heart, it spreads quickly throughout the body.
Liu Kan subconsciously tightened his robe.
After passing through the mountain pass in front of you and walking for a while, you can see the sheep grass ditch.
"Tu Tu, let's hurry up and quickly pass through the mountain path."
"Whoa!"
It seems to have returned to the years when I was in Fuping.
A group of old Qin people who are not afraid of heaven and earth are not afraid of the earth, and the Huns have fought bloodily. And their leader is also today's Beiguang Wujun.
At that moment, a soldier in charge of the front pathfinder galloped in.
"Prince. Don't go just yet. ”
"What's wrong?"
"Ten miles to the south, there is a troop of soldiers and horses coming. We're going out now. Definitely meet those people. It's inevitable to fight. ”
Is it a Qin Jundi scout? These days. It's not uncommon to see such teams. Dozens of people in many places. There are a dozen people in less land. At first glance, you can tell that it is a scout team. But in such bad weather. Do the scouts still have to come out on patrol? Liu Kan couldn't help frowning. Lost in thought.
"Everybody's hiding. Wait for the other person to pass. Let's move again. ”
The crowd immediately dismounted. Pacify the horses. so that it is silent. Fortunately, they are in the right place. It is in the dense forest on the side of the mountain path. Look inside from outside the woods. It's impossible to see clearly. Plus it's dark. Snow and dust covered the sky. Less visibility. But if you look out from the dense forest. But you can see a rough idea. Liu Kan stood behind a big tree. Look out of the woods.
About 200 breaths of time, on the mountain pass, a squeaky group of men and horses.
Look at the number of people. About one genus, that is, fifty people. There were ten men on horseback, for a young general, about twenty-one and twelve years old, born with red lips and white teeth, quite graceful. Forty soldiers, escorting three prisoner wagons. There were people in the car, but they couldn't see it clearly. Originally. This is not a scout, but a convoy escorting prisoners. However, such a big snowstorm still has to be rushed? But it's a little unusual. Although the number of soldiers and horses is small, it can be vaguely seen that these soldiers are very strong.
Who is being escorted?
Liu Kan was thinking. I heard someone shouting in the prisoner's car.
"Wangbian, I'm hungry. I'm going to eat. ”
When the young general heard this, he was furious. Turning the horse's head over, he shouted, "You thief prisoner, you won't be able to live in peace along the way." Don't you look at who you are now? Do you think you're the eldest son of a general? Eating...... Lao Tzu has been tossed enough along the way, and he is still hungry. It's not difficult to eat, and when you get to Jiuyuan City, there will naturally be something for you to eat. Now shut up for me. ”
The voice of the man in the prisoner's cart is so familiar!
Liu Kan was stunned. On the side, Tu Tu couldn't help but open his eyes and clenched the bronze big Yue. He lowered his voice and said, "Junhou, it's two sons." ”
Yes......
It's the Meng Ji and Munch brothers!
The two of them actually became prisoners? But it's normal to think about it...... The so-called principle of cutting grass and eradicating roots. It was impossible for Wang Li not to understand. Meng Tian died, so how could the two brothers be safe and sound? He had been busy running for his life before, but he didn't want to meet his two brothers here.
Glancing at Tu Tu, Liu Kan made a decision.
Meng Meng Meng Ke, I can't help it......
He raised his hand and made a gesture in the air. Eight Lou Fu cavalry soldiers, running around with Liu Kan, have been counted for three or four years. survived the bloody battles again and again, and has formed a tacit understanding with Liu Kan. Liu Kan beckoned, and they immediately understood the meaning. Picking up his bow and arrows, he quickly reached the edge of the dense forest. Then he knelt on one knee, bent his bow and arrows, and waited for orders.
This building annoying cavalry was originally a naturalized Hu person, and he was good at riding and shooting.
He can wield a strong bow and ride a fierce horse. This bow and arrow, a black bow of all colors, has six stone power, and can penetrate the bronze armor within a hundred steps; The arrow is a wolf's tongue arrow, and it is also a sharp arrow of the Qin army's system, smeared with poison, and it is a sharp weapon for the Great Qin Arrow Array to deal with the Huns, and it is extremely powerful.
It was very windy and snowy and dusty.
Liu Kan calculated, rushed out of the dense forest, and after three rounds of arrows at most, he would start hand-to-hand combat. With such a snowstorm, it is difficult to judge how many people Sharp Arrow can shoot and injure. In other words, after three rounds of arrows, he and Tu Tu ten people will have to fight with each other.
Several ways to fight quickly came to mind, and the best plan was chosen.
Liu Kan inserted the red flag upside down, took out a big yellow bow, and put on a red-stemmed white feather arrow. Only listen to the soft sound of rattling, and the bow is full
The thumb-thick red stem and white feather arrow whistled away from the string.
As soon as the young man on horseback turned around and walked to the front of the procession, the red-stemmed white-feathered arrow arrived in front of him. The wind was indeed very strong, but this red-stemmed white-feathered arrow was shot with a strong bow of twelve stones, and at a distance of one hundred and fifty paces, it could be said that it could penetrate the golden stone.
The cold wind did not have much effect on the red stem and white feather arrows, but it muffled the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air.
The youngster was caught off guard, and turned his head to see that Nariya had already arrived in front of him. The red-stemmed white feather arrow has a strong strength, and the young general is in the middle of the pengdi. With tremendous force, the little general's body fell from his horse at once, and he fell to the snow with a puff, and there was no sound at all.
At the moment when Liu Kan shot the first arrow, he threw off the big yellow bow, picked up the red flag, dragged the flag, and rushed over like the wind. Tu Tu and the others followed him, running and shooting arrows at the same time. After shooting three arrows in a row, he threw off his bow and arrows and drew his weapon.
Three rounds in a row. The lethality caused by the wind and snow is actually very small.
Only one person was shot. But the impact of these three rounds of continuous shooting, as well as Liu Kan's earth-shattering arrow, is immeasurable. The Qin army did not expect to be ambushed here. In addition, the teenager was shot suddenly, and many people did not react.
Liu Kan swept in like a wind, and the red flag was raised, with a cold light, imprinted in the snow and dust.
He is tall and has long legs. In addition, the pace is extremely flexible. In front of him, a cavalryman had just taken a sharp arrow, and Liu Kan's red flag arrived. The cold light silently swept over the body of the cavalry, and Liu Kan continued to run wildly without stopping. Seeing that there were still six or seven paces away from the second cavalry, he suddenly stepped into the air, and slammed into the gate of heaven with one move, knocking the horse cavalry to the ground.
Hit the ground with both feet and grab the reins of the horse. Turn over and get on the horse.
At this time, the ** mount of the first cavalry suddenly fell into a different place. A puddle of hot blood spurted out of the chamber of the war horse, and then the war horse fell to the ground. And the cavalry on the horse was cut in two by a knife from the waist and hip. On itself fell on the snow. Its cavalry couldn't help but let out a terrible scream, and immediately lost their breath. And at this time. Liu Kan had already jumped on the war horse, waving the flag with both hands, and the cold light fluttered with the snow and dust.
Coupled with the young general he shot before, four cavalrymen fell in a pool of blood in the blink of an eye.
Tu Tu led the people to rush over, and where the big shield bronze Yue passed, the Qin army's bones were broken and tendons were broken, and the screams were endless.
Fifty Qin troops. In the blink of an eye. Scared to the death. The two cavalrymen took the lead in fleeing, and Liu Kan did not pursue. Riding his horse and rushing to the prisoner's cart, his hand up and down. Listening to the click, the red flag split the prisoner car into pieces, and Meng Ji jumped out first.
A lazy donkey rolled on the ground and picked up a long one.
"Junhou, save my brother and Brother Li Cheng!"
This guy is a fierce general, and his martial arts are strong. In the barracks, he was caught by the envoy sent by Wang Li unexpectedly, and he held a breath of earth in his stomach. Coupled with hearing the bad news of his father, Meng was overwhelmed with grief and indignation. It was noisy and noisy along the way, but the killing intent in my heart became stronger and stronger. Now that he is out of the cage, if he can't kill him, I'm afraid that the whole person will explode. The long splits pick and thorn, and there are many changes. Tu Tu automatically approached Meng Ji, and the two of them left and right, killing the escorted Qin army and fleeing in embarrassment. A sudden battle, the curtain soon came to an end.
More than 20 of the escorted Qin soldiers were killed, and the rest had no intention of fighting again, so they dispersed in a hurry. Meng Ke and Li Cheng were also freed at this time. The two didn't have time to thank them, so they rushed up and grabbed Liu Kan, who had just dismounted. Munch said in a trembling voice: "Prince, my father is ......"
"The general died well, and the second son mourned!"
Munch opened his mouth, as if to speak. But before he could say this, blood gushed out, and he almost collapsed to the ground.
Ever since learning of his father's death, Munch has been depressed. He is not like his brother, who can vent his sorrow in his heart by making noise.
Depressed in my heart, I faintly don't want to believe it.
Now that I heard Liu Kan personally confirm it, the anger in my heart can no longer be suppressed, and this mouthful of blood spurts out, but I feel a lot more relaxed.
"If you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!"
Munch picked up a sharp arrow and broke it with force.
And Meng Ji held a long in one hand and an iron sword in the other, walking around in the snow, slashing dead bodies with iron swords from time to time, seemingly to check whether there were people who faked their deaths, but in fact, he was using another way to vent the grief and anger in his heart and the determination to take revenge.
Li Cheng said in a trembling voice: "Junhou, the eldest prince ...... him"
Liu Kan briefly recounted the matter of Jiuyuan, and finally said softly: "The eldest prince was seriously injured by Wang Li, and now it is very dangerous.
I was going to go to Yangcaogou to catch a Langzhong, but I didn't expect to meet you. ”
Liu Kan did not ask about the arrest process of the Meng brothers. In fact, there is no need to ask about the process, Liu Kan can guess a rough idea.
"Sheep grass ditch?"
Munch tilted his head and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I once passed by that place, and there are indeed almost all people. But I don't remember what Langzhong was there. I remember that my eldest brother and I stayed there for one night, and the locals said that if we wanted to find Langzhong, we would have to walk dozens of miles. ”
"Huh?"
Liu Kan couldn't help but gasp.
There is no Lang Zhong......
Li Cheng said: "I have also walked through this place of Yangcaogou, and it is true that there is nothing in Langzhong. If you want to find Langzhong, I'm afraid you have to go to Xiaohuaixiang.
But there was a barracks there, with about two men stationed there. If you want to rob people in Xiaohuaixiang, I'm afraid it's unlikely.
Walking west from here, a normal two-day journey, there is a place called Wuhe Town. I vaguely remember. There is a Lang Zhong there, and his medical skills are still very good. It is said that he was a prisoner who was transferred from Jibei County...... To the south of Wuhe Town, there is Daqing Mountain, and the big river can be seen in one day to the west. Besides, there are no barracks nearby, so if we can hurry up, we might be able to get to the Wuhe River early. ”
After all, he is a person who often patrols northern Xinjiang with Fusu, and he is familiar with northern Xinjiang. Far from being comparable to the Mongol brothers. Liu Kan thought about it, and it seemed that Li Chengdi had a more appropriate idea, so he nodded in agreement at the moment.
In this attack, two more Lou Fu cavalry soldiers were killed...... But fortunately, he saved Meng Ke and Li Cheng, which can be regarded as a small gain. Liu Kan and others hastily dug two pits in the dense forest and buried the corpses of the Lou Fu cavalry. Tu Tu gathered a few war horses, and everyone got on their horses one after another, beat their horses and whipped away. The snow is getting heavier. The mess on the path was quickly covered......
For the arrival of the Meng brothers and Li Cheng, the happiest thing is to win.
Ha Wuliang is a sharp man, and Liu Xin is sullen and stupid, and it is difficult to worry about winning the results. And the Meng brothers and Li Chengcheng are different.
Relatively speaking, Yingguo's trust in the Meng brothers and Li Cheng. far more than the trust in Liu Kan.
Even if Liu Kan once escorted her all the way, she could be in Yingguo's heart. It is still the most amiable brother of the Meng family.
The reason is very simple, the Meng family was born as a brother, and it is easier to be accepted by Yingguo. At this point, Liu Kan, who lives in the Sihong area, is absolutely incomparable. As a result, this line of people has changed again. Li Cheng drove the car, and Meng Ji Meng Ke escorted the car. And Tu Tu led Fusu's guards to open the way in front. Liu Xin followed Liu Kan. Led six Lou Fu cavalry to march in the rear.
Maybe consciously, maybe unconsciously.
Yingguo gradually diluted Liu Kan. is no longer as obedient to Liu Kanyan as he was at the beginning. Take Liu Kanma as a prospect.
Li Cheng was the first person to show this kind of change, but he couldn't persuade him.
Because maybe even Yingguo himself didn't see the inappropriateness of this approach, but he was just a little girl from her own heart.
Munch was also aware of it, and had privately persuaded him to win once, but the effect was not very obvious.
As for Liu Kan, it's not that he didn't realize it. It's just that he has no intention of worrying about these things with a little girl. What he hopes most now is to send Fusu safely to Zhaoping. In this way, at least it can be regarded as an explanation to Meng Tian.
Heavy snow in the northern part of the country is coming, and it is coming one after another.
After the first day of snow, there were four or five consecutive snowfalls for two days in a row, making the already rough road even more difficult. The snow is half a wheel long, and there are occasional slips. As a result, the degree had to be slowed down.
By the third day, they were exhausted and finally couldn't hold on.
Fusu's high fever continued, and it became very difficult to find a little anti-inflammatory medicine in this wilderness. Seeing that Fusu's situation was getting worse and worse, Liu Kan couldn't help but secretly get nervous. After settling down in a sheltered place, Liu Kan asked Fusu to be lifted from the car to a cave, and after lighting a bonfire, he took off the bandages on Fusu's body, and his face couldn't help but change. The wound where the bone is deep can be seen has already appeared to rot and pus.
It's getting colder and colder, and the conditions are getting worse. If you can't deal with it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that if you drag it out, you will have to worry about your life.
"Dispose of the carrion first!"
Liu Kan said to Li Cheng: "If it goes on like this, I'm afraid that if you don't wait for Wuhe Town, the eldest prince won't be able to stand it." ”
Li Cheng and the others glanced at each other and nodded lightly.
At such times, they can't help but think about other things. At the moment, according to Liu Kandi's instructions, he was busy with all hands and feet......
Fortunately, before leaving Jiuyuan, Meng Tian prepared some medicines.
Liu Kan found a sharp short sword, burned it repeatedly on the fire, and when the edge of the knife showed a blue and red color, he cut off the rotten flesh around Fusu's wound. The sickening smell of burnt permeated the cave. On the side, Yingguo only looked pale with a small face, and did not dare to watch from the sidelines. Fortunately, Fusu was groggy at this time, otherwise the sharp pain of cutting the flesh would have to make him die of pain.
Got rid of the carrion. And the little medicine that was left was smeared.
Liu Kan carefully finished dressing Fusu and breathed a sigh of relief.
"At least it can be delayed for some time!"
Liu Kan washed away the blood stains on his hands and said in a deep voice: "Everyone take a rest, and when it gets dark, let's set off on the road." Xiao Ha led people to patrol the outside, and Xin and I waited at the entrance of the cave. The rest of us now all go to rest, and after dawn we will not stay any longer. ”
Other words. It's time to travel day and night.
Ying Guo was in charge of taking care of Fusu in the depths of the cave, while the three of them rested in the middle. Liu Kan and Liu Xin, one left and one right, guarded the entrance of the cave, and Ha Wuliang took two people to be responsible for the periphery of the guard. Soon, everyone fell into a deep sleep......
I'm so tired!
It's not just up, it's more of a mental torture.
"Faith, you can sleep for a while...... I'll stare first. I'll call you for me in the second half of the day. ”
Liu Xin responded, leaned on Liu Kan's side, hugged the mace, and soon fell asleep.
Outside the cave, the wind was cold.
Besides. It's a dead silence......
Liu Kan gently brushed his face, trying to make himself more energetic. But he is also a human being after all. along the way. Whether Ying Guo admits it or not, he is the backbone and bears a lot of pressure. When there was silence, the feeling of sleepiness came over me.
The eyelids kept fighting, and Liu Kan took a nap in a daze.
I don't know how long it was, but there was a sound of footsteps. woke up Liu Kan all of a sudden. Open your eyes and look out. Covered with snow, Ha Wuliang brought a dozen people in civilian attire. I'm walking towards the cave. Liu Kan couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly woke up Liu Xin.
"Letter. Go wake everyone up, there seems to be a situation! ”
With that, he stood up, dragged the flag away, and greeted him.
"Xiaoha, what's wrong? These people ...... Where did it come from? ”
Ha Wuzhi's face was as pale as the snow on the ground. He gasped and said in a trembling voice, "Prince, they are the people of Wuhe Town. ”
"The people of Wuhe Town?"
Liu Kan shook the spirit of the cicada. Here, there is still more than a day away from Wuhe Town, why do these people of Wuhe Town appear here?
"Master Jun, do you have anything to eat?"
An old man in costume who looked like he was a bit of an identity stepped forward, "You haven't eaten for more than a day, and you're all hungry!" ”
At this time, Meng Ji Meng Ke and others also stepped forward.
Liu Kan said: "Tu Tu, take out some dry food and share it with everyone." ”
"Prince, this is ......"
"Wait a minute!"
Liu Kan's face was gloomy, and he let the dozen or so people into the cave. These people, one by one, looked exhausted and depressed.
Xu was really hungry, but the dry food was hard, but he ate it extremely sweetly.
"Old man, what's going on? Wuhe Town is nearly 100 miles away, how can you run so far? ”
The old man was stunned when he heard this, looked at Liu Kan and the others in surprise, and said suspiciously: "Why, didn't the military masters come from the river?" ”
"By the river?" Liu Kan shook his head, "We're going to Wuhe Town." ”
"Ah, disrespectful, disrespectful...... Little Lao'er still thinks that the military masters have retreated from the river...... You can't go to this Wuhe Town! ”
"Why?"
Liu Kan asked in surprise: "Also, you just said that you thought we were retreating from the riverside?" Why do you think so? ”
"Don't you know, three days ago, the people of the Yue Clan took advantage of the freezing surface of the river and suddenly killed it. The great defeat of the riverside garrison was killed...... It is said that the Marquis of Tanglin was preparing troops and horses at the mouth of the cave at that time, and there was no defense, and the result was that the whole army was scattered, and even the Marquis of Tanglin is now nowhere to be found. Hundreds of thousands of Yue's people...... All at once the river was crossed. The night before yesterday, a detachment of Yue's people also attacked Wuhe Town. ”
Liu Kandi's head buzzed, stunned!
He opened his mouth to say something.
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't make a sound...... Not only him, but everyone, including Meng Ji Mengke, was stunned when they heard the news!
"No way. The Yueshi people are so dignified, how could they suddenly send troops? ”
"This ...... The little old man can't say it's coming. Anyway, now, Wuhe Town is gone. From Dengkou all the way to Guangwu City, there were cavalry of the Yueshi people everywhere. Those bastards are even more ruthless than the Huns...... It's not enough to kill and rob, even the house is burned. ”
Impossible, impossible......
Liu Kan's hands were trembling. The Marquis of Tanglin, who originally pinned his hopes, was now attacked by the Yue's people? It stands to reason. It is impossible for the Yueshi people to have this guts...... No, no, there's definitely something wrong with that. Aren't the people of the Yue clan afraid of retribution?
There were bursts of twitching on his cheeks, and Liu Kan's heart was cold.
"I remember, Linwo seems to have soldiers and horses, right?"
Li Cheng nodded subconsciously, "Linwo does have a team. Not only Linwo, but also Guangping and Linhe have soldiers and horses stationed.
It's just that these soldiers and horses are all subordinate to Jiuyuan and are not under the jurisdiction of Pinghou...... What ......do you mean, Prince?"
"Someone colluded with the Yueshi people. Otherwise, the people of the Yue clan would never have the courage to cross the river. ”
Liu Kan couldn't help but grit his teeth. If there is anything he hates most in his life, I am afraid it is this kind of collusion with other races. The slaughter of the people.
Who will it be? Who will it be?
In fact, this answer is very obvious, but Liu Kan doesn't know how to face it.
At this moment, I heard Yingguo suddenly cry out bitterly: "Brother...... Brother, royal brother......"
Liu Kan was startled, and hurriedly turned around and ran over. I saw Fusu fall into Yingguo's arms, and his chest was red with blood. There is still blood at the corner of the mouth.
"Prince. Save my royal brother......"
Yingguo was already out of proportion, and cried bitterly: "My imperial brother woke up just now. I happened to hear the man say that the mouth of the dog was broken and the news of Pinghou's disappearance. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fainted all of a sudden...... It seems that you don't even have to breathe, Junhou, you quickly find a way! ”
Liu Kan squatted down and tested Su's pulse.
It's still not beating......
"Let me see, I'm Langzhong!"
The old man who had asked Liu Kan for food came over, and when he saw Fusu's wound, he was stunned at first, but then regained his calmness and stretched out his hand to check Fusu's pulse. In fact, he also saw that the origin of Liu Kan's group was not ordinary.
It's just that Yingguo speaks with a dialect accent, so he doesn't really hear it.
Liu Kan no longer has to wait for his diagnosis...... stood up and walked slowly out of the cave, not even hearing Li Chengtu shouting his name. The whole person stumbled out of the cave as if he had lost his soul. The wind was cold and the snow was falling
Liu Kan only felt as if there was a fire burning in his chest, and opened his mouth to shout, but he was forced to gamble back by the cold wind.
Ten years, it took him ten years to finally know what to do.
Old Qin, go to the national disaster together!
It's a spirit. He doesn't want this spirit to disappear, but he hopes that this spirit can last forever and never wither. However, when he was determined to protect this spirit, all his efforts turned out to be a flash in the pan
Lao Qin is not dead, Lao Qin is not dead......
In my head, such a cry echoed. Liu Kan suddenly opened his mouth, facing the cold wind, and shouted one after another with the sound of gold and stone from his heart: "Wind, wind, wind......"
When the old Qin people form a formation, they will shout in a Qin accent and make a strong voice.
Over time, there is Qin Fengzhi's saying. In every wind word, there is an unyielding arrogance of the old Qin people.
Five hundred years ago, when Ying Feizi walked out of Xitui with the old Qin people, didn't it just use this shout to create the foundation of today's Great Qin? Fusu is dead, but Lao Qin will not die, as long as the spirit of Lao Qin and going to the national disaster together does not die, Lao Qin will never die!
Liu Kan looked up to the sky and roared, and together with the wind and snow, stirred the sky......
Six thousand nine hundred words, very kind
