Chapter 19: Bait (2)
Judging by his envious gaze, he looked at Liu Kan who was walking in front.
Liu Kan wore a Qin army-style black shirt (ru, ersheng, sound, such as sound), covered with leather armor made of rhinoceros skin, and tied into a vertebral bun. From a distance, it is no different from the legendary old Qin soldier, holding a bronze shield in his hand, and inviting a bronze sword in his palm.
On his back was a Qin army-style iron sword, about four feet long.
When he walked, he was tall and shy, and there was a sense of solemnity in his majesty.
However, the judge and the others obviously did not have such equipment, so they could only be rationed a slightly old black shirt, with arrows or arrows in their hands, Tang Li and Cao Wuxian were also equipped with a hard bow of one and a half stones, and twenty wolf-tongue arrows were in the quiver, panting and marching with the army.
"Why can Ah Kan match armor?"
He muttered softly. You know, soldiers with armor and soldiers without armor will have completely different fates. With leather armor protection, it can always be more secure. Although it may not be a war, it is always a good thing to have more protection.
Cao Wuxian sneered: "It's easy to match armor, in the past, I fought with Ah Kan, and if I win, I can definitely match armor." ”
"Then I'd rather not have armor. Fight with this guy? I'm not crazy...... Of all the people, only the butcher could beat him. ”
He muttered, and his gaze turned to the only person in the group, who was riding a horse.
That person's name is Zhao Tuo, and he is the Iron Eagle Ruishi. According to legend, this man was only twenty years old, but he was the master of countless battles and murderous people. Just last year, this Zhao Tuo was also given the honor of escorting the imperial sword by Qin Wangzheng because of his outstanding military exploits, and he was very famous in the Qin State.
The so-called protective sword is the personal guard of King Qin.
Qin Wangzheng had a suspicious temperament, especially after Jing Ke's assassination failed, and no one was allowed to carry a sharp weapon and get close to him for 200 steps.
And the meaning of escorting the sword is that you can wear weapons and follow the Qin Wangzheng.
If it weren't for his loyalty, if it wasn't for the great trust of Qin Wangzheng, how could he get such an honor? Therefore, it is rumored that this Zhao Tuo will definitely be able to become the second Meng Tian figure in the future. Unexpectedly, Qin Wangzheng actually sent such a person to Pei County.
Tang Li said: "According to Qin Law, only Wu Chang and above can be rationed armor. If you want the equipment on Kan's body, then bless us with the battle along the way. When the time comes, if you can kill the opponent's armor, you can enjoy military merit and be promoted to the rank of military commander. ”
"Whew!"
Judging the food and couldn't help but take a sip, "Crow's mouth, don't say such unlucky words." What I hope most is that this journey will be safe and sound, and there will be no trouble. It's better if we get to Binh Duong, where the fighting is over, and then we can go home......
As for whether the military merit is a military merit or not, I haven't thought about it.
Besides, wearing that armor will add twenty pounds to the least. On a hot day, I don't want to feel uncomfortable. ”
Liu Kan led the team in front, but the words between the people behind him were clearly heard.
I couldn't help but laugh. This is a real treasure sometimes. But with such a person here, there was a lot of laughter.
Thinking of this, Liu Kan's gaze unconsciously slanted, and glanced at Liu Bang, who was walking in front of the side.
Liu Bang is also equipped with leather armor, also with a black spine bun, dressed like a Qin soldier and a soldier. As if sensing Liu Kan's gaze, Liu Bang turned his head and met Liu Kan's gaze. He smiled slightly, nodded at Liu Kan, and then turned his head again, walking casually.
What kind of person is this guy!
Liu Kan raised his eyebrows and withdrew his gaze. During these days of marching, Liu Kan got to know Liu Bang a little more. This person...... It's very atmospheric, and there is also a chivalrous spirit. And he also takes great care of the people around him. Judging from his actions of taking the initiative to take a weapon for a guard, this person ...... At least he knows how to win people's hearts. At the same time, he is very eye-catching and clever.
However, Liu Kan can't see any traits worthy of countless people to follow.
Those small means may be useful for Xiahou Ying and Fan Xu, but how can characters like Xiao He and Zhang Liang follow him?
I don't understand, I really don't understand!
Thinking of this, Liu Kan shook his head gently.
Looking into the distance, the road was so muddy. This time, he escorted the grain and grass, and even before leaving, he failed to say goodbye to Mrs. Kan.
Presumably, Madame Kan will also feel uneasy now.
And Lu Pheasant, that shrewd girl, what is she doing at the moment? From the current point of view, there is no intersection between Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang. I don't know if it was because of my appearance that Lu Pheasant and Liu Bang embarked on two paths...... Maybe.
Along the way, Liu Kan was thinking nonsense.
In the evening, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky. And after nightfall, the rain did not stop, but became heavier. If it were a normal day, everyone would be very happy to have such a rain to relieve the hot temperature. But now, everybody is cursing. The reason is simple: although the heavy rain has lowered the temperature, it has also made the road more difficult.
The weather in May can change as it is said, and there is no pattern at all.
At dawn, the rain was heavier.
As if the Tianhe River had broken a gap, the soybean-sized rain crackled and fell, and the entire front was shrouded in rain and fog.
The grain truck got stuck in the pothole several times, and it took dozens of people to carry it out.
If it rains like this for another day, it will definitely not be possible to escort the grain and grass to Binh Duong on time. According to Qin's law, all those who escorted grain and grass would be punished. Liu Kan and others are in a hurry! But the more anxious he was, the more trouble he had, and a grain truck fell into a pit.
The wheel is disconnected all at once!
The car collapsed on the road. More than a dozen people shouted vigorously, but they couldn't lift the grain cart for half a minute. Liu Kan and Fan Xu glanced at each other, stepped forward and pushed away the guard. The two of them grabbed a cart and without saying a word, they pulled the grain cart out of the mud pit.
However, this pull made Liu Kan's face change, and he couldn't help but glance at the food in the car.
Something is wrong, why is this grain truck so heavy, I'm afraid it will weigh more than a thousand catties.
A car can be loaded with 500 catties of grain at most...... No wonder the wheels will break, so heavy, I'm afraid it's past the limit. On the other side, Fan Xu's face also changed a little. glanced at Liu Kan, and then at the grain cart, thoughtfully.
"Hurry up, change your wheels!"
The Wu Commander, named Ren Ao, shouted loudly.
Liu Kan took advantage of the moment when he propped up the vehicle and peeked at Zhao Tuo not far away. It's strange, it stands to reason that Zhao Tuo should be very anxious, why is he calm? Looking at his appearance, it is clear that he is not worried about the trip being delayed because of this.
No, there must be something greasy in this......
The grain wagons were quickly rested, and the grain convoys continued their march on the muddy roads in the rain.
At this time, Liu Bang suddenly leaned over. Fan Xu and Ren Ao stood behind Liu Kan intentionally or unintentionally, separating the four of them, and at the same time surrounding Liu Kan. Liu Kan was stunned and glanced at Liu Bang in surprise, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Little brother, do you think something is wrong?"
Liu Kan raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?" ”
"Tuzi just told me that the cart is probably not food."
Liu Kan was startled and turned his head to look at Fan Xu. But seeing that Fan Hao was expressionless, and seeing Liu Kan looking over, he just nodded lightly.
"If it's not food, what can it be?"
Liu Bang said: "Two days ago, the grain truck was definitely not so heavy. Why does the amount of water change when it comes into contact with water? I speculated that the car was loaded with sediment and stuff, which is why it became so heavy when it came into the water. Little brother, it looks like there is something wrong with this mission. ”
Sediment?
Liu Kan shook his head and reacted suddenly.
There is no grain and grass in the car, so in this case, the destination of this mission is afraid that it will not be Pingyang. Could it be ......
Liu Kan glanced at Liu Bang and said softly, "You mean ......"
Liu Bang nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid our mission this time is to be used as bait by the Qin people to fish." ”
"Fishing?"
Liu Kan glanced at Zhao Tuo who was on the horse in the distance, "Using an Iron Eagle Ruishi as bait, this fish is probably not small." ”
Liu Bang said: "As a result of the bait, ten percent will be eaten by the fish." Little brother, we are now tied to a line, and we should take care of each other and cooperate with each other. ”
"How to cooperate?"
"We ......"
Liu Bang glanced around, "If the situation is not right, run away." ”
Liu Kan sneered, "Escape? Where to flee to? The world is so big, it is not the king's land, I don't want to hide my head and tail for the rest of my life, and I dare not see people. Besides, even if I can escape, what will my mother do? Is it possible to look at my mother's age and suffer for me again? ”
"This ......"
"Don't forget, in the Qin law, there is a way to sit together."
Liu Bang looked a little embarrassed, laughed and said, "The little brother is still a filial son, amazing!" Then I won't hide it from you, I think the fish that the Qin people are going to catch this time is probably the tomb of the madman Wang of Chu State. You don't know, Wang Ling's soldiers are strong and strong, but it's not easy to deal with. ”
Liu Kan tightened the copper Yue in his hand, "Even if that fish is fierce, it may choke to death by the bait." There is a way for soldiers to block, and water to fill in the soil. The eldest husband is born as a hero, and he is also a ghost when he dies. I don't care about my family suffering because of my own selfishness. If there is really danger, if you fight to the death, you can't say that you can still survive. I was not a good man before I fought, so I decided to stay and fight. ”
Life should be a hero, and death is also a ghost!
Liu Bang's eyes lit up, and he immediately glanced at Fan Hao and Ren Ao behind him.
I saw Fan Hao with a straight face, but nodded vigorously. In those eyes, there was a light of appreciation, staring at Liu Kan.
Liu Bangyi gritted his teeth, "In that case, fight the fuck!" ”
