Chapter 238: The Mystery of the Iron Rider
In the evening, Situ Yuan Feng's mansion was dimly lit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Taifu Yuan Kui, Sikong Zhang Wen, Cai Yong, Wang Yun and the Qingliu Party in the middle of the court all gathered in the mansion. The elderly Yuan Feng was in the main position, and said with a solemn face: "Ladies and gentlemen, what are the opinions of the princes on the affairs of the court and the central government today? ”
"This is a national misfortune!"
Cai Yong was the first to speak: "The eunuch's move is really to lure the Son of Heaven to be the king of the dead country, and the thief is hateful!" ”
"Not bad!"
Wang Yun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty has always liked sound and sex, and now the eunuch has built a West Garden, which contains a naked swimming hall and a palace market. If this is the case, Your Majesty is addicted to sound, and the Han is in danger! Now there are yellow turban thieves outside, eunuchs inside, and the Han Dynasty is in danger! ”
Zhang Wen said: "The words of Bo Ji and Zishi are sobering, what does Lord Situ think? ”
Yuan Feng glanced at everyone, shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Bo Jiao and Zishi have not been able to see the true nature of the matter. I'm afraid this is at the behest of His Majesty! ”
"What?"
Everyone was taken aback, and Wang Yun couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty, how could it. ”
Yuan Feng shook his head and said: "Although this is instructed by the Son of Heaven, it is definitely not the Son of Heaven who came up with it. I'm afraid that Zhang Rang has already bewitched His Majesty. When he was in the court, he made a slight calculation, and this cost was definitely not a small amount. Now that the treasury is empty and the military budget is tight, His Majesty will not use the military budget to build the West Garden, but can only send various officials to it, so I am afraid that the officials below will desperately take this opportunity to squeeze it. In this way, the power of the Yellow Turban Thieves is even stronger! ”
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
Jizhou.
"So lightly and quickly, Cao Bao's target is not in Nanpi? Where would that be? ”
Zhang Liang is strong in martial arts in the Yellow Turban Army, but it is by no means his strong point to give advice, which can be seen. However, He Yi was not a strategist, and it was difficult to guess the enemy's movements.
"General, instead of speculating here, it is better to rush the army to break through the enemy forces of Xu Ming and Zhang Ju, and then our army will return to the division, and we will not be afraid of any conspiracy of Cao Bao!"
He Yi really couldn't guess the enemy's movements, so he said helplessly.
"Well, according to your word! The whole army is moving faster! ”
Zhang Liang rushed behind him and roared.
"The whole army is speeding up, and the general is ordering the whole army to speed up~"
The herald behind him galloped away~
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
In Jizhou, on the official road south of Nanpi, a Han army of tens of thousands of people is advancing rapidly, led by one person, dressed in military uniform, with an ordinary appearance, but no one can underestimate him. This person is the patriarch of the Cao family, one of the two major families in Xuzhou - Cao Bao.
"General Cao~General Cao~"
Cao Bao, who was galloping, gently pulled the reins of the horse to slow down the horse, turned his head to look at the deputy general galloping behind him, and said sharply: "What's the matter?" ”
"Phew~"
The adjutant general reined in his horse, hugged his fists and said: "General, our army has traveled hundreds of miles, even if the people are not tired, the horses are also lacking." Why don't you find a place to camp and rest! ”
"Fart, you know what?"
Cao Bao whipped the deputy general's body and said viciously: "Isn't Lao Tzu tireless? But where are our fairies? This is in Jizhou, the territory of the Yellow Turban thieves. If we can't reach the Bohai Sea quickly, once the thief army sees through the movement of our army, will there still be lives for 10,000 people in this area? Get out of the way for me, order no one to rest, and speed up Lao Tzu's speed, otherwise military law will serve! ”
"This~"
The adjutant general looked at the soldiers behind him, all of them were panting, and some of them were already behind dozens of miles if they were running slowly, and they couldn't help but hesitate.
"Why don't you go soon?"
Cao Bao's cold eyes looked at the deputy general, and the deputy general's heart trembled, this was the prelude to Cao Bao's anger, and he couldn't help but say sharply: "The last general obeys the order!" ”
"Phew~"
Cao Bao looked at the back of the deputy general coldly, and spat heavily, hum, do you think I don't know about your Stone Chen family? If it weren't for the imminent war, Lao Tzu would be the first to kill you!
"Driving~"
Cao Bao shouted, grabbed the war horse fiercely with his legs, and rushed forward first.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
And the state Huangfu Song camp.
"Sigh Rhythm ~~"
The war horse raised its head and neighed, fell down, and threw down the heavily armored knight on the horse, and together with the heavy scale armor on the war horse, it slammed to the ground viciously, making a loud noise, splashing smoke and dust in the sky, and Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song, who were close at hand, were dusty.
"Alas!" Zhu Jun struck each other with his palms in annoyance, and said puzzledly: "It's been like this ten times, but I don't know what the reason is?" Why is the Yellow Turban Bandit's war horse so heavy, but our army's war horse can't be carried? ”
Huangfu Song frowned and said, "Could it be that there is something strange in it?" ”
Since witnessing the great power of the Yellow Turban Heavy Armor Iron Cavalry Charge on the battlefield, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song suddenly had the heart to crack it, and ordered the soldiers to collect several pairs of intact horse armor and heavy armor on the battlefield, so that the strong soldiers wore heavy armor, and selected the strongest horses in the army to wear horse armor, and after equipping them, they imitated the Yellow Turban Heavy Cavalry to charge, but the results of the test made the two of them very disappointed.
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song were deeply shocked by the heavy armor and horse armor on the heavy armor and horse armor on the heavy armor iron horse, thinking that all the secrets were all on the armor, so that they ignored the slight difference between the saddle used by the yellow turban and the saddle of the Han army, and they would not have thought that the biggest mystery was hidden in the greatest horse hooves, so all the ten attempts ended in failure.
Zhu Jun thought for a while and said to the quartermaster beside him, "Can you capture the thief's mount?" ”
The quartermaster shook his head and said, "No, all the captured mounts have been injured and not enough to ride, and all of them have been slaughtered and used as military rations. ”
Huangfu Song said: "Have you found anything unusual?" ”
The quartermaster said, "I have not noticed anything unusual. ”
This is not to blame the quartermaster for being careless, for after the horseshoe was nailed to the horse's hoove, after a long run and stained with mud, it had long been mixed with the horse's hooves, and it was impossible to discover the mystery without careful inspection! And the defense of the heavily armored iron cavalry is ridiculously high, and the damage is very small, and most of the cavalry falls under the horse and dies, but the war horse does not die much. Therefore, it was never found by the quartermaster.
Huangfu Song was unwilling, and asked again: "What about the saddle, have you ever left?" ”
The quartermaster said, "There are several saddles in good condition, all of which are stored in the warehouse. ”
Huangfu Song said: "Let's go, go and see." ”
Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song went to the camp tent that was used as a warehouse under the guidance of the quartermaster, and saw that it was full of messy saddles, and Huangfu Song casually picked up a few saddles and looked at them, all of which were no different from the saddles used by the Han army! In fact, all the saddles picked up on the battlefield are piled up here, and there are only a few saddles of the Yellow Turban Army, and trying to find them is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Huangfu Song wanted to rummage again, but suddenly a small colonel hurried in, with a look of panic on his face, and said to Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song: "Two generals, the big thing is not good!" ”
Huangfu Song frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter?" ”
The little colonel hugged his fists and said: "Back to the general, general, the horse is returned, the Yellow Turban thieves relied on Zhang Taishou to open the city gate, and Shangdang County has fallen into the hands of the enemy!" ”
"What?" Zhu Junhu's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Uncle Ya really surrendered to the thief?" ”
The little colonel wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, and Hu Ben Zhonglang will be defeated by the thieves halfway and thrown to Pingyang!" ”
"Servant~~"
The saddle in Huangfu Song's hand fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
"What did you say!" Zhu Jun's face changed greatly, he grabbed the junior school's sweat towel, and said sharply, "Yuan Highway's three thousand elites were defeated by the Yellow Turban thieves again??" ”
The colonel said in a trembling voice: "Yes~~ Yes, General." ”
"Whew~"
Zhu Jun let out a long breath, his face changed again and quickly calmed down, he opened his hand lightly, and said to Huangfu Song: "Huangfu Gong, go back to the camp and convene the generals to discuss the matter." Highway is the son of Situ, such a series of defeats, if you can't win a battle, I'm afraid the morale of the army will be scattered! (To be continued.) )
