Chapter 282: The Grass Bridge will be the prince of the king
Kong Sheng turned over and waved his hand: "Let's go!" ”
Mu Changfeng got on the horse and stretched out his hand to Xue Rou. Because Xue Rou's mount was weak, and she was dying after several hours of high-intensity galloping, she could only ride the same horse as Mu Changfeng.
Cheryl hesitated.
She looked at Su Wan, who was standing alone not far away and staring at the sky, and stopped talking. But she immediately smiled shyly, grabbed Mu Changfeng's hand, and let Mu Changfeng take her on the horse.
Kong Sheng took the lead and ignored Su Wu.
In the middle of Mercedes-Benz, Mu Changfeng said loudly in the wind: "Third brother, don't you wait for Su Wu?" ”
Kong Sheng said lightly: "Brother Mu, don't worry about her." She's going to follow, she doesn't have any choice but to follow us. ”
Mu Changfeng sighed and said nothing more.
Really. After the tea, Su Wu chased after her horse and whip angrily, her whip exploded in mid-air, she clamped the horse's belly, sped up, rushed past Kong Sheng, and raised Kong Sheng's dust.
A smile appeared on the corner of Kong Sheng's mouth, and he looked up at the blue sky in the gallop, and his mood became very comfortable. This went to Jiyin County, no matter how many twists and turns and changes there were in the middle, and no matter what means were taken, in short, the goal was achieved, with the support of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xixi, he really had the capital to gain a foothold in Henan Province and fight against the traitors.
Because he wanted to avoid the pursuit of Gao Chengyi or Song Ting's army, Su Lu led the army to take a tortuous route around Jiangbei. Although this has increased the distance by hundreds of miles, the safety factor has been greatly improved.
Two days later.
In a small town called Caoqiao in Jiangbei, Kong Sheng and his party of four finally joined the Xixi soldiers and horses led by Su Lu. This place is far from Pengcheng County, where King Li Ju is located. It's only two or three hundred miles. And it is about the same distance from Xiayi.
To the west of Caoqiao Town is Xiayi. And to the east is Pengcheng.
Mu Changfeng looked at Su Wu, who had entered the Xi soldiers' camp with an excited face, and couldn't help but turn his head to Kong Sheng and lowered his voice and said worriedly: "Third brother, aren't you worried that Su Wu and Xixi people will change their hexagram after they meet?" What should we do if she regains control of the horses and turns against us......
Kong Sheng smiled and shook his head: "Brother Mu, it's useless to worry. However, I expect that there is no turning back for the Xixi people. Although Su Wan hated me for using means. But she knows better than anyone that now the rebels hate the betrayed Xixi people to the core, and if she leads the army back, it will only be a dead end. ”
As he was talking, Kong Sheng's face suddenly changed, and he galloped towards the high ground in the town. On the official road on the east side, the smoke and dust were swept and the flags were unfurled, and after a short time, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves could be clearly heard gradually approaching, and it was obviously a cavalry team with a number of no less than 100 people.
Mu Changfeng hurriedly said: "Third brother, is it King Yu's person?" ”
Kong Sheng looked gloomy and nodded. Raise your finger and go: "It's obviously King Yu's men and horses, you see that they are waving the banner of Jiangbei." ”
Su Lu and Su Wu galloped with more than 100 Xi soldiers. His expression was also a little solemn.
The movement speed of King Yu's cavalry team is very fast, that is to say, the kung fu between the words has appeared in the field of vision of Kong Sheng and the others, and the several hunting flags waving in the wind are clearly recognizable. Kong Sheng even saw that the leader was Li Chuan, the son of King Qiu, and General Xuanwei, the real power figure in the Jiangbei army under King Yu, Du Ping, both of whom were old acquaintances, but for Kong Sheng, they were not very friendly acquaintances.
The corners of Li Chuan's arrogant mouth were raised, and he slowly beat the horse over, and Du Ping followed. And Li Chuan's escort cavalry team was waiting far below the high ground, but they were ready to look murderous.
Li Chuan looked at Kong Sheng contemptuously and raised his horsewhip. For Kong Sheng, he has not looked down on him very much, not only because of the previous contradictions and conflicts, but also because Kong Sheng successfully gained a foothold in Suiyang and accumulated military exploits, becoming the head of a local military force that cannot be underestimated even if he is the king of Qiu, Li Ju.
But Li Chuan's arrogant gaze fell on Su Wan's beautiful and handsome face, and it immediately condensed. As the Li Tang clan, the prince of the prince, he has seen a lot of beautiful women, but a woman of different races like Su Wu who is not only in line with the traditional aesthetics of the Han people but also full of exotic customs, he is still the only one in his life, and he is amazed by this first side.
But Li Chuan is a nobleman of the clan after all, and he prides himself on being a nobleman, so it is impossible for him to lose his temper on the spot. He settled down, and continued to raise his horsewhip and said loudly to Kong Sheng: "Kong Sheng, after seeing this son, why don't you come to see him?" ”
The corners of Kong Sheng's mouth flickered, he didn't take the bad thing with Li Chuan to heart, but he didn't think that Li Chuan was so light and arrogant, and he wanted to give himself a dismount as soon as they met, how could Kong Sheng eat this set, to deal with a noble child like Li Chuan, he had the means.
Kong Sheng pretended not to know or did not see Li Chuan clearly, and shouted condescendingly on the high ground on his horse: "Who is coming? This official is the imperial court's Zhao ordered Henan overseer envoy and ranger general, how dare you let this official dismount and pay a visit? ”
Li Chuan didn't expect Kong Sheng to pretend not to know, and couldn't help but be furious: "Kong Sheng, you are so presumptuous!" A certain prince of the king, you are a five-grade petty official, an insignificant member of my father's command, and you dare to be rude to this son? ”
Su Wu looked at Li Chuan and Du Ping and the murderous tiger and wolf cavalry behind them on the horse, and a sly smile gradually appeared on the corner of her mouth. And this sly smile disappeared in an instant when it was projected on Kong Sheng's back.
Sulu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that it was the prince of King Qiu, and he didn't expect that Kong Sheng, as the backbone of King Qiu's faction, would openly not buy the prince of King Qiu. Of course, this Li Chuan is arrogant and arrogant, and he does not leave a good impression on Su Lu.
Xuanwei General Du Ping also immediately reprimanded: "Kong Dujun, after seeing the prince, why don't you get off the horse to see you?" ”
Kong Sheng laughed out loud and rushed down, followed by Su Wu and the others.
"It turned out to be the son of the world in person. Please forgive Kong Sheng's clumsiness, he didn't recognize it, so I said, who is so arrogant, it turns out to be the prince of the king! Kong Sheng's laughter was filled with all kinds of mockery that even a fool could hear.
Li Chuan was furious, but before he could refute, he heard Kong Sheng say coldly and lightly: "Although the prince was born in a clan and is the prince of the king, he has no officials, no positions and no court orders, and an unemployed prince dares to drive the court officials to dismount and pay respects, where is the law of the Tang Dynasty?" ”
Li Chuan's anger was choked back by Kong Sheng's indifferent words, his face was red and embarrassed.
Du Ping was stunned and took a deep breath. He suddenly realized that he was facing a young man who was not easy to deal with, with Kong Sheng's current merits, rank and status, and his military power, and now it was a time of war, according to the law he had his own authority and dignity, even King Yu could not easily offend, let alone the son of King Yu, a son who had not yet inherited the throne. Moreover, King Yu is still an extremely marginal clan, not a direct prince.
Su Wan rolled her eyes in the back, and said in her heart that it seems that the relationship between Kong Sheng and King Yu is not as good as rumored, and they all say that Kong Sheng is King Yu's henchman, it seems that this needs to be a question mark. (To be continued.) )
