Chapter 150: Fortunately, Go Fast!
After sending Yang Xiao away, Song Xian and his subordinates continued to explore the road south along Taihang Cheng, and Zhao Yun, who had newly joined the Flying Cavalry Battalion, was still at the forefront. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After Zhao Yun entered the camp, Song Xian had been secretly watching and observing, although he had never seen Zhao Yun fighting with others, but judging from Zhao Yun's composure, caution and vigilance, Song Xian thought that Zhao Yun would soon be promoted.
When Lu Bu saw Yang Xiao again, he was amused by his sloppiness and embarrassment. Although he didn't get along with Yang Xiao for a long time, Lu Bu knew that this young scholar was an independent and special "angry youth" who paid attention to the quality of life and taste. can make Yang Xiao, who pays attention to her external image, look like a refugee and homeless person, which shows that the situation in Hanoi has become chaotic.
Lu Bu asked Yang Xiao to send a clean military uniform, as well as a relatively tame war horse, and then let Yang Xiao eat and drink to his heart's content, and then began to ask Yang Xiao about the situation in Hanoi.
Yang Xiao admired Lu Bu's unhurried and calm character, if it was someone else, he might have been impatient. In front of Lu Bu and Chen Gong, Yang Xiao pointed to various places on the map of Hanoi and reported the situation to Lu Bu one by one.
In the end, Yang Xiao also reported to Lu Bu the biggest gain from his trip to Hanoi.
When the Montenegrin army had not yet completely disrupted Hanoi, Yang Xiao found Yang Jun on the outskirts of Huojia County after some inquiry. At that time, Yang Jun's family was packing up their things and preparing to go to the Meishan area of Mi County, Yin, Henan Province to avoid trouble.
Yang Xiao explained his intentions to Yang Jun, and then dissuaded Yang Jun from going to Mi County. He said to Yang Jun: "Meishan is located between Mi County and Jing County, although it is relatively quiet, but it is not suitable for seclusion to avoid trouble. It is located in the hinterland of Yin, Henan, and in the event of a war, the people of the vicinity will flock to the mountains, and then attract the officers and soldiers who arrest people everywhere. Hanoi is so close to Shangdang, even if you don't accept General Tiance's conquest, but in order to avoid trouble, you should follow the example of Chang Lin and Hu Wubiao, and hurry up with your family to Shangdang! β
Yang Jun felt that Yang Xiao was right, instead of crossing the Yellow River and fleeing to Meishan, it was better to go to Shangdang through Taihangcheng, in case he could get the general's appreciation, and his family's food and clothing would not be worried.
When Yang Jun was young, he studied with Chen Liu's famous scholar Bian Rang, and won the respect of Bian Rang, so he was very famous in the area of Won Jia. When his clan and friends heard that he was going to take his family to avoid trouble, they all came to beg him, hoping that he could take everyone with him.
Yang Jun wanted to ask Yang Xiao's opinion, but seeing Yang Xiao's anxious face, he urged him to say: "I just heard that Sun Jian broke the Dagu Pass with Yuzhou soldiers and horses, and Dong Zhuo urgently dispatched Li Dao back to help the Beijing Division. Once Li Dao led his army away, there would be chaos in Hanoi! While there is still time, hurry up and pack your things and go to the party with me! β
Yang Jun told Yang Xiao about the situation that more than 100 families of the clan and friends hoped to join him to avoid trouble and join the party, Yang Xiao pondered for a moment, and said categorically: "More than 100 families are five or six hundred people, and they must be slow to act, Huojia County is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Montenegro, once those thieves learn that there is no garrison in Hanoi, the first disaster is Ji County and Huojia!" Since you want to protect your clan and friends, you must listen to me! β
"Please also ask the virtuous brother to give me advice!"
"Gather at once all the wagons and ox carts that can be used, and send away all the old and infirm women who are not easy to travel. Bring as much dry food as you can in the car, and nothing else! I will arrange for two guards to come with me to Hanoi to lead them by the most convenient route to a deserted military city in the mountains of South Taihang, where they will stay and wait for the arrival of the group behind us. In the second group, the men should try to bring self-defense weapons, and the women should only bring valuable goods such as gold, silver and jewelry, and other bulky items should not be carried, otherwise it is tantamount to suicide. β
Yang Jun immediately acted according to Yang Xiao's suggestion, first using horse-drawn carts and ox-carts to send away the old and weak women and children in the clan, and then removing those who were reluctant to abandon their property and food from the ranks, and then fled from Huojia County with relatives and friends overnight.
On the morning of the second day after Yang Xiao and the others left, the Black Mountain Army that spread all over the mountains and fields killed them from the direction of Chaoge.
Yang Xiao took Yang Jun and his group on a different road, although they could only rely on walking, but because they didn't have to worry about the old women and children, the speed of travel was not slow at all. When they passed through villages along the way, they would also remind the local people to quickly pack up their belongings and flee in the direction of Shangdang.
Some poor people whose families were poor and had no nostalgia for them, when they saw so many people fleeing from Huojia County, followed the crowd and walked with the team. The team led by Yang Xiao gradually grew larger.
Five days later, Yang Xiao arrived at Kwai City, hidden in the South Taihang Mountains, with more than 2,000 people, and joined the old and weak women and children who had arrived here one step ahead of schedule.
Kwai City is less than 20 miles away from the southern end of Taihang Mountain, has been deep into the mountains, is a Tibetan military city, covers an area of hundreds of acres, because of disrepair, has become a little desolate and dilapidated.
Yang Xiao and Yang Jun worked together to temporarily settle these people, and before they had time to breathe, they saw scattered people fleeing here from the east direction to take refuge. After inquiring, they were shocked to learn that Huojia, Xiuwu and other counties had been broken by the Montenegrin army one after another.
Yang Xiao continued to take in the fleeing people in Kwai City, and by the way, he inquired about the information of the Montenegrin Army from them. When he learned that the Huanglong Division of the Black Mountain Army had rushed through Bo County, he sent four guards to Yang Jun and asked Yang Jun to guard Kwai City, while he went to Tianjing Pass alone to move the rescue troops. Because it was very hard to walk all the way, Yang Xiao sat down to rest in the mountains, forests and grasses, and unconsciously fell asleep, only to be discovered by the vigilant and careful Zhao Yun.
After listening to Yang Xiao's story, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong with a smile: "This guy who likes to eat beef has both ability and good luck, I think I can let him join the army and give you a hand, what do you think?" β
Chen Gong nodded, expressing his willingness to accept Yang Xiao. Lu Bu then appointed Yang Xiao to join the army for Tiance Mansion, with a rank ratio of 400 stones, and stayed in the tent to listen to it.
Subsequently, LΓΌ Bu sent someone to Song Xian to send an order, asking him to rush to Kwai City with 300 cavalry of the vanguard department as fast as possible to ensure the safety of the nearly 4,000 Hanoi people hiding there.
Because of the military information provided by Yang Xiao, Lu Bu has basically figured out the situation in Hanoi, and he said to Chen Gong: "This time, the Montenegrin army invaded Hanoi with a large number of people, and there were eight large and small teams. β
Chen Gong suggested: "Although the flying cavalry battalion is strong, it only has 3,000 people, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of Black Mountain rogues, it is absolutely impossible to divide the troops and rush forward. Since the Huanglong Department is so arrogant, then use it to open the knife, as long as the Huanglong Department is surrounded, the rest of the forces will inevitably come to the rescue, and then open the net to wait, it will be able to receive miraculous results! β
