Chapter 490: Plotting to Pacify Jiangdong (19)
When it comes to archery, among the few people in the late Han Dynasty, in addition to the world-famous generals such as Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, and "professionals" such as Cao Xing and Jiang Qin, there are actually many masters who are covered by their own higher-level martial arts aura, making their reputation inconspicuous. For example, Tai Shi Ci!
Everyone knows that Tai Shi Ci has a gun and a halberd, and was recruited by the current Xuzhou Assassin Shi Wuting Hou Qin Xu in Beihai, and led a Qingzhou soldier to be stationed in Xuzhou. With a double halberd on his back and an iron spear in his hand, he made great achievements in battles with foreign enemies such as Yuan Shu and Sun Ce several times. But few people know that on top of archery, Tai Shici, who is skilled in archery and horses, is also very commendable, but under the guidance of Qin Xu, intentionally or unintentionally, Tai Shici's goal has changed from aspiring to become a fierce general, and gradually began to develop in the direction of growing into a commander of an army, so that the original superb archery skills are not known. As soon as he came out at this moment, not only the barbarian soldiers who rebelled in the Shanyue Xindu Sect, but even the Qingzhou soldiers led by Tai Shi Ci's headquarters were also surprised.
Tai Shi Ci was originally sent by Qin Xu to snipe Sun Ce to rescue Yu Zhang's army. According to Qin Xu's guess from the information obtained from the Yan clan's rout, Sun Ce was likely to induce Qin Xu to make a move and disrupt the plot of the surprise attack on Yuzhang while expelling the Yan general's generals to "explore the way". Unexpectedly, Qin Xu temporarily changed his attention when he learned that in such a small place as Wangu County, which was located in the middle of Yuzhang County and Linshan, there were two mainstays of the Sun clan and a "big master" with superb wisdom and scheming, which made the burden on Tai Shici's shoulders a lot heavier. Not only to break the back, but also to block the pace of Sun Ce's army to return to Yuzhang. He also took on the task of doing his best to induce Sun Ce's troops to underestimate the enemy's carelessness and rashly attack to achieve the goal of Qin someone's encirclement and reinforcements. Therefore. Tai Shi Ci simply gave up the strategy of passive defense and waiting for the arrival of Sun Ce's army, turned passive into active, followed the escape path in the mouth of Yan's generals, took Yan Baihu and his headquarters soldiers and horses, and went all the way to the south, while collecting Yan's rout. While always preparing for an encounter with the Sun army, unexpectedly, he had just left from the border of Wangu County. That's what happened.
The barbarian king snakehead, Tai Shici has seen it. At that time, when the snakehead had a problem with Qin Xu, Tai Shici, who had not recovered from his injuries at that time, was by Qin Xu's side. To be honest, Tai Shici didn't like this when he borrowed the way in the army. An old man of a foreign race with an ambiguous attitude but a lot of idle things. It almost delayed the speed of the march, not to mention, and made so many flowers. However, at this moment, the Shanyue girl Wumei is in Qin Xu's "tent", although Tai Shi Ci is noncommittal about some aspects of Qin's person, but at this moment, seeing the snakehead in distress, Tai Shi Ci still doesn't mind saving her and forming a good fate.
The running bow technique that had not been used for too long and had not fallen in the slightest made Tai Shi Cimei's handsome face show a satisfied smile.
"Han people! Is it Han?! "The Shanyue rebels who didn't dare to act easily because of the coercion of the snakehead on weekdays. At this moment, he screamed in horror. There was momentum that was forced by the incoming soldiers, and he didn't even notice that the brute knife in his hand fell to the ground.
In fact, it's no wonder that these brutes are so out of shape.
The gap in strength is too great! In order to make the snakehead successfully "set". Mandu and the head of the head did not bring out too many people to make the snakehead suspicious, there are only about 30 people when the battle is full, and they are all either from other departments recently, or they are the soldiers of their own clan who are not valued by the snakehead on weekdays, the number is small, and if the snakehead sees that the people around him are all fresh faces, even if he listens to the "persuasion" of the elder Mandu and is worried about the whereabouts of Wumei, he will be on guard. But this was the inducement to the success of this plan, but now it has become a fatal shortcoming for these people. Tai Shi Ci originally came to resist Sun Ce's 10,000 army, so naturally he would not divide his troops to cause trouble for himself. In addition to the 5,000 soldiers who were replenished by Qin Xu in the headquarters, plus Yan Baihu's defeated soldiers along the way, there were also two or three thousand defeated soldiers, and the total number was close to 8,000. Therefore, what appeared in front of this Shanyue barbarian soldier of only 100 people at this moment was an army that was nearly 100 times larger, and it was no wonder that these barbarians who didn't know what fear was, were so frightened that they didn't even know that their weapons fell to the ground.
"This Han general! Please don't interfere in our clan affairs! Everyone didn't speak, but it was still the elder of the Shanyue New Capital Sect who was dressed as weirdly as Wumei before, took the lead in relieving himself, took two steps forward, and bowed very respectfully to Tai Shici and the others, who seemed to have descended from heaven, and said in the official dialect of the Central Plains with a lame tone: "When we finish dealing with the internal affairs of the clan, the general will definitely gain the friendship of our department!" ”
"This ...... It's not easy! "Tai Shi Ci is originally a strict character, but at the moment, what this strangely dressed Xindu Sect is also very reasonable. When he was intent on attacking Jiangdong before, Qin Xu said more than once that no matter what the reason, don't meddle in the internal affairs of the alien races in Jiangdong. After all, what Lu Bujun needed was a relatively stable rear, not a chaotic place that would threaten his base camp at any moment. But the barbarian king snakehead in the formation here is too special in Tai Shici's eyes. Tai Shi Ci saw a certain woman come out of Qin Xu's military tent early in the morning, go to collect wild flowers and morning dew, and have breakfast with Qin Xu. Although Qin Xu didn't understand the identity of this woman, the army had already vaguely heard a lot of "exciting" content from Kong Bin's big mouth. In addition, Wumei, who is dressed as a pro-soldier, has been living in Qin Xu's tent, which is already very revealing in Tai Shici's eyes. Therefore, Tai Shici decided to change his "beliefs" for the time being, and said that he would "help" Qin Xu no matter what.
"Understood! Got it! Got it! Tai Shi Ci didn't finish his words. The elder of the Xindu Sect already had a look in his eyes that I understood. With the yellow and green mud on that face, it almost didn't make Tai Shici spit out breakfast. I heard the elder drag the brute who was stunned, and said to Tai Shici: "General, don't worry! Although our mountain people are poor, our headquarters produces iron. There are also many contacts with the Han people in the land of Huiji and Yuzhang, and there are still some meager rituals that should be presented. As long as the general allows us to deal with the rebellion of the clan. The newly established barbarian king of our department will definitely give the general a satisfactory answer! ”
"The new barbarian king? Oops, that's not easy to handle! Tai Shi Ci glanced at the barbarians who were standing beside the Shanyue elders, who were too busy to nod at this moment, as if they had suddenly realized, and deliberately hesitated, and met the expectant gazes of the Shanyue elders and the two of them, so he teased and said in an embarrassed way: "My general Qin wants to ease the relationship between Tonger and other Shanyue barbarians. In order to govern Jiangdong in the future and straighten out the relationship, it is said that a new room is said to be the daughter of the barbarian king of the sect of the new capital of Shanyue as a side room, why do you wait for the change of the lord so often. How about calling my family General Qin? ”
"Huh? What the! Tai Shi Ci's words had just been finished, and he was originally an indifferent barbarian king Wu Feng, and he was looking humble at the moment, only hoping to fool Tai Shi Ci into the past. The two of them let out an exclamation full of incredulity at the same time. The snakehead is fine. It's just that there is a bit of inexplicable helplessness in the unbelievable surprise, but according to the barbarian degree of the "new barbarian king" said by Elder Shanyue, fire burst out directly in his eyes.
You can see it. Although he coveted the position of the patriarch of the snakehead, he still had some sincerity for the Shanyue girl Wumei. If it weren't for the fact that Elder Shanyue was pulling on it, he would have the posture of coming up to Tai Shici to explain it clearly.
"General, don't laugh!" Elder Shanyue still had a calm demeanor, dragging Wuzi with one hand and writhing, and was stared at by the Qingzhou soldiers on the opposite side. While looking at the snakehead quite defensively, he said to Tai Shici: "The Yue and Han do not intermarry. This is the most fundamental iron law that distinguishes me and other Jiangdong mountain people from those so-called familiar traitors! What's more, it's Umei, the high priest of our ministry who is in charge of the sacrificial rules? Besides, the high priest had just left the headquarters of our clan the day before yesterday, so how could he have somehow become a side room of your lordship. I also ask the general to tell your lord to investigate carefully, and don't be deceived by words. If necessary, we and other mountain people can also help the general identify it, so as to show our obedience. ”
"Don't bother Your Excellency!" Tai Shi Ci just wanted to play a trick on these Shanyue rebels, so as to find an opportunity to save the barbarian king who was not very friendly at the beginning, but seeing that the elders of the Shanyue Xindu Sect were also good people, they didn't believe what Tai Shi Ci said at all, and they caught the flaws in their words in three or two sentences, Tai Shi Ci said with a smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter if it's what you and the other people are talking about, it's not so important." Although my general Qin is quite promising, after all, he is young, he has been leading troops outside for a long time, and it is harmless to have a woman to take care of him! In addition, I waited for the generals under my command, and it was not good to ask too much about the private affairs of the lord, in fact, the words of the side room were just that I waited until I saw the woman and General Qin go out of the military account together and eat breakfast together, maybe I misunderstood. ”
This is a terrible statement! Looking at Mandu's panting face, his eyes were about to erupt with fire, no matter how he listened to Tai Shici's words, it was like adding fuel to the fire. Breakfast together? Still together? This is for fear that brute will not think crookedly! Just now, this Elder Shanyue happened to be on the "ruins" of the commander's tent in the middle of this temporary camp, and found the foraging breath of the spirit snake raised by Wumei, which proved the picture of the brute self-replenishment. This can make even though he already has the heart to replace the snakehead, but still wants the snakehead to marry the black plum to himself, how can he feel good in his heart.
"Damn Han Chinese!" The strength of the brute is countless times greater than that of the elder of the new capital of the dry mountain, just now when the reason is still there, maybe this elder can still stop the brute, at this moment, because of Tai Shi Ci's deliberate words, how can the brute of the already tendon be unbearable, and immediately screamed, and was about to pounce on Tai Shi Ci, who was already within thirty steps of the "theory". And behind the smiling Tai Shici, the Qingzhou soldier who was holding a spear of Zhangba saw such a move from Mandu, and his face also showed a mocking smile, and he secretly lowered the tip of the spear. Many people want to see if this man, who relied on his god-like fighting skills, almost made Hao Zhao, who was appointed by Qin Xu as the head of the guard beside him, almost suffer a big loss, and with that strong body, against the iron spear and spear, can he still fight more and more bravely!
"Brute, it's important! Don't come nonsense!! Elder Shanyue only felt that his voice was about to burst. When you are unexpectedly freed from the brute, you feel that something bad is going to happen. But unexpectedly, this barbarian who can listen to his own orders on weekdays, is really not easy to control when he really starts a madness, and in a hurry, he even forgot about the fact that he had just introduced to Tai Shici that this was his new barbarian king, and directly roared at the back of the barbarian "looking for death".
"I can't help myself!" Looking at the brute that was rushing over, the corners of Tai Shici's mouth couldn't help but have a touch of ridicule. Is it possible for this person to really think that the "god fighting" technique of Na Laoshzi can still be invulnerable when facing real knives and real guns. Maybe it's a bit too much for this brute to know the general situation, but he can be regarded as a man, and the fate of being dismembered by the soldiers behind him is indeed a bit too much. Tai Shici, who was "kind-hearted", sat on the horse and shook his head, and the giant bow hanging on the side of the horse, which was already held by the lowered arm, slowly raised it under the desperate gaze of the elder of Shanyue.
"General Taishi! You see! The arrow was already on the string, and it was about to be fired, but Tai Shici suddenly heard the soldiers around him whisper a drink, and as he looked at it, the arrow in his hand was pointing to the brute, intentionally or unintentionally, slightly upward, and after a sharp sound that tore through the air, the arrow came out of the string like a meteor.
"Sun! Pan? Ha, it's Sun Bofu's army that has arrived! Because of Tai Shici's arrows, he gradually regained his consciousness and brute force that was a little clear, and suddenly he was less than ten steps away from the Qingzhou soldier gun formation that seemed to be out of sight, and he forcibly stopped his pace, and just now with an indomitable momentum in his eyes, he couldn't help but have a touch of timidity at this moment. Seeing that the arrow in Tai Shici's hand did not pass through his chest as he feared in his heart, he looked back with doubts and surprises on his face.
I saw that just on the southern horizon in the distance, a banner of the Sun family, which was said to be the head of the new capital of his family that he had been in contact with for a long time, was rapidly surging towards his side with the same black pressure on a military momentum, and the fear in his heart just now was completely expelled from the brute chest that was vigilant and slowly retreating. This tight and loose atmosphere, the instant transformation of heaven and hell, is simply too exciting! Let the brute almost scream in comfort. Just as he was about to go back and "share" the joy of this desperate life with his own elders, he suddenly found that the elder, who was supposed to be equally happy, had a strange tight expression on his face, and it turned out to be a look of pain in shock, and there was no meaning of joy at all. Just as he hesitated, Mandu suddenly discovered why he felt that something was wrong with the elder, just at the elder's throat, the white object that was still trembling slightly, wasn't it the one that hit him before and wanted to slash horizontally at the barbarian king snakehead, but was shot crooked by Tai Shi Ci's arrow, that belonged to the tail of the arrow carved in Tai Shi Ci's quiver......
