Chapter 10: Wayfinding
"Whew~"
On the high side of the Yellow River, Guan Suo looked at the fire on the opposite side, and people shouted and neighed, and his heart palpitated. On the somewhat dim river, a group of two warships came head-on, and when they saw the people on board clearly, Guan Suo's heart was put down.
"Finally...... It's safe, albeit only temporarily. ”
Fortunately, it was a success.
Fortunately, although the Fenglingdu defenders were elite, they had little experience in war for several years, and they had already slackened, and they were a few beats slower to react in the face of an enemy who seemed to have fallen from the sky and did not know the exact number.
Fortunately, a fire burned the wind and crossed the river even more chaotically.
During the day, a huge stone ball buried more than 400 defenders of Feng Lingdu, Guan Suo and Li Yan followed behind the big stone ball to cover up, except for a few who surrendered, the rest were wiped out, and even the dozens of soldiers left by Cai Yi who made fires and couldn't wait to prepare for the celebration banquet were not spared.
Cai Yi actually survived.
It's just that he was hit half dead by a big stone ball, and was pulled aside by Wang Dahu, who was quick-handed, and was saved, and then ......
Both men became captives.
In order to deter the enemy army and further disintegrate the morale of the enemy army, Guan Suo beheaded Cai Yi with a knife, and a soldier picked up the head with a gun and swaggered.
"Major General, fortunately, I am not dishonored, and the old lady is well." Li Yan stepped ashore in one step, walked quickly to Guan Suo's side, and bowed down to give orders.
Guan Suo personally led people to defraud the city, while Li Yan took the rest of the people to protect Guan Suo's family, bypassed Feng Lingdu, and waited for the warship of Guan Suo's faction from another position to be taken over to the other side.
Guan Suo nodded, hurriedly took a few steps to meet him, and took down his mother Hu and Suo from the warship led by him, "Mother, father-in-law, stepmother...... Suo'er is not filial, and you are frightened along the way. ”
"Don't get in the way, my mother is used to it."
The Suo couple were shocked, and although Hu was a weak woman, she seemed very calm at the moment.
Guan Suo thought about it, and he was relieved.
Back then, my mother Hu followed my father Guan Yu and followed the fleeing king Liu Bei to walk through the south and the north, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen, and tens of thousands of people are often killed, and it is several times more dangerous than these days, and it has long been commonplace, and these days are just pediatrics.
After placing the three old men to rest, Guan Suo was free and summoned Li Yan and several generals to come over to discuss what to do next.
"All the way to Hedong, the young general can be said to have played a majestic style, passing three levels and killing eight generals, no less than the prince of the year, but the major general is famous for the Cao army this time." Li Yan straightened out the men, arranged for people to patrol the night, and strictly monitored the movements of the enemy troops on the other side, and finally came to the makeshift tent, and as soon as he entered, he said loudly.
Guan Suo was disdainful and said: "Sun Ping, Meng Qiang, Yu Li and other goods are also worthy of being called generals?" ”
"Haha, even so, the world will only pass on like this."
"If you don't go to Jingshu, everything is just an empty name...... The bigger the name, the more disaster will be, don't do it. Guan Suo was very calm, smiled faintly, very disdainful, saw Li Yan sitting still, and said in a condensed voice: "Now I have escaped from Hedong, but the road ahead is long, and I have delayed in Fenglingdu for two days. Second, go to Wuguan, go out of Shangyong, go to Badong, go down the river, and you can go directly to Nanjun. Tell me, which way should I go? ”
Li Yan got up and said: "Wancheng, Fancheng, and Xiangyang are places of war, the confrontation has been a long time, the investigation must be strict, there are countless large armies, and there are several generals, headed by Cao Ren, if the young general wants to live in peace, it is not easy to not alarm the Cao army." In the event of a battle, with less than 200 of us, I am afraid that it will ......."
"If you go to Wuguan, you will be ...... Although Wuguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the last general heard that the guard general Xun Yi is the son of Xun Yu, and he complained about his father's death, and this person has a bad character and is greedy by nature...... If the young general can handle it well, Xun Yi may directly let the young general pass the test. Shangyong is too guarded by Dou Hong, and the incompetent people only need to bypass, as long as they get to Padang, the young general will not worry. ”
Guan Suoqi said: "Oh? Why is that? ”
Li Yandao: "The young general doesn't know, and he has the heart to leave Xie Liang and go to General Xu, so there are many investigations about the war in Hanzhong, although I can't say everything, but it is generally clear." In the early spring of this year, Cao Cao marched south, attacked the mouth of the Xukou, and fought against Sun Quan in Jiangdong, at the same time, the main force of the Cao army withdrew from Hanzhong, and Liu Yizhou took the opportunity to attack Hanzhong, a month ago, Badong had fallen into the hands of the Shu army. Therefore, as long as the major general arrives in Padang, as a major general, it is not like arriving at home? ”
"What do you mean......?" Is it to go to the martial arts? ”
"Go to Wuguan!"
Li Yan affirmed: "Through Hedong and his line, the young general will enter the eye of the Cao thief, and the last general will definitely order the young general to cut off the road along the way...... However, Xun Yi has a lot of complaints about it, even if he gets the order, he is afraid that he will disobey the yin and yang, if the operation is better, he will even let the young general pass the pass without a trace, as long as he passes the martial arts, everything is easy! ”
"In this way, go to Wuguan!"
"If according to the will of the last general, the major general should still disguise, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be like Hedong, and it will be difficult to move an inch."
"This is a great good, it is better to pretend to be a business traveler."
Guan Suo nodded, he was very glad that he left Li Yan at that time, compared to it, his experience was really insufficient, although he had knowledge nearly two thousand years ahead, but in the final analysis, his understanding of this world was still not as good as Li Yan.
I haven't fully integrated into this era.
"That's it, rest for one night, and hurry up early tomorrow morning, while Cao Jun hasn't reacted yet...... I hope Cao Jun's reaction will be slower than expected......"
……
Following.
According to the discussion, Guan Suo and his entourage all took off their clothes and armor, hid swords and soldiers, and brought money and property from the young men of the two villages into Michi City, bought dozens of horses scattered, and went to one place with the accompanying war horses, gathered a hundred, pretended to be a horse dealer from Hedong, and forged customs clearance documents (Guan Suo had studied this, but he was not fine, but the seal carved with radish could almost be fake, and Li Yan was stunned for a while), and looked south.
Along the way, if you can not enter the city, you will not enter the city, and you will pass through Michi and Caoyang, and nothing will happen to you.
this day.
"Major General, there is not enough food and grass, you need to go into the city to buy some." While the team was walking, Li Yan chased after him from behind and came to the front of Guan Suo with a solemn face.
"Oh? Not so soon? ”
"The grain and grass brought from Hedong is only enough to sustain the people of the two villages, and if you count the people brought by the general, the grain and grass are slightly insufficient, but if you save some money, it is still enough to maintain the use of Badong, but there are so many more horses......
In addition to eating forage, war horses were also given grain.
Some of the better horses eat grains that are even better than others.
If not, you'll lose weight.
Of course, he understands these passes, and his mounts are fed by his hands every day, and of course he knows what to eat.
It's still inexperienced!
With a wry smile, Guan Suo could only face the reality and asked Li Yan, "How many days can it last?" ”
"It's only enough for one day."
"Imminent......" Rubbing his eyebrows, Guan Suo had a little headache, there were less than two hundred people, and a hundred war horses would make him feel a headache......
Guan Suo couldn't help but feel a spirit, and hurriedly drove these out of his mind, and said, "Where are you now?" Is there a city nearby for supplies? ”
OK.
Fortunately, there is support from outside the ropers, otherwise there is no money to buy supplies if you want to, and you can't say it, Guan Suo can only rob the troops.
"To the southwest, about six or seven miles, is Jiaxian, and further on, about a day's road, is Hongnong City......" Li Yan seemed to know this area very well, and briefly talked about the situation of several nearby cities, and finally said: "Young General, look, which city are we going to?" ”
"Let's go to Jiaxian."
Guan Suo pondered for a long time, and said: "Our remaining grain and grass are only enough to reach Jiaxian and Hongnong, but Hongnong is a county governor, and it is impossible to say that Cao Cao's order has reached there, and there are many soldiers in the city...... Jiaxian is good, I heard you say that there are only 300 county soldiers, if something really happens, it will not be difficult to kill it...... It's Jiaxian! ”
"The order went down, and fifty people were sent to protect their families and horses, and the others went into the city in batches to buy grain and grass...... After that, gather five miles outside the city. ”
"Whoa!"
