Chapter 96: Scouts Listen to Xiangyang, People's Hearts Are in Turmoil, Guan Xing is Lost
Shen Tuqiang deserves to call himself a ranger in the North, and he is also clear about the layout in Xiangyang City, and even Huo Yi and his party of more than a dozen merchants, and the resting place where they are stationed are also found by Shen Tuqiang. But it is a shady courtyard, in this early summer, to be able to get such a place, but it is rare to be tight.
As soon as Huo Yi entered Xiangyang City, he separated from the large group of merchants, after all, his purpose was different from theirs, and being with them was just a pretense for entering and leaving Xiangyang City. Moreover, under the crowd of people, the exposed may have a higher surname, and there are also many people from the Northland in this business. The so-called righteous businessmen, these businessmen who go south and north have excellent eyesight, and they don't know when, their gang of people will show their feet, and the businessmen will make heavy profits and sell their party to the government, but the gains outweigh the losses.
The people brought out by Huo Yi, except for Guan Xing and Zhao Tong, most of them were Dongzhou scholars under Wang Chong, and they were also among the hundreds of elite people that Huo Yi led out of Nanjun, including Ye Jiong, Shen Tuqiang, and himself, a total of fifteen people, and three of them were Tianshui people, who were Huo Yi's guide when he was going to Tianshui to find Jiang Wei.
Xiangyang City obviously does not need the strict organization of Fancheng, and the heart of war preparedness is far inferior to Fancheng. These sergeants under Huo Yi's hands have all been trained by Huo Yi's system, and the ability of scouts is also in their bodies, only in Xiangyang for five days, under the guise of selling wine, they spied on the enemy's situation, and investigated the situation of Xiangyang up and down to prevent the truth and reality.
Huo Yi listened to the soldiers on his side and his own things, and drew a sketch of Xiangyang Guanfang with his own hands, Guan Xingsheng's surname jumped out, and he seemed to be a little interested in anything.
Zhao Tong always stood aside and meditated on every word Huo Yi said, which seemed to be engraved in his heart like a golden rule. Since he was a child, Huo Yi practiced guns under his father, that is, since the unification with Zhao, Zhao Tong was slightly younger than Huo Yi, so he only regarded Huo Yi as his brother, and Huo Yi was calm when he was young, proficient in the art of war, and he was even more new in marksmanship, full of comprehension. In Zhao Tong's mind, Huo Yi is really the target he will always chase after. Yes, he learned Huo Yi's calmness earlier, and over time, Zhao Tong became a calm surname.
The situation in Xiangyang City has also been searched for most of it, and Huo Yi knows that it is time for him to leave. At this time, something big happened, and in the afternoon, Huo Yi had just ordered everyone to pack up and continue to travel north, but he heard Ye Zhi's voice from far and near, rushing over.
Huo Yi frowned, Ye Zhi was not a Meng Lang person, and if his group had a slight mistake in Xiangyang, it would be a catastrophe, why was Ye Zhi so flustered.
When Ye Zhi entered the door, he knelt on the ground: "General, the humble general is incompetent!" General Guan Xiao, you have fallen into the hands of the enemy! ”
Huo Yi was shocked when he heard this, like a thunderbolt hitting his head: "What? ”
Ye Ji said again, and Huo Yi said coldly: "Why is this so? It's not the first time that you, Ye Jiong, have had such a mission, how could you let General Guan Xiao fall into the hands of the enemy! ”
Ye Zhi's face was discouraged, he knew that Guan Xing was Huo Yi's brother-in-law, and he was extremely appreciated by Huo Yi, and he would stay by his side every time he went out. Ye Bing had no choice but to tell the truth about the matter.
It turned out that Guan Xing and Ye Zhi were going out to sell wine, Guan Xing was going to send the wine to a big family in Xiangyang, and Ye Xing was going to a place to explore the truth according to the custom. But for some reason, Guan Xing seemed to have a conflict with the house slave of this big family, Ye Bing finished the matter, but found that Guan Xing seemed to be captured by this slave and captured in the mansion. There is no other reason, this Guan Xing has been in Kuai Mansion for more than half a year, and has never gone out.
Ye Bing wanted to deal with this big family, but he was alert that something was wrong, and he didn't dare to share the reasoning with the family, so he hurriedly rushed back to the courtyard and informed Huo Yi.
Huo Yi looked at Ye Jiong: "Youming, you didn't go to deal with that family, but came back to see me directly, you must have already made a judgment in your heart, what do you think?" ”
"General, General Bei thinks that this family seems to know the identity of General Guan Xiao. I thought the family had been captured! Ye Zhi said.
"Oh! How to say. ”
"When we first arrived here, we were always in secrecy, that is, we went out separately, and one went to sell wine, and the other went our own way. The last general and General Guan Xiao went back to the family and ordered the business of ten jars of wine, and the heroine of the family seemed to have been looking at the little general, and the last general was thinking about spying on the military situation, and he was not suspicious, but now that he thinks about it, it is really suspicious! Ye Zhi said.
Huo Yi got up and paced back and forth, Guan Xing fell here, it was really unexpected, thinking that Guan Xing is the son of his father-in-law Guan Yu is something that many people know, and even, there is no shortage of people who have seen it, why is this family so familiar with Guan Xing?
Huo Yi turned his head: "What is the surname of this family?" ”
Ye Jiong said: "Kuai! ”
Huo Yi was shocked when he heard this, and said strangely, thinking that it must be this Kuai family, when Guan Yu followed the lord to station in Xinye, he saw Guan Xing, so he thought that he would do this.
"Youming, transfer all the manpower from all over the place, and send five or six brothers to investigate around the Kuai family to see if there are any signs of sending the righteous brother out." Huo Yi said coldly, but he couldn't help but feel that he was not anxious, the matter had been decided here, and he was going to go north to Wancheng, but he never thought that Guan Xing would actually fall here, which was really annoying and uneasy.
"Whoa!" Ye Zhi hurriedly went down to dispatch.
Huo Yi's unexplained chill stirred in his back, and the Kuai family himself naturally knew that there were three English, Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, and Kuai Qi were all dragons among people.
But what Huo Yi didn't know was that Kuaiqi's wife was Zhuge Liang's sister Zhuge Ying, and Guan Xing was invited into the mansion by Zhuge Ying.
In fact, when the lord garrisoned Xinye, he invited Wolong out of the mountain, and Zhuge Ying often went to Xinye to feast and drink with Zhuge Liang, back and forth, and even a cadre of generals under Liu Bei, they were also familiar with each other. Guan Xing was young, and he often spread joy at banquets, so he won Zhuge Ying's favor and often put Guan Xing'an at his table.
Huo Yi was in a hurry here, but Guan Xing didn't know it at all, and he was happy to meet the deceased. He stayed in Kuaifu and drank with Zhuge Ying.
Zhuge Ying is no longer confused, but he has not given birth to a son, and he often hugged Guan Xing in the past, but it was also because of the pain of having no children under his knees. I haven't seen it for a long time, but now I see that it is a close general Chengren, Zhuge Ying is a woman, I am afraid that Guan Xing is young and ignorant and has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so I invited Guan Xing into the house with kindness and set up a banquet to entertain her.
It was getting late, Huo Yi's men and horses had already assembled, and they heard that Guan Xing seemed to be still in the mansion, but Huo Yi was planning to sneak into the mansion and rescue Guan Xing. Otherwise, how can I meet my father-in-law who trusts and values me?
