Chapter 42: Rescue

"My sister and I went to Huainan to buy grain, and on the way we met a group of soldiers who wanted to rob our goods and sacrifice me and my sister to their Royal Highness the Crown Prince. There were few guards in our caravan, so we could only escort me out, and my things were robbed, and my sister was also captured by them! Zhen Mi said while crying.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Zhao Feng was stunned for a moment, and then understood that it should be Yuan Shu, the precious son of Emperor Zhong. "And where were you robbed?" Zhao Feng asked again, if it was in Yuan Shu's jurisdiction, then he couldn't help it.

"Just a few dozen miles south of Guangling City, General Zhao, please save my sister! They can't go fast with the van! Zhen Mi knelt down and begged bitterly when she said this, this time without waiting for Zhao Feng to help her, Guan Ping on the side had already "slipped away" and ran forward to help Zhen Mi. "General, this thief of the Yuan family robbed the people's daughter, how can we sit idly by? The last general is willing to lead a group of men and horses to save people! Guan Ping asked Zhao Feng for help, but his hands were still holding Zhen Mi's wrist.

"I despise you little pervert for Second Master Guan!" Zhao Feng saw that Guan Ping was so forgetful, and even took the opportunity to eat tofu, and he was immediately very dissatisfied in his heart. But now Zhao Feng is also very embarrassed, if he sends troops to rescue her, it will be troublesome if he encounters Yuan Shu's brigade; If you don't save it, not to mention that you can't bear to look at the little Lori in front of you, it's not good to spread this matter in the future and say that you won't save it when you die.

"I really want to make money and want to go crazy, I still came to Huainan to buy grain in this chaos!" Zhao Feng was also extremely dissatisfied with Zhen Jiang's trouble, Zhen Mi lowered his head when he heard this, and said: "I also advised my sister not to go, but my sister said that there is an urgent need for food in Yanzhou now, and if you can buy it, you can make a lot of money, so she took the risk of going to Huainan." ”

"How many people have captured your sister?" Zhao Feng thought about it, and decided to at least send troops to take a look, if he could save it, he would do it, and if he couldn't, he would do his best.

When Zhen Mi heard this, she immediately felt that there was a door. Hurriedly said: "There are about a hundred of them, and our caravan has seventy guards, and they are only a little more than us, but almost half of them are cavalry. ”

"It's okay!" Zhao Feng suddenly counted in his heart, a hundred or so people, ordinary cavalry, this should be Yuan Shu's patrol force. Although since the surrender of Ji Ling, Guangling's side is relatively peaceful, but Zhao Feng knows that Yuan Shu's emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and there are still 150,000 horses under Guangshouchun, so Zhao Feng is almost always closed to the city, and even the sentry cavalry is very few.

"Wenyuan, how many cavalry do we have in Guangling?" Zhao Feng estimated that if he wanted to save people, it was too late to rely on the infantry, so he could only rely on the cavalry to rush to the rescue.

"There are more than a thousand, General Zhao, do you really want to save people?" Zhang Liao was a little difficult to understand Zhao Feng's decision, in his opinion, the other party was just an ordinary rich woman, and it was not worth a general like Zhao Feng to risk for her, after all, it was Yuan Shu's territory not far away!

"It's okay, order five hundred light horses, follow me to save people!" Zhao Feng waved his hand and ordered, he knew what Zhang Liao meant, but after thinking about it, if he could take the opportunity to marry the Zhen family, it would be much more convenient to think of Hebei to engage in war horses in the future.

"No!" Zhang Liao immediately went to give the order, there was a shortage of horses in the south, and he also knew that most of Yuan Shu's army was infantry. With Zhao Feng's skills and five hundred light horsemen, even if he encounters a large Huainan army, it is always possible to run away.

The five hundred light horsemen were already assembled in a short time, "General Zhao, I'll go too, I'll show you the way!" Zhen Mi hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"No need, we will chase in the direction of Shouchun. Guan Ping, give me a good look at Miss Zhen, understand? Zhao Feng finally ordered, and Guan Ping, who was originally eager to try, immediately nodded when he heard this, and agreed again and again.

"Let's go!" Zhao Feng gave an order, and five hundred light cavalry followed him and galloped out of the city and rushed in the direction of Shouchun. On the way, Zhao Feng carefully recalled the woman in the jewelry store in Pengcheng County, she was very calm and generous at that time, and even reminded Zhao Feng of those professional female surnames in his previous life. Although Zhao Feng was not very interested in her, he had to admit that she was really attractive at that time.

"I wonder what kind of embarrassment she looks like now?" Zhao Feng thought a little spoofed, but in case such a beautiful woman called Yuan Shu's baby son was ruined, it would be suffocating. What Zhao Feng didn't know was that if it weren't for his butterfly effect, Zhen Jiang would really be unable to escape this catastrophe.

"General, we found a team of people and horses ten miles ahead, and a large number of trucks were still in charge, it should be the person we are looking for!" At this time, a scout sent out came back to report. "Very well, speed up the march!" Zhao Feng was also convinced: Yuan Shu's people were carrying goods and people, and the marching speed should not be too fast, so he finally asked himself to catch up before entering the Shouchun realm.

The distance of ten miles only took a short time for the cavalry to run, and it didn't take long for Zhao Feng to see that long procession, including cavalry, infantry and carriages. The other party also discovered Zhao Feng and their cavalry one after another, and they suddenly became confused when there were not many of them!

"Don't let one go!" Zhao Feng roared as he speared into the opponent's formation, and the tip of the spear picked out a cavalryman who came to try to stop him and was stabbed in the chest by him, and the whole person was taken off the horse, and finally fell to the ground with Zhao Feng's shake.

"Junk gear!" Zhao Feng still had time to despise the other party's equipment in his busy schedule. Shicai actually held an infantryman's ring-headed knife to compete with him, but he didn't know that in the horse battle, one inch long and one inch strong, except for Liu Bei, who used short weapons, I really hadn't heard of anyone.

"It seems that Yuan Shu's cavalry is just a showman!" Zhao Feng came to such a conclusion while solving a few small miscellaneous fish that did not have long eyes. These dozens of cavalry equipment and horsemanship are not very good, and their combat effectiveness is even more pitiful, so it is estimated that they will be able to bully the caravan guards. At this time, the rest of the Xuzhou cavalry also strictly implemented Zhao Feng's orders, chasing and destroying the remnants of the enemy in all directions. Everyone knows that this place is not far from Shouchun, and if someone escapes back to report the news, it will be troublesome.

Seeing that the enemy army had been completely annihilated, Zhao Feng ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible, and at the same time went to various carriages to look for Zhen Jiang. I don't know what kind of psychology it is, in short, now he wants to see Zhen Jiang's embarrassed and helpless appearance, because of this, he didn't let his subordinates look for it together, but searched from the carriage by himself. Anyway, there are less than ten carriages in total, and they should be able to be searched before the battlefield is cleaned.

Sure enough, when the fourth carriage was searched, Zhao Feng found the goal of his trip. "Miss Zhen, you're frightened!" Zhao Feng smiled and said to Zhen Jiang, who was tied up and had a handkerchief in his mouth. The latter had obviously cried, with a pair of apricot eyes red and swollen and tear stains on his face. However, the clothes are still intact and do not look insulted. Seeing that it was Zhao Feng who lifted the curtain of the carriage, Zhen Jiang suddenly became excited, kept twisting his body, and made a "woo" cry for help in his mouth.

Thinking about it, these miscellaneous soldiers want to dedicate her to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they shouldn't dare to touch her. Turning over and dismounting, Zhao Feng jumped into the carriage and came to Zhen Jiang, and took out the handkerchief from her mouth first. "Thank you, General Zhao, for saving me!" Zhen Jiang was able to speak, and quickly thanked.

"Thank you for all your efforts!" Zhao Feng waved his hand, and then reluctantly pulled out a short knife to cut the rope that bound her. The reason why I am reluctant to give up is purely because when Shicai, a big beauty, is tied up, her concave and graceful figure is undoubtedly revealed, and this loosening will not be a blessing.

"Thank you, General Zhao!" Zhen Jiang, who had removed the restraints, hurriedly thanked her as a courtesy, not wanting to be tied up for a long time, her hands and feet were very numb, and her left foot was already unable to support her as soon as she stood up, and the whole person involuntarily fell down again.

"Why should the girl be polite!" Zhao Feng hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Zhen Jiang couldn't stand firm for a while, so he had to lean on his arm. Rao is that she has been handling the family business all these years, and she is always shrewd and capable in front of people, and now she is so dependent on a young man, she can't help but blush, and her breath is short. Finally waited until his feet had regained consciousness and he was about to stand up straight, Zhen Jiang secretly looked up at Zhao Feng, but saw that Zhao Feng had been looking at him with a smile, and his face blushed even more this time.

"Uh, this, Miss Zhen, this place is too close to Yuan Shu's Shouchun, let's leave quickly!" Zhao Feng didn't want to continue to be embarrassed, so he quickly diverted the topic.

"By the general's orders alone!" Zhen Jiang also came to his senses and replied with a red face. So Zhao Feng turned over and got on the horse, and without waiting for Zhen Jiang to object, he picked her up and put her in front of him, and the two rode together to Guangling. As for the rest of the surviving coachmen and others of the Zhen family's caravan, Zhao Feng temporarily lent them the dozens of horses captured by Yuan Shujun to ride, and waited until he returned to Guangling first.

Galloping all the way, Zhao Feng felt that it didn't take long to return to Guangling. On the way, although Zhen Jiang couldn't see her face when she sat in front of her, her ears were always red. In this way, the two of them rode together and returned to Guangling in a bit of a daze, but they all felt a little reluctant.

"Sister!" Zhen Mi, who was chatting with Guan Ping, saw Zhen Jiang coming back, but she was so happy that she stepped forward and hugged her, crying and coquettish. She didn't care too much about the Zhen family's caravan, but if this sister, who had eaten her to death since she was a child, lost it like this, then she really didn't know what to do.

At this time, Zhen Jiang regained his always capable image in front of his sister, and pressed his sister's head to comfort him for a while. Then Xiao Lori solemnly thanked Zhao Feng, and that serious appearance made Zhao Feng a little touched by the friendship between the two sisters.

Guangling was too close to the front line, and Zhao Feng was not worried about letting the two sisters wait too long here, so after discussing with Zhen Jiang, he decided to send someone to send them back to the Zhen family's shop in Pengcheng first. Before leaving, Guan Ping was reluctant, but Zhao Feng also felt a little melancholy about Zhen Jiang's departure. "Damn, am I tempted by this woman? It's a big game! Zhao Feng shook his head attentively, threw away these messy thoughts, and forced himself to devote his energy to the city defense work of Guangling County.

The matter of the Zhen sisters was just a small episode this winter, and other news came one after another at this time. Ji Ling's 120,000 troops have been almost completely reorganized, of which 20,000 have been eliminated as Tuntian soldiers, and the remaining 100,000 have begun regular training under the auspices of Zhao Yun. Originally, Zhang Fei or Chen Zhi or even Zhao Feng could still help him a little, but the three of them now have their own responsibilities and have no time to separate. As for Cao Ying, he has always been very stable, just raising food and recruiting troops everywhere, and at the same time, he also followed Liu Beijun's example and began to Tuntian. Zhao Feng was not surprised by this, after all, Lao Cao's previous toss was too hurtful, and now it was the middle of winter, and he had no strength to go crazy.

In this way, in a quiet and somewhat eerie atmosphere, the princes of all walks of life spent the winter of 198. However, Zhao Feng knew that there would be a big move at the beginning of spring.
