Chapter 167 Crossing the river, danger is approaching
The soldiers of the three sides fought for nearly an hour, and Cao Jun was also beaten very lightly, and finally waited for the soldiers who spilled blood, and sprinkled the blood of those livestock all over the ground. Cao Hong was abused by Guan Yu and the others for nearly an hour, and it was not until he finally set fire to all the buildings that Cao Hong was carried away by his guards.
On the other side of the riverbank, under Yan Rou's anxious waiting, the shouting of killing finally stopped. The sky-high flames were also gradually extinguished because the buildings were burned down.
"You all saw that, right? See? I'll just say that these Han army princes can't be so united! Until the opposite side was really quiet, Yan Rou wandered on the edge of the ferry, suddenly turned his head, looked at Budugen and Kebineng, and said with a very excited expression.
"Brother Yan Rou is worthy of being the wise general of Wuheng, and he is like a god! Now that we have made a lot of sturdy bamboo rafts, send some people over to take a look, as long as we make sure that those Han troops are gone, as soon as the morning dawns, we will start to cross the river! Bu Dugen first slapped Yan Rou on the back, and then pointed to the bamboo rafts behind him that had been made overnight, and said.
Compared to Yan Rou and Bu Dugen's joy, Ke Bineng always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he could only watch silently.
Under the nervous gaze of Yan Rou and the others, several bamboo rafts docked safely at the ferry port on the other side.
Looking at the soldiers who were searching with torches on the opposite bank, Yan Rou felt that sweat was oozing from his palms, and he was afraid that some Han troops would suddenly jump out and kill those soldiers.
Time passed quietly in the nervous waiting of the three of them. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the hundreds of warriors on the opposite side walked out of a few people and got on a bamboo raft and rowed towards Yan Rou.
"Report to the three kings! It was determined that the Han army had left last night, and the camps and tents had been burned to ashes, and the ground was covered in blood, and there were many discarded armor. Before he had time to get away from the river, the warrior jumped down directly, fell down in the slimy yellow mud, looked at Yan Rou and the three of them who were anxiously waiting, and said.
"Good! Put all the rafts down, let the vanguard go first, and be careful! Hearing this warrior's return, Yan Rou couldn't help but be happy, first glanced at the sky that was about to brighten, and then ordered to the leaders of the small and medium-sized clans behind him.
Judging from the situation last night and the soldier's report, it must be a fact that the Han army killed each other. What Yan Rou has to do now is to hurry up and cross the river to prevent recurrence.
Hundreds of thousands of troops, with hundreds of thousands of horses and grain and grass across the river, what kind of scene will it be? I think that those who are lucky enough to see this scene, except for these barbarian armies themselves, there are definitely not many people in the world who can see them. But Zhang Yan saw it!
These barbarian armies didn't notice that after their last wave of people got on the bamboo raft, three people wearing tight black clothes and black masks jumped down from a big tree under the dense forest not far away, and these three people were Zhang Yan and the two small leaders of the shadow guards who were waiting for the barbarian army here.
Cao Ying could think that if the barbarian army wanted to cross the Yellow River, it would definitely cross the river at Jibei Ferry, how could Sun Ling, who had Guo Jia and others, not think of it?
And the reason why Zhang Yan is here is because of Sun Ling's instructions before leaving Jizhou, so he lurked here early, waiting for the arrival of the barbarian army.
"Head! The barbarian army has all crossed the river, do you want to inform the lord now? Seeing the last group of barbarian warriors, rowing those bamboo rafts and leaving the ferry, the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard Branch on Zhang Yan's left, holding a white dove in both hands, asked excitedly.
Why was the leader of this shadow guard branch so excited, Zhang Yan naturally knew that it was not because those barbarian armies had crossed the river, but because of the white dove in his hand.
At the beginning, Zhang Yan saw Sun Ling catch hundreds of white pigeons for himself, thinking that he wanted to reward the shadow guards and use them for wine. It wasn't until he was scolded by Sun Ling that he knew that these white pigeons could be used to transmit messages.
Knowing the usage of this kind of message, Zhang Yan was naturally overjoyed! With this speed of transmission, the intelligence capabilities of the Shadow Secret Guard have increased exponentially?
With this kind of sharp weapon, Zhang Yan can be sure that as long as it is in the territory of the Great Han, the branch point of the Shadow Secret Guard is deployed. Any information that Sun Ling wanted would be delivered within two days.
"What's the hurry! The lord is now in Licheng, and these barbarian armies have crossed the Yellow River, are you still afraid that they will not be able to fly? I think you're in a hurry to try your carrier pigeons, right? I warn you, this pigeon is not a casual one, the lord only gave me a certain number, if it is all gone, you can do it yourself! Thinking of this, Zhang Yan looked at the leader of the Shadow Secret Guard Branch behind him, and said angrily.
"Head! Don't worry, even if our Yanzhou branch loses itself, we will never lose this treasure! Hearing Zhang Yan's words, the branch leader looked at the white dove in the palm of his hand and swore that he would arrive.
Hearing this, Zhang Yan no longer dwelled on this issue, first looked at the opposite side of the river bank again, had all crossed the Yellow River, and was ready to attack the barbarian army, and then ordered: "Release the carrier pigeons!" This time, the lord would rather give up the three states and destroy these barbarians in Yanzhou, which shows how damned these barbarians are. After going back, let the people of the Yanzhou branch put aside the things at hand and keep an eye on these barbarian armies at any time. ”
Zhang Yan knew very well that these barbarian armies must die in Yanzhou. Because even when he wanted to pacify Qingzhou, he didn't see Sun Ling transfer all the Badao battalions that could be transferred like this time, which shows how determined Sun Ling was this time. Therefore, in order to cooperate with Sun Ling's action to destroy these barbarian armies, Yanzhou's shadow guards must not make mistakes.
The special letter prepared in advance was put into the white dove, and the two white doves crossed the Yellow River in the palms of the two Yanzhou branch leaders and flew towards the city where Sun Ling was located.
The reason why two white doves are released is also according to Sun Ling's requirements, important information, and double protection must be ensured. If you put only one of them, no one knows if there will be any accidents, and if someone shoots you down and drinks alcohol, it will be a big joke. Of course, that is very unlikely, because these pigeons are specially trained, and it is difficult for ordinary people to have the ability to shoot them.
After seeing the two carrier pigeons flying over the Yellow River until they disappeared into the sky, Zhang Yan nodded to the two branch leaders and ran into the dense forest, not knowing where to go.
Qingzhou Licheng, since Sun Ling's spies left, Sun Ling took more than 35,000 soldiers of the Badao Battalion to this big city that is closest to Yanzhou and Jibei Kingdom, waiting for the information from Yanzhou Shadow Guard.
Yan Rou thought that the spies he sent were well concealed, but in front of Sun Ling's shadow guards who were good at tracking and anti-tracking, that kind of basic concealment technique was simply a scum! Therefore, after the barbarian spies left, Sun Ling was able to rush to Licheng as soon as possible without being noticed by Yan Rou.
Early in the morning, Sun Ling was in the courtyard, practicing marksmanship, Dian Wei twisted two rolled up sealed paper rolls between his fingers, came to Sun Ling's side, and said, "Lord! Yanzhou Shadow Guard's Flying Pigeon Biography! ”
Hearing this, Sun Ling stopped the movement in his hand, handed the fine iron spear to Zhao Yun on the side, took the paper roll, and after confirming that it had not been opened, he opened the two paper rolls, and saw that the intelligence information in the paper roll was the same, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
After reading the contents inside, Sun Ling tore up the paper scroll, looked at Dian Wei and Zhao Yun and said: "It seems that the three people in Yanzhou are also in a hurry, and they can figure out this method, but this matter is really good!" Thinking of coming to Wuheng and the Xianbei coalition army, it is now impatient to capture Yanzhou. Go and tell them that the time has come, it's time to close the net! ”
Because the Shadow Secret Guard is encrypted with special characters for important information, this kind of content can only be understood by three people, one is Sun Ling, and the other two are Zhang Yan and Xu Lu, so although Dian Wei remembers that he is itching and wants to know what method Cao Ying used to trick those barbarian armies into crossing the river, he can only wait for Sun Ling to speak.
On the contrary, Zhao Yun, who was standing behind Sun Ling, had always behaved a little lightly! No matter what Sun Ling said, as long as he didn't ask him, or Sun Ling said it himself, Zhao Yun had a faint smile on his face. Therefore, Dian Wei always said that as long as Zhao Yun followed Sun Ling's side, he was a puppet who couldn't speak.
"Don't be so impetuous! In the future, learn more from Zilong, don't always think about relying on brute force! Now if you want Zilong to lead the army alone, I am relieved, but I am not worried about you! Time is a little urgent, you go first and let Fengxiao and them prepare, and I will tell you about this on the way. Looking at Dian Wei's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks, and then looking at Zhao Yun's calm appearance, this stark contrast made Sun Ling itch with hatred, resisted the urge to kick him, and said angrily.
Hearing this, Dian Wei's neck shrank slightly, stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Yun, and ran out of Sun Ling's sight as if he had fled, as if he was going to suffer if he stayed any longer.
It wasn't until the two of them left that Sun Ling shook his head, and then he sighed alone!
Zhao Yun himself is a handsome material, and he doesn't need to cultivate it himself, so he naturally becomes a qualified general of the sword battalion, and he doesn't need to worry about Sun Ling at all. The other generals of the sword battalion are the same, more or less have their own strengths.
Only Dian Wei tried his best to cultivate him, but every time he went out with the Badao Battalion, this thing was a typical stunned young man, he didn't look at any form, he lifted the double halberd, and took the soldiers of the Badao Battalion behind him, and stepped forward to do it! It's not that he's bad like this, but Sun Ling is worried that if he encounters a tough battle in the future, he will suffer a big loss.
"Little friend! Lao Dao speculated on cause and effect last night, and sensed that there were hundreds of people born in Liangzhou in the northwest to help the Xiang family, and this person is ruthless, and it seems that he wants to be unfavorable to the people around you, remember to be careful! Just as Sun Ling was worrying about Dian Wei's affairs, Sun Ling's ears suddenly heard this.
"Yu Ji?! Is that you? You say that people from a hundred families were born, which one of the hundred families was born? Is that guy powerful? Compared to Yue, he wants to be bad for the people around me, to whom?! "If other people say this, Sun Ling will definitely not believe it, but Yu Ji is different, Sun Ling believes that they have such ability, so he wants to ask him clearly.
In the courtyard, while Sun Ling was waiting, Yu Ji finally heard his voice again: "Little friend! That's all Lao Dao can tell you, those words just now have already leaked the heavenly secret, and if you continue to talk about it, the heavenly tribulation will not be something I can deal with. Not good, Thunder Tribulation! Zuo Ci Lao Dao, Mai Buyi, help me! Rumble..... ”
I waited for half a ring again, but I still couldn't hear Yu Ji's voice. Sun Ling rubbed his ears that were almost deaf by the roar of the last thunder, and stood alone in the courtyard and thought about it. Who is the Baijia? Want to hurt someone close to me? Who will it be targeted? And Xiang's, Xiang Longtu?! Isn't he entangled with Lu Bu in Bingzhou? Have this spare time to deal with yourself?
Thinking about it, thinking about it, Sun Ling seemed to think of something, and cold sweat kept breaking out on the top of his head, because he thought of who he would deal with if he was not good for the people around him.
He has no father or mother, only the relatives of those daughters, and Lu Zhi is his elder, but dealing with them is obviously not as good as Cai Yan's daughters and Xiao Sun Hao, as long as any of them are unfavorable, Sun Ling can hardly imagine what he will do.
"Lord, what's wrong with you?" With Guo Jia and the others coming, Zhao Yun keenly noticed Sun Ling's emotional changes, as well as the cold sweat on his head, and asked with concern.
"Zilong, don't go to the battle of Yanzhou this time, I want you to hurry back to Yangzhai City and tell Mrs. Zhang that Yan'er and Xiaohao will be in danger, go quickly!" Seeing Zhao Yun, Sun Ling seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and commanded in a hurried tone.
What the?! Will the mothers and young masters be in danger? Guo Jia and the others, who followed Zhao Yun in, heard the news, and the expressions on their faces changed instantly!
Guo Jia and others can't imagine what kind of situation would happen if Cai Yan and Xiao Sun Hao were hurt, with Sun Ling's attitude towards emotions. Since the incident in Gaomi City, that kind of result, they don't want to see it anymore, it's terrible!
"Don't worry! Yun will definitely live up to the trust of the lord, even if he gives up this life, he will protect the master mother and the young master to be safe and sound! Ignoring the horror in his heart, Zhao Yun solemnly saluted Sun Ling, then unfolded his body and rushed towards the door at full speed.
Seeing Zhao Yun leaving, Sun Ling calmed down the fear in his heart a little, and looked intently in the direction of Liangzhou in the northwest, trying in vain to hurt his family, Xiang Longtu, you are so bold!
Liangzhou, the clan residence of the Xiang clan. In the gloomy house, there was only a lamp that was about to be extinguished, and Xiang Long Tuxi sat on it, looking down at the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
"The killer who has already launched the hidden in Yang Zhai City should be done within the next day or two!" In the gloomy corner, a black-robed figure suddenly walked out, looking at Xiang Longtu above and said. Although the voice of the black-robed man was a little weird, if you listened closely, you could still hear that this person was a middle-aged man.
"Can you guarantee that Sun Ling won't find out that this is my Xiang clan's doing?" Hearing this voice, Xiang Longtu didn't raise his head, still looking at the table, as if there was something on it that could attract him.
"Humph! Guarantee? If you want to win the world, Sun Ling is the most powerful opponent of your Xiang clan, if you let him develop steadily, the princes of this world will have to be destroyed in his hands sooner or later! I will assist your Xiang clan in success, this is the best guarantee! Those killers are all people lurking in Yang Zhai City, if they really find out their identities, then it is the will of heaven! After saying these words with a tough attitude, the middle-aged black-robed man disappeared back into the shadows, without a trace!
"In that case, let's do it! You must do it cleanly, and if you want to hurt, you have to make him feel painful! Above, Xiang Longtu suddenly raised his head, looked at the dark place where the middle-aged black-robed man disappeared, and said softly.
"Humph! You can rest assured that our killer has never missed a shot since the founding of Great Qin! Just wait and see! There was no further figure, and after the middle-aged black-robed man let out a cold snort, there was no movement.
"Don't blame me! No one wants to confront such a powerful enemy as you! Standing up, Xiang Longtu first muttered to himself. Then he left his seat and walked to the screen at the back, and the only light left in the dark room was instantly extinguished.
