Volume 5 The World Collapses Chapter 443 Take precautions
Liu Xiu raised his head and glanced at the air, but he didn't see anything, he thought about it and shouted: "Ling Ming, did you hear anything just now?" ”
Pang De was engrossed in controlling the mount, the mountain road here was narrow and dangerous, he had to deal with it carefully, and when he heard Liu Xiu's question, he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, what did you hear?" ”
"I seem to have heard the call of an eagle just now. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Xiu glanced at the sky again, the autumn sky was blue and blue, there was not even a single cloud, where was there any swallow eagle. He shook his head helplessly, feeling that he might have been away from Liangzhou for too long, and he was locked up in a courtyard in Luoyang.
"Blue Maiden, is there anyone hunting with a falcon here?"
Lan Lan shook her head: "No, there are dogs and leopards for hunting, but I haven't seen eagles for hunting, but further north, near the place where the Wuhuan people live, it seems that there are eagles." ”
"That's weird." Liu Xiu laughed self-deprecatingly and didn't think about it anymore. Taihang Mountain runs through the north and south, the vegetation is luxuriant, until later generations is still the habitat of many wild animals, there are many large beasts, hunting is a very normal thing, Hebei and Shanxi have people training hunting dogs into the mountains to hunt, more fierce is to train cheetahs, this kind of cheetah is actually the money leopard, it is very common in the Taihang Mountains, until the 21st century is still common. Hunting in such shady places is indeed inferior to hounds and cheetahs.
From Hukou Pass to the east, walked less than 30 miles, went north to cross the turbid Zhangshui, then entered Shimen Mountain, and then traveled about 100 miles, it is considered to have crossed the peak of Taihang Mountain, arrived at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, and then traveled dozens of miles to Shexian County. Shexian County is already the boundary of Jizhou, but now that the Yellow Turban is entrenched in Montenegro, Yuan Shao can't control it at all.
Although Liu Xiu and the others all have good riding skills, the war horses are all first-class Liangzhou good horses. The mountain road was also very smooth, but after all, they could not run peacefully and galloping, and they drove for most of the day until the moon rose to the east mountain. It has just crossed the turbid water and entered the range of Shimen Mountain. Although Liu Xiu was in a hurry, it was too late, and he was afraid of danger, so he ordered a temporary rest.
Xu Yu rushed over with ten tiger soldiers, and while he was setting up camp for the tiger soldiers, he pulled Liu Xiu aside. "General. I have a bad feeling. ”
Liu Xiu's heart moved, "What do you feel?" ”
"A feeling of being spied on in the dark." Xu Yu groaned: "And it's ill-intentioned. ”
"You suspect we've been embellished?"
Xu Yu nodded, when it came to this, it was enough for him. Liu Xiu thought for a while: "Okay, you pay attention, it's not a bad thing to be careful." ”
"Whoa." Xu Yu answered and turned around. Liu Xiu stood on the side of the road, looking at the forest that was as quiet as ink in the moonlight. After thinking for a while, Xu Yu's reminder reminded him of the falcon's voice again, but he couldn't figure out why there was a falcon here. And who wants to be against him. The people of Liangzhou like to play falcons, but the only people in Liangzhou he know are the kingdom in this area, as far as he knows, when the kingdom came to Jizhou to join Zhangjiao, he didn't bring any falcons at all, and according to Bian Zhang and Han Sui, the kingdom is a scholar and doesn't play eagles at all.
What kind of man's eagle is that? Wuhuan people? Liu Xiu suddenly remembered what Lan Lan had said, and hurriedly called Lan Lan over.
"When you were fighting with Yuan Shao, did you ever see the Wuhuan people?" Liu Xiu thought for a moment. He added: "Or the Huns, the Xianbei or something, especially the falcons." ”
Lan Lan was a little dazed, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still shook her head embarrassedly: "I haven't paid attention, after the earthquake envoy was injured, the army was in chaos." Our minds were all on the life and death of the earthquake envoy, and we didn't notice whether Yuan Shao's subordinates had Wuhuan people at all. But ......" Lan Lan suddenly remembered something: "Their cavalry seems to be more powerful." ”
Liu Xiu's brows tightened, could it be that Yuan Shao and Wuhuan people had a deal? The Wuhuan people brought falcons to scout them and find out the news of the Yellow Turban Army? He also thought about whether it would be aimed at him, but he came from Luoyang very secretly, and the possibility of Yuan Shao getting the news was too small, and in comparison, Yuan Shao was more likely to use these falcons against the Yellow Turban Army.
Of course, the possibility of those scouts discovering him by the way is not small, although the other party may not know his identity, but seeing so many people and so many good war horses, it is not unusual for the other party to guess his identity.
"What's wrong?" Lan Lan couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw Liu Xiushen solemn.
"It's nothing, we may have collided with Yuan Shao's scouts." Liu Xiu leaned against the stone wall and touched his chin.
Lan Lan's face changed, if what Liu Xiu said was the truth, then the Yellow Turban Army would be too dangerous. Although the scouts can only inquire about the news and cannot do any major damage, once Yuan Shao knows the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army and kills it with the main force, it is entirely possible for Zhang Ming to be injured and the Yellow Turban Army is leaderless.
She hated these scouts very much, but Taihang Mountain was so big, it was impossible to find those scouts.
After cleaning up, the tiger warriors brought water and set up a fire, Pang De and Yan Xing were busy and took care of everything properly, and Liu Xiu was very satisfied. Although Feng Xue used to march with Liu Xiu often, he rarely had such an opportunity to get close after he got married. Listening to the low roar of the tiger and leopard sent by the mountain wind, listening to the clear sound of the mountain stream, Feng Xue was a little excited, and chattered with Mrs. Lu and Lan Lan for a while, then yawned, leaned on Liu Xiu's side and said, "Husband, it's so good." ”
"What's so good?" Liu Xiu cut a small piece of meat from the oily sheep roasted on the fire, and brought it to Feng Xue's mouth with his hand, Feng Xue shook his head: "You eat, I was full just now." ”
"On a diet again?" Liu Xiu smiled, not reluctantly, chewing the meat slowly, fiddling with the short knife in his hand.
Feng Xue embarrassedly buried her head in Liu Xiu's arms, she was able to recover her figure so quickly, on the one hand, it was also her luck, and on the other hand, it had something to do with her diet. It's not easy to eat enough on the grassland, how can you shake off your cheeks and eat like General Wei's mansion. If it weren't for Wang Chu and the queen's postpartum fortune first, Fengxue would not have thought of dieting.
"By the way, if this matter is dealt with, I plan to accompany you to the grassland."
"Really?" Feng Xue suddenly got up, raised his head, his blue eyes sparkled, and then dimmed: "You are so busy, how can you go away." ”
Liu Xiu laughed silently, and under the reflection of the firelight, his smile looked a little yinsen. He's not just talking, he's having his considerations. The Son of Heaven is seriously ill, and it seems that it has not been a few days, but the precautions against him are still the same. This time, he was forced to reactivate him, and once the matter was dealt with, the Son of Heaven might have to hide him again. He had had enough of this kind of endless defense, knowing that as long as he was in front of the Son of Heaven for a day, the Son of Heaven would not really rest assured of him, rather than this, it was better to run farther away so that the Son of Heaven could not see him. There is Jia Xu in Bingzhou, and Yan Zhong in Liangzhou, as long as these two ghosts are there, if the Son of Heaven wants to intervene in Bingzhou and Liangzhou, it is simply impossible, unless he wants to come hard.
In addition to letting the Son of Heaven no longer be wary of him, he also has to go to the grassland, after the death of the Son of Heaven, the chaos in the world is a foregone conclusion, and the strength of Bingzhou and Liangzhou is the weakest, he can't enter the battle at once, he can only watch first, watch Cao cāo block left and right, and the Yuan family brothers, at this time if he is in Luoyang, he can't help but help, but he runs far away, Cao Cāo or Xiao Tianzi, want him to make a big effort, but he can't find anyone.
War is fought with strength, and although his current strength cannot be said to be the weakest, it is definitely not strong enough, he has a large number of war horses in his hands, but he lacks enough food and household registration, the war of attrition is a fatal quagmire for him, once he steps into it, he will definitely die. He can only strike with all his strength at the right time, quickly defeat his opponent with a devastating momentum, and restore peace in the world. He needed to make a little more war money and lay a solid foundation, just as the Americans did in World War II.
And using the yellow scarf to contain them is also one of his preparation methods, using the weak and many yellow scarves to contain the Yuan family brothers, as well as Cao Cāo, so that they cannot grow smoothly, so that he can buy himself time to raise Jing. These three people are not good at their peers, Cao cāo needless to say, it is recognized as the first soldier of the Three Kingdoms, Yuan Shao is not bad, judging from the current battles he has fought in Jizhou, although this person is a little hesitant, but the strength in his hands is strong, you may be able to take advantage of it for a while, but as long as you are caught by him once, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die. It's the same as those martial artists who huā fist embroidered legs meet real heavyweight boxing champions, don't look at how many points you jump up and down, but as long as you are hit by him once, it may be a KO, and all previous victories will be zero. Even Yuan Shu, who is recognized as the most incompetent in history, cannot be underestimated, he has now received Yuan Kui's connections, and he has fierce people like Zhu Jun and Sun Jian under him, plus he is still implicated in Guanzhong Haoqiang, people like Ma Teng can only be a personal guard under him, why do you say that he must be vulnerable?
If you don't recognize this, maybe he is the most vulnerable, and Dong Zhuo in history is his role model. Dong Zhuo was coerced and Liang Jingrui, and entered Luoyang City with great martial arts, and he was abolished, and he was redressed for the party, and he was recruiting famous people from all over the world, but Yuan Shao fought together in Shandong, although Dong Zhuo won consecutive battles, and finally returned to Chang'an in disgrace. Why? It seems that he has no foundation in Shandong, and he can't even find a trustworthy person, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are pit him, Meng him, speaking for Yuan Shao in Shandong, and sharpening his knife behind his back, ready to kill him with his own hands, in fact, there is a more important reason, he has no food to supply his soldiers, so he can only let them rob, robbing may be able to grab gold, silver and jewelry, but food is a consumable, and it is not a long-term solution to rob only by robbing after all. What's more, when the soldiers robbed, his reputation was completely stinky, not only the scholars opposed him, but even the ordinary people opposed him, and it was strange that he was undefeated.
Dong Zhuo had soldiers but no food, so he single-handedly broke the Han Dynasty and opened the prelude to the troubled times, but he became the object of everyone's scolding, and finally was lit with a sky lantern. He doesn't want to be such a pioneer, he wants to be the final winner.
