Chapter 599: The sky is high and the birds fly

Wan Yulou's ability to trace and find traces is highly respected by Li Shimin, speaking of which he can do things under Li Shimin's hand is also a coincidence, when he fought Song Laosheng in Huoyi, after the big victory, Li Shimin led the army to clear the remnants of the Sui army, after a forest Li Shimin hurriedly dismounted and went to the woods to make it convenient, and saw in the grass that the fat man wearing a tattered Sui army uniform was still sleeping, and I don't know how hard this guy escaped for his life, and there was almost no palm-sized place on his clothes, and his body was stained with a lot of blood, But he didn't have a single scar on his body.

Li Shimin was extremely surprised at that time, if this fat man was a survivor of the fierce battle a few days ago, it would be a miracle that he didn't have a little injury on his body, so Li Shimin thought he was a martial artist and ordered his soldiers to rush up and tie him up, but this guy almost peed his pants on the spot. Li Shimin suddenly felt bored and ordered his head to be cut off, but Wan Yulou's words made Li Shimin change his mind.

"Others are good at fighting, I am good at escaping, and sooner or later the general will have a time to get me."

These words are quite disrespectful, and according to Li Shimin's temperament, he would have been stabbed off his head a long time ago. But when he saw such a timid fat man talking with an indifferent confidence, Li Shimin became curious again. So let Wan Yulou escape, and after a cup of tea, he sent a hundred personal soldiers to chase him, and gambled with Wan Yulou on two meats. As a result, Wan Yulou was not arrested again until dark, and Li Shimin was immediately annoyed. The next morning, the fat man appeared in front of the barracks by himself, saying that he had come to collect the bets.

Li Shimin was very interested in this fat man who was greedy for money, and when he saw that he was a clever man, he stayed by his side to serve. Later, I gradually realized that this fat man, who was as timid as a mouse, and whose martial arts were ordinary, turned out to be a master of tracking and finding.

Since then, Wan Yulou has made many contributions.

At the mouth of the gourd, the Tang army was blocked by the Sui army before and after, seeing the endless pouring of feather arrows from the archers on both sides of the Sui army, and when the Tang army was in danger of annihilation, it was this fat man who actually took the army to take a sheep intestine trail and went around, appearing behind the Sui army, Li Shimin led the army to kill a big battle and seize the valley, and then pursued more than 300 miles by victory, and beheaded Pei Wuzheng, the tiger general of the Sui army.

When Li Shimin led the army to fight Xue Ju, there was a micro-service to investigate the enemy's situation, but was discovered by Xue Ju's scouts, the cavalry of the brigade chased after him, and it was this fat man who led Xue Ju's cavalry away, and half a day later, the fat man who led away the enemy actually rode a snatched war horse to catch up with Li Shimin's team, which was greatly admired.

After that, Li Shimin accepted him as a personal soldier and gave him the position of deputy lieutenant of the team.

That's why Li Shimin has the comment that chickens and dogs are all talents, and Li Shimin sometimes hates him and sometimes appreciates this fat man who is greedy for life and afraid of death but can't die at all. If it weren't for the fact that this guy really didn't have the talent to lead the troops, Li Shimin really wanted to give him a team to lead.

But this time, Wan Yulou was really in a desperate situation.

Li Shimin asked him to chase after him, if he couldn't catch up with Li Shimin, he would definitely kill him. If he chased and killed, Li Shimin would still kill him. Even if Li Shimin didn't think that he was the crown prince's person, just because he was one of the thirty-eight people who followed Mo Li to Chang'an, Li Shimin would never leave a hidden danger. Thirty-three of the thirty-eight people have died, and in addition to Wan Yulou, there are four other people who are the pro-soldiers who are serving by Li Shimin's side today, and they are four of the dozens of pro-soldiers that Fang Xuanling persuaded Li Shimin to kill all.

What Wan Yulou didn't know was that he had just left the camp with three hundred elite horsemen. A fire of little momentum broke out in the Tang army's baggage camp, burning two carts of grain and grass. The King of Qin was furious and ordered the beheading of all the Tang troops who were in the vicinity at that time. Those who died were all his own soldiers who had been sent to the baggage camp to work as coolies not long ago.

Li Shimin's temperament is that he would rather kill mistakes than let go, since he knows that there are many people sent by the prince in his own soldiers, how can he keep them?

Li Shun looked at the figure of Wan Yulou in front of him, and thought about when he would slaughter this fat man. He had already led everyone all the way to the northwest for at least one hundred and fifty miles, and did not stop to rest all night. Seeing that he was about to reach the ferry in half an hour, Wan Yulou still didn't find any trace of Mo Li.

Li Shun caught up with Wan Yulou, and asked in the past: "How can you be sure that Mo Li must go to the ferry, what if he doesn't go to the ferry and takes another way?" ”

Maybe it was because Wan Yulou was not in a good mood after being tricked by Mo Li once, he turned around and said to Li Shun angrily: "His Royal Highness King Qin asked you to follow me, you will follow me honestly, if you think you can find Mo Li, then you will kill me now." Where are there so many problems, if you are impatient you can go back now, do you think Lao Tzu is easy? ”

Li Shun was suffocated, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and really wanted to pull it out and cut it.

"If you can't find Mo Li, you and I can't get out of it. It's not easy for everyone in front of King Qin, so I'm just reminding you to do your best. ”

"Need your reminder?"

Wan Yulou pursed his lips and said: "Don't think that your surname Li can teach Lao Tzu a lesson with arrogance, if it weren't for my repeated refusal, King Qin would have assigned me to be a special general in the Split Tiger Camp, you are all Lao Tzu's soldiers!" ”

"You!"

Li Shun was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Looking at the back of Wan Yulou, Li Shun snorted coldly, and secretly said in his heart, Wait until you find Mo Li, Lao Tzu will kill you with one sword. seemed to know what he was thinking, Wan Yulou looked back at him and snorted coldly, but what he thought in his heart was that Lao Tzu had no choice but to take that slut surnamed Wu, when did he ever look up to such a cowardly person like you!

……

……

It's a rare good weather, there is no wind, the sky is clear, and even the clouds are only scattered and scattered, and it looks like the sky is as clear as if it has just been washed, but there are not a few boats at the ferry in such good weather, and I don't know if they all crossed to the other side of the river, or if the boatmen collectively had a stroke on the mother-in-law's belly last night.

Wan Yulou leaned on the trestle and looked at the Tang soldiers dressed as boatmen, and couldn't help but feel funny. When he arrived at the ferry early this morning, he asked Li Shun to arrest all the boatmen, but Li Shun's ruthless beheaded more than 30 boatmen in one go, and even most of the ferries were scuttled, leaving only three or four, and then let the Tang soldiers pretend to be boatmen and sit on the boat and wait.

Li Shun killed, Wan Yulou didn't stop it, but he scoffed at Li Shun's self-righteous approach, killing so many people, even if the corpse capital was thrown into the Yellow River and washed away, but what couldn't be washed away was the murderous aura of the Tang soldiers and the smell of blood in the air, Mo Li, a guy who is good at escaping, is afraid that he will be able to immediately distinguish the danger here.

But Wan Yulou didn't say anything, just looked at it coldly.

There was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Wan Yulou looked up and saw a group of carriages slowly driving over, followed by several samurai guards on horseback around the carriage, and it seemed that a large family was going out. Wan Yu Lou Tsai looked carefully for a while, and then the corners of his mouth picked.

He put on another coat over the three layers of leather armor, and a large hat, which looked like a clumsy blind bear.

Walking up to Li Shun, who was dressed as a boatman, Wan Yulou whispered a few words, Li Shun's eyes lit up, and then he nodded, and his excited expression flashed in his eyes.

"Boatman!"

The escort at the head of the convoy rode over, and without dismounting, he asked with some arrogance: "Can you find a big boat, and cross our carriage across the river with you, if you can find it, my lord will be happy and will reward you greatly." ”

Li Shun hurriedly said: "No problem, can the small one count your number of people, carriages, goods, and the small ones have a rough estimate, so that you can find a suitable big ship." ”

"In the car are my lord and wife, don't disturb!"

The man on horseback commanded: "My master is going to Chang'an City to receive an errand, you be careful!" ”

Li Shun nodded and smiled, then pretended to count the number of people and the carriage and walked behind. When he came to the back of the carriage, he looked at the forage that was being pulled by the horses, and then paused, and then he looked at the groom with a big hat covering half of his face and asked, "There is nothing else in this cart, is there?" ”

The groom replied hoarsely, "There is nothing but forage." ”

Li Shun hummed and turned his head to leave, only took two steps, suddenly pulled out a knife from his arms and stabbed it into the pile of hay on the carriage, and a muffled snort immediately came from the hay, followed by a stream of blood flowing down the bottom of the carriage. Li Shun laughed a few times, drew the knife, stabbed again, drew the knife, and stabbed again.

At this time, the cavalry of the Split Tiger Battalion, which was lying in ambush around, rushed out one hundred and ten, and surrounded the last carriage.

The guards were shocked, and subconsciously drew their knives to protect the carriage in front, and when they saw that all the elite cavalry of the Tang Dynasty rushed out, they all threw their knives on the ground. The fat old man in the carriage, who was almost on par with Wan Yulou, showed his head and asked a little angrily: "Sun Liu!" What's going on! ”

The guard at the head was stunned for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "Master...... We seem to be surrounded by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, have you committed something? ”

……

……

The fat old man naturally didn't commit anything, on the contrary, he was a well-known rich man in Hongnong County, when the Tang Emperor Li Yuan ascended the throne, he offered 50,000 pieces of meat as a congratulatory gift, thinking that he could buy an official and a half-job, but Li Yuan didn't pay attention to it at all. A while ago, I heard that the queen was seriously ill, and this person spent a lot of money to create a jade Guanyin more than a foot high with a jade Ruyi and sent it to the palace.

This person was overjoyed, and immediately took his wife and children to the Chang'an Ministry to get the official documents.

Who knew that he encountered such a headache on the way, this time he went to Chang'an as if he was moving, there were more than 30 cars alone, in addition to his own hired six or seven, and he didn't even remember what the driver of the hay pulled at the end looked like!

Several Tang soldiers rushed up and poked them with their horses, and blood flowed down the bottom of the car like a waterfall. Estimating that the people hiding in the hay had no chance of resisting, Li Shun asked the hay to be pulled open and a dead corpse was revealed. It's just that this dead man is a little weird, his hands and feet are tied, and his mouth is also strangled by a rag, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Mo Li.

Li Shun was stunned, and immediately understood what he turned his head to look at the horseman, but saw that the man had quietly arrived at the side of a cavalryman, Li Shun shouted careful, the man stabbed the cavalryman on horseback to death with a knife, and then dragged down the corpse He turned over on his horse and rushed out into the distance.

It was only after galloping forward for less than 100 meters, and all the cavalry in front of him rushed out to block it. The man turned his horse and fled to the other side, and Li Shun led the cavalry to meet him. Three hundred cavalry formed an encirclement, gradually forcing the man who rushed left and right.

Seeing that he could no longer escape, the man seemed to sigh and then picked up the hat and threw it aside. Li Shun looked at it carefully and then laughed, that person was His Royal Highness King Qin's original personal army.

"Still laughing?"

Mo Li glanced at Li Shun contemptuously and said coldly: "It was that guy from Wanyulou who brought you to find me, didn't you think that he might also be a spy?" ”

Li Shun smiled: "You don't bother with this, you die...... Naturally, he won't survive. ”

Mo Li sighed, looked into the distance and said, "Even if you all die, I'm afraid he won't die." A bunch of idiots...... I didn't think I would fulfill him...... Anyway! ”

Mo Li laughed and pulled out his horizontal knife and said loudly: "Then let's kill it quickly, and the man will die on the battlefield!" ”

Li Shun instantly understood something, and immediately looked back, only to see an unusually fat figure rowing a small boat, swaying across the center of the river, and behind him, several pierced ferries were still slowly sinking.

"The sky is high and the birds are flying!"

There was a wolf's howl in the river, which seemed so free and rampant. It's just that his back looks like a bird, and it looks like a turtle with a thick shell on its back.

Mo Li looked at the back, his eyes were complicated.
