Chapter 12: The Vanishing Yellow Turban! (b)
After connecting for a few days, Xiahoudun and the others almost ran back and forth, desperately looking for the shadow of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, but the result was extremely frustrating.
There is a saying, Xiahoudun led hundreds of cavalry to a village, summoned the village chief and asked, "We are the soldiers under the command of Cao Mengde, the assassin of Yanzhou, who came here to crusade against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, do you know where he is?" ”
"How many of you are there?" The old man asked hesitantly.
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and thought in his heart, could it be that this old man knows? , and hurriedly said, "My husband is afraid of the yellow scarf's revenge?" Please rest assured, as long as you tell him where he is, he will lead the troops to go, and he can also wait for a clear time, and no one will disturb him after that. ”
"Really?" The old man looked at Xiahoudun suspiciously and said, "In the morning, Liu Yanzhou also led the army to encircle and suppress this yellow scarf, but I don't want to be persecuted and killed by the yellow scarf, what hope do we have ......?"
Xiahoudun frowned, and said in a deep voice, "I hope that the old man will speak up and listen to him!" ”
The old man glanced at Xiahoudun, pointed to the depths of the mountain and said, "From here to there, it is the place where those Yellow Turban rebels live, and sometimes they bring people over to collect grain...... Can't escape a bit! ”
"Traitors dare to do this!" Xiahou said hatefully, "Don't worry, when a certain discovery is discovered, you will wait for a settlement!" ”
"Then the old man thanked the general!" The old man gave a salute.
"Don't dare!" Xiahoudun said a word, turned around and left, he wanted to inform Xiahouyuan and the others of the news he had gotten, and several people would sum it up and then deal with it.
"Big brother, have you ever gone into that village to take a closer look?" Xiahou Yuan suddenly asked.
"That's not true, but I just watched outside, alas, the houses inside are ruined, according to the old man, the yellow scarf seems to often come out to harass the people nearby, and collect grain......"
"Why don't you tell me to lead an army to take a look?" Cao Ren hesitated and said a word.
"That's fine!"
So Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren led thousands of Yanzhou Cao Jiajun into the depths, during which Xiahou Yuan always felt that something was wrong, and finally made a decision to go to Jiang Zhe.
Shi Jiangzhe was listening to Cai Yan caressing the piano in the big tent, and there was Xiu'er by his side, don't be too happy! At this time, Xiahou Yuan arrived.
Seeing the scene in the tent, the corners of Xiahou Yuan's eyes twitched, and he said in his heart, I am anxious all night, but this Mr. Jiang is so peaceful, I really don't know how to comment.
"Sir......" Xiahou Yuan bowed, and then the melodious sound of the piano stopped.
"Genius?" Jiang Zhe got up and beckoned, "Sit down, please!" ”
"Don't dare to bother sir!" Xiahou Yuan sat down and said to Jiang Zhe, "Sir, I have been waiting here for more than ten days, about the Qingzhou Yellow Turban ......"
"You all have to do it yourself!" Jiang Zhe said lightly, "Don't worry, Zhe won't take any credit!" ”
"No, no, no!" Xiahou Yuan saw that Jiang Zhe had misunderstood, and hurriedly explained, "That's not what I mean, I want to ask Mr. about something." ”
"Oh...... Go ahead. ”
"Sir, yesterday a certain eldest brother asked from the nearby people where the yellow turban was located, and today he and Zixiao led the troops forward, but there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, and he came to teach Mr.
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe paused for a moment, thought for a while and said, "This must be caused by Miaocai's uncertainty, it's okay, it seems to be resting when you go back, everyone here must be tired, let's go......"
Xiahou Yuan looked at Jiang Zhe embarrassedly, and seeing that his face didn't seem to be joking, he suddenly felt angry and ashamed in his heart, and turned around with his hand.
Jiang Zhe looked at Xiahou Yuan lightly and left angrily, and took out a tortoise shell in his hand...... "This Jiang Shouyi is too much!" Yu Ban said angrily.
"Don't blame him!" Xiahou Yuan sighed and said, "In the morning, we were rude first, he was the main general, and we waited as the deputy general but did not obey the orders of the main general, and left him idle, and I would not blame him for being angry...... If so-and-so had already left angrily, how could he still talk to him so calmly? ”
"In this way, it depends on Yuan Rang and Zixiao!" Yu Ban sighed.
Xiahoudun and Cao Ren led their troops to the foot of the mountain, and when they saw a forest, Cao Ren frowned and said, "Don't enter every forest!" I'm afraid it's a fraud! ”
Xiahoudun said strangely, "Bi'an knows that I will come later?" ”
"There are thousands of us, how can there be no movement in what we are doing? This is the hinterland of the Yellow Turban, so be careful! ”
Xiahoudun sent more than a dozen soldiers into the woods, and he waited outside with thousands of troops.
Not long after, a soldier came out and waved his hand at Xiahoudun, signaling that there was no one in the forest.
"Look!" Xiahoudun laughed and ordered, "Go!" Into the forest! ”
"Could it be that something is wrong?" Cao Ren frowned, laughed at himself, waited for a while, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart, why did the soldier go back to the forest again? Should he be back on the team!
"Yuan Rang!" Cao Ren was in a hurry, and shouted loudly, "Little ......"
Before he finished speaking, countless arrows flew out of the forest, roaring towards the Yanzhou army under the command of Xiahoudun and Cao Ren.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Xiahoudun shouted loudly while shooting down the close-range arrow with his gun, "Formation!" ”
After the Yanzhou army fell more than 100 people, they finally reacted, took a shield and put it in front of them, and formed a formation to resist the rain of arrows.
Xiahou shouted angrily, "What a thief! Dare to attack us! ”
A leader slowly walked out of the forest, and said lightly, "I have long heard that Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong, under the command of Cao Yanzhou, are heroes, but I don't know that the two generals are certain generals?" ”
"Who are you?" Cao Ren asked while signaling the soldiers to prepare for battle.
"So-and-so?" The man smiled and said, "Aren't you looking for something all the time!" ”
"You ......" Xiahoudun was taken aback and said, "You are the leader of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Thief?" ”
"Humph!" The man was not angry, and said with a smile, "For so-and-so, aren't you also a thug lackey?" ”
"Presumptuous!" Xiahoudun held the gun, looked at the man angrily, and was about to rush over with the reins of his horse, but fortunately he was pulled by Cao Ren.
"Your Excellency is the head of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban thief, I don't know if you have the guts to use your name?"
"Why don't you dare!" The man laughed and said, "Remember, kill you and others!" It's called Xu He! Shoot the arrows! ”
Several groups of troops suddenly poured out of the surroundings, aiming at Xiahoudun and others is a round of volleys, Xiahoudun saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly ordered the Yanzhou army to flee into the forest behind.
Xu He smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Hmph! Look where you run! ”
That night, Xiahou Yuan was reading a book in the tent, and suddenly someone reported that the two generals had returned, and hurriedly got up to greet them, and found that Xiahou Yuan and Cao Ren were wounded, and there were only hundreds of troops with them, so they were shocked and asked what happened.
Xiahoudun then told the story.
Xiahou Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What can I do like this? This yellow scarf comes and goes without a trace, what should we do? The eldest brother folded thousands of soldiers and horses, and when he arrived at Meng De, it is really hard to say! ”
Everyone didn't speak, and Xiahoudun frowned and said, "This defeat is a certain mistake, don't do your business, when you get to Meng De, you can tell the truth!" If he wants to kill a certain sacrificial flag, he will not complain! ”
"Big brother, don't worry, maybe you can remedy it!" Xiahou Yuan said hesitantly.
Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and immediately said eagerly, "Can you have a plan?" Say it quickly......"
"There is no ......" Xiahou Yuan paused, looked at everyone and said, "But there is a person here who has ......"
"What you said is ......" Xiahoudun's face became more and more strange.
On the second day, Jiang Zhe yawned and came out of the tent, and suddenly looked in front of him and twitched out of the corner of his eye, hmm?
I saw Xiahou Yuan carrying a large bunch of herbaceous plants that Jiang Zhe couldn't name on his back bare-chested, sitting in front of the camp tent, and Xiahou Yuan and the other three generals were there.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Jiang Zhe said strangely, "Yo, General Xiahou, what are you doing here?" ”
Xiahoudun's face turned purple, looking at Xiahoudun's signaling eyes, he secretly pressed down his shame, and said loudly, "A certain person has come to ask Mr. for guilt!" ”
"Yo!" Jiang Zhe was happy, pointed to Xiahoudun's back and said with a smile, "This is the guilt of Jing Petition?" ”
The laughter made the hearts of the four generals sink.
"That's it!" Jiang Zhe smiled lightly and said, "Go to these vanities!" Let's talk about it in the account! ”
The four generals breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and Xiahou Yuan hurriedly helped his brother remove the sundries on his body, and the four of them entered the camp together.
"Thank you Mr. Jiang for not blaming!"
"That's it!" Jiang Zhe said lightly, "You will come to Zhe later, you must have suffered a big loss at the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, let's hear it." ”
Xiahoudun's face was blue and red, and he was very ashamed.
Cao Ren hurriedly said, "Sir, here's how it ......"
Listening to Cao Ren's account, Jiang Zhe frowned and said, "That villager is very suspicious!" Have you checked it out? ”
"Checked!" Yu Ban said, "After Yuan Rang came back yesterday, I discussed it for a while, and I doubted that village, so I led the army there, who knows......"
"How?" Jiang Zhe asked curiously.
"There are many dead people in the village, and many people are wounded, saying that the yellow turban thieves came to take revenge because they leaked secrets......"
"Yo!" Jiang Zhe shook his head and said, "Revenge only killed some and stopped?" Wouldn't it be more shocking if it slaughtered a village? ”
Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What does Mr. mean ......"
"It's a shame that you're still looking for where the yellow scarf is, and the yellow scarf is right under your nose!"
"But sir!" Cao Ren frowned and said, "There are many old and young people in the village, it doesn't look like a fake......
"What do you think the yellow turban is?" Jiang Zhe sighed and said, "The Yellow Turban Army was originally a rebellion of the people who could not survive, of course there are old and young, do you think the Yellow Turban is just an army?" ”
Xiahoudun and the others looked at each other.
"Then ......," Cao Ren said hesitantly, "Mr. means ......"
"My original idea was to co-opt them......," Jiang Zhe said lightly.
"Co-optation?" Xiahoudun frowned and said, "He killed thousands of soldiers, how can this revenge not be avenged, now Mr. said that his village is a yellow scarf, and he will wait for a certain army to exterminate it to vent the hatred in his heart!" ”
"Then you go!" Jiang Zhe said lightly, "You don't have to report anything in the future!" ”
Xiahou Yuan grabbed his brother and hurriedly said, "Mr. is angry, Mr. is angry, big brother!" ”
"Huh?" Xiahoudun looked at Jiang Zhe and said hesitantly, "I'm just afraid that he doesn't know what to do, so he bumped into Mr. ......."
"I'm in my own hands!" Jiang Zhe paced a few steps in the tent and said, "I only ask you you, can you obey my orders from now on?" ”
Xiahoudun said gloomily, "As long as you can make a certain guilty meritorious service, you will be able to see Meng De in the future, and all the orders of Mr. will be obeyed!" ”
"I'm waiting for Mr. Danzun's order!" Xiahou Yuan and the other three bowed down and said.
"Good!" Jiang Zhe took a deep breath, "Let Zhe go and meet the Qingzhou Yellow Turban!" ”
