Chapter 111: The Land of Luoyang
Tai Shi Ci personally selected thirty good players from the Xiao cavalry army, Guan Hai was full of confidence and patted his chest and promised that if there were young people coming, they would definitely not be able to enter within ten zhang, Gongsun Yi dressed up in disguise, and under the escort of Guan Hai, led thirty people to go in the direction of Chang'an.
In Gongsun Yi's view, there is not much danger in going to Chang'an this time, there is Meng Gang in the country, and Cai Yong's family will be sent to the vicinity of Luoyang safely.
The team galloped all the way, but it was very smooth, although cautious, Gongsun Yi went to the direction of Chang'an, and the news of passing through Yanzhou was still learned by Cao Cao.
In the hall, everyone was full, and Cao Cao looked around and waited for everyone's opinions.
It's just that half of the salary and no one speaks, at this time Gongsun Yi is already a Qingzhou pastor, and the original identity has long been different, to be precise, it is a strong enemy of Yanzhou, it is difficult to say that one day will not become a sword soldier on the battlefield, I can't figure out what Cao Cao thinks at this time, so I have to keep silent.
"Strategist, how should I deal with it?"
"The lord has not yet made a decision in his heart, and it is inconvenient for the lower officials to make suggestions, but the lower officials think that with the reshuffling of the forces of the Qingzhou scholars, the generals of the Xiao cavalry army perform their duties, and the people are mostly dependent, and now the best opportunity to take Qingzhou has been lost."
"Moreover, Gongsun Yi must not die in my Yanzhou, otherwise the lord will forever lose the possibility of entering Qingzhou."
"You're saying someone has bad intentions!"
Cao Cao quickly reacted, it is true that if Gongsun Yi died in Yanzhou, the world would think that Cao Cao wanted to seize Qingzhou to make this decision, and he would inevitably lose the hearts of the people.
"It is that Gongsun Yi and the Confucian family married, the establishment of the business alliance, has completely consolidated the Qingzhou scholars, more than a year of Tuntian policy has achieved initial results, the new martyrs' cemetery and monument greatly encourage morale, the soldiers with their lives, the people are attached, at this time whoever attacks Qingzhou will fall into the quagmire of no return."
"Please also ask the military advisor to make it clear."
"My lord, be sure to send a soldier to escort you along the way, and don't let Gongsun Yi have an accident in Yanzhou."
Cao Cao looked at Xiahoudun and said, "Yuan Rang, you immediately take five hundred elite horsemen to escort along the way, and you must protect Gongsun Yiquan." ”
"Rest assured, the lord will not disgrace his life!"
Xun Yu was originally a little hesitant in his heart, whether to persuade Cao Cao to take this opportunity to leave Gongsun Yi in Yanzhou and confine him, so as to control Qingzhou, but Xun Yu knew Cao Cao for a long time and disdained such methods, and Gongsun Yi had a life-saving grace for Cao Cao, but when the words came to his mouth, he still didn't say it.
Gongsun Yi galloped all the way in Yanzhou, rushing in the starry night non-stop, although there are still some days before the time of the joint, but it is always good to reach it early, according to the time calculation, Dong Zhuo is about to be eliminated by Wang Yun with the help of Lu Bu, and Chang'an is about to be in chaos.
If Cai Yong can be brought to Qingzhou to invite him to come out, presumably the world's scholars will inevitably come to vote, the shadow of the famous tree, Cai Yong's influence is very great, and there must be a lot of resourceful people to come, maybe they can rely on Cai Yong's influence to make Jia Xu work.
In the evening, everyone set up camp and was able to be selected to follow Gongsun Yi to come, which made many Xiao cavalry soldiers excited, vying to patrol and protect the left and right, Guan Hai was even more open-eyed, holding a sword like a door god standing in front of the military tent.
Gongsun Yi came outside and distributed the cakes sent to the tent to the armor guards of the night guard, and suddenly there was a shout of killing, and hundreds of people rushed out of the woods not far away, these people were all dressed in short brown, and the blades in their hands were varied, but when they ran, the formation was in strict formation, and it was obvious that they were from the army.
Guan Hai Lang shouted, a group of Xiao cavalry soldiers have held blades together, protecting Gongsun Yi behind him, seeing the team rushing from far and near, Gongsun Yi frowned slightly, it stands to reason that this trip to Chang'an has been highly secret, but it is still in advance to get the news and route, and the ambush here also proves that in Gongsun Yi's mansion, hidden in the other princes' fine works.
Gongsun Yi said very firmly: "Everyone hold on for a while, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”
"My lord, I'm afraid there are no reinforcements!"
"I said yes, yes!"
Gongsun Yi said and took the longbow of the cavalry army beside him, aimed at the hundreds of enemy soldiers who came densely, and the arrows on the bow were completed in one go, and the arrows broke through the air, instantly knocking a man who rushed to the ground, which immediately attracted a burst of applause and a great boost to morale.
Gongsun Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, he was obviously aiming at a strong man three people around him, but fortunately, the enemy stood densely and finally did not shoot empty, Gongsun Yi returned the bow and arrow to the armor soldier next to him very calmly, drew out his sword and said: "Fight to the death!" ”
All the horsemen were tigers and wolves, and under the boiling blood, they all stepped forward with their swords, proudly staring at these lambs to be slaughtered who came to die.
Suddenly, the earth shook, and hundreds of elite horsemen rushed from not far away, and before they got close, they all took bows and arrows, and powerful arrows pierced down, and many ambush soldiers dressed in short brown fell to the ground with arrows, and the cavalry was extremely fast, rushing into it with a strong impact, and the sword was waved, and the blood was broken.
The spear in the hand of the head of the general Xiahoudun flew left and right, stabbing the enemy soldiers from time to time, and the sharp spear slashed through the throat door, always bringing up a large area of blood, where did the enemy soldiers who set up an ambush here think that the cavalry would be killed halfway, and they were slaughtered and slashed by the cavalry who swept the conflict.
Soon the ambush soldiers were killed and retreated, the cavalry covered all the way, and the leading general Xiahou came on horseback, turned over and dismounted and hugged his fist to Gongsun Yi and said: "Lord Gongsun, don't come unharmed!" ”
"Thank you General Xiahou, and thank you to Cao Gong, if it weren't for General Xiahou, I'm afraid it would be hard tonight."
"With the tigers and wolves around Lord Gongsun, how can these young people set off a storm? The last general was ordered by Cao Gong to escort Gongsun all the way to the border of Yanzhou. ”
"With General Xiahou here, this road must be worry-free."
"Lord Gongsun is polite."
Early in the morning of the second day, under the escort of hundreds of cavalry, Gongsun Yi and his party immediately went on the road, and the road was suddenly attacked by a sneak attack, Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun to arrive, indicating that the whereabouts leaked was not a day or two, in order to avoid a long night dream, Gongsun Yi led the troops to advance quickly.
Gongsun Yi also learned from Xiahoudun that these people were all dead soldiers, and they all committed suicide before they were caught, and even if they were caught, no matter how tortured they were, none of them confessed, so it was not easy to judge who ordered them to lurk here.
Dong Zhuo of Chang'an, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and even Cao Cao may also be potential enemies, Gongsun Yi secretly prayed, hoping that Meng Gang's actions in Chang'an would not cause twists and turns.
Before Xiahoudun left, he left the dry food, bows and arrows carried by the whole army to the Xiao cavalry, and left dozens of war horses for backup, so that the Xiao cavalry could be ridden by one person and two horses, and the mobility was greatly improved.
Returning to the Luoyang realm again, Gongsun Yi's mood has long been different, at the beginning just to save his life, walking on thin ice carefully, experiencing all kinds of ups and downs, and now there is finally a place to settle down in Qingzhou, but I saw that the sour jujube county that had worked hard at the beginning was already a ruin at this time, and I had mixed feelings for a while.
The people who originally lived and farmed here, because of the looting and massacre of the Kwantung Coalition Army, those who survived had already fled their homes, presumably there should not be too many people gathered here, according to the previous agreement, Meng Gang would bring Cai Yong's family and Jia Xu's family to this place, presumably with Meng Gang who had been mixed in the Xiliang Army for so many years, he should be able to get out of the customs easily.
After half a ring, there was a small cavalry soldier returned, there was a village in the distance, but it was lifeless, as if no one lived, because the military discipline of the Xiao cavalry army was strict and did not disturb the people, did not dare to investigate deeply, and immediately returned to report.
Gongsun Yi stepped forward and nodded slightly, dispatched a group of Xiao cavalry troops to carefully investigate, and personally took more than a dozen armor soldiers to the village under the escort of Guan Hai, Gongsun Yi frowned slightly, the closer he got to the village, the more he felt that something was wrong.
This wrong village is quite large-scale, and the thatched houses built are quite new, it should not be an abandoned village, Gongsun Yi pushed open a door, and there was silence inside, but the oncoming stench made Gongsun Yi feel shocked.
Then he threw himself into the light in the room, and saw that he was lying on the bed and dying like a miserable person, Gongsun Yi suddenly turned around and rushed out of the door, quickly closed the door and said to the people around him: "Retreat!" ”
