Chapter 297: Stepping into the Party
Chen Yuan also took into account Renzong's face, so he chose this method that he thought was the safest! As soon as the party members left, more than a hundred fast horses in the Crescent Moon Villa had already put on the reins. Chen Yuan rode the horse in front of him and looked at the vote of brothers in front of him.
The whole team was in a triangle, Chen Yuan was the sharpest corner of the triangle, and he was followed by Hu Yanping and Chai Yang, and then Amuda, Tie Anli, and Su Tu. This is followed by some self-appointed squad leaders and the like.
At this moment, Chen Yuan suddenly felt that if he was also a general who could kill the enemy with a gun, then he should be able to be a qualified general!
"Check your gear!"
There is no need to mobilize anything, everything that needs to be said has already been said, those who don't want to cause trouble and don't want to fight hard have already left like Liu Yong, and the rest of the people will play this game with him!
The Jurchens were qualified warriors before they came to the Great Song Dynasty, and the dozens of guys who followed Chen Yuan all the way back from Yanjing had long been accustomed to this kind of formation. So they really are like a force!
During this period of time, Hu Yanping did a very good job, at least these Jurchens had learned to obey orders, but the wooden spears they used before, or half of the iron knives, had already been thrown away. Holding spears and bows and arrows made by the best blacksmiths of the Great Song Dynasty in their hands, their combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
It's like a pack of already fierce wolves suddenly finding the wolf king, and then putting on fangs and claws.
The defenders of Xiping Mansion were only the second-line troops of the party, and Chen Yuan believed that these Jurchens would be able to kill them!
Everyone scrutinized their backpacks. The backpack contained some dry food, two blankets, a short knife, and a rope.
More than a hundred horses were followed by more than a dozen carriages, which were loaded with gongs and drums that could disguise them as the clothes of the Song Dynasty's Lile troops, and of course, Sister Li. When she heard the sound of these men flipping through their backpacks and checking their weapons, Sister Li'er's face turned a little pale.
Chen Yuan walked towards her after seeing it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't be afraid, after this thing is done, I will give you a hundred taels of gold, and Bai Yutang will also help you change your identity, find a place where no one knows you, and you can live in peace and stability in the future." ”
Sister Li forced a smile to herself: "Thank you shopkeeper, it's just that I don't want to be afraid, but my hands and feet just don't obey." ”
Chen Yuan knew this feeling, and this feeling could not be eliminated by saying something from others. Just like when he ambushed and killed the horse thief who chased Yeringlu in the valley for the first time, when was he not afraid? He really didn't know anymore.
Turning his head to the two strong men next to him, he said, "Take care of Sister Li along the way, remember, if there is any danger, you must protect her with your life!" ”
The two replied in unison, "Yes!" ”
Their voices were very crisp, which made Sister Li feel a little strength slowly rising from her heart.
Chen Yuan saw that everyone was ready, and he walked to the forefront of the triangle again: "The party members have just left, our speed must be faster than them, but we have to take a detour." From now on, no one is allowed to leave the team, no one is allowed to leave the sight of the teammates next to them, even if it is a gong, two people must go together! Also, I've already made it clear to your brother the leader where you're going, all you have to do is follow him, don't ask! Got it? ”
The team of the Baishan Battalion was already his private soldiers, and Renzong specially approved the formalities. Chen Yuan's original idea of establishing the Baishan Camp was only to give these Jurchens a stable life. But now his mind has changed, and when he knows that he is about to start a dangerous game, Chen Yuan hopes that they can be like a special forces in the future, and they can save themselves from any danger in a small assault at a critical time.
I didn't focus on her before, and that was because Chen Yuan felt as if he was safe. But in the future, he will invest a lot of money and energy in this team!
Although Chen Yuan didn't know how the special forces were trained, the method of selecting mastiffs that Renzong said reminded him! What's more, he still watched "Soldier Assault".
"Let's go!" Chen Yuan didn't say a word of nonsense, turned his horse's head and galloped away with more than a hundred people, this was the first time he took the initiative to take his brother to attack, looking at Chai Yang's long flowing hair flying in the wind behind him, Hu Yanping's resolute eyes, his heart was really a little surging.
It turns out that it's quite cool to be a general, at least when there is no enemy now, it's quite imposing to run wild with a vote of men and horses. A hundred people seem to be a little less, and the momentum is a little insufficient, so if there is a chance in the future, I will try to get tens of thousands of people to follow behind.
Chen Yuan did not go directly to the party, but made a detour to Qinzhou, went to Lanzhou, and passed through the back of Xiping Mansion! This is done in order to fully conceal one's tracks. Whether it is good to hide is not only related to whether the princess can be rescued smoothly, but also how much trouble she has to solve after the princess is rescued.
If more than 100 fast horses gallop together, it would be strange not to attract attention! After leaving the gate of the villa, the whole team suddenly dispersed according to the previous plan, and more than a hundred people ran to the west in four groups, and as the road became more and more forked, the distance between these four groups was also widened.
At the very edge of Sai Binh Province was a small city called Yao De City, which was their planned meeting point.
Chen Yuan took the thirty people around him, marched during the day and rested at night, in order to hide their whereabouts, they generally chose to camp in the wild. Never set foot in town unless necessary. If there are other caravans on the road, stay out of the way.
After traveling like this for more than ten days, as the eye-catching scene became more and more desolate, and as the clothes worn by the people he occasionally met on the side of the road were no longer the same as theirs, Chen Yuan knew that he had entered the territory of the party.
On the evening of the thirteenth day, when passing by a small town, Chen Yuan asked the men to go into the market town together and buy some things they thought they needed.
As the time had passed, the necessities that his brothers had been carrying had worn out, and a massive replenishment was necessary, and he hoped to hear some useful news.
Can this little market town find out what is useful to you? Chen Yuan didn't know. It's just that he chooses to take such a small town along the way, and even if he accidentally touches those big towns, he will immediately bypass them.
Hu Yanping followed Chen Yuan's side, and the two of them came to a small teahouse. The guy hurriedly greeted him: "Guest officer, do you want to rest after drinking tea?" Please sit inside! ”
The teahouse in this small place is not comparable to the smallest teahouse in Bianjing, and drinking tea in the party is a luxury consumption, so they are not doing business with the locals at all, mainly counting on some Song Dynasty businessmen who come and go. So after seeing Chen Yuan and others, Xiao Er was very enthusiastic.
The fluent Chinese in Xiao Er's mouth made Chen Yuan feel a little kind, and he walked into the teahouse side by side with Hu Yanping: "Okay, let's have a drink." Xiao Er, what good tea and snacks do you have here? ”
Xiao Er hurriedly welcomed the two into the room, and wiped the cloth on the table a few times with the rag on his shoulder: "The two guest officers are people who have seen the world at a glance, of course our small place can't be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, but the firewood and water in the small shop are still good, they are all new tea bought this spring, and they have also learned a few small points, but they are not delicious, and the two guest officers can taste it." ”
Chen Yuan glanced at Xiao Er: "Cheng, you look at it." As he spoke, he handed Xiao Eryi a copper coin, which was enough for fifty or sixty words.
Xiao Er left happily, and Hu Yanping said: "Sister-in-law, you can't spend it like this if you have money, at least you should ask what kind of tea there is, what is the price, otherwise he will really kill you!" ”
Chen Yuan looked at Xiao Er's back: "No, this inn is not a black shop for bullying customers." You can rest assured. ”
From the time he entered the door, Chen Yuan could see that the decoration and furnishings in this inn had been at least five years old. To be able to keep the teahouse open for so long in this small place, it is absolutely impossible to rely on ripping customers!
After a while, Xiao Er brought a pot of tea and put a few snacks on it, although it was not as exquisite as those teahouses in Bianjing, but it was not bad.
After more than ten days of traveling, Chen Yuan was already a little tired, picked up a piece of bean curd cake and put it in his mouth, it tasted good, and immediately praised: "Yes, Xiao Er, you guys here are okay, you have specially sent someone to learn it, right?" ”
There were no other guests in the house, and Xiao Er was happy to stand next to him and replied, "The guest officer has good eyesight!" The pastries we have here are made by the shopkeeper himself, and for this reason, he also went to the teahouse in Bianjing to work as a small worker for half a year. ”
Hu Yanping pulled the whole table with his hand: "Just your table, how much is it?" ”
Xiao Er said with a smile: "Don't worry, the small shop is doing the business of repeat customers, and this table has a total of three hundred and forty Wen." ”
Hu Yanping nodded after hearing this: "Not bad, it's okay!" ”
Chen Yuan took out four hundred wen from his arms: "Here, you don't have to look for it, the rest will be rewarded to you." ”
Xiao Er was very happy: "Thank you, the guest officer, if the guest officer has any other orders, just say it." ”
Chen Yuan asked very casually: "By the way, Xiao Er, we want to go to Liao from here, how should we go?" ”
Xiao Er immediately said: "Oh, it's not the right time for you to catch up this time!" ”
Chen Yuan pulled a chair beside him and asked him to sit down: "I know it too!" It's not easy to catch up, but let me catch up with the war! Originally, we planned to go from Xiping to Xiazhou, and then pass through and then go all the way to the northeast. But now that I've heard that the fight has started, I don't know if this road is still open? ”
Xiao Er shook his head: "It doesn't work!" If you want to ask others, you really don't necessarily know, but I happened to have a caravan passing by a few days ago, and they came down from the north. Listen to them, from Wolf Mountain to Mingtang River, the border with the Liao State has been blocked, and it could have been Rao from the three passes of the Song Dynasty, although the road is not easy to walk, but it is safe! But I don't know which grandson of the Song Dynasty paid attention, and the Song Dynasty army guarding the three passes retreated dozens of miles, which was good, and there was no way to go. ”
