The next day, the brigade hit the road loaded with booty.

At this time, Liu Cong, with Liang Zhu'er, Lai Fatzi and Ma Zhu'er, as well as more than a dozen personal soldiers, immediately stood at the height of Mushroom Ridge, watching a team of Jingzhou elite soldiers pass in front of him, and his heart was full of pride.

Liu Cong rode on the back of this white horse Snow King for the first time, and behind him was a hula-la-fluttering Liu-shaped flag, which stood majestically like a god in the warm morning sun.

Passing by the Jingzhou elite soldiers in front of them, they all looked up and admired: "Our lord! Our lord! ”

"Look, everyone, the statue of our lord doesn't look like a god Arhat?"

"Oh my God, how mighty the lord is!"

??????

At this time, Wei Yan came over with more than a dozen lieutenant generals and guards, and when he came to him, he reined in his horses and asked Liu Cong: "My lord, yesterday afternoon, the scout sent a letter, saying that Xiahou Yuan personally led the troops, and had moved to dozens of miles north of Queweipo and set up a large camp. ”

"I know." Liu Cong looked at Wei Yan and replied, "Didn't I tell you?" It's okay. Queweipo has two generals, Zhou Cang and Xing Daorong, led troops to garrison, and within ten days, Xiahou Yuan was helpless.

Well, the soldiers are marching with heavy loads, just march slowly.

The soldiers and horses kept advancing towards Xinye City, and after arriving, they set up camp in the east of Xinye City, preparing to meet Xiahou Yuan. Hehe.

I'm going to kill him with the old master of this Snow King for 300 rounds, and see how capable Cao Cao's favorite general Xiahou Miaocai is! ”

Wei Yan listened, and looked at Liu Cong with some doubts, Liu Cong knew that he was worried about the battle in Queweipo, so he ordered: "You just lead the troops first." It's okay, even if Xiahou Yuan broke through Quewei Slope, Zhou Cang's punishment Daorong was enough to stop him and delay him for ten days. I have my own arrangements. ”

Wei Yan was still grinding and not leaving, and the war horse under him was digging the ground while turning the horse's head to the marching team, showing an anxious mood, but he didn't dare to look up at Liu Cong's mount, the Snow King.

Liu Cong said to Wei Yan casually: "I followed up, but I didn't go to Xinye." I went directly to the front line of Queweipo, mainly thinking of observing the land and agriculture north of the Han River along the way.

As soon as the war here is over, we will immediately start cultivating the tuntian, so we need to investigate it in advance so that we can make a feasible plan for the tuntian. ”

Wei Yan didn't dare to speak anymore, and said, "Take care, lord!" "Riding his horse and leading his troops to the front of the line.

Wei Yan rode forward while thinking: "The big war is coming, and the lord is calm. I still remember this Tuntian, what a general's demeanor! ”

Here, Liu Cong saw that Wei Yan was gone, and turned his horse's head and ordered: "Follow the path, go in the direction of Queweipo!" ”

It is already late autumn, and the trees and mountains along the road have already shown a desolate atmosphere. However, today's weather is surprisingly good, the sky is clear, the blue is like a wash, the warm sun is shining brightly in the sky, although Liu Cong and his party are not in a hurry, but as they walk, their backs are warmed by the sun.

Liu Cong pulled the reins of the horse with one hand, and wiped his forehead with the other, but there was sweat sticking to his hands, so he smiled and said to Liang Zhu'er beside him: "Hi! It's hot! ”

At this time, he had already traveled more than thirty miles, and Liang Zhu'er asked for instructions when he heard it: "Second master, why don't you rest for a while?" ”

"Let's go, let's rest at lunchtime."

So he continued to ride his horse.

Liu Cong looked at the fields on the side of the road while walking, only to see a large area of barren land above and below the hills, and occasionally saw a few cultivated fields, and the sparse wheat seedlings looked from afar, and had formed a new green, like a thin layer of green mist.

Liu Cong thought: "Actually, there is no difficulty in Tuntian, there is land." After years of war, there is too much idle land. Well, it's easy to do it if you have land, look at me, as soon as the war here is over, I will immediately push the new tuntian! All the soldiers and civilians in Jingzhou, no one can be idle! ”

Just thinking like this, he suddenly heard a faint thunder rolling, Liu Cong took a look, and saw a large area of dark clouds surging up in the northwest sky, and lightning flashed across the dark clouds from time to time.

Liu Cong was taken aback, turned his face to Liang Zhu'er and shouted, "Ahha, this ghost weather, is it going to rain?" ”

While speaking, the autumn wind before the rain blew a lot of coolness on Liu Cong's body.

I could only hear Liang Zhu'er and Lai Fat Man shouting in unison behind them: "It's really going to rain, it's really going to rain." ”

When Liu Cong looked at it, he saw that in the col not far away, there was a grass house showing the corner of the house from the trees, so he waved his whip and said: "Hurry up, go to the village to take shelter from the rain!" ”

However, the rain came too quickly, although Liu Cong and they were in a hurry, just three or five miles away from the village, a muffled thunder sounded, and the pouring rain began to fall.

The rain flowed from the top of his head to his mouth, and then from the corner of his mouth and down his neck all over his body, and his spine was already soaked, and Liu Cong and his party couldn't hurry.

The rain poured down from the head and fascinated the eyes, so that everyone couldn't even breathe, and the mist under their feet covered the road, and there were wontons between heaven and earth.

The soldiers surrounded Liu Cong in the middle, hurriedly controlling the neighing war horse.

Liang Zhu'er wiped the rain on his face while asking for instructions: "Second master, go into the village to take shelter from the rain?" ”

Liu Cong looked up and looked around, where could he see the village?

Liang Zhu'er was sharp-eyed, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the east, and shouted: "Second master, the village is over there." Why don't we go and find a place to shelter from the rain? ”

Liu Cong wiped a handful of rain from his face, and when he looked closely, through the vast rain curtain, he could vaguely see the village, and the grass houses were hidden among the trees that shook with the wind and rain.

When Liu Cong saw it, he shouted: "Quick, go into the village to shelter from the rain!" ”

But the road was muddy and slippery, and the horses were unsteady on their feet, so they dismounted and led their horses on foot.

Liang Zhu'er instructed a few pro-soldiers to walk in front and go to the village to find shelter from the rain, and he and Lai Fatzi closely guarded Liu Cong's left and right, sliding step by step towards the village.

Finally, I came to the village and saw a tall grass house nearby, the rain on the roof was pouring like rain, the door was closed, and even the wood door in the middle of the fence wall was close to the door frame.

The soldiers went over to push open the chaimen and shouted for a while, but no one answered, and then went into the courtyard and knocked on the door, shouting loudly, saying that the soldiers of the Jingzhou Yamen were passing by here, please open the door and take a step to avoid the rain.

At this time, the door of the house opened, and two or three men poked their heads out to look around, and saw through the rain curtain a group of Jingzhou soldiers standing in the heavy rain outside the chaimen, and hurriedly retracted their bodies and closed the door again.

Despite the repeated begging of the soldiers, the door never opened a crack again.

When Liu Cong saw it, he ordered his soldiers to come back: "Go to other people's houses to find it!" ”

The soldier turned his head and wiped the rain on his face, and walked back with a curse, and after leaving the firewood door, he turned around and kicked at the door frame, scolding: "Grass, your mother, if it weren't for the heavy rain, I would light a fire to your house, and then let your turtle sons have such dark eyes!" ”

While scolding, he and the two pro-soldiers went east to look for a house, and Liu Cong and the others walked behind.

It turned out that there were more than 20 Cao soldiers from Fancheng living in this house.

After the ambush at Mushroom Ridge, most of the Cao soldiers were killed, but some Cao soldiers fled and wandered around, some wanted to go up the mountain to become bandits, some wanted to flee back to Yuzhou to join Xiahou Yuan, and some thought about settling down nearby, joining a Zhuang family, and marrying someone's daughter to be a son-in-law??????

These 20 or so Cao Bing, who lived in an idle house at the head of the village, wanted to escape back to Yuzhou to run to Xiahou Yuan, but because a few of them were injured and couldn't walk for a while, and needed to recuperate for a few days, they temporarily used this idle house, gave the landlord a few rents, and told the landlord not to go out and talk nonsense.

stayed like this, waiting for the opportunity to secretly escape back to Yuzhou.

Among them, the leader is called Trumpet Four, his real name is unknown, he used to be a member of Xiahou Yuan's Cao Bing, Du Bo, because he was eloquent and could speak well, so everyone gave him such a nickname.

The idea of escaping back to Yuzhou to run to Xiahou Yuan was to call out the horns, he said: "There is no way out to go up the mountain to be bandits, Jingzhou soldiers must clear the remnants of the soldiers, we are not familiar with the place here, so we have to be prisoners?"

At that time, if you want to kill or scrape, you have to let people speak.

Hidden in the folk to be an inverted son-in-law, hum, how can there be such a good thing?

It is unrealistic for so many deserters to be sons-in-law.

Well, only escaping back to Yuzhou is the right way.

Besides, we all have families and businesses there, and our wives and children are all there, where will we flee if we don't go back to Yuzhou? Running away is a dead end. ”

So these 20 or so people followed the horn four, took advantage of the panic to flee to this village called Wild Boar Slope, and waited for the wounded soldiers to recover, and then waited for the opportunity to flee to Yuzhou.

Now, in the midst of the heavy rain, an opportunity has emerged.

The more than 20 Cao soldiers in the house saw Liu Cong and more than a dozen Jingzhou soldiers, and they thought that the opportunity to escape had come.

The opportunity is not in these dozen Jingzhou soldiers, but in these dozen war horses.

Especially when they saw the white horse that Liu Cong was riding. Trumpet 4 said, "What a godsend. With these dozen horses, we loaded the wounded and food on our horses, and then we stayed overnight, and in less than ten days we could leave this hellish place.

Besides, this white horse is the mount of the main general Liu Lu, and I heard that General Xiahou will reward it to the main general Liu Lu.

Let's snatch this white horse and give it to Xiahou Yuan, won't he make us an officer with a team leader or something?

If you get an official position for 500 stones, you will be willing to die!

Well, as long as you take this white horse and a dozen war horses, it will be a big deal. ”

A few people who were distracted doubted the identity of this Jingzhou soldier: "What are they doing on this rainy day?" Could it be that the landlord leaked the news and came to arrest us? ”

Horn 4 said: "What is the suspicion of the walking person who comes to take shelter from the rain?" If you come and catch us, can we still do it on this rainy day? Are they stupid?

Well, while they don't know who we are, we can't miss the opportunity to do it right away! ”

At this time, the rain gradually weakened, and after waiting for a while, I could only hear the sound of dripping water from the eaves, and there was basically no sound of wind and rain outside.

So, Horn Si personally took two Cao soldiers out and followed Liu Cong and their whereabouts to reconnoitre.

When I came to the front of a house not far away, I saw more than a dozen war horses tied to the trees in front of the house.

Through the sparse fence, you can see a Jingzhou sentry standing at the door under the eaves, and the rest of the Jingzhou soldiers have entered the house to take shelter from the rain.

When the horn saw it, he secretly applauded in his heart. (It's not easy for newcomers to send new books, please vote, send flowers, stamp, and collect what to support.) Mirin thanks. ）054
