Chapter Forty-Six: The Jade Seal of the Country
Under the illumination of the moonlight, a small group of more than 300 cavalry was galloping on the official road.
In this dispatch, because of the urgency of time, Wang Chong only brought 300 cavalry, and the only generals around him were Wang Shuang and Li Tao, in addition, there was Liu Ye, who had to come with him on the grounds of being a guide.
Originally, Gan Ning also wanted to go out together, but Wang Chong persuaded him to go down, after all, the mouth of the wet beard is the base camp of Jinfan, and there is no room for loss, except for handing it over to Gan Ning, Wang Chong is not at ease with anyone.
For more than a month, Wang Chong practiced riding under the guidance of Wang Shuang almost every day, with good physical fitness and comprehension, although Wang Chong's riding skills were not as exquisite as Wang Shuang, but it was more than enough to carry out riding battles on horses.
Baiyun horse is different from ordinary war horses, it is very psychic, Wang Chong every time he talks to it, as if he can understand people's words, but its temperament is unruly, only in front of Wang Chong will become tame, and when it is for others, it is never a fake color, Wang Chong cherishes it very much, usually free, will personally feed it, and exchange feelings by the way.
Baiyun Horse has strong limbs and a broad back, and Wang Chong sits on it and runs like he is walking on the ground, without feeling the slightest bump, which is also the most important reason why he can learn riding skills in such a short time.
The cavalry was very mobile, and Wang Chong led his army out of the mouth of the city at nightfall, but it only took a few hours to bypass Chaohu Lake and come to the shore of Feishui.
Feishui has a Jindu is very famous, that is, Xiaoyaojin, in history, Zhang Liao once defeated Sun Quan's 100,000 army with 800 cavalry, and became famous in a battle, so that Xiaoer did not dare to cry at night.
According to Liu Ye's analysis, Yuan Yin's soldiers and horses were almost stationed in this area, and Wang Chong originally wanted to send cavalry to investigate around, but who knew that there were suddenly shouts of killing in the distance, and at the same time, the raging flames rose, dyeing the dark night red.
"It's not good, something happened, come with me quickly!" Seeing this, Wang Chong's face changed greatly, and he immediately drove the white cloud horse towards the direction of the fire.
Wang Chong knows history, so he knows very well what happened over there.
In history, Yuan Yin did not succeed in reaching Anhui City, because Xu Xuan, the son of Xu Shu, the general of Duliao, rebelled on the way, Yuan Yin was unfortunately killed, and even the jade seal of the country was stolen by Xu Xuan, and then brought back to Xudu.
Wang Chong didn't want to plan for a long time, but in the end, the bamboo basket was empty, so this mood suddenly became irritable and restless.
Along the way, there were soldiers scattered and fleeing or killing each other, Wang Chong didn't have time to pay attention to these, and led three hundred cavalry straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
The soldiers mutinied, everyone only cared about their own escape, Wang Chong traveled all the way, but did not encounter the slightest obstacle, all the Yuan soldiers saw their cavalry, they all chose to bypass far away, and some of them did not have time to escape, all of them became the souls of Jinfan's guns.
Arriving at the big tent of the Chinese army, there were dozens of Yuan soldiers guarding it, Wang Chong waved his hand, and the three hundred cavalry immediately dispersed and surrounded it.
Jumping off the white cloud horse, Wang Chong murderously took Wang Shuang, Li Tao, Liu Ye and more than a dozen personal guards straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Lifting the curtain and entering the tent, Wang Chong first saw the coffin of Yuan Shu placed in the middle, and beside the coffin, there were several corpses lying in a pool of blood, and several women, children and children were kneeling beside the corpses and crying silently.
Seeing a group of strangers suddenly breaking into the tent, a young man in Chinese costumes in his twenties immediately shouted loudly: "Who are you waiting for, dare to trespass into the tent of the Chinese army?" Not afraid of military law!? ”
"Looks like you haven't figured it out yet!" Wang Chong stepped forward and grabbed the young man's collar, carried it in front of him, and said coldly, "Now you only have one chance to live, that is, to tell me the whereabouts of the jade seal of the country, I count to three, if you don't get the answer I want, I will immediately choke your neck!" ”
"I ...... You ......" A thick fear rose in the young man's eyes, and it was only now that he finally realized that the fierce guys in front of him were not their Yuan family's soldiers at all.
Wang Chong's thick palm grabbed the young man's neck: "One! ”
"Wait, don't ...... Don't kill me, I say, I say yes! The young man was scared to pee, Wang Chong's murderous intent was too strong, and the sharp eyes staring at him seemed to come from a ferocious tiger.
"Two!" Wang Chong's voice was still as cold as machinery, and his hands had gradually begun to exert force.
The young man gripped Wang Chong's wrist with both hands, eager to remove him a little to relieve his suffocation.
"Xu Xuan, it's Xu Xuan!" The young man blushed and shouted desperately, "That brute, who secretly sneaked into the tent tonight and killed my uncle, stole the jade seal, and let more than 100 family members under his command set fire everywhere, thus causing a roar in our military camp. ”
"Sure enough!" Wang Chong's face turned pale, "Where did he go?" ”
The boy pondered for a moment: "It seems to be the northwest direction!" ”
"How long has it been?"
"This is what just happened, less than half an hour after this hour!"
"Half an hour? It's still too late! Wang Chong threw the young man to the ground, turned his head to Liu Ye and said, "Ziyang, you and Boyun take two hundred people to stay here to stabilize the situation, rein in the pawns, and the rest of the people, follow me to pursue quickly!" ”
Wang Chongyan immediately ran out of the big tent, leading Wang Shuang and more than 100 cavalry to quickly disappear into the vast night.
"Northwest? Hmph, Xu Xuan, this old man really wants to escape back to Xudu! Wang Chong sneered in his heart, "Dare to rob me of the national jade seal, I don't know whether to live or die!" ”
Wang Chong led people all the way to run wildly, and from time to time along the way, he would catch a few routs and inquire about Xu Xuan's whereabouts, some people knew and some people didn't know, but under many inquiries, he finally judged the general direction of Xu Xuan's escape.
Soon, with the help of the moonlight, Wang Chong vaguely saw a bloated scribe in front of him carrying a package surrounded by more than a dozen soldiers and speeding forward, occasionally looking back, when he found that a cavalry was speeding towards his side, he was immediately shocked, and the pace under his feet was much faster.
It's a pity, how can two legs outrun four legs?
When the distance between the two sides came within a hundred paces, Wang Chong bent his bow and arrow, only to hear a 'whoosh', the sharp arrow flashed in the darkness, and the next second, it had pierced directly through the back of the scribe's heart.
The scribe fell to the ground, the entourage of soldiers stopped, Jin Fan took the opportunity to catch up, three or two to clear the people, Wang Chong picked up the package on the scribe's back with a gun, opened it to see, it really contained a four-inch radius of the heirloom jade seal, and immediately let out a long sigh.
Wang Chong glanced at Xu Xuan's corpse lightly: "Dispose of the corpse, don't be discovered!" ”
Xu Xuan was a famous scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who had been an official to Jingzhou to assassinate the history, and before offering the emperor, he also served as a court lieutenant, but he was stopped by Yuan Shu on the way to Xudu.
Such a big person, if it is found that he was killed, it will be detrimental to his reputation, so Wang Chong thought about destroying the corpse.
As for why he didn't capture alive just now, but shot an arrow to kill, mainly on the spur of the moment, but this is just an old stubborn who can anger people to death, and it is completely worthless, and if he kills it, he will kill it, Wang Chong does not regret it.
