Chapter 83: Loaded and Returned
"Run!"
Without saying a word, the Qiang people spread their legs and ran westward.
"There's someone there, chase after it."
There were sharp eyes of cavalry, and they immediately saw several Qiang people running wildly in the wilderness.
More than ten Xiliang soldiers shouted, and immediately clamped the horse's belly with their legs, and chased after them.
Zhao Yun also found several Qiang people at the first time, and while collecting the cavalry, he urged the horses to chase after him.
In the wilderness where there are no mountains and forests to block the view, no matter how fast you run with two legs, how can you run past a four-legged war horse.
The Xiliang soldiers quickly chased after a hundred paces away, brandishing their sabers and shouting loudly.
Several Qiang people were unsteady and ran wildly in the wilderness.
Airplanes!
In the piercing sound of bowstrings, four wolf's teeth and iron branches rushed to the moon like meteors, piercing the sky.
The four Qiang people didn't have time to turn back before they were shot through the back of the head, and after running a few steps, they fell to their deaths.
Zhao Yun slowly retracted the war horse and hung the horned bow behind the saddle.
A Xiliang soldier urged the horse to catch up and asked, "General Zhao Yun, do you want to chase it?" ”
Zhao Yun groaned slightly, and then said: "This place is already eighty miles away from Dazhai in Zhongqiang's other places, and it should be the limit for the Qiang people to run here without horses." However, in order to prevent any fish from slipping through the net, I waited for another thirty miles to the west. ”
"Yes."
The Xiliang soldiers responded to the order, and the two hundred horsemen immediately scattered and continued to search westward.
Lingju, the official yamen of the Qiang Captain's Department.
Xun Yu was processing the official documents, and suddenly a small official hurried in.
"Sir, great joy, great joy!"
The little official is a member of the Xu clan, waving his arms vigorously, and said loudly: "Just now, General Li Meng sent someone to report that the lord has set foot on the lair of Zhongqiang's other departments, and General Li Meng led a thousand horsemen and drove more than 30,000 cattle, sheep and horses back first. ”
"Oh, is that true?"
Xun Yu suddenly perked up when he heard this, and put down the bamboo slip in his hand.
The little official said excitedly: "How dare you talk nonsense about such a big thing." ”
Jing Yu stood up and said: "Okay, great, with these more than 30,000 cattle and sheep, if you save a little, you can barely eat for two months, and if you get some food, you can last until the autumn harvest." ”
The little official rubbed his hands and said, "What Mr. said is very true. ”
Xun Yu asked, "Where are the cattle and sheep driven by General Li Meng?" ”
The little official hurriedly replied: "I have crossed the Broken Water Bridge, and it is less than thirty miles away from Lingju." ”
Xun Yu nodded and said, "Hurry up and invite General Wu Xi and all the officials to come and discuss the resettlement." ”
"Yes."
The little official said yes and immediately ran out.
Before the sun set, Li Meng led a thousand cavalry and drove cattle and sheep to five miles south of Lingju.
Xun Yu and Wu Xi had been waiting for a long time with all the officials and officials, and they came over.
Li Meng rolled the saddle and dismounted from afar, and bowed his hand to Xun Yu: "I have seen Mr. Xun Yu." ”
Xun Yu bowed back and said, "The general doesn't have to be polite, have you been stable along the way?" ”
Li Meng grinned and said with a smile: "The road is quite smooth, but these beasts are walking too slowly, and they have to stop and gnaw grass after walking for half a day, otherwise they won't be able to move, and they have walked for four days, but fortunately nothing happened." ”
Wu Xi asked, "Why didn't General Luo Zheng come back?" ”
Li Meng didn't have a good impression of Wu Xi, but he didn't show it, and replied: "The battle is settled, and the general ordered a certain to drive the cattle and sheep to turn back first, and there is still grain that has not been collected in the back, and the general personally leads the army to collect grain and escort it." ”
Wu Xi asked, "I don't know when I will be able to arrive?" ”
Li Meng said: "The grain truck is going slower, and it is estimated that it will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." ”
Wu Xi stroked his willow beard and didn't ask again.
Xun Yu said: "General Li Meng, drive the cattle and sheep to the pasture first, and let the soldiers go into the city to rest!" ”
"Yes."
Li Meng had great respect for Xun Yu, and immediately shouted at the soldiers to drive the cattle and sheep as soon as he agreed.
By the time the cattle and sheep were driven to a pasture ten miles west of the city, it was already dark.
Fifty miles east of Yungo in a dense forest.
"General Zhao Yun, it's been five days."
Youxi Liangbing looked at Zhao Yun's face and couldn't help but say.
Zhao Yun said: "I don't need you to say it, I know it." ”
Xiliang Bing said: "The general said that we will intercept for five days and return, today is the fifth day, the brothers have already eaten the dried meat, and the general is estimated to have arrived in Lingju, should we go back?" ”
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Well, the lord should also be in Lingju soon, let's go, let's go back." ”
The two hundred Xiliang soldiers immediately cheered up, climbed on their horses, and galloped north.
Yungo, Han Sui's official residence.
Strategist Cheng Ying said to Han Sui: "Lord, things are a little strange, I heard that in the past few days, a cavalry of two hundred people has been haunting the east of Yunwu, and our army sentry went to investigate, but there was no return. ”
Han Sui let out an 'oh' sound and said, "Where did the cavalry come from, isn't it a horse thief?" ”
Cheng Ying shook his head and said, "It's not like a horse thief." ”
Han Sui's eyes froze for a moment, "It's not a horse thief, where did that come from?" ”
Cheng Ying said: "I don't know about this, anyway, it shouldn't be a horse thief." If it's a horse thief, it's okay to run out and hang around, that is, don't rob it, and don't rob it. And there are no horse thieves near Yogo. ”
Han Sui thought for a moment, and then said, "Let Liang Xing lead a thousand horsemen to take a look." ”
"Yes."
Cheng Ying gave up his orders and went out immediately.
When the sun was about to set, Liang Xing came back unscathed.
"What, that cavalry is gone?"
Han Sui was stunned when he heard the report, and he was a little confused.
Liang Xing replied: "Exactly, but the last general has asked the nearby people in detail, and after listening to the people's description, this cavalry is very likely to be the cavalry under the command of Luo Zheng, the general of Huqiang Zhonglang, but for some reason, Yunwu actually came." ”
Cheng Ying frowned and said, "What are Luo Zheng's cavalry running to Yunwu for?" ”
Han Sui lowered his face and said in a deep voice: "Luo Zheng'er deceived people too much, and sent two hundred cavalry to run to Yunwu to walk the horse, this is provoking General Ben, does this kid really think that General Ben will not dare to step on the flat Lingju?" ”
Cheng Ying shook his head and said, "Luo Zheng'er can't be so boring, there should be another inside story in this matter." ”
Han Sui asked, "What's the inside story?" ”
Cheng Ying groaned: "I can't think of this in the next moment." ”
Han Sui frowned, then stretched out again, and said: "On the first day of the second month, Luo Zhengxiao'er is going to convene the leaders of the Qiang tribes to meet the alliance at Baicaotan at the northern foot of Longwei Mountain, what does Gongying think about this matter?" ”
Cheng Ying said casually: "It is said that when Luo Zheng'er conquered the Kanto, he killed the Central Plains and Hebei Shi clans all over the field, and he liked to solve the problem by force. This time, the alliance of the various Qiang tribes was just to show off their strength. ”
Han Sui said disdainfully: "Could it be that Luo Zhengxiao'er still dares to use force?" ”
Cheng Ying said: "According to Luo Zheng'er's previous style of acting, it is really possible for this guy to use force." However, he is a newcomer to the outside of the land, has not yet gained a firm foothold in Liangzhou, the soldiers are only 8,000, and there are many strong soldiers in the various departments of Zhuqiang. If Luo Zhengxiao'er dares to mess around, which of the various Qiang tribes is easy to provoke. ”
Han Sui deeply agreed: "What Gongying said is extremely true, since the first year of Zhongping, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou raised troops, and the Qiang tribes no longer obeyed the orders of the Han court. Although the departments of Burndang, Zhongqiang, Sister Le, Xiaoyue and other departments did not raise troops to seize the land, Luo Zheng Xiao'er really thought that the imperial court would give him a general to protect Qiang, so he would be able to supervise Xiqiang, that is, he was daydreaming. ”
Cheng Ying nodded again and again: "No, I heard that the other departments of Burndang, Gongtang, and Zhongqiang ignored Luo Zhengxiao'er." Zhong Qiang's other handsome Tu Shen even beat the people sent by Luo Zhengxiao'er, and he didn't sell Luo Zhengxiao's account at all. ”
Han Sui laughed and said, "Then the general is waiting to see a good show." ”
Cheng Ying stroked his beard and smiled.
However, the next day, when the news came, Han Sui jumped up in shock.
