Chapter 198: Suddenly
The three people in the carriage trembled and didn't dare to move for half a minute, and watched the old man in white clapping his hands, and hundreds of Taoist figures appeared in the silence, their expressionless faces were as strict and rigid as a machine.
The old man in white put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "The old man's hospitality is very special, since you are here, don't leave, wouldn't it be comfortable to follow the old man to eat and drink spicy food." β
Zhao Yingqi lowered his head: "Is it really impossible to be accommodating?" β
"You guessed the identity of the old man, and you still want to leave calmly? How could Zhao Tuo's grandson be so naΓ―ve! β
Wei Youqu was shocked, looked left and right and saw that the situation was not quite right, and then realized that he seemed to have fallen into a terrible trap, and immediately panicked: "Who are you?" I am the crown prince of Wei's Joseon, you let me go immediately, otherwise the emperor of the Han family will not let you go. β
"The old man knows your identity very well, the old man's father and your grandfather were rivals, but your grandfather was still very young at that time, probably older than me, you definitely don't know."
Wei Youqu panicked: "You ...... Who the hell are you? β
The old man in white replied with a smile: "The old man's name is Ding Gong, and the old man's father is also called Ding Gong." β
Wei Youqu's head was confused, he didn't know who this old man was, he looked back at the three brothers and seemed to be asking for help, who was Ding Gong?
The two brothers of the Su family covered their heads and sighed, despising in their hearts that this dirt bun was purely a tyrant with no background.
The Wei family lacks background, Wei Man is the deputy general promoted by Lu Juan, and Lu Juan himself is not good at mixing in the Han army sequence, relying on the friendship of Taizu Liu Bang from childhood to adulthood. Wei Man has no status in the Han army sequence, he is purely a rising star who lacks foundation, and at the time of the Chu-Han War, he was still a middle-level officer with a very low status, and he was not qualified to contact the secrets of the level of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu.
The Su family has this qualification, because the Su family is the prince of Taizu Feng, and he personally led the army to participate in the battle of Qixia, and knows many secrets in the early Han Dynasty.
Zhao Yingqi explained helplessly: "Ding Gong is famous in Huai, and Ding Gong's father is a general of the Chu army. β
Wei Youqu was stunned for a long time, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "How can it be...... What bad luck! β
It was this morning.
Another place.
The camping training of 13,000 people began again, after most of the winter of physical training. 8ooo small young man grows taller. The cold winter is not the golden period for height gain, but even so, some people have grown half a head taller.
Fifteen or sixteen-year-old children are growing taller, and the amount of training arranged every day is not particularly heavy, and they advocate gradual improvement.
Thousands of horse-drawn sleighs galloped on the white snow. Each sleigh carries a soldier. Today's training is a rapid march under the snow and ice in the harsh winter.
The destination of the rapid march was at the foot of the South Mountain in the south. When you get there, there is still a hunting competition, how can you enter the treasure mountain and return empty, in the past, you have to go into the mountain to catch some prey and make tooth sacrifices.
Cao Shi rode a horse and followed behind the sleigh procession. Glancing at the warm sun: "In a few days, the temperature will rise and the snow will melt, and winter will pass." β
"General, the evaluation of horse-drawn sleds in the army is not bad, I don't think there is any need to engage in dog sledding, and we don't have long-haired dogs in Handi." Zhao Junyu rode a horse to catch up.
"Well, there's no hurry to do this, and it's not too late to have a chance to do it in the future."
Cao Shi yawned.
"The prince is sleepy."
"Yes, early this morning, my wife is going to enter the palace to meet the queen mother, the expansion of the garment workshop has dragged on for two or three months, and the big farmer has ordered that the budget over there is always unpassable, and I have to urge the Son of Heaven to do his best to implement the new Weiqiao, and the second lady Wei also went to Chang'an City to be busy with the chores of the garment factory, and I was woken up by them and couldn't sleep, so I went out early."
"Then the prince should go back and rest quickly."
"Don't make such a fuss if you haven't slept enough, I'll go back after training in the morning."
Cao Shi was a little absent-minded, training is not a moment, the training plan he formulated is carried out step by step, this is also no way, there is no war to fight in the world of peace, and training the new army is training in addition to training.
The efficiency of military training is not as good as the natural elimination rate on the battlefield, and under the law of survival of the fittest, soldiers who do not want to die will naturally become stronger in their potential.
Thirteen thousand people, including 5,000 people who were at least half a year of intensive training for the Yulin Cavalry, and 8,000 young people who had spent two months of recruit training, a large group of people chased into the mountains and fields to find suitable targets, and only after a busy morning did they bring more than 1,000 prey, many of which were hares that ran into them in a panic, and it was not enough to make a meal of skinning and boiling water, and they had to be paired with their own dry food.
Maybe it's a lack of sleep, the director is in a very average mood today, and he didn't shoot two pheasants that flew out of the forest until noon, and he stayed outside the forest the whole time, he was not in the mood to deal with the bears, leopards, and tigers in the mountains, and it was a good choice to hand them over to those energetic little boys.
Zhao Junyu is not afraid of someone getting hurt, hunting is also a kind of training process, the discipline before going out has been repeatedly emphasized, it doesn't matter if someone doesn't listen to the military order and leaves the team and is injured or hung up, the right is the attrition of normal training, every year the two armies in the north and south have similar attrition indicators, there are many people who die for various reasons or violate military law and are killed, 5,000 forest cavalry will not make mistakes, and 8,000 recruits don't have to worry too much about one less and one less to make up.
After lunch, before two o'clock in the afternoon (two o'clock in the afternoon), the soldiers put away their furs and animal bones, cleaned up the battlefield, and lined up to run back to the camp.
The rest of the training continued in the camp, and Cao Shi said hello and turned around and went home.
After passing the camp of the Southern Army and going east, a diagonal branch road leads to the gallop road to the east.
Cao Shi suddenly remembered, and hurriedly ordered: "Sun Qi, you take ten people to the main gate in the south of the city to wait, pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess and Mrs. Wei to go back to the house together, I told them in the morning to go back early, and they should come out after a while." β
"You can't have no one around you, Prince."
"It's okay, it's safe to gallop all the way this way, and Uncle Wang can protect me in case of trouble, you can go."
"Well, I'll take someone to greet Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Sun Qi turned around and headed southwest with more than a dozen people, and after hesitating, the drama letter also turned around and walked back, Xia Yu would inevitably come back with the carriage.
Cao Shi walked back with the remaining ten people, and saw a four-wheeled carriage in the middle of the gallop road halfway through, and no one could see it.
"Go see what's going on."
Several family members rode their horses to look around, only to hear a scream, and fell off their horses one after another, and several masked men with long swords suddenly jumped out of the carriage and rushed straight towards them.
"Protect the prince!"
Several other family members drew their bows and long swords and gathered in a circle.
As he turned over and dismounted, he drew his steel sword and stabbed a man with his hand, and the assassins on either side rushed towards the horse team in defiance of their slain companions.
Seeing this, Wang Meng roared and stabbed a few swords in a row, instantly knocking down several people, and all the assassins were killed in three breaths.
"It's not good, there is still an ambush, you protect the prince and leave quickly!"
Wang Meng's reaction was half a beat slower, only to hear a whistle, dozens of people suddenly came out of the snow on both sides, and they were only a dozen steps away from the nearest Cao Shi.
The moment the family members reacted, they slapped their horses and rushed forward, Cao Shi was caught in the middle of the horse team and galloped, and the assassins in ambush on both sides of the road kept coming out like dumplings, and even the assassins took out a lasso and threw it into the middle of the horse team.
With a neighing horse, he was dragged down at a gallop, and shouted with all his strength the moment he fell: "Run, prince!" β
Cao Shitie galloped on his horse with a blue face, took advantage of the gap to draw his war bow and buckle the arrow, and pulled the bowstring with his right hand and trembled.
Snort!
Within thirty paces, he shot at the invincible chain of runners, and fired his bow left and right to instantly shoot at a dozen assassins who flew towards him.
The first time he killed, he didn't have time to taste the fear and disgust of the first killing, the arrows in his hands were like a repeating crossbow, and the good training of mounted archery was reflected at this moment, arrow after arrow never missed, and those who were hit by the arrow were either killed or injured, and those who survived also lost their combat effectiveness.
Shooting arrows all the way, running dozens of meters away, the quiver was empty.
"Oops! I only brought sixty arrows. β
Cao Shi was stunned for a moment, a few lassoes lassoed Zi Li, and the war horse dragged a few assassins and ran a few steps before slowly stopping, looking around, he was surrounded by groups.
The Assassins did not move, but simply surrounded him, and after a while a carriage came.
An old man walked out of the carriage: "Pingyang Hou Caoshi's martial arts are world-beating, and the magic arrow is invincible!" The 800 dead soldiers carefully cultivated by the old man were shot and killed by the Marquis of Pingyang, and half of the 14 wounded people couldn't survive tonight, which is really amazing! β
"Who the hell are you?"
"Old husband Ding Gong, Ding Gong's Ding, Cao Gong's Gong."
Cao Shi frowned coldly: "Oh, it turns out that the old horseman's name is Ding Gong, dare to ambush me and want to die?" β
"Dead? The old man should have died a long time ago, he should have died sixty years ago, and he lived for sixty years just for revenge, and the old man was not afraid of death. The old man wants more people to die. Ding Gong looked up to the sky and laughed.
Cao Shi said disdainfully: "It turned out to be an old madman. β
"The old man is crazy, the old man still dares to go crazy for decades, you little doll and I have no grievances, I didn't want to touch you, but you offended the old man and offended some people, just take advantage of the new hatred and old hatred to settle the account together, count you unlucky to meet the old man to arrest someone, since you can't catch the little emperor, just take you under the knife."
The assassins slowly dispersed, and several injured family members were tied up by Wuhuada, Wang Meng was at the forefront of the captive team, raised his head and said in shock: "Master! Why are you here, and why are you attacking the prince? β
"Master?"
Cao Shi's brows furrowed, he vaguely remembered that Wang Meng practiced swordsmanship under the famous family in Huainan, which one had never cared about, it seemed that it was the Ding Gong in front of him.
Wang Meng's heart was shocked and angry: "Master, let the prince go!" You're making enemies of the court! β
"Enemies? Is the old man afraid of being an enemy? If the old man is afraid, how can he come here? My good apprentice, let's go to do something big with my old man! Everyone is in the queue, and it's time for us to leave Chang'an City! (To be continued!)
