Chapter 277: Diverting to Weibei
"The Lord is like a god, and I am sorry." Pan Feng admired the authenticity.
Liu Ze shook his head lightly and said: "The road back to the east is a long way, leaving Chang'an is just the first step of a thousand miles, and the dangerous road to Xiongguan is still ahead." If Lu Bu wasn't stupid, Niu Fu at this time had already gotten the news and laid a net in Tongguan, just waiting for us to drill it. ”
Pan Feng was taken aback and said: "It is a very secret thing for us to disguise ourselves as a caravan, unless Lu Bu specifically revealed the news to Niu Fu, but Lu Bu still doesn't know when we will release Wang Jing, so wouldn't it put Wang Jing in danger, what is the difference between murdering Wang Jing?" ”
Liu Ze said indifferently: "Lu Buqi is capricious, the most untrustworthy, Wang Jing's life and death are insignificant in his eyes, the reason why he doesn't dare to chase after him is just an alliance of interests with Wang Yun, he and Wang Yun are not all the way, they are reluctantly combined, but they are also using each other." Whether it is us or Wang Jing, we are all Niu Fu's enemies, as long as Lu Bu reveals the news to Niu Fu, Niu Fu will definitely go all out to investigate, and we will try to get through the test again. This is also where Lu Bu's viciousness lies, he can get rid of us and Wang Jing with the help of Niu Fu, and he will not be honest in front of Wang Yun. ”
Pan Feng couldn't help but said worriedly: "There is only one feasible way to pass the dangerous Tongguan, if Niu Fu leads tens of thousands of Xiliang elite soldiers to strictly guard the pass, we will be sad to pass Tongguan if we decide to put our wings." ”
Liu Ze nodded and said: "Tongguan will definitely not be able to pass, but if Lu Bu thinks he has a plan, then he is very wrong, all roads lead to Rome." I don't believe in this evil yet. ”
"Rome?" Pan Feng was stunned, this is there, why haven't I heard of it.
Liu Ze consciously lost his mouth, pointed to the north bank of the Wei River with a horsewhip, and said, "It's a mule and a horse." Returning to the east is not a road in Tongguan, from then on cross the river to Weibei, to the east across the Yellow River, is Hedong County, the same can go back to the plain. ”
Pan Feng's melancholy was even heavier. "Weibei was the territory of the Huns, and the Huns went south from time to time to plunder. Isn't it too risky to go to Weibei? ”
Liu Ze naturally knew the risks of going to Weibei. But now Tongguan is blocked, and the only way is to make a detour to Weibei and cross the Yellow River from Hukou. As for whether he will encounter the Huns, Liu Ze really doesn't know. If it is a small group of Hun soldiers, they are not afraid. But the Huns in the brigade were a headache. But now Liu Ze has no other choice, only to go to Weibei with a dangerous move.
From Zheng County, we crossed the Weishui River and headed northeast. Compared to Weinan. Weibei can almost be described as a barren land, due to the long-term infestation of the Southern Xiongnu, this area is almost ten rooms and nine empty, uninhabited. Desolation envelops this Loess Plateau, with ravines and rugged roads.
Fortunately, Liu Ze's team still prepared enough food and grass, and along the way, at least he didn't worry about eating, as for the difficult road, in the eyes of Jin Yingwei, this is nothing, the desert of the Western Regions can be broken through, and the small ravine in Weibei can only be regarded as a piece of cake.
Fortunately, this trip did not encounter the cavalry of the Huns, and it can be regarded as safe and smooth.
Cai Yan sits in the car every day, letting the carriage go up and down, Cai Qin is already complaining, but Cai Yan is as calm as water, even when she gets off the car to eat, she is silent, it is rare to say a few words in a day, and even she has been deliberately avoiding Liu Ze's gaze.
Liu Ze kept looking at her and wanted to talk to her, but he was in a hurry, and the two of them had no chance to be alone, and they never had a chance.
After several days of continuous driving, it has approached Longmen Mountain, and you can see the Yellow River when you turn over the beam in front, standing in Longmen Mountain, you can even hear the sound of the Yellow River splashing and roaring in the distance. Everyone was very excited, and it was indeed a blessing to be able to safely pass through this section of the Weibei Mountains, the most dangerous part of the Weibei Mountains.
Liu Ze instructed everyone to dismount and rest, eat some dry food, and prepare to cross the Yellow River in one go.
At this time, the guards who served as the perimeter guards ran over to report to Pan Feng in a panic, and Pan Feng also looked solemn after hearing this, walked quickly to Liu Ze, and said: "Lord Qiqi, a large number of Hun cavalry have been found in the northwest, and they are approaching this side. ”
What Liu Ze was worried about finally happened, camping along the way, never lit a bonfire at night, and ate clean water and dry food, just to avoid the whereabouts of the fireworks, a wisp of cooking smoke on the wasteland, it is likely to be seen clearly from a hundred miles away. But no matter how cautious Liu Ze is, what should come is still here.
"How many are there?"
"The exact number is not clear, but in terms of size, there are as few as two or three thousand people."
Two or three thousand Hun cavalry is not a small number, with hundreds of Jinying guards, it is estimated that it is difficult to deal with, and the bravery of the Hun soldiers, Liu Ze has been taught. Liu Ze's expression became cold, and he ordered the guards to immediately enter the battle state, and instructed Zhao Yun to protect the safety of Cai Yong's family at any cost. If the battle is unfavorable, it will be broken by Liu Ze and Pan Feng, and Zhao Yun will protect the car to break through in the direction of Hukou and wait for the opportunity to cross the river.
"If the matter is urgent, it should be cut off by the clouds, and the lord should withdraw first." Zhao Yun disagreed with Liu Ze's arrangement.
Although Liu Ze has experienced countless battles of life and death, this time he really has no bottom in his heart, and he said with a stern expression; "Zilong, the situation is critical, it is not easy to retreat this time, no matter what, you must protect the safety of Cai Gong's family, please!"
Zhao Yun also felt the solemn aura on Liu Ze's body, so he didn't say anything more, and nodded firmly.
Cai Yong stared at the billowing dust and smoke stirred up in the northwest, and said worriedly: "Runde, have you encountered the Hun soldiers?" ”
Liu Ze took a deep breath and said, "Don't be surprised, teacher, the disciple has already a strategy to break the enemy, don't worry, teacher." ”
Cai Yong was powerless, and when he encountered the enemy, he couldn't help at all, so he retreated to the back with the two women.
The speed of the Huns was extremely fast, but with a few pillars of incense, they had already surrounded and trapped Liu Ze's team in the middle. However, they besieged but did not attack, and kept a distance of more than ten zhang from Liu Ze's team, shouting in their mouths, galloping back and forth, and turning in circles.
Liu Ze blocked a few empty cars in front, forming a barrier, and all the guards were at arm's edge, all of them were concentrating, ready to fight at any time.
At this time, the Huns gathered a horse in the array, the person on the horse was nine feet long tiger arm bear waist, it looked powerful from afar, it was obviously the leader of the Hun cavalry, the Huns were a nation on horseback, advocating force, worshipping heroes, and those who could be the leaders of the Huns must be warriors on the grassland.
He sat on the horse peacefully, a trace of disdain flashed on his face, in his opinion, the Han people were ants, although they had weapons in their hands, but he didn't take it seriously at all, looking at Liu Ze and the others with a kind of eagle playing rabbit eyes, a bloodthirsty smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he was about to give the order to attack.
Suddenly, his gaze fell on Cai Yan, who was behind the crowd, woman! And it's a beautiful woman! His blood boiled in an instant. Whether it is a Han or a Hu person, everyone has a love for beauty, Cai Yan's peerless face and graceful and elegant noble temperament, anyone who has seen it will never forget it.
In the eyes of the leader of the Huns, this group of people is no different from lambs to be slaughtered, as long as he gives an order, the Huns' iron hooves crush it, and they can be destroyed in a moment, but now he has found a new prey in this group of lambs, which makes him excited. The leader of the Huns is already fantasizing about the appearance of the delicate beauty under his crotch.
The leader of the Huns waved his horsewhip, pointed at Cai Yan, and said arrogantly: "This king is happy today, if you sacrifice this little beauty, this king can spare your life!" ”
It's not that the leader of the Huns has the virtue of a good life, but he is afraid that once the attack starts, the sword and arrow will have no eyes and hurt the little beauty he likes, so he decided not to attack for the time being. In his opinion, this is already a great grace, and these people should bow their heads and offer the beauty immediately.
Although he was a Huns, he spoke Chinese very fluently, and Cai Yan's snow-white face suddenly turned red, these barbarians were so rude and so arrogant.
Liu Ze was unmoved, glanced at him coldly and said, "Who are you?" How dare you say it in your mouth! ”
Unexpectedly, someone dared to speak against the leader of the Huns, and it was the Han people they usually despised extremely contempt, before the leader of the Huns spoke, the leader next to him rebuked Liu Ze in Chinese: "Humble Han dog, in front of the horse of King Zuoxian, dare to shout, see if I don't cut your tongue!" ”
King Zuoxian? Liu Ze's heart shook wildly, and he didn't care about the insults of the Hun leader at all. He is the Southern Xiongnu Zuoxian King, Cai Yan's second husband? Oh my God, by mistake, I met him here! Is it fate in the dark, or is it the arrangement of providence? Liu Ze had a feeling of almost suffocation, Nima's, don't bring such a cheat! worked hard to rescue Cai Yan from the prison, but when he walked to Longmen Mountain, he encountered King Zuoxian, could it be that he really sent Cai Yan over to reunite the husband and wife?
The track of history is tenaciously extending, Liu Ze is confused, is it really so difficult to change history? No, another voice cried out in his heart, no matter what, he would not allow the tragedy of history to repeat itself, he would not allow his beloved woman to live a life of humiliation and grief for twelve years in a foreign barbarian, he would never allow it!
Liu Ze looked at it coldly, the arrogance of the Huns was all written on the face of King Zuo Xian, he had never looked at Liu Ze's group of Han people at all, although there were many Hun soldiers, but they were not lined up according to the requirements of the battle at all, the formation was scattered, and the shape was exactly the same as when they plundered the displaced people, each fighting for itself, the position of King Zuo Xian was suddenly forward, only twenty or thirty zhang away from Liu Ze, and there were only two personal guards on the left and right, at this distance, as long as Liu Ze gave an order, he could definitely shoot King Zuo Xian into a hedgehog.
