Chapter 194: Overnight stay
The moon is like a full, and the sky is full of stars.
Under the soft moonlight, Wang Yan and Huang Zhong and their entourage marched forward against the moonlight.
Wang Yan sat in the carriage, looked through the window of the carriage, and asked, "Han Sheng, why did you suddenly come to the Tiger Prison Pass with eighteen horsemen?" No, you've arrived before. β
Huang Zhong's eyes showed a look of happiness, and he replied: "Cao Cao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, and when the news reached Yangdu County, Mr. Hu Zhao concluded that you would leave Luoyang and go to the Tiger Prison Pass to meet the alliance. Mr. Hu was worried that your safety could not be guaranteed, so he ordered me to lead eighteen horsemen to protect you. Luckily, it happened to arrive. β
Wang Yan understood the cause and effect, and ordered: "You took eighteen horsemen to rush overnight, and fought again at night, and you were already exhausted. Besides, it's already late at night, so find a place to rest and hurry up early tomorrow morning. β
Huang Zhong replied without thinking: "On the way here, I paid attention to the road conditions. Not far ahead, there is a dilapidated temple. We can rest in front of us
"Yes"
Wang Yan nodded, he turned his head, looked at Diao Chan sitting in the carriage, and said softly: "From Tiger Prison Pass to Yangdu County, you have to travel continuously, thank you for your hard work." β
Diao Chan smiled and said, "With Childe, Diao Chan is not hard. "When I followed Wang Yun around, no matter how hard and tired I was, I encountered it. In the current situation, Diao Chan does not feel bitter at all. Especially with Wang Yan by his side, Diao Chan's heart is even more happy.
The group hurried, and after a short time, they came to a ruined temple.
The dilapidated temple was empty, and there was no one in the front and back halls.
Shi Ah took his entourage to clean up quickly, and then spread it on the grass. Diao Chan lived in the back hall, while Wang Yan, Jia Xu, Shi A, Huang Zhong and others lived in the front hall
Huang Zhong said: "The lord should rest first, I will keep vigil tonight." β
Wang Yan thought for a while, but he didn't answer immediately, but looked at Guo Jia and Jia Xu, and ordered: "Wenhe, Fengxiao, you two rest early, and you have to hurry tomorrow." β
The two nodded, and lay down on the grass and slept in their clothes.
Wang Yan looked at Huang Zhong again and ordered, "Han Sheng, the eighteen horsemen have come from a long journey, and they are already exhausted. Let them set up their horses and come in to rest. Tonight, Shi Ah and I will take turns guarding it, and you will rest. β
Huang Zhong's expression was stubborn, and he said: "The lord is sympathetic to the soldiers, and the soldiers of the eighteen cavalry must be pleased." But they were responsible for the safety of the lord and could not enter the temple to rest. Otherwise, it will be difficult to respond in time in the event of a sudden accident. Just let them rest outside in place. It's the height of summer, and it's not going to be cold with a bonfire. β
Wang Yan thought for a while and ordered, "Let's go, let's go outside." He walked out, and Huang Zhong hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, you don't have to be like this."
Wang Yan said: "I have made up my mind, no need to persuade again." β
He walked out, Huang Zhong had to follow, and Shi A also hurriedly followed.
Jia Xu looked at Wang Yan's departing back, and there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes. He didn't have much contact with Wang Yan, and the only thing he was sure of was that Wang Yan was strong in martial arts, outstanding in strategy, and even more cunning. Now it seems that Wang Yan is not only both civil and military, but also good at controlling and attracting people's hearts. It was very simple for Wang Yan to rest outside, but when the soldiers saw this, which one was not moved? Why don't you give your life to the fullest?
Guo Jia opened his eyes and muttered, "Brother Wenhe, follow Wang Yan, you will encounter more and more surprises." Since he entered Luoyang, I have followed him until now, and I have witnessed many miracles. β
Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "I'll wait and see"
Outside the temple, Wang Yan appeared, and a group of soldiers hurriedly got up and saluted. Wang Yan bowed slightly, asked everyone to sit down and rest, and then ordered: "You dare to come from Yangdu County, you have traveled a long way, and there is no time to rest." Tonight, I'm coming to keep vigil. β
"This is an order, and it cannot be refuted."
"I have to hurry tomorrow morning, time is tight, so I won't talk nonsense, hurry up and rest."
Wang Yan waved his hand and ordered directly.
The soldiers could not refuse, so they had to rest in place. It's just that their hearts are warm and they dare to move.
Huang Zhong sat down next to Wang Yan, knowing that he couldn't persuade Wang Yan, plus Wang Yan could rest in the carriage during the day, so he didn't persuade and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Shi A sat beside Wang Yan and did not speak.
Outside the temple, there was silence.
Only the rustling of the wind, and the crackling of the campfire. At night, Wang Yan added firewood to the bonfire from time to time to ensure that the bonfire was not extinguished. He is also recuperating while keeping track of the movements around him.
Except for the sound of the wind and the chirping of insects, there was no other sound.
Time flowed from his fingertips, and when the sky became brighter, suddenly, Wang Yan opened his eyes. Wang Yan lay down directly, leaned his ear on the ground, and listened carefully.
"There are cavalry appearing"
A fierce color appeared in Wang Yan's eyes, and he snorted in a deep voice.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Huang Zhong immediately woke up. Huang Zhong was good at marching and fighting, and he immediately lay on the ground and listened. After a while, Huang Zhong stood up and said in a deep voice: "According to the sound analysis from afar, there will be no more than a hundred cavalry coming. The last general boldly deduced that eighty cavalrymen might not be able to reach it. A more precise number of jΓΉ is impossible to speculate. β
Wang Yan said in a deep voice: "No matter what, since the cavalry is here. We can't avoid it. Immediately be on alert and ready for battle. If the other party's target is not ours, don't worry. If the opponent's target is us, fight immediately. β
"No"
Huang Zhong received the order and immediately gave the order.
After a while, the eighteen elite horsemen turned over and got ready for battle.
Huang Zhong also turned over and got on his horse, he held a long knife in his hand, and said, "Lord, you and Shi A retreat to the gate of the temple." Once you are in the temple, you can hide from the onslaught of the war horses, and the last general will not have to worry. β
Wang Yan bowed slightly, and Shi A retreated.
At this time, the gray sky in the eastern sky receded.
A touch of fish belly white, appearing from the east.
Gradually, the sound of the ground shaking became more and more obvious, and the vibration sound could be felt even when standing.
"Boom"
The sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, coming from far and near.
In the blink of an eye, a golden glow erupted from the east. As the morning sun rises, the sky is full of glow, and the sky is bright. Where Wang Yan's eyes touched, he saw a cavalry charging towards him. His pupils shrank, and he said in a deep voice: "After this cavalry appeared on us, its momentum was unabated, and it was murderous, and it was coming at us. β
At this moment, Wang Yan's expression was solemn, speculating who would send cavalry to cover the killing.
Huang Zhong judged from the rhythm of the other party, and also understood that he was coming for Wang Yan. Thinking of the conflict with Yuan Shao at night, Huang Zhong thought that it was Yuan Shao's people, and he ordered: "Zhao Chunyuan, Li Lifang, and Zheng Bing stay to protect the safety of the adults, and the rest of the people listen to my orders." β
