Chapter 43: The Great War Begins
Seeing Wang Xu's suspicions, Zhou Zhi hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Actually, this horse is exchanged. ”
"As soon as you left just now, I said that I wanted to go out with you and contribute to the pacification of the Yellow Turban. Because I have the knowledge of later generations, I am also a little famous in the township. Everyone agreed, and under the arrangement of the order, they gave me a horse on behalf of the township. ”
Saying that, Zhou Zhi glanced at Wang Xu with some embarrassment and said, "But the Yellow Turban Thief's horse is very recognizable, and he won't let me ride it at all." Fauber's horse was familiar with me, so I changed it up. It's just that I didn't expect it to be so excited, and I ran wild as soon as I left the village. ”
"Huh! War horses are psychic, knowing that they are about to have a wide world galloping, of course they will be excited. After glancing at Zhou Zhi's war horse with a smile, Wang Xu looked at Zhou Zhi meaningfully. So why did you change your mind? ”
This time, Zhou Zhi was silent for a long time before he replied leisurely: "All along, I really want to make contributions, and I also think that I am the center. But since you appeared, I've realized that I'm not the only one, that the world doesn't revolve around me, and that I may not be the legendary pig's foot at all. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh deeply. "So, many things naturally have to be decided according to the actual situation, and I also accepted my fate, so I waited for you to come to me. And when you asked me, the reason why you rejected you was because I wasn't sure if you were a trustworthy person! Based on what you say, you are either genuine, or vicious! So I chose to refuse, if you break your promise, it's my life. But at least I'm not going to do that kind of thing when someone sells me and counts the money. But you eventually kept your promise, so I decided to trust you for the time being. ”
Although Zhou Zhi's words were very polite, but for his actions, Wang Xu was not angry, but appreciated it very much, if the other party was really a stupid person, Wang Xu was really too lazy to take him away, and let him fend for himself in the troubled times.
"Zhou Zhi, I appreciate your wisdom. But you haven't seen enough, there are no protagonists in this world, and the adventure only makes us start a little higher. Even without me, don't underestimate the heroes of the world, and don't let the fog of hypocrisy erode your mind. You can do what you are more suitable for, and if you are not suitable, you can't force it, and there is no difference between the present and the past. ”
Seeing that Zhou Zhi followed his words and fell into deep thought, Wang Xu added meaningfully: "Moreover, there are not only two people like us. So, you may be making the right choice......"
Wang Xu's words made Zhou Zhi silent for three days. Unless necessary, he was almost always alone in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
But Wang Xu didn't bother, just a little bitter Wang Fei. Because Zhou Zhi didn't know how to ride a horse, and he couldn't delay the speed of the journey, he was always led by Wang Fei, and he was even more confused about the conversation between Wang Xu and Zhou Zhi for a long time......
It wasn't until he was about to arrive in Yingchuan County that Zhou Zhi took advantage of the opportunity for Wang Fei and Xu Shu to go out to catch prey, and took the initiative to ask. "Wang Xu, you said that not only the two of us are the people of the next generation, but who else?"
Glancing at Zhou Zhi, Wang Xu's eyes narrowed, and he lay on the grass and said lazily: "One is my wife, that is, Xu Shu." The other should be Zhang Jiao's youngest son! ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhi's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at Wang Xu in disbelief. "Xu Shu is a woman? Or the same people of the Hereafter? ”
"Damn! No, you are also a person of later generations, you have been together for three days, and you have not deliberately concealed it, and you can't even distinguish between men and women? Because the other party used the language of later generations, Wang Xu naturally used the previous language.
Being scolded by Wang Xu like this, Zhou Zhi suddenly said embarrassedly: "On weekdays, you all stay with you, how can it be so easy to see!" Besides, I've been thinking about what you've been saying for the past two days, and I haven't paid attention to it at all, I just think Xu Shu is a somewhat neutral man! ”
"Uh...... "For this Zhou Zhi, Wang Xu is a little speechless......
However, with this conversation, Zhou Zhi also slowly recovered, and the words gradually increased. But the crux of the matter is that this is not an ordinary lot, and the more time you get along, Zhou Zhi's nature is gradually exposed.
It turns out that this girl is a living treasure at all! giggling all day long, and the words he said were not nutritious, which made Wang Xu have a headache!
The only good thing is that it makes the trip laugh a little more......
As the range of the main battlefield in Yingchuan became closer and closer, Wang Xu and the others also slowed down.
Along the way, he also saw more and more refugees, and from their mouths, Wang Xu also knew that Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun had entered Yingchuan County like a bamboo, and they were pacified along the way.
In the face of the menacing imperial army, Bo Cai, the leader of the Yellow Turbans in Yingchuan County, has quickly gathered the Yellow Turban thieves in the surrounding area, and is currently assembled near Yingyin, seemingly intending to take Yingyin City as a stronghold.
But some people also said that they had seen the Yellow Turban Thief in the vicinity in the past two days, and they were going in the direction of Changshe. After learning the news, Wang Xu immediately decided to take a detour and go to Changshe to inquire first.
Originally, Wang Xu was very puzzled, why did Zhang Jiao's young son not move at all, if the other party was indeed from the next generation, then he would never let history repeat itself like this, waiting for destruction! Although these gossips are not credible, they also remind Wang Xu. The other party's age is also relatively young, and no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible to change the deployment that Zhang Jiao has been making for so many years, so he can only grasp the key points.
And the burning of Changshe happened to be the turning point of the Yellow Turban Uprising, as long as he could destroy Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, and even Cao Cao, who later sent troops to reinforce them, then he would go to the unknown!
And things turned out to be as Wang Xu expected. Searching around, they successfully tracked down a small group of Yellow Turbans and found a large Yellow Turban camp in a col dozens of miles away from Changshe.
Wang Xu stopped Wang Fei's idea of immediately reporting this information to the imperial court, but instead spent a lot of time carefully exploring around the Changshe, and after writing down the terrain, he quickly left with Xu Shu and the others, and went straight to Yingyin......
"Who is coming! Stop now. ”
On a dark night, a loud shout suddenly came from the grove north of the Han army barracks, forty miles northeast of Yingyin City!
Nearly fifty people emerged from all corners of the bushes, and at least twenty of them were shimmering with cold light, enveloping four figures of different heights......
These four people are Wang Xu and his entourage who came from the Changshe, and Wang Xu originally planned to go directly to the door of the barracks and then submit a letter of recommendation.
Seeing that he had been discovered by the hidden sentinel in advance, Wang Xu was shocked at first, but then he grabbed Wang Fei, who wanted to rush out, and slowly shook his head.
After a quick calculation in his mind, he smiled slightly and walked out first. Under the pressure of the bows and arrows around him, he happily threw away the spear in his hand, and consciously untied the long sword at his waist and threw it to the ground!
Seeing Wang Xu's actions, although Xu Shu was puzzled, she did not hesitate and immediately did so.
Only Wang Fei couldn't help but become the prisoner's nest, and he had to spit out a mouthful of saliva before he followed out angrily.
Not to mention Zhou Zhi, seeing that the shape is not right, Wang Xu has already "surrendered" again. Immediately, he exaggerated and raised his hands in the air and shouted, "I surrender!" I give up! Whoever surrenders the gun will not be killed! Treat your captives well! ”
However, judging from the contempt in the eyes of those soldiers, it was obvious that no one would pay attention to his words.
The person on the other side who seemed to be in the team looked at Wang Xu and the others, and only after making sure that there were no weapons did he wave his hand to the soldiers in the rear.
Immediately, several people rushed over, quickly picked up the weapons of Wang Xu and the others and threw them to their companions, and immediately took out ropes to tie up the four of them solidly.
At this moment, the team leader slowly lowered the longbow in his hand. After hanging on his back, he looked at Wang Xu and the others, but he was quite annoyed. "This yellow turban thief really doesn't take us seriously, and even sent this kind of milky hairy boy to inquire about the military situation."
After speaking, he looked at Wang Xu's armor regretfully and said: "However, the armor of the three of you is quite good, but it's a pity that it's either too big or too small, otherwise I can apply to be my own trophy." ”
