Chapter 295: Husband and Wife Return Home (Part II)
The 3,000 soldiers and horses led by Han Jian and Yang Li'er left Yuzhou on the afternoon of the first day and were only 40 miles away to be stationed, and after the whole army was buried in the stove to cook, Han Jian knew that night was the best opportunity to leave, otherwise, the further north he went, the more dangerous his situation would be. At this time, because the team is very close to Yuzhou City, it is also the time when the guards are lax, and it is suitable to escape.
That night, Han Jian and Yang Li'er went back to the camp after dinner, and there were indeed not many cases of couples like Han Jian and Yang Li'er leading troops out to lead the troops, and the two of them had special identities, even the prison army sent by Yang Luochuan could not prevent Han Jian and Yang Li'er from sleeping together.
In the dead of night on the third watch, Han Jian and Yang Li'er still hadn't slept, they were waiting for the arrival of Fa Yi, who was in charge of answering.
When the night moon was dark and the wind was high, it was already winter, the climate was cold, and the whole barracks was also a little depressed. At this time, Fa Yi cautiously came through the sentry post in the barracks and went directly to Han Jian and Yang Li'er's camp tent.
Han Jian kept staring at the outside of the tent, and when he saw a dark shadow coming, he first raised his precautions, and after Fa Ye issued a code, Han Jian hurriedly cut one side of the tent with a dagger, and Fa Ye also entered the tent.
"Master, how are you doing this way?" When Han Jian saw Fa Yi, he first asked with concern.
"The team's defense is so lax, if there is an enemy sneak attack, I am afraid it will not be able to stop it." Law is also the way.
Han Jian smiled bitterly, Yang Luochuan sent him to lead the troops, just to let him be a bait, how can the defense of the military camp goose be strong in this case? On the contrary, the monitoring of him is closer than the monitoring of the enemy army that sneaks up, but fortunately, the law is also very experienced. Dodged the open and dark whistles, and came all the way to meet him.
"Master, can you go?" Han Jian asked.
"Guard Zhang has already led a cavalry out to greet him, and he estimates that he will be able to meet at dawn. Be cautious, if you are discovered, you may be chased along the way. "Fa Yidao.
Han Jian glanced at Yang Li'er and said, "No problem, master." We're ready. ”
Fa Ye stopped talking, and handed Han Jian the bag he was holding, which contained two night clothes. After all, it's dark and windy. It would be much more convenient to have a night walker.
"Qiang'er. Replace it with. Han Jian handed the night robe to Yang Li'er.
Yang Li'er held the night clothes handed over by Han Jian, but she was a little embarrassed, she had never worn a night clothes and done anything like stealing chickens and dogs, and now she was a general with troops. I actually had to wear a night coat and leave the barracks like Xiaoxiao. It was her reluctance. This belongs to the Lord who will flee. If she leaves, how can she ask the soldiers below to work hard for the Southern Palace?
"Li'er, what's wrong with you?" Han Jian put his night clothes on his body indiscriminately. Looking at Yang Li'er who was there with some surprise, he asked.
"I ......" Yang Li'er wanted to speak and stopped.
Han Jian comforted: "Qian'er, don't worry, if we leave here this time, we will still help your father solve the siege of Yuzhou, and then the soldiers and horses of Zhennanhou will return, which is the main purpose of this operation." Now that the soldiers and horses of your Southern Wangfu have been damaged, I have no benefit, how could I be so unwise to do this? ”
Yang Li'er thought about it again and again, and had to put on her night clothes. At this time, Fa Ye, who had just gone out to pour back a few secret sentinels who were close to the gap in the camp tent, greeted Han Jian and Yang Li'er and signaled that Han Jian and Yang Li'er could leave.
"Li'er, let's go." Han Jian took Yang Li'er's hand and said that everything should be done together, and the husband and wife should be of the same heart.
Yang Li'er no longer broke free, and the two of them followed Fa Ye out of the gap in the camp and walked outside the camp with a smear.
The whole camp was very dark, but every few dozen steps, a brazier would be lit for light, and there would be a vigil by soldiers. However, the night vigil soldiers were very slack, and after the middle of the night, more than half of these soldiers were drowsy or had fallen asleep, plus Fa Yi was very vigilant, and he was also very vigilant against the soldiers patrolling around, from Han Jian's tent to the camp, all the way to the camp.
Waiting for Han Jian to take Yang Li'er's hand, as Fa Yi left the internal scope of the barracks, he couldn't help but feel a little emotionally Yang Luochuan's ruthlessness, if it was really such a group of 3,000 soldiers and horses, when he arrived at the front line, he would be attacked by the Northern King Army at any time, how could he save his life at that time? I'm afraid that even Yang Li'er's life will not be guaranteed. In order to relieve the difficulty, Yang Luochuan made the soldiers and horses of Jiangdu and the soldiers and horses of the Western Capital meet each other, but he was even ready to take his daughter's life, and he pretended that he was also a victim, but in fact, this was all his conspiracy.
"Master, how far do we have to go?" Out of the camp, Han Jian knew that it was not a way to go on like this, even if Fa Yi traveled a hundred miles at night, he should prepare the horses to respond, otherwise the three of them had six legs, and it was not a way to avoid the scouts outside the Yuzhou military camp.
"Two miles ahead, there are horses, but only two." Law is also the way.
"It's okay, I'll share a horse with Li'er." Han Jian said.
Yang Li'er heard that there were only two horses, and she was also a little embarrassed in her heart, although she is now married to Han Jian, but after all, the two are not skin-to-skin, and she still can't wipe her face in her heart.
After a few dark posts, the three of them crossed the outer defense line of the barracks and went directly to a bush. Fa Yi went to a dark place, outside a cave that looked like the entrance of a cave, and pulled out two horses, Han Jian saw the horses, and he was also a little relieved, and finally didn't have to rush on two legs.
"Get on the horse." Fa also handed the reins and whip of a horse to Han Jian, got on a horse first, and beckoned.
"Li'er, you go first." Han Jian said.
"I ......" Yang Li'er was a little embarrassed at the moment, under the gaze of Han Jian and Fa Yi, she hesitated to get on the horse, and then Han Jian couldn't help but say, he stepped on the horse directly, wrapped around her waist from behind, and grabbed the reins of the horse at the same time.
Yang Li'er's body stiffened, as if she couldn't move. Han Jian did not stick to some details with Yang Li'er, and directly drove the horse to follow in the footsteps of Fa Yi.
Fa also pointed in the direction of the southwest and said: "We go over there, there is grass all the way, but there are some low-lying places, we must be careful to avoid, this way we still have to be careful of the soldiers and horses patrolling Yuzhou." ”
"Okay." Han Jian should be, after all, this is the periphery of Yuzhou City, and there are still a lot of soldiers and horses patrolling in Yuzhou, if you take the official road, it will definitely be very dangerous, and you can only take the mountain road. In these years, not all mountain roads can be passed, and many roads have no road when they reach the deep mountains, so they can only find their own way to travel, and in this case, it is indeed not easy to meet the receiving soldiers and horses who are also unaware of the road conditions.
Along the way, Han Jian spurred the horse and walked very fast, and along the way, Han Jian could hardly hear anything except the sound of the wind. Yang Li'er was also very silent, and she didn't say anything all the way. Han Jian knew that Yang Li'er's heart would also be very complicated at this time, and if he did this, it would be tantamount to abducting Yang Li'er and taking her away, which was an elopement in the final analysis. Yang Li'er left Yuzhou, and since then he has been regarded as a person in his Dongwang Mansion, Yang Li'er has no choice in the future, she will marry her husband as soon as she wants, even if he Han Jian is treacherous, Yang Li'er has to return to Nanwangfu, and Yang Luochuan will no longer treat this daughter who has become a traitor.
At this time, Han Jian had no other way than to hug Yang Li'er tighter and make her feel his warmth.
After traveling for two hours, it was estimated that there would be more than an hour before dawn, and Fa Yi stopped to take a nap. The road was non-stop, and the horses were tired enough, and Fa Yi also knew that if it continued like this, the horse that Han Jian was riding might be tired and fall on the side of the road.
"Master, can you determine where we are now?" Han Jian stepped forward and asked Fa Yi.
Fa Yi shook her head slightly, she was not very clear about the terrain outside Yuzhou, she just knew that the direction was roughly correct along the way, and in addition, she couldn't say where to meet with Zhang Xing.
Han Jian looked back at the direction of the road they came from, in the past two hours, they had already walked forty or fifty miles, despite this, because they did not leave Yuzhou in a straight line, at this time they were only sixty or seventy miles away from Yuzhou. The soldiers and horses led by Zhang Xing, if there were no obstacles along the way, they would probably have already met them, after all, the two sides were originally only less than a hundred miles apart.
"This is the Sanlipo in the west of the city, ten miles to the west, and you will reach the official road to the north of the west." Yang Li'er, who had been silent, suddenly said.
Han Jian then remembered that among the three of them, Yang Li'er was clear about the terrain, and this was her territory. As the second lady of Nanwangfu, Yang Li'er has inspected various places in Yuzhou many times in recent years, and wherever she is in Yuzhou, she can judge where she is.
"Thank you, Li'er." Han Jian got up, hugged Han Jian's shoulders and smiled.
Yang Li'er didn't have a smile on her face, Yang Li'er thought that she would not be able to face her parents in the future, and she would not be able to face the soldiers and civilians of Nanwangfu, so she was a little ashamed, she was ready to say nothing, but when she was "abducted", she spoke now, which means that she is also an accomplice. She knew very well in her heart that she was willing to go with Han Jian, but she didn't want to make her heart uncomfortable.
"In that case, get on the horse and set off quickly." Fa Yi looked at the sky and beckoned.
Because the moon is dark and the wind is high, if you want to judge the direction on such a night, you must have enough experience, and Fa Yi has a high experience in night travel, and even in this case, you can judge the direction without any mistakes.
The three of them got on the horse, and this time Han Jian hugged Yang Li'er tighter, as if he was afraid that she would escape. The two horses traveled quickly, and traveled more than ten miles to the west, and sure enough, they arrived at an official road leading to the northwest, and after passing the official road, they walked less than five miles, and when the sky was about to dawn, they had already seen the arrival of the cavalry.
"Don't worry." Han Jian greeted Fa Yi, at this time, the identity of the cavalry could not be determined, and they had to stop for a while to see the situation.
But then, Han Jian saw the torch signals sent out by the cavalry, and the sky was clear at this time, Han Jian was quite familiar with these signals, and they were all signals that the soldiers and horses of the Eastern Wangfu were responsible for. Han Jian didn't have a torch in his hand at this time, so he could only ride forward on horseback, and when he reached about fifty steps in front of the cavalry formation, Han Jian also stopped, and at this time Zhang Xing had already stepped forward with a few horses.
