Chapter 324: Big Trail (Part I) Happy New Year's Day!
Wei County is changing and dazzling.
Liu Chuang tried to go through Wu'an, cross Zhao County, and then cross the Hutuo River into Zhongshan.
But Wu'an is on the front line, heavily guarded.
Jia Xu obviously anticipated Liu Chuang's retreat route, so he blocked all the passes early. If you follow this route, although Liu Chuang thinks he is brave, he is also more than lucky. Not to mention the retreat to the river, east of Yecheng and north of Zhangshui, there were Cao troops everywhere. Wanting to fight his way out of the encirclement, Liu Chuang was also a little worried. I think that back then, he broke through from Liu Bei's encirclement in Xuzhou, which was the factor that took advantage of Liu Bei's light enemy. But now, Cao Ying seems to regard him as a big danger to his henchmen, and it is impossible to let his guard down.
Not to mention, Cao Ying's strength is far from being comparable to when Liu Bei was in Xuzhou......
Lu Yu took a sip of water, sat down and said with a wry smile: "The whole Jizhou is now full of ups and downs.
Although Yuan Shang escaped, his strength was greatly damaged, and although there were a cadre to follow him, in my opinion, I am afraid that he would not be able to support it for too long.
As for Yuan Tan, he actually sued for peace with Cao Ying, and married his daughter to Huang Xu'er. ”
"Huh?"
Liu Chuang was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it again, it didn't seem to be surprising. With Cao Ying's surname, this kind of thing is easy to do. thought that he married Cao Xian to Liu Chuang and used Liu Chuang's hand to contain Yuan Shao's forces; Now that he has set up a marriage for Cao Zhang, even if the other party is Yuan Tan's daughter, he will not care too much. He stabilized Yuan Tan through marriage, and then he would inevitably launch a fierce attack on Yuan Shang.
If this is the case, Yuan Shang really can't resist for too long.
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang couldn't help but have a headache.
"Have you ever made contact with the Yellow Pavilion?"
"Yecheng is currently heavily guarded, and Jia Xu has set up eyes and ears everywhere, so he can't get in touch with Huang Ge at all.
However, I heard from Bo Yan...... It is said that Bo Yan suffered a big loss on the banks of the Qing River, but fortunately, Bo Yan commanded properly, Zhong Kang and Ling Ming were brave and good at fighting, so they escaped. Bo Yan moved to the north of Zhangshui, wanting to contain Yuan's army for us. It's a pity that Cao Ying refused to be fooled, and Xiahou Yuan stubbornly guarded Zhangshui, so that Bo Yan had to retreat to the Qinghe River and was moving closer to the river.
Lord, I never thought that Lu Boyan was young, but his methods were not ordinary. ”
Lu Yu and Lu Xun are about the same age, but they are full of admiration for Lu Xun.
Liu Chuang couldn't help laughing, if Lu Xun didn't have a few means, how could he become the governor of the naval army of Eastern Wu in the future?
"In this way, Bo Yan said that they should be able to get out of danger."
Lu Yu thought about it and nodded vigorously.
Liu Chuang, on the other hand, wandered a few steps and said softly, "What else is the news?" ”
"Oh, I also heard that this change in Yecheng came from the hands of Jia Xu, Cao Ying's subordinate minister, but Qingheshui's plan to ambush Lu Xun was offered by a man named Cao Peng. This person is Cao Ying's nephew, and it is said that Cao Ying is very important, and now he is leading his troops to garrison Yecheng. ”
Liu Chuang closed his eyes, but he couldn't remember the impression of this person in his memory.
Presumably, it is another character hidden in history, God knows how it came to be popular??
Liu Chuang didn't pay much attention to this Cao Peng.
After lingering for a while, he said in a deep voice: "In this way, it is very difficult for us to withdraw from Jizhou?" ”
"Very big!"
"In this case, the only way to break through is to break through from the state."
Liu Chuang only has more than 100 flying bear guards in his hands, and there will only be two people, Li Yifeng and Cen Bi, plus a stupid ugly.
With such strength, it is almost impossible to break out of the encirclement from Jizhou. After all, his opponent this time is Cao Ying and Jia Xu...... is even a few points better than Yuan Shao. If you can't break through from Jizhou, you can only try to retreat from Jizhou. But if you want to go from Bingzhou, you have to go through the two counties of Shangdang and Taiyuan...... Shangdang Taiyuan, which is also a heavy pass, Liu Chuang can't help but secretly speak, feeling a headache.
But there is no other way back.
Liu Chuang raised his head and said, "We have been hiding here for too long, if we don't return to Youzhou, I'm afraid that there will be turmoil in Youzhou."
Since Jizhou is not passable, it can only retreat from Bingzhou.
Although we have to go through the party and Taiyuan, I believe that as long as we show up, Kong Ming's side will definitely make a move and try to come to meet us and others. ”
Lu Yu, Yuan Chaonian, Li Yifeng and Cen Bi glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Since the lord has decided, I will respect what the lord said." ”
In this large mountain valley, I have been hiding for a month, and I really can't continue to hide.
After discussion, it was decided to cross the big mountain and enter the state under the rule of Taihang.
Although there is also a gap between Gao Gan and Liu Chuang, in comparison, Liu Chuang thinks that dealing with Gao Gan is far easier than fighting Cao Ying.
Climbing over the large mountain, there is a trail called the large trail.
The road is rough and difficult, and there are many thorns and snakes.
In order to be able to follow the large trail, Liu Chuang also specially asked Lu Yu to buy a lot of realgar. At this time, it is almost summer, and insects and snakes are most active. And the rain for days has nourished the snakes and insects in the big mountain, and they have to be guarded against. After Liu Chuang and his entourage were ready, they walked into the trail of Dahao Mountain. I thought that preparations had been made. But after entering the trail, I realized that I still underestimated this road.
The trail in the large mountain is not limited to this trail.
Why is this trail unknown? And why is this trail so remote?
The road is too difficult to walk!
After walking for a whole day, I traveled more than 20 miles.
There are many dangers hidden in the trail, and thanks to the elephant dragon's psychic, he has sensed the danger several times...... But even so, one of the Flying Bear Guards fell into a snake pit with his horse. After nightfall, Liu Chuang did not dare to continue marching, so he ordered to rest.
The road is so difficult to travel, if it is night......
On this night, mosquitoes flew in the trail, and almost everyone could not rest.
The large trail about 100 miles long, Liu Chuang and others walked for four days.
In four days, three more flying bear guards were bitten by poisonous snakes and died, and five horses fell to the ground. In addition, four Flying Bear guards were seriously injured...... Liu Chuang couldn't bear to abandon them, so he simply dismounted and led the horse on foot. Dong Li opened the way in front, and Li Yifeng and Yuan Chaonian fell behind. Five days later, when Liu Chuang and his party walked out of the trail, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Chuang looks much thinner.
The originally chubby round face has revealed its cheekbones.
And Lu Yu's situation was even more miserable, he didn't know what insect was bitten in the trail, and he kept having a high fever and was groggy.
Fortunately, Liu Chuang knows some first aid measures so that his condition will not worsen.
After stepping out of the trail, it is equivalent to entering the state under the rule of the state.
"It seems that Gao Yuancai is also very nervous!"
After finding a hidden valley at the foot of Taihang Mountain, Liu Chuang ordered everyone to rest.
He asked Yuan Chaonian to go out to inquire about the news, and after learning that Gao Gan had ordered the party to guard Xia Zhao to block Hukou Pass, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
The spout is closed, and it is not easy to get through guò.
However, compared to breaking away from Cao Ying's control range, Liu Chuang didn't care.
Lu Yu was hot all over, and his condition was getting worse and worse.
Liu Chuang knew that if he couldn't find a doctor for treatment, he was afraid that his condition would get worse and worse.
The first aid skills learned from Hua Tuo Zhang Zhongjing, as well as those memories brought by his previous life, were no longer useful at this time......
"My lord, when I went out to inquire about the news, I found that there was a village about twenty miles after I came out of the mountain.
I also went to that village to rest, and it is said that there was a gentleman in that village who had a lot of means. Why don't I take my son's family to the village tonight to find a husband to treat him? ”
When Liu Chuang heard this, he was pleasantly surprised.
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm not worried about you alone...... So let me go with you, and I will have a care. ”
"My lord, how can this be? I'm enough for one person. ”
Liu Chuang said with a smile: "Chao Nian is resting, if I don't follow, how can I rest assured?"
Left and right here is no longer under Cao Ying's rule, I think there will be no danger in the mountain village, let everyone rest for a while, let's leave after dark. ”
Since Liu Chuang has made up his mind, Yuan Chaonian and the others are not easy to persuade again.
After nightfall, Liu Chuang left Li Yifeng and Cen Bi to rest in the valley, while he took Dong Li, carried Lu Yu on his back, let Yuan Chaonian lead the way, and led ten flying bear guards to quietly leave the valley in the night and go straight to the village that Yuan Chaonian said.
The mountain village in the night is exceptionally peaceful.
When Liu Chuang and others came to the entrance of the village, the sound of dogs barking sounded in the village.
Yuan Chao was familiar with the young car, led Liu Chuang and the others to the doctor's residence, and knocked on the door.
I could only hear a noise in the room, followed by a flickering light, and an old voice came from inside, "It's so late, who is disturbing people's dreams?" ”
"Dare to ask Mr. Wen, I have a patient here, and his condition is very serious, please sir, please help."
Yuan Chaonian hurriedly opened his mouth to answer, and after a while, he saw the door open, and an old man walked out of it, looking about his early fifties, with a ruddy face and strong spirits.
After the old man opened the door, he looked at Liu Chuang and his party vigilantly. Especially Liu Chuang and Dong Li, they looked at it repeatedly and were quite vigilant.
"I'm sorry to disturb Mr. late at night.
However, my brother's condition is serious, and he doesn't dare to delay any longer, so I ask my husband to save his life. ”
Liu Chuang took a step forward and bowed.
The old man glanced at Lu Yu on Liu Chuang's back, hesitated and turned sideways, "Come in and talk." ”
Liu Chuang thanked him and walked into the room with Lu Yu on his back.
He asked Yuan Chaonian and Dong Li to take people to guard outside the house, and after following the old man to a side room, he put Lu Yu on the couch.
The old man's name is Wen Yudong, a local who is skilled in medicine.
When he saw that Liu Chuangli had been thoughtful for a few weeks, he was relieved, lit a lamp and stepped forward to check it on Lu Yu.
"You're from Jizhou."
"Huh?"
"In this later life, I was bitten by a schistosomiasis endemic to the large mountains."
Wen Yudong didn't have any worries, and talked eloquently.
It turns out that there is a kind of bug in this large mountain, which specializes in sucking blood. Pingyueli was born in a damp land and sucked the blood of animals in the mountains. If you are bitten by this bug, you will show signs of fever and lethargy. Fortunately, Liu Chuang's first aid along the way was quite appropriate, and Lu Yu's condition did not deteriorate.
Wen Yudong cleaned the wound of Lu Yu's schistosomiasis bite, and then prescribed another pair of medicines.
He looked at Liu Chuang for a moment, and suddenly said: "I guess you can't decoct the medicine for him, so it's better to rest here with me, wait for me to decoct the medicine for him, and sleep all night after taking it." However, if you want to be cured, you must take proper care and rest. ”
At the end, Wen Yudong also added: "Don't worry, this village is very remote, and no one will come here in normal times, and the government will never come here to investigate." ”
Liu Chuang sighed in his heart, and immediately looked at the other party vigilantly.
"Uncle Huang doesn't have to be nervous, I'm just an old guy who has no power to restrain a chicken, how can I compare to the courage of a flying bear?"
"You...... How do you know where I come from? ”
Wen Yudong washed his hands, stood up and said, "Some time ago, I heard that Cao Ying had seized Yecheng, and Uncle Liu's whereabouts are unknown.
Uncle Jinhuang's friend was injured by schistosomiasis...... As far as I know, this schistosomium only survives on the trails of the Big Mountains. In the large mountain, there are countless paths, if you have to do it, who will take that dangerous trail? And I've heard people talk about the appearance of the emperor's uncle, so when the front and back are added, the identity of the emperor's uncle is about to come out, which is not unusual. ”
Liu Chuang was suddenly silent.
"Presumably, Uncle Huang's words are also hard.
I still have some food at home, please don't dislike it.
Your friend, after taking the medicine, you can get better with a rest. I'll decoct a few more pairs of medicine for him, and I think I will be able to keep him safe in Yanmen. ”
Wen Yudong's expression was calm, and he was not half panicked.
Liu Chuang realized that the old man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person.
However, he was not afraid that his identity would be revealed, so he agreed to what Wen Yudong said immediately.
Wen Yudong lit a fire, made some wine and food, and at the same time fried medicine and asked Lu Yu to take it.
"Mr. Guan is not an ordinary person, why is he hiding in this mountain village?"
Wen Yudong laughed, "Uncle Huang has won the award, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I be promoted by Uncle Huang?"
Although this mountain village is remote, it has a unique taste. And today's chaos, with endless wars everywhere, is not as peaceful as this mountain village. ”
Liu Chuang had the heart to ask again, but Wen Yudong never refused to reveal his identity.
Liu Chuang invited him out of the mountain again, but he did not agree.
It can be seen that this old man seems to have seen through the red dust. In this case, Liu Chuangpin didn't want to break his peaceful life now.
When it was about to dawn, Lu Yu sweated and woke up.
It's just that his body is still a little tired, and his limbs are weak.
Liu Chuang saw that the sky was about to dawn, and he didn't dare to stay in the mountain village anymore, so he said goodbye to Wen Yudong.
Before leaving, Wen Yudong suddenly grabbed Liu Chuang, "I have a nephew, who is twenty years old and has a lot of talent.
I knew that Uncle Huang had a heart for the Han Dynasty, so I took the liberty to recommend it to Uncle Huang...... His famous Jia Kui, the word Liang Dao, is a native of Hedong. He said that if the emperor's uncle passed through Jiangyi, he might as well solicit it. I have here a letter, and Uncle Huang may give it to him, and he will understand my heart. ”
After speaking, Wen Yudong took out a letter and handed it to Liu Chuang.
Jia Kui?
When Liu Chuang heard this name, he felt a little familiar.
It's just that for a while, he can't remember where this Jia Kui came from...... However, he became more and more sure that this Wen Yudong was not an idle person. So he respectfully accepted the letter, put it in the deerskin bag he carried with him, and then bowed to Wen Yudong, and then said goodbye and left.
"I don't want there to be such a person in this small village."
On the way back to Yugu, Liu Chuang couldn't help but sigh to Lu Yu on the side.
After taking the medicine and sweating all over, Lu Yu was also much sober, and he suddenly said: "Jia Kui, could it be Jia Liangdao, the filial son of Hedong?" (To be continued.)
