Chapter 40: Mistakes (Part II)
Just imagine, even Liu Chuang feels a little tired, let alone two weak women?
At dawn this morning, Liu Chuang and others came to the bank of the Shushui River.
Relying on Zhang Chao and Li Lun, the two local snakes, they found a relatively soothing river beach and waded through.
After crossing the river, we cleaned up the looted supplies.
Lu Zhu really made a lot of money this time...... It's just that there are not many useful items in it for Liu Chuang and others. Three hundred mouths and seventy-two refining ring swords, 10,000 arrows, 100 three-stone strong bows, and 80 pairs? sleeve armor, twenty sets of horse armor, and two boxes totaling 500 catties of gold.
Liu Chuang and others changed their weapons, and then took away nearly a thousand arrows.
10,000 arrows are in trouble, after all, among the more than 30 people, in addition to Guan Hai Zhang Cheng and Chang Sheng, only Liu Chuang is familiar with archery. Too many arrows will be a drag. A thousand arrows, enough for the four of him. Of course, the armor must be taken away, and the horse armor cannot be discarded. Liu Chuang picked two hard bows and changed them? The sleeve armor is more like a set of horse armor draped on a dragon......
Five hundred gold should be taken away, and there will be little money to be used in the future.
What made Liu Chuang happiest was indeed the oilcloth package that Elze threw on the car.
In the package, there are eleven boxes carved from golden silk nan wood, and each box contains 100 ginseng pills.
That's right, it's the kind of ginseng pill that Elk stole for Liu Chuang before. It is a ginseng pill made from 500-year-old ginseng and refined with precious medicinal materials...... Liu Chuang had already exhausted the ginseng pills before. Now that he has these 1,100 ginseng pills on his body, I believe that in less than a year, he will be able to practice the seventh transformation and reach the realm of refining gods. At that time, he will be able to compete with Zhang Fei in a dignified manner.
The ginseng pill was kept in the elk, and no one knew about it except Liu Chuang and Guan Hai.
In addition, there is still some dry food that can be taken away, and Liu Chuang and the others are not left behind...... After the inventory was completed, the five carts became two. One is used to carry supplies, and the other is used by moose and beans. After all, they are girls, and there are many inconveniences when they walk outside. With such a carriage, it can also save a lot of embarrassment, and Liu Chuang naturally will not throw it away lightly.
At noon, the group entered the mountain trail, but they did not want it to rain.
?? Feasting on the turquoise spring? Cimei cable multiplication enzyme? Uh-huh-6???? Firewood? Astatine recitation of the beech field? After about half an hour of >, Zhang Chao and Li Lun found a spacious cave that could accommodate hundreds of people to settle in the cave......
When the people entered the cave, they immediately got busy.
Someone lives and cooks, and someone takes care of the horses.
Liu Chuang asked Li Lun to boil some hot water first, boil a little ginger soup, and send it to the carriage.
From the car, there was the sound of Suosuo, thinking that it was the elk who took off his clothes and wiped his body for Xiaodouzi.
Liu Chuang was not good at interfering, so he was outside and listened to his orders.
After being busy for a while, Xiaodouzi's situation finally improved. She drank the ginger soup, lay down on the soft tiger skin mat, and soon fell asleep. Elk was also very tired, so he fought hard to settle Xiaodouzi, drank another bowl of meat porridge, and then hugged Xiaodouzi and fell asleep. Liu Chuang had been settling them down, and then he dragged his tired body and sat down next to the bonfire.
"Drink some wine and warm up."
Guan Hai handed over a wine jar with wine in it.
This wine is also a gift that Lu Zhu wants to give to Liu Bei, a total of twenty urns.
The wine is a good wine that is a specialty of Donghai County, but Liu Chuang is not interested. After drinking three bowls of porridge and eating two catties of flatbread, my spirit finally improved a lot. He took the wine, took a sip and returned it to Guan Hai, and said softly, "Uncle Guan, what should we do next?" ”
"According to the original plan, go to the second chamber pavilion."
Huang Shao suddenly spoke, "The plan won't change, but let's be more careful."
Presumably, now, the Elk family has received the news, they will never let us go lightly, and maybe they will set up checkpoints on the road...... Therefore, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for us to rush so swaggeringly. I mean, from now on, we should go to the night to avoid the eyes and ears of the elk. At the same time, someone must be in front to find the way to prevent unnecessary trouble. ”
"What does Lao Huang mean...... Scout? ”
Guan Hai thought about it for a while and nodded in agreement, "Marching and fighting, if there are no scouts to explore the way, it will definitely not be very convenient."
Although we are not marching to fight, scouts are indeed indispensable, otherwise it will be like a blind man hurrying, which is really dangerous.
Let's go in groups of three, and divide into three teams of scouts.
I am on a team with slave Li Lun, Da Liu and Changsheng Zhang Chao are on a team, and Meng Yan is on a team with Yuan Shao and Zhang Cheng. Our three teams of scouts will not attract attention, and take turns to explore the path. According to Lao Huang, everyone rests during the day, scouts go to investigate, and go on the road after nightfall. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads again and again.
The personnel combination of these three teams of scouts is very reasonable.
Each team has a person with super combat effectiveness, a person who is proficient in archery, and an old Jianghu.
Of course, the strength of Guan Hai's first team is relatively weak in comparison. However, under the rule of Donghai County, as long as they did not encounter a large group of soldiers and horses, it was difficult for the squad scouts to stop them.
Huang Shao made some additions and made a complete decision on this matter.
It was not early, and everyone was tired, so after arranging the guards, they rested in groups in the cave.
Liu Chuang carried a coiling dragon stick and sat not far from the elk and the little bean, leaning against the stone wall, closing his eyes and recuperating.
The night passed silently......
By daylight the next day, the rain had stopped.
However, the mountain road was still muddy and difficult to walk, and it was not until it was late that I walked out of the mountain path.
According to the old habits, everyone should rest. But after last night's deliberation, everyone decided to rush overnight, trying to bypass the second chamber pavilion before dawn. So, Liu Chuang and others kept going, rushed for a whole night of night road, and finally bypassed the second room pavilion before dawn, diverted it along Kaiyang Daze, and traveled in the direction of Liuxian. At dawn, people were sleepy. Guan Hai ordered to camp in Daze, Kaiyang.
The area of this Kaiyang Daze is large, densely wooded, and full of swamps.
Finding someone in Kaiyang Daze is not only as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack, but also facing many dangers hidden in Daze.
After the convoy was stationed in Kaiyang Daze, Guan Hai took Pei Wei and Li Lun to explore the way.
Before dark, the three returned to Kaiyang Daze,
Tell everyone, the road ahead is smooth.
"Here, it's close to Xiaopei."
Huang Shao said softly: "Forget it, this is no longer under the rule of Donghai County, so there won't be too many soldiers and horses blocking the road."
Because, although Elk Zhu has a lot of prestige in Xuzhou, it can't affect Xiaopei. Liu Bei handed over Xiaopei to Lu Bu to guard, and the two seemed to be close, but in fact, they each had ghosts. But everyone still has to be careful, Lu Bu is probably more difficult to deal with than Lu Zhu......"
Tiger, Lu Bu!
When Liu Chuang heard this name, he couldn't help but feel a tightening heart.
He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, but he felt a little heavy in his heart.
"In this case, let's do our best to bypass Liuxian and enter Shanyang County...... I always felt that something was not normal. ”
That night, the crowd hit the road again.
Wearing the stars and wearing the moon for one night, camped again at dawn and Kaiyang Daze.
This time, it was Liu Chuang, Pei Shao and Zhang Cheng to be scouts...... Elk was extremely nervous, and after thousands of instructions, he reluctantly let Liu Chuang and the three of them leave. However, Liu Chuang did not ride the elephant dragon, because the target was too obvious and could easily expose Xingzang.
The three of them ran all the way along the official road, and they didn't see anything unusual along the way.
At noon, the three of them rested in a dense forest, ate some dry food briefly, and were about to continue to investigate, but saw Pei Shao stop him.
"Lao Pei, what's wrong?"
Pei Shao waved his hand, signaling Liu Chuang and Zhang Cheng not to speak, and then lay on the ground on the side of the road and listened.
After a few moments, he suddenly got up and "went deeper into the woods." ”
With that, he led the horse and walked back.
Liu Chuang and Zhang Cheng also suddenly became nervous, followed behind Guan Hai, and hid in the depths of the dense forest.
At about a tea time, a large group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared on the official road, marching along the official road...... Looking at the banner, it seems to be Lu Bu's part.
Liu Chuang's heart was shocked, and he suddenly felt inexplicably nervous.
The three of them hid in the depths of the dense forest for almost an hour.
When the soldiers and horses passed, Liu Chuang and the three of them walked out from the depths of the dense forest, and looked at the direction where Lu Bu's soldiers and horses left, and they all showed a solemn expression.
"If my guess is correct, they are in the direction of Pengcheng."
Pei Shao said softly: "According to Lao Huang's plan, we should cross the Jishui in Sanhewan tonight and go to Feng County."
But looking at it like this, these soldiers and horses are also heading in the direction of Sanhe Bay...... Childe, why don't we go over and take a look at the situation? ”
Liu Chuang thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The three of them got on their horses and followed in the direction where Lu Bu's soldiers and horses had left.
About an hour or so away, Liu Chuang and Pei Shao abandoned their horses, leaving Zhang Cheng to guard the horses, and the two climbed a mountain bag on foot.
Lying on the mountain bag, the two raised their eyes and watched, and their faces suddenly changed greatly.
In front of it is Jishui Sanhe Bay, but at Sanhe Bay, there is a military camp stationed at this time.
Liu Chuang's eyes are good, and he can see clearly from a distance on the big silk outside the gate, pinching the gold edge and walking the silver thread book to write the nine characters of 'The Great Han Cavalry Captain, Lu Guoxiang Zhang'.
Among them, the word 'Zhang' is particularly eye-catching.
Liu Chuang slid down from the mountain bag with a sudden, and his face was extremely ugly.
"Childe, what's wrong?"
Liu Chuang took a deep breath and said softly: "If my guess is correct, the chief general of that military camp should be the head of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu, Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. ”
"So what?"
Pei Shao looked confused.
It is no wonder that Zhang Liao rose in Bingzhou, followed Ding Yuan to Luoyang, and then defected to Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu.
Before this, Zhang Liao's reputation was not prominent, and if it weren't for Lu Bu and the name of the Eight Warriors, no one might have paid attention to him at all.
Pei Shao has been active in the Qingzhou area, and Zhang Liao is not well-known, so he naturally doesn't know much about it.
But Liu Chuang knew what a powerful character this Zhang Liao was.
Don't talk about other things, just talk about the 'Great War Xiaoyaojin', which was widely known to Liu Chuang in later generations, and it can be said that women and children are well known...... Why is this Liao Hao Duan stationed in Sanhe Bay? Liu Chuang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Could it be that he wants to stop us?
Thinking of this, Liu Chuang's face suddenly became a little more solemn.
"Lao Pei, let's go."
"Don't you inquire about the other party's reality?"
Liu Chuang smiled bitterly when he heard this,
"No need to ask...... With this Zhang Wenyuan guarding Sanhe Bay, let's not want to cross Jishui. ”
