In the back tent, Diao Chan sat alone on the edge of the bed, and she looked particularly moving under the light, perhaps because she was worried about Gao Fei, with a trace of sorrow and uneasiness between her eyebrows. In just a few days, she has transformed from a girl to a woman, and she is still a little ignorant about things between men and women, and she is also a little hazy emotionally. But her heart has a great dependence on Goofy, she can't say whether it's because of love or gratitude, she just feels that Goofy has occupied her whole heart, enough to make her worry about any little thing about Goofy.
The curtain of the back tent was opened, Gao Fei strode in, and saw Diao Chan sitting alone on the edge of the bed, so he walked straight over, gently took her in his arms, and said slowly: "Diao Chan, let's be separated for a few days for the time being, I have already explained to Lu Heng, he will take care of your safety." ”
Diao Chan leaned on Goofy's shoulder, her eyes full of sadness, how painful it was to feel separation for the first time. She shook her head and responded softly: "General, the concubine doesn't need anyone to take care of her, the concubine can take care of herself alone, the general doesn't have to worry about the concubine, but the general himself has to be more careful, the concubine will wait for the general's triumph in the nearest city." ”
It was the first time Goofy had heard such warm words, and it was the first time he felt that someone cared so much about him. Looking at the beauty in front of him, he felt that he was happy at the moment. He gathered his lips, kissed Diao Chan's forehead gently, stretched out his hand to stroke her sideburns, and asked lightly, "You know everything?" ”
Diao Chan nodded and said, "The concubine is worried about the general, and she overheard the conversation between the general and the adults outside the big tent, and I ask the general to forgive me." ”
"Hehe, it's nothing, even if you don't eavesdrop, I'll tell you. Diao Chan, help me put on my armor! Goofy stood up with a smile, pointed to the armor on the shelf in the corner of the tent, and said to Diao.
Although Diao Chan has not read any books, but the perennial life in the palace has developed his humble habits, although the women in the palace are not all knowledgeable people, but in terms of etiquette, they are definitely better than anyone else. I saw her slowly stand up, walked to the wooden shelf with petite steps, stretched out her hands to take off a cooked copper helmet, put the helmet on Gao Fei's head, and then put the battle armor on Gao Fei's body, and finally tidied it up a little, looking at Gao Fei in front of him, and got a trace of comfort in his heart.
After putting on his armor, Goofy gently hugged Diao Chan again, took his dragon spear, hung his sword, and turned around and walked out. When he walked to the door of the tent, he stopped, looked back at Diao Chan, and said affectionately: "Beauty, take good care of yourself." ”
Diao Chan raised his little hand and waved it at Gao Fei, and only said softly: "General cherished!" ”
The four simple words contain the affection of the paragraphs, Gao Fei turned his head, lifted the curtains, strode out of the tent, jumped on the oolong horse that had been waiting outside the tent, and galloped away with a loud shout.
Coming to the gate of the barracks, a thousand flying feather cavalry who had been well-trained in Wuyue Mountain had been assembled under the leadership of Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong, Pang De, Zhou Cang, and Bian Xi. A thousand people had been following Gao Fei since they left Liangzhou, and when the Liangzhou rebellion was put down, they had not fought for three months, and this time they heard that they were going to go on an expedition, and all of them seemed very excited.
The brave and ruthless Liangzhou athletes, the moment Gao Fei arrived on the oolong horse, they shouted "Lord is mighty", and then under Gao Fei's order, they followed Gao Fei and rushed towards the north. A thousand men, all fully armed, with bows and arrows on their backs, long sabers hanging from their waists, and reins in their hands, galloped with great joy across the plains of the night.
In the dark night, Gao Fei was like a monster floating in the air, the fur of the oolong horse under his seat and the night completely blended together, and the oolong pony that ran fast for the first time carried Gao Fei and left Zhao Yun and others behind him a long way. Goofy had to stop and go in order to achieve a balance with the large army.
Gall Tao City is the county seat of Julu County, where the office of Julu Taishou is located, it is a medium-sized city among the counties of Jizhou, and it is where the money and food of Julu County are located, which is also the key to why the thieves want to attack Gall Tao City.
According to the news from Bian Xi, Zhang Niujiao of the Yellow Turban Yu Party and Chu Yan, a bandit, jointly attacked Gatao City, and Chu Yan took Zhang Niujiao as the leader. These two people are the founders of the famous Montenegrin Army in history, and the person named Chu Yan is the future Zhang Yan. Because the leader Zhang Niujiao died when he attacked Gauntao, before he died, he instructed his subordinates to follow Chu Yan, and Chu Yan was moved, so he changed his surname to Zhang. The reason may be because Zhang Niujiao's subordinates are the Yellow Turban Yu Party, and Zhang Jiao is a great sage and mentor of the Yellow Turban Army, and he is willing to follow the surname Zhang.
The so-called Black Mountain Army is similar to the Yellow Turban Army, the only difference is that the Yellow Turban Army uses Taoist ideas to control the people, while the Black Mountain Army is a group of peasants who can't eat enough to eat. However, the thieves besieging Gaunt Tao now are not the Montenegrin Army in the real sense, and they have not yet formed a scale.
Gao Fei and the others galloped all night, and when it was peaceful, people were sleepy and tired, so he temporarily ordered his subordinates to stop on the side of the road to rest, eat some dry food, and drink some water. After resting for a while, continue to get on the horse, if you drive for half a day, it is estimated that you will be able to get to the gall. In ancient times, there was no such means of transportation as automobiles, so they could only rely on the strength of horses, but no matter how much horses ran, they could not be faster than cars.
The city was almost two hundred miles away from where Gao Fei had camped last night, and according to the speed of the army's horses, the city should be not far ahead.
The scenery along the way is still good, there are mountains, rivers and farmland. On both sides of the mountain road are dense vegetation green hills, a cool gurgling stream looms under the mountain road, the green trees of Cangshan reflect each other as the scenery birds and the fragrance of flowers become a painting, a ridge of farmland connected into a block, east and west clusters are inlaid on the hillside along both sides of the stream. The mist rises in the verdant wheat fields, and occasionally one or two swallows can be glimpsed flying across the ridges, cutting the hazy mist into a line of green.
But no one would have thought that such a beautiful pastoral scenery would soon become a barren land, and the decaying Han court only knew how to enjoy themselves, and the people who did not wear warm clothes and had enough to eat had to rise up one after another. Gao Fei is glad that he has walked out of Gyeonggi, and if you stay in Gyeonggi for a long time, you will be addicted to wine, and you will see the prosperity of the metropolis all day long, and over time you will ignore the people at the bottom.
Along the way, Gao Fei didn't see many refugees, perhaps because they had joined the rebels, or had already migrated to other places.
The further you go, the more desolate the scene becomes, with ruined villages everywhere and piles of bones on the ground. Gao Fei's mood was a little uncomfortable, and he turned around and said to Zhao Yun, Hua Xiong and the others: "You continue to keep the formation and move forward at a uniform speed, the gall Tao City is already not far ahead, my horse is fast, I will go to the front to see the situation first." ”
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Zhao Yun and the others to answer, they pinched the horse's belly hard, and the oolong horse under the seat felt the power brought by the master, let out a long hiss, suddenly accelerated and ran towards the front, and left the thousand light horsemen behind far behind with a slick of smoke along the official road.
Riding alone, Gao Feixin's horse ran forward from the reins, and the oolong horse also felt a little happy, and his four hooves kept changing, running forward at the fastest speed, and on the official road where no one was around, it was really like a black wind sweeping across the earth.
Gao Fei ran forward less than ten miles before he saw a simple camp, where there was still smoke, people dressed in ordinary people's clothes were constantly moving, and some people were still guarding the place where the smoke rose with all kinds of farm tools in their hands.
He reined in his horse, slowed down, and hid in a small wood, observing his surroundings with an unparalleled acumen. Everything was so calm that he was sure that the thieves did not release the sentry, otherwise, he would not have galloped to the back of the camp smoothly.
He stroked the horse's neck and whispered, "Oolong foal, oolong foal, this is the camp of the thieves, you have to be honest, let's look ahead." ”
The oolong foal seemed to understand Goofy's words, and the horse's head nodded slightly, and he didn't say a word.
Goofy led the oolong foal and walked to the edge of the woods, and through the woods he saw the camp a thousand meters away, and after a careful observation, he said to himself: "It seems that it is only a camp of wounded soldiers, but there are only five or six hundred people." ”
He jumped on horseback, rode back from the woods, and stopped on the side of the road after running for two miles, waiting for Zhao Yun and the others to arrive.
After a while, Zhao Yun and a thousand other light horsemen came one after another, and when they saw Gao Fei parked on the side of the road, they stopped their troops, Zhao Yun and Hua Xiongce immediately stepped forward and arched their hands: "Lord! ”
Gao Fei said: "There is a wounded soldier camp of thieves in front, about 500 people, all of them are ordinary people, there are very few people who really have weapons, they are all taking some farm tools, there are no weapons for long-range attacks, you come with me, surround the wounded soldier camp, but don't hurt anyone, violators will be killed!" ”
Zhao Yun and Hua Xiong respectively returned to the army to give orders, and a thousand cavalrymen had made their intentions clear, only to see Gao Fei raise the spear in his hand, and make a move forward, all of them drew out the saber in their waists, and after Gao Fei's order, they galloped out.
In the wounded barracks of the thieves, everyone was busy cooking and eating, and in the tents that had been set up simply, there were people with all kinds of injuries, and the whole barracks presented a peaceful atmosphere.
Suddenly, the earth shook tremblingly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded from behind the trees, and the Han cavalry in battle armor and sabers galloped towards with hideous faces.
The people in the barracks were taken aback, and they hurriedly grabbed some agricultural tools such as hoes, sickles, shovels, and wooden sticks around them as weapons, and tightly pressed together, scattering around the tent, trying to protect the wounded soldiers in the tent.
Gao Fei and a thousand cavalry quickly surrounded this simple camp, there was no wooden fence outside, only a human wall composed of flesh and blood, surrounding the camp tent, when Gao Fei rushed over with the troops, he did not choose to escape, perhaps because he was numb, and there was no food to eat wherever he went, so it was better to fight.
The cavalry formed a large circle as fast as they could, and surrounded more than 500 thieves with farm tools as weapons, but all of them did not attack, but rode on horseback and waited quietly.
Gao Fei rode out under the crowd, moved the spear in his hand forward, and shouted: "You have been surrounded, quickly put down the guys in your hands, and have food after surrendering!" ”
