Chapter 228: Another surname Geng
Seeing Cheng Qiu's question, Geng Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hugged his fists and said: "My lord, no matter how brave the Xiliang Army is, there are only more than 800 people, and after today's battle, there are only 500 people left, their purpose is very simple, that is, to return to Jincheng County, the most important thing at present is to find a way to prevent Jia Rong from returning to Jincheng, and the adults only need to lead the soldiers to follow closely." β
Cheng Qiu said angrily: "Geng County's words are reasonable, but Jia Rong is full of cavalry, how can we catch up, don't you see that the soldiers under his command are already tired, how to pursue." β
"Don't worry, as long as Jia Rong flees in the direction of Jincheng, it's only a matter of time before we catch up with him." Geng Yu said neither humbly nor arrogantly, for Cheng Qiu, Geng Yu is not as afraid as the county lieutenants of the two foreign counties, the Geng family is famous in the whole Liangzhou, and Geng is even more expensive as the pastor of Liangzhou.
Cheng Qiu's brows furrowed, stretched out for a long time, and said: "Okay, Geng County Commander is the most relieved, so I will move forward at full speed to pursue Jia Rong, and I will tell you the truth." β
Geng Yu didn't seem to understand the other meaning of Cheng Qiu's words, and said lightly: "Thank you for your praise, I will gather soldiers to pursue Jia Rong." β
Looking at the departing Geng Yu, a fierce color flashed from Cheng Qiu's eyes, and then returned to clarity, if Geng Yu is missing, he Cheng Qiu also has a lot of trouble, the most important thing at present is to pursue Jia Rong, to be able to achieve the position of governance, Cheng Qiu of course understands the priorities, Geng Yu can say so, there must be something to rely on.
"Geng County Order, there is a lack of cavalry in the army, and I also ask Geng County Commander to send out the cavalry under his command to inquire about the news, and keep abreast of the direction of Jia Rong and others."
Geng Yu promised without the slightest hesitation, which made Cheng Qiu a little surprised, and the gaze that looked at Geng Yu also contained a trace of respect.
"Geng Yu is arrogant, but he has a big picture and is shrewd, so he is a talent." Cheng Qiu thought secretly.
"General, Cheng Qiu led the army only ten miles away from our army." Scout fast malay newspaper.
Glancing at the blood stains on the scout's body, Jia Rong asked with concern, "What? Met an enemy? β
The scout knelt down on one knee and bowed: "I met Cheng Qiujun's scout and was solved by his subordinates." β
Jia Rong nodded and said, "Pay attention to safety." β
The scout's body was obvious for a while, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Thank you for the general's concern, my subordinates will definitely do their best, Cheng Qiujun's scout is vulnerable." "The general's concern is very useful to ordinary soldiers, they fight at the front line, they do their best, and the general's light words of concern are enough to make them risk their lives.
"Tell the soldiers to prepare and continue on their way." Jia Rong sat on the ground leisurely and said, without the slightest sense of urgency when the big war came, Jia Rong's relaxed attitude affected the soldiers under his command.
"No!" Jiang Yu hurriedly took the order and left.
Cheng Qiujun is full of infantry, although he has been chasing hard for a few days, he has never been able to catch up with the pace of Jia Rong and his party, and Jia Rongjun is injured a lot, walking and stopping, Cheng Qiujun can catch up in time every time, but as long as Cheng Qiujun appears within ten miles, Jia Rong will immediately lead the soldiers to continue to flee, a pursuit battle has become a tug of war, back and forth, the soldiers of Cheng Qiubu are tired, and it is still a little difficult for two-legged people and four-legged war horses to race.
Now it is summer, and the forage of the war horse is not worried, although the food is not as good as usual, and the war horse will not be picky eater after a long run.
As soon as Jia Rong came to the army, he saw Ma Chao running in his direction, and couldn't help but stop.
"Chao'er, why are you so flustered?" Jia Rong habitually called Ma Chao Chao'er, those who don't know still think that Ma Chao is Jia Rong's son, Ma Teng has no opinion on this, since he plans to do things in Xiliangjun, the more Jia Rong values Ma Chao, the happier Ma Teng is.
Ma Chao panted and said, "Uncle, Miss Wei is awake." β
At Jia Rong's request, Ma Chao was very obedient and called Uncle every time he saw Jia Rong, which was also obtained under the condition that Jia Rong promised to give Ma Chao a war horse.
Jia Rong's expression was stunned for a long time, and it took a long time to react and ask, "But Wei Fu woke up?" β
Ma Chao nodded affirmatively.
Jia Rong turned around and ran all the way in the direction of the carriage, leaving Ma Chao with a stunned face, running and running, Jia Rong found that the corners of his eyes were a little moist, a woman can do so much for herself, what more can a husband ask for, all kinds of worries in the past are thrown out of the clouds, what family and what is competing for domination of the world, it is not important to cherish the person in front of him.
Wei Fu had just woken up, and his face was not as rosy as before.
As soon as he got into the carriage, Jia Rong noticed at a glance that Wei Fu, who had just woken up and was still a little pale, knelt in front of Wei Fu's couch regardless of his image, and took Wei Fu's hands and kept looking.
Wei Fu just struggled slightly, and then relieved, she liked this feeling of being valued by Jia Rong very much, for a moment, she felt that this sword was actually nothing, Wei Fu reached out and touched Jia Rong's face with some difficulty, and asked in a difficult tone: "Big brother, why are you crying?" β
Jia Rong felt a sour feeling in his heart, and tears flowed down like beads with broken threads.
rubbed his sleeve indiscriminately, and said in a choked tone: "Big brother, this is happy, so happy." β
"Fu'er, are you hungry?" Jia Rong said with concern.
"Hmm." Wei Fu nodded lightly, his face was full of happiness, Jia Rong could shed tears for himself, Wei Fu felt doubly warm, which showed that Jia Rong really cared about himself.
"Bring some food." Jia Rong was afraid of frightening Wei Fu, so he stretched his head out of the carriage and shouted.
Fortunately, it was noon at this time, and the soldiers had just finished eating, and Ma Teng's family hurriedly sent the food over when they heard the words.
Jia Rong brought the food sent, saw that it was a bowl of gruel, and showed a dissatisfied look, then remembered the situation in the army, and stopped the scolding words.
"Fu'er, there is nothing to eat in the army now, eat a little gruel first, and when you return to Jincheng, Big Brother will invite you to eat something delicious." Jia Rong kept stirring the hot porridge with a spoon and said softly.
Wei Fu nodded obediently and looked at Jia Rong with shyness in his eyes.
Jia Rong scooped up the gruel and sent it to Wei Fu's mouth, and just touched the porridge, Wei Fu screamed softly.
Jia Rong felt the heat of the porridge and said embarrassedly: "It's the eldest brother who is too stupid." After speaking, he blew the hot porridge with his mouth and sent it to Wei Fu's lips again.
The corners of Wei Fu's eyes were red, he swallowed the spoon and swallowed it with difficulty, the gruel is not delicious, on the contrary, it is difficult to drink, but Jia Rong personally came to feed, Wei Fu felt that this was the best porridge in the world, a bowl of gruel, with tears in the tears, no matter how Jia Rong asked, Wei Fu always shook his head and said nothing.
When Jia Rong finished feeding a bowl of gruel, it was already a quarter of an hour later.
Looking at the tired look on Wei Fu's face, Jia Rong said with concern: "Fu'er rest early, I'll come back later." β
Wei Fu glanced at Jia Rong reluctantly, closed his eyes in a flash, and Jia Rong pulled the quilt on Wei Fu's body.
"You did a good job, if you have any conditions, I will try my best to meet you." Stepping out of the carriage, Jia Rong said to the doctor who was standing quietly aside.
The doctor's excited lips kept trembling, and he bowed: "Thank you for the kindness of the general!" After knowing Jia Rong's specific identity, the doctor understood the weight of Jia Rong's seemingly casual words, and the hard work of many days was worth it.
Jia Rong nodded, and hurried to the army, the military situation was urgent, and there was no room for sloppiness, Wei Fu woke up, Jia Rong felt a lot more relieved, and the irritability of being chased by Cheng Qiu for days was also swept away.
The group quickly threw Cheng Qiu far away, leaving Cheng Qiu only with dense horseshoe prints.
"General, five miles ahead of the enemy, about 1,500 people, the banner of the army is "Geng". The scout brought the news from the front.
After Jia Rong nodded to indicate that he knew, his expression gradually turned solemn, the march was only five days, and he encountered four enemy armies, needless to say that these troops were all Geng Contempt's men and horses, and guessed the route of his escape in advance, this Geng Cong was by no means a general.
"Why are there so many troops surnamed Geng." Jia Rong secretly slandered his abdomen, it seems that Geng Cong is not as weak as he imagined.
In Liangzhou, those surnamed Geng and hold great power must have a lot to do with Geng.
"Ma Teng, you lead the army to find out." Jia Rong ordered.
Ma Teng selected more than 100 cavalry from the army and hurried away under the leadership of the scouts.
"Brother Jiang, what do you think about this matter?" Regarding this matter, Jia Rong had a premonition.
Jiang Yu's high position in the Xiliang army is not only because they originally followed Jia Rong's old man, but also because Jiang Yu has good skills in both governing the army and fighting, so he can convince the public.
"In my humble opinion, there must be a lot of enemy troops ahead, otherwise Cheng Qiu would not have led the soldiers to follow our army closely for many days, and his intention was obvious, let the soldiers in front entangle us, and then Cheng Qiu led the army to completely surround us" Jiang Yu pondered for a moment and said slowly.
Jia Rong nodded, Jiang Yu's analysis was very reasonable, especially Cheng Qiu's reaction, using infantry to pursue the cavalry, unless the head was funny, the only possibility was that Cheng Qiu had something to rely on
"Which direction do you two think we should go?" Jia Rong unfolded the map and asked.
Zhang Zhi Jiang Yu squatted down and looked at the map carefully.
After a long time, he pointed to the northeast direction with his eyes shining and said: "General, if we retreat in this direction, the enemy will definitely not think of it, and then we will return to Beidi County from Wuwei County." β
"Even if they thought of it, they wouldn't chase it." Jia Rong said lightly.
βweishenmeοΌβ Zhang Zhi asked.
"Because it's a desert, even if an army walks in, it may not be able to come out, don't you see that this is marked as a place of death?" Jia Rong explained.
If there is no enough preparation, rashly stepping into the desert, the only end is the annihilation of the whole army, the liliang of nature should not be underestimated, and this section of the road to the desert is separated by Pu Lai County, as long as Pu Lai County is a little prepared, it is impossible to pass, the left and right of Pula County is the famous Great Wall, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as the city gate is closed, only Jia Rong and these people do not want to enter it.
This week, everyone will work together, collect more, push the iron horse again, and cheer together!
