Chapter 23 is a soldier or a thief
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It is Xun's high-secret edict, guarded by more than 100 Cao soldiers and served as honor guards - most of the places passed through are the territory of the Cao family, although there is a small section of the Yuan family's land, but the Yuan family and the Cao family are still allies, so what they have to deal with on the road is just some bandits and grass robbers who are not long-eyed, and there is no need to bring too many people to avoid the Yuan family misunderstanding. Most of these more than 100 people were foot soldiers, with only two or three horses, so they could not send detectives and sentinels from afar, and only three or five people went out of the queue for about a mile first, just to talk about vigilance.
According to him, he encountered thieves in the narrow part of the road ahead, and the other party did not sign up or rush to kill, but only occupied a high place and fired arrows from a distance. His companion, one of whom had been shot in the leg, was bandaged and rested by the roadside for the time being, and he came back first to report it.
Shi Xun stopped everyone, turned his head and asked the soldier again: "You have not signed up, nor have you rushed to kill, how do you know that you are a thief?" The soldier was stunned for a moment, and replied: "The villain saw the figure and appearance of several of them, all of them were dressed as civilians. ”
It is Xun Xin who said that there are many kinds of civilian armed men, such as the courtyard of the mansion, the powerful Zhuang soldiers, the villagers of the village and town joint protection, the wandering rangers, and the terrorists who commit suicide attacks...... Well, the last one hasn't been there yet, but when a soldier takes off his armor and robes, doesn't he look like a civilian?
He subconsciously glanced at Wang Xiu. When Wang Xiu heard the news, he breathed a sigh of relief, but when he saw Shi Xun's eyes glancing over, he hurriedly pretended to be surprised, and interjected and asked, "Where did this thief come from?!" But his play was so fake that Shixun couldn't help but give a big middle finger in his heart, and then asked the soldier again: "They just release arrows." Didn't chase you and so on? ”
"No, I didn't."
"How many are there?" The creep groaned. "Judging by the density of the arrows," he replied. About forty or fifty, but the villain vaguely saw that there were still people with swords and spears, I am afraid that there were no less than 100 people, all of whom were defending according to the danger, and it was difficult to attack. ”
Sun Wen drove, Xun and Zheng Xuan took the car, and then one left and one right, Wang Xiu and Lu Su. All on horseback. At that moment, Lu Su whipped the horse: "Wait for a certain to see what is going on." Shi Xun hurriedly shouted behind him: "Zijing be careful!" Lu Su turned his head and smiled at him: "Hongfu Xiu is a weak man." ”
It was Xun Xin who said I know you can fight. According to the records of the historical books, Lu Su once escaped from Dongcheng with his family in order to avoid Yuan Shu's call, and went to the nest to join Zhou Yu, and the state soldiers came to chase him. But the problem is that you don't have any armor on your body now, and you don't have weapons in your hands. The other party is just shooting arrows from a distance, and if you are not careful, you will shoot arrows through your body. Yang Zaixing is no better than you can fight. Didn't you become a hedgehog too? It's a pity that this example can't be cited to Lu Su.
Lu Su went quickly, and Shixun couldn't stop him at all. Turning his head to look at Zheng Xuan, he saw that the old master was still sitting in the car with his eyes slightly closed, no different from when he was usually in a hurry, like an ancient well, without waves. He just wanted to ask Zheng Xuan what to do, but Zheng Xuan seemed to be able to read minds, and he didn't open his eyes, so he said: "Xuan Fei can also be in battle, and everything on the way will listen to Shaofu." ”
It's Xun Xin who said that you are "not the one who can be in battle", am I the one? Being on the battlefield and being able to lead troops and fighting are two different things. He smiled bitterly in his heart, but his expression was not revealed, but he turned his head to look at Wang Xiu again: "What does the prince think should be done?" ”
Wang Xiu said: "If it is really a thief blocking the way, I am afraid that I will not be able to continue to advance, and I will either retreat or go around to the north of the mountain." "It's Xun Xin who said to go back, then it's really as you wish, as for the detour - Shanbei is Linqu City, which is completely the territory of your Yuan family, and I don't know what demon moths you can play at that time." Besides, the Yuan family is a resourceful person, if they want to leave Zheng Xuan justifiably, there may not be no good way, they are expensive this time, and they are caught off guard, if they go around in a circle and delay the trip, there will probably be an order from Yecheng to come to Qingzhou - no, I have to go from here today!
The time was short, Lu Su turned around and went back-he didn't dare to go deep at all, plus he was also proficient in archery, of course, he would not be shot by the enemy lightly--said to Shixun: "Although the mountain is not high, the danger is occupied by the enemy, according to Su's estimate, there are no less than three or five hundred people, and they are well-armed, and they are not ordinary mountain bandits." Even if there is a duel on the plains, our army has no chance of winning......" He glanced at Wang Xiu as he spoke, which meant that unless the Qingzhou soldiers were willing to help, of course, it was unlikely.
Lu Su finally analyzed: "The intention of watching the enemy is to block me, not to pass, and there is no tendency to go down the mountain to cover up and kill." ”
It was Xun Xin who said that I guessed that this was the case, and immediately looked at Wang Xiu: "There is such a bandit in Qingzhou, can the prince know about it?" Wang Xiu spread his hands and said I don't know, since my lord entered Qingzhou, the original yellow turbans, remnant soldiers, and strong and strong Ding Zhuang, there are a lot of troublemakers, who knows which one this is.
Shi Xun sneered: "Where did the rats come from, they dare to block the angel car." I'll wait and show a big banner, discharge the guard of honor, and see if they dare to release arrows again! He estimated that this was the soldiers and horses sent by Yuan Tan temporarily, disguised as bandits, just to block the way - what if we insisted on rushing forward? They shouldn't dare to really hurt themselves and Zheng Xuan.
Wang Xiu was shocked when he heard this, and grabbed Shi Xun's wrist: "Hongfu and slow!" This...... Thieves are prevalent in Qingzhou, although Hongfu is suspicious, he is afraid that he is really a thief, and he is instigated by others...... "He can't say it too clearly, the basic meaning is: How do you know that these thieves are disguised by officers and soldiers?" Can't it really be a thief, who was bought by someone sent by Qingzhou? If it's really a thief, then he may not care about your and Zheng Xuan's lives!
Ah, I didn't expect this from Xunxin, but fortunately Uncle Wang reminded you - of course, it could also be deception and intimidation. However, looking at Wang Xiu's expression, he may not be clear about the ambush in this place. I could guess that it was Qingzhou's plan, and Wang Xiu could also guess it, so he showed a little relaxed expression at first, but Yuan Tan's meticulous deployment, Wang Xiu has been following him these days, maybe he hasn't been able to receive a notice yet?
What to do? Just retreat? It is impossible to return to the Zheng family, and the only way to do this is to go to Shanbei for now, although it may lead to more trouble later, it is only a move, there is no reason to gamble with the lives of himself and Zheng Xuan, and the other party does not dare to start.
Shi Xun has also been pondering along the way, and has secretly discussed with Lu Su many times, saying that Yuan Shao's father and son may play some tricks to prevent Zheng Xuan from going to Xu? Lu Su said that I am not familiar with the situation in Qingzhou, and I can't say it well, and the most likely plan is to set up a group of soldiers and horses to disguise thieves to block the road, so that at most I will be reprimanded by the imperial court for failing to calm the place. The Yuan family will definitely not really tear their faces with the court at this time, but if the court scolds casually, they will completely ignore it and don't care at all.
It was Xun who thought about it, there was no reason for the Yuan family to openly obstruct the angel's edict and not let Zheng Xuan go to Xu, otherwise he would be scolded and laughed at by the world's corporals. Yuan Benchu was under the banner of the general of the Han Dynasty and the old bureaucrat of the fourth and third dukes, and he may not be able to bear this kind of pressure from public opinion, and there is no need to carry it for the sake of a Zheng Xuan. The only thing he can do may be to send people to pretend to be thieves to block the road - just like Liu Yan sent Zhang Lu to occupy Hanzhong, saying that "rice thieves block the way" and abandoning his official tribute.
Of course, the Yuan family's strategists have so many tricks, and they may be able to come up with the best of both worlds, but it takes time to convey instructions, at least what Yuan Tan can play at the moment is what Xun and Lu Su can think of, and this is the only trick.
Therefore, it was not strange for him to meet a thief when he went forward, and he was not even afraid at first, believing that Yuan Tan did not have the courage to really hurt himself and Zheng Xuan. But Wang Xiu reminded him that Yuan Tan was in a hurry, and I was afraid that it would not be convenient to transfer troops to disguise the thieves, so it was very likely that he sent someone to contact the bandits who were already in this area, and promised a heavy reward for them to help block the road. There is no limit to what these thieves can do, and who knows if they will kill them as soon as they commit a crime?
So, should you take this risk?
He was meditating hard here, and when he lowered his head, he found that what was the matter, Wang Xiu, you are still holding my wrist. If you want to stop me, you have to rely on your reminders, and it's useless to rely on the handle, even if you have a little more strength than me...... Well? He suddenly thought about it, shook his wrist, flipped his palm, and grabbed Wang Xiu's wrist.
"Prince, you and I will go to investigate together, okay?"
Wang Xiu was shocked when he heard this: "Hongfu, don't take risks!" "It's Xun Xin who said that if I take the risk alone, then I won't kill anyone, and I'll talk about it if you go with you. At the moment, Sun Wen understood, turned over and got out of the carriage, and while Shixun was still pulling Wang Xiu's wrist, he grabbed Wang Xiu's waist with one hand, and at the same time held Wang Xiu's reins with the other hand. Wang Xiu felt a strong force coming from his waist, pinching himself so that he was sore, and he couldn't get rid of it at all-"Hongfu, you ......"
Shi Xun also got out of the car, asked Lu Su to borrow a horse to step on, and smiled slightly: "The prince is surprised, Xun and the prince are in one place." "Wang Xiuxin said that I was surprised just because you wanted to go with me. He didn't want to obey, but Sun Wen was powerful, so he led the horse, pinched his waist, followed behind Shi Xun, and went straight to the front.
It didn't go far, but it was estimated that it was more than half a mile, and the road bent slightly, and suddenly became narrow, and Shixun saw a few feathered arrows inserted in the ground. He immediately grabbed his mount and shouted, "Where are you from, how dare you stop the angel's chariot?!" ”
According to the old rules, Sun Wen did the same, and repeated Shixun's words again at the top of his throat. I only heard someone on the cliff on the left shouting: "Stop, go further, don't blame me for waiting!" ”
Shi Xun shouted again: "Call the leader of your waiting group to come out and talk!" But the other party did not respond.
Shi Xun raised his hand and pointed: "This is the prince of Qingzhou Zhizhong, this will ride with a certain horse, if you want to release arrows, shoot it, if you hurt the prince, I am afraid that Yuan Qingzhou will resolutely refuse to give up, and will send a large army to exterminate you, and the jade will be burned!"
