49, goat tricks
The two dangerous roads that are so close to each other have heavy troops and are close to the strong enemy Qin State. If the two guards collude with each other, let the Qin army enter the country privately, or even rebel, it will become a big trouble for the king of Chu.
But at the moment, the two people who hate each other are arranged to guard Lingxiao Pass separately, and there is no need for special advice from the King of Chu, they will automatically and consciously monitor each other, eager to catch a mistake and trample each other under their feet. In order not to give the other party such a chance, they themselves will be doubly conscientious.
At this time, half of the soldiers and horses of Hangu Pass had already begun to march towards Wind City. The army marched to a narrow mountain road and suddenly came to a standstill. Yan Xing summoned the flag soldier who led the way, and asked impatiently, "What's wrong?" ”
The flag soldier's answer made him laugh and cry: "General, the road ahead is full of sheep. ”
"Useless stuff! A few sheep will make you lose your mind. Yan Xing rushed to the front of the team, as soon as he raised his eyes, he himself was stupid, the mountain road was crowded with sheep, not to mention hundreds, blocking the narrow passage to death, let alone running horses, it was difficult to walk alone.
At the other end of the flock, a man and a woman sat on a buffalo, both wearing hats and covering their faces, like a brother and sister. The man sat in front of him, his trousers hooked and rolled up, and his straw sandals were covered with mud. The girl in the back sat on her side, with straw sandals hooked on her feet, swinging on the back of the cow, singing a mountain song with a bright voice.
Yan Xing pointed with a horsewhip: "What are you doing here?" ”
The men and women on the back of the cow are Han Chong and Mo Yu, who have changed their outfits. Hearing his question, Mo Yu stopped singing, Han Chong deliberately rubbed his ears and said in a Chu dialect accent: "What did you say?" Too far away to hear that. ”
Yan Xing glared angrily, the whip slammed on the ground, and he opened his throat and shouted: "I said you two, what's going on with this pile of sheep?" "Yan Xing can sit in today's position, not all because of the protection of the old master, he also has some real skills, at least this strength and voice, few people can compare.
"Huh? What did you say? Han Chong had already heard it clearly, but he deliberately asked again.
Yan Xing was furious, if it weren't for the pile of sheep, he would have kicked this mud leg off the back of the cow a long time ago. He was full of luck and shouted: "This pile of sheep!" Where did it come from?? Speak!! ”
Sheep are naturally timid and easily frightened, or how to describe a timid person as a little sheep. It was good that he didn't shout, and as soon as he shouted, the sheep immediately stirred uneasily. The snow-white clumps were scurrying around, and they kept making "bleating" sounds.
The cry of one sheep is not loud, but hundreds of sheep cry together, the sound is really unbearable. These sheep don't know how long they haven't been brushed, and the smell of sheep is mixed with the smell of mud, how bad it smells, and it makes people more and more upset. Already sheep began to rush and even run in the direction where the army had stopped.
The soldiers hurriedly stopped him, but the sheep was in a hurry, and pointed at the man with his horns. As soon as he stopped this one and put it back, the other one rushed over again, and the people and sheep were in chaos.
Needless to say, Yan Xing was angry, but he was full of fire and couldn't send it out, and the two people on the opposite side couldn't reach it, and the pile of sheep in front of him was ...... Who can fight a bunch of unaware brutes.
Han Chong smiled, revealing a mouthful of white and neat teeth: "General, it's not okay for you to be so loud, this sheep is the least daring, and he can't stop it if he is really shocked." ”
"You ......" Yan Xinggang wanted to have a seizure, remembering the chaotic scene just now, he just suppressed his voice, "What do you say?" ”
Han Chong jumped down from the back of the ox: "Oh, general, what's the matter with you, write a note and send it over, and I'll call you back." The voices of our brother and sister are already familiar with this pile of sheep, so don't shout anymore. ”
Yan Xing was patient, took a silk cloth and wrote a sentence, tied it to an arrow and shot it. Clusters of arrows flew across Han Chong's scalp and pinned to the trunk of a tree behind him. Han Chong lay on the ground with an "oops" and got up for a long time. The speed of this arrow was extremely fast, and he was intent on giving Han Chong a dismount, but Han Chong couldn't see his thoughts, and deliberately cooperated with him in an extremely exaggerated manner.
Mo Yu also slipped off the cow's back, took off the silk cloth and handed it to Han Chong. He took the silk cloth and looked left and right, turned it upside down, and looked at the sunlight again, and then said in embarrassment: "General, I forgot to say, I can't read, can you draw a picture?" ”
Yan Xing almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth: "You are interested in entertaining me, aren't you?" At the peak of his anger, he was puzzled, these two people did not know where they came from, and they could not tell where they were going. There are so many sheep, which is not something that ordinary farmers can make together. These two people look silly and stupid, but if you think about it carefully, they all look like they are deliberately pretending to be like this.
He called a small soldier and deliberately raised his voice to speak, so that Han Chong could hear him: "You go, tell them to drive this pile of sheep back the way they came, and wait for our army to pass before letting them continue to move forward." He took out a silver ingot from his bosom and shook it: "Give them this as compensation." ”
The little soldier was about to pass through the flock, but Yan Xing lowered his voice and ordered: "Kill the two of them in the past, and the sheep will slowly find a way to disperse." ”
No matter who sent them or what their idea is, kill them first.
The hard-working little soldier did not dare to disobey the commander's orders, and plunged into the flock of sheep with difficulty. The flocks of sheep were huddled together one by one, and strangers crowded in, and the sheep instinctively came closer, screaming and hugging to express their displeasure with the intruder. The small soldiers are neither advancing nor retreating, and they are almost trapped in the middle.
Han Chong and Mo Yu exchanged a look, and the time was almost up. They took a prepared rope from the edge of the flock and lit it with a fire fold. There was a "whew" sound, and the rope itself was soaked in vegetable oil and quickly burned. The entire second half of the flock was tied to the tail by this rope, and the fire was equivalent to burning on the tail of each sheep.
Previously, the flock was so dense that no one paid attention to the rope. Now the fire is all together, and the sheep rush forward like crazy. The mountain road was already very narrow, and the soldiers and horses did not have time to retreat, and the people behind did not know what was really happening in front of them, and the whole team fell into chaos. I don't know how many people were trampled by horses' hooves, and many people were pierced through the chest and abdomen by the horns of mad sheep.
Yan Xing was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother, so many sheep were tied together by ropes, and they couldn't be driven away, and they couldn't finish killing, and they saw that their soldiers were seriously killed and injured. He shouted: "No one is allowed to retreat, give me arrows!" Shoot the arrows! ”
Well-trained soldiers, quickly recovering from the chaos, the cavalry retreated, and the archers stepped forward and shot the flock. No one noticed that the pair of "brother and sister" who were originally driving sheep had disappeared at some point.
By the time the sheep had been killed and the team had been regrouped, it was getting late. was delayed by a flock of sheep for a day, and Yan Xing had to be more aggrieved. The soldiers are very fast, and the difference of this day may mean that it is impossible to catch up with the pace of the garrison at Lingxiao Pass.
He whipped the whip hatefully, and the army was rushed like this, even if it barely caught up, its combat effectiveness would not be as good as before. The predetermined battle plan was completely disrupted.
……
In the capital of Qin, Xiao Zhen was looking at the news sent by the Golden Eagle Guard. The two rode together...... Walking together during the day and sleeping in the same room at night...... Every word pierced him like a needle. The day Mo Yu left came to mind, and she was on a horse, her eyes bright and clear. The horse carried her across the wall, and Han Chong just jumped down and landed behind her, reaching over her waist and pulling the reins.
Xiao Yu has never shown such a look to herself, even when the two are right, she has never been, there has never been that kind of trust, tacit understanding, and there has never been such a frank acquaintance and intersection.
How many halves is her heart divided into? There is Su Qian and Han Chong in it, why is there no place for Xiao Zhen?
"One day, you belong to Xiao Zhen alone." He put the secret letter he received on the fire candle and burned it, and instructed the shadow outside the window, "Make sure that she enters the Shouchun Palace safely, and there must be no mistakes." ”
On the table is a portrait of a man with a skirt fluttering, but only his eyes have not yet been painted.
That day, Xiao Zhen tore up the painting in a fit of rage, but after Xiao Yu left, the huge sense of emptiness almost drained his strength, and he put the pieces together little by little to reassemble the painting. He lifted the pen, closed his eyes and silently recalled, and when he put down the pen again, a pair of bright and moving eyes were added to the portrait.
With these eyes, the person in the portrait seems to come to life all of a sudden. Xiao Zhen's fingers stroked "her" eyebrows, and seemed to hear her blinking and saying, "Hazelnut...... I love hazelnuts ......"
