Chapter 070: Back to the cottage
The traffic at the end of the Han Dynasty can really turn a traveler from modern society into an otaku, especially when it is dark at night, the kind of road conditions that you don't know if you can take it back when you step out are enough to toss people to death.
However, although this road condition interfered with Link's march towards Castle Castle, it also left his followers far behind.
That's right, someone is tracking Link, and it's above board. It was the person left by Sun Gan, and it was regarded as guarding him so that he wouldn't find the Link people when Liu Bei arrived.
Link was disgusted by this, and he felt that it was disrespectful to his privacy, although he didn't know where it was. Out of the county, he ran all the way, people in this era, more or less because of salt and suffered from night blindness, in the deep foot shallow road conditions, naturally he was gradually thrown away.
According to the memory of the original owner, today is the day when Sun Tianming destroyed the cottage. Although some people in the cottage followed him, there were still some people left in the cottage.
I don't know if Sun Tianming will send someone to destroy the cottage today.
Either way, Link was going to check it out.
After a few more hills, Link specializes in running in places where humans can't go, he has a force value, naturally he can not be afraid of the beasts that haunt the mountains and forests at night, but he can't be afraid of the tracking, slowly, they also gave up tracking and turned back to the city when they couldn't keep up.
At this time, Sun Qian did not really leave the county seat, he was waiting for his trackers to come back and report.
When the official reaches the point of Sun Qian, that kind of city government is far from being understood by superficial people. When Link said the matter of the world, Sun Gan was indeed very surprised, and he was also excited by that remark at that time, but as soon as he calmed down, Sun Gan first suppressed the idea of going to Liu Bei immediately.
It takes time to identify whether a person is talented or not. At this time, Lin Ke, who was unknown at all, didn't even know his name in the county, even if Liu Bei invited him to the army, how could he convince others? Even Zhuge Liang relied on the huge family influence behind him to create his reputation as Wolong.
This is an era that focuses on fame and prestige, and even the lord like Sun Quan, who picks grass, is from a family, not to mention the people below.
Therefore, Sun Gan's attitude towards Link is to observe and observe first, and only after he has a certain understanding of this person will he recommend it to Liu Bei.
Just as he was thinking, the person who was tracking him came back and told him what was going on along the way.
After thinking about it, Sun Qian wrote a letter and asked his henchmen to go to Xinye overnight to bring it to Liu Bei, while he continued to prepare for the alliance between Jiang and Sun Wu.
Of course, Link didn't know all this, he only felt that with his own ability and the prophetic foresight of the traverser, he could get the treatment he deserved from Cao Cao by relying on his true talent and learning, but now, he only had the Qingshan Village in his heart.
He can't avenge the body of this body, he can't go to Cao Cao.
After galloping in the middle of the night, the Qingshan Village soon arrived in front of you, and the Qingshan Village, which was originally still popular, was empty at this time, and even wild beasts could run to the front of the mountain to block the road and hurt people, and it was no longer the lively when the brothers were there earlier.
Halfway up the mountain, Link decided to sneak in from the back mountain.
The cottage is still there, and the lights in front of the cottage are much dimmer than before, but after all, it still shows that there are people in the cottage.
I don't know where the men and horses sent by Sun Tianming are ambushed at this time, and they chose to sneak in from the back mountain, which is precisely to avoid this group of people and horses first.
Link thought about quietly solving the men and horses sent by Sun Tianming, and after solving the crisis for a group of old brothers, he found Sun Tianming and killed him with a knife. But then I thought about it, this can't be done, at least I have to let the brothers know the true face of Sun Tianming.
Let the officers and soldiers enter the village, and he will not be able to jump out until the men and horses on both sides are killed, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
In the cottage, there were less than a hundred people left, and there were dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled, it was late at night, most of them were also asleep, and when Link sneaked into the cottage, he actually found that the sentry sentry was snoring with wooden sticks sleeping.
Shaking his head, Link sighed: "It's better not to be vigilant like this!" ”
He didn't wake up the sentry, but walked around the cottage first, and when he found that the officers and soldiers sent by Sun Tianming had been ambushed, he didn't dare to continue to go deeper.
Coming to the grass in front of the cottage, only a few dozen feet away from the officers and soldiers, Link put down his bow and arrows, put the knife in his hand, and curled up waiting for the officers and soldiers to launch a sudden attack on the cottage.
Around the fifth watch, Link, who was nodding his head and falling asleep, heard the sound of birds coming from inside the cottage.
Before dawn, where are the birds calling?
Link suddenly fell asleep, picked up his bow and arrows, and carefully monitored the figure in the cottage walking outside.
It should have been a person he was very familiar with, but unfortunately, after possessing this body, Link never had the heart to deal with a group of bandits who called him brothers, and this favor gradually became estranged.
The man walked inside the gate and made a few more bird calls, and from the grass not far behind Link, there were also several similar bird calls.
Should the inside be combined with the outside?
Linka opened the bowstring and aimed it at the bandits who were slowly opening the gate.
Hundreds of soldiers quickly rushed out of the grass, and when they ran to the gate of the village, someone asked in a low voice: "Zhang Laosan, why did you come to open the door at this time?" Didn't you betray us? ”
Zhang Laosan, who opened the door of the village, hurriedly shouted: "My lord, the conscience of heaven and earth, I, Zhang Laosan, am loyal to Lord Sun, if it weren't for the stubborn resistance of these people who stayed in the cottage, they were always on guard that Lord Sun sent someone back to take the cottage again, and the villain also wanted to open the door for you earlier." ”
The leader of the soldiers snorted: "Delay the military plane, Zhang Laosan, are you guilty?" ”
Link loosened the bowstring, this traitor called Zhang Laosan, he didn't need to take action personally.
The sword light lit up, Zhang Laosan fell to the ground in response, and the leader of the officers and soldiers opened his mouth and was about to shout and order the general to go in, and Link's arrow arrived.
Capture the thief and capture the king first, no matter how mentally retarded Link is, he knows this truth, kill the leader first, and then it will be much easier.
He was right, but he ignored Liu Bei's army, which was the elite who had fought countless times with the armies of the princes of the Central Plains, not those copycat bandits who were casually handled by Link.
The leading lieutenant fell to the ground and died of an arrow, but the remaining soldiers did not panic, under the leadership of their respective captains, they took advantage of the darkness to lie in front of the gate of the village, and when Link jumped out of the grass, the soldiers' arrow rain arrived.
Fortunately, his physical fitness and reflexes were really excellent, and when he heard the sound of the bowstring vibrating, he knew that something bad was going to happen, so he rushed to a safe place in a panic, and the place where he was hiding just now was full of sharp feathered arrows.
This increasingly noisy change in the silent mountains still alarmed the bandits in the cottage.
The torches suddenly fought, and hundreds of even the old, weak, sick and disabled bandits came out of the cottage with knives, guns and shields, they were in good order, although the number of people was much less than before, but because the people who stayed were people who vaguely saw through Sun Tianming's sinister truth, they were more united.
The officers and soldiers retreated, and there were talented people among this group of officers and soldiers, and when they saw that there was a master hidden in the shadows, and the bravery and number of the bandits were not less than them, they resolutely retreated, without dragging their feet.
The bandits didn't dare to chase them out, but Link heard someone shouting to move out of Qingshanzhai, and even someone said the truth that this group of officers and soldiers was sent by Sun Tianming.
Among the bandits, there are also talents!
The person who told the truth said that within a radius of 100 miles nearby, only the county town had a large number of troops, and more than 100 people were dispatched to attack the cottage, and they were so orderly and unflustered, who could it be if it wasn't a regular official army in the county? And now that Qingshanzhai has been returned to the government, the government naturally has no reason to encircle and suppress it again, except for Sun Tianming, who wants to wipe out all the people who oppose him, no one will do this kind of thing again.
