Chapter 143 Rushing to the state capital in one day What is there to testify
The horse was not bolted, so he let it eat grass there, and Chu Yang felt hungry after watching it for a while, so he went to the stream and drank some water, and looked up at the sky for less than three minutes, and he had not eaten anything.
Looking at the incomparably clear, trickling stream, Chu Yang said to himself: "It's good to have a fish to cushion my stomach, but if the water is clear, there is no fish, this water is bright and clear like a mirror, what can I do?" ”
I searched around again, hoping to find pheasants and hares, but after some searching, I didn't see even a single hair, and finally I had no choice but to go hungry.
When the horse was full of grass and water, Chu Yang stepped up again, and whipped in the direction of the state capital.
Chuyang has walked back and forth, this time the journey can be said to be familiar with the road, and the ride has arrived at Hequan County in less than an hour, along the way Chuyang is covered with armor, carrying a spear and hanging a sword, where to go is naturally attracting attention.
But Chu Yang completely ignored this, how could he care about other people's eyes when the war was near, he looked at the sky and saw that it was still early, and felt that he could go forward for a while, so he walked forward in the city for a while.
When the sun was about to set, Chu Yang found a restaurant near the north gate of Hequan to fill his stomach, and originally planned to stay in Hequan City for one night, but he thought that the war was urgent, so he did not delay any longer, only found a shop nearby that bought and sold leather objects, bought a water bladder and filled it with water, and then rode out of Hequan City and went north.
After walking for another hour, it was already dark, and Chu Yang dismounted to prepare for a rest, originally planning to rest in the field for a night, but when he stroked the armor on his body, he thought to himself that the lord was suffering, how could he be so embarrassed to be so relaxed!
When he decided to rush to the state capital tonight, he met with Lu Hang.
After a short rest, Chu Yang got back on the horse, and he patted the horse's back and said, "Thank you for your hard work." ”
As if he understood Chu Yang's words, Jian Ma raised his front hooves and galloped towards the state capital with a long neigh.
Two quarters of an hour later, Chu Yang finally arrived at the city of Qiaozhou Mansion, and from afar you could see that the city gate was closed, and the city tower was full of rows of halberd-wielding soldiers holding torches high.
After arriving at the city, without waiting for Chu Yang to speak, the city guard of the city gate put a city gate captain into the torch and asked Chu Yang: "Who is the one who is wearing armor and carrying a silver spear under the city?"
Chu Yang sat on his horse and rushed to the city tower with his fists and said, "Fang Jie." ”
After hearing this, the city tower whispered, "Who is Fang Jie?" "I don't know, I haven't heard of it." "Judging by his outfit, he should be a general." ”
Chu Yang listened to all the discussions on the city tower, and without waiting for them to ask, Chu Yang took the lead in replying: "Under the lord's account, ask General Kou." ”
Although what Chu Yang said was the truth, no matter how he said it, he had never been to the barracks, let alone told the soldiers, and the soldiers guarding the gate upstairs naturally didn't know, or the captain of the city gate asked, "Is there a proof?"
At that time, he just wanted to go back to lead the troops to investigate the nearby county town as soon as possible, and he didn't even have time to carve the fish talisman that could prove his general.
The captain of the city gate upstairs thought that Chu Yang hadn't heard, so he leaned forward again, held the torch high and asked again, "The soldiers downstairs may prove it?"
After asking, he waved back, and two rows of soldiers suddenly stood on both sides of his body, each holding a longbow in his hand and stretching the bow body for a full moon, and the arrow pointed directly at Chu Yang under the city, as long as Chu Yang couldn't come up with any evidence, he would be shot to death under the city gate.
Just when Chu Yang was thinking about how to prove it, the torch held high by the captain of the city gate was directly reflected on his armor, and under the reflection, Chu Yang had to stretch out his hand to block his eyes, at this time Chu Yang suddenly reacted, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The shoulder armor on my body is a gift from the lord, and the general upstairs may recognize it?"
The captain of the city gate squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the armor on Chu Yang's body, and recalled that it was indeed the armor that Lu Hang wore back then, but this kind of thing is not the only one in the world, it is difficult to guarantee whether it is a replica, and now in wartime, for the sake of prudence, he continued to ask: "Everything in armor can be purchased, does the general have any other proof?"
Chu Yang just wanted to refute after hearing this, but after thinking about it, what he said was right, not to mention that now that the war is imminent, if Chu Yang is easily let into the city, and there are thousands of troops hiding behind him, and they will be killed together when the city gate is opened, then who can afford this sin?
Seeing that Chu Yang couldn't reply for a long time, he thought about the armor on his body, the armor couldn't prove that he was the general under Lu Hang's account, but he couldn't easily kill him either, what if he was really it?
It was really difficult to decide, and in the end, for the sake of prudence, the captain of the city gate temporarily ordered the crossbowman to put down the bow and arrow in his hand, and said to Chu Yang: "Since the general has no proof, it is better to wait for Tianming to treat me before letting the general enter the city, how about the general's respect?"
Chu Yang had no choice but to nod his head in agreement, and said to the captain of the city gate upstairs: "That's fine, thank the general first." ”
The captain of the city gate nodded and retreated to the upper pavilion, Chu Yang had no choice but to dismount, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I am still going to enter the city tonight, but I still have to stay in the field for the night." ”
Now that he has arrived at the castle tower, there is no need to continue to wear this heavy armor, Chu Yang untied the sword at his waist and put it on the horse, wanting to take off the armor on his body, and when he took off the armor and put it on the horse, the sword was touched to the ground by the armor.
Chu Yang turned to the other side and bent down to pick up the sword, and at this time a bag fell out of his arms, and the moment he saw the bag, his eyes suddenly glowed, and he copied the bag from the ground.
Chu Yang took two steps back, and shouted upstairs while unpacking the bag: "Is the general still there? I have something to prove!"
As soon as he finished shouting, he saw the captain of the city gate leaning out, and shouted at Chuyang and asked, "What is it?"
Chu Yang took out the contents of the bag after opening it, held it high and pointed it at the city gate, and the captain shouted: "I have the tiger talisman used by the lord to transfer troops, can it be used as evidence?"
The captain of the city gate carefully looked at the talisman held high by Chu Yang, and let Chu Yang flip over and look at the back, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened after making sure that it was correct.
The lieutenant clasped his fist at Chu Yang and said: "The big battle is imminent, the matter of guarding the city gate is not allowed to be relieved, where it has just been offended, look at General Haihan, don't be surprised." ”
Chu Yang put on his armor again, and said back to the captain of the city gate: "Where does the general say, the general does not open the city gate easily, but is loyal to his duties, and the soldiers under the lord should take the general as a model, how dare I blame it!"
The captain looked at Chu Yang and felt a trace of admiration, he was able to become a general at a young age, and he could also hold the assassination talisman in his hand, and he was magnanimous, and he would definitely be able to ascend to a high position in the future!
After quickly putting on his armor and re-attaching his sword, Chu Yang stepped on his horse, rushed upstairs to the city gate, hugged his fist, and rushed into the city with his horse's belly.
From the time he was under the castle, Chu Yang looked around, and did not find any signs of military horses stationed, so he guessed that all of them had entered the city, which made him have a lot of fear, 38,000 people plus 11,000 people in the city, that is 49,000 people!
If all these nearly 50,000 men and horses were stationed in the city, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people, and then there would be no more riots!
On the way to the Thorn Mansion, Chu Yang observed all around at the same time, hoping that there would be no shadow of a large number of military horses moving in the city!
If you don't meet the enemy, the people will rebel first, and you will be defeated before you fight!
