Chapter 21: Impersonation
The procession continued to move forward, and the carriage heard the side of the road.
Qin Feng jumped off the horse and got into the carriage, Xiao Qiao's body was covered with a thick fur mattress, her eyes were closed, her cheeks were red, and she didn't know what to pout.
He reached out to touch Xiao Qiao's forehead, and sure enough, it was very hot, according to his experience, this fever level was at least thirty-nine degrees.
This is troublesome, there is no doctor in the army, if you don't give Xiao Qiao a doctor, I don't know if she can carry it.
He thought about it for a moment, pointed to the maid and instructed: "Go and get some snow water from a basin, put a towel in water on her forehead, and then boil some warm water and wipe her whole body up and down after camping!" ”
"No!"
After camping in the evening, Qin Feng went to see Xiao Qiao, who had already woken up.
"How? Does the fever go away? ”
The maid shook her head tremblingly.
Qin Feng stretched out his hand to touch Xiao Qiao's forehead, Xiao Qiao hurriedly retreated, and waved his hand, and screamed in his mouth: "Ah-go away!" ”
Qin Feng grabbed her hand with one hand, and the other reached out to forcibly touch her forehead, although it was not as hot as before, she was still in a state of high fever, and she was panting heavily.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, ······" Qin Feng couldn't help coughing violently at this time, he covered his mouth with his hand, and then took it away when the cough was over, but he saw a wisp of red in his palm.
Coughing up blood, Qin Feng suddenly felt bad, and it seemed that the internal injuries seemed to be aggravated.
"Wait for Miss Qiao to have a good rest, if her condition worsens at night, wipe her whole body with warm water, and I will find a doctor to treat her!" After Qin Feng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"No!"
Back at the big tent, Qin Feng thought for a while and sent someone to call Yang Hong and Yan Xiang.
"Two gentlemen, now our army is in a worrying situation, these days have been marching in the field for several days, the soldiers are a little tired, today there is a bloody battle with the Jiangdong army, although the morale of the soldiers is high, but the body is also more tired, there are nearly 100 wounded, now where should our army go, can the two gentlemen teach me?" Qin Feng asked with his fists clenched.
Yan Xiang returned the salute and said: "Although Zhou Tai suffered a defeat, he did not escape far, our army actually did not get rid of him, if he has been hanging behind our army, it will be even more troublesome!" I wonder if the Lieutenant is sure to win another battle with him? ”
Qin Feng shook his head: "Mr. Yan looks up to me and my brothers too much, Zhou Tai's subordinates are all the elite of the Jiangdong Army, and being able to defeat him this time took advantage of the sneak attack, if you really want to face it head-on, I am afraid that our army's 3,000 people will also be defeated and retreat!" ”
Yan Xiang frowned, "This will be troublesome, if we can't defeat Zhou Tai, our army can't turn back and go west to Jiangxia!" And······ Now there are nearly 100 wounded, which has slowed down the march of our army even more! ”
At this time, Yang Hong said slowly: "General, there is a plan in the future, maybe you can temporarily get rid of the pursuit of the Jiangdong Army, but it is a little troublesome to implement, and the risk is too great, one carelessness will be the end of the whole army, it depends on whether the general has the guts!" ”
Qin Feng raised his hand: "Sir, please say, whether it is successful or not, I have my own considerations!" ”
Yang Hong walked to the map and looked at it, and pointed his finger on the map: "Now the location of our army should be here, even if there is a deviation, it must not be far away, which means that our army will still set off next, and should arrive at Juchao at noon tomorrow, and think of opening the gate of this city and entering the city to rest for two or three days!" ”
"First, you can replenish some grain and grass; secondly, the soldiers can rest in the city; Third, you can find a doctor to treat the wounded, and then buy some healing herbs."
Qin Feng frowned, "Sir, entering the city to rest is indeed a way to temporarily get rid of the pursuing soldiers, thinking that the Jiangdong Army would never think that we would still have the courage to enter the city!" However······ Earn the city? You can put it lightly, if the gates of the city can be easily opened, what is the use of building them? The defenders of the city are not scarecrows! ”
Yang Hong nodded, "Therefore, the difficulty of this plan is here, not only to be able to open the city gate, but also not to make too much noise!" However, there is a way to do it, whether it is successful or not depends on how well it is implemented? ”
"What's the solution?" Qin Feng asked.
"Dress up as the Koto Army! Du Wei, please think about it, the Jiangdong Army has not yet controlled the entire territory of the Lujiang River, if the speculation is correct, the officials of Juchao and the cities north of it should not have seen the Jiangdong Army, they may have submitted a letter of surrender to Sun Ce, or some of the cities have not yet submitted a letter of surrender, these officials must not know the generals of the Jiangdong Army, and it should not be too difficult to deceive these local officials! ”
Qin Feng remembered something and slapped his thigh: "Now many of our army's clothes and armor are looted from Anhui City, and today we defeated Zhou Tai and took a batch from the dead, it should be enough, this plan is feasible!" ”
In order to get rid of the tailgating and tracking of the scouts that the Jiangdong Army might send, Qin Feng decided to leave Juniper and some of his men and horses to stay here and hide for the time being, and besiege and kill the Jiangdong Army scouts once they were discovered.
The next day, when it was still dark, the men in the camp began to make fires and rebel.
Qin Feng got up and came to Xiao Qiao's tent.
"I've seen the Captain!" The two maids had already gotten up and hurriedly saluted Qin Feng.
Qin Feng asked, "How was Miss last night?" Do you have a fever and coma again? ”
"I'm unconscious, and I still haven't woken up at this time, I've wiped her with warm water several times in a row, but with little effect!"
"Ahem, ahem!" Qin Feng coughed twice, and there was still blood foam in his palms.
"Take care of her, I will find a doctor to treat her today!"
"No!"
After breakfast, it was not yet dawn, but there was already a glimmer of morning light, and the three thousand men and horses headed all the way to the nest under the leadership of Qin Feng.
The camp was about forty or fifty miles away from Juchao, and in order to arrive at noon, Qin Feng ordered the team to speed up the march.
When the team was only more than ten miles away from Juchao County, Qin Feng sent someone to find Huang Yi.
"Yi, didn't we capture Ling Cao's banner last time when we ambushed Ling Cao of the Jiangdong Army? Is the flag still there? ”
Huang Yi clenched his fists and replied: "Yes, at that time, the lieutenant asked me to put it away, and it was very well kept!" ”
"Okay, go get it, and choose three young and strong soldiers to take turns carrying the flag by my side!"
"No!" Huang Yi agreed, and immediately turned around to prepare.
After a while, he rode over with three strong soldiers carrying a large flag, and Qin Feng looked back to see that the flag was embroidered with a big "Ling" character, and it was also stained with some bloodstained patches.
Just right!
If the flag is new, it is expected to raise suspicions, which is obviously the result of a bloody battle.
On the upper floor of the west gate of Juchao, several soldiers retracted their hands into their sleeves and yawned on the battlements.
"Hey, that's ······ A group of men and horses is coming, I don't know whether I am or the enemy, quickly bang the gong to close the city gate, and report to the county lieutenant! "A shih grows up.
A hurried gong sounded on the tower of the city gate, "Dangdangdang······"
"Close the gates—" There was a loud roar from the gate hole.
The city gate slowly closed with a "creak" under the joint push of several soldiers, and a huge wooden bolt fell to seal the city gate.
After receiving the news, Juchao Ling and the county lieutenant hurried over with 300 county soldiers.
The people stood on the tower of the city and put their hands on the pergola to watch.
The county lieutenant asked, "County Honorable, do you know this army of soldiers and horses?" ”
Ju Chao Ling lowered his arm, "I can't see it for the time being, wait for them to get closer!" ”
Not long after, Qin Feng had already led his troops to the city gate.
"Look at the armor seems to be the Jiangdong Army! Just ask! Ju Chao Ling whispered to the county lieutenant.
"No!"
The county lieutenant immediately shouted: "Who is coming? ”
Qin Feng turned his head and asked Yang Hong in a low voice: "What is Sun Ce's official position and title now?" ”
Yang Hong hurriedly said: "Three years ago, he was named a rebellious general by the imperial court, Marquis Wu!" ”
Qin Feng immediately raised his head and shouted loudly: "I am Ling Cao, the thief captain under the command of Jiangdong rebellious general Sun Wuhou, and the castle tower is a nest order?" ”
On the tower of the city, the lord Bo whispered to Ju Chao Ling: "There is indeed a general named Ling Cao under Sun Ce, I heard that he is from Wu County!" ”
"That's right!"
Ju Chao Ling hurriedly showed a smile, "It's Xia Guan, I've seen Captain Ling!" I don't know why Captain Ling came with his troops? ”
"A certain was ordered by the marquis to pursue the bandit army Qin Feng and his gang, there were many casualties among the soldiers on the way, and now the morale is low, and I want to go into the city to rest for two days before going to pursue, and I also ask the county to make it convenient!" Qin Feng said and hugged his fists.
Ju Chaoling turned his head to look at the county lieutenant, "What do you think?" Can the gates be opened? ”
The county lieutenant said: "Didn't the county zun already send a letter of surrender in the direction of Wancheng?" Now that we are also Jiangdong officials, if the county does not open the city gate, this Ling Cao will be reported to Sun Ce, won't the county be in big trouble? It's only two days or so, so why not let them go into the city to rest? It's just that the county lord has to make it clear to Ling Cao that he can't disturb the people after entering the city! ”
Ju Chaoling pondered for a while, thinking that what the county lieutenant said was reasonable, and immediately said to Qin Feng: "General Ling wants to lead the troops into the city to rest, and the lower officials and the officials and the people of the whole city should only be welcomed, but after the army enters the city, please also ask the general to restrain the people, and not disturb the people without authorization, and the lower officials will prepare wine, meat and food for the soldiers!" ”
Qin Feng laughed: "Hahaha······ That's natural, our Jiangdong Army is an official army, and it is not a bandit, how can it disturb the people at will, if anyone really dares to violate the military order, I will deal with it with military law! ”
Seeing that Qin Feng had made a guarantee, Ju Chao Ling immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and welcome the Jiangdong army into the city!" ”
The city gate slowly opened, and Ju Chao Ling led the officials to the city tower, and also instructed the anchor: "You quickly go and gather people to prepare wine, meat, and food to reward the soldiers!" ”
Lord Bo also knew that if he didn't feed these soldiers, he might do something immoral, so he immediately agreed: "No! ”
After entering the city, the soldiers under Qin Feng's command were all very excited, and their spirits were raised.
"Huang Yi, bring some people up to the city tower to take over the defense of the four gates, if Juniper brings someone back, let him come to see me as soon as possible! In addition, if there is a messenger going out, all of them will be stopped! Qin Feng rode on horseback and whispered to Huang Yi.
"Yes!" Huang Yi looked awe-inspiring and agreed with his fists.
