Chapter 138: Offering Ugliness
Chu He dressed himself up as a traveling scholar, carrying a small wooden bookcase, riding an old horse, out of Dachong Pass, all the way to Linchang, the capital of Jingqi Road.
When he rushed to the outside of Linchang City, the old horse under his ass was already tired and thin.
The reason why he wanted to rush to Linchang City to meet Zhou Shikai in person was a decision made by Chu He after thinking about it again and again, if not for anything else, but to see the legendary camp of the Chiwang Army with his own eyes.
Han Jun, the king of Chi, is the first in the prosperous country in martial arts, and the 100,000 Chiwang army under his rule is also known as the first elite.
Chu He knew that their Liang army would have to meet this Chiwang army sooner or later, so he decided to come and see it for himself, even if he couldn't know himself and his opponent, he had to have a score in his heart.
So even when he arrived in Linchang, he did not rush into the city, but continued to carry his small bookcase, led the old horse that was already tired, and walked in the direction of the Chiwang military camp.
Chu He found a small mountain bag, tied his horse to a remote wood, and climbed up himself.
After climbing to the top, Chu He looked down, and his vision was really much better, and he could see a faint outline of Chiwang Dazhai.
Now it is lunchtime, and you can see that the pot has begun to be buried in the village, and the smoke is drifting in the wind.
But Chu He was not a professional after all, and he really couldn't see anything famous when he looked at it from such a distance, so he began to regret that he didn't bring Jiang Wuxian with him.
But it's useless to regret it, Jiang Wuxian really can't pull away, and now he sees that he is about to set off a new round of war, The task of the Military Strategy Department is very heavy, and now this nameless Jiang Qiansi has long lived in the Military Strategy Division, and it is said that he can't even sleep for two hours a day.
Chu He stood on the hill and watched for a long time, but decided to take a closer look.
Now that there are two old grandfathers in his ring awakened at the same time, Chu He's heart is also a little confident, even if there is really an accident, he is confident that he can get out of the way.
So Chu He ran down the hill and tentatively walked towards the camp of King Chi.
He was stopped when he was still nearly a mile from the camp.
A ten-man cavalry patrol surrounded him, quickly circling in a circle, stirring up bursts of sand.
"Who? Dare to approach our army camp? The cavalry leader asked in a loud voice.
Chu He hurriedly put on a smiling face, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am a scholar from the west of Chaoya Road, I heard that my army of King Chi has arrived in the east, and the sword is pointing at Liangzhou, Xiaosheng I am fascinated, I specially came here to see the demeanor of my Dasheng Wang Shi!" ”
"Xiucai? I think you're a spy! Take it down for me, grab it back and interrogate it slowly! ”
Chu He hurriedly made a flustered look, and then took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained a little broken silver.
"I, I, I...... I'm honoring you all this bit of pestering, although it's not much, but it's enough for you to buy wine and drink, but don't arrest me, I still have an old mother at home waiting for me to support! ”
The little leader took the broken silver, swiped it twice in his hand, and then poured the silver into his hand with a look of disgust, and put it in his arms.
The cloth bag was thrown to the ground by him.
"Okay, get out, I'll have some vision in the future, don't go up anywhere."
"Yes, yes, what the military master said." Chu He nodded hurriedly and said.
Just as the cavalry was about to leave, the leader cast a suspicious look at Chu He again.
"You're such a showman?"
Chu He hurriedly nodded and said, "If it is fake, it is purely because I admire the prestige of our Chi Wang Army, so I came here to see it." ”
The leader sneered, "In that case, then you should look at the scene in front of you and write a poem." ”
Obviously, this person is still not very relieved when he sees Chu He's whereabouts, if he is really a spy of the Liang Army, then it will be a great achievement to catch it. But I just received the filial piety of others, and I am not too embarrassed to arrest people directly.
The leader made up his mind that as long as this kid couldn't write a decent poem, he would still be punished as a spy.
Chu He has always scoffed at this kind of thing of relying on Tang poems to support the scene after crossing over, but now that the situation is compelling, he can only reluctantly make it difficult.
"Ahem, that little student is ugly. Drunk to pick up the lamp and look at the sword, dream back to blow the horn company camp ......"
The cavalrymen, who were still playing in circles around the Chu River, were stunned by this song "Breaking the Array" by Xin Youan, and they stopped holding the reins one after another.
"Master Jun, then I'm leaving?"
The cavalry looked at the harmless Chu River, and their eyes were glazed over, reminiscing about the poem just now.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Chu He didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.
As he walked, he paid attention to the movement behind him, if these dozen or so people were really not long-sighted, and they still wanted to make trouble for him, then he wouldn't mind comparing sword skills with them, and then let Ding Chunqiu come out to suck a wave.
"Boss, can we catch this kid yet?" A cavalryman looked at the back of Chu He as he walked farther and farther away, and asked.
"it, did you listen to that poem just now? This kid will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future, why are we causing this trouble? In the future, if people are prosperous, they will not be able to retaliate against our brothers? ”
The leader touched the few taels of silver in his arms, then turned over and dismounted, searched the ground for a while, and finally found the cloth bag that he had just thrown away.
After plucking the dust off the top, the cavalry leader carefully put away the cloth bag and rode back to his horse.
"Hurry up for dinner, huh? Walk! ”
The cavalry, completely unaware that they had just slipped around in front of the Ghost Gate, quickly left this small episode on the patrol behind.
Chu He's mood was a little heavy, and through the brief contact with those cavalry just now, he had a general understanding of the strength of the Chiwang Army.
It is very strong, and it deserves to be known as the first elite of Dasheng.
This group of cavalry, all of them are tigers and bears, Chu He can vaguely feel the fluctuations of the Yuan Force in their bodies, although they are not strong, they should also have two realms.
Looking at the war horses under their seats, they are all fat and strong, and their endurance and speed should be first-class.
Not only did these cavalry cover more than seventy percent of their own armor area, but even some of the key positions of the war horses were also protected by chain mail.
Compared to the Eastern Frontier Army that Chu He had seen before, this Chi Wang Army was really a world of difference.
Chu He had a hunch that sooner or later they would have to run into this Chi Wang Army, so he also decided that when he returned to Dachong Pass, he would talk to Chen Shi about this matter and not take it lightly.
Chu He found his horse, rode it, and went to Linchang City upside down.
In order to hide people's eyes, he chose such an old horse, but fortunately, he still gave him face, and after walking such a long way, although he was slow, there were no major problems.
After a while, the Chu River came to the foot of Linchang City, the first male city in the east of the prosperous country.
