Chapter 81: Smoke

After this battle, Yang Zheng had a cognition of the courage of the Qiang people.

Generally speaking, the poorer you are, the more willing you are to play with your life.

Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes.

Who has had the worst days these years?

Xianbei occupies the grassland, the Southern Xiongnu occupy the Hetao, the Northern Xiongnu move west to the Eastern European steppe, and the Di people move to Guanzhong in Sinicization, and they are living a good life.

Only the Qiang people were sandwiched between Wei and Shu, and life was the most difficult.

The problem of the Qiang people was also exposed in front of Yang Zheng.

Unorganized and undisciplined, they fight separately, and only listen to the call of the Qiang chieftain.

But these can be overcome.

Of the more than 1,000 Qiang people who accompanied him, the leader had been killed, and he was as pure as a blank piece of paper, obeying Yang Zheng.

The next step was to bring back their families and make them a home in Zaohan.

Yang Zheng was thinking about how to follow Dong Zhuo's path, and rode from the west.

"Report to the general, Li Mi disguised himself as a merchant and escaped from Caohan!"

"What?" Yang Zheng almost fell off his horse, "What's the matter?" ”

There is Zhang Te, and there are Zhao Aqi and Gongsun Fu secretly, how could he let him run away?

Yang Zheng suddenly became anxious.

Although this guy's character is inferior, his vision is not bad, and he can see his own way, if he runs to Guo Huai, or returns to Luoyang, he will really have to seriously consider going up the mountain to be a bandit.

"Someone dug a tunnel to answer secretly, Zhao Tou'er and General Zhou have already led people to pursue!"

Covertly answered?

Yang Zheng lowered his head and thought about it, who else in Longxi could answer and have the strength to answer him?

Li Mi is the bait sent by Guo Huai, so naturally there will be a fishing line tied to it.

It's not much use in ordinary times, as long as Yang Zheng doesn't bite the hook, no one will care.

But now it's different.

Yang Zheng is undoubtedly the first merit.

In the context of Sima Yi and Cao Shuang's struggle for power, he is a bit of an eyesore.

Secretly knotted with Qiang people, often with Dong Zhuo's ambition!

This dirty water can also be splashed on Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Xuan......

The struggle in the shadows is more dangerous than the battlefield.

Many people have failed on the battlefield, and they can still live if they surrender with their heads bowed, and even their families can survive.

But the infighting failed, and it was easy to raid the family and exterminate the family, and the chickens and dogs were not left.

Li Mi's three times of sending letters out of the city were probably also smoke bombs from the other party, deliberately distracting Zhao Aqi and Gongsun Fu.

The more Yang Zheng thought about it, the more his hairs stood on end, if he hadn't returned to his heart like an arrow, and delayed some time, it was likely that Li Mi would have really run away.

I didn't touch Cao Shuang's light, but I got deeper and deeper in Cao Shuang's whirlpool.

People can't stand up to investigation, and they can't hide all kinds of things when they check it.

"In which direction?"

"Nan'an!"

Nan'an Taishou Deng Ai is Sima Yi's iron fan, and he wears a pair of pants with Guo Huai, maybe Deng Ai has already sent someone to greet him on the border.

The more this time, the calmer Yang Zheng became.

The closest to Zaohan is Jincheng.

However, the road to the north is difficult to travel, there are many valleys and Qianghu, and there are only one or two roads, which are neither safe nor hidden.

Jincheng Taishou Zhang belongs to the local tyrants of Liangzhou, and Guo Huai is not all the way.

The father and son have been respected by Cao Wei for two generations, and they have never easily participated in the internal struggle between the DPRK and China.

In September of the fourth year of Qinglong, Liangzhou Saiwai Hu Abi Division attacked the Western Regions, Zhang sent troops to conquer, captured more than 10,000 people, shocked the Western Regions, and was rewarded by Emperor Ming.

Li Mi ran to Nan'an, and now he is chasing to the north, there should still be a chance.

On second thought, this was a great opportunity.

Li Mi died in Caohan City, and he definitely couldn't get out of it, but if he died in Nan'an, it's hard to say.

Thinking of this, Yang Zheng no longer hesitated, and asked Jiang Faye to take the Qiang people back to Caohan, and he took six hundred cavalry and two horses to the north.

ran all the way, and when he arrived at Kang Wolf Mountain, he met a scout sent by Zhao Aqi.

Traces of Li Mi and others have been found.

Yang Zheng felt a little relieved, as long as he found out, he couldn't run.

"Leave no mouth alive!" At this moment, Yang Zheng simply hated Li Mi to the core.

This guy is also Cao Shuang's person, but in order to deal with himself, he is willing to be used by Guo Huai.

After running north for thirty miles, I finally saw Li Mi's carriage running wildly in the wilderness.

However, as soon as he saw the carriage, Yang Zheng felt bad in his heart.

Li Mi can ride a horse.

There are many rocks in Longbei Mountain, and the horses are definitely more efficient than the carriages.

Could it be that Li Mi is not among them?

This is also a smoke bomb for him?

Yang Zheng's heart suddenly hung up, and he followed behind, and had already entered the Nan'an realm, but he didn't see Deng Ai's people coming to greet him.

With the other party's meticulousness, he will never forget to notify Deng Ai to support......

"Kill!" Yang Zheng can't control so much, so let's stop this group of people first.

The cavalry rushed up wildly, and without saying a word, he slashed with his sword.

In a panic, the horses collided with each other, and the carriage overturned.

Yang Zheng went straight to the carriage.

Open the carriage and stab a sword from it.

Yang Zheng easily dodged, and two guards jumped out of it, without Li Mi......

"Where is Li Mi?" Yang Zheng pulled out the Hua Collar Sword.

Sometimes, people really don't have a choice, but it will be much easier.

There is no place to stay here, there is a place to stay here, it's a big deal to run into the Qiang land, find a river valley to be a bandit, and you don't have to worry about it in the future, although the days are poorer, you can find more women to have children.

The sword flashed, and the arms of the two guards flew into the sky.

Blood splashed Yang Zheng's face.

"Again, where is Li Mi? Speak up and spare your lives! ”

The two guards trembled in pain on the ground, but they just gritted their teeth and didn't say anything.

Zhao Aqi and Zhou Yu controlled the scene and did not escape anyone.

Yang Zheng held on to his last hope to inspect everyone's faces, as well as every corpse on the ground.

There is still no figure of Li Mi.

Zhao Aqi and Zhou Yu hurriedly knelt in front of Li Ye, "My subordinates are derelict in their duties, please punish the general." ”

"I don't blame you, the enemy is scheming and planning for many days...... Yang Zheng was halfway through his words, and suddenly thought that since Li Mi was not here, he might not have gone far.

Zhao Aqi's eyes were full of tears, "My subordinates are entrusted by the general!" What a face to steal a living! ”

With that, he flipped his wrist and swung his head knife at his neck.

Yang Zheng was startled, his eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he held the blade with one hand.

There was a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, and blood quickly dripped down the blade.

"General!" The tears in Zhao Aqi's eyes could no longer be controlled.

The ringhead knife fell to the ground with a "clang".

"General!" Zhou Yu was also embarrassed.

Yang Zheng's hands hurt, but he feels even more sorry for his subordinates.

"If you don't have any interest, you will be looking for death and life for such a trivial matter, how will you take on the responsibility in the future? In the past, Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou and fell into his family, Liu Bei did not blame, today he is just a villain, the world is so big, where can I go with my brothers? Where can't you make a difference? ”

There are enough people who have died, and it is not easy for those who have survived.

"General......" The two iron-clad men couldn't cry.

The other soldiers, regardless of Qiang Han, were half-kneeling on the ground, "General......"

"As long as you don't abandon me Yang Zheng, we will go down together in this troubled world." Yang Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, along the way, the most precious thing is not how much territory is laid and how high the official title is.

It's these robes that are like siblings.

The world is so big, where can't I go?

"Follow the general to the death!"

"Follow the general to the death!"

"Good!" Yang Zheng stabbed his sword on the ground, "Today's events, you should take them as a warning." ”

No one is born strong, and they are all young.

was blown by the mountain wind, Yang Zheng suddenly sobered up a lot, and things were actually not so bad.

Longxi is blocked by mountains, and there are only a few official roads in and out.

Of course, there are trails and mountain paths, but do ordinary people dare to take them?

To the west of Caohan is the Yellow River, on the other side of the Yellow River are the Qiang people, and to the south are also the Qiang people.

Then he could only go north.

It's not until the last minute, so there's no need to panic.

Why did Li Mi get so many smoke bombs?

Yang Zheng thought of another possibility, he might still be in Caohan City!

"Zhou Yu, you quickly return to Caohan, search the whole city, don't let go of every corner, Zhao Aqi, you lead a hundred people to ambush here, I can't say that Li Mi will go this way, and the others will go to Jincheng with me!" Yang Zheng didn't believe that Li Mi disappeared out of thin air.

As long as this guy didn't escape into Guo Huai's arms, his chance was still there.

"Yes!"
