Chapter 13: The Dead
Koji Yihe led the first camp to continue to advance, but in order to wait for Zhang He and the hunting soldiers, the speed was not very fast, after all, it had been two days, if Yuan Shao really sent someone to chase after him, he would have caught up a long time ago, and now he has not seen the shadow of the chasing soldiers, which means that Yuan Shao did not send people again.
Also, judging from Yuan Shao's current situation, there is no way to send a large team of men and horses to chase after him, even if Yuan Shao is carried away by anger, those strategists under him should also dissuade him, after all, there is a fierce Gongsun Zan in Jixian County.
Before you know it, the sun is moving westward, and the winter nights in the north always come early, and this situation will slowly change after the winter solstice.
Koji Yi looked around, only to see a forest not far ahead, turned his head and said to Koji Yan: "Send someone to check on the forest in front, if there is no danger, camp there tonight!" ”
Although he walked for two days, it is still in Jizhou, but because this place is close to Qingzhou, Gongsun Chan also has power here, and these two people can be said to have a deep hatred for Kojiyi, because of this, Koji Yi is very careful all the way, and he detours around the city when he encounters it, and camps in the wild as much as possible at night, which is to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"No!" Koji turned the horse's head and went to the arrangement.
Koji Yi didn't care about camping anymore, and Koji Yan has always been very reliable.
After walking forward for a while, Ko Yi said to the lead: "It's getting late, and I don't know what the situation is?" ”
The soldiers who had been sent out to hunt had returned one after another, and although they had hunted some prey, they were all hares and pheasants, and the number was not very large, and all of them were not enough for everyone to have a full meal.
In fact, this is not to blame the soldiers, after all, it is the cold winter wax moon, coupled with the heavy snow covering the mountains, the number of prey is pitiful, and it is rare to be able to hunt these!
It was impossible to maintain supply by hunting, so Koji could only pin all his hopes on Zhang He.
If Zhang He returns empty-handed, he will really run out of food tomorrow, and at that time, in order to survive, he can only choose to rob the rich or attack the city!
Robbing the rich hurts the reputation, and the siege of the city hurts the strength, if it is not a last resort, Lu Yi really does not want to take these two steps.
About half an hour later, the soldiers sent to check on him returned that everything was normal, and Koji Yoshiki ordered to camp in the forest.
There is no need to worry about the camp, his camp is responsible for his own camp tent, and the defense of the large camp has his own command, and the division of labor is clear.
Sitting on the root of a thick tree, Koji Yi watched everyone busy, especially the moves, pointing east and west, shouting and shouting, arranging things in an orderly manner.
In fact, the so-called camping is nothing more than cutting some thick branches to build a fence, and then setting up a few simple tents, although he was in a hurry at the time, Koji Yi did not order, but Koji Yan still asked the soldiers to bring out a few tents, in terms of trivial matters, Koji Yan was more thoughtful than Koji Yi thought.
"General, freshly boiling hot water, drink some to warm up!"
Koji Yi smiled and took the water bag from Koji Yan's hand, took a sip lightly, and felt a warm current flowing down his throat into his abdomen, which was indescribably comfortable.
"Send two people to wait on the side of the road, lest Zhang He come back and can't find us, and he has walked by!"
"No!"
Koji Yan promised to arrange manpower immediately, without any delay.
Ko Yi sat there and drank hot water slowly, feeling a little emotional, he always fantasized about how good it would be to really travel to ancient times, recruit strategists, recruit fierce generals, kill all directions, expand the territory, and create a peaceful and prosperous world......
But when I came over, I found that everything was ...... Fantasy,!
Later generations traveled to ancient times, especially in turbulent times, and if they could survive, they had to burn high incense.
Looking at the scenes along the road in the past two days, Koji Yi really felt a lot.
The people of the late Han Dynasty were really miserable, although there were no roosters for thousands of miles, and there were no people for thousands of miles, but people were really few and pitiful, sometimes they couldn't see a family for most of the day, and occasionally encountered a small village, and every household was basically not full, and the clothes were not warm, and even a very few people's homes, in this harsh winter, even lighting a fire to heat was a luxury.
It is said that the Yellow Turban Rebellion moved the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but in fact, the Han Dynasty first moved the foundation of the people's survival, and people could not survive......
If you don't have a thousand pounds on your body, who wants to gamble your life tomorrow?
When people even hope to live, what are they talking about loyalty and patriotism?
From ancient times to the present, the people at the bottom are the most easily satisfied, and their hearts are nothing more than hoping to have a house, food, clothing, peace and security, nothing more.
It is not the poor people who are not satisfied with the status quo and like to make trouble, but precisely those scholars and doctors who live in temples, have fine clothes and food, and can't spend enough money for several lifetimes.
"Report to the general, Captain Zhang is back!"
"Oh?" Koji Yoshishi was thinking about it, and when he heard Koji's report, he was overjoyed, so he hurriedly got up and looked out, and then asked, "Have you ever found food?" ”
"This ...... It seems that no, the subordinates saw that Captain Zhang and the other soldiers returned empty-handed, but Captain Zhang seemed to have brought a stranger back! ”
"Alas......" Koji Yi sighed, his heart was extremely lost, it seemed that he could only use those two last resorts tomorrow.
"General!" Zhang He walked over.
"I have worked hard all the way, go down to rest first, and then I will think of another way tomorrow!"
It wasn't Zhang He's fault that he couldn't find food, so Koji Yi didn't say much.
"General, you have failed to find the food, but you have met an old man, and I am specially invited to meet the general!"
"Oh, old man...... Who? "Just now, Koji Yan said that Zhang He brought a stranger back, but all of Koji Yi's thoughts were ignored on food, and now he reacted when he heard Zhang He say.
"Haha, General Koji, do you remember my Zhao Fu?" Before Zhang He could reply, there was a hearty laugh from behind.
"Zhao Fu?" Koji quickly searched for memories in his mind, and soon had an answer.
This Zhao Fu is really the old man of Liyi, and when Liyi was still under Han Fu, Zhao Fu also followed Han Fu and took up a position.
At that time, Han Fu ordered Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan to lead 10,000 troops to Heyang to prevent Yuan Shao from attacking, and later Han Fu listened to Xun Chen's persuasion and prepared to surrender to Yuan Shao, Zhao Fu was shocked and rushed back to Jizhou overnight to persuade, but at that time Han Fu's mind had been decided and did not adopt, Zhao Fu was angry and abandoned Han Fu with more than ten other colleagues, but did not want to meet here.
"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Peping, there is a disappointment, don't blame it!"
To be honest, Lu Yi was a little embarrassed when he saw Zhao Fu, because at the beginning, Lu Yi also agreed to give Jizhou to Yuan Shao, and he had a fight with Zhao Fu in private.
Lu Yi quickly stepped forward and took Zhao Fu's hand cordially, shook it vigorously, and said in a sincere tone: "I regretted not listening to Peping's words at the beginning, so there would be today's disaster, alas...... It's too late to regret! ”
