Chapter 270: It's All Small Scenes
Hua Xiong looked at Sun Shangxiang's figure and disappeared at the end of the road.
He sighed, collected his complicated feelings, and set out on the journey again.
According to the plan discussed in advance by Hua Xiong, Gan Ning and others, he rode to a fork in the road.
Gan Ning and his party, who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately stood up and came forward excitedly.
"Thank goodness you're here, my lord."
Zhou Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
"yes, if you don't come again, we're going to kill you."
Gan Ning smiled.
"You're too worried, these local chickens and dogs in Jiangdong, what can you do to me?"
Hua Xiong said with a smile.
"Lord, how did you leave Wu County?"
Wei Yan asked curiously.
Others were looking forward to it.
After all, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Wu County, and Huaxiong, who is surrounded by regiments, can be said to be unable to escape.
But Hua Xiong successfully escaped from Wu County, and he was unscathed.
This cannot but surprise everyone.
Hua Xiong smiled slightly and told the story just now.
After listening, Gan Ning couldn't help but smack his tongue,
"The lord is really mighty!"
"Hey, I thought that Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were already considered fierce generals, but compared to the lord, they are still far behind."
Wei Yan sighed.
"Hey, it's all a small scene.
At the beginning, the lord took me all the way to Yuan Shu's lair, and that was exciting. β
Zhou Cang laughed.
"Okay, let's stop chatting for now, we should think about how to leave Jiangdong next."
Hua Xiong said in a deep voice.
Everyone put away their smiles, and their faces became serious.
"The two young ladies of the Qiao family have been taken away by us, and the lord has easily escaped, Sun Quan will definitely not give up.
So next, we will face the endless pursuit of Jiangdong. β
Hua Xiong's words made everyone nod their heads in agreement.
"That's right, so our next action must be swift, before Sun Quan's men and horses, and get out of here."
Gan Ning said.
At that moment, a carrier pigeon fluttered its wings and flew from a distance.
The soldier in charge of delivering the information immediately stepped forward, took a letter from the foot of the carrier pigeon, and handed it to Hua Xiong.
Hua Xiong opened the letter and read it, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
Gan Ning couldn't help but ask.
"Wang Zhengye just sent me information that the stronghold of the Military Intelligence Department in Wu County has been terminated.
After one of the intelligence officers was captured, he failed to resist the torture and defected. β
Hua Xiong said softly.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became grim.
Before the operation began, Hua Xiong considered that Sun Quan would search the city afterwards.
Therefore, he ordered most of the intelligence personnel in advance to transfer.
It's just that I didn't expect that there would be an intelligence officer who was caught by Sun Quan's men.
"I'm in trouble, my lord."
Gan Ning's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character,
"It seems that our retreat plan has been exposed."
"It's better for us to temporarily change the retreat route so as to avoid Sun Quan's pursuers."
Wei Yan suggested on the side.
Hua Xiong shook his head and smiled,
"I don't think it's necessary. The original plan for the retreat was the most perfect and the least time-consuming. β
"But Sun Quan's side ......"
Wei Yan wanted to speak and stopped.
"Don't worry, I've got a plan."
Hua Xiong smiled and commanded,
"Everyone will rest in place for another half an hour, and then they will have to endure hardships."
He left the people around him and slowly walked to the sedan chair not far away.
Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are breathing next to the sedan chair.
When they saw Hua Xiong coming, their faces were a little nervous.
But still forced a calm salute to him,
"The people's daughter Qiao Ying (Qiao Wan) visited the King of Wei."
"Excuse me."
Hua Xiong waved his hand, and his gaze fell on the second daughter.
Despite the bumps along the way and the fear in their hearts, they still couldn't hide the beautiful and beautiful faces of the sisters.
No wonder in the Three Kingdoms, the two beauties that can make Cao Cao unforgettable.
Hua Xiong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Directed by his aggressive gaze, the sisters were even more nervous.
"Sister, this person is so rude......"
The younger sister Little Joe hid behind Big Joe, pulled the corner of her clothes, and muttered in a low voice.
"Sister, be cautious."
Big Joe glanced at Little Joe and motioned for her not to speak.
After all, the fate of the two sisters is now in the hands of Hua Xiong.
Da Qiao froze and said with a forced smile,
"Although the little girl grew up in the land of Jiangdong, she also heard that King Wei is a great hero in the world.
It's just that I don't know why King Wei wants to take our sisters captive? β
Hua Xiong smiled casually,
"Who let your fiancΓ© Sun Quan insult me."
"The little girl doesn't understand military affairs, but the King of Wei took revenge on our sisters because of this, which is not a gentleman."
Hua Xiong was happy.
This Da Qiao can be regarded as sharp-toothed.
"Qiao Ying, you don't have to provoke me, I can admit that I am a gentleman.
In contrast, I prefer to say that I am a real villain. β
Hua Xiong laughed and glanced at the sisters by the way,
"And other than that, I'm a man who likes beautiful women.
It just so happens that you two are also rare beauties in the world, and I can just be included in the room. β
"If you dream about it, I won't agree to it."
Xiao Qiao pouted.
"It's up to the two of you to decide."
Hearing Hua Xiong say this, Da Qiao's face was full of sadness.
She could only hope now that Sun Quan hurriedly sent someone to rescue them.
Hua Xiong ignored the two sisters anymore, and seeing that the time was almost right, he ordered everyone to start leaving.
Except for the weapons, armor, dry food, etc., all other useless luggage was discarded.
Hua Xiong led his men and horses, kept a hurry all the way, and finally arrived at the predetermined place at dusk.
This is a ferry called the Five Mile River.
The ships prepared in advance by Hua Xiong and others docked here.
The two sisters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, were taken into the boat, and the sedan chair was discarded in the wild grass on the side.
"Lord, shall we go?"
Gan Ning saw that everyone had almost boarded the boat, so he opened his mouth to ask for instructions.
But Hua Xiong was not in a hurry, he walked around the ferry a few times, and then chuckled,
"I think we should set up an ambush here."
"Set up an ambush?"
Gan Ning was taken aback.
Wei Yan and Zhou Cang on the side were also full of surprise.
There were only 300 of them, and they didn't think about how to escape, why they had to ambush the pursuers behind them.
"Not bad." Hua Xiong nodded.
"Why is that, my lord?"
Wei Yan was puzzled.
"Let me ask you, what if Jiangdong's pursuers catch up with us on the river?"
Hua Xiong asked rhetorically.
This question made all three of them fall into deep thought.
Yes, the soldiers of Koto are good at water warfare.
And they are all equipped with large ships, and it is easy to catch up with their small boats.
