Chapter 268: The Battle of Light and Darkness
Zhang Heng and Ma played with each other's anger, because Huang Yan was stabbed in the arm and finally calmed down.
"I lost half of my arm, and it was a good deal to see you turn war into jade." Huang Yan enjoyed the bandaging service provided to him by Zhang Heng, and joked with a smile.
What he said made the two old men a little ashamed of themselves.
"If you do this kind of thing a few more times, I'm afraid your life will not be guaranteed." Zhang Heng said in a sullen voice.
Huang Yan chuckled, "Not everyone deserves to let me stretch out my arms to persuade me. ”
Zhang Heng was stunned for a moment, "Although I don't know why I was moved, I was still quite moved." ”
There are some complicated horses in his heart who lowered his head and cut the cloth, but nodded his head twice in a row.
"Without further ado, we can't let the old thief's plan succeed." Huang Yan said.
"You say, let's listen." Ma Play said.
His tone was much more polite.
"Last night there was a miserable white, the generals of the army were stunned, and the soldiers were even more panicked, and later the two of you went to appease the soldiers in person, and they had to eat and drink for them. It's really not good, take someone out to grab a lap and boost morale. Huang Yan said.
Ma Yu and Zhang Heng nodded successively and responded to the matter.
"Next, we can't divide our troops anymore, you and I will divide the front, middle and rear of the town army, and beware of the enemy army in ambush. On the march, the secret sent to scout horses, twenty miles deep. Especially in dangerous places, you should not be sloppy. Huang Yan said.
"As long as we arrive in Longxian smoothly, it will be the death of his old thief."
"Okay, just do what you tell you to do." Zhang Heng said.
These words made Huang Yan's heart fluctuate slightly, but he still said with a straight face: "We are all for the great cause, and we are listening to the orders of the lord." ”
Everyone is on an equal footing, and at this juncture, Huang Yan doesn't want to seize power yet.
Ma joked, "Why should Huang Gong be so cautious, the two of us listen to you, it's not that we are inferior to you." ”
Huang Yan smiled and shook his head, "It's not that you are inferior to me, it's that I'm relatively calmer than you." When it comes to marching and fighting, I am not as good as you. ”
Saying that, Huang Yan suddenly remembered the defeat of Ma Play and Food, and looked up and said to Zhang Heng, "When we stay in Longxian, you and I have to plead for Ma Yu in front of the lord. The losses in this battle will be extremely heavy, but it is not entirely a horse play. ”
"The enemy army is treacherous, and if someone else is replaced, no one can prevent it."
Zhang Heng's eyes lowered and glanced at Ma Yu, "I will." ”
……
Yan Nong buttoned his straw hat to his face, wrapped his torn leather jacket tightly, and lay down on the tree to sleep.
Under the tree, an eleven or twelve-year-old child held a branch as a sword, roaring and shouting, chopping the dead grass around him, changing his moves, but it looked the same.
"You little baby are really not afraid of death?" Yan Nong asked with a smile.
The child raised his dirty cheeks, looked up, thought seriously for a while, and said, "I must be afraid!" ”
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Yan Nong couldn't help but laugh, "I'm too scared. ”
"So, you see, the two of us are the same." The child said.
Yan Nong was silent, "We are different, you are still young, and I am old." ”
"That's not old enough to die." The child said loudly.
Yan Nong: ......
He couldn't help but laugh and cry.
"Little rabbit, where did you hear these heresies? I'll tell you, I'll go home soon. Yan Nong flipped up from the trunk of the tree and scolded.
"I don't!" The child stubbornly shouted, "If you don't take me, I'll go to that barracks to tell the truth." It is said that a group of men in black armor took off their armor and pretended that the people were secretly watching their camp. ”
"You're a good boy, I know you won't do that." Yan Nong persuaded with a smile.
The first time he was a scout, Yan Nong was eaten to death by the child in front of him.
When he mentioned this, Yan Nong couldn't cry or laugh.
He led his troops as the vanguard, and after approaching Yuzhong, he sent several scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the enemy army in disguise.
And he himself, a little unable to stay, also came out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the mountain, he was followed by the little doll in front of him.
Don't look at this kid's young age, his mind is very ghostly, like a fox.
It's like a snake wrapped around a stick, along the way, Yan Nong has thought of countless ways, but he can't shake it off.
The child giggled, "If you don't take me, then I'm not a good boy." ”
"But at your age, the army really won't want it." Yan Nong was a little out of temper, and said helplessly.
The child said confidently: "If I have merit, they don't want to!" ”
"You still want to take credit? Tell me, what do you want to do? Yan Nong asked with a smile like an old monkey, squatting on the trunk of a tree.
小孩挥舞了两下手中的棍子,指着横亘在两山之间开阔地的韩遂部大营,说道:“你们是不是想攻打他们啊? ”
"Guess." Yan Nong said with a smile.
"I guess so." The child said with a little tsundere on his face, "Yesterday, these yellow-skinned ghosts were beaten. The wildfire had been burning all night, and it was still smoking this morning, so I sneaked over to take a look, and there were corpses everywhere on the trail. ”
"Look, I've picked up quite a few arrows."
He took out a blackened arrow from his arms and showed it to Yan Nong from afar.
Yan Nong's face changed slightly, and he said deliberately: "You kid is quite bold. ”
"I was born in Liangzhou, and if I didn't have the guts, I would have died a long time ago." The child said proudly, and he brought the topic back to the Han Sui rebels, and continued, "Actually, I have long seen that you and those yellow-skinned ghosts are two groups, but I advise you not to move. ”
"The yellow-skinned ghosts who were beaten only fled back from the mountains this morning, and when they came back, their camp changed, and you people can't get in."
"I've probably counted it in the past few days, and the yellow ghost has a full two hundred tents, no more, no less, maybe I counted wrong, but it doesn't matter, it's almost this number. 他们一般好像都乱住的,但三万上下的人肯定有。 ”
"At noon today, in this big camp, all the cavalry who are coming in and out should be there to guard against you."
Yan Nong was dumbfounded.
This little rabbit, listen carefully.
"You said you were a little kid, staring at an army of 30,000 people, what are you doing so much?" Yan Nong asked curiously.
The child only pursed his lips and said with a fierce glint in his eyes: "They killed everyone in our family, and my sister was snatched away by them." I can't kill them, I can't take revenge, but I want to find someone who can kill them and avenge me. ”
Yan Nong fell silent.
The war-torn Han man, such tragedies happen every day.
"Live well, and I'll avenge you." Yan Nong said.
He had no other words to comfort this skinny child, and to live well was the greatest wish in his heart.
In this world, being able to live well is the greatest blessing.
"No, I'll avenge my revenge. If I don't do anything, it can't be considered revenge. The child said stubbornly.
Yan Nong said, "The things you just said are very useful, and you have already done them. ”
The child looked at Yan Nong angrily and said, "Don't you always treat me as a child, okay?" ”
Yan Nong: ......
The two horses turned over from the mountain beam behind them, stopping to observe the camp of Han Sui's army.
Seeing this, Yan Nong immediately jumped up from the tree, "Child, let's go." ”
"It's pretty much the same, if you leave me alone, I'll immediately go down the mountain to tell the truth." The child jumped up and down, and took a stick and cut a piece of dead grass.
Although he spoke with some old-fashioned attitudes, he was always a child who was no more than eleven or twelve years old.
Under the vigilant gaze of the two scouts, Yan Nong stepped forward and said, "General Yan Nong, but General Xiahou has arrived?" ”
"It turned out to be Captain Yan, and the general was in Suolong Ridge over the mountain." The scout said.
"No need to investigate, take me to the general." Yan Nong said.
"Whoa!"
Seeing this, the child couldn't help but shout in surprise: "It turns out that you are still a general." ”
"Didn't expect that, did you? You little bunny! Yan Nong said deliberately with a wicked taste.
The child nodded, "I really didn't expect you to look like it at all." ”
This is a bit heart-wrenching.
Yan Nong looked at the torn leather jacket he picked up casually, this outfit shouldn't have looked like it.
Don't blame him.
Borrowing a horse from the scout, Yan Nong took the child and followed the scout to Suolong Ridge.
Suolongling is not as domineering as its name.
It doesn't look any different from most of the mountains in southern Liangzhou, full of barrenness and dryness.
It's just that the mountain is extremely high and steep, and there is a ravine on the back of it.
Going down the hill and into that ditch was like drilling into a deep well.
There was nothing in the ditch to be seen from the top of the hill.
Xiahou Yuan's army was stationed here.
In the southern part of Liangzhou, especially in the area of Jincheng and Hanyang, the mountains are connected to each other.
And the ravines, like the blood of these mountains, connect them more closely.
What's even more amazing is that sometimes you think you're in a ditch, but when you get out of the ditch, you find that you're actually standing on the top of a mountain.
"I've seen the general!" Yan Nong took the child to meet Xiahou Yuan, who was studying the map.
Xiahou Yuan's eyes glanced at the old and young with a somewhat strange look, "Did you just go to herd sheep with your grandson?" ”
"The last general didn't get any sheep." Yan Nong said honestly.
He really thought so.
If he can catch a flock of sheep, it doesn't take much, five or six are enough.
He would then be able to take the opportunity to approach the rebel camp and observe.
"Do all these unorthodox things, but what do you find?" Xiahou Yuan asked.
Yan Nong said solemnly, "General Hui, the rebels were attacked by people last night, and more than half of the 10,000 cavalry were lost. Today, they have built high camps and sent a large number of scouts, and it is not appropriate for our scouts to go any further. ”
"Last night?" Xiahou Yuan's brows furrowed.
"Exactly." Yan Nong pushed the child next to him, "You come on." ”
It seemed that Xiahou Yuan's aura was too strong, and the child who spoke completely without scruples in front of Yan Nong was a little timid.
"This kid knows?" Xiahou Yuan was slightly surprised.
When he first saw this child, he thought that Yan Nong had rescued him on the march.
"Back to ...... Back to the general, I should be a teenager, twelve this year, and thirteen soon. The child stumbled a little and said, "I followed those yellow-skinned ghosts all the way down from Jincheng, and last night, they were in front of them, and I don't know what the name of the mountain is, and they were ambushed." ”
He nervously pulled out the arrows from his bosom again, "These are the ones who ambushed the yellow-skinned ghosts. ”
"General, it's our army's crossbow arrows." Yan Nong said.
When the kid took it out before, he recognized it at a glance.
Xiahou Yuan picked one up and looked at it in his hand, "It's really our army's crossbow arrow, Zhang Ji is in Qiyun Mountain, and our army has just arrived here." So who should be the owner of these crossbow arrows? ”
"The last general guessed that it might be the elite sent by the Imperial Captain." Yan Nong said.
"No, this is the crossbow arrow of the Xiyuan Army, the Chang'an Army is not equipped with a crossbow, and all of them are longbows." Xiahou Yuan shook his head and said.
