Chapter I: Early Warning
The mountains and rivers are beautiful, the grass and trees are beautiful, and the smoky wind blows through the small hills, stirring up layers of heat, and the people of Zhijiao sweat like rain.
Originally, it was the best time for the grass to grow and the warbler to fly, but in the woodland, I saw a row of armor soldiers, long and long, so not majestic.
"You all listen well, today Your Majesty has an order, read your hard work, the heat is hot, and you are allowed to camp in the woodland, today Your Majesty is sympathetic to you, and you can use all your strength to fight in the future, remember that as long as you can avenge the great enmity of General Guan and General Zhang, you are the great hero of my Han Zhongxing, and when the time comes, it is not a problem to seal your wife and son, and even powerful can be made a marquis, remember it! Tomorrow, I will cut Wu Dog hard for Lao Tzu! "Led by a civilian-like officer, he was heroic under the crown, but his speech was mixed with a strong Hunan accent." Disband!"
After the dismissal, everyone returned to their posts with a smile on their faces, but only one person had a sad face.
This person is Li Xian who crossed over, and even he himself doesn't know how he crossed over. It was supposed to be a good trip, but because I stayed up late and slept a little, when I got up the next day, I found that I was actually in the camp tent, a brother in a barracks, and I thought this guy was hot and stupid. Crossing it, in fact, he was quite excited at first, after inquiring for a long time, he learned that it was the era of the Three Kingdoms, the era he was most familiar with, he was still a soldier of Liu Bei's camp, how powerful this is, at the beginning I still wanted to follow Guan Zhang's second general Ga Quack to kill, maybe you can earn a general to play, with your own knowledge of the Han Dynasty, I only know that Guan Zhang was gone last year, and the place where the march is called Yiling.....
"Who was the general who spoke just now?" Li Xian opened his mouth with great difficulty and asked the sergeant next to him.
"I said that if you are hot and stupid, you are hot and stupid, you don't even know General Fu Tong, right? You are all from Jingzhou. The sergeant snorted.
This is absolutely gone, Li Xian's heart is basically at the bottom, and he will kill Wu Gou tomorrow, if he remembers correctly, he will have to finish tonight, don't think about killing the enemy, think about how to survive.
The sergeant saw Li Xiantieqing's face: "What's wrong with you?" Heat stroke again? ”
"No, do you know where the nearest water source is?"
"It's fifty steps south from here."
"What time is it?" Li Xian then asked.
"What time is it?" The sergeant was surprised, "Can you speak human language?"
"What time is it?"
"Look at the sun, it's probably noon, right? You shouldn't be on duty today, ask what the hour is doing. ”
Li Xian was very helpless, and looked at the sergeant of the same age as himself with pity in the blink of an eye: "Dude, thank you, I haven't asked you what your name is?" ”
"Lao Tzu sleeps on your right, you ask me what is my name? Flirtatious, get out, stay cool. ”
Li Xian didn't know that he shouldn't ask, but if there were no accidents, this should be the last time the two of them met, he knew that this was the first person to say so much to him, but he couldn't tell him about the burning of Yiling anyway, a small sergeant couldn't play any role, especially in the face of a strong man like Fu Tong who would rather die than surrender to Wu Dog, it is very likely that he was directly punished on the spot for disturbing the morale of the army. His son, Fu Jian, later became Jiang Wei's general.
In any case, he has to run out, unless he can have the opportunity to meet Fu Tong or Liu Bei alone, obviously this situation is almost zero, he must think of a way to let himself run out, obviously if there is really a water source, he will definitely be blocked by the people of Wu at night, he didn't think about it, abandon A and swim into the Yangtze River, with the swimming skills of later generations, the difficulty of this challenge is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky, unless there is a big luck like Zhao Gou, come to a mud horse to cross you.
Now the question is, how to run, where to run, he even complained now that he was not in the Huang Quan Department but in the Fu Tong Department, this almost mortal situation, he had to find a way to break it, if the summer days were longer, he had 5 hours to prepare, the only good news was that he was not on duty today, in addition to preparing for the war, he had more free time.
The question is, how to escape.
......
"Prime Minister's urgent newspaper!" But seeing that in the tent of the Chinese army, a cavalryman was running hard, looking like a hundred thousand in a hurry, looking at the skewed sun, Li Xian was shocked again, after all, the escape tool in his hand was only half completed.
"I said the third child, you shouldn't be on duty today, why are you busy all afternoon."
Li Xian knew that this third child was called himself, so he said unhurriedly: "If you want to win, prepare something for your family." ”
"Yo yo yo, you are not too young, and you don't have a daughter-in-law at home, who are you making a belt for, such a big stack, and it's still a hollow in the middle? Looking at this waistline, I'm afraid that the fat aunt is idle. The sergeant picked it up and gestured at it, and then put it down.
"I said the third child, do you know, General Fu is fierce, I came out that day, and I saw with my own eyes, he held the heads of the seven Wu troops around his waist, let's not say it, although our General Fu does some literary work on weekdays, he will not lose to our soldiers in the war."
Li Xian chatted with each other, but his eyes were always focused on the lifebuoy he had not yet prepared, which was the belt that the sergeant said, several hollowed-out woods, spliced in a very simple engineering structure in the middle, which looked really vulnerable, even if it fell hard, it seemed that there was a possibility of falling apart.
Gradually, the sun is slowly approaching the West Mountain, Li Xian really has no way, it is better to live than to die.
Suddenly, a person who looked like an officer walked into the account, "The herald who came over just now is suffering from heat stroke, which of you is willing to go to Chengdu to deliver a letter?" ”
"Me!" Li Xian immediately shouted.
The people around him all looked at each other in amazement.
"The third child is crazy, right? Let's rest today, why does he do the work by himself? Isn't it good to chill in the stockade? The sergeants of the first battalion were talking.
"Good!" The officer immediately said, "It is worthy of General Fu's officer, if you can reach Chengdu within five days, submit the letter to the prime minister, and come back, I will promote you to be the commander of the army." ”
"Order!" Li Xian couldn't believe it.
"Then I'll go!"
"Wait, don't read the letter privately, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" The officer said again.
"Obey the general's orders."
......
Li Xian rode out of the camp gate quickly, looked up, half the sun had fallen below the West Mountain, and if he didn't leave, it was really too late, he could only rely on his courage and whip it, the horse was in pain, and he slipped out of the smoke.
The Yiling Mountains are a straight mountain range composed of a number of small hills, but there are many small ditches with potholes in the south of the Yangtze River, which is really not good for horses, otherwise the tigers and leopards who were civilized in the world would have already set foot in the south of the Yangtze River.
Suddenly, the war horse neighed and fell to the ground, not stepping on the ditch, but the hot heat, causing the war horse to begin to foam at the mouth, and under the scorching sun, even the horse couldn't stand it.
So now he has not yet walked out of the Yiling Mountain Range, the war horse fell to the ground, to get out of this so-called mountain range, how easy it is to say, the wilderness mountains without woodland also show his real danger, he can only go, go northwest.
No, you can't walk, you have to run, you have to fly out!
He could smell the crisis more and more, and a little cool evening breeze, mixed with the smell of earth, blew over, so that he did wake up and start running!
He took off his armor, even gave up his helmet, and had no weapons, but whenever he met any of the Wu troops in ambush on the road, he seemed to be finished, but today's Wu army was surprisingly quiet, and it seemed that he didn't even have the interest in ambushing.
Running and running, he sobered up, there is no need to go to Chengdu, now I want to go to Jiangzhou, or to White Emperor City, in other words, as long as I run fast enough, the flames will not be able to catch up with me.
Thinking of adjusting the breathing rate, from the beginning of the sprint, it slowly changed to running at a constant speed, about a quarter of an hour or so, there seemed to be no movement in the rear, and it was surprisingly quiet, Li Xian was shocked in his heart, not to mention that in an instant, he saw that there seemed to be a camp in front of him, and there seemed to be Wu Jun inside.
"I'm not going to run to Shimen Mountain, am I?" Li Xian's heart was even more frightened. Shimen Mountain is indeed the only way to go to the White Emperor City today, and it doesn't seem to be the wrong way.
However, in history, Sun Huan was ambushed here for many days, and even almost captured Liu Bei alive.
After looking around, this place was indeed insurmountable, and when he was about to give up, that line of words appeared in his mind again, Liu Bei crossed the mountain and crossed the danger, only to be spared.
He didn't even have time to continue thinking, the south of the Yiling Mountains had already begun to fill with billowing smoke, and the atmosphere in the camp in front of the door seemed to be even more tense.
Then go over the mountain, Li Xian has no choice, he has to follow the history books recorded over the mountain and cross the line to walk, it just so happens that Shimen Mountain is indeed a narrow mouth with high middle and low sides, if the lookout is easy to be obscured by the undulating hills, not to mention, this is really useful, as long as the sound is smaller, basically you can't see it, plus the south shouts and kills are full of sky.
That is, after a quarter of an hour's effort, we successfully went around the rear of this big tent, but behind it was an unobstructed way down the mountain, and the watchtower behind it was even more difficult to pass.
While thinking about it, I heard someone shouting in unison in the camp tent: "Don't go Liu Bei!" ”
The archers at the lookout also looked back, Li Xian realized that the opportunity was good, so he threw a stone out, and the astute archers immediately turned back, but found that there was nothing, and occasionally a few rats moved around, so they didn't look this way.
Li Xian immediately turned sideways and rolled down with the help of the force of the landslide, so that he could pass with the smallest sound.
Slowly rolled out of the field of vision, only to hear a whoosh, and kept shooting arrows, Li Xian secretly screamed in his heart, but when he heard the bang, he shot straight at the tree next to him, causing a bunch of cicadas to chirp.
Li Xian looked at it again, but he couldn't see the lookout anymore, so he put his mind at ease and continued to run forward.
Li Xian ran three or four miles again, but he felt that his legs and feet were weak, and he seemed to be unable to lift them, and it looked like he was cramping, so he felt unbearable pain.
"Running for your life is really a manual effort, and this crossing node is awesome." scolded my mother straight in my heart.
Immediately after that, the sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, Li Xian no longer struggled, thinking that it was estimated that it was cold, and he had secretly thought in his heart whether he would be able to go back if he hung up, obviously this was impossible.
Behind Shimen Mountain, a white-armored soldier suddenly appeared, everyone holding a spear with a sturdy body, well-armored, obviously a well-trained army, the first person is even more heroic and extraordinary, white horse and silver spear, as if from the storyteller's mouth out of the white-robed young general.
"It's General Zhao Yun?" Li Xian didn't think about it anymore, and hurriedly shouted loudly.
"Are you looking for death? Listen, I'm Uncle Chen of Yuzhou! ”
"General Chen, I wanted to write to Chengdu by His Majesty's holy decree, but the war horse fell suddenly halfway, so I had to walk here, and I hope that the general will save me!"
Chen Zhi looked at this sergeant with a disgusted expression, it was already annoying enough for him to admit his mistake, and he was even more hesitant in his heart, whether this person would be a deserter.
"Since you are a fast messenger, who are you?"
"Under the tent of General Fu Tong!"
"Hurry up and carry it into the tent to rest!"
Li Xian was taken aback, it turned out that General Fu Tong's name was so useful, so he didn't say anything, followed the two guards of the rear army, and continued to walk northwest.......
