Volume 1 The Heaven in the Pot Chapter 155 The Moonlit Night Pursuit
In the tent, Bai Shixiang was still on the couch wondering why Shen Song would say goodbye.
"The Shen family has never been involved in the affairs of the imperial army, why did Shen Song go to save that Yangzhou man, what did he want that Yangzhou double blade to do?" Bai Shixiang was a little puzzled.
In Bai Shixiang's speculation, Shen Song's rescue of Su Xian was mostly coveted by Yangzhou's double-edged forging technology and usage methods, after all, this was a big killing weapon against the Baiyi tribes.
"But I heard that there was a middle-aged man from a family who left with them." Bai Shixiang didn't understand it anymore, the Beifu cavalry was not a Jiuqu person, and he wouldn't kill the people of the family, Shen Song was smoking, and he wanted to take the risk of taking him away.
Woo~
Suddenly, there was a horn sound outside the camp, and Bai Shixiang was shocked and hurriedly got up.
"Could it be that Jiuqu's people attacked the camp?"
Bai Shixiang rushed out of the camp with his clothes on, but he didn't see any fighting, only the soldiers were running towards the camp in an orderly manner.
Bai Shixiang calmed down, he tidied up his clothes, and followed the soldiers to the outside of the camp.
The dense clouds in the sky dispersed, the bright moonlight sprinkled down, and the scene outside the camp was clearly visible.
In front of the gate, Yu Wenhu stood at the front in military uniform, and Shen Ye stood behind him disguised as a personal soldier.
"General Yuwen, what's wrong?"
After the queue was completed, Bai Shixiang happened to find Yuwenhu.
Yuwen Hu said in a deep voice: "After thinking about it, this general decided to lead the team to pursue overnight and rush to the border of the Motag Desert. ”
Bai Shixiang's nervous mood relaxed, and he persuaded: "Actually, the general doesn't have to be like this, I'm afraid it's futile to chase after me now." ”
Yuwen Hu's face was expressionless, but he said in his heart: "Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't know? Isn't there a little ancestor behind this? ”
"General, the war horses of the headquarters have also been assembled!" The soldier stepped forward to report.
In the regular cavalry team, the cavalry generally has spare horses, ranging from one to three, and take turns to ride them when fighting or rushing, in case the war horses are too tired, but the situation of the Beifu Iron Cavalry is different, and the dark clouds under the Beifu Iron Cavalry are scarce, so the spare war horses of the Beifu Iron Cavalry are just ordinary war horses with slightly stronger general endurance.
Because of this, most of the soldiers gathered by Yuwen Hu and the assembled were wearing light armor and did not wear the original heavy armor.
Seeing this, Bai Shixiang knew that Yuwen Hu had made up his mind, but his opinion was the same as that of Yu Wenhu, thinking that this trip was futile, and he asked helplessly: "Why did the general change his mind late at night and not discuss it with me in advance." ”
Yu Wenhu scolded his mother in his heart: "You think Lao Tzu wants to move, Lao Tzu also knows that it is impossible to stop the other party, and he can't even see the shadow, but, alas, a woman, it's a woman again!" I don't want to see the people of the Dugu family go crazy again because of women. ”
Shen Ye didn't know at this time that it was Liu Qingyao who he accidentally said that really made Yu Wenhu change his mind.
At that time, Duguli was because his beloved woman was detained in the imperial capital, so he was desperate and resolutely entered the enemy's territory, if it wasn't for Shen Song's own efforts to turn things around and miraculously rescue him and his woman, Duguli would have died in the palace.
After Duguli escaped from the imperial capital, he sent the woman to Beifu, and he stayed in Youzhou, but who knew that the will of heaven made people, the woman arrived in Lijingbeifu, and died of illness within a few days.
It's just that only two months later, Duguli noticed the abnormality, when he returned to Beifu, the two were already separated by yin and yang, at that time Duguli fell into madness because he didn't see the last side of the woman, he and the old lady quarreled, and then he had the idea of suicide, if it wasn't for Yuwenhu to stop him in time, Duguli might have killed back to the imperial capital alone.
And after this incident, the old lady was also disheartened, and swore that she would never leave Fuzhou, whether it was Duguli, who regretted it, or the current saint Duguqi, she did not persuade the old lady, and in desperation, Duguli had to send the most loyal army in his hands to the old lady to protect her safety, of course, this is all off-topic.
Yuwen Hu is Duguli's confidant, and he understands these things very clearly, so when he heard Shen Ye's words, Yuwen Hu reflexively recalled the fact that Dugu Li entered the imperial capital alone, before Duguli entered the imperial capital, he also whispered privately by Yuwen Hu's side, and after making sure that he could not get his support, Duguli ran to the imperial capital overnight, which is similar to Shen Ye's situation.
Yuwen Hu didn't want the prince to enter the mountains and forests of Yizhou, you must know that although the imperial capital at that time was also very dangerous, but after all, there was still a system there, and the enemy did not dare to tear his face, in addition to Shen Songzai, and the Baiyi tribes of the Yizhou mountains and forests did not care what the system, the prince would fall into their hands, basically there was no life or death.
Rather than the prince taking risks by himself, it is better to accompany him by himself, so there is still a response, so Yuwen Hu resolutely changed his attitude and went crazy with Shen Ye, of course, the reason for this is that Yu Wenhu will not be able to tell Bai Shixiang.
"Discussed with you in advance?" Yu Wenhu's tone was a little angry, "Hundred Family Masters, you took Shen Song to your side without telling me, why should I discuss with you?" I haven't even settled accounts with you about him wounding my soldiers and saving those two people! ”
Bai Shixiang was dumbfounded, and then he smiled bitterly: "It's not right for me to hide Brother Shen from the general, but these are two different things, the army should be cautious in its actions, if we just walk on the front foot, and the people in the back of Jiuqu appear from the original route, what should we do?" ”
Yu Wenhu knew that Bai Shixiang would ask like this, he had already thought about the countermeasures, since it was impossible for him and the prince to catch up with the cavalry of Jiuqu, then this pursuit should be a show.
"I'll only take two hundred light riders."
"Two hundred light horsemen?" Bai Shixiang was puzzled: "Let's not talk about whether the general can catch up with the other party, even if he catches up, won't these two hundred light horsemen be sent to death?" ”
Yuwen Hu said in his heart: "If it weren't for the chaos in Yizhou, I was afraid that the prince would be in danger, and I wouldn't even want to bring anyone." He replied: "Rest assured, the purpose of my two hundred light horsemen is just to drag the other party. ”
Yuwen Hu pointed in the direction of the imperial capital and said: "Even if the general's mansion is slow and the reaction is sluggish, you should know the destination of the Jiuqu cavalry a few days ago, and the cavalry of the Dongda Battalion outside Youzhou City is also rushing here, I will take these two hundred light cavalry to go first, the master of the family, you take a large army, slowly move closer to us, if the Jiuqu cavalry appears, you will fortify in place, with the combat power of my Beifu Iron Cavalry, plus the cavalry of the Eastern Battalion who will arrive at any time, there will be no problems, And if the Jiuqu cavalry has not yet appeared when Dugu Shao's Dongda Battalion cavalry appears, you will join us at full speed. ”
