Mr. Guo said: "Ordinary business travelers must not travel at night. Night walkers are either thieves or thieves. How? ”

Ma San said: "Walking from the avenue, it is difficult to avoid the ears and eyes; But in the countryside can also. ”

Uncle Tang said: "There is a way to steal, you don't have to walk in the township." ”

Zhang Yu said: "Uncle Tang must have something to teach me." ”

Uncle Tang said: "The art of night walking is also practiced by chivalrous. Such as tens of millions of people, or difficult; There are only more than ten people, what is the difficulty! ”

Zhang Yu said: "Please Uncle Tang elaborate." ”

Uncle Tang said: "In detail, there are five methods: low, sick, volatile, light, and scattered. Then he got up and demonstrated: "The low, walk with a low step, and the short body does not bow his head; Those who are sick are also fast; Those who are ambushed, before leaving, must choose a place that can be ambushed, and rush to the other side; If it is light, although the step is fast, it should be light and silent; Those who are scattered shall not be multitude, but shall be scattered. As he spoke, he lowered himself and ran a few quick steps, that is, he crouched in the dark; After a while, he jumped up and ran again, and soon crossed the square and entered the field; When he was young, he suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Yu said: "Uncle Tang is amazing, how can ordinary people do it." However, the five methods of low, disease, volatile, light, and scattered are in line with the essentials. Zhu Tang or those who have obtained this skill can be the first; The rest of the crowd then followed up. ”

Uncle Tang said: "Sir's words are exactly what I want. Although the moonlit night is taboo at night, there are few people on the road, and there will be no obstacle to walking along the road base. However, there is one thing that you need to know. Walking at night, the ups and downs are difficult to determine, and the clothes are inconvenient. They must be clothed and clothed, and they will go as short as possible. Otherwise, until the seal is opened, the clothes will be torn. ”

Zhang Yu suddenly said: "How can we enter the seal." ”

Mr. Guo said: "Qin set up a military market, and we act as businessmen. ”

Zhang Yu looked at the people who accompanied him mostly dressed as scholars, and sighed in his heart: There was another miscalculation.

Mr. Guo glanced at Zhang Yu, understood what he was thinking, and said, "More than ten people don't need to know each other, and it is more convenient for them to enter in groups." ”

Zhang Yu looked around and said, "We have different colors, a rough view, Zhu Tang and Cao, and the car dealership; Zheng, Mang and all the military soldiers, cloth clothes and hair; Lu, Guo, and merchants; We, scholars. How? ”

Mr. Guo said: "This place is not in the camp, you can change clothes." I had to do what I did because of obedience. Zhu Tang, the car shop is short brown, but the mediocre enter the city; The soldiers entered the city in cloth clothes; My father and son made a journey with Mr. Lu, and entered the city as a merchant; Mr. Zhang and others made one or two roads, and entered the city with soldiers. At present, those who enter the city are invited to stay here, and the rest will still be in the sun. ”

Zhang Yu said: "What the gentleman said is very true. Then he walked up to Mangshen, who had never had a sense of existence, and said: "There are still five or seven martial arts left, and it is very important. ”

Manshen said: "Sir, be relieved, but when you enter the city to transport grain, there are Tang Tang in you, and we will not be in trouble." ”

Zhang Yu said: "The roads and houses in Huayang City are densely deployed, and they should also be tacitly investigated. ”

A light flashed in Mangshen's eyes, and then he said calmly: "Huh! ”

When he was young, Uncle Tang led five people from the Tang family, Zheng Anping led five military soldiers, Mr. Guo's uncle and nephew, Lu Bo, Zhang Yu and five disciples, a total of 21 people gathered together. Mr. Guo assigned their respective roles and tasks, while Uncle Tang agreed on various command signals for the night walk, as well as the lineup for moving forward. The six people of the Tang clan were in front, thinking that the outpost would have no obstacles until the city was opened; Zhang Yu and Mr. Guo are in the middle; Zheng Anping and six military soldiers pressed back. Each group is about 100 paces apart, and each refers to one person as a contact.

And when the distribution was decided, every man took off his garment, and put it in a package, and carried it on his back, leaving only his underwear, and put on straw sandals, and if he had any shoes and socks, he also took off and put them in the package. It was early winter, the cold was blowing, and when they took off their clothes, everyone shivered a little.

Uncle Tang looked around, confirmed that there was no other eye watching, and took the lead in jumping down into the small ditch next to the road, and the other five people naturally divided into two groups, each group of three, followed by jumping down the ditch and heading towards the avenue. Then there was the squadron led by Mr. Zhang Yu and Mr. Guo, with the largest number of people, and the five doormen were divided into two groups, the first three and the last two, sandwiching Zhang, Lu, and Guo in the middle, and Guo Zhongjin stepped back slightly, playing the role of connecting the front and back. When the last doorman was about to turn into a black spot, Zheng Anping whispered "Qi" and jumped down the ditch first, and the other five soldiers were naturally divided into two groups and jumped back and forth.

The so-called ditch is just a depression formed by the natural erosion of rainwater on the side of the road, and when it rains, it is a natural drainage ditch, and the weeds are lush when there is no rain. It was early winter, and the weeds were dry, especially painful. Zheng Anping carefully tried his best to follow the grass that the person in front of him had stepped on, but his thigh was still scratched and painful, thinking that if he walked a hundred and thirty or forty miles like this, he would not be able to ask for this leg. Fortunately, after walking on the avenue, the small ditch next to the road is often pedestrianized, and the weeds do not grow, so the walk is slightly easier. However, although there are no weeds to tie the legs, the stones and feet are indispensable, and it is not easy to walk up, and the sin is still slightly low, which is a great sin.

Zheng Anping looked back at the soldiers who were following behind, all of them had grim faces, and some of them still had sweat drops on their faces, and the slightest coldness when they took off their clothes just now was gone.

Although there is a road from Huayang to Kaifeng, it is not as wide and smooth as the outside of Huayang City, and most of them are small roads stepped out by pedestrians. There are not all small ditches on this road, and the concealment conditions are very poor. Fortunately, there are many cultivated land and few people around, so the journey is generally smooth, although it is fast and slow. As for whether it was spotted by the farmers who occasionally squatted on the edge of the field, it is difficult to say. Due to the shallow ditches on the side of the road, they mainly relied on rapid travel, and the group simply walked on the trail to avoid dry grass and dark stones.

After traveling for about thirty miles, Huayang City had been thrown out of sight, and the roadside wilderness had replaced the cultivated land. The resting place is located next to a small ditch, in which water gurgles. Zheng Anping and his entourage ran out of sweat, thirsty, jumped under the ditch one after another, leaned over to drink. Zheng Anping looked at the surrounding terrain and arranged for the soldiers who had finished drinking water to go out to observe the surrounding movements.

After resting for a while, Guo Zhong introduced: "Here for thirty or fifty miles, there are few people, and there is no Dayi, but sometimes there are rabbits, foxes, wolves, and snakes. Thirty miles away from Kaifeng, there are more and more townships. ”

Uncle Tang said: "Walking in the wilderness at night, you need to guard against wild beasts. It's sparsely populated, so you don't have to hide it. Therefore, the next station gathers and walks, and the people who go forward look for a few sticks, and when they encounter deep and dense grass, or uneven branches, they open the way. ”

Zhang Yu said: "Twenty-one people are in the road, I don't think it will attract a pack of wolves; Although the snake is cold, it does not dare to come out. We can straighten out our garments and walk in groups. At the next break, we will discuss again. ”

Suddenly, a guest said: "It's cold at night, and I'm hungry, what can I do?" ”

Zhang Yu said: "Be sure to rush to Kaifeng before dawn, you can only drink water on the way, and it is inconvenient to eat." ”

Guo Zhong said: "Fifty or sixty miles ahead is the pavilion, or you can eat. ”

Uncle Tang said: "You don't have to rush and cover up the road ahead, but you can go parallel and consume very little." ”

Zhang Yu looked at the sky and said, "We are determined to come out, and it is already the middle of the night. We rushed to Brother Guo's house to rest in the rooster crow. The discussion was decided, and everyone put on the clothes on their backs again, and watched a group of people in different costumes walking together, and Zhang Yu sighed again in his heart.
