Chapter 163: Spying
In the second year of the opening of the dry year, autumn, early September.
Yanjing once again ushered in a continuous movement, several huge military camps, one after another with swords and shields on their backs, took large bags of dry food tied around their waists, and the ranks of people and horses mixed together, poured out like a torrent, and went south along the winding official road into Yuzhou, where they received some supplies and continued southward.
On the other side, the horn of the wolf rider sounded.
The earth trembled slightly.
A large force of cavalry under the banner of Bingzhou, under the autumn sky, gathered on the school field, Lu Bu painted a halberd with one hand, pinched the reins on horseback with the other, and walked slowly through the field with Su Chen.
The afternoon glow on his face, the original shallow beard has been much less today, and the once gray hair is black and shiny in the glow.
Not long after, Xiqiang Fei rode past from a distance, and Ma Chao and Ma Dai on horseback arched their hands towards this side and chased after Xiahou Yuan's team.
Su Chen is now the King of Xia, but for these generals around him, he has never had an aggressive majesty, and the two talked as they walked, and also asked about Lu Bu's battle this time.
"Is there anything wrong with Wen Hou going south this time?"
Lu Bule took the reins, his eyes were deep, and the arrogance on his body was undiminished, but he also had a different momentum from back then, and he said in a low voice: "Whether in the previous life or here, the Central Plains has always had sufficient money and food, and the population is prosperous, which is much better than the north. Judging from the previous battle between Fenzhou and the Wei army, the soldiers are still able to fight, and the generals are much worse, perhaps a certain family and Xiahou Yuan did not meet the famous generals of the Wei State that day. However, since you are heading south, you still have to be careful that the rear forces are empty, so as not to be attacked by people with bad intentions. ”
These words reminded Su Chen of the events of Yanzhou and Xuzhou at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Probably seeing what Su Chen was thinking, Lu Bu laughed and did not shy away: "That's right, a certain family has done it, and it has been done twice!" ”
"Yanjing naturally has to be guarded well." Su Chen also looked ahead, his eyes were serious, but there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "......That's why Dong Zhuo and Zhuge Liang were allowed to sit in Yanjing, and this time they went to Ding'an City and transferred Li Dian to Yanjing." ”
Lu Bu nodded, for Su Chen's arrangement, they were all people who had led the troops for a long time, so they naturally understood: "Then prepare to attack Wei in an all-round way after October?" ”
"Hmm...... There is this idea, but there are still many preparations to be made for a full-scale war, and now there is no need to worry about Xirong, the locust plague has risen, as long as they hold Yantang Pass, they will only choose to go south instead of east. The words paused, and Su Chen's eyelids drooped, "They will definitely plunder enough too much grain before winter, this is my two-pronged approach!" ”
Hearing Su Chen's words, Lu Bu waved his hand heroically: "Haha, a certain family doesn't care about any strategy or strategy, let's talk about the next game first!" ”
"What I want is Wen Hou's sentence!"
The two glanced at each other, Su Chen stretched out his hand and slapped it, and the palm that was also waved hit together in mid-air.
"Wen Hou send troops!" Su Chen pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and ran towards Yanjing, behind him Lu Bu turned his gaze and looked at the other side, it was the three thousand wolf riders who were waiting for him, nodded silently at them, his feet were a little belly, and the flying smoke red cloud horse ran out directly.
Three thousand wolves rode up, one man and two horses, and turned south to Yuzhou.
Rushing to Yanjing's war horse, Su Chen glanced back at the departing cavalry group, and also issued an order: "Order Zhao Yun's Youyan army to also prepare to pull out Yunyao, and then enter Zhangzhou." ”
Immediately, Su Chen returned to the Xia Wangfu to arrange the affairs of the city, and had a secret conversation with Zhuge Liang and Dong Zhuo in the room for half an hour, and then pulled the rebuilt ancestral coffin to the palace.
This time he went south, and he didn't know how many months it would take to come back, so Su Chen still went to Taining Palace, and the wooden stick and sweet dates went down together and beat it.
But this time when he went south, Yang Yuhuan wanted to go with him, first, Tang Xuanzong pleaded, and secondly, Yang Yuhuan knew that Dong Zhuo was a person, in case Su Chen was not in Yanjing, and the other party rushed to the backyard, she couldn't resist it.
Listening to the meaning of her words, it seems that she can also play a certain role on the battlefield!
Whatever, she has to go back to Rongzhou anyway, so she will be left in the Su Mansion if she can't do it, and Su Chen has been out for so long, not only does she miss her family a little, but she also misses the smug Fang Xuejun a little.
After the arrangements were made, Su Chen took the shield halberd warriors to gather the 10,000 Youyan army outside the city, and the other 10,000 were left to Dong Zhuo.
Soon, the army advanced southwest to Rongzhou.
……
In the south, the bright sunlight gradually converged, and the sky became cloudy, as if an autumn rain had fallen.
Autumn thunder rolls across the sky.
Under the gloomy sky, Zhangzhou was twenty miles south of the village and town on the north bank of the Hunhe River, and the team of Hun Hou Zhouxiang surrounded the place, and he got out of the carriage and dragged his round figure into the town's inn.
I saw a shadow, sitting in the hall drinking tea with eight knives on his back, one foot on the bench next to him, and there were many people around him, both men and women.
"Guo Sai wine can be upstairs?"
Zhou Xiang looked at the woman drinking tea, thinking that it was Guo Jia's chivalrous man, and after asking, he stepped up the stairs 'stepping', and on the second floor, he saw the thin and weak Guo Saijiu sitting on the long case drinking tea, and the air was filled with a strong smell of herbs.
"Sacrificial wine."
Zhou Xiang arched his hand and sat opposite, "What's going on?" ”
"It's just a sneak attack, and the Hou Ye shouldn't come to inquire in person." Guo Jia's face was still a little pale, and he was stabbed under the ribs, but he didn't hurt anything.
As he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs, and it was the woman with the negative eight knives.
"Who is this?" Zhou Xiang asked Guo Jia hesitantly.
"Xia Wang's wife who has not passed through the door......" Guo Jia smiled, and before he finished speaking, Zhou Xiang on the opposite side jumped up quickly, and his hand swayed up and down quickly.
"I've seen Princess Xia!"
The woman's pretty face suddenly blushed, but she didn't refute it, "Guo Xijiu, you can rest here, I will check the rest of the things, what do you say about Su Ting...... It's also my husband...... A cousin of King Xia. ”
"The princess can't!" Zhou Xiang was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, "I can't help it, I can't help it, how can you go to the Wei State in person." ”
"Now that no one is available, who will I not personally go on? Guo Sai wine is injured like this, don't look at a confident person drinking tea there, in fact, my subordinates picked him up, push him, see if he can't fall! ”
Tea almost flowed out of the corners of Guo Jia's mouth.
Princess Xia is really a tiger.
"That's it, no one in the Wei Kingdom knows me, and I know that we are sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes when I look at our equipment, so I won't attract too much attention." Fang Xuejun picked up the teacup and pinched it in front of Zhou Xiang, the cup snapped, and it was torn apart, "How could I be so useless, I just went to find out Su Ting's whereabouts first, and I didn't really run to fight with others." ”
Zhou Xiang was so anxious that he looked at Guo Jia from time to time, and the latter also shook his head, this Fang Xuejun came over from Ding'an County this morning, and brought one or twenty people.
Right now, he really needs the help of this group of people.
"Princess...... Just cross the river and take a look, but remember to be safe, that group should still be in Chendu County at the moment. ”
