Chapter Seventy-Four: Asking for Help Alone

The cavalry of the 100-yuan army was a ranger sentinel sent by Timur and the most elite cavalry under Timur. A total of ten such ranger teams were sent by Timur, and they were all around the city of Lanzhou, wandering or hiding, waiting for the messengers sent by Lanzhou. Timur wanted to trap the city of Lanzhou and completely lose contact with the outside world.

Every three o'clock in the afternoon, Timur's army would attack the city, even if the casualties were several times that of the Ming army. The expansion of Timur was to consume the strength of the Guangming Army, and when the Ming army was unable to defend the city due to the aggravation of the battle losses, Lanzhou was in the bag of the expansion of Timur.

It is said that the elite cavalry of the 100 yuan army chased Da Kui all the way to the south, and went straight for more than ten miles, but I still saw Da Kui running far in front. Da Kui wore a sheepskin robe on his body, plus he was carrying a pair of burdens. From a distance, it looks like his legs are short but really strong, how can he not be surprised to be able to run past a galloping horse?

After another pursuit, the Yuan cavalry who followed behind Da Kui suddenly blew the horn. Da Kui secretly screamed badly, and suddenly turned east during the run, because there was a steep mountain there, and the local people called it 'high cliff'. As long as they entered the mountains, the cavalry naturally lost its effect.

Timur's 200,000 troops not only besieged Lanzhou City, but also went east to Dingxi and south to Lintao, all of which were infested by the Yuan army. The Yuan soldiers who had just chased Da Kui blew the trumpet, presumably to notify the other Yuan soldiers to come and round up.

The captain who led the troops was secretly proud in his heart, and there was a large north-south ditch to the east, and the snow in the ditch was up to his waist. If the Ming army spies who ran in front of them go, they would be difficult to run again. In the blink of an eye, the cavalry of the hundred-yuan army arrived in front of the ditch, and led the captain to lead the team to hurriedly rein in the horse, and when he looked at it again, he was already stunned. I saw that the Ming army spies in front had already crossed the ditch, and there was only a shallow line of footprints on the snow in the ditch.

"Brothers, the snow is freezing. Rush with me. The captain took the lead and rode his horse in the direction of Da Kui's escape. The soldiers behind him followed with their horses, but before they could run out of the ten zhang, the war horse under the crotch neighed, and it was already deep in the snow. The 100 yuan soldiers had just arrived at the side at this time, and they were actually stuck in the snow pit, and they were trapped in place by the ice and snow.

The war horse couldn't move, and from a distance, it looked like a hundred yuan soldiers were honestly sitting on the snow. The horses could only have their backs exposed, and their legs were deep in the snow. Some soldiers wanted to dismount, but they just left the saddle and fell into the snow pit. Although ice and snow do not hurt people, it takes a lot of effort for the Yuan soldiers to advance or retreat.

Da Kui was running on his own, and when he looked back inadvertently, he was immediately happy. The Yuan soldiers were trapped in the snow ditch and couldn't move, so when would they stay if they didn't go to trouble at this time?

Da Kui stopped, carried the burden and turned back the same way, and when he reached the edge of the ditch, he saw that several Yuan soldiers were standing on the shore and pulling horses because they were following last. Others have dug up the snow with scabbards, and in just a few moments, a small clearing has been dug out of the snow ditch. If these soldiers are allowed to get out of trouble, there will naturally be some trouble.

In the frightened eyes of this hundred yuan soldiers, Da Kui put down his burden with a smile and ran to the other side of the snow ditch.

"The bow and crossbow are ready. Captain Yuan Bing shouted loudly, and turned around immediately, already with a hard bow in his hand, and was about to put on the feather arrow. As soon as Da Kui's body moved, he pounced in front of the Yuan military captain like a goshawk and a rabbit, and the two fingers of his right hand rushed out to take the eyes of the Yuan military captain.

The Yuan military captain was frightened and leaned back, Da Kui's figure just fell on the back of the Yuan military captain's war horse, and took advantage of the Yuan military captain's backwards to snatch the long arrow from his bow, and then reversed the arrow and stabbed the long arrow into the thigh of the Yuan military captain.

"Ahh The Yuan military captain howled miserably, and Da Kuifu slashed the throat of the Yuan military captain with another palm. The screams of the captain of the Yuan army stopped abruptly, and his body lay directly on his back on the horse without a sound.

"Don't move around, whoever moves again will not be forgiven. Da Kui shouted coldly, and the Yuan soldiers who were busy holding bows and arrows saw that they were so powerful, they really didn't move anymore.

Da Kui squatted on the back of the horse and said with a smile: "Listen, throw away all the weapons in your hands, and then take off all your armor and robes." ”

Hearing this, the Yuan soldiers not only looked at each other. In such a cold and snowy place, wouldn't you freeze to death if you take off your armor and robe?

Seeing that everyone was not moving, Da Kui stretched out his hand and pulled out a long arrow in the quiver of the Yuan military captain, and then stretched out his right hand and gently pinched the arrow. The shafts of feather arrows are mostly made of bamboo, and it is easy to break the shafts, but if you break off the arrows lightly, the strength of the hand must be amazing.

Da Kui laughed and said, "Whose head is harder than this arrow?"

No one in the Yuan soldiers accosted him, and they were all suppressed by Da Kui. Seeing that everyone was shocked, Da Kui smiled and said: "You can't freeze to death if you take off your robe, the snow here is so thick, as long as you get into the snow, won't you be fine?"

Yuan Bing still didn't move, Da Kui's face stiffened, and without warning, he shook his hand and used the arrow in his hand as a hidden weapon. A terrible howl came, and a distant Yuan soldier was hit in the throat by an arrow, turned over and fell into the snow ditch.

"Get out of here!" Da Kui shouted, and all the Yuan soldiers were shocked, and they began to take off their armor and robes. In the end, these soldiers all wore only medium clothes and sat on horseback like chaff. Da Kui nodded with satisfaction and said, "Throw all the clothes over." ”

Where did the Yuan soldiers dare to disobey, they threw their armor to Da Kui one after another. Da Kui didn't even bat at the armor and went back to shore. He took back his burden and pulled another horse out, so that he tied his burden to the horse safely. Before leaving, Da Kui said with a tiger face: "You will chase after me when I am far away." ”

Hearing Da Kui's words, Yuan Bing shook his head one after another.

Da Kui smiled with satisfaction: "Even so, I won't be difficult for you." Go home and stop fighting. Presumably, you also have parents at home waiting for you to go home, so why do you want to be sent to death knowing that you are invincible?"

Da Kui said as he turned over the saddle and got on the horse, straightened the fur hat on his head, and then rode the horse and whipped south.

When these soldiers saw that Da Kui was far away, they rushed to the left of the pile of clothes and began to scramble for clothes. It was too cold on this day, and in just a few moments, the hands and feet of these soldiers were already stiff, and if they waited for a while, they would freeze to death and frostbite.

Da Kui went all the way south, but fortunately he was not intercepted by the Yuan soldiers. Da Kui's burden was filled with his official uniform, a letter and some stones. These stones come from the Yellow River, and they are all crystal clear and smooth pebbles, the big ones are as big as a fist, and the small ones are as small as thumbs.

It is said that his son Zhang Changfeng should be able to walk and run at this moment, but Da Kui has often missed his children since he joined the army. The stone in the burden this time is the plaything that Da Kui brought to Zhang Changfeng, although it is cold and cold for thousands of miles now, Da Kui has traveled all the way to ride a horse and whip back to his heart like an arrow.

After galloping for half a month, the horse finally arrived at the border of Hanzhong after passing the Yangping Pass.

Xia Shang, the world is divided into Kyushu, and Hanzhong belongs to Liangzhou. During the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was a relatively powerful tribe in the lower reaches of the Bao River - "Bao State". Bao and the Zhou Dynasty came and went early, for its country, and married with it, from Taiji to Bao Xi for the world's marriage. The story of the "Beacon Opera Princes" is related to praise.

Bao people are located in the south of the Qinling Mountains, for the leader of the southern country, the main worship of the dry mountain (now the Han Mountain at the northern foot of the Ba Mountain) as the sacred mountain, and set up the foundation of the city to carry out sacrifices, the Zhou people called "the worship of the southern country", for the south of Zhou, the south of Zheng. The Bao Kingdom was then replaced by Nanzheng (11th to 8th centuries BC).

During the Warring States period, Qin, Chu, Shu, and Ba fought against each other in Nanzheng. In 312 BC, Qin finally captured the central land of Chu and Hanzhong, took 600 li of land, and placed it in Hanzhong County. Nanzheng County is subordinate to it. Hence the name Hanzhong.

Hanzhong people are outstanding and talented. During the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, who was sent to the Western Regions, and Cailun, the Marquis of Longting, who made paper, were all from Hanzhong. Of course, these were also known to Da Kui after he arrived in Hanzhong. Because there is a stone tablet on the road, the stone tablet is engraved with what outstanding people and customs have been produced in Hanzhong.

This place has belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, when passing through Yangping Pass, the guard will see the waist card of Da Kui, and he was shocked to speak incoherently. Hurriedly ordered 200 soldiers to escort Da Kui to Hanzhong, and the Taishou of Hanzhong County hurriedly went out to greet ten miles when he heard the inquiry.

Da Kui is in military affairs at the moment, where do you still pay attention to these many clichΓ©s. When he saw the Taishou of Hanzhong County, he asked, "What is delicious here for you?"

Taishou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Lord Zhang's words, the local noodles and vegetable tofu should be delicious." ”

Da Kui nodded and said, "I have to bathe and change clothes in your county, and then have a full meal." He patted the mount on the neck and continued, "This horse has gone a long way and is too much to trek, so I am tired of asking Lord Taishou to help me find a good horse." ”

Taishou agreed one by one, turned around and instructed his subordinates to do the same. Da Kui didn't say anything again, and rode his horse and whipped everyone behind.

Da Kui led the horse into the county seat, and asked where there was a restaurant. The passer-by pointed to the far side of the street and said, "No, there is a family at the corner of the street." Da Kui thanked him repeatedly, and then led the horse to the distance of the long street.

After riding a horse for more than half a month, Da Kui wanted to get off the horse and walk away, anyway, it was still early, fortunately it was good to go to the market. Although Hanzhong County is a county, it has a population of more than 100,000, which is comparable to a large city in terms of population. Da Kui walked for a while, and sure enough, he saw a restaurant, and when he saw the name of the restaurant, Da Kui didn't just want to laugh. This restaurant is actually called 'White Noodles'.

Tethering the horses to the tree in front of the restaurant, Da Kui slapped the dust on his body a few times, and then stepped into the restaurant.

At this moment, it is noon, and the restaurant is already full of people. It turned out that today was catching up with the Hanzhong Bazaar, and the people from all over the country came to the city to join in the fun. In a year of war and chaos, it is rare to see such a peaceful scene.
