Chapter 135: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea (2)
The army was blocked on the road, Peng Yue asked Xiang Zhuang for instructions, Xiang Zhuang knew that although they were strong, but after all, there were too few people, but in order to protect the safety of the county order, to test whether it was really the Qi army, so he followed the soldiers to the front of the army, and the fierce and domineering Chong Wuyang messenger shouted: "Lao Tzu is the army of Linzi, the kindness of your county order Lao Tzu has it, the army has urgent military affairs, whoever delays the army's itinerary, don't be killed!"
"Uh, this...... The lower official just asked. The envoy at the head rolled his eyes sharply, and asked inadvertently, "Listening to the general's accent, it seems to be from Chudi?"
Peng Yue's face on the side changed greatly, and he stretched out his hand to draw the knife.
Xiang Zhuang hurriedly stopped, and the fierce and domineering Chong Wuyang envoy shouted: "Lao Tzu is from Chu, but can't he be a general in Qidi?"
"Yes. The Dancing Sun Envoy replied repeatedly, "Maybe." ”
"Huh!?" Peng Yue on the side was furious, and immediately drew his sword, only to see a flash of cold light, and the sharp blade had already hit the messenger's neck, and immediately shouted, "Why don't you dodge quickly and make way for the army?"
"Ah, yes, yes, the lower official will get out of the way. The Wuyang envoy was so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he waved his hand again and again: "Xia Guan just wants to do his best to serve the friendship of the landlord and comfort the generals and soldiers, but the generals are in a hurry, so Xia Guan will cancel it." ”
"Since the Wuyang County Decree is so gracious, we can't shirk it anymore, so let's let people bring the drinks and meals to the side of the road. Xiang Zhuang's tone softened slightly.
The Wuyang messenger hurriedly ordered someone to send the wine over, and after a while, hundreds of people carried meals, dozens of wine jars, and hundreds of water tanks were laid out along the road.
The raging Qi army was not polite, grabbed the rice balls and ate them, and grabbed the water tank and drank them.
Peng Yue and his lieutenant strode forward, unceremoniously hugged a large jar of water and wine from the messenger, and then raised their necks and drank bitterly.
Xiang Zhuang picked up the rice ball, handed it to Ling'er, and said softly: "Ling'er, eat quickly, this county order of Wuyang County is quite righteous, and has sent us so much food and wine." ”
Ling'er took the rice ball, smiled knowingly, and said, "Brother Zhuang, you are a vicious general in front of them, and if I march with you, won't I also become a wicked girl." ”
Xiang Zhuang stiffened his face and shouted: "What crime should you be guilty of daring to accuse the general of being a wicked person, and then rebelling with Xiang Zhuang?" Ling'er also straightened her face, and said with a straight face: "Punish the two of you for being a happy and evil couple in the world, grow old together, and go to the eighteenth layer of hell after death, and you will not be able to live beyond the catastrophe." The two of them laughed together.
The two talked and laughed, the wine and food sent by the Wuyang County Order were swept away, and the army left without looking back, until it was far away, the Wuyang envoy breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat down on the ground again, and the few people who looked like officials hurriedly rushed forward to help him up, and the county lieutenant couldn't help but ask: "My lord, this Qi army has neither come to hand over the customs defense, nor has it asked the county to provide money and food, the situation is not quite right, is it for people to go to the county guard to ask?"
"What do you ask?" the Wuyang envoy said angrily, "Didn't you hear just now? The person is a general from Linzi, do you know what it means? The person is a trusted general next to the King of Qi! He also sent someone to the county guard to ask, if this matter is known to these proud soldiers, your kid will die, and you will not have to affect the county, hum!"
The county lieutenant didn't dare to say anything, and several subordinate officials, and even some senior monks, nodded again and again, looking like they were convinced.
This is a chaotic situation, no one knows whether tomorrow will be dead or alive, and if you take off your shoes today, you may not be able to wear them again tomorrow, so it is better to have more than one thing.
.........
When the Qi army passed through Yingchuan County, the Yingchuan County Guard happened to go out to inspect, and when he returned, the Qi army had already crossed the border for several hours, and at this time, the messengers sent by several counties in the south also arrived, almost with the same question, why didn't they receive the official document in advance when this Han army crossed the border?
Yingchuan County Shou summoned the county lieutenant, the county Cheng and other subordinate officials asked, I heard that this Qi army has more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and all of them are wearing crimson robes, even if you put your mind at ease, now in this year, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops have been wiped out, Xiang Yu and Liu Bangjun are all kings in the rush to pass, if this army is not the army of King Qi, whose army can it be?
As for the suspicious situations along the road, most of them are under the secret order of the King of Qi and are carrying out some secret military affairs.
Yingchuan County Shou is a smart man, smart people love to ponder, he knows that after the fall of the Qin State, now is the time for the restoration of the Six Kingdoms, and all the princes are grabbing territory, maybe this army is under the secret order of the King of Qi to take advantage of Xiang Liu Bukong, expand their territory, and destroy the smaller princes.
.........
The Yingchuan county guard was thinking too much, but the Nanyang county guard didn't pay attention to it at all.
When this army is in a panic, it is not common for a large army to cross the border? What is there to make a fuss about?
In the middle of the night, Xiang Zhuang's army, disguised as a Qi army, had successfully advanced to Nanqi Mountain, fifty miles west of Aocang!
After all, Xingyang is close to Aocang, and Aocang is a military stronghold, and the Qin army surrendered to Xiang Yu because of the loss of Aocang and the lack of food, and was buried alive by Xiang Yu, how could the king of Qi make the same mistake? Now that Aocang is not heavily guarded, the generals who stay in the town must be very powerful people.
Therefore, if you want to use the trick of hiding the sky and the sea to hide the Xingyang County Order and the Ao Cang Order, it is simply wishful thinking!
Therefore, after passing the Taimur Mountain, the Zhuang army left the Chi Road, bypassed Cheng Ao along the mountain road, and hid in the Beiqi Mountain, fifty miles away from Ao Cang, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts, pretending to be hungry woodcutters, to hunt down and kill the messenger officials from Yang County in the south and Cheng Ao in the west, so as to block the news as much as possible!
It had just rained in the mountains, and it was early winter, and the wind was howling.
In order to hide the terrain as much as possible, Xiang solemnly ordered that no fire should be made to keep warm, but he still found a back cliff hole, and made an exception to build a fire for Ling'er, no matter how powerful Ling'er is in his heart, he is also a charming woman like water, the most precious person in his heart, these days of long-distance marching, eating and sleeping in the open, no mana can be used at all, suffering and suffering with them, every bit is in Xiang Zhuang's eyes, he is really distressed.
Ling'er saw Xiang Zhuang's eyes full of pity, and was very moved, although she could easily make a fire with her hand flipped, but she was willing to enjoy Xiang Zhuang's care for him, and while roasting the fire, she smiled coquettishly: "Brother Zhuang, will you always treat me like this?"
"Of course, don't be cranky. I'm the one who made you suffer all the way. Xiang Zhuang hurriedly said, "As long as you are here, I am full of joy and I am very confident in everything, without you, I am in a state of confusion, and I don't know how to go next." ”
"Brother Zhuang, you are both wise and brave now, if there is a princess, wouldn't you be more able to win the battle?" Ling'er quipped.
When Xiang Zhuang heard this, he knew that she was still worried about the previous matter, and hurriedly said: "That's because I was confused for a while, plus the death of my father and the urging of my eldest brother, I ...... That's not my heart, I hope you understand. ”
Ling'er saw that his face was full of anxiety, and his heart was very happy, and he chuckled: "Brother Zhuang, I believe in you!" Although there are few troops now, with Brother Zhuang's intelligence, Da Chu will be prosperous, and I believe that you are the one who can recover Da Chu. ”
"Hehe, when did Ling'er take such a good look at me, since you left, I often think that even if I win the world without you, what's the use? I just want to help my eldest brother recover Dachu, but I never thought that my eldest brother would kill you and let me embark on the road of confrontation with my eldest brother?"
"Do you regret it?" Ling'er couldn't help but ask softly.
