Chapter 10 The Mysterious Old Man
"Hahaha, with this picture, I can win the world. A mere King of Changsha has received such an important thing. Wei Dai made an indelible contribution this time. On the day of attacking Chang'an, you can be granted a marquis with your achievements." Liu Bian held a silk cloth in his hand, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. While wiping his beard, he looked at all the information on the silk cloth.
"Prince, the Li family was shocked by the prince's military power, and it was already a frightened bird. The subordinates just briefly talked about the prince's military power, and Li Ben asked Concubine Li to steal this military map. In order to destroy the body and trace it later, Concubine Li colluded with the eunuch to burn the Liu family's small village.
Now the people in Chang'an City are already in panic. As long as the prince conquers Suiyang, he will be like a flood and sand collapse, and a sharp knife breaks through the bamboo. I congratulate my great Han Dynasty and the great Wu army."
Although I knew that Wei Dai was a famous flatterer, it was indeed a great achievement to steal the military sketch of the court this time. I accepted Wei Dai's flattery happily, looked at Wei Dai with admiration and continued to study the military sketch of the court.
"The prince should look at the military strategy of the court, which should be to quickly conquer the four countries of Shandong, and then return to the army to fight our army at the city of Suiyang. For the sake of this plan, he should quickly conquer Suiyang. Now Chang'an is so empty. As long as he breaks through Suiyang, he can take Hangu with just one light cavalry. Isn't Chang'an still the prince's bag?" General Bu Zhi said his opinion while examining the military's thumb map.
"Well, General Bu's words make sense. But I have another news to tell the prince."
Wei Dai said while showing off.
"Oh, what good news does Dr. Wei have?"
Liu Bi looked at Wei Dai with interest.
"Prince, Li Ben told his ministers. There is a small city not far from Luoyang, here is this." Wei Dai pointed to Yecheng in the picture. "At the side of this small city is the ordnance warehouse for Zhou Yafu's army, and the military rations raised in Guanzhong were also stored there, and then the food and fodder from the Luoyang Ferry Crossing was transferred there. The prince just sent a side army to drag Dou Ying who was staying in Luoyang, and then attacked Yecheng with elite troops and burned Zhou Yafu's food and fodder. The prince thought that it was cold and frozen, how long could Zhou Yafu be in Shandong?"
Liu Bian drew on the map for a long time, then slapped his palm on the desk.
"Well, this trick to get rid of firewood from the cauldron is indeed a clever plan. In this way, Zhou Yafu will definitely be defeated in Shandong. Even if I can't conquer Suiyang here, I'm afraid Chang'an will beg for surrender. Liu Qi, you have today. When you killed my son, hehe, he was unhappy to retribution."
Bu Zhi looked at the map and said to the word cloud drawn next to Yecheng.
"What does the word cloud mean?"
"Oh, the word Yun refers to Yunhou Yunxiao. I have found out clearly that there were about a hundred garrisons in Yecheng, and Yunhou had more than 100 troops under sixteen years. In addition, the army stored less than 100 people, and the entire Yecheng garrison was less than 300."
Wei Dai spitted and flew across the water.
"Oh, why are there less than 300 people defending such an important military site? Is there any fraud here? Have you found out clearly?"
Bu Zhi said suspiciously.
"General Bu is worried too much. His Majesty has only allocated 8,000 infantry and cavalry to Dou Ying. It is difficult for these people to defend Luoyang. This army is really short. Secondly, Yecheng is more than fifty miles away from Luoyang and seventy miles away from the Yellow River. It is on the edge of Mangshan Mountain and is not easy to find away from the battlefield. If this doctor had not obtained this military map, most of the people here would probably not know about this small city in their lifetime."
Liu Bian repeatedly looked at Jun Leitu and said to himself.
"If the King of Huainan can send troops to contain the Luoyang defenders, then he will be successful."
Bu Zhi said helplessly: "The King of Huainan was about to respond to the prince's uprising, so he handed over the military power of the Central People's Republic of China to the General Yang Wei. As a result, Yang Wei obtained the military power and placed the King of Huainan and his son under house arrest in the mansion. The Central People's Army was on guard. The gates of Huainan City were closed and they would not go out without going."
"A nerd, this nerd. He knew how to study and practice Taoism in one day. I saw that his brain was so stupid. He actually handed over the military power of the country to others. The scholars ruined the country. No matter who he is, now we have more than 200,000 troops under Suiyang City.
Bu Zhi will send you a army of 20,000 to restrain Dou Ying with one. You will personally lead 5,000 brigades to Yecheng, prepare more ox carts, and plunder some food and grass as much as possible to support military supplies. Our 200,000 people eat horses and chew the logistics, and the logistics will be tight. As for the weapons, if you can, you can take them, you can't take them."
"promise"
As soon as Bu Zhi finished speaking, a tear sound suddenly came from the top of the tent, and then a black shadow flew towards the distance.
"Someone, someone on the top of the tent."
"Hurry up, there is someone on the tent, don't let him run away."
The Wu army's central camp suddenly became in chaos.
"Don't be confused, please come to the Lord of Heavenly Me."
King Liu Bi of Wu stopped the chaos with a loud shout.
The wound on the back shoulder blade is very deep, and I endured the pain and pulled off the ** that was already connected to the flesh.
Huantian bandaged the wound on his arm. The triangle scarf equipped with Juzi is quite useful. It wraps the wound that cannot be reached firmly and is not easy to fall off. After cleaning up the wound, he quickly put on his clothes. Although it is a cave, it is still as cold as an ice cellar.
I didn't dare to make a fire. The people chasing me in the next two days were sticking to me like maggots attached to my bones. Today I forced myself to kill a team of three, which gave me a moment of peace. However, I also suffered several injuries. It seemed that the King of Wu's subordinates were really stubborn.
After chewing two bites of the cookies baked from the roulette, this thing is good. The cream is combined with rock sugar and flour, which is very sweet and hungry. Just drink it with water. If you don’t have this thing for two days, you might have been trapped by the pursuers. I really want to take a nap for a while, Huantian ordered a scent of incense in his hand. In this way, when the scent of incense is burned, it will wake up and will not be caught because of sleep.
I felt like I had just fallen asleep, and felt a pain in my fingers. I shook my head helplessly and walked out of the cave to see the dark forest. Huantian grabbed a handful of snow on the stone and wiped his face. The cold feeling stimulated Huantian's nerves. After eating two bites of Xue Huantian, I felt a little excited.
He kicked off the snow from the stone with his feet and ran towards the forest.
He was familiar with the rapid movements in the mountains and fields. At first, whenever he climbed a high place, he saw the light of the torches of the pursuers. They wrapped around him like death talismans, making him unable to recognize the direction towards Luoyang.
When he sat down and rested in a dense forest on the top of the slope, his bones seemed to be about to spread out. Not only was his heart in chaos, but his body was even exhausted.
He oozed out of many wounds on his body, and the pain was unbearable. The feeling of falling into the sun made people feel depressed. If it weren't for the solid foundation laid by practicing martial arts since childhood, I'm afraid Huantian would not be able to support him at this moment. But he knew that this moment was the most important moment of escape.
Huantian gritted his teeth and lifted his energy. After he recovered a little strength, he calmed down according to Mo Zi's mental method. After a while, he calmed down and relaxed his body to quickly restore his energy. After about half an hour, he jumped up and drove his tired mind and body with his strong will and continued to escape.
The warm sun pointed out the direction for Huantian, but it also brought convenience to the pursuers. Huantian could no longer see the pursuers' torches, but the shaking of branches in the distance showed that someone was still tracking him. The escape of the new day was about to begin, Huantian spitted and continued to run wildly in the forest.
Under the afterglow of the sunset, the grasslands and fields extend endlessly below to the horizon. Behind are steep cliffs, which are dangerously majestic. Seeing a river flowing through the mountains and valleys, it is certain that it is the Yellow River.
There is a hillside with terraces on the far left. At this cold winter, white patches are particularly charming against the backdrop of the withered and yellow mountains. The smoke from behind the hillside is rising, and it seems to be a place like a village.
The far away city should undoubtedly be Luoyang. You can find Yecheng by walking north, and Juzi and the others should be stationed in Yecheng now.
He took some biscuits before dark to satisfy his hunger and was lucky enough to catch a rabbit. If he couldn't make a fire, he could only stay by a small lake overnight.
When I slept until late at night, a sound of dog barking suddenly came. Huantian hurriedly climbed a giant tree. Thanks to Xiaobai, Huantian's skill in climbing trees increased by more than a little.
The dogs bark and sniff while he is sleeping.
I heard someone say, "The Lord of the Pavilion must have slept here. I guess he ran away when he heard the dog barking."
"Interesting boy, I have been in the world for more than 30 years. The first time someone can chase me for so long but haven't caught it."
"Peace Master, you said that the three disciples who were killed yesterday died from the sword technique of Mo Sect. So would this trick be the people of Mo Sect?"
"Momen? No, those guys only hide in the mountains, and they never participate in political affairs. It is absolutely impossible to inquire about military information for the court. I guess it was a ranger who secretly learned the swordsmanship of Momen. You know, it is Luan Bu who helped Dou Ying guard Luoyang now. This old guy has many such ranger under his command."
"People, this place is very close to Luoyang. Are we..., the group of rogues under Luan Bu are not easy to deal with."
"If you chase after another period, if you still can't find an idea when you chase it to Luoyang, then let's go back. There is no need to fight against that old man Luan Bu for the sake of two money."
Seeing these people carrying the hunting dogs, Huantian threw the rabbit in his arms out with great force. The rabbit rolled on the soft leaves, but was not injured and ran quickly towards the mountains.
The hunting dogs suddenly barked and chased the rabbit in the direction of the rabbit as if they had discovered a new world.
"On the other side of the idea, hurry up and follow."
The old man called the Pavilion Master waved his hand and chased after him first. Huantian glanced at the old man's background and hurriedly ran towards the reverse direction.
