Chapter 766: Two Heads
At the mouth of the Qingtong Gorge, there is a small Ming army outpost, but there are a few soldiers on duty here. Since Qin Feng established www.biquge.info the Ming Dynasty, Qingtongxia has become the most important passage connecting Shayang, Changyang and Zhengyang. Shayang and Zhengyang also worked together to build an official road in Qingtongxia. Usually it is full of people and caravans, but since the war, this originally lively trade road has suddenly become deserted. Zhengyang County built a post here, originally to guard Shayang County after the loss, the Qi army would kill from here, like this post, there is one every ten miles in Qingtongxia, but with the end of the Zhengyang War, and the war in Shayang County is under the continuous resistance of Liu Xingwen and Chen Jialuo, and it has persisted until now, the outposts in Qingtongxia have been removed one after another, and only the last one at the mouth of the gorge has not had time to be removed.
At this moment, several officers and soldiers stationed at the outpost were looking into the distance in amazement, like the sound of thunderous horses' hooves, and the whirlwind rushed over the Yanren cavalry, so that these officers and soldiers did not react for a while.
Didn't the barbarians be wiped out under the city of Zhengyang? How could there be such a large cavalry slaughter? After being stunned for a long time, a military commander suddenly shouted: "What are you still doing, run!" ”
This cry woke up the other soldiers who were still fluting, and as soon as everyone shouted, the girl ran to the hillside on the side, only hating her father and mother for having two legs.
The cavalry came like the wind, stepped on the simple outpost, and the leader of the general raised his hand with an arrow, and shot down the bright sun and moon flag hanging high on the flagpole.
The sound of hooves could only fade away, and the few soldiers who had just fled to the hillside in embarrassment finally rushed back, but unlike the embarrassment when they went up the mountain before, they looked extremely athletic when they came down the mountain, and they were not ordinary soldiers at first glance.
The leader of the group, standing on top of the sentry post that had been trampled, waved his hand: "Look for it, see if there is anything left." ”
Several other soldiers immediately searched in the tatters of the place, and in the middle of the night, a soldier ran over with an arrow: "Chief, there is a small bamboo tube on the arrow, and there is a letter in the bamboo tube." ”
Qianmian's eyes lit up, he reached out and grabbed the arrow, took out a note less than a finger wide from the bamboo tube under the arrow, glanced at it, and showed a surprised smile on his face.
"Boss, what the hell are we doing here?" One soldier asked, puzzled, "Are there any of us in this cavalry?" This arrow is what he left behind? ”
Qianmian raised his head and glanced at the soldier, his eyes were sharp, and the soldier also lowered his head a little weakly, the person in the eagle's nest, don't ask what shouldn't be asked, don't say what shouldn't be said, he asked today, it can be regarded as a taboo.
After reading the note, Chimian crumpled the note, and Seri chewed it in his mouth and swallowed it, kicked away the broken wooden board a few times, turned out a small bench from it, and sat down on the spot.
"Let's rest for a while, we have to go into Qingtongxia later today." He commanded.
"Chief, keep an eye on those cavalrymen, we should set off now, I'll go and lead the horses behind." One soldier reminded: "In a little while, we will only be able to see their horseshoe prints!" ”
"What are you doing staring at those cavalrymen?" Qianmian waved his hand, "Let's go collect the two heads in the evening." ”
"Two heads?" Everyone was a little confused.
"Yes, two heads!" Qianmian said lightly: "A traitor, there is never a good end." ”
In the Qingtong Gorge, hundreds of cavalry galloped while cheering loudly, now, they are safe, their horse tartar chains, are loaded with the gold and silver stolen across most of Zhengyang County this time, as long as they arrive in the Qi country, they can live a free life, and they no longer have to be afraid.
Speaking of which, they really have never had many good days, suffering in the mountains, going down the mountain thinking that they were going to enjoy happiness, but they didn't expect to be defeated by the Ming army, and then they were blocked in the four counties of the Northland, and the life was still the same bitter. It was only with the arrival of Tuoba Yan that he became the leader of their cavalry, and their lives finally improved. At least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you can eat and drink a lot every once in a while.
And more importantly, in this fiasco, tens of thousands of Yan troops were either killed or captured, and only they, under the leadership of Tuoba Yan, escaped from Shengtian, there was no danger on the way, and now victory is in sight.
As the sun in the sky gradually set to the west, and the light in the canyon slowly dimmed, Tuoba Yan raised his hand, and the galloping cavalry gradually slowed down, and finally stopped.
Tuoba Yan turned over and dismounted, looked behind him, and shouted: "Brothers, it's dark and the horses are tired, rest for a while, bury the pot, make a fire to cook, eat and drink enough before leaving." ”
Murong Hai agreed loudly, and the soldiers also dismounted, along the way, they were used to obeying Tuoba Yan, because their boss never missed it.
"General Tuoba, don't have a lot of rest now, right? I think we'd better get out of Qingtongxia first, and then talk about it after we get to Shayang! Li Wei walked to Tuoba Yan's side and said.
"Yes, yes!" Ge Wei also walked over: "General Tuoba, this is still the territory of the Ming army, and there may be pursuers at any time, and this fire makes food, and the smoke rises, and it is very easy to expose the target!" It's too dangerous, let's get out of here first. ”
Tuoba Yan rolled her eyes, "People can stand it, but horses can't stand it, the two of you are not cavalrymen, right?" Do you know that the war horse is our second life, and it is our most loyal partner, we have been running for a long time, and I don't see the horses foaming! ”
"But the Ming army may catch up at any time!" Levi was a little anxious.
Tuoba Yan laughed, "Ming Army? Two, I, Tuoba Yan, led these 800 cavalry across most of Zhengyang County, and the Ming army has always followed us to eat ashes and smell farts, what is there to fear. Chase us, then they will have cavalry too! Both of them are generals, so daring? ”
was robbed by Tuoba Yan, Li Weige Township and the two of them were red-faced, these days, they have indeed been frightened. finally ran into Tuoba Yan, everyone is difficult to brother, but this Tuoba Yan still has 800 cavalry in his hand, but it has become a huggable thigh.
The two glanced at each other in disdain, and gave a thumbs up to Tuoba Yan: "General Tuoba is so bold, we admire him so much." ”
Tuoba Yan laughed: "The two martial arts cultivators are not bad, follow me to the Qi country in the future, just eat and drink spicy food, do you know who my backer is in the Qi country?" It was Lord Cao Hui, when I escorted the former Yue Prince, it was handed over to Lord Cao, and Lord Cao strongly invited me at that time, but at that time I was bent on serving Dayan, so I rejected him. But I also said that whenever I went to him, he always opened the door to greet me. ”
Hearing that Tuoba Yan's backer turned out to be Cao Hui of Qi State, Li Weige Township and the two of them were not only surprised and delighted, but now they have nothing but themselves, and there is no reliable person in Qi State, if they can use this Tuoba Yan to paste Cao Hui, then they will find a thigh that is too thick to be thicker.
Thinking of this, the two of them were a little more flattering to Tuoba Yan's smile, and the sycophants rolled out, and the sycophants were loud, and Tuoba Yan also accepted it calmly.
In the canyon, the atmosphere is relaxed, and the aroma is overflowing in the iron pot. Tuoba Yan touched her stomach and stretched out her hand to beckon Murong Hai, "Murong Hai, come here." ”
Murong Hai trotted over: "Big brother, what's the matter?" ”
"Not ripe yet? I'm hungry. Tuoba Yan asked.
"Right away, I'll go and bring a bowl to my eldest brother." Murong Hai turned around with a smile. Tuoba Yanyi stretched out his hand and grabbed his hand, and looked back at Li Wei and Ge Xiang: "Bring a bowl to the two generals, how can you say that they were also powerful figures in the past, can't they also line up to serve porridge like the soldiers?" ”
Hearing this, Li Wei and Ge Xiang nodded gratefully at Tuoba Yan, but Murong Hai, who was covered by Tuoba Yan, was stunned, because Tuoba Yan held his hand at the same time, he gave him a small bag of things, and his little finger scratched his palm.
He has been with Tuoba Yan for almost two years, and he immediately understood Tuoba Yan's intentions, this small bag is naturally not a good thing, but he doesn't understand a little, why does the boss want to kill these two guys now? In other words, these two guys' martial arts cultivation is really good, and if they are brought to Qi to subdue them, they will also be two good helpers!
However, the boss's decision is naturally not changeable or questionable, these thoughts were just flashed in his heart and were automatically erased by him, when Tuoba Yan turned around, Murong Hai had already returned to normal, smiled at the two of them, turned around and walked towards the cauldron in the distance.
After a while, he came over with three bowls of fragrant porridge, the porridge was white porridge, but there were a lot of preserved goods added to it, as well as some wild vegetables picked by the soldiers by the stream, white, red, green, just the color was already appetizing.
"Eat, after drinking the porridge, we will pick up again, and the horses will almost rest, and we should hurry." Tuoba Yan raised the porridge bowl in his hand and said to Li Weige Township.
Tuoba Yan gave Murong Hai was naturally not the kind of ninth-rate drug in the rivers and lakes, but a good thing prepared by the Eagle's Nest from Shu Chang's recipe, and the effect was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
Li Weige Township and the two of them had a bowl of porridge in their stomachs, and they were already like a piece of wood and fell to the ground with two sounds.
"Boss, why did you do them?" Murong Hai walked over, stretched out his foot and kicked the two unconscious people: "Where did the boss get the drug, it's so powerful, these two guys have a good martial arts cultivation, and they can actually catch the Tao without any reaction!" ”
"Have you forgotten what your boss used to do?" Tuoba Yan grinned, "This is a must-have for home travel, murder and arson." As for why they did it? Hmph, if it weren't for these two guys, how could our Dayan be so evil? If it weren't for them, we would still be in the four counties of the Northland now, at worst, we can still retreat to the mountains, now it's good, there's nothing, isn't it these two goods to harm, when I see them, I want to do them to avenge our dead brothers, it's just that these two guys have a good martial arts cultivation, I don't want the brothers to do more senseless casualties, I finally escaped, and I can't draw much in the hands of these two people, look at now, these two people are unguarded, how easy it is to clean up! ”
Tuoba Yan pulled out the knife with a cruel smile, and without hesitation, he waved his hand and cut off Li Wei's head, raised his eyes to look at Murong Hai, Murong Hai smiled, drew the knife, and cut off Ge Xiang's head with a knife.
"Put these two heads on the avenue, I think the Ming army will chase after them soon, these two guys, it can be regarded as a gift we left for them, hahaha! Brothers, eat quickly, eat your fill, and the Boss will take you to the blessed! Tuoba Yan shouted.
Cheers rang out again in the gorge, and they didn't blink an eye at the two dead. upset the boss, and the death was not unjust at all.
It was late at night, and the sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the canyon, and several horses stopped where the barbarians had stopped before, and looked at the two heads that were sitting upright in the middle of the road, and laughed loudly.
