Chapter 91: Cloud Cong (2)
Although this flaw was made, Lu Yao still trusted the abilities of Shen and Chen. Since Shen Jin vouched that there would be no second infiltrator, he was sure that there would be no second.
He waved his hand and ordered He Yun to take another look, and instead thought about what to do with Shen Jin and Chen Pei. One of these two people is the old foundation of the Bingzhou army, and the other has the dual identity of the old department of the king of Chengdu and the Jisang thief Koujin, if it is handled well, it may be conducive to resolving the estrangement between the soldiers from different sources in the army.
Lu Yao crossed Taihang to the east, and the real lineage was only thirty warriors accompanying him, and he also suffered a lot of losses in the battle in Yecheng. With his trusty forces too weak, he had to make the most of the gap between his soldiers and pawns to master the army; On the other hand, he must resolve this estrangement in a timely manner so as not to have a negative impact on the combat effectiveness of the army. The subtleties are hard to grasp. But in a way, it seems to be quite fun. Lu Yao pondered repeatedly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"General! Checkmate! At this time, He Yun came back again: "The person who infiltrated is fighting fiercely with Team Master Chen, depending on the situation, there is no winner for a while!" ”
"Oh?" This surprised Lu Yao a little.
What Chen Pei's martial arts are, Lu Yao knows very well. Even if he is slightly inferior to himself, he can be regarded as a rare brave man, and Xue Tong, Shen Jin and others are among them. In this mixed tribe, can anyone actually fight with him?
Lu Yao got up, put away the spread map carefully, raised his hand and pulled out the pine torch: "Let's go, let's go and have a look!" ”
There were two places where the prisoners were held. One was used to take care of Ding Zhuang, who was driven to build a barracks and worked as coolies for an hour, and had just been rested at the moment. And even when they were resting, the thick ropes that tied everyone's ankles were not untied, and the dozens of vigilant soldiers under Xue Tong's subordinates were in charge of guarding them, and they were very well guarded.
The other is used to house the elderly, women and children, and is located in the northwest corner of the camp. The felled trees were sharpened into the ground and connected by ropes to create a fence more than a man high, and drove hundreds of men, women, and children from the Forbidden Tribe, into a crowded mass with neither food nor water. Chen Pei intercepted the location of the infiltrator, not far from the fence.
When Lu Yao arrived, the soldiers who were originally stationed nearby gradually gathered over. They lit up Songming to form a circle and cheered loudly for the two people in the circle.
Lu Yao frowned slightly, and first sent a personal soldier to inform Xue Tong to rectify military discipline, and then went to the crowd.
In front of the crowd watching, one side was a one-eyed man with fluttering hair, and he swirled and danced a heavy iron spear four feet long in his hand, stabbing back and forth, setting off a burst of "whining" sound of breaking the wind. The enveloping air currents swept many dead branches and blades of grass into the air, and the sound of the tricks was even more terrifying. This gentleman is Chen Pei Chen Qingnian.
He was confronted by a warrior with a short sword and shield in both hands. Compared with Chen Pei, this person's power is quite inferior, but his athleticism seems to be excessive. He has nimble feet, sharp reflexes, and is extremely skilled in the use of swords and shields in his hands. Although in the open terrain with short soldiers against long soldiers, there are both offensive and defensive. Attacking like a spiritual snake spitting out letters, guarding like an abyss, is very good.
It's a pity that he is surrounded by many armies, no matter how amazing his skills are, there is only one way to defeat and die after all. Lu Yao glanced at the audience and had already seen Shen Jin sneering and taking the strong bow from the rider.
Shen Jin's archery skills are always the best under Lu Yao, and he himself is proud of it. A few days ago, Liu Yao showed a hand of arrows and was praised by Lu Yao, which made Shen Jin feel quite resentful, but he was a handsome soldier and did not have a chance to compete with Liu Yao before and after. Right now, it is obvious that he is impatient with the fight between the two, and intends to rely on the archery skills of a hundred steps to solve the problem.
"General......" Shao Xu didn't know when he arrived and stood behind Lu Yao.
"Oh, what do you think about Shao Gong?"
"I think this man is extraordinary, and he should be one of the best warriors in the Bo Ministry. If he can be subdued, it may be beneficial to drive the people of the Bo Congregation tribe. Shao Xu looked at Lu Yao: "Let's take a step back and say, even if he is not famous, can't he also receive the effect of a thousand golden horse bones?" ”
"Okay." Lu Yao had nothing to do with this, he nodded, and then sent someone to give the order.
In the battle array, no matter how clever he is, he can't withstand the crowd, no matter how powerful that man is, there are too many ways to clean him up. A moment later, dozens of soldiers came out with spears in their hands, surrounded Chen Pei and the man with swords and shields on all sides, and saw an opportunity for the two of them to split at a glance, and dozens of spears slammed into the center. Chen Pei had already prepared, he threw the iron spear, turned over and rolled out of the circle, and the man was taken squarely. Dozens of spear tips sparkled with cold light and pierced the surface of the skin, and immediately forced the man's whole body to be critical, and the slightest rash move would cause dozens of transparent holes to grow on his body.
"Abandon your weapons and surrender, you can avoid death!" Dozens of people shouted in unison.
The man looked around, how could he not know the situation? He let out a long sigh and dropped his sword and shield. Immediately someone went to Piso and tied him firmly.
He Yunxing rushed over and pulled the captive over.
Under the light of the fire, it can be seen that this person has broad shoulders and is very strong. Looking at his face again, his eyebrows are raised and plump, his contours are resolute, and his slightly curled hair is a little gray, and he doesn't seem to be young anymore. Apparently, this is a fighter with a lot of experience. Although he was tied up with a piso, he didn't look frightened.
He Yun kicked him in the crook of his knee, so that he had to kneel to the ground: "Kneel, kowtow!" This is my family General Lu! ”
The captive raised his eyes to look at Lu Yao, and suddenly said, "General? Is Your Excellency an officer of the Imperial Court? Is it a noble legionnaire? ”
"Corps Commander"? This title is abrupt. Lu Yao bowed his head and said: "I am under the command of General Pingbei of Bingzhou, General Lu Yao of Yamen." Who are you? ”
The captive puffed out his chest: "I have come all the way from the end of the sea in the west, and I am the envoy of the Great Qin Emperor and the chief centurion of the Fifth Legion 'Skylark'. If Your Excellency is indeed an officer of the Imperial Court, I demand that I be treated commensurate with my status, and not to be humiliated as a barbarian. ”
"Great Qin? The Fifth Legion? Chief Centurion? These words entered his ears, making Lu Yao feel a little confused for a while. I thought it was a mixed warrior who was caught, but in fact, the way he came from was even stranger than he imagined.
He turned sideways to Shao Xu and asked, "Does Shao Gong know about this so-called 'Great Qin'?" ”
Shao Xu's knowledge is also extensive, and he responded: "I have heard that this Great Qin State, also known as Li Xuan, is located at the end of the vast sea west of the Tiaozhi State, and is 40,000 miles away from the Central Plains. Its country is six thousand miles away, and it lives between two seas. Its country is strong, there are great sages, and the clothes and costumes are intended in China, which is a big country in the extreme west. ”
At that time, the understanding of Western countries was probably like this, and it was already extremely rare to have such an understanding of Western countries as Shao Xu. And Lu Yao naturally knows that the so-called Great Qin is the Roman Empire. In this era, could there really be emissaries from the Roman Empire who came all the way to the East? It's simply unimaginably great adventure.
Lu Yao pondered and asked slowly, "Turinus, who sent you thousands of miles to the East?" Extrapolate by time...... Your emperor is Calus? Is it his son Kalinus? Or Diocles the Rebel? Is Rome's Colosseum still majestic? Are the barbarians in the north of the empire still blocked on the other side of the Danube? ”
Turinus looked up sharply and said in surprise: "Your Excellency...... You're the most well-informed person I've ever met in my life! ”
"I'm not sure who you are. So, please answer my question truthfully first. Lu Yao interrupted him.
Turinus bowed deeply to Lu Yao: "For a wise man like Your Excellency, I will not hide anything. I am a subordinate of the Roman Emperor Kalinus, the chief centurion of the Fifth Legion. The Emperor's fondness for extravagant games was held in the Colosseum, as Your Excellency said. We also once expelled the invasion of the Gauls and stabilized the northwestern frontier. However, during the battle in the Messia region, His Majesty's army was defeated by the rebel Theocles, and the Emperor himself was killed. Many of my comrades-in-arms and I were unwilling to serve the rebels, so we fled eastward. ”
Lu Yao nodded, this rebel Theocles, that is, the next Roman Emperor Diocletian. In the history that Lu Yao is familiar with, this person is a generation of British lords who established the co-governance system of the four emperors, and has made considerable achievements in politics and military. After the abdication, the place of seclusion was called Diocletian's Palace, and the ruins survived until the 21st century.
"We have lost our homeland and our allegiance, so we have to wander constantly. During our travels, we fought with the Alans against the invasion of the Honus, participated in the brutal civil strife of the Persian kingdom, and participated in the crusade of the Khamju kingdom. For twenty-three years, the soldiers of the Roman Empire were homeless and wandering around, until eight years ago, when we arrived in Luoyang, the great country of the Eastern Empire. Turinus sighed: "I have lived in Luoyang for five years, and it was a rare time of peace. Unfortunately, your country was no more peaceful than Rome, and it was not long before my companions were caught up in the war, and they all died. I was the only one left, who lived in the barbarian villages, married a wife, and had children. General, I didn't know that you were the regular army of this country. I infiltrated your camp just to save my family. ”
He pointed in the direction of the fence. There, a frightened woman tried her best to protect the two boys. The larger of the boys jumped up and waved at Turinus: "Agan! Ah, I'm here! ”
Shao Xu stroked his beard and said: "During the Yuankang period, I did hear that there were envoys from the Great Qin who entered the court to pay tribute, and the calculation time is also compatible. Lu Yao tried his best to recall what he had seen and heard in Luoyang in the past, but he really couldn't remember such a thing, so he had to admire Shao Xu's memory.
"Very good......" Lu Yao stood up: "Turinus, I can't be sure that every word you say is true, but at least your Luoyang Zhengyin is more standard than me, which can't be hidden." So, you are now being conscripted as a soldier of the Great Jin. Here, you will have many opportunities to fight against the Honus, that is, the Huns. If you are indeed an experienced warrior as you boast, then prove your worth by killing my enemies for me. In return, I will give you enough status, money, and glory, and give your family a good future. ”
The soldiers on the left and right stepped forward and cut the rope that bound Turinus. Lu Yao waved his hand and asked He Yun to take this adventurer from afar to join his family. It was interesting to meet a Roman soldier in the remote north. If you have some free time, maybe you will have a good chat with this Turinus.
