【Chapter 419】 Misfortune is not a one-way street
"Hehehe!"
Li Li said with a smile: "Early in the morning, Huan Fei and others are not polite, and I will forgive me for filial piety."
I think that at the beginning, I was quite frightened when I first saw Huan Fei, and I tried my best to fight with him, but I only lasted dozens of rounds, and I was seriously injured because of it. The person with two heights in front of him is Huan Fei, the word Feihu, who is the commander of the Flying Bear Battalion under my command and the first general of my Xiliang Army; In the battle of Bahe, he repelled Lu Bu and bravely crowned the three armies!
The person who is one foot tall is my personal commander Li Zhi, whose character is sincere, from a humble background, and has a bad fate. Three years ago, I captured him from Han Sui, and then he was unusually promoted to deputy commander of the army; This person is taciturn, his martial arts are extremely high, and his combat power is no less than that of Huan Fei. When Dong Xiangguo was killed, he went into danger alone, carrying my father-in-law Cai Yong behind his back to break out of the encirclement from the pursuit of Lu Bu's army, and retreated.
The sturdy man with a waist of ten girths who is on par with Huan Fei is Xu Chu of Qiaoxian County, whose name is Zhongkang, who is born with divine power and superb martial arts. Twenty days ago, this man confronted 20,000 Gepi Yellow Turban Thieves, and finally the two sides compromised, and Xu Jiazhuang offered nine ploughing cattle in exchange for the Yellow Turban Thieves to retreat. After he didn't want to plough the cattle and send them out, he broke free from the reins and turned around and ran back, but Xu Chu pulled nine cows upside down and walked forward a hundred steps in life, which frightened the Yellow Turban thief. At that time, I happened to travel to Yuzhou and saw this scene with my own eyes, so I took it under my command; Its combat power is slightly inferior to Huan Fei, but the gap is limited, and it can be regarded as a rare tiger general in the world.
The young general who led Hu Cong to guard the wagon was named Chen Zhi, the word Uncle Zhi, a native of Runan, and he was also a general under my command on my previous trip to Yuzhou. He is tenacious and resolute, introverted, silent, and very introverted. In addition, this son is strong in martial arts, and he can fight with Xu Chu for more than 60 years. However, he is a little immature at the moment, and he still needs to go through some training, and he can still lead a battalion of men and horses alone. As for the seventy servants guarding the caravan, they were the robbers who robbed the Zhen family's caravan before, and after being subdued by me, they have now become the Zhen family's servants. Hehehe! ”
Listening to the introduction of the lord Li Li, Guo Jia was secretly surprised in his heart, and he really admired his lord's ability to recognize people.
After Li Li finished speaking, he immediately exclaimed: "The lord has a good eye for heroes, and his subordinates are deeply admired!" The four tigers in front of him alone will accompany the escort. The thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, the lord can go, and he can sit back and relax! ”
Li Li nodded happily and asked, "Feng Xiaogang got out of Yuan Shao's army, I don't know how the generals under Yuan Benchu's account are?" How many generals can enter the eye of filial piety? ”
Guo Jia heard that Li Li seemed to have contempt for Yuan Shao. He immediately said: "My lord, if you take General Huan Fei as a reference. Among the hundreds of generals under Yuan Shao's command, none of them could compare with the majestic momentum of General Huan Fei. But. If you compare General Chen Zhi, there are more than ten generals under Yuan Shao's account, among which seven generals such as "Hebei Four Court Pillars, Two Pillars, and One Unique" are the most powerful. These seven people are Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, the old gun king Han Qiong and nephew Han Meng, and the stunning general Ju Yi.
These seven people are all powerful generals under Yuan Shao at the moment. As for whether there will be any future investment, it is not yet known. After all, since ancient times, Yan Zhao has many heroes, and there are many strong people, just take Hebei Gun Prodigy Yuan as an example. It is said that this man has the unfathomable ability of ghosts and gods with an iron spear, and now he is almost old, but he is still prestigious. Therefore, although Yuan Shaoqi of Jizhou is not a British master, he is strong and strong, and his strength is growing day by day, which cannot be underestimated! ”
Obedient and listening, Li Li could naturally hear the meaning of the exhortation in Guo Jia's words, so that he must not despise Yuan Shao. Li Li gladly accepted this. In fact, he never despised any prince, because the princes who could occupy a place in the troubled times were not good people and mediocre people. The reason why he said this just now was nothing more than a temptation, not really despising Yuan Shao; If he really had this intention, he would not have brought so many guards with him on this trip to Jizhou.
———————————————————————
For the next four days, every day was cloudless and the sun was shining.
The Zhen family caravan traveled day and night, and hurried continuously, but it was a pity that the carriage traveled too slowly, traveling at most seventy miles a day, and sometimes only forty or fifty miles a day.
On the fifth day, the caravan was less than a hundred miles away from Zhongshan Kingdom, and it was estimated that it would be able to enter Zhongshan in one more day's journey.
At noon, the group set up a temporary tent next to the official road, set up a stove to cook, and took a break. By the time the men and horses had eaten and drunk enough, it was already afternoon, and an hour passed quietly. As a result, the caravan had just set off and had not moved forward more than 500 paces, when two carriages loaded with heavy gold and silver weapons suddenly broke down, and the wheels of the two carriages cracked, and one side of the wheel could not be turned, prompting the group to stop again, remove the wheels and hurry to overhaul.
From the ancient road: blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way.
This sentence is really appropriate for the Zhen family caravan, and it couldn't be more appropriate.
The two wheels cracked, and it was delayed for more than two hours, and just as Hu Cong was hurrying to repair the wheels, the sky that had just been shining with the sun suddenly became gloomy. When the servants had managed to fix the wheels and the caravan was finally able to continue on its way, a light rain began to fall in the sky. Immediately after that, the rain was like a child crying, just pouting, followed by wow wow crying. In less than a cup of tea, the rain changed from drizzle to heavy rain, causing a group of more than 100 people to turn around and return to the open area where they rested at noon, and hurriedly set up tents to avoid the rain.
"Whoa!"
"Click!"
In the heavy rain, Li Li and the others changed their rear team to the front team, rode their horses and galloped, and quickly turned around and returned to the open field behind them. Fortunately, the wooden sticks and stumps that were erected at noon were still there, and after the tarpaulin was erected, the simple tent was set up. However, there are only three ready-made tents, which is far from enough for more than 100 people to camp and shelter from the rain, not to mention that it is almost evening, and according to Zhen, there is no village within a radius of more than ten miles to spend the night. Therefore, Hu Cong and Li Li's entourage had to brave the rain to go up the mountain to cut down trees, build some sturdy tents and grass huts, and camp here at night.
On the official road, Zhen and seven other women sat in two carriages to shelter from the rain, watching the servants busily go up the mountain to cut wood, and wait for the tents to be set up before they got off the car. Li Li and others, including Li Li, all braved the rain to drive piles and chose higher ground to set up camping tents.
"Fengxiao, you are thin, so you don't have to come out to help, otherwise you will be more and more helped! You just stay in your tent and watch my horses, and we'll do the rest!" In the tent, Li Li took off his drenched robe, changed into a robe, put on a hat, and saw Guo Jia also walk out of the tent as soon as he got together. Immediately, Li Li grabbed Guo Jia, pushed him to the tent and sat down without saying anything, and commanded.
"It's not good, everyone is busy in the rain, and I'm the only one sitting here and 、、、、、、watching," Guo Jia said with a very unnatural expression.
Li Li vetoed: "Don't say more, this is an order!" Whoever is not convinced, let him come to me! ”
After speaking, Li Li didn't say much, walked out of the tent directly, and was in charge of a tent with Huan Fei, Xu Chu, Li Zhi and others, and quickly got busy.
"Drive, drive, drive!"
Just as Li Li and his entourage were setting up a tent next to the pipeline, they saw a fast horse galloping in the rain from the direction of Zhongshan, and the people who came loudly scolded the war horse under the crotch, and the horsewhip crackled.
Perhaps blindfolded by the heavy rain, the visitors saw from a distance that there were many people setting up tents on the side of the official road, as well as hundreds of horses at the foot of the mountain, but they did not notice that there were still two carriages parked on the heavy rain and hazy official road.
While riding the horse and whipping, I saw that the people who came were running extremely fast, and quickly ran to the open area where Li Li and the others were preparing to camp.
This open land is one of the few flat places in this section of the official road, and it was indeed relatively spacious, but after five wagons and two high-top carriages were parked, plus more than a hundred war horses, it was not only open, but very congested, and could not accommodate people to gallop at all.
Thereupon??????
Sigh!
In the midst of a high-pitched neighing of a startled horse, the man rode his horse and galloped, almost colliding head-on with the carriage of Zhen Tuo, Zhen Dao and Zhen Rong.
"Ah———!h Suddenly, I saw that the person who came suddenly reined in the reins of the horse, causing the man to stand up abruptly in the gallop of the war horse under his crotch, and his front hooves were raised in front of the window of the carriage, which frightened the three women in the carriage and screamed. The horses under the seats also screamed in pain, causing the horses pulling the cart to panic, and they pulled the carriage and galloped wildly. As the carriage body swung, the galloping war horse that stood up was instantly knocked down by the body and fell into the muddy water with a "bang".
The shock of this moment, the sound was very loud, and it had already overshadowed the sound of the falling rain, prompting Li Li and others, who were busy building a grass hut at the foot of the mountain, couldn't help but stop their work and turned their heads to investigate.
Seeing this, Li Li, Huan Fei, Xu Chu and others couldn't help but suddenly change their faces, stunned, but caught off guard. In the heavy rain, the speed of the two horses was not inferior to that of the war horses, dragging the carriage forward bravely, and a hundred steps away was a narrow and dangerous cliff.
This discovery made Li Li and the others suddenly shocked, and they threw away the trees in their hands and ran to the official road, but no one was sure to restrain the two crazy startled horses at the same time.
At the critical moment, he saw Li Zhi casually drop the crossbar in his hand, jumped in the middle of the gallop, jumped into the carriage of the startled horse, and the two chains on his arms flew out, wrapping the necks of the two startled horses, forcing the running speed of the startled horses to drop rapidly, and then slowly stopped.
"Boy, it's raining so hard, you kid is still riding a horse and running wild, rampage, you are mourning!"
Seeing that the startled horse pulling the cart had been restrained by Li Zhi, Huan Fei picked up a bucket-thick and two-zhang long crossbar with both hands, and while scolding, he hugged the crossbar and went straight to the person who came to swing it.
