Chapter 156: Old friends, new journey
Although Fei Qian guessed that it was very likely that Liu Biao would send Yi Ji over, Fei Qian had no intention of waiting where he was. He drove Liu Pan away and continued to move forward.
??The fight was specially arranged in the evening of that day and the effect was very good. Huang Zhong also heard the sound of the string and understood the elegant meaning. He fully demonstrated his personal bravery and convinced the group of soldiers.
As the saying goes, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. This is what it means. When it comes to talking, no one will accept it. You think it is so, but I think it is not. No one can pick apart the bones of an egg better than anyone else. Who is far behind, but in comparison, the military prefers to use force to speak. Whoever has a bigger fist has the right to speak.
That night, Huang Zhong easily swept through all the team leaders and commanders. Almost no one could survive more than one battle under his command. , now everyone is obedient to Huang Zhong''s orders, with no intention of obeying them.
In the era of cold weapon warfare like the Han Dynasty, following a general with high martial arts skills would obviously have a better chance of survival than following a useless person on the battlefield while the two armies were fighting. So basically, as long as there is no problem with the brain, They all like their generals to be brave men.
Therefore, after Fei Qian handed the tiger talisman to Huang Zhong, he basically didn''t have to worry about it anymore. Under Huang Zhong''s deployment, the entire team appears more efficient and rhythmic.
Huang Zhong divided the 800 army armor into four parts, front, rear, left and right, and carried out in an orderly manner around the central army composed of one hundred private soldiers led by Huang Cheng and others. And this time, it was not just the two hundred people from the front army who were always there. Instead of taking on the task of opening the way, it''s on a rotating basis.
?At regular intervals, Huang Zhong led the front army to stop for a short rest. After the troops behind him caught up, he changed the order of the troops clockwise, and then led the new front army forward again.
Although it seems a little more troublesome, when we set up camp at sunset, it was a little different from yesterday. Yesterday, the two hundred people who were responsible for opening the camp were very tired when setting up camp, and were obviously much slower than other soldiers. Today, basically all the soldiers took about the same amount of time to set up their tents.
Fei Qian guessed that Huang Zhong took the trouble to rotate. The first reason was to get familiar with each team of soldiers as soon as possible to avoid lack of command when needed; secondly, there were not many people anyway, so it would not take long to switch. Time; as for the third one - hehe, Fei Qian had some nasty guesses, is Huang Zhong using these soldiers and armors to increase the commander''s experience value...
?At sunset, the camp had been set up. This time, we set up camp in the wild, without access to the village or the inn.
?In Fei Qian''s eyes, the camp set up by Huang Zhong with his soldiers and armor was basically relatively complete, with a little imperfection due to the lack of equipment he carried.
Fei Qian recalled that in the Tiger Tao category of "Six Tao", there were some interesting explanations on how to set up defenses for military camping in the mountains...
—“Narrow roads and small paths, sunken ground, intertwined with iron weapons and locks… Living in the mountains and forests, knotting tigers and falling firewood camps, surrounded by sharp iron ropes… refusing to guard the gates, spears, halberds and small oars… narrow roads and small paths, stretching iron and caltrops… wilderness In the grass, there is a square chest and a spear..."
? To put it simply, it is to dig some traps, set up some snagging ropes, throw some caltrops, and then stick some spears in the deep grass to serve as diagonal stabs in the chest...
Are people in ancient times also quite insidious?
As for whether the unlucky guy would bump into him at night, Fei Qian said that in the Han Dynasty, ordinary people basically returned home after nightfall and did not go out. Even people on the road would look for a place to camp, almost No one comes out in the middle of the night. Those who wander around in the middle of the night are probably either thieves or robbers...
?Not long after the camp was set up, and it was not completely dark yet, Yiji, who had been hurrying slowly all the way, finally arrived.
In order to catch up with Fei Qian as soon as possible, Yi Ji abandoned the slow carriage and rode non-stop along the way. When he arrived at the inn, he changed horses without changing people. By the time they met up with Fei Qian, Yi Ji was in a better position. After all, he was well prepared. His thighs were padded with two pieces of fur and were not worn out. However, after dismounting, he could not even stand firmly and fell directly to the ground.
The guards were even more miserable. Some of them had their legs bruised and bloody, which made them look pitiful...
?Fei Qian quickly asked people to help Yiji and his party to bandage and treat them.
?After Yiji was served by his left and right, he took a rest and tidied up, then freshened up a little, changed his clothes, and ate the preserved meat, and then his whole body became energetic again.
After all, Yi Ji was an old friend Fei had met several times after sneaking to Xiangyang, and he was also a civil servant, so he asked Yi Ji to share the tent with him. Anyway, there were only three people living in his tent, plus Yi Ji. It won''t seem crowded either.
“Uncle Ji, it’s been a hard journey.” Fei Qian sat on the hay mat laid out in the tent, taking off his crown, and said to Yi Ji with a smile. -This Yi Ji is truly worthy of being Liu Biao’s confidant, so desperate...
"It''s all for business, how can we say it''s a blessing? By the way, this is a letter from the governor to Ziyuan." Yi Ji also said as he took out a letter and handed it over.
Fei Qian took it and scanned it at a glance - as expected by Fei Qian, Liu Biao didn''t mention anything about Liu Pan at all. He just said that this mission was very important, so he sent Yi Ji to be Fei Qian''s deputy. , to assist Fei Qian, so as to find out and fill in the gaps. I hope that the two of them can work together to complete this mission...
Liu Pan didn’t say how to deal with it. Fei Qian guessed that he basically didn’t deal with it at all. As for what he said about working together as one at the end of the letter, Liu Biao also took this opportunity to express his dissatisfaction...
No matter Liu Biao is dissatisfied, my goal has been achieved anyway. Fei Qian has nothing to worry about, and there is no need to worry about it, so he took the deputy envoy''s seal and ribbon, held it in both hands and handed it to Yi Ji.
?Yiji also took it with both hands solemnly. After putting it away properly, he seemed to have accomplished something and seemed to feel a little more relaxed.
Fei Qian waited until Yi Ji had put away the seal and ribbon, and then said, "It''s Fei Qian''s honor to be able to go on an envoy with Uncle Ji this time. By the way, does Mr. Liu have anything special to say to Uncle Ji when he comes this time?"
Yi Ji was sorting out his belongings. When he heard Fei Qian''s question, his hand movements paused slightly, and then he said: "Isn''t it all explained in the letter? I naturally follow the arrangements..."
Fei Qian smiled and did not continue to ask, but said: "Well, I think it''s getting late, and Uncle Ji has had a hard time, so why not rest early? We have to go on the road tomorrow..."
—Although Yi Ji’s words seemed to express submission on the surface, Fei Qian could also guess that at least two pieces of information were revealed...
In the book club group, if you are interested, you may wish to add us: Si Wu Lu, Si Lu Lu, Jiu San San, and tonight I will explain the story about the beard from last time...
