Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 12 This killer is a little cowardly

In the morning, it was caused by Cao Hongjie’s incident, and at noon, he was stunned by the information suddenly revealed by Chen Deng. It was not until the evening when he calmed down that Wang Hou discovered that there was actually a tree full of flowers hanging on the street at the gate of Lu Mansion. The head with a frightened and horrified face was the servant in Tsing Yi who led him to the inner house last night.

No wonder Chen Deng especially congratulated him at noon. It turned out that there was a murderous intention hidden in Lu's mansion inadvertently.

It is also fortunate that Cao Xiaojie came last night to "sacrifice his life to feed a tiger", otherwise the head hanging here might be his Wang Hou. Thinking of this, Wang Hou couldn't help but return happily while following his servants to the banquet. look back.

But probably still angry with him, the young lady of the Cao family who was dressed as a tiger and leopard rider rolled her eyes at him arrogantly.

Everything was as expected, although at the dinner party, Wang Hou still acted like the leader of the group and tried his best to praise the society to him, brother Lu, but he didn't know whether it was because the marriage was imminent, or what happened last night, brother Lu obviously didn't In the past few days, the enthusiasm has become a lot colder, sitting on the bench and drinking dull wine without saying a word.

On Chen Gong's side, probably because of the unhappiness with Lu Bu about the servant in Tsing Yi, his face was also darkened, and his expression was rigid, as if someone owed him 400 taels, but it was also because of the imminent marriage with Yuan Shu. He didn't want to make trouble out of the way, and he didn't pick any thorns this night, he just dealt with it with a dark face.

In such a situation, Wang Hou also "knowledgefully" proposed to leave and return to the court, and before he left, he made a bad check that he would recommend Lu Bu as General Zuo and governor of Xuzhou in front of the emperor. He smiled and said a few words of politeness, but it was only politeness, he didn't even pay for a farewell gift, he really didn't understand the "rules" of the officialdom.

A tasteless dinner was dealt with in this way. Early the next morning, Wang Hou started the journey with more than 300 ox carts borrowed from the Chen family, pulling heavy grains.

…………

Even if there is an ox cart to travel, the journey back is even more full. I have to complain about the dirt roads of this era. There is a pit on the left and a ditch on the right. When Wang Hou was a child, he used to ride on his second uncle’s walking tractor. This thing is the best in the world, and now it can be regarded as finding an opponent for this thing. The two-wheeled broken car doesn't even have a soft tire, it is completely two wooden wheels, and Wang Hou's stomach is about to vomit out.

If you are lucky enough to go back, you will do nothing else but fix the tires first!An old face turned green, and Wang Hou grimaced sadly.

However, as an official, he still has some privileges. He can still sit and dangle behind the grain cart. Cao Hongjie and another tiger and leopard rider are not so leisurely. The precious crystal salsa that came from Chen Deng was polished. There is no effective way to process hard gemstones in this era, so it can only be hardened by this method.

After grinding for more than an hour, the wrists were so tired that they were half a circle thick, and the crystal lost its skin. Angrily, she threw it into the grain basket. Cao Xiaoniang grabbed Wang Houyi by the collar, and the little tiger teeth bared fiercely. shouted.

"What the hell are you going to do with this thing? Tell me! Did you deliberately mess with Miss?"

It really meant to frustrate her temper, but of course it can't be said truthfully, that old pumpkin face was serious, Wang Hou just put on a show and gave a thumbs up to the south, showing aloofness and not explaining.

With the handle in this guy's hands, he let go of Wang Houyi's collar sadly, Cao Hongjie had no choice but to pick up the half-grinded crystal again, rubbing his small hands up and down with a mournful face.

After glancing at her triumphantly, Wang Hou immediately turned his gaze to the back of the motorcade.

On the hillside about 300 meters away, a few cavalrymen followed the convoy slowly as if there was no one else there. , These guys have been following.

With a cold snort, he moved his eyes contemptuously away from these tails. The next second, Wang Hou coldly moved his old face aside, and vomited all over the floor with a graceful wow.

In this day and age, there are too many people, and even the tail spies are not professional. They camped at the edge of Surabaya overnight, and before they left the border of Xiapi, the cavalry sent by Chen Gong to monitor did not know where to go to desert the next morning.

However, Wang Hou did not relax his vigilance, and let the convoy march westward for a long time, and then sent cavalry to search the vicinity. After making sure that no one was watching, Wang Hou assembled the tiger and leopard cavalry that Cao Cao had given him.

Excluding the three who went back to report the letter, there were 47 heavy cavalry and 99 war horses in total. As for Cao Hongjie, who was wearing an iron pocket, stood up his collar, and tried to stand up to look mighty, Wang Hou directly filtered it out.

It is no wonder that this army can be ranked among the top ten armies of the Three Kingdoms. It is indeed unique. It is not as flamboyant as Baima Yicong. Forty or so heavy armored cavalry are neatly arranged in three rows with horses, and the heavy iron helmets are under a sheet. His face was all indifferent and rigid.

Contempt for life and death, keep silent at all times, it seems that nothing can affect their emotions, even if the sky collapses, they can maintain a heavy calm, this is a seasoned warrior who has been on the battlefield. Looking at them, Wang Hou even felt uncomfortable. If you need to say something to boost morale, just lead them directly to the mountain of swords and the sea of ​​fire.

However, some preparations are still needed. After all, this time I also put my own life in it to gamble. The cloth given by Chen Deng was turned out to be the strongest, and the knife was cut into strips with the crisp sound of cutting. I personally sent two, and according to Wang Hou's appearance, everyone also tied a cloth stirrup firmly under the saddle.

It was very novel to step on the cloth stirrups for two laps, Cao Hongjie even let go of the horse's reins, opened his arms and moved his hands and feet, and then shouted in amazement: "It's no wonder you can ride the horse so badly in just two days. Well, this tricky method is really convenient."

Ignoring her, he pulled out the iron sword handed over from Lu Bu with a loud clatter, pointed it at the setting sun and waved it. Under the surprised eyes of the servants of the Chen family who were transporting the grain carts, the heavy cavalry trampled on the ground. The loess filled the sky, and ran south majesticly towards the direction pointed by Wang Hou's sword.

…………

"Forehead……"

Thanks to the sparsely populated areas in this era, after the war, Pengcheng has seen no one for hundreds of miles. In addition, Wang Hou seems to be very experienced in sending people to take off their armor to explore the road ahead, and avoid villages with people. No trace was revealed.

The crystals polished by Cao Hongjie came in handy. The two perfectly round and exquisite crystals were ground into two pieces of convex lenses, which were rolled into paper tubes by Wang Hou. He also fiddled with the most primitive telescope. out.

It's just that standing on the Huguang Mountain next to Hongsi, Wang Hou, who looked down ambitiously, was instantly dumbfounded.

"This! This is the Yuan Shu Mission!!!"

Under the magnification effect of a convex mirror like a goldfish's eye, dense crowds are coming down from the black awnings and bucket boats. The guards in front are holding three-meter-high ceremonial rifles and holding flags in four rows. Five two-wheeled carriages were unloaded from the large board boats one by one and pushed onto the shore from Hongze Lake. The only good news is that cavalry are more precious these days, and because they have to cross Hongze Lake, the two-wheeled carriages pulled by cattle The carriage took up too much space, so there were only six cavalrymen, but there were more than 500 infantrymen wearing light and heavy armor, holding halberds and spears, and carrying bows and arrows.

On various forums in the later generations, groups of great gods gritted their teeth, pointing at the sky and insisting that on the plains, cavalry fight infantry, and one can fight ten!But looking at the selected envoys from Yuan Shujun at the bottom of the mountain, and looking at the small number of tiger and leopard cavalry under his command, Wang Hou still feels guilty.

Two pieces of good quality crystals and Wang Hou's own good eyesight can see about 1000 meters. He can't finish watching here, but Cao Hongjie doesn't have that far vision. It's still the morning by the Hongze Lake. The steam was extraordinarily large, and looking down, one could see crowds the size of ants, hopping along side Wang Hou vigorously, but didn't understand anything for a long time, and finally she was urging impatiently there.

"What are you looking at? Now that you have found Yuan Thief's envoy, go down and kill him!"

However, Wang Hou also played high and cold, and ignored her at all. The binoculars in his hand followed Yuan Yin's envoy team from disembarking to finishing formation and walking on the official road. He followed this statue He remained motionless like that, and finally, until he disappeared, he put down the paper binoculars and rubbed his eyes uncomfortably.

"Aren't you going to do it? They will all run away in a while!"

I really don’t know what kind of educational environment this Cao Hongjie was in when she was a child. The little girl danced with knives and guns, and she was crazy than men. , he simply rolled his eyes.

"If you want to send yourself to death! Pass my order! A person leads a horse to go to the bell, and must not be within [-] steps of Han Yin's mission, keep up!"

Seeing Wang Hou inserting his sword back, he was actually kicking his horse back and slowly descending the mountain. On the other side, the courting envoys were also going further and further away. Cao Hongjie couldn't help but blushed again impatiently, pointing The back of descending the mountain gritted his teeth angrily with contempt.

"Fearfuls! Cowards!"

…………

Although the tiger and leopard riders from Cao Hongjie to the bottom were quite dissatisfied with Wang Hou's decision, they were well-trained, and if Wang Hou didn't order an attack, they could only bear with it, hanging far behind the Yuan Shu mission. However, what Cao Hongjie didn't expect was that the torment was extremely long. In the autumn and summer weather of September, a group of cavalry just followed Yuan Yin's buttocks for two and a half days without launching an attack.

"I will coddle a nest!"

Seeing Wang Hou holding up a paper tube mysteriously every day, but not ordering an attack, Cao Hongjie was so anxious that his aunt came early, and she followed him every day to grind her teeth.
