Chapter 204: Small Village
Chapter 204: Small Village
After a quiet march of one night, Huo Yun and his party gradually bypassed the flank of Zhongshan King's army and slowly moved to his rear.
"Young master, we may be able to reach some safe areas in a period of march," A Er said with a smile looking at the scene in front of him.
"Yes! After these days of travel, we have finally come to this place, and the road behind is about to go. The messenger immediately sent people to explore the surrounding terrain, and tell me as soon as there is the enemy's movement.
No!
"Bear by the way, A Er, do you think it's better to go to the city now or stay outside?"
Huo Yun knew that there was a city behind this, which was an important supply base for Zhongshan Wang's grain and grass. It was undoubtedly easier to inquire about the news from the city, but once it was exposed, the danger was self-evident.
"I think we can start from two aspects. On the one hand, we can send some to stay outside the city and inquire about the news while watching the surrounding forms. On the other hand, we can also send some people to sneak into the city and inquire about the news of the king of Zhongshan."
Well, that's what I'm going to do. Just do as you said!
I don't know how the situation of the court is now. I hope it won't go in a bad direction.
"You must be the most clear about the situation in the court, young master, and you don't have to think too much about it. We'd better manage our current matter now, and the rest can be put aside."
En!
Looking at the resting team, Huo Yun smiled faintly at the corners of his mouth. These people are all important forces in their hands. With them, they can have a foothold in the world.
Only with enough strength can we have a matching position.
Huo Yun is working towards this aspect and believes that one day he will achieve his goals.
Don't believe in fate and God's will. Fate should be in your own hands and change your luck against the sky.
"Your excellency, we found a small village in front of us." A soldier said respectfully.
Huo Yun frowned and found that a small village also needs to report to himself? It's not that he found the enemy, but Huo Yun suddenly realized the next sentence.
"The investigation found that there was an enemy in it, and it is estimated that they are arresting strong men," the soldier investigated himself and said everything carefully.
"In which direction!" As soon as the black pig heard that there was an enemy, he suddenly looked excited and asked hurriedly.
The soldier knew the position of the black pig beside Huo Yun and said, "Twenty miles to the right."
"Your Excellency, shall we kill them and solve them immediately," the black pig couldn't wait to say.
Heqing said with a smile, "My brother-in-law, the Black Pig Brothers, are right. Since we met such a guy, we must not let them go. They must have a huge plan to catch the strong man. You must want to expand your army."
The people around him immediately gave him a blank look, "Nonsense, what is the purpose of catching strong men to expand the army?" But when Huo Yun heard this sentence, his heart suddenly tightened. Now the army of the king of Zhongshan has almost never experienced any war. Even the previous wars were also broken bamboo, and the army did not lose anything. How could he suddenly expand his army this time? Unless he has made a major move recently, and he couldn't help but feel cold when he thought of this.
I may indeed go to that place to have a good look. This Zhongshan King is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Sect the order, immediately move towards the small village 20 miles on the right, put a cover on the horse's mouth, and wrap the horse's feet in cotton"
No!
A team quickly ran in that direction, as fast as lightning, but silent, like a gust of wind blowing across the earth.
"Your excellency is that small village," the soldier said, pointing to the small village below.
This is a highland. From here, you can clearly see a small village below. Following his eyes, Huo Yun can even find the movement of black spots, which is estimated to be the people of the small village. There are more and more black spots, and you can clearly see that the black spots are slowly gathering together.
"Adult, shall we take action?" Wu Ke said in a low voice.
"No hurry, let's watch it now and say that you send someone to go down secretly, figure out the number of enemies and the situation, and then we will take action."
No! Wu Ke listened and retreated slowly.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! You and you, gather on Daping immediately." The soldier shouted loudly in the small village.
"Master, please, this child is only 12 years old. Can you not join the army?" A woman knelt on the ground and pleaded.
"What's the matter? I joined the army when I was 11 years old. He is now 12 years old and should have done his best for our majesty." The soldier kicked the woman away and picked up the 12-year-old child in one hand.
The child couldn't help crying as he watched his mother being kicked to the ground and the fierce soldier.
"Why are you crying? I'll kill you now," the soldier roared.
The child choked and kept twitching at the corners of his mouth.
"You take him to Daping"
"Okay, captain, a soldier took the child from his hand and walked to Daping outside."
The captain sneered at the woman who fell to the ground. Do you want to save your son?
"Think! As long as the military master can let my child go, I can be an ox and a horse. The woman cried when she heard that there was a chance to save her son.
"What kind of cattle and horses? I don't need any cattle and horses around me."
Then what do you want me to do! My husband has gone out to fight, and now there is no news. There is nothing to honor the military master when the family is poor.
"I don't want your filial piety. If you want to save your precious son, as long as you treat me happily, I may let your son go as soon as I am happy." With that, he looked at the charming woman who fell to the ground with a gutter smile.
"You..." As soon as she heard this, the woman suddenly retreated in horror.
What am I? I am very kind-hearted, otherwise your son will be sent to the battlefield. Do you know the chances of people like him to survive on the battlefield? Let me tell you, if a person like him dies on the battlefield, do you want to see your precious son die like that?
After listening to his words, the woman's face couldn't help but change again. Finally, her love for the child prevailed over everything. She raised her head and said, "As long as I follow you, can you let go of my child?"
Of course, I said one is one, two is two.
"But I don't like to force. If you don't want to, I won't force you. But in that case, I can't help your son's business. You have to think it over," the captain said as he saw her appearance.
"I would..." The woman gritted her teeth and said.
"Really, you have to think clearly."
"I have figured it out. As long as you are willing to let my child go and ask me to do anything, I am willing to dress up as a military master," the woman said firmly.
Good!
The captain raised her chin with his right hand and said ambiguously, "Then let's go into the room to talk about it. It's still a long time, isn't it? With that, his big hand slipped down her neck into her skirt."
The woman trembled all over, but did not take his hand away, because she knew that her son was still in his hands, and she could endure all humiliation for her only child.
Touched it fiercely, put your finger on your nose, took a deep breath, and nodded with satisfaction, "Let's go into the house!" With that, he walked into the small low room.
Watching the soldier enter the house, the woman's face changed several times, and finally sighed, "The child's father, I am also helpless. When the child is safe, I will definitely apologize with death."
He stood up tremblingly, with a reluctant smile on the corners of his mouth, and walked in.
"Your Excellency, we have investigated the situation of the small village. There are only more than 30 people in it. They are infantry and their combat effectiveness is not very high." Wu Ke whispered to Huo Yun.
Huo Yun nodded.
"Five an order, 50 people surrounded the village, and the other 50 people entered the village. Remember not to let one go," Huo Yun said coldly.
"Don't worry, I won't let them go," said with a smile.
"Let's go!" Huo Yun stood up with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth.
