Chapter 91 Adventure Return
Tan Hong was stunned, "You mean..."
Zhang Yi sighed, "I mean, we can't count on anyone now. We can only count on ourselves. After Xu Shao leaves, we will take advantage of the opportunity to leave Weijun on the day of King Wei's military expedition and sneak back to Wudi. As long as we settle down our family, what can Xu Shao do?"
Tan Hong hesitated to you, "But now is the time for King Wei to use people..."
"Oh, my big brother, we are too busy to take care of ourselves now. Although we are suspected of being a deserter, do you really want to step into Xu Shao's trap? Not only do you lose your reputation, but even your family is doomed?"
"Okay, it's up to you. Anyway, we are going to send troops soon. We will leave alone. I'm sure King Wei won't blame us too much, alas!" Tan Hong put away his dagger and his face was full of resentment.
After the silence, Zhuo Ruitong came out of his invisibility and secretly squeezed a cold sweat. "Zhuo Yuanle, do you still have a trace of brotherhood? You want to see it so quickly. Don't worry!"
As soon as he returned to the Wei Palace, he still had time to find Zhou Yanting, but he saw Mei Zheng's face full of joy, and his eyes were moist. Zhuo Ruitong seemed to have a premonition of something. He rushed to Mei Zheng in a few steps and one step. "Is the news? Is it about Nie Kong or his wife?
"Nye, Nie Junshi is back!" Mei Zheng stammered because of excitement, "Lord, they are back, and they are finally back!"
"Where are the people, where are the people? Tell me quickly, where are Nie Kong and their people? Where are they?" Zhuo Ruitong, regardless of his superiority and inferiority, grabbed Mei Zheng's sleeve and said, "Quick, take me to see him!"
"Lord, don't worry!" Mei Zheng said in a trembling voice, "In fact, Nie Junshi and his people are still more than 30 miles away from Weijun. They sent fast horses back to report the news first. The sergeant who reported the news said that it was not convenient for Nie Junshi to enter the city and would go to the original station outside the city to camp. After settling down, they will naturally come to meet the Lord!"
"Oh, yes, yes, it's not convenient for them to enter the city, but how can I bear to wait for him to come to see me? Mei Zheng, you should quickly prepare some wine and dishes, bring the palace guards, and go to the camp with me to wait for Nie Kong. I can't wait to see Nie Kong immediately!"
"Yes, I'm going now. Please wait a moment, prince!" Mei Zheng hurriedly retreated, and Zhuo Ruitong was like an ant on a hot pot. "Nie Kong, Nie Kong, you haven't heard from me for so long. I'm going crazy. Well, as long as you can return safely, the rest is secondary!"
Quickly, Zhuo Ruitong led the bodyguards to the camp in the suburbs. As soon as he arrived, he saw a stream of smoke rushing straight to the camp from afar. Zhuo Ruitong tilted his head and saw some ragged people mixed in the horses, but he couldn't tell who was who.
Finally, when the horse group slowed down and stopped a hundred yards away, and one of the people in gray clothes came straight to Zhuo Ruitong, turned over and fell off the horse, and knelt to the ground. "Lord, Nie Kong is lucky to live up to his mission and bring you hundreds of Yuzi fast horses!"
Zhuo Ruitong's nose was sore and his throat was choked. He quickly got off his horse and went forward to help Nie Kong, "Nie Kong, you, you, I'm worried about you!"
Nie Kong looked up, and Zhuo Ruitong was shocked. In just a few months, Nie Kong became black and thin, his eyes were deep, his unkempt, his face was covered with mud, and his clothes were similar to the beglings in the city, and his body was still stained with blood. His soap boots were worn out, and even his toes were Exposed outside.
"Ne Kong, you are suffering!" Zhuo Ruitong was stunned and said, "Why, why did it happen like this? What happened on the way?"
Nie Kong's eyes turned red, "Lord, we have been chased and intercepted by the riding in Beirong all the way. In order not to let the war horses be lost, the soldiers fought hard and lost more than half of them, even Mr. Jiang Zhidao..."
Zhuo Ruitong's eyes were stunned, "What are you talking about? Jiang Zhidao? Jiang Zhidao, is he dead? Can't you come back again?"
Nie Kong did not answer, but his eyes said everything.
Zhuo Ruitong let go of his hand to help Nie Kong, "How can this be? How can I explain to Huanying that Mr. Jiang is loyal and upright? Originally, he could have been rich and peaceful in business for a lifetime, but he didn't expect that he fought for us. Ruo Huanying knew that Nie Kong said that she would blame me."
Nie Kong was silent for a moment, "My subordinates are also very sad. Even more than 70 soldiers in the Mingsha camp have been buried in the yellow sand. Although they have finally returned, their faults are unforgivable. Please punish them!"
"No, that's not what I mean. Nie Kong, it's better for you to come back than anything else. Forget it. Life and death are fate. Come on, let's return to the camp together. Tell me well about it. How did you come these days?"
It turned out that after the fierce battle in the desert, the two teams of Nie Kong and Xu Chenglin cooperated in a place. Since their whereabouts had been exposed, instead of continuing to cover up, it was better to march with all their strength and enter the territory of Yuzi as quickly as possible. In the small village on the Yuzi border, Nie Kong met with Jiang Zhidao's people and exchanged with each other. Looking at the situation on the road, Jiang Zhidao said that although they were temporarily safe, the return trip would be more dangerous than when they came. Fortunately, the gold, silver and jewelry were replaced with horses. Everyone needed to pick up the most important one to carry. Others, such as cars, were all discarded. Everyone changed horses and rushed, and probably could fight for one. Nie Kong also agreed with the probability of returning safely.
After they entered the city of Yuzi, because of the large number of horses exchanged, they delayed five or six days to gather hundreds of the best horses. At the same time, they learned from the Yuzi people how to catch up with these horses, training methods and so on. In this way, they were fully prepared and embarked on the return journey after staying in Yuzi for eight days. The road.
Nie Kong divided the soldiers of Mingsha Camp, who have good riding skills, into groups of ten people, each responsible for a hundred horses. Their main task is to ensure that no horses will be lost or fallen behind. In addition to being responsible for the front and right, the rest of the people are responsible for vigilance, and also learn to ride in Beirong. More than ten people take turns to be the outposts on the front road. If the sent outpost is If it does not return within an hour, it means that there is likely to be trouble ahead, and the team will stop and prepare to meet the enemy according to the terrain.
However, Nie Kong's detailed arrangement was arranged. After all, their people and horses were limited, and the Beirong riding was very cunning, so that the reconnaissance of the sentry did not find anything abnormal, so he finally fell into a siege and was trapped in a valley. After several failed breakthroughs, Nie Kong and Jiang Zhidao discussed and decided that instead of overthrowing the whole team, it was better to sacrifice some horses to break out. Therefore, taking advantage of another attack by the enemy at night, Nie Kong shocked the horse group and ran around, while he and Jiang Zhidao divided into two ways, with the cover of the frightened horse group and the night, Break through in two directions.
After a night of chaos, his passers-by finally rushed out of the valley. At the same time, relying on the special flute whistle used by the Yuzi people to tame horses, he gathered a lot of scattered horses back. Soon after, Guo Xiang, who followed Jiang Zhidao, also caught up with some people and horses. Unfortunately, it was this At night, Jiang Zhidao, who was not good at martial arts and riding, fell from the horse and was trampled into mud by the frightened horses behind, and even the body could not be retrieved.
It was not easy to get out of danger, and they were not allowed to recover from their sadness. Beirong Youqi quickly gathered the rest of the people and horses to chase their tracks. Guo Xiang was ashamed that he failed to protect Jiang Zhidao. After volunteered to break, he won a lot of retreat time for Nie Kong and Xu Chenglin, but Guo Xiang and the four he took. More than a dozen soldiers from the Mingsha camp have never returned to the team.
With a glass of cold wine, Nie Kong looked miserable. "According to my subordinates, the Beirong Youqi who attacked us was just their small tribe. There were about a thousand people and horses. The first time they went out, they were embarrassed by the soldiers. I was really unwilling!"
Zhuo Ruitong shook his head gently, "No, it's not easy for you to fight against ten. Don't blame yourself too much. Nie Kong, I'm afraid that I'm not half as good as yours. Since it's a war, death and injury are inevitable. They have sacrificed their lives for the sake of our country and the peace of the people. I swear When the world is stable, I will build hundreds of pagodas for them to surpass their heroic souls and undead!"
Nie Kong nod silently and asked, "Lord, what has happened these days since your subordinates left? What's our big event and plan?"
Zhuo Ruitong sighed, "Nie Kong, in the past month when you have been away, Chaogang has undergone earth-shaking changes. Now the world is in chaos, and I need your strength, but your body..."
"Oh? Earth-shaking changes? I would like to hear more about it. The Lord doesn't have to worry about my subordinates. My subordinates are strong. Although I have suffered a lot in these days of long journeys, I will not fall down. If the Lord has any plans, just tell my subordinates.
"Well!" Zhuo Ruitong personally poured a glass of wine for Nie Kong and said, "I know that you are impatient and can't put things in your heart. I tell you that everything that has happened recently is okay, but you must take good care of yourself, and you can resume military affairs for at least three or five days. Otherwise, I would rather not act."
"This..." There was a embarrassment on Nie Kong's face. However, the king of Wei was resolute and did not allow him to refute, so he had to reluctantly respond, "Well, I will listen to the arrangement of the king of Wei."
To make a long story short, Zhuo Ruitong then put Lou Xun's palace change before and after, as well as the secret agreement reached between him and Ye Suhe, the king of Zuo Xian, as well as the victory of the first battle led by Huanying in the Mingsha camp. He picked up one by one and said to Nie Kong. Nie Kong was surprised for a while and sighed secretly. Unexpectedly, he had left for more than a month. After giving birth to so many things, it has really been a hundred years in the world.
Finally, Nie Kong was silent for a long time before saying, "It seems that it's the right time for my subordinates to come back. If not, it will delay the Lord's big plan!"
Zhuo Ruitong smiled gently, "I know that you will definitely come back. You and Huanxuan, one is a brother and the other is a confidant. Neither of them can be missing!"
When Nie Kong heard this, his eyes turned red again. After a lifetime of hardships, he could hear the prince's heartfelt words again. All his efforts were only two words left, which was worth it! Reluctantly restraining the waves in his heart, Nie Kong was not a person who was good at showing his emotions, so he didn't say anything. He only waited for his mood to calm down a little before saying, "Just listening to what the Lord said, there seems to be unfinished words. I don't know what's going on that put the Lord in a dilemma?"
Zhuo Ruitong stared at Nie Kong, "It's really a brother. I can see through my heart. What I'm embarrassed is not one thing, but a person."
"Who?" Nie Kong and Zhuo Ruitong looked at each other.
"Yuan Can!" Zhuo Ruitong said word by word, "My royal brother!"
Nie Kong thought for a moment, "Has his whereabouts been confirmed?"
"Not yet!" Zhuo Ruitong said, "Now the Central Plains are so chaotic, and there are many pieces of news that are not so easy to confirm, but I have thought about it. What else does Yuancan have to go besides coming to Weijun? Zhuo Yuanle had already raised an army against the imperial court. If he defected to Zhuo Yuanle, wouldn't he seek his own death? Although the fourth brother is weaker, he is not stupid!"
"Indeed, coming to Wei County seems to be his only way to live!" Nie Kong sighed for a long time.
