Chapter 50 Trapped in Jiangdong
However, it is said that Liu Qi took the cavalry to chase Han Dang. At this time, there were only more than 900 cavalry left, and more than 400 cavalry were lost in the battle just now, which made Liu Qi suffer for a long time, which was also the reason why Liu Qi insisted on chasing Han Dang. These more than a thousand cavalrymen are his family and his only cavalry at present. One less than these elites died, but today, more than 400 people were killed and injured because of Han Dang. How can he not be angry?
There were scattered soldiers all the way. As soon as these soldiers saw Liu Qi and a few people, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get out. The shock of more than a thousand cavalry just now was really too great.
Liu Qi led the cavalry and galloped away. He didn't pay attention to these ordinary soldiers at all. On the one hand, he chased Han Dang to get out the tone just now, and on the other hand, he wanted to kill Han Dang. After all, Han Dang was one of the famous generals in Jiangdong, and it was inexhaustible benefits for Liu Qi to kill him.
Over the years, Jiangdong has often attacked Jingzhou, especially in Jiangxia, which is fighting almost every day. Liu Biao has no choice but to let it go. If Liu Qi can kill Sun Ce's general, then Liu Qi's position in Jingzhou will be more stable. If there is no special reason, then the next Jingzhou pastor will be him. .
I don't know when Han Dang in front of him has woken up. After seeing his situation clearly, Han Dang asked the deputy general to drive the horse to a single horse and jump up and ride on the horse. The vice general followed closely.
"Go separately." Before long, a fork in the road appeared in front of Han Dang and the deputy general, and Han Dang shouted to the deputy general. After saying that, Han was elected a road close to the left, and the deputy general had no choice but to go to the right.
By the time Liu Qi arrived with the cavalry, they had disappeared. Liu Qi said to Gan Ning, "Catch a few people to ask." Gan Ning immediately took several people to the fork in the road and caught several people back. When these people saw Liu Qi, more than a thousand cavalry, they were so scared that their legs were weak. They looked around with tremblingly. These people around were all murderous figures, afraid that they would be unhappy and kill them.
Liu Qi looked at the people in front of him and said, "Listen, I'll ask you a few questions. Whoever answers first and answers right, I'll let go. Do you understand?"
Seeing several people nodding, Liu Qi asked, "Did someone ride a horse from here just now?"
"Yes." Several people answered almost in the same voice.
"Then he went there."
"There." Some people point to the left and some point to the right.
Liu Qi frowned, and several people were shocked. One of them quickly said, "Two horses passed by just now. I don't know which horse the adult is talking about?"
"Oh, can you see that the black horse wants to go in that direction?" Liu Qi remembered that the general's horse was black.
"I went to the right." Several people answered with one voice again.
Liu Qi looked at the road on the right and said, "Chasing." After saying that, he ignored several people chasing him with the cavalry. The people behind them looked at the departing cavalry and breathed a sigh of relief. They sat on the ground and gasped, with their eyes full of happiness.
Liu Qi took the cavalry to chase along the road on the right side. The road became narrower and narrower. In the end, only two horses could pass side by side. Liu Qi felt that she was marching into the mountains.
After walking for another hour, the road became more and more rugged. The narrow road only accommodated a horse, and there were no falling rocks on the road. Liu Qi's face was getting worse and worse. He had determined that this road led to the mountains. Liu Qi couldn't figure out how Han Dang would run into the mountains.
Gan Ning came to Liu Qi and asked, "Master, do you still want to go inside?"
Liu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back." This road leads to the mountains, and the road below may be more difficult to walk. If you encounter another fork in the road, it is easy to get lost. It's better to go back. As for catching Han Dang, it is not easy to catch a person in this vast mountain. If you block the roads around the mountains in Jingzhou, you may still be able to catch it, but now you are in Jiangdong.
Liu Qi took the cavalry back, but before he reached the fork in the road, he heard the noisy voice over there. Liu Qi's face was a little solemn. He told Su Fei not to chase Jiangdong. It was Jiangdong's people who appeared here now.
Liu Qi turned his head and wink at Gan Ning, and then ordered the others to wait in place and go to the fork with Gan Ning. Not long after, the two came to the fork in the road, and saw that a high camp had been set up on the empty road. From time to time, there were shouts of killing in the camp. Judging from these voices, it was estimated that it was at least 20,000 people.
"It seems that the road to Jingzhou will be blocked." Liu Qi looked at Yingzhai with a worried face. This fork in the road is the closest to You County. There is only one way to You County. I'm afraid it's difficult to be occupied by them now.
The two retreated after observing for a long time and called Wang Yi to discuss together. Wang Yi was shocked when he heard that someone was on the road, and then looked at Liu Qi and waited for his decision.
Liu Qi looked at Gan Ning and said, "There are people who are good at sneaking under Xingba." They can't go back now. They have to try to inform Liu Pan and tell them not to worry.
Gan Ning turned around and left. After a while, he pulled a man over. Gan Ning pointed to him and said, "Master, this is Chen Qi. He is good at hiding. He did all our task of spying out the news."
Liu Qi looked at this person and saw that he was short and dark. He nodded and said, "Are you sure to sneak back to You County?"
Chen Qi said, "Yes."
"You immediately sneak back to You County and tell Liu Pan that we can't go back. Tell him not to worry. Immediately send someone to inform the military division of the situation here. Before the arrival of the military division, they can only stick to it and not fight. In addition, don't tell others that I'm in Jiangdong and let Liu Pan find someone to pretend to impersonate me and let others know me. In You County." Liu Qi ordered. The general who came this time is obviously extraordinary. Just from the camp Liu Qi, it can be seen that this person is definitely a first-class general. Liu Pan and others are not opponents at all. There are at least 20,000 people here, and although You County is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, it is not a problem to stick to it.
"Lord, don't worry, Chen Qi will definitely bring your words." After saying that, he turned around and left, and soon disappeared. Even Liu Qi didn't find out how he did it.
Looking at the disappeared Chen Qi and Liu Qi, he was relieved and looked at Gan Ning. Wang Yi said, "It seems that we can only go on." After saying that, the three of them marched along the path with their cavalry. It didn't take long to get to the place in the aisle just now.
The road down is getting narrower and narrower. Liu Qi can only order 800 people from Feihuwei and Jinfan to dismount and lead the horse. Fortunately, there is no fork in the road. Liu Qi is not worried about getting lost, but Liu Qi does not dare to stop, because their whereabouts are not secret. If the other party orders someone to catch up with them, it will be dangerous. The narrow space is not conducive to riding. The charge of soldiers.
"Lord, look." Gan Ning pointed to the road ahead.
Liu Qi looked along Gan Ning's fingers and saw a dark horse staying on the road. The deputy general of Han Dang next to him was looking at the road ahead with a sad face. When he heard the sound, he turned his head and happened to see Liu Qi and others. He was so scared that he immediately led the horse forward.
"Stop him." Liu Qi shouted.
"Miso." A feather arrow was inserted in front of the deputy general, only a little short from the deputy general. He was so scared that the deputy general did not dare to move again, but it was an arrow shot by Wang Yi. Gan Ning quickly came forward and grabbed the vice general and brought the vice general over.
When the deputy general saw Liu Qi, he immediately knelt down and said, "General, spare my life."
Liu Qi looked at the deputy general and asked, "What position do you have in the Han Dang army?"
"To the general's words, the little man is the deputy general in the army." The deputy general said in a hurry.
"Huh? It seems that Han Dang is not very good for a person like you to be a deputy general. Liu Qi was a little displeaute when he saw the deputy general bowing.
"Yes, yes, yes, what the general said. The little man became the vice general only because of his father's ancestors.
"Isn't Han Dang on your horse's back? Where is he now?" Liu Qi asked when he saw the deputy general alone.
"He grabbed another horse halfway and headed for another intersection." The deputy general said carefully.
"That's true." Liu Qi looked at the road ahead and asked, "Do you know where this road goes?"
"The villain doesn't know either." After saying that, he looked at Liu Qi carefully and was afraid that Liu Qi would kill him unhappily.
"You don't even know that you are from Jiangdong?" Liu Qi didn't believe it.
Seeing that Liu Qi didn't believe the vice general, he hurriedly said, "The villain really doesn't know that this is the first time for the villain to go on an expedition, and the villain is not very familiar with the situation around him."
"Then why did you stagnate just now?"
"I want to wait for the general to retreat and go back and take another road."
Liu Qi asked for a long time that there was nothing valuable. He gave him to Gan Ning to Jinfan, and then continued to move forward.
