Chapter 118 Killing Grey Hu
He said coldly: "Jiang was ordered by the king to escort the princess to Daliang. Shaoyuan Jun gave him a fool of himself and wanted to do something beastly to the princess and destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries. How should the wife explain?"
Mrs. Pingyuan looked at Shaoyuan Jun’s distorted expression because of pain and said anxiously: “Let him go first!”
He shook his head and said, "I want to send someone to escort Shaoyuan Jun back to the country and hand it over to the king for disposal."
Mrs. Pingyuan's face changed and she was in a mess. She blurted out: "No!" This time they went to Wei State and had already made plans to not return to Zhao. Now they were going to send Shaoyuan Jun back, which disrupted his plan.
At this time, the third princess Zhao Qian had already walked out of the tent, her face was pale and full of fear, and a hatred gaze appeared in her eyes. She looked at Shaoyuan Jun hatefully and said loudly: "Jiang Bingwei, kill him for me, and I will bear all the consequences."
Zhao Qian is the most beautiful princess of Big Zhao. Her appearance is not inferior to Zhao Ya, but her figure lacks a irritating smell compared to Zhao Ya. However, she has a noble and icy temperament, just like a small yellow chrysanthemum blooming in the early morning, which can best stimulate a man's desire to conquer.
When he was a servant in the palace, he had met Zhao Qian several times, but he was not very familiar with her.
"don't want!"
Mrs. Pingyuan exclaimed, afraid that after hearing Zhao Qian's words, she killed her child with one knife, and said hurriedly: "As long as you are willing to let my child go, I will agree to you any request."
He had already secretly deposed Shaoyuan Jun, so he naturally didn't want to cause trouble. On the surface, he said these words just to hit them. Hearing that Mrs. Pingyuan gave in, he said, "I can do it this time, but my husband always needs to make a letter to ensure that Mrs. Shaoyuan Jun will not do any evil actions to the princess in the future and obey the general's command. What if the lady wants?"
Mrs. Pingyuan clenched her teeth and spit out a word from her teeth: "Okay!"
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
...
After returning to the camp, Mrs. Pingyuan asked the doctor who accompanied the team to check for Shaoyuanjun and confirmed that Shaoyuanjun was not beaten, so she breathed a little relieved.
The secret force is used, and the internal force is used to destroy the meridians inside Shaoyuanjun, which ordinary doctors cannot detect.
Shaoyuan Jun had never suffered such humiliation, and said with hatred: "Mom, you must avenge your child. Kill him for me, and I want him to die!"
Mrs. Pingyuan has returned to her former majesty and said lightly: "Don't be anxious, my son, this person is of great use to your uncle. When your uncle's plan is completed, he will not let you deal with it."
The anger in Shaoyuanjun's heart was still difficult to calm down and said, "Can't my uncle change someone else? Is it necessary for him?"
Mrs. Pingyuan said: "This person's scheming and martial arts are very powerful. He will carry out the plan to assassinate King Anli, and the success is very likely. Moreover, the envoys sent by King Zhao can push this matter to King Zhao afterwards, killing two birds with one stone. Because he can't move him for the time being, you should be patient for a while."
Shaoyuan Jun said in a cold voice: "Okay, then let him live a few more days. When the plan is completed, I will definitely let him die without a burial place."
Mrs. Pingyuan smiled and said, "It is proved that my child has grown up."
The next day, the large group of people set off and headed south. A few days later, they arrived at the bank of the Huanshui River, a tributary of the Yellow River.
It was already late at this time, so they were asked to camp on the shore.
In the evening, Wu Zhuo hurried to report that they found the traces of horse thieves nearby: "Sister-in-law Sun, we found a horse thief ten miles away, with a number of about one thousand people. The leader is our old acquaintance, Gray Hu. The gray Hu horse thief was divided into two strands and hid on both sides of the Huanshui River. I think he planned to attack on both sides when we crossed."
There is an idiom called "Half-crossing" attack, which is also a tactic commonly used in ancient wars. When a large group of people crossed the river, not only will the speed slow down, but the troops will also be dispersed, and they are very likely to be attacked by the enemy. Moreover, when the people are on the river surface, there is no barrier to support them. A round of arrows can cause damage to soldiers and generals.
After thinking for a while, he found Cheng Xu, told him the enemy situation, and then said, "I plan to take my men and horses to the east and then go south along the river bank. This move will definitely be as big as Hui Hu expected. They will definitely cross the river and pursue us. At that time, the situation of the host and the guest will change, and it will be the time for us to counterattack."
After discussing the plan, they dispersed.
The next morning, Cheng Xu led a large group of troops to the east, and hid in the woods on the riverside with the secret regiments of Wujiabao, intending to ambush the horse thieves on the other side.
Most of the hour later, the sound of horse hooves sounded, and a horse thief of four or five hundred people rushed from the upstream direction and chased the bride-sending team led by Cheng Xu.
Then, there was also movement on the other side. About five or six hundred horse thieves appeared opposite, took out the raft from the hidden place, and hurriedly crossed the river.
When the horse thief was about to land, he led a hundred elite soldiers from the Wu family to attack from the dense forest and spread his bows and shot towards the river.
The horse thief standing on the bamboo raft is like a living target and cannot dodge at all. In a rain of arrows, more than half of the enemy was killed or injured.
Among them, the gray Hu was shot with a strong bow and killed himself on the spot. The remaining horse thieves hurriedly jumped into the river and swam to the other side. The arrow rain continued to shoot, and in the end there were less than a hundred people who could swim to the other side alive.
After dealing with these horse thieves, he immediately cried out to withdraw his troops and led the 100-man corps from Wujiabao to chase the bride-sending team.
After Cheng Xu took the bride-sending team to make a turn, he immediately garrisoned. Hundreds of soldiers opened their crossbows to welcome the arrival of the enemy.
The horse thief had just turned around and before he could calm down, he saw a rain of arrows coming towards him. He was caught off guard and immediately hundreds of people were caught in the arrow and fell off the horse.
The bride-sending team was determined to fight against unintentional, and in one round of attack, they killed the horse thieves and overturned the horses and were defeated, and they could only retreat in a hurry.
Cheng Xu led his men to chase and shot him, and then took several rounds of volleys, reaping the lives of hundreds of horse thieves again. After the horse thieves left the attack range of the bow and arrow, they were blocked again.
Both sides attacked each other, and the remaining horse thieves were quickly killed.
In this battle, only a dozen people on one side were injured, and no one lost their troops, but they almost wiped out the thieves of thousands of people and horses, winning a great victory, and the soldiers were greatly motivated.
Afterwards, he continued to walk southeast with his people.
A few days later, the spies discovered the traces of the horse thief again. This time the number of enemies was seven or eight thousand, ten times their number.
This group of horse thieves seemed to have no idea of attacking them, but stopped behind them, which brought great pressure to the soldiers and panic for a while.
This is the effect that horse thieves want. They want to use their power to suppress people and make the soldiers collapse without fighting.
This situation gives a chance instead.
After nightfall, a large group of people camped in a position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. They used bamboo dragonflies to go around the rear of the horse thief, and burned all their food and grass with a fire. Cheng Xu also led the soldiers to attack in the chaos and caught the horse thief off guard.
