Chapter 987 Venting the Mud

  Under the **** of several personal guards, Xie Guini and his party ran for an unknown amount of time, until they were exhausted, and then stopped to catch their breath.

  At this time, when the weather was at its hottest, Xie Guini and his team ran for a long time, thirsty and tired.

   But they all escaped in a hurry, and none of them had food on them.

   In desperation, Xieguini had to ask people to go nearby to see if there was any water source.

   At this moment, only the sound of "da da da" horseshoes came from behind.

  Xie Guini was already frightened, and he was so frightened that he wanted to get on his horse.

   "My lord, it's not chasing soldiers, there is only one person."

  The personal guard was busy, looked back, and quickly reminded.

  Xie Guini heard the words, looked back, and saw that a man and a horse were chasing him from behind.

   It doesn't seem right to say that it is chasing.

   That ride did not intend to stop at all, it seemed that it was planning to bypass Xie Guini and his party.

  But the knight on the horse turned his head and glanced at Xie Guini and the others, and suddenly let out a "huh" before turning around again.

  The man tightened the horse rope, and the bowl-sized horse's hooves stepped heavily on the grass, splashing dirt.

  Although he was on the run, Xie Guini subconsciously marveled at the movement of a man and a horse in front of him:

   "What a handsome horse!"

   Then I looked up, who is not the steward of the caravan?

  After seeing Xie Guini and his party clearly, the steward hurriedly got off his horse and asked in surprise:

   "Leader Nigui, why is it you?"

  Seeing that the other party was alone, Xie Guini breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked vigilantly:

"How will you be here?"

  It's okay not to mention this, but when it is mentioned, the caravan steward is actually touched by a sad thing in his heart.

  The surprise of the encounter turned into sorrow, and he sighed:

   "This is fate. I worked so hard to get from Yinshan Mountain to Pingcheng, but I didn't expect that I still didn't escape the war."

   "My goods are all thrown in Pingcheng!" The steward began to wipe away his tears, "There were so many people when they came, but now I escaped alone."

   "How can I explain when I go back, what crime did I do..."

  The more the steward talked, the more sad he became, and in the end he broke his chest and burst into tears regardless of his manner.

  Xie Guini was fled to Pingcheng for no apparent reason, and there was already an evil fire in his heart that had nowhere to go.

  Seeing the steward like this again at this time, I felt very impatient, and shouted:

   "Stop howling!"

  The steward was so frightened that he shut his mouth quickly.

  Xie Guini looked at the handsome horse next to the steward, and thought to himself that this guy is not much better than that woman, and will only cry when encountering things. It is a pity that such a good horse falls into his hands.

  People on the prairie like horses, especially when they meet a good horse, they regard it as their life.

  Xie Guini wanted to rush to Yanmen Fort as soon as possible at this time, and thought to himself, if he had such a good horse, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?

  The steward is also a person with clear eyebrows and eyes. Seeing the expression of Xie Guini, he seems to know that his situation is not good, so he has nothing to say:

   "Xie Gui Ni chief, is this planning to go to Yanmen fortress?"

  Xie Guini was taken aback: "How do you know?"

  The steward laughed dryly:

   "To tell you the truth, I also intend to go to Yanmensai, and then go to Taiyuan from there. When I came here to sell goods, I dealt with the Liu family in Taiyuan, so I have some friendship."

   "This time, I just want to join the Liu family. After this period of military chaos, I will find a way to go to Guanzhong from Hedong and return to Liangzhou from Guanzhong. It will be much more convenient."

   Taiyuan Liu family?

  Xieguini has no impression, because there are all Huns in Taiyuan.

  The commanders of the five Huns, each with the surname Liu.

  Even the Huns have the surname Liu, so one can imagine how many families surnamed Liu in Taiyuan?

  The Xianbei people were originally the slaves of the Huns, and later the slaves became the masters of the grasslands, but the Huns could only huddle in the Taiyuan area.

  The slave not only occupied everything that the master had, but even rode on the head of the master.

  The Huns have ghosts if they can balance their hearts.

  This is also the reason why Wei Guo put the Xianbei people in Yanmen County with confidence.

  Because even if the Xianbei people want to go south, they have to pass the Huns first.

  Seeing that Xie Guini didn't seem to be listening to her own words, but kept her eyes on her horse frequently.

  The steward wiped his forehead involuntarily, as if he was sweating a little.

  When he noticed that Xie Guini and the guards were in a panic, his eyes lit up, and he quickly took off the pouch on the horse:

   "Leader Xiegui Ni, I see that you are a little tired, I still have some food here, do you want to eat something before we go on the road?"

   "Is there anything to eat?"

   When Xie Guini heard that the steward had brought food, his attention was immediately attracted, and the idea of ​​snatching the horse was immediately put aside.

   "Yes, yes, but it is not a delicious food, the leader should not dislike it."

   While talking, the steward handed over a small bag containing dry food and a water bag to several people.

   It would be nice to have something to eat at this time, how can there be room for pickiness?

  Xie Guini opened the grain bag, but saw something like bean flour inside.

  Having dealt with caravans for a long time, he naturally knew that this was the dry food that caravans often carry on long journeys.

   grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, and took another sip of water.

  Dry food is really not very tasty. Although it is a bit sweet, it has a little bitter taste, as if it is mixed with bitter jaggery.

  But Xie Guini hadn't eaten a bite since waking up in the morning, and then ran all the way, already hungry.

  At this time, he even felt that this dry food was more delicious than the barbecue he had eaten before.

  The guards also imitated the example. They couldn't wait to pour a few mouthfuls of water into their mouths, and then ate a few mouthfuls of dry food.

   After a while, the food and water brought by the steward were divided up.

  Dry food is very full, and Xieguini burped.

   Then his eyes fell on the horse in charge again.

  The man in the grassland is open and aboveboard, if he wants to grab a horse, he must grab the horse.

  Even if you give me something to eat, after I have eaten and recovered my strength, I still want to grab it.

   "It's a nice horse."

   "Xie Guini leader like it?"

  Hearing the words, the steward seemed to know that there was no escape after all, the smile on his face was uglier than crying, and he said with great pain:

   "If the leader likes it, just take it and ride it."

  Xie Guini was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Send me?"

   "Yes, the so-called BMW donates to heroes, please, leader."

  The steward held on to the bridle with great reluctance, and handed it to Xie Guini.

  Xie Guini was overjoyed, he wanted to kill this person and take the BMW.

  I didn't expect the other party to be so savvy, so let's just save his life for the time being.

  He hurried forward, about to get on his horse.

  I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been running for too long and my blood isn’t flowing well. For a while, my legs were a little weak, and I stepped on the stirrup twice before I managed to get back on the horse.

  As soon as he sat on the horse's back, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he couldn't sit still, so he fell off on the spot.

"grown ups!"

  The personal guard was shocked, and was about to rush up to help Xie Guini up.

  Unexpectedly, they only ran two steps, and only heard a few "plop plop", all of them were so weak in limbs that they fell to the ground and couldn't get up.

  Seeing this, the steward immediately clapped his hands, laughed and said, "That's true! That's true!"

  Xie Guini endured the dizziness, was terrified, and shouted:

"what happened?"

   "Of course the dry food is mixed with narcotics."

  The steward said with a smile.

   "What, what anesthetic?"

   Never heard of such a thing!

   "Naturally, it is a unique anesthetic in the Liangzhou Army."

  The steward looked at Xie Guini with a look of looking at a country idiot.

  In this era, the probability of soldiers who died due to injuries and those who died in battle was basically 50-50.

  The only exception is the Liangzhou Army.

  The injured soldiers of the Liangzhou Army had a much higher survival rate than others.

   This is also one of the reasons why the Liangzhou Army has a strong combat effectiveness.

  Compared with the contemporary army, the Liangzhou Army has an additional medical system protection, just injured, how can it be so easy to die?

  The old soldiers who were injured on the battlefield but survived, each one is a valuable asset in the army.

   This credit should go to Nanxiang Medical College.

  Medical students of Nanxiang Medical College, the place of practice includes Nanzhong Shuzhong Liangzhou.

  Whether it is livestock or labor, it is the head of the army, and the wounded soldiers in the army are all the objects of their training.

  In order to alleviate the suffering of soldiers as much as possible when treating their injuries, the medical school has tried various methods over the years.

  From the original Toad Su, to Hua Tuo's Mafeisan, and then to the hallucinogenic herbs in medical books.

  With the help of Mrs. Mei, the witch doctor of Nanzhong, some legendary poisonous mushrooms in Nanzhong that can drive people crazy have even been used for experiments by curious medical interns.

   This kind of anesthetic is a failed product of anesthetics, or a semi-successful product.

  Because it only achieves part of the effect of anesthetics, it is only anesthesia but not anesthesia.

   It doesn't mean that you don't get drunk, it will make people's reactions dull, and you won't be able to control your hands and feet, but you won't fall asleep.

   And the taste is a bit bitter.

  Dry food is mixed with a lot of brown sugar, but there is still no way to completely conceal its bitter taste.

  However, it also has an advantage, that is, the medicine works quickly.

  Medical workers in the army often administered this medicine to soldiers who were not so seriously injured when they operated on them.

  In this way, there is no need to waste precious anesthetics, and they can avoid subconsciously struggling violently because of pain, which will affect the operation.

  At this time, the steward straightened his back, so he didn't have the humble appearance at the beginning.

   "You are, who are you?"

  Xie Guini asked weakly.

   "A certain is Quantinghou of Dahan Street, leading the governor of Liangzhou, and also the coach of General Xi's command, Han Long is also!"

  While talking, Han Long untied the hemp rope from the horse's back, preparing to tie up these guys.

  Seeing Xie Guini and the others slumped on the ground powerlessly, staring at him in horror, his face full of begging for mercy, Han Gaoshou felt a burst of pride in his heart:

   No wonder the masters of chivalrous novels like to play games in the world, pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

  It turned out that when I finally revealed my identity, I was so comfortable, I learned it!

   Having been with Feng Junhou for so many years, Han Gaoshou felt that he really benefited a lot (he didn't feel that he was close to ink and black).

  Seeing that Han Long didn't intend to kill himself, Xie Guini felt like he had narrowly escaped death.

  When he was tightly bound by the other party, he finally couldn't help asking:

   "This strong man, what you just said is Liangzhou..."

  He was dizzy all over, and he couldn't even control his tongue. He tried hard to recall the long string of names just now, and then continued:

   "But the general who conquered the west of Liangzhou? But isn't this in the east of Liangzhou? How come the general who conquered the west didn't conquer the west but conquered the east?"

  I stayed in Yanmen well and didn't provoke anyone. The general who conquered the west ran thousands of miles east to conquer himself. Isn't this sick?

  Han Gaoshou was stunned, then kicked Xie Guini and cursed:

   "There's so much nonsense! General Zhengxi is the General Zhengxi of the Great Han. The Great Han can conquer wherever he wants. Do you still want to have an opinion?"

  Xie Guini didn't dare to say anything.

  As the most adaptable tribal leader on the grassland, he knows the way to save his life.

  In this case, don't annoy the other party.

   After confirming that there was no problem with the binding, Han Long took out an object from the horse's backpack.

  Xie Guini took a closer look, wasn't it the fireworks that were set off last night?

   But seeing Han Long light the fuse of the firework tube, when the fuse was finished burning, there was only a "swoosh", which was much sharper than last night.

   Then a gorgeous red flower exploded from the sky.

  Seeing Han Long's strange behavior, Gui Ni was full of doubts, but dared not speak out.

  The sun was too high, and Xieguini and his guards were tied together like candied haws, making it even more stuffy.

  The water I drank not long ago seemed to have turned into beads of sweat again.

   After waiting for half an hour, there seemed to be the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

   Everyone raised their eyes and saw a group of people approaching rapidly from the north.

  Although he didn't report his hope, Xie Guini still opened his eyes wide, trying hard to see who came.

  Suddenly, his heart began to throb. These people who came seemed to be dressed as members of his own tribe.

  Forcibly holding back his excitement, he secretly glanced at Han Long.

  But seeing Han Long put his hand on the saddle, ready to get on the horse at any time.

   Only when the visitor got closer, Han Long relaxed his body and laughed.

  Dozens of horsemen rushed over and surrounded more than ten people. The leader asked in surprise and joy:

   "Coach Han, did you really catch Xieguini?"

  Xiegui Niben was still thinking about how to wait for himself to be rescued and how to torture Han Long to death.

   I didn't expect to hear this, and my heart suddenly became cold.

   They are actually a gang?

  Han Long kicked Xieguini again:

   "This person is the one who vented his anger. I don't know what General Guan will do next?"

   "General Huo is right behind, and General Guan sent us to look for Coach Han."

   "General Guan said, regardless of whether Coach Han catches up with Xie Guini or not, we have to pretend to be fleeing barbarians and go to Yanmen Fortress to meet with the internal response in the Fortress, just in case."

  These people are the Hu Qi carefully selected by General Guan from the Liangzhou Army, and they are not comparable to those Hu Qi from Yi Cong.

  It is a naturalized Hu who has Han nationality.

   At this time, there is no need to pretend at all, that is also a full-fledged barbarian.

  At this time, Xie Guini listened to their conversation, and suddenly felt ashamed.

  Han Long nodded: "That's very good."

   Immediately, a few people were left watching Xie Guini, waiting for Huo Yi, the leader who came from behind.

  He himself followed the original plan and led the people to continue to go to Yanmen Fortress.

  If Pingcheng is the first line of defense of Bingzhou, then Yanmen Fortress is the most important and most dangerous gateway of Bingzhou.

   But in fact, Yanmen Fortress is actually undefended all year round.

   After all, with a watchdog, coupled with the strength of the Han Dynasty, setting up defenses in Yanmen Fortress is basically a waste of money and food.

   Of course, not without exceptions.

  For example, the Tanshihuai era.

  For another example, when Ke Bi Neng was powerful, the former guard Xianbei led the move, and also discussed with Bi Gui, the governor of Bingzhou, to station troops in Yanmen to contain Ke Bineng.

   It's just that before the plan could be implemented, the trick died.

   Otherwise, Bu Dugen would not be able to lead his tribe to escape from Yanmen Fortress easily.

   Bi Gui led the army out of the fortress to pursue without authorization, not for no reason, but because he had already discussed with Qianzhao about the plan to go out of the fortress to attack Ke Bineng.

  It's just that he didn't manage Yanmensai well in advance, and he didn't have a clear understanding of his superiority and inferiority, so in the end he was defeated by Ke Bineng upstairs.

  But it was precisely because of this that after Qin Lang defeated Ke Bineng and the Budu allied forces, he left 3,000 soldiers to guard the Yanmen Fortress.

   It can be said that these three thousand Wei troops are the biggest obstacle preventing General Guan from entering Bingzhou.

   Governor Feng did not know how much preparation he had made for this.

  That's why General Guan still acted cautiously after he caught Xie Guini, and made multiple preparations according to the original plan to prevent accidents.

   What she didn't expect was that the current situation in Yanmen Fortress was completely different from the original information.
