Chapter 679 Pursuit (seven)(1/2)
thump!
Meng Yuan's body fell at the door of the tent and made a muffled sound.
Meng He was walking in front and suddenly heard a strange noise behind him. He turned around and saw a black shadow pounce on him in the blink of an eye. Meng He reacted very quickly, retreated and wanted to shout. But he knew that when the assassin lowered his head, a shiny black braid attacked like a black snake, and it wrapped around Meng He's neck.
The assassin retreated, and the braid was dragged out from Meng He's neck.
Meng He screamed, and when his braid was removed, he saw blood on his neck and a bloody hole appeared.
He covered his neck and widened his eyes to see the other person clearly.
However, the assassin did not stop, passed by him, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
A faint fragrance lingers at the nose. Meng He feels a little unwilling, but helpless. He kneels on his knees, falls on his head to the ground, and blood ticches down, instantly dyeing the ground red...
What awesome assassin!
Before Meng He lost consciousness, he couldn't help but sigh.
There was a mess in Feiwuman's camp.
The sound of war drums made them unable to rest at all.
After Meng Kai confirmed that there was no enemy attack, he returned to the tent, but found that his two beloved sons had turned into two corpses.
He seemed to have lost his soul, standing in front of the corpse, silent for a long time.
Meng Kai has many children, and there are even children who are like Meng Hai, who are like Lin Hai. But in his heart, he loves Meng Yuan and Meng He the most, and believes that the person who can inherit him in the future will be one of these two sons.
But now...
"Search it for me, you must find those Tang dogs and cut them into pieces!"
Meng Kai's eyes were red, and he roared like a wounded beast.
Seeing this, the tribes under their command dared not persuade him again. They rushed out of the camp and searched for the enemy's traces around.
However, the enemy disappeared!
In the valley about forty miles away from Feiwuman Camp, Yang Shouwen stood outside the mountain pass, looking into the distance with anger on his face.
At dawn, a petite figure appeared in front of him.
The young lady ran over excitedly, but saw Yang Shouwen's figure from afar, and immediately lowered her head, as if she had made a mistake.
"Young mom, where have you been?"
"I……"
The young lady's voice was very small and she seemed a little nervous.
"What have you promised me? You promised me that I will obey my orders and will not act without authorization.
But you... do you know that because of your unauthorized actions, we have to wait for you here, how many things have been delayed?"
Yang Shouwen was almost furious and strode up.
Originally, he planned to harass Feiwuman for a night, and rushed to Posa Mountain.
Unexpectedly, the young lady suddenly lost her trace, which forced him to hold his troops and wait for the young lady to come back in this valley.
Before the young lady came back, Yang Shouwen had even decided to teach her a lesson.
But when he approached Young Lady, his nose twitched slightly, and his face changed, "Young Lady, are you injured?"
He smelled a bloody smell, which came from the young lady.
Seeing Yang Shouwen's nervous look, the grievance in her heart disappeared all of a sudden.
She shook her head and whispered: "I was not injured, it was someone else's blood... Youniang wanted to help Brother Yizi, but Youniang could only kill people."
After hearing what she said, Yang Shouwen felt soft.
If Madam Mei hadn't kidnapped the young lady back then, she would have been a carefree little girl like she was at the foot of Hugu Mountain. However, it was the negligence that made her miss the best years in the world. Yang Shouwen felt a little heartbroken, so he took a step forward and hugged the young lady firmly in his arms.
"Young mother, don't be so disobedient again in the future. Do you know that if you suffer any harm, I will be very sad."
The young lady leaned in Yang Shouwen's arms and felt full of happiness.
She whispered: "Brother Sitzi, young lady just wants to help you, but forgetting that it will make you worry, I'm sorry!"
After hearing this, Yang Shouwen was even more moved.
He let go of the young lady, stretched out his hand, and rubbed her head hard.
"Okay, don't be reckless again in the future... Let's go, it's time for us to leave!"
"Um!"
The two returned to the valley, gathered their troops, and set off again.
At this time, Meng Kai seemed to be crazy and sent barbarians to search for traces of the enemy. It was not until noon that he gathered his troops and embarked on the way south again.
But when he set out again, he found various problems coming one after another.
First of all, everyone was exhausted from resting for two consecutive nights, so they were getting slower and slower.
The murder of Meng Kai's two sons also made the team feel anxious and fearful.
Everyone was worried that the enemy could kill Meng Yuan and Meng He in the camp without knowing it. Wouldn't that mean that they could kill others? This made everyone worried, and even began to gather together to complain.
Previously, Feiwuman had a general smooth sailing, and even killed Li Qing and ambushed the official army.
At that time, everyone thought that Meng Kai's decision was fine. Moving south to Annan was not difficult for them and was the best choice. However, when things began to go up and down, people began to doubt Meng Kai's decision.
What would happen if everyone continued to stay in Pui Rongshan?
Although corvee labor is a bit heavy and the taxes are relatively high, at least you can eat and wear a good meal and live a down-to-earth life.
But what about now?
But everyone had to be worried, and they had to suffer from wind and rain, and they had to endure the heat and sun... In addition, more than a dozen grain trucks were burned, which made the food and grass a little nervous, making everyone feel even more frightened. What's more, can you really live a good life after going to Annan? Feiwuman does have some relationship with the Annan barbarians, but that was a long time ago. Since they moved to Bashu to settle down, it has been hundreds of years. Can they still endure the suffering of the wilderness?
There are many things that cannot be thought of, and the more you think about, the more you feel more anxious.
Meng Kai was immersed in the grief of his son being killed and did not notice the emotional changes of his subordinates.
Posa Mountain is located at the junction of Zizhou and Jinzhou, just like the border mountains of two states.
The Anju Water flows out of the mountains, flows into the Fu River through Puci, Anju, Chongkan, and in the Chishui River.
The mountains stretch out, and they are east-west, high in the west and low in the east, with undulating peaks. From Zizhou to Jinzhou, you must pass through the ancient Posa Mountain Road, otherwise you will have to transfer to Suizhou, which will take at least a hundred miles more.
Night is coming.
When Yang Shouwen led his troops to the ancient road of Posa Mountain, he heard a news that made him angry.
"Zhang Xunxue said that without a commander, he could not mobilize his troops, nor would he obey your orders.
He also said that Li Jun was just a lieutenant, and could not mobilize troops at all, nor could he interfere in local affairs. He believed that Li Jun should return to Zizhou immediately and wait for the imperial court's assignment. Otherwise, he would have to take Li Jun..."
Zhang Xunqiu is the governor of Jinzhou.
Chen Zi'ang once said that this person is as timid as a mouse.
According to Yang Shouwen's idea, he would block Feiwuman on the ancient road of Posa Mountain.
But the six hundred soldiers in his hands must not last long. So he thought of finding Zhang for help.
If Zhang Xun was able to send Min Zhuang's assistance, he would definitely be sure to block Feiwuman from the north of Posa Mountain for one day. When reinforcements arrived, he could attack him from both sides. At that time, although the number of Feiwuman people was large, he would not escape the fate of defeat.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xunqiu refused to cooperate.
This also made Yang Shouwen feel a little tricky and couldn't make up his mind for a while.
Could it be that these six hundred people are entangled with more than ten thousand Feiwuman? Although Yang Shouwen is very confident, he is never arrogant.
"In this way, is Zhang Xunxue unwilling to send troops?"
“That’s right!”
Huan Daochen took a deep breath and said softly: "And I can see that the search was extremely rampant.
He is a local wealthy chief and has a lot of power. The Zhang family is in Jinzhou, and it has a great influence... In my opinion, he is timid on the one hand, but on the other hand, he is afraid that the Zhang family and Feiwuman are also related, so he is unwilling to offend him.
If we don’t stop it, I’m very worried that Zhang Xunxue will send Feiwuman to Luzhou without hesitation.”
Yang Shouwen frowned and his heart was filled with anger.
What Huan Daochen said is not impossible... Feiwuman has been secretly contacting the Heman tribe and secretly sold a lot of weapons and supplies to the Heman tribe. These weapons and supplies need to be passed through Jinzhou, and the Zhang family might also participate.
If this were the case, Zhang Xunxue would certainly not agree to block Feiwuman.
Maybe they wish Feiwuman could pass through Jinzhou and head south to Annan. This not only would make them safe, but they could continue to trade with Feiwuman in the future, and even sell goods to Annan through Feiwuman.
After thinking through the mystery, Yang Shouwen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Ming Yan once said that the situation in the Bashu area is very complicated, and many things seem inconspicuous or even unrelated, but they are a tangle that affects the whole body and leads to a series of changes. Therefore, Ming Yan told him to be cautious.
Now it seems... he is still a little reckless!
But when he opened the bow, he did not turn back. He had reached this point, and Yang Shouwen would definitely not retreat.
"Big cat, in your opinion, how should we block it?"
To be continued...
