Jian Yong always felt that something was wrong. Can't help but continue to ask: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the lord has sent to escort him."
Tao Qian suddenly laughed and said, "The Jingzhou Army is accompanied by 20,000 steps. What kind of soldiers and horses Tao needs to send."
This is why Tao Qian is in such a good mood. A few days ago, I was helpless because of the sudden arrival of so many Jingzhou troops. Who knew they all left at once. It's like a fishbone stuck in the throat. Suddenly he went down. Can you be unhappy
Jian Yong heard that the Jingzhou army was gone. Unexpectedly, some surprise. Murmured: "Jingzhou Army increased so much at once. How could it be withdrawn for no reason? There must be a ghost in it."
"Hey. Mr. Jian is suspicious." Tao Qian waved his hand. Said. "The Jingzhou army escorted the little genius. Tao has recovered from his illness. The little genius is homesick and eager to return to Xiangyang. Tao can't stay together. Since the little geniuses are gone. Those who are guarding Jingzhou. There is no reason for the army not to leave. These Jingzhou army not only escorted the little genius doctor, but also escorted the Zizhong brothers and sisters. Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
Jian Yong pondered and said, "No. Who will escort Master Mi back to Xuzhou again."
Tao Qian laughed. Said: "Where does Mr. Jian know. Zizhong's family has more than 10,000 servants. He has brought six to seven thousand people this time. Even if there is no Jingzhou army escort. Any thief who does not have eyes daring to move his mind.
Jian Yong asked, "Does Master Mi have brought a lot of belongings with him?"
Tao Qian said without hesitation: "The Mi family is the richest man in Xuzhou. His family is rich in wealth. His daughter is married. How can the dowry be less generous. Whoever marries his daughter is really a blessing in the previous life."
Jian Yong lost his voice: "The main tolerance is over. Mi Zhu will never come back."
Tao Qian is not stupid. Jian Yong asked so many things one after another. How can he not be suspicious. I also faintly feel that there is something wrong with it.
in fact. More than Jianyong can see it. Chen Gui, Chen Deng, and Sun Gan could all see it. It's just that they usually have a deep friendship with Mi Zhu. Zhang Liao got a lot of benefits. Even if you can see it, it is not convenient to tell Tao Qian. People go up high. The water flows down. They have long heard that the Jingxiang area is prosperous and prosperous, and the society is stable. Xuzhou is facing several pressures from Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Liu Yao. Is in a precarious state. What's wrong with Mi's move to Jingzhou? Naturally they will not be troublesome.
Tao Qian is old after all. If it is young. It's been a matter of fact. Although it feels wrong now. But he refused to accept it. Said: "Mr. Jian does not need to panic. Zizhong has always been loyal to Tao. How could he abandon Tao."
Jian Yong's mind turned a few thoughts quickly. This is a good opportunity for Liu Bei to take power in Xuzhou. If it works properly. Although he can't take the position of Xuzhou Mu. But it's better than living in Xiaopei's life. Thought of this. Jian Yong said, "If the lord doesn't believe me. Just send someone to Mi Mansion to find out. If Master Mi's wife, concubine and children are in the mansion, then Master Mi is going to see her off; if it is his wife, concubine and children, they don't know where to go. Master Ze Mi will inevitably flee."
Xuzhou City is not big. The news came back soon. Mi Mansion is already empty. Even the servants who stayed in the house yesterday were missing. The mansion is a mess.
Tao Qian is not a native of Xuzhou. From his appointment as the governor of Xuzhou. They were not welcomed by the local gentry in Xuzhou. Only a few local gentry such as Mi Zhu and Chen Deng were willing to stand by him. Among these local gentry. Regardless of fame, strength, or wealth. All should be the first to push Mi home. And Mi Zhu has always spared no effort to support Tao Qian. now. Suddenly I heard that Mi Zhu was going to abandon him. Tao Qian seemed to be taken away from the backbone. Can't speak for a while.
How could Jian Yong miss such an opportunity. He quickly folded his hands and said: "Go back to the lord. Although Mi Zhu has been away for a while. But he has many servants with him. He also brought a lot of belongings. The speed must not be fast. As long as one Qingqi is short, he can catch up. It shouldn't be too late. I also ask the lord to make a decision early."
Tao Qian hesitated. He sighed and said: "Forget it. He has Jingzhou army guards. I heard that Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are all improperly brave. Who is their opponent in Xuzhou City. Let him go."
Jian Yong leaned forward and said, "Don’t worry about the lord. Master Liu’s second brother, General Guan. The martial arts is high. But the enemy is Zhang and the second general. The subordinates will rush back to Xiaopei. Please send troops quickly. Both sides will be available. Chase Mi Zhu back."
Sure enough, as Jian Yong expected. There are many old and weak women and children in Mi Zhu's group. I drove a lot of big cars. The speed of travel is very slow. After walking for two days, he has not left the territory of Xuzhou. Between the lines. Suddenly, the smoke rose from behind. A humiliation horse flew like a flying horse. Mi Zhu's family members and servants have never seen such a battle. Suddenly it became messy. Gao Shun led five thousand elite soldiers in charge of breaking the queen. See this situation. A wave of the spear in his hand. The armed forces immediately stopped. Quickly set up the battlefield. Blocked the way of that army horse.
The big horses that got up from behind were all cavalry. There are about five thousand people. Take the lead in hand with the iron spear. Out of the crowd. Loudly shouted: "Dare to ask Master Mi where is. The final will be ordered by the lord general. I invite Master Mi to return to Xuzhou as soon as possible. There is something to discuss."
Although Gao Shun didn't spend much time in Xuzhou. However, Zhang Liao led one by one to worship the civil and military officials in Xuzhou. I recognized this person as Cao Bao, a general under Tao Qian. Tao Qian's employment is too poor and loves the rich. The Cao family is an aristocratic family in Xuzhou. Almost as famous as the Mi family. Cao Bao has therefore become Tao Qian's first combatant. In fact, he doesn't have much talent in the military. but. Because Cao Bao is one of Tao Qian's confidants. Naturally, he became one of the officials that Zhang Liao loved to make friends with. So after Gao Shun arrived in Xuzhou. The first one to visit was Mi Zhu. The second one is Cao Bao. So recognize him.
Seeing the other side menacingly. Gao Shun has no fear. Although the opponent is a cavalry. He is an infantryman. But these infantrymen were carefully selected by him from the Fourth Army. After rigorous training. He has his own set of tactics against cavalry.
It's just that the two sides have not yet torn their faces. Gao Shun is also not the first to do it. So let go of the horse slowly to the front. He immediately bowed his hands and bowed his hands. Said: "It turned out to be General Cao. Master Mi has already escorted Miss to the front. I don't know what's important about Master Tao's summoning. As Gao can see. Let's wait until Miss Mi and General Zhang get married."
Zhang Liao has been in Xuzhou for many years. Cao Bao also knew his fame. The one who came across was Gao Shun. Not Zhang Liao. Could not help but let go. Shen Sheng said: "Cao only knows to act on the orders of my paternal master. I don't ask about the rest. General Gao is embarrassing Cao."
"Hahahaha..." Gao Shun laughed loudly. Suddenly his face sank. Said. "After Gao was dismissed by General Zhang's order. You have to go. And ask Gao if he agrees with the gun in his hand."
Cao Bao was furious. A reminder of the war horse. Come to fight Gaoshun with a gun. Gao Shun raised his gun to greet him. The two horses intersect. The two fight in one place. The fight lasted about ten rounds. How Cao Bao is Gao Shun's opponent. Gradually, the marksmanship was scattered and weak. Pull the horse and leave.
Gao Shun didn't catch up either. He said loudly, "Cao Bao. Go back and tell Tao Qian. It is said that Master Mi has already transferred to my Patriarch. Master Mi's house and fields in Xuzhou still hope that he can take care of him. If there is a mistake, my Patriarch will come to him to speak."
Cao Bao deceived Gao Shun as pawns. He retreated to the front. Reined in the war horse. He pointed the iron gun in his hand. Loudly shouted: "Brothers. rush over. Capture Gaoshun alive and reward one hundred taels."
The five thousand Qingqi shouted. Let's urge the horses together. Rush towards the Gaoshun formation. The Xuzhou cavalry was not equipped with stirrups. The main means of combat is riding and shooting. Rushing is not what they are good at. Plus the two sides are not far apart. The speed of the war horse hasn't risen completely yet. Already in front of the opposing team.
Gao Shun snorted coldly. The spear pointed towards the other side. Many black clay pots were suddenly thrown out of the infantry formation. Those clay pots fell on the ground. Immediately fell to pieces. Many studs came out. These cavalry suddenly turned on their backs. but. After all, the two sides are too close. There are still many cavalry rushing to the front. but. They hadn't waited for them to wave the steel knives in their hands. The horses screamed and fell to the ground. The knight on the horse was instantly pierced by four or five spears.
original. Behind the shield of Gaoshun's army. Many long knives, big axes and pewter guns were stretched out. The long sword and the big axe are used to split horses. The pewter spear stabs knights. And these light riders did not get up due to their speed. The impact is very limited. The soldiers who supported the shield were under such impact. It was just a sway of his body. There was no scene of broken bones and blood spurting wildly.
Cao Bao's personal martial arts has a little bit more. But the fact of commanding operations is too far away. It was a waste of these cavalry in his hands. In a blink of an eye. Cao Bao's cavalry had fallen more than two thousand men. Cao Bao was shocked when he saw this. Hurry up and order Mingjin. These Xuzhou Qingqi came quickly. Retreat faster. Hear the gong. Lost backwards like a tide.
But how could Gao Shun let them retreat calmly. The crossbows that weren't fired because they were too close just now happen to come in handy. Liu Xin has always paid attention to the cooperation of various arms. As long as it reaches a strength of more than 5,000 people. Generally, they will be equipped with crossbowmen, spearmen, shieldmen and swordsmen at the same time.
These crossbowmen are well trained. One got Gao Shun's order. The crossbow in his hand rained down in the direction where the Xuzhou cavalry retreated. The crossbowmen used all projectiles. And hit the amount in advance. These Xuzhou cavalry had just retreated halfway. Arrows also fell from the sky. In an instant, a large piece fell again.
Cao Bao watched his hand lose ten times. But Gao Shun's men were almost unscathed. Qingzhi is not his opponent. He bitterly raised the iron spear in his hand towards Gao Shun. Leading more than a thousand remnants to escape towards Xuzhou.
Gao Shun didn't pursue it. He hadn't planned to fight Cao Bao in the first place. Just protect Mi Zhu's family and move safely to Jingzhou. The task is complete. Moreover. All he leads are infantry. It is impossible for two legs to run over four legs. Why do such useless work
The Mi Zhu family is very slow. It didn't take long for Gao Shun to catch up. I was about to tell Zhang Liao and Mi Zhu what happened just now. Seeing soldiers from the back team ran forward. Said loudly: "Enlighten the two generals. Another chaser is coming."
