Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 139 Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart
"Does Kong Ming know where this place is?"

Zhong Ping just pretended not to notice something wrong with the surrounding environment, so he changed the subject and asked Zhuge Liang who knew Xuzhou's geography better.

Zhuge Liang lowered his head and thought about it carefully.

When he got into the carriage with his two senior brothers in the morning, he saw that the carriage was heading southwest without changing direction on the road. When Zhong Ping was discussing the "Book of Shang Jun" with Zheng Xuan, Zhuge Liang was sitting in the corner doing his homework.

He felt the shaking of the carriage, and although he was thinking, he was still able to separate his mind and listen to Zheng Xuan's teaching to Zhong Ping. Using this time, he completed the homework of poetry and prose.

Therefore, traveling from Yishui to the southwest, about two hours, should be...

"Ruoliang's guess is right, I am waiting in front of Mo'er Valley at this time."

After thinking for a while, Zhuge Liang said slowly.

"Mo'er Valley?"

When Zhong Ping heard the word "Gu", the radar was beeping frantically, and he hurriedly asked, "Do you have a map?"

"Is the Shaofu worried that there will be bandits ambushing in the valley?"

Seeing the color change of the plane, Zhuge Liang guessed something in his heart, and he smiled slightly.

"The local people call this place 'Mo'er Valley', probably because there are apes climbing in it. Every night, there is often the sound of 'Mo'er' in the forest. If someone goes to look in it, they are often attacked by a group of apes in the valley. The terrain is slightly lower than the surrounding area, so it is called 'Moer Valley'."

"Liang also heard that the word 'Mo'er' actually means 'no'er'. The villagers threatened the children with the story of ape spirits and monsters, and forbade children to play in the valley. Word of mouth spread the absurd rumor that apes eat babies."

Since the apes gather in the valley, it seems that it is indeed difficult to set up an ambush.

Zhong Ping felt relieved a little, and then sighed: "Kong Ming is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and Ping is not as good as him."

Zhuge Liang accepted Zhong Ping's praise very frankly. Zhong Ping could see that the current young prime minister grew up in an atmosphere of praise and affirmation, and he would not feel awkward because of other people's praise.

Instead, he will salute and thank you generously, and seriously express the humble idea that "I still need to continue learning", without being complacent.

Zhuge Xuan is indeed very good at educating children.

Zhong Ping thought of Cao Ang whom he had "taught"... He could only lead people astray.

If I have time, I really want to learn from Zhuge Xuan and ask him to write a Zhuge family letter or something.

Zhongping's thoughts wandered, and he murmured to himself: "...there are often tall apes shouting loudly, making strange noises, sounds from the empty valley, mourning for a long time... What kind of ape can make a sound similar to 'Mo'er'? "

"Kong Ming, have you ever actually heard the chirping of an ape?"

Zhongping thought of a possibility.

"Never."

Zhuge Liang answered truthfully, he lived in Langya since he was a child, how could he have seen apes in the valley?I just read some descriptions in the scrolls.

Zhong Ping's expression sank, and he asked straightforwardly: "Is there no village in Guzhou, but there are small roads leading to distant villages and counties? county seat?"

Zhuge Liang understood what Zhong Ping meant, and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Could it be that...the 'apes' in the valley...are all humans?!"

Kind of calm and silent.

There is no need to guess any more, the answer can't wait to jump in front of the two of them.

"Young mansion!"

Tai Shici lifted the curtain of the carriage, and the soldiers brought by Xudu intertwined with the followers of Zhuge's family, forming an unbreakable circle, protecting Zhongping and Zheng Xuan's carriages and horses in the middle.

Zhong Pingyuan only asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice at first, not wanting to attract Zheng Xuan's attention, worried that he would be surprised, but now it is difficult to hide it.

He immediately jumped out of the carriage and asked Xu Shao: "Please trouble Mr. Zijiang to take Mr. Kang Cheng to the east. I remember that Ziyi once went to the east to fetch water. Mr. Zijiang only needs to send Mr. Kang Cheng across the river."

"Isn't the Shaofu worried that Shao will not be able to control the horses in a panic?"

Xu Shao was surprised by Zhongping's trust in him, he thought that this matter would be handed over to his soldiers.

Zhong Ping glanced at Xu Shaohu's mouth.

"If Mr. Zijiang wants to fight side by side with Ping, Ping will not refuse."

Xu Shao noticed Zhong Ping's gaze. As a fortune teller, he is sensitive to facial features, torso, standing and walking posture, which is understandable, but Zhong Ping can notice his palms that are basically kept in his sleeves at a glance. Xu Shao was a little surprised.

"Army battles are not directed by Shao, Shaofu should take care."

Now that Zhong Ping saw that his equestrian skills and martial arts were good, Xu Shao no longer concealed it. He saluted Zhong Ping, took Tai Shici's place, and escorted Zheng Xuan to the east.

To be fair, have you watched so many episodes of Conan Bai?When we met for the first time, you got off the boat so steadily, it's strange that you don't see that you have skills, okay?
After Zheng Xuan's carts and horses transported his manuscripts and books, the arrangements were relatively simple and would not attract anyone's attention.

It would be much easier for Zhong Ping to ask Xu Shao to take Zheng Xuan away.

"Ziyi, can you identify the identities of those ambush soldiers?"

Zhongping doesn't talk about bandits at this time, who's bandit wears leather armor?
Tai Shici picked off the oncoming arrows, half of his body blocked Zhongping.

"I'm not sure. If it's a soldier, it shouldn't be such a messy shooting method. It's like when I was in Beihai in the past, those rogues slaughtered travelers and looted goods. They can be seen in their clothes, but they are soldiers with attributes. It's weird."

Zhong Ping frowned.

This description, I am afraid that it is not the Qingzhou Army that Boss Cao has recruited?

Then where did the original people in Moer Valley go?

Zhong Ping knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it. There were only about 1000 people around him, and the enemy was in the dark. Confronting him head-on was a bad idea. He had to think of a way...

Since Suigu surrendered to Cao Cao, he is now a captain, which is naturally different from Xiaoqu Shuai who was the yellow scarf.

After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, he felt that his status had also risen. When he looked at those Qingzhou soldiers, he always had a somewhat superior attitude.

A person who knows current affairs is a hero. Isn't he the one who is the first to know current affairs?

Suigu thought of what the little yellow scarf under Ergen who didn't know his name told him about the Overlord of Chu, the Emperor Gaozu of Han, who entered Guanzhong first and became king first... Everyone pays attention to a time sequence, doesn't they?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, he felt that he had the capital to be the leader.

If that caste demoted me, wouldn't he have to learn archery from me in a good manner?

Sui Gu knows that his reliance is on these "brothers" of his own, but it is different when he votes for the imperial court. Without the nourishment of murder, robbery and those little ladies, how can he talk to his "brothers" and get more What about the "brother"?

Sui Gu began to feel uncomfortable, he was tired of that Le surnamed swaying in front of him every day, and wanted to divide the troops and consolidate the military discipline?
This is the brother I brought, so why do you benefit from empty talk?
After all, being a surrender is not as enjoyable as being a bandit.

Sui Gu pondered like this when there was no one around, he thought Cao Cao was too dishonest, could it be that he was going to kill the donkey as soon as he finished his work?

If I want my soldiers to be obedient, who do they listen to?Without these brothers, am I just the dough on the chopping board, ready to be kneaded by you?

Suigu felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and he decided to win the hearts of his "brothers". Only when he still controls the soldiers who surrendered with him, can he be valued, continue to occupy this "first" position, and enjoy the privilege of being superior to others. Feel.

So one day when he received news that his soldiers were bullying the old woman, he chose to cover it up and ignore it.

What is this compared to what they have done before?
Suigu was thanked by the soldier, and he heard the soldier say what he thought in his heart: "If I knew that the surname was lowered to Cao, if I want to live like this, it is better to continue to flee."

It turned out that his brothers had the same idea as him.

Suigu found a good way to make "brothers unite as one", but unfortunately... he found that not only he knows this way, but also Cao Cao, and even Cao Cao can promise more things to his subordinates.

Finally, Sui Gu could no longer sit still, the thrill of killing that Tu Yicheng got, and the boxes and boxes of satin baht money that he brought out... While he was satisfied with his pleasure, he felt flustered at the same time. He felt that his brothers were getting farther and farther away from him. .

This was unacceptable to him, he was afraid that one day he would wake up and be alone, with more guilt, like a stranger's overlord, whose head was decapitated by an owl, hung on a gun, and became someone else's meritorious service.

He knew he had done this many times before.

He has to be the "first", how can he let people step on him to make a ladder?

There are too many soldiers under Cao Cao, and it is impossible to guarantee that such a good job as massacring the city will happen to them every time.

At this time, Suigu's subordinates said that there was an old man named Zheng Xuan who wanted to flee from Xuzhou. They heard that he was a celebrity, and the Zhuge family who sent him out of Xuzhou. They must have brought a lot of wealth with them. Why don't we divide it? A piece of soup?

Suigu was tempted.

He looked at the greed floating in the eyes of his brothers, and knew that there would be no chance for him to be loved and supported like before...

"Marshal, this famous scholar in Laoshizi is really soft-hearted. Let's frighten him, and we don't even care about the pearls scattered on the ground, and just ran away like hell, hahaha!"

The soldier beside him picked up the coin on the ground, put it into his mouth, licked it, and then buried his face in the coin.

"It's been more than ten days since the last time I was talking about money. That Tao guy is really not a good ghost. He coaxed that Xiahou guy to be a striker several times."

"Hmph, he's just a traitor who betrayed Marshal Yu! Every day he follows that surnamed Le, muttering about something bad. Let's be Marshal Yu."

"Tsk, nonsense, our commander-in-chief treats us as brothers, can that be the same? Let me tell you, that Tao is relying on sending soldiers to please his surname Le!"

Sui Gu enjoys the flattery of his subordinates, and he knows that the "named Tao" mentioned by these people refers to Tao Sheng.

Tao Sheng was originally under Yu Du's command, and he surrendered to Cao Cao after Yu Du's death.

Sui Gu has always looked down on Tao Sheng. This man is just a small leader of the Yellow Turban. After training as a soldier, he became a captain earlier than him.

Soft bone, bah!
Whenever he met Tao Sheng on the road, Sui Gu would always say that in his heart to relieve his anger.

"Suffice it to you to have these goods alone?"

Sui Gu glanced disdainfully at the baht coins on the ground. The looting these days had also opened his eyes. He didn't know before that a county town could rob brothers' expenses for a year or two.

Gentlemen, celebrities.

To put it nicely, how is it different from those peasants at this time?Don't they all kneel down and beg for mercy, turn into rotten meat and be trampled into the mud?
But it's just a bunch of dirt.

"Leave some brothers to move these baht pearls, and the rest will continue to chase with me!"

Sui Gu randomly ordered dozens of people to stay behind. He never thought of letting Zheng Xuan and others leave from the very beginning.

First of all, he came out to hunt wild food behind Cao Cao's back, so the news must be dealt with naturally.

Both of these are also sequelae caused by their previous habits of being poor. When encountering wealth, they are like locusts crossing the border, not leaving an inch. Killing people is for the convenience of stripping clothes. When encountering a disaster year, it is also to choose a place with thick flesh...

From Sui Gu's point of view, Zheng Xuan is an old man, so he must not be able to escape quickly, so he only sent people to follow far behind, watching Zheng Xuan and the others fall into a predicament of panic, but they couldn't get up to speed.

After chasing for a while, Zheng Xuan and the others probably knew that they would not be able to escape with their treasures. Sui Gu saw a strong man's head appearing on the carriage, and cut off the carriage's ruts with great pain on his face.

"Stop first!"

Sui Gu greeted, but the soldiers around him saw that they could catch up with the carriage, and the money was touching, and they were very excited. How could they calm down? At this moment, the connection between the carriage and the horse broke, and the carriage collapsed with a "crash". The wheels rolled down "crackling" and "crackling".

Unexpectedly, most of those who rushed to the front were crushed by the heavy wood and wheels, and the sound of screams and bone cracks could be heard for a while.

Sui Gu yelled and cursed loudly, blood dripping from his heart, many brothers were injured this time, but the greater the loss, the better the harvest. Among the scattered wreckage of the carriage were exquisite jade and bronze wares. If you buy bronze wares, if the craftsmanship is good and the age is long, they are also worth a dendrobium of pearls.

This is really...

Sui Gu licked his lips, no wonder he was a celebrity, he was really rich.

Obviously, the brothers who followed him also knew the value of these things. For the wealth that was about to be obtained, the few people who died were nothing at all.

"Go, move these treasures back, and remember to wipe off the dirty things like meat mud and blood, so as not to affect the appearance."

It was rare for Sui Gu to remember an elegant word, so he hurriedly used it on this pile of bronze wares.

"Keep chasing!"

There was a greedy gleam in their eyes, and there were three wagons ahead.

Being chased to this point and still unwilling to give up... what kind of wealth is inside?
Sui Gu led the soldiers, followed the ruts and continued to search.

They were fascinated by money, and they didn't even realize that they were getting farther and farther away from the military stronghold, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around them...

Finally, there were only a thousand people around Sui Gu, and they walked all the way to the bank of the river, full of joy.

Baht coins, pearls, jade, copper, brocade, wooden boxes made of precious wood, gold and silver utensils...

The goods obtained from the slaughter of the city still need to be handed over, and these looted treasures are all their own.

Thinking of what kind of happy life they could live with this money, the soldiers behind Sui Gu could hardly hold back their laughter.

Suigu listened to the reverence in his ears, and the complacency in his heart reached the peak. He thought maliciously, so what if Cao Cao used the massacre to buy his brothers?
After all, everyone still has their hearts towards him!

"Commander, look, the last carriage fell into the river! It seems that the man surnamed Zheng escaped across the river."

"It's nothing, I'm sorry he won't be able to escape too far, let's go in first and see what's in the carriage, and he's willing to leave it now."

Sui Gu smiled, and ordered more than a dozen people to go into the water to check first. After chasing him all the way, he was already a little tired, so he casually straddled the stones by the river to rest.

Zhong Ping lay in ambush early in the forest by the river, only waiting for Sui Gu and others to go down the river, the chariots and horses fell in the middle of the river, if these people want to get property, they can only go around the chariots and horses to the widest part of the river.

The water there is turbulent and it is difficult to move. Zhong Ping can order archery to kill these people, and there is no need to send troops to fight.

It's a pity that things went against people's wishes, Sui Gu himself was able to hold back his desire for property, stopped on the bank, and only let the soldiers go down the river.

The opportunity must not be missed, and the loss will never come again. If you wait any longer, it will inevitably cause side effects.

Thinking of this, Zhong Ping didn't hesitate, turned around and said kindly to Tai Shi: "The good archers in the army led by Ziyi will shoot arrows at the center of the river. Please send hundreds of people to follow Ping to kill the enemy."

"Are a hundred people enough?"

Guoyuan was eager to try, and proposed: "I will abandon my chariot and horses and hide in the forest, all thanks to the Shaofu's timely decision. Now that we are fighting, we still need the protection of the Shaofu's troops. Sent by the Shaofu."

Zhong Ping hesitated for a while, he didn't want Guoyuan and others to fight with him, not to mention that they will all be promising people in the future, it would be a pity if they were put here, but only mentioning that these people are still students now, Zhong Ping I feel that the main priority should be to protect their safety.

only……

Zhong Ping was not sure whether it would be a better choice to leave Guoyuan and others in the forest. He couldn't tell whether Sui Gu had rockets in his hands, which were not conducive to their weapons.

In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to Guoyuan's proposal, but expanded the number of soldiers who were to be sent out to fight from 200 to 600.

"kill!"

Sui Gu suddenly heard the sound of shouting to kill, he was startled, and instantly woke up, seeing hundreds of people rushing out of the forest, how could he not know whether he had fallen for the opponent's trick?
He deliberately summoned the brothers who had been sent into the river to come back for help. When he looked back, all he could see were cold arrows, and he tied the soldiers who were only focused on moving goods into hedgehogs of all sizes.

The blood stained the river red, and the silk and satin floating in the water were shining golden.

Sui Gu's eyes were about to burst, he knew he had no way out.

"Oh shit!"

He thought of fighting to the death... He felt that at this moment he was very much like the Overlord of Chu in the story, with Wujiang behind him...

But who is Han Xin?

Sui Gu saw a familiar face in the shaking crowd...

How hateful!

He remembered that he still had superb archery skills, and he hadn't lost yet.

Overlord is just a story, he doesn't want to be overlord.

Sui Gu raised his bow, and he stretched out his hand to get the arrow from his back.

He found nothing.

At this time, he suddenly remembered that in order to be able to hold more pearls and jade and carry more goods, he and his brothers had already thrown away the quiver.

Kind of fair to say why did I come to the battlefield?Didn't I already make up my mind to only be a strategist...

He hadn't touched a sword for a while, and although his position was still flexible and coquettish, he could only protect himself.

But in the eyes of others, Zhong Ping, who calmly escaped the shadows of swords and swords, seemed so unique and easy to handle, he almost put the words "unusual status" on his head.

Therefore, Zhong Ping had successfully evaded all kinds of attacks, but the attacks he suffered increased instead of decreasing. Sui Gu and his men recognized Zhong Ping, and greeted him no matter what weapon moves.

Too much!

The corner of Zhong Ping's mouth twitched, persimmons are soft, right? !
I'm not the only one present here!
Zhong Ping was cursing, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a bloody gun moving towards Guoyuan's face.

The carriages and horses were used as a cover-up, except for Zheng Xuan who was sent away by Xu Shao, the rest naturally got off the horses, and Zhuge Liang followed the senior brothers in the order of riding the carriages.

Zhong Ping originally asked Tai Shici to take care of Zhuge Liang in the forest, but after he fought against Suigu, the ambush in the forest was revealed. Although Suigu only had a hundred men available, he still sent troops into the forest, intending to use Fazi to light the vegetation and force Zhong Ping Rescue the army in the forest so that he can take the opportunity to escape.

Tai Shici knew that Zhong Ping was worried that Sui Gu would set fire to the forest, so he was on alert, and Sui Gu's subordinates went into the forest, and Tai Shici found out.

The luxuriance of the trees and the concealment are strong, but at this time it has become a disadvantage. The soldiers under Sui Gu's command used trees and grass leaves to cover them, and Tai Shici had no choice but to do nothing for a while.

Among them, Zhuge Liang was young, and these people saw that Tai Shici intended to protect the young man, they thought that Zhuge Liang must be the grandson of Zheng Xuan or something, with a high status, if he could be captured, they would not be afraid of being defeated and would not retreat.

They took aim at Guoyuan on the side of the forest.

Zhong Ping saw that Guoyuan couldn't dodge the dagger, and he was so anxious that he wanted to grow wings. He didn't have a full-attribute experience card to use, and he couldn't add force. Even if he wanted to save people, he couldn't keep up. Ziyi!".

Tai Shici's ears moved, and the long knife in his hand threw out, hitting the back of one person's heart. At the same time, he drew the bow and set the arrow in one go, and the arrow seemed to carry a mighty force, almost piercing the dagger that was attacking Guoyuan.

"When clang".

The sound of the dagger falling to the ground was so clear in the chaotic battlefield, Zhong Ping heaved a sigh of relief, and supported the pale Guoyuan, Fang wanted to comfort him, but saw another person standing behind Zhuge Liang hiding his body under a tree, stretching out his hand as if to strangle him. His throat was even more startled.

"Kong Ming be careful!"

Zhong Ping was so horrified that he almost lost his mind, his hands were still shaking, and the warm blood had already splashed onto his face.

Only then did he realize that at the critical moment, he successfully pounced on Zhuge Liang and stabbed the dagger that Tai Shici shot down into the opponent's chest.

shit.

Zhong Ping let go, and the dagger fell to the ground again. He slowed down, stretched out his hand and patted Zhuge Liang's shoulder, and pushed Zhuge Liang who had stayed in place, motionless, to Tai Shici's side.

The battle is drawing to a close.

Sui Gu stared at the hem of Zhong Ping's clothes faintly revealed in the forest, feeling unwilling, but he could only try to escape across the water and make a final gamble.

"Fire arrows!"

Zhong Ping didn't know that Sui Gu had nowhere to go, he just didn't want to procrastinate any longer, and if he continued to fight, he might lose more on his side.

Tai Shici nodded and raised his right hand high.

The next moment, arrows rained down.

Suigu in the river is pierced by thousands of arrows.

He is not a bully.
