Three Kingdoms: I rely on system loopholes to survive

Chapter 142 The Strange Qingzhou Soldiers

Zhong Ping still remembered that he came to Xuzhou, nominally to send Cao Cao the news that Lu Bu and Zhang Miao had attacked Yanzhou.

He actually regretted that he should not have fled to Yanzhou when he was being pursued by Li Jue.

Although this is a last resort... but if he had known that there would be today's predicament, even if it was Krypton's life, he would have to send Liu Xie to Luoyang. Luoyang is indeed dilapidated and an isolated city, but there is more room for maneuvering You can spare time to choose Mingzhu.

The princes of the world conquer each other to check and balance each other, and it is unlikely that they will immediately divide their troops to meet the emperor.

If you have time, why not do it?

But this is just an idealized assumption.

Once Liu Xie and Dong Cheng are paired up, no matter how much he thinks, it's useless.

If I really chose to enter Luoyang alone, now I should have liked to mention the skewers of the Nine Clans.

Zhong Ping sighed rather melancholy.

"Since Mr. Cao has arrived in Pengcheng, I can't wait any longer, for fear that something will happen to Yanzhou."

"Ziyi, may I ask you to escort Mr. Kang Cheng and his party into Yangzhou?"

There was some selfishness in Zhong Ping's words, he was not very willing for Tai Shici to be involved in Xuzhou's mess.

"Shaofu..."

It was difficult to see each other's faces in the dark night, Zhong Ping could only hear the hesitation in Tai Shici's tone.

...That's right, originally Tai Shici was supposed to be serving his mother in Donglai at this time, Chong Ping, Zhong Ping, you have dragged the potter into such an embarrassing situation, do you want to trouble Tai Shici again?
"It's because I didn't think about it, Ziyi doesn't have to worry about it."

Zhong Ping tried to lighten his tone, "By the way, do we have to blow the cold wind outside and talk in the dark?"

"If a certain person goes to Yangzhou, will there be anyone available around the Shaofu?"

Tai Shici's voice was very deep, he didn't know why, since the first time he met with Zhongping, he always felt that there was an elusive sense of alienation in this young man.

Obviously, these days, he got along well with Zhong Ping, but he still had a feeling that the other party seemed to be a bystander, or a passing visitor.

That is to say, he doesn't seem to be standing there, standing in front of him, but through something invisible...

Zhong Ping choked when he heard the words, but was speechless.

Except for Tai Shici, there really wasn't a single general around him that he could see.

Xu Shao seems to have good military power, but... that can't be used as a general.

As for the potter... I might as well count on Guoyuan.

"Yinping is not that far away from Pengcheng. I'm just passing on news. Ziyi has been away from home for a long time. I'm afraid my aunt will be worried."

To be fair, it's just to send a letter, the problem shouldn't be...not big.

"A man must do what he says, how can he give up halfway when he undertakes the responsibility of protecting the Shaofu?"

In fact, Tai Shici really wanted to persuade Zhong Ping to try to rely on others and not have to bear everything alone.

He has been with Zhiping these days, it seems that Zhongping is a person who has a lot of friends and has connections no matter where he is. However, if he really wants to tell the name of a close friend of the other party, he can't find a suitable person no matter what. .

Xi Zhicai may count, but it seems almost.

Tai Shici had never met Zhong Ping's relatives, he only knew that Zhong Ping was a disciple of Cai Yong, and his father was a servant.

However, according to rumors, as a young person, Zhong Ping often did what the elder should do...

Tai Shici looked at Zhong Ping with softer eyes. In his eyes, Zhong Ping seemed to be covered with words like "too much weight that should not be borne at such a young age".

Zhong Ping didn't know what strange things Tai Shici had added to his brain, he just felt that his back was starting to hurt again... Wait, why is it "again"?
"You don't have to worry about this big brother. I can help escort the Shaofu. Don't worry, no one knows how to cut corners better than me."

The potter timely relieved Zhongping.

"That's right, Zhong Ming is... a native of Xuzhou, and he is highly skilled in martial arts, so he is completely competent."

Zhong Ping bit the bullet and praised a few words.

He is really thinking about Tai Shici, instead of staying in Xuzhou, who will get into trouble at some point, or entering Xudu and being tied to the court, it is better to go back to Donglai, and still have a free identity .

One day, I can meet my own bright master, shine brilliantly, and go to the future I want, there is no need for the pearl to be dusty.

The matter of Guoyuan and Zhuge Liang had already shocked Zhongping a lot.

If you take one step too late yesterday, there will be no "National Artifact" and Prime Minister Zhuge in the world...

How fragile human life is.

Although Tai Shici still couldn't let go of his heart, but Zhong Ping said that he was determined to leave Xuzhou, but in desperation, he could only obey temporarily.

"...Young Mansion must regard your body as the most precious thing, and don't take any risks."

He cupped his fists to salute Zhongping, turned around and went to the tent.

Tai Shici knew that he had a flat temper, if he said he wanted to hurry, there would be no delay at all, and he was about to set off immediately.

Therefore, he has to go back and order Qi soldiers to cooperate with the parallel army.

"Ziyi!"

Zhong Ping called Tai Shici to stop.

"The soldiers have been traveling for a long time, and they were tired after another battle yesterday. To go to Pengcheng, Zhongming's soldiers are enough. I will write a warrant, and you can lead the troops yourself."

As he spoke, he dug into his sleeve, but there was half a roll of cloth in it, which was left when he asked Zheng Xuan for the "Book of Shang Jun".

It's too dark here, and there are not many cases.

Since Zhong Ping had the idea of ​​leaving alone, he had no intention of disturbing Zheng Xuan and his party and the soldiers who were resting. After thinking for a while, he took off the letter at his waist, printed the official seal representing his identity on the cloth, and handed it to Tai Shici.

He wasn't worried that Tai Shici would use the cloth for other things, he had great trust in Tai Shici... He was not blind, how could he not be able to discern Tai Shici's concern for him?
"Ziyi, I'm leaving, take care on the way. When the Xuzhou matter is settled, I'll go to Donglai to catch up with you. Don't be disgusted with Ziyi."

Zhong Ping raised his arm and waved it, but he felt that Tai Shici probably couldn't see his movements clearly.

"...By the way, if Fan A and Xu Shao ask about my whereabouts, don't reveal it!"

Zhong Ping was afraid that Tai Shici would not hear, so he repeated every word three times.

"Young mansion, shall we go?"

The potter asked hesitantly.

"If you don't leave, the sky will turn white."

Zhong Ping thought about it, although Tai Shici didn't respond, but with his hearing ability, it is unlikely that he didn't hear it, so he reluctantly let go of half of his heart, and said decisively: "Let's go now!"

He couldn't help but be thankful that he had the cheat of the system, otherwise, with the strength of his staying up late and running around, he would have died suddenly more than a dozen times.

Although the pottery merchant was lacking in heart and mind, he really did what he wanted to do.

It's not that Zhongping has never walked the road in Tanxian County, but he didn't realize that Yinping is so close to Pengcheng until he was led by a pottery merchant to cross several small rivers and turn over half a hill.

"Zhongming, are you okay?"

Zhong Ping observed the potter's pale face like paper, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"...I think it might not be very good."

The potter's spirit was like a gossamer, as if he was about to burp in the next second.

"Are you practicing Taoism? We haven't closed our eyes and rested our feet for three whole days. Even our iron bodies can't bear it!"

Zhong Ping touched his nose in embarrassment. In fact, he didn't need the potter to do much better. After all, the system didn't give him any cheats like "infinite energy". A little numb, but now I can't rest.

It's like staying up late at a certain point, people will be very tired, but after that stage, the whole person will immediately wake up, even a little too excited.

Zhongping's current state is when he is "energetic" with a rapid heartbeat.

If you really stop, you will just get tired.

"...Why don't Zhongming go to the city to rest first?"

Chong Ping saw that the pottery merchant was really hard to hold on to. He thought that since he had already arrived in Yinping, he would go to Pengcheng as soon as possible, which would only take a day or two, and he would not need to bother the pottery merchant to lead the way.

"That won't work."

Potter blinked hard, trying to keep his spirits up.

"It was agreed to send Shaofu to Pengcheng, so what's the matter now? The journey is not too far, just pass through the village in front... It seems to be called Shicun, and we will arrive at Fuyang."

"We don't know anything about Cao Yanzhou's current situation. I think we can go to the village to find out some news."

"After all, we have been walking on the small road, and we have never encountered human habitation, so we can't just do nothing."

The potter talked eloquently.

Zhong Ping knew that a large part of what he said was actually to make his mind clearer, but he had to say that what the potter said was reasonable.

They should really inquire in advance about Cao Cao's recent movements. The village is small and close to Pengcheng. If there is any news, they should be able to get a general idea.

"Then let's spend the night in the village."

Zhong Ping made up his mind, he planned to send someone to send a message to Cao Cao first, but how could anyone be faster than him?

It has been more than ten days since he met Hao Meng. It is impossible for Xun Yu not to notice Zhang Miao's strangeness. As Cao Cao's counselor, he should be the first to spread the news to Xuzhou.

Cao Cao is still in Xuzhou and is even preparing to attack Pengcheng, which can explain a lot of problems.

Xun Yu, who has Cao Cao's exact location, has not even heard of the urgent news of the fast horse he sent, and Zhong Ping is almost at the bottom of Pengcheng.

At this speed, even if Lu Bu was chasing after him on a red rabbit horse, it would be dangerous enough, and not all of them would be killed.

So Zhongping put away this idea.

The pottery merchant rolled his eyes and nodded gratefully: "I knew the young mansion would agree, not to mention me, even the soldiers under him are exhausted to the extreme, it would be great to have a rest."

"...I didn't think it through."

It was only then that Zhong Ping realized that most of the potter's men were Qingzhou soldiers, and they couldn't survive at all. He was used to leading elite soldiers, and he led the Qingzhou soldiers for three days without sleep...

Haven't these Qingzhou soldiers ever complained about the commotion?

Zhong Ping felt a little weird, no wonder he would ignore the soldiers' endurance, these soldiers were quite different from the Qingzhou soldiers he had come into contact with before.

Was it the pottery master who led the army, or did these Qingzhou soldiers happen to be trained by Le Jin, or were they not Qingzhou soldiers at all?

This level subconsciously ruled out the first possibility.
