Three Kingdoms: I don’t want to fall in love in troubled times

Chapter 195 Zimao, wait for me

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Sun Zi returned to inform Dong Bai and the envoy's guards, Xu Jiashu threw Jiao He's head to the shocked Wu Zhu.

Blood with dense bubbles continued to seep out from his neck, and there was still a trace of heat rising from it, painting Wu Zhu's white clothes with a frightening and sticky red.

"then."

He ordered coldly and walked towards the armor placed in the corner of the tent.

This is a black armor of high-ranking military officers. The governor Jiao He disliked it because it insulted the demeanor of a celebrity, so he rarely wore it. Anyway, he always ran away, let alone went into battle wearing armor, so he had no use for this thing.

It's just that Xu Jiashu is tall and cannot be put on directly. He also needs to untie the knot at the connection and adjust the belt around his waist, which usually requires the help of an adjutant or attendant.

Without him opening his mouth, Lu Lingqi was already standing behind him.

"Come here too." Miss Lu followed suit and threw the temporarily removed armor plate towards the witch Zhu. "Hold this and don't move it."

Wu Zhu was already numb. He lowered his head to look at the governor who was still holding his gaze in his arms, and then looked up at the curtain of Yanjun's tent.

Haotian God, why did I walk in in the first place?

What a crime

Fortunately, Lu Lingqi's skills were very skillful, and it didn't take long for Xu Jiashu to finish dressing. Wu Zhu took the opportunity to look up at the imperial envoy who was violently murderous at the slightest disagreement, with a look of flattery on his face.

I am forced to make ends meet, so the angels will treat me like a fart - that's probably what I mean.

Xu Jiashu's body was tightly wrapped in black iron armor, and a Han sword around his waist was fixed with a silk belt. The cold eyes under his shoulder swept over the shocked poor Wu Zhu, and said without any sympathy: "Take your people with you." Come up."

Everything that happened in the Chinese army's tent is still unknown to the outside world. During the period before Liu Bei completed the assembly, he had to do everything he could to stop the defeated troops and the Yellow Turbans' vanguard. Although Jiao He's head was effective, it was not conspicuous enough. .

Calling these witches and blessings is a waste utilization.

When he walked out of the Chinese army's tent, Xu Jiashu was followed by more than a dozen wizards in white, holding a long spear in their hands.

Although he doesn't use this thing much, fighting on the battlefield does not require too complicated methods. With the blessing of combat experience and [Wushuang], it is enough to deal with enemies of the Yellow Turban level.

Dong Bai led the guards and met this turbulent team outside the tent. He recognized at a glance that the leading black armor warrior was Xu Zimao, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

What, he looks much better when he is fully armed than when he was dressed as a Qiang man.

She came closer, looking unconsciously at the tassels on the saddle that were swaying in the wind, which was the only bright color in the dark world, and asked in a low voice: "Xu Zimao, what are we going to do?"

The captain of the guard behind him was silent. He really didn't believe that the fierce armored warrior in front of him was the pretty lieutenant who deceived his young lady with smooth words - just like seeing Kun Kun suddenly turn into Jet Li, no one would be able to adapt to it.

"Meet the enemy"

The situation was so urgent that Xu Jiashu had no time to explain what had just happened, so he asked to borrow Dong Bai's bodyguard. These elite soldiers from the frontier army are excellent at horse, foot and foot combat, and are enough to support the skeleton of the blocking defense line.

"I want to lend you one of your men, otherwise the whole camp will be in danger of being destroyed."

"it is good!"

Before he could finish speaking, Dong Bai immediately turned around and ordered to the guards: "Everyone, please wait for the deputy envoy's orders."

Hearing this, the men in Xiliang looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what to do - they were all elites carefully selected by Li Ru, and they had nothing to say in terms of business ability or loyalty and reliability, so naturally they would not disobey orders. .

But what they are worried about is, if they all follow the deputy envoy and leave, who will protect the young lady's safety?

The guard captain was about to step forward to dissuade him when he saw Dong Bai gently urging his horse, walked up to Xu Jiashu and said, "Of all the people I mentioned, including me, is there anyone who refuses to obey the deputy envoy?"

After hearing this, the guards no longer hesitated and lined up in just a few dozen breaths.

In this way, Xu Jiashu had an elite hundred-man team with background from the frontier army. Compared with them, the Yellow Turbans and other half-way monks were a veritable rabble.

Xu Jiashu felt hot all over, even to the point of dry mouth, but his mind was unusually clear, and he kept giving instructions to the team leaders of each team.

"Pile the grain trucks in the narrow place in front of the camp to form a formation."

This kind of encounter took place in a flat area with no danger. The best way in a hurry was to use cars to form temporary fortifications. Li Ling used this method in the field battle with the main force of the Huns in the Han-Hungarian War. It is not considered What a new thing.

"If there are scattered broken troops, control them on the spot and never allow them to enter the camp."

The defeated troops had just suffered a disastrous defeat and had escaped on foot. Not only did they not have half of their combat power, it would also have a very bad impact on the morale of others.

If someone shouts something like "Our army is defeated" again, it will be great fun.

Well, be wary of defeatist plotters.

In this way, every time a general order is issued, a squad leader will take his own people and leave to perform the task under the guidance of Wu Zhu - these Wu Zhu have been in the army for a long time and are familiar with the terrain and layout. Jiao and Sihun naturally represent his authority.

Xu Jiashu's brain was still running wildly, thinking about what else had not been arranged, but his thoughts were interrupted by a crisp voice.

"Your face looks very red." Dong Bai turned sideways, tried his best to reach out and touched his forehead, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, it's so hot!"

Will Xu Zimao be sick?

Xu Jiashu looked down at the concerned face and finally realized what he had missed and not arranged.

Dong Bai.

It can be seen from the previous quarrel with Lu Lingqi that she has grown a lot compared to the last time they met. It's just that she is here, so she doesn't like to be in the limelight. But no matter how smart she is, she is just a little girl.

It stands to reason that she should be placed in a safe rear position, but firstly, she is needed to be in charge so that the escorts of the mission will obey the orders. Secondly, the interception may not be successful. Now that they are scattered, it will be difficult to escape when the time comes.

Not easy to handle

"."

When Dong Bai saw Xu Zimao looking at him thoughtfully, he couldn't help but tilted his head and asked, "Why does the deputy keep looking at me?"

It's embarrassing to be stared at in public

Xu Jiashu didn't explain. He stretched out his hand, picked up Dong Bai with one hand, and put him behind him. The two of them rode on the same horse - this way they could keep him by his side for protection, and he didn't have to worry about the Xiliang guards not being able to do their job.

The only thing they have to worry about is that there are no eyes for swords and arrows on the battlefield. However, the Yellow Turbans only discovered the traces of the army by accident. There are no infantry archers among the pursuers, so it is the safest to stay by their side. I just felt the soft touches coming from my back, but I could no longer put on that cold and murderous expression.

Xu Jiashu pretended to cough twice and turned around, showing no intention of letting her go.

"Hold tighter," the deputy envoy emphasized, "don't let go."

Not to mention that we haven’t reached the age where men and women cannot be intimate with each other. Even if it has come, now is not the time to pay attention to those things. There is a war!

"Oh," Dong Bai responded with a vague understanding, and his snow-white wrists wrapped around his waist and held him tightly.

The touch became clearer and clearer, so much so that Xu Jiashu's mood, which had finally calmed down, became agitated again.

not good.

Xu Jiashu secretly thought that something was wrong. If he continued like this, if [Wushuang] couldn't be activated later, there would be one general missing out of thin air.

siu——

There was a sudden explosion in his ears, which frightened Dong Bai all over. He pressed his head against Xu Jiashu's back, not daring to go out to see what was going on. Xu Jiashu recognized the sound in an instant.

It's Lu Lingqi's usual Mingdy.

The arrow crossed the sky and hit a Yellow Turban cavalryman who was galloping on horseback at a place as far as the limit of vision, intending to outflank the retreat of the defeated army. Xu Jiashu could not see clearly where it hit, but he could only see the man standing straight from his horse. He fell down, leaving only the horse under his crotch still running forward blindly.

"What a pity." Looking back, Miss Lu's auspicious eyes were slightly narrowed, and her eyes fell on the hands around Xu Jiashu's waist. She sighed pointedly: "I was aiming at the waist, but I didn't I thought I used too much force and shot myself in the head."

It's not that she didn't realize that this little girl was the real leader of the guards, she just used this to express her dissatisfaction a little bit - even though this was already very scary.

Scared scared

Xu Jiashu quickly calmed down and suppressed the ripples in Dong Bai's heart. Although there was still some distance, the appearance of the cavalry just now undoubtedly showed that the enemy was not far away. Now was not the time to let his imagination run wild.

Soldiers are important matters of the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. We must pay attention to them!

Ignoring the cold wind blowing like a knife, Liu Bei whipped the horse under him and galloped away in the direction from which he came.

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court abolished the system of selecting knights and officials within the county, and simultaneously abolished the captains who trained them. In fact, it effectively disbanded the field armed forces of the county with professional soldiers as the backbone, which was a way to weaken the local power. policy.

The abolition of the county-state military system also made local states and counties extremely weak in resisting large-scale wars like the Yellow Turbans. They had no choice but to recruit soldiers on their own. For example, Liu Bei himself directly used the backbone of Zhuojun.

The soldiers recruited and trained by these states and counties themselves constituted the main force of Qingzhou's official army. Under Jiao He's completely laissez-faire management, they only obeyed the orders of the chiefs of their respective states and counties. As one of the governors of the state and county, Liu Bei's troops happened to be stationed with them.

After receiving the order to leave, the strong man with a red face and long beard moved his hands slowly, but it did not prevent him from asking: "Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

They were just ordered to run away. They had become numb after experiencing it for a year, so much so that Guan Yu didn't even bother to taunt him anymore. He was just curious about why his eldest brother was so concerned about the useless governor's orders this time.

"Not to mention this," Zhang Fei was curious about another thing, "What is that long bamboo stick in my brother's hand? I have never seen it before."

The word "whisk" first appeared many years later in the Jin Dynasty, so he couldn't find a suitable word to describe the talisman held by Liu Bei. He just thought it had yellow hair tied on it, which looked quite unique.

At this time, Liu Bei was not in the mood to chat with his two younger brothers, so he turned around and went to inform the Donglai County troops stationed nearby.

"."

Guan and Zhang looked at each other.

"The bamboo stick in the elder brother's hand..." Guan Yu swallowed, "If I read it correctly, it seems to be the talisman of this dynasty."

The reason why he is not sure is because he mostly reads the famous "Spring and Autumn", in which most of the bronze military talismans are often divided into two. Only if they can match them perfectly can he have complete power, even if he has a The other half is also difficult to copy.

However, the talisman held by the envoys of the Han Dynasty has a different origin. The above system was originally red. It was only because Liu Ju, the violent prince of the previous dynasty, "sent troops with a red festival" when he rebelled, so it was later changed to yellow.

The two of them were just county lieutenants under the command of Gaotang at this time. They had never seen such high-end goods before. Even Guan Yu, who was more educated, had not thought of the talisman just now.

Soon, the two of them led their troops out of the camp to gather, but when they saw the school grounds crowded with people and the Qingzhou officers and soldiers coming out in full force, they became somewhat convinced that what their eldest brother was holding was really the talisman representing the majesty of the emperor.

With that conspicuous Huang Yan, Gaotang ordered Liu Xuande's eight hundred troops to return to their posts smoothly.

"Brother, the second brother said that the bamboo stick in your hand is the emperor's talisman." Zhang Fei asked excitedly: "Is it okay to kill Jiao and that rat with this?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei glanced at his third brother with a strange look - is this the legendary great wisdom and foolishness?

"I don't know why the troops were summoned," but the second brother asked about the business, "Could it be that Jiao and that guy avoided fighting, and finally made the emperor unhappy and issued an edict to urge them?"

However, the emperor was far away in Chang'an, so how could he care about Qingzhou's affairs?

Moreover, even if an edict was issued to supervise the war, it would not be the turn of a Gaotang Ling like his eldest brother to issue an edict.

"Kill the Yellow Turbans and I'll tell you later." Liu Bei waved the talisman on his hand. In an instant, everyone's eyes were attracted to this ugly "bamboo stick", "By the order of the angel, the Qingzhou Army assembles!"

"promise!"

The generals responded loudly.

After suffering under the hands of useless Jiaohe for a whole year, most of them had never even seen the Yellow Turbans a few times. These soldiers recruited from various places could only watch their hometowns fall step by step. After hearing about this rally It was the "angel" who gave the order, but morale increased by three points out of thin air.

Although Guan and Zhang were confused, there were thousands of troops and horses gathering behind them. They had never seen such a scene before. They just felt that there was no place in the world they couldn't go, and they felt heroic in their chests - as a true man should be!

Liu Bei held up the talisman in his hand so that everyone could see the way forward.

This is the taste of power. At this moment, he is finally no longer a humble county magistrate. All the warriors in Qingzhou have gathered under his command and followed his footsteps to the battlefield.

In this way, he has lived up to the trust of Fu Jie after all.

Until now, Liu Bei's anxious heart still cannot calm down - the Chinese Army must be full of dangers now. It's hard to imagine how much pressure Zimao and the others are under!

He moved the crowd forward.

There was no shortage of veteran generals in the Qingzhou army. Liu Bei was only responsible for delivering messages, but he could never command them to move them. However, he had no intention of doing anything else. He led the Eight Hundred Troops and rushed to the river without stopping. battlefield.

Zimao, wait for me!
