Chapter 89 Riding Battle in Dianchi Lake
Dianchi Lake.

Dianchi Lake is a pearl in the south of Caiyun. The water of the lake is crystal clear, like a mirror, reflecting the sky, mountains and green trees and red flowers on the shore.

On the Dianchi Plain on one side of Dianchi Lake, flowers and grass are luxuriant at this time. When the wind blows, the green grass forms rippling green ripples, pushing them into the distance.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, and everything is peaceful.

But now there is a very disharmonious scene on the Dianchi Plain. Under the blue sky and white clouds, two teams of knights are engaged in a chase.

Lou Qi, who was galloping on horseback, turned his head and looked at the Soyi knight chasing him behind him, with deep disdain on his face.

He had heard the legend of the horse in Dianchi Lake. It is said that there is a magical horse in Dianchi Lake. After mating with the Nanzhong horse, he gave birth to a horse that can travel five hundred miles a day. It is a good horse.

But from what he could see now, the horses that the knights behind him were sitting on were as short as horses and donkeys. This kind of thing could also be called the descendant of a divine horse.

As a subordinate of Lou Fa, a marksman, Lou Qi had excellent riding skills. He picked up his riding bow, pulled out an arrow from his quiver, turned around after drawing it full, and shot at the Soyi knight closest to him. go.

With a 'swish' sound, Lou, who only took a moment to aim, fired the arrow in his hand. He watched the white tail feathers slide into an elegant curve in the air.

Following a loud bang, the Soyi knights were chasing behind him. The one at the front was hit by an arrow in his eye. He fell from his pony with a wailing sound, and slightly blocked the pace of the knights behind him.

'snort. Seeing that the arrow did not miss, Lou Qi's face showed joy, and at the same time he snorted, expressing an increasingly contemptuous attitude towards the Soyi knight chasing behind him.

The Soyi knight behind him had a weak horse and his riding skills didn't look very good. He was swaying on the horse.

Furthermore, since this group of Soyi knights were chasing him, no one fired an arrow to attack him from behind. It was obvious that their riding and shooting skills were not good enough, so they could only lie on the horse.

Slowly, Lou Qi put another arrow on his riding bow, turned around as usual, and killed another Soyi knight without missing a beat.

After doing this again and again, the pace of the Soyi knight who was chasing him gradually slowed down. He did not dare to chase too close for fear of being shot by Lou Qi. The Soyi knight's speed gradually slowed down, and finally it was He stopped in place in fear.

After getting a moment of respite, Lou Qi rushed to the gate of Dianchi Lake on horseback and shouted to the tower: "I am Lou Qi, the commander of the army under Liu Shijun. Please open the door and see Mr. Gaofu. I have important military information to report."

Hearing this, Gao Yi on the city tower raised his hand to stop the arrows his soldiers were aiming at Lou Qi, and ordered his soldiers to open the city gate to welcome Ma Lou Qi, the military commander who claimed to be from Chengdu.

He just saw the scene where the Soyi knights chased Lou Qi, and then stopped the chase after Lou Qi shot five or six people. In addition, the Soyi knights were tired from attacking the city yesterday and were resting today. They did not leave the camp, so they only sent out the Soyi knights. The knight patrols all directions, so even if there is something wrong with the military commander Ma Lou Qi, he can take care of it.

Seeing the opening of the city gate, Lou Qi rode in, but what greeted him was not wine and delicacies, but arrows pointing at him with cold light.

Gao Yi cupped his hands and said to Lou Qi: "Lou Sima, I have offended you a lot." Then he ordered several warriors to come forward, surrounded Lou Qi, and groped for tokens on Lou Qi's body.

He did not completely trust Lou Qi. Now he was on the defensive side of the city. The wealth and lives of the people of the city were now tied to him as the prefect, so he would not let go of any loopholes.Not long after, Lou Qi's identity was confirmed. Gao Yi took Lou Qi to the county temple. He showed a trace of apology and bowed his hands to Lou Qi in greeting: "Lou Sima, the thief Yong Mian has recently used a very elaborate strategy to impersonate the messenger. , to prevent accidents, so I wronged Sima."

"Mr. Gaofu, it's nothing to do with some trivial matters. Today's season is no different than usual. It's a good thing to be cautious. It's better to kill the wrong person than to let it go." Lou Qikuan explained to Gao Yi that Gao Yi didn't treat him well the first time he entered the city. , but greeted Gao Yi with sharp arrows. He didn't take it to heart, but looked at Gao Yigao.

Then Lou Qi got down to business: "I was ordered to come here this time to inform Mr. Gaofu that the Chengdu army has already set off. Now the vanguard has arrived in Bodao County. The army will be gathered in a few days and they can go south."

"The Lord just needs to hold on to the city and wait for the army to come."

As a subordinate of Lou Fa, the pioneer of the Southern Expedition, Lou Qi was arranged to go to Dianchi County to report the news, telling Gao Yi, the governor of Yizhou County who was still holding on to the city, about the movements of the Chengdu army, so that he could strengthen his confidence in defending the city.

"Has the chaos in Bajun been settled?" Gao Yi's face, which had been tense for a while, relaxed a little now, with a look of surprise on his face.

He has not received any news recently. The messengers he sent out to deliver and investigate the news were all killed by the Soyi knights surrounding Dianchi County.

Therefore, he lost all sense of his ears and eyes. Except for Dianchi County at his feet and the place he could see from the top of the city tower, he knew nothing about it.

Now Lou Qi's arrival has informed him that Chengdu's army is about to move south, which makes him very excited.

But it also gave him a question. If the Chengdu army could go south, it meant that the massive Bajun rebellion must have been put down.

Lou Fa nodded affirmatively and said loudly: "The rebellion in Bajun instigated by Liu He in Jingzhou has been suppressed by Liu Shijun's troops."

The surprise on Gao Yi's face became even stronger. The last news he received from Chengdu simply stated that Chengdu's army needed to go to Bajun first to quell the chaos, and asked him to hold on to Dianchi County.

He originally thought that the veteran general Zhao Wei was leading the army to Nanzhong, but he did not expect that the person leading the army was actually the newly appointed Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang. This was inconsistent with the rumors he had always heard about Liu Zhang.

But now is not the time to dwell on this. He continued to ask about the information he wanted to know: "I don't know when the Chengdu army will be gathered and send troops south."

"It should be within these days." Lou Qi calculated the time. He followed Lou Fa, the pioneer, to Bodao County, and then went south to Dianchi County. Counting the time it took him from Bodao to Dianchi Lake, the army should be about the same Assembled.

"That's very good, that's very good." Gao Yi's face relaxed completely, and his originally dull eyes became brighter now.

During this period of time, he was really under a lot of pressure. Holding on to the isolated city without reinforcements was the most painful. A lot of gray hair grew on his head, the wrinkles on his brows became heavier and heavier, and his face looked four years older. Five years old.

He called the messengers and asked them to spread the exciting news. He thought that with this news, the people of Dianchi County would feel at ease and the city would be as stable as Mount Tai.
