Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Seeing Cheng Qiu's question, Geng Yu didn't dare to be negligent, and clasped his fists and said, "My lord, no matter how brave the Xiliang army is, there are only more than 500 people. After today's battle, there are only [-] left. Their purpose is very simple, which is to return to Jincheng County, the most important thing at present is to find a way to prevent Jia Rong from returning to Jincheng, and the adults only need to lead the soldiers to follow closely."

Cheng Qiu said angrily: "The magistrate Geng's words are reasonable, but Jia Rong is full of cavalry, how can we catch up, you didn't see that the soldiers under your command are already exhausted, how to pursue them."

"Don't worry about this, my lord. As long as Jia Rong flees in the direction of Jincheng, it will only be a matter of time before we catch up with him." Geng Yu said neither humble nor overbearing. To Cheng Qiu, Geng Yu didn't have the same fear as the county captains of two foreign countries and two counties. The Geng family is well-known throughout Liangzhou, and Geng Bi is even more honored as the shepherd of Liangzhou.

Cheng Qiu frowned, stretched it out for a long time, and said with a big smile, "Okay, I am the most at ease when Geng County Magistrate handles affairs, so I will go at full speed in the opinion of Geng County Magistrate, and chase Jia Rong. Tell the truth."

Geng Yu didn't seem to understand the other meaning of Cheng Qiu's words, and said indifferently: "Thank you for your praise, my lord, I'm going to gather soldiers to chase Jia Rong."

Looking at Geng Yu who was leaving, a stern look flashed in Cheng Qiu's eyes, and then he regained his clarity. If Geng Yu made a mistake, Cheng Qiu would also be in big trouble. The most important thing right now is to chase Jia Rong. Of course, Cheng Qiu understands the importance of the position in Zhizhong, and Geng Yu must have something to rely on if he can say that.

"Magistrate Geng, there is a shortage of cavalry in the army. Please also ask magistrate Geng to send out the cavalry under his command to inquire about the news and keep track of the direction of Jia Rong and others."

Geng Yu bowed his hand and agreed without the slightest hesitation, which surprised Cheng Qiu, and looked at Geng Yu with a hint of respect.

"Geng Yu is proud of himself, but he has a big picture and is shrewd in doing things. He is a talent." Cheng Qiu thought to himself.

"General, the army led by Cheng Qiu is only ten miles away from our army." The scout hurried to report.

Glancing at the bloodstains on the scouts, Jia Rong asked concerned, "What? Have you met an enemy?"

The scout knelt down on one knee and said, "I met Cheng Qiujun's scout and was dealt with by my subordinates."

Jia Rong nodded and said, "Be careful."

The body of the scout was obvious for a while, and he gritted his teeth: "Thank you, General, for your concern. The subordinates will definitely do their best. Cheng Qiujun's scouts are vulnerable." The general's concern is very useful to ordinary soldiers. In such a life-threatening act, a light and caring word from the general is enough to make them risk their lives.

"Order the soldiers to prepare and continue on their way." Jia Rong sat on the ground leisurely and said, without any sense of urgency when the war came, Jia Rong's relaxed attitude affected the soldiers under his command.

"No!" Jiang Yu hurriedly took the order and left.

Cheng Qiu's troops are full of infantry, and although they have been chasing after him for several days, they have never been able to catch up with Jia Rong and his party. However, Jia Rongjun was injured a lot and stopped walking, Cheng Qiujun was able to catch up in time every time. However, as long as Cheng Qiu's army appears within ten miles, Jia Rong will immediately lead the soldiers to continue fleeing. A pursuit battle has become a tug of war. It is still somewhat difficult for a person to race against a four-legged war horse.

It's summer now, and the horses don't have to worry about supplies of forage. Although the food is not as good as usual, after running long distances, the horses will not be picky eaters.

As soon as Jia Rong came to the army, he saw Ma Chao running in his direction, so he stopped involuntarily.

"Chao'er, why are you so flustered?" Jia Rong habitually called Ma Chao Chao'er. Those who didn't know thought Ma Chao was Jia Rong's son. Ma Teng had no objection to this. Since he planned to serve in the Xiliang Army, The more Jia Rong valued Ma Chao, the happier Ma Teng was.

Ma Chao said out of breath, "Uncle, Miss Wei is awake."

At Jia Rong's request, Ma Chao obediently calls him uncle every time he sees Jia Rong. This is in exchange for Jia Rong's promise to give Ma Chao a war horse.

Jia Rong's expression froze, and it took him a long time to react and asked, "But Wei Fu is awake?"

Ma Chao nodded affirmatively.

Jia Rong turned around and ran towards the direction of the carriage, leaving behind Ma Chao with a stunned face. As he ran, Jia Rong found that the corners of his eyes were a little moist. A woman can do so much for herself, what can I ask for? The worries were thrown out of the sky, no family or world hegemony was as important as cherishing the person in front of him.

Wei Fu just woke up, her face was not as rosy as before.

As soon as he got into the carriage, Jia Rong noticed Wei Fu who had just woken up and was still pale. Regardless of his image, he knelt in front of Wei Fu's couch, holding Wei Fu's hands and constantly looking at her.

Wei Fu just struggled lightly, then felt relieved. She liked the feeling of being valued by Jia Rong. For a moment, she felt that the sword was nothing. Wei Fu reached out and touched Jia Rong's face with some difficulty. He asked in a difficult tone, "Brother, why are you crying?"

Jia Rong felt sour in his heart, and tears flowed down like broken beads.

Rubbing on the sleeve indiscriminately, he said with a choked tone: "Brother is happy, so happy."

"Fu'er, are you hungry?" Jia Rong asked concerned.

"Yeah." Wei Fu nodded slightly, her face was full of happiness, Jia Rong was able to shed tears for her, and Wei Fu felt warmer, which showed that Jia Rong really cared about her.

"Hurry up and bring up some food." Jia Rongsheng shouted out of the carriage, fearing that Wei Fu would be frightened.

Fortunately, it was noon at this time, and the soldiers had just finished eating, when Ma Teng's family heard the news and hurriedly brought the food over.

Jia Rong took the food and saw that it was a bowl of gruel, showing dissatisfaction, then remembered the situation in the army, and stopped his scolding words.

"Fu'er, there's nothing delicious in the army right now. Let's eat some gruel first, and I'll treat you to some delicious food when I get back to Jincheng." Jia Rong kept stirring the hot porridge with a spoon, and said softly.

Wei Fu nodded obediently, and looked at Jia Rong shyly.

Jia Rong scooped up the porridge and sent it to Wei Fu's mouth. Just as he touched the porridge, Wei Fu let out a soft cry.

Jia Rong felt the heat of the porridge, and said embarrassedly: "Brother is too stupid." After speaking, he blew on the hot porridge with his mouth and sent it to Wei Fu's lips again.

The corners of Wei Fu's eyes turned red, she held the spoon in her mouth, and swallowed it with difficulty. The porridge is not delicious, on the contrary, it is very difficult to drink, but with Jia Rong personally feeding it, Wei Fu feels that this is the best porridge in the world , a bowl of gruel, I ate it with tears in my eyes, no matter how Jia Rong asked, Wei Fu shook her head and remained silent.

When Jia Rong finished feeding the bowl of gruel, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Looking at the tired look on Wei Fu's face, Jia Rong said with concern: "Fu'er rest early, I'll come back later."

Wei Fu glanced at Jia Rong reluctantly, then closed his eyes in a flash, and Jia Rong pulled the quilt on Wei Fu upwards.

"You've done a good job. If you have any conditions, just ask, and I will try my best to satisfy you." After getting off the carriage, Jia Rong said to the doctor who was standing quietly beside him.

The doctor's excited lips kept trembling, and he said: "Thank you, General!" After knowing Jia Rong's specific identity, the doctor understood the weight of Jia Rong's seemingly random words, and the hard work for many days was worth it.

Jia Rong nodded, and rushed to the army. The military situation was urgent and there was no room for carelessness. When Wei Fu woke up, Jia Rong felt a lot more relieved, and even the irritability of being chased by Cheng Qiu all day was swept away.

The group of people quickly threw Cheng Qiu away, leaving Cheng Qiu only with dense horseshoe marks.

"General, an enemy army was found five miles ahead. There are about 500 people. The banner in the army is "Geng." The scout brought the news from the front.

After Jia Rong nodded to show that he knew, his expression gradually turned solemn. After marching for only five days, he encountered four enemy troops. Needless to say, these troops were all Gengbi troops. General people.

"Why are there so many troops surnamed Geng?" Jia Rong slandered secretly, it seemed that Geng Bi was not as weak as he imagined.

In Liangzhou, those whose surname is Geng and hold great power must have a lot to do with Geng Bi.

"Ma Teng, you lead the army to find out." Jia Rong ordered.

Ma Teng picked more than a hundred cavalry from the army and hurried away under the leadership of the scouts.

"Brother Jiang, what do you think about this matter?" Jia Rong had a bad feeling about this matter.

Jiang Yu's high position in the Xiliang army is not only because of the old people who followed Jia Rong in the first place, but also because Jiang Yu has good skills in both running the army and fighting, which is why he can convince the crowd.

"From the humble point of view, there must be a lot of enemy troops ahead, otherwise Cheng Qiu would not lead the soldiers to follow our army closely for many days. His intention is obvious, let the soldiers in front entangle us, and then Cheng Qiu will lead the army away. Come and completely surround us," Jiang Yu said slowly after thinking for a moment.

Jia Rong nodded. Jiang Yu's analysis made sense, especially the reaction of Cheng Qiu's team. Chasing cavalry with infantry would only be done if the brain is too funny. The only possibility is that Cheng Qiu has something to rely on.

"Which direction do you two think we should go?" Jia Rong unfolded the map and asked.

Zhang Zhi and Jiang Yu squatted down and looked at the map carefully.

After a long time, Zhang Zhi pointed to the northeast direction with bright eyes and said, "General, if we retreat in this direction, the enemy will never expect that we will go from Wuwei County to Beidi County."

"Even if they thought about it, they wouldn't pursue it." Jia Rong said lightly.

"Why?" Zhang Zhi asked.

"Because it's a desert, even if an army goes in, it may not be able to come out. Don't you see that the place marked here is a dead place?" Jia Rong explained.

Without enough preparation, stepping into the desert rashly, the only fate is that the whole army will be wiped out. The power of nature should not be underestimated, and this section of the journey to the desert is separated by Pujiao County, as long as Pujiao County is a little If you prepare, you will be impossible to pass. Pujiao County is surrounded by the famous Great Wall, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the city gates are closed, people like Jia Rong will not be able to enter.

This week's push, let's work hard together, collect more, push the iron ride up again, let's work hard together!
