The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 624 Chapter 623 A Dumb

Xu Huang was ordered to garrison Yueyang and build Yueyang City, but more than a month ago, Zhang Yan gave him a special order to bring a thousand elites, disguise themselves as ordinary people, and rush from Yueyang to Chaisang quietly In the city, after Zhou Yu led the army to go out, Xu Huang took the opportunity to capture Chaisang City.

This is why Xu Huang suddenly appeared in Chaisang City.

It's just that Zhou Yu didn't know about all this, and Ling Tong didn't even know about it.

The next morning, when Ling Tong woke up from his sleep, he found himself lying on the bed with a new set of clothes beside his pillow and a bowl of hot soup on the table not far away. The tangy smell immediately aroused his internal organs.

Without further ado, Ling Tong jumped off the bed immediately. After getting dressed, he picked up the bowl of hot soup and drank it down in one gulp.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open, and Xu Huang walked in from the outside wearing the uniform of the Jiangdong Army. After seeing Ling Tong, he asked, "How is it? Did you rest well last night?"

Ling Tong nodded, looked at the unfamiliar Xu Huang with suspicious eyes, and asked, "Are you..."

"I am General Han's general. My surname is Xu. General Han has something to do in Liling City and he can't get away, so let me lead the troops here first. In addition, General Han is still very worried about the safety of the governor, and sent When I come here, I must find the chief governor and bring him back!" Xu Huang replied fluently, with a calm demeanor, without any nervousness, so Ling Tong didn't notice Xu Huang at all.

"The governor's foot was injured and I couldn't walk. I originally came back with the governor on my back, but halfway through, the governor refused to let me carry it. He was afraid that it would affect the military plane, so he drove me back alone. So , I hid the governor. Since you are all here, let’s go and bring the governor back today.” Ling Tong said impatiently.

Xu Huang said: "That's what I mean too. I'm going to gather soldiers and horses right now, and then you lead the way. Let's go find the governor together, how about it?"

"Good!" Ling Tong said.

Therefore, Xu Huang selected a hundred elite cavalry, led by Ling Tong, and went to look for Zhou Yu in a mighty manner.

At this moment, the army led by Huang Zhong and Wen Pin is conducting a carpet-like search, along both sides of the Yangtze River, and continues to search downstream, not letting go of any corner.

And Zhang Yan and Sima Yi, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, carried out a surprise attack on Zhu Huan and other surrendered troops last night, killing them all. So far, all members of the Jiangdong Navy, except Zhou Yu, have been killed. They were all wiped out.

After getting rid of Zhu Huan and other surrendered troops, Zhang Yan and Sima Yi took a boat and went down the river to Chaisang.In addition, he even ordered the troops of Zhang Liao, Gan Ning, Lu Meng and others to gather in Chaisang.Prepare to join forces in Chaisang, and then join forces with Zhao Yun to attack Jiangdong from both sides.

Ling Tong led Xu Huang and others, and because they were riding horses, their speed was doubled, and they soon arrived at the foot of the mountain where Ling Tong hid Zhou Yu.

Yesterday, when Ling Tong led Zhou Yu away, in order to avoid being pursued, he basically walked wherever the road was remote or where the road was difficult, for fear of being overtaken.Now they came all the way along the official road, and when they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Ling Tong said to Xu Huang: "The governor is on this mountain, and I hid him in a cave. Couldn't find him."

Xu Huang said: "In that case, let's dismount and walk on foot, and you will lead the way."

Ling Tong nodded heavily, turned over and jumped off the horse, Xu Huang left [-] people to guard the horses, and he led [-] people to follow Ling Tong up the mountain to find Zhou Yu.

If Zhou Yu was really on this mountain and was captured by Xu Huang at the same time, then he would have made a great contribution this time.Therefore, Xu Huang's face inevitably showed a touch of joy.

After all, Ling Tong was only a child, and he didn't know that what he brought was the enemy's disguise. He just walked forward, and when he reached the middle of the mountain, Ling Tong suddenly left the main mountain road and walked towards a The trail went by.

This path can only accommodate one person, and there are lush branches and leaves around it. If you don't pay attention, you will never find that there is another path inside.

Ling Tong walked at the front of the path, Xu Huang followed closely behind him, and the rest followed behind Xu Huang.

The path was winding and rugged, and it took about a stick of incense before the road gradually opened up, and then about a mile forward before Ling Tong stopped.

"The chief governor is in that cave!" Ling Tong said, pointing to a lush grass not far ahead.

Xu Huang glanced around and said to Ling Tong: "Cave? Why didn't I see any cave?"

"I hid the cave, so of course you won't be able to see it, so follow me." Ling Tongtong took the lead, walking in the front, and said to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang nodded, and waved to the soldiers behind him, and they followed. A group of people followed Ling Tong, walking forward slowly.

When they came to the end, they saw Ling Tong push aside the tree trunks and branches blocking the way, and a cave opened up in front of them.

The inside of the cave was completely dark and he couldn't see anything. Xu Huang asked someone to light a torch and walked in with the torch. Ling Tong was the first to get into the cave. With the faint light of the torch, I searched around the cave, but I couldn't find a single figure except for a pile of burnt bonfires.

"Strange, where's the governor?" Seeing this, Ling Tong murmured. There were indeed traces of activities in the cave, but why couldn't anyone be seen?

Xu Huang's originally happy face suddenly changed. He found the place, but he couldn't find Zhou Yu. Could it be that the duck he got just flew away?

"Where's the governor?" Xu Huang walked up to Ling Tong and asked.

Ling Tong said: "I don't know very well. When I left, I obviously hid the governor here. How could it disappear?"

At this moment, a soldier walked in from outside the cave, and said directly to Xu Huang: "General Qi, we caught a suspicious person at the foot of the mountain, please go and find out what happened."

Xu Huang and Ling Tong looked at each other, and said in unison: "Could it be the governor?"

Two people, with different thoughts, but they all have the same purpose, that is to find Zhou Yu, so the group hurried down the mountain to see what happened.

At the foot of the mountain, the soldiers who were in charge of guarding the horses caught a lame man in ragged clothes. He was unkempt and looked like a beggar. He only wore close-fitting clothes, and nothing else.The lame man tried to steal the horse, but was caught by the soldiers and tied up directly. No matter what the soldiers asked him, he would never answer, so the soldiers thought he was dumb.

Half an hour later, Xu Huang, Ling Tong and others came down from the mountain. When the soldiers handed over the suspicious person they had captured, Ling Tong only took one look, and just about to open his mouth to yell, the man on the note shook his head vigorously. , Ling Tong frowned, and immediately became alert.

The person who was arrested was none other than Zhou Yu.

Last night, Ling Tong did put Zhou Yu in the cave, but after a night of rest, Zhou Yu was already hungry. Although his feet were injured, he could bear it. During the day, he came out to look for food , While wandering in the mountains, I got lost and couldn't find the way back.So, Zhou Yu came down the mountain, just in time to see a group of soldiers wearing Jiangdong Army uniforms guarding the horses. He wanted to rush over to identify himself, but out of caution, Zhou Yu approached them and eavesdropped.

As a result, Zhou Yu overheard the conversation between them, and only then did he know that these people were not Jiangdong Army, but the Han Army pretending to arrest him.

Zhou Yu then wanted to steal the horse and took the opportunity to escape, but he didn't want his foot injury to get in the way. Instead of stealing the horse, he was arrested instead.

Zhou Yu was the soul of the Jiangdong Army, and no one knew about it, but the soldiers watching the horses didn't even know Zhou Yu, which made Ling Tong doubtful.

Ling Tong walked up to Zhou Yu calmly. Xu Huang, who had been by Ling Tong's side all the time, looked at Zhou Yu's attire, and saw that Zhou Yu was also wearing the uniform of a Jiangdong Army soldier. He looked very embarrassed, probably a deserter.But at this time, Xu Huang also had to be careful, maybe Zhou Yu was nearby.

"What's your name?" Xu Huang asked.

Zhou Yu didn't speak, but Xu Huang's subordinates hurriedly said: "General, this person has been silent all this time, he must be dumb."

Xu Huang stared at Zhou Yu with sharp eyes, and then said, "Since he is dumb, there is nothing to ask. But if we can't find Governor Zhou, wouldn't our trip be in vain?" Dumb, let me ask you, have you seen the Great Governor? If you have, just nod, if you haven't, just shake your head!"

Zhou Yu shook his head.

Xu Huang said to Ling Tong: "Now the whereabouts of the governor is unknown, we must find him as soon as possible. Where do you think the governor is most likely to go?"

Ling Tong said: "If the governor leaves, he will definitely return to Chaisang. Why don't we go along the mountain road and look for it in the direction of Chaisang?"

Xu Huang said: "This is a good idea. However, in this way, we will not be able to ride horses. There are so many horses, what should we do?"

"It's better to let them go back to Chaisang together with this mute." Ling Tong suggested.

Xu Huang thought for a moment, although he was extremely reluctant to take this dumb soldier of unknown origin back to Chaisang, but in order not to arouse Ling Tong's suspicion, he had no choice but to do so.So Xu Huang ordered Zhou Yu to go back to Chaisang with his [-] cavalry.

Just when Xu Huang was about to announce this order, his eyes suddenly glanced at Zhou Yu's ankle, but saw that there were several scars on the foot, and the flesh could already be seen. Then he thought of what Ling Tong said that Zhou Yu's foot was injured. , the two match very well, so Xu Huang suddenly shouted at the mute: "Zhou Yu!"
