Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 216 What else can I do!
This is a flat land with mountains on two sides and a river bridge in front.

The soldiers and horses led by Yang Shuo were right in front of the bridge. They all seemed to be capable soldiers. They lined up on horseback. Although they were a little messy, they all remained still. Occasionally, a horse snorted.

This formation immediately restrained Wei Ou and others. Looking at the tall figures riding one after another, they felt inexplicably at ease.

Especially Sun Min and others, comparing the soldiers and horses in front of them with the horse thieves in their memories, gained even more confidence.

After Wei Ou saluted, he looked up at Yang Shuo and then at the soldiers and horses behind the general, feeling increasingly at ease.

"Are you Wei Ou? Are you a famous scholar in Shu?" Looking at Wei Ou with a flattering smile in front of him, Yang Shuo nodded slightly, "You seem to be quite capable, but you were almost killed by a horse thief?"

Wei Ou could still smile when he heard the previous words, but when he heard the second words, his expression changed. He opened his mouth to say something, but before he could speak, Yang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Okay, no need to say more. I saw that the men and horses you brought are too messy and cannot be used for much purpose."

Wei Ou said: "General Yang, the bandits are rampant and cruel. We must surround him with several times the number of troops..."

"Soldiers are expensive and fine. Needless to say, there are so many. You have brought so many people, and only those horses can be used. Go over and tell them clearly, and let the leader lead the soldiers and horses to form a team. I command them not to cause trouble, otherwise they can be taken back."

"As long as people come on horseback, this..." Wei Ou became even more worried when he heard this. When he thought about it, to deal with the group of horse thieves, the more people and horses, the better. It would be best to wait until everyone is here before setting off. Foolproof - At this time, the county and checkpoint soldiers who were notified were brave, and some were still on the way and did not have time to arrive.

In Wei Ou's opinion, there were not many people who actually arrived, and even fewer who were on horseback. Most of them were people sent by aristocratic families.

"You think there are few people?" Yang Shuo glanced at Wei Ou and laughed, "According to you, there are only more than a hundred horse thieves. Even if there are 200 people, these 200 people have no baggage or supplies. A short raid is okay. , if they get caught in a slight tug of war, they can only retreat, not to mention horse thieves and others. Everyone shouts and beats them, and they don’t dare to stay in one place for a long time. With such a team, if you ask this general to bring hundreds of them over, the news will spread. , I don’t have the shame to meet my colleagues.”

Wei Ou became worried and said, "General, you don't seem to have many soldiers and horses..."

The soldiers and horses behind Yang Shuo looked solemn and majestic, calming most of the people present. However, the total number of people was not large. It looked like less than a hundred horses. Wei Ou thought there would be more follow-up, but hearing this, [-]% There is no more to add.

Yang Shuo looked a little impatient and said, "Not much? I think it's enough. Don't worry about these things. Just pass on what I say."

Wei Ou suddenly didn't dare to say anything, turned around and went to deliver the message.

Looking at his hurried away figure, Yang Shuo couldn't help but sneer and said to a close soldier: "Look at these scholars, when we are not needed, their eyes can grow to the top of their heads. Seven out of ten sentences It's a sarcastic comment, but once we are used, it will be different. If you look at this diligence, those who don't know would think they are my staff."

The soldier next to him smiled knowingly, and then said softly: "General, it's better to say less. There are a lot of people here, so don't let anyone listen."

"I know, don't worry." Yang Shuo nodded, just in time to see someone walking towards him.

"General Yang..." The man smiled and held his hands in greeting, it was Sun Min.

Yang Shuo thought about it slightly and suddenly thought: "This must be Mr. Sun. I remember we met you once in Jianye before."

Sun Min laughed and nodded: "Yes, but I was far away from the general that time, and there were elders and superior officials here, so I didn't talk to the general. Now that I have resigned from the official position and traveled around the world, I got the opportunity." .”

Yang Shuo was still planning to make a few sarcastic remarks, but when he heard the word resignation, he was slightly shocked and nodded: "Master Sun was also disturbed by horse thieves this time. Don't worry, since I am here, I will definitely not spare them."

Sun Min smiled and chatted a few words, which made Yang Shuo feel comfortable. Then he asked about Wang Mi's battle, and Yang Shuo revealed what he knew and could tell.

On the other side, Wei Ou hurriedly came to the side of the visitor from the aristocratic family and spread Yang Shuo's suggestion. Suddenly, the leaders of these aristocratic families and wealthy families were a little embarrassed.

"It's not that I can't trust Mr. Wei and General Yang. I really don't dare to take it lightly. If something goes wrong, we will lose the servants we have finally trained."

"Mr. Wei, I hope you can understand. It's not that we are unwilling to cooperate, but if we hand over the command, what if General Yang sends me and others to do that dangerous thing? Wouldn't it be impossible to stop it?"

"Mr. Wei, go and make it clear to General Yang that as long as you can ensure that our troops and horses do not go on dangerous missions, you can hand over the command."

They, the people from the aristocratic families, originally thought that since there were many people, they would bring people here to sell favors. But now that they think about it, they don’t really have many people gathered, and they have to let their servants be commanded in case they can’t be saved. The loss would be huge.

But when Wei Ou heard it, he also became annoyed. From Yang Shuo's words, he could hear that he could not be changed, and it was not difficult to guess that the deputy general of Zhonglang just wanted to use this action to show his majesty and ensure that he would not be punished. The constraint is that if, according to the leaders of these aristocratic families, you have to promise not to do anything dangerous, then where is Yang Shuo's authority?Wei Ou can be sure that if the deputy general doesn't fall out on the spot, he will be saved.Therefore, he will not do this. He can only coerce and lure a few leaders here.

"Everyone, you have brought your soldiers and horses here. If you take them away now, you will not only offend me and others, but also General Yang will keep it in mind. We will go north to Qingzhou and leave, but General Yang is stationed here. , aren’t you afraid that he will pursue it later? Even if he doesn’t pursue it, just keeping it in mind is not a good thing, right? "

As soon as these words came out, the leaders' expressions changed. Wei Ou struck while the iron was hot and began to draw a blueprint for them and talk about the future. Finally, he finally made it clear. Then he hurriedly brought the results to Yang Shuo, only to see the foreigner. The military general was chatting and laughing with Sun Min.

Wei Ou was stunned for a moment with complicated eyes, but he still stepped forward and told the result.

"You can do things well, then let's set off now. We're late, and I haven't prepared enough marching rations. I can't wait. Let those people follow you. If you fall behind, don't blame me!"

"Ah? So urgent?" Wei Ou was stunned, but still nodded, "I'll go and pass on the order right away."

As soon as the words fell, Yang Shuo said to Sun Min in a pleasant tone: "Master Sun, just ride on my prepared horse. Our horse has excellent endurance and has been trained to ensure that you are not in danger."

Sun Min smiled and said: "Thank you General for your kindness. Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful."

When the cavalry is marching, sometimes one person and two people ride on each other. This is called preparing horses.

Wei Ou felt very uncomfortable. Although he knew that he was not as good as Sun Min in terms of fame, he was running around here like a messenger, while Sun Min was chatting and laughing with Yang Shuo. The gap was a bit big.

"This Yang Shuo, a warrior, bosses me around just because I ask for something from him. It's really unworthy of me, but I have to endure it for a while and wipe out the horse thieves. No one can erase my contribution to advocacy, and then with the help of Xing Xing If you become famous through altar affairs, your reputation will surpass that of Chen Zhi, and even Sun Min will not be able to match my reputation by then."

Thinking silently about it would mess up the big plan. Wei Ou restrained his thoughts and conveyed Yang Shuo's meaning again.

In this way, amidst all kinds of compromises and intrigues, this improvised team finally set off.

The main body of the team was still the nearly a hundred cavalry brought by Yang Shuo, followed by the cavalry servants from each family. These servants totaled more than 60 cavalry, and a "cavalry" of 200 people passed through Surabaya and headed north.

Compared with Yang Shuo's team, the servants' mounts were different in height, coat color, fatness and thickness, and their running speeds were also different. Fortunately, the entire team was not moving fast, so no one would be left behind.

They drove quickly along the official road. Anyone who saw him along the way was eager to give way. Yang Shuojun quickly bypassed a jungle. On the edge of the forest, there was a tall man holding a spear and carrying a dead wolf. He looked at this The horse team smacked their lips.

"The ones at the front are the officers and soldiers. They look really majestic. It's so joyful to be able to lead the army in battle and gallop on the battlefield. Let's wait until we go back this time to see if it can be put into operation before entering the military camp."

As he spoke, he carried the wolf on his shoulders, raised his spear, and walked south.

On the other side, Yang Shuo and his party traveled quickly all the way, but instead of heading north, they would send people to the villages and towns along the way to inquire about the situation and estimate the movements of the horse thieves.

However, this feedback information made Yang Shuo confused for a while.

"On the way north, we can know from many people's mouths that a large number of horse teams, obviously not official soldiers, did pass by, but they did not harm the villages and towns along the way. This is simply not the style of horse thieves, unless They have other goals!”

After analyzing this, he called Wei Ou over and asked bluntly: "Is there something you didn't say? How much do you know about this group of horse thieves?"

Wei Ou thought for a moment and then said, "I don't know, General Yang, have you heard of Chen Zhi?"

Yang Shuo was taken aback.

Wei Ou didn't wait for his reply, and then said to himself: "The general lives at the junction of Qingxu, and maybe he is not familiar with this person. This person who was recently designated as a high-grade product is a person from Pengcheng. Sooner or later, there will be rumors Come here, when we encounter the horse thief, the leader of the horse thief once mentioned this person, so I suspect that Chen Zhi must be related to the horse thief. The horse thief went north, and he should be heading towards him. Either we or we will go there along the way. Regardless of the common people, it will bring disaster to the fish in the pond! In the final analysis..."

After talking about it, he showed a trace of compassion and was about to sigh when he saw Yang Shuo slap his thigh.

"You should have told me earlier! If I knew it was related to Mr. Chen, why would I do anything?"
