Chapter 605: Help me stand for a while
Over the mountains and through the valleys, the hustle and bustle in the distance has long gone.
Zhang He and his party dared to stop and take a breath.
As soon as I drank some water from the mountain spring, I heard the barking of a dog from behind. Several people looked at each other, and they all saw doubts in each other's eyes: Where did the dog come from at this time?
“Could it be a woodcutter’s family nearby?”
Someone said something.
“This hunter is quite bold…”
Someone else answered.
Zhang He turned around suddenly, with a nervous look on his face, "No! This must be the Han army chasing us! Let's go quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the roar of the wind, and a crossbow arrow was shot. It was blocked by the dense vegetation and landed not far behind him.
At the same time, there was also a figure jumping from the left side, apparently trying to block the way ahead.
“Go to the right!”
Zhang He took the lead and walked through the mountain forest on the right.
Liu Hun saw the Cao thief disappear all of a sudden, gritted his teeth, cursed secretly, and ordered, "You continue to chase, I will go to the front."
After saying that, he ran to the right alone.
At that time, in order to meet the magistrate of Nanxiang County, Han Long also used his unique tracking skills to hunt down the evildoers ordered by the government to hunt down. Although Liu Hun was not as good as his master, he finally learned some skills.
He looked at the direction in which Zhang He and others were running, then made an estimate, and went straight over the mountain, searching continuously.
Unexpectedly, when he climbed over the mountain, there was a sound of rushing water. When he looked up, he saw a river suddenly appearing in front of him.
His mind moved. The river looked like it was flowing to the foot of Jieting Nanshan Mountain.
Now Longguan in the east and street pavilions in the west are both under the control of the Han Dynasty.
Don't go to the north, otherwise Zhang He and others will starve to death in the mountains of Longshan.
Only in the south are the Cao thieves from Qingshui County in Guangwei County who can respond, so they must go south.
If you go south, you must cross this river.
Liu Hun patrolled the river constantly, found a ford where he could cross the river, and then found a place to hide.
I don’t know how much time passed, but I heard someone shouting loudly not far away, “General, you can cross the river here!”
He quietly poked his head out from behind the big rock, and saw a group of people rushing towards him with an old man in his fifties. Who could it be if it wasn't Zhang He?
Very good!
Liu Hun was overjoyed. He sat on the ground, pushed the ring on the heavy crossbow, and then used the rod to stretch the string to the maximum. Finally, he put the arrow feathers in the arrow trough and began to raise the crossbow to aim.
Looking along the Wangshan Mountain on the crossbow, Liu Hun found that Zhang Heli was between 200 and 150 steps away. He couldn't help but feel worried: Zhang Heli was surrounded by so many people, and he only had one chance. Just find a good angle.
“God bless me, I will succeed...”
Liu Hun muttered silently about the faith on the grassland and narrowed his eyes.
Zhang He led his guards into the river. Seeing the nervous expressions on their faces, he couldn't help but smile and comfort him, "Don't worry, as long as I wait to cross this river, the dogs of the Shu captives will be useless." . Then they will no longer pursue...ah!"
Before Zhang He finished speaking, he suddenly screamed and couldn't stand, so he turned over and fell into the river.
The sound of the river beneath my feet covered up the sound of bowstrings and the sound of flying crossbow arrows piercing the air.
“General!”
When the guards saw him, they hurriedly bent down to help him up.
Some people turned their heads and looked around, "Someone is attacking!"
Liu Hun was overjoyed when he saw Zhang He fell. He didn't dare to stay any longer, so he immediately got up and ran away.
On the opposite side are the general's bodyguards, who are beyond the reach of ordinary soldiers. In order to facilitate tracking, I didn't take the spear with me, only the crossbow and knife.
If the people on the opposite side swarm him, he may not be able to beat him. Anyway, Zhang He has already been hit by an arrow and is not far from death.
This crossbow arrow is a poisonous arrow specially used in the Dark Night Camp. I heard that if you are hit by the arrow, you will definitely die unless you let Feng Langjun's medical workers treat it.
Seeing a figure escaping quickly, the guards' eyes turned red. Everyone was so angry that they wanted to rush over and cut this person into pieces.
They were about to escape, but something like this happened at the last moment. How could they not be shocked and angry?
"Stop chasing me. I'm fine. I just got an arrow in my knee."
"This person ran away with one blow. It is obvious that there are no accomplices nearby. Take this opportunity and run away quickly!"
Zhang He was already soaked while being helped up. A long arrow penetrated his knee, causing him to break into a cold sweat. When he saw someone wanting to turn around and chase him, he gritted his teeth and tried to dissuade him.
When the guards saw that Zhang He was only injured, they were overjoyed. They quickly carried Zhang He on their backs and tried their best to leave this ghost place as soon as possible.
Liu Hun ran away far away. When he saw that no one was chasing him, he stood still and suddenly burst into laughter.
After returning home, all you have to do is wait for news from Cao Cao. As long as the news comes that Zhang He is dead, then this great achievement will definitely be yours.
With this thought in mind, he looked for another direction and prepared to follow the direction of the river back to the street pavilion.
Street pavilion.
“Is General Feng okay?”
Jiang Wei came to the stage and asked cautiously.
A head poked out from above, "Oh, it's General Jiang, come up."
Jiang Wei got permission and dared to go up to the high platform. He saw Feng Yong had found a chair from somewhere and was sitting there listlessly, with his eyelids drooping.
He couldn't help being surprised, "Is General Feng injured?"
“Oh, nothing, just too tired.”
Feng Yong replied weakly, "I haven't slept a wink in the past, and I have directed this battle again. I am really exhausted. Now that I am relieved, I just want to sleep."
But the words you used to scold Zhang He were very angry!
Jiang Wei thought in his mind, but followed Feng Yong's words, "General Feng led his army all the way down from Longguan, and he commanded the army to defeat Zhang He without taking a rest. He must have worked hard, and it is normal to be a little tired."
"Yes!" Feng Yong replied without blushing. He didn't think there was any problem with the statement that he "commanded this war." "It makes sense that this mountain-climbing general is called a famous general. He was so difficult to deal with that he almost He succeeded."
Jiang Wei's face twitched, and he thought to himself, Zhang He's title as mountain-climbing general was decided just like that?
“It’s just that as the coach, I can’t live without him. Now that General Jiang is here, can you do me a favor?”
“General Feng, please give me your orders.”
Jiang Wei said quickly.
"Very good!"
“General Feng, this is...”
Jiang Wei asked with some confusion.
"I'm going to get some sleep first. Please ask General Jiang to help me stand here and show off to the soldiers below."
Feng Yong explained casually.
Jiang Wei was so worried when he heard this that he quickly grabbed Feng Yong's wrist, "How can this happen? If someone finds out, this...this..."
“Huh, as long as no one comes up, who will know?”
Feng Yong pointed to the distance, "Now that we have won a big victory, everyone has gone to chase the defeated army. They won't be able to come back for a while. In addition, there is no need for the commander to give orders at this time. Staying here is just a show. .”
"And don't worry, my generals can solve problems on their own and know what to do at this time. No one will come to trouble you."
The next step is to calculate the merits, account for the losses, heal the injured, give everyone a delicious meal, and then count the captures and so on.
These are all handled by a professional logistics management team, so Feng Yong doesn’t have to worry about it at all. He only needs to know the final statistics.
Feng Yong saw that Jiang Wei still looked frightened, and immediately said, "If someone really comes looking for me, General Jiang will call me. Is that okay?"
Staying on this high platform looks very majestic, but in fact it is just showing off silently.
Just like this, it can boost the morale of the soldiers and make them think that the commander is always watching them. It can also enhance the commander's majesty and unite people's hearts.
But for Feng Turtle at this time, as long as the person standing here is a humanoid creature, it can meet this requirement. Others only think that it is him, so who can pretend or not?
He was almost exhausted, so he might as well take a nap to regain some energy.
“But General Feng, I brought a lot of Qiang and Hu this time. If they want to see me for anything..."
“Ha, that’s just right. General Jiang can just stand up here and give orders. Others will only think you are standing next to me.”
Feng Yong smiled with his hands, then yawned again, waved his hands, sat back in the chair, tilted his head and closed his eyes.
Feng Yong was not joking when he said he was tired.
He led the troops all the way down from Longguan and was under great pressure. He never slept a wink. In addition, he faced Zhang He for most of the day and was highly stressed.
Once you relax, your whole body will not only feel sore and your steps will feel limp, but more importantly, your mind will become a little blurry. As long as you stand still for a while, you can fall asleep immediately.
He knew that this was a warning from his body and brain to be overtired, so at this last insignificant moment of the battle, he really couldn't stand it anymore and needed to get some sleep.
It is not impossible to remove the commander's flag directly from the high platform.
But at this time, it is the time to enhance the self-confidence and cohesion of the new army. The commander's flag is standing on the high platform, which means that the commander is with them.
Feng Yong was naturally unwilling to let go of such an opportunity.
Jiang Wei happened to be here, and Feng Yong conveniently gave him the task of staring at the soldiers - as long as he didn't climb up to get a real look, who would know that the guy standing on the high platform was not the commander?
After listening to Feng Yong's words, Jiang Wei remembered that these Qiang and Hu would eventually have to be dealt with by Feng Yong. If he stood here, he could just use Feng Langjun's name to give the Qiang and Hu peace of mind.
With this thought in mind, he moved his lips and finally acquiesced.
“Go and bring me a woolen blanket. It feels a little cold. Also, cover this box so that the wind doesn’t blow away the notes inside.”
Feng Yongke didn’t care what Jiang Wei was thinking, he felt a little uncomfortable sleeping and grumbled again.
)
Bu Qu who was guarding the side quickly ran off the stage, and soon came up with a thick blanket in his arms.
Jiang Wei:…
"Comfortable."
Feng Yong yawned again, his eyes were sore and watering from his eyes. He directly picked up the blanket and wiped it, then slumped down on the chair and fell asleep.
Jiang Wei stood there blankly, his eyes involuntarily looking at Feng Yong, who was sleeping soundly.
I saw that his features were pretty and there was no gloomy look on his face. I thought to myself that Feng Langjun was young and had an upright face, and he didn’t seem to be a ruthless person...
Maybe it’s because I’ve been under too much pressure recently, or maybe I’m thinking about something, so I have a dream.
Zhang Xingyi appeared in the dream, and he learned a trick from Guan Ji, called reverse push. At the most critical moment, Guan Ji suddenly rushed in with a cold face, holding a long knife and was about to cut the heartless man into pieces, and then...
Someone patted me on the shoulder, and at the same time a voice sounded in my ear, "You are at ease, kid. We are all going to chase the thief, but you are sleeping here."
Feng Yong was so excited that he shouted loudly without even opening his eyes, "Listen to my explanation..."
After shouting, he realized that he had woken up from his dream. He rubbed his eyes and saw someone looking at him condescendingly.
These eyes, this face...
“Hey, uncle...er, General Zhang, why are you here?”
Feng Tibi was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and stood up quickly.
Fortunately, this term is not popular these days, otherwise Zhang Bao would have turned against him.
"Don't worry, everyone knows that you are exhausted. As long as you win a big victory, no one will pursue these minor problems. It's such a small thing, no need to explain."
Zhang Bao patted his shoulder and said considerately.
Feng Yong chuckled and did not explain.
At this time, he realized that it was completely dark and he didn't know what time it was.
Torches were lit on the high platform. Not only Zhang Bao came, but also Liu Yin, Zhang Yi, Wang Han, Liu Hun and others were there, crowding the high platform.
He looked at Jiang Wei, the meaning in his eyes was clear: Why don't you wake me up?
Jiang Wei's face was a little embarrassed, and there was a slight sweat on his forehead, "General Feng, you were too asleep just now. The general called a few times, but couldn't wake you up."
He had just arrived recently, and Feng Langjun's reputation was so great that he was worried about being remembered by someone, so he was naturally a little nervous.
It suddenly dawned on Feng Yong that no wonder in his dream, when he and Zhang Xingyi were alone in the room, they heard someone calling him outside the door.
Liu Yin, on the other hand, raised his hand and said, "General Feng is calm and composed in front of the formation, and he is able to lie down peacefully. This magnanimity is really admirable."
With these words, the situation was resolved, and everyone was smiling.
After laughing, Zhang Bao sighed, "Not long after I arrived in Jicheng, I heard the news of the fall of Lueyang. This situation is beyond the prime minister's arrangement."
"Later, I hurriedly led the army northward. I heard about Ma Su's defeat halfway, and my heart was already cold. I had no sleep day and night thinking about the whole journey."
"If Jieting is lost, the Northern Expedition will be in vain, and the losses will be extremely heavy. Therefore, I have cursed Ma Su more than once. He is a sinner of the Han Dynasty. Killing him will not relieve my hatred."
“I didn’t expect that when I recaptured Lueyang, I first heard that the street pavilion had not been lost, and then I heard that you had led your army to come back for reinforcements. It was really beyond my expectation.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Bao patted Feng Yong on the shoulder again and praised, "In this Northern Expedition, you first captured Longguan and then defeated Zhang He. You are truly the number one hero of the Northern Expedition."
After hearing this, Feng Yong couldn't stop the smile on his face. He waved his hands and said modestly, "I didn't defeat Zhang He, I just couldn't beat him."
"Zhang He is a famous general, and his men are elite soldiers. I heard that there are many veterans of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who chased the late emperor on Changban Slope. You can fight like this with him, which is considered to be a rare thing." ”
Zhang Bao said sincerely, "Even if I come, I'm afraid I won't be able to do this, so you don't have to be modest."
Feng Yong mentioned Ma Di just now, and then he remembered it and slapped his thigh, "Oh no, I forgot to send people to collect the broken troops from Lueyang and Ma Su's defeated troops."
