Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the Qin people's withdrawal and the Wei army's free time to bury Masan. But he didn't expect to encounter a large army while digging the cave. The four of them planned to climb to the ridge to see if the Qin army's retreat was slower than expected, but they arrived today. Zheng Anping suddenly felt something was wrong on the way up the mountain and immediately raised the alarm. Climb up the ridge to observe by yourself.
Zheng Anping first discovered that not far below, there were obvious signs of sitting and lying, and there were clearly people. Looking down along the traces, I found four soldiers who had almost reached the foot of the mountain, holding a red flag in their hands. He suddenly understood what had just warned him: the sound of the red flag waving. It seemed that if they hadn't been in a hurry to get down the mountain, they might have found themselves. He looked in the direction where the four of them were going and saw a forest at the foot of the mountain. There were countless Qin people in the forest!
Zheng Anping gestured to the back, beckoning them to come up. This time, even Xiaosi didn't dare to be careless. He went up the ridge concealed and looked in the direction of Zheng Anping's finger. Sure enough, there were a large number of Qin troops hidden among and behind the trees at the foot of the mountain.
This discovery stunned the four of them: the Qin army was ambushing here, and it was obvious that they wanted to attack and kill the army that was advancing here.
Looking into the distance, the dust on the horizon is getting closer and closer, and the blocking sky is getting bigger and bigger. But it’s still far away and I don’t know which team it is.
Xiao Si suddenly pulled the person next to him and whispered: "The Qin people are back on the scene!"
The four of them quickly looked down the mountain: a group of Qin soldiers were coming towards the mountain. Zheng Anping thought, bad, it seems that the four Qin soldiers didn't notice him just now, they just went down the mountain to report the news. He exchanged a look with Brother Su and said, "Quickly!" He jumped up and ran down the mountain quickly, not even caring about farm tools and grain. The four of them stumbled to the bottom of the mountain, jumped into the boat, and said to the boatman: "Get up and return quickly!"
The boatman was surprised and said: "It's dark, who can sail the boat? If there is a slight whirlpool, the boat will capsize!"
Zheng Anping said: "The Qin people have arrived and set up an ambush on the back of the mountain, which we can spy on. If you want to survive, quickly untie the boat and sail away to survive in the face of death!"
Just as he was talking, he saw a group of soldiers appear on the ridge just now. The boatman was also nervous, and he quickly unmoored the boat and sailed down the river.
When the boat turned into Jishui and entered Xingze, we saw dust on the shore, covering everything along the shore. The boat did not dare to go any further and found a secluded place on the other side to land. After landing, I looked around and saw that there seemed to be a big city in the distance, which must be Xingyang. After everyone discussed it, they headed towards Xingyang together.
There are also many farmers outside Xingyang City who live together in the town. Since I didn't know the details, I didn't dare to enter at will, for fear of being taken away by someone in the dark. It wasn't until a small town appeared in front of him that he dared to knock on the door. The city guard asked on the city, "Who is it?"
Zheng Anping replied: "Those who went to Mang Mountain to dig caves encountered soldiers on the way and did not dare to advance. They came here to help!"
The city guard scolded with a "poof": "It's bad luck! How can you stay at my place if you open the acupuncture point! Leave quickly, leave quickly!"
Zheng Anping said: "If you don't dare to disturb us, there are actually soldiers on the road, so we don't dare to go!"
The city guard said: "Don't say any more, leave now, leave now!"
At this time, a person in the city said: "Wait a minute, let me ask again." A person came up to the city and asked below: "Have you seen the soldiers?"
Zheng Anping said: "I bumped into him on the road, how can I say anything false!"
The man said: "The Qin army passed by yesterday, how can another army pass by again?"
Zheng Anping said: "I don't know how much dust covers the sky and the sun!"
Not long after, the city gate opened, and the man came out and said: "It's getting late, I don't dare to admit guests. Please go to our city to rest for a while!"
He led five people and two boatmen into a gathering place. When the people in that town saw someone coming, they shouted a warning. The man responded and called out the elders in the town and asked him to arrange for the seven people to stay. As expected, these seven people were all arranged to rest in the thatched barn.
Before it was stable, drums were beating in the distance and flames were shooting into the sky! It attracted people from all four towns to come out and watch from a distance. Shouts of death and wails came and went, and bells and drums rang out, and it was hard to tell which direction they were coming from.
The sound of golden drums and shouts lasted almost all night long. The people in the town could no longer bear the sleepiness and all went home to rest. Only four postmen and the man from the city still stopped to watch. Until the sound fades away.
The man said to the four of them: "Although you are short and brown, you must be from the country. I would like to hear his name."
Zheng Anping said: "We are all Wei post soldiers, so it doesn't matter. Some of my colleagues died in the country, and their households were extinct. I couldn't bear to give them away, so they buried them in a cave. May I ask the name of the city lord?"
The man said: "I have lived beside Xingxing for a long time and am a wild man in the countryside. How can I do this?"
Zheng Anping said: "Otherwise, the city lord is elegant in conversation and well-informed, so how can he be unknown!"
The man said: "Three years after I entered Xiang, I gave him the name Xingzhe by offering wine. I won't use him for a long time!"
Zheng Anping asked: "The city lord also knows a lot about soldiers?"
Xingzhe said: "A common man in the countryside can safely learn about the army. But if your home is in a messy land, you must be careful. The war is over, and I don't expect our city to be alive anymore. Your hometown may be hit by another military disaster!"
Zheng Anping said: "How can you see it?"
Xingzhe said: "The Qin people left with Wei alliance, and now they are fighting with Wei. Wouldn't they rather fight with Wei?" Zheng Anping was speechless.
After Xingzhe left, the three people asked Zheng Anping, "What did he say?"
Zheng Anping said: "The people of Qin and the alliance of Wei have vowed to have good relations. Now that Qin retreats and there are troops to cover it up, Qin will definitely use Wei as a renegade alliance and raise an army to investigate!"
Brother Su said: "This must not be the Wei army..." He suddenly thought of something and stopped talking.
Xiaosi hadn't thought about it yet and asked: "Why not Wei Jun?"
Zheng Anping said: "We must support the Korean army of Wei!"
Xiao Si suddenly collapsed on the ground and said: "What an injustice! It happened that the Korean army had to sneak up on Qin, but Qin set up an ambush here... How can this injustice be washed away!"
Zheng Anping said: "There is no need to delay now, we must retaliate to the country. If the Koreans are attacked, the beam will be in danger!"
Brother Su said: "Brother said so. But what did we do? Do we believe his words?"
Zheng Anping said: "Just tell me in the countryside of Daliang, if you see it on the road, you don't dare to hide it! Whether you believe it or not will be revealed to the sky!"
The four of them decided to wake up the three of them and said: "The soldiers are coming! Return as soon as possible to prepare for them!"
The three of them still didn't believe it and said, "How will the battle be like? How can we reach Daliang?"
Zheng Anping said: "The Qin people have defeated the Korean army and will attack Liang again." The other three nodded in agreement. The three men got up and found a boat on the shore. They only dared to walk along this shore until they entered Jishui.
Not long after entering Jishui, a person on the shore shouted loudly: "Yongzhou! Yongzhou! It's worth a hundred dollars!..."
Zheng Anping looked over and saw three Korean soldiers lying on the shore. They seemed to be defeated soldiers who were fleeing. They were wearing armor and swords, and they were obviously of high status.
Zheng Anping said: "You can disarm and go to the soldiers, and we will pick them up! Otherwise, if you are encountered by the soldiers, you will be in disaster!"
The three of them met and discussed for a while. Sure enough, they took off their armor and stripped naked. Zheng Anping asked the boatman to row the boat across. As a result, an old man came up first, trembling. Two people helped him get on the boat, and one person followed behind and jumped on the boat. He held a sword in his hand and pointed it at the boatman and said: "Sail the boat quickly!"
Xiaosi wanted to get up, but Zheng Anping quietly held him down. The boatman did not dare to resist, so he had to sail the boat away from the shore and down the river.
The man with the sword ordered everyone in the cabin to go to the front deck and asked the two men to help the old man enter the cabin while he stayed on the back deck. The old man said to everyone: "Don't worry, if we can cross over, we will not let you down!"
Under the command of the sword holder on the quarter deck, the boat left Jishui, entered the chasm, and headed southeast.
When they approached the Great Wall, the old man signaled to the sword holder. The sword holder stood up as instructed. When he was approaching the city gate, he suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "I am General Han Bao Yuan! I am General Han Bao Yuan!" …”
The ship was held up by three blocking ropes. The soldiers ordered everyone to get off the boat. The old man said to the soldiers guarding the gate: "I am General Han Baoyuan, and these three people are my guards. I would like to see the guards of Putian!"
The gatekeeper was a little at a loss. He had no choice but to take the old man to see his superiors and order the rest of the people to stay. The three people wanted to protest, but the old man stopped them. About a meal later, warning drums sounded from Putian City. Then a military envoy came and took the three shirtless men away, gave the boatman a hundred coins and asked them to leave. The boatman heard that he was a general, and if he dared to accept it, he returned it to the envoy with both hands. The military envoy took it into his arms without batting an eyelid.
When the group got on the boat again, a patrol boat had already come out of the waterway, and the city gate was closed.
Due to the wrong waterway, this boat cannot return directly to Daliang. It must go around the big bend to Qifeng and then return to Daliang.
The group of people sighed when they knew that the person who had just boarded the ship was actually the famous General Han Baoyuan. Bao Yuan is the supreme commander-in-chief of South Korea, and it is conceivable that the entire South Korean army has fallen into this situation.
While they were sighing, drums sounded upstream. When I looked back, I saw a speedboat pulling its sail and driving its oars down the river. The boatman quickly stepped aside. When the boat got closer, he found Baoyuan sitting on it: he had changed his clothes. The three followers did not bring weapons, but they were guarded by Wei soldiers holding halberds in front of and behind the boat.
The clipper had both sails and oars, and its speed was naturally incomparable to that of a small oar boat. It quickly disappeared from sight. Zheng Anping suddenly remembered that he had forced them to take off the armor. They seemed to have hidden the armor in the water plants on the shore. If they went back now, they might still be able to find it...
Of course, this can only be thought of. Now there is a 90% chance that I will meet Qin Lao head-on when I go back. It will be too late to cry then.
As the current was smooth along the way, even though the oars were rocking, the boat was unsealed in the afternoon.
Unexpectedly, when entering Qifeng, blocking ropes were pulled up on both sides of the river. Zheng Anping and his party had no choice but to get off the boat and go ashore, and asked people around them. It turned out that a speedboat had just passed by and then the river was sealed. This made the boatman jump in a hurry. Zheng Anping quickly comforted him and said, "It's okay!" Then he stepped forward and said to the guarding soldiers: "I was ordered to pick up General Baoyuan and would like to see Dr. Jin Bi."
When the soldiers wanted to check the festival symbols, Zheng Anping said: "Since the clothes have been changed, how can there be any festival symbols? You will know when you see the doctor!"
The leader then led Zheng Anping up one level at a time, all the way to the shogunate - which was in a gorgeous mansion.
