Chapter 184: Hunting for the Big Enemy
Hulu will not hesitate to fight for millions, and revenge is as close as it is thousands of miles away. ----------Tang Li Bai's "Youth Journey"
Chen Long wrote a letter to Jia Wenhe eloquently, expressing his admiration. Between the lines, he revealed the subtle feelings between himself and Jia Xu. He was especially grateful for not exposing Zhong Yao in Chang'an. On the contrary, it means protection. Although Jia Xu was deeply worried, he did leave a way out for Chen Long. If Jia Xu could be persuaded this time and Zhang Xiu could send troops to suppress the Han River, Xiangyang would be besieged on all sides.
For Jia Xu, Chen Long has always had the ambition to recruit. However, Jia Xu was very smart and understood that if he took the initiative to seek refuge, he would be nothing more than a surrendered minister and his status could not be too high. Only if Xu Tu advanced slowly and left a good step can he rise quickly. Moreover, Chen Long's strength was insufficient. Although he rose very quickly, it was difficult to compare with an overlord like Dong Zhuo. Therefore, Jia Xu remained unchanged in response to all changes, and of course he would only wait and act.
Watching the soldiers with the letters in their hands go away, Chen Long waved his hand and said: "Let's set off too! I wonder if the special forces guys have found Tang Zhou?"
Chen Long and other generals rode up to follow the troops. The line of tens of thousands of troops marched like a giant cyan dragon. Dark gray armor and dark red leather armor sparkled in the sun, twisting and turning in khaki and dark black. The wilderness was crawling, and the end of the team disappeared into the mountains.
Chen Long sighed in his heart, Zhao Yun and Huang Gai were both invincible commanders, so they could train Liu Du's troops in Lingling to be so elite. But this army still lacks the domineering spirit of others. I don’t know how much blood it will take to get this domineering spirit.
He sat down on his horse and walked slowly up the hill. The afternoon sun hung warmly in the sky, and all the advisers and generals stood guard around Chen Long, like silhouettes. The soldiers at the foot of the mountain cheered when they saw that Chen Long was as powerful as a god. Chen Long couldn't help but wave his hands repeatedly. The soldiers responded like thunder, and their morale was greatly boosted. A torrent surged in Chen Long's heart, and the poems of later great men couldn't help but come to mind: "The west wind is strong, and the geese in the sky are calling the frosty morning moon. The frosty morning moon, the sound of horse hooves is broken, and the trumpet is swallowing. The Xiongguan road is really like iron, but now I am crossing it from the beginning. Crossing it from the beginning. , Cangshan is like the sea, and the setting sun is like blood."
When the troops arrived at the outskirts of Suiguo, it was already dark. After burying pots to make rice, they slept in the mountains. Chen Long's men had just set up the camp when Lu Chang came back excitedly and saw Chen Long giving him a military salute.
When Chen Long learned about the news about Tang Zhou, he was overjoyed and said, "Let's wait until we get the money."
Lu Chang followed his lord into the big tent, and immediately said: "My lord, Zu Lang and Hao Pu's troops and I divided into three groups and went to Luoshan County to inquire around. Finally, we found Zhu Jun's troops at the Shihe Port in the southwest of Yiyang. The water system there is well developed. There are fish and rice, and the terrain is quite dangerous. It seems that Zhu Jun intends to stay there permanently. But I don't understand why Zhu Jun doesn't lead the army back to the court as he is a regular soldier."
Zhou Busuo was on the side and snorted: "He has really become a grass-headed king." Guo Jiada said: "This may be an incident in the court. Zhu Jun has always been unwilling to follow the trend, so he simply led his troops outside. Keep fighting with him. Liu Pi and Gongdu probably continued their guerrilla warfare, which eventually led Zhu Jun's troops here."
Chen Long pondered: "Liu Pi, Gong Du? They can still fight until now." He thought that if Zhang Ning came forward, he should be able to persuade the two to surrender. However, Zhu Jun's troops are more scratching their heads. He used to be a well-known general, the same generation as Lu Zhi and Huangfu Song. Now he will not bow to the heroes around him, so he avoided the mountains to relax. If Zhu Jun is to be subdued, I'm afraid he will need an edict from the royal family and the opportunity of Chen Long's increasing power.
Chen Long thought of this and asked, "Have you ever discovered Tang Zhou?"
Lu Chang said hurriedly: "I want my lord to know that because everyone has no direct impression of Tang Zhou, we screened the people around Zhu Jun one by one. Everyone else was normal, but there was one attendant who acted very low-key. He walks with his head down and doesn't communicate with anyone, and Zhu Jun rarely talks to him, which can't help but arouse people's suspicion."
"Later, it was confirmed by many parties that this person called himself Wangzhou, but it was a homophone of Tang and Zhou. In order to further confirm his identity, I personally entered his camp at night and stole this thing." As he said this, Lu Chang took it from his arms. Take out a small token.
Chen Long took the token and saw the word "Special Envoy" printed on it. He couldn't help but burst into tears. This token was a relic from when Ma Yuanyi was the Yellow Turban Special Envoy.
Holding the token in his arms, and remembering that Ma Yuanyi's body was torn apart by a car, Chen Long stood up suddenly, waved his hand and said: "Assemble the special forces and set off immediately!"
Lu Chang surrendered and left. Chen Long packed up his weapons, including crossbows, bows and daggers. This time, Tang Zhou must be captured alive to comfort the spirits of his father-in-law Zhang Jiao and eldest brother Ma Yuanyi. His beloved wife Zhang Ning will one day get revenge. Another big enemy, Cao Cao, will be left to the future battlefield with real swords and guns.
Before leaving, Chen Long ordered Zhao Yun to command his troops tomorrow, continue to advance eastward along the Yangtze River, quickly retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, join Huang Zhong's troops, and attack Jiangling along the Yuanjiang River. At the same time, envoys were sent to Huang Zu to appease him to find out Huang Zu's intentions.
Chen Long personally selected a hundred special forces team members, together with three captains, a total of 104 people, who went deep into the mountains overnight and headed straight for Lishui Port. All the way up the green mountains and over the stream, two days later in the afternoon, I saw the end of the mountain valley in the distance, a corner of the camp exposed in the picturesque scenery, and next to it were layers of trapezoidal paddy fields.
Lu Chang pointed at the camp and said, "Hao Pu led dozens of brothers to ambush in the jungle on the side of the camp. Tang Zhou must not be able to escape his sight."
Chen Long nodded slightly and said: "After we meet, we will take action tonight." The group took advantage of the cover of the jungle and quickly joined Hao Pu.
Hao Pu led Chen Long to a surveillance point. The terrain there was slightly higher than the military camp and very close to the military camp. He could clearly see the layout, training, work and rest of the camp. Chen Long lay in the bunker observing, thinking endlessly about the telescopes of later generations.
He was thinking about how to grind a lens and produce glass first. Hao Pu, who was lying next to him, pointed to the big tent in the middle and said: "Every day the military meeting will be held in Zhu Jun's big tent, but who is Zhu Jun next door?" In the little tent."
Then he pointed his finger and said, "The man named Wang Zhou lives in the fifth tent to the west of the middle tent." Chen Long then turned his eyes, stared at the tent and asked, "Is everything normal?"
Hao Pu knew that his lord was asking if Tang Zhou slept in the tent every night, so he nodded and said, "Every day, except for meetings and training, Tang Zhou will come back to sleep."
Chen Long hammered the ground and said, "That's good. I'll tell my sons to live tonight." Hao Pu and Lu Chang agreed quickly.
Chen Long once again observed the layout of the entire camp and saw that the barracks, weapons, food, patrols, guards, and training were all in order. The layout of the barracks was also in line with the art of war. He couldn't help but praise: "Zhu Jun is indeed a famous general in the world. It's a pity that he can't do it for me." Used. Instructions go on, if there is a battle tonight, try not to hurt the opponent's life. If they are captured, say they were sent by Yuan Shu, understand?" Lu Chang and Hao Pu nodded again and again.
After the observation, Chen Long implemented the route for tonight and ordered people to keep an eye on Tang Zhou's movements. He put on his clothes and found a place to rest. He thought of his beloved wife Zhang Ning and thought that he owed his beloved wife too much. His beloved wife gave up the Yellow Turban career and put the entire The support of the Yellow Turban was given to him, and this time he regarded it as an adventure for his beloved wife, and it was worth it.
When it was getting dark, the following special forces team members reported that Tang Zhou had returned to the tent. Soldiers served dinner, but they did not leave the tent after dinner. Chen Longxin said that God willed that this thief should die, and ordered Lu Chang, Hao Pu, and Zu Lang to select seven elites to form an 11-man commando team. Fifty people went to the outside of the military camp to respond, and the remaining 100 people were on the mountainside to provide cover and retreat layer by layer.
Everything is ready, just waiting for late night to come. The camp gradually fell into darkness, with only the occasional light coming from the general's tent. It can be seen that in this remote country, lighting supplies such as lamp oil must be very scarce and precious. As soon as the lights in Tang Zhou's tent went out, Chen Long ordered to set off.
All the team members set out in the dark, wearing a white cloth band around their right arm as their mark. Hundreds of people stopped by the jungle, built fortifications, set up their bows and crossbows, and stood ready to receive Chen Long's return. Another fifty people were lying in a ditch dozens of meters away from the camp, waiting to block possible pursuers.
Chen Long and other eleven people were all the best among the best. They all relied on memory and gestures to advance together in the dark and avoid patrols. A gap was quickly opened in the dense wooden fortress. Eleven people filed in, suddenly stopping and entering each other. From a military tent, they silently entered the core. The snoring of soldiers in the military tent could be faintly heard. .
There were two soldiers guarding the entrance of the square tent where Tang and Zhou lived, and they were already fast asleep. The past few days have been calm and calm, which has already sapped the fighting spirit of the soldiers. After several months here without any danger, who would have thought that an assassin would attack Tang Zhou Dynasty? If he wanted to make a surprise attack, he should attack General Zhu.
Two team members stepped forward and tightly covered the mouths of the two guards. The two guards woke up instantly and felt the cold dagger on their throats. They were speechless for a moment and could not make a sound. They watched helplessly as several people wrapped around their arms The man in black clothed in white cloth quietly entered the tent.
Since Tang Zhou betrayed his companions and betrayed his friends for glory, he was worried that he would be executed by Zhang Jiao's men. He had been very low-key, nervous, and suffered from insomnia for a long time. Tonight, after experiencing the pain of insomnia, I had just drifted off to sleep, when suddenly I felt a dark shadow flickering in front of my eyes. I was wondering, and received a heavy palm on my temple, and I immediately passed out.
The two guards were also knocked unconscious and thrown directly into Tang Zhou's tent. Hao Pu was a strong man, carrying the unconscious Tang Zhou on his back, and quickly retreated. Just halfway, a gong suddenly sounded in the dark night, and everyone was startled.
Chen Long did not hesitate, no longer hiding his figure, and ran straight towards the gap in the village he had just entered. At a glance, he saw two patrolmen standing at the gap and beating gongs. It turned out that they had discovered a man-made hole in the village. Chen Long summoned his might, jumped more than thirty meters in the air, and placed his feet just above the heads of two patrolmen. The patrolmen immediately threw the gong and fainted.
The whole barracks was in an uproar instantly. In just a few minutes, shouts broke out and people rushed towards the sound of the gong. Sure enough, they were well-trained elite soldiers. Fortunately, the eleven people were all excellent at light skills and managed to get out of the stronghold before being surrounded by soldiers.
As anxious as a spark, the group crossed the ditch where fifty special forces members were ambushed, and continued to rush into the jungle. The sound of crossbows sounded from behind, and the pursuing soldiers shouted: "There is an ambush!" Sure enough, the speed of the pursuit slowed down, but the torch Light began to come on in large swaths one after another.
Seeing the obstruction, the fifty special operations team members also retreated one after another, hoping to get rid of the pursuit. At this time, Chen Long and others had already passed the 100-man backup at the edge of the jungle, quickly got into the jungle, and headed straight for Yiyang County along the mountain road.
Chen Long was not worried about the more than a hundred special forces behind him. After they blocked the pursuers, they would break into pieces and evade tracking. What these people trained every day was to survive alone in the wild. In this place which is not a remote place, naturally there is no need to do too much. Too worried.
The people kept changing, carrying Tang Zhou on his back, and running away. The torch light and Zhu Jun's camp behind him were far behind. Chen Long ordered a short rest. At this time, Tang Zhou woke up, and Chen Long ordered him to be tied up.
Tang Zhou woke up completely and stared at everyone in panic. When he was at a loss, he suddenly sighed and said: "I didn't expect that I would not be able to escape the murderous hands of the Yellow Turban Remaining Party. Anyway, since I betrayed Zhang Jiao, I have been unable to sleep all night for fear of revenge. Now that I am in doom, I can finally sleep. Have a peaceful sleep." After saying that, he actually threw himself on the grass and suddenly fell asleep.
