"Captain, do you want to send someone to chase him?"
More than one person noticed that the slave thieves outside Shiheyi fled to the forest of Xiaoheishan. A war captain came to ask Qin Anpu, the captain.
"What are you chasing after? Don't you understand the principle of not entering the forest?" Qin Anpu glanced at the other party angrily.
The slaves and thieves all come out of the forest ditches. Entering the woods is like returning to their own homes. The tiger-character flag soldiers are better at united fighting. Once they enter the woods, they will inevitably disperse, giving the slaves and thieves opportunities to defeat each other.
He thought it was unwise to lose his own soldiers for twenty or thirty slaves.
"The slave thieves outside Shiheyi left so decisively. They must have discovered that something happened at Shiheyi." Deputy Captain Jiang Cheng walked in from outside.
After hearing this, Qin Anpu turned around and said with a frown: "These slave thieves escaped from Jinzhou City. They were already frightened. They may not have noticed anything wrong with Shiheyi, but they were just cautious and distrustful of the Han soldiers under their opponents. Then he left the Han soldiers and fled."
"Maybe! But it's a pity that so many slave thieves have escaped. Do you want to send someone to notify Captain Zhou?" Deputy Captain Jiang Cheng asked.
Qin Anpu said: "You can arrange it. Don't Shiheyi still have horses? It would be faster to ride on horseback."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements." Jiang Cheng nodded, and then said, "Maybe we can stop these slaves and thieves at the village and prevent them from escaping."
With that said, he turned around and walked out.
Shiheyi left two horses. Although they were not many, there was no problem in using them to convey messages. Moreover, the riders did not need to have such high demands on the cavalry. It was enough to know how to ride a horse.
Soon, a soldier left Shiheyi on horseback.
On the other side, after Hailancha led the people into the forest, he ran straight into the forest and ran for several miles. He stopped when he found that no one was chasing him, found a cleaner place and sat down.
Several slave soldiers came up.
"Hailancha, don't worry, no one is chasing us." A Jurchen who was close to Hailancha sat down next to him.
Hailancha nodded, stretched out his hand towards the other party, and asked: "Lamp, do you have any water? Your mouth is dry. Take out your water bag and I will drink some water."
"Where is the water? I didn't even bring a water bag when I came out of Jinzhou City." The Jurchen named Lamp shook his head with a wry smile.
Hearing this, Hai Lancha looked disappointed and said, "That's right. We escaped from Jinzhou City like lost dogs. How can we prepare food and drink?"
As he spoke, he wet his dry lips with his tongue and leaned against a tree trunk.
They were fighting and running for their lives, and they were running out of water and rice. The iron-clad man was also very tired.
Dozens of slaves fell to the ground in a mess, and some even gasped for air with their chests rising and falling.
"Hailancha, how did you know something happened at Shiheyi?" Lamp crossed his legs and looked at Hailancha.
I don’t understand why Hailancha concluded that there was something wrong with Shiheyi after just one glance at the Baihu named Qin.
"I don't know if something happened to Shiheyi." Hai Lancha shook his head slightly.
Lamp was stunned when he heard this.
However, Hailancha continued: "But after I met the Baihu named Qin, I had an indescribable feeling. I always felt that there was something wrong in Shiheyi."
"You are sure there is something wrong with Shiheyi just based on your feelings?" Lamp looked helpless.
After escaping from Jinzhou City, they were looking forward to eating something, taking a rest, and replenishing their strength at Shiheyi. However, Hai Lancha felt that there was something wrong with Shiheyi, so they had to crawl into the forest in embarrassment. hide.
Hai Lancha glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't believe it, my intuition has saved me several times on the battlefield."
"Everyone is so exhausted, and there is nothing in the stomach. Why don't we go back to Shiheyi and have a look. If Shiheyi is okay, we can also get something to eat to cushion our stomachs." Lamp did not answer directly. He didn't trust his intuition either inside or outside the words.
"Yeah, anyway, we are not far from Shiheyi. Maybe we can eat hot pancakes when we go back." A slave soldier said by the side.
As he spoke, he did not forget to lick his lips.
"No one is allowed to go, no one is allowed to go back." Hailancha glanced at the people in front of him and said, "The situation in Shiheyi is unknown, and I believe in my intuition that something must have happened in Shiheyi."
Rejected the proposal of his men to return to Shiheyi.
He trusted his intuition more than anyone else and concluded that something must have happened to Shiheyi. Going to Shiheyi at this time was like putting a sheep in the tiger's mouth.
Lamp said: "Everyone is thirsty and hungry. Even if we don't go to Shiheyi, we still have to get something to eat. There is still a long way to go from Xiaoheishan to Fuzhou. People who don't want to fill their stomachs don't need tiger thieves. Chasing, we can’t hold on ourselves.”
"You can't go to Shiheyi either. You can think of other ways to eat." Hai Lancha said.
At this time, someone on the side said: "There is a village not far from Shiheyi. The person in charge of the village is a Mou Ke. We can go to the village to get some food, and maybe borrow a few horses for the journey. .”
Lamp and the surrounding Jurchens looked at Hailancha.
However, Hailancha looked hesitant.
In his opinion, since there is a problem in Shiheyi Station, there is no guarantee that the surrounding villages will not also have problems. The risk was too great at this time.
He wanted to refuse, but he had already made the decision once. If he refused again, there was no guarantee that the people below would be alienated, leaving the refusal in his mouth unspoken.
"Everyone is really hungry and tired. If we continue like this, our bodies won't be able to bear it. Hailancha, otherwise let everyone go!" Lamp looked at Hailancha and said.
Hearing this, Hailancha wanted to refuse, but his stomach was also protesting. Not to mention other people, even he was feeling uncomfortable.
In the past few years of wealth, he no longer had the endurance for hunger and thirst that he had when chasing prey in the woods.
"Hai Lan Cha, we don't have to go get something to eat. If we don't eat something to replenish our strength, it will be difficult for us to get to Fuzhou. We might be overtaken by the tiger bandits' soldiers and horses on the way." Lan Pu looked at it. Chuhai Lancha was a little moved, so he immediately added fuel to the fire to get the other party to agree.
Hailancha hesitated for a moment and said: "You can go, but be careful. Follow my instructions in everything. If you find anything wrong, leave immediately. You must not stay."
"Don't worry, we will listen to you and will never disobey your orders." Lamp secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hailancha agreeing.
He was afraid that if Hailancha refused again, the people below him might fall out.
Although Hailancha has a more noble status than these people present, he is not the master of everyone after all. When things are contrary to each other, everyone has their own little thoughts.
