041 Mantis catching cicadas

Shortly after Chen Rui came out, Huangfu Song's order came. Sun Jian had already discovered Sun Xia's traces, but there were many water and hills on the way to Lujiang County. Sun Jian's cavalry was restricted and needed a large number of infantry to round up Sun Xia's 1,000 people.

Taking advantage of this period of chatting, Zhao Fei also told Chen Dao about Zhang Yang, hoping that he could help.

Chen Dao has mastered martial arts and naturally wants to go into battle to kill the enemy. At this time, his sister Chen Rui stayed at Zhao Fei, which was very safe, so hesitated that his sister needed someone to take care of her.

After all, Zhao Fei's officers with higher ranks than him were assigned to the noble mansions. They would not come here. If they were lower than him, they would not dare to provoke him. If they were not an official army, they would not dare to provoke him. Chen Rui was very safe here.

Chen Rui heard the conversation between Zhao Fei and Chen Dao. She knew that her brother had always wanted to join the army to serve the court, and it was because she was dragging her down that she could not join the army.

"Brother, go. My sister is tired after being sick for so many days, so she wants to lie down and have a good sleep. It's useless to stay here. Why not just go and help Brother Zhao."

After hearing what his sister said, Chen Dao finally made up his mind. Zhao Fei, who was on the side, was full of joy. With the foundation for this first cooperation, it would be easier to do so later.

After saying goodbye to Chen Rui, Zhao Fei, Chen Dao and Bao Yan first went to put their soldiers out and pulled them to the school ground outside the city.

At this time, Huangfu Song was already dispatching tasks. The official army was divided into several troops, scattered into the hills, using thick smoke as signals to each other, and once the remnants of the Yellow Turban were found, they would send a signal.

Zhao Fei returned to Cao Cao's command, and he had already received a set of small soldiers' armor and spears, plus a two stone bow and twenty arrows for Chen Dao, so that he could stand behind him.

Since they were going to search the mountains, neither Zhao Fei nor Bao Yan rode a horse, and Zhao Fei did not carry a spear and chose the steel knife that he was more familiar with.

Cao Cao began to lead a team to Lujiang County to search for Yellow Turbans. The area needed to be searched is very large. The Yellow Turbans that escaped from Runan are all locals here, very familiar with the terrain and know where there is a secret cave path.

The official army is not very familiar with the terrain. Even if there are local soldiers, they must disperse the people and search for them one by one.

Cao Cao's subordinates had supplemented two thousand people, but he did not have many capable confidants. Zhao Fei temporarily became the army Sima, commanding 400 people, which was the smallest unit for searching.

Cao Cao brought more than a thousand people himself, Zhang Yang and Zhao Fei were divided into three troops and began to search.

Zhao Fei narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Yang who was leaving. He knew that Zhang Yang must have gone to find the Taiwei named Qiao.

The four hundred people assigned by his subordinates were not the same as Zhao Fei. He did not immediately follow him to alert the enemy, but instead gave Bao Yan a look.

It had already been discussed before coming. Bao Yan understood what Zhao Fei meant, nodded, and quietly disappeared from the crowd, following Zhang Yang's troops alone, leaving signals along the way.

Although Bao Yan is the chief of the village, his presence has always been low. His troops were also commanded by Zhao Fei on weekdays. At this time, he disappeared, and no soldiers noticed it.

This kind of thing about following colleagues is not easy to find out. Zhang Yang's 400 people have been in charge for a while, and they must have bribed them all.

Zhang Yang can take his soldiers to rob rich families. As long as the matter is done secretly and not to make a big deal, even if Cao Cao and Huangfu Song find out, he will turn a blind eye. After all, the court has never paid military salaries, and the money rewarded by Huangfu Song is just a drop in the bucket. If the soldiers are stopped from "making wealth" by themselves, then don't think about having morale to fight.

Zhao Fei's behavior of killing his colleagues must not be known. The conflicts in the army are very sharp and have been suppressed by military rules. If this matter is discovered, Huangfu Song must severely punish Zhao Fei. Otherwise, the military rules will be destroyed and there will be no binding force on the soldiers. They will kill each other, and there will be no need to fight.

Therefore, if Zhao Fei wants to kill Zhang Yang, he must look at the opportunity. There are only three people on his side, and there are four hundred people on Zhang Yang. Once he takes action, he cannot leave a living opportunity.

Zhao Fei deliberately took his men to the opposite direction of Zhang Yang. If he really had the chance to kill Zhang Yang, no one would suspect that he did it.

It was half an hour since he left. Zhao Fei thought it was almost done, so he asked someone to search the surroundings and not let them go.

Zhao Fei avoided the soldiers' eyes and walked towards Zhang Yang with Chen Da. When his soldiers saw that the commander was gone, they thought they were looking for a place to rest, so they didn't search them carefully. They began to gather together to chat and brag.

Zhao Fei found a place to rest. Even if Cao Cao found out, he was just passive and lazy. At most, he just won the position of Sima, the military, who had just won, was not a big deal.

Zhao Fei followed the marks left by Bao Yan on both sides, and walked quickly with Chen Dao.

When Zhao Fei hurriedly met with Bao Yan, he realized that Zhang Yang had not started robbing as he had imagined. He also asked his soldiers to search for the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, looking very loyal.

Could it be that I heard it wrong? It is impossible. It should be that Zhang Yang’s confidant has not sent the news yet.

Zhao Fei suppressed his thoughts and waited patiently, but when the sun rose into the air, Zhang Yang was still constantly directing his soldiers to search without any other movements.

Zhao Fei was depressed and ran over excitedly, wanting the hero to save the United States and solve his enemies, but he didn't expect that he would be happy.

In fact, Zhao Fei himself didn't think much about it. The remnants of the Yellow Turbans have not been cleaned up yet, so how dare the ordinary people who are going to Lujiang leave?

Qiao Xuan had served as the Grand Marshal, and his courage was naturally more courageous than ordinary people. He also knew more about the news. He knew that the official army had sent a large number of troops to search the hills, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were about to be destroyed, so there would not be too much danger.

So at this time Qiao Xuan was about to set off, avoid the main road, bypass the hills, and go to Lujiang Wancheng from the small road outside the mountain. After all, now that the official army is at the border, not only are the Yellow Turban bandits suffering, but the bandits and bandits are hidden and dare not come out. At this time, it will be much easier for him to go from Runan to Lujiang.

As soon as Qiao Xuan moved, Zhang Yang received the news from his confidants and immediately began to gather his soldiers.

At this time, Zhao Fei was feeling his face was dull. Although Chen Dao had no impatient expression on his face, he had swear to say that the government army was doing bandits before, which motivated Chen Dao. Now Zhang Yang is a good person again, which inevitably gives people the feeling of talking nonsense.

Zhao Fei was planning to give up and go back, but when he saw Zhang Yang making any noise, he immediately patted Chen Dao's shoulder in surprise.

"Now you gather your soldiers and you must go to rob the rich merchants. Brother Uncle Zhi, you will follow you."

Chen Dao nodded. He had been hunting for many years and had excellent martial arts skills. He would not be discovered when he followed Zhang Yang's more than 400 soldiers at close range. As long as there were signals along the way, Zhao Fei and Bao Yan would follow him slowly behind him.

After all, Zhang Yang is doing illegal things. Huangfu Song turned a blind eye to such things, but the premise is that he cannot make a big deal.

Zhang Yang also knew that the target had been a Grand Marshal, so the news must not be leaked. The four hundred soldiers under him fought with him, not afraid that they would tell him, but they must be careful around them and must not let others see it.

This is also the reason why Zhao Fei and Bao Yan did not keep up. They are not like Chen Dao, they are good at following prey. If they follow too close, they will definitely be discovered by Zhang Yang's soldiers.

Zhang Yang walked out of the mountain and was about to intercept Qiao Xuan halfway on the path outside the mountain.

The war has been going on these days, and no pedestrians dare to pass by whether it is a big road or a small road. Therefore, Zhang Yang was not worried that the news would leak. But he didn't know that there were no people outside, but there were people in the army.

After walking for almost an hour, he finally walked out of the coniferous mountain and came to the side of the road. At this time, a very thin official soldier led his horse and stopped by the roadside.

"Skinny Monkey, that old guy is walking on this road," Zhang Yang took the reins from the soldier's hand, inserted the small bundle of wolf smoke from his waist into the saddle, and asked.

"General, I, Skinny Monkey, do your business. Don't worry, the bald big cat and the others are following the old guy. You can't make a mistake," said the thin soldier nicknamed Skinny Monkey with a smile.

"Well, that's good. This matter is done, and you will not lose any credit. Go to the mountain and wait and lead the horse into the woods to hide it," Zhang Yang said lightly.

Qiao Xuan is actually very innocent. He has many possessions and is dragging a long convoy, but most of them are classical books, and there is really not much money.

Of course, these books can also be exchanged for classical money and are very expensive. Qiao Xuan was reluctant to sell them when he was in Luoyang in exchange for light money. After all, many of the books are difficult to buy outside of Kyoto Luoyang.

As a result, such a long convoy was created, which made the thieves along the way red in their eyes.

Because there are many carriages, Qiao Xuan himself is older and is worried that the speed will cause the books and bamboo slips to fall apart, so he ordered his servants to slow down the speed as much as possible.

This made Zhang Yang and Zhao Fei and the others suffer. They waited around and waited for more than an hour before they saw Qiao Xuan's convoy from afar on the top of the mountain.

Zhang Yang cursed in secret, saying, "I have never seen a slow road trip. The sun will set in another hour, how many more roads can I catch."

Zhang Yang didn't understand the thoughts of literati like Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan had been struggling for most of his life. In his later years, he couldn't stand the court's atmosphere and resigned. He suddenly felt relaxed and had no other trivial matters. No matter how slow he was along the way, he could see more scenery. Maybe he was excited about poetry and could recite a poem.

Zhang Yang began to dispatch soldiers and was preparing to encircle him, so he could not let anyone go.

The soldiers under his command were very skillful in finding their assigned tasks, and they did this again and again, from Wancheng to Anyang County, and later paused in Anyang County for more than ten days to wait for the arrival of Yuan Shu's army. Zhang Yang had already led them to rob many wealthy households and businessmen.

Chen Dao's eyes were blazing when he looked behind. Although he knew that there was no need for Zhao Fei to lie to him, when he really saw that there was an official army that would rob the rich, his anger was still uncontrollable.

Zhao Fei frowned and looked at the surrounding terrain. It was a bit difficult to kill all the 400 soldiers under Zhang Yang. After all, there were only three people, and they could not stop them from escaping.

It seems that giving Chen Dao a pair of bows and arrows is right. If there is really no way, Chen Dao will shoot Zhang Yang to death in the dark.

But Chen Dao is not Huang Zhong after all, he is good at shooting skills. Although this archery technique is good, it has not reached the point of hitting a hundred shots and passing through Yang in a hundred steps. Moreover, since Zhang Yang became the Sima of the Army and Cao Cao gave him the Qi-raising technique, he began to inspire the general star system. The force has broken through the limit of the soldiers and reached 65 points of force, and his internal strength has reached twenty points. He is no longer a soldier, but a general.

Chen Dazhao can guarantee that he can hit every shot, but Zhang Yang, who can shoot at a maximum of 85 points, is not Huang Zhong, and does not have a general skill that matches archery skills and cannot guarantee the hit rate.
