Chapter 93

Zhang Zhen was sitting in the carriage. His thin body fluctuated up and down with the turbulence of the carriage. The official road ahead is no longer flat, but becomes rugged and difficult to walk, leading to the constant bumps of the carriage.

Sitting in the carriage, Zhang Zhen felt that all his bones were about to fall apart.

In his early fifties, even though he was hale and hearty, he was also very sick on such a road. After a long time, the body can't bear it.

"Stop the car!"

Zhang gave a direct order.

"Woo!"

The coachman waved his whip and stopped.

Zhou Tai rode over and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Zhen lifted the curtain of the carriage door and came out. Standing on the shaft of the carriage, he rubbed his sore waist and said, "you Ping, the carriage is too bumpy. I can't stand it. Slow down. I'm walking. After walking through this bumpy section of road, you can take a carriage. "

Zhang's face also showed a trace of paleness.

Zhou Tai said: "your health is very important. It's really hard for you to take this journey."

Zhang Zhen stepped out of the carriage, and Zhou Tai rolled out of the carriage.

Team, and slowly continue to move forward.

Zhou Tai helped Zhou Tai and walked along, saying: "there are still twelve miles left on such a bumpy road. After going there, there will be a broad official road. At that time, you can go quickly. However, the twelve Li road is surrounded by mountains and forests, and five li ahead, in the mountains and forests, there is a valley. The terrain is quite narrow, but it is also a must pass place. "

"Have you explored it?" Zhang asked

Zhou Tai nodded and said, "we've explored. There's no ambush."

Zhang Zhen felt relieved when he heard the speech.

Let's go. Let's go.

In fact, five miles is not too long for ordinary people. But for Zhang Zhen, it took a longer time to walk on Wuli road.

The team arrived outside the valley at noon.

Zhou Tai looked at the soldiers around him and suggested, "Mr. Zhang, the sun is high in the middle of the day and the sun is very strong. Although the valley is shady, it's a little sultry because of the narrow terrain and the lack of ventilation. We'll take a break in the shade, have lunch, have a rest, and then we'll set out and go in one go. "

"Yes

Zhang was also a little out of breath and quite tired.

They stopped outside the valley to rest.

The soldiers immediately cooked and prepared to eat.

Zhang said: "after we left Xu county, we passed through the checkpoints of Runan and Yingchuan. At that time, Cao Jun, who was stationed there, let us stay for a day on the ground of encircling bandits. Into Runan County, the way to the last checkpoint, but also the other side to find a reason to delay our progress. In my opinion, Cao Cao is deliberately delaying our return journey. "

Zhou Tai clenched his fist and said, "the thief Cao can be punished for his heart!"

Zhang said: "but even if we understand, there is no way. In Cao Cao's territory, we can't have a conflict with Cao Jun, can we? At that time, it will be us who will be affected. "

Zhou Tai said, "what's Cao Cao's intention in doing this?"

Zhang Zheng said: "when celebrating the emperor's birthday, Liu Xiu presented the first emperor's sword tai'a sword. As a result, the emperor appointed Liu Xiu as the prefect of Yuzhang Prefecture. Perhaps, Cao Cao wants Pang Degong and Liu Xiu to return to Jingzhou first and let them make arrangements first. "

Zhou Tai's eyes narrowed and said, "what does Zhang Gong mean is that Cao Cao deliberately caused the conflict between Jingzhou and Jiangdong?"

"So it is

Zhang Zhen nodded and looked at Zhou Tai, slightly surprised.

I thought Zhou Tai was just a martial arts man. It seems that if I can follow Sun Quan, I don't know anything.

The two chatted about this mission. After dinner, they began to have a rest.

Half an hour is fleeting.

Zhang Zhen stretched himself, stood up and said, "you Ping, let's go. Keep going."

"Let's go, keep going."

Zhou Tai helped Zhang to get up, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, you don't think so. You ride on the horse, I lead the horse forward. The horse won't bump, and your body can bear it. "

Zhang Zhen shook his head and said: "riding on a horse, I can't bear it on my waist. Forget it. Take your time. "

When Zhou Tai heard of the speech, he had to take a team of people and horses to the valley.

When entering the valley, Zhou Tai ordered, "all of you should be alert." Although the situation of the valley has been investigated, Zhou Tai is still on guard.

In fact, in the territory of Runan, Cao Cao is also responsible for Zhang Dan's mistakes.

To some extent, Cao Cao wanted to protect Zhang Dan and others.

However, it is impossible for Cao Cao to send troops to protect him, and even if something happens, he can find a reason to shirk.

The length of the valley is about three li.

The terrain in the valley is narrow. The narrowest place is just enough for the next carriage to move forward. The road is very difficult.Zhou Tai helped Zhang to move forward carefully.

At this time, the advancing team is very long.

Right in the middle of the valley, above the valley, in dense woods and grass.

Clusters of grass, slightly shaking.

Under the grass, there were people in black.

The first one was Liu Xiu.

After Liu Xiu and Pang Degong left Xu county, Pang Degong continued to advance under the protection of wenpin. Liu Xiu left with Deng and 20 soldiers. Together, there are more than ten Rangers gathered by Deng Zhan.

These rangers are all people Deng Zhan knows.

Every one of them is brave and ruthless. They are good at boxing, swordsmanship and swordsmanship. Every one of them has a special skill. Everyone has a homicide case.

These people listen to Deng Zhan, but they are even more obedient when they see Liu Xiu.

Liu Xiu's reputation in Xu county can be described as thunderous.

The Rangers feel that they can follow Liu Xiu, and they are more willing to do so.

"Rustle!"

After a while, a soldier came to Liu Xiu's side and reported: "young master, the team of Zhou Tai and Zhang Dan has entered the valley. Wait a little longer and you'll be in the middle of the valley. Zhang's carriage was in the middle of the procession. "

Liu Xiu waved and said in a low voice, "continue to observe."

As the soldiers retreated, Liu Xiu fell on the top of the mountain, staring at the official road at the foot of the mountain.

The official road in the center of the valley is relatively wider and flatter.

This position is just suitable for pushing down big stones or shooting with bow and arrow. So, this is the place Liu Xiu chose.

"Wheel! Wheel

The sound of wheels turning came from the foot of the mountain.

A group of soldiers entered Liu Xiu's eyes.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, one by one Jiangdong soldiers in armor moved forward slowly. Among them, a carriage came slowly.

When Liu Xiu saw the carriage, he felt excited.

If you smash a cart from the top of the mountain, you can kill it. Seeing the carriage getting closer and closer to the place where the big stone fell, Liu Xiu's hand slowly raised.

"Let it go

Suddenly, Liu Xiu roared.

Boom!

With a loud noise, a huge stone on the mountain was pushed down the valley by the soldiers.

Boom!

The rocks rolled down, and the express delivery was very fast. In a flash, the whole stone fell to the bottom of the valley, and then hit the carriage which came slowly.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the carriage toppled over and was crushed to the ground by a big stone.

"Boom!"

At the same time, at the exit and entrance of the valley, there was a rumbling sound. A piece of rock, constantly rolling down, blocking the road in the valley.

"Whew! Whew

A bow and arrow, like the heavy rain.

Arrow like rain, shooting Jiangdong soldiers in the valley. Rao Shi's army of Jiangdong soldiers was very long, but when the dense rain of arrows continued, Jiangdong soldiers were immediately hit hard.

Bursts of shrill screams came from the valley.

Big rocks fall, bows and arrows rain.

For a time, Jiang Dong's soldiers were seriously injured and killed, and Zhou Tai was so nervous that he kept directing the soldiers to escape.
