Chapter 0061 The Escaped Qu Shuai
Zhao Yun wanted to return to the military camp to accommodate the cavalry who had just arrived in Sheguo County, and Xun Yu was also in a hurry to check the captured ordinary Yellow Turban Army. Han Zhan stood up and sent the two out of the county government.
As soon as he approached the county government gate, Xun Yu, who was walking in front, suddenly exclaimed, quickened his pace and rushed out of the gate. Han Zhan and Zhao Yun, who were walking behind him, thought that something had happened, so they hurriedly followed.
After walking out of the gate, Han Zhan saw Xun Yu standing in front of the horse-tie stake, carefully looking at a horse-white horse that was all white and had no variegated colors. Han Zhan recognized that it was the Zhaoye Yu lion riding by Zhao Yun, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, what do you think of this horse?"
"Zhan'er, come and see it quickly." Xun Yu waved to Han Zhan and said to him: "This horse's ears are like bamboo sticks, their eyes are like hanging bells, and their snow training is like white, and there is no miscellaneous hair on its body. It is a head to the tail, one zhang long, and its hooves are eight feet high. It is a magical horse that can travel thousands of miles a day, and it is definitely not inferior to Lu Bu's red rabbit."
Seeing that Xun Yu was so obsessed with this horse, Zhao Yun walked over and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Chief Xun County Master actually knew the art of horse racing."
"I understand a little, understand a little!" After Xun Yu said this, he suddenly realized that this horse might be Zhao Yun's mount, and asked curiously: "Dare you ask the county magistrate, is this horse your mount?"
"Mr. Xun is right, it is Yun's mount." Zhao Yun explained: "This is an old friend of my brother. He came from outside the Great Wall a few months ago. It is said that it was produced in the Western Regions and can travel thousands of miles a day."
"What I said is not false," Xun Yu and Zhao Yun finished speaking, nodded and said, "This horse is the best among the best, but it is violent and not something that ordinary people can control. It must have taken a lot of trouble to tame this horse, right?"
"Mr. Xun County Master Xun didn't know that since his brother got this horse, he carefully fed it with high-quality grass every day, but for some reason he couldn't get fat and looked extremely thin." When talking about the Zhaoye Jade Lion in front of him, Zhao Yun and Xun Yu seemed to have a lot of common words: "When Yun followed his brother to the stable to pick a good horse, he accidentally appeared this horse. When the horse saw Yun, he immediately slapped his neck's mane, his eyes widened, and looked like he saw the former master. Seeing that he had a fate with this horse, Yun took back the post station and became like this after feeding it for only half a month."
After hearing this, Xun Yu smiled slightly, twisted his beard with one hand and stroked the short hair of Zhaoye Yu lion's silky smooth hair with the other hand, and asked tentatively: "Minister Zhao, I wonder if I can let this official ride a trial?"
Zhao Yun nodded, walked to Zhaoye Yu Lion, leaned close to its ear and said a few words in a low voice, bent down and untied the reins tied to the horse stake, and handed them to Xun Yu: "Mr. Xun, please!"
Xun Yu took advantage of the horse-mounting stone next to him and gently shook the reins. Zhao Ye Yu Lion slowly ran along the spacious street in front of the county government. Seeing Xun Yu sitting steadily on the horse, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect Xun County Magistrate to ride so well."
Zhao Yun said casually, but Han Zhan began to think about a very important thing: stirrups and horseshoes were needed in the Three Kingdoms era. In order to strengthen his cavalry strength, is it necessary to let these two things be released in advance?
After running back and forth on the street for several times, Xun Yu stopped at the county government office, turned over and dismounted the horse, and slapped the horse's back with his hand, and said unsatisfiedly: "Good horse, Zhao County Magistrate, this is really a good horse!"
Seeing Xun Yu love this Zhaoye Jade Lion so much, Zhao Yun hesitated for a moment, then bowed and said, "Since County Magistrate Xun likes this horse so much, Yun is willing to give this horse to the County Magistrate."
When Han Zhan heard that Zhao Yun was willing to transfer this horse to Xun Yu, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, thinking that the reason why Zhao Yun could kill seven in seven out of Changbanpo, or even fall into a trap, was not only because of his high martial arts skills, but also because of his high martial arts lion. If he gave this horse to Xun Yu and only rode an ordinary war horse, let alone leaving behind a reputation that has been praised for generations, it would be an unknown whether he could save his life.
Zhao Yun's generosity not only surprised Han Zheng, but also Xun Yu was also surprised. He did not expect such a precious BMW. Zhao Yun said he would give it to someone. He looked at Zhao Yun and looked at the jade lion of the night, as if he was a little undecided. But after the inspiring ideological struggle, Xun Yu shook his head and said firmly: "Thank you for the good intentions of Zhao County Magistrate, but Yu dare not accept it. If the general has this horse, it will be like a tiger adding wings when charging into battle. Yu is just a literati who cannot carry swords and guns and cannot go to the battlefield. If the county magistrate gives me this horse, it would be a waste of natural resources. Inappropriate, inappropriate!"
Seeing Xun Yu rejecting Zhao Yun's request, Han Zhan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Zhao Yun would give him another horse gift, so he quickly said, "Prince Zhao, aren't you going to the military camp with my uncle? It's getting late, so you can set off immediately."
Xun Yu looked at Zhao Ye Yu Lion reluctantly and said with a hard heart: "That's right, Zhao County Magistrate, it's getting late, let's go to the military camp now." After that, he walked towards the carriage parked beside him without looking back.
...
The Yellow Turban Army's name is Lan Erqi. At this moment, Qu Shuai was riding a red horse and walking on the rugged mountain road. Four horses followed behind him were sitting on four leaders wrapped in yellow Turbans with a frustrated expression.
Lan Erqi was originally a personal soldier under General Zhang Liang. After Guangzong died in battle, Zhang Liang escaped by chance and hid in Taihang Mountains. He summoned a group of fish that had escaped from the net to occupy the mountain and become kings, and made a living by robbing the family and robbing the road.
In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), the remaining Yellow Turbans rebelled again. Lan Erqi, who was in the deep mountains, did not get the news of the rebellion of the Yellow Turbans in time because of the news. When he got the news and left Taihang Mountain with his troops, the Yellow Turbans had been suppressed by the court again, but he took the opportunity to recruit more than 2,000 remaining Yellow Turbans rebellion.
He knew that if he wanted to fight against hundreds of thousands of troops from the court just by relying on the thousands of Yellow Turban troops in his hands, he would hit stones with eggs. Therefore, in the past three years, he had just robbed nearby villages to replenish soldiers and supplies, or led troops to those weak defense counties to extort money and grain, and the Sheguo County was one of them.
He clearly remembered that last month when he brought three thousand Yellow Turban Army to Sheguo County to collect money and grain, the county magistrate and county magistrate in the city were brave and brought five hundred county soldiers out of the city to fight. After a fierce battle, less than a hundred county soldiers left the city to fight, and even the county magistrate and county magistrate were killed in battle.
He was originally planning to lead his troops to attack the county town, but Hua Hu, the chief clerk of the county, sent someone to talk about the peace and willing to pay 10,000 hu of grain to retreat. At that time, it happened that the village was short of food, so he took the batch of food and grass and returned to the village with his men.
After a month, the spy reported that Sheguo County had changed a new county magistrate and was still repairing the city wall with great fanfare. When Lan Erqi heard this, he knew that it was to prevent him. He decided to take the initiative and lead troops to loot the city before the repair of Sheguo County's city wall was completed.
Unexpectedly, I was still on the way and the city was in a precaution. Before the formal siege was launched on the first day, I was attacked by a group of officers and soldiers of unknown origin, which forced me to temporarily withdraw my troops and slept in the nearby valley for a whole night.
The next day, he regrouped and attacked the city again. Seeing that the city was in sight, another cavalry of officers and soldiers rushed over from behind. Fortunately, he was smart and saw that the situation was not good, so he fled with a few close friends. Otherwise, his head might have been hanging on the city of Sheguo County at this moment.
The leader closest to Lan Erqi was left with a big bald head, known as Lan Bazi, and was Lan Erqi's far-reaching cousin. He looked at several listless companions around him, and hurriedly urged him to go forward and go parallel with Lan Erqi, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, where are we going next?"
