Chapter 492
The poem's shadows set off fire and cooked food.
After the hot food was eaten, everyone was excited and they accumulated the strength to continue fighting - to escape.
Next to the fire, Shicaiying used dead branches and weeds to hold up a few clothes, and tied two basically ran away war horses to the side. When the war horses walked uneasy, they would leave shaking shadows. It was difficult to tell whether it was a human or something in the distance, but only knew that there were living things here. Even if someone approached to reconnaissance, they had to walk closer to discover the truth.
After the arrangement was made, Cao Miao asked Ah Hu to protect Xuanqi first, with a total of four horses, with all the supplies. The terrain of the mountain is not complicated, there are not many forks, so be careful, and you will basically not get separated.
Cao Miao instructed Ah Hu that if he met a single Xianbei person, it would be best to capture two prisoners. If the other party has a large number of people, don’t force him or her, and it’s okay to retreat.
Ah Hu agreed and followed Xuanqi and moved forward along the valley.
Shi Caiying was with Cao Miaofu and didn't speak for a long time.
Cao Miao ignored her and asked Shi Caiying to wait in place. She sneaked forward quietly, found a place ten steps away, and hid it.
Not long after, seven or eight Xianbei people came over. They heard the sound of horse hooves, suspected that Cao Miao and others were bluffing and took the opportunity to escape. When they arrived at the entrance of the valley, most of them looked for a place to cover them, and the two of them carefully entered the valley. In the previous battle, they had been blocked by Cao Miao and Ah Hu, and several were injured.
Cao Miao remained motionless and watched the two Xianbei people pass by and walk to Shi Caiying.
Shi Caiying seized the opportunity, stormed up with a gun, and pierced a Xianbei man in the chest with one shot. Another Xianbei man was shocked and turned around and ran away. Cao Miao took the opportunity to shoot out the gun and pierced the throat with one shot.
The Xianbei people rushed forward and rolled down the hillside. His companions hid in the dark and did not dare to move. After a while, seeing that no one was chasing him, they rolled and crawled back and watched from a distance.
Cao Miao waited for a while, called Shi Caiying, turned over the horse, and galloped along the valley.
The Xianbei people heard the sound of horse hooves, but they did not dare to chase after them immediately, for fear that they would fall into the trap again like they had just now.
The poem is in front and Cao Miao is behind. He is rushing all the way. He ran for more than ten miles and caught up with Ahu and Xuanqi at the northern end of the valley.
Ah Hu captured a prisoner, a young Xianbei man, and a corpse was hidden beside him.
As soon as he saw the shadow of the poem, the Xianbei prisoners trembled and even their lips lost their blood.
Cao Miao saw it clearly and asked Shi Caiying quietly. "Do you know him?"
Shi Caiying looked at it for a moment and shook her head to show that she had no impression.
Cao Miao didn't say much, and pulled a short knife, grabbed the Xianbei prisoner's ear, raised the knife and fell, and a bloody ear was cut off. The Xianbei prisoner was caught off guard and screamed in pain, dripping blood.
Cao Miao swayed in front of him, "Can you understand Chinese?"
The Xianbei prisoner screamed, but there was no Chinese. Cao Miao gave Shicaiying a wink and asked her to translate. "If he knew you? If he was not honest, he would cut another ear, then cut his nose, poke his eyes until he removed the parts of his body one by one."
Shi Caiying's scalp was numb, but she didn't dare to say much, and she stammered in translation.
The Xianbei prisoners were frightened by Cao Miao's ruthlessness, and they almost did not hesitate and explained them all.
They were arranged by Yu Zhujian, with a total of hundreds of cavalry, and the centurion was Poli. They wanted to take advantage of the dusk and take it down in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Cao Miao fought back and lost many people and missed the best opportunity. Poli did not dare to attack forcefully, nor did he give up. Seeing them going up the mountain, he decided to go to the nearby place to call people. According to the distance, he should be able to arrive around dawn.
This Xianbei prisoner was just an ordinary knight and was not aware of other news. However, he mentioned one thing: half a year ago, some Han people came to see Yu Zhujian. Since then, Yu Zhujian and the Yan family have often quarreled and even used swords.
"What does the Han people look like? Are they tall? Do they have beards?"
After listening to Shi Caiying's translation, the Xianbei prisoner's eyes straightened and nodded vigorously. "High, very tall, bearded, but his voice was a little sharp, like a castrator. Some people say that his beard was fake and fell off as soon as he touched it."
Cao Miao and Shi Caiying exchanged glances and knew who it was.
Sure enough, the Sima surnamed was uneasy.
Shi Caiying examined it again, asked the captain's name, took his waist card, then stuffed his mouth with a ball of dead grass, and threw him on the side of the road.
It was getting late, and Cao Miao and others took advantage of the moonlight and ran towards Danshang Mountain without hesitation.
——
Poli dismounted and kicked his subordinate who was almost frozen to death.
When he learned that his subordinates had already told him that Cao Miao and his group escaped before the reinforcements arrived, Poli had a headache. He was worried that the ambush would have wasted too much time in the valley. Even if he chased him, he might not be able to catch up.
What was originally a simple task has now become a problem.
He dared not go to Danhan Mountain. It was Kebineng's pasture, and even Yu Zhujian himself had to swallow his anger. The Yan family, who had a bad temper, would become even more arrogant when they returned to Danhan Mountain. Even Yu Jian himself might not be able to protect him if he got angry, and it would be even more impossible for him to protect him.
Poli thought about it and decided to go back first, find a place to get up, and send someone to send messages to Yu Zhujian. If Yu Zhujian wants to kill him, he has to escape to another tribe first.
Surviving is the key.
Maybe you can go to join that Han man? An idea flashed through Poli's mind and was rejected again.
That Han man was an eggless eunuch, and he couldn't bear it.
I heard that the newly appointed governor of Youzhou was going to fight against Liaodong, so it would be better to vote for him and be a righteous follower. The man is said to be a confidant of the Emperor of Wei. If he follows him, he will definitely not be wrong in the future.
Poli had made up his mind, and he did not have the enthusiasm to pursue Cao Miao and others. He had to clean up and then withdrew.
——
Cao Miao didn't know that Poli had retreated. In order to survive, he did not dare to stop and ran. He fell three horses one after another. The remaining horses were sweating and trembling, and he could fall at any time.
If the horse is like this, the person will not be much better. He has not slept for a night and has been running wildly, his thighs are worn out, and his waist is almost broken, and he wants to lie down immediately.
In front of a fork, Cao Miao left only one horse for Shi Caiying, let go of the rest of the horses that were about to die, and then walked away from the other road.
Shi Caiying rode her horse to Danhan Mountain and met her senior sister.
Cao Miao and others found a place to get up, eat and take a rest. He was worried that Poli would chase him down and dared not sleep all of them. He took turns with Ahu and Xuanqi to keep awake alone.
Cao Miao was on duty first. This half hour was the most difficult half hour in his life, and every second was so long.
Fortunately, there is nothing.
At noon the next day, Cao Miao saw Shi Caiying's senior sister, Ahu's biological mother, a woman who was similar to Shi Caiying, but had much harder eyebrows and eyes.
