Chapter 15 Three Hundred Elite Soldiers

After the black-faced man knelt down at A Dou, the few people behind him also knelt in front of A Dou one after another, which surprised A Dou.

When these people called them "Young Master", it seems that they had no malice. Could it be that Liu Bei took the photo to find him?

Then Adou immediately denied this idea. The distance from Chengdu to Runan was not close, and the territory of Cao Cao and Sun Quan was still in the middle. If he had calculated correctly, the news that Guan Yu was rescued was not long after he arrived in Chengdu. Liu Bei sent someone to find him now, and it was absolutely not too late in terms of time.

At this time, the black-faced man said, "Young Master, my name is Jin Mo. You must not know me, but your father must have heard of it. Your father is Jin Yi, and your ancestor is Jin Xuan, the prefect of Wuling."

Jin Xuan, whom Adou had heard of, was originally the prefect of Wuling under Liu Biao. Later, Cao Cao entered Jingzhou, and Jin Xuan surrendered to Cao Cao. However, later Zhang Fei attacked Wuling, and Jin Xuan was killed by Gong Zhi, who was engaged in the role of Gong Zhi.

Jin Yi was the son of Jin Xuan and was an official in Xudu. During the 21st year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was in stalemate with Liu Bei in Hanzhong. Jin Yi contacted Geng Ji, Shizhi Wei Huang, the sons of the imperial physician Jimeng Jimeng, Ji Mu, and Ji Mu, who plotted to gather thousands of people to murder the chief of the governor of the Imperial Guard, and seized his military power to support Emperor Xian. However, Wang Bi discovered that Wang Bi fled to Cao Xiu's house. As a result, the rebellion of these five people was suppressed by Xiahou Dun and others. All five people were killed.

Thinking of this, Adou became puzzled. Jin Yi should have been killed in the five clans, so why do there still have descendants?

At this time, Jin Mo said: "Young Master, my mother was my father's concubine. Before my father rebelled, I sent me out of Xudu, so I escaped."

Then, Jin Mo introduced the people around him to Adou.

This Jin Mo is indeed Jin Yi's son. Before Jin Yi rebelled against Cao Cao, he sent Jin Mo out of Xu Du and left the only incense for the Jin family.

Because Jin Mo was born by a concubine, he was not valued by his family since he was a child. Because Jin Mo was so handsome, everyone in the family called him Xiao Hei. It was precisely because Jin Mo was not valued by others at home since he was a child, so when Cao Cao killed the five tribes of the Jin family, he did not pay attention to the lack of Jin Mo.

The tall man next to Jin Mo was named Xiang Fei, who was the leader of the village in Fengtou Mountain. Xiang Fei was originally from Bingzhou. When he was a child, he was stolen by the Huns and became a slave to the Huns. Later, he went through a lot of hardships to escape and met Jin Mo, and the two became close friends. Later, Jin Yi failed and Jin Mo escaped from Xudu, so he came to Fengtou Mountain to surrender to Xiang Fei.

As for the man who used an axe, he was originally a robber on Fengtou Mountain. His surname was Niu and his nickname was Dameng. However, because he violated the rules of the village, he was expelled from Fengtou Mountain, so he pulled a group of people outside and became the mountain king.

"Young Master, please get on the horse first. I heard that Cao Pi has sent someone to hunt down the young master. You should hide with us for a while." Jin Mo led a horse and said.

Of course, A Dou would not believe Jin Mo just because of his words. However, A Dou was very skilled and brave, and was not afraid of Jin Mo's conspiracy, so he took the opportunity to get on the horse.

Several people walked towards Fengtou Mountain. Adou sat on the horse, and Jin Mo explained to Adou, "Young Master, I know you must still have some doubts about us, but our mission this time is to escort the Youth back to Shuzhong."

"How did you find me?" A Dou asked.

"We received news from Mr. Qiu that the young master should be in Runan now, so we notified all the people to look for the young master." Jin Mo answered.

Xiang Fei next to him added: "Young Master, don't underestimate my Fengtou Mountain. My Fengtou Mountain Village is one of the largest mountain villages in Runan. At least in this Runan, you can ensure that your son is safe!"

"Mr. Qiu? Fengtou Mountain?" A Dou was stunned. Fengtou Mountain knew it was the robber king at first hearing, but who was Mr. Qiu? He had never heard of Mr. Qiu. So A Dou asked, "Who is Mr. Qiu?"

Jin Mo shook his head: "I have never seen Mr. Qiu, but Mr. Qiu should be in Xudu. When his father was uprising, Mr. Qiu helped plan. After I escaped from Xudu, Mr. Qiu's men found me with the tokens left by his father. A few days ago, Wei Feng wanted to rebel against Cao, so he transported a batch of weapons from Jingzhou. Mr. Qiu asked us to wait for him to support him in Runan."

Jin Mo said, taking out half a wax ball from his arms, then took out a silk cloth from the wax ball, handed it to Adou, and then said, "Young Master, this is the letter sent by Mr. Qiu, let us find the young master, ensure that the young master is thorough, and try to send the young master back to Shuzhong."

A Dou took the silk cloth and saw small words written on it, which meant that Liu Bei's son Liu Chan is now in Runan, asking Jin Mo to find Liu Chan to help him and protect him. If there is a suitable opportunity, it is best to send A Dou back to Shu. At the same time, it is also said that Cao Pi sent Xiahou Ba and Xiahou Shang to Runan to hunt A Dou.

Adou put down the silk cloth and licked his lips. If what Jin Mo said was true, it would explain a problem, that is, there was a senior spy installed by Liu Bei in Xudu, and the position of this senior spy was probably not low. The rebellion of Xudu and Geng Ji and the later rebellion of Wei Feng in Yecheng were closely related to this senior spy. I am afraid that there were still many sabotage operations that were not revealed to the public in secret, and were planned by this senior spy.

The ability to obtain information as quickly as possible means that this person has a good position. Judging from the contact information between this person and Jin Mo, he completely adopted a single-line contact method. In this way, even if Cao Pi found out, there was no way to check it. Needless to say, the name "Mr. Qiu" is also fake.

Just this time, A Dou suddenly felt a slight tremor of earth tremor. A Dou carried his internal strength to his nose, and there was a faint smell of fishy smell of livestock in the air. A Dou frowned. This should be the effect of a large number of cavalrymen. A Dou's first reaction was that there was a trap in front, and Jin Mo and Xiang Fei were probably going to deliberately lead him over.

Adou looked at both sides. Jin Mo, Xiang Fei and others had not noticed it yet. Adou smiled slightly. If Jin Mo and the others wanted to lead him over, then they naturally had to pretend that it was okay. Similarly, if they didn't find it, it would be normal. The group of cavalry should be far away from him, and it would be impossible for ordinary people with martial arts to discover it at this distance.

Invisibly, Adou pressed his hand on the sword, and at the same time he secretly pulled the horse's reins and prepared for the battle. Once Jin Mo and others were going to be detrimental to him, then take action immediately.

Not long after, Xiang Fei suddenly waved his hand, grabbed the horse's reins, and shouted: "Stop first, there is something wrong!"

Everyone stopped immediately, but Xiang Fei got off the horse and put his ear on the ground. After a while, Xiang Fei stood up and said, "There are a large number of cavalrymen in front of them, no less than 800 people. The sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground is very heavy. Only the tiger and leopard cavalry in the Cao army can do this. I think it may be Xiahou Ba!"

"It's coming so fast!" Jin Mo shouted softly, then explained to Adou: "Young master, Brother Xiang grew up in the Huns since he was a child. He has excellent riding skills and knows horses very well. When Brother Xiang was in the Huns, he learned a lot of skills and could tell how many people he came from the ground!"

Adou nodded. This ability is indeed very special, but it works well on the grassland. The grassland is endless and has a wide range of sight. Moreover, the Huns are all cavalry. If they wait until their eyes see the enemy and run away, it will definitely be too late. Therefore, many times, the Huns will rely on the smell of livestock in the air and lying on the ground to listen to the sounds to judge the number of enemies.

Xiang Fei stood up, Fei was on the horse, and said to Adou: "Young Master, Xiahou Ba has arrived. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. I know a small path that can circumvent Fengtou Mountain. Let's go quickly!"

After Xiang Fei finished speaking, he turned his horse and left, and A Dou and others followed closely. At this time, A Dou also understood in his heart that Jin Mo was not Cao Cao's person, otherwise they would have pretended not to know how to guide themselves ahead. It seemed that what Jin Mo said was 80% credible.

Although Jin Mo and others also rode horses, how could the horses of Jin Mo and other bandits be compared with those of tigers and leopards? Now the three main horse-producing places of Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou are all in the hands of Cao Cao, so Cao Cao does not lack war horses. Gradually, A Dou can see the dust brought by the tigers and leopards on the horizon.

However, Xiang Fei was very familiar with the terrain of Runan. He saw Xiang Fei flashing and breaking into the woods. Then, a path appeared in front of everyone, and Xiang Fei led everyone to run along the path.

Xiahou Shang looked at several cavalrymen from afar and frowned, and asked Xiahou Ba next to him: "Zhongquan, have you seen several cavalrymen just now entering the woods?"

Xiahou Ba nodded: "Brother, I have seen it too. This must be the bandits in Runan. Now we are still chasing Liu Chan. Don't worry about these small bandits. Then the four brothers of the Wang family have passed by for a day, so we have to work harder!"

Xiahou Shang was the son of Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Ba was the second son of Xiahou Yuan. The two grew up together, but Xiahou Shang was two years older than Xiahou Ba, so Xiahou Ba usually called Xiahou Shang the elder brother.

Eight hundred tigers and leopards flew past like lightning, and soon rushed through the woods.

A Dou and others ran for a while, and found that Xiahou Ba did not chase after him, and then slowed down.

Xiang Fei dismounted again and listened to the ground, and found that Xiahou Ba had gradually gone away. Then he said to Adou: "Young Master, it may be farther from this road to Fengtou Mountain, but not many people know about this path. I think Xiahou Ba will never chase him here!"

Speaking of this, Xiang Fei got on his horse again, pointed ahead, and said, "Young Master, there are some small roads ahead, and the roads are a bit difficult. Please take care of it more. After passing this section of the road, it will be much better."

Although Adou is Liu Bei's son, he is not the kind of young man who is spoiled to keep clothes and gets his hands and eats. Therefore, he doesn't think that the road is harder to walk, so he doesn't think it's much.

After getting on the horse, the few people continued to walk forward. The road ahead was indeed a lot of bumpy. From time to time, there were protruding stones or small pits. There were yellow weeds and trees on the side of the road. Looking forward from afar, there were dead grass more than half a person tall everywhere. Walking on such a road, the horse's speed also slowed down a lot.

"Dong... 告..." At this moment, the sound of gongs sounded, and then more than 30 people rushed out of the grass. These people were all dressed in rags, with patches on their clothes, with sickles, hoes, wooden sticks, and stones. Only three or four people in the lead were holding rust knives. More than thirty people rushed up in a swarm, surrounding A Dou and others in the middle.

"You keep all the valuable things! And that horse, let me keep it!" A unshaven man in the lead jumped out and said.

A minion next to him immediately interrupted and said, "Boss, this horse eats more than me. We can't afford to raise so many horses!"

"You idiot!" The robber leader slapped his minions fiercely and cursed: "Who said we want to raise horses! Such a big horse, we have been eating meat for several days. Anyway, my brothers have not eaten meat for half a year!"

"It's not just that I didn't eat meat, I almost had nothing to eat..." The minion who was beaten next to me muttered in a low voice.

Immediately, Xiang Fei and others saw that the gang of robbers actually grabbed him and burst into laughter. When the unshaven robber leader saw the person on the horse laughing, he was obviously laughing at him. He immediately said angrily: "You guys dare to laugh, I will kill you again!"

At this time, the Niu Dameng walked out carelessly, came to the front, then pulled out his two big axes from behind, got off the horse, and danced himself without saying a word.

Niu Dameng finished dancing with the axe and said, "Did you see what is in grandpa's hand?"

"Nonsense, of course it's an axe!" replied the unshaven robber.

"Since you see grandpa's axe, don't you know who grandpa is?" Niu Dameng said in an inward voice.

The unshaven man lowered his head and thought for a while, suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed: "You are the boss of Niu in the Tiger Village!"

"Hahaha, it's not really good, I actually recognize me! But I'm not the leader of the Tiger Village now! I'm back to Fengtou Mountain!" Niu Dameng said here, thrusting his chest, pointing at Fei, and speaking, "Did you see it? That's the leader of our Fengtou Mountain!"

"Fengtou Mountain..." Beads of sweat fell from the robber's head. In the robber world in Runan, no one didn't know about Fengtou Mountain.

The robbers knelt down and said with a sad face: "Master of the Great Village, please spare me. I don't know if it's the Great Village."

Xiang Fei snorted coldly and said, "I'll spare you this time, get out of here!"

As soon as Xiang Fei finished speaking, the gang of robbers ran as fast as they ran, and disappeared into the bushes.

Seeing the bandits running away instantly, Adou asked, "It seems that your Fengtou Mountain is still very famous here."

"Young Master, you don't know that our Fengtou Mountain is not very famous in Runan!" Niu Dameng said happily: "In our Runan, there are more than a hundred robbers, and there are countless robbers with dozens of people. However, in Runan, the most powerful robbers are three mountains, four villages and nine slopes. Among them, the three mountains are the strongest, and our Fengtou Mountain is one of the three mountains!"

A Dou nodded. The Green Forest in the previous life also ranked this bandit nest. A Dou knew this very well when he walked around the world. A Dou remembered that in his previous life, the largest thief nests were thousands or even tens of thousands. Now Fengtou Mountain can rank in the top three in Runan, and the number of people should be quite large. Niu Dameng could easily pull out more than a thousand people. It seems that Fengtou Mountain must have a scale of ten thousand people at least, which is a huge force.

Thinking of this, Adou asked, "Then there should be nearly 10,000 people in Fengtou Mountain!"

"Young Master, there are not so many people in Fengtou Mountain. There are only three hundred people in Fengtou Mountain." Jin Mo replied next to him.

"Only three hundred people?" This time Adou became interested. You should know that in Runan, there are many robbers of 300 people, but Fengtou Mountain can actually occupy the top three with 300 people, which must be extraordinary.

"Young Master, don't underestimate our 300 people!" Jin Mo thought Adou felt that the number of people was too small, so he underestimated them, so he immediately explained: "Unlike other robbers, these 300 people are young and strong people, and they are somewhat martial and well-equipped. Not to mention that one is worth a hundred, one is worth a hundred, and one is worth a hundred. Even if Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry comes, we are not afraid of it!"

"Yeah." Adou nodded and then asked, "Then there are only three hundred people. Wouldn't others cause trouble for you?"

"What's the use of too many people?" Niu Dameng snorted coldly: "When I robbed Wen Qin that day, one thousand people could not do anything to Wen Qin after a long time of fighting, but if the three hundred people in our village were killed, they would be able to kill Wen Qin without a stick of incense!"

What Niu Dameng said sounds crazy, but it is not an exaggeration at all. If the people on Fengtou Mountain can really reach the combat level of the tiger and leopard cavalry, then Wen Qin's hundred and ten village heroes are really not enough to see.

At this time, Xiang Fei said from the side: "Young Master, in Runan, it is not useful only if there are too many people. With more people, we consume more food, and we cannot find enough weapons to supply. Moreover, with more people, it is easy to cause the government's ideas. Every time the government comes out to suppress bandits, we will pick up places with more people."

Xiang Fei paused and continued, "When I was in the Huns, the Huns were like this. Every time they attacked the Han Dynasty, they sent more than a thousand people, or even hundreds of people. These people were young and strong men. After robbing the village, they ran away immediately and never stopped for a long time. When the soldiers guarding the border realized, the Huns had already run away. So I specially selected young and strong men. Even if the official army came, we would run faster, and there were fewer people to support. Now the brothers in the village can eat some meat every day!"

Adou smiled. Xiang Feidao is really a talented person. Even if he is a bandit, he does not blindly expand his power. On the contrary, he adopts the elite army strategy. In a poor place in Runan, the elite army is much more useful than the sea of ​​people. Because Runan does not have any steep mountains and hills, the so-called mountains are all small hills. If the power is high, it will definitely have an advantage. The most important thing is that there are few people, the food and grass consumed, and the burden is smaller.

Adou and his friends finally arrived in Fengtou Mountain.

Fengtou Mountain is not a high mountain. From a distance, you can clearly see the top of the mountain from the bottom of the mountain. Of course, there are not many high mountains in Runan.

When A Dou came to the gate of Fengtou Village, he realized that the so-called Fengtou Village was more like a small fortress. The Fengtou Village was backed by both sides, and the other two were stone walls made of stone, which were as high as five or six feet high, comparable to an ordinary small county town. A hanging door was hanging in the air, next to it were four small arrow towers, each of which was guarded by soldiers.

When the guards on the Arrow Tower saw that the leader of the village had returned, they immediately put down the hanging door and let everyone in. After A Dou entered, they realized that this Fengtou Village was definitely not simple.

Most of the buildings in Fengtou Village are made of soil mixed with stones, and several of them are tents matted on the soil base. They don’t look like they are lined or lined up, but Adou could detect that the buildings in Fengtou Village are definitely not placed randomly, and there is a hidden formation here!

"Who arranged this camp?" A Dou asked.

"Young Master, this was arranged according to Mr. Qiu's instructions. Mr. Qiu sent someone to send a drawing, and we arranged it according to Mr. Qiu's drawing. Do you think there is anything wrong with supporting me?" Jin Mo said.

Adou shook his head. It seemed that Mr. Qiu was well versed in military tactics. It was very convenient for defense and retreat in this way. If you look from the inside out, you can clearly see the situation at the gate, but if you look from the inside, the buildings in the camp just blocked your view.

Moreover, there are two rows of houses on both sides of the main entrance of the camp. All of them are padded. The walls in front are made of stone, which are extremely strong, while the row in the back is higher than the houses in the front row. If two teams of archers stand on top and shoot arrows in front of the door, it will cost a lot of money to rush in.

Xiahou Ba suddenly stopped the horse. After chasing for a long time, he had not seen the shadow of A Dou yet. Xiahou Ba felt a little anxious.

"Brother, we have been chasing for so long, why haven't we seen this shadow of Liu Chan? Could it be that Liu Chan had run away with his wings?" Xiahou Ba asked.

Xiahou Shang frowned: "I have also sent someone to ask. People around him said they had never seen the four brothers of the Wang family coming over. It seems that the four brothers of the Wang family did not chase here at all. I wonder if we have too much pursuit?"

"Brother, are you saying we ran to the front of Liu Chan?"

"Yes, think about it, we are riding horses, and Liu Chan is walking. How could he catch up with our speed? Maybe he was really left behind by us."

"But brother, we didn't see Liu Chan on the way we came?" At this point, Xia Houba paused, suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "I remembered the few bandits' cavalry we encountered on the road..."
Chapter completed!
