Chapter 171: His Poison, My Immortal Grass

By the Tuotuo River, Thorpe stared blankly at the messy river bank trampled by people and horses, where abandoned sundries and flags were still discarded, and a bloody double-knife crossed flag planted on the bank fluttered in the wind , very conspicuous. He raised his eyes and looked at the other side, where the weeds were liao liao, and he had long since disappeared. Thorpe never expected that the other party would forcefully swim across the Tuotuo River here. Originally, he thought that he still had enough water. time to catch up with the opponent.

"Third Prince!" Arenda, whose head was bandaged with only two eyes outside, walked up quickly from behind, "Shaoqi caught a horse bandit a few miles downstream, and there were more than a dozen horse bandits there. of the dead bodies, which appeared to have been washed there after being drowned, and only one survived."

"Bring it here!" Thorpe sighed, the other party had already crossed the Tuotuo River, so he no longer had to chase after him, but now, he wanted to figure out why Sha Potian suddenly attacked the Yulin Camp, This is completely unreasonable.

Two Donghu cavalrymen came over dragging a heavily tied horse bandit. In fact, there was no need to tie this man up. The river water was soaked pale, and it looked horrible. There were injuries on the body, but after struggling for life in the river water, the strength of the whole body had already been exhausted. At this moment, it was as soft as a noodle, and there was no strength left.

With a snap, the injured horse bandit was thrown in front of Thorpe. He struggled, put his hands on the ground, and wanted to get up, but tried several times, but failed. After falling again and again, he finally gave up standing. He tried his best to get up, propped himself up on the ground, and let himself sit up. His face was pale, but his eyes were still shining, staring at Thorpe.

Thorpe looked at the horse bandit who had fallen into his hands, and he did not see fear or fear in the other party's eyes. Instead, I saw hatred, naked, undisguised hatred.

Thorpe looked down at his opponent, "Tell me what I want to know, maybe you can die more happily." He said coldly. "Maybe death is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that you want to die but you can't die."

From the eyes of the other party, Thorpe knew that this is not a person who is afraid of death, so he is very clean and authentic.

The other party looked at Thorpe and suddenly laughed. "Want to die but can't die? Yes, it's scary, but I've already experienced it, so it's okay to do it again. Damn barbarian, use whatever you can, grandpa, I want to scream, it's not hero."

Hearing this horse bandit's tough answer. The two Donghu cavalrymen behind them were furious, and they kicked the wounded soldier on the back at the same time, with a pounce. Kick him flat in the mud.

The wounded soldier coughed loudly, and then struggled to sit up from the ground. Every time he coughed, there was a big mouthful of blood. "Grandson, if you kick harder, grandpa, I can finish it sooner. Come on!"

The two Eastern Hu cavalrymen who wanted to go up to make up for their feet were stunned for a moment.

If he was really kicked to death with two feet, the third prince would not be happy.

Thorpe waved his hand and signaled the two to back down. He squatted in front of the wounded soldier and nodded, "It's unbelievable that a horse bandit has such a spirit. It's amazing. Sha Potian has a brother like you. No wonder he has been able to do this all these years." Rampant. What's your name?"

The wounded soldier laughed loudly, "Grandson, grandpa tells you, grandpa is not a horse bandit, grandpa is a county soldier in Fufeng County of Dayan, the head of the first post of the cavalry under Lieutenant Gao, and his name is Guan Qiuhu. Remember? I’m called Guan Qiuhu. When I was alive, I beat you Donghu people, and when I died in the underworld, I will beat your Donghu people’s ghosts.”

Thorpe stared wide-eyed, looked at the other party, his eyes were full of shock, "Yan Guo, Fufeng County soldier, Gao Yuan?"

"That's right, it's Lieutenant Gao. Lieutenant Gao brought us to burn your food and grass. You bastards are thinking about killing and looting our Dayan again. Why can I watch you?" Guan Qiuhu widened Eyes, sighed: "It's a pity, it's a little bit worse."

Thorpe and Arenda looked at each other with shock in their eyes. Guan Chouhu, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly lifted his spirits from his depression, "Although your camp didn't burn down, but your camp was destroyed. After a few battles, I fought very comfortably, I cut off the heads of three Donghu people with my own hands, hahaha, three, I am enough."

Thorpe took a deep breath: "Why do you hate us Donghu people so much?"

"If you don't hate you, who else will you hate? My family is farming and weaving, and they are living a good life. You Donghu savages came here, killed all my relatives, burned my house, and left me alone. Live in the world, I live, I changed my name to Guan Qiuhu, just to kill you barbarians, but now I am going to die, but it’s nothing, I have done you, Gao Xianwei will kill you for me, haha Haha, Captain Gao has already crossed the river, you can't catch up." Guan Qiuhu laughed loudly, his expression was very happy.

"A little county captain of the Yan State dares to speak nonsense, and is not afraid of laughing people's big teeth off?" Arenda sneered.

"Bah!" Guan Qiuhu spat fiercely on the ground, "Back in Fufeng, there were also many Donghu barbarians who looked down on Gao Xianwei, but now they have all reported to Lord Yan, look at yourself, in the future you may You don’t have the face to face anyone, it’s our Gaoxian Lieutenant who left it for you, just wait, you guys wait!"

Thorpe stood up, looked at the other side of the river, was silent for a moment, then turned and walked back, "Give this man a good time, this is a soldier."

Alunda drew out his knife with a choking sound, "Go to the Hall of Yama and wait for your High County Captain."

"I will definitely wait for you first!" Guan Qiuhu stretched his neck and laughed loudly.

The knife flashed, the laughter stopped abruptly, blood spattered out, a big head flew high, fell into the river with a bang, and was swallowed by the river in an instant.

"Reorganize the army, go back to Yulin!" Thorpe felt a little lonely. He came out this time and found nothing. Although he chased the opponent like a rabbit and fled, he did not hurt the opponent's muscles and bones after all. A thousand-man team led by Arenda had almost no casualties. No matter how you look at it, it was a complete defeat.

The only lucky thing is that after he suffered a defeat in Arenda, he quickly slapped his opponent, thereby defeating this insidious guy's plan to attack Yulin. At this time, Thorpe had fully understood Gao Yuan's plan, and he He wanted to use the matter of defeating Arenda to lure himself out of Yulin, a whole plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then avoid himself, and instead attacked Yulin's material camp, but he did not expect that he would come out so quickly. When Arenda just started fighting with him, he was already on his way to pursue him.

This is luck among misfortunes. Anyway, to ensure the safety of the Yulin camp is a victory. This tall man, with a low status and not many troops, is really a bold person who dares to go deep into Yulin alone Go, toss yourself to the point where he is a character, but his status is too low. Although he has some talents, it is difficult to climb to a high position in a place like Dayan. The status is not high. The resources that can be used are really limited, and it may cause trouble to oneself, but it will not change the overall situation in the end.

Maybe ten or twenty years later, if this Gao Yuan is not dead, he may be able to become a Zhang Shouyue-style character. At that time, I will really regard him as an opponent! Thorpe thought to himself.

Two thousand royal court elites got on their horses, horns sounded, teams of cavalry came back to build, flags were raised, and the whole team was ready to set off.

There was a sudden sound of horseshoes in the distance, and several healthy horses appeared in Thorpe's field of vision. Seeing the leader, Thorpe's face remained unchanged. It was Tulu's personal guard. At this time, he was sweating. Pain, face, body, black and white, sweat flowing, flowing out of white grooves.

"Third Prince, Yulin was attacked. The entire logistics camp is gone, all gone!" Unprepared, I was killed and broke into the big camp, and set fire to two big camps. The food, grass and supplies we worked so hard to raise were all gone, but even Yulin City was ruined by these horse bandits. There were heavy casualties."

As soon as the visitor turned his words, it was like a bolt from the blue, striking heavily on the heads of everyone present. Arenda was so startled that he fell headfirst from his horse, and when he stood up straight, he rushed forward and grabbed the visitor face to face. , "Kaze, what nonsense are you talking about, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Katse raised his head and looked at Arunda, "Arenda, it's gone, it's gone."

Thorpe was riding on the horse, staring blankly at Katse, just lamenting that he had saved the Yulin camp and thwarted the opponent's plot, but in a blink of an eye, the bad news came to him, which is really a great irony.

Is it because Gao Yuan, Fufeng, has a connection with Sha Potian? This is unlikely. Could it be that these two groups of people had no connection at all beforehand, but chose to do the same thing at the same point in time? Thorpe's body was shaking more and more, he opened his mouth, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he fell off the horse.

"Third Prince!" Arenda and Kaze turned pale with shock, and they both rushed forward to help Thorpe who had vomited blood and fell down.

"Arenda, take a thousand cavalry, cross the river, go to the sky and enter the earth, kill Gao Yuan for me, even if you chase Fufeng, kill Gao Yuan for me!" Thorpe stood up slowly, stretched out his hand to wipe After removing the blood from the corner of his mouth, he straightened his body in a short while. "Kaze, let's go back, let's go back to Yulin!"
