Three Kingdoms King of the North

Chapter 253

Xia Houlan called two uncles, and said to them: "You two, from now on, obey the orders of the second son of Yuan. You immediately set up your troops, and follow the second son of Yuan around to the back of Fengji , to cut off their retreat. Do you understand?"

"Your subordinates obey!" The two dubs quickly and loudly replied.

After Yuan Xi left with the two uncles, Xia Houlan smiled and asked Yuan Tan: "Xiansi, I don't know when you and I will leave the village to meet Fengji?"

"Tanma said that Fengji's men and horses will take an hour to arrive here." Yuan Tan said cautiously: "We will not be too late to lead our troops out of the camp after they enter the three-mile range. However," he paused for a moment , and then said, "Should we send someone back to report to Ting Hou and ask him to send more troops to help us?"

"No need," Xia Houlan waved her hands and said, "Fengji has only twenty people around, but we have as many as a thousand people. It's easy to catch them, so there is no need to send someone to report to the lord. And this time It is two days away from Yecheng, and it will be four days later when the lord sends someone to arrive, and Feng Ji will already be captured by then, so why be so surprised."

Seeing that Xia Houlan was so confident, Yuan Tan stopped persuading her.

After more than half an hour, the soldiers observing on the top of the mountain came to report: "I want to report to Colonel Xiahou, Feng Ji and others are only two miles away from here. They may have discovered the camp here, but they did not move forward. "

When Xiahoulan heard what the soldiers said, she didn't express her opinion immediately, but asked instead: "Where are the soldiers and horses brought by the second son Yuan?"

"My little one saw that Second Young Master Yuan's soldiers and horses had circled behind Feng Ji and the others, cutting off their retreat."

Knowing that the troops led by Yuan Xi have cut off the retreat of Feng Ji and others, Xia Houlan suddenly felt full of confidence.He hurriedly called two military marquises and eight princes into the tent, and ordered one of them to stay outside the camp with two princes and two hundred soldiers, and the rest followed him out to meet Fengji.

Feng Ji was staying two miles away from the camp at the moment, and when he saw the camp suddenly appearing in front of him, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Who exactly built this camp?"

Seeing that Feng Ji was standing still, Huang An quickly asked, "Uncle Feng, why did you stop moving forward?"

Feng Ji pointed to the camp in the distance with his hand, and said, "Why is there a camp here? Could it be that the Han family sent someone to wait here?" After he asked this question, before the two brothers Huang An could speak, he He asked himself and answered, "No, no, although there are a few capable people under the Han family's children, he would never have thought that we would go this way."

Feng Ji shook his head vigorously, and said mockingly: "It seems that I am worrying too much." After finishing speaking, he pointed his horsewhip forward and said, "Go on!"

After walking for less than a mile, Feng Ji saw a group of horses and horses coming in front of him, about five or six hundred riders, fanning towards him.Seeing this situation, Feng Ji couldn't help crying secretly: It's not good, it's really bad, these people seem to be targeting me.

Just when Feng Ji pulled his horse and was about to flee back, Huang Shi suddenly heard exclaiming: "Uncle Feng, hurry up, a group of people appeared behind us, cutting off our escape route."

The people before and after were all cavalry, and after a while, Fengji and his party were surrounded in the middle.Out of the queue came out a military general wearing a helmet and armor, and said to Feng Ji: "Mr. Yuan Tu, are you all right?"

Hearing someone call out his name, Feng Ji couldn't help shivering.After he saw the other party clearly, he couldn't help opening his mouth wide in surprise: "My lord, it's you. You haven't died yet."

Yuan Tan sneered twice, and said: "My son's life is hard, and it is not so easy to die. Let me ask you, why did you appear here?"

"I understand. It was the youngest of the Han family who let you out." Feng Ji was a smart man. He saw that the soldiers behind Yuan Tan were all wearing the military uniforms of Jizhou soldiers and horses. He couldn't guess what was going on. He bite the bullet and asked: "I wonder if the young master is going to take Feng to ask for merit from the little Han family?"

"That's right." Seeing that Feng Ji had guessed his intention, Yuan Tan didn't deny it, and admitted it openly: "My son has exactly this intention."

Seeing Yuan Tan and Feng Ji talking nonsense for a long time, Xia Houlan immediately stepped forward, came to Yuan Tan's side, and asked bluntly, "Feng Ji, where did you hide Miss Cai?"

"Who are you?" Before Feng Ji could speak, Huang An who was following behind him boldly asked tremblingly, "Why did you block our way?"

Xia Houlan snorted coldly, pointed at Huang An with the spear in her hand, and said: "We are under the command of Jizhou Mu and Zhangshuitinghou, because we know that Miss Cai was robbed by Fengji dogs, and we are going to rescue her. Yes. If you are sensible, quickly hand over Ms. Cai, otherwise"

"Otherwise what?" Compared with Huang An, Huang Shi is more impulsive. Seeing Xia Houlan's aggressive look at this moment, he raised his head and said with dissatisfaction: "If we don't hand over people, don't you dare to send us away?" Can't kill them all?"

"Second brother, don't be rude!" Huang An was deeply afraid that Huangshi would cause trouble, so he stopped him quickly, stepped forward to Xia Houlan and said: "This general, when my two brothers followed Uncle Feng through Chenliu, we did ask Miss Cai to accompany us. , she is in the carriage behind right now."

Hearing that Cai Yan was in the carriage behind, Xia Houlan hurriedly urged the horse forward.Zhuang Ding, who was surrounded by the carriage, was frightened out of his wits when he saw that he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry. Seeing Xia Houlan riding alone, no one dared to stop him. a road.Xia Houlan got off the horse, stuck the spear on the ground, got into the carriage, lifted the curtain and walked into the carriage.

Cai Yan was thrown behind her back in a corner of the carriage, and her mouth was tightly gagged.Hearing someone entering the carriage, she whimpered out of fear.

Xia Houlan quickly bent down and took out the silk cloth that blocked Cai Yan's mouth.Just as he was about to untie her, Cai Yan struggled to step back and shouted desperately: "Go away, you go away, don't come near me!"

Hearing Cai Yan's shout, Xia Houlan quickly stopped what she was doing, and said softly, "Zhao Ji, don't be afraid, I am Xia Houlan. I came to rescue you by the order of my lord."

"Xiahoulan?!" Cai Yan, who had been in a state of panic for several days, was a little fuzzy. Although he felt that Xiahoulan's name was very familiar, he couldn't remember who it was for a while?She murmured: "This name is so familiar, but I just can't remember where I heard it." Although she couldn't remember who Xia Houlan was for the time being, she vaguely felt that the other party had no malice towards her, so she didn't continue to struggle .

Xia Houlan pulled out a short knife from her boot, carefully cut the rope binding Cai Yan's hands and feet, and helped her sit up.He said to her, "Zhaoji, have you forgotten that I am Xia Houlan, the school lieutenant under Jizhou Mu and Zhangshuitinghou Han Zhan. I came to rescue you under the orders of my lord."

When Cai Yan heard the name Han Zhan, he couldn't help being shocked.During the period when she was kidnapped by Fengji, she kept chanting this name in her heart every day. After hearing Xia Houlan say this, her mind gradually became clearer.She looked up at Xiahoulan, and said slowly, "I remember, you are Xiahoulan, Captain Mojin under Tinghou."

The two official positions of General Faqiu Zhonglang and Captain Mojin were taken by Han Zhan based on a book about tomb robbery in later generations, so not many people know about them.When Xiahoulan heard Cai Yan mention his official position, he couldn't help showing a knowing smile on his face, he nodded vigorously, and said excitedly: "That's right, that's right, I am Captain Mojin under Tinghou. "

Cai Yan looked at Xiahoulan, and suddenly remembered Fengji who had kidnapped him, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "Captain Xiahou, where is the dog thief Fengji?"

"It's just outside." Xia Houlan pointed to the outside of the car with her hand, and said, "I plan to capture him alive, and then escort him back to Ye City, and hand him over to the lord."

At this moment, Cai Yan, although wishing to eat his flesh raw, but thinking that Feng Ji and Han Zhan also had a deep blood feud, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Xia Houlan: "In this case, let him spare his life for the time being, and wait for him." After returning to Ye City, it will not be too late to deal with him."

After Cai Yan finished speaking, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Isn't Tinghou supposed to be in Jizhou? When did you arrive in Yecheng again?"

"Zhaoji doesn't know something." Xiahou smiled and explained to Cai Yan: "A dozen or so days ago, my lord led an army to capture Yecheng, and Yuan Shao disappeared after his defeat." Seeing Zhuang Ding surrounded by the carriage through the door curtain, he asked curiously, "Does Zhao Ji know who is walking with Fengji?"

Hearing Xia Houlan's question, Cai Yan nodded, and said: "Fengji once brought two young men to worship at the grave of my concubine's father, saying that they were the two sons of the owner of Huangjiazhuang in the east, because they admired my father's Talent, I made a special trip to pay respects."

"Since they are here to pay homage to Cai Shizhong," Xia Houlan showed a puzzled expression when she heard Cai Yan say this: "Then why did they kidnap Zhaoji again?"

Hearing that Cai Yan was in the carriage behind, Xia Houlan hurriedly urged the horse forward.Zhuang Ding, who was surrounded by the carriage, was frightened out of his wits when he saw that he was surrounded by hundreds of cavalry.

Chapter 254 Meeting Cai Yan Again

Before receiving Xia Houlan's letter, Han Zhan, who had not been able to get Cai Yan's whereabouts, was extremely depressed.Whenever he was free every day, he would ask Chen Dao, "Uncle Zhi, do you have any news from the ministries?"

As Han Zhan's subordinate, Chen Dao naturally understood what Han Zhan was asking, and quickly shook his head and said, "Returning to the lord, there is no news from any of the people."
