Chapter 250 Chasing Troops
Huang Zhong was willing to go north with Wang Yue. Three days later, Wang Yue prepared a carriage for Huang Zhong's family. After arranging all trivial matters, Huang Zhong's family went north with Wang Yue to Bingzhou.
Outside Dangyang City, Huang Zhong and Wang Yue rode their horses to the city gate. When the soldiers guarding the city saw Huang Zhong here, they immediately sent someone to inform the county magistrate of the city. When the county magistrate of the city learned that Huang Zhongzhong was going out of the city, they hurriedly got down from the city and bowed forward and said, "I don't know where Huang Zhonglang is going."
"Hmph! Cai Xiang, it's not your turn to ask where I, Huang Zhong, where I want to go. Let me give you a quick answer, I'm leaving the city." Huang Zhong couldn't help but snorted coldly, and couldn't help but be angry. When was he still questioned by a small county magistrate?
The county magistrate in front of him is a branch of the Cai family and a subordinate of Cai Mao. Since Huang Zhong was dismissed from office, Cai Mao had already asked Cai Xiang to pay more attention to Huang Zhong's every move. At this time, Huang Zhong and his family left the city, of course he doubted how he would let him go.
"I dare not, I dare not, I just care about Huang Zhonglang. After all, the world is not peaceful. Huang Zhonglang's family only takes so few people when they leave the city. If they encounter the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, they will not be able to take responsibility." County magistrate Cai Xiang said with a smile.
Huang Zhong's family has only five or six people, plus Wang Yue's dozen people, and at most, there are only about twenty people in front of him.
"Cai Xiang, you are polite Huang Zhong. Now Huang is no longer a general of the Central Army, so you don't have to please him like this. He is so rude. This time he just went back to his hometown to pay tribute to his parents and would return in a few days." Huang Zhong is from Nanyang, and his parents were both ruined in Nanyang. Huang Zhong knew that Cai Xiang was under Cai Mao. If he knew that his move was going north, he would not be peaceful.
"Oh, since that's the case, I won't ask more." Cai Xiang turned his head and looked at the guards at the city gate, and shouted, "You can't give in quickly."
The county magistrates spoke, but these soldiers didn't want to be punished, and they all quickly gave in with guns.
Huang Zhong did not say much, but asked Huang Zhan, who was sitting in the carriage, to be a coachman, to leave the city first, and finally went out with Wang Yue and others.
Looking at Huang Zhong and others who were gradually fading away, Cai Xiang's face changed drastically, and he felt even more confused. "Strange, who are these people around Huang Zhong, and why have I never seen them before?"
"Sir, do you think of those who ride good horses and hold swords?" A general stood behind Cai Xiang. When he heard Cai Xiang mutter, he hurriedly stepped forward and spoke. The person who spoke was the general who stopped Wang Yue from entering the city a few days ago. Although Wang Yue and others did not wear a hat at this time, the other party was dressed, the sword in his hand and the good horse under his crotch could be recognized at a glance.
Cai Xiang turned his head and looked at the other party, with an unhappy expression on his face, "What, you know them."
"No, no, how could the young man know these people in the martial arts world? It was just a few days ago..." Seeing that Cai Xiang's expression was wrong, the general quickly shook his hand and said that he didn't know him, and slowly told Cai Xiang about the matter a few days ago.
After hearing the other party's words, Cai Xiang felt that things were a little strange, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong. "It's a coincidence. Who are these people? How could they know Huang Zhong? They only had a few days to come to Dangyang. This time Huang Zhong returned to Nanyang and went together. It was even more puzzling that Huang Zhong never brought Huang Zhan, the official family with him when he returned to Nanyang these years, but now not only the whole family went together, but the official family also went together."
"The thing is a bit strange, and Huang Zhong probably didn't go back to Nanyang." Cai Xiang, who had been thinking for a while, didn't know what Huang Zhong's gourd was selling, but one thing is certain that Huang Zhong could not be let go. Huang Zhong left this trip, and it would be difficult to go back to Dangyang.
"You guys, hurry up and go to Huang Mansion to see if Huang Zhong is going back to Nanyang or have other plans." Cai Xiang was worried and hurriedly sent someone to Huang Mansion to inquire about it. Huang Zhong was leaving, but there will be someone left in his maids and servants, and neighbors can also find out the news.
The four subordinates behind him took the order and left, rode the horses he brought over toward Huang Zhong's family.
"There are you two, take my military talisman and go to the south of the city to mobilize 500 cavalry." Cai Xiang was quite thoughtful in doing things and was prepared for everything. If he pursued Huang Zhong later, he would not have to waste time.
"As for the order." The two people behind him stepped forward to take the order, took the military talismans in Cai Xiang's hand and quickly headed towards the south of the city.
Half an hour later, four soldiers who went to Huang Zhong's house rode their horses back. When they learned that Huang Zhong's mansion was already empty, they asked the maids and subordinates from their neighbors that they had left this morning, Cai Xiang confirmed that Huang Zhong's trip was not going to Nanyang, but to escape from Jingzhou. "No, Huang Zhong wants to escape from Jingzhou. Hurry up, prepare the horses and chase me."
"Dadadadada..............." With the order of Cai Xiang, five hundred war horses in Dangyang City quickly pursued Huang Zhong and others in the direction where they left. Five hundred cavalry was not a small number. Cai Xiang was very sure that he was more than enough to deal with Huang Zhong and others who were less than twenty people.
Cai Xiang didn't know that among these people, Huang Zhong was the most powerful. He could completely suppress the other party with the number of 500 cavalrymen. But he would never know that among these people, except for Huang Zhong's wife and children, none of them were easy to mess with. Of course, the 500 cavalrymen were not a good deal. If a charge attack came, Huang Zhong and Wang Yue would be unable to resist.
The fast horse was chasing, and the horse's hooves ran rapidly on the official road. After chasing for several hours, they finally got closer and closer to Huang Zhong and others. There was a carriage in Huang Zhong's team, and the carriage lived in Huang Zhong's wife and children. His son was weak and sick, so the carriage did not dare to drive quickly. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Cai Xiang and other southern war horses to catch up with the northern war horses. After all, Huang Zhong and others left more than half an hour earlier than Cai Xiang.
"Brother Wang, something is wrong, Cai Xiang has sent his army to chase him." Hearing the sound of horse hooves behind him approaching, Huang Zhong affirmed that Cai Xiang led his troops to pursue him.
"Hmph! Come on, come on. Since you are here, let him go without going back." Wang Yue held the reins in one hand and held a sword in the other, and said to the two subordinates on the other side, "You four of you escort Mrs. Huang first, and Huang and I are here to block for a while."
Everyone stopped the horse and started to divide the work. In order to let the people in the carriage avoid the sword light and blood, Wang Yue sent four people to escort the carriage away first. With the coachman Huang Zhan, these five people could save the few people in the carriage.
Suddenly, only eleven people were left. Among these eleven people, except Huang Zhong, they were all masters of swords. Of course, Huang Zhong was also a master of arrows. If only these eleven horses were used to block five hundred horses, it would be a fool. Therefore, Huang Zhong and Wang Yue discussed that the two must capture the thief and capture the king first, and kill Cai Xiang as soon as possible to allow the Jingzhou army to retreat without fighting.
"God of the car......" Cai Xiang thrust his horse hard. When he saw the eleven horses lined up on the official road, his speed slowed down and he slowly got closer.
"Cai Xiang, what does it mean to pursue Huang with so many people?" Huang Zhong cursed angrily.
"Hahaha..............., what does it mean? Huang Zhong, I know, do you want to escape from Jingzhou? But without the order of your lord, you should go back with me obediently, otherwise, you can only take your head back to work today." Cai Xiang laughed loudly, and with the situation of military strength in front of him, he was very sure.
"If you want Huang to go back, you have to see if you have the strength. Don't think that you want to take Huang if you send these shrimp soldiers and crab generals." Huang Zhong didn't say nonsense, took down the longbow from his back, took out three wolf-toothed arrows from the horse's belly quiver, and aimed at Cai Xiang not far away.
Cai Xiang's face suddenly turned pale when he saw Huang Zhong aiming at him with a bow. He knew that Huang Zhong's archery skills could not escape from his sharp arrow within a hundred steps.
"Hurry.........Stop it quickly and rush up and kill Huang Zhong. If Huang Zhong can be killed, you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold." Hiding behind the cavalry, Cai Xiang quickly issued an order. With the benefit of picking up money, five hundred cavalrymen came to Huang Zhong and others.
