Back to the Three Kingdoms

Chen Lang personally led Gan Ning and other thousand people to put on black costumes and ride the bamboo raft down the river under the cover of night, while Guan Yu and Chun Yuqiong led the team to stay at the camp.

At the same time, in Luoyang City, after the third watch drum was beaten, hundreds of black shadows quietly approached the back door of the palace. One of them knocked gently on the palace door. Then the palace door opened, and an officer came out and watched. He glanced at the people in black and immediately put them in.

Chen Lang and his group took the bamboo raft and went down the river directly to dozens of miles away. At this time, from the surface of the river, you can see the brilliantly illuminated Luoyang City from afar, under the cover of the bright moon and river, it is beautiful, like a palace in the sky. Seeing this beautiful scenery, Chen Lang couldn't help sighing in his heart, and suddenly felt that the so-called achievements of civilization in later generations might be the greatest failure of mankind!

Chen Lang saw a dense forest on the shore not far away, and immediately ordered the fleet to pass by and hide in the reeds beside the forest. Immediately everyone boarded the river bank and came to the forest. An officer pointed to the side of the guide, a rolling hilly area seven or eight miles away from Luoyang City, and said: "Luoyang Dongdakang is located there."

Chen Lang looked in the direction of his fingers, and saw the outline of the house faintly visible in the continuous shadows, and then ordered: "Move." Chen Lang and Gan Ning led 800 people quickly out of the forest and headed towards Okura. He ran in the direction, and it didn't take long before everyone came to Luoyang Dacang, hiding in the darkness.

Chen Lang observed the situation of the warehouse, and saw that the warehouse was large in scale, like a not-so-small village, in which the round spires of grain and haystacks were lined up in rows, afraid that there would not be hundreds; a few torches flashed in the warehouse , The light is very dim, and there is no patrolman in sight; the entire Okura is surrounded by a circle of tall log fences. Above the gate is a patrol corridor. Two soldiers are holding their long guns and leaning against the pillars of the corridor. Dozing off.

Chen Lang waved his hand, when even a few soldiers ran over, rushed to the gate, observed the surroundings, and saw that there was no one, he immediately climbed up the corridor and quickly knocked out the two who were dozing off. The sentinel, tied his five flowers together. Then the soldiers came down from the gate and opened the gate. Chen Lang immediately entered the handsome man. Chen Lang said to Gan Ning: "You immediately take people to the guards' room to control everyone." Gan Ning responded and led half of the soldiers to the rows of wooden houses in the warehouse. , Chen Lang commanded the rest of the soldiers to quickly carry grain and grass. There are carts for transporting grain and grass in the warehouse. Chen Lang’s soldiers used these carts to carry the grain and grass. Carts loaded with grain drove out of the warehouse and headed for the woods by the river. , The rattling sound of the cart as it was moving echoed in the night sky.

Chen Lang came to the heights of Okura and looked towards Luoyang, hoping that this operation could be completed smoothly.

Gan Ning rushed to Chen Lang's side and clasped his fists, saying, "Brother Wolf, all the guards are under control. According to Brother Wolf's instructions, neither one escaped nor one was killed."

Chen Lang nodded.

About an hour later, Pei Yuanshao ran in front of Chen Lang, clasped his fist and said, "General Qi, we have already shipped 100,000 dan of grains and a lot of dried meat." Chen Lang said, "The quantity is enough, retreat immediately! "

Everyone quickly evacuated Ocang. The originally busy Ocang soon became silent. A night breeze blew, several wheat ears flying in the sky, the door was wide open, but no half of a person was seen.

Soon after, more than two hundred bamboo rafts loaded with food and materials went upstream and returned to the barracks. As they passed near Luoyang, they suddenly found that the city of Luoyang was brightly lit, and there was a vague sound of commotion. Seeing this, Gan Ning couldn't help worrying, and said, "Damn, how come the Luoyang city knew that we had robbed Dongdacang?"

Chen Lang looked towards Luoyang City, and saw soldiers and horses pouring out from the east, west and north city gates. The noise of the horses and soldiers came from far away, frowning and saying, "It's not because of us. But it seems that something happened. Major event.” Then he ordered: “Tell the brothers to work harder and leave this area as soon as possible.” Gan Ning waited for the order to pass, and the officers and soldiers on the rafts all used their best to punt the boat. At this time, everyone on the raft could see the movement near the city gate from a distance, but the people near the city gate could not see the situation on the river, because the people near the city gate were burning torches, but Chen Lang and the others did not. Light the torch.

The army coming out of the city gate searched around, and a soldier approached the river. The fleet gradually moved away, farther and farther away from Luoyang City. The soldier came to the river and found nothing suspicious, so he turned his head and searched downstream along the Yellow River.

"Weird thing? What do they seem to be searching for?" Gan Ning said strangely. Chen Lang nodded.

auzw.com The raft team returned to the starting point without any risk. Chun Yuqiong, who was waiting by the river, immediately greeted him, clasped her fist and said, "General, you are back! Something has happened!" Chen Lang asked with a smile: "It won't be our business, right?" Chun Yuqiong said, "Not long ago, the Feiyu messenger came to the palace, and we urged our Yingyang army to dispatch the entire army to search for the culprits who kidnapped the two princes! It is said that all the soldiers and horses near the capital have been dispatched!"

Chen Lang and Gan Ning were surprised. Chen Lang asked, "The thief who kidnapped the prince?" Chun Yuqiong nodded. Gan Ning said in disbelief: "How could the prince be kidnapped? And the two princes were kidnapped? This, this is too strange!"

Chen Lang thought of the commotion in Luoyang City he saw when he came back, and said, "It turns out that the commotion in Luoyang City was due to the missing of the prince." The raft! The garrison in Luoyang City has all been dispatched. It would be bad if they found out the situation here." Gan Ning and Chun Yuqiong clasped their fists and hurriedly ordered the officers and soldiers to deliver food and destroy the rafts and the woods by the river. China is busy. Fortunately, this area is the resident of the Yingyang army, and other troops will not come over for a while, otherwise this matter would be difficult to handle.

Chen Lang quickly returned to the barracks. Guan Yu had assembled an army to wait for him. Seeing that he was back, he hurriedly greeted him, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, Chunyuqiong has already reported to you, right?" Chen Lang nodded and looked around. The already assembled army asked, "Where is the messenger of the court?" Guan Yu said, "I have already returned to life. Brother, what should we do?"

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Since the court has orders, we naturally must obey." Turning to Guan Yu, he said, "Three thousand people are left to guard the camp, and the rest will immediately leave the camp and divide into ten teams to search for the culprits and rescue the prince." Guan Yu clasped his fists and promised.

The camp gate opened, and nearly 10,000 troops left the camp gate one by one. Chen Lang personally led a team to search in the northeast. In fact, the reason why Chen Lang went to the northeast in person was because he was worried that other troops would come and discover his secret.

Nearly a thousand people came to the bank of the Yellow River. At this moment, a group of soldiers and horses on the shore not far downstream were igniting torches and moving upstream. Chen Lang frowned, and immediately led the soldiers and horses to greet him. The soldiers and horses of the two sides met and each stopped. Chen Lang saw that the general in the lead was Zhao Rong, the assistant Zuo Lieutenant of one of the eight schools in Xiyuan, so he clasped his fist and said, "General Zhao."

Chen Lang of Zhao Rongren didn't dare to neglect, clasped his fist and said, "General Chen."

Chen Lang asked: "Why did General Zhao come to my defense zone?" Zhao Rong said: "Search for the culprits, so here it is."

Chen Lang said: "This area is the defense zone of our eagle and army. We will be in charge of our eagle and army. Don't bother General Zhao."

Zhao Rong knew that the concept of territoriality in the army was very important. The Eighth School of Xiyuan to which he belonged was stationed in the capital, and the area around Mianchi was garrisoned by Zuoyu Linwei’s Yingyang Army. Therefore, if he insists on acting here, he is afraid that there will be peace. Conflict with each other. Zhao Rong clasped his fist and said: "There are eagles garrisoned here. The culprits must not dare to come here, so I will search for places." Chen Lang clasped his fists and said: "General Zhao is easy to walk." Zhao Rong arched towards Chen Lang. Handed over, he led the soldiers and horses under his command to go elsewhere.

Chen Lang led his troops and horses strolling along the river, not so much searching for the culprit who kidnapped the prince, but rather preventing other troops from coming over.

Chen Lang suddenly noticed a very clear track mark by the river, and couldn't help thinking. Immediately turned over and dismounted, and walked over. When I came to the rut, I observed it and found that there were many footprints around the rut. The rut and the footprints were obviously new. Chen Lang turned his head and looked in the direction where the rut marks and footprints stretched. They all went to the west, and not far to the west was a small fishing village by the river.

Chen Lang immediately turned on his horse, pointed at the small fishing village in the distance, and ordered: "Encircle the fishing village!" Then he led nearly a thousand officers and men under his command to the stupid one and quickly surrounded the fishing village. Chen Lang led more than a hundred people into the fishing village following the rut marks and footprints. He came to a deserted river temple and found an exquisite horse-drawn carriage that had been abandoned. Chen Lang motioned everyone to hide in front of the dilapidated wall of the temple. At this moment, the voice of people talking faintly came out from the temple. The voice was very low, and it was hard to hear what it was saying.

Chen Lang waved his hand and led more than a hundred officers and men into the crowd. As soon as I rushed into the lobby of the temple, I saw seven or eight people running away in the dark! The crowd rushed up, knocking the guys who wanted to escape to the ground and tied them up, and they fisted together if they were not honest, crying out for mercy one after another.

Chen Lang ordered people to light a torch, and saw that the seven or eight people caught by him were all eunuch-like guys. He couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Who are you?" The eunuchs trembled, but they didn't speak.

At this moment, an officer rushed to Chen Lang and whispered: "General, we found the body of a child behind the curtain. Wearing a yellow shirt."
