The tunnel entrance was blown up and blocked tightly, Ye Shikai was relieved, and continued to walk forward with the secret guards, the tunnel was not short, but after all, there were chasing soldiers behind, and no one dared to slack off with more than two thousand people, they all accelerated their pace, and it didn't take long for them to come to an end.

"Lao Ye, are you all right, I heard from the guards that you have fought with the Praetorian Guard. As soon as Ye Shikai walked out of the tunnel, Shangguan Jian hurriedly greeted him.

"Don't worry, it's just a few tricks. Ye Shikai said lightly, looked around, and saw that Wan Qiyuan's troops had not yet arrived, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"Mancang, why hasn't he come yet. Ye Shikai asked.

"It should be almost there, don't rush. Shangguan Jian explained, sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear a rush of footsteps, and the sound of horses' hooves on the ground, and when he turned his head, he saw that thousands of ironclad troops and cavalry were coming here.

"General, I'm coming. In fact, when he heard that Ye Shikai was "house arrested" by Mi Wen in the official mansion, he was the most emotional, and even thought about taking the ironclad army into the official mansion, but was immediately stopped by Shangguan Jian.

"How many troops and horses are we able to mobilize now. Ye Shikai asked.

"There are three thousand cavalry, four thousand ironclad troops, and more than two thousand guards, all of which add up to nearly 10,000 people. Shangguan Jian replied, hearing this, Ye Shikai actually began to hesitate.

"Lao Ye, what are you hesitating about, we should evacuate quickly, it's too dangerous here, there are 100,000 troops stationed in the eight military camps nearby, and the chasing soldiers will come up without leaving. ”

"Yes, general, when our troops left the camp, Huo Ziqing's kid had already noticed the abnormality, he was the henchman of the lord, he would definitely enter the city to investigate, and he would definitely bring the pursuers over in person when the time came. Man Cang also chimed in.

"No, the army can't go together. Ye Shikai said suddenly.

"Lao Ye, what do you mean by this. Shangguan Jian asked.

"We have nearly 10,000 brothers here, and this is Linxiang City, which is the hinterland of the Chu State, even if we evacuate now, where can we evacuate. Ye Shikai said in a serious tone and firmly, "We are all experienced in a hundred battles, but Linxiang City has more than 100,000 troops, and more than 100,000 people bite us less than 10,000 and do not let go, how long can we hold on." ”

After everyone heard this, they all fell into silence, now they are equivalent to "rebellion", but this time it is not a rebellion against the Qin Dynasty, but a rebellion against Qiwen, now they are deep in the hinterland, and there is no supply, there are more than 100,000 chasing soldiers behind, even if they go all the way north, looking for other rebel forces, these 10,000 brothers are afraid that there is a chance that they will die on the road, if they defend and resist in situ, even if they can resist for a few days, what can they do, hundreds of thousands of troops, how long can they be, a week, or a month......

"Lao Ye, I thought of this, let's go to Huiji, it is not Miwen's territory, she will not touch it easily, we can recruit troops there, cultivate strength, or go to Bashu, I know many guards there, we can guard Bashu, the emperor is far away, and Miwen can't help us." Shangguan Jian persuaded again and again, and pointed to the brothers behind him.

"Lao Ye, among these brothers, some of them participated in the Battle of Nanyang with us, see the Battle of Bashu, and some of them are the old brothers we brought from Dong County and Hanoi County, we have already been killed. Shangguan Jian said loudly.

"May the general live and die together. ”

"May the general live and die together. ”

"May the general live and die together. ”

Nearly 10,000 brothers shouted one after another, Ye Shikai faintly felt that his eyes were red, there were so many people who were willing to give his life to him, and it was not in vain.

However, Ye Shikai still won't fight.

In this case, the war basically means that the jade is burned, which is equivalent to pushing these 10,000 brothers to death, whether it is the old brothers who fought against the wolf clan together on the Great Wall, or the new brothers recruited from Linxiang City, this is all human life.

"Full warehouse, Wan Qiyuan. ”

"In. ”

"In. ”

"With your troops, make a little movement in the vicinity and delay the pursuers, but you must not resist the pursuers. ”

"What, this ......"

"Say no more, this is the order. Ye Shikai said firmly, the only way to save the lives of these brothers now is to let these troops only be used to interfere with the direction of the pursuing soldiers, help delay, and buy time for Ye Shikai's evacuation, and absolutely cannot resist, so that they are not "rebels".

"General, I can obey your orders, but I must follow you. Man Cang suddenly knelt down in front of Ye Shikai, "If it weren't for you, I would be just a prisoner now, maybe I would have died a long time ago, general, no, big brother, I am willing to be one of your guards, swear to follow to the death, no regrets." ”

"Okay, our brothers are together. Ye Shikai hurriedly pulled the person up, in fact, he knows Man Cang very well, he is a man with a true temperament, and he has long regarded Ye Shikai as a big brother, and now in this situation, he will definitely choose to follow.

"General, under the ...... I want to go with you in the next too. Wan Qiyuan dismounted and said, Ye Shikai also agreed, unlike everyone, Wan Qiyuan was a wolf clan, Ye Shikai, Shangguan Jian and Man Cang left like this, he and the cavalry team would definitely be excluded in the army, in addition, he had helped the imperial court fight against the wolf clan before, and many wolf clan people knew about it, so it was naturally impossible for him to go back to the grassland.

"Brothers, you are willing to believe me, I accept this love, but I can't exchange your lives for tomorrow, the lord is not a faint king, you serve under her, I am also relieved. ”

In the end, Ye Shikai only brought the secret guard and dozens of henchmen of the old brothers, they were all born and died together, it was really difficult to part, and as for the other sergeants, they all returned to the barracks.

............................................................

"Lao Ye, where are we going next. Shangguan Jian asked.

"I've already thought about it, come with me. Everyone rode on horseback, the speed was naturally fast, and the destination was naturally a "secret place" that had been prepared a long time ago, Ye Shikai did not let the army guard also take this into account, the 10,000 army seemed to be protected in place, in fact, this would become a big target, no matter where they went, the pursuers would know immediately, and the guards of hundreds of people were different, coming and going without a trace, and there was no trace at all.
