Chapter 323: This is clearly here to dismantle the stage!
Where would Li Le and Hu Cai have thought that Niu Fu, the general under Dong Zhuo, would appear here in Xiaopingjin, but the enemy was in front, and he could only fight head-on, Li Le raised his long knife and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Brothers, now that we are besieged by the enemy, if we want to get out alive, we can only fight to the death, everyone will kill with me!"
"Kill!" only a few sparse voices answered him.
Li Le looked back in amazement, only to see that Han Xianam's 3,000 men and horses were actually retreating!
Hu Cai also noticed it, and he flicked his whip hatefully: "I know that Han Xian is tricking us to die inside, but I didn't expect that his soldiers are also this virtue, this is obviously here to dismantle the stage!"
Niu Fu also wondered why these white wave thieves actually abandoned their main general and ran away directly, and they all escaped in an orderly manner, as if they had been arranged in advance, so he grabbed a few captured white wave thief soldiers and asked, "What's going on?"
The soldiers all trembled and said: "The small ones don't know, but the three thousand people brought by the two generals Li Le and Hu Cai are not their own people, but the men and horses of Han Xian, the commander of Baibo Qu stationed in Xiaopingjin, Han Xian seems to be intending to let Li Hu and the others come to die, and the other small ones don't know!"
"So that's the case!Hehe, it's really interesting!" Niu Fu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and he said to Hu Chi'er, "You take a team of people to cut off the return of Li Le and Hu Cai, since Han Xian doesn't trust them, then you might as well introduce them to the lord!"
Hu Chi'er smiled mysteriously: "I think the general wants to use it himself, right?"
"So many words!" Niu Fu flung over with a whip, and was already avoided by Hu Chi'er, leaving the battlefield with a team of people, and going to the rear to outflank him.
Li Le and Hu Cai killed for a while, only the hundreds of personal soldiers they brought when they came, but at this moment, the mountains and fields were full of Niu Fu's men and horses, and they didn't know how long they had been fighting, and most of them had been killed and wounded, and even their war horses were hit by a few arrows, limping forward one by one, and the speed was extremely slow, Li Le hated and said: "Why is that Han Xian so insidious, does he really want us to die?
Hu Cai wiped the blood on his face, sighed and smiled bitterly: "Counting on him to save it, it's better to count on Gao Yi to save it, at least Gao Yi has saved our lives!"
Li Le snorted coldly: "I'm not really stupid, that Gao Yi originally wanted to annex our men and horses, if it wasn't for the fact that Di Mo happened in the middle, killing so many of our subordinates, maybe now I have to be a cow and a horse for Gao Yi, and besides, the reason why Di Mo's conspiracy was successful, this Gao Yi is also to blame, he is good, he didn't execute Di Mo, but just imprisoned him, how could I cooperate with this kind of person?"
"Dissipate your anger, now is not the time to talk about this, how to save this life, is the most important thing!" Hu Cai shook his head, signaling Li Le to listen to the sound of shouting and killing not far away, it was Niu Fu's army that was searching for them, and they were still on the way to flee after all.
"Two generals, there is no road ahead!" The guide officer appeared very inopportunely at this time, he cried and mourned, and motioned to Li Le and Hu Cai to look at the dead end not far away.
"Idiot, how do you act as a guide officer!" Li Le was furious when he heard this, stabbed out, killed the incompetent guide officer, and drew back his long knife, his eyes were blood-red, looking at the rest of the soldiers, but he saw that the eyes of these soldiers were full of fear.
Hu Cai shook his head: "Why do you bother, kill him, what is the matter if we are really trapped in this northern mountain? If it is night, even if we are not discovered by Niu Fu, we will freeze to death and starve to death here!"
Li Leman didn't care: "Joke, can a living person suffocate urine?"
With that, he turned over and jumped off his horse, pointed to a trembling soldier and said, "Take off your clothes and change with me!"
The little soldier knew that Li Le wanted him to put on clothes and lead away the enemy army, so he would definitely die, but he was just a small soldier, and he could only do what he was ordered from above, otherwise he would die faster like the guide officer on the ground.
Hu Cai did not change clothes with the soldiers, he just took off his own clothes, discarded them on the road, stripped off the clothes of the guide officer, put them on himself, and ordered the soldiers to put his clothes on the dead guide officer, so that Niu Fu would mistakenly think that the main general was dead, and the two of them could mix in the crowd and take advantage of the chaos to escape.
Li Le looked at Hu Cai doing all this inexplicably, and said disapprerovitically: "It's all this time, brother, you are still so kind!"
Hu Cai smiled: "This is not called kindness, this is called respect for life, everyone has a father, a mother and a wife, we can't just want our own safety, regardless of the feelings of others, in that case, in the end, no soldier wants to mix with us!"
He said this, pointing to the mortally wounded soldiers beside him.
Li Le was speechless.
Hu Cai said to the soldiers: "Li Shuai and I are unlucky, we have been losing the battle recently, and now we are in a slump and hopeless, we can't even bother you, you go to fend for yourself, go to Dong Zhuo or Gao Yi, Dong Zhuo I don't dare to guarantee, but Gao Yi will definitely let you live, his people and horses are nearby, if you miss this opportunity, there will be no more in the future!"
The soldiers were touched by Hu Cai's words, and a few dared to ask Hu Cai in a loud voice: "Won't the general go with us?"
Hu Cai smiled bitterly, he glanced at Li Le and then said to himself: "The Tao is not the same, if I and Li Shuai want to vote for him Gao Yi, I will take refuge in Songshan, and I don't have to wait until now!"
At this moment, the shouting of killing suddenly approached, and Hu Cai shouted to the soldiers: "Don't leave quickly! It's too late!"
"General take care!" Grateful for Hu Cai's words, the soldiers glanced at Hu Cai with some nostalgia, most of them headed towards the nearby rugged mountain road, and a few of them stayed and refused to leave.
Hu Cai was puzzled and asked these people: "What are you doing here?"
Everyone replied in unison: "I am willing to go back and fight to the death with the enemy army, and live up to the kindness of the general!"
At this time, even Li Le was touched, he looked at the ordinary soldier's clothes he was wearing with some shame, and before he could say anything, he saw these soldiers rushing towards the direction they came, and everyone had a resolute expression on their faces.
"I found the enemy, there are only a few dozen people, give it to me, and quickly exterminate it!" It didn't take long for the sound of Niu Fu's people and horses to be heard nearby, and the sound of the rolling horses' hooves was like thunder, and every time it shook the hearts of Li Le and Hu Cai, who were standing here.
"Brothers, kill the enemy, kill them all!" The shouts of death were also heard, although not very loud, but they stirred people's hearts, and it was the roar of Hu Cai's own soldiers.
The sounds of fighting, screams, laughter, and horses' hooves are intertwined into a wonderful and tragic ensemble in this snowy and cold winter mountain.
"Don't you regret following me!" Li Le was in tears, and at the same time ran almost frantically on the rugged mountain road, his clothes were scraped by the messy branches, his chest fell together, and he fell down in embarrassment several times and quickly got up and continued to escape.
"How come, huh, huh, the most correct thing that Hu Cai has ever done in my life is to follow you!" Hu Cai behind Li Le was also running, but on the contrary to Li Le, his face was full of happy smiles.
"For me, I abandoned my family and business, didn't even do an official, but I was a thief, and now I can't even guarantee survival, is it worth it?" Li Le may have been really tired, so he stopped, gasping breathlessly, but his eyes were staring at Hu Cai, who stopped at the same time, and remembered what had happened to him and this man over the years.
Hu Cai smiled, the years have carved an indelible mark on his face, and also carved the various pasts experienced with Li Le in front of him, before meeting Li Le, he never believed that he would be so devoted to a person, a man, he thought it was just a simple friendship between men, but soon found out that no, what kind of friendship can make a person dream of another person, sharing weal and woe? What kind of friendship can make them feel that fame, fortune, wealth and glory are just a passing glance?
"Is it wrong to like someone?" Hu Cai looked at Li Le in a daze, as if he was asking himself.
Li Le let out a sigh and sighed faintly: "It's not wrong to like someone, but it's wrong for a man to like a man!"
If it weren't for the compulsion of life, no one would want to be a thief, once the court named a thief, that is, don't want to turn over for the rest of your life, Li Le is like this, born in a poor family, there is no way to be an official, repeatedly frustrated, in order to survive, can only take refuge in the white wave thief Guo Tai, who was in full swing at that time.
But Hu Cai is different, he is the son of a wang family, and he was once taken by Li Le as a hostage to ask Hu Cai's family for a huge ransom, unexpectedly the ransom was delivered, but Hu Cai did not leave, but willingly stayed by Li Le's side, saying that he wanted to be Li Le's military advisor.
But no one knows, the military advisor is just a pretense, Hu Cai is a dragon impotence, he fell in love with Li Le, a rough Kanto man, and naturally stayed with him, Hu Cai's family learned the news, and felt that the family was unfortunate, and announced that there was no Hu Cai's son on the same day.
But Hu Cai didn't care about this, since then, he has never given up on Li Le, not only giving advice, but also personally taking care of Li Le's food, clothing and daily life, as if he had become Li Le's wife, and the eyes that looked at Li Le were also affectionate.
And now Hu Cai, who was looking at Li Le affectionately, changed his complexion, and pushed Li Le away with all his might, and before Li Le came back to his senses, he saw a feather arrow swish, and it hit Hu Cai's heart!
"Brother, brother!" Li Le helped Hu Cai, but touched the blood in his hand.
A lot of soldiers from the Niu Auxiliary Army suddenly appeared on all sides, all of them were holding guns and bows and waiting for them, and the first person was Hu Chi'er, who was fatally ambushed here by Niu Fu, who came like a whirlwind, looking at the embarrassed Li Le and Hu Cai, and laughing:
"It's really a busy job, master, it turned out that he was pretending to be a soldier and tied me up to see the general!"
