Zhang Liao was surrounded by Xu Huang's men.

There weren't many of these centaurs he left behind, but they were all the elite under his command, and they were the first to follow him and be willing to serve as dead soldiers.

Xu Huang chased after Zhang Liao with his men and horses, fought with Zhang Liao's men and horses for a while, and after killing more than half of the dead soldiers around Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao and these people already felt the strength of the enemy army.

There weren't many of them left near Baqiu, and Zhang Liao didn't plan to continue fighting Xu Huang here.

Just thinking about how to escape from here, Xu Huang had already gradually approached Zhang Liao.

"Zhang Liao, you can be arrested. Liu Biao and Ding Yuan are gone, and now surrender, I can still read that you are a talent, and I will promote you to serve Your Majesty! ”

Xu Huang thinks that Zhang Liao is still a talent, if such a talent can be used by Liu Zheng, it is a good thing for Liu Zheng.

However, obviously, Zhang Liao is not a repeated villain, and it is impossible to abandon the dark and turn to the light with Xu Huang's words.

After Zhang Liao heard Xu Huang's words, he just sneered.

He snorted coldly at Xu Huang, and then immediately let the dead soldiers around him continue to increase the intensity of the attack, and began to break through from Xu Huang's encirclement.

Originally, Zhang Liao only had less than 1,000 people left, and it was impossible to break through and leave in the midst of Xu Huang's army, but after Xu Huang gave the order to capture him alive, those soldiers on the battlefield were not so hard.

Zhang Liao relied on his own means of commanding men and horses, repeatedly sent people to block the attack of Xu Huang's soldiers, and after a fight, he fought his way out of the siege of Xu Huang and others, and escaped from outside the city of Baqiu County.

Zhang Liao led dozens of people under his command to retreat from here first, and Liu Qi had already retreated from here to the vicinity of Jiangling. By the time they met, a day had passed.

They retreated from the county town of Baqiu to the vicinity of Gangneung. Tens of thousands of troops really escaped, but there were only more than 20,000 left.

The 20,000 remnants of the army were heading to the vicinity of Jiangling County, and Liu Qi was waiting for Zhang Liao's return all the way.

It's just that along the way, they also began to realize that something was wrong. In the vicinity of Huarong, there should be a lot of their soldiers and horses. But they walked for so long, and they didn't meet a familiar person.

After realizing that this was most likely not the soldiers and horses on his side, it was possible that the county seat of Jiangling had been lost and occupied by Liu Zheng's soldiers and horses, and Liu Qi and Zhang Liao began to fall into deep thought.

Especially Zhang Liao, during the battle with Xu Huang under the city of Baqiu County, he learned from Xu Huang's mouth that Jiangling and Xiangyang had entered the hands of Liu Zheng.

It's just that when he heard the news, he couldn't accept it at that time, and he just thought that Xu Huang was lying to him and wanted him to give up resistance and make a conspiracy.

But now, when he led his men and horses to the Jiangling territory, he didn't see the soldiers and horses on his side at all, and some of them were stationed under Liu Zheng's army, which made Zhang Liao faintly suspicious and began to realize whether Jiangling and Xiangyang had really been lost.

"General Wenyuan. We didn't meet a single soldier of our kind along the way. Do you think there are any reinforcements from us near the county town of Gangneung? ”

Liu Qi felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't confirm it for a while, so he could only introduce the topic to Zhang Liao, trying to get some comfort from Zhang Liao's mouth.

At this time, Zhang Liao also had a dignified face, and he had just experienced a big war, and he was still a little embarrassed.

"Brother Liu, when I was fighting with those Liu Zheng's men and horses outside Baqiu County just now, those Liu Zheng's men told me a not very good news. At the time, I only thought that they deliberately said this in order to disturb the morale of our army, but now that I have seen the situation near Gangneung County, I think it is possible. What they say is true. ”

"What's the news?"

Liu Qi's eyes immediately widened and asked Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao did not hesitate, when Liu Qi asked. I immediately explained it to him.

When Liu Qi heard Zhang Liao say that Jiangling and Xiangyang City were occupied by Liu Zheng's men, he was immediately shocked. Immediately showed a look of disbelief, after all, it was his father Liu Biao who was stationed in Jiangling and Xiangyang City.

If it is true, as Zhang Liao said, Xiangyang is also occupied by Liu Zheng's men and horses, then his father Liu Biao is only afraid that he will be more auspicious.

"General Wenyuan. What you're saying can't be true, right? ”

Liu Qi looked at Zhang Liao suspiciously, expecting Zhang Liao to tell him that the news was not true.

But after Zhang Liao's solemn face nodded, Liu Qi's whole person became ugly.

"I don't want to believe it, but now that it's like this, most of the news is true."

Zhang Liao gave Liu Qi an answer, which immediately made Liu Qi's expression even more pale.

"But Brother Liu, we haven't decided yet, so you don't have to worry too much."

"But, General Wenyuan, when you say this, how can I rest assured."

"Don't, this place is not far from Jiangling County, as long as we arrive at Jiangling County to take a look, can't we be sure that what Liu Zheng's subordinates said is true or false?"

"That's what I said, then let's not stay here longer, let's go directly to Gangneung, I want to confirm the truth of this news as soon as possible."

Liu Qi was worried about his father, so he didn't plan to say anything to Zhang Liao here, thinking about rushing to Jiangling as soon as possible.

Not to mention Liu Qi, even Zhang Liao himself is also more concerned about this news, after all, no matter what he says now, he is just a Jiangling under Ding Yuan, if something happens to Ding Yuan, Zhang Liao and Liu Qi's feelings are no different.

When Liu Qi said that he wanted to hurry as soon as possible, Zhang Liao naturally agreed immediately, and then everyone continued to look in the direction of Jiangling County.

And not long after they left here, Xu Huang led Liu Zheng's pursuers to arrive here.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Liao and that Liu Qi's men and horses should have only been gone for a long time, we continue to pursue, and we should be able to catch up with them when they rush to Jiangling!"

This time, Liu Zheng also followed Xu Huang and others to pursue Zhang Liao together.

Looking at the traces left by these horses, Liu Zheng was not worried.

"Well, Zhang Liao and that Liu Qi can't escape from our Wuzhi Mountain, continue to pursue, and when they arrive in Jiangling, they should know that Ding Yuan and Liu Biao have been arrested by us."

"When the time comes, they can't help but surrender, and even if they don't, those soldiers won't want to fight hard."
