"Brothers! You can't go any further, everyone follow me and retreat to the path on the right! Before Yang Yun brought someone to rescue Yao Xia, he observed the road along the way, looking for a way to escape at a critical time, but he didn't expect it to really come in handy now.

Yang Yun led the remaining Dafu soldiers along the trail and ran forward, although the trail was hidden, its path was narrow, and it could accommodate up to two people to pass side by side. Therefore, the more than 200 people led by Yang Yun were stretched in a long line.

Seeing Yang Yun, he still wanted to escape, how could Zhao Kuo, who was bent on catching him, give up. After hastily bringing the two groups together, he led the people down the path as fast as he could.

With so many people walking down a narrow path, of course, the speed can't be fast. After a while, the soldiers of Chu and Yu Yue caught up with Da Fu's team and attacked them from behind.

"Young master! You go quickly, I'll take some people here to break off. Seeing that the enemy was catching up, Yao Xia came to Yang Yun's side and said to him eagerly.

"How's that going to work? We came out of Wu County together, and we had to go back together. Yang Yun was very moved in his heart, but his tone was very firm.

"What did you say, young master? You are our backbone, only if you live, you will have a chance to avenge your brothers! Yao Xia said as he pushed Yang Yun forward.

"Your Highness, Lord Yao, don't fight between the two of you, you all quickly retreat, and let me stay here with my injured brother." A voice suddenly came from behind him, Yang Yun and the others turned around and saw that it was a dark and thin young man who spoke.

This young man Yang Yun knew, his name was Cheng Erniu, and he was met by Yang Yun when he was on an envoy to Liuyi last time and passed through Quanzhou.

At that time, Yang Yun used his superb medical skills to treat an old man who fainted because he hadn't eaten for several days, and the grandson of this old man was Cheng Erniu.

Cheng Erniusi's family has lived in Quanzhou for generations, and his parents died early, so he and his grandfather depended on each other together, so he had a deep relationship with his grandfather.

A noble prince from the imperial city actually saved his grandfather, an old man with a low status. All this made Cheng Erniu incredible and very moved.

Therefore, since the day of the fight, Cheng Erniu has regarded Yang Yun as the benefactor of his family. Yang Yun was in danger on the boat that day, and he ran to report to Yang Yun as soon as possible.

Later, after Yang Yun escaped, he gave Cheng Erniu a lot of property and hoped that he would follow him. But Cheng Erniu couldn't walk with Yang Yun because he was worried about his elderly grandfather.

Later, not long after Yang Yun and others returned to Xijing City, Cheng Erniu's grandfather died of illness. Before he died, this simple old man was still explaining to his grandson that he must repay this prince who has been very kind to their family.

After burying his grandfather, Cheng Erniu sold all the things of the family and went to Xijing City alone.

Cheng Erniu went through hardships and dangers all the way, and finally came to the Wu Wangfu in Xijing City and became a guard under Yang Yun.

Later, this Cheng Erniu also went to participate in the battle with Chu with Yang Yun, and accumulated rich experience in the battle, and now he is the next centurion of Yang Yun and very brave in battle.

"Your Highness! Erniu has been injured, and staying in the team will also drag everyone's hind legs, let me break the back, so that the other brothers can leave safely. Cheng Erniu said sincerely.

"Yes, we are all injured, we can't run fast, if we are caught by them, there is still only a dead end, it is better to stay and fight with them now." There were some wounded again, and beside Yang Yun, they said loudly.

"No, I can't

No, leaving the brothers to escape alone, I Yang Yun won't do such a thing. To die, we will die together. Yang Yun said resolutely.

"Your Highness, if you don't have time, you should retreat! If you don't leave Erniu, you will die in front of you, anyway, if you don't take care of Your Highness, even if you go to Jiuquan, grandpa won't be able to spare me. Cheng Erniu pulled out the short knife on his waist and said excitedly.

"Please Your Highness, listen to the brothers, you can get out of here first! If you don't leave, we will all die in front of you. More than twenty wounded Dafu soldiers beside him shouted together, and they all pressed the short knife at their waist against their necks.

"Okay, I'll go!" Yang Yun shouted fiercely, and tears immediately blurred his eyes.

Continuing to stay here can only increase casualties, Yang Yun has always understood this truth, but he has never been able to give up, these brothers who will never leave in the face of danger.

But now, he had to go, he turned around, knelt down in front of the more than twenty injuries that had been left behind, and said loudly: "Brothers, take care, Yang Yun is gone." ”

After speaking, Yang Yun wiped the tears on his face, immediately stood up and turned around, and ran into the distance without looking back. The Dafu soldiers in the rear, following Yang Yun, rushed forward along the narrow mountain road.

This trail is narrow and inconvenient. But for Cheng Erniu and the others who stayed, it was the best place to stop the enemy.

These more than 20 Dafu soldiers who took the initiative to stay took advantage of the narrow road. The soldiers brought by Zhao Kuo were forced to block the time of the two pillars of incense on the mountain road. Although this time is not long, it is enough for Yang Yun and the others to get rid of the enemy who is closely chasing.

Of course, the price they paid was also heavy, and these more than 20 Dafu warriors, who had already been wounded, threw their lives away in this foreign land.

Cheng Erniu fell to the ground, no longer with a trace of life, but there was a smile on his face. Perhaps, at this time, he has already met his grandfather in heaven and his parents who died young!

Yang Yun took the rest of the Dafu soldiers and successfully escaped. Now I found a hidden place in the mountains and hid it.

After dawn the next day, Yang Yun sent people to reconnoiter around, but found no shadow of the pursuers. They crept out and returned to the bottom of the cliff to join the civil officials and the wounded who had remained there.

Now, Zhao Kuo and his soldiers are still searching for them everywhere, and it is not too safe under this cliff. After Yang Yun consulted with everyone, he decided to withdraw the entire team to Renshou Mountain, where they had been before.

Because this place is high and densely forested, and there are many naturally formed canyons and caves, it is a good place to hide traces, and hiding there will not be discovered by Zhao Kuo and others in a short time.

Yang Yun led more than 200 members of the Dafu delegation to stay in a cave in Renshou Mountain for three days. During these three days, they continued to send people to the outside world to inquire about the news.

Today, news finally came from the front, saying that Zhao Kuo led people to look for Yang Yun and others in the nearby mountains, but he didn't find any clues for a few days, and in desperation, he had to take people back to Yudu City.

However, he sent an order through Queen Li Chengying to ask Yu Yue to step up the investigation of passers-by at various checkpoints in the country, and report immediately if he found clues about Yang Yun and others.

Moreover, Zhao Kuo also told the queen that if he could not succeed in catching Yang Yun and others this time. He would report to the King of Chu and suggest that the King of Chu punish Yue's actions this time.

Although Queen Li Chengying was very angry in her heart, for the safety of the people in Yuyue, she had to obey Zhao Kuo's order and send people to search for Yang Yun and others.

After receiving this information, Yang Yun gathered some important people in the mission together and coordinated with them the next course of action.

After a heated discussion, several plans were formed.

In the first plan, everyone returned to Zheng Guo by the same route, detoured to a narrow section of the border between Chu and Zheng Guo, and returned to Dafu by the same road. But along the way, there are more checkpoints between Yu Yue and Chu State, and there is a certain risk.

The second plan is to leave Yuyue and head northeast, bypassing the territory of Zheng and Chu, crossing a large mountain and reaching Korea near the sea. Then from Korea, take a detour back to Daefu. The road is relatively safe, but the distance is very long, and the detour will be nearly three times the distance.

Others simply proposed a radical solution. The entire team was broken into pieces, entered the hinterland of Chu State, crossed Chu State, and returned directly to Dafu. This road is the closest, but it is particularly risky to travel a long way in the territory of Chu, and even pass through Chuyang City, the king of Chu.

To be sure, all three options had merit, so the people in the mission argued about it, and no one was convinced. In desperation, everyone had to stop the controversy, looked at Yang Yun who was sitting at the top, and waited for him to make the final decision.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yang Yun pondered for a while, and then said, "I'll tell you a story!" ”

See everyone stop. , waiting for himself to continue to tell, Yang Yun told the story in his heart.

Far away from us, a long time ago there was a country called Dahan, and this country was very powerful.

Next to the Great Han Kingdom there is a nomadic nation-state called the Xiongnu, although the national strength is not as strong as the Great Han.

However, the people of this country were very warlike, and often entered the border of the Han Dynasty and robbed the common people of their things, which brought a lot of trouble to the Han Dynasty, and the Han sent many soldiers and horses to attack them, and they ran far away.

There was no way, the king of the Great Han State at that time sent an envoy named Ban Chao to contact Ban Chao, a small country called Shanshan next to the Xiongnu. Prepare to ally with this small country and attack the Xiongnu together.

When Ban Chao arrived in Shanshanguo, King Shanshan was very warm to them at first, and the etiquette for receiving them was very complete. But it didn't take long. King Shanshan suddenly changed his attitude towards them, became distant and slack, and in the end, he even sent troops to monitor Ban Chao.

Ban Chao keenly felt all this, and immediately sent someone to inquire about the news, but someone soon reported that it was the Xiongnu who also sent an envoy to Shanshan, and the king of Shanshan intended to form an alliance with the Xiongnu.

After getting the news, Ban Chao immediately convened everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Ban Chao said: "Only by getting rid of the Xiongnu envoys can we dispel the doubts of the Shanshan people and reconcile the two countries." ”

However, there were not many people in Banchao, while the Huns were strong and strong, and the defense was tight.

So, Ban Chao said: "Don't look at the number of Huns, as the so-called don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger." We took advantage of the darkness to go to the camp of the Huns, secretly set a fire, and then took advantage of the chaos to kill all the Hun envoys. Then carry the head to see King Shanshan, cut off his thoughts, and we are done. ”

Late that night, Ban Chao took his soldiers to sneak to the Hun camp, and they were divided into two ways, one with war drums to hide behind the camp, and the other with bows, arrows, knives and guns in hand on both sides of the camp.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Ban Chao gave an order, and the soldiers set fire to the tent while beating drums and shouting. The Huns were in chaos, and as a result, they were all burned to death by fire and killed by random arrows.

After King Shanshan understood the truth, he had no choice but to reconcile with Ban Chao and sign an alliance with Dahan.
