Yuan Shao grabbed an arrow from the box on the table, and said to Yan Liangwen and Chou: "The two of you lead 5,000 troops to recall Jiang Qi, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others, if there is any pushing, kill immediately!" ”

Yan Liang stepped forward to take the arrow and replied in a loud voice: "The last general has orders!" ”

After Yan Liangwen and Chou walked out of the big tent in a big stride, Yuan Shao gritted his teeth and said: "Han family child, what virtue can you have, you can let so many people go to you!" ”

"My lord, please calm your anger." Seeing Yuan Shao's angry look, Feng Ji hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "As long as there are two generals, Yan Liangwen and Chou, Jiang Qi and the others can only be arrested." As long as the three of them are punished, see who dares to defect to the Han family in the future. ”

Yuan Shao still has unconditional trust in Yan Liangwen's ugly ability, otherwise he would not have crusaded against Dong Zhuo in the Eighteenth Route Princes, and when he encountered Huaxiong who couldn't fight for a long time, he issued "It's a pity that my superior general Yan Liangwen Chou has not arrived, and he has to be alone here, why be afraid of Huaxiong!" Feelings. Hearing Feng Ji say this at this moment, his mood suddenly improved a lot, he nodded, and said, "Since this is the case, then we will continue to discuss how to attack the city." ”

Jiang Qi, Lü Kuang, and Lü Xiang had long been ready to leave, and after getting Yuan Shao's permission, they hurriedly left the camp with the army. And after Yan Liangwen Chou received the order, he had to reassemble the soldiers and horses, and when the two of them led the troops out of the camp, Jiang Qi and their military horses were already five miles away.

Although the soldiers were already trotting all the way, Jiang Qi was still urging: "Hurry up, move faster!" ”

Lu Kuang saw that the soldiers were running out of breath, and he couldn't bear it, so he said to Jiang Qi: "Captain Jiang, we have been five miles away from the camp, presumably even if Yuan Shao sends someone to chase us, he will not be able to catch up with us." ”

"No," Hearing Lu Kuang say this, Jiang Qi turned his face and said: "Before we join up with the soldiers and horses sent by Tinghou, we must not take it lightly, once Yuan Shao sends someone to chase after us, you and I will not be able to save our lives!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Qi had said that the matter was so serious, Lu Kuang could not refute him, so he could only urge his subordinates to speed up the march and rush to the place where Huang Zhong had robbed the grain at full speed.

A tun commander on duty on the Guantao city wall, seeing that a large group of soldiers and horses from the Yuan camp in the distance was out of the camp and heading towards the southwest, he hurriedly sent one of his soldiers to report to Han Zhan. Han Zhan glanced at the map on the table, and said to Guo Jia with a smile: "Fengxiao, it seems that Jiang Qi pulled the soldiers and horses out of the camp, and it won't be long before they can join Captain Huang." ”

Guo Jia heard that Jiang Qi's soldiers and horses had left the Yuan camp, but there was no expression of surprise on his face. He instructed the soldiers who came to report the news: "Go back and tell your tun commander, continue to closely monitor Yuan Ying, and report any abnormal movement immediately!" ”

After waiting for the soldiers to leave, Han Zhan asked Guo Jia with some puzzlement: "Fengxiao, what are you worried about?" ”

"Yuan Shao has many strategists, and the defection of Jiang Qi, Lu Kuang and others will definitely be detected." Guo Jia explained to Han Zhan: "I just took precautions. Once there is any trouble, it is necessary to send additional troops and horses to the rescue. ”

"Fengxiao, you're too worried." Hearing Guo Jia say this, Han Zhan smiled and said, "Jiang Qi and the Lu brothers have 8,000 soldiers and horses, plus Captain Huang's 3,000 cavalry, with a total strength of tens of thousands. Without one or two thousand soldiers and horses trying to defeat them, it is simply impossible. If Yuan Shao dispatched so many soldiers and horses, the camp would definitely fall into chaos. ”

Less than half an hour later, the soldier who reported the news appeared in the Taishou Mansion again, and he knelt down on one knee and reported to Han Zhanyu: "Report, there is another army out of the Yuan camp!" ”

"How many soldiers and horses are there?" Guo Jia hurriedly asked.

"Back to Mr. Guo's words," the soldier knew that Guo Jia was Han Zhan's trusted advisor, and hurriedly replied, "There are about 5,000 men and horses." ”

"Lord, it seems that Jiang Qi and their intentions were detected by Yuan Shao, so they sent soldiers and horses to chase them." Guo Jia said a little anxiously: "With Jia's estimate, Yuan Shao will definitely send Yan Liangwen and Chou to chase Jiang Qi, although Captain Huang is outstanding in martial arts, but it is still too strong for him to deal with Yan Liangwen and Chou at the same time." ”

"Even if Captain Huang can only deal with one of Yan Liangwen and Chou, Jiang Qi and them are enough to deal with the other person." Dian Wei felt that Guo Jia's statement was a bit alarmist, so he said disapprovingly: "Mr. Guo doesn't have to worry so much. ”

And when Han Zhan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, others didn't know how ugly Yan Liangwen was, but he knew better than anyone else. Xu Huang and Zhang Liao are considered to be the top generals under Cao Cao, but they are not Yan Liangwen's opponents.

Thinking of this, he got up and said to Zhao Yun, "General Zilong! ”

Zhao Yun heard Han Zhan shouting to himself, and hurriedly bowed down to salute: "What does the lord command?" ”

"General Zilong." Han Zhan felt that if Zhao Yun came out and fought against Yan Liangwen Chou with Huang Zhong, the chances of winning were still quite high, so he ordered: "You immediately lead five hundred cavalry, rush to join Huang Xiaowei, and rescue Jiang Qi and the others by the way." ”

After Zhao Yun received Han Zhan's order, he couldn't help but hesitate, because the remaining five hundred cavalry in the city were specially used to protect Han Zhan's safety, and once this cavalry was taken away, the guards around Han Zhan would be seriously insufficient. Because after he was silent for a while, he said tentatively: "Lord, these five hundred cavalry are specially used to protect your safety, if Yun takes ...... away"

"General Zilong rest assured." Han Zhan said in a businesslike tone: "I have thousands of troops and horses in the city to protect me, and it is not so easy for Yuan Shao to attack the city. Time is pressing, you should take someone with you immediately. ”

…………

Huang Zhong killed the soldiers who were escorting the grain and grass, and then defeated Han Meng and fled, taking Yuan Shao's grain and grass. A hundred people will ask Huang Zhong for instructions: "Captain Huang, what should we do with this batch of grain and grass, are we setting fire to it?" ”

"What, set it on fire?" When Huang Zhong heard what the hundred generals said, he immediately glared at him and said, "One hundred thousand grains are enough for the Tao garrison to eat for two months, and you actually said that a fire will be burned." It's really a cub who sells Ye Tian and doesn't feel distressed. ”

The hundred generals who were scolded by Huang Zhong grinned and replied: "Captain Huang doesn't know, the grain stored in Guantao City is enough for the defenders to eat for five years, and there is not much grain and grass in this batch, and there is a lot of grain and grass in this batch. How to deal with it, I also asked Captain Huang to come up with a charter. ”

Huang Zhong looked left and right, and ordered: "I see that a lot of people who are driving the car are still there, you let them come out and continue to drive the car, and we will go back to the pavilion." ”

The cavalry escorted the grain convoy and marched less than ten miles in the direction of Guantao, when a scout came over and reported to Huang Zhong: "Captain Huang, there is smoke and dust in the northeast, I am afraid that a large group of soldiers and horses are coming!" ”

Huang Zhong looked in the direction that Tanma said, and saw that there was a faint smoke and dust, and after a little groaning, he opened his mouth and ordered: "Leave a thousand men and horses to escort the grain cart and continue to move forward, and the rest will come with me!" ”

After walking more than two miles in the direction of smoke and dust, Huang Zhong saw an army of foot soldiers rushing towards his position, and he hurriedly shouted: "Set up a formation, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

When they lined up in formation, the other party actually slowed down, rushed out of the queue, and rushed towards Huang Zhong and them. Huang Zhong guessed that it might be the person he was waiting for, so he hurriedly rode out of the battle and greeted the comer.

When they were more than a dozen paces away, they both grabbed the reins of their horses. The military general on the opposite side with a helmet and armor arched his hand towards Huang Zhong and asked politely, "Is Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng on the other side?" ”

"Exactly down there." Hearing the other party's question, Huang Zhong guessed that the opposite side was Jiang Qi, who he wanted to answer, put the big knife in his hand on the saddle, and said politely: "The person who came is Jiang Qi and Captain Jiang?" ”

After the two verified each other's identities, Jiang Qi beckoned to the back, and the brothers Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang also rode over. When several people were talking, suddenly one of Jiang Qi's subordinates rode over and said loudly to Jiang Qi and them: "Captain Qi, General Yan and General Wen have rushed over from behind with 5,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Hearing that Yan Liangwen Chou led the troops to catch up, Jiang Qi and the others were suddenly shocked into a cold sweat. Jiang Qi muttered: "Yan Liangwen is here, how is this good, but how is it good?" ”

"Captain Jiang," Seeing the panicked expressions of Jiang Qi and the others, Huang Zhong was full of contempt for them in his heart. However, thinking of his task, which was to pick them up, he still said to the three of them enthusiastically: "You first take the soldiers and horses to escort the grain cart towards the pavilion Tao, and Yan Liangwen and they will be dealt with by Huang." ”

"In this case, thank you Captain Huang." Huang Zhong's words were like a sound of heaven to Jiang Qi and them, and the three of them arched their hands towards Huang Zhong on horseback, urging their soldiers and horses to speed up, pass through the passage that Huang Zhong had made way for them, and rush to join the cavalry escorting the grain carts.

Jiang Qi and the others had just left, and Wen Chou arrived with soldiers and horses. He didn't see Jiang Qi and the others, but he saw Huang Zhong, the enemy was very red when he saw each other, he urged his mount, waved the spear in his hand and rushed over.

Huang Zhong saw Wen Chou rushing towards him, raised his big knife to meet him, and shouted: "I must divide the victory and defeat with you today." "The two rushed to one place, you slashed me, you stabbed me, and the fight was inextricable.

The two sides fought for more than 40 rounds, and there was still no winner. And at this moment, Yan Liang arrived with the rear team, and saw that Wen Chou and Huang Zhong were inseparable, so he hurriedly shouted: "Wen Chou, I'm here to help you!" ”

Huang Zhong's martial arts are slightly better than Wen Chou, but to distinguish the winner from the loser, it will take at least two or three hundred rounds. Seeing Yan Liang rushing over, Huang Zhong couldn't help but be secretly surprised. After he and Yan Liang passed two moves, he found that Yan Liang's martial arts were not under Wen Chou, even if he fought alone, it would be difficult for him to take advantage in a short period of time, not to mention that there were two people opposite.

After Huang Zhong and Yan Liangwen Chou fought for eighty rounds, they gradually gained the upper hand, and he muttered in his heart: "Yuan's army is powerful, once I am defeated, they only need to wave their troops to cover the kill, and my cavalry will suffer a big loss." No, we have to keep it up. Thinking of this, he shook his spirits and accelerated the speed of wielding the big knife, so that Yan Liangwen couldn't help himself.

However, the speed of the dancing knife is fast, which will lead to a rapid decrease in physical strength. After only a dozen moves, Huang Zhong felt a little panting, and the sweat on his forehead also flowed down his face. Seeing Huang Zhong's situation, Yan Liang couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he shouted at Wen Chou: "He can't support it anymore!" ”

Wen Chou heard Yan Liang's shout, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and the speed of the gun was faster, and in just seven or eight moves, Huang Zhong was in danger. Huang Zhong couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking in his heart: My life is over!

At this critical moment, a familiar shout suddenly came from a distance: "Hansheng, don't panic, wait for me to come to help you!" ”

After Huang Zhong blocked Yan Liang's slash, he turned his head to look, only to see Zhao Yun, who was in white armor and white armor, riding his night jade lion, holding a gentian bright silver spear rushing towards this side.

Wen Chou saw that he was about to defeat Huang Zhong, and suddenly a person appeared from the side, and hurriedly rushed forward with a gun, ready to stab Zhao Yun under the horse with one shot. In the face of the shot he stabbed, Zhao Yun blocked it with the gun in his hand, and he defused his must-kill move.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. Wen Chou stabbed the air with a shot, and found that the martial arts of the coming general were actually above him, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. However, he still fought with Zhao Yun head-on, buying time for Yan Liang to defeat Huang Zhong. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhao Yun's martial arts were higher than he imagined, and the other party stabbed seven times in a row, beating him to the point where he only had the ability to parry and had no power to fight back.

Wen Chou knew that he was not Zhao Yun's opponent, and after parrying a shot from Zhao Yun's stabbing shot, he turned his horse and fled to his main formation. Zhao Yun hurriedly urged the horse to chase after him. When Wen Chou was still more than thirty steps away from the main formation, Zhao Yun was only half a horse away from Wen Chou, and he raised the gun in his hand and rushed forward. only heard Wen Chou's scream, and was actually picked by Zhao Yun under the horse.

Without waiting for Zhao Yun to make up another shot, more than a dozen pikemen rushed out of the formation and poked at Zhao Yun. Taking advantage of Zhao Yun's parry, the two soldiers bent down and dragged Wen Chou, who was injured and fell from his horse, back to their main formation. Zhao Yun saw that more and more pikemen were surrounding, and his two fists were invincible to four hands, so he turned around and rushed towards Yan Liang's position.

Yan Liang heard Wen Chou's screams and knew that something had happened to his partner. Hurriedly swung a few knives at Huang Zhong, and while Huang Zhong was dodging, he turned his horse's head and galloped back. Huang Zhong's horsepower was too low to chase after him, so he put down his broadsword, took off his iron-tired bow, and shot an arrow at Yan Liang who was fleeing.

Yan Liang heard the sound of the bowstring behind him, and before he could dodge, he felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and the big knife in his hand couldn't hold it for a while, and it fell to the ground with a bang. Yan Liang was afraid that Huang Zhong would take the opportunity to chase after him, so he didn't dare to turn back, so he could only lower his body, hug the horse's neck with his left hand, and desperately fled into the battle.

Seeing that Yan Liangwen and Chou were both injured, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong were about to rush into battle, but they were shot back by the bows and arrows in the formation. Yan Liang returned to the formation and shouted loudly: "The rear army becomes the front army, retreat quickly, retreat!" ”
