After Han Zhan and the others left Hangu Pass with their cavalry, they hurried along the official road to catch up with Emperor Han Xian's car. When the sky was about to dawn, Han Zhan suddenly saw a city faintly appearing on the south side of the official road, so he pointed with the horsewhip in his hand and asked Huang Zhong beside him: "Han Sheng, I don't know what city is ahead?" ”

Huang Zhong stared at the city in the distance for a while, and then replied: "Have you forgotten that this is the Luoyang we saw before we rushed to Hangu Pass. In the past, when Dong Zhuo forcibly moved the capital to Chang'an, he set fire to Luoyang. Now that the palace is burned out, the market is barren, and there is artemisia grass all over the eyes, it is estimated that there are no people in the city, so let's continue to hurry. ”

Han Zhan knew very well in his heart that Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses would soon chase after them, and there was no need to go to a barren Luoyang at such a time, so he urged the soldiers and horses to continue to hurry, preparing to rush to the Yellow River ferry at noon and cross the river back to Jizhou.

When they arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River, they found that there was not a single boat here. Han Zhan suddenly had an ominous feeling in his heart, if there was no ship, when Li Dao and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses caught up, his three thousand cavalry would all be explained here. Thinking of this, he hurriedly called Huang Zhong and ordered: "Han Sheng, you lead people to search for boats along the river, and you must find the boats before dark, otherwise as soon as Li Guo's soldiers and horses arrive, we will be unable to escape." Huang Zhong left Han Zhan with a thousand men and horses, and he led two thousand cavalry down the river to search for ships.

Han Zhan hurried all night and felt tired and tired, so he found a hillside to rest, let the cavalry unload their armor and rest, and saddled the war horses and put them on the hillside to graze. Hearing Han Zhan's arrangement, the military marquis hurriedly persuaded him: "The lord can't, if the war horse is scattered on the hillside, if the thieves come, our army will not be able to wear the armor and saddle in time, and please take back the lord's life." ”

Regarding the persuasion of the military marquis, Han Zhan waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "Our army has been on the road all night, and now the people are sleepy and the horses are lacking, if we don't hurry up and rest and feed the horses, when the thieves catch up, where can our war horses still run?" ”

Seeing that Han Zhan was stubborn, the military marquis was not easy to persuade again, so he had to return to his song and instructed the sergeants to be more vigilant, and once they found that a thief was approaching, they would immediately prepare to meet the enemy.

About two hours later, Huang Zhong sent someone to report back, saying that twenty miles downstream, he had found a group of ships that could cross the river with 3,000 cavalry, and asked Han Zhan to rush over with his soldiers and horses immediately.

Just as Han Zhan and the others were about to set off, smoke and dust suddenly rose in the distance. When the experienced military marquis saw it, he shouted: "My lord, the big thing is not good, there is a large group of cavalry, which is coming towards us." ”

Han Zhanxin said that Li Wei's soldiers and horses came so quickly, although he was a little scared in his heart, he still pretended to be calm and asked, "How many soldiers and horses are there?" ”

The marquis stood up with his stirrups on his feet, and looked into the distance with his hands on the pergola. After a while, he sat back on the saddle and said to Han Zhan: "Lord Qiqi, there are at least 10,000 cavalry here, we have few people, we are not their opponents, it is better to rush downstream as soon as possible to join Captain Huang." ”

Fortunately, after resting for two hours, the war horse was full, and the spirit of the man was almost recovered. With Han Zhan's order, thousands of cavalry immediately turned their horses and headed downstream along the river.

Who knew that less than ten miles after running out, on the hill on the right side of the official road, a large number of cavalry suddenly rushed out. Han Zhan was suddenly shocked, and he secretly said in his heart, "Where did these enemies come from? Seeing that the other party had at least three or four thousand cavalry, Han Zhan did not dare to fight, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to speed up in an attempt to get rid of this cavalry.

Unexpectedly, the other party came too fast, and soon rushed close to Han Zhan's queue and began to fire the crossbow arrows in his hand. Rows of crossbow arrows flew like locusts, causing the cavalry beside Han Zhan to be constantly hit by arrows and fall from their horses, and then they were swept under the hooves of the cavalry behind.

Seeing the opposing cavalry rushing into the queue, Han Zhan knew that if he blindly ran away, he could only become a target for others, so he pulled out his sword and fought with the rushing cavalry. After more than half a year of training, Han Zhan's martial arts have made great progress, and he can walk seven or eight to meet under Zhao Yun's hands.

When he had killed five or six of the enemy's cavalry in succession, Rob risked his life to kill him and shouted at him, "My lord, this place is not suitable for a long time, and I will kill you quickly." Han Zhan knew very well that now was not the time to be a hero, so he followed Luo Bu and rushed out to kill.

Seeing that Han Zhan was in danger here, the military marquis also brandished his weapon and wanted to kill him. But after rushing forward a few steps, he was intercepted by a man with a big axe, and before he could fight, he was cut down by the opponent with an axe. After beheading the military marquis, the big man turned his horse's head again and chased after Han Zhan, who was fleeing in embarrassment.

At the critical moment, suddenly a group of people appeared on the official road ahead, led by Huang Zhong, who was sent by Han Zhan to find the ship. When Han Zhan saw Huang Zhong in front of him, he couldn't help but be ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly shouted loudly: "Han Sheng save me!" ”

Huang Zhongce immediately stepped forward, brandished a big knife, intercepted the man who made the axe, and the two fought together. Han Zhan stared at the man who was wielding the axe, silently counting his moves in his heart, secretly guessing in his heart that he would be able to walk a few rounds under Huang Zhong's knife. Who knew that the man's martial arts were skillful, and the two fought for more than 20 rounds in an instant, and they didn't know whether they won or lost.

"It's really not easy for this person to be able to draw with Huang Zhong." Han Zhan saw that Han Zi and Huang Zhong were chess opponents who would meet good talents, and they were inseparable, and he couldn't help but love talents in his heart, and wanted to recruit the other party to his command.

The man who made the axe fight with Huang Zhong a few more times, and finally couldn't support it, and after shaking the axe, he turned the horse and left. Huang Zhong saw that the other party had fled, and hurriedly led the people to follow and chase down, preparing to rescue all the cavalry trapped on the official road.

Han Zhan thought to himself, with Huang Zhong out of the horse, it shouldn't be difficult to rescue those surrounded cavalry. He didn't go to join in the fun, but stayed in place with Rob and seventy or eighty cavalrymen and waited for Huang Zhong and the others to return.

Who knew that Huang Zhong didn't wait, but suddenly killed a team of men and horses from the river, and the word "Yang" was on the banner. Seeing this army of soldiers and horses that seemed to fall from the sky, Han Zhan was really distressed in his heart, and hurriedly ran downstream with the soldiers and horses. Get ready to run to the river and board a boat to cross the river. Although most of the soldiers and horses were on foot, they followed Han Zhan and chased them down.

When Han Zhan came to the river with great effort, he saw that there were a lot of boats parked by the river, and Huang Zhong stayed here with hundreds of cavalry, fighting with a larger number of infantry. Since the cavalry lost its impact velocity, it had no advantage over the upper infantry, but gradually gained the upper hand.

Seeing this situation, Han Zhan finally understood what was going on with the army that came from the river, it turned out that they were going down the river by boat and came here to cut off their retreat. He didn't dare to fight, and hurriedly shouted, "Let's go!" So he took Rob and his relatives and fled in another direction.

Han Zhan was thinking in his heart as he fled, this Jia Xu was really not simple, out of nowhere he conjured up a cavalry, and sent a team of soldiers and horses down the river to cut off his retreat. If this person cannot be taken for his own use in the future, he must be killed.

As he was running away, suddenly a group of men rushed out of front and blocked the road in front of him. A military general armed with a spear shouted loudly: "Han family child, where to escape?" ”

Rob came to Han Zhan's side and asked, "Lord, there is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, what should we do?" ”

"The brave wins!" Looking at the enemy army blocking the way in front of him, Han Zhan's mind suddenly popped up with such a sentence, he knew that he could only break the cauldron now, otherwise he would really die without a place to be buried, so he waved the sword in his hand and shouted: "Kill it!" ”

The soldiers and horses in the array, I didn't expect Han Zhan to lead people to rush, and before they had time to line up in a hurry, they were rushed through a gap by Han Zhan's soldiers and horses. Seeing that Han Zhan and the others had actually rushed over, the military general hurriedly ordered his subordinates to release arrows. A dozen or so cavalrymen who were lagging behind were hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and even Rob was hit by a few arrows in his back.

Don't look at Rob as Han Zhan's subordinate, but Han Zhan has always regarded him as his brother. At this moment, seeing him fall from his horse with an arrow, he roared heartbreakingly, turned the horse's head and wanted to go back to save him, but he was desperately pulled by his horse's reins by his left and right attendants, pulling him to continue to flee for his life.

Han Zhan turned his head to look back, only to see the enemy general leading his soldiers and horses to chase after him, and then looked around and found that there were less than twenty people left by his side. Knowing that if he continued to fight, he would only end up with the destruction of the whole army, so he hurriedly rode his horse and galloped, hoping to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

After saying that Huang Zhong had just rescued the besieged cavalry from the chaotic army, someone came to report: "Captain Qiyu, the big thing is not good, the thieves went down the river by boat, killed the defenders of our army at the ferry, and seized the boat." ”

Huang Zhong couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the lord?" ”

The cavalryman shook his head and said, "I only saw the lord and nearly a hundred horsemen heading south, and I don't know where they are now." ”

Huang Zhong had the intention to immediately lead his troops to the south to look for Han Zhan, but when he saw the smoke and dust in the distance getting closer and closer, he knew that it was impossible to block the army of Li Guo and the others with one or two thousand soldiers and horses under his command, so he could only retreat east with the cavalry, preparing to find a suitable place to cross the river.

The reason why Han Zhan encountered such danger was entirely due to Jia Xu. Before he led the army to Hangu Pass, he saw that Han Zhan and the others were closed, so he had a plan and ordered people to go around Tongguan and go to the back of Hangu Pass, wanting to trap the soldiers and horses in the pass alive.

Unexpectedly, Han Zhan would let Emperor Han Xian take the first step, which made Jia Xu's plan fail. But Jia Xu knew that Han Zhan had already led his troops out of Hangu Pass, so he hurriedly ordered someone to inform Yang Feng, who had detoured to the vicinity of Luoyang, and asked his troops to intercept Han Zhan in two ways. The axe general who led the cavalry and killed Han Zhan and fled was Xu Huang and Xu Gongming. Yang Feng took the soldiers and horses down by boat, cut off Han Zhan's retreat, and robbed Huang Zhong of the ship he had found.

After Li Dao took the soldiers and horses and joined Yang Feng, he asked bluntly, "Do you know where the Han family's children are now?" ”

The military general, who had intercepted Han Zhan but had not intercepted him, hurriedly replied: "General Qiyu, the Han family child broke through the defense of our department and led more than 20 horsemen to the south. The little one led the people to chase for a while, but when he didn't catch up, he came back to report to the general. ”

Who knew that after Li Wei heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he pointed at the military general and said: "I ordered you to block the way of the Han family's children, but you actually let him escape, what is the use of leaving you." Come on, pull him down and behead him. ”

Yang Feng saw that Li Dao was going to kill his subordinates, and was about to open his mouth to plead. However, one of Li Wei's personal soldiers had already rushed over and directly slashed the general under his horse with a sword.

Seeing that Li Dao said that he would kill someone, the generals under Yang Feng were all taken aback. After Li Dao's gaze swept over everyone one by one, he said coldly: "I give you a day, you must catch the Han family's children, whether you live or die." If you can't get someone to come, hum," he said, pointing to the corpse on the ground, "he's what will happen to you." ”

The generals hurriedly replied: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”
