Volume 5 The Flame of the Burning Han Chapter 23 Same Bed, Different Dreams
In the depths of the gloomy dense forest, Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Hua Xiong and others were sitting or lying, trying to regain their energy after fierce battles and long-distance travel.
Wen Chou was leaning against a big tree and was closing his eyes to recuperate, when his eyes suddenly opened, he looked towards the deep forest, and said with a slight smile: "Ji Ling is back!" ”
Everyone got up one after another and greeted Ji Ling, who was full of exhaustion.
"Something is wrong!" As soon as Ji Ling spoke, everyone's faces changed, and he said solemnly: "I saw the masters of the Bingzhou army, there are about hundreds of people, one of the leaders is Zhang Liao, and the other should be Lu Bu....... although they collided with Nanying, they did not catch fire as we expected!" ”
"Could it be that with hundreds of them, they don't dare to shake the Southern Eagle?" Hua Xiong said in disbelief: "Not to mention whether Lu Bu is really as powerful as the legend, that Zhang Liao, who is also a young master of the famous party, how could he not do it?" ”
"I hid in the distance and looked into the distance, and saw the person who seemed to be Lu Bu and Nan Ying sitting opposite each other, as if they were talking and laughing!" Ji Ling was also a little shocked and said: "Then, Lu Bu's side went east, but Nanying and Miss Ma Jia went north....... what is even more strange is that those people from the Bohai Navy's Wild Beast Camp also disappeared without a trace!" ”
"What? There are quirks! Several people shouted in unison.
"Could it be that Ding Yuan has reached an alliance with Nanying?" Hua Xiong said with a chill in his heart: "Then, our situation is even worse!" ”
"The Southern Eagle is going north?" Yan Liang said thoughtfully: "Since his receiving troops have also arrived, and Ding Yuan does not want to be his enemy, shouldn't he retreat eastward to the Bohai Sea?" In this way, we really don't have a chance again! ”
"So, we still have a chance?" Ji Ling said with joy on his face: "Please show Brother Yan!" He was worried about himself in his heart, not only did he not build an inch of success on this trip, but he also lost his troops and lost his generals, and even Lei Bo's life and death were unknown. Yuan Shu was afraid that he would not be easily forgiven by him...... It would be best if we could finally accomplish our mission.
"Nanying is heading north, obviously to cross the Yellow River and enter the border of Hebei!" Yan Liang smiled bitterly: "At that time, whether he plunges headlong into the vast Taihang Mountain for hundreds of miles, or returns to the Bohai Sea along the Yellow River eastward, we can only do nothing in vain, and we can no longer do anything!" ”
"It's a pity!" He let out a long sigh and said abruptly: "If we can have a force of our soldiers and horses stationed in the Yellow River, we can cut them off!" ”
"Crossing the Yellow River?" A strange look suddenly flashed on Hua Xiong's face. He took out a hand-drawn sketch from his arms, read it carefully, and suddenly laughed wildly: "It's time for Nanying to have this fate!" ”
"How?" Everyone was moved together: "Could it be that General Dong Zhuo had such foresight to set up an ambush on the side of the Yellow River in advance?" ”
"Not really!" Hua Xiong said slowly: "It's just that the contemptible lord is sending a general in our army to lead a thousand troops and escort important prisoners to Wushejin on the Yellow River....... you look at the map, if Nanying goes all the way north, isn't it going to Wushejin?" ”
"Great!" Wen Chou and Ji Ling shouted together: "Just ask Brother Hua to immediately try to inform the general of your army!" ”
"General Hua....... although it is very inappropriate to ask such a question!" Yan Liang looked at Hua Xiong deeply: "But you and I live and die together all the way, and it can be regarded as brothers." Can you give the name of the general of your army? And who is the important culprit? ”
"That general is my colleague below, the famous fierce general Guo Yan in the Xiliang Army!" Hua Xiong hesitated slightly, and finally said: "As for that famous criminal, please forgive me for not revealing it!" ”
"Understood....... Yan Liang said with relief: "It's abrupt!" Time is urgent. Can you ask General Hua to immediately inform General Guo Yan and ask him to cooperate with us in encircling Nanying in Wushejin? ”
Hua Xiong checked the map carefully again before nodding and saying, "If you immediately send someone to take a shortcut out of the mountain, you will be able to rush to Wushejin with a fast horse." Should be fine...... If Nanying wants to use the mountains and forests as a cover, the speed of travel must be far inferior to that of horses! ”
"There is Brother Laohua...... Wen Chou, you can also arrange it. Send a few brothers to send Gao Ran back to the imperial capital! Yan Liang nodded, patted Wen Chou, and walked towards Gao Ran under the tree in the distance: "His injuries are not light, and if he follows us, not only may he worry about his life, but also seriously affect our pursuit speed!" ”
Hua Xiong and Ji Ling all nodded when they heard it. Although Gao Ran's skills are not weak, he has become a burden after being injured.
Gao Ran looked at Yan Liang walking in front of him, bowed his head with a red face, and said, "Brother Yan, brother has dragged you down......"
"Don't get me wrong!" Yan Liang smiled and leaned over, leaning in front of Gao Ran, the people standing in the distance were all comforting Gao Ran, only Gao Ran and Wen Chou heard Yan Liang's whispers clearly, and couldn't help but change color slightly.
I only heard Yan Liang lower his voice and said: "You must immediately rush back to Luoyang as soon as possible and report the situation here to the lord...... Dong Zhuojun Guo Yan 1,000 soldiers and horses approached Wushejin, escorting unknown important people and criminals, please send good hands from all over the place, you must grab this person! ”
He saw Gao Ran suddenly look up at him, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he couldn't help laughing: "How can I despise Yuanbo? Who doesn't know you're a tough guy! ”
After speaking, Yan Liang immediately lowered his voice again and said: "Dong Zhuo has a limited number of soldiers and horses, and he still does not hesitate to send a thousand people to escort him, and his subordinates are in the top three Guo Yan personally commanding, this person must be a big deal...... Yuanbo must be clear to the lord! ”
"Okay!" Gao Lan's body trembled slightly, but he finally came back to his senses and made a gloomy face: "Thank you Brother Yan for your relief...... It's all up to you, little brother, farewell! ”
Wen Chou stood beside Yan Liang, watching several subordinates support Gao Ran away, and couldn't help but whisper: "Brother, I didn't expect you to have this mind...... I only say that you have regarded Huaxiong and the others as friends in distress! ”
"Childish!" Yan Liang said lightly: "Whether it is Huaxiong or Ji Ling, we are all our own masters, and we may become enemies of life and death at any time....... even if the love between individuals is deep, it is just a small righteousness, and we will never shake the principle of either friend or enemy, this is the great righteousness!" ”
Wen Chou stared at Yan Liang's expressionless face in a daze, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
On the other side of the forest, Wang Fang followed closely behind Hua Xiong, listening to his loud command and dispatch of the remaining seven or eight subordinates, the two fastest light masters were like arrows from the string, galloping away along the planned route out of the mountain, and the others were also ready to continue the deep pursuit.
Wang Fang finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Boss! Why are you lying to General Yan? ”
"Oh?" Hua Xiong said quietly: "Did I lie? ”
"Of course!" Wang Fang hesitated a little and said: "There are at least two thousand men and horses sent by the lord to Wushejin, and there are also two generals, Fan Chou and Zhang Ji!" Why would the boss say it so lightly? ”
"Why? To stabilize them, of course! Hua Xiong let out a low sneer: "Otherwise, how dare I easily reveal the lord's major plan to escort the prisoners?" ”
"What!" Wang Fang's voice trembled in shock: "Old, boss! You want to clean them up too! ”
"You kid is confused!" Hua Xiong said fiercely: "Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both witty people, and their kung fu is not under me...... How can such a great enemy not be removed? Otherwise, if we face the enemy in the future, maybe you and I will die at their hands! ”
"It's that Ji Ling, and it's not an idle person!" A sharp smile broke out of his mouth: "There is also that Lei Bo, and the skill of taming dogs with one hand is even more terrifying...... Good thing he's dead! ”
"Something that doesn't make a living!" Hua Xiong looked at Wang Fang, who was gradually turning blue and white, and scolded: "Look at Li Meng, he is already ready!" ”
Wang Fang looked at Li Meng in surprise, but saw that Li Meng was putting a polished flying knife into his waist, and slowly turned his head to show a solemn smile to himself.
"Qiaorui, how are your injuries?" Farther away, Ji Ling collected the sound into a bunch and sent it into Qiao Rui's ears.
"It's just a wound of flesh!" Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "What's wrong?" ”
"Remember, you must pretend to be injured and struggle along the way!" Ji Ling's somewhat restless gaze swept over the four or five remaining subordinates near and far, and said, "Can we go back alive...... Maybe it's up to you to perform! ”
"Say, what did you say?" Qiao Rui was shocked, he raised half of his body with some difficulty, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you hinting at?" ”
"In a battle with the Bohai Navy, we suffered the worst losses among the three parties, and even more painfully lost Lei Bo!" Ji Ling's lips moved lightly: "Our current use value and threat have been reduced to a minimum...... I just hope that they can ignore our existence when they move their hands! Therefore, I want you to pretend that you are seriously injured and far away at the back of the team, as long as there is infighting, we will immediately run away! ”
"Won't it?" Qiao Rui's eyes were full of fear: "The strong enemy is still there, how dare they kill each other at this time?" ”
"You're wrong! If the state army and the Bohai navy still do not retreat, of course they will not dare! Ji Ling said indifferently: "But now that Dong Zhuojun has set a plan for Wushejin to besiege and kill Nanying, then the final moment of the poor dagger is about to come!" As soon as Nanying dies, the battle of the whole world will be a life-and-death battle between Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan and the lord's brothers! “
He took a deep breath and said bitterly: "Several parties are competing for power, and the weakest side is of course losing the initiative, and can only protect itself with all its might...... At that time, the lord and his situation will be the same as that of you and my brother at this time! (To be continued......)
