Wang Wei and Cai Mao led the army to attack Zhang Ji's camp in a hurry, and Zhang Ji's soldiers saw that the lord was dead, and they were in chaos, only hundreds of personal soldiers protected Zhang Ji's body, and retreated north while fighting to the death.

Seeing this, Wang Wei said to Cai Mao: "Don't get rid of Zhang Ji's corpse, the general is attacking here, and the last general will lead the army to outflank these remnants from behind!"

Cai Mao nodded: "That's very good!"

Hu Che'er originally led his troops to fight with Liu Biao's general Zhang Yun's army on the right flank, but suddenly heard the shouting of killing in the direction of the Chinese army, and knew that something was wrong, so he immediately personally broke off and led the army to the Chinese army.

Along the way, the remnants of the self-army were seen everywhere, saying that the lord was assassinated, Hu Che'er was shocked when he heard it, and the morale of the army also plummeted.

"General, what now?"

Hu Che'er gritted his teeth: "We must avenge the lord, but now we have to find the lord's body first, and we can't let the enemy take it away!"

After that, Hu Che'er turned around and looked at these soldiers with fireworks on their faces: "We can't let the lord sacrifice in vain, let's rush!"

"Rush!"

"Report to the general, there is a group of men and horses from the west, and they are rushing here with murderous energy!" The herald Pegasus came to report to Cai Mao, who was leading the army to clean up the remnants of the army.

Cai Mao was taken aback: "The remnants of Zhang Ji either fled or surrendered, and this group of people and horses must be Hu Che'er!" Order the whole army, leave those remnants alone for the time being, and gather in formation to prepare to meet the enemy! ”

"General, is it Cai Mao's men and horses in front, shall we fight or bypass?" The soldier next to him asked Hu Che'er, who was looking angry.

Hu Che'er frowned and thought for a while and said: "The other party must have also discovered our whereabouts, if we make a detour at this time, we will inevitably be attacked, so you all give me my heart, let's fight with the enemy and withdraw immediately!"

Not long after, Hu Che'er led the army to come, Cai Mao had already led the army to set up a formation, seeing that Hu Che'er had few men and horses, but his morale was unprecedentedly high, so he asked his subordinates to shout together: "The thief will not descend quickly?" Your lord is dead, don't fight the trapped beasts! ”

"You fart!" After Hu Che'er roughly saw the formation set up by Cai Mao, he secretly laughed in his heart that the other party would not use soldiers, and immediately led the cavalry to attack from the left and right flanks, and went straight to Cai Mao's army, and then ordered hundreds of crossbowmen to gather in the Chinese army.

"Isn't that an egg hitting a stone?" Cai Mao didn't have time to wonder about Hu Che'er's tactics, and his men reported that Hu Che'er's men had arrived, and they fought with the former army.

"I really can't imagine that Zhang Ji's troops are still so strong in combat after the death of the lord!" Cai Mao said, while ordering the herald to urgently report the situation here to Liu Biao in Fancheng, and on the other hand, organizing people and horses to go towards Hu Che'er, "The thief will be rampant, I, Cai Mao, will take your life!" ”

"Good time!" Hu Che'er was eager for revenge, carrying a copper stick, taking the lead and taking Cai Mao directly!

Cai Mao didn't dare to be careless, he had fought with Hu Che'er many times before, and his strength was comparable, so he immediately ordered hundreds of spearmen to line up on both sides to meet the cavalry, and he also ran over with more than a thousand shield soldiers.

The two armies fought in a scuffle, Hu Che'er fought and ordered the crossbowmen to shoot, but they were all resisted by Cai Mao's shield soldiers, but Hu Che'er did not order the crossbowmen to shoot all, but divided into three waves, one wave of shooting, one wave of preparation, one wave of shooting, and one wave of shooting again, and in an instant the arrows fell like rain, forcing Cai Mao's army to have no way to move forward, and those cavalry actually stopped after approaching the spearmen to confront each other without fighting, and the spearmen attacked, and those cavalry retreated, defending the place, and were tortured by the rain of arrows, but the shield soldiers were transferred to the Chinese army, Unexpectedly, nearly an hour had passed, and Cai Mao, who had the advantage in troops, actually didn't kill any of the other party, but lost hundreds of people and horses, so angry that he was furious:

"Damn, haven't the lord's reinforcements arrived yet? It's a pity that Wang Wei is still chasing after the defeated army and can't join me! ”

"General, look!" As he was talking, the soldier beside him shouted, "The lord has brought someone here!" ”

Cai Mao looked fixedly, and sure enough, he saw that the north gate of Fancheng was opened, and a group of men and horses came out of the city, and the big Liu Ziqi showed his identity, Cai Mao was overjoyed, and ordered the whole army: "The lord is here, don't let him see our embarrassed appearance, attack, and kill the enemy army without leaving a piece of armor!" ”

"Kill, kill, kill!" Cai Mao's men and horses shouted and killed all of them.

"Withdraw!" Of course, Hu Che'er also saw Liu Biao's army and knew that it had to retreat, most of the lord's troops might have collapsed, and if his own troops were also scattered, it would ......

Thinking of this, he immediately ordered the cavalry on both wings to merge with the Chinese army, and ordered the crossbowmen to retreat first, Cai Mao's men and horses were all infantry, and the cavalry had been led by Wang Wei to pursue the remnants, so although they were chasing Hu Che'er's troops with great fanfare, they actually didn't encounter anyone at all.

In this way, Cai Mao's people have been chasing, Hu Che'er also quickly retreated, Hu Che'er saw Cai Mao bite tightly, frowned, and shot an arrow, the sky was still a little dark at this time, Cai Mao didn't pay attention, only heard a swish in the air, an arrow hit the shoulder, turned over and fell off the horse, the army saw that the main general would fall off the horse, for a while the six gods had no owner, stopped the pursuit, and when Cai Mao gave the pursuit order again, it was out of reach.

Cai Mao led the army to see Liu Biao: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry for letting an enemy general run away!" ”

Liu Biao immediately supported Cai Mao: "De Jue has worked hard, Zhang Ji is dead, the remnants of the army let me clean up, you are injured, hurry back and heal!" ”

"No!" Cai Mao handed over the troops to Liu Biao and went to Fancheng with his entourage.

"Who can hurt Deju?" Liu Biao got on the horse and muttered to himself with a solemn face.

"Lord Qiqi, it's Hu Che'er, a partial general of Zhang Ji!" The soldier next to him replied.

"Hu Che'er!" Liu Biao suddenly remembered that Xun You told him that Hu Chi'er, the general who killed Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, later changed his name to Hu Che'er and defected to Zhang Ji, and a trace of uneasiness suddenly flashed in his mind.

How could a partial general kill the main general, if it wasn't for someone to help, if there was, then this person must have been the most trusted person by Niu Fu, there is no doubt that the person most trusted by Niu Fu is naturally Jia Xu!

No, Zhang Ji is already dead, even if Jia Xu comes at this time, it won't be able to become any climate, just rely on the thousands of people and horses that Hu Che'er took away?

While thinking about it, the soldier came to report: "Lord, General Wang Wei defeated the enemy army and successfully captured Zhang Ji's corpse, let me wait to report the victory first!" ”

"Good!" Liu Biao was overjoyed, "He is worthy of being my general, he is really powerful, we will also go to meet him!" ”

"Finally got rid of this tail!" Hu Che'er led the army to a clearing, gasped and said, "Take a break, let's go and recapture the body of the lord!" ”

After a while, Zhang Ji's defeated soldiers saw Hu Che'er's banner and came one after another, Hu Che'er knew that Liu Biao's chasing army would definitely come again, and was about to order the soldiers to set off, but he didn't know the whereabouts of the personal soldiers guarding Zhang Ji's body.

"What's going on? What about the corpse of the lord? Hu Che'er asked.

Those pro-soldiers said in frustration: "We are incompetent, we were attacked by Wang Wei from behind, the whole army was killed, and the body of the lord was also taken by Wang Wei, only a few of me remained, I heard that the general was here, so I came, the general please punish us!" As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and waited for death.

Hu Che'er sighed: "It's not your problem, you could have left, but now, I can't let you die, you should first find General Zhang Xiu, serve him as the new lord, and then avenge the lord!" ”

"Revenge, revenge!" The army shouted with tears in their eyes.

At this time, Zhang Xiu, who was in Chang'an, did not know the bad news that Zhang Ji had died, he and Jia Xu partnered to look forward to the state, starry night, this day to Yanmen, it happened that the sky was not beautiful, it rained heavily, and the two people who were still in a hurry were drenched, and Zhang Xiu, who had never been sick, actually launched a high fever.

In desperation, the two had to stay in an inn on the side of the road, and at night Zhang Xiu's condition became serious, and he actually talked nonsense, what "uncle, don't leave me" and the like, so that Jia Xu couldn't help but sigh that this pair of uncles and nephews had a deep affection, but looking at Zhang Xiu, who was in a coma, had a high fever, and felt that it was not a way to go on like this, so he sighed and gave the shopkeeper some silver to ask the local doctor to come to Zhang Xiu for diagnosis and treatment.

After a short time, the doctor was invited, he touched Zhang Xiu's pulse and pondered for a moment, and said to Jia Xu: "Don't worry, Ling Gongzi is fine, but he is infected with wind and cold, I will prescribe him a few medicines to reduce fever and drive away cold, you just need to give him on time." ”

"Thank you, doctor, ah, no, I'm not his father!" Jia Xu was about to thank the doctor, but suddenly remembered that something was wrong, and immediately defended.

"Hehe, it's the old man who is dazzled, don't be surprised!" The doctor had already written the prescription while speaking, Jia Xu took it, and found the shopkeeper and said: "Trouble the little brother to go to the pharmacy again, it is important to save people!" ”

The shopkeeper acted as a question: "Ahem, the night is so dark, ahem, the pharmacies are closed, ahem!" ”

Jia Xu is such a shrewd person, he didn't talk much, but only took out a few pennies from his sleeve and put it in the shopkeeper: "It's really troublesome little brother!" ”

The doctor couldn't look at it from the sidelines, and reprimanded the shopkeeper: "It's a good thing to do good and accumulate virtue, you are so shameless in this shop!" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Shame is worth a lot of money, like you, you don't even have the money to buy a coffin when you're old!" ”

"You!" The doctor pointed to the figure of the shopkeeper and smiled helplessly, looking at the anxious Jia Xu, he asked out loud, "I don't know where the two of you are going?" ”

Jia Xu looked at the doctor suspiciously and said, "Go to Wuyuan to visit relatives!" ”

"I see!" The doctor stroked his beard and smiled, "Could it be that I miscalculated?" Are you not going to the Huns? ”

Jia Xu was a little shocked, but his face did not show it, and he still smiled with a smile: "How did the old gentleman see it, we really plan to go to the Xiongnu to buy a few good horses to Jingzhou after leaving our relatives!" ”

He was right, the route was the same, except that what he had to do was changed from stealing beams and pillars without a trace to visiting relatives and doing business.

The doctor continued to laugh, laughing so much that Jia Xu felt a little weak: "Your Excellency, don't lie to the old man, although the old man has never been anywhere and has no ability, but the ability to see people is unmatched in the entire Yanmen!" ”

"Oh?" Jia Xu couldn't help but be a little curious about the identity of this doctor, he hugged his fists and said, "May the old gentleman have some advice!" ”

"I see that you are also a learned person, you should know that in ancient times, medicine, physiognomy and divination were not separated, they were all one, only one was learned, and they were not refined or understood, just skin, looking at people's temperament, looking at their faces, divining their lives, the three were one with each other, so that they could not invade all diseases, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and start and finish well!"

"Mr. is highly talented, I admire it very much!" Jia Xu couldn't help but be shocked by this doctor's words, but he was not shocked, the person in the world who could shock him Jia Xu Jia Wenhe had not yet been born, he cleared his throat and said, "But although this is good, it is not true, birth, old age, sickness and death are the common sense of heaven and earth, good and evil are the normal feelings of people, good and evil are the normal nature of the world, no life is no death, no good is no evil, no good is no evil, no color is no emptiness." ”

"It turns out that Your Excellency also studies Buddhism!" The doctor smiled, "The old man has lived for most of his life, and it is the first time he has met a talent like Your Excellency!" ”

"This is not Buddhism, it is common sense!" Jia Xu retorted, "There are talents everywhere in the world, such as carp crossing the river, it's just that Mr. didn't go out to take a look!" ”

"That's a good point!" Zhang Xiu's voice came, and Jia Xu and the doctor's eyes looked over at the same time, only to see that Zhang Xiu had woken up at some point, quietly watching the two who were debating on the couch.

Jia Xu said: "I finally woke up, I thought you would fall asleep directly!" ”

"I'm sorry to worry about Mr. Jean!" Zhang Xiu said apologetically, "But it's also interesting to listen to the debate between the two, it feels like two generals are competing in martial arts!" ”
