Several scouts riding fast rode towards Tongguan with happy and anxious faces, and shouted when they came to the pass.

"Quick, open the floodgates now. I'm waiting for good tidings to give to my lord! ”

The defenders at the juncture, seeing that there was no large army behind these scouts, hurriedly ordered the people below to open the floodgates. The floodgates, which had been burned to the ground by the fire, slowly opened. After several scouts galloped into the pass, they rolled the saddle and dismounted, and rushed to the platform in the pass.

"Newspaper!! Liangzhou, the Liangzhou army withdrew!! ”

The scout who was running in front almost slipped, and as soon as he saw Wen Han's figure, he couldn't stop reporting in ecstasy.

And Wen Han was discussing the next countermeasures with Guan Yu and Xu Huang, they were all extremely distressed, after the battle just now, they lost almost half of their soldiers and horses, and the defenders in the pass were less than 4,000 people. Once this heavy rain stops, if they still can't think of a countermeasure, I'm afraid that they will die under the rush of the Liangzhou army, and there is no place to bury!

After all, miracles don't happen repeatedly!

Wen Han's eyes widened, and his expression quickly turned from astonishment to ecstasy. And Guan Yu and Xu Huang, who were sitting on the side, also stood up. The Liangzhou army withdrew, which means that Tongguan is safe, and it means that they have successfully prevented the tragedy of Dong Zhuo's relocation to the capital, which will kill hundreds of thousands of Luoyang people.

The sound of the scout's good news reached the ears of the dozens of patrolling soldiers around them, and these dozens of soldiers couldn't help cheering, and the passionate and joyful voices reached the ears of several patrol teams. As a result, the news of the retreat of the Liangzhou army spread at an extremely fast speed, and soon there were bursts of exhilarating and passionate and joyful shouts throughout Tongguan.

At this moment, the four thousand soldiers in Tongguan, their figures suddenly became magnificent.

After Wen Han learned the news, he first suppressed the joy in his heart, and then sent several scout teams to the area at the foot of Tongguan to investigate, in case the retreat of the Liangzhou army was just a cover to lure the snake out of the hole.

At the same time, at the foot of Tongguan Mountain, a small team of dozens of people was rushing through a forest in the direction of Hongnong.

"Mr. Jia, where are we going?"

In the team, Chen Bing wanted to speak several times, but in the end, he couldn't resist the apprehension in his heart and asked Jia Xu. Jia Xu looked at Chen Bing with a deep face, and then said lightly.

"Let's go back to Liangzhou."

"What! In this way, we will not become deserters! ”

Hearing Jia Xu's answer, Chen Bing suddenly exclaimed, and the dozens of soldiers behind him were all shocked, and couldn't help but stop.

Seeing this, Jia Xu also stopped, turned around, and sighed.

"Huh. If we don't run away now, then we can only die with Dong Xiangguo! ”

Jia Xu's words were like another heavy bomb, which made these dozens of people frightened again. Chen Bing was shocked when he heard this, but he knew that Jia Xu had nothing to miss, and he would not talk nonsense, and this deserter was going to be killed, Jia Xu was the best at saving his life, if he did not hesitate to be a deserter and leave Dong Zhuo's command, then Dong Zhuo's defeat was almost eighty percent.

"Mr. Jia, Lord Xiangguo is really going to be defeated?"

"The war is ever-changing, and I dare not judge categorically. However, according to the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Luoyang is breached. And with Dong Xiangguo's character, he will not be willing to abandon the hard-won name of Xiangguo. Therefore, he will definitely transfer the saint and the hundred officials of the court to Liangzhou.

Although Liangzhou is Dong Xiangguo's base camp, although it is stable on the surface, it is actually turbulent. Ma Teng and Han Sui both have ambitions, just like in the Eighteen-Way Princes Alliance this time, Ma Teng participated. Ma Teng and Han Sui are sworn brothers, and they have an inextricable relationship with Xiqiang Hu in Liangzhou.

The confrontation between Dong Xiangguo and the princes of the Eighteenth Route has now lost nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, which can be described as a great loss of vitality. Therefore, when he returned to Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui would never give Lord Xiangguo a chance to recover, and they would inevitably rebel. At the same time, although most of the princes of the Eighteenth Route have different hearts, some people such as Cao Mengde, Wen Guanguan, Sun Wentai and others will never let go of Dong Xiangguo, they and Dong Xiangguo have long reached the point of life and death, so they will definitely bite Dong Xiangguo.

The situation in Liangzhou is unstable, and there is a strong enemy attacking. In fact, the most fatal thing is not these two points, but that there are too many uncertain factors under Dong Xiangguo's command. Under Dong Xiangguo, there are many ambitious people, who were attached to Dong Xiangguo because of his great power at the beginning, and these people have no loyalty at all. So once Dong Xiangguo is in danger, they will definitely find another way to survive, and it is even possible..."

Speaking of this, Jia Xu didn't say any more, but made a throat cutting ceremony. Chen Bing and the dozens of soldiers were so bold that they couldn't imagine that Dong Zhuo's group, which was in full swing, had so many ills!

After Jia Xu saw that they were shocked, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, sighed, and said.

"Huh. If I could, I would never be this deserter. But the war soon rushed to Liangzhou, and although my Jia family was a small family in Wuwei, they also had dozens of lives. As the head of the Jia family, I am determined to save their lives, and I will go back this time to take them away from the war. You are all my fellow villagers, and you all have your relatives in Wuwei. Whether you want to go back with me, or continue to follow Dong Xiangguo, you decide for yourself. I will never force you. ”

Although Jia Xu was saying this, his tone seemed to have a temptation, and after Chen Bing and the dozens of soldiers looked at each other and exchanged views for a while, they all decided in unison, and opened their mouths to tell Jia Xu that they were willing to go back to Wuwei County with him.

And Jia Xu seemed to have guessed that they would return to Wuwei with him, nodded indifferently, and wanted to continue on his way.

Dada

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind them, Jia Xu's face was shocked, and he was about to find a cover to hide, when he heard a vicious shout.

"Stop! Who are you!! ”

Chen Bing and dozens of Liangzhou soldiers subconsciously wanted to pull out the weapons on their waists, but at the moment when their hands were about to reach the hilt of their swords, countless arrows flew suddenly and stuck around them, scaring them for a while.

"Don't let go of the arrows! We are deserters from the Liangzhou Army, Dong Zhuo has done a lot of evil, we are all shameless, we just want to go home! Please also ask all the heroes, be merciful to your subordinates, and let us live! ”

The light in Jia Xu's eyes flowed quickly, and then he pretended to be frightened and begged for mercy from a young general who was riding a horse.

This young general is Wang Jing, Wang Jing has been following Wen Han since Xie County, and now he is a hundred generals in the Black Wind Ride. Wang Jing squinted, he saw that Jia Xu was compatible with Weijun, but he was so timid, and a trace of disdain rose in his heart.

"Hmph. It turned out to be a person from the Liangzhou Army, so you don't need to be polite. Brothers, put! ”

"Wait!! I often heard that the champion of Wen was benevolent and righteous, but he didn't expect that his subordinates were so murderous. We are already deserters, we are no threat to you, why do you want to kill us!! I'm not convinced! ”

"Not convinced!? Do you know how many of my brothers died at the hands of Liangzhou dogs!! If I let you go, how can I explain to my brothers under Jiuquan!! ”

"We're just pawns, and if we don't obey orders, we'll die! We all joined the army for a full meal, for some meager food to pay for the family's livelihood. We kill people just for our families, for survival. You have brothers who are really at the hands of the Liangzhou army, and many of our brothers have died at the hands of your Hedong people. You want to kill for this reason, and I still don't accept it! ”

Jia Xu pretended to be trembling and angry, and looked directly at Wang Jing. Wang Jing frowned, and the few Black Wind Riders next to him couldn't bear it, and they also felt that this person was reasonable, so they opened their mouths to persuade Wang Jing and let them go.

Wang Jing squinted, he felt that the person in front of him was not as simple as it seemed, just by virtue of his sudden sharp mouth, it seemed that he was not good. Moreover, Wen Han seized Tongguan, Wen Han deliberately hidden, and there was no flag planted on Tongguan, how did this pawn know that he was under Wen Han's command!?

"Well, even if you have a point. I have to let you go. But tell me first, how do you know that I'm under the command of Champion Wen? ”

Jia Xu's face froze, and he secretly said that something bad was wrong, but he didn't expect this young general's mind to be so meticulous.

"We and Champion Wen fought against each other when they were in Yanshi, Champion Wen is so majestic, this time in Tongguan, I recognized it at a glance. And you are leading the patrol near this Tongguan, of course, under the command of Champion Wen. ”

"Oh? Your eyesight is not bad, and your mouth is not bad. Come on, tie them all up! ”

"You!! You didn't say you would let us go!! You don't believe what you say!! ”

"Hmph, I, Wang Jing, will only be trustworthy to my lord and comrades. To you Liangzhou dogs? If I don't kill you, you will be lucky! Why don't you quickly lay down your arms and surrender, and you can't get it and want to fight us for your life!? ”

As soon as Wang Jing raised his hand, hundreds of black wind knights behind him suddenly mounted their bows and arrows, and they all aimed their arrows at Jia Xu and his group. Chen Bing stepped out in one step, protecting Jia Xu behind him, and Ling Ran shouted.

"Sir, don't worry, with Chen Bing here, no one can hurt you!!"

Mr? Wang Jing's eyes narrowed again, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the secret path was really the same as he guessed, this person was really not an ordinary person, but he didn't expect to catch a big fish when he came out this time.

And when Chen Bing called out Mr., Jia Xu knew that it would be difficult for him to turn the tables this time, and after shaking his head silently, he said without the slightest panic when hundreds of arrows were aimed at him.

"Alright. Lay down your arms, and we surrender. ”

"Sir!!"

"Shut up!! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, it will only look like you are stupid!! ”

Jia Xu stared at him, under his heavy drinking, Chen Bing gritted his teeth, and reluctantly threw away the weapon in his hand, and the other Liangzhou soldiers saw Chen Bing drop it, and they also followed suit and threw their weapons in a pile.

Wang Jing waved his hand, and hundreds of Black Wind Riders quickly confiscated their weapons, and then escorted them back to Tongguan.

In Tongguan, after sleeping for a while, Wen Han recovered some of his spirits, and was drinking tea on the platform to meditate on why the Liangzhou army left suddenly.

I thought about it for about half an hour, but nothing came about. At this time, Wang Jing, who came back from the investigation, told Wen Han that he had captured dozens of Liangzhou deserters, and also told Wen Han about Jia Xu and him.

"Oh, this man has such a sharp mouth? Okay, you switch him from the others. After a while, I'll interrogate them again. ”

Wen Han is very interested in the person in Wang Jing's mouth. After Wang Jing led the troops, he went down to arrange for Jia Xu and the others to be separated from each other and imprisoned in two houses.

After a while, Wen Han didn't interrogate the person he was interested in first, but walked to the room where dozens of other Liangzhou soldiers were being held. Wen Han's expression when he walked out of the room after staying for half a pillar of incense time was really complicated, with astonishment, horror, hatred and admiration.

Jia Xu watched Wen Han's figure slowly walk into the room, the two looked at each other, Jia Xu looked at Wen Han's complicated expression, and quickly calculated in his mind, after a while, his body trembled, and then he closed his eyes.
