At night, their carriages and horses slowed down their march, and by the faint moonlight, they wanted to take other roads, but the gallop was the fastest, and they could reach Chang'an in the shortest time without missing a mistake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the situation was more urgent than Zhang Liao thought, the night march was only thirty miles, after the break Zhao Yun hurriedly came to report, there were cavalry chasing after him, judging from the sound of horses' hooves and torches, there were five or six hundred cavalry, galloping and roads on both sides, only more than ten miles away from them, according to the speed they are traveling now, but half an hour can catch up.

Listening to Zhao Yun's report, Zhang Liao couldn't help but look solemn, although his more than 20 horsemen are elites, but they have been running back and forth for a day and a half of the night, it can be described as a lack of people and horses, once they encounter the five hundred pursuers, it can be described as extremely dangerous, he immediately ordered: "Hurry up!" ”

But there was one point, the carriage had to be abandoned, otherwise it would only slow down the march.

Zhang Liao rode an elephant dragon, came to the carriage, and asked, "Madame can ride a horse?" ”

Ma Shi in the car said: "The general should move forward quickly, don't think of a concubine, just ask for a sword and a concubine." ”

Zhang Liao suddenly knew that she couldn't ride a horse, and said categorically: "Madame doesn't need to say much, Zhang Liao has no reason to give up halfway, let alone bear the trust of Brother Huangfu, otherwise Brother Huangfu asked Madame how to answer Zhang Liao." ”

Ma said: "The general is a person who does great things, how can he miss a big plan for a woman, and go ahead quickly." ”

Zhang Liao asked Zuo Ci to stop the carriage, without saying a word, jumped off the horse and pulled Ma out, and took out the thick felt from the car, wrapped her, and put it on top of the elephant dragon, and said: "Among the horses, only the elephant dragon is the best, now only I take my wife forward, my wife is my elder, don't be surprised if it's rude." ”

Ma's bun has already been tied, but there are still blood marks on her face, seeing Zhang Liao's insistence, she is not hypocritical, and said solemnly: "Please get on the horse, go quickly." ”

Zhang Liao nodded, jumped on the horse, and galloped with Ma's fast horse.

After Zhao Yun was still broken, he found a fork in the road, drove the carriage to the fork in the road, in order to confuse the enemy, and then chased after him.

went to the carriage, twenty rode into the speed very fast, like a dragon and a horse, and the speed of the two of them did not decrease at all, but in more than half an hour, they pulled away the chasing Qianghu cavalry, arrived in Huaili County, and went straight to Huangfu's house.

There was a lantern lit at the door of the emperor's house, and there was already a person waiting for him, and when he saw Zhang Liao and others coming, he stepped forward and asked loudly: "But General Zhang?" ”

Under the moonlight, Zhang Liao recognized that person, it was Huangfu Song's son Huangfu Jianshou, who was a good friend of Dong Zhuo, and asked Dong Zhuo to save his father, Dong Zhuo wanted to appoint him as a servant, but he resigned and lived in seclusion at home.

"Brother Jianshou, it's Zhang Liao." Zhang Liaofei dismounted, it was the cold winter wax moon at this time, he was galloping all the way, the cold wind was cold, his legs and feet were already a little stiff, and the wound was even more painful.

But he couldn't care about himself, and hurriedly hugged Ma Shi who was wrapped in thick felt, but saw that Ma Shi was already pale from the cold, his lips were blue, his limbs were stiff, and only a pair of eyes were still so bright.

Saving people like this, Zhang Liao was ashamed, handed over the Ma family to the nearest Huangfu Jianshou, and said apologetically: "Brother Jianshou, I really didn't expect things to be like this, but I implicated the Huangfu family, I don't know if the family has been evacuated?" Dong Zhuo must be prevented from committing murder. ”

Huangfu Jianshou saw Ma's wounded and miserable appearance, his eyes flashed with guilt, and he took Ma's and bowed deeply to Zhang Liao, and said: "Uncle and grandmother are in trouble, we dare not face the power, General Zhang's righteousness makes us deeply ashamed, Huangfu dare not or forget!" There were only more than ten people in the family, all of whom had been evacuated and hidden, and Cousin Li also went to Chang'an, leaving only to pick up his uncle and grandmother, and General Lao was concerned. ”

Zhang Liao nodded, he also knew that Huangfu's family was in Anding County, Liangzhou, and it was only because Huangfu Songzhong was stationed in Huaili during the period that some close dependents moved in, and there were not many people, plus there were frequent wars here, and everyone was very vigilant, so although the time was short, it was easy to evacuate.

As for the fact that Huangfu Jianshou had not come out for the Ma family this time, he also heard Huangfu Li mention that Huangfu Jianshou was going to see Dong Zhuo, but was reprimanded and stopped by the Ma family. Ma believes that although Huangfu Jianshou has a good relationship with Dong Zhuo, but now Dong Zhuo's temperament has changed greatly, and Ma went by himself, and it was not good, but it was just a woman, but Huangfu Jianshou went, I am afraid that it will affect Huangfu's family.

Because of this, Zhang Liao admired Ma's woman very much. As for his break with Dong Zhuo this time, he doesn't blame the Ma family, the Ma family's matter is not even a fuse, the root cause should be the calculation of the old man in the Ding Palace before his death, and the plans of Dong Min and Dong Huang's uncle and nephew led to his break with Dong Zhuo.

After all, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy, even if he is trusted by Dong Zhuo, he will never be able to compare with Dong Min and Dong Huang's status in Dong Zhuo's heart.

Speaking of which, if he didn't go, the Ma family would have no reason to survive, but the Huangfu family should be fine, and although he saved the Ma family, because of his break with Dong Zhuo, the Huangfu family was affected, because he always felt guilty in his heart, and he didn't dare to save himself by himself, which was not hypocritical.

But powerless Ma's, Huangfu Li or Huangfu Jianshou, what he saw was Zhang Liao's righteous help, and he was very grateful to Zhang Liao, and invited Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Zuo Ci and a group of guards into the house, and some meals had already been prepared at home, Zhang Liao and others hurriedly ate the meal and drank a bowl of ginger soup before the stiffness on the body was dispelled.

Not long after, Ma also came over and bowed to Zhang Liao again, Zhang Liao hurriedly stopped her, and said: "I am friends with Brother Huangfu, and my wife is my elder, Zhang Liao really can't afford such a big gift." ”

He looked at Huangfu Jianshou again: "Brother Jianshou, Madame can't stay here for a long time, and she needs to settle down quickly." ”

Huangfu Jianshou said: "The general is really a warm-hearted and righteous person, but he has already arranged a carriage and horse, first sent his uncle and grandmother to a safe place to hide, and then secretly went to Maoling. ”

"Maoling?" Zhang Liao was stunned, although Maoling was also under the rule of Youfufeng, it was a little too close to Chang'an.

Ma Shi said softly: "The concubine's mother's home is in Maoling, and she can shelter the concubine." ”

Zhang Liao reacted at this time, but no, the famous Fufeng Ma clan is in Maoling, the Ma clan started from the Fubo general Ma Yuan, the Fufeng Ma clan is also one of the six major families of the founding of the Later Han Dynasty, after Emperor Guangwu set the capital of Luoyang, although the Fufeng Ma clan in the Guanzhong is gradually inferior to the later Kanto family, but it is also a hundred years old. At the time of Huan Ling, Ma Rong became a generation of Confucianism, and he was the teacher of Lu Zhi and Zheng Xuan.

In such a family, it is naturally not a problem to shelter a woman.

At this point, Zhang Liao was relieved.

After there were chasing soldiers, they did not dare to stay in Huangfu's house for a long time, after a little rest and recovery, they left Huaili County in the long worship of Huangfu's longevity, and went straight to Chang'an, at this time it was the second half of the night.

But it was only more than ten miles away from Huangfu's house, and before he got on the gallop, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao were both sensitive to the sound of horses' hooves, and they judged almost simultaneously that the chasing cavalry was about fifty horsemen.

Zhao Yun said: "Lord, it's only fifty horses, I'll wait enough to deal with it, but I can break it and then go!" ”

"Zilong is the same as what I saw." Zhang Liao's eyes sharpened: "Kill him first, lest these thieves be unscrupulous and turn the tiger into a cat!" ”
