On October 13, 311 A.D., on the road from Tongguan to Huashan (between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.), Choushi (between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.).

"Zu Lian! Stop it! ”

"Uncle! What's wrong?! ”

"Didn't you find out that this road is not the way to Huayin?! Stop! (Huayin: It is now Huayin City, Shaanxi, which has been known as "the main road of the three Qins and the thoroughfare of eight provinces" since ancient times, and is the only place for the Central Plains to the northwest)

"Uncle, don't you keep chasing?!"

"Shi Zhan's gang can run this way, they should have calculated a long time ago! If we rush to catch up now, we may be ambushed......"

"Uncle, if they had planned it beforehand, at least they had to have horses! But I didn't see a single horseshoe print along the way! There is no one to answer them! Where did the ambush come from?! ”

"The first thing all caravans want to join our army is to hand in their horses! They fled from Tongguan, naturally there were no horses, but don't forget, many of Shi Zhan's people are from Guanzhong! Now it's a mountain road again, I'm afraid we'll have no way back......"

"But we have horses! They are walking! Zu Lian was confident that he could catch up with them before they entered the mountain! ”

Xu Liu listened to Zu Lian's words, but he looked at the torch illuminated ahead without saying a word......

"Uncle!"

"Let's go! Let's go back to Tongguan! ”

"What?!"

"A woman, she was robbed and robbed, what is there to chase!"

"But I heard she's ......"

"I know who she is! But so what?! It's just a woman with no power and no power, no name and no face! Just send a few people to follow her and see where Shi Zhan wants to take her! ”

"What does uncle mean, didn't Shi Zhan rob Mingyue to join the Huns?!"

"If Shi Zhan goes to Huayin and passes through Zheng County, it means that he is going to seek refuge with Liu Cang, the king of Hanoi of the Han Kingdom, or he was originally Liu Cang's person!"

"But he didn't leave, but went to Huashan!"

"I didn't go to the east gate of Tongguan to join Kang Xiang!"

“……”

"I didn't take the two nearest roads, but I just walked the most difficult Huashan, don't you think it's strange?!"

"But are we just watching the bright moon lose under our noses?! Uncle! As long as we can bring her back, my father will be happy! ”

"Humph! What's the use of bringing it back?! Confess her?! In my opinion, if you stay, you may invite some unnecessary trouble! ”

“……”

"Alright, Juan'er! Listen to my uncle, let's rush back now! The situation over there in Tongguan is much more important than a woman! ”

"But ......"

"Don't you understand?! Your father has just lost a son, and now is when he needs you most! If Zu Ji suddenly takes advantage of his unpreparedness to attack your father at this time, and you, the only son, are not by his side, what should you do for your father and mother?! ”

When Zu Jian heard this, his heart suddenly sank!

"Got it?! Zu Ji has always been angry about your father getting the position of patriarch! In this case, we have to stay by your father's side! ”

“……”

"Why don't you speak?! Do you think it's impossible for Zu Ji to do such a thing of infighting among the same clan?! ”

"Hmmm......"

"Could your father have become a little disheartened by being too sad?! And then looking at Zu Ji pitiful, he made some soft promises for a while, such as letting Zu Ji succeed to the patriarch after him?! And Zuna and Zuzi have always been friends! What would have happened if he had instigated it at this time?! Don't forget! Today's Wudifficult Army can be dominated in any place! ”

“…….”

"What?! You want to give it up too?! Or do you still can't control what is under you, and you have a mind on that bright moon?! ”

Another place at the same time......

Shi Zhan was carrying Mingyue, who had already been knocked out by him, and followed Kang Qiang all the way!

"Major General! This is the closest way to Huashan! As long as I enter Huashan, I will have a way to get rid of those pursuers! ”

Shi Zhan didn't say a word, just followed the torch held high by Kang Qiang, and continued to run wildly......

And the bright moon on his back is still unconscious......

Half an hour later, somewhere on the edge of Jingshui outside the city of Qixian......

"Are you telling the truth?! How is this possible?! Do you know what it is to lie about the military?! ”

"General Zhao! General Liu! The little one dares to vouch for his life! ”

Zhao Ran heard this, but he glanced noncommittally at the scout who was still kneeling on the ground, and then looked behind him and around him, after making sure that no one else except Liu Ya heard their conversation just now......

"Ah!! General Zhao! You...... Why do you ...... Want...... Kill...... I ......"

"Zhao Ran! What are you doing?! Why kill him?! ”

"Damn! This kid has a long breath! While vomiting blood, you can finish all your words! ”

"You ......" Liu Ya spit out this "word", and subconsciously took a few steps back......

"Big brother, don't worry, let's go a little farther and talk!"

Moments later......

"Big brother, I killed him, I don't want a third person to know about this news......"

"What do you want to do?!"

"I think the plan we agreed on is going to change immediately......"

"What do you mean?! Just because that scout found out that Japi might have reinforcements coming?! ”

"In my opinion, it's not a possibility, it's a certainty!"

"On such a cold day, who will come to the rescue of him Jia Pi?!"

"If you can come at this time, I think the only ones who can come at this time are Fufeng Taishou Liang Zong or Yongzhou Thorn Shi Jute!"

"How do you know?! That scout didn't say much?! ”

"Humph! At a time like this, anything that might have to be thought of first! And if we have any doubts, we have to prepare for the worst! ”

"So what are you going to do?!"

"Divide the troops!"

"You're not going to call back the part of the men and horses sent to Xunyi?!"

"They stay in Xunyi and continue to harass and attack to buy us more time! And let's be ready to leave Tan Binh at any time! ”

"Zhao Ran, it's not that I, who is an elder brother, don't believe your speculation! It's really common sense, there really shouldn't be anyone to rescue Jia Pi! ”

"Humph! Jia Pi's ability to be an old dog really can't be measured with common sense! But that's why we have to be extra careful! If what the scout said just now is true, then the heralds who arrived in Qi County at this time are nine times out of ten to tell Jia Pi that their reinforcements are about to arrive! ”

"And we?!"

"If I were Jia Pi, once I had reinforcements, I would definitely take the initiative to attack!"

"So ......"

"As long as Jia Pi and his army send a large army out of Qi County to Xunyi to help, we will take the opportunity to leave Xinping County!"
