In the night sky, the moon is half bent, Hongnong East Stream, a torch, and the sound of killing shocks the sky. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

To the east of Dongjian, Liu Xie and more than a dozen courtiers fled in panic under the protection of hundreds of Yulin, and the battle was behind them, and they did not dare to turn their heads back, otherwise they would be caught up by the rebels.

Since the right general Yang Ding fled, the strength of the Son of Heaven has decreased sharply, but it is Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji who have gathered Yang Ding's soldiers and horses, and their strength has increased greatly, chasing them to Dongjian, Dong Cheng and Yang Feng have resisted reluctantly, the situation is extremely bad, and in the chaos, the number of courtiers and soldiers killed is uncountable.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! As soon as Liu Xie stopped to catch his breath, he heard someone shouting from behind: "Situ Zhao Wen, Taichang Wang Wei, Sili Captain Rong Shao, and Yang Qi in the service have been killed." ā€

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, looked around and left, there were only more than ten of the hundreds of courtiers and palace people left, and he was so miserable that he couldn't help hiding his face and crying: "The minister is innocent, he has suffered such a catastrophe!" ā€

Yang Biao endured his grief and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, don't stay here, go east as soon as possible." ā€

Liu Xiechang sighed: "This time it is over. ā€

Zuo Ling said: "Your Majesty, it's better to make peace with Li Dao and Guo Yan first, delay for a while, and then plan later." ā€

Yang Biao reprimanded: "Now that you have got rid of the thief, how can you have an affair with the thief and be disgraced again!" If it falls into the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan, it will be unfortunate, and at this time, it is advisable to find rescuers as soon as possible. ā€

Liu Xie looked around and said helplessly: "Now in Hongnong, where to find rescuers?" ā€

On the side, Zhong Miao said: "You can go to Hedong for help, Zhang Wenyuan should have soldiers and horses in Hedong." ā€

Liu Xie was overjoyed when he heard this: "Zhang Wenyuan is in Hedong? ā€

Chong Ji intercepted and said: "If you invite Zhang Liao to come, Yang Feng will rebel, I am afraid that if I can't wait for Zhang Liao, I will die here." ā€

Liu Xie's face was sad.

Zhong Xuan glared at Chong Ji angrily, he and Zuo Ling were extremely disgusted, it was they who attacked Duan Xuan in Huayin, so that they lost the opportunity, and were caught up by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and now Yang Ding fled, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng couldn't resist it, putting the Son of Heaven in danger, which was not small.

However, this is not the time for infighting, Zhong Miao hurriedly said to Liu Xie: "Your Majesty has forgotten that General Zhang is in Chang'an, but I heard that Li Dao and Guo Yan divided 20,000 troops to besiege Chang'an City, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to come, but there are Xun Yu left behind in the east of the river, and there must be soldiers and horses. ā€

Zuo Ling's eyes rolled and said, "Why bother crossing the river to ask for help, just find some boats, get off the Yellow River from here, and go down the river to the east, and you can go straight to Luoyang." ā€

Liu Xie turned his worries into joy: "This plan is good. ā€

Taiwei Yang Biao shook his head and said: "This plan is not successful, the minister is a Hongnong person, the river has been to the east since then, the water is shallow and stony, and there are more than 36 turbulent places, non-big boats and old boatmen can not go, or find a ferry to cross the river, or ask for help from the east of the river." ā€

Liu Ai hesitated and said: "Yang Gong's words are very true, the minister has made Shaanxi orders before, and he knows the danger, even the boatmen who are proficient in boating are often overturned here, and there are no boatmen waiting for us now." ā€

Hoping to turn into disappointment, Liu Xie said: "It's better to wait for General Anji to come and discuss again." ā€

Yang Biao said: "I waited and traveled all the way east, and sent people to find boats and ferries all the way. ā€

Liu Xie nodded: "No." ā€

At this time, the sound of killing behind was close again, Liu Xie and the courtiers did not dare to stay, and walked away again.

……

Jing Zhaoyin, Zhang Liao and Gan Ning led 3,000 soldiers and horses from dusk to Zheng County.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and Zhang Ji had already led the army eastward to Hongnong, Zheng County did not have many soldiers and horses, and Gan Ning swept all the way forward, marching extremely fast.

Empress Fushou followed Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao prepared a carriage for her, and let Diao Chan ride a horse to escort on one side, in case of a critical situation, Diao Chan could take Fushou on horseback at any time.

If it weren't for the critical situation on Liu Xie's side, Zhang Liao would not have sent troops at this time, he would have to wait for Gao Shun to arrive at Zuo Fengyi, form a siege, and then launch a general attack, which would only take a day or two.

Now their 3,000 soldiers and horses are marching in Jingzhao and Hongnong, but it is more dangerous, because the soldiers and horses of Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji, as well as the rangers separated by Ma Teng and Han Sui, have a lot of variables.

Originally, in Zhang Liao's plan, after the battle in Chang'an City reached Jingzhao, Li Dao and Guo Yan would be held back for a period of time, or even return, but he didn't expect that Li Dao and Guo Yan would have a shadow in his heart, and he didn't dare to turn back after hearing that Chang'an was defeated, but chose to chase the Son of Heaven all the way to find the talisman.

All the way forward, corpses can be seen everywhere along the way, which shows the tragedy of the war, at dawn, close to Huayin, suddenly there was an eagle sound above his head, Zhang Liao roared, and the golden eagle fell on his shoulder.

He quickly took out a bamboo tube from under the neck of the golden eagle, opened the letter and looked at it through the torch, and couldn't help but show joy on his face, but it was Gao Shun who was marching day and night, and had arrived at Zuo Fengyi a day in advance, and he was on call at any time.

Zhang Liao immediately replied quickly on the horse, let the golden eagle pass it back, and ordered Gao Shun to rest and recuperate, quickly cross the river, enter Hongnong, and prepare for a big battle!

After the golden eagle left, Zhang Liao was afraid that he would lose, so he sent scouts to the Weishui area to wait for Gao Shun to cross the river.

At dawn, Zhang Liao arrived in Huayin County, Duan Xuan learned that he was coming, went out of the city to greet him, Master Jia Xu followed by his side, and learned that the queen Fu Shou also came, the two couldn't help but be surprised, first and the queen Fu Shou saluted, and then Duan Xuan looked at Zhang Liao, quite excitedly said: "General, the car has been driven east, Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji's army chased, fighting in Dongjian, I have few soldiers, I dare not leave Dingcheng, the general came, but just to save the car, Duan Xuan is willing to listen to the dispatch." ā€

Zhang Liao said: "General Duan doesn't have to be polite, you still have to guard Dingcheng, otherwise if it weren't for Li Dao and Guo Yan attacking Dingcheng, it would inevitably increase in power and kill more. ā€

Duan Xuan was stunned and said: "Li Dao, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji have a combined army, there are 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers, all of them are brave soldiers, although the general is good at fighting, but there are only 3,000 soldiers and horses, but it is dangerous. ā€

Zhang Liao was about to speak, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses came from afar, there were tens of thousands, the front several horsemen came, one of them was Gao Shun, Gao Shun saw Zhang Liao was quite excited, bowed down in front of Zhang Liao: "Gao Shun to see the general, bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to listen to the order!" ā€

Zhang Liao laughed, helped Gao Shun up, and came to a bear hug: "Lao Gao, you came in time, you have traveled for a long time, you may have a fight?" ā€

Gao Shun said solemnly: "Battleable!" ā€

Zhang Liao laughed and turned his head to look at Duan Xuan: "I have these 10,000 soldiers and horses to help, which is enough to fight Li Guo and the thieves." ā€

Duan Xuan nodded again and again: "So hurry up and rescue the driver." ā€

On the side, Jia Xu glanced at Zhang Liao, and suddenly said: "General, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and it is better for the Middle Palace to stay in Dingcheng." ā€

Before Zhang Liao could speak, Fu Shou in the car said: "Doctor Jia, Your Majesty is in danger, it is really difficult for this palace to stay here, and this palace believes that General Zhang can protect this palace." ā€

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly, he knew Fu Shou's choice, since he had already arrived here overnight with the army, he would naturally never hide in Dingcheng, otherwise he would have gone to Zuo Fengyi at that time, why bother to come to the battlefield, hiding in Dingcheng at this time, everything before lost its meaning.

Jia Xu frowned rarely, looked at Zhang Liao's expression, seemed to have guessed something, and whispered: "No matter what, the middle palace can't be lost, otherwise it will be self-defeating." ā€

Zhang Liao nodded, he also understood this, but he was not worried in his heart, Hongnong Road was narrow, although Li Dao and Guo Yan had many soldiers and horses, they could not all be deployed, and the advantage of troops could not be brought into play, but his three thousand soldiers and horses were easy to fight, and he was half sure of it, and now that Gao Shun is coming, it is ten percent of it.
