After listening to Yan Xing's worries, Xi Zhicai was also a little helpless, even if he was a resourceful person, sometimes in the face of the embarrassing situation of having no soldiers in his hands, he also sighed that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

And the situation in Hedong, after Niu Fu led the army to move to Shaanxi County, really developed towards the trend of the worries he confided to Zhou Liang in the winter.

Planning late at night, Xi Zhicai could only cheer up and pointed to the Henan land on the map.

"As soon as the spring of this year began, the soldiers and horses of Li, Guo, and Zhang broke through Zhu Jun of Zhongmu, attacked Yingchuan, Chenliu and other places, and the troops were very sharp, and after the battle of Gongsun Bogui and Yuan Benchujieqiao, they were still fighting fiercely, and Yuan Highway was trapped in the war in Jingnan, and he was unable to look north, and Yan, Xu, Qing and other prefectures had their own yellow turbans and were difficult to rescue."

"According to the situation in the military report, the iron cavalry under the command of these three captains is afraid that they will be able to gallop on the land of the Central Plains for a long time, and Henan has been recovered.

Yan Xing frowned, what Xi Zhicai said was indeed the trend of the current situation, but he had also received a letter from Li Ru from Chang'an, although the letter did not clearly say what the specific situation in Chang'an was, but between the lines, there was no longer the confidence to guide the country when he first entered Luoyang.

I am afraid that Li Ru has lost his position in Chang'an, and there are treacherous things in Chang'an City, and it has only been long since the case of Wu Fu's assassination of Dong in the past year, and many courtiers have been implicated. But it is difficult to guarantee whether the plan against Dong Zhuoxin has occurred again, Yan Xing remembers, but he always remembers that the assassination of Dong Zhuo is the Lu Bu Lu Fengxian who has met in the Luoyang Forest Garden.

The specific date cannot be determined, but looking at the situation, it will not be too long before the Chang'an incident. Now, the closer Yan Xing's original plan came true, Yan Xing's heart became more urgent.

History may not have changed the general direction, but the process of his management of Hedong is not as easy as he said with Gan Ling and Xi Zhicai.

Yan Xing knew that he must not mess with himself at this time, he quickly adjusted his breathing that had become rapid due to irritability, exhaled again, and clenched the hilt of the sword, at this time, what could directly give him confidence and strength was the familiar blade in his hand.

Xi Zhi noticed Yan Xing's abnormal appearance, but he was a smart person, and he didn't break it directly, but waited until Yan Xing calmed down, and then explained several key points about this march that he thought of with Yan Xing one by one.

In the end, Xi Zhicai smiled self-deprecatingly and said:

"This march reminds me of the situation when gambling with people in the market, and the scene of fighting big with small in the past seems to reappear in front of me!"

Xi Zhicai's uninhibited appearance in Yangcheng, Yan Xing has seen a lot, although he has been a lot more stable and solemn after he took office, but occasionally the old state relapses, Yan Xing also laughed at it, he was originally a strong son of a frontier safari and Ren Xia, and he had a little pity for Xi Zhicai's uninhibited and polite behavior.

Seeing that the military situation was urgent and the war drums were urging people, Xi Zhicai laughed instead, talking about the gambling in the market that had nothing to do with the current situation of the war, Yan Xing did not blame, but smiled and opened his mouth slightly, but then he still did not speak.

His anxious mood just now was diluted a lot by Xi Zhicai's uninhibited words, and he originally wanted to ask Xi Zhicai how he won or lost with a small fight, but after thinking about it, he decided not to ask.

If Xi Zhi wins, he must not be that down-and-out appearance when he meets him in Yangcheng.

Xi Zhicai saw that Yan Xing wanted to speak and stopped, smiled, and didn't talk about the victory or defeat, but picked up the current conversation.

"Therefore, when I contacted this military incident, I had eight words in my heart to present to the captain."

"Which eight characters?"

This time, Yan Xing finally spoke.

"Attack the heart first, eliminate the evil!"

···

"Messengers, step up, don't be greedy for a moment of rest, and lose your life in vain."

Yang Feng lay on the bumpy wagon, pulling his dry throat and ordering with the guards outside the car.

The curtain of the cart had been removed, and looking at the gradual dawn outside, Yang Feng looked at the soldiers who had fled overnight and were tired, gritted his teeth, and decided that he could not give the order to rest, but ordered to speed up the march.

Looking at the outline of the sky in the distance, Yang Feng's heart fluctuated, although a day had passed, it made him feel like a world away, and the changes in yesterday's encounter hit his mind like a nightmare.

After the banquet melee yesterday at noon, although Yang Feng cut down Cheng Yin, he was also stabbed by Cheng Yin, plus he broke through in the back, and was stabbed twice in the back.

Yang Feng, who led the defeated soldiers and fled back to the camp with serious injuries, had just finished bandaging his wounds, and before he had time to order troops to kill Cheng Yin's camp and take revenge on Guo Tai and Cheng Yin, bad news came from the scouts in the army.

Hu Cai and Han Xian claimed that Guo Tai had been stabbed to death by the assassins sent by Yang Feng, and gathered Guo Tai, Cheng Yin, and their soldiers and horses to ask for the guilt, and came to Yang Feng's camp in a rage.

Yang Feng originally thought that Hu Cai and Han Xian wanted to help him get out of trouble, but now it seems that he has fallen into a conspiracy, and he has unknowingly become the target of public criticism. On the one hand, he gathered troops to defend the camp, and on the other hand, he sent two groups of messengers to ask for help from the Xiliang army in Linfen, in an attempt to redeem the disadvantage.

Unexpectedly, the defeat was like a mountain. Yang Feng's soldiers and horses lasted until dusk, but they could not withstand the wanton attack of Hu Cai, Han Xian and others, and the camp gate was quickly breached, and even the camp was completely destroyed. In a desperate situation, Yang Feng could only abandon the others, take a few soldiers and horses, and flee to Linfen in the south.

Hu Cai and Han Xian's pursuers chased and killed for a while at night, but because it was dark, they were gradually gotten rid of by Yang Feng and others. However, Yang Feng was also like a frightened bird, not daring to stop at all, let alone crossing the mountain road of Baibo Valley in the dark, but took a long way to bypass the Baibo Valley that had been reduced to ruins.

Expecting that Hu Cai, Han Xian and others should not chase after him again, Yang Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but thinking that he would soon enter the territory of Linfen, he had a lot of gains and losses in his heart.

The day before, he was still ambitious and wanted to replace Mrs. Guo, but he didn't expect that in ten days, he would become a remnant of the defeated army, and his future was bleak.

If you are still strong and friendly with the Xiliang Army, you can also rely on it, but now that you are defeated and fled, you will be able to defect to the Xiliang Army, just like a lost dog, sending people to shelter under the fence, and I don't know how the fierce and vicious Xiliang Army will treat these remnants of their own soldiers.

Just when Yang Feng was suffering from gains and losses, the soldiers in front shouted loudly.

"Look, there's a soldier ahead!"

This shout immediately made Yang Feng's fugitives panic immediately.

"Don't panic, I have sent a messenger to Linfen for help, presumably the Xiliang army sent a cavalry to meet us in front."

Yang Feng's subsequent shout made the uneasy defeated soldiers settle down.

"Send a few quick-eyed people to look at the banners of the soldiers and horses in front of them, and report quickly!"

Although Yang Feng stabilized the army's heart, he didn't know whether the soldiers and horses in front of him were the Xiliang Army, but in his mind, at this time, the garrison could wait in front of him, probably only the reinforcements sent by the Xiliang Army.

The mist had not yet dissipated, and the few soldiers sent out by Yang Feng had to get closer to see the banners of the soldiers and horses in the fog.

It's a pity that this army did not put up a banner, so those soldiers could not confirm their identities, so they could only move forward again to inspect the armor of the opponent's soldiers and horses.

As the distance gradually got closer, the sharp-eyed soldiers finally saw that the soldiers and horses on the opposite side were also wearing the armor of the White Polish Army, and they roared loudly and were about to run back. And the Baibo pursuers on the opposite side also saw them clearly, and immediately fired arrows at them.

"It's a chaser!"

Several soldiers who went to inspect shouted as they walked, which suddenly made Yang Feng's soldiers and horses, who had just settled down, chaotic again.

Why did these pursuers chase to the front?

Yang Feng was also surprised by this question, and when he saw the Baibo Valley that had just been bypassed not far away, he was shocked, it was not Hu Cai and Han Xian who divided their troops and rushed into the valley overnight and copied them in front of him.

It is true that in order to avoid the pursuers, Yang Feng's troops did not dare to hold open flames high at night, and naturally did not dare to take the steep mountain road, but Hu Cai and Han Xian pursued them eagerly, but they did not have this worry, they were worried that Yang Feng, who was familiar with Bai Bo's internal situation, would flee to Linfen, attracting a large number of Xiliang troops to the north, so the two divided their troops to make a detour to pursue, vowing to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and wipe out the remnants of Yang Feng here.

Yang Feng watched the arrows in front of him fall like rain, knowing that with the remnants of his current position, he would definitely not be able to resist these pursuers, and was about to abandon the team in front of him, turn around and return to the original way, looking for the mountains and forests to hide, but before the order was issued, the team in the rear shouted again, shouting that the pursuers behind had already caught up.

"Thief God, are you trying to force me to death!"

Yang Feng struggled to get up on the cart, holding the ring knife, like a beast that was injured and forced into a corner, roaring and getting out of the car to fight to the death.

But before he could give the order, the teams in front and behind had already begun to collapse, and the soldiers around him ignored Yang Feng, leaving the team and starting to flee.

Yang Feng saw that the overall situation had gone, and sighed, he knew that if he fell into the hands of Hu Cai and Han Xian, he must not end up well, rather than begging for death and being humiliated, it was better to kill himself directly, he raised the ring knife, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and was ready to end his life with hatred.

The blade reached the edge of his neck, Yang Feng pulled it ruthlessly, but found that he didn't pull it, he opened his eyes in surprise, but a guard pulled his arm with joy.

"Qu Shuai, I don't have to die, you listen, it's the sound of horses' hooves!"

Yang Feng's eyes widened instantly, and he pricked up his ears to listen desperately to the sound of the life-saving horse's hooves.

Sure enough, from far and near, in addition to the loud shouts, there was also the sound of horses' hooves rumbling like thunder.

In the winter of last year, the Baibo army couldn't even feed people, and the war horses had already been killed and made military rations, where could there be so many cavalry.

At present, there are still so many cavalry in Hedong, and only the Xiliang Army can be used.

This time, it's really the Xiliang cavalry who is here!
