Zhen Rong sighed in his heart, the grain and grass he brought now did not allow him to flee to Shouchun, so he persuaded him to break the Xuzhou army in front of him first, and it seemed to be a good way to supplement the baggage with his military resources, but it was too risky, if he was defeated, he would not even have the capital to lead the remnants of the defeated army to flee, so his idea was to immediately send troops to the pavilion to collect grain and grass, only if the grain and straw were sufficient, he would fight with Liu Lan on his back, which is called not thinking about victory, thinking about defeat first, which is the only way for the general to command the army.

After refusing everyone's invitation to fight, he issued an order and sent troops, but Captain Mu Chong didn't know why he had an ominous feeling in his heart, he found that the Xuzhou army in front of him had a big flag in front of him, including Xu Ziqi, Zhou Ziqi, Pei Ziqi, and Guan Ziqi, which is not the Liu Zixu Banner that did not represent Liu Lan, that is to say, the tens of thousands of soldiers in Xuzhou here were not led by Liu Lan himself, so where would Liu Lan be now?

He reminded him of the strangeness like Zhen Rong, but he didn't care about these things at all now, what he was most concerned about now was how much grain he could get from the people, but Mu Chong was also worried that if Liu Lan had already known the news that the Danyang army's grain and grass were about to run out, would he be calculating the Danyang army, once Zhen Rong really sent a grain grabbing force, there was a chance that he would fall into the trap laid by Liu Lan.

But even if he has seen everything, he can't stop Zhenrong, and now even if Liu Lan digs a pit in front of Zhenrong, he has to jump, this is Yangmou, suddenly, he inadvertently looked at the camp built by the Xuzhou army in the distance, if all this is a Yangmou from beginning to end, then the Xuzhou army that appeared beside them inexplicably is probably Liu Lan is forcing Zhenrong to attack.

There has never been such a thing as today, which will make Mu Chong feel that the conspiracy is more disgusting than the conspiracy, making people grit their teeth but powerless to do it. Especially Xue Li's surrender, he was even more shaken, and now he also had the idea of surrendering when the mountains and rivers are exhausted. But every time he thinks of Cao Bao's fate, every time he thinks of Zhen Rong's kindness, he abandons such thoughts, not because he can't make up his mind, but because he always thinks that a person has taken refuge in him when he is at his most beautiful. has been favored, then you must not leave him in the most difficult time, this is the foundation of a person's life, otherwise no matter how big the world is, I am afraid that there will be no place for him.

Time passed, the night was getting darker, but the looting team that went to the surrounding pavilions never sent back the news, and Zhenrong became agitated and paced back and forth in the tent. His face was full of worry, he was afraid that Mu Chong's prediction was right, in that case, tomorrow morning would be the last full meal for the Danyang army, and at that time, even if the Xuzhou army in front of him really had any conspiracy, he would have to send troops to attack.

"Didn't the scouts who sent out come back either?" Zhen Rong, who has always remained calm, said.

"Nope." All the generals are in the tent, and in such a grim situation, they want to change the fate in front of them. They must stay by the side of the lord and be at his disposal at all times. Launched a fierce attack on the Xuzhou army.

"Send it again!"

Report~~~~

Just as the second wave of scouts was sent out again, there was finally a sound outside the tent, and some scouts came back, they did not find the food grabbing troops, but they were besieged by the enemy, and then they saw Xue Li. He said that he escaped from Liu Lan, and there was a way to get out, as long as the general read the letter, he would know everything. “

"Bring it on!"

This Xue Li is very cunning, if he didn't pass the letter like this, he would still be suspicious, but his words would be undoubted. At this moment, he was sure in his heart that there was no doubt that Xue Li had escaped from Jiangdu, and the reason why he did not come to see him but pretended to pass the letter to others was naturally because he knew that he was deeply surrounded and did not dare to come rashly.

Zhen Rong unfolded the letter and just glanced at it, his expression began to be hideous, and he snorted coldly and burned the letter in front of the oil lamp, he never thought that Xue Li not only did not escape from Jiangdu, but also became Liu Lan's lobbyist, wanting him to surrender, it is absolutely impossible, even if he dies, Zhen Rong does not want to be the second Cao Bao!

But he didn't expect that since Xue Li could write a letter to persuade him, he could also persuade other Danyang troops, but instead of sending a letter to him, he followed the scout to approach the Danyang military camp and tied the letter to the arrow and shot it into the camp.

Today's night lieutenant is named Meng Guang, an authentic Danyang person, and Danyang belongs to Yangzhou, and now it is Yuan Shu who controls Shouchun in Yangzhou, it stands to reason that he will tend to the latter in the choice of Yuan Shu of Xuzhou Liu Lan or Shouchun, but it is not like that, after all, Yuan Shu drove Liu Shu away, so in his heart he is more willing to surrender Liu Xuan, and secondly, Liu Lan, he has never thought of surrendering to robbers like Yuan Shu.

It was because he learned that he could not go south to return to his hometown to take refuge in Danyang, but Liu Xuan, who was entrenched in Danyang, went to Shouchun instead, he had a pimple in his heart, but she couldn't change Zhenrong's mind at all, but everything changed with the inexplicable appearance of the flying arrow, the letter was seen by the soldiers, and then reported to him, before he saw the letter of persuasion, his first thought was to burn it, so as not to affect the military situation, but after watching the content of the letter out of curiosity, he gave up and let the situation develop without informing Zhenrong.

The content of the letter is actually very simple, to ensure the safety of everyone, never to be held accountable, and even in the letter Xue Li also promised that if anyone is willing to continue to stay in the Xuzhou army, he can keep his official position unchanged, if someone wants to return to their homeland, the Xuzhou army will also distribute money and food to ensure his safe return to Danyang County, and if anyone chooses to continue to stay in Xuzhou, no matter which county, the government will guarantee to allocate fields for them.

In the end, the letter also analyzed the situation of the Danyang army now, explaining that no matter how they resisted, they had no way to live, and if they wanted to live, they needed everyone to act, otherwise, when the Xuzhou army attacked at dawn, it would be full of corpses and tiles.

Meng Guang acquiesced in the letter to be delivered in the camp tent, at this time his first thought was to go to find Zhenrong, under the cold wind, full of heat, he expected to be able to persuade Zhenrong to surrender Liu Lan, but when he saw that Zhenrong was driven out before he finished speaking, his heart was completely cold, cold, he did not want to die with Zhenrong, unlike Mu Chong, he moved to today's position because of military achievements, although they are known as the Danyang Army, but Danyang people like him have always been excluded from the Xuzhou generals headed by Zhenrong, At this moment, he decided to take his brothers to Liu Lan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The news that Meng Guang opened the gate of the village and escaped quickly reached Zhenrong's ears, and he was stunned, what he was most afraid of really happened. Moreover, there are more and more Danyang troops who have escaped, and now it is impossible for him to reverse the situation even if he wants to.

"Heaven is dead, I am melting." Zhen Rong escaped from the sword, but before the sword reached his neck, he was stopped by the generals: "The lord can't!" ”

"The defeat is decided, and if I die today, you can open the camp gate. Completely surrender Liu Lan, otherwise you will be affected by me! "Thinking that in the future, there will be no place to stand, but I will have to stay by Liu Lan's side, I am worried, rather than living a life like Cao Bao's nest, it is better to die and be free!

"The difference between the lord and the father, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, why bother to lose their minds because of this war? When the minister heard that at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Gaozu defeated Xiang Yu several times, but in the end he succeeded in the battle of Jiuli Mountain. Now the lord, although he and Xiang Yu generally lead three thousand Jiangdong Danyang disciples, they can never imitate Xiang Yu. ”

"But Xiang Yu still had Danyang's children to die for him back then, but now Danyang's children are all leaving me!"

"The lord is surprised, the Danyang army is gone, you can recruit again, the lord is gone, there is nothing, at this moment, the lord must not learn Xiang Yu. When you imitate Gaozu, you can't lose your mind. ”

"Yes, my lord. In my opinion, isn't it a good thing for the Danyang army to surrender to the enemy? ”

"How?"

"Imagine if the lord leads tens of thousands of Danyang troops to break through to join Yuan Shu, it will be even more difficult, but only I will wait for thousands of people, and the number of people will be small and only need to carry the necessary rations to be able to break through secretly, and as the rebels flee one after another, Liu Lan will not be able to be distracted in order to appease the fleeing army. The lord took advantage of this opportunity to escape to Shouchun, and took advantage of the momentum of Yuan Shu to develop again, and he will definitely be able to avenge today's revenge! ”

When it comes to the word revenge, the eyes of the generals around Zhenrong are full of strong fire of revenge and status. Wealth, everything has come to naught because of Liu Lan, this revenge must be avenged, and sooner or later one day Liu Lan will have to taste the taste of betrayal and separation.

Zhen Rong closed his eyes, the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, he was convinced, it is better to die than to live, suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head to look at everyone, and said: "Let's go, let's go to Yangzhou, go to Shouchun, go to Yuan Shu!" ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Xuzhou army appeared not long after escaping from the barracks with thousands of Danyang troops, fighting and fleeing all the way, but found that the Xuzhou army has always been ghostly, like maggots on tarsal bones, and the most important thing is that you don't know when the Xuzhou army will suddenly emerge from both sides, like a hungry wolf, bite the meat and merge with the pursuing troops behind, not entangled but annoying.

Why are there so many Xuzhou troops.

Zhen Rong felt that he had fallen into a trap, especially when he thought of Xue Li's appearance, this thought was even deeper, how many such small forces in front of him would suddenly kill him I don't know, but if it continued like this, all these people around him would be killed on the way to Shouchun.

His heart was full of fear, he was afraid that all this was arranged by Liu Lan, and he was afraid that he was jumping into Liu Lan's trap step by step.

Be sure to break through. Zhenrong, who fled towards the road ahead, soon found that there was no more enemy in front of him, which made him often breathe a sigh of relief, but the danger was not far away, and the pursuers behind him had been following them closely, no matter how hard they tried to escape, they could not get rid of them.

But just when they were running ******** wildly, a group of people and horses were killed on both sides of the road, the number of people was much more than them, and if they wanted to break through, they had to fight to the death, of course, there was another option at this time, that is, surrender, if the person who met here today was someone else, maybe Zhen Rongzhen would have surrendered, but it was not someone else who appeared in front of the team, but the old enemy Cao Bao.

The so-called enemies are very red when they meet, and even if they die in battle in the next moment, they will pull this old enemy off the horse!

Zhen Rong led the Danyang army to kill Cao Bao, who also danced his spear at the same time, and killed Zhen Rong like a tiger descending from the mountain.

"Rush, rush out of a bloody road, we must not die here!" Under the leadership of Zhen Rong, these trusted guards danced their swords and slaughtered the Xuzhou army led by Cao Bao.

"None of them will be left!"

Cao Bao took the lead, the spear swept away, stabbed a Danyang soldier to death with a snort, blood gushed out, and the pain resounded through the sky, but Cao Bao didn't pay attention to it at all, he only had the Danyang army in front of him, and Zhenrong behind them.

"Kill!"

The red-eyed Cao Bao once again greeted the second enemy pawn, and the anger that had been held in his heart for several months seemed to be completely vented at this moment, and the spear in his hand danced wildly, killing several Danyang soldiers in just the blink of an eye.

"Fusion. Go to hell! Cao Baohu roared, raised his spear, and went straight to Zhenrong.

"That's what I'm going to say to you!" Zhen Rong drank frantically and greeted Cao Bao.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, Di Rong stabbed him in the back of the abdomen with a knife behind him, and Cao Bao didn't know when he had already restrained the war horse, Zhen Rong didn't look back to see who betrayed him at the last moment, his bloodshot eyes just stared at Cao Bao, and the latter laughed unscrupulously at this moment: "Zhen Rong, Zhen Rong, you are in vain, didn't you think that I had installed a cronie next to you when you arranged people around me?" ”

"Cao Bao, we have been fighting all our lives, today I was planted under you, I expected it, but what about you? Even if you kill me today, what's the use, Liu Lan...... I won't let you go, I'll wait for you below today, and it won't be long before I'm sure you'll come with me! Ha~~Ha~~Ha~~Ha~~Ha! ”

"Don't worry, I won't kill you, I'll torture you little by little, remember the scene when we first met? Everything is often like this, how similar is the situation now to back then, I still live in the temple, you are a prisoner of Chu, but this time you didn't kneel down and beg me, if you want, I will let you go, and I will still be in Tao...... Liu Lan recommended you in front of him, and it won't be long before you can be on an equal footing with me again! ”

It's like a lifetime, everything seems to have returned to the beginning, as if waking up from a big dream, nothing happened, but he knows that it has happened, and now it is not like at the beginning, Cao Bao is not as relied on by Liu Lan as Tao Qian, and he will not be used by Tao Qian as a pawn to contain Cao Bao, and it is difficult for him to do such a shameful thing as kneeling and begging for mercy like he did back then.

He had sworn that the revenge would be avenged sooner or later, but he lost his word.

Di Rong struggled to kill Cao Bao again, but this time Cao Bao was still as he said, he would slowly torture Zhen Rong, he did not lose his words, a shot pierced the wrist held on the saber, and instantly swept it, knocking it off the horse.

Zhen Rong still had his last breath, struggling on the ground in great pain, the muscles of the abdominal wound were even more spasmodic and convulsive, and one hand was holding the wrist pierced by the spear, but no matter how he tried to cover it, he couldn't stop the blood from flowing out.

Cao Bao admired this exciting picture, especially the expression of his eyes that kept rolling upwards made him dripping with joy, there had never been a moment like today to relieve his anger and hatred, but when he raised his spear again and was ready to completely free Zhen Rong, his palm suddenly stopped, just now Zhen Rong went down to wait for him first The words did not stab him in the sore spot, Xu is the rabbit died and the fox was sad, at this moment instead of sending him on the road with his own hands, he shouted to the Danyang sergeant: "Everyone discard their weapons, carry him, and follow me to see Liu Zhoumu!"
