The gate of Shu County is closed, but the defenders of the city are extremely pale, and their hearts are trembling, in this case, everyone knows that it is a matter of time before Shu County is captured, and the soldiers in the city have long been desperate, seeing the bloody situation outside the city, they don't even dare to open the city gate and escape, and those who can go up to the city tower to patrol are already extremely bold.

The enemy soldiers outside the city besieged but did not attack, and the pressure on them was even greater, and some soldiers had already collapsed.

Under Shuxian County, Liu Xun, who was in a cloak and scattered, knelt on the ground, a few days ago, he was in high spirits at this time, his eyes were blank, looking at the blood flowing on the ground, and Jingguan not far away, he was extremely frightened in his heart, thinking of his next fate, his whole body was weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Seeing the tens of thousands of armored soldiers around him with cold expressions and standing still in the rain, his heart was full of powerlessness.

Knowing that the consequences of ambushing Zhang Liao were so terrible, he would not participate in anything, thinking of Liu Ye's previous reminder to him, he regretted it in his heart. If he had listened to Liu Ye's words and had not ambushed Zhang Liao, how could he have ended up like this!

But it's too late, just because of one mistake, not only will I be killed, but I am afraid that countless lives in Lujiang County will be implicated.

……

In the handsome tent three miles north of Shuxian County, there were only Huang Zhong and Zang Ba, but the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Huang Zhong said in a deep voice: "The general was killed by the villain, and we killed the thief and the enemy for revenge, but it is not appropriate for Captain Xu to slaughter the city and kill ordinary people, if the general is here, he will never condone it." ”

Zang Ba was silent for a moment and said: "The general is not here, who can stop Xu Zhongkang, but I don't know ...... the general now."

Huang Zhong's face showed a sad color, they didn't want to believe that Zhang Liao died in battle, because the body of the general was never found, and Guan Ping, Dianman and hundreds of personal guards who lived for the rest of the disaster did not see Zhang Liao die in battle, but only saw Zhang Liao riding an elephant dragon and led away the enemy soldiers alone.

Now Guan Ping, Dian Man, Yang Han and others, a group of guards and shadows are frantically looking for Zhang Liao, Huang Zhong and Zang Ba also sent a large number of soldiers to look for it, even Zhuge Liang and Guo Huai are involved, but so far no trace of Zhang Liao has been found.

This made them have to have a bad guess in their hearts, could it be that the general was really killed? But what about corpses?

Without the general Zhang Liao, although they have soldiers and horses in hand, they are at a loss for the future, and they are a little overwhelmed in their hearts.

They had already heard that there had been a great change in the capital division, the Son of Heaven had fled eastward, and the imperial court had existed in name only, even if there were letters from Li Ru and Jia Xu to appease them, the two of them still could not feel at ease.

At this time, they became more aware of the importance of Zhang Liao, the lord, with Zhang Liao here, they could let go of their hands and feet to gallop on the battlefield and make meritorious contributions, but if Zhang Liao really died in battle, they would not know where to go.

Learn Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao to divide one side? Not to mention whether they have that mind, whether they have that reputation, that is, they have the mind and reputation, and it is unknown how many of their soldiers will follow them, without food and grass, without strategy, without goals, sooner or later they will be defeated.

The two were sitting on their own, and suddenly the guards outside came to report: Zhuge joined the army and asked to see him.

Hearing Zhuge Liang's request to see, the two of them couldn't help but move at the same time, could it be that the general has news?

The two of them got up almost at the same time and said in unison, "Come in!" ”

Soon, Zhuge Liang, who was covered in dust, hurriedly walked in.

Huang Zhong asked urgently, "Kong Ming, have you ever found out the news?" ”

Zhuge Liang took a breath and said: "Previously, the thieves all said that the general led the enemy to the west, and then turned to the northwest, and those black wind riders chased the northwest direction, Liang led people all the way to the west to investigate, at a fork, the thief soldier who was guarded said that because he found the general's armor in the northwest, he chased to the northwest, but Liang imagined that the general had always been good at adapting, and it should be a trick in the northwest to lead the enemy astray, but in fact, he turned to the southwest, so he went to the southwest to investigate. ”

Zhuge Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sure enough, in the southwest direction, a corpse was found that had been shot through by a spear, according to the captive Black Wind Rider, it was one of their commanders, Yuan Shot!" Now the shadow and the guards have all been looking for the southwest, but the area is vast and the terrain is complicated, so Liang rushed over and asked the two generals to send more troops and horses to search to the southwest. ”

"Good!" Zang Ba couldn't help but be overjoyed, looked at Huang Zhong, and said, "I will leave Xu Chu here, and the two of us will take all the soldiers and horses to search for the southwest." ”

"That's exactly how it should be!" Huang Zhong was also happy.

Previously, they couldn't find any clues to the west, but now with clues, there is hope.

……

Outside Shu County, Xu Chu stood in the rain, looking at the kneeling tens of thousands of Liu Xun soldiers and the bandits who had just been caught, his eyes burst with anger and murder, and he said sharply to the soldiers who were standing: "Lujiang guards Liu Xun too much, together with the thieves, and harms my lord, it is for great revenge, and I can't eat his flesh!" Sleep on the skin! Slaughter their people! Today, first kill these thieves and thieves, and then attack the city and slaughter! Avenge the General! ”

"Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! ”

"Kill! - Kill! - Kill! ——”

Sonor!

Xu Chu pulled out his waist knife, picked up Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, and was about to kill him, when suddenly a soldier hurriedly reported: "General Yu!" There was a man who asked for a meeting, claiming to have news from the general......"

Open!

Liu Xun was thrown to the ground, Xu Chu put the knife back in his waist, picked up the messenger soldier, and said urgently: "Where is the person?" Bring it on! No! Come here! ”

Liu Xun, who fell to the ground, and a group of kneeling soldiers raised their heads one after another when they heard this, and their eyes showed hope.

If Zhang Liao can be found, then they may be able to have hope.

Soon, a young scribe was brought over, Liu Xun saw this young man, and almost shouted out loud, how could he not recognize this young man, it was clearly Liu Ye!

Xu Chu saw Liu Ye who was brought over, strode up to meet him, and asked eagerly, "Did you really see the general?" ”

Liu Ye shook his head and said, "I've never seen it." ”

Sonor!

Xu Chu pulled out his waist knife and put it on Liu Ye's neck, and roared irritably: "You dare to tease me!" ”

Liu Ye said unhurriedly: "I have indeed never seen the general, but I know where the general is missing." ”

"Huh?" Xu Chu replied with disgust and rejoiced, and hurriedly put away the knife: "Hurry up!" If it is true, it will be rewarded to you! ”

Liu Ye glanced at Liu Xun who fell to the ground, hugged his fist to Xu Chu and said: "Don't want a heavy reward, I only have one request, if you can find the general, please bypass Liu Envoy Jun and these soldiers." ”

Xu Chu said impatiently: "If you really find the general, they will have their own general." ”

Liu Ye then said: "I caught a black wind horse, he chased and killed the general with Yuan a few days ago, more than a dozen people were killed by the general and only three people remained, and then the general in the northwest of Anhui County with people and horses fell into the Anhui River stream, all three of them were injured, and saw Yuan shot killed, fearful, unwilling to make a detour to catch up, since the general was difficult to spare, greedy for merit, he reported the general to die, and then the news was widely spread. ”

"Ahh Xu Chu's burly body couldn't stop trembling, and he held Liu Ye up, his face full of surprise: "Is this really the case?" ”

Liu Ye said: "It's true. ”

At this moment, Huang Zhong and Zang Ba brought Zhuge Liang to see Xu Chu, and the three of them were going to tell Xu Chu that they had news, but they didn't want Xu Chu to get more accurate news here, and they even had the location of the disappearance, so they were all very happy.

The situation today is that the news of falling into the water is 10,000 times better than the news of dying in battle!

Dying in battle means that there is no hope, but falling overboard means that there is a lot of hope!

With this news, Huang Zhong, Zang Ba, and Xu Chu couldn't care about Shu County, and immediately decided to lead troops to Anhui County to search.

The one who led the way was the Black Wind Rider who Liu Ye caught who lied about the military situation.

The Black Wind Rider who lied about the military situation didn't know, just because he was greedy for merit and passed on a fake news, but he didn't know how many heads he dropped and how many bigwigs he had killed.

At least Cao Cao and Liu Bei were tragic, and the wrong news made them make wrong judgments, leading to a miserable escape.

As for the Son of Heaven, not to mention, the entire imperial court was turned upside down.

If they knew that the culprit was here, I'm afraid they would have cut this guy with a thousand cuts a long time ago!
