"Dezu, what are you doing?" Seeing that his son gathered a lot of young people together, Yang Biao was puzzled.

"It was General Zhao's order to let me lead people to prepare some stones on several steep hillsides, since these guards have limited combat power, just let them do what they can."

Yang Biao sighed, his brows tightened, "Can this be used, Zhao Yun has less than 2,000 soldiers around him, and Guo Yan has more than 30,000 people." ”

In order to stabilize people's hearts, Yang Biao didn't dare to say it too directly, but he was really uneasy in his heart, and he didn't have any bottom at all.

Yang Xiu smiled, "Father, don't worry, Zhao Yun said that he has a way to repel Guo Yan." ”

"I hope so."

Seeing that it was noon, Yang Biao was worried about everyone's food, but Zhao Yun brought people back, Zhao Yun walked like flying, and carried a cheetah on his shoulder, and the others also had more or less gains, and after a while, pheasants, mountain hares, roe deer, robes, and a lot of piles.

Zhao Yun smiled, asked people to cook immediately, and as soon as he turned around, Zhao Yun couldn't take a break, and walked down the mountain with five hundred people.

Yang Biao roughly counted more than four hundred, he nodded, it seemed that the casualties were not large, and asked, "I don't know how the battle was just now?" How many casualties did Guo Yan have? ”

A soldier said with a little smugness: "The lord took 500 of us down the mountain to ambush, killing more than 800 enemies, and only more than 50 were killed or wounded on our side." ”

"Oh? How disparity in casualties can be? Yang Biao was greatly surprised, and hurriedly asked about the details, and the soldier suddenly became interested, so he talked endlessly.

The civil and military courtiers were all hanging in their hearts, worried that they would be taken away by Guo Yan, but at this moment, they were all relieved.

On the contrary, it was Yang Xiu, who didn't say a word, his expression was a little grim, and after a while, seeing that many family guards came over to listen with relish, Yang Xiu snorted coldly, "Don't be stunned, we still have a task." ”

Zhao Yun led people to kill the enemy in blood, although he could cause a lot of casualties to the enemy every time, but Yang Xiu knew very well that Zhao Yun's soldiers were limited after all, and if one died, there would be one less, and the way to Luoyang was still very long, even if he could leave Huashan smoothly, the situation was still not optimistic.

Compared with the two, Yang Xiu became more and more disappointed with the almost cumbersome family guards around him.

There are now 8,000 people in the team, and there are no less than 4,000 guards from the family alone, but they can't withstand anything, except for being able to eat and drink, they are all useless waste, of course, this also includes the guards of Yang Xiu's family.

The reason why there is such a view, in the final analysis, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry brought by Zhao Yun is too strong, and they are all good hands when they step down, they can charge on the horse, and they can subdue the tiger when they get off the horse, they are all all-round brave warriors, but in order to protect these people, the Yanyun Iron Cavalry has been repeatedly reduced, and no one can say whether they can hold it to Luoyang.

But Zhao Yun did not complain at all, and Yan Yun Tieqi was never afraid of life and death.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhao Yun took people back, this time, there were a lot of people, they couldn't come back, Zhao Yun didn't eat a mouthful of food at noon, and he didn't get a rest, after coming back, Zhao Yun first inspected the general and confirmed that nothing happened, so he hurriedly ate a few bites.

"Zhao Yun!"

Dong Guiren snorted coldly, and walked over angrily with his skirt.

Zhao Yun looked up at her, "What's the matter?" Dong Guiren. ”

"Did you mean to? Your mission is to escort us to Luoyang safely, why do you let us hide in the deep mountains and jungles, do you want us to be savages? ”

"Do you want to be a wildling?" Zhao Yun said, unbuttoning the armor on his upper body.

No one paid attention to it before, but after the armor was taken off, it was discovered that Zhao Yun had an arrow inserted in his chest, the arrow had already been cut off, and Zhao Yun's robe had already been dyed red.

Glancing at Jing Bei, Zhao Yun instructed, "Jing Bei, help me dig out the arrow." ”

"Yes!"

Jingbei felt a little sorry for Zhao Yun, but he didn't expect the lord to be injured.

Dong Guiren was also frightened by the bloody arrow wound and closed his mouth, and when the robe was untied, Dong Guiren couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and hurriedly turned his body over.

Zhao Yun didn't bother with her, but persuaded, "I will send you back to Luoyang safely." ”

Fu Shou also walked over, took Dong Guiren's hand, and persuaded her away.

Dong Cheng was eating barbecue, while rolling his eyes to look at Zhao Yun secretly, although Zhao Yun had done enough, whether it was loyalty or ability, it was beyond reproach, but Dong Cheng was most concerned about whether he could arrive in Luoyang safely.

There was no knife medicine around him, and he didn't ask for anesthetic, so he dug out the arrow directly, Jing Bei was about to cry in distress, Zhao Yun looked at him gently, "Jing Bei, it's nothing, just do it." ”

"Then the lord, you have to hold back."

Jing Bei gritted his teeth, burned the dagger on the fire for a while, and then stabbed the blade into the flesh with a thud...... Zhao Yun didn't say a word except for a few slight frowns on his brows.

The soldiers all gathered around, their hearts were tense, they all respected Zhao Yun from the bottom of their hearts, and even those family guards were in awe, and secretly gave a thumbs up.

After the wound was bandaged, Yang Xiu personally walked over with a roast chicken and half a jar of wine, "General Zhao, you have eaten all day and been injured again, you have to make up for it." ”

…………

Accompanied by Wang Yue, Jia Xu came all the way to Tongguan, and when he saw Xu Huang, the guard of Tongguan, Jia Xu gave a brief introduction to the situation on Zhao Yun's side.

Xu Huang frowned, and asked with a worried face, "The lord is too risky to do this, even if he hides in Huashan, he can rely on the terrain of the mountains and forests to resist Guo Yan, but Guo Yan's strength is more than ten times that of the lord, and the stiffness lasts, and the situation is not good." ”

Jia Xu nodded, "Therefore, the general must cooperate with the lord and take the initiative to attack, and strive to let the lord pass through Tongguan as soon as possible." ”

"Take the initiative?"

Xu Huang sighed, "The lord once told me, no matter what, Tongguan must not be lost, now Yuan Shao sent 50,000 troops, Luoyang is in a dangerous war, the situation is unfavorable, at this time, if I take the troops away, once Tongguan is lost, how can I represent the main bus?" ”

Xu Huang is not a brave warrior who only knows how to obey orders and kill, he has insight and strategy, and the current situation cannot be impulsive and risk-taking, only by holding Tongguan and Hangu Pass, the lord can successfully reach Luoyang.

Jia Xu smiled, "At this time, at that time, general, it is precisely because you dare not send troops that Guo Yan dares to raise troops to surround Huashan, if you send troops to attack from behind, you will be able to receive miraculous results, the current situation, it is far from enough to ensure that the road is smooth, it is necessary to let the lord return to Luoyang as soon as possible to preside over the overall situation, as for Luoyang and Hangu Pass, you can rest assured, I guarantee that it will be fine." ”
