Chapter 545: Escape

Liu Bowen had already designed the back road, and he led 300 people to jump down the mountain road from the mountain forest, and rode on the horse at the end of the horse to the north. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 In the middle of the mountain road, the boulder that had been pushed down had long been blocked and impassable, blocking the yellow cover who was rushing to pursue at the other end.

Huang Gai could only watch Liu Bowen and his party flee on horseback.

"Hateful, despicable villain!" Huang Gai roared and rode over the stone pile to prepare for pursuit, the road boulder was craggy, and the war horse could not climb over it no matter what, the steel whip in Huang Gai's hand directly broke the horse's back stock, and the visible horse fell down with a hoof, and Huang Gai also fell on the stone pile, and rolled down, the steel helmet also fell, and the body was blue and purple and embarrassed.

Everyone hurriedly helped Huang Gai up, Huang Gai's hair was messy, his eyes were red, and he exuded a terrifying aura. He roared, "Why don't you move the stone for me quickly?" I am the only one who has run away from the thief. ”

On weekdays, Huang Gai treats soldiers like brothers and sisters, and today it is no wonder that Huang Gai is so vicious. That Sun Jian was hit by dozens of arrows in his body, I am afraid that he will not be able to live, on the one hand, he is anxious about Sun Jian, and on the other hand, he has to pursue his brother and apprentice, and now that the road is blocked, his mood can be imagined how manic he is.

Liu Bowen walked out of more than ten miles with soldiers and horses, and in a blink of an eye it was a mountain road winding, Yangzhou was vast and sparsely populated, and most of the population was gathered in Lujiang, Jiujiang, Wujun, Danyang, and Yuzhang and Huiji were mountainous and sparsely populated. In the blink of an eye, it was another mountain, Liu Bowen's eyes turned and he had an idea, and he stretched out his hand to make a gesture to stop the march.

"What's wrong with the military advisor? The pursuers soon caught up! Pei Jun saw that Liu Bowen stopped moving forward and wondered.

"Don't worry, Sun Jian was hit by dozens of arrows before, but I'm afraid he won't survive, Cheng Pu returned with him, and Huang Gai, who chased us, only brought more than 100 people. Look at the winding mountain road ahead, we bend our bows and arrows at the bend in front, that Huang Gai is eager to break us into pieces at this moment, he will definitely gallop here, once we ambush, he will be caught off guard! Liu Bowen pointed to the mountain road ahead and said.

Pei Jun looked intently and saw that the mountain road ahead was a big bend, which was originally straight, but suddenly turned right. In this way, he couldn't see the situation at the next intersection clearly, thinking of this, Pei Jun said with a smile: "What the military advisor said is good, let's quickly go where to set up an ambush, wait for Huang Gai to be repulsed, and when he returns to Yichun, he is inviting chasing soldiers, we are only afraid that we will have a few hours to leave!"

"All the soldiers follow me to the next intersection to set up an ambush!" Liu Bowen shouted and rushed forward with three hundred soldiers, and laid an ambush at the corner.

But suddenly Huang Gai led the troops to arrive, he was frantic at the moment, he only wanted to avenge Sun Jian, was he desperately running wildly, where would the cavalry investigate? When they came to the intersection, they suddenly turned a corner and collided with the three hundred cavalry led by Liu Bowen. Without saying a word, a burst of arrows struck, Huang Gai was so frightened that he shuddered and hurriedly parried with the double whip, avoiding fatal injuries such as the head, but he was hit by a few arrows on his body, and the cavalry who came behind him also suffered a lot of casualties.

After a rain of arrows, Pei Jun rushed over with three hundred cavalry, Huang Gai was about to avenge Sun Jian, so he picked Pei Jun to fight, Huang Gai was cowardly, and most of the hundred and ten cavalry who followed around were killed by arrows, and now the three hundred cavalry are rushing up, and they are almost dead and wounded.

Seeing that the thief army was too strong to resist, and Huang Gai was injured again, he hurriedly fled by the way, intending to return to Yichun to rescue the soldiers.

…………

"Medic! Where is the military doctor! ”

On the other side, Cheng Pu rushed back to Yichun with Sun Jian's body, Yichun had been taken by Sun Jun at this moment, and Cheng Pu took Sun Jian back to the camp to find a military doctor to treat Sun Jian's injuries. A group of generals and colonels also gathered around the barracks, and when they saw Sun Jian on the bed, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"What's wrong with my lord, how can I be seriously injured like this?"

"My lord? Lord! ”

Sun Jian on the bed was unconscious, many people knew that Sun Jian might have returned to the Nine Shadows, but no one dared to probe Sun Jian's snort.

"The lord took us to pursue Liu Bowen, I didn't want to be ambushed halfway, the lord took the lead and was hit by a few arrows, I knew that I would open the road for the lord!" Cheng Pu said with a sad face.

When Xiao Moke heard this, he knelt down in front of Sun Jian's bed, and cried: "Lord, I hurt you, I hurt you."

At this time, the military doctor was also late, everyone hurriedly got out of the way, and the military doctor came to see Sun Jian covered with arrow wounds and couldn't help but feel numb on the scalp, knowing that Sun Jian had already lost his breath, but he also called the pulse decently, and only cried after a while: "Lord, why did you leave."

The generals finally couldn't hold on, and knelt in front of Sun Jian's collapse one by one and cried.

At this time, the embarrassed Huang Gai also returned to Yichun, and saw a cry inside the camp gate, where did he not know that Sun Jian had fallen? He also fell to his knees outside the tent and began to cry loudly.

"General Huang is back? What about thieves? Where is the thief who killed the lord, I will break his body into ten thousand pieces! Seeing Huang Gai returning, a general excitedly grabbed Huang Gai's shoulder and asked eagerly.

The generals came to the tent one after another to execute the murderer of Sun Jian.

"I'm incompetent, I couldn't catch the thieves and let them run!" Speaking of this, Huang Gai was even more guilty, crying a handful of snot and tears.

"It's hateful, the lord was killed, the thief leader is still at large, and all the soldiers will follow me to arrest the thief!" Xiao Moke was furious, so he called on the generals to arrest Liu Bowen.

The soldiers were indignant and wanted to go with Xiao Moke.

"Stop, Xiao Moke, don't be impulsive, the lord is newly mourned, our foothold in Yangzhou is not stable, do you want to make everyone know about it? Are you going to ruin the lord's unfinished business? Cheng Pu hurriedly called out to Xiao Moke.

Xiao Moke reacted at this time, Sun Jian had just died, and now they are in Yuzhang, Yuzhang, and Huiji have not yet been completely settled. In other places, once the news of Sun Jian's death spreads, it will definitely be smoking.

Xiao Moke clenched his fists and arched his hand: "It's me who is impulsive, General Cheng Pu is an old minister who follows the lord, and he also asks the general to be the master for the time being, and command me to wait!"

Cheng Pu nodded and said, "Let's enter the account and talk secretly!" Let the soldiers guard the tents and not come near! ”

The generals entered the camp tent, and Cheng Pu said: "The top priority at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the army, and the body of the lord will be placed in the camp for the time being. Secondly, the major general is over 20 years old, extremely brave, and has the style of a lord, so we should quickly invite the major general to come here and preside over the overall situation. ”

"What about the thief who killed the lord? Don't you care? Ichisho said angrily.

"They only have 300 people, but the cavalry movement is very large, according to Liu Xuan, they are going to vote for the Son of Heaven, want to reach the rule of the Son of Heaven, there are only two roads, one is to the west through Jingzhou to Nanyang, and the other is through the Lujiang River, Yuzhou to Nanyang. Tell me, which way did they go? Cheng Pu asked in a loud voice.

After listening to Cheng Pu's analysis, everyone already had a result in their hearts, and Huang Gai said: "Major General Lujiang is not stationed there, and besides, he has to pass through Yuzhou, not to mention the long distance, and it is not safe. They will definitely go from Jingzhou to Nanyang! ”

"Then it's easy to do, I'll send someone to block the western checkpoint and mobilize troops and horses to wait in the west!"

The generals discussed and decided that Huang Gai would go north to Lujiang, tell Sun Ce about Sun Jian's death in battle, and ask Sun Ce to go south to preside over the overall situation. Han Dang, Xiao Moke led 5,000 soldiers and horses to the west, guarded various checkpoints, and captured Liu Bowen and his party. Han Dang stabilized the army's heart in Yichun and guarded Sun Jian's corpse.

In a blink of an eye, this day has passed, and at this moment, Liu Bowen and his entourage have arrived a hundred miles north of Yichun.

In a mountain forest, it was pitch black, Liu Bowen took three hundred soldiers to hide here, the war horse was tied to the tree, and the soldiers leaned against the tree to sleep. Liu Bowen and Pei Jun leaned against a big tree, Pei Jun asked: "Strategist, let's kill Sun Jian, although we forced Huang Gai back, but the chasing soldiers will arrive soon, what should we do now?"

Liu Bowen said in a deep voice: "Let's take the mountain road to the north to Lujiang!"

"What to go to Lujiang? Don't go to Jingzhou? Pei Jun was shocked.

"Don't go to Jingzhou, what you can think of, others can also think of it, I'm afraid that there are a large number of soldiers and horses chasing and intercepting in the west at the moment, let's go the other way, others think that we want to go from Jingzhou to Nanyang, let's go from Lujiang!" Trek all the way through the mountains and rivers, will not reveal your whereabouts, and the melons, fruits, birds and beasts in the mountains are enough to satisfy your hunger! Liu Bowen replied.

"But what's the use of going to Lujiang, it's still Sun Jian's territory, and you have to go through Zhao Kuangyin's territory to go to the Son of Heaven, which is even more troublesome!"

The corners of Liu Bowen's mouth hooked: "It's easy to go to Lujiang, I bought a family property in Lujiang, and I can pretend to be a businessman and go to Nanyang when the time comes!"

"Strategist, you are really clever, you have already left a back hand! In that case, let's go to Lujiang from the mountain road! Pei Jun said happily.

"Those war horses are useless anymore, leave a few horses for transport, and let the others go, so as not to reveal our whereabouts!" Liu Bowen advised.

As soon as the sky dawned the next day, Liu Bowen took the soldiers from the mountain road to the north, but he was not afraid of getting lost, Liu Bowen had already sent someone to draw a map. The war horses were also lost, and the hooves of the war horses were tied with cloth to avoid leaving footprints, and there were soldiers behind them to destroy the marching footprints and hide their tracks.

And Han Dang, Xiao Moke strictly checked the various checkpoints in the west and could not find any trace of Liu Bowen, knowing that the scope of the search was expanded a few days later, and only then did he find the war horse discarded by Liu Bowen. And in the deep mountains and old forests, the signs of Liu Bowen's march have long been destroyed by wild beasts, but where can they be found?

And Sun Ce, who was in Jiujiang, had already received a message from Huang Gai and went south to preside over the overall situation, leaving Zhou Yu to guard Shouchun.

A few days later, Liu Bowen walked out of the mountains and forests with 300 soldiers and arrived at the junction of Yuzhang and Lujiang. Although they were embarrassed, they also encountered a lot of fierce beasts along the way, but fortunately, with Pei Jun's protection, Danyang soldiers were fierce people who came out of the mountains and forests, so they were all unscathed.

The junction of Yuzhang and the Lujiang River is Pengze Lake, which connects to the Yangtze River, which means that Liu Bowen has to cross the Yangtze River if he wants to reach the Lujiang River. Fortunately, Liu Bowen was prepared, and ordered people to prepare boats in one place, and the group crossed the Yangtze River to Lujiang and Anhui County.
