Chapter 463: Love and Hatred

The cavalry of the Jiannan Army launched a second charge, although there were only more than 3,000 cavalry left, but under the current situation, let alone more than 3,000 cavalry, even the charge of 1,000 cavalry, the Nanzhao soldiers and horses would absolutely not be able to resist.

Ge Luofeng gave the order to retreat, and the hapless General Ah Jin had to lead 3,000 death squads to cut it off. The sparse bow and arrow only brought more than 200 kills to the Jiannan cavalry, and the next moment, Liu Jun's cavalry rushed into the 3,000 barbarian soldiers like a wolf into a flock. A one-sided slaughter followed. The 3,000 barbarians did not even survive the tea time, and began to scatter and flee. Ah Jin was also shrewd, and fled back to the city with three or four hundred people, and quickly pulled up the drawbridge and closed the city gate.

The Jiannan army actually didn't think about taking the sheep and Baa City, and after the broken barbarians broke up, they were busy chasing and killing the barbarian brigade in front of them who were running to the hillside for their lives. The speed of the cavalry was amazing, and they caught up with the barbarian brigade like a whirlwind, and harvested the lives of the barbarians with the light bows and arrows of their equipment. The barbarians only hated their parents for giving birth to two legs, and ran to the mountains and forests with their lives, the number of people was several times more than that of the Jiannan cavalry, and no one dared to turn back and fight hard, which perfectly interpreted what it means to be defeated.

Ge Luofeng was riding a horse, running away with more than a dozen barbarian guards, looking back in his busy schedule, what he saw was the Jiannan cavalry frantically chasing and killing his own soldiers and horses, and what he saw was the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army Brigade who were overwhelmingly covering up. Although the pain in his heart was unbearable, after only taking this one look, Ge Luofeng no longer had the courage to look back at it a second time.

Finally, Ge Luofeng rushed up the hillside with more than a dozen personal guards, and after throwing the stirrups and dismounting, he burrowed into the mountain forest in embarrassment surrounded by brute guards. After entering the woods, Ge Luofeng was able to breathe a sigh of relief. He had no time to pay attention to the soldiers behind him who were being slaughtered by the Tang army, and what he had to do now was to quickly flee for his life, quickly escape from the mountains and forests to Taihe City, and only after entering the Longshou Pass could he be regarded as saving his life.

After entering the mountain forest, Ge Luofeng and more than a dozen guards immediately rushed to the mountainside. When he arrived at the mountainside, the sound of fighting under the mountain was almost inaudible, and Ge Luofeng took a long breath of relief, and finally felt his body was sore, and his legs and feet were weak, and even he, the lord of Nanzhao, could not bear this shock.

"Lord, take a sip of water. After a short break, it is impossible for the Tang Army to catch up. The guard beside him cautiously reminded.

Ge Luofeng nodded, took a few sips of the water bladder handed by the guard, and his godless eyes passed through the gap in the forest, and saw a place shining with bright sunshine not far ahead.

"It's a mountain glade, I'm going to see what happens down there." Ge Luofeng handed back the water bladder and walked forward, and after a moment, they were in the sunlight.

There are many such places on the mountainside, where no trees can grow on the rocky ground, and this is also a place where the barbarians who live in the dense forest like to rest. You can bask in the sun, you can stand on the rocks and look at the vast forest, you can live on the rocks, cook, and slaughter prey. These rocky lands in the forest were originally the favorite places of the Nanzhao barbarians, but at this moment, although Ge Luofeng was bathed in the breeze and the blue sky and white clouds, his mood was darker and colder than falling into an ice cellar.

In the valley below, the hunt seemed to be over, and the whole valley was in shambles, full of corpses and wounded, smoke and dust piled up over the valley for a long time, and the wind blew the smell of blood and stench into the nostrils. There were still sporadic screams in the distance, and it was the cavalry of the Tang Army chasing and killing the barbarians who were sporadically resisting. Moving his gaze to the left, he saw the smoke billowing and the sheep and the city that had burned into a white ground.

"It's all my fault, I'm so stupid, I shouldn't have fought the Tang Army head-on. No...... No...... I was wrong from the beginning, I shouldn't have captured Yaozhou City for the sake of a momentary anger, and I shouldn't have killed Zhang Qiantuo. Although Zhang Qiantuo teased Ah Guan a few words, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and I should not be an enemy of the Tang people impulsively. I regret it so much, I buried the good situation of Nanzhao Kingdom. Ge Luofeng muttered to himself, the expression on his face distorted with pain and regret.

"Lord, don't blame yourself, as long as the lord returns to Taihe City safely, the remnants of the army will return to Taihe City, and then the lord will reorganize his troops and horses to regain confidence. There is Cangshan Mountain in the east of Taihe City, Erhai Lake in the west, and the north and south are the Longshou Pass and the Longwei Pass that are as strong as iron, and the lord of the country still has a lot to do. The guards persuaded.

"Is there a lot to be done?" Ge Luofeng stared blankly at the valley below the mountain and the ruins of the sheep and baa city, and muttered.

"There is something to be done, why not. Back then, the first lord of the country was just a small lord of Nanzhao, and didn't he defeat the other five edicts? There is nothing that cannot be done in this world. "The older guards are very persuasive and methodical.

"Yes, you're right, there's still something to do, there is something to do if Taihe City is not lost, and there is something to do if I don't die. What's your name, you're very good, after returning to Taihe City, I'm going to promote you, and your words woke me up. ”

"The villain is Ah Shu." The old guard was busy.

"Very good, Ah Shu, I want to promote you." Ge Luofeng nodded.

"Thank you, Lord ......," the guard named Ah Shu knelt down and thanked him. Suddenly, as he spoke, he fell silent, his body stiffened in place, and blood flowed from his nostrils and lips. Then he fell to the rocks with a 'poof' and rolled down like a piece of wood into the woods below.

Before Ge Luofeng could even react, more than a dozen guards standing on the side fell to the ground like Ah Shu, and Ge Luofeng finally heard the 'sudden' sound of blowing arrows and blowing out poisonous arrows, which is the most familiar on weekdays. Almost simultaneously, the guards were killed by poisoned arrows.

Ge Luofeng screamed in horror, shrunk behind a rock and looked into the forest, and then he was surprised to see the most familiar figure on weekdays. The great general, Ah Hu, slowly walked from the forest to the sun, followed by dozens of barbarian soldiers with blowpipes in their hands.

"Ah Hu...... General? Ge Luofeng exclaimed in surprise.

"Lord, be polite." Ah Hu smiled, said politely, but his body did not make the slightest gesture of salutation.

"You...... You, where did you go when the army was fighting? How dare you run away? Your people did all the deaths of these guards just now? Ge Luofeng stood up and scolded sharply.

Ah Hu smiled and waved his hand: "The lord of the country doesn't need to be angry, I admit that I slipped away when the army was fighting." The guards around you just now were also killed by my subordinate guards at my behest order. You've seen it all, I'm honest and don't hide it. ”

Ge Luofeng's face turned pale, and he shouted: "Why did you do this, I regard you as a brother, and you actually betrayed me." ”

Ah Hu's smile slowly turned cold, and he said lightly: "Do you regard me as a brother?" If the old lord said so, I, Ah Hu, must believe it. But when it comes out of your mouth, I believe not at all. ”

Ge Luofeng roared angrily: "Am I not good to you? You are the general of my Nanzhao, and I will hand over the command of the Nanzhao army to you, give you many privileges, and let you enjoy honor, isn't that enough? ”

Ah Hu sneered: "Lord, don't you say this? Don't you remember anything you've done yourself? What do you do to me Ah Hu, whether you really treat me as a brother, whether you really trust me, you know better than me. Yes, I am the general of Nanzhao, but can you deny that your subordinates have been planted by you with a lot of eyeliner and monitor my behavior anytime and anywhere, is this what you call trust? ”

Ge Luofeng said angrily: "Don't I have the right to appoint generals in the army? ”

Ah Hu laughed and said: "That's it, you are the lord of the country, of course you have this right, if you don't recognize it, I can't do anything about you." But my heart is like a mirror. Ah Bao and I followed the old lord from birth to death, laying the foundation of Nanzhao, and after you ascended the throne, you have been thinking about depriving me and Ah Bao of military power. It's just a matter of putting eyeliner in the wrong place for us. In order to get rid of Ah Leopard, you even didn't care about his life or death, and only gave him 6,000 soldiers and horses to let him guard the city. You knew it was going to die, but you did it anyway. ”

Ge Luofeng swallowed and exclaimed: "Ah Bao gladly obeyed, he didn't have any objections himself, but you came to accuse me." ”

Ah Hu sneered: "Yes, Ah Leopard didn't say anything, but Ah Leopard is my good brother, and I know him." He is a pedantic man, the first lord entrusted you to me and Ah Bao before his death, let us support you well, he is not willing to bear the trust of the first lord. So he went to guard the city. But I'm not that stupid, I'm not going to let you slaughter me. That's why I've shown my loyalty to you everywhere, otherwise I'm afraid I'll be the one who guards the city. ”

Ge Luofeng scolded angrily: "You are a traitor, you betrayed my Nanzhao and still have a good word." ”

Ah Hu shook his head and said, "Ge Luofeng, do you know why I treat you like this? It's just that you doubt me, hoping to seize me and take away my Hu's military power. The one thing that really hurt me the most is not because of that. Originally, I still cared about the trust of the old lord, hoping to work with you to govern the Nanzhao Kingdom, but after that incident, I was completely chilled by you. ”

Ge Luofeng shouted, "That thing? What did I do? ”

Ah Hu gritted his teeth and said with a hideous face: "You are pretending to be confused, you snatch love with a knife, and rob me of Aguan's thing, but pretend to be nothing." Do you know how much humiliation and hurt you have brought me? After that, I was determined to find an opportunity to get revenge on you, and to this day, I finally did. Hahaha. ”

Ge Luofeng said in a deep voice: "Are you for Aguan?" Didn't you tell me you didn't mind it at all? Besides, Ah Wan took the initiative to choose me, and you were not not there. At that time, you also said that you respected Aguan's choice. Now it's to blame me. ”

Ah Hu smiled bitterly, and pulled out the long knife on his waist with a 'Canglang' sound, approached Ge Luofeng step by step, gritted his teeth and said, "You still have the face to say these words." You know that Ah Wan and I have always been in love, so you insist on teasing Ah Wan. You are the lord of the country, does Aguan have any other choice? Besides, Ah Wan knows that I am suspicious of you, and he chose you to protect me. You shameless villain, do you know that the night before you got married, Ah Wan and I hugged and cried all night? How much respect the old lord has for me, and how much harm you have caused to me, you still expect me to help you and dream of your Spring and Autumn Festival. ”
