Yuan Shu, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly woke up in an inexplicable nightmare. The pen and the www.biquge.info sat up in a cold sweat, and his ears could hear the cold wind outside the tent, and his heart seemed to be hanging in the air.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Shu pushed away the pink arms and jade legs hanging on his body, rubbed his temples vigorously, and slowly got out of bed to go outside the tent to inspect it.

But before he could put on his shoes and socks, a deafening sound of fighting suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Not good!"

Yuan Shu was so shocked that he didn't bother to put on his shoes again, and ran out of the tent barefoot.

With just one glance, Yuan Shu's heart became cold like never before.

Once, Le attacked the camp and almost killed Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu never despaired as he did today.

Although Lejin's offensive was fierce at the beginning, it didn't hurt his muscles and bones in the final analysis. But today is different, because with the help of the raging wind, the tongue of fire that soars into the sky has become extremely terrifying. In just a short moment, Yuan's camp has been reduced to a sea of fire.

That time, it was Qiao Rui who saved Yuan Shu's life under Cong Lejin's nirvana.

This time, it was still Qiao Rui who appeared by Yuan Shu's side at the critical moment.

It is precisely because of the original rescue work that Qiao Rui was named the hussar general second only to Zhang Xun in the military generals after Yuan Shu became emperor.

After the battle with Lejin, although Qiao Rui recuperated for a long time, he was helplessly injured and has not fully healed yet. This time to go south to Sun Ce, Yuan Shu originally didn't plan to take Qiao Rui with him, and wanted to keep him in Shouchun to recuperate from his injuries. It's just that Qiao Rui insisted, and he couldn't refuse.

Holding the sick body of Qiao Rui, if he wants to turn the tide in this situation, he is simply powerless. First, his prestige in the army was not high, and second, because he had not recovered from serious injuries, his movements were greatly restricted. Therefore, all he could do was to protect Yuan Shu to break out of the siege and gather the remnants of the army before making plans.

Yuan Shu, whose heart was like ashes, was like an expressionless puppet, supported by two personal soldiers, and escaped from the big tent like a lost dog.

The army of 60,000 was still behind them at this time, but there were only more than 1,000 people.

Qiao Rui personally helped Yuan Shu onto the horse, sighed deeply, and also flew on the horse, rushing in the direction of Shu County in the northeast.

60,000 Yuan troops scattered and fled in the sea of fire, holding their heads and running away.

And after meeting Huang Gai and Han Dang's two reinforcements, the Jiangdong Army, which had a total strength of only 5,000, became more and more brave the more they fought, and they all turned into cold war machines, cruelly harvesting the lives of Yuan Jun one after another.

Shu County is the seat of Lujiang County, the city is high and deep, and the grain and grass are abundant, so Qiao Rui chose to flee there at the first time. In fact, he has no better choice than that.

In this battle, he lost too badly, and almost lost all of Yuan Shu's old capital. Because Qiao Rui can clearly see that at the same time as they escaped from the camp, the direction of the grain and grass camp they set up in Tongxiang also burst into flames.

There, there is a hoarding of grain and grass that has been accumulated for many years in the two counties of Huainan!

Now, it's all gone.

Like Liang Gang, although Qiao Rui was extremely disappointed, he couldn't change his mind and vote for others. He was a hussar general of the Zhong Dynasty and one of the unforgivable thief chieftains in the edict of the Son of Heaven.

He knew very well in his heart that once he fell into the hands of Sun Ce or the imperial court, he would definitely be a capital crime that could not be pardoned. Therefore, knowing that he was afraid that Yuan Shu would be finished, he could only go all the way to the dark.

Shu County, in the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a country named Shu, and it was later destroyed by the Chu State. In the Han Dynasty, Shu County was set as the seat of Lujiang County.

The previous Lujiang guarded Liu Xun, who was defeated by Yuan Shu and surrendered, and now he was rewarded by Yuan Shu for a false position and was trapped in Shouchun City. Today's Lujiang Taishou is Yuan Shu's most trusted brother Yuan Yin.

Standing under the city of Shuxian, Qiao Rui raised his gun and shouted: "I am the hussar general Qiao Rui, I am here on business at the behest of His Majesty, the defenders of the city, hurry up and let Yuan Yin come to see me." ”

Yuan Shu's identity was too sensitive, and the defeat was too miserable, so Qiao Rui didn't dare to make too much noise, just thinking about entering the city and then making plans.

Yuan Yin's identity is destined to never betray Yuan Shu. Therefore, this is also a very important reason why Qiao Rui chose to come here.

"Is it General Hashirui? Yuan Yin is here! ”

Not long after Qiao Rui's words fell, he heard Yuan Yin's voice coming from the city, but it sounded like there was a slight gap with Yuan Yin's voice.

It's just that the situation is urgent, and Qiao Rui didn't think much about it, and said in a loud voice: "Time is pressing, open the city gate quickly and let me enter the city!" ”

Yuan Yin did not rush to order someone to open the city gate, but asked again: "General Qiao Rui, did you really come here by His Majesty's order?" Then why haven't I received any will? ”

The pursuers of the Jiangdong Army may be killed at any time, Qiao Rui stomped his feet anxiously, and said impatiently: "Secret mission, Your Majesty has specially instructed not to alarm anyone." Can't you still trust me? ”

"Open, open the gates!"

Yuan Yin's voice came again, but this time, his voice was not only shaking violently, but also obviously mixed with deep fear.

Qiao Rui snorted coldly, and heard the sound of "squeak" opening the door, and her face looked better. Although Yuan Yin is Yuan Shu's brother and has won Yuan Shu's trust, Qiao Rui has never liked him very much. If he hadn't been cornered this time, he wouldn't have come here to be bored.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

Along the way, it was as if Yuan Shu, who was wandering outside the world and didn't say a word, suddenly screamed, and ran backwards in horror and inexplicably.

Qiao Rui was stunned for a moment, although she was confused, she could only catch up and ask, "Your Majesty, why is this?" ”

Yuan Shu said in a panic: "Yuan Yin is wrong, I'm afraid he has been controlled by someone!" ”

Qiao Rui was taken aback, turned his head and glanced at it from a distance, but saw that the city was dark, and he sighed in his heart, and understood.

He had felt that something was wrong before, but now he finally figured out that there were no torches in the city.

Although it was already dark at this time, it would not be possible to extinguish the torch at this time under normal circumstances. Therefore, Shu County may have changed.

Thinking of Yuan Yin's abnormality again, Qiao Rui couldn't help but gasp, and without saying a word, he led the remnants of Yuan Jun to protect Yuan Shu and fled.

Yuan Yin's life and death are insignificant compared to Yuan Shu.

"Damn!"

On the head of Shu County, Lu Meng stomped his feet with regret on his face, seeing that Yuan Shu was about to be caught, but he fell short at the last moment, how could he not be annoyed? Capturing Yuan Shu alive, this is a great merit than the sky, and he just slipped away from under his nose. Although the young Lü Meng successfully deceived the city gate and controlled the city defense of Shuxian County, at the most critical time, he still exposed his inexperienced weakness.

Although Yuan Shu is not good at commanding battles, he is an old fox who is good at speculating on people's hearts, and he knows Yuan Yin very well, so he still saw a flaw at a critical moment.

Since his plan to invite the gentleman into the urn has been seen through by Yuan Shu, it is useless for Yuan Yin to keep it, and he killed him with a knife, and Lu Meng kicked his soft corpse aside with another kick of hatred. With his hand on the city wall, he looked at the fish belly floating in the sky and muttered: "Yuan Shu, I want to see how big your life is!" ”

Lu Meng only has a thousand soldiers and horses in his hands, and he can control the form of Shu County. Divided troops to pursue Yuan Shu, but he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

I don't know how far I ran out in one breath, Qiao Rui reined in the horse, looked back with palpitations, and asked listlessly: "Your Majesty, where should we go next?" ”

After being bumped on horseback for so long, this was an unprecedented ordeal for the pampered Yuan Shu, even if he was defeated by Cao Cao several times before, he had never been so embarrassed.

In the spring of Meng, the weather was warm and cold, Yuan Shu, who was only wearing a single clothes, was cold, hungry, tired and nauseous, lying on the back of the horse and vomiting non-stop, where could he care about answering Qiao Rui's questions.

Qiao Rui frowned, took off his big hat and draped it on Yuan Shu's body, sighed lightly and said, "If there is no accident, the Tongxiang camp has also been lost." Your Majesty, the last general suggested that Shouchun be withdrawn first, and then make plans. ”

After Yuan Shu coughed violently, he shook his head like a gossamer, "Lonely and unwilling, unwilling!" ”

Qiao Rui bit her lip and said nothing. Defeated by two yellow-mouthed children, how could he be willing? But the defeat is decided, and no matter how unwilling he is, he must face the reality.

And Yuan Shu is not a person who dares to face reality.

"Lord, the soldiers have been running around for most of the night, and they are already sleepy and tired, if they continue to delay, they are afraid of changes!"

Qiao Rui lowered her voice and whispered in Yuan Shu's ear to remind.

At this time, the Yuan army that followed them was about 2,000 people. Except for a small number of Qiaorui's pro-soldiers who are trustworthy, most of the rest are forcibly recruited in Huainan, and their minds are unpredictable.

Yuan Shu slammed a spirit, nodded vigorously, it was related to his own life and safety, he immediately recovered some strength, and said forcefully: "All the soldiers have worked hard, you can rest assured, as long as you live up to the loneliness, the loneliness will never fail you!" I believe that Lonely, when you return to Shouchun, you will definitely be crowned with an official and a heavy reward! ”

Although it was only a blank check, the morale of the army was still clearly boosted. For most of the soldiers who are from a bitter background, the long-formed view of respect and inferiority is still deeply ingrained in their hearts, but as long as they can see a glimmer of hope, they will not stand up and resist.

Maybe in their hearts, they can't wait for Yuan Shu to die immediately. However, they didn't want Yuan Shu to die at their hands.
