"What? You said that He Chen led the light horse straight to Kyoto, broke into the palace and retreated? Ushisuke eats? How does he do things? And didn't He Chen's guy meet with Yuan Shao and the others? Why did you suddenly run to Kyoto? What's going on? In the Tiger Prison Pass, Dong Zhuo, who was drinking and having fun with Lu Bu, heard the news, and immediately became angry on the spot, kicked the table hard, broke the wine glass hard, his eyes were wide open, and the violent atmosphere intimidated the audience, and everyone was terrified and frightened, and they didn't dare to make a sound. If Niu Fu stood in front now, he would not doubt that he would be directly hacked to death with a knife.

"Liu Xie, that kid, is he still in the palace?" Dong Zhuo was so angry that he grabbed the messenger with one hand, almost with a cannibalistic eye.

"Xiangguo, the saint is still in the palace, and he has not been harmed." The messenger was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

"Xiangguo is a little restless. Where is He Chen now? At this time, a person on the side spoke out to stop Dong Zhuo's anger, and asked without hurry. This person is about thirty years old, with white skin, elegant clothes, a strong smell of books, a pair of eyes that are not brilliant, but always show grandeur in the plain, obviously very scheming. It is Dong Zhuo's first adviser Li Ru is also.

"Mr. Hui's words, He Chen led the cavalry out of the south gate and retreated in the direction of Yuyuan Pass."

"How many men does he have?" Li Ru asked another question that he was extremely concerned about.

"About a thousand cavalry."

Then Li Ru asked some details about the above things, Dong Zhuo, who is known as irritable and murderous, did not lose his temper for a while, but just tilted his head to the side, surprisingly quiet. It can be seen that Li Ru has a lot of weight in Dong Zhuo's heart.

"Get out." Dong Zhuo saw that Li Ru had finally finished asking, so he kicked the soldier hard to eliminate the hatred in his heart.

"Xiangguo, it is imperative that He Chen must not be allowed to escape back to Wancheng, otherwise Xiangguo's prestige will be greatly damaged. Moreover, if He Chen took a big risk, entered the capital with strange troops, and met the emperor in person, it would only take a few hours in the middle, and then he would retreat the same way. It must have an ulterior purpose, and if Confucianism is not mistaken, it should be a holy edict and the like. Therefore, Xiangguo must not be guarded against. ”

"What Wen You said is not bad, how to deal with it now?" Dong Zhuo gave Li Ru such an analysis, and he also had some enlightenment.

"Xiangguo, Luoyang to Yuyuan Pass fast horse is only two days, but at this time Xu Rong's army is deployed to defend Luoshui and Ruyang, with He Chen's troops, it is inevitable that it will be impossible to force the pass, so the only feasible way is to avoid Xu Rong's main force, so that there are two roads to go, one of them is to Rongyang direction, turn to the Songshan Mountains halfway, and return to Yuyuan Pass from Yangzhai. Second, go out of Yongning and go to Sankun, and then change to the Bears Ears Mountains. No matter which road you take, because of the winding mountain roads or the nomura trails, and the fact that there are all cavalry, there is no logistical supply, and the supply of grain and grass is bound to be insufficient. In this case, Xiangguo first sent a letter to Xu Rong in the starry night, asking him to re-employ the defense line, occupy points along the mountain, set up more checkpoint posts, cut off the whole road of the two retreats to Yuanxuan Pass, and then ordered Niu Fu to pour out of the nest and search all the way along the direction of Rongyang, and let Zhang Ji guard the granary of Huiluo, send troops to block the area from Qiushan to Yongning, and transfer the troops of Yang Dingju County to guard Yang Dingju County, compress the activity space of He Chen's department from above, and finally the lord sent strong generals to lead tens of thousands of generals to support back from the tiger prison, so that in all directions, the net came down, Even if He Chen turned into a winged tiger, he would not want to escape back to Wancheng. ”

Dong Zhuo turned his anger into joy, and laughed: "With Wen You to help me, why worry about He Chen's immortality, someone will quickly pass on Wen You's policy." ”

Southwest of Luoyang, at the foot of Pi Mountain.

Zolocang.

Mountains of grain, stones, sacks are neatly stacked, countless sentry posts are erected, and only a few soldiers patrol back and forth in the continuous camps.

Jia Xu was quietly looking at the granary on the mountainside.

The mountain wind blew his black sideburns, a fox fur coat covered his somewhat thin bones, and his slender and spiritual eyes were full of helplessness and anxiety. Just now, Zhang Ji, who had always been angry about the defeat of Changshe's army, after receiving Dong Zhuo's urgent paperwork, Sihao did not listen to persuasion, and hurriedly took away half of the elite of Huiluocang, leaving less than 3,000 government soldiers to guard. This made Jia Xu deeply uneasy. He Chen is also a person who is bold and bold, and he acts unexpectedly, and he feels impossible in the eyes of everyone, he has turned decay into magic. With such a radical and bold surname, it is difficult to ensure that after the southward retreat was sealed, the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and suddenly the front of the army turned around, pointing directly at the granary of Huiluo. If this is the case, with the low morale of the current government soldiers, how can it be an opponent who fights against the water and sinks the Wancheng soldiers? It's a pity that Zhang Ji has been carried away by anger, he can't listen to his own persuasion at all, and insists on leading the troops out of the village. It seems that the current plan can only be strictly defended.

He Chen, are you going to go Yongning or Yangzhai?

Jia Xu, who was half in thought, suddenly laughed, and turned around and went down the mountain without hesitation.

After resting in the mountains for half a day, He Chen ordered the army and horses overnight and began a long and arduous trek.

The cold mountain wind whistled by, bringing a "whoosh" sound, countless branches and leaves swaying, and heavy shadows. The cold moonlight shined through the towering trees and sprinkled on the soldiers' armor and weapons, and the silver-white reflection was extremely dazzling in the darkness of the night. The mountains were endless, and a huge black curtain in the distance obscured the way home.

The soldiers were a little depressed, pulling their horses, supporting their wounded colleagues, and quietly bowing their heads forward.

He Chen pursed his lips tightly, his expression grim, this was the biggest difficulty he had suffered since he started the army to fight in the south and the north. The weather is cold and there is no clothing, there is no food in the stomach, there are snipers in front, and there are chasing soldiers in the back, which can be described as difficult. How to return to the Yuan safely, He Chen can be said to rack his brains and meditate hard.

After a long time, He Chen sighed, it seems that the plan can't change quickly, even if Wen Ping leads his troops to open the gap in Yiyang at this time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to arrive in a short time.

"General, don't worry, we will definitely be able to return to Wancheng safely." At this moment, a crisp and refreshing pleasant sound sounded in my ears.

He Chen looked back at the little female tiger Huang Diewu, her white face shining with charming brilliance in the moonlight, even under such harsh conditions, the special surname of the female surnamed Clean and Beautiful was still undoubtedly revealed. If it weren't for her armor and the ability to see the ruthless knife in the center of the battlefield, He Chen would still think that she was a tall, young and beautiful girl.

"Girl, how's it going? The military career, the battlefield of Rongma, is not as romantic and chic as you imagined, right? Every time you see flesh and blood, countless colleagues in Zepao fall helplessly beside you, do you have a sad and sad feeling in your heart? He Chen's voice was a little low, and he said with some sadness in his words.

"General, a manly man, in the face of a national crisis, when he stands up, even if he dies on the battlefield, he is also a celebrity in history and is admired by the world." Huang Diewu was not as weak as He Chen imagined, and a strong heart was almost not inferior to any man.

"Only solve the battlefield and die for the country, why should the horse leather shroud be returned, the girl said it well." He Chen's spirits perked up a little and he said with a smile.

"Don't call a girl." Huang Wudie does not follow the way.

At this time, there was a panic in front of him, and in the overlapping of dark shadows, a person rushed up, knelt on the ground, and said in a somewhat choked voice: "General, the enemy sentry post was found on the official road ten miles ahead, due to the weakness of the horses, the mountain road was slippery, and it was discovered by the patrolling enemy army, and the two brothers Mu Tou and Gan Qi were unfortunately killed......

"How many enemy troops are there?"

"According to the subordinates, there are at least 500 people, and the flag number is the Niu Auxiliary Army. At the foot of the mountain, there are many huge deer, wooden fences, tripping horse ropes and the like, and dozens of battalions of military villages are seen. ”

He Chen was startled, his face became extremely ugly, why did he move so fast? Before he left Yongning, there were already traces of enemy troops in front of him. Although the number of people is less than five hundred, it is completely possible to rush out, but it is difficult to ensure that there are no other troops around, if they are entangled here, Dong Zhuo's army who heard the news is enough to drown his own people. He Chen immediately decided: "Immediately change the route and move towards the west." ”

The sky was beginning to glow, and the mist of the mountains was shrouded in the soldiers, and they were surrounded by towering trees with thick trunks and branches. In the distance, there are turbulent mountains and rivers going straight down, strange rocks are craggy, and in the green grass on both sides, there are budding stamens from time to time and fighting for spring. Halfway up the mountain, the front suddenly opens up, and in the embrace of the mountains, a village with a mountain appears in front of you, a winding mountain road extends to both ends, and the whole village is surrounded by bamboo fences and wooden fences. There are about twenty or thirty thatched huts. Four or five of them have smoke, intertwined with the thick fog in the air, forming a hazy and ethereal paradise scenery.

He Chen was in good spirits, ran around the mountains for a few days, and finally saw the people. He Chen touched the only few gold leaves in his arms, then looked back at the pale and tired soldiers, and then motioned to Xu Huang to lead the soldiers to find a place to rest, while he led Huang Zhong and other guards to dive down the mountain.

Before the people entered the village, a burst of fierce dog barking sounded from the village, breaking the tranquility of the deep mountain village. First there were two sounds, and then they joined together. Then all kinds of noisy voices arose, and soon, the gatehouses of every village were opened. The next scene could startle He Chen, every family had a few men, women, and a few people, and everyone had simple farm tools in their hands, and they all had a wary expression.

"Villains and robbers, don't want to be presumptuous here." At this time, there was a burly-looking, tall, long-armed, bearded, ugly-looking man holding a pair of heavy halberds, and shouted in a muffled voice.

Bandit? He Chen looked at each other, a little crying and laughing, only then did he notice that everyone was disgraced and sloppy, and they were really similar to Liukou. He Chen couldn't help but explain: "Don't misunderstand, folks, the contemptible people were chased and killed by the enemy all the way, and in desperation, they fled to the mountains and forests. ”
