Chapter 297: Lobbyist
Yang Feng was furious, and saw that Xu Huang's men were only fifteen or six thousand, and his subordinates were twice as large as his, so his courage suddenly rose, and he said loudly: "Xu Huang, don't deceive people too much, it's better to hand over my family as soon as possible, so as not to hurt everyone's harmony." ”
Xu Huang ignored him anymore, turned his head and shouted: "If you capture Yang Feng alive, you will be credited with a great merit." ”
In Liu Xin's regular legion, being able to get a reward for a great merit is much more attractive than rewarding a hundred taels of gold, and a great merit not only means that the chances of promotion are greatly increased, but also the family members will also get corresponding preferential treatment, the soldiers heard this order, everyone fought bravely, and they all rushed to be the first in a blink of an eye.
Xu Huang waved the big axe, straight to Yang Feng, Yang Feng raised his gun to greet him, "dang" a loud sound, shocked his arms numb, knowing that he was not Xu Huang's opponent, he didn't dare to fight again, turned the horse and left, Zhang Ning saw it behind, Zhang Gong shot an arrow, right in Yang Feng's shoulder, Yang Feng shook on the horse, and did not fall, and walked around the formation, the combat effectiveness of those Luoyang old army was already limited, and now seeing the main general fleeing, who is still willing to fight, they have thrown away their armor and fled, Xu Huang does not care about those who fled to the rout army in the mountains and forests on both sides, Just chase all the way east,
After chasing about three miles, I saw a black crowd in front of me, it was Wang Yun, Dong Cheng and others who escorted Liu Xie slowly, Song Guo led an army to break off, but was unable to stop it, but was dispersed by Yang Feng's rout, Song Guo was shouting loudly, not beware of Xu Huang patting the horse to kill, his hand rose and fell, and a head rose to the sky,
Seeing that Song Guo had lost his surname, the Luoyang army was even more chaotic, Zhang Ning and Shi Jian led their soldiers to rush into the enemy formation, like a tiger pounced into the flock, and killed the soldiers under Yang Feng and Song Guo in an instant.
When Yang Feng wanted to go back to rescue his family just now, Wang Yun and Dong Cheng did not dissuade them, because their family members were also left behind, and they would inevitably be harmed by Shi Gao's gang of rebels, but those courtiers who did not flee with their families still had some opinions in their hearts, but they couldn't speak now, and now they heard the shouting and killing sound behind them, everyone knew that Yang Feng not only failed to save those family members, but ran into a hard opponent, although these people were also nervous, But there was a bit of schadenfreude, and he couldn't help but slow down, as if trying to figure out what was going on behind him.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yun couldn't help but say anxiously: "Your Majesty, the matter is urgent, please ask the emperor to abandon the car and change horses, and it is important to flee for your life." ”
Until this time, they thought that it was Dong Zhuo's men and horses who chased and killed, Liu Xie was just an eleven-year-old boy, and his riding skills were not good, Dong Cheng had to share a horse with him, and although Fu Shou was only one year older than Liu Xie, she was still a little girl who had not begun to develop, but she was the queen, no one dared to share a horse with her, Suo surname threw her on the chariot, Fu Shou saw the chaos around him, and he didn't dare to get out of the car, so he had to shout for help, but everyone was still too busy to take care of themselves, how could anyone pay attention to her,
Most of the courtiers who accompanied him were civil officials, although they could ride horses, but their riding skills were limited, and they were able to resist the five thousand royal forest soldiers to the death, so they bought some time for them, and gradually moved away from the battlefield of fighting, and saw that they were about to come to the Luoyang territory.
Wang Yun was still stubbornly abiding by the hierarchical etiquette at this time, and refused to let everyone's horse head cross the horse that Liu Xie and Dong Cheng were riding on, although Liu Xie was just a child, but the crown and royal robe were quite weighty, and the horse was burdened with a lot, so naturally it couldn't come up quickly.
Although Xu Huang's subordinates are all infantry, but long-term training, so that their physical strength and endurance have been greatly improved, knowing that Liu Xie is in front of him, if he can catch him, the credit is obviously far greater than the capture of Yang Feng, these soldiers burst out of great potential, in the blink of an eye, they caught up again,
Wang Yun saw that there was no way out, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "Heaven will not let me." ”
Suddenly, seeing the smoke and dust in front of him, countless people and horses swept in, and a bright red flag in the middle, on which a big "Cao" word was faintly visible, Wang Yun couldn't help but turn his worries into joy, and said to Liu Xie: "Congratulations to the emperor, the one who comes must be Cao Ying's men and horses, and Cao Ying's command has many elite and capable fighters, and his heart can repel Dong thieves." ”
Because they were busy running for their lives along the way, they hadn't been able to meet Yang Feng, so until this time, they thought that it was Dong Zhuo's men who were chasing and killing, and when they heard that reinforcements were coming, even the war horse under Dong Cheng's crotch seemed to have momentum, and the speed suddenly increased.
The group ran out of more than half a mile in despair, and finally ran into the team in front, and it was already clear that the middle of the team was the one who went to ask for help, Liu Xie, Dong Cheng, and Wang Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to hear the Fu Wan say loudly to the generals next to him: "General Cao, General Li, the matter is urgent, please go to the enemy to rescue the two generals quickly." ”
The two generals were dancing with a big knife in one hand and a spear in the other, and they separated the two sides with a promise, let Liu Xie, Wang Yun and others meet them, and they collided with Xu Huang and rushed over with a big axe, and the three horses fought in one place.
These two generals are Cao Hong and Li Dian, when Cao Ying went to Xiangyang, let Cao Ren feint to attack Yique Pass, and made the two of them prepare to meet Wang Yun and others in Luoyang, now it is just in handy, in the face of these two fierce generals under Cao Ying, Xu Huang is not afraid at all, the big axe is cut left and right, out of the ghost, Cao Hong and Li Dian are full of spirits, and they can't fight him.
But they were blocked, Liu Xie, Wang Yun and they slowly went far, and Zhang Ning and Shi Jian had also defeated Yang Feng's troops, rushed up and fought with the Cao army, the combat effectiveness of this Cao army was far above the old army of Luoyang, and it was also fearless of death, and the number reached as many as 30,000, and the melee of the first army gradually became a stalemate, and the two sides fought until dusk, they were all casualties, but they could not distinguish the winner from the loser,
And Xu Huang faced Cao Hong and Li Dian, the two generals, and fought for more than 30 rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish between them, Zhang Ning saw Cao Hong and Li Dian in the distance that they were both skilled in martial arts, so he was afraid that Xu Huang would lose, so he killed him with a shout and joined the battle group.
Cao Hong and Li Dian saw that Xu Huang's martial arts were strong, and it was difficult to win in eagerness, so they wanted to rely on the two of them to join forces, first consume his physical strength, and then find his flaws, but they didn't expect Zhang Ning to suddenly kill him, although Zhang Ning's martial arts are not as good as Cao Hong and Li Dian, but they live and practice martial arts with Xu Huang, the two sides have already had a tacit understanding, and they cooperate seamlessly, and they have the upper hand in a blink of an eye. Today, it is getting late, let's collect our troops, and how about fighting again. ”
Although Cao Ying occupied some counties in Qing, Yan'er Prefecture and Yuzhou, his official position was not promoted, and he still held the position of Taishou in Dong County.
Xu Huang only then knew that they were Cao Ying's subordinates, no wonder the combat effectiveness was so strong, Xu Huang turned his head to look, his subordinate soldiers were in long-distance pursuit, extremely tired, in this case it was really unwise to fight with the opposite new force, not to mention that it was not far from Luoyang, Liu Xie had disappeared, and if he continued to fight, he would only increase casualties, so Xu Huang also restrained his horse and shouted: "I am Xu Huang, a subordinate of Jingzhou Mu, you go back and tell Cao Ying, and tell him to hand over Liu Xie as soon as possible, so as not to cause the disaster of swords." ”
Cao Ying went to attack Xiangyang, Cao Hong and Li Dian all knew, but they didn't know that Cao Ying had been defeated and returned, and when Cao Ying had already succeeded, Cao Hong originally thought that the opponent was Dong Zhuo's pursuer, but now he knew that it was Liu Xin's subordinates, and couldn't help but sneer secretly, and wanted me to hand over Liu Xie, but I was afraid that you wouldn't even be able to go back to Xiangyang, but he said: "Okay, you and I will each collect our troops and fight again." ”
Both sides are battle-hardened, well-trained elites, and they marched when they heard the drums, and Mingjin retreated, both in an orderly manner, and soon disengaged from contact, but Xu Huang's soldiers did not retreat much, they waited for Cao Jun to go a little farther, and then returned to the battlefield, collected the bodies of their fallen comrades, or carried them on their backs, and returned to Hongnong together,
Xu Huang led the army to the halfway point, and suddenly heard footsteps, and a group of men and horses in front of him galloped forward, and the first general, holding a spear, was Gao Shun,
It turned out that Gao Shun received Liu Xin's order to reinforce Xu Huang, rushed to Hangu Pass at noon, and marched to Hongnong without making any stops, and when he arrived at Hongnong, he heard that Xu Huang had set off to the direction of Luoyang, so he chased all the way, and met Lu Chang on the way escorting the families of Wang Yun and others, because the families of these courtiers were too slow, Gao Shun did not dare to have the slightest delay, continued to hurry, and successively killed and repelled several routed troops, it was dusk when he came here, and Xu Huang's battle had just ended, although he was not able to catch Liu Xie, but robbed his chariot and captured his queen Fushou,
Cao Hong and Li Dian saw that Xu Huang had retreated, and also collected their troops and turned back to Luoyang, and also encountered a group of men and horses on the way, under the banner of Cao Ying, Cao Hong and Li Dian were shocked, and hurriedly dismounted, and sure enough, they saw a person who was described as haggard riding on a horse, it was Cao Ying, and hurriedly asked: "Lord, didn't you go to Xiangyang, how could you be here." ”
Cao Ying was defeated from Xiangyang, fortunately a heavy rain helped to escape, and came to Luoyang, he met Wang Yun, Liu Xie and others escaped, Cao Ying has now seen the true strength of Liu Xin's army, worried that Cao Hong and Li Dian will lose, hurriedly explained a few words, sent people to place Liu Xie, Wang Yun and others, and brought Xiahou Tang and Xiahou Yuan to meet Cao Hong and Li Dian,
Knowing that they were safe and sound, Cao Ying said with relief: "Zilian, Man Cheng, you two can rescue the emperor this time, it can be regarded as a great achievement, Liu Xin's subordinates have a lot of fierce generals, Luoyang is a place of four battles, it is not suitable to hold on, for today's plan, as long as you take the emperor to Puyang as the top." ”
Cao Hong thought of the battle just now, and still had palpitations, and said: "What the lord said is very true, Liu Xin doesn't know where to recruit so many masters, the Xu Huang who fought with the last general today, a big axe is superb, and the last general and General Li have a draw with him." ”
A person suddenly turned out behind Cao Ying, and asked Cao Hong, "General Cao, is that Xu Huang you talking about about about thirty years old, with a Luoyang accent." ”
When Cao Hong looked at it, it was Cao Ying's adviser who was full of favor, thought about it, and said politely: "Listening to his voice, it seems to have a Luoyang accent, could it be that Mr. Boning knows this person." ”
Man Chong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Man Mou did have a relationship with this person, if the lord can be trusted, his subordinates are willing to steal into Hongnong, be a lobbyist, and persuade him to come down." ”
