When Lu Shaoyang heard this, he immediately felt as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and he leaned in front of Xue Yi and asked, "Could it be that you have a way to help me escape?" ”

Xue Yi said: "The Chu army has a total of 100,000 people, divided into five armies: left, right, front, rear, and center, with 20,000 people each. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The Fourth Army was now stationed outside the city, and only the Chinese army under the direct command of Fan Zhong was in the city. And the army of the city set aside 5,000 men to keep the law, and the remaining 10,000 men were stationed around the palace, and the remaining 5,000 were in the palace to be dispatched. If you want to get out of the city, you must first pass the inspection of the soldiers in the palace, and then you have to be interrogated by the soldiers in the city, even if you leave the city, there are still 80,000 Chu troops waiting for you, so unless you can avoid these 100,000 horses, you can't escape from the city. ”

Lu Shaoyang shook his head and said, "It's not in vain that you've been talking for a long time, how can I hide from 100,000 people alone?" ”

Xue Yi said: "I said that you can't escape from this city, but I didn't say that you can't leave the Chu camp." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lu Shaoyang asked.

Xue Yi said: "Although I am only a partial general, I also have some authority. The deployment of the right army can be arranged, and tomorrow the whole army will leave Chengdu and go to Nanzheng to have a final decisive battle with the king of Shu. There are many people running along the way, but it is much easier to escape a few people than in this city. ”

"I see." Lu Shaoyang nodded and said, "Then what should be done?" ”

Xue Yi said: "This is not the place to say this, you still have two tails behind you!" But don't worry, I'm pretty much ready, and I'll get back to you when the time comes. ”

Lu Shaoyang also understood the truth of being careful, so he simply stopped asking. Xue Yi looked out of the garden, and when he saw that the two guards were still lingering there, he could only lower his voice and say, "Since you want to escape, then trust me." Telling me who you really are is also a sign of trust. ”

"My name is Lu Shaoyang," Lu Shaoyang said.

"Lu Shaoyang? Are you the son of Lu Wufeng, the deacon of the Xia Guosi? ”

"How do you know?" Lu Shaoyang asked.

Xue Yi made a boo gesture and whispered, "Don't ask yet, I'll tell you if I have a chance." ”

He raised his head and deliberately said a few words loudly to Lu Shaoyang and left the imperial garden by himself, Lu Shaoyang knew that Xue Yi was afraid of exposing himself, so he didn't ask any more, he watched Xue Yi leave, and walked alone for a while before going back to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, the five armies swore in the royal court. Fan Zhong wore battle armor to hang a sword, majestic as if victory was just around the corner, he spoke a loyal and patriotic oath in front of everyone, and the soldiers were also excited by this infection.

After the oath, the army pulled out the camp, and the 100,000 horses withdrew from Chengdu in batches. Lu Shaoyang followed Fan Zhong's Chinese army in front, and Xue Yi's right army escorted the Chinese army on the flank.

After about three or four hours of walking, the army crossed a large river and prepared for repairs. Fan Zhong ordered someone to take a map to check, and there were two roads in front of the Chu army. These two roads all lead to Nanzheng, one is the official road built by the king of Shu, extending in all directions, running through the whole Shuzhong, it is an insurance road, the other is a mountain road, the terrain is mostly a deep ditch canyon and there are often tigers and leopards infested, it is a difficult road to walk.

Fan Zhong pointed his finger at the official road and asked, "If you go here, how long will it take to get to Nanzheng?" ”

One of the generals next to him replied, "If it's fast, it will take a month." ”

"A month? It's been too long. Fan Zhong said: "The military rations we brought are only enough for half a month, and if we take the official road, I am afraid that most of the whole army will starve to death before we reach Nanzheng, so I think we should take the mountain road." ”

When the general heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "General, this mountain road will indeed be faster, but since ancient times, soldiers have not taken dangerous roads, thinking that the mountain road is full of ravines and canyons, if the Shu army sets up an ambush there......"

Fan Zhongyi waved his hand to stop the general's words, and said: "Most of the Shu army has been wiped out by us in Chengdu, and the rest are just some defeated generals who should not be feared. Besides, there are many mountain roads in Shu, but there is only one official road, if you are careful everywhere, then we are not difficult to move an inch? Although this dangerous move is contrary to common sense, sometimes it can achieve unexpected results, and I don't think the king of Shu would have thought that we would take the mountain road instead of taking the official road. ”

Fan Zhong was full of confidence, and the generals couldn't say anything, so he was about to walk away stupidly, but Fan Zhong stopped him and said, "You call Xue Yi, the general of the right army, I have something to ask him." ”

The general received the order, and it didn't take long to call Xue Yi.

Fan Zhong asked straight to the point: "You were with that Sima Gongzi last night?" ”

Xue Yi had long known that the two guards would report to Fan Zhong last night, which was exactly what he wanted, so he replied unabashedly: "Sima Gongzi and his subordinates met by chance in the Imperial Garden and chatted about some family things. ”

"Huh? Homely? Did you know him? Fan Zhong asked.

Xue Yi said: "Wu Anjun worked as a proton in Xia Country when he was a child, and his subordinate father also lived there for a period of time as a horse washer. At that time, my father befriended Sima Lao Sikou, so I went to Sikou's mansion to see Sima Gongzi, so I can be regarded as acquaintances. ”

"Since they are acquaintances, then why didn't you recognize Sima Gongzi when he was arrested?" Fan Zhong asked.

Xue Yi replied calmly: "When Sima Gongzi was still a toddler in the Xia Kingdom, his subordinates were just a general boy at that time, so many years have passed, so naturally he doesn't remember his appearance very much. That day, he was arrested because of a misunderstanding, and his subordinates felt that he was familiar, but he didn't dare to recognize him because it was too long, and it wasn't until he heard that the general had a banquet to entertain him, and his subordinates dared to confirm that he was Sima Gongzi. ”

"It seems that the boy is telling the truth." Fan Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "As the command post of the Chinese army, it is not convenient for me to entertain this guest here, since you are familiar with him, I will bother you to take care of him all the way." ”

This is exactly what Xue Yi wanted to hear, so he replied: "General, please rest assured, I will take care of Gongzi thoroughly." ”

"That's good, remember to watch him, and I'll give you a credit when I return to Chu."

Xue Yi took the order and went down. After a while, Lu Shaoyang was picked up by Xue Yi's own soldiers to the right army. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xue Yi whispered to Lu Shaoyang: "Your opportunity has come, the general's Chinese army will not care about the rear if it is fast, and when it gets dark, I will send someone to send you out, you will have no problem as long as you follow the large army now." ”

At this moment, the sky suddenly began to drizzle, and Fan Zhong, who was sitting in the Chinese army, looked at the sky and said: "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, pass on my order, and the five armies will set off immediately!" ”

In this way, 100,000 horses hit the road again, and Lu Shaoyang's heart also became apprehensive.
