Chapter 163: Attack (2)
Could it be that he knows these Liao soldiers?
Or is it that he deliberately ushered in these Liao soldiers?
If that's the case, then what exactly is he trying to do?
Treason with the enemy?
Suddenly, Zhao Gu thought of another possibility, would Wang Jien have a grudge because he didn't say a few words to him in that banquet last time, and wanted to kill himself by the hands of the Liao soldiers?
The more Zhao Gu thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, because if the Liao soldiers were really attracted by Wang Jien, he would definitely not want Cao Bin and the others to be killed, in that case, the significance of this Northern Expedition would definitely be greatly reduced, and his merits would be weakened, and even he himself seemed to be unable to protect himself now, and he would not do such a stupid thing with his cunning.

Unless he really wants to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!
But he is a eunuch, has no children and no daughters, and has won the trust of Zhao Guangyi in the Great Song Dynasty, what is his purpose of collaborating with the enemy and treason? There's no reason at all!
Then there is only one possibility, Wang Jien just wants to kill Zhao Gu!
It's a pity that his IQ is a little flawed, Cao Bin and Wang Jien and others can travel with Zhao Gu, and their identities are naturally not low, this is something that a fool can think of, Wang Jien, how can he be sure that after Liao Bing learns Zhao Gu's whereabouts, he will not solve them together?
And the facts have also proved that the wolf ambition of the Liao people cannot be changed, and Wang Jien's IQ is really problematic, otherwise he would not be chased and killed now.
Secretly scolding in his heart that he deserved it, Zhao Gu rode his horse to the middle of Cao Bin and Pan Mei's horses, and whispered his guess.
Both of them were taken aback when they heard this, and Cao Bin said in a low voice: "This kind of thing is not good nonsense. ”
Zhao Gu smiled: "Is it nonsense, I'll know later, the two old generals have to hurry to Shuozhou City, otherwise the lives of the juniors will not be saved." ”
After saying this, Zhao Gu didn't wait for the two of them to figure it out, turned the horse's head and ran in the other direction, and Ergouzi and Li Danran naturally followed closely behind him.
In the rear, the Liao soldiers saw that Zhao Gu and the three of them had broken away from the team, and after a little hesitation, they sent fifty people to chase him, and more than forty others chased Cao Bin and a dozen others.
Cao Bin and Pan Mei believed Zhao Gu's words a little, and the ultimate goal of the Liao soldiers was indeed him.
The two glanced at each other, looking at the back of Wang Jien who was running at the front, and their eyes were cold.
Subsequently, the two told Hu Yanzan and Yang Yanzhao about Zhao Gu's speculation, and after listening to it, the two of them also showed indignation, and at the same time couldn't help but feel grateful to Zhao Gu.
Zhao Gu is using his example as bait to attract the Liao soldiers to pursue!
As a result of this, the Liao soldiers were divided, and Cao Bin and others had a greater chance of escaping.
Finally, after chasing a stick of incense, seeing that Shuozhou City was close at hand, more than 40 Liao soldiers directly turned their horses' heads with a tacit understanding, and never followed behind Cao Bin and the others.
Cao Bin and the others still refused to slow down, and rode straight to Shuozhou City.
"Quick, let you General Wang Mao send troops quickly, Zhuozhou Valley is in danger." At the bottom of the city wall, Cao Bin quickly shouted.
On the other side, the three Zhao Gu, who led away the Liao army's pursuers alone, were not so easy.
The three of them seemed to turn into a large ball of honey in an instant, causing the Liao soldiers to chase after them like hungry seals.
While chasing, the Liao soldiers also shot arrows, although they were only simple wooden arrows, but the lethality was also not small, and the three of them could only avoid the arrows behind them as much as possible while escaping.
But the arrows were too dense, and even if the three of them dodged left and right, they were still inevitably shot a few arrows.
Although this kind of wooden arrow will not kill people as long as it does not reach the key place, it is still very painful.
Especially when it was tied to the horses, it was easy for them to be frightened, and they almost knocked Zhao Gu and the three off their horses.
After running for a while, seeing that the fifty Liao army was about to surround the three of them, Zhao Gu glanced around and said decisively: "Enter the woods." ”
The three of them plunged into the woods, and the Liao soldiers still followed, but because of the dense trees in the woods, for a while, they only heard the sound of horses trampling, but they couldn't tell where the people were.
However, there were also masters of reconnaissance among the Liao soldiers, who immediately judged the direction of the horses and rushed over with people.
Soon, the Liao soldiers found the horses of Zhao Gu and the three of them, but found that Zhao Gu and the three of them had already gone to the horse and disappeared.
"Chase."
The Liao soldiers rode their horses and searched around the horses, almost turning over the woods.
And where did the three of Zhao Gu go?
It turned out that just after entering the woods, Zhao Gu and the three of them directly abandoned their horses and hid behind a big tree, but the horses continued to run forward, and the Liao army mistakenly thought that the three of them had entered the depths of the woods.
In fact, the three of Zhao Gu did not go deep into the woods at all, but lurked at the entrance.
When the Liao army swarmed by, the three of them immediately returned the same way, and after leaving the woods, they changed directions and began to flee to the south.
If the Liao army found that Zhao Gu and the three were gone, they would definitely think that he would run to Shuozhou City, so they would definitely chase them to the north.
The three of them escaped for about a stick of incense, Zhao Gu suddenly stopped again, and found a place to hide on the spot, and Li Danran and Ergouzi followed closely behind and hid.
After a while, a team of Liao soldiers came over on horseback, looking for them all the way to the south, and Li Danran and Ergouzi were terrified.
It seems that the Liao soldiers are not stupid!
But Zhao Gu was a chess player after all, and after this team of Liao soldiers came back from the south and left, Zhao Gu took Li Danran and Ergouzi out and found a place to sit down.
An hour later, there was another sound of horses' hooves, and Ergouzi and Li Danran hurriedly wanted to find a place to hide, but Zhao Gu smiled faintly: "No need, this should be our people." ”
The two of them were relieved and looked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came, and sure enough, a team of Song soldiers came in the distance.
And the leading general of this pair of Song soldiers is Yang Yanzhao.
Yang Yanzhao saw that Zhao Gu and the three were not harmed, and he was obviously relieved, and asked people to bring horses to the three of them, and the group returned to Shuozhou City.
Seeing Zhao Gu come back safely, Cao Bin and the others were greatly relieved, only Wang Jien's expression was a little unnatural, although he thought he was hiding it well, but everyone had the heart to pay attention to him, and they still found it keenly.
Cao Bin and the others couldn't help but believe more and more in Zhao Gu's speculation, if Wang Jien didn't have a ghost in his heart, it would be impossible for him to show such an expression.
After having lunch in Shuozhou City, Zhao Gu and the others set off again, for the sake of safety, this time Wang Jien asked Wang Mao to send troops to escort everyone, Wang Mao naturally would not refuse, so he took five hundred people and sent everyone to the Shuozhou border.
