Chapter 116: Fighting Wits and Courage

It turned out that Emperor Xian wrote: "On that day, Dong thieves seized power and oppressed the monarch's father; Connecting with the party, causing chaos in the court, although there are many ministers in the DPRK and China, no one can resist the power of Dong Zhuo; Although the generals in the domain are strong, no one can match Lu Bu's bravery, so that the lives of the people are ruined, and the society is in danger. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info only Diao Chan, a weak woman, stepped forward, wandered between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, clever words, fueling the flames, and making him turn against him, so that he could punish Dong Zhuo and save the Han from danger. I think that Diao Chan is also a strange woman, and the world should take her as a model, and everyone should respect her. Therefore, inform the world to show appreciation. The winter of the sixth year of Jian'an. ”

Emperor Xian picked up the white silk and handed it to Liu Yong, and said with a smile: "Chongru, this should be my congratulatory gift." ”

Liu Yong knelt on his knees, took Bai Aya with both hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "The minister Diao Chan thanked Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Xian pulled Liu Yong up and said affectionately: "Chongru, you must also take care of yourself, our monarchs and ministers must meet again, I am still waiting for you to protect you." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Liu Yong's life is not so easy to lose. ”

Cao Ren was also arranging at this time, and he also expected that the only feasible way for Liu Yong was to break through the siege while his reinforcements had not arrived, so he ordered: "All doors must send people to monitor, and there must be someone who knows the emperor." Now the snow is getting heavier and heavier, and it is not clear to see dozens of steps away, you all have to give me a twelve-point spirit, I tell you, if the emperor escapes, you and I will have to fall to the ground, do you understand? Then he asked Zhongjun, "What time is it?" The Chinese army replied, "General, it's just noon." ”

Cao Ren pondered for a moment and said: "If Liu Yong wants to break through, it will be in the middle of the night. Last night, everyone was busy all night, and the soldiers were exhausted, so they ordered each battalion to arrange officers and soldiers on duty, and everyone else went to rest. Remember that no one can remove his armor, and no horse can leave his saddle. "The generals will be ordered to return to the camp.

Cao Ren made proper arrangements, and planned to take a nap for a while, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the Chinese army hurriedly came to report that about 400 of Liu Yong's subordinates had left the city. Cao Ren was taken aback, in broad daylight, Liu Yong was about to break through! Cao Ren hurriedly led his men and horses out of the camp to meet the battle. I saw Dong Xi and Pei Yuanshao leading about 500 people out of the south gate, and the crossbowmen, pikemen, and long knife soldiers formed a team of nearly ten clans, with clear clothes and armor, and a majestic style. The middle clan was holding a small cart, covered with a cloth, and did not know what was going on inside. This large group of men and horses walked slowly, half a mile away from the city, and suddenly did not leave.

Cao Ren asked, "Look carefully, is there Liu Yong in this?" Several lieutenants watched for a long time, but they didn't see it. Cao Ren did not dare to take it lightly, and was worried about the archery skills of these crossbowmen, so he ordered the team to be surrounded from afar, and pulled up ropes, trapped horse pits, and laid thorns and spikes where they had to pass.

Seeing that Dong Xi and the others just pulled up the frame but did not attack, Cao Ren didn't know what he meant, and wanted to besiege him from all sides, but he was afraid of chaos, so Emperor Xian ran away. What's more, the car looks like it can only take two people, if Liu Yong is not in the car, he will still be in the city, anyway, Dong Xi will not move, he might as well wait for work and move with the camera.

The two parties held each other for about an hour, and suddenly the shouting in the direction of the east gate shook the sky, Cao Ren was taken aback, and saw that Dong Xi and the others were still calm, as if they hadn't heard it, Cao Ren was even more shocked and suspicious. After a while, a report came from the east gate, and Liu Yong broke through the east gate with more than 50 people and a small car.

"Have you ever released an arrow?"

"Because I don't know if the saint is in the car, and there is no order from the general, I don't dare to release the arrows. On the one hand, General Han asked people to go into the city to search for those who had missed the net, and on the other hand, he led his men to chase after him. ”

"General Han has made arrangements." Cao Ren nodded in praise and asked again, "Is there anything unusual over there?" ”

"Liu Yong and his men all have a wooden plank on their backs."

"Planks? What to do with the planks? Cao Ren was even more inexplicable.

"We don't know. I guess it may be because the shield is not enough, so it is used to block bows and arrows. ”

Cao Ren was suspicious for a while, and then asked, "Do you see anyone who looks like the emperor or a woman?" ”

"One of the chamberlains said that it was windy, and he blew the curtain of the cart open, but there were two women inside. In addition, there is a soldier beside Liu Yong who looks a little like the emperor, but also a little like it. The general should have made a decision as soon as possible, there are all Liu Yong's elites over there, and there are few of us and we can't resist it. ”

Cao Ren was suspicious, and at this time a group of Cao soldiers rushed out of the city, and they entered the city to search after Liu Yong withdrew. The general who led the team came to Cao Ren's side to report that nothing had been found in the city, and the strange thing was that the door panels of each house were no longer there.

Cao Ren didn't understand what he meant, thought about it again, and ordered: "All the crossbowmen release arrows to the cart in the middle." The generals were shocked and said in surprise: "General, what if the Holy One is inside?" ”

Cao Ren said angrily: "If you shoot you and obey the order, you will bear any consequences." The generals did not dare to disobey and gave the order to release the arrows. The car was in the middle of the crowd, and if you want to shoot, you can only shoot into the air first, and take a parabola to hit the target. Dong Xun saw that the arrow was not fast, so he only raised his shield to meet him, and the formation remained unchanged.

Cao Ren saw that there were more than a dozen arrows inserted in the cart in an instant, and Dong Xi and the others only cared about their own safety and ignored the cart, so they smiled and said, "Do you know why I ordered you to release the arrows?" If the emperor was inside, Dong Xi would definitely send someone to block it, and now the car is full of bows and arrows, indicating that the saint is not in the car. These sergeants waved their shields and blocked arrows in a uniform manner, and none of them were unusual, and they were obviously well-trained on weekdays. From this, it can be seen that the Holy One is not in this army. This is Liu Yongsheng's plan to attack the west from the east, with the majority of the troops to contain me here, and he led the small troops to coerce His Majesty to flee eastward. Fortunately, there is Heshan Mountain to the east, and Liu Yong drove with a car, and he couldn't walk fast. The congregation will listen to me. Cao Ren arranged in a low voice, leaving the infantry to contain Dong Xian, and he led the cavalry to chase Liu Yong.

Cao Ren had just shown signs of troop transfer, and when Dong attacked an order, all the departments took the initiative to attack and shouted in unison, "Hugh has left Cao Ren." Cao Ren was even more sure that Emperor Xian was at Liu Yong's place, so he accelerated his journey and pursued eastward.

At this time, the cold wind was cold, only to see the snowflakes flying all over the sky in front of him, and then it was white and boundless, fortunately, the heavy snow last night was half a foot deep, and the horseshoe prints and axle prints were clearly visible. It's just that Cao Jun and horses were everywhere along the way, which made Cao Ren angry and anxious. After galloping eastward for an hour, he collided head-on with the wounded Adjutant General Han. Cao Ren asked, "How long has Liu Yong been?" ”

Vice General Han was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, endured the pain and said, "Return to General." Half an hour has passed. His spies were extremely skilled in shooting, and they shot far away, and the last general chased here, and his mount was shot to death, and the last general was injured and could not chase anymore. However, Liu Yong took the emperor and his female dependents, and there were high mountains in front of him, and the general would definitely be able to catch up, but he had to be careful of his crossbowmen. ”

Cao Ren was furious and said angrily: "You go back to treat your injuries first." The others are chasing after me. With that, he galloped his horse. After another hour, the terrain gradually rose, and further on, the mountain became higher and higher, and it seemed that it had reached the boundary of Heshan Mountain. Cao Ren saw that the imprint showed no signs of separation, and secretly said in his heart, Liu Yong is nothing more than that, if you divide into several roads, I still have some difficulties, but you are in one place, see if your car is fast or my horse is fast.

After walking for a few more miles, there was no road in front of him, and a small car was left beside him. Cao Ren saw that there was no one inside, and he was even more happy when he smelled the fragrance of fat powder coming from inside, and ordered to speed up. At this time, the mountain road is steeper, the forest is full of fog, and it is almost impossible to see the front, but fortunately, the hoof prints are still very obvious, and after walking for a while, the front is more steep, and the horses cannot pass, and the marks on the ground are extremely messy.

Cao Ren ordered to dismount, take off his armor, and march lightly along the imprint. Suddenly, the horses in front neighed, Cao Ren was startled, made a move, and took the soldiers to hide behind the trees, and walked forward alternately, only to see dozens of war horses scattered in the huge forest, empty. Fortunately, the snow had already lightened a lot, and Liu Yong and the others had only passed for a short time, so Cao Ren easily spotted a faint trail not far away, winding up the mountain road.

"Why are these footprints so weird?" Cao Ren hesitated a little, because what Liu Yong's brigade left behind was a shallow imprint, which was not like a human footprint at all. Whatever, catch up, Cao Ren said excitedly: "Liu Yong is in front." He took the emperor and a few women, and he must not be able to go fast. Soldiers, hold Liu Yong, this will play the prime minister, and there will be many rewards. The soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and they chased after them with great spirits.

Unexpectedly, yesterday's heavy snow accumulated thicker in the mountains, barely reaching the calf, and it was extremely difficult to walk, and after dozens of steps, Cao Ren was so tired that he was panting. "General, we can't chase after you like this." One sergeant reminded, "When my subordinates saw the footprints of the enemy just now, they should have tied a plank to their feet, so that they would not be able to get stuck in the snow easily." ”

Cao Ren suddenly realized, and urgently ordered: "Order, the whole army peels the bark and rushes to make snowboards." Soon, Cao Bing put on improvised sleds, and the delay was not long.

"Everyone, work hard, we can't be compared to women. Grit your teeth and chase! Cao Ren was agitated and chased after him with all the troops.

Liu Yong was also gritting his teeth and insisting at this time, he had two women on his side, Diao Chan and Cai Wenji, this was not because he was favoritism, but because he had to bring them in order to confuse Cao Ren. Liu Yong actually made a lot of preparations, before leaving, he asked someone to tie the trouser tube, sleeve tube and head and neck tightly to avoid the wind and snow on the mountain, and each person rushed to make several pairs of simple gloves, and then sent a few people to explore the road in front first, and tied a thick rope at intervals, so that the people behind could pull the rope forward, and save a lot of physical strength in the wind and snow. However, even like this, the two women were still physically exhausted, so they had to stop and go, and the distance between them and Cao Ren was getting closer and closer.

Diao Chan was cold and tired, with tears in his eyes, and whispered to Liu Yong: "Big brother, I really can't walk." If this continues, it will definitely drag everyone down. Why don't I hide nearby, you go first, and when the pursuers are over, I'll look for you." ”

Liu Yong said angrily: "Don't say such stupid things, you are a weak woman on the mountain, can you still survive?" I don't agree, and besides, we weren't so easily caught. Then he pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "As long as they can't catch up with us before they get there, they won't try to hold us." ”

Diao Chan hummed, gritted his teeth and walked again, only walked a few steps, poofed, and fell into the snow. Liu Yong stepped forward and helped Diao Chan up. Diao Chan burst into tears, stood up and was shaky, crying: "Childe, Diao Chan is really not good, you let me die here." ”

Liu Yong knew that Diao Chan's body had reached its limit, so he comforted softly: "I know you have done your best. He said to the two of them, "Don't worry, I won't give up on you, if you want to die, the three of us will die together." Diao Chan and Cai Wenji were moved and sweet when they heard it.

Liu Yong leaned over and lifted Diao Chan on his back, and Diao Chan was startled and struggled to come down. Liu Yong's hands tightened, and he feigned anger: "Don't move, do you want us all to die here?" ”

Diao Chan snorted: "Isn't this a drag on the son even more?" Diao Chan ......"

Liu Yong interrupted her and said, "As long as you are quiet and don't move, you won't drag me down." Asked Zhou Cang to take a piece of linen cloth and wrapped Diao Chan around Liu Yong's back, so that Liu Yong could free his hands and pull the rope forward. Diao Chan lay on Liu Yong's back, grateful and ashamed, tears rolling down.

Liu Yong turned his head and said to Cai Wenji: "I'll carry you again in a while." ”

Cai Wenji smiled: "I don't need to." Big brother forgot that I had escaped from the Huns. Is this little bit of a road nothing? You just take care of your sister. ”

Liu Yong saw that Cai Wenji was gentle and considerate, and he loved her very much, so he suddenly hugged her waist and kissed her on the face while people were not paying attention. Cai Wenji was stunned, it was the first time she felt Liu Yong's intimate behavior, it can be seen that her imprint has been deeply imprinted on Liu Yong's heart, she is ashamed and happy, and she only feels that her steps are much lighter.

Cao Ren was also speeding up, and after another half a mile, a soldier shouted, "General, look, they are in front." (To be continued.) )
