After dawn, after several hours of running until they reached the vicinity of Shexian County, seeing that the official army was no longer pursuing, Zhang Xianzhong and others stopped. Seeing the embarrassed army around him, Zhang Xianzhong's face was ugly, and when he counted the number of people, he wanted to cry without tears. The army of the Rogues has been reduced from more than 100,000 before the war to less than 50,000 now, which means that a large number of men and horses were lost in this battle. This battle can be said to be "stealing chickens and rice", not only that, but two leaders, Zhang Miaoshou and the Black Evil God, were killed by the official army! There are even many leaders such as Lao Huihui, Guo Tianxing, Cao Cao and so on are still surrounded by officials and soldiers, and now Yangyi, the traffic throat, has been lost, and the back road has been cut off, and these surrounded leaders don't know what price they have to pay if they want to escape again!

Zhang Xianzhong also knew in his heart that he was afraid that his prestige would plummet after this battle, and he would completely lose his leading position among the rogues. Thinking of this, Zhang Xianzhong's face was even more gloomy, and he hated Liu Fan even more in his heart, his face changed for a while, and Zhang Xianzhong said astringently, "Send someone to inform Cao Cao, Lao Huihui and others are waiting for the opportunity to evacuate!" We lost this battle! ”

After saying that, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly turned around and bowed to the remaining leaders behind him, Xing Hongwolf and the rest of the leaders, "I'm sorry everyone!" This battle is all my fault Zhang Xianzhong! I'm the one who dragged everyone into the Jedi! I apologize to everyone! In this battle, Zhang Mou lost face and was no longer suitable to be the leader of this alliance! Now I officially resign as the leader of the alliance! Sorry! Everyone! ”

Breaking into the sky, Liu Neng hurriedly helped Zhang Xianzhong up, and persuaded him: "Eight kings! It's not your fault! We all underestimated this Liu Fan to lead to such serious consequences! Now the top priority is to find a way to rescue Cao Cao, who is surrounded by officials and soldiers, and wait for the leaders to come back! Then think about what to do next! Otherwise, we're afraid our lives are in danger! At this moment of crisis, the Eight Kings should take on the responsibility of the alliance leader! Save everyone! ”

Everyone nodded in admiration when they heard Liu Neng's words, and persuaded Zhang Xianzhong to continue to serve as the leader of the alliance. The current situation is very clear to all the leaders here, all the departments in this battle have suffered huge losses, at most there are no more than 1,000 people, only Zhang Xianzhong has no loss, the strength is the strongest, although he is unwilling in his heart, but everyone understands people, and knows that if he wants to survive now, he can only rely on Zhang Xianzhong's protection!

Seeing the continuous persuasion of everyone, Zhang Xianzhong said with a solemn face, "Okay!" Since everyone still trusts Zhang so much at this time! Then I don't know what to do! Zhang has the cheekiness to continue to serve as the leader of the alliance! But don't worry! I, Zhang Xianzhong, swear here! I will definitely take everyone out of this Taihang Mountain alive! ”

When everyone heard this, they applauded: "The eight kings are righteous! We really didn't see the wrong person! Eight kings! What do you say? We all listen to you! ”

Zhang Xianzhong also looked excited and said, "Okay! Then I'll say it! Our losses this time are huge, and we really don't have the strength to continue to compete with the official army! Although we lost this battle, the men and horses of the old camp basically did not lose much! What are we people relying on! It depends on the elite of the old battalion! We've been fighting with the court for so long, what kind of wind and waves haven't we seen? As long as the old camp is still there, we will have a chance to recover! These cannon fodder are gone, as long as you leave this mountain and go to Henan and Shaanxi, there will be as many as you want! Now that we have dropped this baggage, it is easier for us! Now the main thing is to find a way to escape! ”

Zhang Xianzhong's words directly hit the hearts of many rogues, and the people present also understood that Zhang Xianzhong was right, some cannon fodder In fact, they really don't care very much, as long as people live, they will have a chance. Everyone agreed, and the originally low morale gradually recovered.

Liu Neng sensitively grasped the key point of the matter, and asked, "Eight kings, what you said is very right!" But how do you get out? You must know that now we are surrounded by layers of officials and soldiers, and not only Liu Fan's broken army is eyeing us! There is also Zuo Liangyu on the periphery, a difficult guy! I also heard that Wang Pu from Jingying has also arrived in Cixian County! Even Cao Wenzhao's nephew Cao Bianjiao is leading people to dare this way! I really don't know where we go! ”

Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said, "Liu Fan, although Zuo Liangyu is strong, they can't surround all of this Taihang Mountain, and the lack of soldiers is their biggest weakness." Now there are fewer of us! There are many ways out! Without the drag of the army, this Taihang Mountain is full of exits! The Taihang Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and the nearby officers and soldiers are surrounded everywhere, so many officers and soldiers must have different minds when they gather together, and this is where our way out lies! ”

Liu Neng was a little puzzled and said, "What is the way out?" Is there any good way for the Eight Kings? ”

Zhang Xianzhong's eyes flashed, and he said: "My method is to surrender!" ”

"Surrender!?" When everyone heard this, they exclaimed. Liu Neng even objected: "Eight kings! Do you think Liu Fan can accept our deception? When the time comes, I'm afraid that the fraudulent surrender will turn into a real surrender, so what can I do! The Broken Army is so ruthless! I don't think there's any hope for what you're saying! ”

Zhang Xianzhong rolled his eyes and said, "Who said that Liu Fan surrendered?" I was kicked in the head by a donkey? What we are looking for is not Liu Fan, but Wang Pu! ”

It's not Liu Fan! Liu Neng smiled awkwardly and continued to ask, "Wang Pu from Jingying?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said, "It's Wang Pu of Jingying!" I heard that Chongzhen Xiao'er in the capital sent a few eunuchs to be the overseers! Hehe, most of these birdless goods are greedy, as long as we have more goods, are we afraid that they will not give in? With these eunuchs as internal responses, we have a way to live! When the time comes, let's take the opportunity to find an opportunity to escape from the encirclement of the official army! Cross the Yellow River! If the officers and soldiers want to chase after us, can they still catch up? ”

Everyone is very familiar with the deception! As early as when Yang He was the governor, deception was the only magic weapon for the Liukou! How many times have the rogues relied on fraud to surrender and regained their strength by eating the food and salary of the government! As soon as Zhang Xianzhong's words came out, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all felt that this was a good idea!

Seeing that everyone agreed with his idea, Zhang Xianzhong was in a good mood, and then said, "Now Shexian can't stay!" Since everyone agrees with Zhang's idea, let's hurry up without further ado! While Liu Fan hadn't reacted yet! We hurriedly transferred in the direction of Cixian! Today, I will send an envoy to Cixian to meet Wang Pu and others, and strive to contact them as soon as possible! Open a way to life! ”

After Zhang Xianzhong and the others decided on a good strategy, they began to act, and when Liu Fan was still busy dealing with the prisoners and counting the results, Zhang Xianzhong and his people had already left Shexian County! (To be continued.) )
