Chapter 68: Rescuing Chen Gong
The horses of the scouts of the Xiliang army are very fast, but they don't seem to be in a hurry to catch Chen Gong immediately, but they just chase after him, obviously taking this as a game, these soldiers are Liangzhou Qiang people, they belong to the nomadic people, they grew up on horseback since childhood, equestrianism is far from being comparable to the soldiers of the Central Plains, Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army has a lot of Hu people, which is also a big reason for the strong combat effectiveness of the Xiliang cavalry, the Hu people's riding skills plus the weapons and armor of the Han people, they have become extremely powerful.

The green horse under Chen Gong's crotch had been running for more than thirty miles in a row at this time, and the war horse was gradually a little overwhelmed at this time, with heavy turbidity spewing out from its mouth and nose, and its speed gradually began to slow down.
Chen Gong was anxious, Xiliang Jun had already begun to release arrows at this time, their arrows were very sharp, several feather arrows flew past Chen Gong's scalp, Chen Gong had already felt the breath of death, his back was dripping with cold sweat, his hair stood up, and his heart was extremely nervous.
Suddenly, there was a mournful roar from the war horse under Chen Gong's crotch, and then he threw himself forward and fell to the ground, Chen Gong was caught off guard, and fell off the war horse at once.
He glanced up, and there was a feathered arrow stuck in the warhorse, and it was obvious that the reason why the warhorse fell was precisely because of the arrow.
Chen Gong stood up at this time and wanted to run, but where are the two legs of a person comparable to the four legs of a war horse, and the scouts of the Xiliang Army seem to have exhausted their patience, the five scouts no longer play the game of cat and mouse, they came over and surrounded Chen Gong in the middle, Chen Gong pulled out his three-foot sword and put on a posture of counterattack, the soldiers of the Xiliang Army looked at each other and smiled, one of them slapped Chen Gong's back with the back of the horizontal knife in his hand, Chen Gong couldn't bear it, and instantly fell to the ground, The two soldiers of the Xiliang Army turned over and dismounted, took out a rope and a rag from the horse, they tied up Chen Gong, stuffed the sour rag into his mouth, and then threw him on top of a changing war horse, several of them turned over and got on the horse, and prepared to leave satisfied.
Just when the five people were about to leave, there was a burst of loss flying in front of them, and the five people were caught off guard, and they were shot at three people at once, and the remaining two reacted quickly, and they didn't care about their companions, so they immediately urged the war horse and fled westward.
Chen Gong was lying on the back of the horse, so this array of arrows did not hit him, he had a rag in his mouth, he couldn't shout, he glanced west, only to see two fleeing Xiliang soldiers, were shot off their horses by two rapidly flying feather arrows, and the two frightened war horses quickly ran away.
This is, a group of soldiers came on, the leader was wearing black armor, and he was holding a big knife more than a foot long in his hand, this big knife was shining in the sunlight, and his eyes were painful, Chen Gong snorted twice, trying to call for help.
The general glanced at him, waved the knife in his hand, and slashed straight at Chen Gong's chest, Chen Gong was shocked, twisted his body and wanted to get rid of it, but the speed of this person's knife was too fast, he only saw a white horse flashing, and the rope on his body was actually cut.
Chen Gong immediately took off the rags in his mouth, spat on the ground, and a soldier handed him a kettle, Chen Gong poured several sips before he rinsed his mouth cleanly, and then quenched his thirst by the way.
"Xiaguan Zhongmu County Order, thank you for the general's life-saving grace, please accept Chen Gong's worship!"
"Are you the county magistrate of Zhongmu County?"
Xu Chu raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised in his heart.
His original mission was to go to Yingchuan to support Li Min, but the Xiliang army directly sent troops to attack Zhongmu County, Liu Zhi heard the news and urgently ordered him to quickly feel Zhongmu go, and asked him to save the county order of Zhongmu County, it seems that it is a person named Chen Gong.
"Your name is Chen Gong!?"
Hearing Xu Chu's inquiry, Chen Gong was also taken aback, he was just a small county magistrate, and his reputation was not obvious outside, looking at this person's dress, at least he was also a Zhonglang general, he would actually know himself.
"Xiaguan is indeed Chen Gong, I wonder how the general will know the name of Zaixia?"
Xu Chu laughed, "Chen County Order, my lord has heard your name for a long time, and I specially asked me to pick you up today, I heard on the way that the Xiliang Army was besieging Zhongmu, and I was still worried in my heart, worried about how I would break through the siege of the Xiliang Army and rescue you, who would have thought that my Xu Chu's luck was so good, and I met you halfway, this is good, but it also saves a lot of trouble." ā
Chen Gong was curious when he heard this, it turned out that this person was called Xu Chu, could it be the Xu Chu who slashed Ji Ling? He said that his lord wanted to see him, so could this lord of his be Liu Zhi of Runan?
However, although Chen Gong had a lot of questions in his heart, he was still thinking about another big thing at this time, that is, what Xu Chu just said, the Xiliang army was besieging Zhongmu County.
"General Xu, although Zhongmu County is small, but there are nearly 1,000 innocent people in the city, the Xiliang army is addicted to killing, and there are many slaughters in every place, and now they are attacking the city, I am afraid that when the city is broken, it is the day when the people in the city are in trouble, Chen Gong, as the magistrate of Zhongmu County, should have the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people, when Chen has no power to restrain the chicken, and there is no slightest soldier, it is difficult to rescue those innocent people, so Chen Gong dares to ask General Xu to lead troops to rescue those people in the city, Chen thank you for those people!"
After speaking, he knelt down to Xu Chu, Xu Chu's eyes were quick, and he quickly pulled Chen Gong and didn't let him bow down, in China, kneeling and bowing since ancient times was a great gift, although Xu Chu was a military general, but he was not stupid, Liu Zhi cared so much about Chen Gong, which obviously showed that he wanted to reuse Chen Gong, that is to say, in the future, he and the person in front of him were likely to be colleagues working together, the robe was in trouble, he should stand up and help, but this matter in front of him was not a joke, he only brought a thousand soldiers, and the Xiliang army was full of 30,000 people, Let him take these thousand people to relieve the siege of Zhongmu County, which is too difficult.
"Chen County Order, you don't have to be like this, Xu Chu also wants to save people, but you also saw it, I only have such a few soldiers under my hands, the number of Xiliang troops is thirty times that of us, and they are all elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, it is impossible for us to break through their defenses and enter the county seat."
Chen Gong glanced at the soldiers under Xu Chu's command, although they only had a thousand people, but seeing that their momentum was not lost to the elite Xiliang Army, they were obviously well-trained elite soldiers, so he had a plan in his heart, so he nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, general, Chen Gong has his own way!" ā
