Chapter 144: Reunion Again
It is said that Cai Wenji heard that Chen Nuo had sent troops, so she entrusted Chen Nuo's 'parents' to Zuo Colonel, and she took all the more than 200 bandits handed over to her by Zuo Nuo to come out and prepare to receive Chen Nuo. You must know that the reason why Chen Nuo sent troops was because of Zhao Xue, and Zhao Xue had saved her, and when she heard that she was missing, and Chen Nuo might have gone to save her, she couldn't sit still, so she begged Colonel Zuo to agree to the matter. It's just that this matter is really tortuous, not only did Chen Nuo misjudge and save Zhang Liao by mistake, but Cai Wenji also hit by mistake and was intercepted by a group of Hun cavalry halfway before he could catch Chen Nuo.
Speaking of which, this group of Hun cavalry didn't look at it, it was the one that had just been defeated by Chen Nuo. It's just that this group of Hun cavalry saw that Chen Nuo helped Zhang Liao break through the siege, and he couldn't chase anymore, so he had to turn back hatefully. That is, in the middle of the road, this group of Hun cavalry happened to encounter Cai Wenji's group. Originally, there were just bandits on this side, and there was nothing to fish, and it was really unreasonable for the Huns to attack them. It's only bad that this group of Huns has sharper eyes than thieves, and they found Cai Wenji from the crowd, and then the Huns naturally killed Cai Wenji in order to win Cai Wenji. Only although these bandits are not good at fighting, they are also very afraid of this group of Huns, but fortunately, these people have been instructed by their left commander and left leader before leaving, so that they must protect Cai Wenji's safety. Although Zuo Xiao didn't recognize Cai Wenji, seeing Cai Wenji protect Chen Nuo's 'parents' back, it was a great credit, and naturally he couldn't let him have any mistakes, otherwise it would be difficult for Chen Nuo to blame him in the future. It was when Cai Wenji first wanted to lead the troops out, and his left colonel also disagreed with a thousand and ten thousand, and in the end, Cai Wenji was too resolute, so he discounted and agreed to her to go out, but he must send people from Tianwangzhai to protect her.
It's just that bandits are bandits after all, not to mention that there are only two hundred people, even if there are more than two hundred people, they will not be able to stand up to it in front of the strong Hun cavalry. Where is their combat strength equal to one thousandth of the Hun cavalry, it has already begun to collapse the moment they come into contact with the Hun cavalry. Fortunately, Cai Wenji did not panic, which gave them calmness. And they finally did not forget their own duties, and they still did not leave Cai Wenji and run away by themselves in the face of the enemy, and they also supported Cai Wenji to break through to the periphery.
It's just that this enclosure is so easy to break through? It was also Cai Wenji's goal that was too big, even if those Hun cavalry lost the direction of pursuit, they only needed to find Cai Wenji's figure, and they chased them all over the mountains. And Cai Wenji, seeing the Hun cavalry roaring left and right, and the people around him fell one after another, no matter how calm he was at this time, his expression had changed greatly, that is, he was holding a long piano in his hand, and he unconsciously grabbed a handful of sweat stains in his palm.
Fortunately, at this time, Chen Nuo's men came. His men and horses looked down on the battlefield, and it looked close, but in fact it was still a little far away. The closest is another team. This group of less than 100 people, but they are all some strong men, they are a young general and a tiger general, before Chen Nuo, like a tiger rushed into the Huns' cavalry formation, head-on to the Huns a heavy blow. Those Huns who were still chasing Cai Wenji were also surprised for a moment under the group of people they suddenly encountered. At the moment before, they didn't want to pay attention to it, but this group of people swept in like the wind, fierce and ferocious, and they couldn't get around, so they could only turn their horses and fight with the people and horses that suddenly rushed in front.
"Huh!"
Chen Nuo's body moved, and when he saw that a group of men and horses suddenly killed below to catch the Hun cavalry was a chaotic battle, he couldn't figure out which team it was for a while, so he was naturally a little surprised. Behind him, Zhu Rong Qingyi and the others, who were originally preparing to fight, suddenly heard Chen Nuo's soft voice, and they were all slightly stunned: "General, what's wrong?" Hey, who's the centaur that came out below? When he found the young general who was active with a spear in the battlefield, Chen Nuo's heart tightened unconsciously, and blurted out: "Haha, it's Zhao Xue!" Zhu Rong Qingyi and the others were stunned when they heard it, and followed the prestige. Those who recognized Zhao Xue were naturally recognized by Chen Nuo's reminder, and those who had not seen Zhao Xue such as Zhu Rong Qingyi could only guess under the guidance of others by virtue of their feelings.
"That's right, it's Zhao Xue!"
This can really be said to be intentionally planting flowers and flowers, and unintentionally planting willows and willows. In the past, he had the heart to save Zhao Xue, but it was Zhang Liao who didn't want to save him. Now, when he saw Cai Wenji in distress, although he didn't recognize it, he would not stand idly by, and was ready to reach out to save her. It's just that he hasn't done it yet, but Zhao Xue, who he is looking for, suddenly came out from the side, and he is active on the battlefield, does Chen Nuoyan have a reason not to be surprised and unhappy? At this moment, Chen Nuo certainly didn't have time to let out a series of long stunned moments, and hurriedly led the people and horses to look at the back of the Huns. Originally, Cai Wenji's department, which was tight before and after, was first killed by Zhao Xue and attracted some of the troops, and now because Chen Nuo led his troops to kill from behind, not only divided part of the Huns' troops again, but also shocked the Huns at once.
"It's them again!"
When this group of Hun leaders saw Chen Nuo and the others clearly, their faces couldn't help twitching, and their facial expressions were extremely stiff. It's no wonder that in the previous battle, Chen Nuo rescued Zhang Liao and others and ran them out of the siege, which already made them very angry, and they couldn't wait to get a meal of Haibian. It's just that because Chen Nuo's men and horses suddenly attacked, it naturally had the effect of a sneak attack and caught them off guard, which allowed Chen Nuo and the others to easily break through the encirclement and rescue Zhang Liao. Originally, there were so-called enemies who were very red when they met, and they would not give Chen Nuo a good look when they encountered Chen Nuo again, and they had to return the favor. However, Chen Nuo's return this time was already very surprising to them, and Zhao Xue had Zhao Xue in front of him first, giving the Huns a false impression that they were ambushed before and after. In this way, the Xiongnu were killed by these two groups of people before and after, and they have been baffled by them, where else can they have the time to target Chen Nuo's group alone?
Speaking of which, the other tiger general who came with Zhao Xue was none other than General Pang De of Xiliang. Previously, Zhao Xue rescued Li Su and others, and begged Pang De to dispatch the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, resulting in heavy losses. I think that if it weren't for Zhang Liao's people who just came here and blocked a disaster for them, I am afraid that Zhao Xue, Pang De, Li Su and others would have already died under the swords of the angry Xiliang rebels, where else would it be possible to rescue Cai Wenji here? Not to mention that. It was only said that Zhao Xue and the others finally broke through from the heavy siege, and when they walked back, they wanted to take Cai Wenji and Chen Nuo's 'parents' with them, but they didn't want to wait until they got to the ground, only to find that the situation was not good, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who stayed to protect Cai Wenji and the others were almost all dead, and there was only one alive left, telling them the fact that Cai Wenji was taken away by the Xiliang people. At that time, Zhao Xue sounded like a bolt from the blue, so she followed Pang De and others to the west to catch up with the Xiliang stragglers, and almost killed a group of people and horses, wanting to rescue Cai Wenji and others from them. Just because they did this, they immediately alarmed the garrisons of Wang Fang, Li Meng and other troops on the Huayin side, so that the spearheads of various generals were directly aimed at them. Soon, they were also caught off guard by the other party and were defeated. At that time, Zhao Xue and Pang De were in a group, and Li Su was alone and separated. Only Zhao Xue and the others were scattered here, naturally they didn't know that Cai Wenji and his gang were rescued by Xu Rong and his gang of stragglers, and they had already met with Li Su and others. Only Zhao Xue's side, because of this incident, still wanted to gather people and horses, and prepared to catch up with Xiliang people to find Cai Wenji and his party.
It is also Zhao Xue who has this heart, even if she was inexplicably scattered here, she still stepped up to gather people along the way, and hundreds or so of people quickly gathered around her, leading with Pang De. It's just that they have just gathered such a small number of people here, and they are going to continue on the road to the west, and they don't expect to meet Cai Wenji and his gang on the way. Speaking of which, it was a beautiful encounter. Before this, they received news that there was a group of Hun cavalry rushing towards them, when Zhao Xue and Pang De analyzed, they thought that this group of Huns was aimed at them, and thought that since it was too late to dodge, they could only face the Huns and kill them. It's just that they didn't expect that the Huns were not targeting them, but Cai Wenji and the gang they were looking for. But fortunately, they counted the Huns as a 'heartless' with their 'heart', so they gave the Huns a heavy blow head-on because of their sudden killing. It was also Zhao Xue's sudden attack that caught the Huns off guard while inflicting heavy losses on them, which saved Cai Wenji and her gang from the pursuit of the Huns and was rescued by Zhao Xue and his party from the heavy siege.
Then Zhao Xue was overjoyed when she saw Cai Wenji, and thought she was dreaming, but Cai Wenji's eyes were also wide open, and she also felt that it was really incredible. Cai Wenji may think in her heart, shouldn't Zhao Xue meet Chen Nuo first, didn't Chen Nuo go to save her, why did she appear alone at this time? Of course, she didn't have time to think about this, nor did she have time to ask this and that, but she suddenly saw Zhao Xue come out, and the encirclement in front of her was slightly loosened, so she hurriedly beckoned her entourage to look at Zhao Xue and rush here. As soon as Cai Wenji and Zhao Xue's men and horses were together, they immediately issued an order to the remaining thirty or fifty bandits behind them, asking them to obey Zhao Xue's command from now on. At this critical moment, Zhao Xue can have one more commander by his side, which is more hope. It's just that she would have thought that at this moment, Chen Nuo's troops had already quietly killed from behind, pinning down the follow-up troops of the Hun cavalry that were about to fill up.
It's the Huns, they are chasing Cai Wenji, and seeing that Cai Wenji and others are like sheep about to fall into the tiger's mouth of their Huns, they are so unhappy. Only this group of Huns knew that when they saw the sheep with their mouths, they were beaten with a full head of stars because of the sudden entry of one of Zhao Xue's men and horses. When they reacted, they found that they were only a few hundred people and horses who were taking food from their mouths, and the army was not in order, so they said that they were Xiliang's rebellious soldiers, and they also thought about integrating men and horses to kill the generals and snatch food from Zhao Xue and Pang De's mouths again. It's just that what they didn't expect was that when they were about to organize the men and horses to rob, they didn't want their rear to be chaotic again, and I don't know where a group of men and horses suddenly roared out and disrupted their back roads.
The originally crazy Xiliang people were indeed angry at this moment. They were angry at Zhao Xue's blow to the head, and angry at them for discovering that Chen Nuo and his party were the same group of thieves who had escaped from them earlier. Originally, Zhao Xue's front people were not afraid, but even Chen Nuo's men and horses and Huns didn't pay attention to it. It's just that when they suddenly realized that there was Zhao Xue in front of them and Chen Nuo in the back, and they were attacked by each other before and after, then what they thought of was not so simple. At this time, what they thought about the most was whether they would use Cai Wenji and her gang as bait to lure them to chase, and then use Zhao Xue in front to block and Chen Nuo to chase and kill, ambushing them back and forth, so as to eliminate them. It is precisely because the Huns faintly sensed this that they guided the entire battle situation to develop in the direction of favoring Chen Nuo and others.
In fact, it's no wonder that Chen Nuo wanted to say that he and Zhao Xue didn't mean this, and he didn't mean to join forces to ambush them, but it didn't seem to be reasonable. After all, the facts are in front of you, Chen Nuo's appearance and Zhao Xue's appearance are one after the other, almost as if they were rehearsing, Zhao Xue came out and gave the Huns a head-on blow first, Chen Nuo came out again to pull them back, forcing them not to add troops further. It was also Chen Nuo and Zhao Xue's unintentional cooperation that tacitly cooperated, but invisibly made the Huns start to waver. After this incident, there were those who wanted to continue fighting, thinking that the two groups of people who appeared before and after were not many and could deal with it. The objections are because Chen Nuo and Zhao Xue appeared one after the other are really strange, there is bound to be some trickery, and it is best to break through before the thieves are not encircled.
Once these two opinions swayed the Huns, the already not very firm determination of the Huns collapsed at this moment, thus giving Chen Nuo and Zhao Xue a favorable opportunity to make their limited men play an unlimited role. The front and back attacked, tacit cooperation, but it was a painful blow to the Huns. Originally, hundreds of Hun cavalry, under the joint attack of Chen Nuo and Zhao Xue, saw that they couldn't get any bargains, and they could only roar, and with the sound of the whining horn, they followed the large army to retreat in the oblique spur.
At this time, the sky had already darkened, and in fact, there was not much point in the two sides fighting in the dark night.
The torches were already lit up, and Chen Nuo stood on the horseback, looking at the small figure on the horseback opposite, but he didn't move for a long time. Calling her stupid is really stupid, she would follow others to Chang'an so stupidly because of someone else's words. In the past few days since she left, Chen Nuo didn't know how many times she had scolded her for being stupid. But when he really faced her, he really couldn't raise his 'anger' for her stupidity, and he didn't know where to run away from his anger. But if there is no expression of anger, wouldn't this invisibly boost Zhao Xue's stupidity and make her unable to remember? In that case, won't he be bewitched by others at every turn, so that once he leaves him, he has no news for menstrual months, so that he has enough heart and suffers enough to miss someone?
Although she knew that her stupidity was completely for him, she also knew that this anger really shouldn't be on Zhao Xuefa. It's just, not angry, is it for him to smile at her? I can't laugh at this. Chen Nuo, so he stood on horseback for a long time, just looked at Zhao Xue for a long time, stared at her, wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh, wanted to scold, but couldn't speak, so the facial expression stiffened so much, so that after a long time, it invisibly evolved into an anger.
“……!”
Zhao Xue looked at Chen Nuo on horseback fixedly, she wanted to make Chen Nuo laugh, but found that the smile lines on the corners of her mouth did not make the other party feel moved. So, she was timid in her heart, thinking about the suffering she had suffered for Chen Nuo, but Chen Nuo couldn't understand her, how uncomfortable she was, she was so sad in her heart at that moment, she wanted to lower her head and stop looking at Chen Nuo, not looking at her big brother who thinks day and night. However, it is clear that she is not good at this matter first, but she didn't tell her big brother before leaving, who can blame her, even if it is good for the big brother, the big brother doesn't know, on the contrary, the big brother should be angry with her, right? When Zhao Xue thought of this, she just met Chen Nuo's eyes again, she tried to squeeze out a smile again, but found that Chen Nuo's face was always cold, and there was no trace of a smile, where is this the big brother she thinks about day and night, how could he be like a different person, and forget her after not seeing her for a few months. Zhao Xue was scared, and when she said goodbye, she didn't cry, but instead of crying, it turned into a stubborn anger, she didn't make Chen Nuo laugh twice, but she was inexplicably angry in her heart, so she wanted to sprinkle this anger on Chen Nuo. Only Chen Nuo, the whole face seemed to have no expression, it was still so cold, cold and scared.
Finally, Zhao Xue trembled all over her body and surrendered first. She quickly turned over and dismounted, got off the horse, and pounced when she looked at Chen Nuo. Chen Nuo, of course, didn't mean to blame her, he just couldn't laugh, and he wanted to maintain a sense of majesty, so that Zhao Xue knew how seriously she was wrong. It's just that he didn't open his mouth at first, but in the face of Zhao Xue turning over and dismounting, he couldn't remain indifferent. So, he also quickly dismounted, but before he had time to prepare for what posture to face Zhao Xue, Zhao Xue's thousands of words were gathered into one sentence, and as soon as the big brother shouted, he looked at his broad chest and drilled down.
Chen Nuo, in the face of this familiar 'big brother' and the soft and fragrant body in his arms, no matter how much blame he had, he couldn't help but reach out, squeezed Zhao Xue's shoulders, and sighed softly in her ear: "Hey! Sister Xue, big brother, I'm a hero after all, I'm sad that you're a beauty, and I'm going to lose to you again. ”
