Twenty kilometers from Pengcheng, a few disheveled men were panting south. These people are none other than Pei Dun and others who escaped from Pengcheng.

I saw Pei Dun wipe the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and casually asked the guards around him: "Do you know where this official is?"

The guard gasped and replied, "Lord Qiyu, ten kilometers further on, you will reach Lu County. My lord, you see that we have also been on the road for more than an hour, and now that people are sleepy and tired, why don't you go to Lu County to rest for a day or two? ”

"That's right, my lord, when we get to Lu County, we can also gather the local young guards." Another attendant also spoke up.

Unexpectedly, Pei Dun did not hesitate to refuse the guards' suggestion, and he pointed to the Surabaya under his feet: "Lu County is on the other side of Surabaya, how can we cross the river without boats?" Besides, who knows if there are pursuers behind, in case the Hu people chase after them when they are crossing the river, won't they miss a big event? ”

Pei Dun will never stop halfway until he goes to Xiapi, and he has been frightened by the Hu people in the first battle of Pengcheng. It's just that it's not good to show it in front of his subordinates, so he has to refuse to go to Lu County on the grounds that he has no boat to cross the river.

At this time, Pei Dun couldn't help but think of Zu Ti and Wei Shuo, if the two of them were here, why did he fall to such a point. A good history of Xuzhou thorns, now like a lost dog, was driven out of Pengcheng by the Hu people.

Pei Dun looked at the down-and-out entourage guards, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Alas, I knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" ”

……

Not to mention Pei Dun and his entourage, who fled in embarrassment, just Sima Ao and Wang Bao, who led the army out of the city to pursue. Originally, after pursuing for thirty miles, Wang Bao was about to return to Pengcheng according to Wang Sang's general order. Unexpectedly, after Sima Ao said something, he suddenly changed his mind.

I only heard Sima Ao instigating and bewitching Wang Bao and said: "General, now the two generals Wang and Zhao are about to enter Xuzhou and become a prince like General Cao. Soon after, the two generals Wang and Zhao will be crowned heroes. But the general asked himself, what kind of reward will he receive in the future? Can you take charge of the party on your own with merit? ”

"It's not my Sima Ao's boast of Haikou, if it weren't for my secret song, this Pengcheng might not be so easy to take, it can be seen that in this battle of Pengcheng, my Sima Ao's credit is the greatest. On the contrary, since the entry of my army into Xuzhou, the generals of the Wang and Zhao clans, led by the generals, have not performed well. ”

Although Sima Ao's words were unpleasant, Wang Bao did not speak against it, and the confidant generals who had followed Wang and Zhao for many years did not perform well in the battle of Xuzhou. First, Zhao Dan died in Liuxian, losing 3,000 soldiers and horses, and then when he captured Pengcheng, he was thanks to Sima Ao's plan.

"If the general wants to show his talents in front of the two generals Wang and Zhao, and seek a head start for the future reward, he must make great contributions in the next big war."

Wang Bao's heart was moved, and he hurriedly asked for advice: "Please Mr. Sima teach me!" ”

"Now there is a great merit waiting for the general, it depends on whether the general dares to take it!" Sima Ao pretended to be profound.

"Sir, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, and the leopard will listen to it."

"The general doesn't know, thirty kilometers away from Pengcheng is the county seat of Lu County, although we haven't seen Pei Dun's shadow all the way, but with the understanding of him, this person must go to Lu County to rest. If the general raises a large army and goes straight to Lu County, he can not only catch Pei Dun, but also take Lu County by the way to report the good news to Wang and Zhao! ”

After listening to Sima Ao's words, Wang Bao made up his mind after a little hesitation, and it was still related to the military system of the Xiongnu and Han States. Although the Xiongnu took advantage of the weakness of the Central Plains Dynasty to gain the upper hand for a while, the Xiongnu were born in the grassland people, and although they absorbed a lot of Han culture, they were still influenced by the unique habits of the grassland people when building the country.

For example, in the Xiongnu and Han countries, generals at all levels were actually independent small warlords, which were very characteristic of the tribal culture of the grassland peoples. This Wang Leopard is actually also a soldier under Wang and Zhao, he has his own subordinates, but he is controlled by Wang and Zhao on weekdays.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Bao will be bewitched by Sima Ao, of course he wants to make a great contribution in the battle of Xuzhou, so that he will be sent out by Wang and Zhao to sit on one side in the future reward. So he groaned a little, and led his men along Surabaya towards Lu County.

Looking at Wang Leopard's figure, the corners of Sima Ao's mouth showed a hint of disdain, and he secretly said to himself: "The Hu people are really barbarians and uncivilized, and they were fooled by me in a few words, which is even better than Pei Dun." ”

Although Sima Ao put a lot of thought into catching Pei Dun, he didn't expect Pei Dun to dare to stay in Lu County.

In order to catch up with the fleeing Pei Dun as quickly as possible, Sima Ao and Wang Bao tried their best to race along Surabaya all the way.

Once the Hu cavalry soared, it was really not covered, and its speed was far from being comparable to Pei Dun. In this way, the distance between Sima Ao and Pei Dun became closer and closer, and when they were about to arrive in Lu County, the Hu cavalry finally saw Pei Dun and others who fled in a hurry in front. At this time, after sixty miles of wild running, Pei Dun and the others had reached the end of the crossbow.

Facing the approaching pursuers, Pei Dun was so frightened that his face was blank, and he trembled and only cared about urging the horse to move quickly. After seeing the back of Pei Dun and his entourage who were on the run, Wang Bao and Sima Ao were overjoyed, and they didn't care about the fatigue of the war horses after the forced march, but quickly whipped up and chased forward again.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!" Pei Dun looked back, and a large number of Hu people chased after him, and he couldn't help but clutch his chest and shouted. At this time, Pei Dun really regretted coming to Pengcheng, and he knew that it was better to stay in Xiapi! It's okay to compete with Zu Ti for the limelight, he is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, and he Pei Dun can only recite poems.

Sima Ao looked at Pei Dun's figure getting closer and closer, and the whole person became excited, staring at Pei Dun with red eyes without blinking, eager to step forward and grab him now. It's just that the desperate situation seems to have stimulated Pei Dun's potential, and for a while, he couldn't hold on to the Ehu cavalry who were galloping with all their might.

"Pei Tingshi, it's Sima Ao below! The old people see each other, why don't Master Pei get off the horse and meet in the next meeting? ”

Pei Dun in front of him was even more panicked when he heard that Sima Ao was chasing after him in person. At the beginning, he wanted to control Sima Ao to death, but he was detected by the other party and fled in advance. Unexpectedly, now that the situation has reversed, his own life and death are in the hands of Sima Ao. He didn't answer, he only hated his parents for having a leg, and he couldn't leave the enemy far away.

Sima Ao and Pei Dun, one chased behind and the other fled in front, it seemed that the two sides were comparable, but after a long time, Pei Dun slowly fell behind. After all, Pei Dun is not as good as Wang Bao's cavalry and archery skills, and his horse is not as good as the other party, so the distance between the two is getting closer and closer......

Seeing that Pei Dun was about to escape, those few composers couldn't help but get anxious. Ever since they grew up, they have been indoctrinated with the idea that the life of the head of the family must be protected at all times!

In desperation, several generals turned around and came towards Hu Ren instead, hoping to buy Pei Dun more time to escape. The reason why these tribal families will do this, in addition to being brainwashed, is also for the future life of those families who remain in the Pei family.

In case Pei Dun escapes, even if they die in battle, Pei Dun will take care of their families in the future, so that they can exchange their lives for their families for a better life in the future.

However, it is a pity that a few brave Pei family tribes did not stop the speed of the pursuit of the Hu cavalry, and their resistance was just like an inconspicuous small wave in the sea, and it quickly calmed down.

Without the help of the trilogy, Pei Dun's escape road became more difficult, and Hu Qi behind him became more and more excited. Even as soon as he turned around, he could see the pores on Hu Ren's face, which frightened Pei Dun even more, and he just hugged the horse's neck and beat the horse under his crotch desperately.

My life is at rest! Just when Pei Dun was becoming more and more desperate, he suddenly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps from the opposite side, and it seemed that many people were rushing towards him from a distance. Pei Dun's spirit was shocked, and he couldn't help shouting: "Where are the soldiers and horses ahead?" I am Xuzhou Assassin Shi Pei Dun, come and save this official! ”
