Chapter 43: Darkness
Zhang He's consciousness was a little blurry, and the last memory was still in the scene where he broke through, but at this moment, he only felt a tearing sensation between his neck, and subconsciously, he brackezed up his strength to touch it, but only felt a sharp pain.
"General! Checkmate! General Xiahou, General Zhang has woken up! Zhang He noticed the deputy general of the guard beside him, he wanted to say something, but he only felt a pain in his throat.
"Woo Woo!" After a while, he saw a hidden figure appear in his eyes, and Zhang He looked at it, but it was his main general, Xiahou Yuan. He tried his best to stand up, but was forcibly held down by Xiahou Yuan.
"Alas, this battle was too tragic! Komeito has already died in battle, and that arrow is really terrifying! Even I feel that you are dead. If it weren't for your guards who insisted on protecting your body, but no one knew that you were so lucky, the crossbow bolt just grazed your neck, and the doctor came to see it, and it will take a while to recover, and maybe after recovery, your voice will be affected. Xiahou Yuan looked at the fierce general under his tent with a sly face, and was extremely sorry in his heart.
But also, Zhang Hezhong's arrow, almost everyone thought it was a mortal situation, but more than 1,000 people under his command under the leadership of the deputy general insisted on desperately trying to save his body, and they broke out from the pursuit of the Shu army and merged with Xiahou Yuan's men and horses. But he was shocked to find that Zhang He actually saved a life, but the crossbow arrow was extremely powerful, almost half of his neck shè away, and Suo Xìng did not touch the vital blood vessels, which was extremely dangerous.
Cao Jun ran wildly all the way, and when he got out of the east gate of Baodong, he immediately turned around and rushed north. But it was temporarily out of Huo Yi's pursuit, but in fact, most of them were Cao soldiers guarding the east gate After Xiahou Yuan and his men and horses left the city, Xiahou Ba led them desperately to block Huo Yi's military horses. It let Xiahou Yuan get away.
Cao's army went all the way to the north, plundering the countryside all the way, or hunting wild animals, and the cavalry of more than 2,000 people did not lose their troops, taking care of Zhang He's injuries, when passing through a very prosperous town, he captured a healer, and grabbed a carriage or two for Zhang He's general to rest.
In Baozhong City, Huo Yi was extremely angry, seeing that the good situation of completely destroying the three generals of Hanzhong was bad for this person, but he couldn't help but be angry. Looking coldly at Xiahou Ba, who was tied up at the bottom of the stairs but was extremely arrogant, Huo Yi suddenly had a headache. This person is a good general, but in the end, he is the son of Xiahou Yuan, in fact, the reason why Xiahou Ba surrendered to Shu Han in the official history is also very complicated, but it is impossible to expect this guy to surrender now.
Chop it? It's a talent, it's a pity. Don't chop? At this moment, the corpse of the Shu army lying under the east gate could not be said. In the battle last night, this guy resisted Huo Yi's attack at the east gate, and he was captured until dawn.
Huo Yi touched his head, thought about it for a long time, and waved his hand: "Send it to the lord's big tent, and say that it is Xiahou Yuan's second son!" ”
"Whoa!"
Huo Yifu looked at the generals in the tent again: "Youming! If you want your scout battalion to go out en masse and sweep the enemy to the north, there is only one remnant army on Xiahou Yuan's side, this person is extremely brave, and he can't let him go. The three generals of Hanzhong have gone to the second, if this last person can be killed, it is the best! ”
"Whoa! Let's do it! Ye Zhi took the order and left.
Huo Yi was about to give orders for other things, but he heard a voice outside the tent: "General! The lord sent for the general to go to the camp immediately. ”
Huo Yi was extremely annoyed, the war here has not completely ended, so he has to go to the big tent by himself, isn't it adding to the chaos? But the order could not be disobeyed, so I had to get up: "I'll go, Anguo will be with me." Shu Yue gathered all the cavalry under my command, handed it over to General Li, and when Youming's information was handed back, he immediately sent troops to pursue Xiahou Yuan! ”
"Whoa! The general goes by himself, and he knows! ”
Huo Yi didn't say anything more, led Guan Xing out of the tent, stepped on the horse, and led a group of guards straight to the north of the city.
In the big tent of the lord in the north of the city, Liu Bei was sitting behind the case, and Liu Feng stood quietly on one side. A man in black stood quietly under the tent, like air, which made people ignore it.
"What you say is the truth?" After a long time, Liu Bei said slowly.
"Whoa! Humble observation for a long time, this person's heart is definitely not in one city and one place! His heart is far away, comparable to Sun Cao and his ilk! The man in black said quietly.
"Father arranged for you to get close to Huo Yi, and you did a good job." Liu Feng looked at Shen Tuqiang and said with a smile.
"Serving the Lord is a lowly duty, and there is no need for anything else." Shen Tuqiang's tone was still flat.
"Who else knows about this except you?" Liu Bei rolled up his sleeves and looked at the man in black with his eyes like lightning......
"The Ma family also knows!" The man in black slowly raised his head, revealing his half-step cheeks, if Huo Yi was here, he would definitely recognize it, but this is not Shen Tuqiang, who is it?
Liu Bei frowned slightly, and flicked his fingers on the case: "Ma family? ”
"Whoa! His Majesty found the dead soldiers of the Ma family on Huo Shaoxian's side many times, and even in Linyuan City, these dead soldiers once launched a surprise attack to kill Huo Yi! ”
"Father, the Ma family dares to raise dead soldiers, they are just a cadre, and they are not small in their ambitions, and they are not much better than Huo Yi!" Liu Feng said coldly.
Liu Bei shook his head: "The Ma family serves me, and it is quite dutiful, in my opinion, this Ma family and the Huo family must have some internal connection, otherwise it would not be like this." The Huo family is also loyal to me, but Huo Yi is young and vigorous after all, and he doesn't know how to restrain his wings, so far, I haven't found any disobedience to him. ”
"Father! However, Shentu Junhao found out that there were several more generals under this person's command for no reason, all of whom were civil and military, and they were comparable to the generals in the army, so they had to be guarded against! Liu Feng said urgently.
Liu Bei glanced at Liu Feng coldly: "I will hand over the most secret force under my hands to you to control, not for you to blame others for no reason, Huo Yi is loyal or disloyal, I have my own plan in my heart." I also know very well what you are doing! It's just that sometimes, you have to stop when it's time to stop, otherwise ......"
Liu Feng looked at Liu Bei's cold eyes, his heart was cold, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had to retreat as promised and stand quietly on one side.
Liu Bei picked up a stack of silk silks handed over by Shen Tu in front of the case, which densely recorded Huo Yi's actions after taking over the governor of Jingnan, and laughed softly: "I thought that this son was good at fighting, but I never thought that he was also quite insightful about political affairs!" ”
Liu Feng's eyes flashed with an unnoticed hint of yīnsen, but it was quickly hidden by his humble expression.
Liu Bei glanced at Shen Tuqiang: "You go, you don't have to come to see me if you have nothing to do in the future, and serve well in Huo Yi's army!" ”
Shen Tuqiang glanced at Liu Bei gratefully, but he didn't say anything in his mouth, but just promised to come out.
"Since the dawn of the year, they will no longer be under your rule, but will be in my hands. I have agreed to your request, and I will ask Huo Yi for a group of men and horses, and get on your 5,000 troops to gather 8,000 men, that is, I will gallop to the aid of Meng Da, and there will be no delay! Liu Bei didn't look at Liu Feng, and said slowly.
"Whoa!" Liu Feng saluted slowly.
"Report! General Huo was called to come and wait outside the tent! The guard under the tent said loudly.
Liu Bei's cold face was immediately like ice and snow melting, and he smiled heaped, slowly walked out of the tent, and greeted Huo Yi in person. (To be continued.) )
