After Zhou Tai's toss, only half of the five thousand Nanyang soldiers slowly retreated under the leadership of Chen Lin, and none of the generals in the army survived, and the sluggish atmosphere in the army was out of control, fortunately, this was Nanyang's soldiers, Chen Lin didn't want to be saddened more, just thinking that he could bring these people to Xinye safely. After dawn, Chen Lin and his group of 3,000 soldiers and horses walked less than twenty miles, and suddenly Chen Ze came over and Chen Lin said, "Big brother, Zhong Zhi wants to lead the wolf to ride back." When Chen Li heard this, he said: "Now that a thousand cavalry have returned to Pingchun, I am afraid that it will not work." Chen Ze said: "The eldest brother misunderstood, Zhong Zhi did not want to attack Pingchun County, but to the south, Zhao Ci sent Zhou Jiu to break the Nanyang reinforcements, and killed the Taishou Lord, it will inevitably be lax on the West Road Army, at this time Zhao Ci is going south to intercept the Lord of Jingzhou Thorn Shi, if the wolf rides to catch up, and the Lord Thorn Shi one north and one south to attack Zhao Ci, it can be a great success. After Chen Ze finished speaking, Jia Xu clapped his hands and applauded: "The second general's plan is very suitable for the art of war, the lord, and he thinks that the second general's plan is feasible." ”

Chen Lin saw that Jia Xu said this, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, if Wen He temporarily leads the Nanyang army to retreat, and the wolf cavalry attacks, Wen He should not follow, Wen He can arrange it by himself after returning to Xinye, and he will return to Hanzhong after defeating Zhao Ci's anti-thief." As soon as Chen Lin said this, everyone knew that this Chen Lin was going to go by himself, Jia Xu thought about it, with a thousand wolves riding to protect him, Chen Lin would not have any accidents, so he also nodded and agreed.

It is said that Zhou Tai tied Qin Jie's head around his waist, and after hurriedly exiting the camp of the Nanyang Army with five hundred cronies, he went straight back to Pingchun County, and was about to receive a reward from Zhao Ci. Zhou Tai thought about it, and led his troops to change the route and go south, in Zhou Tai's opinion, instead of being idle in Pingchun County, it was better to go south to see if he could take advantage of the chaos. Zhou Tai didn't really care about Zhao Ci's life or death, nor did he care about any rebellion and rebellion, Zhou Tai only thought about how to make his group live better.

Zhou Tai left Pingchun County with his men and horses in this way, wanting to go south to find Zhao Ci to receive the reward. A group of 500 people had just left Pingchun less than 20 miles away, and saw thick smoke billowing from a village, and Zhou Tai hurriedly stepped forward to check. This sight made the lungs of 500 people explode, and it turned out that the village had suffered a military disaster at some point, and the whole village was killed cleanly, and there were many women who were obviously insulted. Although Zhou Tai and others plundered on the water, they never hurt ordinary people, and from time to time they helped poor families who couldn't survive. A person next to Zhou Tai shouted to Zhou Tai: "Big brother, this must be Zhao Ci's arson, we still help him, this ......" The man said with shame, and Zhou Tai didn't know whether to be angry or angry or ashamed to look back at the five hundred people, and when he saw that they were all ashamed, Zhou Tai shouted: "Go, go to find Zhao Ci." ”

When the previous person heard this, he hurriedly grabbed Zhou Tai: "Big brother, Zhao Cike has 20,000 horses by his side." Zhou Tai was also taken aback, and finally remembered the disparity in strength, only to see Zhou Tai's eyes roll, and suddenly said: "Go to receive the reward first, take the hundreds of steel knives and leave Zhao Ci, and then slowly look for his bad luck." The crowd was helpless, and they also felt that they could only be like Zhou Tai said, they were all heroes in the green forest, not as cruel as the ferocious, not as formal as the righteous way, and quite capable of bending and stretching the atmosphere. Like now, seeing the tragic scene of the village, others saw it as nothing more than turning a blind eye, or they were indignant and immediately went to Zhao Ci to theorize, and there were a few people like Zhou Tai.

At the same time that Zhou Tai went south to receive the reward, Chen Lin's wolf cavalry dozens of miles away was also in a non-stop hurry, all cavalry, everyone only brought three days of dry food, first went east, and began to turn south ten miles outside Pingchun City. Suddenly, a team of scouts ran in front: "Young Master, according to inquiring, three hours ago, there was a group of about five or six hundred people, going out of the city to the south, and the purpose is unknown. As soon as Chen Lin heard this, the current Pingchun County is already closed to the city gate, and Zhao Ci is not in the city, only five or six hundred people are going south, what is the so-called matter, even if Zhao Ci adds troops, it will not be just a few hundred people, and it is not to escort grain and grass, why is this. At this time, Chen Ze happened to see Chen Lin puzzled, so he said: "Big brother, last night Qin Taishou's camp was attacked, and after our army came, it was said that hundreds of people had withdrawn first, and Zhong Zhi thought it was this group. ”

As soon as Chen Ze said, Chen Lin woke up, yes, those hundreds of people also took Qin Jie's head, I am afraid that this week, after breaking the Nanyang camp, he rushed back to Pingchun County, and now he is going south to block the Jingzhou soldiers with Zhao Ci. Chen Lin said: "Zhou Jiu's life acted like this, which shows that he must not have expected that our army would be able to continue to march after the defeat, and we would just kill him by surprise." The wolf rider is moving at full speed, making sure to crush the thieves before they discover our whereabouts. After Chen Lin accompanied him in the morning, he had already found that this wolf was riding under the leadership of Chen Ze, and his endurance was far greater than that of the year, so Chen Lin continued to pursue without letting him rest. Sometimes the cavalry was more tired than the infantry, and it was really a physical task to hold the horse's belly tightly on the horse's legs, and at this time the wolf cavalry had already gone through three or four hours of long-distance travel, and if the other cavalry were afraid they should also set up camp.

Only half an hour later, the wolf riding scout in front came to report again, saying that there were traces of people passing by, but I was afraid that it was hundreds of people, and the distance was not far. When Chen Lin heard this, he shouted: "Zhou Jiuming" hurriedly asked Chen Ze to go to the front, in case he fell into another ambush. Chen Ze had just gone for a while, and sure enough, there was a shout. A thousand wolves rode in a row, and there was also a long distance, so at this time, Chen Lin in the back didn't know what was happening in front of him, but just shouted: "Kill." "It doesn't matter who he is, if he dares to block the way, he will be killed. A group of cavalry galloped on horseback, and in an instant they were in front. Chen Lin looked at it under the support of Huang Yan and other guards, and saw that on a slightly open terrain, the wolf rider was surrounding a group of people, and the group of people was about five hundred, and at this time the group was also united together, with spears outside.

A wolf rider ran over and said, "Great young master, the wolf rider has surrounded the anti-thief, and the second young master saw that the anti-thief was in a tight formation, and he didn't dare to attack, and he was fighting with the thief general at this time." As soon as this person finished speaking, another person ran up: "The eldest young master, the second young master and Lin Junhou are fighting the enemy generals, and they are on par with the enemy generals." When Chen Lin heard this, Chen Ze and Lin An fought one, and they were comparable, and he was horrified in his heart, although Chen Ze and Lin An were young, but their martial arts Chen Lin knew that the two of them were even comparable, and the person on the opposite side was only afraid that he was another fierce general, Chen Lin couldn't help but be happy, and hurriedly stepped forward.

I saw that in addition to hundreds of anti-thieves, Chen Ze and Lin An were coming and going with one person opposite, and the fight was fierce. That person was in the posture of a bear and a tiger, and for some reason, Chen Ze and the others dismounted and fought with that person at this time. Chen Lin saw that both sides were unharmed for a while, so he turned around and asked Zhou Cang, a hiking master: "Zhou Cang, how is this person's martial arts?" "Now Zhou Cang is becoming more and more domineering, after many years of "bullying" by Cai Yang and Huang Long, under the horse, even people like Lu Bu who are explosive will be pressed and beaten by Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang's eyes were on fire, and he said with excitement: "Big young master, this person doesn't know how to ride, just talking about this foot battle, but he is not under the second young master and Lin Junhou, at this time, he is just five hundred people behind him, so he can't go all out, and he is on par with the two of them." ”

After hearing this, Chen Lin was even happier in his heart, and he had the intention to recruit this person, so he said loudly to the field: "Stop" After Chen Lin shouted, Zhou Cang's big knife was unloaded from his back with a bang, and he jumped up like a flying horse, aiming at the middle of the three people is a heavy knife, which happened to be cut on the weapons of the three people, Chen Ze and Lin An's weapons were of high quality, and the two of them were just pressed forward by Zhou Cang's big knife. And Zhou Tai was stunned at the same time, and saw that the weapons in his hands were cut into two pieces, and the three of them were startled and hurriedly retreated. When Chen Ze and the others saw that it was Zhou Cang, they were slightly determined, knowing that it was Chen Lin who signaled, so they retreated. Zhou Tai looked at Zhou Cang's big knife stupidly, and then looked at his broken knife, shocked in his heart, Zhou Cang smiled stupidly, and said to Zhou Tai: "A certain young master said to stop." After speaking, he dragged the big knife and retreated behind Chen Lin.

Chen Lin spoke up at this time: "A certain is Chen Lin, the guard of Hanzhong County, Chen Bozhi, a strong man and a good martial artist, I don't know what to call it?" Zhou Tai came back from the shock, and when he saw Chen Lin smiling and humbly to himself, Zhou Tai simply threw away the broken knife and said loudly: "If a certain line does not change its name, it will not change its surname, Jiujiang Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping are also." Zhou Tai said, still with a disdainful look of disdain for high-ranking officials of the Han Dynasty, which in the past usually provoked the anger of others. At this time, Zhou Tai was opposite Chen Lin, Chen Lin saw Zhou Tai like this, and he was also a little resentful in his heart, but his face was unharmed, and he stopped the anger of Chen Ze and others, and said: "It turns out that it is really the famous Zhou Jiu's life, and now the four seas are clear, and all the people have returned to our dynasty, Zhou Zhuang might as well exterminate the ignorant bandits with a certain one, and benefit the people of my Han Dynasty." ”

Zhou Tai saw that Chen Lin actually solicited him to surrender, and sneered in his heart, and said: "Hahaha, what I did was to kill all the corrupt officials and ghosts such as you." This time, even Zhou Cang couldn't help it, and shouted: "Presumptuous" was a terrifying shout, even Chen Lin was startled, Chen Lin turned around and glared at Zhou Cang, and then turned to Zhou Tai and said: "Well said, well said, you have to kill all the corrupt officials and evil ghosts in the world in order to return the health of the people, Zhou Zhuangshi is really a man of temperament." ”

Chen Lin's repeated good face made Zhou Tai a little admired. At this time, Chen Lin continued: "I don't know if Zhou Zhuangshi has heard about Hanzhong, after entering Hanzhong County, he persuaded the farmers to teach Sang, and recruited talents in March, and now everyone in Hanzhong County lives and works in peace and contentment, this is the help of many heroes like Zhou Zhuangshi, and a certain intention to invite Zhou Zhuangshi and a certain way to benefit the common people, presumably this is also the will of hundreds of heroes behind Zhou Zhuangshi." As soon as Chen Lin said, Zhou Taicai remembered the realm of himself and others at this time, more than a thousand cavalry surrounded him, even if he rushed out, he was afraid that there would be no few left. Zhou Tai looked at the five hundred brothers behind him with a painful heart, he didn't know what to choose, the officers and soldiers have always said that it doesn't count, if they surrender, wouldn't they be slaughtered by others, but ...... In short, Zhou Tai's heart was in turmoil.

Chen Lin saw that Zhou Tai obviously intended to move, but why, so Chen Lin opened his mouth and said: "A certain promise to Zhou Zhuangshi, as long as you act according to the law and obey orders, you will not be blamed for the past, and you will be treated equally." Chen Ze hurriedly whispered, "Big brother, Qin Taishou's death." Chen Ze reminded Chen Lin that Qin Jie died at the hands of Zhou Tai. Chen Lin smiled, he didn't respond to Chen Ze's words, but said to Zhou Tai: "Zhao Ci rebelled, attacked the state and conquered the people, and even killed Qin Taishou in Nanyang, I don't know if Zhou Zhuangshi is willing to break Zhao Ci with a certain one and avenge Qin Taishou?" After Chen Lin finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Tai with a smile. Zhou Tai was shocked in his heart, and then looked at Chen Lin's expression, knowing that Chen Lin was excusing himself, Zhou Tai had not been surrounded by officers and soldiers in the past, but every time only a few people were surrounded, and now a full five hundred brothers who lived and died together were here, even if Zhou Tai broke through by himself, then these people couldn't run away, Zhou Tai could see the ability of Chen Lin's cavalry, not to mention that there were many good hands, and Zhou Cang, who carried a big knife, made Zhou Tai unbearable. Zhou Tai thought for a long time, and saw that Chen Lin was still waiting with a smiling face, Zhou Tai suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Lin: "A certain has fallen." ”
