Volume 2: Sili Lieutenant's Department Chapter 136: Besieged
"What!"
Hearing that Li Su and Xu Rong had led their men and horses to attack the Xiliang Army in Shaanxi County, Zhao Xue's face couldn't help but darken when she heard it, and she stood up. Speaking of which, Li Su and Xu Rong did not inform Zhao Xue when they went to attack the Xiliang army, and Zhao Xue heard it from Pang De after they went. You must know that although they are walking with the court, they are not in the same place when they stay.
The reason for this has to start from the last time Pound took away thirty horsemen to save Cai Wenji. You must know that at that time, Li Su was unwilling to offend the Hun cavalry because of a Han girl, so he kept his troops still. In this matter, Pang De and his Xiliang 30 cavalry supported Zhao Xue, repelled the Hun cavalry, and rescued Cai Wenji. Although this matter has passed, because of Li Su's weakness, he and his subordinates were ridiculed by the Xiliang Thirty Iron Cavalry led by Pang De. Li Su's subordinates were also ashamed to talk about this matter, so they didn't have the face to argue with the other party, and they were not allowed to sprinkle their disgust and anger on Li Su, and they sneered at Li Su openly and secretly. Although no one dared to accuse him clearly, Li Su could sense it to some extent. For this matter, Li Su's secret competition with Xiliang Pang De was fierce. For this reason, the two strokes gradually dispersed, and the stops were not together.
Thinking about it, Pang De was instructed by Ma Chao's sister Ma Yunlu to protect Zhao Xue and hand over Zhao Xue safely to Chen Nuo, so Zhao Xue naturally wanted to follow Pang De together. Although Zhao Xue didn't want to see that this matter affected the two families, she also knew that this was a matter of face, and if she forced the two families to go together, it would inevitably be embarrassing for the two to go, so Zhao Xue didn't say anything about this matter, only took Cai Wenji and Chen Nuo's parents to stay at Xiliang Pound. It was only because the place of stay was still a few miles away from Li Su's Bentun, so they waited until Li Su and the others left suddenly, and they got the news a few hours after that.
Zhao Xue knew about this from Pang De's mouth, and heard Pang De talk about the chaotic situation under the Xiliang Army, and also knew that Li Su was going to take advantage of the fire to rob. She secretly calculated in her heart, knowing that this matter was too risky, and she couldn't bear some heart. Although Li Su has nothing to do with whether she is dead or alive, but because of Li Su's mission, she has to care about his safety. After all, Li Su's mission was not only to convey the will of the imperial court to disband the Xiliang soldiers and horses, but also to make a wish for Chen Nuo's official position.
Although Li Su has kept his official position secret and not revealed, however, for Zhao Xue, this is a good thing after all, no matter what kind of official position the court wants to reward her eldest brother, how much is the imperial court's seal, it is relatively convincing. Since it is a good thing, it has not been conveyed to her eldest brother Chen Nuo for a while, can Zhao Xueyan see that Li Su is in trouble? What's more, he had to rely on Li Su's protection along the way, and he really couldn't see anything wrong with him.
At that moment, after Zhao Xue heard Pang De's words, she immediately pondered. Now that Li Su and the others have already set off, it is too late to stop them, and it seems that they have to take this trip by themselves, so as not to let Li Su get into trouble and not come out. After getting the news, she thought about it a little and decided on a strategy. She told Pang De some reason, and analyzed it with Pang De, saying that Li Su must be in danger here, and hoped that he could help and go with her to save Li Su. That Pang De had already promised Ma Yunlu in advance to protect Zhao Xue, and he would not leave for a moment, although he knew that it was very dangerous to go, but it was not easy to refuse, so he immediately agreed and said to Zhao Xue: "Since this matter must go, then I will go with the girl." ”
Zhao Xue heard that Pang De agreed, and she also thanked her again and again. It's just that Cai Wenji and Chen Nuo's parents naturally can't be brought to save people, so they have to make arrangements for one or two. At Zhao Xue's request, let Pang De send ten horsemen to stay here to protect Cai Wenji and others, and she and Pang De took the remaining twenty horsemen all the way to see the Xiliang Army Bentun in Shaanxi County. Not to mention that.
Speaking of Li Su's side, he rushed all the way before, and it was smooth sailing, thinking that this group of Xiliang people was just Erer, so he didn't take it to heart, and put down his means to fight. Only where did he expect that it was when they were proud that they also touched the brows of Xiliang people. Speaking of which, Jia Xu assisted Zhang Xiu in rectifying the Xiliang people, after all, it has not yet reached the point of responding to all calls, and if there is no external force to push each other, it is not enough for this group of Xiliang people to obey the call of Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu. However, it was precisely because of the killing of Li Su and others that it immediately played this role, allowing those Xiliang people who were originally hesitant to quickly move closer to them, so that Zhang Xiu and others successfully accepted them to their side.
And this group of Xiliang people, because of Zhang Xiu's 'bewitchment', made them know that if they no longer pick up weapons to fight, and no longer join forces, there is only one way to die. In the face of such a grim situation, this group of Xiliang people who are like a plate of scattered sand, even if they have ideas, they can only fight to the death. So, the urgency of the situation forced them to stand together, pick up the weapons in their hands, and face the difficulties in front of them together. Therefore, Zhang Xiu only needs to tell them that the Xiliang people are coming, and they must be punished as much as possible, and in order to defend their right to life, they must also pick up weapons to fight Li Su and them.
So to put it mildly, Li Su's reckless killing did Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu a great favor invisibly, so that they didn't have to waste more lips and tongues for this. Now, they were instigated by Zhang Xiu, and they immediately washed out like the water of a broken embankment, directly killing Li Su in a dark place. Li Su's side, under the sudden turn of the situation, was also dumbfounded. Seeing that the people around him were suddenly defeated, he couldn't believe it at first, but when he saw the fire dancing in front of him and the roar in his ears, he was immediately frightened. At this time, Xu Rong shouted wildly near the left, only asking him to retreat quickly. In fact, where is the need for Xu Rong to remind Li Su that the momentum of Xiliang is already unstoppable, so he quickly turned the horse's head and took the lead in fleeing behind.
Only he ran fast, and the pursuers behind him were also in a hurry, to the point of hoarseness, and his momentum was boiling like soup, and he couldn't stop it at all. Behind Li Su, those who couldn't run had already been overwhelmed by the tumbling flow of people, and the wails were everywhere. Seeing Xu Rong coming with arrows, Li Su was also nervous, and scolded him again and again: "What the hell is going on? How can thieves come to us with big shares? Why, Xu Taishou, how did you also eat a thief's arrow? So careless? ”
Li Su's words were full of reproach, Xu Rong was naturally unhappy when he heard it, his nose snorted coldly, and he shouted: "How do I know what's going on?" I remember reminding the general when I came, telling the general to be careful in everything and guard against Jia Xu and others. It seems that although Niu Fu is gone, Jia Xu will also be in the army, and I am afraid that I am just following the path of a thief. The general didn't notice this matter and came rashly, how can you blame me? I was hit by an arrow, it was my carelessness, and it had nothing to do with the general, why should the general be so anxious at this time? ”
Speaking of this matter, Li Su was at a loss first, but he didn't listen to the persuasion so he rashly killed him, and it was really wrong to blame Xu Ronglai for no reason at this time. He was refuted by Xu Rong like this, his face turned red, and he couldn't say anything, but he just said again and again: "It's important to escape, why should you pursue anything else!" Li Su said, running forward non-stop. Behind him, at this time, in addition to the hundreds of centaurs led by Xu Rong, there were also dozens of riders around him, seeing that there was an overwhelming Xiliang people behind him, if he didn't run faster and was caught up by the Xiliang people, he was afraid that with the momentum of the Xiliang people at this time, he would also want to eat them all alive, and where else to care.
That Xu Rong was only nervous about this life, and he didn't care about anything else, so he just took the people and horses to gather together with Li Su and galloped forward hard. Speaking of which, the momentum of the Xiliang people is not small, if it weren't for the fact that there were still Li Su's people who had not escaped behind, and there were hundreds of people resisting behind, it would be impossible for Li Su and the others to run back calmly.
It's just that when they ran, their morale was all gone, and at this time, they still wanted to count on others to fight hard for him, which was completely a dream. Behind Li Su, the broken men and horses, after learning that the general had run away, also had no intention of fighting again, plus Xiliang's momentum was too brave, how could they easily resist it. At this time, Li Su's guards were like a rotten wall, and they were pushed by the Xiliang people in unison, and they were immediately pushed down and fell. 、
Once the people blocking behind dissipated, Li Su ran in front and immediately felt a great pressure. Behind that, the Xiliang people roared wildly, one higher than the other, like wolf dogs, chasing after them, but they refused to let them go. In this way, the soldiers who could be used to resist behind Li Su fell one after another, and those who couldn't run were trampled on the spot, and those who escaped with Li Su and Xu Rong were not Erer.
"Kill Chang'an, kill the traitor, and avenge Taishi Dong!"
"Kill Chang'an, kill the traitor, and avenge Taishi Dong!" ……
The shouts in the back never stopped, and Li Su was so big that he was two heads and two big, and the blood on his forehead was mixed with beads of sweat slowly, and even the palms of his hands were a handful of sweat stains. He could feel that he had rushed out all the way, and he didn't know how many more cuts there were on his body, and his own blood and the blood of the thief were blurred into something, and even his tired body was already unbearable for this kind of tart, only a heavy fatigue and despair. Seeing the men and horses constantly chasing him, he shivered inwardly, and sometimes almost forgot that he wanted to run. However, a desire to live strongly drove him, making him constantly desire to run away.
"Fuck, these guys are crazy!"
Facing the Xiliang people who were in hot pursuit, Li Su scolded angrily. But if he wanted to retreat from the enemy with his scolding, he really underestimated the fighting spirit of the Xiliang Army. Xiliang Army, in order for them to survive, they have to put each other to death. Now that the slogan of 'killing Chang'an' has been shouted. The goal has been set, so what can stop them? Kill, kill, kill! Nothing more than that. In the face of the frenzied slaughter of the Xiliang people, their hoarse shouts, their red eyes, and their gaping mouths, it was no wonder that Li Su would call them crazy.
There is only a madman, who can do everything he is determined to do in order to survive. At this moment, Li Su felt regret, and suddenly realized that what he had done was simply a very stupid move. Now this move, not only did he not benefit a lot and get greater credit, but because of the madness of the Xiliang people, he felt the power of anger. This kind of anger that can destroy everything makes him feel a great threat, even a shroud of death.
If he continues like this, I'm afraid he will lose his life here today. Li Su could even feel that there was a cold and piercing aura in his neck. He shuddered, then looked ahead, and then, in utter despair, a group of men and horses rushed out of the spurs in front of him, and he was about to block their path.
Li Su exclaimed dumbly, and said to the people behind him again and again: "Turn fast, turn quickly!" In one breath, they rushed to the side again, thinking of throwing away the men and horses that had been killed in the slash. And yet—
However, Xu Rong exclaimed in surprise at the right time, and said to Li Su: "The thief has come up, it's too late to escape!" The general will go first, and I will come to the palace! "Indeed, the group of Xiliang people who intercepted the road from the front did run too fast, cutting off their heads like a sharp blade, as fast as an electric sweep, blocking their way head-on. Even if Li Su wanted to move to the side at this time, he was afraid that it would be too late. That Xu Rong had been on the battlefield for a long time, and he quickly made a judgment on the situation in front of him, knowing that it was too late, in order to protect Li Su, the 'right envoy', he could only quickly divide his troops and explain to Li Su, and then led dozens of men and horses to block it.
When Li Su saw that Xu Rong had divided his troops and left, he saw that the situation was tense here, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, so he hurriedly pulled the horses. With the rest of the people, they quickly looked to the side and fled. The pursuers in the oblique stab were blocked by Xu Rong, and even the pursuers behind him had already thrown off the way, and Li Su looked at the road ahead. I couldn't help but exhale lightly. Come to think of it, as long as you refuel and run for a ride, you will definitely be able to get rid of Xiliang's pursuers. He didn't dare to delay here, and hurriedly led his men and horses to continue to flee.
It's just that his idea is okay, but the situation is not as he expected. You must know that the reason why the Xiliang army is stationed in Shaanxi County is really because the terrain here is steep, like a throat that controls the roads inside and outside the Guan, and it is also a battleground for soldiers. The situation here is complicated, where can Li Su expect it when he first comes, he is so reckless and reckless in a panic, but he accidentally hit the path of the Xiliang people, and was blocked by a group of Xiliang people who killed from the side.
"Kill!"
"Kill Chang'an, kill the traitor, and avenge Taishi Dong!"
"Kill Chang'an, kill the traitor, and avenge Taishi Dong!" ……
The smoke and dust burst out, and the shouts of killing suddenly came from the front, which made Li Su's men and horses, who rushed up rashly, crash head-on, and they were disgraced.
"Yikes!"
Li Su's ride was not far from the Xiliang people who rushed up, and at this time, he couldn't move forward or retreat, so he couldn't let out an exclamation. He was stunned, glanced at the stabbing hole, and hurriedly beat the horse, pulled the reins violently, and gave an order, thinking of flashing by. Only this time, he collided head-on with Xiliang, and where did he have time to dodge, he was caught up by Xiliang and slashed to death. That Li Su still wanted to fight hard, but he pitifully saw that Xiliang's soldiers and horses were overwhelming, and there were more and more people behind him, and even Xu Rong's group, who had just divided his troops out, had been drowned by the stabbing team, but he was afraid that it was already more than lucky. In this case, he has blocked troops in front of him and chased the enemy behind, even if he has fighting spirit, he has already been frightened.
He could see the desperate faces behind him, and the pair of desperate looks on their faces. How can the panicked centaurs now count on them to defeat the enemy with them? And now, in the face of chaos and despair, Li Su is carrying the horse, turning left and right, but he can't make an opinion for a while, and he doesn't know what to do.
Looking at the dim sky above his head, Li Su could no longer feel any hope of life.
"Could it be that I, Li Su, will die here today?" Strong unwillingness, strong unwillingness, strong unwillingness! However, when you are unwilling and unable to bear the pressure of reality, you can only sigh helplessly in vain. He tightened the blade in his hand, looking at the bloody knife, he suddenly felt that maybe at this time, only the knife in his hand was his final destination.
With the respect of an 'angel', he must not fall into the hands of this group of Xiliang people, otherwise with the angry faces of the Xiliang people in front of him, let them deal with him, and I don't know how many pieces he will be dismantled! However, now that he is dead, is he left to die? Perhaps, the soldiers around him still wanted to beg for mercy from the Xiliang people, but the butcher's knife of the Xiliang people never put down, and they were raised one by one and slaughtered mercilessly.
Speaking of which, Li Su was originally from Bingzhou, and he was a fellow villager with Lu Bu, and he also led the Bingzhou army. When the Bingzhou Army was in Dong Zhuo's lifetime, it served Dong Zhuo together with the Xiliang Army. You must know that when Dong Zhuo was alive, there was discord between the Xiliang army and the Bingzhou army, which caused the trouble that Lu Bu's Bingzhou cavalry and Hu Zhen's Xiliang cavalry sent troops, and in the end, because the contradictions between the two families could not be healed, so that the war was not fought, but his two families fought with each other first. After Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang Army completely lost its position and was replaced by the Bingzhou Army led by Lu Bu. It is no wonder that in dealing with Xiliang affairs, although Li Su and others were all Dong Zhuo's subordinates before, they were reused by the imperial court because of their different factions. Because of this, his two families have been so entangled in killing for their new and old hatreds, and they will not die.
Faced with the situation in front of him, Li Su also knew that it was useless to resist, so he turned his heart sideways, and wanted to end himself with a death, so as not to be humiliated by what Xi Liang had gained. It's just that the blade in his hand was just about to be raised, and he didn't want the smoke and dust in front of him, and a group of men and horses suddenly entered, penetrating through the Xiliang army formation, and broke a hole in the fence that was originally surrounded like an iron bucket.
