It was early in the morning, and it was quiet under the night, but in the suburbs of Chencang County, the lights were bright, and when you looked around, it was like day.

The suburbs, which should have been extremely quiet, were now full of people, and from time to time there were sounds of conversation on the main road, and the "rustle" of bodies rubbing against blades of grass, and the team seemed to be looking for something.

In the darkness not far from the main road, a small group of people crouched in the overgrown grass, trying to hide their figures. The morning dew soaked their clothes, but these people were unaware, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound.

Not far away, there were still human voices, and it seemed that more people had come here. The people hiding in the grass became more and more anxious, they were not only worried that they would be discovered if they continued like this, but also worried that they would expose themselves if they acted rashly.

"Lord Wang, King Yong's army is nowhere to be seen, I'm afraid that they have escaped from this area, what do you think is good?"

The voices of people on the road gradually subsided, and everyone just breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a voice sounded not far away, which really shocked the people into a cold sweat.

"It's about to dawn, they can't run far, and you lead the men to continue the pursuit in the distance. Remember, the stakes are high, and it is important that they are not allowed to return alive. ”

"Yes!"

After receiving the order, the first person to speak did not hesitate, immediately called the other companions, and chased down the main road. The other person, known as Lord Wang, pondered for a moment and rode towards the county seat of Chencang in the opposite direction.

Hearing the pursuers leaving, the hidden people finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their faces showed the joy of escaping death. But because they were not sure whether the enemy had left, they still did not dare to make the slightest move, and just waited with bated breath.

The wait was always very long, and it felt like a century had passed. Gradually, there was no sound all around, and it seemed that the pursuers had gone away, and in the whole wilderness, only the soft sound of insects squirming from time to time could be heard, which seemed even more lonely and empty.

For the sake of prudence, everyone knelt on the ground and listened to the sound for a long time, and then sat up with confidence.

Through the glimmer of the morning light, you can vaguely see the face of the first person, if Zhang Han sees this scene, he will definitely be so surprised that he can't close his mouth, this person is none other than Zhang Ping, who went to Chen Cangping to rebel.

Zhang Ping can really be said to be extremely embarrassed at this moment, only to see that his iron armor is covered with dirt, and the iron helmet on his head is gone, so he can only maintain the appearance of a cape. His face was covered in blood, and his originally delicate appearance also looked hideous.

As soon as the chasing soldiers left, Zhang Ping sat up suddenly, he didn't care about wiping the blood off his face, but grabbed the collar of the other person next to him, and roared angrily: "Li Yi, what's going on?" You make it clear to me. ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Ping was so excited, he was really stunned by this sudden ambush.

Just yesterday, Li Yi's urgent military information arrived in Xianyang, and his intelligence said that a small group of people in Chencang had launched a mutiny and asked Zhang Han to send troops for reinforcements.

Since it is a small group of people, it will not become a big climate, and after discussing with Han Tan, Shicheng decided to send Zhang Ping to lead a small number of troops to support. They are not worried about this matter, with Li Yi's bullet pressure here, coupled with Zhang Ping's reinforcements, a few civilians must not be able to make any big waves.

But what Zhang Ping didn't expect was that when he came to Chencang after a day's journey, it was not Li Yi who greeted him, but an ambush without warning.

As soon as the battle began, Zhang Ping felt that something was wrong, and he was also disappointed to make a quick decision and retreat without hesitation, so he was able to escape.

In this way, under the pursuit of the enemy, he fled with the remnants of the army for most of the night, and in the middle of the escape, he unexpectedly met Li Yi, who also fled. The two groups of people converged, and they didn't have time to answer, they just tried their best to escape, and it was not until they were temporarily out of danger at this moment that Zhang Ping had the opportunity to question Li Yi.

"Say, what's going on? Hasn't Chen Cang always been run by you, how can there be such a big change now? Zhang Ping couldn't help but be even more annoyed when he saw that Li Yi didn't reply.

Li Yi fled for most of the night, and now he was almost exhausted, and what happened in the past two days made him extremely anxious, and at this moment, hearing Zhang Ping's repeated questions, his face couldn't help but show a look of shame.

He seemed to be in a trance, and he just muttered: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for King Yong, and I'm sorry for everyone, they all blame me for being confused for a while...... I didn't run Chen Cang well, I, I have the king of Yong, only one death ......"

Li Yi spoke in a mess, obviously in an extremely angry mood, and as he spoke, he really pulled out the iron sword on his side and wiped it towards his neck. None of the soldiers on the side expected that Li Yi would be so violent, and for a while, they all exclaimed, but they didn't have time to stop it.

"Bang-"

Zhang Ping drew his sword sideways, and with the strength of drawing the sword, he swung it and blocked Li Yi's saber fiercely, saving Li Yi's life between the lightning and flint.

"Hmph, my eldest brother respects you as a good man, so I entrusted you with a great responsibility. Now that you have lost for a while, if you kill yourself here, how can you be worthy of my eldest brother? ”

"I, I...... Alas, that day, King Yong repeatedly told me to run Chencang for him, and just two days ago, he wrote a letter to summon me back to Xianyang to report on my work. Now that Chen Cang is lost, what face do I have to see King Yong. Li Yi's face was sad and indignant, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground with his head in his hands.

"What! You said Chen Cang was lost? What's going on? I haven't asked you yet, how can a mere rebel have such combat effectiveness, and what is going on in this Chencang County? ”

Rao is Zhang Ping was extremely calm, and he couldn't help but panic at this moment, if he could take Chen Cang from Li Yi's hands, it would definitely not be as simple as a traitor. He faintly felt in his heart that a great conspiracy had shrouded Yongdi.

"Liu Bang, it's Liu Bang!" Li Yi's face was like ashes, and he couldn't help muttering: "It's all because I didn't take precautions, that's why I fell into Liu Bang's big dang, I'm sorry for the king." ”

"Liu Bang?"

Zhang Ping's face also changed color instantly, and he still remembered Han Tan and Shi Cheng's inference when Liu Bang burned down the plank road a few days ago.

At that time, they all thought that Liu Bang was not enterprising and only wanted to live in a corner, but they didn't expect that this was Liu Bang's delaying tactic, and this was the time to really attack. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he smelled a smell of conspiracy.

"No, this matter is very important, you and I can't make the decision, we must notify the king immediately, so that Xianyang can be ready to deal with it." Zhang Ping pondered for a moment and immediately made a decision.

Li Yi showed embarrassment on his face, and hesitated: "But the way back must have been blocked by the enemy, we have no horses or cars, and we can return to Xianyang by walking alone." ”

"Then return to Chencang County and go to get the horse!"

Zhang Ping made a very surprising decision, isn't this self-defeating? However, on the one hand, the enemy would not expect them to dare to turn back, and there should be no defense in Chencang City, but maybe they can succeed.

"This, this is too risky, a little careless, it is the danger of the whole army being wiped out, please think twice about General Zhang."

Li Yi was born as a bandit, and he couldn't help but suffer from gains and losses at this moment, he looked at the group of sergeants behind him, and his face showed a trace of worry.

Zhang Ping saw Li Yi's thoughts, and snorted coldly: "How can there be immortals in the war, the soldiers are shrouded in horse leather, our warriors of Daqin have never flinched, if we die here today, it will also be our supreme glory." ”

He looked around to the left and right, and asked in a low voice, "But does anyone want to go to Chencang with me?" ”

The sergeants responded in unison: "Everything obeys General Zhang's orders." ”

Seeing everyone's performance, Zhang Ping showed a smile on his face, he looked at Li Yi and said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about your life, now you are the only one who knows the changes in Chen Cang best, even if we die here, we must let you escape back to Xianyang, so that we can report to the king and let them plan early." ”

Li Yi looked at Zhang Ping, who was full of resoluteness, and couldn't help but feel a surge of blood in his head, he pointed to heaven and said: "General Zhang is so righteous, how dare Li Yi not serve the dead, if Li Yi has the strength to defeat the soldiers, then teach me to ambush the corpse on the street, and ten thousand people will scold!" ”

"Good! That's it, let's go! ”

Zhang Ping heard Li Yi's assurance, and he didn't want to waste any more time, so he immediately took everyone to Chencang County.

……

At dusk, a war horse galloped towards Xianyang City, and there was a person lying on the horse's back, already dying, all supported by one breath.

When they reached the gate of the city, the speed of the war horse suddenly slowed down, and then with a wail, they fell to the bottom foaming at the mouth. The rider on his back stumbled and fell off his horse.

"Who are you?"

The soldiers standing guard at the gate of the city hurriedly greeted him and helped him up.

The man was injured all over his body, but he still clenched his teeth and persisted, his voice was low and trembling: "I am a subordinate of King Yong...... Li Yi, quickly return to the king, Chen Cang...... Chen Cangye has fallen, and General Zhang Ping has also ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, Li Yi passed out and lost consciousness completely.
