Chapter 17: Xuande, why are you here?

Under the city of Zhongmu, "Yu Jun Division, Liu County ordered the troops to retreat." Lou Gui was nervously watching the battle in the distance, when suddenly a sergeant rushed over to report back, Lou Gui was stunned for a moment: "Liu County Order? Which Liu County Order? Oh, Liu Xuande, ran away? Ignore him. I don't know why, after Hu Zhen led his troops to besiege Cheng Pu, he saw that Lou Gui was on the high ground not far away, Hu Zhen didn't pay attention to Lou Gui, and only sent a thousand men and horses to guard against Lou Gui, so he attacked Cheng Pu wholeheartedly. The fire in Zhongmu City was crackling, Sun Jian was still nowhere to be seen, Huang Gai had already rushed in to look for it, and only Cheng Pu and Zu Mao led more than 10,000 people at the city gate to block it with all their might. But Hu Zhen had almost 30,000 troops to attack Sun Jian's army from the north and south, and Cheng Pu and the two were in danger for a while, but Sun Jian did not come out, and the two of them must not retreat half a step.

At this time, the situation in Zhongmu City was also in danger, and the fire put Sun Jian and thousands of troops* between the two streets, surrounded by fierce fires, Sun Jian couldn't enter and leave left and right, and sighed to the sky: "Heaven wants to die." At this moment, I heard a shout from the other side of a row of burning fires: "Lord, but Lord, Gai Laiye." Suddenly, there was another loud bang, boom, and I saw that the row of burning houses collapsed with a bang, and rushed out dozens of sergeants holding huge trees, and fell to the ground with a clatter, and then ran out of a fierce general, it was Huang Gai. It turned out that after Huang Gai entered the city, he followed the noisy sound to find it, and happened to hear Sun Jian shouting, so Huang Gai ordered dozens of soldiers to ignore the fierce fire and use giant trees to crash into the house, and then he saw Sun Jian.

Sun Jian saw Huang Gai in despair, his mood improved in vain, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly came up and put his hands on Huang Gai's shoulder. Huang Gai hurriedly shouted: "Lord, the matter is urgent, get out of the city quickly." "Thousands of troops were surrounded on the street, seeing that the fire was about to pounce, but at this time Huang Gai appeared to rescue, although Huang Gai hit the opening is also a heat wave, but it is better than roasting to death. Sun Jian and Huang Gai took the lead and rushed out quickly, and thousands of troops rushed out behind them. Huang Gai said to Sun Jian as he ran: "Lord, I have waited for the plan, now nearly 30,000 troops outside the city are besieging our army, and Yichang and Darong are resisting, so as not to be blocked by the enemy army The city gate." ”

Sun Jian already knew about the plan, but he didn't expect that Hu Zhen would have so many soldiers and horses to encircle and suppress him, and when he heard that Cheng Pu and Zumao were fine, Sun Jian hurriedly asked: "What about Uncle Zi, how is the military advisor?" When Huang Gai entered the city, where did he know how Lou Gui was far away outside the city, Sun Jian couldn't help but feel anxious. Finally ran to the city gate, a group of people were embarrassed, but they finally dragged weapons in their hands, this is still Sun Jian repeatedly ordered not to abandon weapons when fleeing from the sea of fire, because Sun Jian knew very well that outside the city gate, the war was far from over.

Huang Gai looked back and saw that the burning county town had already spread to this side, and seeing that it was about to affect the city gate, Huang Gai shouted at the wall: "The lord is here, and the city wall is coming down quickly." If you don't come down, it is estimated that it will be roasted by fire, so Sun Jian sorted out the army at the city gate, and counted the number of people, only 4,000 people. Sun Jian sighed in his heart, and then his pride rose again, the ancient ingot knife was raised, and he took over a war horse again, and when he entered the city, he rode the horse that was already so frightened by the fierce fire that he couldn't control it, and ran away. Sun Jian was on the horse: "All the sergeants, you have come with a certain since Changsha, and joined our army in Nanyang because of the retrograde behavior of Dong thieves, we pursue the etiquette and righteousness of the Han Dynasty, how can we be afraid of the rebels." Today, a certain Sun Wentai killed the enemy with all the soldiers and promoted my heroic style. Huang Gai took the lead in shouting: "Huha, huha, huha" three times, and the whole army was moved by Sun Jian's resolute expression, all of them were excited and high-spirited.

Cheng Pu and Zumao seemed to sense the commotion at the city gate, and hurriedly sent people to look back, but saw a dark army rushing out of the city gate, only to be burned by the fire. The first two generals were Sun Jian and Huang Gai, and Cheng Pu was overjoyed, hurriedly boosted morale, and shouted: "The lord is here, our army will win." At this time, Sun Jian's soldiers, who were being bullied enough by Hu Zhen's army, looked back and saw their lord's banner flying from a distance, and their morale was instantly boosted, and they killed Hu Zhen's army who rushed into the formation and fled in all directions.

Lou Gui in the distance also saw Sun Jian's banner, and saw the familiar figure, he couldn't help but feel calm, breathed a sigh of relief, and calmed down to take a serious look at the situation in front of him. I saw that Hu Zhen's 30,000 army had been divided into two divisions, one south and one north, all of which were put into battle at this time, Cheng Pu and others were quite difficult to support, with Sun Jian's joining, thousands of troops were not the main thing, more importantly, Sun Jian came back, and what he brought back was the morale of the army. Lou Gui looked at the 1,000 Hu Zhen army who were strictly guarding himself, and a plan rose in his heart, and he hurriedly called a Sima, bowed his head and said a call to Sima, the Sima raised his head and looked at Lou Gui in horror: "Military advisor, this, instead of saving the lord, but retreating?" Lou Gui saw that Sima didn't understand him, and said again, only to see this Sima Chong Lou Gui with a happy face and said: "Military advisor, the last general has offended and misunderstood the military advisor." Lou Gui didn't have time to talk to him so much, and with a wave of his hand, Sima ran down quickly. Lou Gui turned to look at Hu Zhenjun, who was blocking him from saving Sun Jian, called a team of about fifty people, and said to the commander: "You must rush over no matter what, turn the lord, inform the lord of so-and-so's intentions, and let the lord retreat here." Lou Gui pointed to a place on the map and gave an order.

Liu Bei was very unwilling to go, very reluctant, and the two generals who were like brothers did not agree to lead their troops to leave at this time, but Liu Bei had to go, Sun Jian was finished, Hu Zhen had at least 30,000 horses to work, and Sun Jian was trapped in the city of fire, life and death were unknown, he Liu Bei could not accompany Sun Jian to die here, and his mission of the Han clan was not completed. So Liu Bei left, where to go, I don't know, go north, at this time Hu Zhen gathered heavy troops to encircle and suppress Sun Jian, indicating that the two cities of Xingyang and Chenggao in the rear must be empty. Cao * Liu Bei was embarrassed to go, Chen Lin, Liu Bei wanted to persuade Chen Lin to lead his troops to attack Chenggao with him, maybe he could capture it, wouldn't it be a great achievement. Chen Lin is only twenty miles in the north at most, and if he is faster, he may be able to capture Chenggao County tonight, so Liu Bei will not drag the mud and water.

Chen Lin didn't dare to be careless at this time, when Li Meng Wang Fang saw that Chen Lin was actually going to Zhongmu, he followed a two-mile journey and withdrew, Chen Lin didn't care where they retreated, even if they rushed to the trapped camp, Chen Lin believed that now they would definitely not be able to catch up with the trapped camp. So Chen Lin cautiously came to Zhongmu, from north to south, and suddenly the scout in front said that he had found traces of Sun Jian's army, Chen Lin was very strange, this place is still quite far from Zhongmu, how could Sun Jian's army be here, and where did the enemy army found before go? Chen Lin hurriedly rushed to the front and shouted, "Where is it?" How could the Bundai be here? After a while, Chen Lin saw that it was naturally not Sun Jian, but Han Dang.

Chen Lin asked in surprise, "General Han, how can you be here?" So Han Dang said about the suffering of the three thousand Changsha troops before, but he didn't expect that when Han Dang arrived at the scene, the battle was over, and there was really no one left of the three thousand army. Han Dang didn't have time to hurt his spirits, and waved his army to the north again, because didn't the scout say that this army was going to Chen Lin before, but now he didn't meet it when he came from Zhongmu, which means that he really went to Chen Lin. But Han Dang didn't expect to meet Chen Lin here, seeing that Chen Lin's army was missing by thousands, after answering Chen Lin, Han Dang asked: "Chen Taishou, I don't know what happened in the north, the Hanzhong army looks like this?" Chen Lin looked bitter and said: "When I met most of the Dong army, things were extremely strange, and I was worried that Zhongmu would change, so I got rid of the enemy and slowly moved closer to Zhongmu, not wanting the enemy not to pursue it." Chen Lin didn't know that at this time, Han Dang saw that Chen Lin was missing thousands of troops, and thought that Chen Lin was defeated, but in fact, the few people Han Dang saw were just trapped in the camp, and when they collided with Li Meng, Hanzhong did not lose much.

Chen Lin really guessed right, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was worried that Zhongmu would change, and Zhongmu chased Sun Jian's scout from the direction of Zhongmu, and said loudly to Han Dang: "General Han, quickly return to rescue Zhongmu, our army is in the plan, and the lord is deep in Zhongmu City, and he has been attacked by enemy fire." Han Dang and Chen Lin were both shocked, and hurriedly asked the scouts, and learned that Hu Zhen still had 30,000 horses in Zhongmu, and planned to plot Sun Jian, Chen Lin was even more affirmative, and said: "It must be Dong Thief's increase in the three counties of Xingyang, and I have all been fooled." ”

Regardless of whether the plan is in the plan or not, Sun Jian is in danger, Han Dang must be rescued, Han Dang looked at Chen Lin, Chen Lin immediately said: "A certain and Wentai see each other as before, and they are both begging for Dong Allied Army, how can they not be saved, my Han Zhongjun and General Han will go together to rescue Wentai." Han Dang was moved and shouted Chen Lin Renyi. So the two places merged together, and hurriedly rushed back, halfway through Jia Xu reminded Chen Lin again and again, "Lord, the 10,000 enemy troops that General Han said are missing, isn't it an ambush waiting for our army to rescue Sun Taishou, Lord beware." As soon as Han Dang heard the ambush, he remembered the three thousand Sun Jianjun who had been wiped out silently before, and hurriedly stopped Chen Lin and said: "Chen Taishou, what Lord Jia said is that it is important to rescue my lord, but if we are ambushed in a hurry, it will be useless." Chen Lin secretly applauded Han Dang's calmness, so the number of scouts doubled and was released.

Sure enough, after a short time, the scouts reported that a force of about a few hundred men was coming towards our army. Chen Lin is strange, hundreds of troops from Zhongmu? He Han Dang said: "Could it be that Wentai was defeated, but this is a soldier who fled?" "But when I think about it, even if Sun Jian's soldiers flee in rout, they should not have come north, but to the east, fleeing the Allied camp. Suddenly, it was reported that the incoming army was the banner of the righteous army, as if it was the previous Liu County order.

Liu Bei? This time, even Jia Xu didn't understand. So Chen Lin did not hesitate to wave his army and rush over, Liu Bei was not afraid, Liu Bei obviously also noticed that there was a large army rushing over. Chen Lin was in the front row of the army, and at first glance, it turned out to be Liu Bei, Chen Lin thought about it just now that Sun Jian scout said that Sun Jian was now in danger, and Liu Bei actually appeared here, without thinking about it, he knew that Liu Bei must have escaped. Chen Lin, who was angry, shouted loudly: "Xuande, why are you here? ”

Liu Bei was also taken aback, hearing Chen Lin shouting like this, obviously with angry scolding, how Liu Bei would respond, who knows.
