Chapter 16: Burning the Mountains and Forests
In the early morning of the next day, the news that the Hun soldiers and horses had stepped on Chen Liu, finally reached the hands of Cao Ying and Cao Boss.
In fact, this news reached the hands of Cao Boss faster than the news of the return of the Han Emperor to the east. I don't know who the messenger is, it's been nearly a month, and Boss Cao hasn't received the news of the Han Emperor's return to the east. If it weren't for the invasion of the Huns, Boss Cao would not have known about the return of the Han Emperor to the east!
In fact, at this time, Boss Cao was worried about how to kill the 'father-in-law killer' Boss Lu Bulu and run away with Liu Boss. Previously, when Boss Lu attacked Taoqian in Xuzhou, he joined forces with Chen Lu and Zhang Miao who stayed behind, stabbed him in the back and exploded his black chrysanthemum, which made Boss Cao itch with hatred. So, in desperation, he had no choice but to go back and keep his foundation before making plans.
At that time, Boss Cao was almost beaten by Boss Lu and was about to take refuge in Boss Yuan in the north. Because of this, Liu Ranran's reputation was cheapened in vain, so that many people in Xuzhou thought that Liu Ranran had face, and a letter could make the powerful Cao Boss retreat. I really don't know, Boss Cao has to retreat!
As for the 'stroking chrysanthemum and laughing', Boss Cao can't do it! Especially the one who violently attacked his chrysanthemum was the stepfather killer Boss Lu.
And when Boss Cao went back to clean up his father-in-law's killer Boss Lu, Tao Qian actually fell ill, and as a result, he cheapened Liu Ran for nothing, so that he didn't spend a single soldier to get Ruoda Xuzhou. When Boss Lu was defeated by his Boss Cao, he wanted to take care of the tiger in one go, but Liu ran away and actually took in the stepfather killer Boss Lu.
It didn't matter if he took him in, but as a result, Boss Cao was a bit of a dog biting hedgehog and couldn't start, and in one breath, he was directly suppressed in his chest.
In order to get out of this evil breath, he naturally had to think about how to clean up these two shameless guys who hooked up together. And at this time, Boss Cao received an urgent report from Chen Liu-the Huns attacked! Horses step on Chen Liu!
"What? The Huns dare to bully me like this, Cao Ying! Cao Ying directly threw the bamboo slip on the ground, patted the table, his eyes were round, as if he was choosing someone to eat.
At this time, Boss Cao has reached the age of not being confused, with a full beard, thin eyes and thick eyebrows, plus a short figure, his appearance really does not look good. If it weren't for the extreme majesty on his body and the compelling aura of killing, it would be really difficult to see that such a person was actually a prince with heavy troops.
At this time, Mao Jue happened to be on the side, he picked up the bamboo slip on the ground and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord, this is a great joy!" Why the rage? As he spoke, he looked at the messenger who was kneeling on the ground and asked, "This official asked you, and you answered truthfully, the Hun army was really defeated in Hedong and fled in all directions?" Think carefully before answering, answer well, the lord has a reward! ”
"Yes! Yes! It's true! The man nodded seriously and said: "There are many deserters who fled to Chenliu, they all said that the Han Emperor returned to the east, but he was intercepted and killed by Li Guo and the two thieves halfway, General Yang Feng led the Baibo army and the Xiongnu army to fight with the two thieves, but they were calculated, and the result was ......that the Baibo army and the Xiongnu army were defeated."
"Emperor Han returns to the east?" Cao Ying also woke up from his anger at this time.
At the same time, Xun Yu also walked in and said, "Lord, what's the matter with Yu Yu?" ”
"Wen Ruo, come on, you take a look at the urgent report first!" As soon as Cao Ying saw Xun Yu coming, the whole person became even more relaxed. "By the way, Xiaoxian, why did you just say that this is a great joy? Tell me about it! ”
Mao Jue said with a smile: "Lord, today is falling apart, the lord of the country is moving, the people are abandoned, the people are in exile due to famine, the public family has no savings for years, and the people have no will to be stable, so it is difficult to last." The righteous man wins, guards the position with wealth, and the lord should welcome the Son of Heaven to order not to be subordinate! And then the cultivation and planting, livestock and military resources, so that the hegemony can be achieved! ”
Xun Yu also nodded and said, "Lord, Mao Zhizhong's words are very true!" The matter of Xuzhou has been impossible to do in a short period of time, Liu Bei and Lu Bu, one is stationed in Xuzhou, and the other is Tun Xiaopei, which has become a horn. The Lord should first welcome back the Son of Heaven, with orthodoxy, if he falls behind, then the big thing will be over! If Yuan Shao welcomes the Son of Heaven, it will be impossible for the lord to be an enemy of Yuan Shao again! ”
Cao Ying nodded, and finally sighed: "I am really unwilling to let go of that Lu Bu child like this!" If Lu Bu doesn't get rid of it, I can't sleep well! ”
Xun Yu smiled and said, "Why does the lord care so much about this unrighteous child!" The army of the lord is suppressed here, and between Lu Bu Xiaoer and Liu Bei, they will definitely hug together to resist the lord. If the lord withdraws his army, after a long time, how can Lu Bu'er be willing to be subservient? And the lord can send someone to unite with the Xuzhou Shi clan and secretly provoke the discord between the Lu and Liu families, and so on...... Then big things can be expected! ”
"Good! Just according to Wen Ruo's plan! Let's withdraw our troops and welcome the return of the Son of Heaven! ”
………………
Boss Cao is preparing his horses to welcome the Han Emperor on this side, and the real Han Emperor Liu Xiexue on the other side is holding Cai Meimei in his arms at this time, riding a divine horse ("The Legend of the Cave": The land of auspicious clouds in the East. The god horse is nine feet high, and the strands have swirling hairs like the moon; The night light of the moon, the light of the day, the color of the coat changes with the four seasons...... The Queen Mother of the West is taxed in Zhitian, because she eats the grass of Zhitian. The prince of the east abandoned Qingjin, because of it and returned, around the three turns, into the Han Pass, immediately sleepy eyes unaware, called Bujing), led everyone along the stream to swim up, towards the depths of the woods.
If the Huns don't set fire to the forest, they must want to capture them alive, and they can't escape if they don't escape.
Du Xiuer can ride a horse, but Cai Yan can't, so she has to trouble Liu Xie again. And this time, Liu Xie asked her to sit in front of her to facilitate protection, although Cai Yan was a little shy, but she did not refute it. Perhaps, at this time, even if she wants to refute, she is embarrassed to speak! And she said yesterday that she had already experienced a 'close contact' with Liu Xie, and she didn't care about coming again.
Du Xiuer wanted to ride with her own lady, but her riding skills were okay by herself, so she was reluctant to lead people.
Xu Huang still dutifully stayed by Liu Xie's side, and Fa Zheng and Meng Da also rode the horses given to them by Liu Xie and followed behind them. Xu Hu and his four teams of twenty people broke off behind, while Chen Zhi led more than thirty hunters to lay all kinds of traps along the road behind.
Two hours after they left, the Huns caught up on foot, but on the way to the chase, they were again pitted by countless traps. In the end, they learned to be obedient, and since they laid a trap by the stream, I believe that there must be no traps in the stream!
This time, they really tried out, there were indeed no traps in the stream, so the Huns roared and quickly pursued.
But chasing and chasing, it's all night, and I haven't seen a single figure. At this time, they found out that they had been fooled again!
But no, Liu Xie and the others had already led the crowd to turn around at this time and headed southeast.
According to the hunter in the mountains, after two days from this direction, he will be able to safely walk out of the mountain forest. Of course, if you simply get out of the mountains and forests, you can actually go very fast, just out of this mountain forest, you may have to face the iron cavalry of the Hun army, so they can only go straight in the mountains and forests.
But the next day, when the Huns withdrew, a fire ignited the mountains and forests.
For this reason, Liu Xie and others can be said to have been disgraced. Although they had been prepared for a long time, they would dig a hole in the earth at night to prevent fire, and put water to prevent smoke. But when it really faced the invasion of the fire, it was still roasted lightly and smoked not shallowly.
Cai Yan and Du Xiu'er were almost choked to death by the smoke, but they couldn't block all the holes, but if they didn't block them, all that floated in was hot smoke.
"Miss, are we going to die here!" Du Xiu'er covered her mouth and nose, coughed, and said vaguely.
Liu Xie smiled on the side: "Don't worry! If you die, this cave will be your tomb! It's better than exposing the corpse in the wilderness, isn't it! ”
"Bad guys!" Du Xiu'er rolled her eyes at Liu Xie and muttered.
Along the way, what Liu Xie did the most was to tease Du Xiuer, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Du Xiuer didn't know Liu Xie's identity, and saw that Liu Xie had ulterior motives for her young lady, and when the protector was concerned, she naturally didn't have a good face for Liu Xie, even if Liu Xie was their life-saving benefactor.
And Liu Xie is also a cheap bone, the more Du Xiuer has a bad face, the more he likes to tease her. At this time, Liu Xie not only didn't think the little girl was hateful, but felt that this little girl was very kind and real, and it was a pleasure to talk to her! It can be seen that Xu Huang and the others want to laugh, but they are embarrassed to laugh.
Fa Zheng didn't want to leave a bad impression on Liu Xie, and even Meng Da, who wanted to ridicule Liu Xie, was pulled aside by him. And Xu Huang remembered Liu Xie's words of 'don't hinder me from picking up girls', so he also turned a blind eye, although sometimes he also felt that Liu Xie was quite cheap.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Cai Yan coughed lightly, but there were some signs that he couldn't stop, Liu Xie moved to her side and reached out to pat her on the back. This action is a little too intimate for them! Of course, because he had been hugged by Liu Xie before, Cai Yan didn't say much.
What's more, at this time, she couldn't speak, just kept coughing.
