The night is deep, but the banks of the Lianshui River are full of traffic and crowds.

A long fiery dragon stretched from south to north, stretching into the depths of darkness, with no end in sight in front and no end in sight. If you look at it from a distance, you won't notice anything, but if you look closely, you will definitely be taken aback by the momentum of the team.

There are the most old and weak women and children in the team, these people are not physically strong, and there are many things, even in the daytime, they can't get up quickly. But at this moment, everyone gritted their teeth, looked at the unfathomable darkness ahead with firm eyes, as if they were attracted by something there, and walked forward in silence.

Echoing under the light of the stars and moon, except for the chirping of cows, horses and livestock, and the sound of wheels, only the rustling of footsteps continued.

The fire dragon seemed to move slowly, but those who really knew and knew the soldiers certainly didn't think so. Since the end of the battle three days ago and the overnight departure, the huge contingent has advanced more than 100 miles, and is advancing at an average speed of about 40 miles a day.

This speed may seem insignificant, but if you consider that the team is composed of 300,000 people who support the old and the young, you should know what an amazing miracle it is.

The huge queue stretched for dozens of miles, the forward had already passed Zhouyangyi, and the rear team had not yet arrived in Wenxi City. In order to keep the team in order and arrange the itinerary of each team, Han Xian and Yang Feng, who were in charge of organizing the work, lost a lot of weight in a few days.

Of course, others were not idle, such as Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong who stayed behind the team.

The last Hokage swayed away, and the grass on the side of the road suddenly shook, and a head poked out.

Pan Zhang spit out the blades of grass in his mouth, and complained very dissatisfied: "Hey, Yuan Zhi can really make people call, and he doesn't even have a celebration banquet." Just drive people on the road and let us break off...... Speaking of which, he is not very reliable in doing things, why is he not reliable? It's not simple, it's him when he's in the limelight, and it's us who sell coolies, what kind of truth is this? ”

His complaint is not unreasonable, when he was digging a pit in Dongshan, Xu Shu was in the middle of Anyi City. Delicious and delicious; When he was trapping people everywhere in the jungle, Xu Shu casually used a few small tricks to calculate the two idiots Li Dao and Guo Tai; After the pit was finished, he worked hard to meet with Shou En, and together he caught cattle and horses. Started to be a groom.

In the end, Xu Shu enjoyed the glory after the big victory and was sought after by everyone, who remembered him as an unsung hero?

It's the same person, why is the gap so big?

There was also a slight shake in the canopy above his head, and Ma Zhong hung his legs on the branches and rolled down. Hanging there like a bat, swaying around, he said disapprehantly: "Didn't he announce in public that the first credit is yours?" What else do you have to complain about? ”

Ma Zhong has a bit of a hermit's style. If it weren't for the carelessness of making friends, he might not have been out at all, but he would have been his woodcutter in the mountains.

During this battle, he investigated the transactions between Guo Tai and the Huns. Determine the time and find the place. Then it was necessary to reconnoiter the movements of the Huns, and by the way, several herds of bison were found. The workload and credit are not smaller than anyone else, but he doesn't fight for anything, and the contrast with Pan Zhang is very stark.

"Bah, credit is credit, scenery is scenery!" Pan Zhang spit out a few mouthfuls, spit out the remaining grass juice in his mouth, and said with hatred: "I said Shouen, as a general of the hussar army, I am Pan Zhang's confidant, how much are you self-motivated?" ”

"But I still don't think it's any different." Pan Zhang's excitement is obviously playing the piano to the cow, and Ma Zhong is still the same.

"You, ......" sighed to the cow, with Pan Zhang's rap, he was still a little speechless, he simply no longer tried to persuade his friends, but said lyrically: "Save the danger, destroy the strong enemy, and then appear in front of everyone like this, accept the cheers of tens of millions of people, what kind of feeling is that!" If three days ago, hundreds of thousands of people called me Pan Zhang's name together......"

"Then you're dead." Ma Zhong Leng Ding continued, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he made a big fuss: "Gong Gao Zhen Lord, when you return to Qingzhou, you will wait to be cooked by rabbits and dead dogs." ”

"Cook your head, you crow's mouth!" Pan Zhang was furious, kicked on the trunk of the tree, and used great force, the poplar trees that had grown for decades shook all over the place, and the branches and leaves fell countless times, but Ma Zhong dangled around, but he didn't mean to fall.

"Who are the rabbits and dead dogs? It's all heroes! Who is our father-in-law? That's the proud Taishan little overlord! Will he do such a tasteless thing as a rabbit and a dead dog? Can you? Can you? Can you? ”

Ma Zhong replied coldly: "Who knows." ”

"You dead crow, even the lord dares to make it up, Lao Tzu doesn't clean you up well, you will have to cause trouble because of this mouth in the future!" Pan Zhang became more and more angry, so he simply picked himself up, exposed his arms and rolled up his sleeves, looking at the posture, he had the meaning of being rough if he didn't agree.

It's just that his last sentence is a little unconscious, Ma Zhong is usually a stuffy gourd, whoever causes trouble with his mouth can't take his turn, but Pan Zhang himself is very dangerous.

Ma Zhong didn't correct his friend's meaning, he said expressionlessly: "Now he is the overlord, he will be the hero in the future, and then he will ...... Didn't you hear that the day before yesterday? Purple air comes from the east, and the sun rises in the east. ”

Pan Zhang said disapprerovingly: "What is that?" Qin lost his deer, the world is chased, only the virtuous live, my lord is so wise and martial, what's the big deal about being an emperor in the future? When today's son is Dong Zhuo's puppet, the first emperor made the world chaotic, and the lord loves the people like a son, why is he not better than them? ”

Ma Zhong sighed and said: "It doesn't matter if you can be the emperor or not, the problem is that if you become an emperor, the lord is no longer the lord." ”

"What do you mean?" Pan Zhang didn't understand.

"If you are the Son of Heaven, you have to use the Emperor's Heart Technique under your rule. As soon as the emperor's mind is used, you will be unlucky; No, the lord can't suppress others, and there will always be people who will use conspiracy or something else to challenge him and rebel. At that time, Gaozu used the emperor's mental technique, so Han Xin and Yingbu were unlucky one after another, and Xiang Yu refused to use it, and as a result, everyone betrayed his relatives and was besieged by the heroes. ”

Ma Zhong said a lot in one breath, and as a result, he calmed down the chattering Pan Zhang.

"It seems to make some sense for you to say that," Pan Zhang took off his leather helmet with his left hand, scratched his head with his right hand, and said to himself in distress: "But." Isn't fighting the world like fighting a war, recruiting talents to govern when we win, and then fighting and winning again when we have money and food? How can there be such a complicated reason? I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out. ”

"If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, in short, just don't be in the limelight." Ma Zhong admonished earnestly.

"I ......" Pan Zhang subconsciously was about to agree, but suddenly came to his senses, he raised his hand and pointed at Ma Zhong, and scolded: "You are boring." What are you talking about? Why did you get around this topic? Whether the lord is the emperor or not, what does it have to do with me? Am I guilty of worrying about this? Besides, didn't Yuan Zhi say it? You can ask the lord about this in person. ”

"Do you dare?" Ma Zhong pouted.

"What's not ......" The words came to his lips, and Pan Zhang swallowed them back. He really didn't dare, he was no older than Wang Yu, who had experienced a hundred battles and held thousands of troops in his hands, and that momentum was so overwhelming that he didn't dare to say a word, how could he dare to ask such a sensitive question in person?

But this didn't bother him, and he saw his eyes roll. The words turned around, and said with a smile: "It's not simple, I don't dare to ask, don't Yang Feng want to ask?" When the time comes, I'll listen to it along. Ha ha. What else do you have to say, you lazy fellow? ”

Ma Zhong really didn't speak, but he was not stopped by Pan Zhang, but there were other situations.

He waved his hand violently, and the five fingers of his right hand were spread. Then his index and ring fingers curled up and gestured to Pan Zhang. Hold your left hand to your lips. There was a loud whistle that sounded like the screams of a night owl.

After the two movements were completed, he exerted his strength in his waist and abdomen, and actually made a carp-like movement on the tree, and stood silently in the canopy! At the same time, his left hand reached over his shoulder, and his right hand was wiped on his waist, and a pair of bows and arrows were already in his hand.

Pan Zhang also did not slack off at all, his body was prostrate, the grass-green helmet was buckled on the top of his head, and the person was already lying back in the grass.

From Ma Zhong discovering that something was wrong and sending a signal, to the two of them hiding again, it was just a blink of an eye, even if someone saw them, they were likely to mistake it for the wind blowing the trees and the grass being dark and frightened.

The two of them didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and they didn't follow the group to hurry, of course, not to come out to cool off. In fact, the two of them were responsible for the most important and dangerous tasks in this great retreat, guarding and breaking off.

In this retreat, Xu Shu adopted the tactics of day and night.

The scale of the retreat was too large, and there was nothing to be done on the course of action, so it could only move along the water, and it was easy to be targeted.

Guo was too afraid, and the Huns were also frightened, but the Xiliang army refused to give up.

Xu Shu's intention was to lure the Xiliang army over more, and hit them hard to scare them. But Li Dao is too cunning, although he hesitates to get into the plan, he is unwilling to invest too much. As a result, although his cavalry losses were not small, the infantry did not even hurt a single hair, and the threat was still great.

As a last resort, Xu Shu ordered a retreat overnight, and then let the troops camp after dawn. This move greatly surprised Li Dao, when he rushed up with the remnants of the cavalry to harass, he found that he was facing the elite of Bai Bo who were waiting behind the temporary camp, and the opportunity for harassment was stranded at once.

Li Wei is also a person with a strong mind, of course he will not give up easily, since Xu Shu camped during the day and there was no gap, he simply came to attack at night. Anyway, his goal is not to swallow the entire Baibo Army in one bite, as long as he delays the other party's itinerary, he will succeed when Guo Yan and Fan Chou come to rendezvous.

Of course, Xu Shu would not let him succeed easily, so a contest between sneak attack and ambush began between the two armies. As experts in this way, Pan and Ma Erjun are of course the vanguard of the fight against enemy attacks.

Today, Pan Zhang has lost count of the first night battles, he only knows that this kind of battle has been fought for a long time, and it won't last too long.

"Get ......" The horse's hooves were wrapped in cloth, and the sound of hooves was very soft, but Pan Zhang could judge the number and direction of the enemy through the vibration of the ground, and Ma Zhong's sensitive ears could catch a very slight sound from a long distance.

"Boom...... Boom! Suddenly there was the sound of the ropes suddenly tightening on the official road, followed by the loud sound of falling to the ground, far and wide in the silence of the night.

Subsequently, there were also bursts of noise in the woods on both sides of the official road, including suppressed exclamations, muffled snorts, the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, the crunch of hard objects colliding, and the 'whoosh' sound of the grass and trees shaking violently.

Soon, silence returned to the woods and the official road. Ma Zhong shook his head and lowered the bow and arrow in his hand, and Pan Zhang let out a sigh of disappointment without concealment.

The closest place to the noise was more than a hundred steps away from where the two of them were, that is, the front line of the Hidden Mist Army's ambush circle, and today's enemy had given up too early.

"But General Pan Jue in person?" On the official road, some people raised their voices and shouted.

"It's a certain house! Who's on the other side? Taking advantage of the moonlight tonight, why not let the horses come over and fight in a dignified manner? Pan Zhang responded without hesitation, but as soon as the words came out, his body turned around and silently hid to the back of the tree.

"The last general Hu Feng, I have heard the name of General Pan for a long time, I have learned it today, he will be fortunate to meet again in the future, and I will say goodbye!" In the three days since the pursuit, more than 500 Xiliang elites have died in the traps of Pan Zhang and Ma Zhong, and Hu Feng has also caught up with them.

Ma Zhong is low-key, and Xu Shu is also happy to hide a killer feature, so no one knows about him, and all the achievements belong to Pan Zhang. In this way, the latter's deterrent power will naturally be doubled, knowing that Pan Zhang is here, where does Hu Feng dare to be strong? Tonight, the moon is dark and the stars are dark, and you will let the horse step on your trap in a dignified manner? Lao Tzu is not stupid!

Throwing down more than a dozen corpses, Hu Feng turned around and ran, letting Pan Zhang show his figure and shouting provocations, but he refused to turn back.

After scolding for a while, Ma Zhong's cold voice sounded again, and he said lightly: "Jue, don't scream, everyone has run away a few miles away, pack up and go back, when the army has passed Zhouyangyi, you have to go back to pick up the brothers who stayed in Anyi." The road is still long. ”

"Bad luck, bad luck, these cowards, I'm really angry!"

relied on fame to deter the enemy, but Pan Zhang didn't feel the scenery at all, he hated Xu Shu to death. If it weren't for Xu Shu's order to go out day and night, how many spectators would he have in these dozens of ambush battles after the break, and how much limelight he could have.

It's really heart-scratching to think about!
