The old man's face changed, and he was very ugly.

On the side, he said frustratedly: "He didn't hide it, but he was the captain of the East Gate."

If it weren't for Invincible today, I wouldn't have known that he had actually belonged to the thief......"

The old man's face became even more ugly, and he shouted: "Pass the order and order Lu Kuang to lead his troops to take the east gate." ”

Yuan Shao's loss is not unjust, he raised such a bunch of fools. You must know that this frustrated sect is the captain of Yecheng, and Cen Bi is his subordinate. But he didn't even know the past experience of his generals, how could he be the captain of Yecheng?

If Liu broke into it today, it would be because of such negligence.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The East Gate, in sight.

Cen Bi finally made a choice and decided to return to Liu Chuang.

This was a rather difficult choice, but Cen Bi knew that the Yuan brothers were gone, and they stayed to serve Cao Cao as a general. He is not the kind of famous big man who is not allowed to be reused under the Yuan family, how can he be valued if he serves Cao Cao? Cen Bi knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to achieve something, he could only serve Liu Chuang, not to mention that his family had already been sent to Youzhou.

The east gate of Yecheng is opened.

Cen Bi led the way in front, and Liu Chuang followed closely with Dong Li and others.

And Yuan Bing was even more reluctant to spit out this mouthful of fat, how could he be willing to let Liu Chuang go.

Just when Liu Chuang was about to arrive at the city gate, he suddenly heard the neighing of the war horse behind him. Immediately after, Li Yifeng was heard shouting loudly: "Yuan Ji! ”

Liu Chuang hurriedly turned the horse's head. It turned out that Wu Anguo's mount was shot by Yuan Jun's arrows.

He planted himself from his horse. Rolled twice on the ground and rolled over to his feet. picked up a spear in his hand, and said loudly without looking back: "Han Niu'er quickly evacuated with the lord, and after the country's wish is broken, he will fight to the death for the lord." ”

"Yuanji!"

Liu Chuang urged the horse to go up, but when he saw Wu Anguo's beard, he said sharply: "The lord will not leave at this time, let alone when." ”

The Yuan army had already swarmed in, and Wu Anguo danced his spear. Facing the Yuan army, he rushed over, and at the same time shouted loudly: "The lord leaves quickly, and he will avenge the country in the future." ”

The spear was fierce and stabbed, and almost no one in the Yuan army who approached could stop the power of Wu Anguo's spear.

Li Yifeng, Cen Bi and Lu Yu grabbed the reins of Liu Chuang's horse, "The lord should go quickly, otherwise it will be too late." ”

How could Liu Chuang not understand in his heart that after Wu Anguo's decision, he would definitely die.

He knew better that he should leave quickly...... But. How could he bear to abandon Wu Anguo, an old courtier who had followed him for six years.

Thinking that he had not occupied Beihai State at the beginning, Wu Anguo joined his side.

For six years. Although Wu Anguo is not as prominent as Tai Shici and others, he has also made great contributions to him.

"Lord, don't hesitate any longer, otherwise Yuan Ji will die."

When Liu Chuang heard this, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and let out a long howl, and rushed out of the city gate.

Wu Anguo stood at the entrance of the city gate, covered in bruises. When he heard Liu Chuang's long howl, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past, scenes of following Liu Chuang came to mind.

Wu Anguo roared suddenly, and rushed towards Yuan Jun with a spear.

But I heard someone shouting: "Shoot the arrows!" ”

In an instant, a row of arrows broke through the air, and the three-winged arrows of the arrows got closer and closer, Wu Anguo suddenly stopped, and raised his head to the sky and let out a roar: "Lord, the country is willing to serve the lord again in the next life!" ”

Before the words fell, arrows rained down.

Wu Anguo's roar echoed above the city gate of Yecheng, and Liu Chuang led everyone to rush out of the city gate and escape while the night was dark. It's just that although they have escaped from Yecheng, there are still countless Yuan soldiers in ambush outside the city. They were signaled by the city and hurried to help in the battle. Although there are a large number of people, how can they stop Liu Chuang and the others from killing them? By the time the Yuan soldiers arrived in the city, Liu Chuang had already led people out of the encirclement and escaped into the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain.

The person who led the Yuan soldiers in pursuit was a young general.

Hearing that Liu Chuang and the others had escaped into Taihang Mountain, he not only frowned, but also showed a dignified expression.

The mountains of Taihang Mountain are extended, Liu Chuang and others fled into Taihang Mountain, Mo said that these soldiers and horses in his hands, even if they are the troops of Jizhou, do not want to block the entire mountain.

He hurriedly returned to Yecheng and reported to the old man.

When the old man learned about it, he not only let out a long sigh: "Heaven is immortal, he escaped this time, and it will be difficult to catch him again." ”

"So what should we do now?"

The old man pondered for a moment and then said, "Invincible, you immediately seize Handan with Lu Kuang, and at the same time try to block Taihang Bacheng and try to find the whereabouts of that Chuang Er." Youxue, you lead a group of soldiers and horses to join your uncle Lian and attack Xu Chu's department, but don't take it lightly.

The tiger idiot followed Liu Chuang through a hundred battles, and he can be regarded as a fierce general.

The old battalion under his command is a sharp soldier trained by Liu Chuang, and he cannot be resisted unless he is a tiger and a leopard. You're smart, but you can't underestimate the other person. In this battle, it is necessary to deal a heavy blow to Na Chuang'er, if you can kill Xu Chu, it will definitely be the first merit......"

When the young general heard this, he hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

After he left, he saw Fu Zong and Chen Lin standing respectfully in front of him, "Mr. Wenhe, what should I do next?" ”

The old man's eyes flashed, and a smile appeared on his clear face.

"Next, I will ask the two of you to go with me to Neihuang and persuade the two Yuan Gongzi to surrender."

“……”

In April of the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Cao took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was focused on Liyang, ordered the capital to wait for Jia Xu, and quietly arrived in Yecheng.

In fact, since Yuan Shao's death, many people in Yecheng have been secretly colluding with Cao Cao.

Among them, Fu Zong, Chen Lin and others expressed their willingness to submit. As soon as Yuan Shao died, the Yuan family was gone...... There is Liu Chuang in the north and Cao Cao in the south. And the Yuan brothers turned against each other for the establishment of an heir, and the momentum was like fire and water, which made people unable to see hope. So, after some careful consideration, Chen Lin and others finally decided to choose Cao Cao to serve. The reason is not complicated. Although Liu Chuang is located in the north, Youzhou is a bitter cold place after all. Money and food are not abundant. And Liu Chuang is even the uncle of the Han Emperor. And how? Cao Cao served the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Its wings are full and powerful...... The two defeats of Yuan Shaozhiwei are by no means comparable to Liu Chuang.

Even though Chen Lin had offended Cao Cao by writing a book, after careful consideration, he still decided to take refuge in Cao Cao.

Liu Chuang's disadvantages in age and qualifications were also undoubtedly revealed at this time. Almost no one could believe that Liu Chuang was able to stand up to Cao Cao.

Yuan Ke is Yuan Shao's brother. The final decision was made to betray Yuan Shang.

Under the persuasion of Chen Lin's frustration, he obeyed Jia Xu's dispatch and tried to take Yecheng without blood.

didn't want Liu Chuang to come suddenly, so Jia Xu had to act in advance. Not only that, but the Great General's Seal was also forcibly taken away......

Yecheng's rebellion also made Yuan Shang, who was in Liyang, mess up.

He had the heart to make peace with Yuan Tan, but was asked by Yuan Tan to be attached.

Yuan Shang was also an arrogant person, and when he heard Yuan Tan's rude request, he led his troops to evacuate in a fit of rage...... Fortunately, Yuan Shao has been operating in Hebei for many years. After all, there is still some confidence. Gao Fan, the former minister of Anping, learned of Feng Li's betrayal and Yecheng's accident. did not surrender, but led his troops to attack, occupied the Qiuqiu, and after joining forces with Yuan Shang, he immediately retreated to Zhao. Although the rebel general Lu Kuang occupied Handan first, Yuan Shang was the son of Yuan Shao after all, and he was quite popular in Handan. In addition, Gao Gan drew reinforcements from Bingzhou to support, Lu Kuang did not dare to make a hard enemy with it, and it was worth withdrawing from Handan in desperation, and stationed troops in Liang Qicheng to confront Yuan Shang's troops and horses......

At the same time, Lu Xun, Xu Chu and Pang De were ambushed on the banks of the Qinghe River.

Originally, Lu Xun planned to ambush Feng Li, but he didn't want Feng Li to be just a decoy.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Yuan and the two had already made arrangements, and when Lu Xun ordered an attack, the two teams killed at the same time, causing the Han army to be defeated.

This is also the second major defeat of the old camp since the Battle of Xuzhou.

It's just that this time the defeat won the battle of Xuzhou.

If it weren't for Pang De and Xu Chu's brave fight, if it weren't for Lu Xun's calm command in the battle, I was afraid that the three thousand old men would be wiped out in the Qinghe River.

After Lu Xun was ambushed, he knew that something was wrong.

But at this time, Cao Jun and Yuan Jun had already joined forces, and although Lu Xun had the intention to rescue Liu Chuang, Liu Chuang's whereabouts were unknown.

In desperation, Lu Xun decided to take the initiative to attract Cao Cao's attention. He suddenly threw Pinn in a situation that no one expected. After occupying Binen, he led the old battalion of less than 2,000 people to make a posture of crossing the river to attack Guantao...... Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly led his troops to help. I didn't want Xiahou Yuan's soldiers and horses to arrive in Ping'en, and I got the news that the Han army attacked Qingyuan.

Lu Xun even played the banner of Liu Chuang, and Hebei wandered around.

Xiahou Yuan almost caught up with Lu Xun several times, but after being shot by Lu Xun, he lost his trace again.

"Uncle Miaocai, it is impossible to be led by the nose like this.

The reason why this old army does this is to attract our attention and get the thieves to flee. If we follow him, we will be dragged down by them sooner or later. Now the situation, as long as the Zhangshui is blocked, the thieves are not allowed to join the old man, so let them mess around. ”

The person who spoke, named Cao Peng, was Cao Cao's nephew.

However, he is not from the Cao clan of Qian County, but from the Cao clan of Pei County.

After Cao Cao claimed to be Cao Shen, Cao Shen was the prime minister of the early Han Dynasty, but it was only later that the Cao family declined because of trouble. One of them moved to Qiaoxian and became the ancestor of the Cao family in Qiaoxian. After Cao Cao recovered Xuzhou, Cao Shifu of Pei County got in touch with Cao Cao again, and the two branches became one family. This Cao Peng is a member of the Cao clan in Pei County, who is valued by Cao Cao because of his bravery and resourcefulness.

After Xiahou Yuan listened to Cao Peng's advice, he was deeply convinced.

He immediately ordered that Lu Xun would no longer be pursued, but should be bounded by Zhangshui, strictly guarded to the death, and compressed the activity space of the old camp.

Lu Xun saw that the other party was no longer fooled, and he also knew that he couldn't do anything.

And Liu Chuang still had no news, so he had no choice but to lead his troops to retreat to Qinghe State......

At the same time, Zhuge Liang also got the news in Youzhou, and immediately ordered Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Guo Yuan to advance in three ways to seize Hejian.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

"So, Cao Sikong has already occupied Yecheng?"

"Yes, I heard that he led an army of 100,000 to cross the river and has captured Wei County."

"Where is the eldest prince now?"

"The eldest prince ......," the speaker sneered, "but somehow, he sued for peace with Cao Sikong and led his troops to retreat to Qinghe Country." ”

"The third prince is at war with Cao Sikong, but the eldest prince is making peace with Cao Sikong, isn't the third prince dangerous?"

Dahao Mountain, which is a branch of Taihang Mountain, is located at the intersection of Bingzhou and Jizhou.

At the foot of Mt. Grandio, there is a village with a liquor shop at the entrance of the village, where the merchants and porters rest.

A group of merchants sat in the wine shop, talking about the general trend of the world unscrupulously.

In the corner of the liquor store, a young man was silently drinking wine, as if he didn't care about the conversation of the people around him.

However, his ears were ridged, and he did not leave any of the contents of the merchants' conversations, and he listened to every word in his ears.

After about half an hour, the young man stood up, picked up a package from the side, and strode out.

Outside the liquor store, a horse was tethered.

The young man untied the reins, turned over and walked away.

"Why did the guest officer leave in such a hurry, and he hasn't asked for money yet."

"You rammer, that guest officer knows by looking at his appearance that he is not an ordinary person...... Have you noticed that he wears black boots on his feet and carries a knife in his hand? That horse is even more extraordinary, in fact, an idle person? How can such people look down on those little money? ”

A group of drinkers smiled at the guy, but when they saw the guy scratching his head, they took the dozen or so five-baht coins into their arms.

After the young man left the liquor store, he ran to the big mountain without stopping.

Once in the mountains, he dismounted and led his horse along the rugged mountain road.

After walking for about ten miles, he saw that there was no one left and right, so he walked along a sheep intestine path. Cross the trail and cross two streams, and the scenery suddenly opens up.

A hidden valley appeared in front of the young man's eyes.

He walked a few steps quickly, and saw more than a dozen people coming up to him.

"General Cen."

"What kind of general is Zijiaxiu talking about, shame me...... Uncle Huang has been waiting for you to come back, so he will go with me. ”

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly handed the reins to one of them, and followed the leader into the valley.

The area of the valley is not large, about four or five acres in size, and there is a waterhole in the middle. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the cliffs are overgrown with trees and lush greenery.

If you don't search carefully, it's hard to find the storage of the valley.

Next to the waterhole, a giant man is dancing his mallet, whirring.

Not far away, there was also a giant man sitting, seeing the young man coming, the sitting giant man hurriedly stood up, "Zijia, you are finally back." ”

The giant man is none other than Liu Chuang.

That night, after he led people out of Yecheng, he escaped into Taihang Mountain.

After some counting, the three hundred flying bear guards almost lost nearly two hundred people...... This also made Liu Chuang sad, not only the death and injury of Fei Xiongwei, but also the death of Wu Anguo. Originally, he planned to leave as much as possible, but Yuan's army was very fast and blocked the entrance out of the mountain. In particular, the passes to the north were almost completely closed by Yuan's army, and it was indeed a little difficult to return to Youzhou in the north.

In desperation, he had no choice but to take people to hide in the Taihang Mountains.

Seeing that time was passing day by day, Liu Chuang didn't know what the situation was outside, and he couldn't help but feel very worried.

At this time, he remembered Zhuge Liang's third tip: if there is a change in Yecheng, don't stay, go to the river quickly, and Liang should respond.

Between the rivers?

But the question is, how can he retreat to the river now?

Liu Chuang couldn't help but feel a headache, and after thinking twice, he decided to send Lu Yu out of the mountain to inquire about the news.

And the young man in the wine shop is also Lu Yu.

"Zijia, what's the situation outside?" (To be continued......)
