Chapter 608: On the Road
There are many flat land in the south of the Yangtze River, after all, the road is easy to walk, on the way to the place where Xue Li is, Zhen Rong is fleeing frantically with people and vehicles, he is afraid that Wen Ping will rush over, and the burning of the city is to block Wen Ping's footsteps, but this practice is usually done by mortal enemies who do not die, he is very afraid that Wen Ping will chase him regardless of the city.
It wasn't until Zhen Rong ran to where Xue Li was and met Xue Li that he was completely relieved.
"If it weren't for Xue Gong to take him in, Rong would not have escaped his life." Zhen Rong took Xue Li's hand and began to cry.
"Jun Shou Xiapi, but also in the east of my Pengcheng, now Pengcheng line, Cao Bing has not been seen, why is this here? Could it be that Cao Jun took Xiapi? Xue Li looked at the embarrassed Zhenrong and suddenly said curiously.
"Xue Gong doesn't know, this time not only the Cao army is killed, but the Chongming thief is also coming, the two sides are attacking together, how to defend it." When Zhen Rong heard that Peng Cheng's Cao Bing was missing, his heart suddenly moved, and then he said nonsense casually.
"I couldn't bear to see the people suffering, so I had to abandon the city and flee south, and led Cao Chang's second army to chase after him, so that the people of Xiapi could take the opportunity to escape to the East China Sea. A certain ordinary Buddha, pure heart and few desires, no long things, only because of the light body, so the thief chased me and got rid of it. I wanted to go south to Guangling and join forces with Yuanda to fight the thieves together, what expected! Zhen Rong sighed when he said this.
"How?" Xue Li looked very nervous, Guangling and Xiapi were the rear of his Pengcheng, if Guangling was lost and Xiapi fell into the hands of the enemy, then his Pengcheng would become an enclave, and life and death would be at the mercy of others.
"Unexpectedly, the long thief sent Wen to attack Guangling, and when he arrived, Guangling City was broken, and Zhao Yuanda was dead! Wen hired soldiers in the city, burned and looted, a certain enemy, desperately snatched out some property, fled to the west, until here, only to see Xue Gong, but unfortunately Zhao Yuanda, died in the hands of thieves, can not live... He complained with emotion.
"This..." Xue Li was a little distracted, Xiapi and Guangling were lost, how could his Pengcheng be able to hold it.
"If it weren't for the step, desperately come to report the news, I am afraid that there will be no chance of survival, Gong Zhen will come from afar, take a break, and I will discuss countermeasures tomorrow." Xue Li said to Zhen Rong.
"Well, that's it." Zhen Rong nodded.
Xue Li asked Zhenrong to settle down, and he returned to the mansion.
Originally, Tao Qian forced Xue Li to send troops this time and stick to the important place, but in fact, he wanted Xue Li to die.
Xue Li naturally had no intention of working hard for Tao Qian, so he was planning to evacuate Pengcheng, cross the river and station, or find an opportunity to seek refuge with others.
Who knew that this time Cao Bing did not attack, but after a little temptation, he disappeared, but this time Xue Li did not dare to move, he was afraid that it was Cao Jun's trick, once he left the city and fled, he was afraid that he would die on the spot.
Now the arrival of Zhen Rong really proves that Cao Jun is extremely treacherous and indeed has tricks, but fortunately it is not aimed at him, but it is a sound attack from east to west, bypassing Pengcheng to capture Xiapi.
After hearing that Zhen Rong said that Changjun and Cao Jun arrived together, Xue Li even figured out the reason why the other party did this, everyone knew that Cao Chang and the two had a good relationship, which was also normal, after a eunuch, an untrustworthy stranger, the identity was indeed a good match. So these two people captured Xuzhou, it is estimated that they are ready to divide equally, and the contradiction between themselves and Tao Qian is well known in Xuzhou, so Cao Jun captured Pi, and the Chang army attacked Guangling, but did not fight his Pengcheng, why is this?
Xue Li believes that it must be Cao Chang and the others who feel that they have a contradiction with Tao Qian, as long as they cut off the connection between Pengcheng and Xuzhou, then they can recruit themselves with a piece of paper, but they don't need to fight.
"Hmph, it's a wonderful idea, but it's too underestimating Xue, how can Xue succumb to the thief!" Xue Li sneered in his heart.
"Pengcheng has become an enclave, it is by no means a place to stay for a long time, if you go alone, you may go north to Yuan Benchu, but you have no energy, I am afraid it will be difficult to be reused, if the whole county is like-minded, and it is sad to Yanzhou, look around, only Yuan Highway and Liu Zhengli can tolerate me, Yuan Shu's anti-intention is obvious, Liu Xuan's imperial order is orthodox, well, vote Liu Xuan." Xue Li quickly made up his mind.
Xue Li, who was about to defect to Liu Xuan, began to deliberately make good friends, three meals a day, and feasts every day.
Xue Li wanted to recruit Zhenrong to defect to Liu Xiang together, after all, the two were both colleagues in Xuzhou, and they went to Liu Xuan's account together, so they could take care of it.
After Zhen Rong heard Xue Li's proposal to defect to Liu Xiang together, he happily promised that he had planned to go to Liu Xuan, but now that he had suffered a big disaster, it was just a little repaired on Xue Li's side, and Pengcheng was not safe at all, so he would soon be on the road again.
After getting the nod from Zhen Rong, Xue Li was overjoyed, Liu Miao was short of manpower, he led the troops to match, and he could also win over Zhen Rong together, he would inevitably be valued by Liu Xiang, and Xue Li was complacent.
So Xue Li's attitude towards Zhenrong was more and more courteous, and the friendship between the two was sublimated to the extreme because of the similar circumstances, and they even ate and lived together.
And Zhen Rong was also extremely satisfied with Xue Li's attitude, he felt that this Xue Li did not have any prejudice because of his bad reputation, and he also made friends with his heart.
"Yes, this person is worth befriending, and they can help each other in the future." Zhen Rong nodded, recognized Xue Li in his heart, and decided to make him a friend.
Soon, Xue Li was ready to go, Pengcheng's things naturally would not be left to Chang Cao and the others, he wanted to take them all away, he was different from Di Rong when he escaped from Xiapi, he had time to fight, Xue Li, who had collected a lot of money, happily went on the road with Ji Rong.
However, unlike Zhenrong, Zhenrong is the departure, and Xue Li is the real road, Huangquan Road.
Zhenrong, who has always been unable to resist the temptation of wealth, saw that the other party's car had much more gold than him, and his eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent, so, as in Guangling, Zhenrong once again, killed Xue Li by sneaking up from behind and piercing the back of the heart, and then he led his troops to kill Xue Li's accompanying guards, collected the remnants of Pengcheng, and completely occupied these wealth, so that Zhenrong is now many times richer than when he escaped from Xiapi, and even the number of troops has grown, which makes Zhenrong feel very happy.
Zhenrong took a lot of property and went directly to Liu Xuan, of course, these riches are all owned by him, and he has nothing to do with Liu Xuan.
The deeds of being the first in the world are not over yet, but they are coming to an end for the time being.
When Zhen Rong fled in embarrassment and defected to Pengcheng to join Xue Li, Changtian finally arrived outside Tancheng, and it was Cao Cao's army that arrived at about the same time as him, and Liu Bei's troops were later than the two of them.
Cao Cao did not choose to attack the city immediately, Liu Bei did not choose to send people into Tancheng to contact, and Changtian set up a large camp in the middle, and did not make a clear statement about who he was ready to help.
It seems that none of the three parties acted rashly.
This situation has made Tao Qian in Tancheng anxious.
