Chapter Thirty-Three: Danger in Battle

Needless to say in the next March, Xu Quan wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue the speedy order Chu Qian and Zhang Da to lead 20,000 victorious troops to attack Xuancheng, and ordered Wei Xiu and Chen Jin to order 10,000 elite soldiers to attack the walled city, the two cities are small remote cities, located within a radius of 100 miles of Guhe City, the soldiers in the city are few and outnumbered, and they are stretched.

Xu Quan saw that the good news continued, and accepted 30,000 soldiers, more than 10 generals, and was overjoyed to Feng Chu Qian for the Xuancheng Taishou, Wei Xiu for the Yuancheng Taishou, and the rest of the people who participated in the battle and returned victoriously were rewarded, and it was October, Xu Quan's ant gathered 60,000 elite soldiers, and won 10,000 militias in each city, all refined by Zhang He and Chu Qian, and the wheat can be re-enlisted in the coming year.

The city lords of each city are panicked when they hear this, the city lords of the twenty-one cities have joined forces together, and the ants gather 150,000 elite soldiers to punish Xu Quan, but Xu Quan writes a letter with a posterior gift, and tells Ji Yan to be anxious, Ji Yan sees that Xu Quan's letter is quite flattering, and he is happy, and he orders the cities one by one.

Besides, Xu Quan frequently ordered the cities to be too guarded to eliminate bandits, and the people of the city did not commit any crimes, and won the hearts of the people, this is a harmony, Shen Yue heard that the cities were constantly receiving good news, and the city lords of the surrounding eleven cities frequently gave gifts, knowing that Xu Quan's side had entered a good situation, and the country was prosperous and the people only had to fight for it in the coming year.

Besides, Chen Qi, living in Yancheng, and Xu Quan's house can be said to be close at hand, several times a month to come to sleep with Xu Quan, the next day to leave, Xu Quan also played on the spot, the next year gave birth to a son, named Xu Rui, Xu Quan so far the first time to see Chen Qi so weak, lying on the couch, sweating profusely and bloodless face, repeatedly painful and convulsive, after a day to give birth to an heir.

Xu Quan saw that his son was handed over to someone who was well versed in the way of raising babies for the time being, visited every day, and when he became an adult, he could practice martial arts and read books.

Before leaving, Chen Qi smiled in the car and said, "In October of the next year, I will return to Guhe City, and you should take the body of ten thousand gold as the most important, and do not come to the battlefield in person." ”

In the next few months, the generals were safe and sound, and all the cities were useless, but Xu Quan personally went out to grab medicine because of the occasional cold, and went to the Guhe City Medical Center, and the doctor saw the city lord coming in person, so he naturally treated him with courtesy, but he saw a person next to Xu Quan, his face was like a crown of jade, and his face was fiercer than Pan An's.

And said that Yi Yan has been silent recently, only practicing martial arts and practicing formations, and guarding himself, Xu Quan saw that he was actually named a deputy general, and all the generals under his command were puzzled, Yi Yan Xu Quan and Xu Quan seemed to have a grudge against each other, and they should be respectful and far away, how could they be entrusted with a heavy responsibility?

Besides, Xu Quan grabbed the medicine bag, and suddenly saw a person on the way home, dressed in brocade clothes, gold hairpins and silver ornaments, it was Yingyi, since Yingyi called the wind and rain to help him break the enemy, he was still in retreat, Fang now appeared, Xu Quan stepped forward to salute and said, "Can the national teacher be safe and sound in the near future?"

Ying Yi saw Xu Quanzhi, and also bowed and said, "The lord is still at ease, although the minister tampered with the sky in the past, although he committed a big taboo, he retreated for a year to recuperate, and there was no big problem, and then there was a word that the minister did not know ......."

Xu Quan saw that his voice was full of emotion, and said, "The national teacher, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ying Yi said with a stern face, "When the minister went out of the customs, he used to calculate the hexagram for the lord, and if the lord acted in accordance with the sky in the near future, the great cause could be accomplished, but ...... The Friends of the Lord have been unable to escape the scourge of death recently. ”

When Xu Quan heard this, his face was solemn and said, "But the generals are in trouble?"

"Definitely. ”

"But what about my wife and children?"

Yingyi couldn't help but smile, and said, "The little boy was born with a vision, which is a good omen, how can there be any difficulty? It should be the catastrophe of the lord's female friend...... If the lord leaves for help immediately, he may be spared. ”

When Xu Quan heard this, he thanked him again and again, and immediately returned to his house without stopping, and ordered Shen Yue to temporarily take care of the military, and ordered Chen Jin to rush to Cangyun City with him on three thousand iron horses.

When Chen Jin heard this, he put on his horse and asked, "It's just the words of the national teacher, why do you need the lord to work hard and let us order our own soldiers and horses." ”

Xu Quan smiled and said, "It's okay, I've only been taking care of leisurely fun recently, I'm afraid of abandoning martial arts, just go by myself." ”

Besides, in Cangyun City, people have been panicked recently, because the two forces in the north and east are unwilling to be defeated, and they want to form an alliance to punish Ji Yan, Ji Yan is not afraid to hear it, recruit troops and buy horses, hire loyal and virtuous people, and rectify military discipline in an orderly manner, and the gold yuan it needs is all forcibly seized from the rich families in the city, and for a time the rich families in the city coincided for the first time, scrambling to get out of the city, and because they were afraid of Ji Yan's pursuit, they had to flee to the wilderness, and the Qin family was the same.

Besides, Qin Rin originally wanted to take refuge in Xu Quan, but because Qin Ran insisted on obstructing it, he had to find another place and settle down in Cuihe City.

Besides, Wu Cao consciously had many generals, and actually ordered one hundred and fifteen sergeants to cross the Resentful Fog Forest, each hundred people were in a column, connected by red ropes, and strive to reduce the loss, and when they came out of the forest, there were only more than 600,000 million troops left, and the corpses in the forest were piled up into a mountain, like millions of corpses, and the surviving sergeants did not have time to rest, and they joined forces to attack Cuihe City.

Seeing this chaos, Taishou quickly ordered the army to close the city gate and report to the heroes, but the former alliance has now fallen apart, and the heroes are busy seizing the territory and cities, and have no intention of helping.

Besides, Cuihe City, the soldiers are outnumbered, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, they only hold on and do not eat, and the 600,000 enemy troops besiege the city day and night, and they want to fall within three days, the Qin family is still displaced, and they have a foothold here, but now they need to hold their heads and run around, and their head Qin Rin has recently become ill and bedridden, and his eldest son under his knees is nowhere to be found, so he has to let Qin Ran temporarily take care of family affairs.

Now that the black clouds are pressing the city, he has to secretly summon the elite guards in the city, and want to escort the Qin family out of the city tonight, as the saying goes, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and he will summon three hundred strong men with heavy money in just one day, and secretly plan to leave the city tonight.

At night, all the guards at the east gate were assassinated and died, the east gate was secretly opened, Qin Ran and his 30 men, and 300 strong people went out of the city, but saw that the enemy army outside the city was heavily surrounded, and the water was impassable, Qin Ran had to wait for the opportunity to take advantage of it, and wanted to wait for it to relax and escape to the trail.

Recently, the fighting has mostly occurred in the northwest two gates, and the enemy army at the east gate is weak, and it is also a place for the wounded soldiers to settle down.

But unexpectedly, his whereabouts were seen by the enemy, Qin Ran suddenly heard the noise of people and horses, knew that something was wrong, went out of the car to see it, saw the sergeants in the enemy camp poured out, surrounded it, three hundred strong saw the enemy menacing, abandoned the armor and fled, all were killed and captured by the enemy, for a time the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the Qin family 30 people were mostly old and weak, none of them were spared.

Qin Ran had no power to restrain the chicken, and could resist hundreds of brutal people, but the enemy saw that although he was dressed in brocade clothes, he had no armor and no sharp weapons, and he looked like a commoner rather than an enemy, so he only subdued him and sent him to the prison car to send him to the camp, and Qin Rin was now terminally ill, he wanted to die, and he was ravaged by the enemy, and now he was lying in the prison car and his life and death were uncertain, Qin Ran had to tremble and cry, and he was helpless about it.

Qin Rin was still alive but unconscious, during which Qin Ran repeatedly begged for medicine, but the sergeant did not allow it, Qin Ran had to give a gold bar hidden in his sleeve, and the sergeant saw it, and thought carefully before sending the inferior medicine to Qin Ran's hands, and Qin Ran had to temporarily pour the inferior medicine into Qin Ran's abdomen.

Besides, in the military camp of Wu Caofang, a general is five feet long and indefinite, broad and bearded, is Wang Hong, the son of Wang Xiaojie, who used to travel with Xu Quan in Bashu, because he was full of economy and was often rewarded by Xu Wei, the father of Xu Quan, and now he went out for his father, so that 600,000 elite soldiers wanted to attack Cuihe City.

When Wang Hong was sleeping on the couch, a sergeant reported that Qin Ran had been captured outside the city, and when Wang Hong heard this, he looked at him from the camp to the prisoner's car, and saw Qin Ran's ragged clothes and stomped feet, and he was only a minister of the city, and asked, "Who are you? Why did you go out of the city at night?"

Qin Ran saw that he was well-dressed and seemed to be the commander-in-chief, and replied truthfully, "I was originally a common man in the city, but when I saw that Cuihe City was about to fall, I fled at night, and begged the general to give me a way out." ”

When Wang Hong heard this, he was afraid that he was a messenger, pretending to be a commoner, but in fact he went out of the city to ask for help, so that the army was strictly guarded and waited for the next morning to be beheaded, Qin Ran's flower was discolored, and tears were like a spring of tears to worship and survive, but the left and right sergeants had sealed their mouths, and they had to see Wang Hong leave, and the sergeants were afraid that he would flee at night, and poured hemp boiling into his abdomen, and Qin Ran immediately became unconscious and fainted to death.

The next day, Qin Ran woke up, and saw that he had been tied up by five flowers, like poultry and livestock, abandoned by the enemy on the wooden platform, and on the wooden platform, a person stood with an axe, looking at his dress, he should be an executioner, and then looked around, hundreds of soldiers around the wooden platform stood with blades, and this was the place where Wang Hong beheaded the war criminals who deserted.

As soon as Qin Ran wanted to beg for mercy, his mouth was covered by his palm, and the executioner pulled his long hair and dragged him to the wooden platform, on which three corpses could be seen, all of which were in different places.

The knife in his hand fell, and the blood gushed like a spring, and this splash of blood did not come from Qin Ran's body, only to see an arrow from the string suddenly hit the neck of the executioner, and the executioner was unexpected, and collapsed in a pool of blood.

For a while, people neighed on their horses, and saw a group of people and horses coming after the battle, all riding white horses wearing black gold armor, its speed was like thunder, the momentum was like a rainbow, and it was like a black cloud shower.

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements in the Cuihe City, the soldiers in the city poured out of the nest, Wang Hong saw that the enemy was on his back and was afraid that the army would be cowardly, so he took the lead in wearing armor to reach the enemy.

Moreover, the Iron Cavalry of the Swift Heavens was personally refined by Zhang He, and it could already be called a man who could not be opened, but Xu Quan knew that the enemy was outnumbered and it was not suitable to fight for a long time, so he summoned the Ten Divine Shadows to fight side by side with him, and went straight to the wooden platform.

Xu Quan took advantage of the chaos to gallop to the wooden platform, and saw that although Qin Ran's face was bloodless, sluggish and abnormal, he was unscathed, so he was relieved and hurriedly dismounted to untie him, Qin Ran woke up like a dream, and shouted, "I'm fine, save my father first." ”

Xu Quan looked around, but there was no trace of his father, so he had to reply, "Wait until I save you out of the battle!"
