While Cao was talking to Yang Xiu, Shi Xin and his troops just passed through the girder above Chen Liu, looking at Dingtao and leaving. After a rapid march all the way, it took everyone two hours to finally arrive at Dingtao.

At this time, it was ten o'clock at noon, and the scorching sun was not roasting, and it was really bitter and tiring. After eating dry food, the soldiers unwound their clothes and found a wooded area to cool off.

Shi Xin walked to Cai Yan's side, and saw that she was sweating all over the place, looking tired, and distressed.

"Yan'er, I advised you to take the first step with General Gao Shun, but if you answered at that time, you would avoid a lot of suffering. ”

Cai Yan took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat carefully, and said stubbornly: "I was frightened when I saw the battle last day, instead of worrying in front of me, it is better to advance and retreat together with my senior brother." ”

Shi Xin sat beside her, grabbed her little hand and laughed: "Is this life and death with you?"

Unexpectedly, Cai Yan trembled and blamed: "I don't want to hear a dead word, it's unlucky, you are not allowed to say it again in the future." ”

She had always been tender-faced, and if she had been in normal times, she would have withdrawn her little hand, but at this moment, she had forgotten all about what Shi Xin said.

Shi Xin greedily played with his little hands, laughing secretly in his heart, but he couldn't stop agreeing, "Okay, okay, listen to Yan'er, I will pay attention to what I say in the future." Hey, Yan'er didn't eat anymore, her clothes were soaked with sweat, so let Senior Brother take you to the back to change your clothes. Don't worry, with the senior brother guarding, no one can get close. ”

Cai Yan was ashamed and took a bite of him, "I hate it!" Finally, he realized that his little hand was wrapped in his rough big hand, kneading it back and forth, and with a grunt, he withdrew his hand.

It's a pity that there are not many such beautiful moments, a fast horse came from the west, the spy rolled the saddle and dismounted, and hurriedly said: "My lord, Cao has all the soldiers and horses, and he is chasing us." Looking at its lineup, there are about 40,000 people, and the end is all over the mountains. ”

Shi Xin's surprise was not trivial, he stood up with a swish, and asked urgently, "Where are you?"

"The striker is about to arrive in Dingtao, I believe he can catch up with us in two hours!"

Shi Xin rubbed the sun, "How are they arranged?"

"I saw that the striker was waving the main flag of Xiahou, which should be Xiahou Yuan. The deputy flag is Zhang, and we can see that the deputy general is Zhang Liao. They had about 5,000 men and horses, all light cavalry. Cao Yang Xiu Xun Yu sat in the Chinese army, and Cao Ren Xiahou Xu Chu Dianwei was the rear army, recuperating from his injuries while marching. ”

"Xiahou Yuan and Zhang Liao, hehe...... The two seventh-rank pulse masters are going to die! The previous two battles had to be done by Yang Xiu, this time with Cao, everything needs to be cautious and careful, it seems that it is difficult to do anything again, how is this good?" The corners of Shi Xin's mouth twitched, feeling helpless, and a sense of powerlessness arose.

Chen Gong and Xu Rong have experienced many wars and difficult battles, and they are all gathered at Shi Xin's side at this moment, frowning and thinking about countermeasures.

Chen Gong looked into the distance and muttered, "I can't think of it."

Wenyuan joined Cao Jun, and the last thing I wanted to see happened. ”

Xu Rong said: "Now our people are sleepy and tired, and they can barely stand and walk, let alone fight."

At this time, Zhou Tai also walked over and said with a resolute face: "There is no endless road, I believe there is a way to do it." ”

He looked at Shi Xin as he spoke, and the words were addressed to him. Zhou Tai rarely spoke during the deliberations, but his confidence in Shi Xin never wavered, as before.

With Zhou Tai's encouragement, Shi Xinxin recovered a lot.

Chen Gong was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I don't know what the situation is on Kong Ming's side? Now that we are separated by a river, since the road ahead is slim, and there are pursuers behind, crossing the river to ask for help is the only way." Why don't you send someone who is familiar with the water to the other side and ask Kong Ming's opinion"

A word woke up the dreamer, Shi Xin slapped his thigh and shouted, "Yes! Why didn't I think of it?"

However, Chen Gong did not show excessive surprise, and said slowly: "Lord, they are naturally good with the wind and water, but I am most afraid that they will also encounter trouble." Don't forget that when he set off, Kong Ming once said that there were 5,000 Jizhou soldiers and horses traveling back and forth nearby, and if one of them didn't do well, they would be discovered. ”

Zhou Taidao: "You don't have to guess, I'll see it later." Without further ado, I'll be on my way. "After saying that, he lifted his feet and left.

At this time, Zhang Ning chased after him and said hurriedly: "Wait for me, I'll go with you!"

Zhou Tai hurriedly stopped her, "The lord needs to employ people here all the time, you and I are gone, isn't there two helpers missing?"

Zhang Ning pouted and complained: "Since this journey, you have known the princess and princess, and you haven't cared about me, whether you are thirsty or not." As soon as you leave, I don't even have anyone to talk to, how boring it is. ”

Zhou Tai lowered his face and said in a deep voice: "Marching and fighting, you know how to play with child's play, I have something important now, you will pester me again, and you will only ask if you miss a big thing." ”

Zhou Tai usually relies on Zhang Ning, but once it comes to Shi Xin's great cause, he will not give any face.

Zhang Ning made a son, but he refused to let go.

Shi Xin came out to play a round: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise." You two go together. Anyway, we're going to run away from you, and we don't need you for a while. With Zhang Ning's help, you can at least go back quickly. ”

Zhou Tai thought about it, and glared at Zhang Ning, so he had to let her follow.

After they were gone, Shi Xin boosted his morale and set out on the flee again, but the soldiers were tired and their speed was greatly reduced. Shi Xin was anxious, but he didn't dare to urge too much, so as not to cause a mutiny, which would be even more difficult to clean up.

The soldiers are divided into two ways, and the words are divided into two ends.

Zhuge Liang and others walked on the land of Jizhou, surprisingly smooth. As soon as he entered the territory of Jizhou, he immediately sent people and collected them

Buying and bribing some nearby officials, it has been found out that the reason why Fu Xiang and others led soldiers to swim nearby, it turned out that Pang Tong, a former classmate of Jingzhou, was playing ghosts.

Previously, Pang Tong asked Liu Bei to fight, and contained Yuan Shao in the rear of Jizhou, wanting to give Gongsun Zan a chance to breathe, and at the same time waiting for an opportunity to attack Qingzhou with Xu Shu left and right. It's a pity that it backfired, and Gongsun Chan was quickly defeated. Yuan Shao sent Zhang He to chase down Pang Tong, and Kong Rong also returned to Qingzhou at this time. Pang Tong suddenly became a lone army, in a dilemma.

At this time, Liu Bei explained to Kong Rong that there was a support left in Jizhou and asked Kong Rong to let him go. Kong Rong was worried that they would suddenly attack when they retreated, and he refused to agree. He also divided the army into three, on the one hand, to meet Shi Xin in Jinan County, on the other hand, to guard against Liu Bei in the south of Qingzhou, and finally to guard against Pang Tong in the north. It's just that Kong Rong was afraid that Shi Xin would be distracted, so he didn't tell him about it.

Pang Tong's ghost did Zhuge Liang a great favor. The Jizhou soldiers near the Yellow River focused all their attention on Pang Tong, and they were not very aware of the refugees turned into by the Holy Sect Army, so Zhuge Liang and the others were safe and sound all the way to the vicinity of Liyang.

Since it's okay, let's do it according to the previous method, break it into pieces, and go out by day and night.

Besides, Zhou Tai and Zhang Ning ran all the way, and they came to the Yellow River after a while. Zhang Ning stopped and said with joy: "Zhou Tai, look, we are back to the Yellow River again!" Then his face turned red and said shyly: "I still remember the first time I came to Luoyang, or you carried me all the way from Julu, I didn't expect it to be like this for several years." I don't know if my father and sister are okay."

"Uh-huh, good!" Zhou Tai casually agreed and prepared to jump into the river.

"Ouch, why is it so complicated to jump into the river, the water element is abundant here, I'll give you a ride. ”

After Zhang Ning finished speaking, he sacrificed the nine-section scepter, and a thick mist rose up and knotted a few feet in front of him.

Zhou Tai didn't want to get his clothes wet, so he jumped up with Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning cast a spell, and the mist carried the two into the Yellow River.

After a while, the two arrived on the opposite bank Zhou Tai raised his eyes and looked, and he didn't know where to start, when suddenly a group of merchants came from the west, with a lot of wind and dust on his face, Zhou Tai recognized that it was Shi A's right-hand man.

Zhou Tai was overjoyed and secretly shouted, "God help me!" hurriedly greeted him.

Ma was also taken aback when he saw Zhou Tai and Zhang Ning, and asked even if it was true.

Zhou Tai probably told Ma about the situation, and then asked Ma why he was dressed like this, not a refugee from Chang'an?

Ma Dao: "This is all Jia Xu's strategy. ”

Zhou Tailian asked.

Ma Dao: "As soon as Jia Xu set off, he found that the influx of a large number of refugees would only make people more suspicious. Qin Jian and I were a caravan, one in the front and the other in the middle, as a transit station for the scouts, transmitting information. ”
