"Haha." Zhang Lang laughed heartily again, but because he laughed without scruples, he touched the wounds on his body, and only screamed in pain.

Yang Rong hurriedly supported Zhang Lang and said with concern: "Husband, are you okay?" ”

Zhang Lang said twice, so he said strongly: "It's okay, it's okay." However, the cramping look on his face betrayed him.

Yang Rong glanced at her angrily, and said angrily: "Really, I have never seen two injured people so desperate." ”

Zhang Lang laughed twice, quickly exchanged a glance with Xu Huang, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Yang Rong and said, "The man stands up to the sky, what is this injury." ”

Yang Rong couldn't cry or laugh, and suddenly slapped Zhang Lang's wound with her slender hand, and then ignored his screams of killing pigs, and was proud: "Isn't it painful, men should not be afraid of pain or tiredness." Hey, why are you so ugly? Well, don't say it's cramps. ”

Zhang Lang's whole face was squinted in pain, like a shriveled orange peel, the big sweat on his head was dripping down, and his eyes were wailing and looking at the smile under Yang Rong's beautiful face, and he only inhaled cold air.

Zhao Yu giggled, looking at Zhang Lang's wonderful expression with his mouth open, enough to swallow a fist, like watching a monkey play.

It took a long time for Zhang Lang to breathe down, and he smiled bitterly: "It seems to be ...... The wound opened again. ”

"Ahh As soon as Zhang * came out, Yang Rong and Zhao Yu were taken aback at the same time, panicked, and hurriedly came over to check the wound.

Seeing that the two women were in a hurry, Zhang Lang looked up at Xu Huang, his eyes were full of pride. The latter responded with a wry smile, his face full of "admiration".

At this time, Zhang Lang suddenly remembered a question and asked, "Gongming, didn't you use a mountain-opening axe?" When did you switch to knives? ”

Xu Huang said calmly: "Back to the lord, Huang uses a battle axe on a horse, but he likes to use a big knife in foot combat." ”

"Oh" Zhang Lang suddenly realized, so it was.

At this time, Zhang Lang saw that it was not too late, so he first asked Yang Rong to help him and Xu Huang take medicine, and then went to find a place to stay.

On this day, the group finally walked out of the mountains and stepped on the official road. Then it took two more days to walk all the way to Caoyang County.

Originally, Zhang Lang wanted to return to Hongnong, go south through the land of Sankun, climb over the towering mountains, and then return to Huaisi from the desolate area on the border of Jingzhou. How do you know that Li Dao and Guo Yanduan are extremely vicious, and they are relentless in pursuit of Emperor Xian all the way, Hongnong, Jiaxian to the dangerous area of Kunshan Mountain, all dangerous passes are heavily guarded, and the garrison is strict, and the goal of his party is too big, Xu Huang is known to many Shaanxi soldiers, and in desperation, he can only retreat to Caoyang.

And Emperor Xian's entourage, every time the journey is extremely slow, it is only before the day that they leave Caoyang and go to Michi.

According to the news that Eagle Guard has just gotten, the traitors Hu Cai and Li Le of Shouyang Mountain were overjoyed when they received the letter of pardon from the Son of Heaven, and immediately swore that they were willing to be loyal to the Han family.

And when he was ambushed under Da Li Zhuang, he didn't hear the news that Huang Xudianwei and other generals were killed, which made Zhang Lang greatly relieved.

What surprised Zhang Lang the most was that Xiahoudun's vanguard troops were forbidden and led 3,000 light cavalry, and they had crossed Luoshui and marched towards Luoyang two days ago. If you calculate according to the time, then you can reach Luoyang in the middle of last night or around today. And Luoyang to Mianchi, with the speed of light horseing, it is only a matter of two or three days, and as soon as Cao Jun arrives, he will be in trouble. I really didn't expect Yu Ban's march speed to be so fast.

And I believe that Cao Jun will not just stop after receiving the emperor, if he is not surprised, he will cross the pond and march to Hongnong and Chang'an, and it is estimated that there will be a large-scale fierce battle with Li Dao and Guo Yan in the Caoyang area. Because only in this way can Cao Ying increase his weight in the eyes of Emperor Xian, so as to oppress his opponent in form, minimize the blocking ability, and finally successfully move the emperor to Xuchang, achieving the goal of coercing the princes of the heavens. And to receive the Guanzhong lands casually, it can be said that there are many birds with one stone.

Judging from the current form, the quality of Cao Yingjun's army and the equipment of the generals and the deployment of the generals are by no means comparable to Li Dao and Guo Yan. Coupled with the help of Shouyang Mountain Hu Cai and Li Lezhi, I believe that Li and Guo will soon withdraw from the big stage of history in the late Han Dynasty and complete their "glorious mission".

Thinking of this, Zhang Lang suddenly felt a chill rise in his spine, and it was difficult to sleep and eat. made a decision immediately, risking being discovered by Li and Guo Jun, and marched towards Kunshan.

Along the way, it was found that many Shaanxi troops were patrolling and platoon sentry at the pass of the important town. Standing on the high ground, from time to time I found that the flags were fluttering and the camps were continuous.

The crowd took a detour from afar, leaving the sparsely populated and barren mountains and mountains, or resting in the caves during the day and only coming out in the dark at night.

Even after escaping, everyone was a lot thinner, Eagle Guard was fine, and the others all had blisters on the bottom of their legs, which was painful and itchy. Zhang Lang saw that everyone was more embarrassed than the other, and he wanted to get a few horses to travel, but who knew that this thing was even more terrible, it was simply priceless, and it was almost plundered by the Shaanxi army. The worst thing is the horse dealer, Zhang Lang watched from a distance as the horse dealer several good horses were not only confiscated by the Shaanxi army, but also whipped. Trying to get a horse is almost a fool's dream.

Everyone had to drive the self-created No. 11 bus and carefully move it all the way. Two days later, the mountain was far away.

Crossing the Sankun Mountains, then flowing through Luoshui, turning over the Qinling branch of the Bear's Ear Barberry and other mountains, it will enter the boundary of Liu Biao, although it can not be said that it can be swaggered, but it can also become more reassuring.

At noon that day, Zhang Lang and the others rested in a small teahouse on the edge of the official road.

The teahouse had only a few barely seatable stools and a few black tables. Then there's a stove and a small wool house.

There are towering trees on both sides of the house, but they are all withered and uncovered by branches and leaves, and the tea in this open room is so thin.

The owner of the hall was an old man with gray hair, his face was full of wrinkles, his hunchback was hunchbacked, he walked with a sway, and he gasped twice from time to time.

Xu Huang just took a sip of the wine served by the old man, and when it was still in his stomach, he couldn't help but spit it out, his eyes flashed with anger, and he just wanted to slap the table and get up, meet the old man's pitiful and frightened gaze, swallow the anger back, and said with a calm smile on his face: "Old man, your wine is really too unpleasant, isn't it a certain thing, at least more than half of the water seeps in it." Fortunately, I met a certain young master today, if it was someone else, I was afraid that you would not be able to open this store. ”

After the old man came in from Zhang Lang's group, he saw that they all had weapons in their hands, his face was cold, and his heart was already frightened. In addition, a team of officers and soldiers came the night before yesterday, robbing and killing, and the little old man came up with this strategy in order to eat with his mouth. After saying that, he was in tears.

Zhao Yu saw that his sympathy rose, he took out all the copper coins from his body and put them on the table, and said with pity on his face: "Grandpa, these are for you." ”

The old man was very grateful, and looked at the copper coin on the table with bright eyes, but he was embarrassed to take it.

Seeing this, Yang Rong smiled softly and said, "Uncle, let's take it as our tea and wine money." ”

The old man wanted to say something, but Zhang Lang said at this time: "Uncle, you can accept it, by the way, I will ask you something." ”

The old man trembled slightly and put the copper coin in his arms, and then said gratefully: "Master, you just ask, the little old man knows everything." ”

Zhang Lang motioned for the Eagle Guard to bring a stool over, and then smiled: "Uncle, what did you say about the officers and soldiers who came last night?" ”

When the old man saw Zhang Lang ask about this, his whole body suddenly shuddered, his eyes were full of fright, and he said sadly: "The old man doesn't know, when he came to the first shift the night before, a team of officers and soldiers suddenly came out of nowhere, and after entering the village, they robbed them door to door. Not only that, but when he saw that the man was a little stronger, he forcibly pulled him up to join the army, and when he saw a young woman, he forcibly committed violence. They are human beings, and they are not as good as beasts. ”

By this time, the old man had stopped crying.

Everyone also comforted the old man with a heavy heart, and Zhao Yu's eyes were even more round, like a tigress.

Zhang Lang frowned and said, "Then why is the old man still here?" Why not leave this land of right and wrong? ”

The old man sat helplessly on the stool and said bitterly: "Yesterday morning, all the people who could leave moved away, leaving only some people who wanted to leave but couldn't." Most of them are people who are the same age as the old man and have no money. However, the old man turned his eyes and said with joy on his face: "But with the old man's copper coin, the old man is ready to leave it immediately." ”

Zhang Lang nodded. But his face began to become solemn.

Yang Rong happily looked at the old man who left happily, and then looked at Zhang Lang in confusion and said, "Husband, what do you want?" ”

Zhang Lang took a breath and said hatefully: "I didn't expect Li Wei's army to be so inhumane, I suddenly hoped that Cao Yan's army could be killed as soon as possible." ”

As soon as Yang Rong wanted to laugh, a dull sound suddenly sounded on the official road, coming from far and near, like dense thunder. Zhang Lang and Xu Huang's faces changed greatly, they looked at each other, and at the same time exclaimed in a low voice: "It's the cavalry." ”

Zhao Yu's face changed drastically: "Is it Li Dao's troops?" ”

Xu Huang said calmly: "It's possible, let's hide it first." ”

Everyone hurriedly hid on both sides of the official road, and then cautiously stretched out their heads, not daring to look at the speeding cavalry.

The sound of hooves was dense, like lightning and thunder, and it was extremely dull, and everyone endured the deafening sound until the cavalry was halfway through the probe to peek.

"It's Cao Ying's cavalry." Zhang Lang looked shocked.

"Ahh Yang Rong and Zhao Yu exclaimed at the same time.

"Say Cao Ying, Cao Ying, and Cao Ying." Zhang Lang said with a wry smile on his face.

Fortunately, the small ditch on the side of the official road was very deep, and the sound of the cavalry was too dense, but no one noticed it.

Xu Huang was also shocked, staring straight at the cavalry whistling by one after another, and said in a low voice: "Looking at their itinerary, they are definitely not marching alone, they are all energetic, their faces are solemn, and they don't bring any auxiliary equipment, but they must be going to the battlefield." It seems that Cao Jun learned that there was Li Dao's army here, and he planned to take him by surprise. Moreover, according to the situation, Xiahoudun's main battle force had advanced to Caoyang County, and it was no more than two hundred miles away from the cavalry, because only in this way could the cavalry be able to support it in case it was trapped. ”

Zhang Lang's eyes were full of appreciation, but Xu Huang got so many questions from this team of cavalry, and he was really a general.

Xu Huang then said calmly: "The main battlefield of the Cao army should not be placed at the foot of the Kunshan Mountain, the light cavalry is characterized by strong mobile surnames, prominent concealed surnames, and easy to surprise attacks, so it must be to contain the armies of Li and Guo, or disrupt the normal defense deployment of the other party, so as to facilitate the main force to attack." ”

At this time, the cavalry of the Cao army had all passed, leaving only the official road dusty and full of yellow sand.

Zhang Lang climbed out, shook the dust on his body, and said calmly: "In any case, the battle between Cao Ying, Li Dao, and Guo Yan has been resolved, and the only way for us now is to quickly retreat to Jiangdong." ”

Everyone nodded in agreement. Then things were not as simple as Zhang Lang thought.

In the afternoon of the second day, Zhang Lang crossed the Nanling Road of Dongkuo Mountain, and the two sides were thousands of miles away, and the situation was dangerous. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I'll be crushed. There is only a small plank road in the middle, which extends far forward from the foot, with dangerous peaks on one side and an abyss on the other. Zhang Lang and the others turned around again, and just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, when they suddenly found that at the mouth of a gorge not far away, there was a tent that was faintly connected by three or five and fluttering flags. And the watchtower is towering, and there are people walking back and forth on it.

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone saw the look of shock in each other's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ying's plan came to this point, and even such a deep mountain and dangerous place was guarded by soldiers, completely choking every road from Guanzhong to the Central Plains.

Just when Zhang Lang was in a dilemma, it was obvious that the soldiers on the sentry tower had spotted them and shouted loudly.

Then there was a loud roar in the valley: "Whoever comes, if you don't obey, bow and arrow scout." ”

Yang Rong gently pulled Zhang Lang's sleeve and said, "Husband, let's go back the way we came, the range of the bow and arrow can't reach here." ”

Zhang Lang shook his head unexpectedly and said, "No, I'll try to fool them first." ”

Zhang Lang straightened his throat and shouted loudly to the side of the canyon: "All the military masters, don't shoot arrows, just because there is a war outside, and the grass people fled here with their families in order to escape for their lives, and they forgot about the uncles Haihan." ”

The sentry shouted, "Go back the way you came, and if you are a few steps forward, you will be treated as spies." ”

"Hey" Xu Huang sighed and shook his head gently, it seems that there is no drama, knowing that the number of the other party will not be large, but in such a terrain, one man is the key, and ten thousand people are not open. Zhang Lang could only spread his hands with a helpless wry smile, and could only prepare to return to say.

At this time, the corner of Zhang Lang's eyes was aimed at the flag fluttering in the wind, and it was a "Liu" character in a daze. With a move in his heart, he hurriedly asked: "Master Jun, the grass people will leave after asking, this is the guarded by the general?" ”

The sentry shouted angrily: "It is General Liu Bei who guards the important place." ”

"Ah" As soon as he heard that it was Liu Bei, Zhang Lang's eyebrows suddenly fluttered, and he couldn't imagine that Liu Bei, who had not heard from him for a few years, would be so down.

Maybe the hope of returning to Jiangdong is in him.
