Chapter 116: A Loyal Man
When Li Su heard Chen Yan say this, he knew that there was no room for maneuver in this matter, and immediately asked, "Do you have to go to three people?" ”
Chen Yan said: "The three of them are more secure, if it really doesn't work, the two of them can also be." If I can't even pick two of them, then I'm going to try it alone......"
Before the words fell, suddenly a person said loudly: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to accompany the general on a journey!" ”
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see Hu Che'er suddenly kneeling on the ground, with a sincere expression on his face, it seemed that he was also willing to fight for Chen Yan's life.
Chen Yan originally trusted Hu Che'er very much before, but later learned that he was inserted by Jia Xu to fake surrender, and immediately felt bad for him, and now although he saw Hu Che'er willing to come to ask for his life regardless of the danger of his life, he was still unwilling to forgive this strong man in his heart.
Without waiting for Chen Yan to answer, Jia Xu hurriedly said: "Hu Che'er is born with divine powers, and he is not a familiar face, as long as he dresses up a little, no one in Duan Xuanjun will recognize him, general, this is a good idea!" ”
Chen Yan saw that Jia Xu agreed, and he really couldn't pick out any good characters, so he had to show a reluctant look on his face and said: "Since this is the case, then I bother you to go with me!" ”
Hu Che'er stood up at this time, he knew that although Chen Yan agreed, he still had a grudge against himself, but after all, he had pretended to surrender once, and it was no wonder that Chen Yan had to stand aside silently, with a very lonely expression on his face.
Chen Yan didn't care about Hu Che'er's embarrassment, and said: "Without further ado, everyone didn't have a good rest last night, and today is a full day's rest, Hu Che'er, you can go to Yang Feng's army with me in the evening, and we will leave tomorrow at the latest, in case Duan Xuan hears the wind." ”
Li Su hurriedly said, "Little brother, should we lead troops to meet you outside the Duan Xuan military camp?" ”
Before Chen Yan could agree, Jia Xu shook his head and said, "By all means, if Duan Yan sees that there is a stir on our side, with his fox-like character, General Chen Yan's assassination plan will never succeed." ”
Li Su knew that what Jia Xu said was right, sighed, and said, "Then let's just wait like this?" ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "That's the only way." ”
Chen Yan looked very optimistic and comforted: "Don't worry, there is a general named Xu Huang over there in Yang Feng who will lead the troops to meet me, he is a fierce general, if he is there, he can rescue me." ”
Xu Rong frowned and said, "Entrusting your safety to a stranger you meet for the first time, Junlang, doesn't it seem like a wise move?" ”
Jia Xu seemed to be very supportive of Chen Yan, and said: "Since the general trusts this person, it means that this person really has some skills, so we don't have to worry too much." ”
Chen Yan also nodded, thanking Jia Xu for his support.
Jia Xu said again: "General, if you leave tonight, can you give me the command of these three armies first?" ”
Chen Yan couldn't guess what kind of medicine was going to be sold in Jia Xu's gourd, so he frowned and asked, "What kind of plan does Mr. have?" ”
Jia Xu smiled and said: "It's not a plan, it's just that our military rations have run out ......."
Chen Yan was shocked and shouted, "How come? General Xu Rong robbed at least half a year's rations from Chang'an City, plus General Zhang Xiu's ...... How do you finish eating? ”
Jia Xu shook his head and said, "It's not really finished, it's just pretending to be finished." Early tomorrow morning, we will flee south in a hurry, and Yang Feng will get the news as soon as possible, and then send an envoy to inform Duan Xuan and ask him to pursue him together......"
Speaking of this, Chen Yan suddenly understood Jia Xu's strategy, and continued: "Hu Che'er and I are the messengers, and Duan Xuan is vengeful, and when he hears the news of our retreat, he will definitely order the army to pursue immediately!" ”
Jia Xu saw that Chen Yan's heart was like a mirror, and he continued with a smile: "And Duan Xuan has always spared his life, although the army will definitely not go to pursue, but lead a small number of troops to hide in the rear, at this time, ......"
Everyone could understand it at this time, and said in unison: "At this time, it is the best time to assassinate!" ”
After everyone finished speaking, they were surprised by Jia Xu's reflexes and cunning. It was only a moment since Chen Yan said the assassination plan, but Jia Xu had already been able to come up with such an excellent plan in his mind.
This strategy is not only ingenious, but also has a clear understanding of the enemy's character characteristics, which can be described as foolproof, and can also ensure Chen Yan's safety to the greatest extent, Jia Xu's ability is really strong and terrifying!
Chen Yan had more confidence in his heart at this time, with a clever strategist like Jia Xu by his side, Chen Yan naturally had a lot of chances of winning.
At this moment, Song Zhong suddenly leaned over and asked, "Leader, I want to go with you too!" ”
Seeing that Song Zhong insisted on this, Chen Yan immediately patted the man's shoulder gratefully and said, "Okay! Then you and Hu Che'er will accompany me to the ghost gate to close the door! ”
Song Zhong saw that Chen Yan agreed, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Anyway, I have lived for so many years, and I am used to seeing glory and wealth, so it's a big deal!" What are you afraid of! ”
Although Chen Yan heard Song Zhong say this, he could feel that this man actually still had a great fear of death......
Death and life are important matters, not to be underestimated.
And Hu Che'er was not shocked on his face, and he didn't seem to be afraid at all, but when he looked at Chen Yan, he always had a trace of guilt on his face.
Chen Yan took good care of Hu Che'er, Hu Che'er understood it in his heart, but unfortunately he deceived Chen Yan.
For a man like Hu Che'er, this incident is enough to make him feel guilty for life.
After the arrangements were made, Chen Yan hurriedly went to the camp to visit Zhang Xiu. At this time, Zhang Xiu was still asleep, but his face was calm, and there was no sign of fever in his body, so it could be seen that he was recovering well.
Chen Yan inevitably sacrificed the artifact blood-colored ancient jade to heal Zhang Xiu's injuries, presumably it won't be long before Zhang Xiu was able to go into battle again to kill the enemy.
After visiting Zhang Xiu, Chen Yan finally returned to his camp, and after tossing for so long, Chen Yan only felt that he had gold stars in his eyes and almost fainted.
When Xing'er saw Chen Yan coming back, she naturally asked again and again, for fear that Chen Yan would be hurt outside. Chen Yan was so sleepy that he just said a few words vaguely, and then fell asleep.
Xing'er naturally knew that the young general was overworked, and she didn't blame him for being perfunctory, but silently took off her armor and scrubbed her body for Chen Yan.
The day passed quickly, and night followed.
Campfires gradually lit up in Chen Yan's barracks, and from a distance, they looked like a pair of small eyes on the vast wilderness.
They didn't dare to light too many campfires, nor did they dare to light them too brightly, because the campfires at night were very likely to attract the attention of Duan Xuanjun's scouts, thus revealing their whereabouts.
After all, at this time, Chen Yanjun has reached the end of his rope, and any move that is not very good may end up losing the whole game.
At this moment, dozens of miles southeast of Chen Yan's military camp, a cavalry force of only about twenty or thirty people was rushing towards this side.
The leader was in his fifties, with a gray beard and a long face full of fortitude, and in the night wind, his majestic body exuded an inexplicable murderous aura.
"General, how far do we go?" One of the general's side asked.
"It's supposed to be ahead." The general replied lightly, then jerked his horse's hips, and slowly disappeared into the moonlit night with a group of cavalry......
