Chapter 160: Catch the Mole
Although Song Zhong is stupid, he can always speak amazingly at critical moments. His kung fu is truly staggering.
Sure enough, after Song Zhong's question, Chen Yan, Xu Rong, and Guo Jia were all stunned, and then Chen Yan immediately stood up, didn't care about patting the dust on his body, and said: "By the way, let's immediately sort out the soldiers and horses and go to the front to support General Huang Zhong!" ”
It's a pity that Chen Yan just stood up, and suddenly felt dizzy in his head, and then stumbled under his feet, and almost fell again.
Xu Rong hurriedly helped Chen Yan and said, "Lord, your body is weak, stay here to rest first!" ”
Chen Yan shook his head again and again and said, "Absolutely not." Today, we have been ambushed and many brothers have been injured, if I can't rescue General Huang Zhong in person, how can I rest assured?! ”
Xu Rong saw that Chen Yan had made up his mind, so he had to say: "Then please help the last general to help you get on the horse!" ”
Chen Yan nodded, and with Xu Rong's support, he slowly climbed onto the war horse. It's a pity that Chen Yan was seriously out of strength at this time, and although he got on the horse, he still felt that he couldn't focus on his whole body.
Guo Jia saw it in his eyes and whispered to Song Zhong: "Old Song, you follow the lord closely, don't let the lord fall off the horse." ”
Song Zhong has followed Chen Yan for a long time, and he has never seen Chen Yan look so embarrassed. In his heart, Chen Yan has always been energetic, but now he has suddenly become this sick look, Song Zhong can't help but feel very uncomfortable in his heart.
But it was uncomfortable to be uncomfortable, and Song Zhong still took the order to step forward and take a good look at Chen Yan.
After making proper arrangements, Chen Yan rested his soldiers and horses, seized the time, and continued to move forward.
At this time, Lu Bu's ambush had retreated, and the shadow of the enemy could no longer be seen in the valley. Thinking about it, Lu Bu was worried about the lack of troops, but he still didn't dare to fight Chen Yan hard. Although this ambush of Lu Bu severely damaged Chen Yan, Chen Yan still had an advantage in terms of total strength, which shows that although Lu Bu was brave, he was not completely unscrupulous.
The army walked half a mile, and suddenly Lao Song pointed to the hillside in front of him and shouted: "Look! There is also Lu Bu's army there! ”
Everyone followed the prestige, only to see that the banners on the hillside were scattered, and a group of soldiers were scattering and fleeing, the number of them was about two thousand, and they were indeed Lu Bu's ambush soldiers.
Chen Yan frowned and thought, "This Lu Bu's ambush looks like a group of dragons without a leader, what the hell is going on?" Where is General Huang Zhong? ”
After walking forward for a while, I saw corpses all over the field, and they were all Huang Zhong's cavalry troops. Previously, Huang Zhong's vanguard encountered an ambush of falling rocks, which were huge and extremely lethal, and it seemed that Huang Zhong's troops had suffered too serious losses, and there were not many survivors left.
When Chen Yan was checking himself, he suddenly greeted from the front, and saw more than a thousand cavalry pouring out of the valley, rushing towards Chen Yan on horseback. Chen Yan looked closely, and saw that they were all Huang Zhong's soldiers.
Chen Yan looked at it for a long time, but he never found Huang Zhong, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and asked repeatedly: "What about Huang Zhong?" What about your chiefs? ”
One of the cavalrymen in front heard the question and pointed to the hillside.
Chen Yan looked at the gesture, only to see that there was a commotion in the Lu Bu army, and after a while, several cavalry suddenly rushed out! The first person was covered in blood red, holding a golden big knife, and the war horse under his crotch roared like a dragon, it turned out to be Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng!
I saw Huang Zhong's long knife flying, bringing a rain of blood everywhere he went, and no one could stop him! More than 1,000 soldiers of Lu Bujun's army have become local chickens and dogs in front of Huang Zhong!
Chen Yan was surprised and asked the sergeant, "Why did General Huang Zhong go to the battle alone?" ”
The sergeant hurriedly told Chen Yan how Huang Zhong had beheaded Cheng Lian and how he had rushed into the battle formation of Lu Bu's ambush. When Chen Yan and the rest of the people heard this, they all looked frightened, and praised repeatedly: "General Huang Zhong is really a celestial!" ”
But after all, Huang Zhong is alone, no matter how strong his ability is, these more than 1,000 people are against him, I am afraid that he will be in danger of exhaustion sooner or later. As soon as Chen Yan gave the order, the three armies agitated, and rushed towards the hillside.
Chen Yan just ran a few steps, and suddenly felt that it was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything in an instant, and then his thighs twitched, and his body shook, and he was about to fall off the horse.
Song Zhong hurriedly galloped up, supported Chen Yan, and shouted repeatedly: "Leader, leader!" You okay! ”
Chen Yan only felt that Song Zhong's big hand was holding him, but he still couldn't grasp his balance, his eyes were still without vision, and his ears were buzzing, and he opened his mouth to reply, but found that he couldn't make a sound in his throat......
Seeing this, Guo Jia immediately came over and said, "Lord, you might as well dismount and rest for a while, these enemy troops, General Xu Rong can take care of them." ”
Chen Yan knew that what Guo Jia said was good, so he nodded reluctantly, and was helped off his horse by Song Zhong.
It can be seen that the move "Yellow Sky descends to the world, Ze is born", which consumed a lot of Chen Yan's physical strength.
Chen Yan found a secluded place, slowly sat on the stone, and looked from a distance, only to see Xu Rong's lineup neat, and it didn't take long to completely break away Lu Bu's ambush, and then converge with Huang Zhong.
Chen Yan asked Guo Jia in a low voice: "Fengxiao, how many brothers did we lose in this battle?" ”
Guo Jia frowned, and slowly responded: "Lord, let's bring out 120,000 people, but now there are only about 60,000 or 70,000 left......
Chen Yan was shocked when he heard this: "What? What a loss of so many brothers! ”
Guo Jia nodded and said: "My lord, I don't see this valley, there are corpses all over the field, and I almost want to block the mountain road......"
Chen Yan beat his chest and said: "I didn't expect that we would be unfavorable, and we suffered such a tragic loss before we arrived in Chang'an!" Brothers follow me Chen Yan, I wanted to make a contribution, but I didn't expect to bury my bones here, I, Chen Yan, am a sinner! ”
Guo Jia saw that Chen Yan was sad, and hurriedly persuaded: "This has been the case since ancient times, lord, it's no wonder you." The real culprit of this defeat is the traitor in our army, and if we want to avenge our brothers, we will definitely bring the traitor to justice. ”
Chen Yan nodded again and again when he heard this. At this time, Xu Rong finally killed Lu Bu's ambush soldiers and successfully rescued Huang Zhong.
Huang Zhong and Xu Rong rushed to Chen Yan together, and the two intersected, both of which were very pleased.
Although many soldiers were lost in this battle, fortunately, there were no casualties among the generals, which was really a blessing in misfortune.
Huang Zhong was panting and covered in blood, Chen Yan hurriedly asked, "General Hansheng, have you ever been injured?" ”
Huang Zhong smiled slightly and said, "How can this group of shafts hurt me?" After that, he untied the head of Cheng Lian from his waist and said: "Lord, the thief Cheng Lian has been killed by me, which can be regarded as comforting the souls of the brothers in the sky!" ”
Chen Yan was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately said: "In the future, if we take Chang'an, we will not forget General Hansheng's merits today!" ”
Huang Zhong arched his hand and replied, "The last general is grateful!" ”
Xu Rong reorganized his soldiers and horses, stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what should we do next?" ”
This question really stopped Chen Yan. Chen Yan's group originally went to attack Chang'an. Unexpectedly, the soldiers were halfway through, but Lu Bu seized the opportunity and killed a solid one. Now it is really difficult to choose whether to advance or retreat.
Chen Yan was thinking about it, and Guo Jia suddenly said: "Lord, I think that our top priority is to chase Li Su. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chen Yan and the others suddenly realized! Not bad! The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. Li Su escorted the grain and grass and was rushing to Chang'an through another path. Chen Yan's side was ambushed by Lu Bu, and Li Su's side was probably also unlucky!
Xu Rong said: "What the military advisor said is good, since Lu Bu knows that we are going to Chang'an from this path and set up an ambush, then I am afraid that General Li Su will also have an ambush, let's go over quickly and support General Li Su!" ”
Chen Yan nodded and said: "Yes, we must hurry up to protect the grain and grass, if the grain and grass are robbed by Lu Bu, we will lose this battle!" ”
At this moment, Guo Jia suddenly shook his head and said, "No, let's go to Li Su, not to protect the grain and grass, let alone to support Li Su." ”
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Guo Jia say this, and at the same time looked at Guo Jia and asked in unison, "What are you going to do?" ”
Guo Jia sighed and said, "Aren't you still clear? Let's go to Li Su to recapture the grain and grass......"
Chen Yan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he asked, "Fengxiao, what do you mean by this?" ”
Guo Jia said: "Lord, I know that you have a deep friendship with Li Su, but all these signs show that the real traitor is Li Su!" ”
After saying this, not only Chen Yan, but the entire army trembled! Everyone's face showed a look of surprise, as if to say: nonsense!
Li Su and Chen Yan first got acquainted, and they have lived and died together countless times, whether it is exploring treasures in ancient tombs or escaping from Chang'an, Li Su has always been by Chen Yan's side, and now Guo Jia suddenly deduced that Li Su is a traitor, Chen Yan is naturally difficult to accept!
Chen Yan looked at Guo Jia, shook his head heavily, and said: "Impossible, my fat brother has a deep affection for me, and has never betrayed me, when I found out with him that Gao Shun is a member of the Danding Sect, Lu Bu lost trust in him, and even killed him, how could he be Lu Bu's spy!" ”
Xu Rong also said in a loud voice: "Yes, military advisor, let's analyze and discuss just now, didn't we say that the traitor may be Xing'er?" How could it be General Li Su! ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "No, although Xing'er came strangely, she didn't know about our use of troops. There is only one person in our army who understands the military situation and has a close relationship with Lu Bu, Li Su! ”
Chen Yan shook his head again and again, and said, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it, if Li Su and Lu Bu are in the same group, why did they save me in the prison in the first place!?" ”
Guo Jia said: "I asked General Xu Rong just now, when the lord was just thrown into the prison, General Xu Rong began to gather soldiers to rescue the lord. I think that after discussing with Lu Bu and Li Su, they thought that with their troops, they could not stop General Xu Rong at all, so Li Su successfully gained the trust of the lord under the pretense of rescuing the lord, and then led the lord and General Xu Rong out of Chang'an, avoiding a fight. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Rong and Chen Yan both had solemn faces, and seemed to be persuaded by Guo Jia's words.
Guo Jia continued: "The reason why Li Su followed the lord was for Lu Bu to contain the lord, hoping that when there was an opportunity in the future, he would get in the way and help Lu Bu eradicate the lord in one fell swoop. ”
When Chen Yan and Xu Rong heard this, they were shocked, could it be that the person they had always trusted the most was really a traitor?
