Chapter 254: Reluctant to give up the people
Wang Shan stood up, holding the meteor hammer tightly with one hand, although he knew that he would definitely die, but he didn't want to be slaughtered so easily.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually approached, and Wang Shan suddenly saw a familiar figure. (Starter)
Jet-black horses, silver armor, a halberd, a general.
It was his lord, Chen Yan, who came.
"Lord...... Lord? Wang Shan seemed a little panicked and didn't know what to say.
Chen Yan's eyes are like autumn rivers, deep and calm, and there is no joy or anger at all.
"How? How many enemies have you killed in this battle? Chen Yan's tone was as calm as his eyes, and it was impossible to guess.
"Lord...... Small...... The little one has only cut seven, you can kill me! After saying this, Wang Dan knelt on the ground with a puff.
Wang Shan knew that he would definitely die, in fact, he had betrayed his brother before, Wang Shan had already committed a capital crime, Chen Yan gave him a chance, but unfortunately he didn't seize it. Now facing such a fate, although he is unwilling, he has no complaints.
At this moment, suddenly Wang Shan only felt that the black shadow flashed in front of him, and it seemed that something fell in front of him, Wang Shan was slightly stunned, looked up, and saw three heads rolling on the ground in front of him.
"This ...... This is? Wang Dan didn't know why, and stared at Chen Yan blankly.
"I'll lend you these three for the time being, but I want you to repay them a hundred times in the future." Chen Yan looked at Wang Dan and suddenly smiled slightly.
"Lord...... Lord? Wang Shan looked at Chen Yan and burst into tears again, "You...... You...... The small, the small ones go to the soup and the fire, and do cows and horses! Wang Shan doesn't know any words, he only knows these words that others are used to.
"Okay, let's hurry up, Brother Xiahou will come in a while, and it won't be easy for us to do it." Chen Yan didn't say much, turned his horse's head, and walked towards the army in front.
Wang Shan slowly stood up, looked at the three heads on the ground, and touched the seven on his waist, and suddenly felt as if he had regained his life.
"Lord...... No wonder the brothers say that you are a Heavenly Master...... Now, I really believe it. ”
……
Chen Yan led the people, and the speed of the march was only about one-fifth of the usual, and Xiahou Yuan has always been known for his fast marching, so if this continues, I am afraid that Chen Yan will have absolutely no hope of successfully reaching Luoyang with the people.
But the houses and homes of these people were all burned by Chen Yan, and the people did not complain when they burned, and now if Chen Yan gives up these people in order to escape for his life, won't he become a beast?
When night came, Chen Yan looked up at the sky and saw a sky full of stars, brilliant and dazzling.
"My lord, are you worried about being caught up by the enemy?" Zhang Xiu came over at this time, and he was also well aware of Chen Yan's sorrow.
Chen Yan nodded and said, "Just now the scout came to report that Xiahou Yuan was stationed in Wancheng, but Xiahou Yuan had already set off. ”
When Zhang Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked: "So fast? Are we going to run for our lives overnight? ”
Chen Yan shook his head and said: "How can the people withstand such a toss, they have been running for two days, and they all have sores on their feet, now it's not that I don't want to rush to the night, but they really can't walk." ”
Zhang Xiu thumped his chest and sighed: "Oops! How so! Or, why don't we go back and fight them? ”
Chen Yan shook his head again and said: "Now after this battle, not to mention that our troops have about fifty percent left, even your Han Feng battalion and General Huang Zhong's eight thousand iron cavalry have been severely damaged, your two teams are my trump cards now, I really don't want these two troops to fold here." ”
Zhang Xiu listened to this, and finally knew that what Chen Yan said was good.
His own Hanfeng battalion has gone through rounds of battles, not to mention that the soldiers are tired at this time, even if it is a spirited Hanfeng battalion, it is very difficult to deal with a commander of the level of Xiahou Yuan. Although Huang Zhong's eight thousand iron horses are elite, they are all piled up with money, and the equipment and excellent war horses are very expensive. In addition to these, how much effort did the Han Feng Battalion and the Eight Thousand Iron Cavalry take Chen Yan and the two commanders, and it is even more indescribable, until the time of last resort, the jade must not be burned.
Chen Yan looked at the sky speechlessly, and sighed faintly.
At this moment, Huang Zhong also held a big bow and walked over.
Zhang Xiu patted Huang Zhong on the shoulder, with a helpless face, he didn't expect that before he could think about getting out of the Tiger Prison, he was pressed and beaten to death by Cao Cao outside the gate.
"Lord, if I don't know the day, I will pick out a team of dead soldiers to stop Xiahou Yuan here!" Huang Zhong said.
Chen Yan looked at Huang Zhong, whose beard and hair were already more white and less black, and thought in his heart: "Alas, this old general beheaded Xiahou Yuan in a battle that is also the story of Dingjun Mountain many years later, and I don't know if the old general Huang Zhong is Xiahou Yuan's nemesis in his fate......"
But Chen Yan said: "Don't be like this, we are all brothers, how can I leave you alone in the rear?" ”
Huang Zhong said: "But are these tens of thousands of people going to die here? ”
Chen Yan shook his head and said: "The people naturally can't die with me, it's a big deal that when Xiahou Yuan comes, let's stay and fight together, let the people go first, how far they can go, whether they can survive, it depends on their creation." ”
Huang Zhong glared anxiously and said: "We are all soldiers of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao forced us like this, doesn't he have Wang Fa and the Son of Heaven in his mind?!" ”
Chen Yan smiled slightly and said, "Do you know what Cao Cao said about me outside? ”
Huang Zhong and Zhang Xiu both shook their heads and said, "I don't know ......."
Chen Yan said: "Cao Cao's guy is really insidious, and he even spread rumors everywhere, saying that I am the remnant of the Yellow Turban Sect, and I relied on the demon law to bewitch the current son, and he is helping the Son of Heaven to eradicate the traitors." ”
Speaking of this, Chen Yan put his hands behind his back again, looking up at the night sky, with a pair of eyes that were indescribably lonely and sad.
Zhang Xiu stomped his feet and scolded: "This grandson ...... It's so bloody?! Do the people outside believe even this? ”
Chen Yan smiled bitterly and said: "The princes of the world are like this, pretending to be confused, no one is willing to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven, so he said that the Son of Heaven was confused by the traitors around him, and the orders he gave were all insincere, and they were all countless. And the person closest to the emperor must be a traitor, and he wants to kill him quickly! ”
The more Zhang Xiu listened, the more angry he became, and said angrily: "In that case, then why are we still staying with the emperor?" Such a hot potato, just throw it to Cao Cao! Let's just go out of the customs and kill them upside down! ”
