Chapter 574: King Chen Flees
Under the interference of Tu Yiren and Zhao Kexuan, Chen Xikang escaped after all, but except for Chen Xikang and the people who protected Chen Wanqing before, the Western Army, which numbered nearly 80,000, all died in Caozhou after the first battle, it was Zhang Qiling and Yinjiao, after killing countless enemies, they finally died with majesty under Dong Sikong's knife.
Caozhou fought a whole day, the whole Caozhou, especially in the west of the city under the miasma, the rich smell of blood rose to the sky, so that the hundreds of people hiding at home only felt disgusted, as for the center of the battlefield that has been bleeding like a river, countless corpses, broken swords, guns, swords, halberds scattered everywhere, people just watched from a distance, and they felt shocked, and no one dared to go.
In the West City, because there were so many people killed in the battle, blood flowed from the oars, and some streets that were not affected by the battle flowed blood.
None of the Western armies surrendered, and after the desperate battle, they also inflicted as many as 60,000 deaths on the enemy!
At the end of World War I, 130,000 people died in this city of Caozhou! And it was the death of these 130,000 warriors that suddenly made Caozhou a place of purgatory.
At this time, in Caozhou, it was to besiege Chen Xikang in Xicheng with twice the strength of the west, but under the first battle because of the desperate battle of the army in the west and suffered heavy losses, the army at this time was extremely tired, and the Baili stage and others in Caozhou were also in a heavy mood, and there was no victor posture to show.
All the plans in Caozhou went smoothly, but King Chen still fled in his mouth! Thinking of this, Baili felt ashamed when he took the stage, but he had nothing to say.
Thinking of King Chen, who had been fighting with himself and Da Sikong for so long with a red dragon in the city, although it was difficult to accept the result of his escape, Baili took the stage but had no way to refute the ferocity of his people!
Admiral Tiance, I'm afraid that only people like King Chen can enjoy such a title.
When he sighed in his heart, Baili took the stage and could only hope for Dong Sikong and his party who chased King Chen away.
Although Chen Xikang escaped smoothly under the ill-intentioned obstruction of Tu Yiren and Zhao Kexuan, knowing that his person was seriously injured, and he was unwilling to give up on him in his heart, Dong Sikong also chased him out with Zhuge Daming and Baili Changfeng.
The battle in Caozhou lasted for a day, and when there was a battle in Caozhou, the rest of Jiujiang County was also fierce, but because of Song Heng's decision, the new chip became an empty city and the reason why Chenjiagou was broken by Xiahou Zicong, within one day, Jiujiang County not only lost the new chip, but also lost Pingshui and Ruilin, but at this time I don't know what the situation in Caozhou is, Chai Fei and Lu Donkey are waiting anxiously.
In the past, the transmission speed of the shadow cabinet was extremely fast, according to the normal situation, there should have been news in Caozhou at this time, but after a whole day, no one got the news sent from Caozhou!
Thinking that Caozhou is Chen Xikang's Fulong's Cave, and thinking that Baili Dengtai and others abandoned the city from Xintuo and left, after the day's battle, Chen Ping'an and others exchanged news, and they also knew that Baili Dengtai and others could only lead the army to Caozhou!
However, night has fallen, even if they know the strategy of the Chang'an side to calculate Chen Xikang at this time, but they are powerless, and everyone can only wait, that is, Chen Ping'an, who is close to Caozhou, and after the end of the first battle, Haneda Chunfeng After the battle, he could only temporarily suppress the unwillingness in his heart and wait quietly in his own military camp.
It's just that Chen Ping'an didn't wait for any letters from Caozhou, but waited for Chen Wanqing, who looked haggard and mourned more than his heart died.
Under the leadership of Jin Jiao, after a day of hurrying, the group that had escaped with Chen Wanqing finally came to Chen Ping'an's camp.
Under the impatience in his heart, when Chen Ping'an in the handsome camp was restless, after hearing the report of the visitor, he immediately got up when his face was happy, but when he came to the camp tent and saw only a few hundred people with tired expressions, and Wanqing, who was lost and haggard at this time, his heartstrings instantly tightened.
When night fell, knowing that the battle in Caozhou must have already ended, Chen Wanqing at this time saw Chen Ping'an, only tears kept flowing down, but she couldn't say anything.
After temporarily and simply placing Chen Wanqing, Chen Ping'an was with Jin Jiao at this time, and after knowing what happened in Caozhou from Jin Jiao's mouth, Chen Ping'an felt that Chen Xikang was dead and lifeless, so he just sat in the barracks in a daze.
A group of Hanyang princesses took action against Xikang, and the troops were doubled, and they had the intention of killing Xikang, how could Xikang He De escape from such a desperate situation!
"Golden Horn, do you still have the strength to fight?" After a long while, Chen Ping'an spoke lightly.
"Sword mountain and sea of fire, my golden horn is willing to be born and die with the flag protection general!" just waiting for Chen Ping'an's words, at this time, hearing the words of the flag protection general, the golden horn was also full of ruthlessness.
In today's war, Golden Horn had no intention of surviving from the beginning!
Seeing the fierce face, a pair of golden horns that completely put life and death out of the way, thinking of Zhang Qiling and the people he carefully selected, and the brave soldiers in the west, Chen Ping'an, who was already desperate, had a trace of luck in his heart, when there were scarlet blood stains from under the gauze and a set of armor quickly put on his body, after holding Fang Tian's halberd and leaving the camp, he took the golden horn and five thousand elite soldiers towards Caozhou again.
And when the night passed, Chen Ping'an, who came to Caozhou with the golden horn, and Wang Ma, who hurried to the city for a day and a night, met unexpectedly.
The two brothers went to Caozhou, but they saw that the battle in Caozhou had ended, and with their strong cultivation, and under the chaos in Caozhou City that had just ended because of the terrible war that ended, Chen Ping'an and Wang Ma also sneaked into the city with a golden horn.
When they entered the city in the flow of people with a look of panic or nervousness, Chen Ping'an and the three of them went straight to the west city, but at this time they came to a secret place, even if they were a little far apart, but looking at the shocking scene in this city, Chen Ping'an and Wang Ma, who had been in the army for so many years and had seen countless corpses and mountains of blood, also frowned at this time because of the scene in front of them.
Looking at the battlefield being taken care of in the distance, the piles of corpses seemed to make a few people have seen the horror and bloodshed of yesterday's battle, and when they thought of the news they heard after entering the city, their hearts were still extremely heavy.
After entering the city, Chen Ping'an and the others acted separately and inquired about the news, but the news they got was varied, some people said that Chen Xikang was terrifying, summoning a huge red dragon to fight around his body, no one could get close to his body, and the red dragon was furious, and finally broke open the city gate and left.
It is also said that Chen Xikang was helped by a master, and when he escaped from the city, a terrifying person with demonic energy and sword aura in the sky helped him escape, and finally called a blood-red horse turned into a whirlwind and flew away.
However, this is only a few people's statement, after inquiring, the three of them heard the most news is that although King Chen is fierce, in the end, even after overcoming thorns and thorns in the army, broke through the city gate and fled, but in the end he was caught up by Da Sikong and others, and at this time he was already imprisoned in the prison of Caozhou, waiting to be escorted to Chang'an, and obeyed the Han Emperor!
As for the news they heard, it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false, and Chen Ping'an and the three of them could only choose to be skeptical. At such a moment, Chen Xikang did not see the slightest trace, and everything could only rely on the words of others, so it was inevitable that under the Chang'an system, Chen Ping'an and the others were not worried about chaos.
In fact, the decision of Chen Ping'an and the others was definitely smart, because Chen Xikang did not fall into the hands of Chang'an at this time, but with Dong Sikong and other terrifying pursuers behind him, the situation was also not optimistic!
Spreading the news that King Chen had been arrested in Caozhou City was just a ploy by the piano master Han Shangru under the improvisation.
Since King Chen is lost, why not confuse the truth with the false, let the West Frontier be under the trap, and cause trauma to the West again before King Chen returns to the West, this is Han Shangru's plan.
Of course, if Dong Sikong and his entourage really captured Chen Xikang, then the words spread by Han businessmen at such a time would also become the truth.
Without choosing to act rashly for the time being, Chen Ping'an and the others only temporarily retreated to Luojing, Jiangnan. However, it was not sure whether Chen Xikang had fallen into the hands of Chang'an, so everyone immediately sent people around the world to look for Chen Xikang's traces.
If Xikang really fell into the hands of Chang'an, then Chang'an would inevitably use Xikang as a threat to demand the surrender of Xichen, and it was precisely because he knew this in his heart that even if the matter of Caozhou spread in the world at a galloping speed within a day, the Xichen side still did not appear panicked.
However, the hearts of the people who were worried about Chen Xikang still couldn't calm down.
At this time, somewhere not far from Caozhou, an old monk was following a little girl with a timid expression, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
In the end, the holy monk of Huiqian did not choose to hide Pei Anran, knowing that his brother had a bloody disaster, Pei Anran also immediately asked the holy monk of Huiqian to return, but when the two rushed to Caozhou, all they saw was the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood that appeared after the first war subsided, as for Chen Xikang's traces, there is no way to know.
However, although he didn't know what Chen Xikang's whereabouts were, after Yu Cheng heard that Chen Xikang did not die in the city, but fled on a red rabbit, he also knew that there were terrifying cultivators chasing and killing his brother, Pei Anran did not go towards the yellow scarf, but ran around with Hui Qian.
If he hadn't known that he was weak and couldn't help his brother without Hui Qian, Pei Anran would have already had a clean relationship with Hui Qian at this time.
Knowing that Shen Jue was angry with himself, the holy monk of Huiqian thought about it and still didn't speak. However, when he quietly followed the angry people in front of him, thinking that King Chen of the Western Regions could even survive such a calamity, the heart of the holy monk of Huiqian also rose.
When he first saw Chen Xikang, Hui Qian knew that his death was coming, and then found that Shen Jue had a very close relationship with him, and he was afraid that Shen Jue would not be able to bear the pain of parting, so Hui Qian took Pei Anran away in advance.
But in the end, the holy monk of Hui Qian still compromised.
However, the reason why he took Pei Anran back to Caozhou at that time, the holy monk Huiqian definitely did not go to ask Chen Xikang, because he thought that Chen Xikang was already a mortal person.
And when Pei Anran wandered around aimlessly looking for Chen Xikang, at this time, in a place called Tiger Prison Pass, Chen Xikang, who had escaped almost overnight, finally got rid of the pursuers behind him temporarily, and also seized the opportunity to recuperate from the injuries on his body.
Although they were helped by Tu Yiren and Zhao Kexuan when they retreated in Caozhou, they could not openly oppose the imperial court, and the places they could help Chen Xikang were very limited, so in the end, when Dong Sikong and his party chased Chen Xikang away, the two were helpless.
However, they didn't want a person like Chen Xikang to die in their hearts, and Tu Yiren and Zhao Kexuan, who still didn't give up, didn't give up.
Considering that Zhao Kexuan is rigid, too straightforward and does not know how to be flexible, if he is allowed to follow everyone, maybe he will not be able to help Chen Xikang, and will add fuel to Chen Xikang's fire, Tu Yiren and Zhao Kexuan finally split into two ways, Zhao Kexuan went back to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and used the power of the sect's disciples to find and help Chen Xikang in the world, and Zhao Kexuan was also responsible for going to Jiangnan to tell Chen Ping'an and others the direction of Chen Xikang's escape.
As for Tu Yiren, after following Dong Sikong and the others alone, he is still cautiously following behind everyone, and considering that Chen Xikang's injuries are terrifying after the death battle, and there are many inconveniences under the weak strength, Tu Yiren carefully searched for Chen Xikang's traces, and at the same time also spread the order to find Chen Xikang in the Demon Sect.
However, in order to prevent some people in the family who were bewitched by the imperial court and were deluded with evil towards Chen Xikang, their good intentions would backfire, and the order spread by Tu Yiren was a bit tactful.
After returning to the Heavenly Sword Sect and using his brain a little bit on matters other than the way of the sword, Zhao Kexuan also spread the news of looking for Chen Xikang in the sect, and because he was warned by Tu Yiren, he had just returned to the sect and carefully spread the order, at this time, Zhao Kexuan had already appeared in Luojing Luo City under the rush of cultivation.
And with the arrival of Zhao Kexuan, a group of panicked people finally felt a lot more relieved, and their actions were not so cramped.
But no matter what, it is understandable that Chen Xikang is now seriously injured and on the run, so the most important thing at the moment is to find Chen Xikang.
However, when there are too many people looking for Chen Xikang, some people who are looking for it with good intentions even change their minds because of the sudden conditions, and Chen Xikang, who is running around the world, is like a frightened bird, and he doesn't dare to believe people!
Three days after the incident in Caozhou, when the matter of the first battle in Caozhou and various rumors spread instantly, Chen Xikang suddenly became the most concerned person in the world, and after hearing about the incident of Caozhou just after helping Chen Xikang capture Ruilin, Xia Chunqiu also secretly joined the pursuit of Chen Xikang!
However, in the troubled times of the world, when people are all discussing Chen Xikang's affairs, in the Valley of the Kings, an unknown bloody storm is about to set off!
