Chapter 267: Take the Green Sword Away
Cao Cao looked at Zhao Yun, and thought of Xu Shu, another genius under Liu Bei, with his qualifications, he would not be much worse than Guo Jia, but it was a pity that he was discovered by Liu Bei first, and he was loyal to Liu Bei, which is really a pity, and now Zhao Yun in front of him is also a rare talent, and he is bound to use him for himself.
But Zhao Yun's martial arts skills far exceeded everyone's imagination, even if dozens of generals joined the battle, but there was still no way to take Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun was like a wall that prevented the Han army from advancing half a step.
Zhao Yun did not pay all his attention to the enemy army at this time, but paid attention to the carriage in the rear, and at this time, seeing that the carriage had gone away, he was also relieved, and after sweeping back the Han army in the front row, he immediately turned around and chased after the carriage, and quickly threw the Han army away from the distance.
However, before Zhao Yun could join the carriage, a small group of Liu Bei's cavalry ran from the side, and hurriedly said to Zhao Yun: "General, the big thing is not good, the two young ladies of the lord were intercepted by the tiger and leopard cavalry when they retreated, and the soldiers who protected the young lady have been killed, and the young ladies have also been taken captive, what should we do now?"
Zhao Yun was immediately anxious when he heard this, and immediately said: "This is trouble, I will go and recover the young ladies, you escort the carriage in front of you to cross the river quickly, the carriage is carrying Mrs. Gan and Gongzi, they must not make a mistake." ”
The cavalry received Zhao Yun's order and immediately chased in the direction of the carriage, while Zhao Yun rushed in the direction given by the cavalry and reappeared in Cao Cao's field of vision.
Cao Cao felt very strange at this time, Zhao Yun had obviously gotten rid of the pursuers, why did he turn back again? and hurried in a certain direction, he simply didn't take the Han army in his eyes, he came when he wanted, and left when he wanted.
Xia Houen saw everything that happened in his eyes, saw Zhao Yun appear in the field of vision, and quickly disappeared into the crowd, and suddenly thought of a good plan, thinking that Zhao Yun would definitely not appear here, he could use the excuse of chasing him to leave with the Qingyu Sword, and then pretend to be missing on the battlefield, so that no one would be suspicious, and he could take the Qingyu Sword smoothly, and then he could always follow Zhang Xiao to practice immortal arts.
Xia Houen thought of his plan, and whispered to Cao Cao: "Brother, this Zhao Yun's martial arts skills are very powerful, and my hands are a little itchy when I see them, it is better to let me meet him, I have learned some Taoist skills during this time, and it should be effective to deal with him." ”
Cao Cao saw that Xia Houen did not call himself by his official title, and knew that Xia Houen really wanted to do this, but he did not refuse, feeling that Xia Houen was young and young, and he had never been by his side and could not get any military merits, so it was better to give him a chance, and he was more sympathetic to his strength, so he could rest assured, so he agreed to his request.
Cao Cao cautiously reminded Xia Houen: "The situation here is very chaotic now, you must be careful, maybe you will encounter an ambush, if you can't beat it, don't be reluctant, life is the most important thing." ”
Xia Houen also cautiously agreed to Cao Cao, and then drove his horse to the place where Zhao Yun disappeared, and soon disappeared into Cao Cao's field of vision, but Cao Cao would not know that Xia Houen would not come back after this trip.
After Xia Houen rode out of the distance, he turned his face and found that in addition to the refugees, he could no longer see the shadow of the Han army, and he finally brought out the Qingyu Sword, so that he could leave without realizing it, and now what he needs to do is to find a remote place where there is no one, and then sneak back to Xuchang to join Zhang Xiao, so that he can enter the world of cultivating immortals with peace of mind.
But there are so many refugees here that it's hard to find a secluded place, so you have to ride farther afield, but the roads and mountains here are full of refugees, and it's not easy.
After riding for a long time, Xia Houen found that the refugees around him had finally decreased, and he was much more relieved, as long as he rode farther, he would have a chance to leave, but at this time, Xia Houjie ran over from the side, which made Xia Houen a little unbelievable, remembering that he was still in Dangyang City not long ago, how did he get here now?
Xia Houjie had already seen Xia Houen in the distance, and finally saw one of his own, so he hurriedly rode over to him, and when he came to a close place, he immediately said with pleasure: "Ziyun, why are you here? There are many Liu Beijun's soldiers in front, and it is really enjoyable to kill, but unfortunately I didn't meet any generals, otherwise I would have been able to hang a string of heads." ”
Xia Houen didn't doubt Xia Houjie's ability at all, but he didn't want to meet him here now, so he asked, "You were still in Dangyang County just now, why did you come here now?"
Xia Houjie wiped his face with sweat and replied: "This is thanks to those refugees, after I was washed away by the refugees, I happened to meet a group of Liu Bei soldiers who had evacuated the protection materials, all of them followed them out of the city, chased them here, and just killed them all, it's really enjoyable, but it would be nice if there were more people." ”
After Xia Houjie finished speaking, he saw that Xia Houen was alone here at this time, and asked curiously: "But why are you here, as the prime minister's guard, it is understandable that the others are separated, but you can't explain it a little, did you take the opportunity to break away from the army and make some military exploits without authorization?"
Xia Houen suddenly felt that something was wrong, Xia Houjie was a person who knew him very well, and it would definitely not work to find a random reason to fool him, so he said: "I still need to ask, I ...... I'm here, of course...... Of course, I came to pick you up, the prime minister felt that you might be rushed to Zhao Yun by the refugees, and you were on par with him in strength, what danger might you encounter, so you naturally need someone to pick you up, and your family can't make any mistakes. ”
Xiahou Jie was still a little skeptical at this time, and asked, "Is this really the case? Among our group, there are more than ten generals of our Xiahou family alone, how could they send you? Is there anything special about you?"
Xia Houen saw that Xiahou Jie believed it a little, so it would be easy to do, so he said confidently: "It stands to reason that they will not send me, but you must know that as the prime minister's guard, I have almost no chance to make war achievements, and the prime minister is very safe now, and it is not difficult to find you, so the prime minister agreed that I came out to find you." ”
As soon as he mentioned his military exploits, Xia Houjie believed Xia Houen's words, and the things that asked for war on the battlefield were very ordinary, even if it was a matter of transporting soldiers or cooking soldiers, it was not uncommon, so he believed Xia Houen's reason.
However, looking at Xiahouen's current appearance, he obviously did not participate in the battle, let alone any combat exploits, Xiahoujie didn't want his good brother to return empty-handed, so he said: "After my observation, Liu Bei is now retreating to the other side of the river, and the only way to cross the river is the bridge of Changbanpo and the shallow water area upstream, presumably a large number of enemy troops have gathered there, and we are now closest to the upstream position, and we will definitely gain something from going there." ”
Xia Houen smiled a few times at Xia Houjie, going there means that he will meet a large number of soldiers and refugees, which is not what he wants to meet, but he can't help it, and said: "This is great, I can finally make some achievements, then let's hurry over." ”
Xiahoujie rushed to the upper reaches of the river with more interest, while Xiahouen followed closely uncertainly, not knowing when he would be able to leave quietly, but it didn't take long for the two to encounter a small group of their own cavalry that was separated from the army on the way forward, which made Xiahouen even more headache.
It was even more difficult for people to leave, and Xia Houen could only take one step at a time, and it didn't take long to see a team of Liu Bei soldiers who were escorting supplies to the shallow water area, and suddenly became anxious, and said to Xia Houjie: "Qilin, this team of soldiers is estimated to be about 100 people, your martial arts skills are so superb, I don't know if you can fight a hundred with one enemy." ”
Xia Houjie was very unhappy when he heard that Xia Houen was doubting whether he could fight against more than 100 people, and he could only deal with 100 people, and how to do the commander of the three armies, and said angrily: "With one enemy and 100 people, with my force, even 10,000 people are not my opponents, don't help this time, see me clean them up alone." ”
So Xiahou Jie rushed towards the enemy army without looking back, and soon fought with the enemy, but he was not at a disadvantage, but the enemy couldn't take a shot from Xiahou Jie, it seems that it won't take long for this team to be wiped out because of Xiahou Jie.
Xia Houen rushed to Xia Houjie's position with the rest of the cavalry, although Xia Hou Jie has been slaughtering, but it will take some time to destroy all the enemies, Xia Houen only needs to get rid of the cavalry behind him and leave
