Three Kingdoms King of the North

After Guo Si heard this, he frowned and thought about it, it was indeed the case.He nodded and said, "What you said is very true, so what should we do?"

"It's very simple, break out of the camp immediately, and go to join General Zhiran." Jia Xu sneered and said, "If the generals of the Han family's cavalry are eager to find the Han family's children, we might as well help them, so that on Huangquan Road, their masters and servants can also Be a companion."

"Since Mr. said so, I will immediately break out of the camp and rush to join Zhiran." After Guo Si finished speaking, he stood up and said to the outside: "Come here!"

Following Guo Bang's shout, a military Sima came in and bowed to salute.Guo Bang ordered him to say: "Send the order, the whole army packs up immediately, prepares to leave the camp and set off, and go to join General Zhiran."

Chapter 226

The scheme of Huang Zhong and the cavalry governor was seen through by the scheming Jia Xu, but they didn't know it. They took the cavalry who had won a big victory and went south along the official road to find Han Zhan's whereabouts.

When going south along the official road, the cavalry governor said to Huang Zhong: "Lieutenant Huang, do you and I divide our troops into two groups, and each lead a group of troops to search for the lord?"

Huang Zhong did not hesitate to deny this proposal of the cavalry governor: "No way! We don't have many soldiers and horses. If we disperse more, once we encounter bandits who are powerful, we will be defeated one by one. We Just search along the official road, I think I will be able to find the trace of the lord."

Regarding Huang Zhong's decision, the cavalry governor did not dare to object, and quickly agreed, leading five hundred elite cavalry to open the way ahead, trying his best to find Han Zhan's whereabouts.

Besides, Xu Huang, who was chasing and killing Han Zhan, led two thousand soldiers and horses to pursue along the official road, until he reached the revolving door, but still did not see Han Zhan.The guard inside the pass saw a soldier coming from outside, so he quickly sent someone out to ask about the origin of the other party.After learning that the other party was the subordinate of Li Jue and Guo Si, he immediately ordered the door to be opened to welcome Xu Huang and the others to enter.

Xu Huang came to the guard's mansion, and after the guests and hosts were seated, he explained his background to the other party, and then asked, "I don't know if anyone has passed through this gate recently?"

"No, absolutely not." The guard waited for Xu Huang to finish speaking, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said repeatedly: "In the past two days, except for the local people, there is absolutely no outsider passing through the pass."

Although the guard had already made it very clear, Xu Huang still asked worriedly: "General, if you recall carefully again, is it true that no one has passed through this pass?"

Hearing that Xu Huang suspected that he was lying, the guard felt very uncomfortable, but since the other party was a subordinate of Li and Guo, he could only patiently say: "According to your Excellency, that person is from Jizhou. Then If he wants to escape, he is also fleeing to the north, how could he flee south to this insurmountable pass?"

"He was defeated that day, so he came towards the south." Without getting Han Zhan's whereabouts, Xu Huang's heart was still not at ease. He said, "There is only one road from the Yellow River to here, and we didn't see anyone along the way." , did they grow wings and fly away?"

Seeing that Xu Huang still didn't believe him, the guard analyzed to him: "You once said that after they were defeated, there were only a dozen or so people left. Nothing was found along the way."

Xu Huang's doubts were finally cleared up by the guard's explanation.He hurriedly stood up and apologized to the other party: "General, Xu was offended just now, please don't take offense!"

"No problem, no problem!" The guard waved his hand at Xu Huang, and said to him, "The general and the soldiers will rest overnight in the pass, and we will go back to search carefully in the next day, maybe we can find some clues."

Xu Huang led his two thousand cavalry back along the official road the next day, carefully searching both sides of the road to see if he could find any traces of Han Zhan and his party.

At the same time, Han Zhan took his [-] horsemen and after all kinds of hardships, he finally left the mountains and headed north along the official road towards the Yellow River.Captain Qin kept muttering about Han Zhan's decision, and finally couldn't help expressing his doubts to Han Zhan: "My lord, if we walk on the official road so swaggeringly, if we encounter bandits , but what should we do? There are only a dozen of us, so we might not be their opponents."

Han Zhan didn't know how dangerous it was to walk on the official road, but there was no way. If he wanted to get out of the danger as soon as possible, he had to make a decisive decision, use the official road, rush to the Yellow River as soon as possible, and find a way to cross the river.

As he was walking, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on Captain Qin's face. He raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Stop, stop!" Hold the reins.Captain Qin got off his horse at the head of the horse, fell on the ground and listened for a while, and said to Han Zhan, "My lord, there are cavalry coming from the north and south sides of the official road. We are now facing enemies, what should we do next?"

Hearing that there were soldiers and horses coming from both sides, Han Zhan couldn't help being frightened into a cold sweat. He quickly looked around and saw a small hill on the left side of the road, so he ordered: "Everyone hide behind the small hill."

The crowd immediately rushed to the woods behind the hill. Han Zhan turned over and got off the horse, leaving two cavalry guarding the horses in the forest. He led the rest to the top of the hill and lay down on the ground before the officials. Look around on the road.

After about a stick of incense, first a cavalry appeared on the official road to the south, and a flag was fluttering in the wind. It took Han Zhan a long time to identify it before he recognized the word "Xu" written on it.Captain Qin said to Han Zhan in a low voice: "My lord, this army has been chasing us for the past two days. It seems that they have just returned from the revolving door. Fortunately, we have been wandering around in the mountains. Go to the revolving door, or there is no escape now."

"Quiet." When Han Zhan saw the endless cavalry team on the official road, he felt hairy. He was worried that Qin Dui's voice would be heard by people with sharp ears, so he quickly stopped him: "Don't talk, Lest our hiding place be noticed by them."

Xu Huang brought the soldiers and horses to the vicinity of the hill, raised his hand to stop the soldiers and horses, and a cavalryman Dubo came over and said to him: "General, we have come all the way, but we have not seen any traces of people, some of them Not here at all?"

Xu Huang didn't speak, but looked towards the hill where Han Zhan and the others were hiding.Although he didn't see Han Zhan at all, he didn't know what happened. He always felt that there was someone behind the hill, so he told the Dubo: "Take a team of people and go behind the hill to see if there is anyone there. Soldiers and horses from the Han family." Du Bo agreed, and led more than twenty cavalrymen, rode their horses and rushed towards the location of the hill.

Seeing a cavalry rushing towards him, Han Zhan's heart rose in his throat.Qin Dui, who was lying next to him, was even more anxious, and asked repeatedly: "My lord, the bandit soldiers came over after speaking, what should we do?"

It is impossible to meet the enemy, Han Zhan said silently in his heart: What can be done now is to use 36 tactics as the best strategy.Having made up his mind, he hurriedly said to the crowd: "There are so many thieves and soldiers, we'd better move quickly."

The cavalry led by Du Bo came very quickly. As soon as Han Zhan and others came down from the hill, before they had time to catch their breath, he rushed into the woods with the cavalry.Seeing Han Zhan and others who were about to mount their horses, his eyes lit up immediately, he pointed at Han Zhan with the spear in his hand, and said triumphantly to his subordinates: "The general will reward you a lot if you catch the Han family's child. Brothers, come with me!"

Seeing his whereabouts and being discovered by the cavalry, Han Zhan knew that running away blindly would only make him die faster.He gritted his teeth and made up his mind suddenly. He drew out his sword, pointed at the cavalry rushing forward, and said loudly: "If you want to live, kill them all!"

Shibaqi knew very well in his heart that if this group of cavalry was allowed to escape, thousands of cavalry from outside would flood in, and then he would die without a place to bury him.Especially seeing Han Zhan waving his sword, leading the charge, and waving his weapon, he rode his horse and chased after him.

Han Zhan, who was charging forward on his horse, suddenly saw a spear coming towards him, and quickly turned his head to the side to avoid it.With a backhand sword, the cavalrymen with spears were cut off from their horses.

In the case of equal numbers, Xu Huang's cavalry suffered a disadvantage in fighting because they did not have stirrups and horseshoes.After the first confrontation between the two sides ended, seven of Xu Huang's cavalry fell, while only two of Han Zhan's fell.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Bo quickly ordered a cavalry back to report the news.Life was at stake. How could Han Zhan let the other party escape alive? He quickly ordered Team Qin to lead two cavalrymen to chase after him, and he must put the man to death.

Seeing that his escape route was cut off, Du Bo decided to fight Han Zhan to the death. He shouted, and rushed towards Han Zhan with a spear in his hand.Han Zhan only had a sword in his hand, and he was at a disadvantage against a long weapon like a spear. After only five or six rounds, he gradually lost the upper hand.

Seeing that Han Zhan was a little helpless, Uncle Du couldn't help being overjoyed, and swung the spear in his hand even faster.Just when he stabbed at Han Zhan, he suddenly saw that the other party turned his body to one side, dodged his spear, and reached out to grab the shaft of the spear, so that he could not retract the spear.

Han Zhan grabbed the spear shaft, put the sword in his hand on the spear shaft and wiped it up, and Du Bo let out a scream, and all ten of his fingers were cut off by the sword.Han Zhan took the opportunity to grab the spear, and sent the sword in his hand forward, piercing the opponent's throat directly.

When Han Zhan and Du Bo were dueling, the rest of the cavalry had killed Xu Huang's subordinates, and when they were about to come to help Han Zhan, they saw him stab Du Bo under the horse.

Xu Huang saw that Du Bo led people into the back of the hill, and there was no movement for a long time, so he couldn't help feeling suspicious.He called another team leader and told him: "Take a team and go behind the hill to see why Dubo and the others haven't come back."

Just when the team leader was about to leave, he suddenly noticed a slight tremor on the ground. According to his experience, it was a cavalry approaching here.He couldn't help but turned pale in shock and said to Xu Huang: "General, it seems that a cavalry is coming towards us."

Hearing what the team leader said, Xu Huang still didn't take it seriously: "It's from the north. It must be the soldiers of Generals Li and Guo. Don't worry. You go to the hill and search it quickly to see why. Du Bo is silent."

"General, it's not good." A sharp-eyed cavalry saw the cavalry coming from the north, with a big "yellow" written on the flag. He had fought with Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses before, so he naturally knew that he was coming. It was not his own people, so he quickly shouted at Xu Huang: "It's the cavalry of the Han family." Hearing that it was the cavalry of the Han family, Xu Huang didn't care about sending people to the back of the hill, but ordered the cavalry to line up, ready to meet the cavalry. enemy.

Huang Zhong saw a cavalry line up in front of him from a distance, and quickly ordered the troops to slow down, forming a row of 40 men, ready to attack the opponent.The cavalry from both sides quickly collided, and a big melee broke out.

Xu Huang, like Huang Zhong, rushed to the front of the whole team. He waved the Xuanhua ax in his hand, and chopped off the horses of the Han family cavalry who approached him one by one.And Huang Zhong was invincible in Xu Huang's formation, wherever the sword passed, Xu Huang's subordinates also fell one after another.

After fighting for a while, Xu Huang realized that something was wrong. Huang Zhong's subordinates could stand up on the saddle and fight, and when the weapons of the two sides collided, the ones who fell off the horse were mainly his own subordinates.After a stick of incense, I lost at least six to seven hundred people.

A uncle rushed in front of Xu Huang and shouted at him: "General, the Han family army is too strong, brothers can't resist, let's withdraw quickly!"

If Du Bo had said these words to him before the duel between the two sides, he would have chopped the opponent down with an axe.But at this moment, he also realized that if he continued to fight, even if his soldiers and horses were not wiped out, he would suffer heavy losses.After weighing the pros and cons, he decisively issued an order: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

Although he gave the order to retreat, he did not take the lead in fleeing, but personally led [-] cavalry to stop Huang Zhong's soldiers and horses to cover the retreat of his troops.

When Huang Zhong saw that Xu Huang's troops were unable to hold on and were forced to retreat, Xu Huang was not the first to escape. On the contrary, he stayed behind to cover the retreat of his subordinates. A little favor.

When Xu Huang and Huang Zhong were fighting on the official road, Han Zhan who was hiding behind the hill also heard the movement.He felt that it was daytime now, and Li Guo's soldiers and horses might not exist because of a misunderstanding. Maybe it was Huang Zhong's cavalry who came to rescue him.Thinking of this, he was going to go to the top of the hill again to see the situation outside.

Captain Qin was afraid that Han Zhan would be in danger, so he quickly dissuaded him, saying, "My lord, you are a man of gold, and the situation outside is unknown, so you can't go into danger lightly."

"Have you ever heard the fighting on the official road outside?" Han Zhan heard the shouts of killing that gradually became sparse outside, and felt that the battle should have come to an end. He was more eager to know who was the final winner, so he stubbornly Said: "Lieutenant Huang must have arrived with troops and horses and is fighting with the thieves. We need to get in touch with him immediately, otherwise it will not be so easy for us to find them after he leaves."

Captain Qin had no choice but to accompany him to the top of the hill to watch the situation outside after hearing what Han Zhan said.Unexpectedly, when I came to the top of the hill and looked at it, it was really Huang Zhong's cavalry who were fighting with the bandits outside.At this moment, Qin Dui was excited, and without waiting for Han Zhan's order, he took the initiative to ask Ying to say: "My lord, please ask the little one to get in touch with Captain Huang."

"Go!" Han Zhan glanced at the battlefield where there were still sporadic fighting, and told the other party: "There are bandits struggling outside, you must be more careful." Captain Qin agreed and ran to the foot of the hill Get on the horse, ride the horse around the hill, and run towards the official road.

Chapter 227 Li Jue Retreats

Xu Huang led the remaining [-] cavalry, desperately broke through Huang Zhong's blockade, and fled north along the official road.After Huang Zhong led his men to chase for two or three miles, he stopped.

The cavalry governor asked strangely: "Lieutenant, the thieves have been defeated, why don't you take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill them all?"

"Don't chase after the poor." Huang Zhong was anxious to find Han Zhan's whereabouts, and naturally he had no interest in chasing and killing Xu Huang who had fled, so he turned his horse's head and said to the cavalry governor: "Go back, let's continue to look for the whereabouts of the lord. "
