Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 416: Losing troops, losing generals, and losing positions. Regrets are too late and the heart is uneasy.

"Huhuhu..."

In the jungle, several figures were running fast. The leader was missing an arm, and most of his body was stained red with blood, but he endured the pain and ran all the way.

Behind him, several Hun warriors followed closely, each of them was seriously injured, their clothes were torn and blood was dripping from time to time, but they were still trying to move forward.

click!
Suddenly, a root protruding from the ground tripped the leader. When the root broke, the man lost his balance and fell to the ground. He rolled all the way through the trees, leaving branches and gravel on his body along the way. There were traces of blood.

"General!"

"Your Majesty!"

Several people behind hurried forward and helped him up.

The one-armed man who fell to the ground was clearly the Xiongnu King Zhao and General Liu Yao!

At this time, he was no longer as high-spirited as before, and looked extremely embarrassed. The blood on his pale face made him look even more haggard.

"Cough, cough, cough..." After being helped up, Liu Yao coughed twice, his body trembled slightly, his muscles, bones, and membranes trembled, and large drops of sweat gushed out from his pores.

This is a sign of physical exhaustion and the inability to lock the pores. In other words, it means that the physical energy is exhausted and almost exhausted!
When several subordinates saw Liu Yao's appearance, they all looked worried and began to persuade him.

"General, we have entered the territory of Bingzhou. We can reach the country through the woods in front. It won't take long. You traveled all night and were seriously injured. You lost too much blood. Even the horse can't hold on. Or Take a break."

"Yes, there are only a few steps left. You'd better take a rest as soon as possible. There are many wild birds and wild beasts in this forest. Let's catch some and replenish our strength first. We haven't eaten for a long time."

"Yes, the Xianbei people will definitely not chase here, they..."

Before the last person finished speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of Liu Yao punching the ground. The Hun King Zhao gritted his teeth, with a look of unwillingness on his face. Deep in his eyes, he could see deep self-blame and anger. .

He recalled the bloody scene of the previous encounter, and recalled the scene in which the young warrior whom he valued was killed by a sword in order to protect himself from the sword!
More than 300 cavalry soldiers were scattered by the Xianbei people. If it weren't for a loyal subordinate who wore Liu Yao's clothes and pretended to be him, leading away a large number of troops from Tuoba Yulu, I am afraid that he, the general of the Huns, would , will die in this conflict!
Even so, Liu Yao was seriously injured. Not only was he hit by several arrows, but his left arm was cut off, and blood flowed from the upper arm down.

This wasn't the end of the story. In order to escape, he spared no effort in using his horse power. He exhausted all the fine horses that the Xiqiang paid tribute to, and had to rely on two legs to escape.

How embarrassing, how embarrassing!
Such a scene reminded Liu Yao of the scene of fleeing from the Central Plains all the way back to the Huns. Although there were more people around than last time, he lost all his confidantes, subordinates, and elites. That's much worse.

"I went to take revenge in a big way, but what happened? Not only did I not do anything to Chen Zhi, but I fell into his scheme! According to the rules of their Xianbei people, Tuoba Yulu had already led his troops back to the tribe, how could he still do it? Leaving nearly a thousand riders beside you, and just blocking the way? Someone inside must have intervened to arrange it!"

Previously, Liu Yao was blinded by the anger of revenge. He didn't have many worries and just led his troops to kill. In order to achieve the goal, he did not hesitate to take risks with his own life. He did not listen to the advice and entered with a small number of men. Daijun.

Now he was running all the way, being in danger, and paying a heavy price. The weakness and exhaustion hit him, but it gave him time to think, thinking about what he had experienced along the way, and he came to a conclusion!
"I went to seek revenge from Chen Zhi, but he had predicted it a long time ago! That's why I met Tuoba Yulu in the end! Not only the Xianbei people, but also the soldiers who suddenly rushed out in front of the gate of Dai County City, they came It was too fast, and it was hidden in the woods. It was not like the style of officers and soldiers. These unusual places were probably arranged by Chen Zhi in advance. They were traps he left specially for me! It’s ridiculous that I thought that It frightened him enough to make him restless! In fact, it was me who was truly restless!"

Inexplicably, Liu Yao recalled the beginning of his escape from the Central Plains. It was only because of the sacrifice of his loyal subordinates that he was able to cross the river and embark on the escape road. He thought that he would be able to take revenge if he survived the catastrophe, but he did not expect this second time. , Worse than the first time!

Thinking of this, Liu Yao felt so aggrieved that it was difficult to relax.

"I went there this time and only killed an insignificant Lu Chu. According to what Lu Chu said before he died, he and Chen Zhi were political enemies, and they were Wang Jun's confidants. If he came forward, he would provoke Wang Jun. , enough to make Chen Zhi lose his official position, but I was obsessed with killing Chen Zhi personally, and I felt that it was Lu District's excuse to survive, so I didn't adopt it. Thinking about it now, I was really blinded by hatred at the time, and because of successive victories, in Both in the court and on the battlefield, we were all so proud that we forgot about ourselves! So much so that we ended up in this state!"

Anger, unwillingness, mixed with regret, and held in his heart made him feel more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it!
"I went there, what exactly was it for? I lost my troops and was seriously injured, but I gave Chen Zhi a share of the credit for nothing! This is simply unreasonable!"

The violent emotional changes caused Liu Yao to lose control of his body. He was exhausted and seriously injured. He was furious, the smell of blood was in his mouth, and the wound on his arm burst open again, and blood spurted out!

"Your Majesty!"

"General!"

"Lord!"

Several warriors were shocked and quickly stepped forward to protect Liu Yao. They used herbs and medicinal cloths to bandage Liu Yao and stop the bleeding.

After a while of scrambling, the wound was finally under control, but Liu Yao himself was pale and almost transparent, breathing lightly and like a gossamer, but he still maintained a sense of consciousness. He whispered: "This forest, because Liu Kun lives in the wild geese." The door, so the control is unstable, and his scouts shuttle through the forest from time to time. Don't stay for a long time, you must leave as soon as possible!" He used all his strength to finish a sentence, and then passed out.As if to confirm his judgment, bursts of footsteps suddenly came from the forest.

Several Xiongnu warriors were immediately alert, realizing that someone was coming to inspect, and immediately protected Liu Yao and hid.

Then, I saw several Han scouts approaching...

………………

"Um……"

When Liu Yao woke up again, his goal was the top of the tent.

"here is……?"

He lost his virginity and made a sound, and then was brought back to his thoughts by the sound of surprise in his ears. When he turned his head, he saw a face, which was one of the warriors who protected him along the way.

"Your Majesty, you finally woke up!" The man was filled with sorrow and joy.

From the warrior's mouth, Liu Yao learned what happened next.

Encountering Han scouts in the forest, they attracted a small team. After paying nearly half of their number, the last five Xiongnu warriors took Liu Yao out of the forest and returned to the territory controlled by the Xiongnu Kingdom.

After returning to the place where the Huns garrisoned, a doctor came over to diagnose and treat Liu Yao, and stabilized his injuries.

In this era, this kind of injury has a great possibility of causing death. Liu Yao's ability to survive is actually a close call. Thanks to his martial arts practice since childhood, his strong physique and strong desire to survive, he was able to survive.

"How many of them didn't walk out of the woods?" Liu Yao's spirit weakened, and he glanced at the empty left sleeve, deeply realizing that he had suffered a heavy loss this time, and regretted it more and more, but at the same time...

"Chen Zhi has many plans. If he is not eliminated, he will definitely become a big problem for our clan! Although I lost my troops this time, it at least proved Chen Zhi's threat. So there can be no delay. Once I have made arrangements in the army, we will I want to return to the court and report to the king and ministers to get rid of this threat! Huh?"

After finishing speaking in one breath, Liu Yao stopped panting, but noticed that the warrior's complexion was a little strange, and asked in his heart, "Could it be that the king has something to say?"

The samurai hesitated for a while, and then said: "My lord, when you attacked, the Sima with the army sent the news to the south. When the news of the loss of soldiers and generals came, and you were seriously injured, the minister wrote to the king, saying that you were dismissed for private reasons Your Majesty, you are not qualified to lead an army, even several great kings and elders have come forward, the king cannot bear the harassment of his ministers, so...therefore, you have been dismissed as a general and let you return to the fief to recuperate from your wounds."

"Return to the fiefdom to recuperate?" Liu Yao sighed, as if he was out of strength, "Let me go back and reflect, but at least I have to tell the king about Chen Zhi in person, otherwise he won't realize it. The seriousness of the matter.”

"Your Majesty..." the warrior said helplessly again, "Several kings entered the palace one after another to put pressure. The king could not bear the disturbance and issued an edict, saying that if you do not return to the fiefdom and dare to go to the royal capital, even your title will be removed. Go! Those words don’t seem to be false. Your Majesty, you must not go there! It’s a small matter to cut the number, but what if something unexpected happens?”

Anger welled up in Liu Yao's eyes, but as soon as his left arm hurt, his furious expression dimmed again and turned into a sigh.

"Before warning the king, I should try my best to protect myself. Given my current situation, I am afraid that no one will believe what I say, and think it is my excuse! It's a pity! It's a pity! It's hateful! Chen Zhi Chen Zhi! Could it be that because of this person, I will completely lose power in the clan?"

While Liu Yao was discouraged, Zheng Shi, who was far away in Dai County, was panicking at home.

After returning home from the court meeting, he was restless.

"What should we do? With the help of the Xianbei people, this matter can be passed smoothly. The head of the Huns, together with Liu Yao's arm, can be exchanged for a person with no merits and no faults. If you are lucky, It can still be regarded as a credit, and everyone in Daijun will be safe, but my letter has been sent out and I can’t get it back!”

As he thought about it, he became more and more worried, and finally summoned his younger brother Zheng Gong and asked, "What is the prefect doing now?"

Zheng Gong gave his brother a strange look and replied: "The prefect and his staff went outside the city, saying they wanted to see the growth of the crops."

"Not in the city? Then what did he order?" After repeated inquiries and found nothing unusual, Zheng Shi finally said: "I wrote a letter, you leave now, go to Jixian County, and must deliver it to the university. In the hands of the general!"
