The breeze roars the rivers and lakes

Liang Chengbai's army was chased by the cavalry led by Lin Yu for more than [-] miles. Before he had time to catch his breath, he was chased by the cavalry led by Lin Yong, who was suddenly killed, and chased him for more than [-] miles until he completely deviated from the retreat. The road to Luoyang stopped at this point.

Xia Guogong's army, who had just arrived at the ancient city of Shangqiu, learned that when Liang Cheng led the army to besiege Zhengzhou City.He deliberately slowed down the marching speed, intending to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then suddenly fight out when both sides are hurt. In this case, not only will the credit be taken away, but also Lin Hao's vitality will be seriously injured.

But he didn't expect Liang Cheng's 30 troops to flee in embarrassment in just three days.Moreover, the direction of escape was not Luoyang City, but in his own direction.

Although Xia Guogong didn't know why Liang Cheng fled in his direction.However, he would not refuse the fat meat delivered to his mouth.And let Liang Cheng escape from him. If the Holy One finds out, not only his precious son imprisoned in the prison will lose his life, but even the head on his neck may be moved.

Xu Ming in Luoyang City was also shocked when he heard the news that Liang Chengjun did not regret his defeat. He slammed the table and roared angrily.

But anger is anger, he still sees the current situation very clearly.Once Liang Cheng's 30 troops were eaten by the Ming army, his plan to go north and east would be completely disrupted.

Now I am just taking advantage of the flood in the Yellow River, this is a god-sent opportunity to raise troops.Now that the flooding Yellow River has lost its temper, if the imperial court takes correct measures to appease the people, there will be many deserters on its side.

After all, they were desperate, and they rebelled together because of his coercion and lure.Once there is a choice, who wants to live such a precarious life?

Moreover, he had just wiped out Zhang Qiao's influence in the army, so he needed more military exploits to divert the conflict and strengthen the soldiers' support for him.Once Liang Cheng's army is wiped out by Lin Hao and his son and Xia Guogong, he can only live in a corner.In this case, what awaits him is undoubtedly death.

However, he sent [-] troops to rescue, but Lin Yu blocked them at the entrance of Mengjin. He tried his best, but he couldn't move forward!

Liang Cheng's army, which has lost foreign aid, is already in full swing.Coupled with the lack of food supplies and repeated defeats in just three days, many soldiers' psychological defenses were on the verge of collapse.He lives in fear all the time, his morale is extremely low, and he has almost no combat power.

The worst of all was their general Liang Cheng. After the chrysanthemum was stabbed by Yan Yun, every time it just wanted to heal, it burst into full bloom again, causing him unbearable pain.

Coupled with the current situation of being chased and beaten by others, his chrysanthemum is in a state that may bloom at any time.The high spirits that had captured Luoyang City just now had completely disappeared.Instead, there was an expression twitching from pain, and the panic and anxiety that were always shrouded in the shadow of death...

The night fell at some point, and panic and uneasiness knocked on the hearts of nearly 15 men.

After a day of fleeing, they were all sitting on the wilderness panting. At this time, everyone was exhausted. 15 troops were sleeping in the wilderness, not to mention patrolling and guarding, taking defensive measures, and even the tents of the military camp were not set up. several.

A gust of cold wind whizzed past in the wilderness, the faces of the soldiers twitched in fear, their eyes were filled with endless uneasiness and fear, and some soldiers even began to cry softly.

Because of the injury on the chrysanthemum, Liang Cheng was exhausted. He couldn't even lie down to rest. He could only kneel on the ground with one knee, holding the blood-stained sword with both hands. The muscles on his face began to twitch violently because of the pain. twitching.There was also a savage glint in the black eyes.

Now Xia Guogong's 20 army is probably waiting for him in front of him, and he must not go any further.But if you don't go anywhere, where else can you go?

The road back to Luoyang City was basically blocked by the Ming army, and even if they went back, so what?After suffering such a big defeat and almost wiped out the entire army of 30, Xu Ming would definitely not spare him.

What's more, before I went out to fight, I also issued a military order in front of the soldiers. If I don't succeed, I will be benevolent!Going back like this, what will those soldiers think of me, and how can I gain a foothold in the army in the future?It seems that Luoyang City can't go back...

Liang Cheng felt that at this moment, he was being chased and beaten like a lost dog.Moreover, he has already fallen into a dead end, no matter which road he chooses, it is almost a dead end!

"General, the last general has something to say. I don't know whether to ask it or not?" The red bearded general Lei Huan leaned forward with a slightly trembling voice and asked in a low voice.

"Speak!" Liang Cheng replied angrily.

After receiving Liang Cheng's affirmative answer, Lei Huan glanced around and saw that there was no one else except a few personal soldiers, so he began to ask in a low voice: "General, where are we going next?"

Before Lei Huan could finish speaking, Liang Cheng immediately raised his head, glared at him with a gloomy gaze, and asked, "Lei Huan, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing this scene, Lei Huan was so frightened that he couldn't help shivering all over his body. After he calmed down, he began to say: "General, now there are Duke Xia's 20 troops waiting in front of us, and Lin Yu is chasing and intercepting us behind. Sandwiched between the two of them, our food and grass will not be able to last for a few days at this time, and now people are thinking that as long as the food runs out, there will be a large number of deserters. At that time, what awaits us will be a dead end."

After hearing Lei Huan's words, Liang Cheng didn't speak, but his expression changed slightly.

Lei Huan caught the change in Liang Cheng's expression, and hurriedly added: "Now the north of Zhengzhou is the territory of the imperial court. Even if we break through from Xia Guogong's defense line, it will be difficult to gain a foothold. And when you come, General , has issued a military order, even if we can return to Luoyang City safe and sound, Military Division Xu Ming will not let us go."

What Lei Huan said was what Liang Cheng was worried about. He had been thinking about it just now.But at this time, he couldn't help being shocked when he heard it from his subordinates.After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Lei Huan, according to your opinion, what should we do?"

"Surrender to Duke Xia!" Lei Huan lowered his voice and spit out six words.

Although Lei Huan's voice was very low, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue to Liang Cheng.It's not that he hasn't considered this issue, but he just thought that Lin Hao and his son hate him deeply.What's more, what he has done is already a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. I am afraid that the imperial court will not let him go.

Lei Huan seemed to see Liang Cheng's worry, and said: "General, I know you are worried about the court, Xia Guogong belongs to King Fu, King Fu has the support of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and almost all the people in the court and the opposition are people from King Fu. When we go to Duke Xia, we are embracing the big tree of King Fu. Looking at the end of the day, the status of the crown prince is already in jeopardy. In the future, it will be King Fu who will ascend the throne and become the Ninth Five. Generally simple."

Liang Cheng has already been tempted by what Lei Huan said. It is undeniable that it is indeed a good choice to go to Xia Guogong, but he still has a little worry in his heart, that is, Lin Yu and some of his soldiers, and It is the attitude of the court towards itself now.

Thinking of this, Liang Cheng's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "Lei Huan, we rebelled, but it is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. Even if he is willing to accept us, the capital will not let us go so easily?"

A cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Lei Huan's mouth, and he said: "General, you are really smart all your life, and you were once confused."

Liang Cheng was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Lei Huan replied: "General, you are right. Rebellion and treason are indeed a serious crime to destroy the nine clans. But we did not rebel and conspire, and we still serve the country wholeheartedly. It is just that we were victimized by traitors."

Hearing Lei Huan's words, Liang Cheng's expression was startled at first, and then he nodded suddenly, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's right, we didn't rebel against you. It is Lin Hao who is playing tricks in the dark to confuse the public."

Seeing that Liang Cheng understood what he said, Lei Huan nodded accordingly, and said, "The general is right. Lin Hao, Minister of the Ministry of War, lost Luoyang City because of his negligence. , went to the rescue, but because Lin Hao insisted on going his own way and wanted to shirk his responsibility, he slandered Liang Cheng, the commander-in-chief of Hangu Pass, for conspiring to rebel..."

Lei Huan paused for a moment, and then continued quite proudly: "As long as Xia Guogong presents these words in front of the Holy Majesty, and with the help of Fu Wang's followers and Dongchang, it is difficult for the Holy Majesty to believe it. The prince is also very likely to be implicated because of this matter."

Hearing Lei Huan's words, Liang Cheng's distorted expression, which was originally convulsed by pain, instantly relaxed, and he couldn't help laughing, and said, "Lei Huan is indeed my right-hand man, don't worry, In the future, as long as I, Liang Cheng, have a bite to eat, I will never forget my brother!"

Lei Huan hastily cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "The last general is here to thank the general first!"

Liang Cheng nodded with a smile, as if at this time, he had already been conferred the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, his face was full of complacency.After enjoying himself for a while, he glanced around and saw that no one from Xu Ming had noticed this place, so he lowered his voice and said, "Lei Huan, at this moment we still have the eyeliner placed by Xu Ming and the others. There are no reliable generals around you, just in case Ye Changmeng has many dreams, and you have to go to Xia Guogong to explain what you just said, and see what their attitude is?"

Lei Huan saluted respectfully, and said: "Yes, General, the last general will pretend to go for convenience in a while, and rush to Xia Guogong's place overnight."

Liang Cheng nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Okay, then go back quickly and be careful on the way."

After Lei Huan responded, he cast a glance around, pretending to go to the grass for convenience while other people were not paying attention, and ran straight towards the camp where Duke Xia was located under the cover of night.

Looking at Lei Huan's figure gradually disappearing into the night, Liang Cheng's black eyes immediately flashed a sinister and vicious light, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
