Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 136 Chasing and fleeing

The world is vast and the wind is cold.

On the snow-white ground, the two teams of people and horses swept past like a gust of wind, leaving continuous horseshoe marks on the knee-high official road.

However, no matter how people whipped, the speed of the war horse slowed down after all.There is no way, the heavy snow is too deep, not to mention war horses, even people cannot adapt.

Seeing that the war horse slowed down, Liu Yu couldn't help but change his expression, and looked back at Cao Jun who was chasing him.Cao Jun's speed was not slow. They walked on the traces left by Liu Yu and others, so they were much easier than Liu Yu and others, and they walked much faster than Liu Yu and others.

"Quick, get off the horse!" Liu Yu's complexion changed several times, and he gritted his teeth and shouted at the people behind him.Then, he got off his horse by himself, and led the horse to gallop against the wind.

Xia Houlan and the others saw that the speed of the war horse had slowed down, and they knew that if they didn't come down, they might be overtaken.Therefore, they did not hesitate and jumped down directly.But Xu Chu didn't get off, and although his injuries were no longer serious, he still couldn't stand the rush, so Xia Houlan didn't let him get off the horse.

"My lord, we might as well throw away the war horse." Zhou Cang said with difficulty as he ran against the wind.

Liu Yu held the horse with one hand and blocked the front with the other, and shouted: "Yuanfu, we still have to rely on the horse, otherwise we won't be able to escape at all. In two days, the heavy snow will probably melt, and we will leave without the horse by then." Dead."

Although the snow fell heavily in the past few days, there is no snow today, and the sky seems to be sunny.Therefore, Liu Yu did not dare to throw away the horse.

After Liu Yu and others dismounted in front, their speed increased again, and they quickly left the sight of Cao Jun behind.Cao Jun from behind finally caught up and saw Liu Yu and the others from a distance, but they disappeared again at this moment.

"Damn it, why is it snowing so much these days." Cao Hong's face was ashen, seeing Liu Yu and the others disappearing again, he couldn't help cursing in a low voice.

After scolding, he had no choice but to get off his horse, turned around and shouted angrily: "Hurry up, the rebels are ahead." After shouting, he bowed his head against the wind and pulled his horse forward to catch up.

The first day passed like this. After all, Cao Jun failed to catch up with Liu Yu and the others, but Liu Yu and the others also failed to get rid of Cao Jun.Very subtle, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

However, Cao Hong was not worried about Liu Yu and others escaping, because there was a pass guarded by Cao Jun ahead.He believed that as long as they followed Liu Yu and others closely, they would be able to catch up.

But Cao Hong's thinking was too simple, how could Liu Yu not know that there was a pass guarded by Cao Jun in front?

At dusk, outside a county town in Xutian, Liu Yu and others ambushed on both sides of the road.

"I'm afraid what happened in Xudu has not been reported yet. We can pretend to be horse dealers and sneak into the city." Liu Yu looked at the city in front of him and whispered to Xia Houlan and others, "It's best if we don't get discovered. was discovered..."

Liu Yu made a beheading motion, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.Xia Houlan and the others took it for granted, nodded solemnly, and didn't think there was anything wrong.

"Well, leave half of them to ambush outside, and the others will follow me to pretend to be horse dealers. If we see us make a move, the remaining people will rush up immediately. If there is no action, the remaining people will not move for a while, we will come to open the city gate at night .”

When Liu Yu came to Xudu, he passed by Xutian, and he knew that there were not many defenders here, and their vigilance was also poor.Therefore, he dared to act like this.But the world is impermanent, who knows if the soldiers of Xu Tiancheng will find out...

Soon, Liu Yu led half of the guards and took all the horses to the city gate.They didn't need to change clothes or anything, because they were wearing ordinary clothes to save Liu Yu.Don't worry about pretending to be a horse dealer, after all, they all pretended to be horse dealers when they came here.

"Stop, who are you?" Among the soldiers defending the city, a young soldier suddenly shouted at Liu Yu and the others.In fact, the young soldier didn't notice any abnormality, but felt that the aura of these people made him a little nervous.

This can't be blamed on Liu Yu and the others, after all, they are fighting and fleeing at the same time, how can it be so easy to restrain their momentum.

"Brother, we are horse dealers." Liu Yu said with a smile, wearing a hat and pretending to be a middle-aged horse dealer.

The young man didn't mean to find fault, but he felt that something was wrong with this group of people, so he stopped them.And now hearing what Liu Yu said, he also felt that it was nothing, so he prepared to let him go.

But at this moment, a middle-aged soldier suddenly came over and said darkly: "The horse merchants, where are the horse merchants in this snowy day? And I don't know any horse merchants on this road. You are definitely not horse dealers." business."

As he said this, the young soldier immediately became vigilant again.But before they could take any action, Liu Yu and others had already moved.

"Yes, we are indeed not horse dealers."

Liu Yu grinned ferociously, and suddenly took out a long knife from behind, aimed at the middle-aged soldier, and cut him in half.Then, when the young soldier was still horrified, Liu Yu's knife slashed at him again.

No accident, the young soldier was also split in half, scarlet blood, pale brains, and strings of intestines fell to the ground.On the snow-white ground, it looks particularly conspicuous.

However, Liu Yu turned a blind eye, let out a roar, and rushed towards the other guarding soldiers like a cheetah.

"Kill, leave none!"

The fight came and went quickly, the guarding soldiers didn't react at all, even before the other half of the ambushing guards appeared, Liu Yu and the others had already dealt with those guarding soldiers.

"My lord, these Cao soldiers are too easy to kill." Zhou Cang kicked one of the corpses all over the ground, and grunted dissatisfiedly while patrolling.

Liu Yu was wiping the sweat off his face, and couldn't help showing a wry smile when he heard Zhou Cang's words, then shook his head and said nothing.

Nonsense, these Cao troops are just county guards, how can they be compared with his personal guards?
After a while, the other half of the guards also entered the city.Seeing them coming in, Liu Yu immediately got on his horse and headed towards the county magistrate's mansion.He didn't dare to stay longer, for fear that the county magistrate would react and lead the soldiers and clans in the city to resist.If that were the case, they might be in trouble, and even be overtaken by Cao Jun who was chasing after them.

In fact, Liu Yu had a plan to ambush Cao Hong in this city.But firstly, he didn't have enough manpower, and secondly, it was difficult to block the news, so he had to give up this idea.As for why he didn't leave immediately instead of going to the county magistrate's mansion, there was also a reason.

It's not that Liu Yu killed him, he didn't want to let the county magistrate go, he was really afraid that the county magistrate would call people.If he was tricked by the county magistrate because he couldn't bear it for a while, then all of them would probably have to confess here.So, how could Liu Yu take risks?

Of course, Liu Yu was not going to kill the county magistrate.He has a plan, and he still needs the cooperation of the county magistrate...

Soon, Liu Yu, who was running wildly, saw the county magistrate's mansion.The gate of the county magistrate's mansion had already been closed tightly and was shrouded in lights.
