Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 124 Psychological Counseling
Zhou Cang suggested that Liu Xie Qingche Jiancong should leave the main force and go with him first, and the main force should be guarded by Dong Cheng and Yang Feng.This suggestion was strongly opposed by the two men. They proposed: first, the departure of the emperor would inevitably cause instability in people's hearts, and it would be unsafe without the cover of a large army;

Liu Xie felt that what these two people said was reasonable. In comparison, Liu Xie trusted Dong Cheng more, ordered Zhou Cang to continue as the front, and invited the Kanto princes to come to the king as soon as possible.

Dong Cheng lied to others, but he knew his own situation, so he sent Zhou Cang away, and Zhang Ji's rear army was gone. He discussed with Yang Ding and Yang Feng and asked them to serve as the rear army again, but Yang Ding flatly refused.The three of them came up with a good idea: send the treasure returned by Zhou Cang to Li Jue, and make peace with Li Jue and Guo Si!The three quickly entered the honeymoon period.

Li Jue and Guo Si packed up the remnants and were defeated all the way, but they didn't go far away. They waited for two days for the [-] infantry who came after them.Running back and forth and fighting, the men and horses were exhausted. When Dong Cheng came to ask for peace, he apparently agreed.

Dong Chenghu left Huayin and entered Hongnong with the protection of the emperor. Duan Yan also led the troops back to the station when the emperor left.Liu Xie stayed in Huayin for more than a month, and has been out of Beijing for two months.

Li Jue received the reward of visiting the horse, and now there are less than 2 people around the emperor, of which Yang Ding and Yang Feng have 1 people, and Dong Cheng has 5000 people.The last time Zhou Cang attacked the camp, he had less than 2000 people.

Li Jue jumped into a rage and cursed: "Zhou Weiguo! I have been promoted to you again and again, but I am so ambitious. If I catch you, I will tear you to pieces!"

Guo Bang mocked, "Since Xiangguo was murdered, I know that these people are all unreliable and should be killed."

"Shut up, kill, kill, you want to kill me too!"

"Hehehe, it depends on whether it is beneficial. Let's think about how to kill Zhou Cang, how to chase Dong Cheng and Yang Ding them."

"What do you think, pass my orders, the whole army will attack, and kill him without leaving a single one. Guo Aduo, you will get six of the captures this time, and I want four. I only want the heads of Dong Cheng and Zhou Cang!"

Li Jue and Guo Si caught up with the emperor's team in Dongjian, Hongnong County in two days. Yang Ding had no choice but to lead the army to fight, and was defeated without any suspense. .

Yang Ding's departure was not in vain. Dong Cheng and Yang Feng realized that the situation was urgent and there was no way out, so they finally put aside their previous suspicions for the time being and worked together to fight Li Jue and Guo Si to the death.

The two sides fought again. Seeing that Dong Cheng and Yang Feng started to fight desperately, Li Jue did not press too hard. He and Guo Si took turns to fight every day.Starting from Dongjian, the attack continued for forty miles. Dong Cheng walked for forty days and killed 4000 people. Li Jue's men lost less than a thousand people.Li Jue just wanted to seize the opportunity to give Dong Cheng a fatal blow. In addition, he always invested only one thousand of his three thousand cavalry, and the other two thousand were used to guard against Zhou Cang who did not show up.

Dong Cheng and Yang Feng continued to be defeated, the property recovered by Zhou Cang was robbed again, hundreds of officials were slaughtered on a large scale again, but it was always the little people who suffered, so most of the people killed were low-ranking officials.

Under the protection of Shi Huan, Liu Xie had to sleep in the open in the fields. He left Beijing in the spring of the second year of Xingping.

"Your Majesty, the situation is critical. I think Li Jue is killing our army's morale and supplies. A general attack may be launched at any time."

Liu Xie doesn't know the situation of the battle anymore, and he can know that he is in big trouble from being reduced to sleeping in the fields from the dignified son of heaven and the king of a country. "What's your idea?"

"I will protect His Majesty even if I give up this life, but there are too many people in the entourage, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them. Now General Zhou Cang is at the front, please appeal to your Majesty to order Zhou Cang to lead the army back to the defense." Shi Shi Huan said it very euphemistically.

"Without him opening the way ahead, what if we encounter obstacles?"

"Your Majesty, it's too late. Let's look at the present first. Escaping from Li Jue's hands is the key."

"Oh, that's the only way. Send someone to see Zhou Cang with my jade pendant, and let him return to the army to escort him quickly."

Zhou Cang has already met Zhou Fu who is waiting here. The boat has already been prepared on the bank of the Yellow River.

Chen Dao and Xu Huang looked at Zhou Cang and Xu Huang with weird faces. Zhou Cang felt that it was necessary to give Xu Huang a psychological counseling class. This period of time was too depressing for Xu Huang, and this general should not be allowed to doubt his life from now on. .

Zhou Cang patted Xu Huang on the shoulder and said, "Back to Pengcheng, I will introduce some good brothers to Gongming."

Chen Dao immediately interjected, "Yes, Gongming. When you get to Pengcheng, you'll know it's different there. Don't blame me for not reminding you, none of those brothers is inferior to me in martial arts, because I'm relatively free and I look better than them." , That's why the general brought me to Beijing." Xu Huang believed that Chen Dao's character would not lie, but he really couldn't believe that Chen Dao's martial arts was the worst, and Chen Dao was indeed more handsome than himself.

Seeing Xu Huang's disbelief, Chen Dao said: "You see, General Zhou is very powerful. He is ranked third at most. The most powerful is Dian Wei, who holds a pair of iron halberds. Neither the General nor I are his opponents. Lv Bu fought, and the general called him evil. The second was General Hua Xiong, who was defeated by General Dian Wei. I don’t know how the general ordered him. Now he is fierce and ruthless. Few of them can escape. There is also General Zhang Jaw, whose martial arts are not inferior to generals, but leading troops is the strongest among us..."

Seeing Xu Huang's interest aroused, Zhou Cang laughed, "When you get back to Pengcheng, you will have plenty of time to discuss together, but we won't stay in Pengcheng for long, and then we will go to Guangling. I am the prefect of Guangling now."

"Yes, Gongming, when we reach Guangling, it is our territory, so we don't have to suffer from these useless attitudes anymore." Chen Dao muttered in a low voice, "Let me tell you, there is also Xu Sheng, regardless of his young age, he is very brave in battle, the general said He is a good seed for water warfare, the general also has a foster brother named Pei Yuanshao..."

"Gongming, you take five hundred troops and one hundred cavalry, and Zhou Chong escorts property and horses across the river to Pengcheng." Zhou Cang stopped Xu Huang's desire to speak. "Escorting belongings and horses is a heavy responsibility. The road is not smooth, so I don't worry about others. If these horses stay, they will add hundreds of horses and pawns at best, which will not do much good."

"Zhou Fu sent Gongming across the river. Of the 3000 people you brought, I will take away [-]. For the remaining [-], you have to collect the ferry and boats and pick them up at any time."

"Chen Dao, you and I will each bring 1000 men and [-] cavalry. Let's go back now."

"Patriarch, I'll go with you." Seeing that everyone had arrangements, Zhou Gui volunteered.
