Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 126 Finally Escaped

When more than a thousand infantry saw that Chen Dao had rescued Zhou Cang, they immediately gathered together to block the pursuers.

"Brothers, we were helpless refugees. It was the castle owner who took us in and gave us food and clothes. Now that the castle owner is in trouble, it's time for us to repay him."

"Only the castle master can take good care of our parents, wives and children. Without the castle master, they will have countless lives. We can all die, but the castle master must not die!"

"Brothers, let's fight! The castle master will not treat our little one badly!"

Thousands of people roared in unison.

Thousands of dead soldiers composed of trained refugees have no armor, only knives and guns in their hands and the courage to fight to the death, fighting to the last pawn with their flesh and blood.

"General, our army has been exhausted after a day of fighting, and the soldiers have no intention of chasing after them." His confidants reported to Guo Bang that Xiliang soldiers were overwhelmed by the generosity of thousands of people to die. "Should the soldiers be rested?"

"Alright. Let's rest for one night and catch up tomorrow. I'm sorry they won't be able to fly." Guo Si didn't wait for Li Jue's reaction, and gave the order first. Li Jue had no choice but to agree, and then went to the medical officer for a dental check-up.

"Let's go, go eat some meat." Guo Bang looked at Li Jue who was grinning and laughed, and said loudly on purpose.

Zhou Cang and Chen Dao escaped with only sixty cavalrymen.

"General, our army is gone, and none of them escaped."

Zhou Cang looked back sadly, two lines of tears remained, and in an hour, more than 2000 bloody men disappeared, including Zhou Gui who had followed him for many years.

"General, let's go back to Pengcheng." Chen Dao's words were choked with anger, grievance, unwillingness, and perseverance.

"I'm not afraid that people in the world will laugh at me." Zhou Cang patted Chen on the shoulder, "We have worked so hard to get here, are we going to give up? I promise you that we will not take any more risks in the future, and we will not let our brothers die in vain again." .”

"Your Majesty, I have come to escort you as ordered." Zhou Cang didn't say anything about the delay in rescue, and please forgive me.

"Why does Weiguo only bring so few soldiers and horses?" Emperor Liu Xie was a little displeased.

"Dodging, all 2000 people under my command have died in battle, and these are all survivors." Zhou Cang replied in a muffled voice.

"This... okay. Weiguo is so loyal, I am very relieved. Weiguo, go and rest." Liu Xie's face changed quickly, and the royal family seemed to be born with this ability.

Dong Cheng and Yang Feng had only 5000 remnants of soldiers left. Seeing that Zhou Cang's entire army was dead, he felt a little bit happy because he was still the boss.Shi Huan violated the emperor's order and went to battle privately, was reprimanded by Liu Xie, stood aside with his head bowed, afraid to speak, only Fu Wan stood up to speak.

"Your Majesty, when we left Beijing, there were more than 3 soldiers and horses in the three armies, but now there are less than [-], and there are less than [-] tiger and feather forest guards. The accompanying vehicles and belongings are ten to seven or eight. The pursuers are still there. Your Majesty will travel lightly at once .” To put it bluntly, don’t worry about the ministers and those belongings, just run for your life first.

"I'm tired, I'll leave this matter to Aiqing." Liu Xie waved his hand again.

When Fu Wan negotiated with Dong Cheng and Yang Feng, the focus was who would walk with the emperor.During the dispute between the two, Zhou Cang took the initiative to say that he was willing to collect boats to cross the Yellow River, and then went to bed. Zhou Cang was too tired.

Fu Wan went through a lot of rhetoric, and finally decided: Except for the royal family and nobles and their close servants, they can follow the emperor, and the rest will only give Fu Wan a boat ticket. Zhong Ji will use Yang Ding to connect with Dong Yang and become Dong Cheng's confidant. Also get a boat ticket.So, at dawn the next day, when the ministers woke up, they found that the emperor was gone and the guards were gone, and suddenly they realized that they had been abandoned.

The ministers finally stopped serving as human shields this time. When Li Jue's army arrived, the ministers of the Sangong and Jiuqing all bowed down and became prisoners.All property, chariot battles, and palace people were all obtained by Li Jue and Guo Si.Captives and property slowed their pursuit to a certain extent.

Along the way, Liu Xie was like a frightened bird, and finally reached Shan County after being hungry and full.Just as he was about to catch his breath, the rear army came to report that Li Jue's pursuers had less than a day's journey to catch up, and people were panicked for a while.

Zhou Cang had gathered more than a hundred boats of all sizes to wait on the shore. Fu Wan, Shi Huan and Dong Cheng discussed that they could not wait any longer and had to send the emperor across the river overnight, otherwise, when the pursuers arrived the next day, no one might be able to leave. The current force is just for decoration, and it is simply unbearable.After crossing the river and entering the territory of Sili, Li Jue will definitely not chase after him.

Standing on the embankment, Zhou Cang remembered and read a sentence: "Struggle to cross, fight to cross, startle a pool of gulls."

Chen Dao gave a thumbs up, too vivid.

The ferry was in chaos, the emperor and the nobles had already boarded the boat, and the servants and soldiers were also scrambling to get on the boat, lest they would be left behind, there was no order and rules at all.

Under the order of Dong Chenghe Fu Wan, a hundred guards of the Huben and Feather Forest raised their butcher knives to their own robes. In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere. Countless people held their arms with severed fingers or palms and cried loudly, and many others were killed. He fell into the water and shouted for help, but no one paid attention.

"Let's go." Zhou Cang couldn't bear to look again.When Liu Xie left by boat, he went to join Zhou Fu.

It is an eternal truth that the moon is the first to be close to the water. Zhou Fu had prepared ten boats to pick up his own people, but he found that only two boats were enough for one trip.

"Patriarch..." Zhou Fu called Zhou Cang hesitantly.

"Oh, it's gone, I'm sorry for them. Zhou Gui... Zhou Gui is gone, he did it to save me, I didn't keep the body." Zhou Cang said intermittently.

Zhou Fu was as dumb as a wooden chicken. "The second child is gone, how can he walk in front of my boss, I'm not finished with him..." Zhou Da burst into tears before finishing speaking.

"Go back and clean up the things used by the second child, and build a clothes grave for him. Those who died in battle will be compensated after returning to Pengcheng. I will take care of their parents, wives and children." Zhou Cang sighed, "There is a monument next to Zhou Gui's tomb. , the names of those who died in battle are engraved on it."

Chen Dao gun pointed at the moon, "I, Chen Dao, swear to God, I will never fight such a useless battle again!"

Zhou Cang wiped the corners of his eyes, and continued to say to Zhou Fu: "After crossing the river, you find a place to hide these boats, maybe they will be useful in the future."

After a tense and busy night, the whole army crossed the Yellow River safely.When they left Beijing, the soldiers and horses from the three routes became one route, with 5000% of the number gone, food, property, ceremonial guards, and civil servants all lost, and it took half a year.When Yang Feng and Dong Cheng saw that Zhou Cang had [-] soldiers and horses, and the total number of the two men was only [-], they were surprised and started their calculations again.

At three poles in the sun, Li Jue and Guo Si chased him to the bank of the Yellow River, but there was no trace of the emperor. He guessed that the emperor had already crossed the river.The two thought over and over again, not knowing the situation on the other side, they dared not lead the army across the river, so they had to give up and start dividing up the treasure and the chassis.

In the late autumn of the second year of Xingping, Emperor Liu Xie crossed the Yellow River, and finally got one step closer to Luoyang, but His Majesty the Emperor really became a loner, and there was still a long way to go from Luoyang.
