Chapter 12 The First Step of the Long March

Chapter 12 The First Step of the Long March

"Ding, mission update, the first step in the Long March!"

When the loli voice came from his mind, Meng Chen was slightly taken aback, and didn't pay much attention to the meaning of this sentence.

Right now, he is eloquent, telling the emperor about his battle against the Huns and his achievements in adding oil and vinegar.

As long as he is a man, he has a dream of being a hero in his heart, including the emperor Liu Xie.

What's more, today's emperor is thirsty for talents, and brave people like Meng Chen will naturally become the target of wooing.

"Hahaha, alright, I will definitely reward Aiqing for raising the prestige of a big man!"

After listening to Meng Chen's narration, not to mention the emperor Liu Xie, even Dong Cheng who had been following him all the time secretly admired him.

It's a pity that Meng Chen's origin is unknown, and Dong Cheng has always maintained his vigilance.

"Your Majesty, this place is not out of danger yet, and we need to speed up."

Dong Cheng's voice just interrupted Liu Xie's interest, but Liu Xie was not only not unhappy, but took advantage of the situation to go downhill.

If it continued just now, Meng Chen's official position would probably come out soon.

When leaving the Emperor Luanjia, Meng Chen bowed to Dong Cheng. How could Meng Chen not know this, but fortunately, the Emperor had already agreed to Meng Chen's joining, and Dong Cheng would be hesitant to do some small tricks.

Originally, Tianzi Luanjia planned to spend the night in Xinfeng, but because of Guo Si's incident, the group had to drive all night.

Back in the Xuanjia Cavalry, Meng Chen let out a sigh of relief, although the Son of Heaven was young, Meng Chen vaguely felt that the Son of Heaven was not as unbearable as he imagined.

In the stories he added to the story, the emperor can always find the flaws, but fortunately Meng Chen is so eloquent that he managed to fool them.

"My lord, it seems that the emperor is not easy to fool!"

Li Cunxiao handed the water bag to Meng Chen, while observing his words and expressions.

As the saying goes, being with a king is like being with a tiger, and your lord is still a little tender after all.

"What Brother Cunxiao said is not bad, at least he got away with it."

Meng Chen took the water bag, shrugged helplessly, and drank it in big gulps.

Thirty miles to the west of Xinfeng County, Guo Si was panting heavily, and the horse under him had already collapsed to the ground.

Looking at the defeated soldiers behind him, Guo Si suddenly discovered that since Dong Zhuo's death, the Xiliang Army has become more vulnerable than ever.

"Tat-tat-tat!" A sound of horseshoes came from far and near, and Guo Si sighed helplessly.

When seeing Li Que again, Guo Si remained silent, as if he was waiting for Li Que to sneer.

"Brother Guo, don't worry, little brother, go and get back the face of the Xiliang Army!"

When Li Que opened his mouth, he didn't confront him like he used to, which made Si feel weird.

Taking a closer look, I found Jia Xu behind Guo Bang, looking at him with a smile.

"Xu, I have warned the two generals a long time ago. The generals in Xiliang will survive if they unite, and die if they divide. It is not too late to make up for it." Jia Xu's voice came out, and Guo Si nodded subconsciously.

Now that I think about what Jia Xu said, there is still some truth in it!

The two joined forces, and Guo Si consciously handed over the command.

Nearly [-] troops pursued in the direction where the emperor fled.

After several days of trekking, Meng Chen and others escorted the emperor Luanjia, and finally arrived at Shan County in Hongnong County!
Strictly speaking, at this time, they were not completely out of the scope of the Xiliang Army, but after several days of running around, the emperor and his party, as well as the soldiers of the guard army, were exhausted.

"Your Majesty, the officers and men are exhausted from traveling for days, why not set up camp here tonight." Dong Cheng appeared in front of Emperor Liu Xie with a tired face.

Let alone soldiers, even Liu Xie is exhausted!
"Zhun Zuo..." As soon as Liu Xie spoke, Meng Chen appeared.

"Your Majesty, you can't. Although Guo Si is defeated, he will definitely come back. The terrain here is wide and you can't camp. It's better to go ten li and enter the city of Shan County."

Meng Chen's words made Liu Xie a little confused. He didn't understand military matters, but the soldiers and ministers around him were already very tired.

"Meng Chen, the soldiers are already exhausted, your majesty is even more so, your subordinates are all cavalry, so naturally you don't feel back pain when you speak."

"Set up camp here, if Xiliang cavalry attack, how will we resist?"

"Hmph, the mere Xiliang cavalry was killed by this general!"

With a cold snort, Yang Feng's voice came.

In the battle of Xinfeng, Yang Feng's Baibo army gained a lot in the pursuit after Guo Bang's retreat.

"General Yang, Guo Si is not the only one in the Xiliang Army."

"Hmph, what qualifications does a mere white body have to discuss matters under the tent of the emperor."

It has to be said that Yang Feng's words pointed out Meng Chen's weakness, which also made Meng Chen speechless.

Except for the Son of Heaven, any one of the two people present is more important than his words.

"Meng Aiqing, the soldiers are exhausted, and so are the ministers. If Aiqing is worried about my safety, then place the cavalry on the side of Luanjia."

Liu Xie opened his mouth, which was considered to have settled the matter.In the current situation, Liu Xie did not want to see internal friction, so he chose a compromise method.

"Promise!" The three left as promised, and Meng Chen felt faintly uneasy.

With the emperor's edict, Meng Chen naturally placed a thousand Xuanjia cavalry at the side of the emperor Luanjia, so that if there was any disturbance, he could respond as soon as possible.

As night fell, after a hasty dinner, the entire camp became quiet. The fatigue brought about by the day's travel made everyone fall into a dream early.

On the side of Tianzi Luanjia's camp, a group of ten Xuanjia cavalrymen gathered around the bonfire. Meng Chen had already issued an order that the armor would never leave his body and his sword would never leave his hand tonight.

Ever since the army set up camp, the feeling of uneasiness in Meng Chen's heart became more and more intense.

"My lord, when the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover it with earth, and let everything take its course."

Li Cunxiao persuaded Meng Chen, since he couldn't stop the army from camping, why not find another way?As long as the emperor is fine, Meng Chen's efforts on this trip will not be in vain.

In the middle of the night, there was a rumbling sound, and when Meng Chen was awakened, Li Cunxiao had already prepared his horse.

The two looked at each other, and everything was silent!
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

A moment later, flames shot up to the west of the camp, and the Xiliang cavalry easily tore through the camp's defenses.

Li Que took the lead, searching around for the emperor's car with the help of the faint firelight.

Be it Yang Feng's Baibo army or Dong Cheng's guard army, they lost their positions immediately after being attacked by night, and the entire camp fell into chaos in an instant.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The Xiliang army attacked the camp, please leave quickly, Your Majesty."

When Dong Cheng's voice came, the indifferent look in his eyes during the day had long since disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of fear.

Liu Xie, who was originally awakened, was drowsy, but after hearing that the Xiliang army had attacked the camp, he lost all sleepiness in an instant.

"Where is Meng Chen? Where is Meng Chen?"

"Your Majesty, here I am!"

"Quick...quick, escort me away."

Meng Chen who heard the words did not agree, but looked at Dong Cheng and the panic-stricken emperor.

"I implore Your Majesty to leave first, and I will lead the cavalry to stop the rear."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Liu Xie's reaction, Meng Chen got on his horse and killed in the direction where the Xiliang army was charging.
