Looking back and seeing the white-robed soldiers coming from behind, Li Er felt regretful to the extreme. He kept cursing himself for not delaying too much and trying to confirm whether Liu Wuzhou was surrounded and captured by the Sui army. , after seeing someone kneeling in front of his arch-enemy Chen Sangliang, he should not take a closer look at where Chen Sangliang's flag was. The result was good. Chen Sangliang's eyes were just as thief and traitor as Li Er's. With just one glance, he immediately recognized Li Er who had already put on the uniform of Dingyang's sergeant. Then, he turned to Li Er. Chen Sangliang, who was willing to be ruthless, immediately went after him with his absolute direct retribution. Fortunately for Li Er, he reacted quickly and noticed that something was wrong with Chen Sangliang's expression. He immediately took the last three people around him to follow Zhu Can, Liang Jianfang and Wang Huaiwen and fled for their lives. They fled to the same location as Chen Sangliang first. To the west, by the time the reported troops turned around and started pursuit, Li Er and others were already 1,780 steps away from the reported troops. A spectacle that was definitely rare for a hundred years was born on the battlefield. Facing the defeated soldiers of the Dingyang Army who fled all over the mountains and plains in groups, as well as countless civil and military officials of the Dingyang Army hiding in the crowd of defeated soldiers, as the commander-in-chief of the Sui Army, Not only did Chen Sangliang not bother to take a look, he held his flag high and led thousands of elite cavalry in pursuit of a mere four soldiers of the Dingyang Army. In order to speed up and save time, he also deliberately did not kill the surrounding Dingyang soldiers or those in charge. Yang's army was defeated. Countless Dingyang's army's defeated soldiers were so tired that they had no strength to resist. They were lucky enough to save their lives. There were also countless Dingyang's soldiers who were confused, "Who are those people? They don't seem to be ours." Your Majesty? Why did Thief Chen go after them personally?" The Sui army cavalryman Cheng Yaojin who came later was also shocked. Then Cheng Yaojin said that Chen Sangliang had discovered Liu Wuzhou's trace and chased him personally. He also quickly led the cavalry under his command to leave the main battlefield and pursue here. Then naturally, Chen Sangliang immediately ordered someone to turn around and send an order to Cheng Yaojin, saying that Liu Wuzhou had been captured and asked Cheng Yaojin to continue chasing the main force of Dingyang Army. If the army is defeated, it must be pursued for more than thirty miles before withdrawing. As a result, Cheng Yaojin was confused when he heard this and hurriedly asked: "Then what are you going to do to the west? Who else are you going to hunt?" "His Highness said that he is going to hunt down an old enemy of his for many years. If you don't kill this enemy, Your Highness will do it." I can't sleep soundly even in bed." Chen Sangliang's soldier who came to deliver the order replied: "So Your Highness will pursue us to the end no matter what. Let me give you and General Yuchi an order to pursue for thirty miles and withdraw your troops and return to Yuci. "Gather in the city." Cheng Yaojin nodded and waved to Chen Sangliang's personal soldier holding the command talisman to continue delivering the order. Then, while commanding the cavalry to continue chasing Yang's defeated troops north, he wondered in his heart, "Why does His Highness hate him so much?" ? Is it Li Erlang again? What did that kid do to make His Highness hate him so much? " Of course Li Er didn't understand why Chen Sangliang did this to him? Special treatment, but Li Er definitely didn't like Chen Sangliang's overly enthusiastic and grand treatment. In order to escape, Li Er kept kicking the horse's belly, forcing the horse to move forward at full speed. Zhu Can, Liang Jianfang and Wang Huaiwen Li Er finally The same is true for Li Er and his subordinates. They all whipped and kicked their horses desperately to force the horses to speed up. Although their horses were very pitiful because of this, Li Er and the others knew very well what would happen to them if they were overtaken by the Nationalist Army. It is definitely a hundred times more pitiful than the current situation of the war horse under his crotch! While Li Er was riding hard, Chen Sangliang, who was not good at riding, was also riding hard at the risk of falling off his horse. Because Chen Sangliang knew very well the dangerous consequences of letting Li Er escape to Mayi. Basically, as long as Li Er If there is a second chance to make a comeback, then with Li Er's ability and the special terrain of Mobei, Chen Sangliang will have to spend ten times or even a hundred times the price if he wants to destroy Li Er! Therefore, Chen Sangliang definitely didn't want to miss the opportunity to kill Li Er again. He would rather make less gains in the pursuit battle and try to kill Li Er. It was not bad for Chen Sangliang. When Li Er fled for his life, he did not flee to the north of Mayi, but kept fleeing towards Taiyuan to the west. Chen Sangliang was secretly happy for a while, and said to Li Er It was in desperation that he became confused. However, after chasing for more than ten miles to the west, Chen Sangliang gradually became blinded because the road ahead gradually became bumpy and bumpy, and the number of hilly trees on both sides of the road also increased significantly. Then Chen Sangliang suddenly remembered, Li Er has lived in the Taiyuan area for many years and is definitely more familiar with the terrain in this area than himself. His flight to the west is definitely not a hasty choice, but a premeditated plan. Although they are cavalry like Li Er and others, the Baoguo Army is a heavy cavalry and has very strict requirements on the terrain. It is far more affected by the rough roads than light cavalry. Seeing that Li Er and others took the opportunity to gradually distance themselves from each other. When the distance between the army and the army was close, Chen Sangliang made a decisive decision and immediately ordered Guo Feng and Chen Ci to remove their armor. They took off their Mingguang armor and horse armor together. With only weapons and dry food, they chased Li Er and others with Qingqi and reported that they had taken off their armor. The equipment was handed over to Yu Lejun to carry back to Yuci. In this regard, Guo Feng and Chen Ci, who had already suffered such a big loss when chasing Xue Ju and his son,The general carefully reminded Chen Sangliang to pay attention to safety, and Chen Sangliang replied: "Don't worry, it's a full fifty miles away from Taiyuan. There won't be any ambush. We will chase for another twenty miles, no matter whether we can catch up or not." Retreat!" Guo Feng, Chen Ci and others reluctantly agreed. Yu Le also said that he would stay where he was and wait to meet Chen Sangliang. Chen Sangliang knew that he had good intentions, so he agreed. At the same time, taking advantage of the opportunity for the Patriot Army to temporarily stop advancing and remove their equipment, Li Er, Zhu Can and the other four men finally got rid of Chen Sangliang's pursuit. However, just when Li Er breathed a sigh of relief However, Zhu Can, who was in front, pointed to the southwest and shouted: "Right Governor, there is someone there!" Li Er, Wang Huaiwen and others quickly followed the sound and saw a man also wearing the uniform of Dingyang Army. The knight seemed to have lost his way and was looking for the way. He saw Li Er and others wearing Dingyang sergeant uniforms. The knight even let out a cheer, hurriedly came over and slapped his horse, and shouted in a woman's voice from a distance: " General Dingyang over there, I am your Majesty's little sister. My brother and I are separated and lost. Take me to him quickly!" "Liu Xiaomou?" Li Er was stunned for a moment, never expecting that he was on the run. Hui happened to run into Liu Xiaomou, who disappeared last night and was already engaged to his fianc¨¦e. Then, Li Er suddenly thought of what kind of favorable situation he would win in Mayi if he could successfully bring Liu Xiaomou back to Mayi. Li Er couldn't help but feel secretly happy in his heart, and said to himself: "God help me." "Why is it you?" Liu Xiaomou obviously didn't expect that he would bump into Li Er. He ran closer and just saw Li Er's appearance clearly. Liu Xiaomou immediately screamed and asked: "Why are you wearing the military uniform of our Dingyang Army?" "Xianmei, let's talk about the rest on the way." Li Er waved his hand gracefully and shouted: "Let's go quickly, Thief Chen will catch up soon!" "Why should I leave with you?" He almost blurted out, but after hearing the fierce sound of horse hooves coming from the west, Liu Xiaomou, who was very assertive, closed his mouth obediently, and while accompanying Li Er's horse galloping, he couldn't wait to ask: "Why are you dressed like this? Where is my brother? Where is my brother¡¯s army?¡± Li Er did not rush to answer. He first looked back at Chen Sangliang¡¯s pursuit, and then said, ¡°Xianmei, you have to be mentally prepared. But it's all bad news. The main force of my brother's Dingyang army is gone. Brother Wu Zhou seems to have been captured alive by the traitor Chen Yingliang." Liu Xiaomou was shocked and quickly reined in his horse to see Li Er. Li Er hurriedly pulled Liu Xiaomou's hand. Ma Rein, while pulling Liu Xiaomou's horse forward, quickly introduced the situation of last night's battle. Finally, he roughly said that he saw someone suspected of Liu Wuzhou kneeling down to Chen Sangliang and surrendered to Chen Sangliang. Finally, he comforted Liu Xiaomou and said: "Xianmei, you don't have to be afraid. Brother Yu will definitely find a way to rescue Brother Wu Zhou. As long as Brother Wu Zhou is not killed, I will definitely be able to rescue him." To Li Er's surprise, Liu Xiaomou, despite her beautiful eyes, Tears flickered in her eyes, but she never shed a single tear. After wiping the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, Liu Xiaomou said to Li Er in a very serious manner: "Thank you, brother. If brother can really save my brother, little sister will If you are a cow and a horse, you must repay your kindness to your brother. " "There is no need for you to be a cow and a horse, as long as you go to bed with me obediently," Li Erxian muttered in his heart. He told the truth, and then quickly turned back to see the situation of the Sui army's pursuit. What made Li Er angry and helpless was that Chen Sangliang was not only chasing closely, but also kept the flag far away from Li Er and others. Within sight, he could catch up at any time. At the same time, what worries Li Er, who is familiar with the terrain, is that the nearby terrain in this area is not suitable for cavalry operations. If you turn around and go north, you will enter an open plain within five or six miles. If you continue to go west, it will only be seven or eight miles at most. , will also enter the open area where the Sui army cavalry set up an ambush last night. In that kind of terrain, the possibility of Li Er and others being overtaken by the nationalist army will undoubtedly be much greater. "Right Commander, there is an open area not far ahead." Wang Huaiwen also reminded: "Our horses are very tired, and they have not eaten forage since last night. It is difficult to outrun Chen Thief in the open area. War horse. How to deal with it? Please make a quick decision, Commander-in-Chief Right!" He looked back again. Although he couldn't see the ugly appearance of his love rival Chen Sangliang, which was blocked by trees and hills, the equally ugly handsome flag was always in sight. Li Er and others maintained a distance of more than 300 steps, and the distance was gradually shortening. The Sui army was fully prepared before the battle yesterday. The horses of the soldiers reported that they had taken the time to eat during the gap between the battles. The horses were naturally stronger than The horses of Li Er and others are much stronger. "The speed on Thief Chen's side is too fast. If it continues like this, I will be dead. What should I do?" With this thought in my mind, I accidentally caught a glimpse of the same man wearing Ding Yang.Liu Xiaomou, who was wearing a soldier's uniform, and Li Er's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said without hesitation: "This is the only place in this area that is barely suitable for cavalry combat. If we continue to escape like this, we will definitely be dead! There is only one way to plan now. , let¡¯s retreat separately, so that Chen Thief can¡¯t find the target to pursue, and then we can take the opportunity to escape.¡± ¡°How to retreat separately?¡± Liang Jianfang asked quickly. "I will go west alone to go back to Taiyuan for help first, and the four of you will go north." Li Er said very calmly: "When you reach the open area, immediately divide into two again, and then retreat in two directions. We will meet in, in Taiyuan City." Li Er was a little hesitant when he agreed on the rendezvous location. He almost wanted to meet in Mayi, but considering that the journey was far away and there were too many dangers along the way, he decided not to do it. If he is not careful, he may die inexplicably, so Li Er changed his mind and decided to go back to Taiyuan to take a rest. Fortunately, Li Er still has his fourth brother Li Yuanji as an ally in Taiyuan City. Pei Ji is also secretly interested in Li Er, it is unlikely that Li Er will lose his head when he goes back now. After listening to Li Er's instructions, the two generals Wang Huaiwen and Liang Jianfang, who were loyal to Li Er, did not hesitate and immediately clasped their fists and sang the promise. Liu Xiaomou did not doubt that he was there and nodded in agreement. Zhu Can rolled his eyes and stole a glance. Looking at Li Er, but seeing that Wang Huaiwen and Liang Jianfang were between Li Er and him, Zhu Can's eyes quickly dimmed again, and he cursed a traitor secretly, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only be obedient. Obey. After agreeing on the retreat method, Li Er headed west without hesitation. Liang Jianfang, Wang Huaiwen and others surrounded Liu Xiaomou and turned north, while Zhu Can reluctantly followed. Not long after, the reporting officer saw Liang Jianfang and four others turning north in the gaps between the trees and rocks. Although Chen Sangliang carefully ordered the soldiers to count the number of people carefully, he did not know Liu Xiaomou also joined Li Er's team when the reporting soldiers were disarming, so as soon as the reporting soldiers saw clearly that they were four enemies, Chen Sangliang didn't even blink, and immediately led the reporting soldiers to report to the country. The army turned north and continued to pursue Li Er, an old enemy with whom he had been entangled for many years. Chasing the enemy in the woods with cavalry is of course as painful as it is, but fortunately, Liang Jianfang, Wang Huaiwen and others, who also dare not abandon their horses, also ride on horseback. They are also slow due to the terrain, so they have a comparative advantage in physical strength. After pursuing for another five or six miles, the general of the Baoguo Army finally caught up with Liang Jianfang and others at the edge of the forest area. Liang Jianfang, who had already entered the open area, saw something bad and hurriedly ordered: "Zhu Can Huaiwen, you run to the northeast, and I will escort Miss Liu to the northwest." Wang Huaiwen agreed, but Zhu Can said calmly: "General Liang, it's better to Let me escort Miss Liu to the northwest, while you and General Wang go to the northeast." Hearing this, Liang Jianfang was stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and roared: "You are afraid of losing money, right? Stay away from Taiyuan, but there must be a large number of defeated Dingyang troops there, who can just cover you!" "Then General Liang, why don't you suffer this loss?" Zhu Can asked with a smile, and suddenly pointed at Liang Jianfang's back and said in surprise: "Right. Commander! Why is he back? " "The right commander is back?" Liang Jianfang and Wang Huaiwen were both startled. When they turned around subconsciously, Liang Jianfang suddenly felt a sound in the back of his head. When he turned back quickly, he saw Zhu Chan struck the saber in front of him, and his head flew into the air! Liang Jianfang was killed in a sneak attack. Zhu Can immediately swung his knife to kill Wang Huaiwen. Unfortunately, Wang Huaiwen was already prepared. He raised his knife to hold Zhu Can and asked angrily: "Zhu Can, are you crazy or stupid? Why? "Kill Brother Liang?" "You are the ones who are stupid!" Zhu Can said with a sneer: "Li Erlang asked the four of us to go north, and he went to Taiyuan alone to ask for help. He obviously wanted to use the four of us as scapegoats. , distract the pursuers for him, so that he can take the opportunity to escape! You are stupid, I am not a fool, I can see this! Our horse has already started to foam, how can it outrun His Highness the Tang Dynasty? "The pursuers led by him?" "Even so, it's what we deserve!" Wang Huaiwen said angrily: "The right commander is very kind to us, and it is our honor to die for him!" Zhu Can, who was held by Wang Huaiwen and estimated that he would not be able to hold Wang Huaiwen in a moment, took a step back. His left arm suddenly strangled Liu Xiaomou's neck, and the saber in his right hand was quickly placed on Liu Xiaomou's neck. He said with a sinister smile: "Wang Huaiwen , I have something good for you. If you are smart, join me in dedicating this little girl to His Highness the King of Tang Dynasty. This little girl is not bad looking, and she is Li Erlang¡¯s married wife. His Highness the King of Tang Dynasty will definitely like it. Our glory and wealth will also be with us. "It will be there soon." Wang Huaiwen roared wildly and came up to slash Zhu Can with his knife in an attempt to save Liu Xiaomou. Zhu Can tightened Liu Xiaomou's neck and carefully parried with the knife. He had tears in his eyes before.Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaomou finally shed tears in her beautiful eyes. She felt sad and sad in her heart, but she didn't know why she was crying. She didn't know whether she was crying for the tragic fate of being a prisoner, or for her brother. Sad to be captured and destroyed by the main force, or crying after being abandoned by her fianc¨¦ as a scapegoat When the devastated Liu Xiaomou came back to his senses, he was already surrounded by soldiers with fluttering white robes. Wang Huaiwen lay down on the More than a dozen steps away, Zhu Can transformed into two parts. Zhu Can knelt in front of a man's horse and said some words begging for life. When Liu Xiaomou raised his eyes again to see the person who accepted Zhu Can's kneeling, he once Chen Sangliang's face, which he had seen once before, appeared in front of Liu Xiaomou again. After listening to Zhu Can's report on Li Er's plan to escape with a somewhat livid face, Chen Sangliang's face certainly looked as ugly as possible. The police officers who were chasing after him next to him were also furious, shouting to find someone to vent their anger on. . Seeing these situations and seeing Chen Sangliang's terrifying face, Liu Xiaomou's heart involuntarily reached her throat again, and she subconsciously thought of the tragic end of the enemy's family members captured by Ding Yang's army. Fortunately, Chen Sangliang is also a person who is very good at controlling his emotions. After taking a deep breath, Chen Sangliang forced down the unhappiness in his heart, raised his head and smiled at Liu Xiaomou: "Xianmei, we meet again." "You , what do you want to do with me?" Liu Xiaomou asked tremblingly. "I won't do anything to you." Chen Sangliang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xian sister, not to mention that you and Li Erlang are only engaged but not yet married. Even if you are already married, I have never abused my enemies. As a family member, you will be treated well in my army, and I will let you meet Liu Wuzhou, but I will not kill you" At this point, Chen Sangliang paused, and then added. : "It's just that you will never be officially married to Li Erlang again. I will not marry you to a vicious villain who uses his fianc¨¦e as a tool to escape. This is equivalent to pushing you into a pit of fire." There were more tears in Liu Xiaomou's eyes, and finally she was still I couldn't help covering my face and crying. Zhu Can kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, begging Chen Sangliang to spare his life and give him a chance to atone for his sins. Chen Sangliang originally wanted to kill this cannibal who had zero loyalty, but after a second thought, Chen Sangliang changed his mind and said to Zhu Can: "Well, I see you still have time to repent. For your own sake, I can consider giving you a chance to atone for your sins. But now Come on, cover his face with a cloth and take him back to Yuci to be imprisoned slowly."
