Fenglingdu is the junction of Hedong County, Zuo Fengyi and Hongnong County.

This is not only the location where the main trunk of the Yellow River flows, but also the place where Lanshui and Fenshui converge.

This ferry, with Taihua Mountain in the southwest and Leishou Mountain in the north, is the center of Guanzhong and a place where soldiers must fight.

"Ah Xiu, quickly escort Your Majesty to Fenglingdu, you must not let Li Dao and Guo Yan catch up."

In the eastern suburbs of Rui Township, a big man covered in blood shouted loudly at another young general.

"Zhang Jixiu is leaving!"

As soon as Dahan finished speaking, a thunderous voice sounded from behind them, and Dahan suddenly became colorless.

This big man is Zhang Ji, and the young general in his twenties is his nephew Zhang Xiu.

Originally, Zhang Ji and Fan Chou, after seeing Jia Xu's letter, wanted to bring Emperor Liu Xie to Chen Xu as a gift for their audience.

But I didn't want to, but this news was somehow known by Li Dao and Guo Yan.

The two of them pretended not to know about this at first, but they set up an ambush on the road that Fan Chou and Zhang Ji had to go east.

With a deliberate calculation or not, plus the forces of Fan Chou and Zhang Ji are already weaker. So after the battle, the two of their men were almost completely destroyed.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiu and Fan Chou's bravery, they desperately protected Emperor Xian to break out. I'm afraid that Liu Xie will be snatched away by Li Dao and Guo Yan again.

Fan Chou and Zhang Ji were defeated, and the two were also separated in the process of being hunted down.

Now only Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are carrying more than 200 people to the east to protect Emperor Xian.

But he didn't want to, Guo Yan chased after him, and he was determined to catch up with Zhang Ji and snatch back the Son of Heaven. As for Li Dao, he took his men and horses to chase and kill Fan Chou.

After all, on the night of Fan Chou's mutiny, he killed several of Li Wei's own people. Even his favorite son died in the chaos.

This kind of great enmity is as deep as the ocean, thicker than the sky.

It is precisely because of this that Li Dao ignored the Son of Heaven who was snatched away by Zhang Ji and insisted on chasing and killing Fan Chou.

Fortunately, Zhang Ji was able to take Emperor Liu Xie to live until now.

Seeing Guo Yan lead people to chase and kill, Zhang Ji's face suddenly changed. Now that the two of them have completely torn their faces, even if they are captured by Guo Yan, he has only one way to die.

"Ah Xiu, you hurry up and lead Your Majesty away, and you must send Your Majesty to Chen Bingzhou. I just fought for this life, and I have to cut off the queen for you! ”

Zhang Ji knew that after the soldiers and horses were damaged, they no longer had the capital to bargain with Chen Xu.

Zhang Xiu defected to Chen Xu, and the only step to enter the body was only Emperor Liu Xie.

Zhang Ji's age is not young, he has no children under his knees, and he only hopes that this brave nephew can glorify the lintel for the Zhang family.

Zhang Xiu hugged the thirteen-year-old Emperor Liu Xie, and shouted sadly: "Uncle! ”

"Escort Your Majesty and leave, don't take care of me!"

After speaking, Zhang Ji beckoned the hundreds of soldiers beside him, and killed the oncoming Guo Yan army without fear of death.

Zhang Xiu's eyes were filled with tears, he wiped a handful of tears, and held back to keep the tears from falling. Then, without looking back, he rode his horse and fled to Fenglingdu.

And the soldiers who followed him were only about twenty people.

The water of the Yellow River is rolling eastward, and the waves in the river are struggling to beat the riverbank.

Zhang Xiu took more than 20 subordinates, ran half a pillar of incense, and finally came to Fenglingdu. However, there was not a single boat on the rolling river.

"General, what should I do?"

A pro-soldier had an anxious look on his face, and there was unconcealed fear in his voice.

Although they were extremely loyal to Zhang Xiu, they were even willing to die for him. However, ants are still greedy for life, let alone humans.

In the face of death, no one can be unafraid.

Although Zhang Xiu was anxious, he forced himself to stabilize his mind and said to the soldiers beside him: "Wait and disperse to see if there are any fishing boats nearby." ”

The soldiers received the order and hurriedly scattered in search of the fishing boats.

"Your Majesty, due to the urgency of the matter, the last general has offended Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty for forgiveness."

Zhang Xiu looked at the pale face of Emperor Liu Xie, so he hugged him off the war horse and knelt down on one knee to salute him.

"Aiqing is anxious to protect her, how can I blame the general?"

Emperor Xian remembered the thrilling battle, wiped a handful of blood splashed on his face, and forced himself to calm down.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu hurriedly said to a soldier beside him: "Hurry up and get some water, so that Your Majesty can wash the dirt on his face." ”

The soldier hesitated and said, "General, where is the vessel for water now?" ”

Looking at the pro-soldiers with their capes, Zhang Xiu's heart was a little blocked.

After thinking for a while, he took off his helmet and said to the soldier: "Wash your helmet, and then bring it with water to wash your majesty's face." ”

Helmets aren't a bargain. Except for general-level generals, ordinary soldiers can't afford to wear them at all.

The soldier held Zhang Xiu's helmet, did not dare to slack off, and hurried forward to fetch water.

Seeing this, Emperor Xian was a little moved in his heart. He saw the wound on Zhang Xiu's left arm and asked with concern, "General Zhang, is the injury on your arm okay?" ”

Zhang Xiu said indifferently: "The generals are fighting on the battlefield, what is the big deal if they are slightly injured?" ”

Looking at the free and easy Zhang Xiu, Emperor Xian felt a little envious in his heart.

He raised his eyes to look at the boiling water of the Yellow River, and suddenly his eyes were full of tears, and he said sadly: "Although I am the Son of Heaven, since I ascended the throne, I have been constrained everywhere and have been like a puppet. ”

"Now the heavens are wrathed, and drought and locust plagues have brought down the people of the world. Could it be that the man's qi has really been exhausted? ”

Hearing Emperor Xian's words, Zhang Xiu also felt Qi Ran. He couldn't help but comfort: "Your Majesty, don't worry, when the ministers cross the Yellow River, you will go to the champion Hou." ”

"The champion Hou Yongguan is loyal to the three armies, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and will definitely be able to revive the Han family."

Liu Xie wiped a handful of tears, stared at Zhang Xiu with burning eyes, and said, "Qing really thinks that the champion Hou is a loyal minister?" ”

Zhang Xiu's face was a little hot, he didn't dare to look directly at Emperor Xian, so he had to turn his head and whispered: "In any case, Your Majesty's situation is much better than staying by the side of the brutal Li Dao and Guo Yan. ”

When the emperor heard the names of Li Dao and Guo Yan, his body couldn't help but tremble.

It can be seen how much he is afraid of these two people in his heart.

didn't bother with Liu Xie anymore, Zhang Xiu looked behind him, and secretly thought in his heart: "If you can't find a boat, I'm afraid that Fenglingdu will be my Zhang Xiu's burial place." ”

Thinking of Zhang Ji after the break, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but feel a little colic in his heart. Zhang Xiu lost his father at an early age, and Zhang Ji treated him like a parent.

Seeing his uncle die after breaking off, Zhang Xiu couldn't calm down in his heart.

"General, I've found a fishing boat!"

Zhang Xiu was in a daze, when he suddenly heard the voice of a pro-soldier, and he was overjoyed.

"However, the river bank next to the fishing boat is very steep, and we can't get on the boat at all!"

Zhang Xiu's heart sank, and he said secretly: "Could it be that the sky is going to kill me?" ”
