The mountain road is narrow and rugged, and the army of Guanzhong winds for dozens of miles, standing on a high place and looking at it, there is almost no trace of the team.

"Guanzhong urgent, Guanzhong urgent!"

The sound of horses' hooves, and the knight's slightly flushed face, made the soldiers get out of the way.

This cavalryman is very skillful, and the war horse under his crotch is not an ordinary thing, even on the winding road, he can still gallop wildly.

Guan Ping's ears moved slightly, and he whispered: "Hey, it seems to be about the emergency report." ”

Chen Xu grabbed the reins of the war horse, turned the horse's head and looked behind, but did not see anything unusual, but could faintly hear some sounds.

"There is really an urgent news coming from Guanzhong, could it be another good news?"

A few days ago, Wen Ping died in battle, and the news of the Jingzhou army's withdrawal had come, although everything was under control, Chen Xu still breathed a long sigh of relief.

The rest of the Guanzhong generals also dissipated a lot of sorrow in their hearts.

"Stomp, stomp!"

A fast horse turned the winding path, and the figure entered Chen Xu's eyes.

Seeing the black-clothed and black-armored figure from afar, the knight couldn't help but wave the letter in his hand and shouted loudly: "Lord, good news, good news!" ”

"That's good news."

Even if he had already guessed in his heart, Chen Xu was still very happy at this time.

"Phew!"

The knight came to Chen Xu's side, hurriedly pulled the reins of the war horse, and said, "Lord, Cao Mengde led the troops to retreat; and the state was victorious, and Yuan Benchu also retreated. ”

"This is a letter from Kabasaka Ling."

Chen Xu was even happier when he heard this, took the letter and read the contents in detail, and immediately couldn't help laughing.

The generals also craned their necks, wanting to read the contents of the letter.

"Yuan Benchu's troops attacked and merged with the state in three ways, Gongtai broke Gaolan, Junge broke Yanliang, Wenyuan held Yanmen County, and there was a small victory, and the Yuan army was defeated and retreated in three ways, and returned in vain."

"Cao Mengde first attacked Jiguan, but was rejected by Bodao, and then solemnly led the trapped camp to arrive, and Cao Mengde led the troops to retreat."

"Cao Chun and Guo Jia led the tiger and leopard cavalry to attack Hangu Pass, but they were also defeated by the trapped camp that went to support, and they returned in vain."

Chen Xu stroked his beard, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

Of course, he deliberately concealed Cao Cao's plundering of Hanoi County, Henan Yin County, and the people in the territory.

In fact, after Cao Cao completely captured those two county towns, he was not willing to lead his troops to retreat, and wanted to make a comeback to attack Jiguan again.

But he didn't want to, first Zhao Yun led 10,000 cavalry back to help, and then heard the news of Yuan Shao's withdrawal, so he knew that the general trend had gone.

It's funny to say, Yuan Shao's reason for withdrawing his troops was that the Jingzhou soldiers were incompetent, and Cao's army was not enterprising, which made it difficult for him to stand alone.

In fact, at that time, although Cao Cao gave up attacking Keiguan, he was also capturing Hanoi County and Henan Yin's county.

After hearing that Zhao Yun came to help and Yuan Shao withdrew his troops, Cao Cao did not want to be told by the world that he did not want to forge ahead, so he led the army back to attack Jiguan for a while.

Of course, this siege was a complete false shot, just for show.

On the second day after coming to the city of Jiguan, Cao Cao took out a letter in front of the battle, and read the contents with a heavy face, and then he was reluctant to lead the troops to retreat.

As for the content of the letter, it is naturally the civil strife in Jingzhou and the withdrawal of Yuan Shao's troops.

In this way, Cao Cao sent troops under the banner of rescuing the Son of Heaven, but withdrew with a sense of grief and indignation, silently complaining about the inadequacy of his allies.

In the final analysis, among the princes of the Three Roads, Cao Cao was the latest to withdraw his troops.

Looking at the people with ecstatic expressions on their faces, Chen Xu couldn't help but shake his head: "The alliance of princes seems to be strong, but after all, it is still not united enough. ”

Just like during the Warring States Period, the six countries knew that Qin was strong and wanted to curb the development of Qin, but several joint attacks on Qin were in vain.

The alliance between the six kingdoms was often broken by the Qin state, which eventually led to the destruction of the six kingdoms one by one.

Retracting his thoughts, Chen Xu looked at the clear sky, and suddenly felt that there was no longer the slightest haze in his heart, and his worries were gone, and he could also put all his energy on Yizhou.

Red flags were waving in the wind, and the Guanzhong army marched for another day, and finally arrived at the foot of Linqiong City.

Although Linqiong is not far from Gangwon, due to the twists and turns of the road and the need to transport grain and grass, it was still delayed for three days after all.

The army was encamped thirty miles from Linqiong, and after dinner, the soldiers performed their duties.

Chen Xu didn't know why, he always felt a little depressed during this time, and there was occasionally a hint of throbbing pain in his heart.

"Could it be that you are sick?"

Chen Xu summoned several of the best military doctors, and after a detailed examination of him, the military doctors came to the conclusion that he was in very good health.

The examination was fruitless, and Chen Xu did not embarrass the military doctor, but only felt a little uneasy.

When Chen Hu learned that his brother had summoned a military doctor, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly came to meet Chen Xu and asked if there was any serious problem with his body.

Shaking his head, Chen Xu said, "Ah Hu, but please rest assured, my brother's health is fine." ”

"It's just that for more than a month, for some reason, I always feel a little in a trance, and my heart is also a little faintly painful, or maybe I am overworked and hallucinated."

Unexpectedly, Chen Hu's face actually showed a look of horror, and he stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chen Xu was surprised and asked, "Ah Hu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Chen Hu took a deep breath and said, "Big brother, during this time, I often feel a little in a trance, as if something bad will happen." ”

"Could it be a warning from heaven?"

Chen Xu suddenly made a 'pop' sound in his heart, and he was actually a little chattering.

He was also an atheist before, but the bizarre thing of crossing and rebirth has happened, and Chen Xu has already destroyed his three views.

What's more, Zhang Yu is even more proficient in divination and astrology, which makes Chen Xu feel a little in awe of ghosts and gods.

As a veteran of the battlefield, the intuition of a warrior is also a very wonderful thing, and sometimes it can even help him to warn in advance.

It's as if Xu Huang fought with Yan Yan at the beginning, because of his intuition, he saved his life and made Xu Huang turn defeat into victory.

"It seems that the march will have to be cautious in the future."

That night, the two brothers slept together and chatted until late before they slowly fell asleep.

There is always a touch of darkness before dawn, Chen Xu was asleep, and suddenly saw Chen Jing's figure, only to see Chen Jing standing far away, smiling and waving to him.

Chen Xu wanted to come forward to watch, but there was no way to get close no matter what, and Chen Jing's figure was getting farther and farther away.

It's just that faintly, Chen Xu can see that there is a red mark on Chen Jing's neck, and blood keeps flowing out of it.

"Ah Jing!"

Seeing that Chen Jing's figure had completely dissipated, Chen Xu suddenly felt a pain in his heart, sat up suddenly, opened his eyes and roared.

"Ah Jing!"

At this moment, Chen Hu, who was sleeping next to him, also sat up and stood up, staring at the tiger and screaming.

"Lord, what's going on?"

Tonight was the night watch, and when he heard two exclamations in the tent, he hurried in with men and had the oil lamps lit.

The light, which was not bright, shone on the faces of the two Chen Xu brothers, reflecting a pale color. Chen Xu was sweating profusely, looking frightened and uneasy.

Seeing the expressions of the two, Dian Man breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought: "It turns out that the lord and General Chen Hu have a nightmare." ”

"Ah Hu, what did you dream about?"

At this moment, a hoarse voice sounded, and I saw Chen Xu staring at Chen Hu, and his whole body was trembling.

Chen Hu stabilized his mind and said, "I dreamed of Ah Jing, there was a blood mark on his neck, I wanted to get close to him to watch carefully, but I couldn't get close anyway. ”

Hearing this, Chen Xu suddenly felt cold, and even a little dizzy.

During this time, he and Chen Hu had a faint pain in their chests, as if something bad was about to happen. The two of them actually had the same dream again tonight, so it is very likely that Chen Jing encountered an accident.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Xu forcibly calmed himself down, and kept telling himself in his heart: "It's just a dream, it's just a dream." ”

"Lord!"

Dianman stood aside and shouted with some puzzlement.

Xiang Dianman waved his hand, Chen Xu's voice was still a little hoarse, and said, "It's okay, it's just a nightmare." ”

With a long sigh of relief, he led his soldiers out and continued to faithfully fulfill his duty of vigil.

Although Chen Hu looked like a big old man, he was also coarse and fine, and asked, "Brother also dreamed of Ah Jing?" ”

Chen Xu nodded solemnly and said, "It's exactly the same as what you dreamed." ”

"Brother, something must have happened to Ah Jing."

Chen Hu suddenly became emotional, grabbed Chen Xu's shoulder, and his eyes were a little red.

"Stomp, stomp!"

Hearing Chen Hu's roar, Dian Man led everyone to rush in again.

"All of them retreat, and they are not allowed to come in without my orders."

Chen Xu was extremely irritable, and he was not as pleasant as before, and waved his hand to signal Dian Man and the others to go out.

Dianman responded with a bang and retreated again.

The more Chen Hu thought about it, the more scared he felt, although Chen Jing liked to tease him when he was a child, he often bullied Chen Jing with his strength and snatched Chen Jing's snacks.

However, the depth of the relationship between the two brothers is not under Chen Xu.

Thinking that something might have happened to Chen Jing, Chen Hu's emotions were a little out of control, and his body couldn't help but burst out with murderous energy.

"Hu, calm down, calm down!"

Looking at Chen Hu, who was on the verge of eruption, Chen Xu held his head with both hands and comforted him.

"This is a dream, and it will only be a dream, Ah Jing will definitely be fine."

Chen Xu was not only telling Chen Hu this, but also telling himself that he definitely didn't want Chen Jing to have an accident.

However, the look of worry in Chen Xu's eyes could not be concealed no matter how he could.

Hearing his brother's comfort, Chen Hu's emotions slowly calmed down, and he said to himself: "Yes, this is just a dream, Ah Jing will definitely not have an accident." ”

"Stomp, stomp!"

At this moment, Dianman rushed in with a sweat-soaked letter with a panicked face.

Seeing the pawn, Chen Xu was slightly unhappy in his heart.

Didn't Fang Cai himself say that he couldn't come in unless he summoned it?

But he was a little dissatisfied at most, but he didn't say anything, after all, this is not a big deal, and he watched Dianman grow up, and he regarded Dianman as his own.

If it weren't for the fact that the mood swings are too big now, Fang Cai wouldn't have spoken to Dianman like that.

Dian Man tried to hide the panic on his face, and handed over a letter to him, saying, "Lord, Liangzhou is urgent." ”

"Liangzhou Emergency?"

When the two brothers heard this, they both felt their ears ringing, and Chen Hu rushed over and snatched the letter.

Ignoring the outermost characters, Chen Hu hurriedly tore open the envelope.

After reading the contents, he tore it to shreds and roared angrily: "Fake, this is all fake!" ”

Chen Hu's eyes were a little red, he stepped forward to lift the collar of his coat, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Where is the messenger?" He actually dares to pass on false news, I will break it into pieces! ”

"Hu, calm down!"

When Chen Xu saw the words on the envelope, he had already guessed what was going on, so he forcibly held back the grief in his heart and stepped forward to break Chen Hu's hands.

It's just that the muscles on Chen Xu's face are constantly beating, and he can't stop no matter what.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Breaking away from Chen Hu's hands, Dianman coughed twice and said, "The messenger came from Liangzhou non-stop day and night, and was overworked, and after coming to the camp to hand over the letter to others, he was already unconscious. ”

"Quack, quack!"

Chen Hu clenched his fists, and a bone explosion sounded, and he roared angrily: "Ma Chao, I will break your body into ten thousand pieces!" Thousands of corpses! ”

After roaring, Chen Hu immediately knelt on the ground and said sadly: "Brother, Ah Jing was killed by Ma Chao, I will personally lead the troops to kill Ben Liangzhou and cut Ma Chao with a thousand knives!" ”

"Please also ask my brother to give me soldiers and horses!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Hu's forehead slammed on the ground, and a touch of red bloomed.

Chen Xu also felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground when he couldn't stand.

He picked up Chen Hu's torn letters, pieced them together and read the contents, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Shaking off a handful of tears and helping Chen Hu up, Chen Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Ah Jing is not only your brother, but also my brother." ”

"This time, I will personally lead the army, slaughter the Qiang people in Longxi, cut out Ma Chao's heart, and raze his nine clans!"

The murderous aura on the two brothers permeated the camp tent like a substance, and even the pawn felt a little unbearable.

"Stomp, stomp!"

At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded.

But seeing Tian Feng, Jia Xu, Dian Wei, Lu Bu and others, they all rushed in and came to Chen Xu.

It turned out that Xu Huang, who was in charge of patrolling around the camp, knew that something big was going to happen when he saw a few eye-catching big characters on the envelope when he got the letter.

Xu Huang didn't send the letter over for a while, but sent someone to inform the rest of the Guanzhong generals in advance, so everyone came in such a timely manner.

Chen Xu's murderous words were also heard by everyone.
