146.Chapter 146: The Snow is Coming
"Yide be careful!"
Seeing Chen Xu's return gun, Liu Bei and Guan Yu were shocked. Seeing that Zhang Fei's big black horse blocked a shot for him, the two of them were relieved.
Zhang Fei has now fallen off the horse, and Guan Yu was afraid that Zhang Fei would lose, so he slapped his horse and danced his knife and rushed into the formation.
While Chen Xu lamented Zhang Fei's luck, he was also relieved.
If Zhang Fei really died under his gun just after his debut, I'm afraid that Chen Xu will sigh when he thinks of this in the future, right?
In any case, it is not a pleasant thing to kill your favorite historical figures with your own hands.
But if Chen Xu wants to gain a foothold in this era, he has no choice. He can't act because of his own emotions and preferences, but he must always think about how to strengthen his own strength and how to weaken the enemy's power.
Zhang Fei has already fallen off the horse, if Chen Xu comes forward to fight at this time, he will definitely have some advantages. But when he saw the red-faced man coming from the horse, he knew that he couldn't kill Zhang Fei.
"That's it! I brought troops here not to fight, but I didn't expect to meet Zhang Fei here. ”
Chen Xu put away his gun and reined in his horse, and said to Zhang Fei, who was vigilant and defensive: "I don't want to have warriors like you among the officers and soldiers. Even though I am in a hostile position, I have a lot of affection for you. ”
"Since your horse is dead, I will no longer fight you. If it's too late today, it's not a good time to fight, if he meets again one day, he will fight with Yide again! ”
After finishing speaking, Chen Xu slapped his horse and retreated a distance, bent down to pick up the corpse of the Yellow Turban handsome who died in battle, and then took him back to the main formation.
The Yellow Turban Army saw that their own Qu Shuai was full of might, killed the enemy general's horse, and did not take advantage of the danger of others, and returned to the battle.
For a while, the Yellow Turban Army waved their weapons and shouted loudly: "Qu Shuai is mighty!" Qu Shuai is mighty! ”
How did they know that Chen Xu, who was just a showman, was just putting on a show. If he took the opportunity to kill Zhang Fei, who had lost the war horse, let alone whether he could kill him.
Even if he could kill him, Guan Yu had already come over on a war horse, and he would definitely not give him time to kill Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu is an enemy of 10,000 people, and he is older than Zhang Fei, so his current martial arts must surpass Zhang Fei. If Chen Xu was allowed to fight with Guan Yu, he was completely unsure.
So Chen Xu said some nice things and established a tall image that did not take advantage of people's danger.
Zhang Fei looked at Chen Xu who was leaving, his eyes were a little complicated.
He has a good background, he is the son of a local Haoqiang in Zhuo County, and his family is quite wealthy. In addition, he has outstanding martial arts, and he is a young man.
If it weren't for Liu Bei's reputation as a Han clan relative, and he was bold and generous, and he was quite famous in the local area, he would not have defected to Liu Bei.
But now, Zhang Fei was almost killed by Chen Xu, who was younger than him, and he couldn't help but feel a little decadent in his heart.
In the past, he heard the name of Chen Xu and knew that he was invincible and invincible, and he was very unconvinced. After this fight with Chen Xu, he was completely convinced.
Zhang Fei not only admired Chen Xu's martial arts and military command ability, but also admired his fairness and integrity, and did not take advantage of others.
Zhang Fei thought to himself, if Chen Xu fell just now, he would definitely not be merciful, and he would definitely take advantage of the situation to kill them all.
Chen Xu didn't expect that he had no choice but to put on a show and actually won Zhang Fei's admiration.
In fact, it wasn't just Zhang Fei, after Guan Yu heard his words, he saw Chen Xu returning to the battle, and he was also in awe of him in his heart.
If Chen Xu knew the thoughts of the two of them, he would definitely retort loudly: "God is pitiful, I really don't have the confidence to kill Zhang Fei before leaving, otherwise I will definitely beat the water dog!" ”
"Stomp, stomp!"
Guan Yu rode his war horse to Zhang Fei's side, and asked with concern, "Yide, are you okay?" ”
Zhang Fei shook the spear in his hand, forcibly cheered up, and said, "It's okay! ”
Then he glanced at the big black horse that had fallen to the ground, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
This horse has been with him for several years, and Zhang Fei has long had feelings for it, but he doesn't want to be on the battlefield today, and it saved his life.
Guan Yu seemed to see that Zhang Fei was a little decadent, so he comforted: "Yide, don't give up on yourself, Chen Wenzhao is slightly better today, and if you practice martial arts diligently in the future, you will definitely be able to defeat him if you fight again." ”
Zhang Fei nodded and did not speak.
Chen Xu returned to his own formation, handed over the body of the handsome man to others, and then ordered: "The whole army retreats!" ”
When the Yellow Turban Army heard this, they were a little reluctant.
A little marshal said: "Qu Shuai, you defeated that black guy just now, and our army's morale is high, why don't you take this opportunity to attack the officers and soldiers?" ”
The rest of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were also a little eager to try, and Chen Xu's face sank when he saw this.
After defeating Huangfu Song, Chen Xu's Yellow Turban Army had already gained some confidence. Even in the face of the 20,000 elite officers and soldiers who had set up their positions, they dared to shake hard.
Chen Xu knew that if he didn't suppress their arrogance, sooner or later, these arrogant soldiers would suffer a big loss.
Without explaining to everyone, Chen Xu just waved the spear in his hand and shouted: "The whole army retreats!" ”
"Woooooo
The sound of gold sounded, and the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, under the leadership of Chen Xu, quickly withdrew from Lingshou. It didn't take long for it to disappear from the sight of the officers and soldiers.
Lu Zhi looked at the departing Yellow Turban Army and sighed slightly.
"Advance and retreat are well-founded, win without arrogance, do not take advantage of people's danger, Chen Wenzhao is really very human! Such talents were framed by eunuchs and forced into the camp of the Yellow Turban Army. What a pity, a pity, a pity! ”
Zhang Fei walked to Lu Zhi, knelt on the ground and said: "The last general failed to kill Chen Wenzhao, and he lost the trust of the general. Not only that, but he almost died under Chen Wenzhao's gun, which frustrated the spirit of our army, and asked the general to punish him! ”
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded: "General, Chen Wenzhao is brave and martial, and although Yide was defeated, he is also willing." ”
"Although a certain and Yide are not brothers, they are like brothers, if the general wants to punish Yide, a certain is willing to accept the guilt with Yide."
Guan Yu also knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to accept the sin with Yide!" ”
Zhang Fei was very moved when he saw Liu Bei and Guan Yu. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't say it.
Lu Zhi chuckled lightly and said, "Why did I say that I would punish Yide? Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and Yide began to kill a Yellow Turban general, which is a great achievement. ”
After speaking, he helped Liu Bei and the three of them, comforted them softly, and then led the troops back to the city.
It's not that he doesn't want to pursue the Yellow Turban Army, but chasing and killing the cavalry with foot soldiers is simply a fantasy.
The foot soldiers fought against the cavalry, and they could only wait for the cavalry to attack, but could not take the initiative to attack.
Let's not talk about whether we can catch up with the cavalry, as soon as the foot soldiers move, the phalanx formed by the foot will naturally produce loopholes. If the cavalry finds the right opportunity to charge, the foot soldiers who do not form a formation will definitely not be able to block the onslaught of the cavalry.
Moreover, as a result, the trap prepared by the officers and men in advance will be ineffective.
After all the officers and soldiers withdrew into the city, Lu Zhi looked at the direction in which Chen Xu and the others left, and thought in his heart: "If the Yellow Turban Army leaves this time, it will definitely escape into the mountains, and our army will no longer be able to fight with them." ”
"Now that it's the end of the year, if the Yellow Turban Army is really hidden in the mountains, I can only return to the court."
The sky was a little gloomy, the cold wind was howling, Chen Xu looked at the sky, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"I don't know what happened to Yuan Hao and Yang Feng to build Dazhai? In this weather, there is bound to be a heavy snowfall. If we can't settle everyone down as soon as possible, I don't know how many people will freeze to death at the end of this year. ”
After fighting with Zhang Fei, Chen Xu led the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army to the northwest to chase after the homeless people in Bai Rao's belt.
Things have developed to this point, and the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army has also failed. Chen Xu has no need at all, and then leads his soldiers and officers and soldiers to fight to the death.
Therefore, after calculating that the officers and soldiers could no longer catch up with the displaced people led by Bai Rao, Chen Xu immediately led the soldiers and left the land of right and wrong in Lingshou.
Very rarely, Lu Zhi did not lead the officers and soldiers in pursuit. He just sent a small group of scouts to constantly scout the movements of the Yellow Turban Army.
"Qu Shuai, Bai Rao Xiaoshuai and others are more than ten miles away from here."
A scout patted the horse in front of Chen Xu and said loudly.
Chen Xu nodded and ordered the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army to speed up the march.
The Yellow Turban cavalry advanced lightly, and caught up with Bai Rao and the others in half an hour. At this time, Bai Rao already knew that Chen Xu was coming, so he brought a few people to Chen Xu and reported to him about the affairs.
Bai Rao's ability is good, this chaotic team is actually well organized by him.
Chen Xu listened carefully to his report and a smile appeared on his face.
"This team can move forward so quickly, Bai Shuai is indispensable!"
As long as his subordinates have the ability and can do things, Chen Xu will not be stingy with his praise.
Bai Rao's face was overjoyed when he heard Qu Shuai's praise, and then said: "We only need to drive north for half a day to reach the bank of the Lushui River." ”
"The news sent by the military advisor said that they had set up camp fifty miles from the source of the water. This place is close to the mountain and the water, the terrain on the mountain is vast, and the roads under the mountain are intricate, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
"In addition, this place is the intersection of the three states, and the imperial court does not attach importance to it, so it is a very good place to go."
"We just have to go up the river and walk another day into the mountains. The road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and if you want to reach the camp, you need to walk for two days. ”
Bai Rao admired Tian Feng's amazing vision, and he was very much looking forward to returning to the cottage as soon as possible to see what the nest was like in the future.
At the beginning of the Yellow Turban Uprising, he followed Zhang Bao, and it has been almost a year now.
Since Zhang Jiao's death, he has been worried every day, for fear that he will be in a different place one day. Nowadays, it is undoubtedly a great pleasure to be able to find a place to rest.
Chen Xu continued to look at the sky, and then said: "The heavy snow is coming, tell everyone not to rest first, and to light torches at night to speed up the march." Otherwise, when the snow falls, many of us will freeze to death. ”
Bai Rao's heart sank when he heard this, and he hurriedly went down to convey the order.
