Xuanyuan Shengcai's words sounded reasonable, but Huang Yan felt that it was simply whimsical, thinking that this Xuanyuan Shengcai had really lost his mind because of anger.

At this time, he only felt that his chest was suffocated, and he was weak, although he ran for more than ten miles, but the physique of this group of soldiers was really good, and the speed did not slow down, Hu Dahai was burly and strong, Huang Yan was lying on him, but it seemed to be lying on the back of a brute bull, but Hu Dahai's speed was not comparable to that of a brute bull.

Life and death were at stake, and everyone wanted to meet the cavalry earlier, so they didn't stop walking, and followed Xuanyuan Shengcai's seven or eight subordinates, and the few gatekeepers who later served gradually slowed down, obviously a little weak, and the six subordinates who rushed out of Zhizhou Mansion with Xuanyuan Shengcai earlier, although they ran out of more than ten miles, they were full of body, and they didn't even breathe quickly, and those soldiers were gradually distanced.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the night breeze is blowing.

The moon was sinking in the west, and everyone was dressed in armor, and their feet did not stop, and they were already drenched in sweat and soaked through their clothes.

"General, it's almost there!" I don't know how long it took, Huang Yan vaguely heard Yuan Liao's voice say, "There are a few more miles, and you can rush to the camp!" ”

Huang Yan was a little dazed, raised his head slightly, but saw that there was an empty space on all sides, and he didn't know where he was.

Sure enough, after running for a while, he vaguely heard the neighing of the horse in front, and faintly saw a little fire in front of him, Huang Yan's heart was slightly relieved, and along the way, he was a little confused, and he was always worried that Chu Huan's pursuers would catch up from behind, and he was scared, and at this time, he was slightly relieved to see that he was finally going to meet with the three hundred cavalry.

It seemed that because the target was in front of them, the pace of everyone did not slow down, but became faster, Huang Yan was on Hu Dahai's back, and he had already seen dozens of tents in front of him, with figures flickering, and many horses surrounding the camp.

"Who is it?" Before they got closer, five or six fast horses had already galloped up, all of them had drawn their swords in their hands, and their voices were cold: "This is where the soldiers are training, idle people, etc., dodge immediately!" ”

Yuan Liao had already rushed forward and scolded: "The eyes are on the buttocks, and you don't even know Lao Tzu?" ”

When several cavalrymen saw Yuan Liao, they dismounted one after another, and they all bowed their hands and said, "The little one should be damned!" ”

"Needless to say." Yuan Liao said: "Where is Song Hui?" General Xuanyuan is looking for him. ”

The cavalry had already seen Xuanyuan Shengcai standing behind Yuan Liao, how dare he slack off, and immediately someone went to the camp to summon him, Hu Dahai finally put Huang Yan down at this time, Huang Yan said politely, but everyone had already followed Xuanyuan Shengcai to the camp.

Before entering the camp, a group of people had already greeted him, and one of them stepped forward quickly, knelt down on one knee, and said respectfully: "Young General Song Hui, meet General Xuanyuan!" ”

Xuanyuan Sheng got straight to the point and said: "Are all the centaurs here?" ”

"General Hui, three hundred cavalry, all here."

"Good!" General Xuanyuan said: "Sue them, only bring dry food on your body, get on your horse, and follow Ben General to set off immediately!" ”

Song Hui didn't say much, and said respectfully: "The young general obeys the order!" Huang Yan had already taken a few breaths at this time, and then took a big sip of the water bag handed over to him, and then recovered some of his spirits, and stepped forward and asked, "Is the general going to Shuoquan?" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai looked left and right, frowned, and said in a low voice: "Lord Huang, when you attack Shuoquan, you must keep it extremely secret, otherwise!" ”

Huang Yan said solemnly: "General Xuanyuan, it is absolutely impossible to attack Shuoquan." ”

"What did you say?" Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes immediately became cold.

Huang Yan said: "General, think about it, Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Weiyue are not generals, but in less than a year, they were defeated by Chu Huan one after another, such a character, the general should know better than me." ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned, and said with a calm face: "What does Lord Huang mean?" ”

"Chu Huan mobilized troops and horses to seize Jiazhou, even if he was negligent, the gang under him would definitely remind him. Shuoquan is his foundation, and he can never take it lightly. Huang Yan said: "Now Shuoquan, the four gates must be closed, and it is not easy to enter the city, not necessarily because they expected the general to attack Shuoquan, but because their army is outside, so they naturally have to beware of other forces taking advantage of the situation!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai frowned even more, Yuan Liao hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "General, what Lord Huang said is not unreasonable, now is also an extraordinary time, Chu Huan will never neglect Shuoquan's defense!" ”

Xuanyuan Sheng was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Then according to Lord Huang's meaning, what should we do?" ”

"Go to Xigu Pass." Huang Yan immediately said: "Since Chu Huan has captured Jiazhou City, the next step must be to search for the general everywhere, although the northwest is vast, but after all, there are Chu Huan's men and horses everywhere, and the general stays in the northwest, I am afraid it will be more than lucky, at such a moment, the best way is to withdraw to Xigu Pass first, as long as he enters Xigu Pass, Chu Huan will pour all the soldiers and horses in the northwest, and it is impossible to cross the thunder pool one step!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "Do you want Da Xizhang to see the jokes of the general?" ”

"The general is serious." Huang Yan said: "Da Xizhang is the old man of Yiguo, and he has received the favor of your Xuanyuan family, and Chu Huan is scheming, and the general's success falls short, it is definitely not the general's loss, but Chu Huan's power in the northwest is too huge." The general withdrew to Xigu Pass, and one day, he will be able to lead the army back to the northwest and solve today's hatred! ”

Yuan Liao arched his hand and said: "General, Lord Huang's words are really heartfelt. Chu Huan has many henchmen in the northwest, and he has self-respect, with our current strength, he is really not his opponent, it is better to retreat to Xigu Pass first according to Lord Huang's intentions, as long as Xigu Pass is blocked, there is a shortage of grain and grass in the northwest, and the connection with the pass is cut off, it won't be long before we take action, the northwest self-driving will be in chaos, and when that time comes, the general will lead us to fight back! ”

Xuanyuan Sheng walked to the side and sat down, as if in contemplation, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't dare to speak.

In the camp, the military order was handed down, these three hundred cavalry were really well trained, some of them were already asleep, heard the military order, immediately got up as fast as possible to clean up, according to Xuanyuan Shengcai's instructions, all the soldiers were neatly dressed, equipped with sabers, distributed the military rations to the hands of everyone, each carried, and then led their respective horses, and gathered at the edge of the camp.

All of them were extremely fast, and in a moment, Song Hui had already walked over quickly and handed over his hand: "General, the men and horses are ready, and they can set off at any time!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded slightly, and slowly got up, Huang Yan and the others all looked at Xuanyuan Shengcai, I don't know what he is suitable for, Xuanyuan Shengcai looked up at the slightly dawning sky, was silent for a moment, and finally said hatefully: "Okay, the gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, let Chu Huan live happily for a while!" He commanded in a deep voice: "Tell me to go down, and all the horses will go to Xigu Pass with Ben!" ”

If the cavalry is a long-distance attack, a cavalry is equipped with at least two war horses or even three to change in turn, but the northwest war horses are lacking, and when training, it is natural to have one horse.

After Chu Huan successively defeated Xiao Huanzhang and Zhu Xuanyue, he unified the northwest war horses and organized them into the cavalry corps led by Xu Shao, and now there are no less than 20,000 war horses in Chu Huan's hands, but they are mainly concentrated in the area of Qingyuan Horse Farm.

Other cities, although they are also equipped with a certain number of war horses, but the number is small, Jiazhou is equipped with a total of 1,000 war horses, of which 500 are scattered to various counties, each county is equipped with nearly 100 war horses, and the capital city of Jiazhou, equipped with 500 war horses, part of which is used as the government for public use, these 300 cavalry, is also the only cavalry team in Jiazhou City.

Xuanyuan Shengcai and others originally had their own war horses, but they left from Jiazhou City in a panic, and the war horses were not brought, and they came here on foot overnight, and Song Hui naturally vacated the war horses for Xuanyuan Shengcai and others.

Huang Yan saw that Xuanyuan Sheng finally relented, willing to retreat to Xigu Pass, then relieved, the pursuers are behind him, they may catch up at any time, everyone does not delay, Xuanyuan Sheng only got on the war horse, came to the front of the cavalry team, all the soldiers are holding the reins of the horse and standing on the side of the horse, for the cavalry, the war horse is their brother or child, take care of it carefully on weekdays, and when it is not necessary, it will never ride lightly on the horse.

Xuanyuan Shengcai pulled out his saber, glanced at the neat cavalry team, and said loudly: "Brothers, today Xuanyuan took you to Xigu Pass, everyone present is Xuanyuan's good brother, from today on, as long as we are alive, we will be blessed and enjoy hardships together, everyone from now on, never give up, life and death depend on each other, are you willing to follow Xuanyuan to the death?" ”

The three hundred cavalry had already drawn their sabers, held them high above the top, and said in unison: "I am willing to follow the general to the death!" ”

Xuanyuan Shengcai looked solemn and said, "Okay, get on the horse, follow me!" He shook the reins of the horse, and with a roar, the war horse under the crotch shot out like a sharp arrow, and all the cavalry got on the horse one after another, shaking the reins of the horse, and for a time people shouted that the horse neighed, like hundreds of sharp arrows, followed behind Xuanyuan Shengcai, and galloped to the south.

At dawn, the sky was covered with rainbow colors, the sun was rising, and the camp was silent, and the abandoned tents remained their original appearance under the rising sun.

The morning breeze blew, and the wind brought a burst of horses' hooves, and from the north soon a large group of men and horses came, and the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, and the horses shouted and neighed, and the cavalry was like a dark cloud, and soon swept to the camp.

Chu Huan took the lead, dressed in cloth, and did not wear armor, which was very conspicuous, behind him, the cavalry platoon rolled over like a sea, close to the abandoned camp, Chu Huan slowed down the speed of the horse, and the cavalry corps behind him had also slowed down the speed of the horse, Chu Huan's side, Pei Ji was on the left, the cavalry commander Xu Shao was on the right, and the rear was not far away, and the cavalry generals such as Chu Wushuang, Hou Jingang, and Gu Liangchen were all strangled by the horses.

Chu Huan glanced at the camp, then turned his head to look at the rising sun, his eyes were full of light.
