Chapter 1123: Don't Surrender
Seeing the two fast horses from a distance, Zhao Yun pressed his sword in his hand, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two healthy horses in the night were getting closer and closer, and gradually, Zhao Yun could already hear the sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground.
"General Zhao!" Riding a horse and rushing to Zhao Yun's approach, Xu Huang and Xu Chu turned over and jumped off the horse, and hugged their fists together, Xu Huang said to Zhao Yun: "The last general has persuaded General Xu that both of us are willing to serve the King of Qin!" ”
Raising his fists and arching to Xu Chu and Xu Huang, Zhao Yun smiled and said to them: "The two generals abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and this general must be strongly recommended to the King of Qin!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Xu Chu and Xu Huang glanced at each other, and the two hurriedly hugged their fists and bowed down and thanked Zhao Yun.
"The two generals can gather soldiers and horses, and we will return to Luoyang!" Putting down the fists he had picked up, Zhao Yun said to Xu Huang and Xu Chu: "From now on, we should work together to assist King Qin!" ”
"No!" Xu Huang and Xu Chu maintained a fist-hugging posture, responded together, turned around and walked outside the barracks.
After the two left, a person came from behind Zhao Yun.
This person is none other than Gao Ran, who led Hu Benwei to fight with Cao Jun with Zhao Yun.
He once led the Yuan army to fight against the Cao army several times, and in the days when he accompanied Zhao Yun to fight, Gao Ran witnessed the strength of the Qin army's tiger guards.
He has compared Yuan Jun with Qin Jun Hu Benwei countless times.
The Qin army and the tiger guards, not only are they strong in battle, but whenever there is a war, it is like a happy event, and they are all excited and inexplicable, not at all like the soldiers of the Yuan army, when they hear that the war is about to start, they are thinking about how to survive the battle.
A team that is not afraid of death and regards fighting as a necessity for entertainment and life, galloping across the battlefield, must be invincible.
Walking behind Zhao Yun, Gao Ran clasped his fists and said to Zhao Yun who was facing outside the barracks: "General Zhao, the Cao army has been surrendered, and the last general should also leave!" ”
"Cao's army surrendered?" Looking back at Gao Lan, Zhao Yun pouted and said with a smile: "General Gao, look, there will be a fierce battle this time!" ”
After listening to Zhao Yun's words, Gao Ran was stunned for a moment, and said with a blank face: "Xu Huang and Xu Chu have already joined King Qin, how can there be a fierce battle?" ”
"General, just look at it!" Zhao Yun smiled slightly, then said no more, turned around and returned to the tent.
The sky was light, and more than 6,000 soldiers of the Cao Army marched in line to the Qin Army's Hubenwei military camp.
The Tiger Ben guards also put away their tents one after another, and only waited for Zhao Yun to give an order, and then returned to Luoyang.
Carrying a spear, Zhao Yun had already gotten on his horse, and Gao Ran was also riding on horseback, standing behind him.
Looking at Cao Jun, who was heading towards the Tiger Benwei military camp, Zhao Yun always had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gao Lan, who was standing behind him, thought about what he said for a long time the night before, but never understood why Xu Huang and Xu Chu had already sworn allegiance to King Qin, but Zhao Yun would say that there would be a big battle on the way back to Luoyang.
Zhao Yun only said half of the words, and did not say the reason, all Gao Ran could do was to be wary of Xu Huang and Xu Chu on the way back to Luoyang with the Qin army.
The Hebei army had been defeated by Cao's army, and the battle between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang was becoming clearer.
As a military general, Gao Ran originally planned to return to Yecheng, and see what the reason for the matter was, and then make a decision, but Zhao Yun said that there would be a big battle soon, and Gao Ran was not good to mention his farewell to Zhao Yun again.
Zhao Yun and Gao Ran rode one after the other, riding on horseback and looking at the soldiers of the Cao army who were gradually approaching the barracks, and after a while, two fast horses rushed out of the Cao army's ranks.
The two fast horses came out of the team and rushed towards the Qin Army's Tiger Benwei like a gust of wind.
The two people on horseback did not carry long blades, and obviously did not come forward to find Zhao Yun and Gao Ran to fight.
Zhu Ma looked at Xu Huang and Xu Chu who were running towards them, Zhao Yun always had a faint smile on his face, and from his expression, he couldn't tell what he was thinking in his heart.
Xu Chu and Xu Huang rode their war horses and went straight into the military camp of Hu Benwei, and ran towards Zhao Yun and Gao Lan.
When Zhao Yu and Gao Ran approached, Xu Huang and Xu Chu saluted the two of them with their fists, and Xu Huang said: "General Zhao, the army has been prepared, please give an order!" ”
and Gao Ran hugged their fists together and saluted the two of them back, Zhao Yun said: "Please lead the two generals to lead the army to open the way in front, and this general will be behind General Gao!" ”
"No!" Gao Lan, who was standing behind Zhao Yun, thought that Xu Huang and Xu Chu would refuse Zhao Yun's arrangement, but they didn't expect the two to respond very simply, Gao Lan's brows were slightly twisted, and when he looked at the two, his eyes revealed a hint of suspicion.
Xu Chu didn't pay attention to Gao Lan's gaze, but Xu Huang saw it really, but he didn't say anything, just put the war horse in his pocket and said to Zhao Yun: "The two of us will lead the army to open the way!" ”
Nodding to the two of them, watching them leave, Zhao Yun looked back at Gao Ran, and said with a smile: "General Gao, don't be too nervous, he can't do anything if he leads the army in front!" ”
"General Zhao!" He arched at Zhao Yun with his fists in his fist, and Gao Ran said with a suspicious face: "These two people are willing to lead the army to walk in front of our army, or they have the heart to serve His Highness, why does the general have doubts and say that there will be another battle?" ”
"These two people are not sincere!" Turning his head to look at Gao Lan, Zhao Yun said to him: "Then Xu Huang is nothing, when General Ben saw that Xu Chu, his eyes flashed, I am afraid that his face is rough, but his mind is not ordinary, I must be cautious!" ”
Hearing Zhao Yun's words, Gao Ran nodded, and he also knew which one to pay attention to.
Seeing Zhao Yun with Xu Chu, Xu Huang said to Xu Chu on the way back to the army: "Zhong Kang can only see that high look? ”
"What's wrong?" was thinking about things in his heart, and when he heard Xu Huang ask, Xu Chu asked a little puzzled: "What's wrong with his eyes?" ”
"Seems to be a little suspicious of the two of us!" Frowning slightly, Xu Huang said to Xu Chu: "Since the two of us have already made our allegiance to King Qin to General Zhao, we must not do anything to deceive us!" The Qin army is strong, I'm afraid that even if I kill them from behind, I can't help them! ”
Xu Chu smiled slightly, and said to Xu Huang: "Don't worry, general, you won't do that!" ”
Although Xu Chu said this, Xu Huang still couldn't let go of it in his heart, and when he looked at him, his eyes also revealed a touch of solemnity.
The night before, Xu Huang persuaded Xu Chu, he didn't expect him to agree so simply, but Xu Chu almost didn't even think about it, and agreed.
Seeing Zhao Yun and Gao Ran, especially after seeing a trace of strangeness in Gao Lan's gaze, Xu Huang always felt that things didn't seem to be so simple, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
All he can do is remind Xu Chu before he really does anything.
The two rode back to the queue of Cao's army, and Xu Huang shouted to the soldiers: "All the troops line up and march to Luoyang!" ”
Hearing that they were going to march to Luoyang, the soldiers of the Cao army looked at each other one by one and were stunned.
Although they served the King of Qin, they were Cao Jun's pawns after all.
It had never been heard of a pawn being able to directly enter the core of the surrendered party's governing center.
Once they enter Luoyang City, if these people suddenly start to attack, no matter how strong the Qin army is, no matter how fast the disposal speed is, Luoyang City will definitely suffer a poison.
Although the soldiers of the Cao army had doubts in their hearts, no one asked them to ask their doubts, but quickly formed a queue and marched slowly towards the southwest.
Seeing Cao Jun turn around and march southwest, Zhao Yun also waved his hand and shouted to the Tiger Ben Guards: "Go!" ”
The three thousand tiger guards, with Zhao Yun's order, got on their horses one after another, followed him and Gao Ran out of the temporary military camp, followed behind Cao Jun, and marched in the direction of Luoyang.
Zhao Yun and Gao Ran didn't go too fast, and they always maintained a distance of more than ten steps between them and Cao Jun in front.
The Cao army that opened the way in front, because most of them were infantry, although it was a fast march, but the speed was not much faster than that of the tiger guard.
After fighting with the Tiger Benwei for several days, the soldiers of the Cao Army in the team were already angry and fearful of the army wearing red armor and snow-white feathers on their helmets.
From time to time, some Cao soldiers would turn their heads and look behind them to see the Qin army following closely behind.
Xu Huang and Xu Chu, who led Cao Jun to the front, rode side by side.
After walking for several miles, neither of them spoke, each thinking about it in their hearts.
Xu Huang would glance at Xu Chu from time to time with the corner of his eye.
It was not a moment to lead the army under Cao Cao, and it was not a day or two to get acquainted with Xu Chu, and he still knew a little about Xu Chu.
If Xu Chu had nothing to do in his heart, he would definitely be like a river on the way, saying something headless and brainless.
At this time, Xu Chu was silent, but Xu Huang had to have more eyes.
Xu Chu, who rode side by side with Xu Huang, also glanced at him from time to time.
The things that Xu Chu was thinking about in his heart were not much different from Xu Huang.
The night before, Xu Huang suddenly ordered the soldiers to tie him up, which really made Xu Chu feel bored for a while.
When Xu Huang proposed to surrender to the Qin army, he was even more eager to smash him into powder with a hammer.
Although Zhao Yun's words were correct, they were not very convincing in Xu Chu's ears.
Since he joined Cao Cao, Cao Cao has been very close to him, and he rarely led the army to go on expeditions in the past, but whenever Cao Cao rewarded the generals, his share was indispensable.
He has always been grateful to Cao Cao, and under the circumstances at that time, he couldn't directly refuse Xu Huang, Xu Chu's only way was to come down and talk about it later.
The army marched slowly, Xu Chu didn't say a word all the way, until the sunset West Mountain, and Zhao Yun's order to stay temporarily came from behind, and he and Xu Huang stopped the march of the army.
