In the mountain col to the west of the Qinling Mountains.

Lu Bu's army, which had been galloping all night, rested in this mountain col for the time being.

Running more than 100 miles in one night is really insignificant for the wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's command. Previously, they traveled hundreds of miles day and night.

However, this overnight march was different.

In the dark night, most of the soldiers were not prepared for a long-distance attack, the horses did not have enough rest in advance, and the soldiers did not bring enough dry food and water. In addition, Lu Bu's army was shocked and frightened by Li Dao and Guo Yan's army to break through Chang'an City, and then followed Lu Bu to march overnight. The panic of fleeing for their lives made most of the soldiers anxious and worried, both for their own lives and for the unpredictable future. This double ordeal was enough to demoralize the brave and warlike wolf cavalry soldiers, and they couldn't live in fear.

Psychological exhaustion is far more terrible than physical exhaustion. It directly destroys the will of the soldiers, not the physical body.

"Da Da Da!"

With the sound of panicked horse trampling and footsteps coming from far and near, Lu Bu, who had been gloomy all morning, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up with a pout.

"What's the matter, is Li Li's army catching up?"

"Wen Hou is not in a hurry, it is not Li Li who is chasing after him, but Mr. Chen Gong has come to join us with more than a thousand foot soldiers." Facing Lu Bu's wide eyes, the soldiers did not dare to step forward to answer, only Zhang Liao stepped forward and reported respectfully.

"Chen Gong is here? He was only an hour behind us, but he arrived a morning late, and the speed was too slow! Lu Bu couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

"It's really late for you, please forgive me first." Just when Lu Bu's words were not finished, Chen Gongshang walked in front of Lu Bu breathlessly, and then sat on the grass. gasped and apologized.

Lu Bu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, he took out his water bladder, handed it to Chen Gong, and said in a soothing tone: "Mr. Gongtai has been tired all the way, come, drink saliva, and speak later." ”

"Goo-go———o-go

Chen Gong took the water bladder and gulped down the water, a large amount of water stains overflowed the corners of his mouth, ticked on the placket, and soaked the collar. Seeing Lu Bu's heartache, he was distressed.

Lu Bu didn't feel sorry for Chen Gong who was so tired and panting like a cow, but he felt sorry for the water he was reluctant to drink before.

What a waste, what a pity!

"Gongtai, why did you delay for so long, could it be that you encountered chasing soldiers along the road?" After Chen Gong rested for a while. Lu Bu asked in a low voice.

Chen Gong raised his hand and motioned for Lu Bu to sit down and took a deep breath. said: "It's not just a chasing soldier! Feng Xian didn't know. You led the army to leave Yiwu with the front foot, and Li Li led the Wuwei army to attack the city with the back foot. Before the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city had time to defend the city, Li Li rode across the moat on a strange beast mount and rode to the city gate. Immediately, that Li Li was really brave, and he took advantage of the momentum of the mount to sprint. With a swing of the knife, he cut five thigh-thick door bolts in succession, smashed open the city gate alive, and then led the army into Yiwu. He led the army to resist desperately, but he was outnumbered. After nearly an hour of fighting, he could only flee from the north gate with more than a thousand foot soldiers. Later, when passing through the Lantian camp, he encountered Li Li's army resting in the camp, and he did not dare to alarm the defenders of the camp, so he had to bypass the camp, and it took a lot of trouble to come and meet Fengxian. Hey, this toss back and forth, it was delayed for half a day, please forgive me first! ”

"So, Mr. didn't set fire to Yi Wu?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice with an unhappy expression.

Chen Gong didn't seem to notice Lu Bu's expression, and said casually: "What to burn, it's good to be able to escape with your life, you don't care about setting fire to the granary!" Besides, Li Li's army attacked Yiwu at the first time, and led the iron cavalry to seize the granary as soon as possible, even if he had the intention to set fire to it, it was difficult to get close. The heart is more than enough but the strength is insufficient, so what can I do! ”

After Lu Bu heard this, even though he was very unhappy in his heart, he also knew that Chen Gong had done his best, so he couldn't blame him. In addition to being depressed in his heart, Lu Bu could only secretly sigh that Li Li's life was good, and he got a huge castle of money and grain overnight.

Yi Wu, that is the treasure trove of money and grain that Dong Zhuo has looted for decades, and emptied the Imperial City of Luoyang, but in vain let Li Li pick up a big bargain! This move really made Lu Bu indignant and resentful when he thought about it.

But it has come to this, and lamentation is useless. At present, Lu Bu's top priority is to flee for his life as soon as possible and get out of Xiliang as soon as possible, so that he can let go of a heart hanging in the air.

"Gongtai, how are you resting? Let's go now, get out of Wuguan early, so that we can rest in peace. Otherwise, once caught up by Li Li's army, I am afraid that I will not be able to leave! Lu Bu pushed Chen Gong, who was lying on the ground and resting with his eyes closed, and said urgically.

Chen Gong shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Feng Xian, you can spare me and let me lie down for a while." My body is no match for yours, and now my whole body seems to fall apart, and I am paralyzed. If I leave now, I'm afraid that before I reach Wuguan, I will have to die of exhaustion. ”

"Well、、、、、、 well, rest for another hour, we must enter the Qinling Mountains before sunset, and we must enter the territory of Shangxian County when it gets dark. Otherwise, the Qinling mountain road is steep, and the night march is too dangerous and the speed is too slow. Lu Bu said helplessly.

Chen Gong said gratefully, "Thank you Feng Xian for your understanding. Then I'll take the time to rest and wake me up when the time comes. ”

After finishing speaking, Chen Gongyou lay on the grass and fell asleep with his head in his hands, seeing that Lu Bu was speechless for a while and depressed.

"Click!"

The galloping iron hooves kicked up the dust on the mountain post road, and the rumbling sound of horses shook the loose stones on the side of the road.

Below the post road is the clear and sweet Danjiang River.

There is a river between the two mountains here, which is really majestic and graceful.

The clear water and green mountains are infinitely thoughtful, and the iron hooves leap to shake the rivers and mountains.

"What a beautiful place!" Harnessing the Golden Lion Beast King, Li Li rushed into the wind, and exclaimed loudly.

"Phew! Lord, there is a martial pass ahead, we can slow down and enter the customs slowly! Xu Rong grabbed the reins and said loudly to Li Li.

"Good! Before the sun had set, we arrived. It's really a pleasure to come all the way, and it's so pleasant to walk along the green mountains and green waters! Li Li said.

Xu Rong smiled when he heard this, and said: "The scenery here is indeed very beautiful, and it is even more beautiful in autumn." However, this place has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, guarding the critical passage between Xiliang and the Central Plains. Although the mountains and rivers are beautiful, they hide infinite killing opportunities. The more beautiful the place, the more dangerous it is! ”

"Haha!" Li Li said loudly when he heard this, "You are extremely accurate in what you said. The mountains and rivers are beautiful, which means that the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is indeed a fatal place. Everyone likes beautiful things and flocks to them, but they don't know that behind the beauty there is endless danger. The fact that God has scattered such a beautiful scenery on the world is actually telling people that if they want to get beautiful things, they must be prepared to pay a heavy price! ”

"Ga ———!"

"Wuguan guard general Yang Ding, see the two generals!"

When Li Li was daxiao, but when he saw the city gate of Wuguan City opened, a general who was eight feet tall and quite handsome walked out of the city gate with more than ten personal soldiers, and hurried up to meet him while talking.

"Hehehe! It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Xiu, so you are here as a guard of Wuguan! Li Li Daxiao rolled over and jumped down from the back of the Golden Lion Beast King, helped Yang Ding up with a smile, and said with a greeting.

Yang Ding, the word renovation, Xiliang people, and Zhonglang General Hu Zhen and called "Xiliang Lord", is quite famous in Xiliang, and is also a subordinate general under Dong Zhuo.

Yang Ding saw Li Li's warm smiling face, and said with a smile: "The last general has seen the general of Xiaocai. On the day of the general's wedding, the general's duty was not to go to the general in person to say hello, and the general was not to blame. ”

Li Li laughed and said, "Brother Renovation has seen the outside." You still call me Wenchang, don't call me a general anymore, it's too angry. On the day of my wedding, although Brother Renovation was not able to go in person, he sent someone to send a congratulatory gift. I have always remembered such hospitality, and this time we finally met. Hehehe! ”

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. How could Wenchang come to Wuguan with General Xu this time, I don't know what is the important thing here? Yang Dingxiang asked with a smile.

Li Li smiled slightly when he heard this, beckoned gently, and Xu Rong, who was standing behind him, immediately stepped forward and said to Yang Ding: "Renovation, it's like this." Last night, the lord led the Wuwei army and Li Dao and Guo Yan's army to capture Chang'an, Wang Yun had been ambushed, and Lu Bu was leading the remnants to flee to Wuguan at this time. Thanks to the lord's refusal to give up, I have led 30,000 soldiers of the Lantian battalion to serve the Wuwei army, and this time I came to Wuguan to rob and kill the remnants of Lu Bu's army. ”

"Ahh My brother has already worshiped Li Li, oh no, worship the general of Xiaocai? Yang Ding asked in shock.

"Exactly. I came with my lord this time to join forces with the renovation to intercept Lu Bu's defeated army. I don't know what you think? Xu Rong looked directly at Yang Ding and asked tentatively.

"It's 、、、、、、 or not, I have always looked at my brother as the head of the horse, and now that my brother has voted under General Li Li, the younger brother has no objection." Yang Ding looked at the five thousand iron horsemen behind Li Li, and after a little hesitation, he said happily.

Immediately, he took a few steps forward, and bowed down to Li Li with a sincere expression: "The last general, Yang Ding, will meet the lord!" ”

"Hehehe!" Li Li cheerfully helped Yang Ding up, and said with a smile: "There is no need to be formal in renovation. We have known each other for more than ten years, and in terms of seniority, the renovation is my Li Li's brother. We were originally a family, and it is normal for people to have occasional disagreements along the way, but now we are on the same path, which is really a happy event. Since then, the old things have been written off, and our brothers have once again fought side by side to create a great cause! Refurbishment or not? ”

"Thank you for your magnanimity, regardless of past suspicions. The last general is willing to swear to follow the lord to the death, saddle the horse and let the lord drive! Yang Ding said resolutely with a bow.

Li Li said with a smile on his face: "Okay, it is really a blessing for my Wuwei Army to be able to get help from the renovation." Without further ado, I'll enter the customs now, take a break, and there will be war waiting for us tonight. Hehehe! ”

"The last general is rude, lord, please!" Hearing this, Yang Ding immediately stepped aside and bowed down to invite Li Li to enter the customs first. —————— (To be continued)(To be continued......
