Chapter 341 Jia Xu was captured
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da.
Several scouts riding fast-riding rushed to Tongguan with a happy and anxious face. When they came to Guan, they shouted.
"Quickly, open the gate immediately. I'll have good news for my lord!"
And the defenders at the gate saw that there was no army behind these scouts, and quickly made the people below open the gate. A large black gate that was burned by the fire slowly opened. After several scouts rushed into the gate, they rolled out of the saddle and rushed to the platform in the gate.
"Report!! Liangzhou, Liangzhou's army has retreated!!"
The scout running in front almost slipped. As soon as he saw Wen Han's figure, he couldn't stop reporting with ecstasy.
Wen Han is discussing the next countermeasures with Guan Yu and Xu Huang. They are all extremely distressed. After the battle just now, they have almost lost most of their soldiers and horses, and there are less than 4,000 defenders in Guan. Once the heavy rain stops, if they can't think of a countermeasure, I'm afraid they will be killed by the Liangzhou army and have no place to die!
After all, miracles will not appear again and again!
Wen Han's eyes widened, and his expression changed from surprise to ecstasy. Guan Yu and Xu Huang, who sat aside, also stood up. The withdrawal of the Liangzhou army represents the safety of Tongguan and the tragedy that Dong Zhuo's relocation will kill hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang.
The sound of the scout's good news came to the ears of dozens of soldiers patrolling around, and the dozens of soldiers couldn't help cheering, and the passionate and joyful voice came to the ears of several patrol teams. So the news of Liangzhou's retreat spread at a very fast speed, and soon there were bursts of exhilarating and joyful shouts throughout Tongguan.
At this moment, the four thousand soldiers in Tongguan suddenly became magnificent.
After Wen Han learned the news, he first suppressed his inner joy, and then sent several scouts to the foot of Tongguan to inquire in case the retreat of the Liangzhou army was just a cover to draw the snake out of the hole.
At the same time, at the foot of the mountain in Tongguan, a small team of dozens of people is running through a forest in the direction of Hongnong.
"Mr. Jia, where are we going?"
In the team, Chen Bing stopped talking several times, but in the end, he couldn't resist the uneasily asked Jia Xu. Jia Xu looked at Chen Bing with a deep face, and then said indifferently.
"Let's go back to Liangzhou."
"What! In this way, won't we become deserters!"
Hearing Jia Xu's answer, Chen Bing immediately exclaimed, and the dozens of soldiers behind him were shocked and couldn't help stopping.
Seeing this, Jia Xu also stopped, turned around and sighed.
"Eh. If we don't escape now, then we can only die with Dong Xiangguo!"
Jia Xu's words were like throwing another heavy bomb, which shocked dozens of people. Chen Bing was shocked to hear this, but he knew that Jia Xu was not missing and would not talk nonsense, and this deserter wanted to kill his head. Jia Xu was the best at keeping his life. If he did not hesitate to be a deserter and would leave Dong Zhuo's command, then Dong Zhuo's defeat was almost 80%.
"Mr. Jia, is it true that the prime minister will be defeated?"
"The war is ever-changing, and I dare not judge it. However, according to the current situation, it is too early for Luoyang to be broken. With Dong Xiangguo's character, he will not be willing to abandon the hard-won name of Xiangguo. Therefore, he will definitely transfer the emperor and the officials of the imperial court to Liangzhou.
Although Liangzhou is the base camp of Dong Xiangguo, although it is stable on the surface, it is actually turbulent. Ma Teng and Han Sui are both ambitious, just like in this 18-way prince alliance, Ma Teng participated. Ma Teng and Han Sui are brothers and have an inextricable relationship with Xiqianghu in Liangzhou.
The confrontation between Dong Xiangguo and the 18-way princes has now lost nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, which can be said to be a great loss of vitality. Therefore, when he returned to Liangzhou, Ma Teng and Han Sui would never give the prime minister a chance to regain his vitality, and they would inevitably rebel. At the same time, although most of the 18-way princes are not in harmony, some people, such as Cao Mengde, Wen Champion Wen, Sun Wentai and others, will never let go of Dong Xiangguo. They and Dong Xiangguo have long been dead and alive, so they will definitely bite Dong Xiangguo tightly.
The situation in Liangzhou is unstable, and there is a strong enemy attack. In fact, the most fatal is not these two points, but that there are too many uncertainties under Dong Xiangguo's command. Under the command of Dong Xiangguo, there are many ambitious people who depend on Dong Xiangguo's power at the beginning. These people have no loyalty to speak of. Therefore, once the situation of Dong Xiangguo is in danger, they will find another way to survive, and it is even possible..."
At this point, Jia Xu did not go on, but made a throat cut. Chen Bing and dozens of soldiers were about to break their courage. They couldn't imagine that the Dong Zhuo Group, which was in the middle of the day, had so many ills!
After Jia Xu saw that they were shocked, a thoughtful look gushed out from his face. He sighed and said again.
"Eh. If I could, I would never be this deserter. However, the war soon rushed to Liangzhou. Although our Jia family was a small family in Wuwei, there were dozens of lives. As the head of the Jia family, I will definitely save their lives. This time I will take them away from the war. You are all my fellow countrymen, and there are your relatives in Wuwei. Whether you want to go back with me or continue to follow Dong Xiangguo, you decide for yourself. I will never force you."
Although Jia Xu said so, his tone seemed to have a kind of ** power. After Chen Bing and dozens of soldiers looked at each other for a while, they decided together and told Jia Xu that he was willing to go back to Wuwei County with him.
And Jia Xu seemed to have guessed that they would return to Wuwei with him for a long time. He nodded indifferently and was about to continue on his way.
Da Da Da Da Da Da Da.
At this moment, there was a sudden rapid sound of horses' hoofs behind them. Jia Xu was shocked and was about to find a cover to hide, when he heard a vicious shout.
"Hight! Who are you!!"
Chen Bing and dozens of Liangzhou soldiers subconsciously wanted to take out the weapons at their waist, but at the moment when their hands were about to reach the hilt of the sword, countless arrows suddenly flew around them, which scared them.
"Don't shoot arrows! We are the deserters of the Liangzhou Army. Dong Zhuo has done a lot of evil. We are all shameless. We just want to go home! Please show mercy and let us live!"
The light in Jia Xu's eyes flowed quickly, and then pretended to be frightened and begged for mercy to the young general who was running on the horse.
This young general is Wang Jing. Wang Jing has been following Wen Han since Xie County, and now he is a 100-person general in the Black Wind Rider. Wang Jing narrowed his eyes. He saw that Jia Xu was compatible with Weijun, but he was so timid that a trace of disdain rose in his heart.
"Humph. It turned out to be a member of the Liangzhou Army, so you don't need to be polite. Guys, let it go!"
"Wait!! He often heard that the champion was benevolent and righteous, but he didn't expect that his subordinates were so murderous. We are already deserters and have no threat to you. Why do you want to kill us!! I don't accept it!"
"Don't accept it!!? Do you know how many brothers I have died under the hands of Liangzhou dogs!! If I let you go, how can I explain to my brother under Jiuquan!!"
"We are just pawns. If we don't listen, we will die! We all joined the army for a full meal and some meager food and salary to make a living at home. We kill people just for our family and for survival. You have brothers in the hands of the Liangzhou army, and many of us also have brothers who died in the hands of you Hedong people. If you want to kill people for this reason, I still don't accept it!"
Jia Xu pretended to be trembling and angry, and looked directly at Wang Jing. Wang Jing frowned, and the few black wind riders next to him couldn't bear it. They also felt that the man was reasonable, so he opened his mouth to persuade Wang Jing to let them go.
Wang Jing narrowed his eyes. He felt that the man in front of him was not as simple as he seemed. With his sudden sharp mouth, he seemed to be good. Moreover, when Wen Han seized Tongguan, Wenhan deliberately hid it, and there was no flag on Tongguan. How did this pawn know that he was under the command of Wenhan!?
"Okay, even if you are reasonable. I have to let you go. But you tell me first, how do you know that I am under the command of the champion?"
Jia Xu's face turned red and he secretly said bad things. He didn't expect the young general to be so careful.
"We and the champion Wen have been against each other when we were in Yanshi. The champion Wen is so majestic. This time in Tongguan, I recognized it at a glance. And you are leading the patrol near Tongguan, of course, under the command of the literary champion.
"Oh? Your eyesight is not bad, and the skill in your mouth is not bad. Come on, tie them all up!"
"You!! Didn't you say you would let us go!! You don't believe what you say!!"
"Hmm, I, Wang Jing, will only pay attention to credit to my lord and my colleagues. For your Liangzhou dog? If I don't kill you, you will be lucky! Why don't you put down your weapons and surrender? Don't you want to fight with us!?"
As soon as Wang Jing raised his hand, hundreds of black wind knights behind him, bowed and arrows, and aimed the arrows at Jia Xu's group of people. Chen Bing stepped out step by step, protected Jia Xu behind him, and shouted.
"Sir, don't worry, with Chen Bing, no one can hurt you!!!"
Mr.? Wang Jing's eyes narrowed again, and the corners of his mouth were upturned. He secretly said that it was the same as what he guessed. This man was really not an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, he would catch a big fish when he came out this time.
When Chen Bing called out his husband, Jia Xu knew that it was difficult for him to turn over again this time. After shaking his head silently, he said without any panic when hundreds of arrows were aimed at him.
"Ok. Put down your arms and let's surrender."
"Sir!!"
"Shut up!! Don't make unnecessary sacrifices, it will only make you look stupid!!"
Jia Xu stared at him. Under his violent shout, Chen Bing gritted his teeth and reluctantly dropped the weapon in his hand. When other Liangzhou soldiers saw Chen Bing leaving him, they also followed suit and threw the weapons in a pile.
Wang Jing waved his hand, and hundreds of black wind riders quickly confiscated their weapons, and then escorted them back to Tongguan.
In Tongguan, after sleeping for a while, Wen Han recovered some spirit and was drinking tea on the platform to meditate about why the Liangzhou army suddenly left.
I thought about it for about half an hour, but there was no progress. At this time, Wang Jing, who came back from exploration, told Wen Han that he had caught dozens of Liangzhou deserters, and also told Wenhan about Jia Xu and him.
"Oh, how can this man have such a sharp mouth? OK, you separate him from the others. After a while, I will interrogate them again.
Wen Han is very interested in the people in Wang Jing's mouth. After Wang Jing led the army, he went down to arrange to separate Jia Xu and the others into two separate houses.
After a while, Wen Han did not first interrogate the person he was interested in, but went to the room where dozens of other Liangzhou soldiers were imprisoned. Wen Han was in the room. After staying for half a column of incense, the expression that came out was really complicated, with astonishment, horror, hatred and admiration.
Jia Xu looked at Wen Han's figure and walked slowly into the room. The two looked at each other. Jia Xu looked at Wen Han's complex expression and quickly calculated in his mind. After a while, his body trembled, and then he closed his eyes.
