On the official road from Yunshe to Anlu.

An army of several thousand men was pushing a large amount of baggage in the direction of Anlu.

Just as Xiao Zhe expected, Huang Zu sailed south after repairing in Xiangyang for two days.

After the Yunshe went ashore, the soldiers and horses were divided into two parts, led by Lu Gong and Su Fei all the way, and went north along the river to search for news of Sun Jian's remnants.

One route was personally led by Huang Zu to transport the baggage rewarded by Liu Biao back to Jiangxia by land.

The army marched eastward, and along the way, Huang Zu kept urging:

"Hurry up, hurry up, a group of lazy cows and horses, eat and wait slowly, how can you have no strength to hurry now!".

Seeing Huang Zu like this, Lu Jie also spurred these soldiers to speed up.

The two of them did this, but it also made the troops move a lot faster.

Walking all the way to the afternoon, seeing that it was getting late, Lu Jie stepped forward and asked:

"General, it's going to be dark in about an hour. "

"Why don't you fix here and move forward tomorrow?"

"Why are you so squeamish!".

When Huang Zu heard this, he frowned and said:

"Walk for another three hours to reach the Cloud Society, wouldn't it be better to enter the city to repair?"

But the soldiers were tired after a day's journey. "

Lu Jie thought for a while and persuaded:

"Make some food, and when the soldiers eat, you can hurry!"

"Besides, now that the enemy army has broken and gone, I am afraid that it is not appropriate for us to march at night!"

As soon as Huang Zu heard this, he sneered:

"Why are you so slack!".

"If you starve for three hours, you won't starve to death!"

"As for the rout of the enemy's army, why bother?".

"Now that Sun Jian is dead, the enemy will lead his army north in a hurry and take refuge in Yuan Shu, how can he go south?"

"Besides, I have sent Lu Gong and Su Fei to lead the army north to pursue, and the enemy army is too late to escape, so what is the risk?"

"However, there are many thieves in the south, and if our army does not enter the city, this is dangerous!"

Huang Zu didn't care about Lu Jie's words, he was only worried about the water thieves and sect thieves in Jingzhou.

Because when Liu Biao went south, although he persuaded some of the thieves, there were still some thieves lurking in Anlu Shuize.

Moreover, Jingzhou water thieves are rampant, if they are on an ordinary march, it is fine, but now they have brought a large amount of supplies, which is easy to cause thieves to covet.

That's why he chose the slower land route instead of the water route.

Without him, I'm just worried about the thieves in Jingzhou!

Hearing Huang Zu's words, Lu Jie knew that Huang Zu had made a decision, and he would no longer persuade him at the moment.

The army marched all the way east, and so on for another half an hour, when suddenly a number of horsemen in the distance rushed towards them, and before they could advance they shouted:

"Dare to ask which general is leading the army ahead!".

Seeing that the knight was dressed in Jingzhou costumes, Lu Jie scolded:

"Blind you with a pair of dog eyes, can't you see that Taishou is leading the army back?"

But as soon as he said this, the knights hurriedly shouted as if they had met a savior

"It's too good!".

"Our army Xiling City was attacked by Sun Jian's army, and now it has fallen into the hands of the enemy!"

He said all the way, all the way forward, and when he got closer, Huang Zu Lu Jie saw that these knights were already covered in blood and dust.

Seeing this, Huang Zu's heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked:

"You said that Sun Jianjun took my Xiling City?".

"Where did the enemy come from?".

"Where is the shooter now?".

He couldn't figure out the situation for a while, where did this Sun Jian's army come from?

Isn't the enemy already in a state of collapse?

Faced with Huang Zu's series of questions, the leading knight hurriedly dismounted and knelt on the ground and cried bitterly

The villain didn't know where the enemy army came from, and somehow, the enemy army suddenly killed under Xiling City. "

"The villain waited for the north gate guards, and just heard that the enemy army was attacking the city, and before he could support the enemy army, he entered the city. "

"As for the major general, after knowing that the enemy army had entered the city, he led his troops to resist, but was cut off by the enemy general. "

"I waited desperately to escape, traveled all the way west, and finally met Taishou!".

Speaking of this, he raised his head and said earnestly

"Huang Taishou, now that Xiling has fallen, please don't go here!"

"It's... This... How is this possible!".

When Huang Zu heard this, his face turned blue and red for a while, and he couldn't accept the news of his son's death.

thought that if he killed Sun Jian, he would be as stable as Mount Tai in Jiangxia.

I want to steal my nest in the blink of an eye!

What he couldn't accept even more was the news of Huang Jie's death, he was just such a son!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, until at last he was trembling and glaring at everyone

"A group of waste, the enemy army entered the city and waited for it to fight, but dared to retreat privately!".

"It's just that you wait for too many of these wine bags and rice bags to cause a group of routs to break the city!"

"Come on, drag this piece of waste down for me!".

As soon as the words fell, a group of guards rushed out behind him to arrest several knights.

Where would the knight have thought that Huang Zu would be like this, and hurriedly said in a loud voice:

"It's not my fault to be too spared!".

"Please spare your life!".

One of the knights exclaimed, in a hurry

"Taishou, this is a terrible ghost asking for his life, the young general was killed by Sun Jian's ghost!".

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the matter of gods and ghosts was the most popular, because when they knew that Sun Jian was in Xiling, most of the lower-level soldiers who did not understand the situation thought that it was a powerful ghost asking for their lives.

This is also the reason for the rapid rout of Xiling City.

But at this time, Huang Zu was angry, where could he hear this, and he said angrily

"It's a terrible ghost, kill my son today, and let him pay for his life!"

"Summons the whole army to speed up!".

"I want to avenge my son!".

"General, slow down!".

Seeing this, Lu Jie was about to persuade, but when he saw Huang Zu's red eyes, he looked at him coldly and said word by word

"I told you to give the order to march, and you want to disobey?"

That look made Lu Jie feel that as long as he shook his head, he would be ordered to be executed by Huang Zu, so he had no choice but to report it and urge the soldiers to move in the direction of Xiling.

...

At this time, in the dense forest on both sides of the official road of Yunshe.

The sky was already dark, looking at the empty official road, Sun Ben couldn't help but look at Xiao Zhe on his side and asked

"Sir, our army is ambushed here, can it really be ambushed by the enemy?"

"Isn't it getting too late now?"

Beside him, Xiao Zhe leaned against a tree and pretended to sleep, and when he heard this, he opened his eyes and smiled

"Rest assured, general, the enemy will pass through this place!"

"The general can make the soldiers stand by!".

"The enemy must pass by here tonight with baggage!"

Hearing this, Sun Fu frowned and said

"It's not that my brother doesn't trust Mr., it's just that this place is under the jurisdiction of the enemy army, and at this night, if the enemy army does not enter the city, how can it march at night!".

"Why don't you let the brothers go down and rest, and come back to the ambush tomorrow morning!"

"No, if it's tomorrow, it'll be too late!".

Xiao Zhe closed his eyes, the military situation within a radius of 100 miles was within the spied eye, and when he saw Huang Zu's soldiers and horses coming from afar, he opened his eyes and smiled:

"Why don't we make a bet?"

"I guess in half an hour, the enemy will be here!"

"As for the gambling money, how about betting ten gold!".

"Ah, this is a wonderful man, sir!".

Seeing this, Sun Fu didn't dare to answer, but Sun Ben said with a smile:

"If you gamble, I'm afraid you're going to lose!"

"If the enemy army really has a baggage, then half an hour at most ten miles of marching, it will definitely be detected by our army spies, and now there is no news, I think there is no enemy army!"

"The general doesn't need to say so much, just say to bet or not!"

Xiao Zhe smiled and looked very confident, and Sun Fu and Sun Ben were a little suspicious.

I don't know where Xiao Zhe got his confidence.

Sun Ben thought that there was nothing to do, so he nodded and said:

"Well, I'll gamble with my husband!"

"But let's talk about it first, if the enemy doesn't come in half an hour, Sir will owe me ten gold!"

Ten gold is ten pounds of gold, 100,000 dollars!

Even for Sun Ben, it is a lot of wealth.

But compared to a great achievement, these ten gold are nothing at all!

"Okay, it's a deal!".

Xiao Zhe nodded in agreement, and immediately leaned back satisfied.

And as soon as he got down, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and then he saw a sentry turn over and dismount and step forward quickly

"Report, the general has found a large number of men and horses rushing towards the front of our army!"

"Now it's less than ten miles away from our army!".

"Are the enemy really coming?".

When the two brothers Sun Ben and Sun Fu heard this, they were stunned on the spot.

They all looked at Xiao Zhe like ghosts.

This gentleman, can he not predict whether he will be able to predict or not?

Said that the enemy army was coming, and the enemy army was coming?
