~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twenty miles away from the two armies' battle, there is a semi-aborized ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River and the western suburbs of Shan County. It is said to be semi-aborized, which means it can be used, but the war is in chaos, and few ships usually appear here. However, today is quite unusual. Several feet away from the river bank, a stern boat with a load capacity of 1,000 stones is floating quietly on the water.

There were no signs on the ship, only more than a dozen shipmen with scarves wrapped in heads, no armor, holding swords, guns, bows and shields, distributed in Feilu, bows, sterns, and sides, and were vigilant to patrol all sides.

A goshawk suddenly appeared in the sky, hovering around the sill several times. At this time, a young man quickly walked out of the cabin, raising his hand to the sky with a move. The goshawk retracted his wings, fell like an arrow, and his claws stretched out, and stopped steadily on the young man's arm with special arm guards.

The young man untied a bamboo tube from the edge of the claws of the goshawk, placed the eagle on the eagle frame, and then hurried into the cabin. After a while, he ran out and shouted: "The right general has an order, the plan has been reached, and the whole army will return, so that we can prepare for welcoming and starting the ship."

"Very good! I knew that the lord would not escape, and the enemy chief would not escape." The officer pointed to the stern boat, and a marquis of the military ship, patted the ship's side and said happily.

The soldiers on the boat and the boatman who heard the sound were all happy. Now, I can finally leave. Everyone was worried when they heard the faint shouts of killing from more than ten miles away. You know, there were only more than 60 boatmans. In half a day, several Xiliang whistle riders were already peeping nearby. If it weren't for the river water several feet away, they would have rushed up long ago.

Before everyone could cheer, a few figures suddenly rose from the top of a bleak hill with grass and trees more than a hundred steps off the shore. One of them ran down the hillside and rushed to the shore, shouting: "Here's here! Come on the shore and set up a board."

Come? So fast! Isn’t the Eagle News just now a little redundant?

Junhou said in surprise: "You see clearly, are you really the lord?"

The lookout said, "I see clearly, the red-eyed wolf-headed flag and the fire cloth, I see it clearly."

There is eagle news in front and wolf flag behind, so naturally the wolf rider will definitely be triumphant. Junhou waved his hand and said, "Go to the dock and set up a board. You, you, you, come with me to welcome the lord."

Junhou and three soldiers trotted along the way. After running a hundred feet, they met the returning wolf cavalry. Junhou suddenly stopped. Although the outfits of these cavalrymen were not much like wolf cavalry, they seemed to be a little wrong... Oh, they didn't know any of them. Where is the lord? The one in the middle of the cavalry was a bit similar, but next to the saddle and bridle, there was no sign of blood bow.

The military marquis was shocked and suspicious. Seeing that the cavalry were getting closer and closer, several cavalry in front even drove their horses to gallop.

Junhou shivered all over. He put his hands behind his back and secretly made a "run" gesture to the three soldiers. The next moment, the four of them turned around at the same time and ran wildly. It's a pity that it's too late.

Screaming! A wave of arrows flew past, and the three soldiers screamed and fell to the ground one after another. Junhou was so shocked that his scalp was numb, and he ran forward desperately, shouting: "Enemy attack! Pull the board - unzip the cables -"

A sharp sound of hooves came from behind him, and awesome! A sharp roar came from the air. Junhou felt a pain in his right leg. He suddenly lost his balance and threw himself forward heavily. His body rolled with inertia, and smoke and dust were stirred up. Blood beads were dotted and quickly stained with mud and dust.

After finally stopping the rolling, Junhou looked back with pain, but saw half a broken arrow on his thigh, and blood was gushing out. The sound of hooves approached. Junhou looked up and saw the general who had just thought he was his lord. He inserted his bow and threw a rope in front of him. At the same time, he pulled off the windshield with one hand, revealing the two thick and erect beards under half of his face, and his eyes were like ice: "I, Zhang Xiu, have always been disliked by nonsense. If you want to live, you lean over the boat; if you want to die, you put the rope on your neck."

There are few people in this world who are ready to die, especially during the Three Kingdoms era, when famous generals and advisers were captured and surrendered, they caught a large number of them. In the Liaodong military system, although most of them have undergone more than three months of brainwashing training and their loyalty has been transformed into considerable combat effectiveness, fighting on the battlefield is different from betraying the battle rather than surrender after being captured, and the latter is particularly rare.

This military marquis was originally a subordinate of the Liaodong naval army, Du Cheng. After changing hands in Liaodong, he surrendered with his superiors and merged into the Bohai Army. Due to the tight time, heavy tasks, and the need to calm people's hearts, he was not summoned to the Hange army for training...

When the army suddenly arrived, the commander was conquered, and the ending was unsurprising. The military marquis, the boatmen on the twenty-floor floor, the forty boatmen and the boatmen all knelt down and asked to surrender.

Zhang Xiu sat upright on the horse, looked at the Liaodong soldiers kneeling on the ground, and smiled and said, "Sir, he just used one enemy flag and took away the enemy ship without spending one soldier, and cut off the horse Jinglong's retreat."

Jia Xu leaned out of the ox cart, looked at the sill boats on the river surface, and smiled with satisfaction: "I have to travel to Chang'an for only three days, and I can avoid the chaos. Haha, Wen Jing, when I saw the horse and the dragon, I thanked me on my behalf."

Zhang Xiu laughed loudly and was full of confidence: "Sir, please don't worry, Xiu will definitely bring this thank you 'in person'."

Ma Han probably didn't expect that the Eagle News he released in advance would have inadvertently helped Jia Xu and Zhang Xiu's great help. Otherwise, relying solely on a semi-imitated "Red-Eye Wolf Flag" would not have made the Marquis of Kange's army come out to welcome him and take advantage of it.

Next, naturally, Kan Ge changed his master. Jia Xu and his servants were guarding more than 30 people, and together with a team of Xiliang soldiers presented by Zhang Xiu, they all turned onto the ship. The surrendered soldiers confiscated their weapons and were supervised by the team of Xiliang soldiers, while the boatmen and the boatmen performed their duties. For these non-combatants who were not even auxiliary soldiers, they would do whatever they wanted, so there was no need to be demanding.

On the river bank, Zhang Xiu led more than ten entourages to bow to the gradually activated Kuibo: "Sir, the journey is smooth. If you have any needs in the future, you only need to send a servant to call him with a letter. Xiu will sail and serve as a result of the work of a dog or a horse."

Jia Xuzhuo stood on the bow of the ship, his sleeves were in harmony, and he thanked him from afar. The river wind whistled and his clothes fluttered, as if he was walking in the wind, gradually moving away.

A ray of smoke and dust rolled up on the shore, and more than ten knights rushed over. After reaching Zhang Xiu, he rolled off his horse and knelt down and said, "General. The general. He found more than two hundred cavalry ten miles away, but he did not take a flag. He was coming towards the ferry."

"More than 200 cavalry, heading to the ferry, this time... they all met. Eight out of ten, nine out of ten are Liaodong people." Zhang Xiu narrowed his eyes, as if the hunter saw the prey step by step towards the trap. "Tell Hu Cheer that he must not be aware of it. If this battle is done, I will guarantee him to be promoted to general; if there is any mistake, let alone the position of the commander is not guaranteed, even if he has his head, he should not stay on his neck!"

The visitors were indeed the Wolf Cavalry of the Marian and the newly captured Xu Huang and others. They ran along the high and low hills, appearing and disappearing from time to time, gradually approaching. While the spies of the Xiliang Army discovered them, the Wolf Cavalry also discovered the enemy. However, this is not surprising, because along the way, they saw many scattered scattered soldiers and vanguards within a radius of more than ten miles. After these spies discovered their men, some followed and monitored them from afar, while some turned back to report the news. The Maian and others ignored it and ran with all their might. Judging from the chaos of the Western Liang army fighting with the Baibo army, there was no time to react, and they waited for the enemy troops to chase them. I was afraid that there would be no chance to eat dust.

When it was about a mile away from the ferry, thinking that the boat was about to board, many wolf cavalry warriors couldn't help but speed up and rushed forward. But at this moment, Ma Han suddenly raised his hand to signal the whole team to stop.

As soon as Ma Han stopped, Wu Zhui and dozens of other cavalrymen who were the wardens in front immediately turned back and asked anxiously: "Lord, what's the matter?"

Ma Han didn't make a sound, staring at his fingers. Suddenly raised his hand and pushed back: "The whole army retreated a hundred steps back. Wu Zhui, take your people with you. Let me go east to explore."

Wu Zhui didn't ask a word, and immediately urged the horse to follow. When he and dozens of wolf riders followed Ma Han eastward around several mounds and ran hundreds of steps, Ma Han suddenly saw Ma Han suddenly squeezing his reins, taking a breath of air conditioning, his face was extremely cold.

Suddenly, a wolf cavalry warrior pointed to the sky: "Eagle, our letter eagle."

Ma Han looked up, but saw that the small black dots were hovering above the clouds and sky, but did not fall down. Suddenly, they flapped their wings and flew westward.

Ma Han's eyes flashed, staring at the direction of Xinying's departure, and decisively ordered: "Retreat! Go west!"

Going west?! Even though Yi Wu Zhui was so loyal that he almost blurted out, the habit he had developed for a long time made him swallow his doubts back into his stomach and did not hesitate to implement them.

Soon, the Wolf Cavalry Brigade turned around in front of the Xiliang Army's pocket formation, and suddenly turned toward Chang'an as if flying.

When Zhang Xiu, who was hiding on the hill two miles away, saw that the target was about to enter the ambush circle, raised his eyebrows and slowly raised his hand. Three feet behind him, eight cowhide drums were lined up in a row. Before each drum, a burly strongman with a red scarf wrapped in a short suit and a drumstick stood on his hips. As Zhang Xiu's hand slowly raised, the eight strongman also raised the drumsticks at the same time... But the next moment, Zhang Xiu's hand stopped. After a while, the hand became more and more shaking, and suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Hu Cheer, you bastard! You bad things about me!"

After a while, a Hu General with a shiny forehead, braided hair, and thick leather armor, but was steadily as fast as flying. He was still more than ten steps away from Zhang Xiu. The Hu General knelt heavily on the ground regardless of the armor, sweat beads on his forehead, and his ferocious face was full of fear: "General, I, Hu Cheer, swear to the gods that I have never alarmed the people of Liaodong. He... He is still far away from us, but who knew he turned around and ran away..."

"No need to defend, since military orders are issued, you should be punished... punished!" Zhang Xiu stared at the most powerful general under his command, and finally bit the word "kill" and changed it to "punishment". "Removed the position of the cavalry commander and demoted to fake Sima. Go back and attack the Baibo army camp. This is your only chance to make meritorious service after being punished. Don't lose my face again!"

Hu Cheer couldn't help but point west and said, "General, we... won't we chase after you?"

"Chasing? There are more than 200 people, but there are more than 400 strong horses. We have one thousand-phase riders, but there are only more than 300 riders. How do you want to chase them?!" Zhang Xiu clamped his fists and gritted his teeth and said this, looked up to look west, and let him breathe unwillingly, "Ma Jinglong, I hope you will meet again in the future. Let Zhang Xiu 'thank you in person'!" (To be continued)
