Chapter 1746 Defeat
Xuanyuan Shengcai and the soldiers around him all changed color slightly. Huang Tu knew that it was Chu Huan's soldiers and horses coming to the prefectural palace. He was immediately disoriented and said anxiously: "General Xuanyuan, the misunderstanding between you and me can always be explained clearly. Now Chu Huan's soldiers and horses are coming here. What should we do?"
Xuanyuan Sheng stared at Huang Tu's eyes, and finally withdrew his sword, clenched his fists, turned around and was about to go out, but Huangtu was already shouting: "General, where are you going?"
"Since the matter is exposed, you can fight to the death with him." Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered, "If you want to leave, you can leave now."
Everyone around them looked at each other and bowed, "I wish to follow the general to the death!"
Xuanyuan Shengcai said in a deep voice: "Okay, brothers, now that things have come to this point, let's rush out and fight to the death with them!" He was about to lead everyone out, but Huang Tu had already stepped forward and stopped Xuanyuan Shengcai, and said anxiously: "General Xuanyuan, must not be. Chu Huan has brought his troops to come, and he must have made a careful plan. They are crowded and powerful. If the general brings people to fight at this time, there will be more dangers!"
"So what?" Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes were cold and he stared at Huang Tu like a sword wind.
Huang Tu bowed his hand and said earnestly: "General Xuanyuan, please forgive me for your frankness. Now you will take people out. What if you kill ten times the enemy? Chu Huan led his troops to come, so he naturally wanted to kill the general and then hurry up. If the general is targeted by them, it would be too late to leave."
"Oh?" Xuanyuan Sheng frowned, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "What are your opinions?"
"I dare not take it for my opinion, but I think General Xuanyuan must not do useless things with usefulness now." Huang Tu said solemnly: "The general follows Chu Huan to the northwest, and is quite familiar with Chu Huan, and is even more aware of the situation in the northwest. In my opinion, a hero will not suffer a loss in front of him. The general should break out now. As long as he can escape from here, with the general's understanding of the northwest, he will be able to come back sooner or later!"
Xuanyuan Shengcai sneered: "Are you letting me escape?"
"The general misunderstood." Huang Tu knew that Xuanyuan Shengcai was young and energetic. As a child of the first family of the imperial military honors, if he escaped at the forefront, it would be a great shame for Xuanyuan Shengcai. He knew that the situation was urgent and said, "This is not called escaping, but a temporary avoidance of the enemy's edge. I don't understand the tactics of war, but I also know that when I had no choice, it would be a wonderful strategy to preserve my strength and build up a counterattack!"
A general next to him said, "General, what he said is right. Chu Huan has many people. Although we are not afraid of death, there is no need to fight with them."
Xuanyuan Sheng glanced at the other people and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
"All things are subject to the general's orders!"
Xuanyuan Sheng hesitated for a moment, and at this moment he had already heard the sound of killing from afar. Huang Tu was anxious. Xuanyuan Sheng finally looked at a general and asked, "Yuan Liao, where are the three hundred cavalry under your command?"
"Reply to the general's words, three hundred cavalrymen were taken out for training three days ago and have not entered the city yet." General Yuan Liao bowed and said, "Now it is less than thirty miles south of the city!"
"Okay!" Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "It's too late to summon other troops. First break out of the city, meet three hundred cavalry, and then make plans!" Turning around, he said in a deep voice: "Follow me to walk through the back door!"
All the generals said yes, Xuanyuan Shengcai was no longer delayed, Huang Tu followed everyone through the courtyard in a hurry, and arrived at the back door of the prefectural palace. A general came to the back door and listened, and turned around and said, "General, there is no one behind!"
Xuanyuan Sheng nodded, and immediately someone opened the back door and poked his head out. The back street was deserted, but there was no one. Xuanyuan Sheng whispered: "The north gate and the west gate must not be able to go. There is a very likely way to be blocked from the south gate. Let's take a look first!"
Huang Tu followed by and asked in a low voice: "General, the Divine Uniform Guard has not come out yet, do we want it?"
"Mr. Huang wants to wait for the Divine Instrument Guard?" Xuanyuan Sheng sneered: "Since Chu Huan can secretly mobilize troops, maybe he has already decided on a trick. The Divine Instrument Guard set up a trap. Maybe it was a mantis stalking the cicada oriole behind him, but he fell into Chu Huan's trap. I know Chu Huan very well. He looks very easy-going, but he is very scheming and does not act rashly. But once he moves, he must be considerate and kills the enemy with one blow!" He seemed to be quite afraid of Chu Huan, and said, "If Master Huang wants to wait for them, he can wait here, but we can't accompany him!"
Huang Tu knew that Xuanyuan Shengcai's plan failed, so he must have been angry, and he didn't care and followed everyone.
Everyone went east and vaguely heard the shouts of killing from the prefectural prefecture. The people in the city were obviously frightened by the killing in the city. In addition, it was late at night, almost every family was closed in the streets and alleys.
Xuanyuan Shengcai and others were walking on foot, and the generals were full of energy. Huang Tu and a civil servant ran for a while and were already panting, his legs were as if they were filled with lead, and they walked slowly and away from the generals in front.
"General!" Huang Tu raised his hand and summoned.
Xuanyuan Sheng stopped and turned around. Seeing Huang Tu bent over, he was out of breath, and walked over and frowned and said, "Mr. Huang can't walk?"
Huang Tu smiled reluctantly and said, "I am old and not as good as you guys!" He is only in his early forties. Among the generals, there are several in his early thirties. Knowing that this is a bit wrong, he sighed, "I can't walk anymore. General, you guys leave quickly and take care of yourself!"
He seemed to say goodbye to Xuanyuan Shengcai, but his eyes were full of expectation. Xuanyuan Sheng hesitated for a moment, and finally looked at a very tall general and said in a deep voice: "Hu Dahai, come and carry Lord Huang!"
The general Hu Dahai didn't say much, and walked over quickly. Huang Tu hurriedly bowed, "I have to work hard!" He was not tall, and fortunately he was not fat. Hu Dahai carried him on his back, and everyone stopped delaying and continued moving forward.
I don’t know how long it took, but I saw the West City Gate in front of me from afar. There were dozens of people on the side of the city gate. Xuanyuan Sheng turned his eyes and a general ran towards the city gate. After a while, he saw a torch shaking from side to side. Xuanyuan Sheng said in a deep voice: “It’s ours. Chu Huan’s troops have not had time to block this side, go quickly!”
Below the city gate were more than 20 soldiers from Jiazhou. When Xuanyuan Shengcai and others came, the city gate had been opened. The soldiers bowed to Xuanyuan Shengcai. Xuanyuan Shengcai said in a deep voice: "Chu Huan rebels against the imperial court and is about to leave here. If you are willing to serve the imperial court with me, now follow me. I guarantee that you will have a reward. If you do not want to follow me, I will not blame you. Let me part here!"
The soldiers guarding the gate obviously did not expect that the situation was so serious. They looked at each other. At this moment, they heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance, and even heard someone shouting: "Hurry up and block the West City Gate, don't let anyone escape from the city. Xuanyuan Sheng rebelled against Tutor Chu and must capture him alive!"
Huang Tu's face was no longer looking at him. When the sound of horse hooves approached, Xuanyuan Sheng did not hesitate anymore and rushed out of the city gate first. Someone followed behind him. Most of the soldiers guarding the city stayed at the city gate, one by one, and two or three people followed Xuanyuan Shengcai and rushed out of the city.
Huang Tu was carrying Hu Dahai's back, and only heard the sound of the armor rubbing constantly. Although he didn't have to walk, Hu Dahai ran all the way, but Huang Tu was also very bumpy.
He felt extremely tired at this time, and he didn't know when the pursuers behind would catch up. His heart was raised to his throat. He didn't know how long it took, and he heard a general say, "General, there are more than ten miles of land, and it is the cavalry camp. They are all training there. As long as they get there, it will be difficult for Chu Huan's men to catch up with him."
"The city is very chaotic now, but when we come out of the West City, Chu Huan will soon know that he will definitely send someone to catch up." Huang Tu heard Xuanyuan Sheng's voice and said, "Everyone stand up, just hold on until they meet with the cavalry, and we will withdraw immediately." Xuanyuan Sheng asked again, "Mr. Huang, how do you feel now?"
Huang Tu said reluctantly: "General Xuanyuan doesn't have to worry about me, but the general is sure that the cavalry you mentioned are fine?"
"Don't worry, Lord Huang." Yuan Liao said: "The three hundred cavalry are all strong selected by the general himself. Among them, more than a dozen are the guard warriors that the general once brought from the capital. They are loyal to the general and there is no problem."
"That's good!" Huang Tu breathed a sigh of relief, but she was bumpy and nervous and frightened. Her chest rolled, and she always felt like she wanted to vomit, but she tried her best to suppress her. She said in a weak voice: "The state of Jiazhou fell into Chu Huan's hands. We can only go to the general in the pass. After meeting the cavalry, we will set off and enter the pass immediately!"
Xuanyuan Shengcai said, "Return to the inner palace? Lord Huang, not only did we not take down Shuoquan, but even lost Jiazhou like this. Just return to the inner palace like this, how can we have the face to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"What should the general be done?" Huang Tu was shocked.
"Since Chu Huan came to Jiazhou, Shuoquan is the weakest time now." Xuanyuan Sheng said hatred: "When joining the cavalry, use these three hundred cavalry to secretly advance westward, and enter Shuoquan with lightning speed!"
Huang Tu's heart sank, thinking that although Xuanyuan Shengcai was considered a young talent, he was too young. He was born in a martial arts family and was arrogant. After suffering such a big loss this time, Xuanyuan Shengcai was obviously unwilling to accept it. He actually thought of using 300 cavalry to attack Shuoquan. Huang Tu only had two words in his heart.
madman!
As if feeling Huang Tu's thoughts, Xuanyuan Sheng said while running on foot: "Master Huang, don't worry, I am not so arrogant that I have used 300 cavalry to control Shuoquan. As long as I enter the city, kill to the Governor's Mansion, capture Chu Huan's family, and bring all these people to the prince, the prince will not blame us anymore!"
