Chapter 722

Calm down, Xu Rong has recovered his old shrewdness. After thinking about it carefully, he turns to the next soldier and says, "come on! Send someone up the river to check the situation of Wenxi County on the other side, and send someone to LENGKOU to ask if there is any change in Sizhou army? The rest of the army are well prepared to cross the river and pursue! "

After listening, the soldiers nearby took orders and left.

Just then, the soldiers of Sizhou on the other side of the river yelled in unison: "listen to the old thief Jiang Pei, my general said that he will come back to ask for your dog's head for 100000 soldiers. The general said that your dog's head will be deposited with you first, so that you can wait."

After so many times, the officers and soldiers of the State Army yelled five times, then they turned over and ran away.

Then they turned to Jiang Pei and saw that he was pale and trembling all over. He saw that he was about to fall from the horse. Seeing this, he immediately held him. Then he said to Xu Rong, "General Xu, when he saw the quantity, my uncle suddenly felt sick. I'll send my uncle back to the city first, and then I'll give it to the general."

Then, without waiting for Xu Rong to answer, Jiangshan turned to a group of Hedong army generals nearby and said, "Jiang Jian and Jiang Jian are two generals. The troops of Hedong army will be handed over to the two generals. They will obey General Xu's orders." Said, eyes also toward two people blinked.

After Jiang Jian and Jiang Jian understood their promise, they led the soldiers of the guard camp to escort Jiang Pei back to Anyi city.

At this time, Xu Rong had no idea about Jiang Pei's life or death. He just felt that he had tried his best. He didn't expect that in the end, he let Huangfu Chaobo play a golden cicada and run away.

However, Xu Rong thinks that he still has hope. He has not considered the escape of Huangfu Chaobo. There are only several directions. One of them is chidao, which has been blocked by his own arrangement.

The second is to go north to Bingzhou, but it's too far to go there, and Huangfu Chaobo knows that he has 20000 cavalry, so this road should be ruled out.

The other two roads do not work, so there is only the third way, that is to return to Luoyang from the river.

However, although Xu Rong has seen it, he has no good way to solve this problem. Because Dong Zhuo's army did not have a strong water army, in the face of tens of thousands of water army in Sizhou and Jizhou, Dong Zhuo's army could only play in the Wei River, and did not dare to run to the river.

Once the water army is caught in the river by sizhouzhong, it is estimated that there will be no more than one in ten. At that time, the cities along the banks of Chang'an and Weishui will be within the attack range of sizhouzhong. Therefore, Dong Zhuo's water army only dared to stick to Tongguan ferry beside Tongguan, and together with Tongguan, they became a barrier to enter Guanzhong.

Of course, he also had a way to control all the ferries in Hedong. However, in Hedong, only Shanjin, Yingjin, Fenglingdu, pubanjin and Hejin are suitable for most of the troops to cross. The other places are good, but Hejin is the only place where Jiang Peili has no time.

Therefore, after seeing the situation of the camp and the floating bridge, Xu Rong decided that although the Sizhou army had left for one night, Xu Rong thought that they had tens of thousands of wounded soldiers, and the speed was certainly not fast, so he only needed his own cavalry to entangle them, and the Sizhou Army was doomed.

Xu Rong believes that the loss of nearly 200000 troops and horses is enough to make Huangfu Chaobo feel frustrated for a few years. It would be better if he could kill several of his generals.

Thinking of this, he couldn't care to see the burning floating bridges and soldiers again. He pulled his horse and turned around and went to the place where the military workers in Hedong built the floating bridge.

The generals of Dong Zhuo's army must have followed closely. Jiang Jian and Jiang Jian looked at each other and followed.

However, Jiang Jian was a little slow, pulled a confidant to explain a few words, this just followed up.

When the party arrived at the place where the pontoon was to be built, the craftsmen were already preparing various materials. Several ferries, with their already prepared iron ropes, rowed across the river. But when they were about to reach the other side of the river, suddenly two hundred state troopers rushed out of the trees on the bank, bent their bows and arrows, and shot at the boat in the river. When the people on the boat didn't react, they were shot into hedgehogs.

Seeing this, all the people by the river changed their faces, but Xu Rong didn't respond. He had expected that Sizhou army would be prepared. At the command, some other ready boats and soldiers boarded the ferry again and rowed across the river.

After spending half a day, killing and injuring hundreds of soldiers and losing more than a dozen boats, Hedong army finally boarded the opposite bank of Wushui, and then with the escort of hundreds of soldiers, it was finally able to build the bridge at ease.

After spending an hour, a floating bridge was finally built on the surface of the river. The well prepared iron cavalry of Xiliang ran to the other side of the river under fan Hou's command.

The cavalry of Sizhou army on the other side had already pulled out their horses when there was nothing to do.

After arriving at the other side of the river, fan Chou didn't stop any longer. He led his own Xiliang iron cavalry and five thousand cavalry of Hedong army to chase the direction where Sizhou army left.

Their idea is similar to that of Xu Rong, that is, there are tens of thousands of wounded soldiers in Sizhou army. Even if they run through the night, they are only walking dozens of miles now. It only takes a few hours for their own cavalry to catch up with them. When the time comes, they must kill all sides and give vent to their anger.As for Sizhou army, it's strong to find thousands of cavalry, but can you still protect tens of thousands of soldiers?

But as time went by, fan Chou's heart began to beat. Now it has been three hours. It will be dark in another hour, but he still didn't see the shadow of Sizhou's army. Can't they really fly? You know, they can include tens of thousands of wounded soldiers.

Fan Hou doesn't think it's strange to say that the elite soldiers can travel hundreds of miles in one day and one night. However, it's incredible for anyone to take tens of thousands of wounded soldiers and go nearly a hundred miles.

However, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the direction, because it is the old Chihou who has been in the army for several years. In addition, the superior state army has no trace of hiding. Moreover, the Hedong army has confirmed to all the territories along the way that there is indeed a troop passing through here. But their speed is really amazing.

Fan Hou called Jiang Jian over again. After repeated confirmation, he knew that they were less than 20 miles away from Fenshui, and his heart became even more suspicious. Just as he was about to stop, suddenly smoke and dust rose in front of him, and dozens of cavalry soldiers came at a gallop.
