Chapter 142
The dark night was silent, and everything seemed quiet except for Liang Jun's footsteps.

"Not quite right!"

Huan Zhong stopped his hurried steps and stopped to watch.After crossing the Lei River, we chased in the direction in which the Chu army retreated. The terrain gradually became narrow and undulating, and the road became dangerous and difficult to navigate.

"What is the place in front of that is so gloomy?"

Huan Zhong looked solemn, looked for the lieutenant beside him, and asked.

"It's Boling!"

"wrong!"

Huan Zhong murmured, the surroundings were silent, without a trace of life, Huan Zhong suddenly felt something in his heart.The intuition formed by years of fierce battlefield battles told him that the Chu army's defeat was not that simple.

"The Chu army is deceitful!"

"General!"

Huan Zhong looked at the desolate clouds in front of him, and a feeling of fatigue came over him. He became unstable and was supported by his deputy.

"Instruct the three armies to retreat slowly. Don't let the Chu army see any flaws."

Huan Zhong's voice was very soft and weak.The sequelae of fighting for hundreds of miles and staying awake for several nights finally broke out at this moment.Huan Zhong bent over, in the lieutenant's arms, exhorting.

"General, our [-] former troops have all entered Boling!"

The deputy general's panicked voice made Huan Zhong's already weak body even more tired, and he coughed unconsciously.The sound in the words disturbs the heart and lungs.

"Oops!"

On the high ground, Cai Tong's face was dark, and the deputy general noticed something strange about Liang Jun.

"Master Marquis, Huan Zhong's formation has stopped."

Cai Tong's thin face was still stained with blood and plaster, but his eyes were old and spicy.

"Did Huan Zhong notice anything unusual?"

Cai Tong sneered, his broken armor particularly dazzling in the night wind, and waved.

"It's a pity that it's too late. Order Wen Qing to send troops to kill the [-] Liang army vanguard first, and then kill the old traitor Huan Zhong."

Bright fireworks illuminated the night sky, and the soaring fire burned over Boling like daylight.

"Withdraw, withdraw!"

The firelight illuminated a ferocious and weak face, and Huan Zhong roared with almost all his strength.

The sound of fighting sounded, and the Chu army, which had been ambushing Boling for a long time, showed its fangs and swarmed up.

Without any hesitation, Huan Zhong led his troops to retreat.He knew it was too late at this point.If Huan Zhong does not retreat, not only the [-] Liang troops in front of him, but also the entire army will be annihilated.

Those who can become the vanguard of the army must be elite soldiers and horses.Although he had no choice but to abandon his chariot to protect his commander, Huan Zhong felt extremely painful in his heart.

Not even a moment into the battle, the faint smell of blood in the air was extremely pungent.Approaching the Lei River, Huan Zhong took a look at the rising bloodshed on the battlefield, gritted his teeth fiercely, and cursed.

"Cai Tong, you are ruthless. You won this game!"

It was daybreak, and the Chu army inspected the battlefield.Cai Tong walked on the deserted road of Boling. The ground was full of soldiers and corpses abandoned by Liang Jun.Between victory and defeat, it was like a dream.

In the battle of Leihe, Cai Tong left behind the bodies of [-] Chu troops and almost died at the hands of Huan Zhong himself.But in the blink of an eye, it was a great victory.

But at this moment, Cai Tong not only did not feel happy at all, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

To use troops is to use danger, but it is not a last resort. Which general is willing to do this?

The Huanwu family has a great cause. If they compete with him for national power, Cai Tong will only die.What's ridiculous is that the majestic leader of a country was forced to such a point.

Only by exchanging the heads of [-] Chu troops for [-] Liang troops can the transaction be profitable. "Master Hou!"

General Wenqing came to Cai Tong in a state of embarrassment, waiting for his order.

"Send an order to the entire army to cross the Lei River, pursue Liang Jun, and seize Wancheng. Whoever gets Huan Zhong's head will be rewarded with ten thousand gold."

There was a kite chirping in the sky, which was extremely harsh. Cai Tong raised his head, his eyes slightly wrinkled.

"Get the gun!"

Cai Tong held a spear in his hand, and his body was full of energy, bursting out with a force that did not belong to his age.The long spear pierced the void, and shot the flying gray kite.

Wancheng.

"Prime Minister, our current speed is still too slow."

In the spacious hall, the Shu army generals reported to Yang Xian the situation of transporting supplies.Although the Shu army captured Wancheng, it was still too slow to move the families of the Heiyu army.

It took two and a half days to transport the first batch of old, weak, women, children and supplies. After all, these old and weak people were not sergeants, so this speed was considered fast.It's just that the military situation is like a fire, but they can't tolerate the slightest hesitation on their part.

Yang Xian opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Liao Cheng."

"The end is here!"

"You lead [-] Changce troops to Duyang City to guard against Liang Jun in the Central Plains."

"The last will obey."

"Qin Feng."

"The end is here!"

"You lead the Xiliang Hussars to guard the west of Wancheng to guard against the Liang army coming from Guanzhong."

"The last will obey."

There were so many supplies and people to move in Wancheng that the Shu army had no time to start moving.

"Here you go, use the gold and silver that has not yet been removed from the Wancheng treasury to exchange for the Wancheng people's vehicles, ships, cattle and horses. As long as there are wheels that can move, all of them will be replaced. In addition, any of the Wancheng people who have been recruited are willing to be escorted by the army. If the gold and silver are not enough, use cloth, furniture, antiques, and famous paintings. If these are still not enough, use Wancheng's army rations. In short, I want everything around Wancheng that can still be used to serve our army. Used."

For Yang Xian, what is really important in Wancheng is, firstly, the families of the hundreds of thousands of black troops, followed by the thousand prairie horses and the armaments of the Liang army, and the rest is Huanwu's hoard. Military rations in Wancheng.

Wancheng was in the hands of Huanwu and was the passage to the south.But in the hands of Yang Xian, it is the place of the Four Wars, and there is a danger of being surrounded at any time.

Fortunately, because of Jin Xin's surrender, neither Huan Wu, who was far away in the capital, nor Huan Zhong and Cai Tong on the front line, could react at this moment.

It is impossible for Yang Xian to occupy Wancheng.Although the Shu army was able to hold on due to Wancheng's high walls and thick walls, it would fall into what Yang Xian least wanted to see, a tug-of-war of attrition with the Liang army.

Compared with Huan Wu's wealth and wealth, Yang Xian is not so stupid.

I have to say that Huan Wu's family background is really strong.It is really impossible for the Shu army and the hundreds of thousands of family members of the Heiyu army to move all Wancheng's supplies in a short period of time.For Yang Xian, the supplies here cannot be taken away, nor can they fall into the hands of Huan Wu and Cai Tong.

"My subordinate understands!"

The generals of the Shu army received Yang Xian's order and went down to start preparations. Only Han Fuli stayed behind.

Yang Xian waved his hand, and Han Buhuan walked up quietly.Yang Xian said a few words in his ear, and Han Buhua straightened his body and held his hands in his hands.

"The last will obey!"

Yang Xian was the only one left in the empty hall. He shook his feather fan gently and looked at him dimly.

"Cai Tong, you are so cruel!"
