"First...sir! Why don't we take...Xia Yao and the others and leave together!"
Zhao Yun clenched his fists and seemed extremely torn. After much deliberation, he could only ask Yi Xiaotian.
But before Yi Xiaotian could reply, Xia Yao on the side stopped them:
"Mr. Yi... I know it will be more enjoyable for the general to follow you, and I believe you will live up to the general's trust in you..."
"I can't go with you... There are still brothers waiting for us to go back in the camp. We must give them an explanation... This is the last time."
Xia Yao smiled sadly, the determination in his words undisguised.
Zhao Yun wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a cold arrow suddenly shot from the corner of the valley behind Xia Yao.
Cao Ang on the side reacted extremely quickly. Before the cold arrow hit Xia Yao, he immediately cut him in half with his sword.
But it was also the case, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the other side of the valley.
"Xia Yao! You are so brave...How dare you hide..."
"Wha...what...you...are you?"
Chen Dao's voice was extremely prominent. He was full of anger and roared at Xia Yao's back. Hearing this tone, if Xia Yao was not killed on the spot, it would be difficult to understand the hatred in his heart.
However... just as he was glaring at Xia Yao, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Zhao Zilong!?"
Chen Dao's eyes were about to burst. He had previously wondered why Xia Yao would choose this time to betray the army. Now that he saw Zhao Yun, everything made sense.
Anger overwhelmed Chen Dao's mind, and before his soldiers could catch up, he had already shot an arrow at Xia Yao.
What disappointed him was that someone came out from nowhere next to Xia Yao and actually cut off the arrows he shot with a single blow.
Having lost his chance, Chen Dao drew his bow again——
But this time...
"General, I'll stop them here, you go quickly...go quickly!!"
Xia Yao excitedly shouted to Zhao Yun in front of him.
He turned over and took out the long bow from his back, and unexpectedly joined Chen Dao in holding the bow.
The two faced each other, with murderous intent in their eyes.
It was really unimaginable that I had saved Xia Yao from prison, only to be blocked by him.
The desire to kill could no longer be concealed. The two men let go at the same time, and the arrows flew through the air. There was only a crisp sound, and a spark appeared in the field. It turned out that the two arrows had collided with each other.
"Zilong...we have to go!"
Yi Xiaotian knew that this scene might be very difficult for Zhao Yun to let go.
But as the commander named Xia Yao said, when Chen went over there, there were hundreds of people at a glance. Even if they were willing to stay and help Xia Yao, the huge gap in combat power could not be achieved by Zhao Yun and Cao Ang alone.
Individuals can change.
There are also Yi Xiaotian, Fan Ling, Qin Mi and a few other burdens here that are basically useless. If he doesn't leave, he really won't have a chance.
"General, let's go! Let's go quickly... I, Xia Yao, no... All the old troops in our camp who have followed you, General, hope to see you continue to gallop on the battlefield in the future - being your subordinate in this life is worth it.
!”
Just as he was talking, Xia Yao got on his horse and looked at the two veterans who were traveling with him.
"Lao Pei, Lao Li, are you afraid of death?"
"Brother Xia, do you look down on us?
Haha, we have walked so many roads with the general, and we have long forgotten the word death. Today we have the honor to come with you to see the general off, what else can we say!"
"Haha, you are worthy of being recognized by me, Xia Yao——"
"So……"
Xia Yao picked up the spear beside him and did not look back. He just flicked the gun body and rode out, muttering continuously:
"General, I have never been able to learn the essence of this Hundred Birds Shooting Phoenix Spear. The next use is ugly. You would rather blame me for not being good at learning and ruining your reputation."
The three fast horses headed towards the cavalry formation composed of hundreds of cavalry at the far end. Zhao Yun stared blankly at their backs, a drop of heroic tears slipped unnoticeably from the corner of his eyes——
"How could it be... I have never regretted teaching you this marksmanship in my life... Xia Yao, we are destined to meet again."
This was the last time Zhao Yun saw Xia Yao, but until the moment before Zhao Yun died on the bed, he still remembered these subordinates who had gone through fire and water for him.
This has long been a friendship that transcends power and grudges. Although it appears short and tragic on the battlefield, it has never insulted the name of any hero who is willing to forge this bond.
No matter how ordinary the protagonist is, they are still the shining stars at the moment when they die generously.
——
The Battle of Yihan, in the final analysis, was definitely an extremely brutal battle for Yizhou.
Due to the poor circulation of information, the surrounding cities received a message from Yihan asking for help and immediately rushed to support. They were blocked by two armies led by Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, who had already anticipated their support route.
By encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao, nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured in the Yihan area.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang, who was strategizing among the main army and advancing steadily, received intelligence from Chen Dao in the vanguard army.
At this time, the two vanguards, Chen Dao and Huang Zhong, who had left first, were about to arrive in Langzhong, and Zhuge Liang had just stayed in Yihan for a while.
But when he saw the news sent back by Chen Dao, his expression suddenly became serious.
Yihan Nanyafu Pavilion...
Files like snow flying in the sky kept arriving at my house.
Now Jingnan's plan to dispatch a large army to march into Yizhou has achieved a staged victory.
Zhuge Liang asked Pang Tong to rush to support Chen Dao and the others. He and Liu Bei were staying in Yihan - this was not because they did not dare to go to the front line. They had learned the lesson from last time. Zhuge Liang, who was playing steadily and steadily, was now waiting for the baggage from the rear.
The arrival of the team.
Yes, when he realized that Pang Tong's on-the-battle command would be more flexible and changeable than his own in many cases, Zhuge Liang did not feel any jealousy. Instead, he delegated power to Pang Tong and asked him, as the frontline commander, to dispatch the frontline troops as quickly as possible.
The movements and pace of the army, while he cooperated with Liu Bei and dealt with more logistical matters.
No one understands his family's situation better than Zhuge Liang. He has been familiar with classics for many years and has the ability to summarize and summarize since childhood, which makes him very handy in handling political affairs and documents.
Baggage is a top priority, especially when entering the mountainous terrain. If you are not careful, your own logistics supplies may be outflanked and cut off by the enemy. Even if the supply is not cut off, Jin Jin's harassment is enough.
They cause a lot of trouble.
The battle line this time seems to be very different from the one in Jiangdong, but it is really many times more difficult.
Moreover, after experiencing a great battle, the unprepared Jingnan army was already in a state of exhaustion. Now it relies on high morale to hold up the front. If the logistics fail to keep up, the consequences are not difficult to imagine...
So he wanted to personally oversee——
But at this moment, a report from Chen Dao made him suddenly panic.
"What's wrong Kong Ming?
You look so bad, are you tired?"
"No...it's Yi Xiaotian and the others...if nothing unexpected happens, they may be going to join Liu Zhang."
