When Yin Lihua and Liu Huang wanted to leave by car, they discovered that the axle of the carriage was seriously damaged and could not be repaired in a short time. With no choice, Yin Lihua and Liu Huang could only get out of the carriage and follow Fu Jun.
Xuying and others walked.
The two women Yin Lihua and Liu Huang couldn't walk fast. Fu Jun and the surviving guards were all injured and couldn't walk fast. Before they left the Yinshan area, they heard the rumble of horse hooves behind them.
The faces of Xu Ying, Xu Ting and Xu Fei all changed, and they said: "It must be the cavalry of the Red Eyebrow Army who are catching up!"
Hearing that the Red Eyebrow Army was chasing after them, everyone present speeded up their march in unison.
Fu Jun knew very well that his two legs could not move faster than the four legs of his horse, not to mention there were so many wounded on his side that he could not move fast at all.
He made a prompt decision and said urgently: "Xu Ying, the three of you protect the madam and the eldest princess and take shelter in the forest. We will continue to move forward and lure away the pursuers!"
Hearing his words, Yin Lihua and Xu Ying frowned. Xu Ying said: "They went into the forest to hide together!"
Fu Jun shook his head and said: "If this is the case, none of us can escape. Someone must lead the Red Eyebrow Army away!"
"But..." Xuying was still hesitant, and reason told him that Fu Jun was right, and this was his best choice, but emotionally, he really couldn't bear to watch people like Fu Jun die.
"There's no time, you go quickly!" Fu Jun urged urgently.
Yin Lihua said loudly: "I won't leave! General Fu, I have already said that we will either live together or die together!"
Fu Jun's face flushed with anxiety and he said loudly: "Madam, now is not the time to be impulsive. I hope that Madam can put the overall situation first! Madam must not fall into the hands of the Red Eyebrow Army under any circumstances!"
Once Yin Lihua is captured alive by the Red Eyebrow Army, the Red Eyebrow Army can completely use Yin Lihua to blackmail themselves and the emperor. At that time, our situation will be too passive.
Yin Lihua took out the dagger she carried with her again and said sternly to Fu Jun: "Don't worry, General Fu, I will not be captured alive by the Red Eyebrow Army no matter what!"
"Madam" Fu Jun was really anxious. He turned his eyes and looked at Xu Ying, Xu Ting and Xu Fei, and motioned to the three of them to pull Yin Lihua away quickly.
Xuying and the other three were not willing to watch Fu Jun and his guards die, but in the current situation, protecting Yin Lihua was indeed the most important thing.
"Madam!" Xuying and the three of them looked at Yin Lihua.
Yin Lihua was resolute, raised the dagger in her hand and said, "I'm not going anywhere!"
"Then... Madam, please forgive me for being rude!" Xuying said, and just turned around, and he was in front of Yin Lihua.
The latter didn't even see what was going on, and suddenly felt his wrist go numb, and the dagger in his hand had been taken away by Xuying. Then, Xuying grabbed Yin Lihua's arm and walked towards the woods on the roadside.
At this time, Liu Huang's sudden words made Xuying freeze. She asked in a trembling voice: "Are those men in black still hiding in the forest?"
Fu Jun, Xu Ying and others couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this. Yes, on the surface, the men in black seemed to have withdrawn, but in fact, were they still hiding in the woods, waiting for opportunities?
Can't make any guarantees.
There are pursuers of the Red Eyebrow Army behind them, and there may be a large number of assassins hiding in the woods. Now, their group is really in a dilemma.
Just when Fu Jun and others felt in a dilemma, the rumble of horse hooves was also heard in front of the road.
People's expressions changed again. Could it be that the Red Eyebrow Army also came from the front? If so, then misfortunes never come singly, and God will destroy everyone on our side!
The cavalry coming from the front was moving very fast. Gradually, people could see the dust flying in the distance on the road, as if a hurricane was blowing.
Fu Jun looked at the people around him. There were only about twenty guards following him at this time, and all of them were injured. Fu Jun took a deep breath and shouted in a loud voice: "Form up! Get ready to meet the enemy!"
Even if they fight to the death, they will not surrender to the Red Eyebrow Army.
Fu Jun and more than twenty scarred guards lined up in two rows on the road. The first row of guards held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, and the second row of guards held spears in both hands.
Even though there were only about twenty people left, even though they were injured and exhausted, they still set up a regular battle formation. This is the quality of a regular army.
After arranging the battle formation, Fu Jun glanced at Xuying and the others and shook his head at the same time. Xuying and the others understood, and without explanation, they forcibly pulled Yin Lihua and Liu Huang and hid in the woods on the roadside.
They did not go deeper into the woods, but hid behind the trees at the edge of the woods, sticking their heads out to observe the situation outside.
Gradually, the cavalry team in front is getting closer and closer, and people can clearly feel the earth tremor caused by the large number of horses galloping.
Fu Jun squinted his eyes, twisted his bow and nocked an arrow, aiming the arrow at the oncoming cavalry.
However, he failed to shoot the arrow. He saw a large flag erected in the cavalry team, with a big word "Deng" embroidered on it.
After Fu Jun looked at it, he couldn't help but slowly put down the raised bow and arrow, and watched carefully.
The Red Eyebrow Army did not have uniform uniforms, and the soldiers were dressed in a haphazard manner. The oncoming cavalry was wearing a uniform red uniform on the inside and brown leather armor on the outside. It was the standard Han army dress.
When the distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps, Fu Jun finally saw clearly that he knew the generals running at the front, including Deng Chen, Deng Feng's uncle and nephew, as well as Yin Shi and Yin Xing.
brother.
Seeing clearly that the people coming were Deng Chen, Deng Feng, Yinshi, and Yinxing, Fu Jun's tense nerves instantly relaxed. He waved to the guards on the left and right, signaling everyone to abandon the battle formation.
Soon, the cavalry team headed by Deng Chen, Deng Feng, Yin Shi, and Yin Xing ran to Fu Jun and others.
They first looked around at the injured people, and then looked around again in unison, but did not see Yin Lihua. Deng Feng couldn't wait to ask: "General Fu, where is Lihua?"
Deng Feng and Yin Lihua were childhood sweethearts. He had also been infatuated with Yin Lihua for a long time, but it was just a matter of love. Deng Feng had feelings for Yin Lihua, but Yin Lihua had no feelings for him at all.
Later, Liu Xiu appeared and formed a relationship with Yin Lihua, so there was no possibility of a relationship between Yin Lihua and Deng Feng. Now, Deng Fengye has married a wife, but because of his family relationship, the woman he married is not the woman he likes.
Although Deng Feng had no ill feelings for Yin Lihua, the friendship between the two childhood sweethearts was still there. During Liu Xiu's stay in Hebei, Yin Lihua was always protected by Deng Feng when she returned to Xinye. This was why Yin Lihua was able to stay in Nanyang.
The main reason for peace and quiet.
Before Fu Jun could reply, Yin Lihua, Liu Huang, and Xuying quickly walked out of the woods on the roadside.
"Lihua!" Seeing Yin Lihua safe and sound, everyone's hearts finally returned to their original positions, and their faces showed joy.
Deng Chen looked at Fu Jun, frowned and asked, "General Fu, what on earth is going on?"
Fu Jun immediately told the two brothers Deng Chen, uncle and nephew Deng Feng, and Yin Shi Yin Xing how he was attacked and how he was hunted down by the Red Eyebrow Army.
After Deng Feng heard this, his eyebrows stood up, he jumped back on his horse and said: "Don't be afraid of Lihua, I will defeat the enemy!" After speaking, he turned back to his cavalry and shouted: "Brothers, follow me to destroy the thieves!" wavv
"kill"
The Deng family is a wealthy family in Nanyang. In the past two years, Deng Feng has also established his own power in Nanyang. With Xinye as his base, he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
This time Fu Jun went to Xinye to take Yin Lihua to Luoyang, and also invited Deng Feng to join his side. Deng Feng was a little hesitant about this.
He used to follow Liu Qian, and he admired Liu and Deng Feng from the bottom of his heart, but he could not say how much he despised Liu Xiu, but Liu Xiu's weight in his mind was indeed far less important than Liu's.
In addition, he was now the local emperor in the Xinye area, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he was asked to go to Luoyang and serve as Liu Xiu's minister.
Fu Jun invited Deng Feng to surrender, but Deng Feng did not make an immediate statement, but suggested that he should consider it.
Because Fu Jun was eager to return to Luoyang and resume his life, he did not stay in Xinye to wait for Deng Feng's reply. Instead, Deng Chen, Yin Shi, and Yin Xing stayed behind and repeatedly persuaded Deng Feng not to be dazzled by the petty profit in front of him.
, surrender to Liu Xiu, surrender to the emperor, this is the right path.
After much consideration, Deng Feng finally made up his mind and surrendered to Liu Xiu. He then took his troops and horses, together with Deng Chen, Yin Shi, and Yin Xing, to chase Fu Jun's team. As soon as he caught up,
Then they encountered the Red Eyebrow Army.
Deng Feng really didn't have a good impression of the Red Eyebrow Army at all. The Red Eyebrow Army had invaded Xinye before and burned, killed and looted the villages and towns around Xinye. Deng Feng was furious and personally led his troops to repel them.
Later, the Red Eyebrow Army also knew that Deng Feng of Xinye was extremely good at fighting and did not dare to invade again.
Now they encountered the Red Eyebrow Army again. It could be said that they were enemies, and they were extremely jealous. Deng Chen, Yin Shi, and Yin Xing also mounted their horses and joined Deng Feng to attack the Red Eyebrow Army.
Neither side was the main force, it was cavalry versus cavalry. Deng Feng was famous for his bravery and desperate fighting skills. During the battle, Deng Feng took the lead and entered the enemy camp, killing the chief cavalry general of the Red Eyebrow Army on his horse with one sword.
Down.
After losing their leader, the Red Eyebrow Army was in chaos. After hundreds of cavalry were lost, the rest of the cavalry had no intention of fighting and fled.
The Red Eyebrow Cavalry who had fled back after being defeated reunited with the main force and told the general that they had encountered a large group of people led by Deng Feng. The Red Eyebrow Army General did not hesitate and immediately ordered that the rear team become the front team and all retreat without fighting.
Deng Fengjun engaged in a head-on confrontation.
The Red Eyebrow Army retreated, and Deng Feng led the army to protect Yin Lihua and Liu Huang. They successfully traveled out of the Yinshan area and arrived at Bowang County.
Bowang County was not captured by the Red Eyebrow Army. Bowang Ling was appointed by the original Gengshi court, and he and Deng Feng were old acquaintances.
After learning that Deng Feng had led a large army to scare off the Red Eyebrow Army and arrived at Bowang City, Bowang Ling went out of the city to greet him in person.
After the meeting, Deng Feng did not even dismount. He shook the reins forward, urged the horse to come to Bowang Ling, and said condescendingly: "Liu County Magistrate, I am leading my troops north this time. I plan to go to Luoyang and seek refuge with the emperor. I don't know that Liu County
What is your plan?" As he spoke, Deng Feng held the hilt of the sword under his ribs with one hand.
Bowang Ling's name was Liu. Seeing Deng Feng's murderous look, he felt chills on the back of his neck. He quickly expressed his position: "I will join General Deng in surrendering to the imperial court and following the emperor!"
