At first glance at the situation on the battlefield, the potter felt as if he had met the emperor, and he couldn't help but feel inexplicably excited.
But soon, the pottery merchant gave up this strange idea. If the emperor was really here, it meant that Dong Zhuo must also be here... It felt a bit unrealistic, and he might have been overthinking it.
But in the battlefield, mixed in the fighting circle of the two armies and horses, there were clearly a large number of luxury cars. Next to these cars, there were many well-dressed attendants... What on earth is going on?
Who were in those cars?
"Master!" A shout brought the pottery merchant back to reality from his thoughts.
I saw a mighty big man, among thousands of troops, like a bloodthirsty tiger in conflict, tearing a bloody path through the crowd!
Behind that ferocious tiger, there were a group of little tiger guards. They moved nimbly and cooperated with each other tacitly. In an instant, they were all covered in blood. Their armors were almost changed in color with the shocking bright red.
A group of soldiers and horses galloped across the field, running towards the pottery merchant.
It was Xu Chu who led the soldiers of the Tiger Guard to the pottery merchant's location!
The war horse under Xu Chu's crotch was as fast as flying, and the horse-cutting tiger-head sword in his hand was opened and closed. It was more than a thousand kilograms strong but it was swung so tightly that almost every time the sword struck, someone would fall in a pool of blood.
Just from the time Xu Chu called out to the pottery merchant and galloped toward him, no less than thirty people died under Xu Chu's sword. Even the brave and skilled Xiliang army saw such fierce generals.
, did not dare to show their sharpness, and dispersed to the side to give way, forcing Xu Chu and his Tiger Guard soldiers to cut a bloody straight line on the battlefield and come straight to the pottery merchant.
"How are you? Are you hurt?" the potter asked anxiously and concernedly.
"Hey! Don't mention it!" Xu Chu looked like a bloody man at the moment, but he still didn't care. He raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and said in a loud voice: "A certain family, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others led the vanguard army first.
, when we passed this narrow road, we had another scout report, saying that Dong Zhuo's general Guo Bin was driving in with a row of luxury cars... At first we thought it was a trick, but the army wanted to lure us in.
Chasing Zhongfu...but he didn't dare to pursue the army to pursue him!"
The pottery merchant heard this and asked curiously: "Then how did you pursue him later?"
Xu Chu said happily: "It's not the one named Xia Houyuan under Cao Cao! This guy is a capable man! He said that since the chariots protected by Guo Bang are richly decorated and numerous, there must be important people inside...
… At this critical moment of relocating the capital, Dong Zhuo had trouble looking ahead and couldn’t find such a finely arranged car to use as bait for a while… Moreover, the road was narrow and difficult to find, but it was close to Bianshui River and could reach the inner territory of Guanzhong. Guo
You must be protecting an important person, and if you want to secretly take this way, you can quickly enter Chang'an!"
Xu Chu’s words confirmed the potter’s conjecture!
The potter's expression seemed a little excited, his hands were shaking slightly due to nervousness, and the little suspicion from before began to resurface.
"Is it the emperor's chariot?"
Xu Chu said "Hey" and shook his head.
Although he already had the answer in his mind, Tao Shang couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Xu Chu sniffed and continued: "When the pursuers came in, we thought it was the emperor's chariot at first, but when Guo Bin saw us catching up, he immediately scattered the chariots in the open area and set up a formation.
Fight with us, don't worry about the people in the chariot! He shouldn't be the emperor... But Guo Bin also has some skills. He has a good plan for dispatching troops, but how can he be our enemy? It won't be long before he
After being beaten and defeated, Guo Si himself was hit by Zhang Fei's spear and almost died. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo's generals such as Fan Chou, Xu Rong, Hu Xi and others came to support him one after another with heavy troops.
What are you saying...'return to my lord'! The enemy's troops are getting larger and larger, and it's thanks to you that you arrived in time, otherwise we would have been in danger...This situation is really troublesome now, the fight is stalemate!"
"Princes?" Tao Shang was stunned when he heard this. He was not interested in other things Xu Chu said, but asked alone: "Are those ministers and ministers in the imperial court sitting in those chariots?"
Xu Chu snorted and said: "You asked me, but who did a certain family ask?... Anyway, that's what the Xiliang army shouted!"
The potter's heart became active again.
Although no trace of the Emperor or Dong Zhuo was found, by chance, they actually ran into a team specially sent by Dong Zhuo to escort the ministers of the DPRK.
It was fitting that these people were unlucky. Originally, they were marching to Chang'an with the large group of people migrating from Luoyang, but the official roads were too chaotic, conflicts and disasters occurred from time to time, and it was not safe.
Dong Zhuo accompanied the emperor and couldn't take care of these courtiers...but his care and attention to them must be far more than that of ordinary people, so during the migration, Dong Zhuo divided the teams of courtiers and ministers into three teams, each led by Li Jue
, Guo Si and Zhang Ji protected him and headed to Chang'an.
Guo Si led this group of officials, but because of the chaos on the road and some other reasons, they fell behind. There were too many people migrating on the official road and they couldn't move fast at all.
In order to reach Chang'an as soon as possible, Guo Bang sent people to find this side road leading to the Bianshui River, and then covered the team he was protecting to change the route... Unfortunately, what a coincidence, but it happened to be the vanguard army chasing Dong Zhuo.
The scout found out!
The pottery merchant stared closely at the drivers in the field...the frightened ministers and their family members who didn't know what to do. He listened to their loud cries...and thought about Xiao Jiujiu in his mind.
Is this battle worth fighting or not?
If the emperor could be rescued, it would be a great victory without a doubt, but in front of him are the ministers of the imperial court... To be fair, their status is really worthless to the princes.
Is this transaction a loss or a profit?
At this time, Tao Shang was surprised to see that not far from the protective formation of soldiers and horses he led, a group of soldiers and horses led by Sun Ce were fighting bravely with a well-equipped Xiliang cavalry!
There was no eye on the battlefield. Sun Jian, who had just asked Sun Ce to follow him, didn't know if he was murderous at this moment... He didn't know where he went, leaving Sun Ce on the battlefield, leading an army to fight alone.
But looking at Sun Ce's performance, Sun Jian's initial worries were simply unnecessary.
At this moment, Sun Ce, galloping alone on the battlefield, finally began to show his prowess!
But I saw this young talent who would later be called the "Little Overlord of Jiangdong", brandishing a spear, not cooperating with any guards or lieutenants, and just galloping single-handedly into the enemy's chaotic formation!
His spear pierced left and right, and with every move, at least one person was killed by Sun Ce's spear. It was really so powerful that a god could block a god and kill a god. It really fulfilled the saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
Xu Chu's face was full of excitement and he couldn't help but admired: "Who is that little boy? He is so amazing?"
"His name is Sun Ce, he is Sun Jian's eldest son... he can also be regarded as my peer." Tao Shang calmly answered Xu Chu's question.
Xu Chu turned his head in surprise when he heard this, looked at the pottery merchant up and down a few times, and then showed deep contempt in his eyes.
The potter's heart was very bitter. He knew that Xu Chu's expression meant that he was of the same generation. Why are you such a bad guy? Look at him!
