Chapter 174 Wei Xu rebelled, Zhang Liao came to aid
Si River, east bank.
Gao Shun's armor was broken, showing a mess, and there were only twenty or thirty soldiers left by his side. If it weren't for Hou Cheng's help, he would have fallen on the west coast.
Looking at Cao Jun who was catching up with him, Gao Shun's eyes dissipated a little. His steps were a little weak and powerless. Not only him, but also some of the remaining brothers around him were powerless.
Hou Cheng had just led some iron cavalry to break the back and didn't catch up. He was afraid that there would be a lot of danger. Only Wei Xu and more than ten wolf cavalry left, with only thirty or forty people, and they were still defeated soldiers, so they could not escape far.
"Wei Xu, the lord's last wish in his life, protect Diao Chan to Jingzhou. You lead the cavalry to protect her first, and I wait for an opportunity to cut off the back." Gao Shun's chest was rising and falling, and he said in a deep voice.
"hiss!"
Before Wei Xu could answer, a war horse was neighing and slowly falling down, foaming at the mouth. It was caused by long-term running, and they had reached their limits, and their lungs were probably broken.
Wei Xu shook his head: "It's probably difficult to leave."
After saying that, a hint of hesitation flashed in Wei Xu's eyes and said tentatively: "Boping, now the lord is dead, and this is thousands of miles away from Jingzhou. In addition, there are pursuers behind us, we..."
"We might as well surrender Cao Cao? I think Cao Cao would not have been narrow-minded and killed us, plus..." Speaking of this, Wei Xu glanced at Diao Chan on the side.
Gao Shun paused, looked at Wei Xu with a gaze, and the sharp sword in his hand suddenly raised, "Wei Xu, my lord treats you well, you want to betray the Lord and ask for honor just now?"
A trace of coldness flashed in Wei Xu's eyes. He originally didn't want to talk about this with Gao Shun, but when Lu Bu died, Gao Shun shouldn't ignore him.
Who would have thought that this forced me to be so stupid and loyal?
If they protect Diao Chan and escape, they will probably die soon. He doesn't want to die, but if he kills Gao Shun, he is giving Diao Chan to Cao Cao, and he wants to come...
Thinking of this, his eyes were gloomy.
"Boping, I just said that. You are right. The lord treats me well. Even if I die today, I will send Diao Chan to Jingzhou." Wei Xu looked ashamed and sweared.
Gao Shun glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he urged the remaining infantry to speed up the march, hoping to get Cao's army away. What puzzled him was that Cao Cao's forced to chase him personally.
This is too worthy of Gao Shun. There are only a few dozen people under his command, including him, and they are still defeated soldiers. Any general can be sent to get him done.
Everyone fled for a while. Seeing that Gao Shun was not prepared, murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He lifted his sword and slashed at Gao Shun with a quick step, showing ferociousness on his face.
The abnormal movement behind him made Gao Shun's pupils suddenly shrink. However, when he turned his head, the bright blade had already come to him and it was hard to dodge, let alone resist it.
"Go to die!" Wei Xu smiled fiercely.
Bang!
Puchi!
The blade entered the flesh, but Wei Xu couldn't laugh.
"General, General, go quickly!"
Looking at his subordinate who had knocked him open, Gao Shun's pupils shrank, and he immediately became angry. He raised his foot and kicked Wei Xu out. At the same time, he quickly followed and shouted: "Follow me to chop him!"
As he finished speaking, the soldiers surrounded by troops looked red in their eyes.
Wei Xu was in a state of panic, and his face showed fear. He supported himself and pushed back. At the same time, he shouted to the wolf riders on both sides: "Why are you still standing there? Kill me and kill them!"
"I see who dares to help this rebel."
Gao Shun stared at him, his prestige in the army was second only to Lu Bu. All the soldiers in the army were afraid of Gao Shun. At this time, the remaining wolf cavalry hesitated and did not dare to move.
Seeing this, Gao Shun quickly stepped forward, raised his sword and slashed it down, and a stream of blood gushed out, splashing all over his body, rubbing the blood stains on his cheeks, his face was expressionless.
He didn't expect that Wei Xuzhen would dare to rebel. If his subordinates had not saved him by death, he would have probably been in a different place. Is this the money falling from the tree and scattered?
Looking at Cao Jun as he was getting closer and closer, Gao Shun looked down with a little desperate look. He was afraid that he would let Lu Bu down, and Cao Cao chased them and couldn't escape.
He held the sword tightly and wanted to turn around and fight to the death.
But at this moment, two fast horses came.
As they approached, the two looked at the Cao army who was chasing him fiercely, then looked at the camp with broken armor, and couldn't help but say, "I dare to ask the general that he is..."
Gao Shun frowned and said in a deep voice: "I am Gao Shun, are you under Zhang Xiu's command?"
The two looked at each other, and an emergency occurred. One of them ran around to report, and the other said in a deep voice: "We were originally General Zhao Yun's subordinates to accompany General Zhang Liao to assist Xuzhou."
"Zhang Liao? Reinforcements?" Gao Shun was stunned. Zhang Liao had a good relationship with him. He was always curious about why Zhang Liao had not returned yet. Unexpectedly, he brought reinforcements and said anxiously: "How many people are coming to help?"
"Well, this matter is a long story. The enemy is approaching. General, let's meet with General Zhang first." The whistle rider pursed his lips and said immediately.
"Okay," Gao Shun once again ignited hope.
I think Zhang Liao led a lot of reinforcements this time. Humph, this time, taking advantage of the chaos in Cao Cao's formation and rushing over, he will definitely defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
After a while, more than ten miles away.
Another whistleman rushed over and shouted anxiously: "Report~ General, after the hills ahead, General Gao Shungao was found, but..."
"Bo Ping?" Zhang Liao was overjoyed. Seeing the whistle cavalry wanting to speak, he frowned: "But what?"
"General Gao is surrounded by armor and soldiers, all of whom are stained with blood. There is a tail of Cao's army behind them, and it seems that he has just experienced a fierce battle."
The whistle driver replied.
"There are only dozens?" Zhang Liao frowned, with a shock in his eyes. Gao Shun's camp must be by Gao Shun's side whenever there are wars. Now there are only dozens of people left, wouldn't that mean...
The camp has died?
Thinking of this, Zhang Liao frowned and pondered, looked at the mounds on both sides of the distance, and shouted: "Wait quickly to cut down the branches and ponytails, run around the sides of the hills, raise the dust, and go quickly."
After saying that, only twenty cavalry were left beside Zhang Liao.
He thought about it, immediately stepped forward and rushed towards Gao Shun.
…………
After a long time, the remnants were not far behind.
Cao Cao led a group of infantry to chase after him. Looking at Gao Shun who was getting closer and closer, his smile could not be hidden on his face, happier than Lu Bu was killed before.
Diao Chan is in the army that he has never seen Diao Chan before, but he has long heard that Diao Chan is famous, which is a woman who can make Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu crazy about it.
If she could serve her for a few nights, it would not be in vain for his efforts.
It is approaching, less than a hundred steps away from Gaoshun.
But there were twenty cavalry standing in the distance, and he was vaguely familiar with the person in charge.
As he got closer, Cao Cao frowned. It was Zhang Liao. How could Zhang Liao suddenly appear here? And the more than twenty cavalry behind him looked like Zhang Xiujun armor.
"Boping, is it okay, where is the lord?" Zhang Liao turned over and dismounted, looked at Gao Shun with his broken armor, and asked with concern in his eyes.
"Lord... died in battle!"
Zhang Liao's pupils opened wide and showed horror. Lu Bu was dead? Looking at Diao Chan, Gao Shun was trying to protect her. It was Lu Bu who called him.
