Chapter 40: Zhongfu

"I, Ye Zhao, please see Your Majesty!" When he came to Liu Hong's imperial chariot, Ye Zhao bowed and bowed.

"Ye Qing, what happened?" Liu Hong walked out of the sedan chair with a pale face, and said in a panic.

"I ambushed by the enemy." Ye Zhao bowed and said, "Now the enemy is surrounded by all sides. Your Majesty is relieved. If a blizzard falls today, it will hinder the enemy's sight. Although there are many enemies, it is difficult to break our defense. Just wait for the snow to stop, the surrounding Zhao troops will definitely come to explore before our army arrives! The enemy will not be able to capture it for a long time, so they will naturally retreat."

Ye Zhao did not say that he was surrounding three que 1. Liu Hong was not stupid, but after all, he had never experienced a real battle formation. He was afraid that if Liu Hong made a stupid decision in a hurry, he would really kill people.

"Are Ye Qing confident that he will wait until reinforcements come?" Liu Hong looked at Ye Zhao and said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, although I am young, I have fought countless battles and suffered very few defeats. Although this battle came suddenly, I will definitely be able to protect Your Majesty's safety." Ye Zhaosu said.

Liu Hong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He thought about Ye Zhao's past achievements and felt a lot more at ease in his heart, so he had the heart to take care of other things: "Ye Qing knows who is the thief? Here is close to Heishan, but the Heishan bandit is attacking?"

"The Black Mountain bandits are just a remnant of the Yellow Turbans. No matter how many people are, they are just a mob. However, the people who attacked this time are well-trained and have good fighting rules, so they are probably not the Black Mountain bandits." Ye Zhao shook his head. At least at the moment, the Black Mountain bandits do not have the ability yet. Looking at Liu Hong, he said: "Besides, the other party has been planning for a long time. This sudden attack seems to be prepared for it. The Black Mountain bandits are hiding in the mountains and forests. How can they know our army's whereabouts so accurately and deploy them in advance?"

Tens of thousands of troops, before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court had to mobilize so many troops and horses, and although Muye was close to Heishan, he could gather so many troops without any news. Obviously, there were people in Jizhou and even in the court who deliberately concealed the news.

"You mean..." Liu Hong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"I am just guessing based on the current situation of the enemy. As for who the enemy is, I dare not infer randomly before obtaining evidence." Ye Zhao bowed and said.

"Haha, OK!" Liu Hong did not answer, but just sneered: "Ye Qing just go and face the challenge, and then make a decision after I return to Luoyang."

"Here!" Ye Zhao bowed to Liu Hong, turned around and quickly got on the horse, quickly returned to the front line, took the tiger talisman from Ji Ling, and continued to command the army. He had already made sufficient preparations, and he made many traps outside the camp. Now that the heavy snow covers it, it is invisible, making these traps less likely to be discovered.

"Lord, the enemy's arrow formation has been looser, and it seems that the arrow cluster has been exhausted." Ji Ling looked at Ye Zhao with some excitement.

Ye Zhao nodded and looked at the sky. The blizzard had weakened a lot. He said immediately: "Before the snow stops, don't act rashly. It's better to wait for the enemy to attack and rely on the camp to strike head-on."

"Here!" Ji Ling nodded. Their duty was to protect the emperor. Even if there were fighters at this moment, he would not dare to move lightly. Otherwise, even if the enemy was wiped out, if the emperor made any mistakes, Ye Zhao would become a sinner.

"Where is Wu Qiuyi?" Ye Zhao looked back and suddenly found Wu Qiuyi's figure missing. His expression changed and he asked in a deep voice.

"A eunuch came to look for him before, and then he hurriedly left. I thought his Majesty had some instructions." Ji Ling said.

"Your Majesty has female camp guards around you, eunuchs and palace maids are all isolated... Not good!" Ye Zhao's expression changed drastically, and he didn't care about anything else. He quickly turned over and turned around and rushed towards Liu Hongzhong's army camp.

...

Outside Liu Hong's chariot, Ye Zhao had just left, and Wu Qiu Yi's figure appeared on the periphery. He wanted to meet Liu Hong, but was stopped by two female soldiers.

"Your Majesty, I will tell you something important!" Wu Qiu Yi wanted to force his way in, but was surprised to find that these female soldiers were quite strong. After several strong rushes, not only did they fail to break through the barriers of female soldiers, but many female soldiers set their bows and arrows and aimed their targets at him.

The cold sweat on his forehead flowed down instantly. This was the first time he saw such a tough woman. Even Yulin Jun was not so tough.

"Let him come in." Liu Hong was attracted by the voice, and when he saw it, Wu Qiuyi, he waved.

"Here!" The two female soldiers bowed, then took off Wu Qiuyi's weapons, and fumbled on him again. After confirming that there was no threat, they let him in.

"The last general Wu Qiu Yi, please see Your Majesty." After Wu Qiu Yi saw Liu Hong, he bowed and said.

"Please calm down." Because of Ye Zhao's previous comfort, Liu Hong's mood was much calmer at this moment, and he regained his imperial dignity. He reached out to help him, looked at Wu Qiuyi and said, "What's the matter to report?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I want to sue Ye Zhao, regardless of Your Majesty's safety. There are obviously no enemy troops in the south of the camp. As long as our army breaks south and runs all the way, we will definitely be able to run back to Hanoi before the enemy catches up. Ye Zhao refused. He ignored Your Majesty's safety and wanted to find an opportunity to defeat the enemy!" Wu Qiuyi said anxiously.

"Are you serious?" Liu Hong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Ye Zhao had said it before. The bandit army surrounded all sides and had no way to retreat.

"It's true. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can listen carefully. There are shouts of killing on both sides of the east and north, but there is no in the south. It must be that the bandit army came in a hurry and its troops were limited. He didn't care about encircling the south. Ye Zhao only cared about his reputation, fearing that the retreat would insult his famous generals, so he insisted on fighting, but took Your Majesty to a dangerous place!" Wu Qiuyi said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty!" Ren Hongchang, who was standing beside him, said anxiously: "There are military tactics, and the enemy is surrounded by three quotas and one. The enemy's army is besieging three sides, but it is inevitable that they will be pulled. I am afraid there will be ambushing the south. If you break through from the south at this time, you may be ambushed by the thieves!"

"Just, Your Majesty is setting up camp here, and it is a temporary decision. Even if the thief is prepared, he would probably not have thought that His Majesty would suddenly set up camp here and mobilize troops to attack. In addition, heavy snow fell from the sky, how can he arrange it in such a short time? On the contrary, if you do not break through at this time and wait for the thief to prepare well, our army may not even be able to break through!"

Wu Qiuyi glared at Ren Hongchang fiercely, turned to look at Liu Hong and said, "Your Majesty, time is no longer available! Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Zhao was entangled with the bandits. I am willing to guard Your Majesty to break through immediately! When you arrive in Hanoi, you can mobilize troops to rescue Ye Zhao."

Liu Hong was a little moved when he heard this. At this moment, he was in the battlefield and there were frequent flew by arrows, which really made him feel no safety.

Queen He, who was standing aside, also advised: "Yes, Your Majesty, Ye Zhao wanted to be a famous general, but he ignored His Majesty's safety. He deserved to die in vain!"

Liu Bian hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, Ye Qing should not be such a person. My son wants Ye Qing to have his own concerns."

Queen He turned around and stared at Liu Bian and said, "My son and Ye Zhao have a shallow relationship, so you should not be confused by him. This person's heart is the most complicated. Ye Zhao's status today is entirely due to his invincible reputation. If His Majesty retreats, his reputation will definitely drop sharply!"

Liu Hong's face was a little bad. Ruoshu chose one person between Ye Zhao and Wu Qiu Yi and believed him, so he naturally believed Ye Zhao even more. However, he was on the battlefield at this moment, Wu Qiu Yi and Queen He's words were not unreasonable. People's hearts were already complicated. Ye Zhao forced himself to stay and fight against the enemy for the name of invincibility. After hesitation, he said: "Since that's the case, prepare to set off immediately. Wu Qiu Yi, let you lead the Yulin Army to protect me and break through!"

"Here!" Wu Qiu Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to his promise and went to command the army.

When Ren Hongchang saw that he could not persuade Liu Hong, he ordered Li Shuxiang and Ma Nanxiang to escort Liu Hong around the Beigong Guards, and sent someone to inform Ye Zhao.

The Yulin Army was ready to go, and was originally preparing to wait for Ye Zhao's orders to fight to kill the enemy at any time. Liu Hong suddenly ordered the Yulin Army to take over by Wu Qiu Yi. Although he was unclear, between the Guard and the Emperor, the Yulin Army naturally chose to execute the emperor's order without hesitation. When Ye Zhao arrived, Liu Hong had already run away under Wu Qiu Yi's escort. He walked slowly on weekdays, but at this time he was running away, but he was a thief who ran away.

"Damn it!" Ye Zhao cursed hatefully, turned around and shouted sternly at the people around him: "I ordered the three armies to assemble and prepare to break through!"

"Lord, why did you break through at this time?" Ji Ling and others rushed to Ye Zhao and said in confusion.

"Your Majesty has run away, what's the point of defending this place? Order the archers to release three rounds of arrows, throw away all the baggage, and slowly retreat, hoping to get there!" Ye Zhao pointed at the direction where Liu Hong and others left with a ugly expression. At this moment, the Yulin Army had already left the camp and could still see the back of the army, but it was too late to stop him. He wanted to chase him, and it would only be faster if he had no command here.

...

Outside the military camp, where Wang Fen, Xu You and others were located, the south gate opened, and the news that the emperor had left the camp under the escort of the Yulin Army soon spread here.

Xu You was overjoyed when he heard this, turned to look at Wang Fen and others and said, "The great thing has been accomplished. Master Wen, immediately order the army from three sides to launch a strong attack. Be sure to drag the defenders in the camp. I will lead the army to ambush the emperor."

"Okay!" Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Wang Fen felt relieved. He nodded immediately and sent someone to pass the order. Xu You rushed out with a general.

Liu Hong was running in the snow under the escort of the Yulin Army and Beigong Wei. He was weak and could not stand it. Even though he was running so fast on the frame, he still felt dizzy and tinnitus. He shouted to the eunuch driving outside: "Go slower!"

The army ran for only five miles, and a gong suddenly rang out between two times. Then two men rushed out from both sides. The leading Yulin Army was shot countless times by a rain of arrows.

"Your impolite, your limit is over!" A loud laugh sounded from behind the crowd. Liu Hong saw through the crack of the door and saw that the unprepared Yulin Army was shattered by two sudden outbreaks.
