Chapter 539 Self-protection

Guo was Lei Yuan's earliest subordinate.

When Lei Yuan was still regarded as a weak boy by Lei Xu, Guo had already followed him. At that time, King Chen was murdered by Yuan Shu's conspiracy and his troops were dispersed. Guo, who was once a brave general under King Chen, wandered around the Jianghuai area and was not aware of his own. One day, he met Lei Yuan by chance, and he got Lei Yuan to take off his clothes and push him to eat, so he became Lei Yuan's entourage leader.

In fact, Lei Yuan's methods were still very immature that day, and it did not really impress Guo Jing. The reason why Guo Jing participated in him was that he felt that this young man had a gentle personality and could have a few years of idle meals with him. As for the destructive things about the Lei family in Lujiang, Guo was never interested in it.

Who knew that Lei Yuan suddenly rose up in danger later. In just a few years, he not only became the leader of the Lei clan of Lujiang, but also went to the north and south, making such great achievements and making such a great power?

Is this the young man I knew back then? Sometimes, late at night, Guo would doubt it in his dream, and then wake up with a smile because he was too happy.

In troubled times, he once only wanted to survive and survive until the world returned to stability. Now he can follow the wise and decisive lord, do strong and enterprising things, build and support the country, and thus glorify his reputation and pass on it in history... What a real man wants is nothing more than this!

Even though Guo Jing's status gradually grew higher later, he had already obtained Lei Yuan's permission to break away from the Lujiang Lei family system and became a captain who led the troops alone. But in Guo Jing's heart, Lei Yuan's relationship with him was still the young man and his entourage leader of that year, and he had never changed.

Even when he knew he would die, there was only one thing that circled in his mind: Did the little husband receive my warning? Did the little husband start evacuating?

Time is pushed forward seven hours.

Fortunately, Lei Yuan was in Liao County, only 140 miles away from the soldiers who had left Guo Jing. Guo Jing sent a scout who was summoned yesterday night, and before dawn, he had already rushed into Lei Yuan camp.

Li Zhen came forward and continued, and heard the scout say a few words, knowing that it was extraordinary. He immediately took him to the central army tent: "General! Emergency military information in Xincai's direction!"

In the past few days, Lei Yuan dispatched troops to guard against the enemy from the north, and repeatedly approved the formation of the people with his staff. Considering that the people's journey was slow, Lei Yuan organized them into groups of every two thousand people, each responsible for the baggage and vehicles. The earliest groups had started to operate several days in advance, and are currently moving forward at a speed of more than 20 miles a day. The leading men led by He Song have passed through Yiyang.

Once the whereabouts of the people attracted the attention of the Cao army in Jiangxia, Wen Pin raised his hand and sent people to block the Minghe Tunnel, Zhiyuan and other dangerous passes. Therefore, they must try to approach the pass quietly. When Lei Yuan’s troops arrive, they will break through the pass and pour into Jiangxia in one fell swoop. This is a very complicated operation, but it must be controlled carefully. And the dispatch of their own troops must also be closely coordinated with it.

Ma Zhong, Mei Cheng, Lei Yan and other staff members were all busy and anxious; Lei Yuan also spent a lot of effort on this. That night, he, Yan Pu, and many managers were busy until the third update before they decided to arrange the last delivery of food and fodder. Then Ma Zhong and others moved to another camp to continue to approve the detailed matters, while Lei Yuan leaned on the couch and was a little sleepy.

Perhaps because of his busy work, he couldn't sleep well. Perhaps because of the buzzing mosquitoes in the tent, he seemed to be unable to fall asleep at all, and he heard Li Zhen's anxious voice coming from outside the tent.

"Emergency military information in the direction of Xincai?"

Lei Yuan had actually been prepared for a long time. Since he was here, he would inevitably fight with Cao's army. But at this time, his heart suddenly jumped, as if there was something wrong with this military situation.

He calmed down and stood up from the couch and said, "Speak again!"

The messenger with dusty face came in with Li Zhen's support and fell to the ground and knelt down and reported: "Last evening, we found tens of thousands of cavalry of Cao's army surging in the west of Xincai. The one who led the troops was... Cao Gong himself."

Lei Yuan's arm, which was holding the table, suddenly exerted force, almost jumping up and exclaiming. For a moment, he felt the blood in his body surge into the head, causing the blood vessels on his forehead to explode. Then the blood left like a tide, making him feel like he was in an ice cave, trembling with coldness.

He tried his best to speak calmly and asked, "Ten thousand cavalry? Cao Cao himself? Did you read it wrong?"

The envoy presented the document and said, "It is indeed tens of thousands, and he held Cao Gong's command high, and the momentum is coming very quickly. The commander Guo wrote this in an urgent letter. In addition, he said that this is a critical survival and death. Please ask the general to retreat immediately without any delay. He will lead the army to fight and swear to stop Cao's actions to the death."

Lei Yuan opened the letter and read it at a glance, his expression remained unchanged.

"I understand, you go down and rest."

Outside the envoy withdrew from the tent, Lei Yuan said again: "Hand the seal!"

"exist!"

"Summon Yan Pu, Wu Ban, Lei Tong, Deng Tong, Ren Hui and others, come quickly."

"yes!"

Li Zhen ran away.

At this time, Chi Li Ningta, who was sleeping outside the tent, woke up just now. He stopped snoring, rubbed his eyes, looked at the white sky in a daze, and then looked at Lei Yuan, who was sitting solemnly.

Lei Yuan smiled at Chi Li Ningta. So Chi Li Ningta raised her head and lay down again, put her military uniforms on her stomach, and her heavy body pressed the simple wooden boards into a plaid.

Lei Yuan then changed his posture. When he heard the military report, his arm was holding the edge of the table. At this time, the wooden edge had been broken down, and the rough wooden stubble pierced into his palm, dripping blood.

Yan Pu was in the tent next door and was the first to arrive.

Lei Yuan had read the letter to him.

Yan Pu's face changed for a moment, and sweat oozed out of his forehead: "Is this true? This...this..."

"We lured the enemy with great fanfare, but it ended up being too lured." Lei Yuan continued to say for him: "So Cao Mengde really regarded us as a great enemy and personally brought us a strong army here. I am so lucky to be able to fight the heroes of the world."

"You can't fight, General!" Ma Zhong was stunned for a long time, and suddenly shouted sternly.

"General, how powerful do we have to fight against Cao Cao's direct elite soldiers? This is to hit the stone with eggs and seek death!" He subconsciously looked outside the tent and lowered his voice: "This is a critical moment. General, we can only retreat immediately, the faster the better! We cannot hesitate!"

"Retreat immediately, the faster the better?" Lei Yuan frowned and repeated Yan Pu's words.

Yan Pu nodded repeatedly.

Lei Yuan pondered silently.

Yan Pu waited for a long time, but couldn't help it, and said half a step forward: "General! Although we now claim to have 20,000 people, most of them are the military farming soldiers in Runan, Lujiang and other places. They are neither elite nor suspicious. The ones that are truly available are only 3,000 people except for the two captains of Guo and Ding in the north and the captain He captain in the south... Even though the general is heroic, the number of people is very different! What's more, Cao Cao is here!"

At this time, the generals came in one after another.

Lei Yuan was strict in the army and said that he was urgently summoned, but no one dared to delay. Deng Tong had no time to put his robe on, and ran over with half his arms naked, and was the first to arrive.

Lei Yuan handed him the military newspaper: "You can take a look first, and then give it to others."

Although Deng Tong is a rude man, he has been quite familiar with the words in the past two years. He looked at the words on the letter with his thick fingers. He only saw half of them, and then jumped up and overturned the case in front of him.

At this time, Wu Ban and Ren Hui came in side by side and hurriedly grabbed the letter to read it.

"If you want to retreat, how should you go?" Lei Yuan ignored them and continued to ask Yan Pu.

Yan Pu took the map of the face, thought about it, and then abandoned it: "Why do you have to think about it now? General, we will lead the light cavalry in our headquarters and head to Jiangxia in a hurry. It's that simple. As for those newly surrendered soldiers, they can't care about it!"

"So many military and civilians gathered because of our call. How could they throw them into the tiger's mouth once something happened?"

Yan Pu's sparse beard trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Cao army is all cavalry, and the marching is fast! It is already a blessing that we can protect ourselves. How can we care about others? If we can rely on these military and civilians to slightly stop Cao's army's actions, it would be a good thing!"

When he said this, Ren Hui said angrily: "Where is Lao Guo? And Ding Chengyuan? They are still planning to block the enemy to the death, why should we escape first?"

Yan Pu stood in front of Ren Hui: "Since they want to block the enemy to the death, they are to give us a chance to escape! If we don't leave, will we let them die in vain?"

Yan Pu was too anxious and spitting on Ren Hui's face. Ren Hui wiped his face, barely suppressing the rush to kill Yan Pu with one punch, and looked at Lei Yuan miserably: "General! We! We..."

Ren Hui couldn't continue to say anything.
