The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 539
Liu Bowen had already planned the back road. He led 300 people to jump down the mountain road from the forest, and rode on the horses at the end and headed north.In the middle of the mountain road, the huge boulders that had been pushed down earlier blocked the passage, and Huang Gai, who was chasing after him, was blocked at the other end.

Huang Gai could only watch helplessly as Liu Bowen and his party ran away on the opposite side.

"Hateful, despicable villain, don't go!" Huang Gai roared and rode his horse up the rock pile to give chase. The road was so rugged that the horse couldn't get over it no matter what. The steel whip in Huang Gai's hand broke the horse's hindquarters. Pi, the visible horse fell down with a hoof, threw the yellow cover on the stone pile, rolled down again, dropped the helmet, and his body was bruised and purple.

Everyone hurriedly helped Huang Gai up. Huang Gai's hair was messy and his eyes were red, exuding a terrifying aura.He roared angrily: "Why don't you move the stone away quickly? I'm the only one who asks you if you run away as a thief."

Normally Huang Gai treats soldiers like brothers and sisters, no wonder Huang Gai is so vicious today.The dozens of arrows in Sun Jian's body probably wouldn't survive him. On the one hand, he was anxious for Sun Jian, and on the other hand, he wanted to chase his brothers and apprentices. Now that the road was blocked, one can imagine how frantic his mood was.

Liu Bowen walked with his soldiers and horses for more than ten miles, and in a blink of an eye there was another winding mountain road. Yangzhou is vast and sparsely populated, and most of the population gathers in Lujiang, Jiujiang, Wujun, and Danyang, while Yuzhang and Kuaiji are mountainous and sparsely populated.In a blink of an eye there was another mountain, and Liu Bowen had another idea in a blink of an eye, and stretched out his hand to stop the march.

"What's wrong with the military adviser? The pursuers will catch up soon!" Pei Jun asked in confusion when he saw Liu Bowen stop advancing.

"Don't worry, Sun Jian was hit by dozens of arrows earlier, I'm afraid he won't survive. Cheng Pu brought him back, and Huang Gai, who chased us, brought only a hundred people. It's nothing to worry about. Just look at the winding mountain road ahead. , we bent our bows and set arrows at the turning point ahead, Huang Gai wanted to smash us to pieces, he would come galloping, and if we ambush him, he would be caught off guard!" Liu Bowen said, pointing to the mountain road ahead.

Pei Jun looked intently, and saw a big bend in the mountain road ahead, which was originally straight, but suddenly turned right.In this way, I can't see the situation at the next intersection clearly. Thinking of this, Pei Jun smiled and said: "What the military adviser said is right, let's quickly set up an ambush somewhere, wait for Huang Gai to be repelled, and when he returns to Yichun, invite the pursuers , we are afraid that we have a few hours to leave!"

"All the soldiers follow me to set up an ambush at the next intersection!" Liu Bowen shouted loudly and rushed forward with three hundred soldiers, laying an ambush around the corner.

But Huang Gai led the troops to arrive immediately, he was very manic at the moment, he only wanted to avenge Sun Jian, if he ran desperately, why did the cavalry pry?When they came to the intersection, they suddenly turned a corner and bumped into the three hundred cavalry led by Liu Bowen.Not to mention a burst of arrows, Huang Gai was so frightened that he shuddered and quickly used double whips to parry, avoiding fatal injuries such as the head, but he was hit by several arrows, and many cavalrymen who came behind were also killed or injured.

After a shower of arrows, Pei Jun rushed over with three hundred cavalry. Huang Gai was about to avenge Sun Jian, so he picked Pei Jun to fight. Huang Gai was timid and looked at the hundred cavalry who followed, most of them were shot and killed by arrows. , Now three hundred cavalry swarmed up, and there were almost casualties.

Seeing that the thieves' army was too strong to hold back, and Huang Gai was injured again, he fled in a hurry, planning to go back to Yichun to rescue the soldiers.

…………

"Military doctor! Where is the military doctor!"

On the other hand, Cheng Pu rushed back to Yichun with Sun Jian's body. At this moment, Yichun had been captured by Sun Jun. Cheng Pu took Sun Jian back to the camp to find a military doctor to treat Sun Jian's injuries.A group of generals also surrounded the barracks, seeing Sun Jian who was covered in arrows on the bed, broke out in a cold sweat.

"My lord, what's the matter, how could you be seriously injured?"

"My lord? My lord!"

Sun Jian was unconscious on the bed. Many people knew that Sun Jian might have lost his soul, but no one dared to check Sun Jian's breathing.

"My lord took us to pursue Liu Bowen. I didn't want to be caught in an ambush halfway. My lord took the lead and got shot with arrows. If I knew I would have opened my way!" Cheng Pu said with a sad face.

After hearing this, Xiao Moke knelt down in front of Sun Jian's bed, crying loudly: "Master, I am the one who harmed you, I am the one who harmed you."

At this time, the military doctor was also late, and everyone quickly moved out of the way. The military doctor came to see Sun Jian covered in arrow wounds, but his scalp felt numb. He knew that Sun Jian had already passed away, but he sounded his pulse in a decent manner. , After a long while, he cried loudly: "Master, why did you leave?"

The generals finally couldn't hold on, and knelt down before Sun Jian collapsed and wailed loudly.

At this time, Huang Gai, who was in a state of distress, also returned to Yichun, and saw the crowd crying inside the camp gate. How could he not know that Sun Jian had fallen?He also knelt down outside the tent and howled loudly.

"General Huang is back? Where is the thief? Where is the thief who killed my lord? I will tear him into pieces!" Seeing Huang Gai's return, a general excitedly grabbed Huang Gai's shoulders and asked eagerly.

All the generals came out of the tent one after another to execute the murderer who killed Sun Jian.

"I'm incompetent, I failed to catch the thieves and let them run away!" Huang Gai was even more guilty when he said this, crying with snot and tears.

"Hateful, the lord was murdered, and the leader of the thief is still at large. All the soldiers followed me to catch the thief!" Xiao Moke was furious, and called on all the generals to arrest Liu Bowen.

All the soldiers were filled with righteous indignation and wanted to go with Xiao Moke.

"Stop, Xiao Moke, don't be impulsive, the lord is newly mourned, and our foothold in Yangzhou is not stable, are you going to make it known to everyone? Are you going to ruin the lord's unfinished business?" Cheng Pu hurriedly called out to Xiao Moke.

Only then did Xiao Moke realize that Sun Jian had just died, and now they are in Yuzhang, Yuzhang, and Kuaiji have not yet been completely pacified.But in other places, once the news of Sun Jian's death spread, there would definitely be wars.

Xiao Moke clenched his fists and cupped his hands and said: "I was impulsive. General Cheng Pu is an old minister who follows the lord. Please ask the general to be the master temporarily and command me to wait!"

Cheng Pu nodded and said, "Let's talk in secret! Tell the soldiers to guard the tent and not come near it!"

After all the generals entered the camp, Cheng Pu said: "The most urgent task at the moment is to stabilize the morale of the army. The Lord's body will be placed in the camp for the time being, and the matter of the Lord's death will not be disclosed for the time being. Secondly, the major general is over [-] years old. , very brave, with the spirit of a master, we should quickly invite the major general to come here to preside over the overall situation."

"Then what about the thief who killed the lord? Don't you care?" the general said angrily.

"They only had 300 people, but the cavalry was very active. According to Liu Yao, they were going to vote for the emperor. If they wanted to reach the emperor's rule, there were only two roads. One was to go west through Jingzhou to Nanyang, and another One is through the Lujiang River, from Yuzhou to Nanyang. Tell me, which way did they go?" Cheng Pu asked loudly.

After listening to Cheng Pu's analysis, everyone already had a result in their minds. Huang Gai said: "The Major General Lujiang is not stationed there, and he has to pass through Yuzhou. Not to mention the long distance, it is not safe. They will definitely go from Jingzhou to Nanyang. !"

"Then it's easy to handle. I'll send people to seal off the western checkpoint and mobilize troops to wait in the west!"

The generals deliberated and decided that Huang Gai would go north to Lujiang to tell Sun Ce about Sun Jian's death in battle, and asked Sun Ce to go south to take charge of the overall situation.Han Dang and Xiao Moke led [-] troops to the west, guarding various checkpoints and arresting Liu Bowen and his party.Let Han Dang stabilize the morale of the army in Yichun and guard Sun Jian's body.

The day passed in a blink of an eye, and now Liu Bowen and his party had arrived a hundred miles north of Yichun.

In a mountain forest, it was pitch black. Liu Bowen led three hundred soldiers to hide here again. The horses were tied to the trees, and the soldiers leaned against the trees to sleep.Liu Bowen and Pei Jun leaned against a big tree, and Pei Jun asked: "Master, let's kill Sun Jian. Although Huang Gai was forced to retreat, the pursuers will arrive soon. What should we do now?"

Liu Bowen said in a deep voice, "Let's take the mountain road to the north to Lujiang!"

"Why go to Lujiang? Not to Jingzhou?" Pei Jun was shocked.

"If you don't go to Jingzhou, you can think of it, and others can think of it. I'm afraid there are a lot of soldiers and horses chasing and intercepting the west. We have to do the opposite. Everyone thinks that we are going to Nanyang from Jingzhou, and we will go through Lujiang. !Traveling all the way through mountains and rivers will not reveal their whereabouts, and the melons, fruits, birds and animals in the mountains are enough to satisfy their hunger!" Liu Bowen replied.

"But what's the use of going to Lujiang? It's still Sun Jian's territory, and it's even more troublesome to go through Zhao Kuangyin's territory to go to the emperor's command!"

The corner of Liu Bowen's mouth twitched: "It's easy to go to Lujiang. I bought a family property in Lujiang, and then I can pretend to be a businessman and go to Nanyang!"

"Military Master, you are really clever, and you have already left behind! If that's the case, let's go to Lujiang from the mountain road!" Pei Jun said happily.

"Those war horses are no longer useful. A few horses are left for transportation, and the rest are released, so as not to reveal our whereabouts!" Liu Bowen urged.

As soon as it was light the next day, Liu Bowen took his soldiers and headed north from the mountain road. He was not afraid of getting lost. Liu Bowen had already sent someone to draw a map.The war horses were also lost, and the hoofs of the remaining war horses were all tied with cloth to avoid leaving footprints, and soldiers behind them destroyed the marching footprints to hide their tracks.

But Han Dang and Xiao Moke searched all the checkpoints in the west and couldn't find Liu Bowen's trace. After a few days, they expanded the search area and found Liu Bowen's discarded war horse.In the deep mountains and old forests, the signs of Liu Bowen's march have long been destroyed by wild beasts, but where can they be found?
Sun Ce in Jiujiang also received a letter from Huang Gai, and went south to take charge of the overall situation, leaving Zhou Yu to guard Shouchun.

A few days later, Liu Bowen walked out of the forest with [-] soldiers and arrived at the junction of Yuzhang and Lujiang.Although he was embarrassed and encountered many ferocious beasts along the way, fortunately he was protected by Pei Jun. Danyang soldiers were fierce men who walked out of the mountains and forests, so they were all unscathed.

The junction of Yuzhang and Lujiang River is Pengze Lake, which connects to the Yangtze River, which means that Liu Bowen has to cross the Yangtze River to reach Lujiang River.Fortunately, Liu Bowen had already made preparations and ordered people to prepare the boat at one place, and a group of people crossed the Yangtze River to Lujiang Wan County.
