Xu Huang led the remaining 1,000 cavalry to break through Huang Zhong's blockade and fled north along the official road. Huang Zhong led his men to chase him for two or three miles, and then stopped.

The cavalry governor asked strangely: "Captain, the bandits have been defeated, why not take advantage of the victory to pursue them and kill them without leaving any armor?"

"Don't chase the enemy," Huang Zhong was anxious to find Han Zhan's whereabouts, so he naturally had no interest in chasing Xu Huang, who was defeated and fleeing. He turned his horse's head and said to the cavalry commander: "Go back, we will continue to look for the whereabouts of the lord."

Huang Zhong led the cavalry back along the road. He had just approached the battle area and suddenly saw a cavalry rushing out from behind the hills and rushing towards his direction. Huang Zhong thought he was ambushed, and instinctively grabbed the big knife in his hand and wanted to wield the army to kill him. But when he saw clearly that the other party was only one, he hurriedly ordered a sergeant beside him: "Take people over and see who is coming!" After receiving the order, the sergeant rushed towards the cavalry with his subordinates.

The time was not long, and the commander came with the cavalry. He was still far away. He heard him shouting excitedly: "Captain, the lieutenant is the brother of the lord." When the commander said that it was the person around Han Zhan, Huang Zhong was overjoyed and quickly rode his horse to meet him.

The rider who came out from behind the hill was none other than the Qin team beside Han Zhan. He followed the sergeant to Huang Zhong, and did not dismount, but just held his fists on the horse's back and saluted: "See Captain Huang!"

"No gifts!" Huang Zhong waved his hand at him, and then asked anxiously: "Where is the lord now?"

The Qin team led his side to point to the hill in the distance and said, "If you go back to the lieutenant, the lord will be behind the hill." Hearing that Han Zhan was behind the hill, Huang Zhong personally led a hundred cavalry to follow the Qin team to lead the hill towards the hill.

Bypassing the hill, Huang Zhong was shocked when he saw the dead bodies of people and horses on the ground. Seeing this, Qin Guru quickly explained to him: "Captain, don't worry, this is the bandits sent a team of sergeants, and the lord led us to kill them all."

"Han Sheng!" When Han Zhan saw Huang Zhong bringing people to greet him, he hurriedly brought the remaining cavalry out of the woods and took the initiative to greet the other party: "Don't you be fine?"

"Lord!" Huang Zhong saw clearly the person who came out of the woods. It was indeed Han Zhan's eyes. He couldn't help but burst into tears. He came to Han Zhan's horse, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee and said, "I'm late to save my master, please forgive me!"

Seeing Huang Zhong kneeling in front of him and apologizing, Han Zhan quickly got off the horse, leaned over and helped the other party up, and advised with kind words: "The army was defeated by this miserable defeat because this marquis is too underestimating the enemy. Why did Han Sheng be punished? Get up quickly!"

Huang Zhong stood up and saw Han Zhan's clothes covered with blood. He couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Lord, why are there so much blood on your body? Isn't you injured?"

Han Zhan looked down and saw that there were indeed a lot of blood stains on his clothes. It should have been accidentally splashed on his body when he killed Xu Huang's subordinates. He smiled and said, "This is not the blood of this marquis, it should be the blood of those killed bandits."

"Lord, it's not advisable to stay here for a long time." Huang Zhong was worried that Xu Huang would come with new troops soon, so he urged Han Zhan: "We'd better leave this place as soon as possible."

After Han Zhan turned over to the horse, he asked Huang Zhong with some embarrassment: "Hansheng, I wonder if you have ever brought dry food on you?"

"Dry food?!" Huang Zhong was stunned when he heard Han Zhan's question, and then he realized that it must be Han Zhan and the others who had no food. He quickly ordered the soldiers who accompanied him to take out the dry food and hand it over to the cavalry who accompanied Han Zhan.

After joining with the cavalry brigade waiting on the official road, Han Zhan's heart was put in his stomach. He turned his head and asked Huang Zhong: "How many soldiers are left in your hands?"

After Huang Zhong stopped pursuing Xu Huang, he counted the number of people. When he heard Han Zhan’s question, he immediately replied: “Report to the lord, there are more than 1,400 cavalrymen.”

"There are only more than 1,400 cavalry left. This loss is really heavy." Han Zhan secretly murmured in his heart: "When you return to Jizhou, you must form a new cavalry immediately."

Xu Huang, defeated by Huang Zhong, fled about twenty miles northwards and met Yang Feng's troops. Yang Feng asked someone to call Xu Huang in front of him and asked, "Gongming, may he find the trace of the Han family's children?"

"Report to the lord!" Xu Huang said in shame: "The general chased after him all the way to Arc destiny, and never saw the trace of the Han family's children. On the way back, he was attacked by the Han family's cavalry. The general was unable to support him and could only lead his troops to break out."

The troops led by Li and Guo were five or six miles behind Yang Feng's troops. Seeing that the front suddenly stopped, Li sent Li Be to find out what was going on ahead. When he saw Yang Feng and a general with blood armor talked in front of the team, he went over and asked directly: "What happened?"

Although Li Bie asked casually, Yang Feng respectfully sent Xu Huang to chase Han Zhan, but he had not found anyone for several days. Unexpectedly, on the way back, he encountered the Han family cavalry. Xu Huang is now defeated and defeated.

After Li Bei asked Xu Huang a few more questions, he ordered Yang Feng to stand by on the spot and run back to reply to Li. When Li heard that Yang Feng's subordinates were defeated, he was immediately angry and wanted to order the entire army to advance and intercept Huang Zhong and others.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, someone reported to him: "Report to General Zhang Ji of Chang'an, General Zhang Ji has sent a messenger!"

Li Qiang suppressed his anger and ordered: "Bring the messenger here."

In a moment, the follower came to Li with an extremely tired cavalry. The messenger turned over and got off the horse, knelt on one knee, took out the letter from his arms, held it in both hands, and handed it to Li. A follower next to Li Chao gave a wink, and the man immediately stepped forward to take the letter from the messenger's hand, and handed it to Li respectfully.

Li Zhan opened the letter, looked at it for a few seconds, and was immediately shocked. Guo Si, who was beside him, saw it, and quickly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Zhiran, what happened?"

"There is a big deal in Chang'an." Li sent the letter in his hand to Guo Si and hurriedly ordered: "The rear army will change to the front army, and the front army will change to the rear army, and return to Chang'an immediately!"

After reading the letter, Guo Si couldn't help frowning. However, he was not as reckless as Li. He thought of Yang Feng and his party who were still waiting in front of him, so he quickly sent someone to inform them to return to Chang'an together.

Jia Xu didn't know what letter the messenger brought. After reading it, Li actually wanted to train immediately. He hurried to Li and asked respectfully: "General Zhiran, I don't know what happened to Chang'an, why are you in a hurry to train?"

"Mr. Jia, please read this letter." Guo Si came over and handed the letter in his hand to Jia Xu, and said to him: "After reading this letter, he naturally understood why he was going to be a teacher."

Jia Xu took the letter and saw it read: "...A man led someone to look for the body of the Grand Master. There were only some fragmented skin and bones. The famous man formed a sculpting with incense and wood carvings, and set up a large sacrifice, using the king's clothes, crowns, coffins, and chose auspicious days to move to the burial dock. At the time of burial, a huge thunderstorm fell from the sky, and the water depth of the ground was several feet. Thunderbolt opened the coffin, and the body was raised outside the coffin. A certain time was sunny and chose the day to bury it again, and the same was true at that night..."

After reading the letter, Jia Xu finally understood what was going on. It turned out that it was Zhang Ji, Fan Chou and others who found Dong Zhuo's fragments and buried them in the dock. As a result, on the day of burial, lightning and lightning rushed out of the tomb, and the lightning shocked the coffin. Zhang and Fan chose a date to bury again, and the situation was still the same. No wonder Li looked so panicked after seeing the letter.

After figuring out what happened, Jia Xu quickly grabbed Li's reincarnation and persuaded: "General Zhiran, things have come to this point, and even if you rush back, it will be useless. Why not stay here and get rid of the Han children and return to Chang'an."

Since Li learned that Dong Zhuo's body could not be buried, he was in a state of carnival. When he heard Jia Xu persuade him like this, he pulled out his sword and slashed towards Jia Xu without saying a word. Fortunately, Jia Xu saw that the situation was not good, he immediately let go of the reins of the horse and raised his body back, otherwise Li would have been hit by him.

When Li saw that the sword failed to hit and took back the sword and was about to cut it again, Guo Si grabbed his arm. Guo Si still winked at Jia Xu desperately and signaled him to leave quickly.

Seeing that Li could not stop him from working at this time, Jia Xu turned his head and left Li Guo and the others far away. He stood by the roadside and looked south, and secretly sighed in his heart: "Let the tiger return to the mountain to stay for the future. If the Han family's children do not die today, they will become a confidant in the future."

…………

When Huang Zhong escorted Han Zhan toward the Yellow River, he was afraid of encountering Li Guo's troops, so he sent a team of horses to explore the way forward. Even if there was a situation, he could come up with a solution in time.

When the first group of explorers came to report that there were tens of thousands of soldiers blocking the road ahead, Huang Zhong couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. He turned his head and looked at Han Zhan and asked, "Lord, there are tens of thousands of bandits in front and there are arcade blocking behind him. What should we do next?"

When Han Zhan learned that there were soldiers and horses in front of him blocking the road, he couldn't help but complain, thinking that my life was so miserable. He just escaped from Xu Huang's hands, and before he could laugh, tens of thousands of soldiers appeared in front of him. With more than a thousand cavalry under Huang Zhong, it was harder to break through the opponent's interception and rush to the Yellow River than climbing to the sky.

But he knew very well that if he was panicked at this moment, it would lead to a low morale and a low morale. If he fought against the enemy, he would definitely lose. Therefore, he pretended to be calm and said to Huang Zhong: "Although there are tens of thousands of bandits ahead, this marquis judged that they would not be able to understand our background, and they might soon withdraw our troops. Han Sheng, send someone to talk."

Although Huang Zhong felt that Han Zhan’s words were a bit ridiculous, since the lord had already spoken, he had to listen as a minister, so he sent a team of horses to continue to inquire about the situation ahead.

After the new horse explorer was sent, Han Zhan ordered the soldiers to stop and rest for a while. The purpose of his doing this was to restore the soldiers' physical strength, so that they would have the strength to compete with the enemy if they really fought later. Although Han Zhan tried hard to keep calm, there were still soldiers nearby who found something wrong and began to talk in a low voice.

When Huang Zhong heard the soldiers talking, he was afraid that they would affect the morale of the army, so he prepared to go over and stop them. However, Han Zhan stopped him: "Han Sheng, let them say it. If you go over and stop them now, it will only backfire."

Although Han Zhan pretended to be careless on the surface, his heart was like fifteen buckets of water. He was afraid that the second group of horses sent by Huang Zhong would still bring bad news when he returned. He silently prayed in his heart: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you! If this marquis can return to Jizhou safely this time, he will definitely build a big temple for you and then shape a golden body!"

I didn't pay attention when I prayed, but after he finished praying, I remembered that in this era, Buddhism was not as popular as later generations, especially Guanyin Bodhisattva, who should still be the image of a man at this moment. If I want to shape him a golden body, should I shape a man or a woman?

While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horse hooves coming from the north. Han Zhan looked in the voice and saw five or six cavalrymen running along the official road. He recognized at a glance that this was really the second group of horses sent by Huang Zhong. Seeing that the time to determine his destiny was coming, Han Zhan's heartbeat unconsciously accelerated.

The cavalry led the team rushed to Han Zhan and Huang Zhong, stopped the war horses, and reported with excitement: "Report to the lord, the troops blocking the road ahead are no longer there."

"What, the soldiers blocking the road are not where they are going?" Han Zhan couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise when he heard the horse probing the horse say, and asked, "Where have they gone?"

The explorer then replied: "The little one chased after him for a while, and saw about 40,000 to 50,000 troops from afar, heading west along the official road."

"Looking west?" Huang Zhong repeated the words of the horse and said strangely: "They suddenly withdrew. Is there any conspiracy?"

Han Zhan thought to himself: Li and Guo retreated their troops. Something must have happened in Chang'an that they could not wait to return. But what happened? He remembered that after Li and Guo occupied Chang'an, Ma Teng and Han Sui once raised troops to serve the king, but later he had to withdraw his troops because of lack of food and grass. Could it be that Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops approached Chang'an, Li and Guo had to withdraw their troops?

To be on the safe side, Han Zhan ordered Huang Zhong to send a team of horses to inquire about the news ahead. However, everyone knew in their hearts that the horses sent this time were to confirm whether Li Guo's troops had really been withdrawn.

When the newly sent explorer came back and reported to Han Zhan with a positive tone, saying that the troops blocking the road ahead had already disappeared, Han Zhan's heart, which was hanging in his throat, fell into his stomach again. He quickly ordered Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, send someone to the town to pick up Rob, and we will find a place to cross the river immediately."

"Lord!" Huang Zhong asked Han Zhan for advice after he finished speaking, "There is a woman in the inn, the madam from Huanuan Pavilion in Sheguo County. She saved Luo Bu's life. I wonder how she should place her?"
