Chapter 289 Homecoming (Part 2)

"Damn, who did this?" The cavalry military marquis stared at the corpse of his subordinates and asked his nearby subordinates angrily.

One of the soldiers who arrived here first heard the Junhou say this and hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Qi Bian Junhou, I can see clearly that it was the Baibo soldiers who did it. After they killed our brothers, they immediately turned around and fled back when they saw that we had appeared. They must have hid in the military camp at this moment."

The Junhou looked at the Baibo Bing Army camp in the distance, and bit his back teeth and ordered: "Leave half of the people here, continue to search for the murderer, and the remaining people come back to the camp with me. I want to report this matter to the lord immediately."

Han Zhan, who was sleeping soundly, woke up from his sleep by Chen Dao, rubbed his eyes and asked impatiently: "Uncle Zhi, it's not cold yet, why did you wake me up at this time? Did something happen?"

"Return to the lord's words," Chen Dao quickly replied, "A soldier who was watching the night was killed."

"What, our soldiers were killed." When Han Zhan heard the news, he suddenly sat up from the bed and asked nervously: "Do you know who did it?"

"According to a nearby sentry, it was done by Bai Bo's soldiers."

Hearing that it was Bai Bo's soldiers who killed his subordinates, Han Zhan felt that he could not bear it anymore, otherwise Han Xian, Li Le, Hu Cai and others would feel that they were weak and could be bullied. He quickly ordered Chen Dao: "Shuzhi, come here immediately. I have something to discuss with him!"

When Huang Zhong rushed over, Han Zhan had already put on his clothes and sat in the tent waiting. When he saw Huang Zhong coming in, Han Zhan did not go around in circles, but asked directly: "Han Sheng, if we want to attack Bai Bo's camp, what chance of winning are there?"

Huang Zhong did not expect Han Zhan to ask this question. After a moment of silence, he replied: "Lord, if Bai Bo soldiers set up camp in the plains, I will lead 5,000 cavalry into the camp, and at least 60% of them can be defeated. But now their camps are all in the city, and the cavalry cannot rush up at all. If you want to defeat them, you will have less than 20% chance of winning."

"Two percent means 20 percent." In order not to let his subordinate die, Han Zhan decided to take a risk, so he ordered Huang Zhong, "Immediately gather our troops and follow this marquis to find Han Xian, and Li Le and the others for justice."

"Master, don't be rash." Huang Zhong said abnormally when he heard Han Zhan's order: "Now, Baibo soldiers are nearly ten times more than us, and the terrain in the city is not suitable for cavalry sprinting. It is not an easy task for Li Le and the others to solve Han Xian. The lord should still make a long-term plan."

"Follow the long-term plan, let's go!" Han Zhan said angrily: "We are accommodating and giving in to Han Xian, Li Le and others, but they think we are weak and can be bullied, and even send people to kill my subordinates. It's unbearable. This marquis must lead his troops to wipe them out."

"Lord, no!" Seeing Han Zhan's willful move, Huang Zhong quickly persuaded again: "If there are no 50,000 people from Chang'an behind us, but if Han Xian and Li Le and others are destroyed, the generals will not even frown. But once the Bai Bo soldiers become rioters, the innocent people will be suffering at that time."

When Han Zhan was silent after hearing Huang Zhong say this, he thought to himself that if it weren't for the 50,000 unarmed people, his troops would have defeated Han Xian and Li Le's soldiers outside Han Gu Pass, and there would be no need to wait until now. But if he swallowed his anger, he would be regarded as weak and bullied by Han Xian, Li Le and others, and would be even more aggressive in the future.

Just when he was in a dilemma, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came from outside the tent, followed by the tent's custodials' custodials. But Han Zhan quickly heard clearly that the person coming was his own escort Chen Dao. After Chen Dao walked into the tent, he looked at the other party and asked, "Uncle Zhi, what's the matter that makes you so excited?"

"Report to the lord." Chen Dao said happily: "Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang, two lieutenants, sent people to contact us, and his troops were stationed twenty miles away."

"What, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang's soldiers are here?" After hearing Chen Dao's report, Han Zhan was filled with joy and asked quickly: "How many people do they have?"

Han Zhan's question stopped Chen Dao. He raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and replied embarrassedly: "Reply to the lord's words, I was too anxious just now and forgot to ask."

"Since I forgot to ask, why don't you invite the envoy to come and ask me to ask him personally."

Not long after, Chen Dao took a small school into the tent. After the ceremony, Han Zhan asked the small school: "I wonder how many soldiers and horses are there under Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang?"

"Report to the lord," the junior school replied respectfully: "The two lieutenants have a total of 18,000 soldiers."

"Ten hundred thousand people!" When Han Zhan heard this number, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He turned his head and looked at Huang Zhong, and then asked, "Why are there so many people under the two Captain Lu?"

"Return to the lord's words," the junior school replied, "The two lords Lu had only 10,000 powerful crossbowmen and 5,000 infantrymen under the command of Xun Changshi to cooperate with the lord to seize Chang'an. Halfway through, they met the 3,000 infantrymen who were escorting food and grass led by the army Sima Jiangfan, so the total force reached 18,000."

After determining the number of people, Han Zhan nodded and said to Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, if we join the Erlu, the total force will be more than 20,000. There is no problem in dealing with 40,000 to 50,000 Baibo soldiers."

"Lord, since that's the case, then without further ado, we should immediately order two Captain Lu to lead the troops here to meet us." Huang Zhong learned that he had added 18,000 more troops, and his confidence in speaking was very high: "At that time, we can find Han Xian, Li Le and others to question the crime and ask them to hand over the murderer."

Just as Han Zhan and Huang Zhong were discussing how to deal with Bai Bo's soldiers, Li Le also received rewards from his subordinates. When they learned that they had sneaked into the opposite military camp, they were spotted by the night-watch sentry. Moreover, the two sides fought fiercely, and ten Jizhou soldiers were killed by their own people.

For Li Le, it was simply a trivial matter to die of more than ten people. What made him regret was that his people failed to successfully sneak into Han Zhan's military camp and figure out what wealth there were on the tens of thousands of fat sheep. After he waved his hand to retreat to the Seventeenth soldiers, he ordered Han Xian to ask his tent to discuss matters.

After a long time, Han Xian, who had not yet fully woken up, came to Li Le's tent with sleepy eyes and asked angrily: "Brother, you called me here in the middle of the night. Is there anything wrong?"

"My brother, you still have the heart to sleep. The disaster has come, the disaster has come." Li Le pretended to be panic: "Maybe it will bring disaster to our three brothers."

"What, it brings a murder?" Li Le's mysterious words immediately scared Han Xian to wake up. He asked nervously: "I wonder what happened?"

"Damn, who did this?" The cavalry military marquis stared at the corpse of his subordinates and asked his nearby subordinates angrily.

One of the soldiers who arrived here first heard the Junhou say this and hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Qi Bian Junhou, I can see clearly that it was the Baibo soldiers who did it.
