Chapter 1030 The Death of Emperor Gaozu of Tang (Part 1)


    Chapter 1028: The Death of Emperor Gaozu of Tang (Part 1)


    Hu Sanniang had never seen Zhang Liao show such an anxious expression. She felt that something must be wrong here, so she asked, "What the **** is wrong?"


    "It''s too late, I''m explaining to you on the way."


    As he said that, Zhang Liao ignored Hu Sanniang''s wishes and pulled her to run towards his respective war horses.


    Hu Sanniang''s wrists were so painful that Zhang Liao held them. She wanted to break free but found that she couldn''t break free at all, so she just let Zhang Liao hold them like this, and turned around and shouted at Mulan: "Mulan, the army will ask you."


    Mulan showed an aunt-like smile and said softly: "Don''t worry, leave it to me."


    Since leaving the army, Zhang Liao and Hu Sanniang have followed the route of Arthur and others, but Zhang Liao seemed to be thinking about something, and he looked worried and never paid attention to Hu Sanniang.


    Finally, Hu Sanniang couldn''t help it and asked loudly, "Wenyuan, what are you going to do to pull it out? Now you can always tell me the reason, right?"


    When Zhang Liao, who was riding a horse, sighed and asked, "Sanniang, do you really think that Li Yuan, who has less than a hundred remaining soldiers, can escape under the siege of my 10,000 army?"


    "Forehead?"


    Hu Sanniang was stunned when she heard this. She didn''t think much about it, but after Zhang Liao reminded her, she also felt that something was strange about it.


    You should know that whether it is the Jin army or the Qin army, the policies of "the army does not interfere in politics, and the government does not obey the army", "the military leads the army, and the literati governs", and it is undoubtedly very difficult for generals to take charge of military and political power at the same time.


    There are only four people who are in the position of prefect as military generals, namely: Xiangyang prefect Yue Fei, Taiyuan prefect Qin Jian, Yinshan prefect Yang Ye, and Nanxiang prefect Zhang Liao.


    Zhang Liao was able to squeeze out so many outstanding generals and finally took the position of Nanxiang Prefect, which shows that his own ability is very strong. So how could he let Li Yuan''s nearly 100 remaining soldiers run away with him while his encirclement has been shrinking?


    Hu Sanniang was not stupid either. She quickly guessed the key and asked in disbelief: "Did you let Li Yuan go on purpose?"


    Zhang Liao nodded seriously: "That''s right..."


    Before Zhang Liao finished speaking, Hu Sanniang said coldly: "So, the reason why you pulled me out together is to bring me with you to escape with you for fear of guilt?"


    Zhang Liao almost fell off the horse''s back when he heard this.


    Seeing that Hu Sanniang not only misunderstood her meaning, but also tended to draw her swords, Zhang Liao quickly smiled bitterly and explained, "Sanniang, why do you think so? I, Zhang Wenyuan, are you like this in your heart? I deliberately let Li Yuan go after receiving the secret order from my lord."


    "What?"


    Hu Sanniang was stunned when she heard this and asked quickly, "Why did the lord give such an order?"


    "The lord is considering the overall situation. Do you know what happened in Sizhou?"


    Hu Sanniang shook her head confusedly. She was in Nanxiang but she didn''t know about Sizhou. Zhang Liao immediately explained in detail when he saw this, but Hu Sanniang felt deafening after hearing this.


    "Oh my God, Dong Zhuo was actually dead. The lord was trying not to let Yang Jian make a profit, so that you could deliberately let Li Yuan go so that the Liang army would have civil strife."


    At this point, Hu Sanniang''s face became a little ugly, and she asked anxiously: "If Liya and the others really kill Li Yuan, wouldn''t that destroy the lord''s plan?"


    “That’s right.”


    Zhang Liao nodded seriously and said in a deep voice: "This is a great opportunity to weaken the Liang army, but once Li Yuan dies, no one can stop Yang Jian. If the Liang army does not have civil strife, it will join forces with the Biannan Alliance to stop our army from occupying all of Sizhou." "How did it become like this?"


    Hu Sanniang said with a little collapse. She never expected that Li Yuan, who was like a stray dog, would have such an important role.


    "That''s why I pulled you to chase you."


    Zhang Liao''s eyes were full of solemn expressions, and he said in a deep voice: "I hope it''s still time!"


    ———


    At the junction of Nanxiang and Hanzhong, Li Yuan was running alone in a panic, and Arthur was chasing behind him.


    After Li Yuan escaped from the encirclement, he wanted to escape to Wuguan, but found signs of marching on the road, so he decisively turned around and fled towards Hanzhong, but he did not expect to be caught up in the end.


    Although there were only five pursuers, the female master of the alien race was there. Naturally, Li Yuan did not dare to turn back to the battle and could only ride a horse and run away.


    But as Li Yuan fled, he found that the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. It was obvious that the other party was faster than theirs, and if this continued, they would be caught up sooner or later.


    So Li Yuan decisively ordered a military Sima to lead all the remaining troops to delay time, while he continued to flee under the protection of the only three remaining captains.


    The Sima of the Army was Li Yuan''s confidant and was extremely loyal to Li Yuan. He led eighty or ninety cavalry and completely blocked the road. If Arthur and others wanted to continue pursuing, they had to completely solve these people first, but after the solution, Li Yuan didn''t know where to go.


    "Liya, your mount is the fastest, so you should chase it first. Let''s leave these defeated generals to four of us." Liang Hongyu said seriously.


    Arthur naturally knew the priorities, so he did not refuse, but just said, "Be careful."


    With the strength of the Grand Master Arthur, the defeated soldiers would definitely not be able to stop them, and Liang Hongyu, Dong Yue''e, Yang Paifeng and Yang Jiumei stayed to deal with less than one hundred cavalry.


    No, it should be a one-sided massacre!


    Li Yuan, who had just run far, saw the strongest Arthur chasing him again, and immediately shot arrows with three other captains, trying to shoot Arthur, the enemy, to death.


    [Dingdong, Li Yuan’s skill “Arrow General” launches force +2, basic force 88, and current force has risen to 90. 】


    When Li Yuan in the original history went to Taiyuan to be an official, Yuwen Shu in the court was worried that he would change in the future, so she sent elite soldiers from the palace to disguise themselves as robbers to rob and kill. It was Li Yuan who relied on his archery skills to resist the interception, and Li Yuan also shot Shan Xiongxin''s elder brother Shan Xiongzhong, which shows that Li Yuan''s archery skills would be very powerful.


    Every arrow from Li Yuan aimed at Arthur''s key points. Once shot by him, he would definitely be seriously injured even if he didn''t die. However, Arthur controlled the "Wind King" to avoid it while blocking it with a sword. Not only did the speed not decrease at all, but it was getting faster and faster.


    Seeing this, one of the captains could not help but flash a trace of determination in their eyes and said in a deep voice: "Duke Tang, I will ask you when I was young."


    After saying that, the lieutenant immediately returned. Seeing this, the other two lieutenants looked at each other and turned back. Even though they knew they would die this time, they would have to sacrifice their lives to delay Li Yuan''s escape.
