Chapter 1916: End of Blessings
How could Lu Bu let Cheng Yuehu rescue Xue Kui in front of him? After the blow, he immediately rushed towards Cheng Yuehu, only to find that several feather arrows were shot at him, so he had to stop and block with a halberd. arrows.
"who?"
Lu Bu turned his head and found Huo Guang and other civil servants drawing their bows and aiming at him.
After seeing this scene, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed angrily.
"A few literati dared to shoot arrows at me and seek death."
Seeing the opponent firing an arrow again, Lu Bu did not hide or dodge. He raised his hand to catch an arrow and caught it, then threw it back violently.
call out……
Huo Guang and others' eyes widened and they had no time to react. Then they saw that Liang Qiuhe was hit by an arrow in the forehead and died.
Liang Qiuhe, one of the eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion, Taizhong doctor, Gishizhong, and Shaofu, died just like that under a casual arrow from Lu Bu;
Lu Bu caught the arrow with his bare hands, and used his arm as a bow and his palm as a string. Huo Guang and others were so frightened that they even forgot to shoot arrows.
Seeing this, Lu Bu smiled contemptuously, thinking that the scholar just smiled lightly, but when he turned his head, he saw a scene that stunned him.
I don’t know when, dozens of large warships came to the sea. The style of the warships was obviously not that of the Qin army, but they appeared outside this unknown island at this time. What was the purpose of this?
Huo Guang was overjoyed when he saw this and shouted: "Reinforcements are coming, everyone spread out and run to the beach."
Previously, Huo Guang and others had a death wish and gathered together to fight Lu Bu, but they were easily defeated in one fell swoop.
Now that there was hope for survival, the officials of the Northern Han Dynasty no longer continued to fight to the death. Instead, they formed groups of three and two and ran separately towards the beach. Even Lu Bu could not annihilate them all.
Cheng Yuehu turned his back on Xue Kui and went with Xue Gang.
"Want to run, dream."
Seeing this, Lu Bu was furious and immediately ordered his soldiers to chase him. At the same time, he took his dragon tongue bow, raised his hand and shot an arrow, hitting Du Yannian in the throat.
Another hero of Qilin Pavilion, Du Yannian, died under Lu Bu's arrow, but Huo Guang and others could not take care of him and could only run for their lives.
Lu Bu saw that Huo Guang, Xue Gang and other ten people were left, but they scattered into five or six groups fleeing for their lives. He decisively decided to chase Xue Kui, who posed the greatest threat to him.
Originally Lu Bu admired Xue Kui, but as the war progressed, he killed Xue Yong, Xue Jiao, Bai Wenbao, Qin Wen, Luo Chang, Wang Zongli, etc. His hatred for the Xue family was so deep that it reached the point of immortality. It's so endless.
With Lu Bu's strength, he is not afraid of the revenge of Xue Gang and his son, but he also has a large family, including his daughter Lu Lingqi and his son Lu Yu. If Xue Gang and his son take their anger out on their children, there will be endless troubles.
In order not to leave any further trouble, anyone can let Lu Bu go, but Xue Gang and his son must die.
While Lu Bu was chasing Xue Kui, Xue Rengui and Huo Qubing, who had arrived late, also joined the pursuit.
Huo Qubing caught up and killed Bing Ji, one of the heroes of Qilin Pavilion, and Yuchi Jing, one of the Five Tigers and One Tai Sui, while Xue Rengui shot and killed Qin Hong, one of the Five Tigers and One Tai Sui.
It is worth mentioning that in order to protect the seriously injured Xue Kui, Cheng Yuehu was hit by two arrows while escaping. As soon as he reached the beach, he was pierced by an arrow from Lu Bu and died tragically on the spot.
Poor Cheng Yuehu's 'lucky general' skill brought good luck to his comrades and saved them from danger, but perhaps he had too much luck, and as a result, his own luck was exhausted, and he failed to escape this disaster. .
At this point, only Sanwen and Sanwu were left alive among the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty who had escaped from Yanjing.
Three texts: Huo Guang, Zhang Tang, Xu Meizu.
Among the eleven heroes of Qilin Pavilion, only Huo Guang is left.
Three Wus: Xue Gang, Xue Kui, Feng Qianlang.
Among the five tigers, only Xue Gang is left.
Cheng Yuehu, Xue Jiao, Qin Hong, Yu Chijing, Luo Chang, Wang Zongli, Liang Qiuhe, Bingji, Du Yannian and other famous officials and generals all died tragically.
On the other side, Ji Luanying protected Wei Zifu, Liu Zhi, Liu Ling, two girls and one child. After taking the initiative to surrender Zhang Liang on the coast, she thought that her husband and son would definitely die this time, so she drew her sword and committed suicide in despair. Ye Qingmei Even if you want to stop it, you can't stop it in time.
Shortly after Ji Luanying's death, something that no one expected happened. A fleet suddenly appeared outside the island, and the number of warships reached thirty-eight.
"Tianjin Port did not issue a warning, which proves that this fleet did not pass through Tianjin Port, but entered the Youji Sea through the open sea..."
Seeing that Zhang Liang was still concentrating on his own analysis, Ye Qingmei hurriedly said: "Military advisor, don't analyze these things now. The opponent's origin is unknown, and he has thirty-eight warships, while we only have five. In case of an attack, If we get up, we will definitely not be opponents."
Zhang Liang remained calm and said: "Madam, don't be anxious, Liang already knows the identity of the other party."
"who?"
"Besides Qi and Wu, there is only one force left that can dispatch so many warships."
Ye Qingmei frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "The military advisor is talking about Wang Mang?"
"That's right."
Zhang Liang said firmly, now he finally understood why the Qi navy suddenly dispatched.
With only a dozen remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty, it was naturally impossible to recruit the Qi navy, but Wang Mang, who had cooperated with Zhu Tianpeng, could.
The cooperation between Wang Mang and Zhu Tianpeng was not pleasant. Zhu Tianpeng also thought about annexing Wang Mang, but failed. However, this did not prevent the two from cooperating again. After all, there are no permanent friends between countries, only eternal interests.
The navy of Qi State and Wang Mang acted together this time. Although it does not mean that the two families have formed an alliance, it is also a sign of joining forces to keep warm under the threat of the Qin army.
The reason why the navy of Qi State was mobilized in full force was probably to coordinate Wang Mang's navy and the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty. The reason why Huo Guang and others were hiding on this unknown island was not to wait for death, but to wait for Wang Mang to come. Rescue.
"Wang Mang is bringing the navy here now, is it to deal with the remnants of the Puppet Han? But isn't Wang Mang still doing arms purchase business with the Qin Army? Will he offend the Qin Army for the sake of a few Puppet Han remnants?" Ye Qingmei looked puzzled. asked.
"Now I have to ask Wang Mang."
A cold light flashed in Zhang Liang's eyes, and he immediately ordered: "Send the boat over to meet this Wang Mang."
When Zhang Liang's five warships sailed past, Xue Gang and the other six men had already boarded the ship. Lu Bu and the others also chased them to the shore, but they could only watch without doing anything.
Zhang Liang was not afraid of Wang Mang's large number of ships. He calmly asked the general to approach the warship and stood on the bow of the ship, facing Wang Mang across the boat.
"Is this Mr. Zhang Zifang here?" Wang Mang asked.
"Exactly."
After Zhang Liang answered, he asked: "Are you Mr. Wang Mang?"
Wang Mang made a strategic move and leaned back, smiling lightly and said: "Exactly."
Zhang Liang's expression suddenly changed, and he said in a cold voice: "Sir, with so many naval troops, he came to the Youji Sea without permission. Are you provoking our Qin army?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, Mang is just here to take my wife home, and has no intention of provocation. As for why he brought these troops..."
Wang Mang lowered his posture and said humbly, "It's just to protect myself."
