In the evening, it was completely dark.
Under the howling night, there was no starlight.
In a small, abandoned village, Shi Lezheng and his men found a house with a leaky roof and hid in it to rest.
After the red fire was lit, it warmed the body after running all day.
Almost within a day, Shi Le's face was filled with haggardness.
At this time, Cheng Xia hurriedly walked in from the outside, approached Shi Le with a panic look on his face, and spoke in a low voice.
"General, I just saw seven or eight people quietly escaping on horseback!"
After hearing this, Shi Le continued to stare at the crackling fire in front of him motionlessly, and did not respond immediately.
After a long time, Shi Le finally spoke.
"Those people must be Karasuma people, right?"
Cheng Xia was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Yes, they are all Karasuma people."
The composition of Shi Le's army was complicated. Apart from the Jiehu people who were his most trusted, the rest were mostly Wuhuan people and other miscellaneous people recruited from the Taihang area. The rest were Jin people like Cheng Xia and Zhang Bin.
"Now Qingzhou thief Liu Yu wants to use the "Kill Hu Order" to alienate our army. These weak-minded Karasuma people should just leave. In fact, it is better to leave, and it will save a lot of trouble."
Shi Le endured the pain on his face and whispered.
"However, since Zaoqiang, many Karasuma people have escaped along the way. Now that these seven or eight Karasuma people have escaped again, we only have less than a hundred people left." Cheng Xia said worriedly.
After Shi Le heard this, he patted Cheng Xia on the shoulder with an unusually cordial attitude.
"These Karasuma bandits are originally a ragtag group that gathers when it is advantageous and disperses when it is unprofitable. Now I have understood that the only people we can really rely on, besides the Jieren Xiang Party, are you people."
Hearing Shi Le's sudden attitude and words, Cheng Xia suddenly felt embarrassed.
Fortunately, Shi Le did not notice it due to the swaying firelight, but continued to speak.
"When we return to Xiangguo, I will immediately turn Liu's wife into a concubine and make Guang Ji my main wife!"
Shi Le's main wife was the Liu family from Bingzhou, and there were some miscellaneous influences in the family. Guang Ji was Cheng Xia's sister and gave birth to Shi Le's only son.
Cheng Ya burst into tears of gratitude when he saw this.
Shi Le and his party fled in a hurry. After Zao Qiang was attacked by Liu Ying and other rebel generals, many miscellaneous cavalrymen escaped midway, and a lot of dry food was also taken away by them.
Now, Shi Le and nearly a hundred people could only share a few dry biscuits.
After eating the Hu biscuits in a few mouthfuls, everyone leaned on each other and fell asleep around several bonfires.
Because the wound on Shi Le's face was in great pain, even though he was very tired, it was difficult to fall asleep. However, Shi Le had rich experience in escaping and knew that he must use this period of time to have a good rest, otherwise he would only be worse when he was on his way tomorrow day. of discomfort.
Shi Le forced himself to close his eyes and fall asleep, and finally fell asleep in the middle of the night.
At this time, Shi Le suddenly vaguely heard some rustling sounds. He quietly opened his eyes, but found nothing.
However, Cheng Xia, who was sitting next to him, disappeared.
Shi Le saw that several people were also missing, and he immediately became suspicious.
He stood up quietly, held the sharp knife against the wall, and tiptoed out.
After passing several sleeping people scattered on the ground, Shi Le came outside the house and heard vague voices.
He groped along the sound and got closer. Finally, behind a half-broken earth wall, he could clearly hear the voice on the other side of the earth wall.
"The few Jiehu men patrolling outside have been killed. Let's run away quickly!"
"Wait a minute."
"What are you waiting for?!"
As soon as Shi Le heard this voice, his heart immediately surged with anger, because there was Cheng Xia's voice, and the other voice was the voice of Xu Guang, another powerful Jin man who he relied on very much.
"Wouldn't it be a pity if he just ran away!?" Cheng Xia's deep voice sounded.
"What's the pity? Being able to kill the Jiehu on patrol is already very dangerous. If you don't hurry up and escape, do you really want to follow that Jienu and become a lost dog?"
Xu Guang's voice was full of impatience.
"It's just a matter of killing a few Jiehu on patrol. After Liu Yu's victory in Qingzhou, he will definitely occupy Hebei. It can be said that the situation is certain. Now we go to Liu Yu. What's the use of just bringing these few heads with us?"
Cheng Xia said quietly.
"I heard that the Han State in Qingzhou said that as long as those who surrendered, all their previous official positions would be awarded. You and I are just Sima and captain in the army. Now we have great wealth in front of us, but we let it go in vain. Isn't it right? What a pity?"
Xu Guang's doubtful voice immediately sounded, "What kind of great wealth?"
"Marquis Wanhu!" Cheng Xia said.
"Marquis Wanhu? Ah! You mean, that Shi Le?" Xu Guang's voice became even deeper.
"Yes, Liu Ying, a Wuwan slave, still knows how to seek wealth. We call ourselves heroes, shouldn't we be inferior to Liu Ying?" Cheng Xia's voice sounded.
As soon as he finished speaking, another voice sounded.
"Brother Cheng, Shi Le is your brother-in-law after all. Can he really do this?"
Xu Guang also said, "Yes, Brother Cheng, and there are many Jiehu gathered in the courtyard where Shi Le is. There are many of them, and they are all very fierce. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed!"
When Cheng Xia's voice sounded again, it became very gloomy.
"Bah, what kind of sister-in-law! It's such a shame to stoop to serve as a barbarian. Now that I have decided to leave, if I don't take this opportunity to wash away this great shame, I'm afraid I will be ridiculed by the people of Qingzhou for the rest of my life!"
"Then how should we start?" Xu Guang's voice sounded.
"Wait a minute, dear brother, you guys are shouting outside that there is an enemy attack. If this happens, I will..."
Cheng Xia's voice became lower and lower, and Shi Le, who was separated by a wall, could hardly hear what he was saying.
Shi Le's heart became fierce, and he was somewhat grateful to the gods and Buddhas for letting him know the tricks of these traitors.
In order to hear more clearly, he stood up quietly, thinking of getting closer to the wall so that he could hear more clearly.
He straightened up, his head pressed against the earth wall, and his whole body was almost pressed against the earth wall.
Sure enough, after getting closer, Shi Le heard it more clearly.
However, Shi Le had just heard less than half of the sentence, and he felt his hands on the earth wall loosen up, and there was no point of strength for an instant. His whole body was unable to react in time, and he fell forward.
"boom!"
A dull voice sounded in the dark night.
The broken earth wall couldn't bear Shi Le's squeeze and fell down.
Shi Le was also caught off guard and fell to the ground along with the earth wall.
Cheng Xia, Xu Guang and others were shocked. A wall that was in good condition collapsed in front of their eyes.
"who!?"
"who?"
"who?"
Several people immediately spotted Shi Le leaning against the collapsed earth wall, but it was dark and no one could see it for a while.
In the darkness, Shi Le only saw about five or six figures approaching him. When he heard the shouts and questions from these people, Shi Le did not dare to answer at all.
He knew that once his identity was exposed, he would probably die tragically at the hands of everyone.
However, silence does not mean safety.
The sound of the earth wall falling was very harsh in the dark night, and the Jie people gathered not far away immediately noticed it.
Soon there was a voice.
"what sound!?"
"Is there a thief?!"
"Is the pursuit coming?"
"General, general, where is the general?"
"Where is the general? Find him quickly!"
After these sounds came, Cheng Xia and others were shocked.
"Crack!"
Just when Shi Le quickly stood up and was about to run back, the sound of a sword being unsheathed was heard.
"Don't care who he is, kill him quickly!"
"We must not let him live!"
In an instant, Cheng Xia, Xu Guang and other five or six people came over with swords to kill.
Although Shi Le was wearing armor, he did not dare to fight at all. He just wanted to escape first and then call his Jiehu guards to kill all these ungrateful Jin people.
Na Zeng thought that as soon as Shi Le got up, he was hit hard in the back. Although he was protected by armor, he still staggered and fell to the ground again.
Shi Le was angry in his heart. He was about to shout angrily, draw his sword and kill these Jin people who were overestimating their capabilities. However, before he even got up, several people rushed up from behind him and pinned him down. on the ground.
His head was pressed firmly to the ground by a fat body, and the cold soil on the ground kept digging into his mouth and nose.
Shi Le tried his best to shout and struggle, but was restrained by several people and could not move at all.
Suddenly, Shi Le felt like his mind was blurred, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and he completely lost consciousness.
Cheng Xia held up the stone in his hand and hit it hard several times until the man on the ground stopped moving at all, then he dropped the stone while panting.
"Dead?" Cheng Xia was still a little worried.
"Leave him alone and leave quickly. Those Jiehu are coming." Xu Guang said anxiously.
Cheng Xia suddenly felt a little familiar with the dead body on the ground. However, at this time, the voices of the Jiehu people were getting closer and closer. He did not dare to take a closer look, so he had to follow Xu Guang and others, heading towards the rear where the horses had been prepared. Run on the ground.
The rapid sound of horse hooves was heard immediately, and it was heard far away in the dark night.
Those Jiehu who couldn't find Shi Le also heard the sound of horse hooves, and they were all panicked.
"Who ran away?"
"I heard the sound, there are quite a lot of people."
"It's broken. The general must have abandoned us and ran away!"
"Impossible! The general ran away, why didn't he take our guards with him?"
"Then how do I know! Anyway, the general can't be found now. He must have run away!"
While several Jiehu people were arguing, a panting Jiehu man ran over.
"It's not good. Cheng Xia, Xu Guang and the other Jin people are gone, and the horses are gone too. Those Jin and Wuwan people have run away and not a single one is left!"
"Huh? The general must have run away with those Jin people!"
"Maybe the pursuers of the Qingzhou thieves are coming soon. We can't delay any longer!"
"Yeah, run, run!"
As the dozens of Jiehu guards grew more frightened, no one had the intention to continue searching for the missing Shi Le.
Everyone hurriedly found their horses and fled in a hurry towards the northwest.
In the cold and dim early morning, two groups of people left the same abandoned village, one heading to the southeast and the other to the northwest.

Three days later.
After two days of pursuit, almost all of Hu and Han's defeated troops were defeated by Liu Yu.
After the news of Jiehu Shile's defeat at Qinghe spread, all the powerful dock owners in central Jizhou launched merciless revenge on the defeated Hu and Han troops crossing the border.
These powerful dock owners in Jizhou had previously succumbed to the Hulu's illustrious reputation and had to contribute food, cash, and money. Now that the Hulu loses power, it would be really unreasonable if they don't take the opportunity to pounce and take a bite. .
In particular, the Han army in Qingzhou that followed Hu and Han's defeat quickly spread the previous "Kill Hu Order" throughout central Jizhou.
Not only all the powerful dock owners in Jizhou, but also their subordinates, refugees and others are already aware of the generous rewards in "Killing Hu Ling".
For the Jie people with very different appearances, in the eyes of the people of Jizhou before, they were all brutal and bestial bandits, but in the eyes of the people of Jizhou today, they are all 'rewards' that can walk away.
Especially those Jiehu who fled alone could not find any food or forage in the wilderness, because almost all the scattered small villages in Jizhou had been wiped out by their previous plundering. Now almost all the people in Jizhou, They all gathered their own clans or township parties to guard Wubao together.
Throughout the entire central area of Jizhou, within a radius of hundreds of miles, the arrogant and domineering Jiehu people who used to appear all the time have disappeared.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't the reward for "Kill Hu Ling" be lowered a little? If it continues like this, there may be big trouble."
Xi Jian looked worried and spoke to Liu Yu.
"Oh, what do you mean by Mr. Xi's words?" Liu Yu was in a good mood. Although the Han army suffered many casualties in the battle of Qinghe, the momentum of the Hu Han army was completely defeated.
Nowadays, in several counties in central Jizhou, both powerful dock owners and refugees are actively looking for Jiehu who is alone.
"Nowadays, there are really too many people holding Jiehu's head and coming to receive the reward." Xi Jian was very troubled.
"If this continues, I'm afraid even if the entire cultivated land in Qinghe County and Pingyuan County is rewarded, it still won't be enough."
"How many Hulu heads have been counted now?" Liu Yu was also a little curious.
"A total of 8,939 Hulu heads." Xi Jian said.
"Not much." Liu Yu said
Xi Jian rolled his eyelids and said a little depressed.
"But just for the head of a barbarian, you will be granted acres of land and will also be rewarded with money and silk. Put it this way, Your Majesty, in just three days, the money and silk in the treasury of the two counties in the Qinghe Plain has already reached the bottom."
