Chapter 96: Leaving Xin'an (Part 1)

The guard saw the head still moving on the ground and burst into cold sweat. He knew that this head was one he found among the dead soldiers. Although it had been specially treated, it was fake after all. At this time, facing the angry King Zheng, he could not help but feel ups and downs. At this time, the guards were feeling like they were carrying fifteen buckets of water. Some people's legs could no longer help but tremble.

There was even one who couldn't stand firm when he saw the head and knelt on the ground, and his legs were still shaking violently. The one next to him was still strong. Seeing the appearance of his companion by his side, he quickly pinched him hard with his hands.

Fortunately, King Zheng was thinking about something else with red eyes at this time, and he had no time to pay attention to them at this time. Otherwise, King Zheng would have discovered something in this scene.

"You are sure that this is Liu Shan's head!" King Zheng's roar sounded, and the few people in front of him were kneeling on the ground. At this time, the person who was scared to kneel down just now only felt his lower abdomen tightening. King Zheng's rage actually made him feel a little incontinent.

"Report to King Zheng, this is indeed Liu Shan's head. I personally cut it from Liu Shan's neck with someone, just because Liu Shan is too powerful and was cut off by the soldiers when he died." The person who offered his head had no way out at this time. At this time, even if there was a steel knife on his head, he would finish the lie and say it in a tone of 120,000 affirmation. Otherwise, the result of waiting for him would be only one, that is, his head would fall to the ground.

"This is indeed Liu Shan's head, and Bei Zhi was also present at that time." Several other people quickly helped. At this time, if King Zheng had doubts, then his head would be like this one on the ground, even more miserable than this one on the ground.

"Liu Shan, you are finally dead. Yi'er, hum! One day I will want you to die too." After King Zheng said that, he seemed to be filled with emotion. Looking at the head on the ground, there was another stumbling block in front of him, but this stumbling block was not too important to King Zheng.

What he wanted to see most at this time was Yi'er's head. He had been carrying the killer and general who had been trained for more than ten years, but he betrayed him at this time. The hatred in his heart was like a swelling volcano. How could the hatred for Yi'er be compared with Liu Shan?

"Let's go, the whole army marched urgently and headed to Xin'an!" King Zheng said to his subordinates. After a while, this order had spread all over the army behind him. The army changed its route and headed directly to Xin'an. King Zheng only hoped that he could cut off the head himself. He didn't even feel like taking a look at the few Xuanyang guards in front of him. He was not in the mood to take another look at the head on the ground with holes.

Xin'an at this time.

"Hey, you guys, I didn't let you take off your uniform, take off your uniform, hide your weapons, and leave the city quickly." Liu Shan rode on a horse and patrolled in Xin'an. He had just ordered all the soldiers to take off their uniforms and let them put on their previous clothes, whether they were acting as refugees, farmers, merchants, or heroes who traveled around the world. Anyway, everything would do, as long as they were not soldiers.

At the beginning, Yi'er had already escorted the people who were unwilling to stay in Xin'an and the people who were Mengjiagou left first.

At this time, all the troops were broken into pieces and retreated toward the outer periphery of Xin'an. There was no way to do so. If the entire army evacuated together, the target along the way would be too great. The chances of being discovered by the surrounding prefectures and counties were almost 100%. No matter which prefecture or county along the way, he would not be able to escape safely with the army.

Liu Shan thought of a solution, which was to use the refugee wave at this time to let his army get among refugees or other people who often walk. Almost all the treatments that refugees encounter in various places are to drive them away. Then, when these prefectures and counties find groups of refugees, they will not open the city gates at all, and even have to bring soldiers out to drive away these people. Then, the soldiers who are mixed in can escape safely.

After the army left the sphere of influence of King Zheng of Luoyang, these scattered troops gathered again in the territory of King Qin at this time, then changed into equipment, and took weapons to head towards Liangzhou.

In fact, there is also a risk in breaking up the whole into pieces. Once the scattered troops are discovered, the result will be almost disastrous. Moreover, when the army marchs like this, when it reaches the assembly place, it is very likely that some troops will be separated on the way or even some people are unwilling to go to the assembly place and deliberately get lost on the way. This is inevitable.

But Liu Shan had no choice. At this time, he was surrounded by King Zheng and his minions. The marching of the brigade would only result. He was blocked by King Zheng and chased him, and he could only run away. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for the peasant army to leave the sphere of influence of King Zheng.

Among the pros and cons, you can only take one method with the advantages and disadvantages.

Moreover, Liu Shan was confident in doing this. Mengjiagou was the first to revolt. Zheng Wang would never let go of the people there. These people were eager to leave the sphere of influence of Zheng Wang at this time. Moreover, although Zheng Wang tried his best to conceal the specific people's livelihood situation in the Tang Dynasty, it was a good place for people to have no worries about food and clothing, and to pay less taxes in the public. Who would not want to live a better life or live a happier life? Who would be willing to hand over most of the crops he had cultivated in a hard year to the officials and landlords, but he struggled hard on the brink of death.

Since the Tang Dynasty was so good, the people had this to go to the Tang Dynasty, and they knew that when they arrived, the King of Qin would arrange conditions and opportunities for farming and living places for them, why didn't they go?

This is the heart of the people. Therefore, in all the troubled times in history, the direction of people's movement was generally avoiding areas with heavy taxes and high labor service, and going to places with low taxes and low labor service.

Liu Shan started to drive this time to adapt to the flow of this historical river, so Liu Shan is not afraid of many people running back halfway.

People who can join their own peasant army and follow them naturally do not want to stay in such a dire place.

As for those people who are unwilling to leave their hometowns and travel thousands of miles, Liu Shan did not persuade them at all. Everyone has their own ambitions, and whether to leave or not is actually forced by fate. Liu Shan would not be so arrogant that he thought he was a savior or a living Bodhisattva.

Those who leave, try their best to ensure their safety and let them reach the land of the Tang Dynasty. Those who are unwilling to leave will also find ways to let them survive this disaster so that they will not be killed by King Zheng because of their own affairs.

And at this moment, a hurried cavalry had already run to Liu Shan.

"How about it?"

"The King of Zheng did not fall into the city in Xuanyang, but drove directly to us. The army was less than five miles away from Xin'an at this time." The running and panting cavalry hurriedly reported to Liu Shan.

Hearing the cavalry, Liu Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and a stone in his heart finally let go. In fact, after Liu Shan withdrew from Xuanyang last night, he had been ups and downs, afraid that the people would suffer because he occupied Xuanyang. At this time, he knew that Zheng Wang's army did not enter Xuanyang, so he let go of the stone in his heart.
