Chapter 55: A Strategy for Escape

Between Jumen City and Tiangang City, there is a north-south mountain range, named Taihang Mountain.

The Taihang Mountains are magnificent and wonderful, and it is a scenic spot that many tourists at home and abroad come to watch. Especially during holidays, it is crowded one after another, which shows the popularity of the city.

It's just that for the Wu Shu Alliance, which is on the run at the moment, they are not in the mood to enjoy the nearby landscape.

Since four days ago, after the Wushu coalition army that went to aid Cao Zhi was defeated by Cao Pi, Qin Yue decisively ordered a retreat, and he must not confront the other party. In his anxiety, he couldn't save too many people, so he could only reluctantly bring Cao Zhi and a few core personnel out.

Pursued by Cao Pi's troops, Qin Yue and Zhou Yuqian discussed slightly, and then decided to give up taking the main road, and instead entered from the north side of Taihang Mountain, preparing to follow the mountain range and escape all the way back to Tiangang City.

Sure enough, due to the natural barrier of Taihang Mountain, the speed of Cao Pi and the others' pursuit was affected by Yan Zòng, and for a while, there was no way to take the Wushu Alliance. It can only keep a certain distance and will not lose it.

On this day, Qin Yue, Zhou Yuqian and others had already led a team of hundreds of people behind them to the southerly location of Taihang Mountain. As long as they had walked for another day or so, they should have been able to get out of the forest completely, but they suddenly camped in place and ordered to stop.

In a camp tent in the center, many core figures of Wu and Shu are among them. Sun Quan, Lu Xun, Lu Su, Gan Ning and others of Wu State, Zhuge Liang, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and others of Shu State, and finally Cao Zhi and one of his generals, Zhang Liao!

I saw Qin Yue at this time, his face was slightly pale, and his eyes were full of bloodshots, so it was conceivable what kind of exhaustion he had reached. But this is also something that can't be helped, in the past few days of escape, whenever Cao Pi and the others are about to catch up, it is the time when he uses his powerful ability to break off and rest for a few days.

I still remember one of the most dangerous times, when Qin Yue used his star picker, the earth-changing ability in the Divine Wisdom Colored Feather Fan, he met a strong opponent on the other side, whose name he still remembers vividly, that is Wen Yang.

At that time, he wanted to convert the ground behind him into a soft sand field to delay the pursuit of the opponent. But he never expected that Na Wenyang had an extremely terrifying ability to control the soil, and in turn used the sand and soil to almost wipe out the Wu Shu Alliance.

If it weren't for Liu Xueliang's timely action and his spiritual attack on Wen Yang, they would have been buried in the sea of sand by now. But after Liu Xueliang's blow, he was also attacked by Yan zhòng, and his expression was sluggish for a few days.

"Ahem." Zhou Yuqian coughed lightly and attracted everyone's attention: "The reason why we urgently convene everyone to discuss now is that I believe everyone understands it." While the exit is just around the corner, the real danger is also here. ”

"In the past few days, we have entered the mountains and forests, which has slowed down their pursuit, but our speed is also not fast. You know, Cao Pi has no stupid people under him, and he will inevitably send some people to the front to ambush us. Once we go out unprepared, it is a sure defeat. So, I hope you can come up with some ideas and get out of the way. ”

Liu Xueliang cheered up and said: "Lord, the area of this Taihang Mountain is not small, and we don't have to stick to the exit in front of us. Why not take a detour from the side and bypass their ambush. They don't have a lot of manpower, and it is impossible for them to be able to guard all places. ”

Lu Su shook his head and said: "That Sima Yi under Cao Pi is by no means inferior to us in terms of wisdom, what if this is the other party's suspicious tactics and deliberately leads us to the encirclement on the side." ”

"What Mr. Lu Su said makes sense, now we don't know which side the other party will keep, and it is impossible to try our luck recklessly, so I hope everyone can come up with a proper way." Zhou Yuqian groaned.

After being silent for a long time, Cao Zhi raised his head bitterly: "Lord Sun Quan, don't bother to help me anymore." You can come and save me, and I am content with all this. But I don't want to hurt you anymore by me, their goal is me, just give me to them......"

"Absolutely not!" Qin Yue suddenly vetoed sternly: "Do you think that in this situation, they will still let the two of us leave safely?" What's more, if even you lose confidence in yourself, then what should the subordinates who sacrificed their lives to protect you do before and let them sacrifice in vain? ”

Zhang Liao on the side, who was also Zhou Yuqian's childhood friend Ding Feng, frowned and said: "Mr. Zhuge Liang, my father-in-law had no choice but to make this decision, do you think we are willing to send us to death?" ”

After finishing speaking, Ding Feng turned to Zhou Yuqian and said, "Yuqian, you know who I am, if you can't think of any way in the end, then don't worry too much." Please give us up, and perhaps buy you time to escape. ”

Suddenly, Qin Yue's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his pale face: "Very good, just do what General Zhang Liao said!" ”

"How can this work?" Zhou Yuqian was suddenly in a hurry, Ding Feng was one of his best brothers, among the four friends, Sun Weihao had unfortunately passed away, how could he let Ding Feng also go to death.

Seeing that he seemed to have some misunderstanding, Qin Yue hurriedly explained: "Lord Sun Quan, don't worry, of course I don't really plan to give up on them, it's just a ploy." We can pretend to compromise and pretend to hand over Master Cao Zhi's party and make an appointment to meet at the exit ahead. Then, we can count according to the shape shì. ”

"When we arrived, we rushed to the meeting place and hid around to see what happened. However, we will definitely not really hand over Cao Zhi, the agreement is just a cover to confuse the other party's sight. ”

Ma Chao was a little puzzled and asked, "But if they really come as promised, won't they be caught all by them?" ”

Without waiting for Qin Yue to explain, Lu Su first smiled and asked, "General Ma Chao, if you are in the other party's position right now, and you suddenly learn the news of the other party, what would you think?" ”

Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied: "This, of course, will feel too fake, it is obvious that there is a problem here." ”

Lu Su nodded and said: "That's what it means, they will definitely not be stupid enough to believe us so lightly, so they will definitely not take the agreement seriously." What Mr. Zhuge Liang means is to do the opposite, and do fake shows. ”

"What if?" Ma Chao still couldn't figure it out: "What if the other party really believes in us and sends everyone to this place?" ”

At this time, Qin Yue also took over: "General Ma Chao is right to be cautious, I don't have much contact with Sima Yi, but judging from the chasing battles in the past few days, I can feel that he is a person with a great sense of the overall situation." The advice is very comprehensive. So I'm taking advantage of that, and I guess he's not going to fully believe it, and it's not going to be completely unbelievable. ”

"From the big picture, he's never going to send all his men here to take a big gamble, and he's not going to ignore this side. Therefore, there is only one possibility next, and that is to cast a full net to focus on fishing. He will leave some important men behind, and he will not let his guard down in the rest of the place. ”

Ma Chao suddenly said: "So that's the case, if it's the other party's whole army, we are not opponents." But it's only a part of the manpower, and we can still fight. Haha, in that case, fast attack is what I'm good at, let me be a striker when the time comes! ”

"That's what I intended." Qin Yue and Ma Chao looked at each other and smiled.

Now that the general direction has been determined and everyone else has no doubts, the next step is to discuss the specific progress. As we all know, this method is certainly dangerous compared to rushing out by luck, but it is too stable.

So, after resting for half a day, Zhou Yuqian led everyone to continue to move forward, but did not deviate from the direction, but left traces of walking forward. Among these traces, there is also a letter, which basically says that Zhou Yukun wanted to protect himself, so he secretly wrote this letter, wanting to hand over Cao Zhi at the exit tomorrow.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cao Pi and others who came in a hurry to find the letter. As for how they felt after reading it, it is not for the rest of the people to know.

At noon the next day, according to the plan, it was the agreed time at this moment, and Zhou Yuqian and the others had already ambushed around in advance, just waiting for the arrival of the other party. After a while, I saw that a team of people arranged by Cao Pi to guard outside the mountains and forests and a team of people who were pursuing converged.

Looking at the expressions of the two teams, there was no unusual expression for Zhou Yuqian and others not to come to the appointment. It seems that even they don't believe that the Wushu Alliance will really come over honestly.

After waiting for a while again, Zhou Yuqian knew that the time had come, and immediately raised his hand. Listening to a long hiss behind him, a well-built cavalry was like an arrow from the string, and in the blink of an eye, it went straight to Cao Pi's two teams.

Although the forest area is strict and affects cavalry raids, Ma Chao has cultivated elite horses, which can almost ignore sixty percent of the obstacles in the forest.

Ma Chao's fifty-man cavalry team rushed straight into the enemy formation, and the two teams on the other side combined were close to two hundred people, but they still couldn't stop the cavalry charge. It didn't take long for the formation to be shattered by the impact and collapsed.

Seeing that the scene showed a one-sided advantage, Zhou Yuqian decisively stood up and shouted, leading the rest of the people to surround him from all directions. After a battle like chopping melons and vegetables, the whole battle was resolved at a breakneck speed.

Only Qin Yue did not feel at ease at this scene, but frowned. He walked quickly to a captured enemy leader and asked in a deep voice, "Where are the rest of you?" ”

Who knew that this man sneered and said, "What, do you feel that your plan is going too smoothly?" Haha, a bunch of fools, what kind of people are Lord Sima Yi, how can they fall for your scheme. Don't worry, I've already sent a signal, and I believe that it won't be long before Lord Sima Yi arrives. You're all dead! ”

Sure enough, it's not that simple! Qin Yue always felt uneasy in his heart, and now it seemed that he should have noticed something by the other party.

"Lord Sun Quan, hurry up and evacuate with people, and run as far as you can while the enemy has not yet arrived."
