Jiang Wei hurriedly returned to the hall, added another lamp, illuminated the map even brighter, and quickly found the location of the Jiumu Pavilion.

Jiumu Pavilion is more than 60 miles south of Xianxia Pavilion, it is the first pavilion after entering Xianxia Mountain, and it is also the convergence point of several branch roads.

After Cao Su arrived at Jiumu Pavilion, he may choose to continue to take the official road and forcibly break through Xianxia Pavilion, or he may avoid the real and choose other paths to avoid head-on conflicts. No matter which road he chooses, after leaving the mountain, he will face the interception of the soldiers of Wu Jun County, and the difference is only in which county.

Jiang Wei preferred to intercept Cao Su in person. Only in this way could he be able to kidnap Cao Miao.

"Let's go, go to Jiumu Pavilion."

After listening to this, the two teams who came in a hurry looked at each other. "Now?"

Jiang Wei nodded solemnly. "Without further ado, it's now, be sure to rush to Jiumu Pavilion before dawn."

The two teams were dumbfounded, looking at Jiang Wei with idiot eyes. It's just a night operation, to rush sixty miles to meet the enemy, instead of waiting for work in Xianxia Pavilion and waiting for Cao Su to take the initiative to come to the door, what kind of tactic is this?

Prevent Cao Su from being too tired and his advantages are too obvious, so he has to take the initiative to catch up?

Jiang Wei had no intention of explaining to them. He knew that these tiger infantry were not convinced by him, and felt that he had just won the favor of the prime minister, so he was on the rise. It doesn't make sense to explain, the record is. When he captured Cao Miao and sent him to Chengdu, everyone was rewarded, and all doubts naturally disappeared.

Jiang Wei issued a military order, and the two teams did not dare to disobey, so they had to receive the order, and each called the Hubu battalion to which they belonged and set off towards Jiumu Pavilion.

Jiang Wei ordered the guards to prepare, and at the same time invited the pavilion chief of Xianxia Pavilion to explain some things.

Half an hour later, Jiang Wei led his troops to leave Xianxia Pavilion and went straight to Jiumu Pavilion.

At the time of Ling Ming, Jiang Wei arrived ten miles north of Jiumu Pavilion.

The late-night march and the unfamiliar terrain inevitably affected morale and the speed of the march, and Jiang Wei was in a bad mood.

The Tiger infantry were also in a bad mood. Traveling more than 50 miles in a hurry, and it was a mountain road, even if the tiger infantry was the elite of the Shu Han Dynasty and was known for being good at mountain warfare, they were still tired and staggered, and many soldiers were resentful and greeted Jiang Wei's female relatives.

Many people even feel that Jiang Wei doesn't treat them as human beings and treats them as beasts.

Listening to the chatter in the team, Jiang Wei didn't say a word and ignored it.

Sitting on his war horse, he saw the smoke in the direction of Jiumu Pavilion in the distance. After a moment's hesitation, he could tell that it was not the smoke of the early morning cooking, but the fireworks caused by the burning of buildings during the battle. Jiumu Pavilion is in the mountains, there is little wood and a lot of bamboo, and most of the houses are made of bamboo, which is easy to burn.

Jiang Wei immediately sent two knights to the Jiumu Pavilion to reconnoitre, and at the same time ordered everyone to prepare for battle.

At the sound of an order, the tiger infantrymen, who had just been full of resentment, immediately entered the battle state, their swords unsheathed, their arrows wound, their shields facing both sides, ready to meet the rain of arrows at any time.

——

Cao Su crouched in the bamboo forest on the side, looked at the tiger infantry who were on guard, and secretly praised himself.

is worthy of being the elite of Shu Han, and worthy of being the person that Zhuge Liang fancies, this vigilance is commendable. If Jiang Wei was a little careless and just rushed to Jiumu Pavilion, he would only need to give an order, and a wave of rapid shots would be able to severely damage them.

Now, he could only watch Jiang Wei pass by.

After marching ninety miles overnight, everyone was too tired to do anything, and the sneak attack might have a few chances of victory, and the fight would definitely be defeated.

He saw with his own eyes that the armor on the Shu army and the swords in his hands were excellent, and in a one-on-one battle, his subordinates may not be the opponents of these tiger infantry, not to mention that his strength is not as good as Jiang Wei.

Watching Jiang Wei pass, Cao Su motioned to his subordinates to continue waiting, and he had just walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Cao Miao and Xiahou Hui sat opposite each other, no more than two steps apart, but they looked in different directions without any communication.

Cao Su smacked his lips secretly and walked to Cao Miao's side. "Yunliang, Jiang Wei has passed."

"See clearly?"

"I see it clearly. The equipment of these Tiger infantry is really good. Defeat them, I'm going to take them all down. ”

"Are they fast? How well is your stamina maintained? ”

"Medium speed, good stamina." Cao Su smacked his lips. "These barbarians can really walk, dozens of miles of mountain roads, and they are still so spirited. I originally thought that Yuan Gong was useless, and I would only defend the city, but now I know that there is no chance of winning in a field battle, unless it is flat ground. ”

Xiahou Hui glanced at Cao Su in surprise. Cao Su is not a person who talks a lot, why does he talk endlessly when he talks about the war?

Then wait for him to come back, and it will be twenty miles back and forth. Calculate the time, eat in time, and replenish your energy. ”

Cao Su nodded again and again, turned around and left.

Xiahou Hui turned his head to look at Cao Miao. Although she didn't know what kind of arrangement Cao Miao and Cao Su had, just from these few words, she could guess that it was Cao Miao who gave advice to Cao Su, mobilized Jiang Wei, and tried her best to make up for the gap and strive for victory, instead of perfunctory and coping as she thought.

"You...... Ideas for Dess? Xiahou Hui opened his mouth with great difficulty. After applying the medicine last night, her foot pain has been reduced a lot, and she hasn't thanked Cao Miao yet. It's not that she doesn't know thanks, it's that the two have been in a cold war, and she can't open her mouth.

"It's just a little trick that doesn't make a big difference." Cao Miao said lightly, looking at the bamboo leaves all over the ground.

Xiahou Hui heard Cao Miao's indifference, and closed his mouth in a sneer. After a while, she added, "Thank you for the medicine." ”

Cao Miao was silent.

Xiahou Hui sighed, held the maid's arm, slowly stood up, and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Cao Miao frowned. "Where to go? The battle could start at any time, so don't move. ”

"Wash your hands." Xiahou Hui was also a little annoyed.

"Then don't go far." Cao Miao straightened up and rolled her eyelids. "There are snakes in the bamboo forest." As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the ground not far away.

Xiahou Hui looked along his fingers, and saw that between the bamboo leaves, a snake was faintly visible, and he couldn't help but be startled, and subconsciously looked around. On the way here, she listened to the guide's many reminders that she must guard against snakes when walking on mountain roads. Some snakes are highly venomous, and being bitten is a dead end, and there is no way to save them.

In order to verify this statement, the guide also specially caught a snake and let the snake bite the chicken. After Xiahou Hui saw the lively chicken being bitten by a snake, he convulsed a few times and then stopped moving.

In fact, she didn't have to be bitten by a snake, just seeing the disgusting appearance of the snake made her feel scared.

Hearing that there might be snakes in the bamboo forest, the maid was also frightened and weak, so she glanced at Xiahou Hui again and again, and begged in a low voice: "Madam, bear with me." ”

Xiahou Hui was embarrassed and his face was red. How to endure the internal urgency? Originally, I wasn't in a hurry, but I was frightened by Cao Miao, I was nervous, and I was even more anxious, and I couldn't bear it. You can't just get rid of it nearby, in case the noise is loud and Cao Miao hears it, how will you see people in the future?

"Let's go!" Xiahou Hui gritted his teeth, glared at the maid fiercely, and walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest step by step.
