At this time, the scout who was exploring the road in front turned back and told Cao Liang in a low voice that he had found a river more than ten zhang wide in front of him, and the current was very fast, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to swim across, and asked Cao Liang if he had made a detour.

The river runs east-west, and if it is detoured, it is not known where it will take a detour, and it will only get farther and farther away from Cao Liang's original goal.

What's more, the river area has always been a key point for Wu Bing's defense, and walking along the river embankment will only face greater risks.

"Take me to see." Cao Liang decided to see for himself.

The scout immediately led Cao Liang there, and the group approached the river lightly.

This river was obviously much wider than the rivers that Cao Liang had crossed before, and the current was relatively turbulent, and at this moment the river surface was filled with dense fog, and only the shadows of the trees on the opposite bank could be faintly seen, hazy, and I didn't know if there were ambushes on the other side of the river.

Cao Liang looked at the width of the river and felt that it was not unacceptable, after all, the river surface of more than ten zhang was even a medium river, but the depth of the water was not yet known.

Cao Liang sent two Wei soldiers with good water to go down to the river to investigate the depth of the river, if it was suitable for swimming, Cao Liang was ready to swim over, if the water was too deep for swimming, Cao Liang had to find another way.

Two Wei soldiers with good water quickly jumped into the river, although the river is very turbulent, but it is not too deep, probably only to a waist-deep position, Cao Liang was overjoyed to see this, this water depth does not affect the crossing of the river at all, he was about to beckon the team to go into the water, when he heard someone on the other side shouting: "Who is it?" Dead trespassers! ”

The two Wei soldiers who had reached the position in the middle of the river couldn't help but panic, they really didn't expect that there would be someone on the other side of the river to listen to the accent, it was the accent of Wu Di, and they were sure that it was Wu Bing, probably because the sound of their launch was too loud, which alarmed the patrols of the Wu army on the other side of the river.

The two Wei soldiers didn't dare to move anymore, nor did they dare to speak, one mouth was a thick northern dialect, and they couldn't fool if they wanted to.

The two didn't open their mouths didn't mean that they were okay, and when the other party saw that they didn't respond for a long time, they simply greeted with bows and arrows, and dozens of feathered arrows swished, through the dense fog, and shot towards the center of the river.

Pity the two Wei soldiers who were exploring the way, they couldn't hide, they were killed by random arrows on the spot, and their bodies drifted away along the river.

Suddenly this situation appeared, so that Cao Liang, who was about to go into the water, hurriedly suspended his action, in the dense fog, it was impossible to tell how many Wu soldiers were on the opposite side, just looking at the number of arrows shot, there were no less than dozens, that is to say, the number of the other party was higher than dozens of people, and even hundreds of people were possible, after all, the other party could not be all archers, at least there should be other arms.

Although Cao Liang's manpower is not necessarily weaker than the other party, but the other party is separated by a river as a barrier, and the other party has a long-range type of archer, which really makes Cao Liang feel at a loss.

Although it is difficult to distinguish the figure in the dense fog now, the other party can completely rely on the sound of crossing the river on his side to attack with arrows, and the person is powerless to fight back when he reaches the river, and the two Wei soldiers who were unfortunately killed are a lesson from the past.

But Cao Liang didn't want to take a detour, no one knew where the river was not defended by Wu soldiers, and after the sun rose, the dense fog would dissipate, and without the fog as a cover, it would be discovered by the enemy after a few miles, and it would be more difficult to break through.

Cao Liang frowned, thinking hard about the way, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he whispered to the people behind him: "Among you, who can speak Dongwu dialect?" ”

Everyone shook their heads one after another, all the soldiers of the Wei army were from the northern states, and the words they spoke were naturally dialects from all over the north, and most of them never had the opportunity to leave their homeland in their lives, even if they went out to fight, it was an occasional short time, so they couldn't speak Dongwu dialect at all.

Just when Cao Liang was disappointed, a thin veteran standing at the end of the team said: "Cao joined the army, and when he was young, he followed his father to do business, and he went to Wu for a few years, but he could speak a few words of Dongwu dialect. ”

Cao Liang was overjoyed, and immediately called the little veteran to his side, and said to him: "Okay, if you shout to the other side like this, just say that you are a subordinate of the right general Quan Cong, and you are pursuing the Wei soldiers all the way here, and please allow you to cross the river." ”

The little veteran immediately shouted to the other side and repeated what Cao Liang had confessed.

The little veteran's Dongwu accent is very standard, and he speaks more fluently than the Dongwu people, and when the other party heard it, he didn't have any doubts, but said: "This is the general's station, and you can't get close to it." ”

General? Cao Liang knew that the general of Wu at this time was Zhuge Jin.

The military system of Wu is relatively chaotic, and the general is not like Cao Wei who is under one person and above 10,000 people, but the general of Wu is not a first-class high-ranking official, above the general, there are also generals, great Sima, prime ministers and other positions.

However, the general can be regarded as an important minister, Cao Liang didn't expect that he would hit the edge of Zhuge Jin's camp by mistake, obediently, this is a big fish!

Cao Liang was immediately overjoyed, capture the thief and capture the king first, as long as he can capture Zhuge Jin, maybe he can turn the tide of the battle.

Of course, Zhuge Jin was surrounded by a group of guards, and the number of people was probably not something that Cao Liang could handle.

However, Cao Liang didn't want to give up just like that, this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity was hard to come by, since the Wu army set up Zhuge Jin's camp here, it would probably not mobilize too many people to guard, after all, this is already a marginal area, and it is difficult for the Wei army to kill here.

The soldiers also became eager to try, such a good opportunity, they don't want to give up, this is like a person who has been destitute for a long time, suddenly picked up a lot of money, a little helpless.

Cao Liang asked the little veteran to say: "I found the traces of the Wei army's crossing of the river not far from the left, and letting these people cross the river will inevitably endanger the safety of the general. ”

A big hat with a foreign connection was buttoned up, and the other party really didn't dare to insist anymore, wearing gold and silver, nervously guarding against it, and at the same time agreeing to Cao Liang's request to cross the river.

Once it comes to the safety of the main general, this team will not dare to be careless, and Cao Liang is to seize this opportunity and take fewer detours, and at the same time, at the right time, find that the main force of the Wei army is matched, which is the key among the keys.

Using the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, most of the fortified troops around Zhuge Jin were transferred away, so that Cao Liang could do nothing, cross the river, and capture Zhuge Jin, which was the real first achievement.

Cao Liang couldn't help but feel alive.
