At the end of March, the red sun hung high for many days, and the sky and the earth were scorching, indescribably hot.

To the east of Shaanxi, more than 10,000 people and horses are on the march. It was probably because of the unusually hot weather that everyone drooped their heads and walked listlessly; Even the horse looked a little unbearable, and skimmed its neck to the side, and its steps were much slower than usual, and if it wanted to urge it, it would make a snort, "very dissatisfied."

This Eastern Wei Jinyang army is also. The leader is Gao Huan's confidant --- Xue Guyan and Lu Yongji.

Lu Yongji wiped the fine and dense beads of sweat on his forehead, shook his hand, stuck out his tongue and said: "This bird sky in Henan is hot!" My body is full of stinky sweat, and my underwear is already wet, just like wearing two sets of heavy armor, and I am tired of lifting my hands, but how can I kill a thief? ”

Xue Guyan also felt that it was unbearable, and gasped and said, "I can't wait for it, and it's not much better to come to the West Thief." You and I will work harder to seize the Shaanxi City, can't we go back to Jinyang and enjoy that cool day? ”

"You're speaking lightly... Lu Yongji pursed his lips, and when he was about to argue two more sentences, he was really weak, so he simply kept silent.

It turned out that Gao Huan had detected that the remnants of the Western Army had fled to Shaanzhou, so he ordered Xue Guyan and Lu Yongji to lead an army to chase after him, and asked him to take Shaancheng first to wait for backup. As for the main force of the army, it is only because it is still waiting to clean up the Heluo mess, and in addition, Gao Shen in Northern Yuzhou has not yet been extinguished, so he will have to think about it for a while before making a decision.

dragged on, and Xue Lu and the two finally arrived under Shaanxi City. When I raised my eyes, the two looked at each other, and I was shocked!

I saw that the city gate was open, and there was no soldier or general to defend, only a rickety old army was sweeping the ground, unhurried, leisurely. Looking at the top of the city again, there was also no one. This... Could it be an empty city?

"Two, why is it too late?"

A person suddenly appeared in the place of the city tower, undressed and calm, and a large pu fan was gently shaking in his hand. Xue Guyan recognized it, could it be Pei Guo?

Although it was expected that the Chinese and Western thieves should have lost their courage and take Shaanxi City as a drum, but the scene in front of them was really incredible, but instead taught Xue Lu and the two to gasp and hesitate to enter ---the city? Not entering?

Even if it is measured by common sense, a fool will not be so big, let alone a treacherous person like Pei Guo?

But the gate of the city was open again, and the whole city looked, but there were only Pei Guo and the sweeping veterans... It's just at your fingertips.

Xue Guyan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said word by word: "Could it be that the thief has really escaped, and the thief Pei is simply making a suspicious plan?" ”

"I don't believe it!" Lu Yongji shook his head like a rattle: "Along the way, I have already caught many Westerners to ask, and they all said that there are many thieves in Shaanxi City, how can there be no shadow in a blink of an eye?" ”

It turned out that Xue Lu and the others were also cautious, and they came all the way, and they were very frequent, and they never won lightly. After all, after the victory of Bishan, the Eastern Army was immediately defeated in Xiaoqu, precisely because Gao Huan underestimated the enemy's ambush. The lessons of the previous car are not far away, how can Xue Lu and the two be indifferent?

"This..." Lu Yongji was reasonable, and Xue Guyan couldn't help but have a headache.

"It's a hot day, and I've already prepared sweet and cold water here. Now that the two of you are here, why don't you go upstairs to talk about it? Pei Guo on the city tower laughed, and then made a sound, which sounded full of anger.

"This thief is calm and relaxed, and he has no fear in his decision!" Lu Yongji narrowed his eyes and said, "I mean, it's better to be careful." ”

"How can you be careful? Let's hear it. ”

"It's better to retreat first, so as to be in order. Then send the detectives to ride out, within a radius of twenty miles to probe him carefully and clearly, if there is no ambush, this city is really empty, the big deal is to make a comeback, and the top of the sky is only a little delay. ”

"Good!" Xue Guyan nodded, and then ordered the troops to retreat for ten miles. Before leaving, he didn't forget to raise his head and glance at Pei Guo in the city, and there was a bit of provocation in his eyes. As a result, the thief hated to look back, and he was clearly a little impatient. . .

。。。。。。

"Report! Ten miles away from here, there are many thieves in the Beishan River Valley! The subordinates saw it clearly, and there were no less than 3,000 people! ”

"Report! In the south of Shaanxi City, the west thief banner between the East Mountains is cloudy, and there should be 5,000 people! ”

"Report! Fifteen miles to the southeast of this place, there is a dense forest deep. The shadows in the forest are longing, innumerable... ”

"Report..."

Xue Guyan was already covered with cold sweat, and said: "There are ambushes hidden in all directions, and even the southeast back road is not lacking... Why is this thief not only ambushed, but also dare to swallow me in one bite? ”

"A rough count shows that the ambush alone has far exceeded 10,000 people, and it is expected that there will be no less than that number in the city. In this way, isn't the thief several times more than me? On the morning of the 19th, the Eastern Army was ambushed and defeated in the Xiying camp, Lu Yongji experienced it personally, and the palpitations have not disappeared so far. Don't stay here for long! ”

。。。。。。

On the top of Shaanxi City, Pei Guo quietly watched the ambush soldiers from all walks of life return into the city, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and his attitude was very comfortable.

The generals on both sides cheered in unison: "Daxingtai is unique, and his subordinates are obedient!" ”

Wei Biao sighed: "The city is obviously empty, but the thief is scared away." Brother's courage, tsk, the world doesn't think about the second person! ”
