Zhao Hong is suspicious

After the Yellow Turban Army was ambushed in pursuit of Bowangpo, 50,000 people unexpectedly fled back to 20,000, and the dense woods of Bowangpo brought convenience to the fire attack and also brought obstacles to the officers and troops pursuing the Yellow Turban Army.

In the camp of the official army, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, Sun Jian and Wen Qi were sitting in the camp tent, although everyone cooperated with each other and annihilated the 30,000 Yellow Turban Army with fire attack at Bowangpo, but the news that came this morning made several people unhappy.

Rengong General Zhang Liang is coming to Nanyang to replace the seriously ill Zhang Mancheng, once Zhang Liang arrives, Nanyang's Yellow Turban Army will be even more difficult to deal with, and even these Yellow Turban Army is likely to hide in the city and hold out.

"What is the situation of the battle between Jizhou and Yingchuan?" Wen Qi asked, since Zhang Liang can come from Jizhou, he naturally wants to ask about the battle situation over there.

Huangfu Song shook his head and said: "Jizhou is the base camp of Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Army has millions of people, Lord Lu Zhi can only rely on holding on to the city to curb the expansion of the Yellow Turban Army, Lord Zhu Jun on the Yingchuan side has been entangled with the Yellow Turban Army for several months, and the current battle situation is unknown. โ€

"If Zhang Liang wants to come, there is no point in delaying the time, it is better to take advantage of the Yellow Turban Army to go out of the city now and defeat them in one fell swoop." Sun Jian said that the main battle has always been his attitude.

"Wentai is reasonable, there is no point in killing Zhang Mancheng now, but there is still one thing to deal with before the decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army." Cao Cao got up and said.

"What?"

"There is information that Zhao Hong, who escaped in Anzhong, and more than a dozen entourages are dressing up in disguise and want to return to Nanyang, and they leaked in an inn in Lixian County, and the county order of Lixian County came to report overnight that the city gate has been closed today and the whole city has been thoroughly investigated, but no one knows what this Zhao Hong looks like."

"It's better to send another thousand men and horses to blockade Lixian until the end of the Nanyang war." Wenqi suggested.

"Lixian grain and grass resources are insufficient, a large number of people need to go in and out, it is impossible to lock the whole city for a long time for one person, once the people's grievances break out, with this Zhao Hong's ability to confuse the public, I am afraid that it will be able to get a force again, if the city is released, as long as this Zhao Hong goes out of the city, who knows that it will bring a lot of trouble to our army."

"If you only need to deal with Zhao Hong, I am willing to take a trip, and I am sure to find Zhao Hong." Wen Qi got up and said.

I have a system, as long as I recognize Zhao Hong and kill him, if I let Zhao Hong return to Nanyang, with him to help the seriously ill Zhang Mancheng, I don't know how many people will be killed.

Everyone had no objections, but just told Wen Qifan to be more careful, because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's appearance and body size were too conspicuous, Wen Qi only took Huang Zhong alone and rushed to Lixian.

Wen Qi and Huang Zhong rode lightly, all the way to the west, and arrived at the city of Lixian in the evening of the next day.

A group of people surrounded the city, seeing that the two of them were extraordinary, they all gave way to Huang Zhong to the defenders on the city wall, and the drawbridge began to be slowly lowered.

Seeing that Wen Qi and the two of them successfully opened the city gate, several people on the side surrounded them and said, "My lord, please let us go in too!" โ€

"Folks, who are you?" Wen Qi dismounted and asked.

"We are all fleeing people, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang is fighting with the army of the imperial court, and we can't get through, so we came to Lixian County for refuge, but the gate of Lixian County is closedใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚

Wen Qi didn't pay attention to what he said later, but he said that he was going to Nanyang, and he didn't come to Lixian until he couldn't get by, which made him a little strange.

"When you go to Nanyang City, don't you need to go to Li County?"

"No, at least three small roads can go to Nanyang, and you don't need to go to Lixian."

"How many people know these three paths?"

"Everyone in the neighborhood knows, but they don't know, and they know if they ask."

Wen Qi's heart sank, and he first used the system to test these people, and there was nothing abnormal, so he asked the defenders inside to let the people in for refuge first, and then said to Huang Zhong: "Hansheng, according to what these people said, if Zhao Hong wants to return to Nanyang, he doesn't have to go to Lixian at all, why did he come here?" โ€

"Could it be that the information is wrong!"

"Let's take a look at the city."

Early the next morning, Wen Qi first walked around the city, when Lixian was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, Sun Jian flooded the city, but it doesn't seem that the situation is serious, judging from the traces left by the city wall, the water is up to the knees, and I don't know how Sun Jian laid down the city.

It took a morning to go around the city, and no trace of Zhao Hong was found, and after lunch, Wenqi went directly to the county office and asked the county order.

This county order was temporarily appointed after Sun Jian laid down the city, the ability is average, but the person is more pragmatic, the second child of the nearby inn heard that the city is likely to enter the Yellow Turban Divine Envoy, immediately ran to report to the official, this county order immediately sent someone to report to the emperor Fu Song.

Wen Qi asked about some things, but these things were not very clear to the county order, so he still had to go to the inn to inquire by himself.

"Do you know how Sun Wentai took Licheng in the first place?" Before leaving, Wenqi asked. โ€œ

"I know, General Sun Wentai sent Huang Gai and Han Dang, two generals, to take advantage of the continuous autumn rain to release water and flood Licheng."

"But when I look at the traces on the city wall, the water is not deep."

"Yes, when the Yellow Turban Army found out that the city was flooded, they abandoned the city and ran away, and Huang Gai and Han Dang's second general took over Licheng."

"The two armies didn't clash?"

"It's just that when I was chasing the Yellow Turban Army, I fought for a while."

"It's strange that the Yellow Turban Army retreated without a fight, the water is not as deep as the knees of ordinary people, especially for the Yellow Turban Force, I'm afraid it won't affect it at all."

"I don't know about this."

With doubts, Wenqi went out of the county office and came to the inn where the little two who reported to the official at the beginning, saying that it was an inn, but in fact, it was to sell some thin porridge and porridge, and give the rich refugees a plank to sleep on, but at this time, what else could they ask for.

According to him, two people came to buy porridge and steamed buns that day, and one person accidentally spilled the porridge, and was severely reprimanded by the other person, and he unintentionally mentioned that this was a meal bought for Zhao Hong's divine envoy, so he was careful.

This little two knew the dangers of Taiping Dao, and as soon as the two of them left, they hurried to report to the official, and as for where they came from, this little two didn't know.

"Could it be that all this is chasing the wind and shadows, this little two may have heard it wrong, Zhao Hong has never been to the city at all." Huang Zhong said.

"It's possible, but if he's alone, there's really no way to prove that Zhao Hong is in the city." Wen Qi said, but if you go back like this, you will be too irresponsible for this mission, and this Zhao Hong has not appeared in Nanyang so far, compared to it, the possibility of Lixian is even greater.

Leaving the inn, Wen Qi and Huang Zhong changed into the costume of a merchant, and for two days, they rode around Lixian for a long time, allowing the system to search Zhao Hong, markets, refugee camps, inns, and prison cellsใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ใ€‚ There is still no trace of Zhao Hong.

"System, can you detect the special state of a person?"

"Yes."

"Can you detect who in the lower city has been brainwashed by Taiping Dao?"

"It can only detect a small area of people in the surrounding area, not the whole city."

Before dawn on the third day, Wen Qi and Huang Zhong had already set up an ambush near the inn that day, if Zhao Hong was really in the city, Wen Qi didn't believe that he could still bring rice, firewood and a big pot to cook and eat by himself, according to what Xiao Er said, they were exposed when they were buying food that day.

waited until the afternoon, Wen Qi yawned, and the system suddenly said: "I found that the two of them were in a state of bewitchment by Taiping Dao!" โ€

"Hansheng, there is something wrong with those two people!" Wen Qi secretly pointed to the two people who had just finished buying food with his finger.

Huang Zhong pretended to turn his head inadvertently, glanced at it and said: "The lord has good eyesight, these two people bought almost ten people's meals, packed them and left, and the meals at this time are neither lunch nor dinner, it is likely that these people are in a place where they don't see the light of day, and they can't estimate the time, and in the past three days, these two people are the most suspicious." โ€ใ€‚

"Ten people, a place where the light of day is gone." This Huang Zhong glanced at it, and he could find so much, which made Wen Qi secretly surprised.

"Follow them!" Wenqi waved his hand, and the two quietly followed.
