Soon the 30,000 troops sent by Cao Ren arrived on the battlefield.

At this time, Ma Chao led his army to retreat north.

When Cao Cao saw this, he thought that the Xiliang army had been defeated and retreated, and he was overjoyed and ordered the whole army to chase and kill. Especially Cao Chun's tiger and leopard ride, running fast, as a chasing striker.

More than 100,000 horses headed north.

Pursuing to the jungle mountain range five miles away, Ma Chao's cavalry had just passed, and the tiger and leopard cavalry were attacked by overwhelming boulders, and the road was blocked, unable to advance or retreat.

I saw that at the top of the mountain range, countless banners of the Xiliang Army appeared.

Pound stood in front of the mountain pass and ordered the soldiers to shoot with bows and arrows.

Whoosh...

Countless arrows flew from the mountain pass.

The tigers and leopards ride together, and there is nowhere to stop or avoid. Hit hard for a while.

And because the road is blocked by rocks, it is impassable. Cao Jun, who came from behind, couldn't rescue the tiger and leopard riders. I could only listen to the screams coming from the mountains in the back.

"Someone. Move the stones in front of you. After Xiahou Yuan arrived, he ordered the soldiers to step forward to carry stones.

It's a very difficult process.

While they were carrying the stones, the attacks of the Xiliang army continued.

caused Xiahou Yuan's department, and suffered heavy casualties.

But in order to rescue the tiger and leopard riders, no matter how heavy the casualties are, they have to deal with them.

........

After half a pillar of incense, more than half of the casualties of the tiger and leopard riders were carried out by Xiahou Yuan and rushed in to rescue. The road ahead is dangerous, and there are ambushes. After discussing with Cao Chun, Xiahou Yuan could only retreat first.

This chase battle, which seemed to Cao Cao to be nine out of ten, ended in failure.

Cao Cao also understood that everything was Zhuge Liang's ghost.

According to his temper, he really wanted to transfer troops to Zhuge Liang's camp and wipe out all Zhuge Liang's troops. But reason told him that he couldn't do that. That would make you passive.

Mid-winter.

Wen Chou and the trial were defeated at the Weihe River and returned to Banpujin.

Yuan Xi ordered them to return to Yecheng.

This defeat was a big blow to the Hebei Army. Yuan Xi, Fu Zhu, Guo Tu, and Tian Feng never thought that the dignified 50,000 Bingzhou troops would be no match for the more than 10,000 Cao troops stationed in Chang'an.

This surprised everyone, and at the same time, they also remembered the name of one person, and that was Jiang Wei!

A boy who is only less than 18 years old, with more than 10,000 soldiers, defeated the Hebei Army, which is ugly and judged, which is really incredible.

Inside the Military Administration.

Yuan Xi mentioned again: "Jiang Wei is a rare talent, at first I wanted to try to recruit him, but because of the delay of foreign affairs, now the defeat of Weihe is enough to show Jiang Wei's talent, I think... He must be recruited! ”

"Officials."

"The minister is here." Frustration stepped forward.

Yuan Xi instructed: "Send a team of people with strong martial arts to Xuchang and bring Jiang Wei's family to Hebei." I want to take good care of Jiang Wei's family. ”

"Yes." Frustrated, he answered.

"Forget it, I'll send someone myself." Yuan Xi suddenly thought of a person, if she made a move, she would definitely be able to do the task of Wancheng.

"Is there any news coming from Yanmen Pass recently? The Xiongnu, Xianbei and Wuhuan, did they promise to negotiate peace? Yuan Xi asked.

"Chen just received a letter from Yanmen Pass, and he didn't have time to open it in a hurry. Please take a look. Frustrated Professor took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi opened it and looked: "It was sent by Min Rou." ”

In his letter, he said that in the camp of the Huns, he met a man who pleaded with him in every possible way, hoping to save his master... Cai Yan, the concubine of King Zuoxian of the Xiongnu. ”

"Cai Yan?"

Frustrated, he muttered, "I think I've heard this name... Is it the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yi? ”

"That's right, it's him." Tian Feng also knew Cai Yi.

Guo Tu said: "After Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Cai Yi was executed, and his daughter Cai Yan followed the fleeing refugees and wanted to return to her hometown in Hedong. But unfortunately he met the Huns on the way and was forcibly robbed. It's been more than ten years. I heard that she became the concubine of King Zuoxian, and gave birth to two sons to King Zuoxian. Unexpectedly, after so many years, she also asked someone to contact us and wanted to return to the Central Plains. ”

"How do you know so clearly?" Everyone thought it was incredible.

About Cai Yan, they only heard about it in the early years, and there was no news after that. I didn't expect Guo Tu to be able to say it in such detail.

"Cai Yan..." Yuan Xi knew that Cai Yan was a great beauty in the Three Kingdoms period, and she could compete with Jiangdong Erqiao and Hebei Zhen Mi. But Cai Yan's most commendable thing is not her appearance, but her talent.

Cai Yan is the youngest daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yi, and she has been familiar with all kinds of ancient books since she was a child. According to historical records, he was able to write 400 books silently, and made a great contribution after Cao Cao occupied the north and brought her back to China.

Now Cai Yan took the initiative to contact the envoy sent to the border to negotiate, and he must miss his homeland.

Yuan Xi's heart trembled, put away the letter and said: "Although she was in the Xiongnu and gave birth to two sons for King Zuoxian, she was forced by the situation and had to do it as a last resort. As a female streamer, more than ten years have passed, and she has not returned to China, this heart can be learned, much better than those who betray the country to seek glory, I am deeply moved. ”

Immediately replied to Min Rou and asked him to put forward an additional condition when negotiating, and this condition was to take Cai Yan back. As for the reason for taking Cai Yan back, let him think for himself. ”

"Yes."

Frustrated in response.

Cui Yan of the Ministry of Rites came out: "My lord, Jiangdong Sun Quan replied to the letter, saying that May 15 of the next year is an auspicious day for the zodiac. About the lord to send someone to Jiangdong to greet his relatives before March, you see... ”

Yuan Xi said: "Wen Chou, the trial and the defeat of the army, Xiliang is in danger, I want to go in person." The matter of welcoming relatives is handled by your Ministry of Rites. ”

"The lord is going to Xiliang?" "How many soldiers and horses are you going to bring with you?" ”

"This is a long way to Xiliang, and when passing through the Wei River, if a large army crosses, it will be intercepted by Jiang Wei. Then there will be another big war. We have just experienced failure, and the negotiations with the aliens have not yet been finalized, so it is not appropriate to use troops. So, I'll just go alone. Yuan Xi said.

"It's too dangerous for the lord to go alone." Guo Tudao.

"What's at stake? I have four disagreements, a hundred miles in an instant, who can hurt me? "Yuan Xi has never worried about his safety. If you can't beat it, you can run, and no one can catch up anyway.

"It's all gone."

Yuan Xi walked towards the barracks.

In a military camp in the far corner of the North School Field, find a wolf girl in a black night suit. Of course, she is not called the Sky Wolf Girl now, Yuan Xi has already given him the surname Yuan, the name Yuan Wolf.

"Wolf Yuan, how is your assassin training?" Yuan Xi asked.

"Do you want to try it?"

"Hehe... No, no, no. Yuan Xi waved his hand and said, "I believe that the assassins you trained must be highly skilled. I'm here for a very important task that you need to complete personally, I wonder if you'd like to? ”

Yuan Wolf was very cold, and said coldly: "Say." ”

"I want you to go to Xuchang, Cao Cao's lair, and bring back Jiang Wei's family. Because if you want to recruit Jiang Wei, you must let him have no worries. Yuan Xi explained briefly.
