Chapter 998: Busy in vain
Time passed, and the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Battalion who had been ambushed fell asleep.
Wang Can and Dian Wei stayed up for half a night, and they were already tired, their eyes were closed, and they all snored after a while.
Shi Ah squinted his eyes and led the soldiers to keep a vigil and keep a sentry vigil. When it was time for Shi A to change the guard, Du Twelve rushed over from Lumen Mountain with three people. When Shi A saw Du Twelve, he felt strange at the moment, and asked in a low voice: "Twelve, the four of you stayed in Lumen Mountain, why did you come here with things?" ”
Du Twelve told the officers and soldiers about the siege of Lumen Mountain, and then said: "Wu Huang sent a message saying that you should not stay in one place all the time, you must change your position frequently, otherwise it will be easy to be discovered." ”
After hearing this, Shi A's face changed greatly.
Whereabouts leaked, this is a big deal.
Liu Bei's whereabouts were leaked a few days ago, and now Wang Can's whereabouts are leaked, which is really a big change.
Shi A immediately woke up Wang Can and told him about the situation in Lumen Mountain.
Immediately, Shi A said solemnly: "Lord, Zhuge Liang, Sun Gan and Liu Bei are all in the army and have been protected, even if we set up an ambush, it is useless." Besides, Zhuge Liang is as cunning as a fox, a thief and a thief, we are not in Lumen Mountain, he must be worried that he will be ambushed, I think Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei are not easy to be fooled. ”
Wang Can said in a deep voice: "If the news leaks, Liu Biao will definitely send someone to search for it, so what we have to do now is to think of a strategy to deal with it." Let's retreat immediately, find a hidden place to hide first, and then wait for the opportunity to move. ”
Wang Can made a decision and immediately took people away.
……
At the foot of Lumen Mountain, nearly 10,000 soldiers did not sleep.
All the soldiers opened their eyes and waited for dawn, and then waited to encircle and suppress Wang Can. I have to say that Zhuge Liang is cautious and cautious, and if the rest of the people lead the army, it is likely that he will encircle and suppress Lumen Mountain overnight. But Zhuge Liang did things steadily, choosing to raid at night, and then choosing to act in the morning, in order to be completely sure.
The soldiers were in poor spirits, but Cai Mao and Liu Bei were in good spirits.
Cai Mao's mind is full of killing Wang Can, making great contributions, and getting rid of the current situation that is not embarrassing or embarrassing.
Liu Bei was bent on revenge, and the hatred in his heart filled his chest, making it difficult for him to sleep. And when Cai Mao thought of killing Wang Can, she was extremely excited, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
On the contrary, it was Zhuge Liang, who squinted his eyes and seemed to be asleep. However, in fact, Zhuge Liang also had difficulty sleeping, and he just pretended to be calm. The first time he led people to encircle and suppress Wang Can, there was a string in his heart, and it was difficult to relax. Killing Wang Can is all Zhuge Liang's current thoughts, and everything revolves around Wang Can.
The night was quiet, but the soldiers couldn't help but doze off.
Many soldiers could not bear it and simply slept with their eyes open in order to recuperate their spirits. As for Zhuge Liang, Cai Mao, Liu Bei and Yi, none of them spoke, waiting quietly.
There was no word and silence all night.
The next day, there was a touch of fish belly white in the sky, Cai Mao was in good spirits, and a bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes. Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei also woke up suddenly, as if they had walked out of the chaos and haze, saw the dawn of heaven and earth, and had a feeling of waking up from a big dream.
They sat all night, and there was already dew in their hair.
The clothes have also become a little moist.
It didn't take long for the red sun to rise from the east, and the golden sunlight sprinkled down, shining on Cai Mao, Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and others, making several people have an extra layer of golden luster, which is extremely sacred.
Cai Mao said: "Kong Ming, it's dawn, let's search the mountain." ”
Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "General Cai, according to the original plan, pay attention to the search from all directions, and you can't let go of one place, you must be careful, and there can be no mistakes." ”
Cai Mao said; "Don't worry, I'll save it."
At that moment, Cai Mao ordered the soldiers to search the mountain one by one. Such a carpet search, no matter where they are hiding, no matter what jackals, tigers and leopards are in the mountains, they must be searched. In particular, the 10,000 soldiers are all elite, and the strength is sufficient, as long as there is an abnormal movement in one place, the rest of the soldiers can immediately support, hiding in the mountains There is almost nowhere to escape.
Wang Can was able to avoid the search, it was completely luck.
He went to kill Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, and Liu Bei came to kill him.
Both sides laid a wide net, but unfortunately both sides definitely got nothing in the end.
It's just that Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and Cai Mao are still full of expectations and have been waiting for news at the bottom of the mountain. Zhuge Liang was sure that Wang Can was in the mountains, and he would definitely not be wrong.
An hour later, the soldiers in the mountains were still searching, but none of them were found.
Two hours later, the soldiers continued.
……
In the middle of the day, the soldiers were still working diligently. Their strategy was a carpet raid, so they went up the hill inch by inch. Although this kind of manhunt is inescapable, the speed is quite slow, and by the time the sun reaches overhead, the thatched hut where Wang Can lives has not yet been found.
Under the mountain, Cai Mao was already waiting impatiently.
He had suggested last night that Wang Can might not be there, and now there has been no movement for a long time, which makes him have a bad premonition in his heart, is the great opportunity going to disappear?
Liu Bei paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, glancing at the lush mountains and forests from time to time.
Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan gently, although he looked calm, but his palms were full of sweat, and he looked very nervous.
Yi also looked at the road leading to the mountains and forests expectantly, expecting a soldier to suddenly rush out and report that he had found Wang Can's traces. Just as he was thinking this, a soldier suddenly rushed out of the forest and ran down quickly. The soldier came to Liu Bei and Cai Mao, breathing very quickly, and wanted to open his mouth to speak, but felt that his throat was blocked.
The soldier runs too fast and exerts too much physical strength.
Liu Bei smiled and said, "Let's take a break." He was full of anticipation, thinking that he had discovered Wang Can's footprints. The same is true for Cai Mao and Zhuge Liang, both of whom are looking at the soldiers with anticipation.
After a few moments, the soldier was slightly better.
He clenched his fists and said, "General Cai, we found a grass house in the depths of the mountains and forests, which may be where Wang Can lives. ”
"Quick, lead the way."
Cai Mao didn't speak, so Liu Bei interjected and ordered.
Cai Mao also wanted to arrest Wang Can, but she didn't have the heart to worry about who would give orders to Liu Bei. Under the leadership of the soldiers, several people quickly ran towards the depths of the mountains and forests, and when they arrived at the grass house where Wang Can lived, it was empty. When Du Twelve left, he had already taken the important documents with him, and the rest were ordinary military books and so on, which were of no use.
Cai Mao and others found the grass house, but found nothing.
In the afternoon, the manhunt ended.
But the result made Zhuge Liang, Cai Mao and Liu Bei very disappointed, and even very depressed. Cai Mao was in a lost mood, and asked loudly with some madness: "Kong Ming, you said that Wang Can has been in the mountains, and now there is not even a figure, what should I do?" ”
Liu Bei was also disappointed, but he looked very tough.
Liu Bei looked at Cai Mao with his eyes, and said unhurriedly: "General Cai, Wang Can is very cunning and cunning, and it is normal that Wang Can was not caught. You also looked at the grass house in the depths of the mountains and forests, which is obviously where Wang Can lived, and it can also be inferred that Wang Can has been to Lumen Mountain, and he is still in Xiangyang, but we didn't catch it. ”
Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's subordinate, and of course Liu Bei has to maintain it.
After a pause, Liu Bei said again: "If we don't catch Wang Can, let's go back immediately and resume our lives." ”
When Cai Mao heard this, she was speechless for a while, and she was about to turn her face immediately. But he thought that Liu Biao suddenly took Liu Bei very seriously, so he endured it again and didn't tear his face with Liu Bei.
A group of people returned in vain.
