The battlefield had been silent for a long time, and Wei Yan personally interrogated the captured Yang Feng and other high-ranking generals, because so far, no trace of Dong Zhuo and Li Ru had been found. However, after some strict interrogation, he didn't get anything useful, and Wei Yan could only hope for Yu Ban, Pei Yuanshao, Pang Yi and others.

"How? Did you find Dong Zhuo? Wei Yan said the same thing for the third time, and Yu Ban on the other side shook his head in frustration, and said: "I have carefully screened the prisoners, and I have found no trace of Dong Zhuo, and I have also asked people to clean up the bodies of the dead one by one, and there is still no shadow of Dong Zhuo, even every tree and every bush of weeds at the foot of the mountain, I have carefully searched, and I still haven't found anything!" "In fact, there is no hope of finding Dong Zhuo's traces in the captives and corpses, because he is so outstanding, and he feels like he stands out from the crowd, and it is not so easy to get by.

"How so? Could it be that Dong Zhuo really grew wings and flew away? Wei Yan said incredulously.

Pei Yuanshao said: "Even if you grow wings and fly away, you can find them on the top of the mountain!" ”

Feng Ji shook his head and said: "Maybe Dong Zhuo really escaped, don't forget that as soon as the war came, our army used various methods to attack the enemy, among which there was a fire attack, this fire together, the valley was full of smoke, the line of sight was not good, coupled with the cover of the chaos of the battlefield, Dong Zhuo really escaped is not necessarily!" ”

Yu Ban said: "But as soon as the battle began, the mouths on both sides were tightened by our army, except for a few Xiliang troops at the beginning and end of the team, who saw the opportunity quickly and slipped away when they saw that it was not good, and never let an enemy escape after that." And Dong Zhuo has been walking in the middle of the team, it is impossible to rush out of the valley in such a short time! ”

"What's going on here? Now it's almost three feet off the ground! "Feng Ji Dao.

Wei Yan looked at the ravine next to the valley, walked to the cliff, leaned out and poked his head out to look out.

The annual flood washes the mountain wall extremely smooth, there are no shrubs on the cliff, only a few inches of wild grass grow tenaciously on it, the perennial flood makes the mountain wall almost straight down, and in some places even sunken in, it is impossible to climb down. Now it is almost the middle of winter, and there is not even a small puddle in the ravine under the cliff, but it is overgrown with thatch that is as tall as a person, which has long been withered and yellowed at this time, although it can also play a role in buffering a star, but jumping down like this, even if it is not to be crushed, it is impossible to live.

Wei Yan was very unwilling to let Dong Zhuo slip away like this, he didn't do his best work, he knew Dong Zhuo's prestige, if he let Dong Zhuo escape, after a few days, he would climb the heights and shout, and the entire Guanzhong, and even the entire Xiliang, would probably be infinitely harmful! Everyone searched around with Wei Yan's gaze, not to mention that Dong Zhuo was such an "outstanding" person, even a rabbit didn't want to slip away, they just did this to do some useless work to comfort themselves in despair, but in fact, they didn't repay even a little hope.

Suddenly, Wei Yan seemed to notice that something was wrong, but after a closer look, everything was normal, and he carefully checked the places he thought were problematic several times without blinking, but he still found nothing, he had doubts, so he refused to let go easily, and said, "Wen Ze, look there, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yu Ban had already noticed Wei Yan's abnormality, he had already checked it as carefully as Wei Yan, but he didn't find anything wrong, except for the rocks, it was weeds, could it be that Dong Zhuo could still be shaped? After hearing Wei Yan's words, he immediately shook his head and said, "No, it looks normal!" ”

In order to search for Dong Zhuo's traces, Pei Yuanshao had already stared at his eyes, and then let him stare his eyes like bull's eyes, he didn't want to, so he listened to him: "Since it's strange, let's take a closer look, many of them are gone, and now there is no time for a few steps?" He muttered as he strolled along.

Wei Yan thought of immortality in his heart, and after listening to Pei Yuanshao's words, he also felt reasonable, and followed, and Yu Ban and the others also followed quickly when they saw this.

"Nothing special!" Pang Yi said.

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and five or six pairs of eyes searched almost for a long time, and even the ants that crawled over the rocks they counted out the detailed numbers, but they still didn't find anything different.

Suddenly, a gust of mountain wind blew, and a gray figure floated up with the wind.

When this gray shadow floated up, Wei Yan immediately understood what he was strange, when he swept here before, there happened to be a gust of mountain wind blowing, and this figure also floated, but the mountain wind was fleeting, and he looked at it a little bit because of his long-term intently observed, when he felt inappropriate and looked closely, the mountain wind had passed, and the gray shadow fell into the cliff and disappeared, so naturally he found nothing. Fortunately, he persevered, and even listened to Pei Yuanshao's advice to check, and fortunately blew the mountain wind again at this time......

Wei Yan reached out and grabbed the gray shadow, but it was not snatched away, and everyone found out that it was a gray belt, one end was tied to the rhizome of two exposed trees I don't know what it was, and the two roots were the thickness of arms, and there was no problem with carrying the weight of three or four hundred catties, and the end that Wei Yan grabbed in his hand was cut off by some sharp weapon......

It turned out that Li Ru knew that the defeat was a foregone conclusion since he was attacked, and at that time, he whispered in Dong Zhuo's ear, and asked Dong Zhuo to take a few henchmen and use a rope made of a few belts, drop down under the ravine, hide in the thatched grass that is high, and wait until the enemy ends the battle, collects the troops and leaves, and then slowly slips away along the ravine. Dong Zhuo was once again persuaded by Li Ru's remarks that "stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood", and agreed to this suggestion. For this reason, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to sacrifice his two nephews and thousands of personal guards, so that they could lead the personal guards to launch a charge and make a desperate appearance of breaking through, so that even if the enemy could not find him afterwards, they would think that he had fled in the chaos, and they would not expect him to be in the ravine.

Originally, Li Ru told Dong Zhuo that he was seriously injured in his foot and had difficulty moving, and he planned to stay and be "loyal" to Dong Zhuo with Dong Ming and Dong Rong, but Dong Zhuo knew that if he wanted to make a comeback, he needed Li Ru's help, so he ignored Li Ru's opposition and ordered someone to tie him to a strong personal soldier, who fled under the ravine with Li Ru on his back.

Dong Zhuo's whereabouts are very secret, only Dong Ming, Dong Rong and a very small number of personal soldiers in the Xiliang army left at the foot of the mountain know, and when Dong Zhuo took Li Ru and more than a dozen personal soldiers down to the ravine, because of the urgency of time, Dong Ming did not have time to untie the rope, but chose to cut it with a knife, and as a result, it was left more than a foot long, although the falling section was taken away by the people under the ravine, but the section left on the root of the tree was blown up by the mountain wind and was detected by Wei Yan......

Wei Yan didn't expect this, but it was not difficult for him to think that Dong Zhuo must be hiding in the ravine, and sure enough, when he cast his eyes under the ravine, he saw something unusual in the thatch in the ravine......

"Ah, Dong Zhuo is ...... below" Pei Yuanshao immediately said with great joy, although the long thatch hid the traces of the people inside, he didn't even see half a figure at all.

Everyone had no doubt about Pei Yuanshao's words, although there was no figure in the thatch's movement, everyone knew very well that there must be someone underneath, and they could also expect that it must be the people below who saw Wei Yan and found out about the belt after discovering it, so they began to flee for their lives......
