Zhou Yu has not appeared, for this result, Yuan Yun felt very confused, it stands to reason that when the explosion mechanism was set up in Chaisang City, the people of the whole city had been blown out, and martial law was carried out, and the news was impossible to leak, but now it is obvious that the other party has seen through it, so he has no intention of coming to this thunder at all.

At present, the situation is no longer as clear as before, and Cao Cao is anxious about Cao Cao on the north bank of Chibi, so Yuan Yun, at the suggestion of Zhuge Liang, is ready to withdraw from the boundary of Yangzhou, and then return to Paxia along the road he came, and then pass through there to pass through Xiangyang, and once again control the core area of Jingzhou.

If Cao Cao's army had crossed the river at that time, then the form of the world would have been basically determined, and Liu Bei of Yizhou had become a complete trapped beast, Cao Ang only needed to hold Hanzhong and prevent him from going north, and his side would control Xiangyang, seal all roads, and wait until the Sun family in Yangzhou completely surrendered, and then he could start a real cut down on Shu.

"After we leave, do these blasting devices in Chaisang City need to be removed?" When Zhao Yun asked, the gunpowder army had already assembled at the West City Gate.

Yuan Yun glanced at Zhuge Liang beside him, and the latter immediately smiled: "The lord has spent so much effort to arrange it, then the lord will decide for himself." ”

Yuan Yun nodded and smiled: "Let's stay, if it is demolished, we will at least delay it for five or six days, after all, it is much more difficult to dismantle than to install, I have already ordered Xiao Liu to take a few people to stay, if Zhou Yu sees us withdrawing, maybe he will come to occupy it again, then a fire can eliminate the threat of our rear, so don't waste it." ”

Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan lightly when he heard this, and then pointed to the front of the army and said: "Then let's set off now, we have swept all the surrounding areas of Chaisang, and we have not come in vain, and we can concentrate on dealing with the affairs in Jingzhou after returning this time." ”

After Zhao Yun got the order, he waved the wolf tooth spear and shouted: "Scouts lead the way, the army is leaving!" ”

Yuan Yun didn't ride on the frame this time, but rode side by side with Zhuge Liang, not that he didn't want to ride, but now he hoped that the cold of the snow could calm down his chaotic brain.

It wasn't until he thought that Cao Cao might be assassinated that Yuan Yun first found out that he had a deep attachment to this era and some people in this era, such as Cao Cao, the demon god, although the other party made him quite uncomfortable many times, but when he thought that he was likely to fall, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

And if Cao Cao is really assassinated, then Cao Pi's purge will inevitably come in an instant, and many of Cao Cao's previous subordinates will inevitably be implicated, such as Xu Yi's father Xu Chu, or Xiahou Nan's father Xiahou Xuan, and even those strategists who have been fighting with him before.

The army has left Chaisang for fifty miles, looking at the white snow between the distant mountains, I don't know if it is the reason in my heart, or the reason for the snow, there is a gray feeling, no longer as white as before, it is dazzling, at this moment the mountain wind is also very strong, every time it blows between the neck, it is as uncomfortable as a knife cut.

Tightening his collar slightly, Yuan Yuncai asked Zhuge Liang, "Are there any chasing soldiers around?" ”

Zhuge Liang shook his head and said: "No one has returned to report, but this makes Liang a little uneasy, according to common sense, even if Zhou Yu does not plan to pursue, he will send scouts to follow us, so as to play a role in reconnaissance and prediction, but we have been out for almost half a day, there is not a scout around, not even a single common person has not met, and the few villages we have passed through have been empty, and even chickens, ducks and dogs have not seen a single one." ”

Yuan Yun frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that the situation is not as optimistic as we thought, will Zhou Yu set up an ambush?" ”

Zhuge Liang pulled the horse's head slightly when he heard this, then turned his head to look at the mountains on both sides, and finally nodded: "It is very likely that Zhou Yu is not an ordinary person, let him do nothing, and let us withdraw so comfortably, it is definitely not his style." ”

After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he immediately ordered an entourage on his side: "General Zhao Yun slows down the march, we don't want to be fast, we just want to be more secure, we must make sure that there are cavalry on the left and right flanks, and the scouts will be released in batches for a hundred miles, and they will be reported every half an hour, and all the hot air balloons will be lifted into the air to ensure the vision around the army." ”

The attendant immediately clenched his fists and took the order, and then galloped out like a meteor on horseback, and in less than a moment of incense, the speed of the army slowed down, and the surrounding mountain roads could occasionally see those Hu cavalry began to wander.

Yuan Yun saw Zhuge Liang's cautious arrangement, and his heart was also relaxed, so he continued: "Shi Yuan is going to the north bank of Chibi, I hope it can be in time, if there is really something unexpected for Prime Minister Cao Cheng, if we want to unify the world, I am afraid it will be many years later." ”

Zhuge Liang was stunned when he heard this, and said with a hearty smile in an instant: "The lord seems to have made a plan in his heart, if Cao Pi really succeeds this time, we in Luoyang will immediately stand on the opposite side of him, and this must not be hesitated."

Before, Liang was worried that the main guild would hesitate, but now he is a lot more relieved, now as long as he returns to Luoyang, we can find a way to persuade Cao Ang Shizi, once the worst happens, the first thing we have to do is to unite with General Cao Hong in Wancheng, whether it is a threat or a lure, we must let him compromise, and secondly, we need troops to enter Xudu, so that Cao Pi can not move, and finally divide the troops to seize Hanoi County, and make a posture of coercing the four northern states, so that Luoyang can settle down. ”

Yuan Yun nodded helplessly, then waved his horsewhip in the air, and then smiled bitterly: "I originally planned to retire early, so that I could go to the wild to become a farmer, but now it seems that this hard life is still going to endure." ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled bitterly and said: "Liang has a grand wish, that is, I hope that the people of the world will get peace and joy as soon as possible, and now, as the lord said, if the situation really develops into an unpredictable, we can only break everything and start over."

However, Liang is full of confidence in Luoyang, even if we do it all over again, we can drive out all enemies in the near future, and then let the world be unified again, with our current strength in Luoyang, as long as we don't make big mistakes, we should be able to do it easily. ”

Yuan Yun was incomparably confident by Zhuge Liang's words, laughed, and said loudly: "Since Cao Pi and Sima Yi are so disregarding the overall situation, Lao Tzu has no intention of keeping his hands, first of all, we must give them a cruel lesson, and if we fight with Lao Tzu, we must be conscious of losing all our pants." ”

Zhuge Liang also smiled heartily and said, "The lord flew pigeons to Deng Ai the day before yesterday, it seems that he is planning to trick people again, right?" ”

The corners of Yuan Yun's mouth raised slightly, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just to ask Deng Ai to put a few fires in Xudu, when it comes to the ability to set fires, I, Yuan Yun, am everyone, I think whoever has a fire in the house, I guarantee that their house will burn for a few days, haha." ”

Zhuge Liang saw that the depression on Yuan Yun's face was finally swept away, and his mood was also much relieved, and now Yuan Yun in front of him was actually the backbone of Luoyang to deal with various situations in the future, as long as he was in good condition, then any difficulties would not be considered difficult.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang looked at the mountains on the left and right again, and was secretly alert in his heart, it was impossible for Zhou Yu not to take action, so the ambush was inevitable, but he didn't know where he would set up an ambush, in this case, ensuring Yuan Yun's safety was the top priority, even if all the more than 30,000 gunpowder soldiers here were buried, Yuan Yun must be allowed to return smoothly, which will be the most important bargaining chip in Luoyang in the future.

Yuan Yun is indeed in a much more cheerful mood at the moment, no matter what happens, in fact, it is logical that it cannot be shaken off, so it is better to face it directly, at least this is also a choice, and it is the most correct choice, if you choose to escape, you will find that even if you get a short period of peace, but the problem itself will always haunt you, so that you have not been able to get relief.

Now that he has figured these things out, Yuan Yun is no longer entangled in the changes on the Chibi side, no matter what the result is, he needs to adjust his mood now, and then start making the next plan, only those who are good at anticipation and planning can get the final victory.

After being enlightened by Zhuge Liang, his mood is now much soothed, and Yuan Yun also feels a little poetic when he looks at the distant mountains, but those gray mountain roads seem very unsuitable for this poetic feeling.

Yuan Yun looked at it, suddenly stunned, and in an instant, he was shocked: "It's not good, Zhou Yu is here!" ”

Zhuge Liang was a little stunned when he heard Yuan Yun say this, and then followed Yuan Yun's eyes to look at those gray mountain roads, and immediately reacted, so he immediately shouted: "The front and rear armies stop and prepare for battle in place!" ”

The reason why those gray mountain roads look gray is not because of the snow, after all, even if the snow is melting, it will not show gray, so there is only one possibility, that is, it has been trampled by a large area, and after leaving so many footprints, it naturally looks like gray from a distance.

Zhuge Liang's order was issued, and the sound of rumbling horses' hooves had already been heard on both wings, obviously the enemy's cavalry had begun to launch a group charge, looking at the momentum, the number of the other party was definitely quite large.

The Gunpowder Corps, with the help of the generals, quickly released the wire mesh and tripwires, the infantry battalion bore the brunt of the outermost position, the rifle battalion began to line up to load, the artillery battalion began to unload the artillery at the first time, and chose the best place to set it up, and the shells quickly entered the hall.

After Zhao Yun received Zhuge Liang's order again, he immediately withdrew the Hu cavalry sent out, and began to withdraw towards the periphery, he relied on his natural military general characteristics, he had clearly felt that the enemy was coming this time with extraordinary ferocity, and judging from the sound of the horse's hooves, this group of enemy troops was definitely not the miscellaneous soldiers led by Sun Quan before.

While everything was still going on in the Gunpowder Army, the black-pressed cavalry suddenly rushed out between the mountains and forests on both sides, their speed was extremely fast, and the bows and crossbows were constantly shooting from the horses, almost obscuring the sky.

If it weren't for the infantry battalion's quick shield, such casualties would continue, and those flying arrow feathers still fell like rain, and even hit Yuan Yun's mount, causing Yuan Yun to be thrown out directly, fortunately, the landing point was relatively soft snow, otherwise this fall would be enough for Yuan Yun to drink a pot.

Zhuge Liang immediately ordered his own soldiers to protect Yuan Yun, and he rode his horse to the front, and then the artillery battalion had begun to shoot, the cannon continued to explode, and billowing smoke began to rise not far away, but these still could not stop the charge of Zhou Yu's cavalry, they could almost be described as desperate, everyone scrambled to be the first, and the fighting spirit was high.
