Chapter 142: Layout (3)

PS: Come on codeword! Step up your game.

"But I always feel that Cao Thief is not so easy to die!"

After listening to Tian Feng's exquisite part, Liu Bei still had some doubts, turned to face the sand table, and said softly.

"Hmmm! In the first battle of Shepankou, Cao Cao was basically a remnant, but his life should not be in danger. ”

Unexpectedly, Tian Feng did not deny Liu Bei's point of view, but directly admitted it, took a deep breath, and said: "The Snake Pankou Road will not pass through Chuyang, but directly lead to Jiangling!" But in between, there is still a road to go. ”

Liu Bei followed Tian Feng's train of thought, pointed to the canyon with clear indicators, and said softly: "Huarong Dao!" ”

"Exactly!" Tian Feng nodded heavily: "Similarly, Huarong Road is a small road, and the big road is garrisoned by the general Wei Yan, even if Cao Thief does not take Huarong Road, it is estimated that he will not survive." ”

Judging from the entire layout, it is indeed as Tian Feng said, Cao Thief has set up two ambushes, and at this time there are less than 100 horsemen beside him, whether he encounters Wei Yan or Guan Yu, he has only one way to die.

But Liu Bei still felt faintly uneasy, without the slightest sense of excitement about to kill the Cao thief.

The reason for this feeling Liu Bei was indescribable, and he couldn't tell the truth, but he was powerless to refute Tian Feng, so he could only accept it silently.

With his hands behind his back and staring at the sand table for a long time, Liu Bei finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I hope so!" ”

******

Escape again!

Even Cao Cao himself felt that he was lucky, if there was no desperate protection from Xu Chu, Le Jin, and Li Tong, it was likely that he would have died eight hundred times at this time!

But the dangerous situation was still not alleviated, and Cao Cao continued to move forward.

Another fork in the road, this time even Cao Cao hesitated, and even he didn't dare to make up his mind easily.

Jia Xu, who was behind him, finally stood up and bowed: "Lord! We can't go any further, no matter which way we go, as long as we go, there will inevitably be ambushes! ”

Cao Cao let out a long breath. He knows Jia Xu's ability, when Wancheng fought Zhang Xiu, he suffered a lot of losses in his hands, but since he took refuge in himself. Jia Xu lived in a simple and low-key manner.

Cao Cao knew why he was like this, so he didn't feel embarrassed by him, thinking about it carefully, every time Cao Cao encountered a problem. Jia Xu will always offer a plan, and this plan can always achieve unexpected results!

"Wenhe! Are you saying that there are ambushes on the main roads and small roads? Cao Cao frowned slightly: "This is impossible!" ”

Jia Xu saluted again with great certainty: "Lord! Wu Lin met Zhang Fei, although he was stopped by Zhong Kang, why didn't he chase him? Snake Pankou met Zhao Yun, although he was also blocked, he also did not chase after him? Isn't that strange? ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but gasp: "Wenhe! Could it be that they knew that there was an ambush ahead, so they didn't chase them? ”

Jia Xu nodded: "Except for this explanation, I really can't think of other factors." ”

"So what do you say you should do?" Cao Cao snorted: "You can't wait for death here!" ”

"That's right! We're just going to have to wait, until the ambush can't stop, or until our reinforcements arrive. Jia Xu said with great certainty: "In addition to this method." There is no other way. ”

Cao Cao pondered for a long time and was silent for a long time.

Cao Hong on the side sneered: "Wait!?" I'd rather be killed than starve! ”

At this time, it was close to evening, the sky began to become dark, Cao Jun had not eaten for a day, and there was originally a Huotou army following, but after two ambushes, all of them were gone.

Jia Xu saluted again: "Lord! There is a trap ahead, as long as you go, you will die! But as long as we can survive two days, Gangneung. Even reinforcements from Xiangyang will be able to come, and we will be really safe at that time. ”

Cao Cao also threw a question to Jia Xu: "Then what are we going to eat?" What to drink? ”

Jia Xu didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "Wild vegetables!" Grassroots! Bark! Stream! Anything can satisfy hunger, but avoid a little. Never start a fire. ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was shocked and sighed.

Cao Cao paused, a cruel smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, stared at Jia Xu with fine eyes, and waved his hand: "Zixiao!" Find a hidden place. We'll stay there tonight. ”

******

The news of Cao Cao's defeat at Chibi quickly swept through the entire land south of the Yangtze River like a plague.

Since Zhang Liao took over Cai Mao's position, he broke Xiangyang City in the shortest possible time, personally killed Liu Qi, the pastor of Jingzhou, and then swept the entire Jingxiang south with lightning speed, and now sits in Xiangyang.

The northern soldiers could not continue to stay on the front line because of the unsuitability of the water and soil, so Xiahou Yuan was responsible for relegating this part of the soldiers to the second line, and then sent them back to Wancheng little by little, and finally arrived in Xudu.

Xiahou Yuan sat in Jiangling, and with Zhang Liao, everything went smoothly.

But now the situation has changed, Cao Cao has been defeated and is fleeing all the way!

How could Xiahou Yuan, who was far away in Jiangling, not be worried, so he personally sent his eldest son Xiahou Heng and second son Xiahou Ba to each lead two thousand elite soldiers to the Chibi front line to rescue Cao Cao.

Sure enough!

The army had not yet arrived in Chuyang, and was ambushed by Wei Yan in the area of Huarong Road.

Xiahou Heng and Xiahou Ba both lost!

Xiahou Yuan was furious, eager to kill these two losers, but fortunately he was persuaded by Manzhong from the side, so that he was exempted from his crime and allowed to make meritorious contributions.

"Wonderful! Although Heng'er and Ba'er were defeated, they proved another thing. ”

Full Pet groaned slightly, and said.

At this time, Xiahou Yuan was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously circling, hearing this, he asked anxiously: "What's the matter?" ”

Man Pet said softly: "The lord is still here, Liu Bei didn't kill the lord!" ”

"But where is the lord?"

"According to the inference, the lord should be on the section between Shepankou and Huarong Road, and it is likely that he is hiding."

Xiahou Yuan nodded silently and said to himself: "Yes! There have been fierce battles in Wulin and Shepankou, but Huarong Dao is still very quiet, which is indeed very suspicious! The lord must have expected that there was an ambush ahead, so he stagnated! ”

"That's right! Right! Right! It must be so! As if he had found a panacea, Xiahou Yuan began to tremble with excitement.

Man Chong bowed slightly: "General Miaocai, without further ado, send someone to find it!" ”

Xiahou Yuan nodded and said, "Heng'er, Ba'er listen to orders!" ”

"The last general!"

"Order the two of you to lead a thousand troops each, go to Huarong Road to find out, if there is an ambush, don't fight, retreat quickly!"

"No!"

"Berning!"

"The last general!"

"You go with me to the mouth of the snake pan, follow the place where the lord walked, look for the lord little by little, at all costs, even if you turn over the entire Huarong Road, you must find the lord back for me!"

"No!" (To be continued.) )
