Cai Mao's eyes widened, and she stared at the man: "Ah Zhong, what do you say, say it again!" ”

Cai Zhong cried bitterly and said: "Big brother, our grain and grass, 30,000 stone grain and grass have all been burned by Wei Yan!" ”

"Impossible!" Cai Mao shouted loudly: "Wei Yan is fighting with Cao's army in Langling, how could he go around behind our army and burn our grain and grass!" Ah Zhong, can you see clearly, it is Wei Yan himself who leads the leader? ”

Cai Zhong cried: "Big brother, I really see it, that person's face is like a heavy jujube, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, a black horse under his crotch, and a red blood knife in his palm, and I didn't even walk in front of him, he cut off the spear and knocked the horse unconscious, it must be Wei Yan who has such martial arts!" ”

"Sure enough, it's Wei Yan!" Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, and all the generals in the army turned pale. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Cai Mao asked again, "Don't you have 3,000 people?" How many centaurs did Wei Yan bring? Just take your battalion? ”

Cai Zhong didn't dare to say that he was drinking and playing with women at that time, and he didn't dare to say that Wei Yan only had a thousand people, so he seemed too incompetent, so he said: "It was late at night, and the mountains were full of Wei Yan's people and horses, and I couldn't tell how many there were, but it was estimated that there were at least 10,000!" ”

Cai Zhong never dreamed that Wei Yan's 10,000 horses that he made up in order to shirk the responsibility for the defeat would become a straw for Wei Yan to crush and defeat Cai Mao's army!

"Ten thousand horses!" Cai Mao was furious: "You lie! Wei Yan's people and horses are added together, less than 20,000 people, his main force fought with Cao Jun in Langling, and the three counties of Yiyang left another six or seven thousand men and horses, where did he get 10,000 horses! ”

Cai Zhong hurriedly cried: "Big brother, I really didn't lie, Wei Yan really has tens of thousands of horses!" ”

Zhang Yun frowned on the side and said, "Unless there is a possibility, Wei Yan defeats Cao's army, so that he can have 10,000 horses and horses around us and burn our grain and grass!" Just, how is this possible! Wei Yan's men and horses have been in the army for less than half a year, how can they defeat the 20,000 Cao army led by Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Zhong with more than 10,000 horses, how can it be! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a man covered in blood rushing into the account and shouted: "General Cai, General Zhang, two days ago, 20,000 horses and horses of Cao's army were completely annihilated by Wei Yan, and Cao Hong, Yu Ban, and Man Zhong were all captured by Wei Yan!" ”

"What! What did you say! Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were like hearing a thunderbolt from the sky, and they couldn't believe their ears at all.

That person was the meticulous work sent by Cai Mao and Zhang Yun to Langling to spy on the intelligence, and repeated the information just now.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun almost collapsed on the ground: "Wei Yan is so powerful!" ”

Cai Mao calmed down and asked, "Two days ago, the Cao army was annihilated by Wei Yan, why did you come to tell you at this time?" ”

Na Xiaozuo howled and cried: "In the past two days, more than a dozen of our brothers have all been captured by Wei Yan's men, and all the other brothers have been killed, and I was seriously injured, and I only escaped today......" After speaking, he vomited blood and vomited on the ground, and fainted.

After believing the news, Cai Mao was better, Zhang Yun sat directly on the ground, and said with a panicked face: "How is it possible, how is this possible, Wei Yan is only a little more than 10,000 men, how can he defeat Yu Ban and Cao Hong's 20,000 Cao soldiers, in the past, Cao Cao defeated a million Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, defeated Yuan Shu, the Black Mountain Army, and the Southern Xiongnu Coalition Army in Kuangting 600 miles, swept the Xuzhou Army, and almost wiped out Tao Qian, the strength of the army, except for Yuan Shao, no one can stop it, 20,000 Cao soldiers are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, how can Wei Yan be annihilated, this cold man, How can it be so powerful, I don't believe it, I don't believe it! ”

Cai Mao was slightly better than Zhang Yun, and said with a wry smile: "Now that the news of Ah Zhong and Xizuo are compared, Wei Yan did defeat the Cao army, and he did go around behind our army and burn our grain and grass, what should we do now?" What should I do? ”

Prior to this, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun mainly commanded the naval army, and basically did not lead the army to crusade against any party like this, but Liu Xian only believed in their two relatives, so he only sent the two of them over, and now Cai Mao showed his weakness, and now he was confused by the sudden two pieces of information, walking around the camp, and couldn't think of a reason for a long time, because his head was messed up.

Originally, he thought very beautifully, and when Wei Yan was defeated by Cao's army, they went to ambush Wei Yan and reap the benefits of the fisherman, but he didn't expect that not only did he not taste the benefits of the fisherman, but he was hit hard.

Now, in the big tent of the Chinese army, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are already so unbearable, and the other generals are even more unbearable, and they are all terrified.

There was only one person, very calm, he stepped forward and said to Cai Mao: "General Cai, now that the grain and grass have been burned, there is not much grain in the granaries of the nearby counties, and the three counties of Yiyang are strong and clear, there is no food in the army, and the army's morale will inevitably collapse, and it is no longer possible to continue the march. ”

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun fixed their eyes and saw that this person was the Yi nationality of the poor family they had ridiculed and despised before, and thought of the previous Yi nationality who persuaded them, "Wei Yan is a person who is very scheming, cunning and wise, even Cai Yang, Xiahou Yuan and other famous generals were defeated by Wei Yan, and the two generals must not be underestimated!" Cai Mao said, "But if you don't know the military, don't talk about the military, so as not to laugh at it, what kind of person Wei Yan is, his father is just a county lieutenant, forgive him for what he can do......"

Thinking of this, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's faces were hot, and they were a little shameless.

Now, they have no other choice but to withdraw their troops and return to Xiangyang according to the words of the Iraqi origin.

Along the way, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's nerves tensed for a while, they listened to Cai Zhong's words, thinking that Wei Yan really had 10,000 horses coming, and it was extremely likely to ambush them, so they had been very cautious, and the original marching speed was very slow, especially after passing through some roads with complex terrain, it was extremely slow.

But in this way, the grain and grass they transported from Yiqiu Ju to the camp before could have been supported until they were withdrawn to Xiangyang, but now less than half, people eat horses and chew, all of them are consumed, and then there is a shortage of food in the army, and then the news that Yiqiu Ju's military food was burned began to circulate in the army, and the morale of the army collapsed, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun desperately suppressed it, so as to avoid collapse, but more and more soldiers secretly fled due to hunger.

Subsequently, the grain storage in the two counties could not be managed for less than a day.

On this day, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were nervous for a day, and at dusk, they still did not encounter an ambush by Wei Yan's men and horses, they thought that Wei Yan's men and horses might have given up the ambush when they saw that they were marching cautiously.

When they came to a gentle hilly area, they saw that there was no suitable terrain for an ambush, so they relaxed and prepared to set up camp.

But at this moment, rumbling war drums suddenly sounded in all directions, and the drums shook the sky.

At the same time, from the dense forests of the hills and mountains, where it seemed that the cavalry could not be hidden, countless flags were displayed, and countless soldiers seemed to be shouting in unison in all directions: "Kill Cai Mao!" ”

"Kill Zhang Yun!"

"Kill!"

The shouts of killing were earth-shattering, as if tens of thousands of horses were ambushed.

Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were shocked: "Wei Yan really has an ambush!" ”

And at this time, there was a lot of smoke and dust from the northwest, as if tens of thousands of cavalry rushed over.

The scout reported: "General Cai! General Zhang! Big things are wrong! Zhang Xiu's general Hu Che'er led 20,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to kill! ”
