CHAPTER 165 THE GUIDE

Huang Zhong explained to Zhang Wei: "Don't worry, Boqi, I didn't say that I want to fight hard with the enemy, we can harass and raid, just set fire to their grain trucks, and grab some grain by the way." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Anyway in the mountains, they don't run as fast as us. ”

Zhang Wei worried: "We are now behind enemy lines, if our whereabouts and troops are exposed, if we don't grab the food, but are entangled by others, we may be wiped out." ”

Wei Yan immediately said again: "You also said earlier that you must get food, grabbing food is to harass the enemy army and force Cao Cao to retreat." ”

Huang Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Boqi, these people under our command now, when it comes to fighting a big battle, the troops are not enough, but if you want to flee for your life, it is not difficult to escape back to Hanzhong in a group of three or five people." ”

Zhang Wei Yileng, Huang Zhong is right, if he really only cares about escaping, these people can really disappear into the mountains without a trace, and once the people are scattered, Cao Jun can't find it if he wants to.

Seeing that Zhang Wei no longer argued, Huang Zhong breathed a sigh of relief, this team, although he has the highest military rank, but it is subordinate, and the two hundred people with the smallest number of people, the lowest rank of military chief, but they are on behalf of the military generals, the relationship is really a bit complicated.

And when it comes to mountain combat ability, those people under me are still a lot worse than others.

Besides, I really don't want to go back like this, I'm so old, I go back empty-handed, and there is no place to put my old face.

Huang Zhong settled down and concluded: "Okay, we have to reach an agreement now. The situation is much more complicated than we began to think, not only because we have suffered too much on the road, but also because we did not expect that there are so many enemy troops here, so we are now sure that we can only harass them. Stealing food is the best harassment! And so it was settled. Come, let's ask them again and figure out the situation here. ”

Wei Yan returned to the two captives and continued to interrogate, "Now how many people are still here?" ”

"And, six or seven thousand."

"Where are your food stockpiled?"

"It's all in Xiacheng City, and it's under the personal care of General Xiahou."

This guy really doesn't let go of the food.

"Then when will the food be delivered this time?"

"Three days later, no, maybe four days later. My lord, how can we be sure of this? ”

Huang Zhong came over and said to Wei Yan: "Wen Chang, I'll ask, I'll ask them." ”

Wei Yan got up and stepped aside to see what Huang Zhong was going to ask.

Huang Zhong asked the captive: "You said, since you Xiahou are so close to food, then along the way, in addition to sending troops to escort it, did you use any other methods?" ”

The captive replied: "Yes, in fact, in order to prevent you from sneaking attack, the prime minister has set up many checkpoints along the way from Xia to Hanzhong, almost every ten miles, there will be a checkpoint. ”

"Oh, it seems that Cao Cao is still quite careful, fortunately we have been walking in the mountains." Huang Zhong asked again, "How many people are stationed at each level?" ”

"Thirty to fifty. And there will be patrols going back and forth between each level. ”

Huang Zhong nodded, and looked back at Wei Yan, which means that you can ask a lot of things if you look at it, ask slowly, and ask from a different angle.

After discussing it, several people made a plan to rob the grain, retreated to the vicinity of the Cao Jun checkpoint in the back and waited, and first sent Zhou You and a few people to the front to observe the movement.

Huang Zhong looked at the snowflakes floating in the sky again, and couldn't help touching his stomach: "Alas, I have to wait for three or four days, I'm cold and hungry, where to get some food first." ”

Wei Yan was happy: "If you go down a little bigger, you can completely cover up the traces of the interception we just went out." Old general, why don't we divide the troops. I'll take my men and horses to the other side of the mountain, and see what is going on there, and maybe I'll be able to get something to eat. ”

"Do you want to divide the troops? Isn't there enough people in the first place? Huang Zhong disagreed.

Wei Yan explained: "Now that the target location has been determined, we will be able to meet there across the mountain tomorrow, and since it is a latent harassment, the fewer the personnel, the less likely it is to be exposed." ”

Huang Zhong thought about it: "Then divide the troops, don't run around on your own initiative." By the way, you just said that you were going to go to the other side of the mountain to get food? Well, leave us all the horse meat. ”

This is too much, Wei Yan hurriedly said: "Old general, you ......"

"We've almost wiped out all the wild things on the mountain here, but not yet. When you get there, you can get some more, we don't have anything here. What Huang Zhong said seems to make a lot of sense.

Wei Yan was speechless, ruthless, and actually agreed.

Huang Zhong explained: "Actually, what I mean is that you have to explore the way over there, and those sergeants who are already sick should follow me." We went back the same way, it wasn't that difficult, but we couldn't let the sick and wounded have nothing to eat. ”

Anyway, your official is bigger than me, no matter what you say, you are justified, Wei Yan does not argue, and at the same time, maybe when you get to the mountains over there, you can really get a lot of food.

When Zhang Wei heard that Wei Yan was going to bring over the two hundred people he led on behalf of the military division, he insisted that he also go to the other side.

Wei Yan disagreed: "You are now a wounded and sick, so you should follow the old general to recuperate here." ”

Zhang Wei retorted: "The military advisor entrusted me to lead this team, and I can't leave them. ”

Huang Zhong had no choice but to reconcile again: "Boqi, you follow me." I still need your help. In this way, what about the two hundred people in Boqi, except for the injured and sick, you can take a hundred, and I will send another hundred men to follow you. Alas, I'm an old man, and it's okay to bring a little old, weak, sick and disabled subordinates. ”

Wei Yan was not polite, he agreed immediately, and immediately asked Huang Zhong to send someone to him, and at the same time check the health of his three hundred people, and see that it was not tight, there were nearly 100 people who were sick.

But he couldn't say anything more, Wei Yan let the hundred injuries of his men stay, and then counting the two hundred people assigned by Huang Zhong and Zhang Wei, there were also four hundred people, and at that moment, together with Huang Zhong, the ten guides were also divided, and even the two prisoners were also brought one each.

Zhang Wei had already paid attention to the injuries and illnesses of the team, and said to Huang Zhong: "Old general, now you and I have a total of five hundred, and most of them are wounded and sick, can we still fight?" ”

Huang Zhong said magnanimously: "It's okay, we can still recuperate for a few days." ”

Wei Yan led his men and horses, took advantage of the wind and snow to quickly cross the road and enter the opposite mountain forest.

At this time, a guide came to Wei Yan to discuss: "General, five miles from here, is the village where I used to live, I want to go back and have a look, maybe I can get some food back." ”

Wei Yanzheng was worried about eating, and almost jumped up when he heard this: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" (To be continued.) )
