Cao Peng didn't do anything!

When the war drums rumbled, the valley became a pot of porridge.

Lei Xu's soldiers and horses were not all composed of the Yellow Turban Army back then. In fact, after the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army and the collapse of the whole army, Lei Xu took the remnants of the defeated army and ran around, successively taking refuge in many armies, including the Qingzhou Yellow Turban who was taken away by Cao Ying...... In the past, his subordinates were almost completely killed and wounded. The 300 people in his hand were still defeated from Qingzhou, and the remnants of the army were defeated.

The rabble!

This is Cao Peng's evaluation of this team.

When the drums of war sounded, everything was thrown into chaos...... Even Lei Xu was a little flustered.

If he had stayed in the valley at that time, he might have been able to stabilize the morale of the army. But as soon as he went out, these thieves lost their restraints.

King Cao Peng bought people and slipped into the valley.

They soon found the cave where the thieves kept their horses.

Outside the cave, there were no soldiers and horses guarding it. So the group easily slipped into the hole.

In these years, elite soldiers are hard to find, and elite cavalry is even more rare. Don't look at Lei Xu snatched more than a hundred war horses, in fact, there are not many people in his hands who are good at riding battles. The reason for asking for a horse is actually to travel. As Cao Ying gradually gained a foothold in Yuzhou and sent Xiahou Yuan out of the town of Chenliu, the activity space of Lei Xu and others became smaller and smaller, and even struggling.

At this time, Lei Xu moved his mind to leave Chen Liu.

He's got a place to go!

As soon as Hu Ban's last vote is finished, he will start to act...... Don't think that he is so affectionate to Zhou Cang, it is really the love of the robe. More reason, or Lei Xu thought of a good idea.

He felt that Zhou Cang's robbery of the Wei family's goods would inevitably alarm Xiahou Yuan.

said that he wanted to cover Zhou Cang, and he had already made plans in his heart to let Zhou Cang attract Xiahou Yuan's attention. Then, according to the original plan, he stormed Yongqiu, and after a raid, he quickly evacuated Chenliu County. By the time Xiahou Yuan reacted, he was thousands of miles away.

It's just that Lei Xu didn't expect that when he was calculating Zhou Cang, someone was also secretly calculating him!

In the cave of Tunma, the guards were very lax.

Five or six grooms, awakened by the commotion outside, got up in a daze and peeked out.

"Hell!"

A groom was startled when he saw Cao Peng and the others.

It turned out that when Cao Peng was lurking, he asked everyone to smear muddy water on their faces.

The light was dim, and their faces were pitch black, and they looked particularly terrifying. Wang Mai didn't wait for the groom to shout the second sentence, rushed up and dropped the knife in his hand, and slashed the other party to the ground. With Cao Peng's subordinates, he did not hesitate and rushed forward. The grooms didn't even figure out what was going on, and they were cut down and fell in a pool of blood by Wang Mai and others.

From beginning to end, Cao Peng didn't do it at all!

It's not that he doesn't want to do it, it's that he doesn't have time to do it...... The speed at which Wang bought these people was too fast! After experiencing the Sunset Gathering and the Nine Women's City fighting repeatedly, Wang Mai killed people, even more fierce than Cao Peng. That knife went down, fast and ruthless, the knife killed, between advance and retreat, there seemed to be such a terrifying murderous aura.

Murderous aura sounds very empty, but it is real.

In other words, murderous spirit is a kind of temperament...... If you haven't killed anyone, you can't have such a temperament if you haven't experienced it between life and death.

This thing is not something that can be practiced.

Dian Man and Xu Yi's skills are higher than Wang Mai. But if you fight in battle, the victory or defeat is still between the two.

After Wang Mai dealt with the grooms, he looked at Cao Peng. Cao Peng nodded and made a gesture to Wang Mai!

"Get the horses out!"

Wang Mai immediately ordered to pick up a torch from the cave wall.

The ten servants hurriedly began to move, untying all the reins of the war horses, and at the same time drove them out of the cave.

"Let's withdraw!"

Cao Peng waved his hand and walked out.

The servants hurriedly followed, and Wang Mai walked last, and threw the torch on the haystack.

The hay meets the flames and quickly burns. When the horses saw the fire, they panicked and neighed and rushed out of the cave.

At this time, Cao Peng and the others had already merged with Dianman Xiahou Lan.

"How's it going?"

"Everything is working ......"

"Find Uncle Zhou and Hu Ban as soon as possible, and then let's find a place to hide."

The fire is up, and the officers and soldiers have arrived!

For Cao Peng, his task can be regarded as complete.

In this case, if Xiahou Yuan can't solve Lei Xu anymore, then he won't be Xiahou Yuan. Therefore, Cao Peng is very relieved, and he doesn't even have a burden at all. It's just that with such a big mountain valley and so many caves, it is not easy to find Zhou Cang.

Cao Peng met several groups of thieves along the way, and the other party surnamed Suo was all in twos and threes.

The halberd flew out and knocked out the opponent with ease. encountered a large number of thieves, Cao Peng and the others did not fight hard, and dodged early.

"Ah Fu!"

Cao Peng overheard someone shouting his name.

Looking up, I saw Zhou Cang taking Hu Ban out of a stone room.

"This way."

Zhou Cang was covered in blood, and there were blood beads dripping from the long knife.

Hu Ban's face was as pale as paper, and he followed closely behind Zhou Cang, trembling all over.

He is just an idler in Gao Yang Pavilion, and he is a good hand at stealing chickens and dogs, but when it comes to killing, Hu Ban is not even as good as Deng Ji.

"Uncle Zhou, how are you over there?"

Cao Peng hurriedly ran over and stopped beside Zhou Cang.

Looking over from Zhou Cang's side, he saw that in the stone room, there were seven or eight dead corpses, all of which were obviously Zhou Cang's masterpieces.

"I thought I could be stopped by sending a few thieves!"

Zhou Cang sneered, "Lei Zijian, you also underestimated me." ”

"Let's talk about it first."

Cao Peng was relieved to see that Zhou Cang and Hu Ban were fine. He dodged into the stone room, followed by Wang Maidianman, and Zhou Cang and Xiahou Lan were on guard behind the door of the stone room.

The number of people was counted, and there were no casualties.

In the valley of the mountain pass, it has become a mess. The thieves ran for their lives, shouting incessantly.

One by one, the war horses rushed towards the outside of the valley like crazy, causing the exit of the valley to become chaotic and crowded together.

The drums of war, getting closer!

The shouts of the officers and soldiers were faintly heard.

Cao Peng suddenly smiled and said, "Hu Ban, you can rest assured this time." ”

"Rest assured what?"

"Goyotei...... At least there won't be any more thieves. You can also have an explanation for stealing horses, just say that you found the traces of thieves, and in order to maintain the safety of Gaoyang Pavilion, you have to make compromises and get involved. What he did was to wait for an opportunity to catch all the thieves. ”

"Huh?"

Hu Ban was stunned and a little dazed.

It turns out that this truth can be said like this?

"In the art of war, you call this death!"

"Dead?"

"Even if Lei Xu is caught, I don't want to drag you into the water."

When Cao Peng spoke, he had a breezy temperament.

The chaos outside the stone exterior didn't seem to have anything to do with him. It is precisely this temperament that eases the originally somewhat depressing atmosphere a lot.

Dian Man said with a smile: "In this way, this ramming goods is not only not guilty, but also has made a great contribution." ”

Cao Peng smiled, did not answer the topic, but walked to the door of the stone room.

At this moment, Hu Ban's whole person is like falling into a dream. It took him a long time before he came to his senses and stammered, "Have I made a meritorious service?" ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Xiahou Yuan did not bring many soldiers and horses this time, only 800 people.

But these 800 people are the most elite soldiers under his command. It's not that Chen Liu doesn't have elite soldiers, but because Xiahou Yuan can't act rashly.

A small thief is not worth his attention at all.

If Xu Yi hadn't asked him for help, Xiahou Yuan might not have been able to manage Lei Xu. What really made Xiahou Yuan decide to send troops was Xu Yi telling him that Lei Xu was going to sack Yongqiu and then flee from Chenliu County. Xiahou Yuan, as the Taishou of Chen Liujun, would definitely not sit idly by and watch this kind of thing happen. If Yongqiu was really ransacked by Lei Xu, then in the future, he would be in front of Cao Ying, but it would be a little difficult to speak!

The officers and soldiers did not rush to attack.

Instead, to the sound of rumbling war drums, they moved towards the hiding place of the thieves.

A rabble, how can they be the opponent of these eight hundred warriors. Along the way, the thieves were almost defeated. Lei Xu took care of one thing and the other, and did not command his subordinates to resist in time. So these thieves are like a group of dragons without a leader. Except for resisting a little at first, he never had the heart to fight again. Everyone, when they heard the sound of war drums, they retreated in a hurry, where did they dare to confront the officers and soldiers head-on...... "Ah Fu, look! ”

Zhou Cang suddenly pointed outward.

Following the direction of Zhou Cang's finger, Cao Peng saw a group of people and ran into the valley in embarrassment.

"That short man, it's Lei Xu!"

Cao Peng's eyes couldn't help narrowing, and a flash of light flashed.

Lei Xu has a connection with Xue Zhou, and Xue Zhou is a Guangling thief and a well-known pirate.

The chaos in Haixi is inseparable from Xuezhou...... If Deng Ji wants to gain a foothold in Haixi, he must fight with Xuezhou.

Then, Deng Ji is facing a problem.

Is there someone else hiding behind Xue Zhou?

Perhaps, you can find clues from Lei Xu's body...... Thinking of this, Cao Peng gently pulled out the steel knife.

"Follow Lei Xu!"

"Huh?"

"I want to inquire about the situation in Xuezhou from this guy."

Zhou Cang and Xia Houlan suddenly showed a look of surprise.

Cao Peng turned his head to Wang Mai and said, "Third brother, Brother Hutou, you stay here and wait for General Xiahou to arrive." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Uncle Zhou and I, go do something."

Wang Mai immediately said, "I'll go too!" ”

"Brother Tiger Head, you all stay here, don't act rashly. If there are too many people, it is easy to have accidents...... With Uncle Zhou and Xiahou here, it is enough to top thousands of troops. Third brother, don't move. We have the chance to win, and if there are casualties at this time, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"But ......"

Cao Peng's face sank, "You promised me that everything will be at my disposal, this is an order!" ”

Wang Mai and Dianman still wanted to argue, but their mouths opened, and in the end they still obeyed their promises.

After Cao Peng and the three of them glanced at each other, they dodged and rushed out of the stone room. Wang Mai and Dianman immediately took up the seats on both sides of the gate and looked out.

"Old Seven, what the hell is Ah Fu doing?"

Noriman was a little upset.

finally encountered a war, but there was no chance to show his skills.

Those thieves were too weak for him to be interested.

Wang Mai shook his head, "I don't know, but Ah Fu has always planned to move later, since he said so, there must be a special reason." ”

"Why don't we sneak along?"

"No...... Wang Mai hurriedly waved his hand, "Didn't Ah Fu say it, there are so many of us, it's easy to have accidents." ”

"But ......"

"Third brother, since we all agreed to come down, don't mess around.

Afu's surname, you may not know too much. On the surface, he looks weak, but there is a tiger in his heart.

If he is angered by this incident, he dares to turn against you, or even drive you back to Xudu...... Don't laugh, I mean really. When he was in Zhongyang Town, his body was far worse than now, but because someone bullied his mother. He took me around the man's house for a long time, and when I asked him what was the matter, he wouldn't say...... As a result, he went to the man's house that night and killed him. ”

Pawn Man, I couldn't help but be silent.

After a while, he said softly: "There are so many thieves outside, what if ...... I'm worried that Ah Fu and they are outnumbered. ”

"This ......"

When Wang Mai heard this, he also showed a deep groan.

"So what do you say?"

"Let's follow him secretly!" Dian Man glanced back at Hu Ban and those servants, and said in a low voice: "Just the two of us, don't let Ah Fu know." If Ah Fu and they are okay, we will not show up. In case of...... We can help too. ”

Wang Mai couldn't help but feel moved!

He was also a little uneasy, but what Cao Peng said just now was very strong, and Wang bought a surname and nodded in agreement.

But what Dianman said is also very reasonable.

In case Ah Fu is in danger or has an accident. When I go back, how can I explain to Cao Ji and his wife, Deng Ji and his wife?

"Let's just follow, and we are not allowed to do it until we have to."

Dianman suddenly grinned, "Of course, I'm also afraid...... Phew, I'm his third brother, I'm not afraid of this guy! ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Cao Peng, Zhou Cang, and Xiahou Lan, followed Lei Xu and the others into the grotto hall.

"Marshal, the official army is approaching, what should we do?"

I only heard a thief, and asked in horror.

Lei Xu was silent for a while, "Let's get out of here right away." ”

"What about the brothers outside?"

"At this time, they can be taken care of...... Let them stop the officers and soldiers, just to buy us some time. Hurry up and pack up the things that are easy to carry and valuable...... Lei Fang, go get those armors. Let's change into official armor and escape from the chaos! Everyone hurry up, if someone finds out, we want to leave, but it's not so easy! ”

Followers, immediately go your separate ways.

I saw the thief named Lei Fang, with two people, carrying a box from the corner of the hall.

When it was opened, it was full of official and military armor. Presumably something that Lei Xu got before, Lei Fang took out a set and handed it to Lei Xu.

Lei Xu did not shirk, and immediately changed into his armor.

Then I saw him take out a box from the stone couch, wrap it in cloth, and carry it on his shoulder.

"Lei Fang, are you all ready?"

"Dashuai, you're all set!"

"Let's go!"

Lei Xu did things without dragging his feet at all.

As for those thieves under his command, in his eyes, they are not worth paying attention to at all.

The group hurriedly walked out, and after Cao Peng, Zhou Cang, and Xia Houlan glanced at each other, Zhou Cang and Xia Houlan nodded at him in unison.

"Lei Xu, aren't you going to join the official army in this dress?"

Zhou Cang flashed out of the shadows and blocked the way of Lei Xu and the others.

Lei Xu was startled at first, and when he saw clearly that it was Zhou Cang, his face suddenly showed a hideous look.

"Zhou Cang!"

He roared loudly: "I have no grudge against you from afar, and no enmity from near, why do you want to harm me? ”

Zhou Cang laughed, "Lei Xu, the eldest husband should be born in the world, and he should rely on the knife in his hand to build an immortal career, and he can be a thief for the rest of his life." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Heh, what can I mean? I just want to borrow one thing from you. ”

"What's that?"

Lei Xu is obviously a guy who can bend and stretch, and he is very aware of the situation in front of him, and he is not suitable for entanglement with Zhou Cang.

Zhou Cang said with a smile: "I want to borrow Erxiang's head and dedicate it to my son-in-law." ”

Lei Xu was stunned when he heard this.

Listening to Zhou Cang's tone, it seems that he has taken refuge in some big man! Maybe it's the son of a big lord. However, he didn't care about these at this time, and gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Cang, dare to bully me like this?" Don't you think I'm a bully? ”

"It's good to bully, let's talk about it after fighting...... Bring me your head. ”

Zhou Cang roared and rushed forward.

Lei Xu shouted: "Kill him!" ”

Lei Fang didn't say a word, and rushed towards Zhou Cang with people. At this moment, a figure suddenly burst out from the shadows, Xia Houlan twisted the gun and pounced, Zhang Er's silver spear was in his hand, and he stabbed at Lei Fang with a dripping turn. Lei Fang didn't expect that Zhou Cang actually had a helper. He knows Hu Ban's ability, and he doesn't have to worry about it at all. So he didn't care, and slashed out with a backhand.

"Lei Fang, be careful!"

Lei Xu hurriedly shouted loudly, but ...... He's still too late to shout!

Xia Houlan's skills are only a step worse than Zhou Cang's.

Moreover, his gun is long and powerful. and Lei Fang's big knife in his hand, with a bang, Lei Fang's knife collapsed to the side.

The silver spear paused slightly, and then stabbed out fiercely.

Lei Fang couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly retreated, trying to dodge the past.

A good Xia Houlan, his footsteps suddenly became smart, and he suddenly accelerated, and at the same time, after stepping out, the silver spear that was originally clenched with both hands was suddenly held with one hand. Leaning forward, one foot landed on the ground, the other cocked, and the length of the silver spear increased dramatically.

It's too late, it's too late, it's too late for Lei Fang to hide!

With a pop, the big gun pierced Lei Fang's chest. Xia Houlan was not in a hurry, one slid step, and the other hand held the gun again. According to his tricks, he put his hands together and shook off Lei Fang's corpse, and he could continue to fight. At this moment, Lei Xu suddenly moved. I saw him pull out the Wu hook, hold the sword in both hands, and take small steps under his feet, the pace is not big, but the speed is fast.

"Give my brother back!"

As Lei Xu spoke, he suddenly stepped out, and Wu Gou slashed towards Xiahou Lan fiercely.

But at the moment when he drew his sword, a figure flashed in the corner of his eye, followed by a cold chill that hit the back of his head......
