Wu Shirong's eyes suddenly narrowed, this five-year-old and three-coarse man looked more like an old and treacherous person at this time, and he said to Wei Changfeng: "It's great that General Wei wants to see Marshal Liu. General Liu has been waiting for General Wei. General Wei, if you can ride lightly and follow me alone, I promise that I will be able to let you meet Marshal Liu. ”

"You fart!" On the side, Zhang Sizhu, the general on the side, couldn't help it a little and reprimanded, "It's an idiot!" With such tricks that even children can't fool, do you think we'll be fooled? ”

Wu Shirong snorted and replied: "My Han generals have always practiced what they say, and they are above board, how can villains like you have so many dark thoughts!" ”

Zhang Sizhu smiled and said, "Just because a few of you grass cowards are also worthy of representing the big man?" The Han officers and soldiers are here, are you blind and can't see it? ”

Wu Shirong also smiled and said, "Just because a few of you anti-thieves are also worthy of representing the big man?" The Han officers and soldiers are here, are you blind and can't see it? ”

Zhang Sizhu heard that Wu Shirong actually copied his original words, and even the idiot could see the irony, so he couldn't help but be furious, and looked at Wei Changfeng with his hand on the hilt of his sword, and just waited for General Wei to give an order, and cut down this arrogant guy on the spot.

Wei Changfeng saw that Wu Shirong seemed to be stupid or not, but he seemed to naively believe that they would definitely be able to recover the Western Han Dynasty, and the general trend of the world had been decided, they could enter Chang'an at any time, and rebuild the banner, thinking that it would be better not to be entangled with this kind of person, and said at the moment: "You go and call your Liu Gang Master, and I will talk to him." ”

Wu Shirong shook his head and said, "I, Marshal Liu, have a lot of opportunities, where do I have time to come to see you in person?" If you want to see him, please come with me, please rest assured General Wei, we will never be difficult for you, how you go and how you come back, not a single hair will be missing. ”

Wei Changfeng saw that Wu Shirong repeatedly asked him to see Liu Anbang, and he couldn't help but be suspicious. Is this Wu Shirong really idiotic to such an extent? Knowing that it was impossible for Wei Changfeng to follow him alone, but he invited him again and again, I don't know what the intention is?

He didn't want to entangle with Wu Shirong anymore, and replied immediately: "General Wu, Ben Shuai is here today to quell your rebellion, if your Liu gang leader can take the initiative to surrender, Ben Shuai can also help him intercede and save his life, you have always been an enemy of Donghu, and there are similarities with our officers and soldiers, you can avoid death, if you can be loyal to the Han, then you can mix an official and a half-job, if you can't, I'm afraid you will inevitably meet on the battlefield." General Wu is invited, Ben Shuai is about to enter the army, if General Wu doesn't leave, Ben Shuai has no choice but to take you as a profit first, as the first merit of the war. ”

Wu Shirong heard what Wei Changfeng said extremely resolutely, and knew that it would be impossible not to leave, so he had to sigh, turn the horse's head, and only take two steps, but turned around and said loudly: "General Wei, why don't you go with me?" You know this Marshal Liu, if you miss the old friend, you should go with me. ”

Wei Changfeng was furious.

This Wu Shirong seems to be innocent on the surface, but he didn't expect to provoke before leaving. Fang Zhenhai and Wang Gonggong almost gambled their lives because of Wei Changfeng's acquaintance with the Boyi Gang, and Wu Shirong actually deliberately shouted loudly in front of the whole army on this issue, saying that he knew the leader of the Boyi Gang, and he was so vicious, what else could he talk about?

Wei Changfeng raised his hand, and several bows and arrows were already spread out behind him, aiming directly at Wu Shirong.

Wu Shirong was shocked, hurriedly whipped on the horse, wanted to escape quickly, but he didn't expect that the horse was not a good horse, and Wu Shirong's riding skills were really not good.

Those subordinates hurriedly helped Wu Shirong up and ran away.

The generals of the Han army couldn't help but laugh when they looked at the performance of this general Wu, they were all thinking about this kind of combat effectiveness, but they were still talking about overthrowing the Eastern Han Dynasty and recovering the Western Han Dynasty?

Wei Changfeng didn't laugh along, but called a small capital to come and hurriedly ordered a few words. The little capital nodded and took the order. Wei Changfeng immediately ordered the army to maintain the unfolded formation, and searched and advanced all over the mountains.

When the order was issued, the army moved, but saw the general Liu Quan running to Wei Changfeng in a hurry, saluted Wei Changfeng, and said: "General Wei, the last general thinks that since the bandit leader has failed to persuade him to surrender, he will inevitably return to his leader, we don't need to search like this at all, as long as we follow the bandit leader, we can find their lair." ”

Wei Changfeng smiled and replied, "That's a good statement. It's just that you can imagine it, and they will naturally think about it, if we follow them with great fanfare, how can they easily return to their lair? So let's still search around here and scare the snake. ”

Liu Quan was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said with a smile: "It turns out that General Wei has sent someone to follow him secretly, but he is searching on the surface, and the last general is a little troublesome." ”

(2) Wei Changfeng shook his head and said, "General Liu, this is not right. What does it mean to be eventful? For the sake of the generals, they should be killed, but if they don't discuss with the generals, even if they are talented, there will always be a time of negligence. In the future, such eventful suggestions will be put forward by General Liu Shen. ”

Liu Quan was overjoyed, feeling that although General Wei was a little less rude than General Ma, he was as honest as General Ma, and said at the moment: "The last general just feels that the sergeant is too tired to search, and there will be no gain, so it is better to divide into several teams and take turns to search." ”

Wei Changfeng smiled: "What you said is good, but not yet." Since Wu Shirong dared to come here, there must be someone secretly observing somewhere behind them, let's search like this, one is to cover up the secret tracking, and the other is also to drive away those hidden Boyi Gang people, in case our tracking is discovered by them, this matter must be as soon as possible, otherwise once our tracking is discovered, we will follow in vain. ”

Liu Quan understood at this time, and said with a smile: "We are chasing rabbits." Then he resigned, and went to chase the rabbit by himself.

After more than half an hour, the little capital reported and said that they had followed Wu Shirong for a long time, and found that there were Boyi Gang guards in front of them, and they could no longer follow, so they had to return the report. Wei Changfeng said with a smile: "Since there are guards from the gang, then it is not far from their lair, you lead the way, let's go straight to their lair!" ”

The soldiers of the Han army followed the Xiaodu Tongyi Road in a hurry, turned two relatively gentle slopes, and a steep hill appeared in front of them. The little capital said, "This is it." The last general followed here, and when he saw that there was a Boyi gang guarding him, he had to retreat. ”

Wei Changfeng looked at this hill, and saw that this hill is not high, but extremely steep, although there is a gentle slope near the foot of the mountain on the left and right sides, but not far up is an almost upright cliff, just facing a relatively gentle hillside, but the fallen leaves on the hillside are piled up, and the shrubs are dense, and it is only extremely difficult to go up, and it is really a good place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. He looked at it, but he didn't find anyone moving on the mountain, and he hesitated a little.

On the side, Zhang Sizhu volunteered and ordered: "The last general will take someone up to investigate first, there is no other passage in this mountain except here, if the main force of the Boyi Gang is here, we can besiege them and slowly deal with these thieves." ”

Wei Changfeng was still a little hesitant. He looked at the mountain and was silent for a moment.

Zhang Sizhu was a little anxious in his heart, thinking to himself, what is there to hesitate about? Either send people up the mountain to investigate and then attack, or simply attack the whole army directly, and there is no other choice. It seems that this General Wei is still not as brave as General Ma after all.

Wei Changfeng was hesitating, but when he saw Bai getting up and approaching, he hurriedly asked, "General White Fang, in your opinion, what should we do now?" ”

Bai Qi looked at the hill and only said one word: "Withdraw!" ”

Wei Changfeng smiled, nodded, and immediately ordered: "The whole army retreats half a mile, shrinks the formation, and is strictly vigilant!" ”

Zhang Sizhu and Liu Quan both puffed out their eyes.

What kind of decision is this? Remove? Scared? Dizzy? Lose your marbles?

But no matter what it is, anyway, General Wei has already given an order, and the military order is like a mountain, and you have to carry out your great dissatisfaction, so the two of them had to hurriedly organize the troops to retreat.

After the retreat of the troops was completed, Wei Changfeng gathered a few generals in the forest to discuss the next move on the spot.

Zhang Sizhu could finally say what he had held back for a long time, he didn't wait for Wei Changfeng to speak, and asked first: "General Wei, why did our army retreat?" The last general is really puzzled! ”

"The last general doesn't understand either." On the side, Liu Quan also followed.

On the side, Zheng Liu saw that the two generals couldn't understand, as a general, although he was a false position, how could he be backward, and he also helped: "The last general thinks that it is best for us to directly besiege this mountain, this mountain has only this one way, why should we withdraw it?" Isn't that letting them run away? ”

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "It is precisely because there is only this road in this mountain that we can't attack it." ”

The three generals, including two real generals and one virtual general, all looked at Wei Changfeng inexplicably, and really didn't understand what kind of language Wei Changfeng was talking about.

Wei Changfeng said slowly: "The upper part of the three sides of this mountain is a steep cliff, those who can go up and down, only this side, although there are not many people in this Boyi Gang, there are still three or five thousand people, so many people have been up and down for several years, they must step out of one or more paths, you are just at the foot of the mountain, have you ever seen even one path stepped out?" ”

The three generals all let out an "ah", and they only then understood. Since there is not even a path, how can there be people on the mountain? Obviously, the people of the Boyi Gang are not fools, and they also thought that the Han army was very likely to send people to follow them, so they came up with a plan, pretending to send people to guard the mountainside, pretending to be the old nest on this mountain, to lure the Han army into being fooled.

Liu Quan and Zhang Sizhu immediately looked around. Bai Qi was already looking around when Wei Changfeng was explaining to everyone. Wei Changfeng saw that everyone had understood, and he also looked around.

Zheng Liu saw that everyone was looking around, although he didn't know what Lu Dao was, but of course it was necessary to be consistent with everyone, so he also looked around, and muttered: "Although the scenery is good, it is not worth painting." ”
