The news that Zhen Jiang told Qin Xu was simply a send-off for Lu Bu. Because of Song Xian's death, he was worried that the evil fire in his belly that had been suppressed would have nowhere to go, so he learned the hiding place of Liu Bei's army. This is undoubtedly excellent news. Leaving behind an army that was enough to confuse everyone, the three thousand Lu Bu troops took advantage of the night to move eastward and went straight to the Yanyi Mountain.

Yanyi Mountain is located in the east of the plain fifty miles away, it is adjacent to the remaining veins of Taihang Mountain in Bohai County, Jizhou, under the lush cover of forests, it is more and more difficult to appear in the mountains, when the army of Lu Bu galloped all the way here, it was already midnight, under the moonlight, except for the occasional snort of war horses, a few night owls neighed from time to time, which made it very quiet here.

It stands to reason that although Lu Bu's surprise attack here did not alarm anyone in the Plains City, after all, there were 3,000 cavalry galloping in the starry night, and there was no reason to gallop for more than 50 miles, and they had already come to the foot of the mountain, but they still did not attract the attention of Liu Bei's army. If Liu Bei's vigilance is so low, let alone having a pig's foot aura, even if he is made emperor, he will be easily wiped out.

"Lord, something is not quite right here!" Qin Xu came to Lu Bu's side and said to Lu Bu, who was about to give an order to enter the mountain with murderous intent: "Second Miss Zhen only said that this is the closest place to the plain where you can hide your troops, and she can't be sure that Liu Bei's house is here at this moment. And Liu Bei is vigilant in life, even if our army was hidden before, it would never be here now, but the other party did not react at all, there is something extraordinary, it must be a demon, and the lord must be cautious. ”

"Yes, my lord, and the mountains here are unpredictable. There is no one who is familiar with this place to guide the way, and our army is all cavalry, if it is easy to attack. If you are afraid that it will not be the way to win, why not set up camp on the spot and wait for tomorrow to make plans when it is dawn? Gao Shun, the leader of the trapped camp, has always been silent, and he has carried out Lu Bu's orders to the letter, but now it is rare to admonish Lu Bu said.

"When you don't enter the forest, you don't go to the army at night. How can you not know these truths? But that's for ordinary people, not the disadvantage of a certain army! Lu Bu was silent for a while, his face showing pride. There was a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes, and he said: "Besides, Liu Bei'er, he made a treacherous plot to harm my general, and now it is easy to have some clues." and how can they come to the door and not enter? The sky is laughed at by the world, Zhong Ming, Lao Gao, you don't have to persuade you, even if this place is now a tiger's den in Longtan, you have to break through, gentlemen, and follow you to avenge General Song Xian! ”

The situation in front of the "lord ......". It made Qin Xu feel more and more that something was not right. This is a high forest and dense weather, and it is hot and dry. If Liu Bei just used an empty city strategy, it would be fine, if he deliberately set up a suspicious formation and then used some fire to attack, I am afraid that even if these elites of Lu Bu's army around him are good at fighting, it is estimated that they will suffer heavy losses. With such worries, Qin Xu wanted to persuade again, but saw Gao Shun winking at him, as if he had something to say. Qin Xu had always admired Gao Shun, a general who had always been cautious, so he had to resist the urge to persuade Lu Bu again, and took a step back to Gao Shun's side.

"Zhong Ming, let Feng go first!" Looking at the terrain here, Gao Shun was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said to Qin Xu with an anxious expression.

"But ......" Qin Xu didn't believe that with Gao Shun's eyes, he couldn't see that this place was not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also an excellent place for fire attack, and even only needed more than 100 people to shoot rockets, with the help of this dry weather, his own 3,000 people were not enough to see at all.

"It's okay!" Without waiting for Qin Xu to finish speaking, Gao Shun already understood Qin Xu's worries, and said: "Although it is steep here, our army is also cavalry, and we can't exert our usual combat power in the dense forest. However, a certain camp is trapped, but the elite who can fight on the horse and can fight on the horse, even if the opponent uses fire attack, our army will deal with it with a prepared heart, and it will not have any effect. And rest assured! If you still have concerns, you might as well take the soldiers of the first battalion to stay here as a backup, and go to explore the road first. ”

"What did General Gao say! Although Asahi does not have the courage of a general, he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, so go together! Let's go! Qin Xu was right when he thought about it. Although it is said that it is not in the forest, but the scruple is that as soon as the other party's ambush comes out, it will have a greater impact on the soldiers' fighting spirit, and now these 3,000 soldiers are all the elite of Lu Bu's army, not to mention, they have already taken precautions at this moment, so the convenience of the surprise attack in this dense forest has lost its effectiveness. While restricting your own soldiers, the opponent does not grow on trees, and it will also have an effect, so although there is still danger, you must always be on guard against the opponent's rockets, but this degree is much lower than you expected. In that case, why should I be hypocritical? Besides, for Liu Bei, one of the three major pig's feet that he has been thinking about for a long time, Qin Xu has only heard of his name and not seen him so far, and now that he has such a good opportunity to see the living, how can he miss it?

"Enter!" Lu Bu didn't notice the conversation between Qin Xu and Gao Shun, at this moment, Lu Bu could only see from the white knuckles of the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand that he was holding in his hand, Lu Bu's excitement at this moment, seeing that the three thousand soldiers were already ready, Lu Bu waved the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand and issued a military order.

Cavalry drilling into the woods was not a good job in the first place. Gao Shun also emphasized this point when he persuaded Lu Bu before. The dense woods and understory vegetation limited the superiority of the cavalry, and it was impossible to bring out effective combat power at all. Moreover, the forest here is high, covering the sky and the sun, and I am afraid that it is also gloomy during the day, which adds a lot of difficulty to the sergeants who can only rely on the faint moonlight to march. And at this moment, he must not hold the torch, otherwise before Liu Bei's army can find him, he will leak his whereabouts and become a live target.

"Sure enough, there were soldiers and horses stationed here! It seems that there are more than 10,000 people! Nothing more, no less! "Fortunately, the mountain range here is only the remnant of Taihang Mountain, although the road into the mountain is quite steep, the mountain is high and dense, but after all, it is not the kind of high mountain that stretches for dozens of miles at every turn, the army is deep and shallow in the forest shuttled forward, it took less than an hour, and it was already close to the edge of the valley. Along the way, don't talk about the soldiers, even the war horses are so tired that they snort, and the handsome war horses in Lu Bu's army look much more tired at this moment than galloping for an hour. But fortunately, the soldiers of the trapped camp who were exploring the way ahead, under the leadership of Du Bo Sima Mao, had already taken advantage of the moonlight. I faintly saw the situation in the valley.

However, listening to Sima Mao's shout, it did not make Lu Bujun feel half a point of joy.

Once? What does it mean that there were once soldiers and horses stationed? Qin Xu and the others took a few steps under the opening of the guard. came to the place where Sima Mao was. It was only at this time that the Lu Bu army, including Qin Xu and Lu Bu, found that they and the others were now on a cliff, and although their own army learned about this place, they had just entered the forest at this time, and they took the wrong path in the forest, and the path that was originally facing the mouth of the valley was crooked, and they turned around three times and two times. Came here. And just below the cliff, there are still some remnants of broken wood. Everyone present was a battle-hardened person, so it was natural to see at a glance that there was indeed an army camped here. But now there are only a few wooden stakes left, which obviously shows that the original garrison here has left.

"Good luck for this thief!" Lu Bu fiercely slammed the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand on a big tree beside him that the three of them might not be able to hug together, and the halberd was a foot into the wood. It can be seen that Lu Bu is angry at this moment.

"My lord. General Gao, General Qin, the soldiers stationed here may not have gone far! Just when Lu Bu and the others were annoyed, Sima Mao, who had always been an expert in dirty work, suddenly pointed to a leeward and inconspicuous place in the valley where the sky was already shimmering, and it was obviously a huge bonfire that had just been extinguished, and there was even some residual smoke. I didn't see it very clearly when the sky was dark just now, but it was the morning fog and strange rocks in the mountains and forests. And this will be through the white belly of the fish on the eastern horizon, and it can be clearly seen that the other party is in a hurry. The traces left by the burning of the fire before it can be extinguished.

"It won't be too long, and it's only going to be two or three hours!" Lao Xu, who is known as Sima Mao and Kong Bin who is trapped in the iron triangle of the camp, seems to have a bit of research on this thing, covers his hands in front of his eyebrows, and only looks at them a few times, and then gives an answer with certainty.

"Two or three hours? Isn't that ......" Lu Yi, the commander of the Xianden Battalion who had been following Qin Xu, frowned and said, "Isn't it that I was waiting on the way when I came, but the other party has already begun to withdraw one after another?" Could it be that when he got the news and knew that we were coming, he knew that he was invincible, so he hurriedly retreated? You can see that they have not even had time to extinguish the bonfire in the camp when they leave, and if they are allowed to burn out on their own, you can tell that the other party is in a hurry. ”

"I can't rule out the possibility!" Qin Xu said casually. His eyes were staring at the bottom of the valley, and he always felt that this thing was strange from beginning to end. Where could there be such a coincidence, this side has just arrived, but that side has already left. Moreover, the two groups are extremely similar in time. You must know that even if the march to Yanyi Mountain is very hurried now, due to the habit of the army on weekdays, they still take turns to sprinkle their horses along the way, and there is no trace of large-scale soldiers moving at all. Moreover, according to Zhen Jiang, the reason why the valley here was originally chosen by Zhen Jian as a place to store materials was because this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was only one exit in the entire valley that could lead to the outside world, and the other three sides were all cliffs, unless there was the ability to fly, it would not be possible to run out at all.

"Tens of thousands of troops, passing by our army without knowing it! Could it be that they are all immortals? Lu Lingqi originally thought that there would be a fierce battle this time, but in the end, she didn't even see the shadow of the other party, and couldn't help but say sullenly.

"That's not right! Ling'er, what did you just say? Lu Lingqi's words seemed to make Qin Xu think of something, but he couldn't grasp the point in a trance, Qin Xu hurriedly asked.

"What does it say? I said that tens of thousands of troops, passing by us, did not let us find out, are they all immortals? Although Lu Lingqi didn't understand why Qin Xu was asking about this, she still repeated what she had just said, and after finishing speaking, she looked at Qin Xu, not knowing what amazing words Qin Xu would say.

"Zhong Ming, what do you mean by that? Did you find anything? After a night of galloping, and walking the chaotic road to the top of the cliff, he found that the other party had disappeared, and Lu Bu, who had made the evil qi in his chest depressed and blew a lot, asked Qin Xu with his eyebrows.

"My lord! It seems that this is a sin that Asahi said lightly! Qin Xu didn't answer Lu Bu's words immediately, but leaned to the edge of the cliff, hugged a tree and glanced down a few times, the wry smile on his face became worse, and said.

"Could it be that Zhen Jiang is lying?" The look of hesitation on Lu Bu's face flashed with anger, and he asked Qin Xu.

"What Miss Zhen said is indeed true! It's a pity that although we waited for the march with caution, we didn't expect it. has not been able to hide from the people in the city. Qin Xu sighed and said, "The other party may have already discovered my intention to leave the city, but he sent the news back first. That's why the original soldiers here walked so cleanly. And ......"

"And what?" Lu Bu's brows furrowed more and more, Qin Xu's speculation did sound very likely, at least the traces of the bonfire that had just been discovered by Sima Mao were very revealing. But Qin Xu's words were obviously not finished yet, and his face became more and more ugly, which made Lu Bu's heart tense and asked.

"And there are probably not more than 10,000 people living here!" Qin Xu smiled bitterly and said what he was worried about.

"What? Not so many people here? How can it be? General Qin. It's clear here...... Hey? Hearing Qin Xu's questioning, Lu Yi, who was following Qin Xu, first looked incredulous, and then glanced down. But then, even Lu Yi saw some clues, let out a strange exclamation, and said, "How is it possible." The camping tent left here though. But only the most conspicuous place is so messy, and the bonfire in the middle of this camp is too strange, if there are really more than 10,000 people stationed here, even if they leave in a hurry, how can such a light source be allowed to stay, isn't it obvious to leave clues for the enemy. ”

"General Koji is right. That's more than 10,000 people, not dozens, not hundreds. If the number of people commits such a mistake, perhaps Liu Bei can be blamed for his carelessness. Although it is unbelievable, it is still acceptable, but if more than 10,000 people have withdrawn, but only this eye-catching bonfire is left, it is enough to explain ...... Not good! Halfway through Qin Xu's words, his already heavy face became more and more cautious, and he hurriedly said, "Lord, return to the army quickly!" Their target is likely to be Plains City! ”

"What? Plain! Did these thieves eat the bear's heart and leopard's gall? "The reason why Lu Yi has been following Qin Xu is to behave well in front of Lu Bu, although he is determined to take refuge in Qin Xu, and the iron seal of the Qin family is also printed on his head, but this does not affect Lu Yi wants to show a few little faces in front of Lu Bu, the only one who can convince him, after listening to Qin Xu's words at this moment, Lu Bu has not spoken, but Lu Yi is before Lu Bu, and he is filled with righteous indignation.

"Hmm! Plain? Lu Bu didn't show the fury that Lu Yi imagined, but instead looked thoughtful about it, and frowned: "Zhong Ming! How did you predict that the other party's target would be the plains? ”

"That Guan Yu appeared too coincidentally!" When Qin Xu just opened his mouth to say those words, he expected that Lu Bu would definitely ask this question. It's not that Lu Bu didn't believe what he said, but this matter was already a bit unbelievable, if it weren't for the kind of traces that were deliberately arranged in the valley just now, Qin Xu really didn't think about it. And after everything was connected, it also made Qin Xu have a new understanding of Liu Bei, or Kong Rong's ability to calculate, and now when asked by Lu Bu, Qin Xu could only smile bitterly and said: "The lord may not know." Guan Yu was one of Liu Bei and his two righteous brothers who killed Hua Xiong in the Tiger Prison that day. Although he was only an archer at that time, he was despised by Yuan Shao, but the lord should also know the bravery of this person, if the people in the world talk about martial arts, this person can be ranked in the top ten, and he is really good. And this Guan Yu was originally an enemy of 10,000 people, and he had always been taken by Liu Bei's side, how could he appear in a small scout team? Then there is only one explanation! That's what Liu Bei is using! I just want to use this way to stimulate us to take revenge at all costs. What's more, Liu Bei also knows every move of our army in the Plains City, including Miss Zhen's entry into the Plains. Presumably Liu Bei also knows that what Zhen Qian, the son of the Zhen family, knows, Zhen Jiang will naturally know, and vice versa. I am afraid that Zhen Qian's envoy will already start planning how to recapture the plain and deal a big blow to our army. ”

"Are you saying that whether it is Song Xian's death or learning about Yanyi Mountain from the mouth of the girl in the Zhen family, Liu Bei has already foreseen it? Does Liu Bei have such insight? Seeing that Qin Xu was so strategic, Lu Bu asked in disbelief.

"That Liu Bei, now he is not the person who only closed Zhang when he was in the plains, and there was no strategist, only hatred and uselessness!" Qin Xu, who sighed at Liu Bei's strong aura of pig's feet, said with a wry smile: "Now Gongsun Chan doesn't know what kind of wind he has smoked, and he has imprisoned himself in Yijing City, and Liu Bei and his people have gained the power of Gongsun Chan, and there are Kong Rong and other generations to support him, and he has become a prince who should not be underestimated." We still use the old eyes of the past to measure the traces of their shots, and it is not surprising that there are today's events. Now although there are two generals Zhang Liao and Cheng Lian in the plain, there are more than 10,000 elites in the city, and there are also fierce generals such as Dian Wei, which is enough to make Liu Bei suffer a small loss. But after all, Plains City is small and dilapidated, which is not conducive to long-term suffering. It's better for me to wait and come back quickly! ”

"Hmm! It seems that he has indeed fallen for Liu Bei's tired tactics! After listening to what Qin Xu said, Lu Bu shook his head, this kind of thought that he could get revenge, but in the end he learned that it was just a taste of empty joy, and looked at the exhausted troops around him, which made Lu Bu only smile bitterly. (To be continued......)
