Chapter 123: Conspiracy (3)

However, he said that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao saw that I had not moved for a long time, and they were puzzled, so they began to lead their troops to cross the Qin River. Just when the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by the two had just crossed halfway, the five hundred cavalry of Wei Xu and Song Xian suddenly appeared. Thus, a guerrilla war began, which caught him off guard.

The brethren had two quivers in their saddles, each containing thirty or forty arrows. They strapped their spears behind their backs and threw them with their bows as they approached. The brothers were also very good at archery, and they could shoot at least seven or eight arrows within ten arrows.

As soon as the battle began, the enemy lost more than 100 men and horses. Yuan Shao was worried that our army still had ambushes waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, so he hurriedly sent Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead two thousand cavalry to meet the battle, intending to let the soldiers behind cross the river as quickly as possible.

Wei Xu and Song Xian did not engage the two head-on, and when they saw that the other party was coming towards them, they quickly led the brothers to retreat. Seeing this, Yan Liang and Wen Chou led the crowd to pursue without thinking.

After a while, when all the soldiers had crossed the river, Cao Cao, who had always felt that things were strange, seemed to have something in mind. He couldn't help but hurriedly say: "It's not good, but this person has always been cunning, and now that he has not appeared, and the thief army has withdrawn in such a hurry, I think he must have set up an ambush nearby; Hurry up and send someone to chase the two of them back in case something happens. ”

Yuan Shao's expression moved when he heard this, and he said to a general beside him: "Zhang He, order you to lead twenty light horsemen to quickly chase Yan Liang and Wen Chou back." ”

"The last general commands!" Zhang He obeyed the order and left.

Yuan Shao couldn't help but say again: "This young man has both wisdom and bravery, and he can't be despised anymore." ”

Cao Cao also said: "Yes, the last time I fought with him, I almost fell short of his way; If I hadn't retreated in time, I'm afraid the end would be unimaginable. ”

Yuan Shao sighed and said, "Alas, such a brave general is not my Yuan family's protΓ©gΓ©; I don't know where it came from, and I didn't have his reputation in the past? ”

Cao Cao couldn't help but say: "There are rumors in the north that he is a god sent down by heaven, and he has the power to easily subdue the tiger, so the world calls it "Fuhu Divine General", or "Divine General"; It is said that he kept several tigers as pets at home, and taking into account the talents he has shown in recent days, it can be concluded that he is not an ordinary person, and he should have been an unborn hidden master before. ”

"Hmm." Yuan Shao nodded and said, "Such a master, it would be good if he could be used by me." ”

Cao Cao also sighed: "Yes, I only sigh that this person is willing to fall, and he is willing to die for Dong Zhuo and other traitors, it is really a pity to teach people!" ”

Yuan Shao suddenly said: "Hmph, I don't believe that there are still people in this world who don't admire fame, fortune and wealth, as long as they give him enough benefits, are you afraid that he won't come over obediently to serve?" ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said, "I heard that his family has a lot of money, and it may be difficult to lure him." ”

Yuan Shao also said: "It is the so-called "full of warmth and lust"; Even if he is worth a lot of money and is not moved by small profits, I don't believe that he can still turn a blind eye to peerless beauties? ”

Cao Cao shook his head with a slightly wry smile and said, "I heard that everyone in the palace is rumored that he is a sage, and he never squints when he looks at people, and it is difficult to be tempted by beauty; What's more, if he likes beautiful women, none of the maids in the palace are not good-looking, if Dong Zhuo wants to reward him with ten or eight, why is it difficult? ”

Hearing this, Yuan Shao sighed and shook his head and said, "Is there really such a sage in this world?" ”

Cao Cao said, "Maybe." ”

However, it was said that Yan Liang and Wen Chou led 2,000 cavalry to pursue Wei Xu and Song Xian's troops, but Wei Xu and Song Xian used "maze tactics" to lead them around the village in the distance. Since Yan Liang and Wen Chou both belong to the kind of people with strong temperaments, they will become impatient if things don't go well. The two of them scolded, but it was useless.

Along the way, Wei Xu and Song Xian would occasionally use the "Heart Attack Tactic" and constantly mock each other with sarcasm. This made Yan Liang and Wen Chou angry, and they only cared about chasing and killing, but they failed to make good use of the advantage in numbers to design a siege and interception.

And because the cavalry moved too fast, the infantry queue kept falling behind. When the brothers introduced the opposing leader, lieutenant general, and vanguard cavalry into the village, Song Xian hurriedly led a group of brothers and quickly drove out through the other exits of the village, and then made a detour to attack the infantry who had fallen behind. Wei Xu and the other brothers stayed behind and continued to attract the opposing cavalry.

When Zhang He led twenty light cavalry to arrive, Yan Liang and Wen Chou's infantry had already lost more than half. At this time, the brothers had already moved to the next village, and Yan Liang and Wen Chou still led the rest of the foot cavalry to pursue behind.

Zhang He shouted to the two from afar: "General Yuan has an order, order you two to withdraw quickly!" ”

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. When Zhang He got closer, Yan Liang asked, "Why did General Yuan ask the two of us to retreat?" ”

Zhang He said: "General Yuan is worried that this is a trick set up by the thief army, so he sent me to recover the two of you. ”

At this time, Wen Chou on the side said: "Where is there any bullshit trickery, it's just a bunch of cowards running around to carry out sneak attacks, and the two of us are about to capture and kill them." ”

Zhang He couldn't help but look at the sergeants around him, and immediately asked, "Why are there only these two thousand foot riders?" ”

When the two heard this, they couldn't help but immediately bow their heads in embarrassment.

Zhang He immediately said helplessly: "Alas, you two, how can you lose so many soldiers so easily!" That's it, don't talk so much, let's retreat quickly, in case it will change later. ”

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but look a little dejected. Yan Liang said: "Retreat, retreat, anyway, those cowards are slippery like loaches, and they can't be caught." ”

Then, just as the three of them were about to retreat with their troops, Wei Xu and Song Xian appeared from behind them with their brothers. Then, as the firing range approached, there was another burst of bows and arrows, and the infantry in the rear immediately lost some men.

At that time, Yan Liang said angrily: "These hateful cowards, Uncle Huang must destroy them today!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang He on the side hurriedly said: "Wait, this is just a thief's trick to lure the enemy, Yan Duwei don't fall for it again." ”

At this time, Wen Chou also said: "That's it, since General Yuan has an order, then let's withdraw quickly." ”

"Hmm." Yan Liang groaned, then turned his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Seeing that the other party didn't turn his head, Song Xian couldn't help but say: "Zhongxian, it's almost time to play, or take the brothers to directly attack the enemy formation, right?" ”

Wei Xu nodded and said, "Okay, let the brothers kill him." ”

Immediately, the brothers put away their longbows, drew their spears, and quickly rushed towards each other's array.

At that time, the herald in the opposing army hurriedly said: "Captain Qiqi Yandu, the enemy army has killed from the rear." ”

Yan Liang snorted coldly, but said: "It's just in time, pass on the military order of the commander of the book, and line up to meet the enemy!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang He on the side couldn't help frowning, so he also prepared for the enemy and prepared to fight.

Then, in just a few breaths, the two armies fought together.

Yan Liang immediately took the initiative to find Wei Xu, but saw that the big sword in his hand was vigorous, and every move was fierce and abnormal, and this power was probably not something that ordinary people could easily block. However, Wei Xu didn't care, and went straight to the Yang family's marksmanship, and actually fought with him with ease.

At this moment, Yan Liang couldn't help but be surprised. But he didn't expect the young general's martial arts in front of him to be so good, and he immediately put away his contempt.

Wen Chou took the initiative to find Song Xian. Speaking of Song Xian, he has not practiced the Yang family's marksmanship for a long time, and he is a little inferior to Wen Ugly in martial arts. Therefore, the two only fought for more than 20 times, and Song Xian saw that he was unable to do enough and was about to be defeated.

At that time, Wen Chou stabbed Song Xian's shoulder with a spear, but the soft armor on Song Xian's arm was too strong, but the iron spear failed to pierce it at once.

Wen Chou was immediately shocked: "What kind of armor is this, it is so strong!" ”

"Hehe, not only is the armor very strong, but the blade is also very sharp!" Song Xian grinned and immediately shot back. Wen Chou's figure flashed in time and narrowly avoided it.

Song Xian put away his gun and replied, "Even if you hide in time, otherwise you will have to stab you in the heart." ”

Wen Chou couldn't help but look at Song Xian in a daze, and was speechless for a while.

At this time, Zhang He was also at war with a brother, who was the Great Book. Although his martial arts are not as good as Zhang He, the blades in Zhang He's hands are also helpless against him. This couldn't help but make Zhang He very puzzled.

Immediately, Zhang He had no choice but to abandon the huge book and come to Yan Liang, and the two worked together to defeat Wei Xu. But seeing Zhang He hurriedly said: "Captain Yan, the thief will be strong, let's retreat quickly, right?" ”

"It's fine." Yan Liang nodded, then hurriedly turned his mount, and shouted as he retreated: "The whole army retreats!" ”

Immediately, the three of them fled with more than a hundred cavalry, and the rest of the cavalry were all beheaded or captured by the brethren. (To be continued.) )
