Chapter 87: A Broken Army

Sour jujube, located in the north of Yanjin, is in the plain area, the terrain is a flat river, as long as there is an army stationed, there will never be no trace.

Standing in the deep grassy field, Liu Wei looked around at the wilderness around him.

The wind in the field was very strong, sweeping through the deep grass, swaying the blades of grass, making a soft "rustle" sound.

In the wilderness, there were bars made of wood everywhere, and in a few places, there were also hunting flags fluttering, which should have been left by the army and not taken away.

"Let's go!" Standing in the field and looking around for a while, Liu Wei beckoned behind him and walked towards the nearest one to them.

The door opened, and the flag inserted in the wooden wall flew in the wind, making a "hulala" sound, and the flag was also embroidered with a big seal "Yuan" character.

Walking into Luqi, Liu Wei looked around left and right as he walked. Scattered inside the deer were some damaged carriages, and beside the broken carriages, there were rusty spear tips and broken wooden poles.

The whole house is quiet, and after looking around the bar, where can you still see the figure of half a soldier?

After looking around, Liu Wei turned around and walked towards the gate.

Out of the bar, he led more than 100 confused men and walked straight towards another stone that appeared in the distance.

"Your Highness, it seems that this place has been empty for a long time!" Following behind Liu Wei, Zhou Cang lowered his voice and whispered to him, "Did I come to the wrong place?" ”

"No, it's just late!" Liu Wei furrowed his brows slightly, looked at the one in front of him, and replied to Zhou Cang in a low voice: "They have just left a few days, if they arrive early, they can still be found......"

"We have been trekking for days in search of the princes, and they have already left, so isn't that a failure?" Following behind Liu Wei, Zhou Cang frowned tightly and asked very tangledly.

Liu Wei didn't speak again, but frowned slightly, and walked quickly towards the other building.

The alliance of princes has already left, and from the dust on the contents of the wall, it can be seen that they have not left for a long time, if it is not for a few days of delay on the road, they may still be able to meet them in the sour date.

But after all, the coalition forces have left, and it is useless to think too much.

Standing in front of the second block, Liu Wei looked up at the flag with white characters on a red background and embroidered with the word "Cao" in large seal fonts, and after a long time, he gave an order to the men behind him, and walked towards the west with his feet raised.

The princes from all walks of life have dispersed, and Liu Wei's efforts have been completely reduced to useless work on the day he arrived at the sour date.

Liu Wei didn't feel annoyed, he had imagined this kind of ending before he came to the sour date. After all, after fleeing Luoyang, he delayed for too long.

Under the convening of Yuan Shao and others, the princes of the Fourteenth Route gathered sour dates and launched a fierce attack on the Tiger Prison Pass, ostensibly to expel Dong Zhuo and revive the Han dynasty. But in my heart, who wouldn't have a little bit of his own calculations?

After watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Wei also knew some outlines about the Battle of Tiger Pass, if it weren't for the princes from all walks of life having their own plans, Cao Cao would not have left angrily.

At this time, Cao Cao was still loyal to the Han court!

With the team, leaving the sour jujube, Liu Wei headed all the way to the west and advanced straight to the direction of Tiger Pass.

After walking for two days in a row, they saw many uninhabited villages along the way, but they did not even encounter a coalition of princes or Dong Zhuo's army.

The battle of Tiger Prison Pass is over! From this day on, the Han dynasty is truly in turmoil!

Frowning slightly, Liu Wei was thinking in his heart as he walked. Without the princes from all walks of life, what should we do next?

With his current strength, he would never do anything to take refuge in a certain prince. There are no soldiers in his hands, but there is a false name of the abolished emperor, and even if the princes take him in, they will definitely treat him as a puppet.

If you want to live longer, the only way is to develop your power quickly, and then go to the princes who are relatively weak in power and gradually grow!

"Your Highness, I've been walking for two days in a row, where am I going?" Liu Wei was walking in front, and Zhou Cang followed behind him and asked in a low voice.

"Go back to Woniu Mountain!" Liu Wei frowned slightly, and replied to Zhou Cang in a low voice: "As soon as the princes are dispersed and there is no restraint on each other, we will definitely not be able to take refuge in any of them, we can only return to Woniu Mountain, Xu Tu has a good strategy!" ”

Following behind Liu Wei, Zhou Cang didn't speak, but just sighed lightly, and from the sigh, he could vaguely hear a little loss.

All the men who followed Liu Wei to leave Woniu Mountain thought that as long as they found the alliance of the princes this time, Liu Wei would be able to make great progress, but the reality played a big joke with them, they met the defeated soldiers under Yuan Shao on the north bank of the Yellow River, but they did not get useful information from the defeated soldiers, so they came to sour dates in vain.

"Your Highness, this road leads to the Tiger Prison Pass......" Following behind Liu Wei, he walked another way, and Zhou Cang reminded in a low voice: "Shall we choose another path?" ”

"No!" While walking forward, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang: "Let's go to the vicinity of Tiger Prison Pass first, since we are here, if we don't find out the situation, even if we rush back to Woniu Mountain, I don't know how to achieve great things in the future!" ”

With a team of more than 100 people, and two more teas, Liu Wei suddenly raised his hand, stopped the advance of the team, squatted down, and listened carefully to the movements around him.

The people who followed Liu Wei also hurriedly squatted down, and their eyes couldn't stop glancing around.

In everyone's ears, there was no other sound except the sound of the wind, and after looking around for a while, everyone's eyes were on Liu Wei.

Squatting in the grass, Liu Wei shrugged his nose, smelled the air, pressed his hand twice behind him, signaled everyone to hide, and he himself bowed and jumped to the left.

Dian Wei and Zhou Cang glanced at each other and nodded to each other, Dian Wei ran out of the place after Liu Wei, while Zhou Cang squatted in place, watching the backs of the two disappear into a deep grass.

Hearing the sound of blades of grass rubbing against people's bodies behind him, Liu Wei turned his head, glanced behind him, and saw that it was Dian Wei who followed, so he didn't say anything, just continued to jump forward quickly.

After running not far, Liu Wei stopped again, and in front of his eyes, a long valley appeared.

Compared with the weedy field, the vegetation in the valley is much looser, except for a few large trees scattered around, and as far as the eye can see, it is a scorched yellow, dry pine land.

In the valley, every ten or so steps, there will be traces of a bonfire burning.

"Call the brothers!" Squatting on the edge of the valley, carefully observing the situation around him, Liu Wei gave an order to Dian Wei, who was squatting behind the side, and then ran down the valley.

Descending into the valley, Liu Wei walked to a extinguished pyre, he squatted down, reached out and picked up a piece of firewood that had not been completely burned, and looked at it carefully.

After a while, Dian Wei brought Zhou Cang and all the more than 100 men over, everyone went down to the valley, the men each made a guard nearby, and Zhou Cang and Dian Wei walked behind Liu Wei.

"Not long after they left, there were only more than a thousand people!" Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, Liu Wei turned his head to look at Zhou Cang and Dian Wei, and said to them: "If you chase, you can still catch up!" ”

"In case they are thieves, wouldn't it be ...... if we catch up" Looking at Liu Wei, the expression on Zhou Cang's face looked a little worried.

"It's not!" Liu Wei stood up, turned to face Zhou Cang and Dian Wei, and said to them: "The firewood is not completely burning, the bonfire must have been forcibly extinguished not long after it was lit, they are making rice, and they are half-cooked and eaten!" From this, it must be a defeated army! ”

"They're not thieves either!" Turning his head to look at the bonfire behind him, Liu Wei continued: "If it is a thief, after the defeat, he will definitely go to the Tiger Prison Pass!" And the direction they chose was to stay away from the Tiger Prison Pass, which shows that the person who lit the fire must be one of the coalition forces. ”

"It seems that the coalition forces are fighting against the thief army, and they are losing more than they win!" Zhou Cang sighed lightly and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, there is the Tiger Prison Pass not far ahead, do we want to travel on a different road?" ”

"Change! Of course you have to change! Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, looked towards the east, and said to Zhou Cang and Dian Wei: "Let the brothers get ready, I'll wait for the departure and catch up with the rout!" ”

Zhou Cang and Dian Wei responded and ordered the men to prepare to go.

Liu Wei stood next to a pile of burnt firewood, but his eyes were cast on the messy footprints on the east side of the valley.

The bonfire still had some residual warmth, and Liu Wei believed that the team had not gone too far, and as long as they picked up the speed, they could catch up quickly.

He didn't know who that army was originally under his command, but for him, it didn't matter whose command it was, the important thing was to find them!

The Battle of Tiger Prison Pass was an important watershed in the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms. Liu Wei's previous understanding of the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass all originated from Romance, and many things he experienced later made him find that Romance had made changes to many details, and it must not be used as a criterion for acting.

To understand the course of the entire campaign and make future development plans, it is necessary to find the troops that participated in the campaign!

Leading more than 100 men, Liu Wei trotted all the way, chasing the rout army that had just left the valley.

After chasing for more than ten miles in a row, there was still no trace of the rout. Liu Wei, who was running, suddenly stopped and raised his hand to stop the team's advance.

The team stopped, Liu Wei squatted down, picked up a blade of grass on the ground, looked up at the front, lowered his voice, and whispered to the people behind him: "There are enemy troops ahead, advance carefully, don't make too much noise." ”

The crowd stretched out their heads and looked ahead, but they found no trace of the enemy, and there was no sound in the wilderness except the sound of the wind and the rustling of the grass, let alone the sight of the enemy.
