Liu Pi took Xu Shu down the mountain in a hurry, and He Man had no time to pay attention to Liu Wei and others, gathered the soldiers and horses in the camp, and lined up on the mountain.

Standing in the barracks, looking at the Yellow Turban officers and soldiers who were rushing towards the hillside to join the big formation, Liu Wei knew that something must have happened, but he hadn't figured out what was going on.

A yellow turban colonel ran towards them, and Liu Wei hurriedly stepped forward to stop the junior colonel and asked, "What happened down the mountain?" Why is the whole camp like a great enemy? ”

"Niu Fu led the troops to attack Liu Pijun, and he was already fighting with Liu Pi's soldiers and horses." Xiao Xiao replied, without much explanation, and ran quickly towards the hillside.

Hearing that it was Niu Fu who led the troops to encircle and suppress, Liu Wei's heart tightened, I am afraid that these officers and soldiers were not killed for no reason, it must have been Yan Zheng who followed the traces they left before, and found that there was a Yellow Turban Army stationed here, so he led the nearby officers and soldiers over.

The officers and soldiers had already fought with the Yellow Turban Army under Liu Bi, and Liu Wei knew that this was the perfect time to leave, but Xu Shu followed Liu Pi back to the barracks, and once he left, it would be difficult to meet again.

"Yuanfu, we have to prepare early." Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, he waved his hand at Zhou Cang, and led Zhou Cang and Tang Ji to walk towards the tent in the northwest corner, and whispered: "The officers and soldiers are attacking, the time to go down the mountain is just right at this moment, but after I leave, it will be difficult to meet Yuan Zhi, and I am very uneasy in my heart." ”

"Sir, according to a certain opinion, the spearhead of the officers and soldiers should have been directed at us and others, but they found that the Yellow Turban Army was stationed nearby, so they temporarily changed their strategy. And Niu Fu is a famous general in Xiliang, although he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he is a brave warrior, Liu Pi and He Man must not be his opponents, it is better to leave earlier. Following behind Liu Bian, Zhou Cang said to Liu Bian as he walked: "Yuan Fu is a key criminal pursued by the official army, and he is not afraid of death, but Mr. and Mrs. must not fall into the hands of the official army......

"They are more determined to find me than you!" Liu Wei raised his hand, stopped Zhou Cang from continuing, turned around and whispered to him: "Yuanfu followed me all the way north, I have been hiding something from you, this king is Liu Bian, the king of Hongnong who Dong Zhuo wanted to kill but didn't succeed." ”

"Huh?" Zhou Cang did not ask Liu Bian's identity and surname, and after leaving Taojiazhuang, he has always regarded himself as an entourage, so he will not ask too much, Liu Bian suddenly said that he is the king of Hongnong, which really surprised Zhou Cang.

"Dong Zhuo ordered Li Ru to poison and kill this king, and this king killed Li Ru and fled Luoyang with Tang Ji, so that he was fortunate to get acquainted with Yuanfu." Liu Wei smiled slightly, and said to Zhou Cang: "This king knows that Yuan Fu is from a yellow scarf, and he must hate the Han family lineage to the bone......

"Your Highness!" Before Liu Wei finished speaking, Zhou Cang bent one leg, knelt on the ground, and said to him: "Your Highness is a royal nobleman, and he cares about the people, has great benevolence and righteousness in his heart, and Yuanfu follows His Highness, which is really a blessing for three lives." Even if Yuanfu is broken to pieces, he must ensure that His Royal Highness and the princess are well-thought! ”

"Good! Good! What a blessing! Zhou Cang's words made Liu Wei feel inexplicably moved, he stepped forward to hold Zhou Cang's arm, helped him up, and said a few "yes" before he continued to say to Zhou Cang: "He Man is flustered, he will definitely ignore us and others, but once he engages with the official army, he will definitely think of inviting Yuanfu to fight." This place should not be stayed for long, and I will leave immediately. ”

"No!" Zhou Cang answered, and followed Liu Wei and Tang Ji all the way towards the northwest of the forest.

Estimating that there was still some distance from the tent, Liu Wei stopped and looked around for a while, before holding Tang Ji with one hand, beckoning towards Zhou Cang with the other, and burrowing into a bush at the bottom of the slope.

There must have been an eyeliner planted by He Man near the tent, and around He Man's big tent, almost the entire barracks of the Yellow Turban Army were concentrated, and the only place where there might be no sentry or few sentry posts at the moment was this vacuum between the two.

The nearby hillside is relatively sparsely wooded, and although the ground is overgrown with weeds and shrubs, it is not as difficult to discern the path as the hills that Liu Wei and others passed earlier.

Getting into the bushes, the servants did not delay, and ran all the way down the mountain.

After walking not far, Liu Wei stopped and squatted on the hillside, raised one arm to prick his index finger and thumb, and gestured towards the opposite hill before turning his head and saying to Zhou Cang beside him: "If you don't hurry up, I'm afraid I'll have to pass through the battlefield." ”

Liu Wei didn't say anything, Zhou Cang had already seen some clues.

There were shouts of killing in the distance, although Liu Bi had led Xu Shu back, but after all, they had returned a little late, and the officers and soldiers had already launched an attack on Liu Bi's military camp.

There was already a lot of killing at the bottom of the mountain, but I squatted on the hillside, but I still couldn't see the situation on the battlefield. Liu Wei pulled Tang Ji and walked briskly down the mountain, while saying to Zhou Cang: "The opposite hill is about two thousand steps away from us, if the speed is fast enough, we can still reach it before Liu Pi's army is defeated." ”

After many days of traveling, Tang Ji almost adapted to following Liu Wei out of the predicament in an extremely dangerous situation. She tried hard to run with Liu Wei, although her daughter's physical strength determined that her speed would not be very fast, but it was much stronger than when she first escaped from Luoyang.

As Liu Wei guessed, there was no sentry set up by He Man on this hillside, and the servants ran all the way down the hill, and they were not idle under their feet, and they quickly ran towards the hill two thousand steps away.

Two thousand steps, converted into today's measurement unit, is nearly three thousand meters.

This distance is not far away, but it is not close, the most important thing is that on this road, there is a large area of open land, standing on the hill, you can see Liu Wei and others running on the open ground at a glance.

On the hillside, He Man had just set up a formation, waiting for the officers and troops to attack his side, when a yellow turban general pointed to the bottom of the mountain and said to him: "Qu Shuai, look! ”

Following the direction of the yellow turban general's finger, He Man looked down the mountain. I saw that at the foot of the mountain in the distance, three small figures were rushing towards the opposite hill.

"Someone! Go and see if Zhou Cang and the others are still in the camp! Seeing the three figures, He Man was stunned for a moment, and gave an order to the soldiers behind him.

The soldiers responded, ran back to the barracks and turned back after a while, clasped their fists and bowed to He Man, "Hui Qushuai, the servants are gone." ”

After delaying this time, Liu Wei and the others had already run away, He Man's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at their figures getting farther and farther away, and scolded hatefully: "There are several people who don't know what to do, Ben Qu Shuai has been eating and drinking for days and days, and as soon as the officials and soldiers came, they ran away!" ”

"Yuqu Shuai, Liu Pijun has been defeated." He Man was scolding Liu Wei and the others, and a scout who had sent Lu ran up the hillside, clasped his fists and said to him: "Liu Pi has not returned to the barracks, the official army has already broken through the camp, Liu Pi's army is scattered in all directions, and some soldiers and horses are fleeing towards our army. ”

"More than 20,000 people, how vulnerable are they?" Not long after Liu Pi came down the mountain, the news that the army had been defeated, He Man was stunned for a moment and asked the scout who came to report the news: "How many officers and soldiers are there?" Where did the soldiers and horses come from? ”

"Hui Qu Shuai, the leader who came to lead the army is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu." The scout clasped his hands into fists, bowed down and trembled and responded: "He is not leading Xiliang soldiers and horses, but 8,000 heavy armored soldiers under Zhu Jun's command. ”

8,000 people defeated 20,000 people, if it were other officers and soldiers, He Man might still scold Liu Pi's army for being useless. However, the heavy armored soldiers under Zhu Jun were a major force in the eradication of the Yellow Turban Army, and they not only had rich experience in fighting the Yellow Turban Army, but their equipment was also much better than that of the Yellow Turban Army.

"Strictly guard the mountain, if Liu Pi's people escape here, drive them all down the mountain." Furrowing his brows and groaning for a while, He Man shouted at the Yellow Turban officers and soldiers behind him.

The shouts of killing came and went, Liu Wei pulled Tang Ji and led Zhou Cang all the way to run wildly, and finally rushed to the foot of the opposite mountain.

The hillside in front of me is not much different from the slope where Homan's troops were stationed, and the gap between the trees on the slope is also large, which is suitable for people to walk through.

The shouting and killing in the distance continued, but it was not as intense as before, and while walking towards the mountain, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang and Tang Ji: "The shouting and killing is getting weaker, the official army should have broken through Liu Pi's camp, and it won't be long before they will point the finger at He Man, He Man's defense has a big hole, and it can't support it for a few hours." I'd better hurry up, the longer we delay here, the more dangerous it becomes. ”

"There are more than 20,000 soldiers and horses under Liu Bi's command, and they are so vulnerable." Zhou Cang, who was following Liu Wei, glanced back in the direction where the sound of killing came, sighed, and let out a sigh of emotion.

Liu Wei turned his head, looked in the direction of Liu Pi's military camp, and said to Zhou Cang: "The officers and soldiers must have been ready to attack for a long time. Earlier, on the way into Liu Pi's military camp, I felt that there were many people in ambush on the cliffs on both sides. If I want to attack Liu Pi, I must choose some elite soldiers to solve the ambush on the cliff at night. Once the cliff is captured, Liu Pi's team will be like a turtle in an urn, and can only be slaughtered! ”

"Yes!" Standing under Liu Wei's head, Zhou Cang nodded thoughtfully, pinched his chin with one hand, and muttered: "Most soldiers can't see with their eyes at night, at least their vision is not very clear. Only a handful of able-bodied soldiers could operate normally at night, and if His Highness had acted at his best, the defenders on the cliffs on either side would have been completely annihilated unsuspectingly. ”

"Let's go!" Liu Wei beckoned to Zhou Cang, pulling Tang Ji to continue to climb to the top of the mountain.

As he walked, he secretly thought about it in his heart. From Zhou Cang's words, he could get an extremely important message, most of the people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had night blindness due to malnutrition.

Earlier, he led the villagers of Taojiazhuang to attack the bandits at night, and the bandits were annihilated almost defenselessly, which is probably also inseparable from this.

As for why the villagers in Taojiazhuang didn't suffer from night blindness, Liu Wei had already thought of the answer. Although the villagers live a hard life, their staple food on weekdays is mainly meat and fish, and the necessary trace element intake is sufficient, so they will not be unable to see at night.
