The rising morning sun lazily illuminated the earth, and a carriage with a closed carriage, surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers, slowly marched westward, seeing that it was about to leave Zhao Yun's sight.

Riding on horseback, Zhao Yun straightened up and looked at the carriage that was moving away. In the carriage, Qiao Wanniang, who had two tears on her pretty face, also lifted the curtain and poked her head out of the window to look at Zhao Yun, who was gradually moving away.

Zhao Yun's expression was still a little indifferent, but Qiao Wanniang, who was sitting in the carriage, was already crying like a tearful child.

Beauty has always loved heroes, not to mention that Zhao Yun is not only brave and martial, but also very chic and dignified.

is a woman who is Zhao Yun, even if she is a concubine, she will no longer have to sing and dance for other men in the future, and she will no longer be just a dancer for others to enjoy, but a woman who has become a general overnight.

Although there is no extravagant wedding ceremony, she is married to the man she likes after all. After committing to a man, the longing and reluctance in the daughter's heart are more vivid than that of men.

Liu Wei walked behind Zhao Yun, who was looking at Qiao Wanniang's carriage, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" Reluctant to be a late mother? ”

The shoulder was patted by Liu Wei, Zhao Yun turned his head and smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Highness said that it was funny, the army is about to go to the battlefield, how can the last general be accompanied by his family?" His Royal Highness ordered someone to escort the late mother back to Anyi, and Zilong was grateful in his heart! ”

"You and I are brothers, and your concubine is my sister!" Patting Zhao Yun's arm gently, Liu Wei said to him with a smile: "This king will definitely not let his brother's family be in danger!" ”

Zhao Yun clasped his hands into fists, rode on horseback and bowed down, with unconcealable gratitude in his tone, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness treats the last general so well, the last general will definitely die!" ”

Turning his head to look at the array that had already been lined up, just waiting for the army that had been ordered to be pulled, Liu Wei beckoned to Zhao Yun and said: "Yuanfu has already led the army to pull out for an hour, I don't want to fall too far behind, it's time to go!" ”

Turning back again and glancing at the back of the carriage, which was already so far away that he could only see a small black dot, Zhao Yun shook the reins, turned his horse, and followed Liu Wei towards the army array.

Liu Wei led the army all the way east, but Wang Kuang did not lead the Hanoi army to follow, and the main force of the Hanoi army remained in the area of Keiguan.

"Your Highness, from here, go south, cross the Yellow River, and you can reach Luoyang." Seeing that it was almost noon, Liu Wei was about to order the army to stop advancing and bury the pot to make food, Zhao Yun rode behind him, raised his hand to the south and pointed to him, and said to him: "At present, the area around Luoyang is a scorched earth, after the heroes from all walks of life withdraw their troops from Luoyang, a small group of Xiliang troops are still infested, and our army should be cautious." ”

Looking south in the direction pointed by Zhao Yun, Liu Wei nodded and said to Zhao Yun: "Our army has not yet entered Hanoi, if I am the Xiliang army, I will definitely not attack at this time." However, the military advisor expected that after Dong Zhuo learned about this king's personal expedition, he would definitely not only send a small number of Xiliang troops to attack our army, and if the Xiliang army did not come, if it came, it must be an army of tens of thousands of people! ”

"Continue to the east, in the evening, our army should be able to reach the Qinshui ......" Straightening up and looking at the east, Zhao Yun said to Liu Wei: "If the Xiliang army really comes to Hanoi to intercept it, it is safest to wait for our army to attack it halfway through Qinshui, but it is ......"

Turning his head to look at Zhao Yun, Liu Wei raised his horsewhip, pointed to Zhao Yun and said: "Before this king left, the military advisor had awarded the trick plan, and he expected that our army would advance eastward, and the Xiliang army would definitely be intercepted by two ways. One way from Yingchuan and Chenliu, they will intercept our army on the front line of Wude and Xiuwu; On the other hand, they would run thousands of miles from Chang'an, avoid Keiguan, cross the Yellow River from Wushejin, and pursue our army from behind. ”

"In that case, why does His Highness still want the Hanoi Army to guard Keiguan......" Liu Wei said this, Zhao Yun looked at him at a loss, turned his head to look at him and said: "Our army is only 20,000 people in total, Dong Zhuo's old thief is blocking His Highness, and there will be no shortage ......of soldiers and horses."

"Xiuwu and Wude are close to Yanzhou!" Looking at the east, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said to Zhao Yun: "Now that Cao Mengde is in Yingchuan, the military advisor has already expected that when he learns that this king is trapped by Dong Zhuo, he will definitely come to the rescue......"

A day later, in the evening of Xu County, Yingchuan County, Cao Cao sat in the county government's study, and Xi Zhicai sat opposite the low table in front of Cao Cao.

"I heard that King Hung Nong has entered Hanoi." With his hands pressed on the low table in front of him, Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and said to him: "There is news from Tanma that Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen, with Li Meng as the vanguard, from the Jingzhao Yin area and entered Henan Yin through Hongnong County, intending to hunt down and kill the Hongnong King in the Hanoi area. The other route of soldiers and horses set out from Tran Liu, went straight to Hanoi County, and intercepted them in the area of Xiu Vu and Vu Duc. If you want to save him, I don't know what to do? ”

"Ming Gong rescued King Hongnong, as it should be!" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Xi Zhicai stroked the beard on his chin, nodded slightly, and said to Cao Cao: "I heard that King Hongnong left Jiguan and did not order Wang Kuang to lead the army to accompany the Eastern Expedition, so that he can take the opportunity to occupy Hanoi!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" At this time, Cao Cao, although he was still very loyal to the Han family, was also ambitious, and Xi Zhicai said that he could occupy Hanoi by rescuing Liu Wei, and he quickly sat up and asked.

"Borrow a knife to kill! Fish in muddy waters! Looking at Cao Cao, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Xi Zhicai's mouth, and he said to him: "Duke Ming should send troops as soon as possible, and order Cao Hong to lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to intercept Hu Zhen in Licheng, and he will not be defeated but not won." Li Cheng is close to Qinshui, our army is nearby to intercept, Hu Zhen will not dare to cross the river easily, ordered Cao Hong to lead the army to retreat to Keiguan, Hu Zhen must be to defeat our army, can cross the river to pursue King Hongnong. When Wang Kuang heard that the Xiliang army had caught up, he would definitely lead the army to reinforce, and Cao Hong would secretly remove Wang Kuang again, and Hanoi would get it! ”

"Brilliant Ideas!" As soon as Xi Zhicai's voice fell, Cao Cao slapped the low table in front of him violently and said happily: "If you really win Hanoi, Zhicai should be the first to take the lead!" It's just that Yingchuan Zhang Ji how to deal with it? ”

"Zhang Jinai is the king of Hongnong, far away from Jiguan! The longer King Hongnong was intercepted in Hanoi, the more beneficial it was to Ming Gong. Xi Zhicai stroked his beard and muttered for a moment before saying to Cao Cao: "Ming Gong should order Xiahoudun to lead the army slowly, this road should not march too fast, reach the area of Juan County, but order Xiahoudun to station the army on the south bank of the Yellow River, wait until Zhang Ji finds the king of Hongnong, first send a small number of soldiers and horses to reinforce, on the grounds of slow crossing of the river, do not defeat Zhang Ji for the time being, wait until Yanzhou Liu Dai and the Yellow Turban thieves fight, and then cross the river, and break Zhang Ji in one fell swoop!" ”

Cao Cao nodded, was silent for a moment, picked up the pen from the table, dipped it in ink, wrote two lines of small characters on the two pieces of silk, and then put the silk on the table, and shouted to the outside of the study: "Someone!" ”

A pro-soldier wearing a dark blue military uniform and cowhide armor entered the room at the call, his hands clenched into fists, and stood on the side of the door.

"Please come over with the two generals Cao Hong and Xiahoudun!" Glancing up at the soldier, Cao Cao instructed him: "The military situation is urgent, let them not delay!" ”

"No!" The soldier answered, and walked out of the room backwards.

Liu Wei led the army to leave Jiguan all the way to the east, and after three days in a row, Qinshui had been left far behind by his army, but the Xiliang army that came to pursue and intercept never appeared.

Riding on horseback, Liu Weiwang saw a continuous mountain range appear in the northeast. The mountains are very compact, but there are no unusually tall peaks.

Between the mountains and the army, there is a very flat plain. The land on the plains is scorched and yellow, and it can almost be said that there is no grass, and the land is extremely barren.

"Where is this?" Riding the horse slowly, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed to the mountains in the distance and asked Zhao Yun beside him.

Looking at the mountains in the distance and the mirror-like yellow earth nearby, Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Return to Your Highness, travel northeast from here, and in less than a day, you should be able to reach Xiuwu; If you turn south, you will enter the realm of martial arts. ”

Hearing that he was about to reach the gap between Xiuwu and Wude, Liu Wei raised his arm, stopped the advance of the team, and said to a personal soldier behind him: "Catch up with the vanguard, order General Zhou Cang, and ask him to immediately lead the army south and advance in the direction of Wude!" ”

"No!" The soldier responded with a fist clench, shook the reins, and slammed his legs towards the horse's belly, and galloped his horse toward the east.

After the soldiers left, Liu Wei raised his head and glanced at the sky, there were a few white clouds floating in the clear blue sky, and the dazzling sunlight shone on his face, which was very dazzling.

It's still early before dark, if you continue to hurry, stay until dusk, even if you can't reach Wude, it shouldn't be very far from Wude City.

The army turned around and advanced towards the city of Wude to the south.

If the march is smooth, you can reach the boundary of Henan Yin after Wude, and from Henan Yin interspersed, at most a day and a half of the journey, you can enter Yanzhou.

Turning the corner, they had traveled only four or five miles, and a fast horse rushed up from behind the army.

The fast horse galloped, and the horse's hooves stepped on the dry yellow earth, raising pieces of smoke and dust.

Hearing the sound of heavy horses' hooves as the war horse galloped behind him, Liu Wei turned his head and glanced back. I saw a scout catching up quickly, and when Liu Wei approached, the scout turned over and jumped off the horse, ran to the side of Liu Wei's war horse, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Your Royal Highness, the vanguard of our army found the Xiliang Army in the area of Xiaoxiuwu!" ”

"Xiao Xiuwu?" Looking down at the scout standing beside the horse with his fists clenched, Liu Wei asked him, "How many people are there in the Xiliang Army, and who is the main general?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the Xiliang Army has a total of more than 30,000 people, and Zhang Ji is the main general!" Standing under the horse with his fists clenched, the scout answered Liu Bian's question in a loud voice.

"Probe!" Nodding, Liu Wei waved his hand at the scout, and when the scout left, he turned his head to look at Dian Wei and Zhao Yun on the side, and said to the two: "The Xiliang army that came to intercept has appeared, if the military division is not bad, the pursuing Xiliang army has not been able to arrive in recent days, our army should retreat to Wude as soon as possible, and start a decisive battle with the Xiliang army under Zhang Ji's department in the Wude area." ”
