The middle-aged general is not a bystander, it is Jia Xu who succeeded Li Ru as the first adviser under Dong Zhuo's account.

Although Niu Fu was brave, he was not good at using tactics, and Dong Zhuo sent Jia Xu to assist Niu Fu in order to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the mountains in one fell swoop to stabilize the vicinity of Luoyang.

Occupy the cliff at night, and after Liu Pi left the barracks, he immediately attacked and broke through Liu Pi's department. Later, with the help of the cover of Liu Pi's rout, he detoured from the path to the mountain, and broke He Man's strategy from behind, which was precisely from Jia Xu's hand.

In just one day, the 8,000 officers and troops of the Niu Fu Department defeated the more than 30,000 Yellow Turban troops under Liu Pi and He Man.

Seeing that the battle was entering the final stage, the officers and soldiers were pursuing the defeated Yellow Turban Army, and the results of the battle were also expanding little by little. Even Jia Xu was taken aback when he received the news that some officers and soldiers had been attacked and defeated.

When he entered the forest and saw the officers and soldiers hanging upside down on the poplar trees and the corpses everywhere, Jia Xu was secretly frightened in his heart.

The battlefield is extremely variable, and it is impossible for anyone to think in advance that they can lead the enemy to a specific hill and set a trap in advance. The only explanation is that these traps are improvised.

To be able to lay out such a tight trap in such a short period of time, if it were not for the warriors of a hundred battles who were good at mountain warfare, it would never have been possible.

Jia Xu knows the quality of the Yellow Turban Army very well. Whether it is Liu Bi or He Man, there will definitely be no such person under his command, and this new force must be commanded by an independent third person.

"I couldn't find a living thief, that's to be expected." With his hands behind his back, Jia Xu's brows furrowed slightly, raised one hand, nodded his finger to the soldiers who came to report sideways, and said, "Let the soldiers search carefully, pay attention to the blood stains in the grass, and don't let me miss a single grass." In addition, he ordered people to report to all departments and strictly investigate all those who looked suspicious, including officers and men wearing our army's uniforms and armor. ”

"No!" The soldier clenched his fists in response, turned and walked away.

"More than fifty people! The leader of the troops is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy! With his hands behind his back, Jia Xu's brain was running rapidly, and suddenly, his eyes opened hard, and he blurted out softly: "Could it be that these yellow turban thieves are led by him......?" ”

"King Hongnong, what the hell does he want to do?" Jia Xu raised his hand and stroked his beard, pacing back and forth, while secretly thinking: "Didn't he want to collect the remnants of the yellow scarf here, and suddenly attack Luoyang?" ”

Suddenly, he saw Yan Zheng's head hanging on the tree by Zhou Cang before, the human head hanging on the branch, like an unlit lantern, in the forest full of dead bodies, it didn't look very dazzling.

He stared at the head for a while, until a soldier reached out and removed the head from the branch, and then Jia Xu shook his head, rejecting Liu Wei's idea that he would gather the Yellow Turban Army to attack Luoyang.

Since Liu Wei fled Luoyang, except for this vague guess that it was he who pushed a small number of Yellow Turban troops to launch a counterattack behind his back, Luoyang has not received any news about him for a long time.

According to Jia Xu's understanding, although Liu Wei is young, he can do things step by step, and if he is not forced to be helpless, he will definitely not choose to act in a way that may not be very successful.

Attacking Luoyang, don't say 30,000 Yellow Turban Army, even if he gives him 100,000 Yellow Turban Army, I'm afraid it will not be able to break through in a month or two. Once the officers and troops were ready to launch a counterattack, the army attacking Luoyang would immediately be wiped out outside the city.

Raising his head slightly, looking at the high poplar canopy, Jia Xu's brows were tightly twisted. The expression on his face was so complicated that no one could tell what was going on in his mind at the moment.

Jia Xu in the forest was speculating about Liu Bian's next move, but at this time, Liu Bian took a group of men who had changed into officers and soldiers to climb on the slope of the hill only two mountains away from him.

Following the markers left on the descent, and climbing a few hundred steps, you should be able to reach where they had been stationed the night before.

Seeing that they were about to reach their destination, the soldiers couldn't help but feel a little excited, although their legs were heavy as if they were filled with lead, but their steps were bigger than when they first went up the mountain.

Liu Wei, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped. He waved his hand at the group behind him, crouched down and hid behind a bush.

Seeing this, everyone behind him also squatted down, with a pair of vigilant eyes, constantly looking around the surrounding environment.

The forest was so quiet that you couldn't hear the chirping of birds, and the air seemed to freeze, and the whole forest was filled with a strong air of dead silence.

Squatting behind the bushes and listening carefully for a while, Liu Wei made a set of gestures to Zhou Cang on the side, asking Zhou Cang to take a few people to take a detour from the left to a bush not far from the opposite side, and he himself led people to take a detour to the shrub on the right side of the bush.

Zhou Cang nodded, beckoned behind him, and led five men to quietly touch the bushes that Liu Wei pointed to under the cover of the bushes.

As they moved, Liu Wei also waved behind him, leading the five people to touch the bush from the other side.

The people who did not receive the order set up a solid shield in place, quietly waiting for Liu Wei to give them the order to attack.

Walking through the bushes, his body rubbed against the dense branches and leaves of the bushes, making a "rustling" sound, and after walking not far away, Liu Wei stopped the actions of several people behind him, and led them to lie motionless in the bushes.

They stopped, but the rustling continued, and it wasn't very far, at most a dozen paces away.

The sound of "rustling" got closer and closer, and it stopped when it was only three or five steps away from Liu Wei and the others.

The foliage of the bushes was so dense that it was impossible to see who was coming from the other side.

Liu Wei did not rush into action, and took five men to squat behind the bushes and wait quietly.

A little further on, it is their station, if the opposite is the Yellow Turban soldiers who come back first, as long as they shout, there is no need to confront each other like this.

But he didn't see who was hiding in the bushes at all, in case the officers and soldiers found out here, they had already cleared those Yellow Turban soldiers, and then made a sound, which would undoubtedly expose their identities and put this team of people who had finally evacuated the battlefield in danger again.

Finally, the person hiding on the opposite side couldn't hold his breath, and Liu Wei heard the rustling sound of the bushes again.

A yellow turban flashed through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the bushes in front of Liu Wei, and seeing the flashing turban, Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand at a man behind him.

"Brother, I'm waiting to get back!" Seeing Liu Wei waving his hand, the man shouted to the other side: "Mr. and General Zhou have won the battle with me!" ”

After the man's voice fell, the Yellow Turban soldiers, who were already close at hand, stopped.

There was silence in the forest again, and the Yellow Turban soldiers, who were almost just across the bushes from Liu Wei and the others, were hesitating to stand up, when there were several sounds of rustling like fights not far away, accompanied by these sounds, mixed with the muffled snorts of several people.

After a while, Zhou Cang stood up from the bushes more than twenty steps away and shouted at Liu Wei and the others: "Sir, everyone has been captured!" ”

Hearing Zhou Cang's shout, Liu Wei waved his hand at a few men behind him, and several men rushed towards the opposite side of the bush, pressing the few Yellow Turban soldiers hiding on the opposite side to the ground.

The people who listened to the shouting of the Yellow Turban soldiers were like Zhou Cang, and they were about to stand up to meet Liu Wei and the others, when suddenly a few men wearing the armor of officers and soldiers rushed over from the bushes opposite.

Before they could react, the five men who had pounced on them had already pinned them to the ground, several sharp spears pointed at their necks.

A controlled Yellow Turban soldier twisted desperately a few times, but his back was pressed against his knees by the man who controlled him, and he struggled several times, but he couldn't break free.

"Kill whatever you want, if Lao Tzu frowns, you will raise it!" Unable to break free, the Yellow Turban soldier tilted his head slightly, but he couldn't see the face of the man behind him, so he had to scold the man who was on his back.

"Let them go!" The men controlled these Yellow Turban soldiers, Liu Wei stepped forward to take a look, and saw that it was really the Yellow Turban soldiers who had withdrawn from the canyon one step earlier, so he waved his hand to the few men who controlled them and gave an order.

As soon as a few men let go of their hands, the controlled Yellow Turban soldiers jumped up, surrounded by back to back, and put on a posture of fighting with their empty hands.

When they saw clearly that it was Liu Wei and his companions who had been separated in the canyon standing in front of them, they put down their fists, sighed softly, and saluted Liu Wei with their fists in their hands, and one of them said: "Just now, I was waiting to show up to meet Mr., but I didn't want to be twisted by my brothers......"

"It's all good!" Liu Wei nodded at them and asked them, "How is the injured brother?" Is my family okay? ”

"Madame has been in the tree and has not come down the tree!" The Yellow Turban soldier who replied lowered his head, maintained a posture of clenching his hands into fists, and said in a somewhat desolate tone: "We have rescued a total of seventeen injured brothers, and six brothers have died of their injuries after coming here, and they have already gone to ......."

Hearing that six people died of serious injuries, Liu Wei's expression also became solemn. He didn't ask the Yellow Turban soldier anything more, but said to the man on the side: "Let the brothers keep going, and soon we will be at the place." ”

"Sir, these are brothers who were separated in the canyon before!" As soon as the man who got the order answered, Zhou Cang, who had already controlled the other group of Yellow Turban soldiers, shouted at Liu Wei again.

"Let the brothers help take the equipment of the officers and soldiers we brought, and then return to the station!" Liu Wei waved his hand at Zhou Cang and walked in the direction of the station first.
