Chapter 422 - Scheduled
"Qing Suo'er, don't worry." Wei Ba patted Qing Suo'er's hand, withdrew his hand quietly, and wiped away the tears and snot in one hand. "There must be a way."
"Do you really have a way?" Qing Suo'er raised her head with tears in her eyes and looked at Wei Ba pitifully.
Wei Ba smiled bitterly, two thousand elite Wu troops, led by a very experienced general, he came from afar, there were only more than six hundred people in total, and there was no large bow and crossbow, the Chen Ximan who was originally counting on had just been broken by others, no matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning. However, at this moment, if he didn't have faith, then the others would be even more broken, so although he didn't have any confidence at all, he still nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, I have a way." Wei Ba looked at Wu Jun and a long group of prisoners in the distance: "I will definitely be able to rescue your sister Jinsuo'er, as long as you are willing to help." ”
"Of course I do." Qing Suo'er nodded again and again: "What do you want me to help?" ”
Wei Ba stared at Qing Suo'er's eyes and said word by word: "I want you not to cry, so as not to invite Wu Gou." ”
"Oh? Oh! Qing Suo'er suddenly realized, quickly stopped crying, turned around embarrassedly, and wiped her tears with the back of her hand.
"Young master, what should I do?" Dunwu leaned over to Wei Ba's side and reminded softly: "The gap in numbers is too great, if we attack, we have no chance of winning." ”
Wei Ba snorted softly.
"The other party is very well deployed, and he can use such means as burning rice fields to force barbarians out of the village, and he is not a brave and unscrupulous person. If you want to lure the enemy, I'm afraid it will not be easy. Atsumu continued, "A dozen of us might be able to sneak closer. But with such a big target of five or six hundred people, I am afraid that it will be exposed ten miles away. ”
Wei Ba frowned lightly and was silent. What Dunwu said was right, strong attack, lack of strength, ambush, the other party was very cautious, and there was no chance. It's not easy to rescue these people.
But no matter how difficult it is, you have to save it, otherwise you can only go home. The mission was a complete failure. Guan Feng and Zhao Tong will not support him in the future. From now on, I honestly listened to Zhuge Liang's arrangement and became an idle official in Chengdu.
In the distance, the green mountains are sandwiched, and the clear water flows for a long time. The morale of the Wu army was accompanied by a long line of prisoners. Slowly walked towards the shore of Chenshui. There are quite a few captives. After walking for most of the day, before I could see the head, the soldiers said that four or five thousand people had been captured. It seems that it is really not a lie, and the entire Chenximan probably failed to run away from a few people.
Looking at the team that seemed to never come to an end, Wei Ba suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He turned to Qing Suo'er, who was looking at him with blank eyes, and said, "From here to the west, are there any relatively large tribes?" ”
Qing Suo'er shook her head: "A hundred miles around here, it is the largest in the Chenxi tribe. Further west, there are relatively large tribes in Mingyue Gorge. ”
Wei Ba laughed, he had seen the name of Mingyue Gorge on the map, it was the source of the Yanjiang River, and it was not far west to enter the boundary of Yizhou. Since Chenxi is the largest tribe here, presumably the Wu army will not go further west here, and they will soon have to turn back.
The force of 2,000 men now has 4,500 more prisoners, and the speed of the march must be greatly affected. It seems that the results are brilliant, but in fact, it is also a cluster of crises, as long as the planning is done properly, it is not impossible to defeat these Wu troops and rescue Chenximan.
"Tsunowu, I left Qing Suo'er here, can you make sure of her safety?"
"Young master, what about you?"
"I'm going to sneak back and discuss with them about fighting Jihua, and no one here can monitor the situation of the Wu army. Those two big dogs ......" Wei Ba lowered his voice and didn't say any more. Dunwu understood, and nodded lightly: "Don't worry, young master, I'm here." ”
"Okay." Wei Ba patted Dunwu on the shoulder, got up and called Qing Suo'er: "Qing Suo'er, I'm going back to discuss with your eldest brother how to save your sister Jin Suo'er, there is an important task to be handed over to you, can you complete it?" ”
"My lord said, I will definitely be able to do it." Qing Suo'er straightened her small chest, but her voice was low.
"I'm going to leave someone here to spy on Wu Gou." Wei Ba pointed to the two big dogs: "You have the help of the divine dog, you can ensure their safety." Only when they are safe, can I understand the situation of Wu Gou in time and rescue your sister Jinsuo'er, do you know what I mean? ”
"I understand." Qing Suo'er glanced at Dunwu and the others: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely bring them back with no hair." She paused, then changed her tone of desire and said, "Then the lord must come back quickly." ”
Wei Ba agreed repeatedly, and he was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly had an idea, and turned to Qing Suo'er and said: "Qing Suo'er, I don't know if you know, in the ancient books of our Han people, there is an ancient legend. It is said that there is a great general, invincible, and exalts the world. The reason why he is invincible is because he has the help of a divine dog. Although I am not the great general, but now with the help of the descendants of Pan Gu, I think I will be able to defeat these Wu people, don't you say? ”
Qing Suo'er blinked, obviously she hadn't heard of this great general, but Wei Ba had confidence in her divine dog, of course she couldn't ask for it, and quickly nodded vigorously.
Wei Ba left Dunwu and others to monitor the Wu army in Chenshui, and he quickly returned with a few soldiers. They ran the mountain road as fast as they could, for two hours, and finally reached the camp in the middle of the night.
The ordinary soldiers had already slept, but Guan Feng had not slept yet, sitting by the fire, hugging his knees and pondering. Hearing that Wei Ba was back, he hurriedly greeted him, and when he met, he asked, "How is it?" ”
"It's not going to be good." Wei Ba gasped rapidly, going back and forth forty or fifty miles of mountain roads, he was already so tired that he was about to collapse. When Guan Feng saw it, he naturally stretched out his hand, helped him to the campfire, asked him to sit down, took out another piece of dry food, put it in the marching pot, put two pieces of meat, poured some water, hung it on the fire and boiled it. After a short time, the fragrance overflowed, and Wei Ba took two puffs hard, "It's so fragrant!" ”
"Don't worry, you settle down first." Guan Feng took off the marching pot, handed it to Wei Ba, took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks, wiped them with the hem of his clothes, and handed them to Wei Ba. "Zhao Boren has gone to patrol the camp and will be back soon. You eat something first to replenish your strength. ”
"Okay." Wei Ba took it, didn't care about the heat, and devoured it. As soon as he finished eating, Zhao Tong came back, and when he saw Wei Ba's appearance, his brows furrowed slightly, he didn't say anything, waved his hand to signal the guards to be on guard, and sat down by the bonfire. Wei Ba wiped his mouth and told him what he had discovered. Before he finished speaking, Guan Feng and Zhao Tong's faces changed.
"Chenxi Man's army has been wiped out?"
"There are more than 2,000 Wu troops?"
Wei Ba looked at Guan Feng, then at Zhao Tong, and nodded. "Their mission has been completed, and they will soon set off to rush back to Chenyang. However, they have a large number of prisoners, and as long as they don't kill them, it is basically impossible to return to Chenyang quickly. ”
Zhao Tong asked, "Are you going to intercept them?" ”
"I have to." Wei Ba had already thought about it all the way, and he no longer hesitated at this moment: "If we want to complete this task, Wuxi Man is an important part of it." If the Wu people are allowed to capture the entire tribe of Chenxi Barbarians, the morale of the entire barbarian tribe will inevitably be frustrated, and once they decide to surrender to the Wu people, we will have little chance. He paused, and then said: "The Wu army mobilized the army this time, and the vanguard even went deep into the mountains to carry out a surprise attack on the barbarians, I think there is no doubt about their determination to exterminate the Wuxi barbarians. The prime minister sent me to Wuling to hold them back, so that they could not recruit troops and free up their hands, if they were allowed to complete it so smoothly, my mission would be considered a failure. ”
Guan Feng squinted his eyes, staring at the flickering firelight, and was silent.
Zhao Tong picked up a dry branch and stirred the fire, his face gloomy. He thought for a long time, threw the branch into the fire, clapped his hands and said: "According to what you said, that Wu general surnamed Zhou is cautious, and if you want to sneak attack him, there should be no chance, and we don't have enough strength to attack, so how are you going to fight?" ”
"Fiction and reality, cover the reality with the virtual, and replace the virtual with the real." Wei Ba said with a smile: "In this matter, I may have to help my sister of the Guan family." ”
Guan Feng raised his eyelids and glanced at Wei Ba: "It's nothing to take the lead, as long as I can win this battle, I will not hesitate." ”
Wei Ba shook his head: "Sister, this may be more difficult than you think." ”
"What's so hard about it?" Guan Feng was disdainful: "Don't worry about me, I can do what you men can do." ”
Wei Ba beckoned to Guan Feng, Guan Feng was puzzled, and Zhao Tong was present, she was embarrassed to be too close to Wei Ba, so she glanced at Wei Ba: "If you have something to say, just say it, what are you doing sneakily." ”
Wei Ba looked at Zhao Tong embarrassedly, Zhao Tong was stunned, then stood up with a smile and patted his buttocks: "I'll go on patrol, you discuss first." After speaking, without waiting for Wei Ba and Guan Feng to agree, he turned around and left in a hurry. Guan Feng was a little embarrassed, stretched out his leg and kicked Wei Ba: "Look at you, what can't you say, you have to be so mysterious and misunderstood?" ”
Wei Ba was also a little embarrassed. "Sister, you really can't say this matter in front of Zhao Tong, if you agree, it's not too late to tell him. If you don't say yes, then I'll find another way. ”
"What's the matter?" Guan Feng said as he came over. Wei Ba whispered a few words in her ear. Before he could say a few words, Guan Feng blushed and raised his hand to Wei Ba: "Stinky boy, you dare to joke with me?" ”
"Sister, I'm not kidding you." Wei Ba clasped his hands together and waved again and again: "If my sister doesn't agree, then I'll think of another way." ”
Guan Feng took a sip of him, lowered his eyelids, and was silent. Wei Ba looked at her nervously, his jihua was very risky, and he didn't know if Guan Feng would agree. After a while, Guan Feng stammered a little and said, "If you are sure, then do as you say." ”
"Sister...... Agreed? ”
Guan Feng glanced at him, and stopped talking, his face was as red as fire, and his eyes were as charming as waves.
Wei Ba was moved, and looked at Guan Feng with straight eyes. Guan Feng was uncomfortable with him, with a tiger face, he reached out and pulled out half of the battle knife. Wei Ba was startled, and hurriedly took a step back, Guan Feng burst out laughing, and said, "Don't dare to ascend to the disciple!" (To be continued......)
