White Wolf Mountain is a pearl in the land of eastern Liaodong.

With a height of more than 5,000 feet, it is not small even among many famous mountains, let alone towering over the grassland. Looking from afar, the top of the mountain is dense and dense, green as ink, and the clouds are swirling, like a fairyland, no wonder the nomadic Hu people here regard the White Wolf Mountain as a holy mountain.

The mountain is divided into two peaks, the west peak is slightly shorter, but there is a white boulder at the top of the peak, looking at it like a sheep and a wolf, the name of the white wolf mountain comes from this boulder. It is said that the Lone Bamboo Country was near the White Wolf Mountain in those days, and this mountain was regarded as a sacred mountain. King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang, and the sons of the king of Guzhu, Boyi and Shuqi brothers, refused to eat Zhou Su, and Caiwei Shouyang Mountain was here.

However, if you want to say the most famous site of White Wolf Mountain, it is Cao Cao's expedition to Wuhuan, after the great collapse of White Wolf Mountain, he stood up here to make a record.

That battle was also a battle of fame for Zhang Liao, Zhang He, and Xu Huang under Cao Cao's account. Zhang Liao led the Bingzhou elite cavalry to charge ahead, Zhang He led his halberd warriors, and Xu Huang led the Hedong warriors to follow closely behind, rushing bravely to kill and destroy its front first. Cao Cao was able to break down, and these three people contributed the most.

However, although they made great contributions in that battle, it did not have much impact on them personally. Zhang Liao did not become famous until the Battle of Xiaoyaojin in the twentieth year of Jian'an, Xu Huang did not become famous until he defeated Guan Yu in Fancheng in the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an, and Zhang He did not become a one-man general until the Battle of Longyou.

The five good generals, in fact, are also different, in Cao Cao's mind, Yu Ban and Le Jin, who are slightly less famous, are far more important than Zhang Liao, Zhang He and Xu Huang, who are famous. The most important reason for this is that they had the earliest time with Cao Cao, while Zhang Liao and the three were relatively late. And it's all demoted.

"Choice is more important than hard work." Standing in front of the Ji Gong Monument, Wei Ba said with emotion.

Fa Miao was a little uneasy. From time to time, he looked into the distance and urged Wei Ba to leave. Originally, it was said that haode went around the White Wolf Mountain, showed his face, hit a few wild animals, left a sign of a visit here, and then quickly returned. But Wei Ba seemed to like the scenery of White Wolf Mountain, and he forgot to return, just in front of this monument. It stopped for most of the hour. There is no intention of leaving yet.

"General, let's go." Fa Miao smiled bitterly: "Wait any longer, you will choose to fight against Wu Qiu Jian." ”

"You mean to say that Wu Qiu Jian will definitely come?"

Fa Miao was stunned. Hurriedly shook his head and said, "I'm worried that he will come." ”

"No, it won't." Wei Ba climbed the boulder. He pulled out a copper pipe from his bosom. Put it on your eyes and look far away. Autumn has arrived, and the grass is turning yellow. If a knight of the Wei army wearing Xuan armor appeared on the grassland, it would be very eye-catching, and he would definitely be able to find it. However, he saw nothing, only the endless grassland, like a huge golden carpet.

"General, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case."

Wei Ba disagreed, and continued to tease: "Boyuan, you said, if Wu Qiu Jian is ambushed somewhere, waiting for me, can I kill it?" ”

Fa Miao smiled bitterly: "General, do you really want to wait here?" ”

"Since you're here, Weishenme won't be for a while? I also want to see if he has improved over the years. ”

"The general knows he's coming?"

"Haven't seen it yet." Wei Ba sat down again, clasping his hands on his knees. "However, I cherish him and know that he will not let go of such an opportunity easily, and he will definitely wait for me somewhere."

Fa Miao hurriedly said, "Then why don't we leave quickly?" We only have a hundred horsemen, and we are no match for him. ”

"Boyuan, sometimes quantity does not mean quality." The corner of Wei Ba's mouth was slightly raised: "If you come, you will be safe, the scenery here is good, enjoy it." As soon as Qiu Jian came, there was no time to look at it again. At that time, I showed you the gift I had prepared for Wu Qiu Jian. ”

Fa Miao closed his mouth, his face a little ugly. Wei Ba took the initiative to fight against Wu Qiujian, which was beyond his expectations.

……

Eighty miles away, in the Wild Wolf Valley, Wu Qiu Jian looked at the Han army scout with a calm face, his eyes narrowed into a line, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade.

He hid here for seven or eight days, and he didn't wait for the news that Wei Ba had come to White Wolf Mountain. Just when he was about to give up, an unexpected guest came. This guest told him that Wei Ba had already gone ashore and was rushing to White Wolf Mountain with one hundred and twenty horsemen, and according to their speed, they should have reached White Wolf Mountain by now. He will spend half a day at White Wolf Mountain and set off before sunset to return.

"Who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that this opportunity is rare." The people who came were very calm, obviously prepared. "Wei Ba is now in a high position and has rarely experienced the battlefield in person. It is almost impossible to kill him on the battlefield. This may be your only chance, and if you miss it, you may never have such a chance again in your life. ”

Wu Qiu Jian frowned, he knew that this person was right, if he wanted to kill Wei Ba, this might be the best opportunity. He didn't worry about someone deceiving him, although he was eighty miles away from White Wolf Mountain, but he had arranged a lot of scouts near White Wolf Mountain, and soon he would get the news of Wei Ba's arrival, and he could also know how many people they had, which was enough to verify that what this person said was true or false.

However, if it was really as he said, Wei Ba only planned to stay in White Wolf Mountain for half a day, he would have to set off now. Otherwise, before nightfall, he can't catch up with Wei Ba, but if Wei Ba finds out, Wei Ba is likely to break through at night. Both sides are cavalry, and Wei Ba has two horses, his horses are insufficient, and he has to gallop eighty miles first, the horsepower consumption is too large, the speed will inevitably suffer, it is difficult to catch up with Wei Ba, and he can only watch Wei Ba slip away from under his nose, losing an opportunity that may change the fortunes of the Great Wei.

In the face of such a great opportunity, Wu Qiujian was a little hesitant. The younger brother Wuqiu Xiu has already returned to Liaoxi, leading a thousand Lulong border troops, and is coming with grain and grass, and there is still a day to go, so he can meet him. With this grain and grass, he will not be able to starve, and if he leaves now, he may be in danger of running out of food.

However, if you don't leave now, when Wuqiu Xiu arrives, Wei Ba will probably leave too.

Don't be in a dilemma, his face is red for a while, and white for a while. He muttered for a long time, until a scout rushed in and reported to him that he had found Wei Ba's traces, and then he made up his mind and stood up: "Let's go!" ”

Wuqiu Jian left a few people to welcome Wuqiu Xiu, and he led a thousand horsemen to the White Wolf Mountain.

Once the decision was made, Wu Qiu Jian no longer hesitated and ordered all the knights to move forward at full speed. Eighty miles, if you go at full speed, you can reach White Wolf Mountain in an hour and a half, and you can completely intercept Wei Ba. Doing so is a huge test of the horse's physical strength, after galloping for eighty miles, the horse's remaining physical strength is limited, and the combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly reduced. However, Wu Qiu Jian was still confident, because he had nearly a thousand horsemen, while Wei Ba only had one hundred and twenty stones, and his absolute superiority in strength could offset his physical weakness.

On the contrary, if Wei Ba could not be surrounded in time and the two sides began to chase for a long distance, then he would have no chance at all.

Whether or not Wei Ba can be surrounded in time is the key to success or failure.

Don't be thrifty and gallop.

An hour later, he was only thirty miles away from White Wolf Mountain. He ordered the soldiers to rest for a while, feed the horses once, drink some water, and prepare for the battle later. He sat on the sidelines, nibbling on dry food, while gathering the news from the scouts and making a pre-war jihua.

The closer you get to White Wolf Mountain, the more scouts are reported, and the more timely and accurate the news is. Wei Ba is on the White Wolf Mountain, just in front of the Ji Gong Monument of Emperor Wu, there are only more than 100 horses around him, and there are a similar number of horses, whether it is a person or a horse, they are all strong, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. But Wu Qiu Jian is not worried about this, one hundred and twenty horses, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness is, it cannot offset the disparity in numbers. What he was worried about was that Wei Ba had discovered his traces and began to retreat in advance.

Thirty miles is a common distance for scouts to reconnoitre, and Wei Ba should have put the scouts so far when he went deep into the dangerous situation. So far, he hasn't spotted Wei Ba's scouts, but he must be prepared to be discovered.

After repeated consideration, Wu Qiu Jian divided the 1,000 cavalry into five teams, two teams with a total of 400 people to the south, around Wei Ba's back ten miles, ready to intercept Wei Ba, the remaining three teams advanced in an inverted zigzag, five miles between each other, he led a team to the rear, like a giant crab wielding two chelicera, two chelicerae one left and one right clamped Wei Ba, and then personally broke through from the middle, 600 people besieged 120 people, five to one advantage, even if the loss was a little bigger, it was enough to hit Wei Ba hard. In this way, even if Wei Ba broke through and escaped, it would be difficult for him to escape in the face of the pursuit of the other two teams.

Wu Qiu Jian feels that this plan is the most secure plan, both offensive and defensive. As long as he can kill Wei Ba, he is willing to bury all these thousand Wuhuan riders here, including himself.

After resting for half an hour, Wu Qiujian looked at the sun that began to move westward, smiled slightly, and said to the knights who were gearing up: "I heard that Wei Ba is so hedonistic, he brought a lot of food with him, kill him, and we will also taste his craftsmanship." ”

The knights roared, and flew on their horses in high spirits. The uninvited guest just smiled and got on his horse. Wu Qiu Jian glanced at him: "Do you want to follow?" ”

The man smiled: "I don't want to follow, but will you let me go?" ”

The corners of Wu Qiujian's mouth twitched, he took a shield from the hand of the guard, and threw it to him: "Be careful, don't be shot by stray arrows." ”

The man took the shield in his hand, shook it, and said with a smile: "Thank you, envoy." ”

Wu Qiu Jian looked at him for a moment: "Your skills are good, follow me in the future." ”

"Thank you for the general's praise, I am ashamed that I can't obey my fate. I'm going back to my life. ”

Wu Qiu Jian sighed, didn't say anything more, kicked the horse's belly, and galloped away.

The knights got on their horses and began to accelerate slowly, more than six hundred horsemen, divided into three teams, two teams in front and one team in the back, and galloped away in the direction of White Wolf Mountain. The other four hundred people were divided into two teams, and they had already galloped south before that, preparing to cut off Wei Ba's retreat.

"Quick! Fast! Wu Qiu Jian urged repeatedly, and his heart rose to his throat. There are still thirty miles away from the White Wolf Mountain, and it will take half an hour to advance at full speed, hoping to reach the bottom of the White Wolf Mountain, Wei Ba has not left yet
