Chapter 727: Sudden Variables
"Report !!!"
The high-pitched call of the sentry rider was accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps.
Zhou Zhi looked anxious, and his heart sank. "What?"
"General Qiyu, General Yang Ling attacked Cao Jundong's camp at night, but encountered an empty camp!"
"Empty camp?" Zhou Zhi's eyes widened in disbelief. "What's going on?"
"General Hui, the specific situation is unknown, General Yang Ling was worried about being ambushed, and hurriedly withdrew, but it was also unimpeded, General Yang Ling was worried that General Liu Xian, who was going to the northwest, would be ambushed, and he had rushed to the northwest to rescue, and at the same time sent more than 20 horsemen such as his subordinates to report."
In an instant, Zhou Zhi's brain exploded!
Empty camp? How could it be an empty camp? Where did Cao Jun go?
If you know that we have robbed the camp, it should also be an ambush, how can it be an empty camp?
Thinking about the current situation with lightning in his mind, suddenly, Zhou Zhi had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and looked at the sergeant who reported the news in front of him and asked urgently: "Have you seen any signs of Cao's sentry cavalry activities along the way?" ”
"Many! A lot! We encountered dozens of Cao Jun sentry horsemen along the way, but they all avoided each other when they saw it from a distance! The man replied.
"Oops!"
A string in Zhou Zhi's heart seemed to suddenly break, and he didn't care to say more, and hurriedly ordered the generals accompanying him: "He Man, you take three thousand cavalry, immediately go south to chase the Nanban armor guards, and after joining them, break through and retreat to Wuyin together." ”
"No!"
He Man took the order and left, although he didn't know the specific situation now, but just from Zhou Zhi's expression, he had also woken up to the fact that the shape was very critical.
Zhou Zhi didn't dare to delay, worried about the safety of Yang Ling and Liu Xian. Hastily led the troops to the northwest.
In his opinion. Cao Jun must have seen through tonight's actions. Although it is impossible to accurately determine how the other side will set up an ambush, the most important thing at the moment is to gather as many scattered forces as possible and then retreat to Wuyin. As for the next situation, it is no longer in his scope of consideration, and it is a blessing to be able to survive the current level!
On the starry night, the field of vision was still very broad, and Zhou Zhi led the army to move forward quickly. There are countless possibilities in my mind.
The entire army was also elite enough at this time, and in addition to the command of the generals of the various departments and the dense sound of horses' hooves stomping on the ground, there was no noise to be heard during the entire march.
It was about five or six miles fast!
Suddenly, a long roar with a majestic aura shattered the sky, like a tiger's roar.
The soldiers of the Chu State who were marching quickly were all shocked when they heard the sound, and Zhou Zhi instantly identified the direction where the person was, and a pair of eyes suddenly radiated a fierce murderous aura, looking at the person who came.
He could already hear it clearly from his voice, and the person just now was definitely a master beyond imagination. The majesty of inner breath is rare in the world.
A moment later, there was another loud shout of questioning. Under the support of the majestic inner breath, it appears particularly high-pitched.
"The leader in front is Wang Xu? Or Zhou Zhi and Zhang Jing? ”
"Huh?"
Zhou Zhi was suspicious, a little unsure of what the person meant, but he still hurriedly turned the reins of the horse, and ran out of the army array diagonally with twenty or thirty horsemen of his henchmen, located on the side, and replied with a solemn gaze: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
"Down to the sky!"
"To the sky? Which to the sky? Zhou Zhi was confused.
The man reacted quickly, and then shouted loudly: "Your Excellency, do you know that the rolling Yangtze River is passing away, the waves are sweeping away the heroes, the success or failure is empty, the green mountains are still there, how many degrees of sunset is red?" If you don't know, forgive me for many things, and then leave! ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zhi instantly understood, he knew very well that this passage was written by the later writer Yang Shen, so he could understand the name of the person who came to think of it.
Xiangtian, Wang Xu also told him and Zhang Jing.
Although Xiang Tian had never seen this, he had already expected it, so he had just said that.
"Hahaha...... It turns out that you guy who likes to hide behind and pick up bargains! I'm Zhou Zhi! ”
There was no reply, but quickly leaped out of the dense forest, his steps fluttering, showing an otherworldly light-weight technique.
Zhou Zhi and dozens of horsemen and guards stood in place and waited, while the other soldiers were still moving forward quickly and methodically behind him.
Xiang Tian was dressed in white, holding a folding fan, floating out of the dust, although he jumped quickly, but he did not stick to a leaf, and his style was good.
When they were five meters apart, they stopped to the sky, and their eyes were facing each other, and they were all relatively gentle.
Zhou Zhi saw Xiang Tian inadvertently looking at the guards behind him, couldn't help but smile, and then ordered: "Brothers, come and wait for me next to me, I have some personal matters to discuss with the person in front of me." ”
"No!"
The personal guards at the head responded, but they looked at the sky vigilantly, and then beckoned everyone to retreat more than twenty steps.
It was only at this time that Xiang Tiancai finally put away his gentle smile and said quite sternly: "Zhou Zhi, you immediately change the armor on your body and replace it with an ordinary soldier, the sooner the better!" ”
"Why?"
Zhou Zhi didn't expect his mouth to speak like this.
"Don't go to the northwest, the Cao army over there is an ambush with heavy troops, not only the northwest, but also the southwest, south, and east are all ambushes, and now the only way out is to immediately break through in the direction of Wuyin in the southeast, if you go to the northwest to meet the soldiers of the Chu State, you will die! As far as I know, there are no killers over there, just to lure you big fish over to the rescue! ”
Zhou Zhi listened quietly to what he said, looked at it carefully, and then said slowly: "Even if what you said is true, how can I not save it?" Now that I am in shape, as long as I personally lead the army to break through the siege, and the forces of the Cao army in this place have been dispersed, can An stop me? ”
"Have you ever played Lejin?"
"I don't know, I haven't hit!"
"Have you beaten Xu Chu?"
"Invincible!"
"Can you beat Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?"
"Invincible!"
"Have you ever beaten Wen Chou?"
"Still defeated!"
"Have you ever beaten Juyi?"
"I haven't fought before, I heard that it's fierce?"
After Zhou Zhi finished speaking, he saw that Xiang Tian still wanted to continue asking, so he became a little impatient.
"Xiangtian, what exactly do you want to say?"
The words were interrupted, and Xiang Tian was not angry, but took a deep breath and said lightly.
"Cao Cao is in Nanyang now!"
"What?" Zhou Zhi was stunned and asked in disbelief, "You say it again!" ”
"It's okay to say it a few times, Cao Cao is in Nanyang, and he just arrived in the evening, not long before Cao Ren ordered to stop the siege!" Xiang Tian looked at Zhou Zhi with a tough attitude.
"Not only that, including Xu Chu, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Wen Chou, Ju Yi, Cao Zhang, Cao Ang, Xiahou Shang, etc., in short, all the elite soldiers and strong generals under Cao Cao have come over, and there are also elite generals with them, what is the first to die, tiger pawns, Qinglong sword guards, white-eared elite soldiers, etc., and even a whole 10,000 tigers and leopards."
Xiang Tianzhen was speechless, and in Zhou Zhi's stunned voice, he said in one breath: "In addition, Cao Cao also brought dozens of heroic masters of various factions under his control, more than 100 people in the five senses directly under the palace Zhonglang, and other ordinary masters are unknown, if you think you can resist, then you go!" I just want to ask, where's the boss? It doesn't matter if you die, the boss can't die, he's already our only hope! ”
Zhou Zhi was stunned, his face obviously showing disbelief and consternation, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
After a few breaths of silence, he shook his head suddenly, and scolded in disbelief: "Xiangtian, you scare me? You're full, and you're running around fooling me about what you're doing? Cao Cao led the people back to conquer and merge the state, how could he come to Nanyang? Besides, with such a big movement, we don't have any intelligence on our side? ”
Shaking the folding fan to the sky, shaking his head and saying, "I don't know if the spy has gotten the information, but at least it hasn't been able to reach you!" ”
"How do you know? How can I trust you? ”
Zhou Zhi was obviously unwilling to believe this side of the story, although Xiang Tian had been approved by Wang Xu, he was not familiar with this person after all.
"I made friends with Liu Bei earlier, he has been looking for opportunities to rise, seeing that I am extraordinary in martial arts, and erudite, so I have a heart of love, I want me to follow him, I was in Youzhou a few days ago, I was also there to eat and drink, and then I have been following him until this secret south. Everything I say is what I have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears, and there is absolutely no falsehood. ”
"Originally, when I arrived in the evening, I should have rushed to inform the boss, but unfortunately Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei dragged me to eat together, and I was never allowed to get out until I started to act at night, and I took advantage of the chaos to get the opportunity to get out. As for you not believing it, I can't help it, if you insist on going to the northwest, then I will advise you one last time, take off the armor on your body, ambush tonight, Cao Jun's order is not to defeat the Chu soldiers, but to hunt down the boss and a few of your main generals, if you don't hide, you will definitely die. ”
"But I changed my armor and costume, how can I command the army?" Zhou Zhi asked.
"Didn't I say that you should break through quickly? What else to command? When Xiang Tian said this, he was also a little impatient, and then continued: "Okay, what do you want, I can't help it, you tell my boss now, I have to see him!" ”
Zhou Zhi was silent at the moment, he was analyzing the possibility of what Xiang Tian said.
After a long time, he finally made his choice and replied softly: "Don't worry! The boss has already left with Zhang Jing pretending to be a civilian, on the way back to Xiangyang! ”
"What?" Xiang Tian's face changed instantly, and he was anxious: "Which direction, go and chase it back." ”
"They pretend to be civilians and walk mountain roads, who can threaten them?" Zhou Zhi saw that his demeanor did not seem to be fake, and asked out loud.
"I have already said that the main purpose of Cao Cao this time is to hunt and kill the boss, and there are countless heroic masters brought by him, and now there are groups of masters in all directions, and the ghosts can't get out, as long as the whereabouts of the boss are discovered, then they will be surrounded and killed by countless masters in an instant, and the only way is to lead the troops to break through to Wuyin, and the boss and you all pretend to be ordinary soldiers, so that there is a glimmer of life in the melee."
