"Send out men to the east and west to investigate the situation!" Seeing Gao Shun lead the army away, Liu Wei did not order the officers and soldiers not to leave the forest immediately, but instructed Zhou Cang on the side: "Within a radius of five miles, be sure to find out if there are any thieves!" ”

"No!" Zhou Cang answered, turned around to select people, and arranged for the scouts to go.

"Your Highness......" sent scouts to investigate the situation nearby, Zhou Cang returned to Liu Wei's side and whispered to him: "The scouts have already sent ......"

"Wait!" Looking at the wilderness outside the forest, Liu Wei lowered his voice and said to Zhou Cang: "There is a flat river outside the forest, as long as we go out, if there is a thief army sentry nearby, we will definitely find out our whereabouts immediately!" Gao Shun alone has as many as five or six thousand soldiers and horses, which shows that Lu Bu is using a large number of thieves this time, vowing to arrest us ......and others."

At this point, Liu Wei didn't continue, but looked at the field outside the forest and frowned slightly.

At the same time that Liu Wei saw Gao Shun's group of men and horses leaving in front of him, in the wilderness on the south side of the mountain range that was only more than twenty miles away from them, Lu Bu sat in front of the Chinese military tent, looking up at the verdant mountains not far away.

"Wen Yuan, how many people have been sent to search the mountain?" Looking at the blue mountains, Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao, who was standing aside.

"Wait back!" Zhang Liao turned around, bowed down and clenched his fists and said to Lu Bu: "Every day, our army will send 10,000 people to search the mountain, but for several days, no trace of King Hongnong can be found. ”

"King Hongnong must still be in the mountains!" Lu Bu wrinkled his brows, and did not look at Zhang Liao beside him, but stared at the rolling mountains without blinking, and said with a little annoyance in his tone: "At the beginning of the Luoyang Palace, he was able to slip away from under a certain eyelid, it was really a crisp and loud slap, if he failed to capture him this time, how would he have the face to face the world in the future?" ”

Having said this, Lu Bu waved his hand at Zhang Liao, and said in a cold tone: "You immediately arrange it, from today onwards, the number of people searching the mountain will increase by 10,000 every day, not only to search the depth of the mountain range, but also to search the north side of the mountain!" ”

"No!" Zhang Liao bowed and clenched his fists, answered, and turned around to arrange for people to strengthen Soushan.

Sitting in front of the Chinese military tent, Lu Bu frowned tightly, a few days ago he had learned from Guo Yan, who was guarding the north bank of the Yellow River, that there was a team of more than 100 people who crossed the Yellow River and came to the south bank.

Wei Xu and Zhao Shu, who had been defeated by Liu Wei, had also returned to the army, and from the mouths of the two, Lu Bu learned that they were fighting an army of more than 1,000 people.

Coupled with the fact that someone found the body of Dong Zhuojun who was killed by the Bishui River, everything was connected, Lu Bu had already thought that Liu Wei must have collected a group of remnants of the princes' army through ambush rescue after crossing the Yellow River, and now the soldiers and horses he brought should be one or two thousand people.

With such a large team, it stands to reason that it is not difficult to find. Among the men and horses sent to the mountain to search, many of them were veterans who were good at pursuit.

But ten days have passed, and Liu Wei and the others seem to have evaporated from the world, and there is no trace at all.

"King Hongnong!" Lu Bu clenched his fists tightly, his brows furrowed, and he stood up with a "Teng", the corners of his eyes twitched violently a few times, and he read out Liu Wei's title word by word.

In the north of the mountain forest, Liu Wei waited for more than an hour, and the scouts who sent Lu to investigate the situation turned back one after another.

Within a radius of five miles, there was no Dong Zhuojun, but a few scouts who went to the west to investigate brought back news, and in the woods only three or four miles away from them, traces of the army were found, and it was thought that Dong Zhuojun led by Gao Shun was stationed there the night before.

"Let's go!" Knowing that there was no Dong Zhuojun nearby, Liu Wei finally relieved himself, waved to the officers and soldiers, and took the lead in rushing out of the forest and running in the direction of due north.

A team of more than 1,000 people, following Liu Wei, rushed out of the forest in a swarm and ran towards the north.

At this time, in the south of the mountains and forests, a Dong Zhuo army of tens of thousands of people, divided into twenty teams of 500 people, entered the mountains, scattered in all directions, and looked for the whereabouts of Liu Wei and others in the mountains.

Leaving the mountains and forests, Liu Wei led the team all the way quickly, and before the sky was completely dark, he heard a huge roar from the waves of the Yellow River in front of him.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Jia Xu stood on the city wall, holding the battlements with one hand, twisting his brows slightly, looking at the direction of the northwest, and silently recited in his heart: "King Hongnong, ten days have passed, you should also go to the Yellow River, right?" ”

Taking advantage of the dim light of the setting sun, Liu Wei led the team to continue to advance towards the bank of the Yellow River.

After entering the Tiger Pass, the south bank of the Yellow River belongs to the range of Dong Zhuojun's power, and marching in places where Dong Zhuo's army is everywhere may fall into the predicament of being surrounded at any time.

And on the north bank of the Yellow River, although there is also a small amount of Dong Zhuojun, but their strength is much weaker there after all, with the team behind them, even if they confront Dong Zhuojun on the north bank of the Yellow River, Liu Wei is not afraid.

As night fell, the officers and men with night blindness had more and more difficulty walking, and the pace of the march was much slower.

The roar of the waves of the Yellow River was already deafening, and Liu Wei could even smell a faint smell of water vapor, and saw that he was about to reach the bank of the Yellow River, but the team could no longer continue to march.

He raised his hand, stopped the advance of the team, and said to Zhou Cang: "Yuanfu arranged for the soldiers to camp on the spot, and Dian Wei and I took two soldiers to the bank of the Yellow River to have a look. ”

"No!" Every time Liu Wei reached a critical moment, he always went to explore the environment in person, and Zhou Cang didn't persuade him to let others go to investigate, but just responded, turned around and shouted to the officers and soldiers who followed behind: "Soldiers, camp on the spot!" ”

Chao Dianwei nodded, and Liu Wei ran towards the bank of the Yellow River with a loud roar.

Dian Wei waved behind him, and immediately two more soldiers with normal vision followed him and rushed towards the bank of the Yellow River.

"A few of you, guard the east side, a few of you, guard the west side!" Liu Wei rushed to the shore with Dian Wei and two soldiers, and the sound of Zhou Cang's assignment came from behind him.

However, Zhou Cang's voice was soon annihilated by the roaring waves, and Liu Wei and the others did not run far before they came to the bank of the Yellow River.

Looking at the Yellow River churning with silver waves in the night, Liu Wei's brows tightened.

What appeared in front of him was not a gentle river beach, but a canyon with steep cliffs on both sides, and the rushing Yellow River roared in the canyon, setting off monstrous waves and surging towards the east.

Standing on the bank of the Yellow River, Liu Wei frowned slightly and looked towards both sides of the Yellow River.

It was only half a day's journey from the mountain range they had fled, and as long as Lü Bu thought that they had withdrawn from the mountains, he would inevitably send an army to chase them to the banks of the Yellow River.

Born against the mountain, dead against the water! Liu Wei still understands this truth, once Lu Bu surrounds them on the bank of the Yellow River, he and this army of less than 2,000 people who have just been put together will be buried on the bank of the Yellow River!

"Let's go!" Standing on the edge of the cliff, looking down at the surging Yellow River below the cliff, Liu Wei beckoned to Dian Wei and the two soldiers who followed him, and walked towards the east side of the river bank with his feet raised.

The direction he walked was the opposite direction to the road back to Woniu Mountain, and following behind him, Dian Wei didn't ask anything more although his face was full of puzzlement.

After walking about two or three miles along the bank of the river, Liu Wei stopped at the edge of a mountain cliff, furrowed his brows, and looked at the cliff on the opposite bank.

On the cliff on the opposite bank, there are a few thick old trees, although it is at night, you can still vaguely see the black shadows of those old trees.

Standing on the bank of the river, Liu Wei looked down at the bottom of the cliff.

The cliffs on both sides are very steep, and when viewed from above, except for the riverbed of the Yellow River, which glows with a silver sheen, the rest of the place is completely black, and it is impossible to see how high the cliffs are.

"Your Royal Highness......" Standing beside Liu Bian, Dian Wei stretched out his head to look at the bottom of the cliff, and sighed to Liu Bian: "What a high cliff......"

"yes!" Liu Wei nodded, slightly furrowed his brows and looked at the opposite side of the riverbank, as if he was saying to Dian Wei, and as if he was talking to himself: "The riverbed is narrow, the water is turbulent, and there are cliffs on both sides, this is simply a dead place!" ”

Standing behind Liu Bian, Dian Wei and the two soldiers were at a loss, and even Liu Wei said that they were in a dead place at the moment, and what they would face later was probably not a very good result.

"Can you use trees to ......" Dian Wei turned his head to look to the side, and saw some big trees growing on the edge of the cliff, so he said to Liu Wei: "Cut down the trees and put them on the riverbed......

"I'm afraid that as soon as I put it into the river, it will be washed away!" Liu Wei shook his head, stretched out his hand and pointed to the cliff under his feet, and said to Dian Wei: "There is also a cliff here, which is wet and slippery, and we don't have long ropes, how can we send wood to the river?" ”

"Then don't we have to go up the river?" Dian Wei furrowed his brows deeply, looked at Liu Wei and said: "Gao Shun led people to the west, if we go west along the river bank, won't they be hit by them!" However, if you go east, you will get farther away from Woniu Mountain. ”

Liu Wei lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and did not answer Dian Wei's question, but beckoned to Dian Wei and the two soldiers, and said to them: "Go to the west and have a look!" ”

Following the path they had come, the four of them turned back next to the edge of the cliff and walked all the way to the west.

The cliffs on both sides of the bank seem to be very long, and after walking for nearly an hour, what appeared in front of Liu Wei and others was the long cliff and the rushing Yellow River under the cliff.

The roar of the huge waves echoed in the ears of Liu Wei and the others, and the humid air was a little fresh, burrowing into the noses of Liu Wei and the others.

But they didn't have the heart to enjoy the comfort of the damp air, and each of them was trying to find a place to cross the Yellow River.
