Xiangfu led more than 200 barbarian soldiers up the mountain to ambush, and Wei Ba and others continued to advance. Not to mention that Sun Luban was injured, even if he was not injured, they couldn't keep up with the soldiers and spearmen who were flying like a fly. Zhao Tong had no choice but to put two stretchers with spears and carry them away.

Sun Luban was probably stupid by Wei Ba's knife, and she didn't speak for a whole day, lying on the stretcher like a corpse, except for the ups and downs of the stretcher, she didn't react at all. Wei Ba was a man of his word, and he never gave Sun Luban medicine again, and no one was allowed to give her medicine, the reason was very simple, this kind of medicine for treating external injuries was very precious, it was used to save the life of the most precious soldier, and it could not be wasted on this stupid woman.

Wei Ba led his army on a day's journey, crossed Youshui, and set up camp in a mountain col. After arranging the surrounding guards, Wei Ba lit a fire in the hidden place, sat by the fire and fell into deep thought.

It had been ten days since he escaped from Yiyuan, and he had traveled more than 600 miles, and all of them were mountain roads. The speed was not unfast, but Bu Qi kept following behind, neither being thrown off by him nor catching up. This situation made Wei Ba very vigilant, and unlike Xiangfu, he had a very high vigilance against Buqi.

What kind of person Bu Qi is, he has no impression in his previous life, but now, he doesn't dare to take Bu Qi lightly. When he set out from Yong'an and entered the Wu realm, Fei Yi had carefully discussed the situation of Buqi with him. Bu Qi can get to this point, not just because his daughter is Sun Quan's favored Mrs. Bu. His own abilities are also obvious to all. His greatest achievement was to kill Cangwu Taishou Wu Ju and control Jiaozhou Haoqiang Shixie. Weizhen Jiaozhou, Yizhou surnamed Yonghong and others had contacted Buqi before the rebellion. Later, Liu Bei went eastward, he was ordered to go north to guard Lingling and Guiyang counties, and the reason why Sun Quan was able to attack Xiangyang with all his strength was because Buqi held his rear.

Now, because Lu Xun was too close to the family of Wu County, he was suspicious of Sun Quan and was left in Wuchang, and Buqi took on the important task of guarding the west gate of Jingzhou. Although it is related to Sun Quan's idea of reusing Jianghuai people. But Buqi's own strength is also one of the important factors to consider.

Years of conquest. Buqi is not only skilled in battle formations, especially has a clear understanding of mountain warfare and jungle warfare, but also has powerful subordinates. There are 10,000 troops under his command, all of whom are gradually closing in the thugs. Familiar with the elite of jungle warfare. Individual soldiers may not be as strong as military soldiers. But in terms of overall strength, Bu Qi was sure enough to catch up and beat Wei Ba and the others to the ground.

But he didn't push too hard, but kept a distance. He didn't let Wei Ba and the others out of his sight, and he didn't rush to catch up. Wei Ba suspected that Bu Qi had another conspiracy, and he might be waiting for some opportunity.

Wei Ba thought about it, and felt that the biggest possibility was nothing more than to let people go around to them first, set up an ambush, and then attack them from both sides, and wipe them out. If you want to say that the most haode ambush location, there is no more Youshui in the west of Lishan.

Attacking halfway is not only a killer weapon for large army operations, but also a tactic that cannot be ignored for jungle warfare.

Fighting in dense thickets, the biggest problem is not how to kill the enemy, but to find the enemy in this way, to catch up with the enemy. Because of the terrain, fighting in the mountains and forests is destined to be a battle between life and death and only respite. You don't have as much time to prepare as you do on the plains, and when you spot an enemy, you're sure to be close to them, and the speed of that momentary reaction can make the difference between life and death.

When crossing the river, there is no shelter on the surface of the river, and the whereabouts will inevitably be exposed. And if there is an enemy ambush on both sides of the strait, it will be very difficult for you to find out. This is the most dangerous time, and when you reach the shore, it is likely that a large group of enemies will be waiting for you, or you will simply be mercilessly attacked on the river.

For the sake of safety, Wei Ba crossed the Youshui first, and then lurked in the mountains and forests, waiting for news of his husband. He refused to fight back with Xiangfu, but he couldn't leave Xiangfu alone, if he left like this, he would rush to Wuxi and take out the Xuanqi order, and he would not be respected by Wuximan. He must rescue his husband, even his corpse, in order to gain Wuximan's approval.

Let the husband suffer a little, and rescue the husband and win the support of these barbarians, these are not contradictions, but complement each other.

More than 150 people hid in the mountains and forests, and the soldiers scattered around, taking the role of vigilance in place of the barbarians. Wei Ba hadn't been here, but he had a map in his hand that was so detailed that he knew where he was. The reason why he dared to accept this task was that the map and the Gourd Order were indispensable bargaining chips.

When you enter the jungle to fight, the most worrying thing is not to run out of food, in the dense jungle, there are countless ways to find food for an elite squad like a martial guard. What they are most worried about is getting lost, and once they get lost, it is normal to go around in the mountains for several months. To get around the mountains with ease, you need to find a local who knows the terrain as a guide, or you need to have an accurate and detailed map.

Wei Ba had such a map in his hand. This map is incomplete, but the remnants include the main areas in Wuling County, which is enough to ensure that Wei Ba's battle in Wuling County can be carried out smoothly. According to the situation of the map, Wei Ba suspected that the missing part was probably the Qike County of Yizhou, and someone kept that half of the map in his hand, perhaps because he didn't want him to enter Yizhou, or maybe he wanted to see his ability before deciding whether to make further investments.

Youshui is one of the so-called five streams of Youxi, crossing Youshui, and then going south not far away, is the haunt of Youximan. Xiangfu is Xiongxi Man, but Xiongxi is in the southernmost part of Wuling. He has a lot of contact with Youxi, but it is not a family. The reason why he wanted to defeat Bu Qi and then go was probably because he didn't want to be chased into Youximan's territory like a dog, so he wanted to go back with his head held high.

For these aggressive brutes, face is sometimes more important than life.

Wei Ba focused the scouts on the downstream of Youshui, and he estimated that if Buqi had other arrangements, it was most likely to come downstream from Youshui.

While Wei Ba was waiting for the ambush to appear, Sun Luban was suffering from a worsening wound. I had a fever, I couldn't wake up, and I was full of nonsense. When Wei Ba got the news, he just hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand: "Let her fend for herself, if she can survive, then continue to take her away, if she dies, dig a pit on the spot and bury her." ”

The spearmen of the Zhao family who came to report didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly left. It didn't take long. Zhao Tong came in a huff. couldn't help but say, dragged Wei Ba in front of Sun Luban, pointed at Sun Luban, who was flushed, and said angrily: "Look at it." Look. You don't give any more medicine. And she was doomed. ”

Wei Ba broke Zhao Tong's hand, glanced at it indifferently, and then turned his head. looked at Zhao Tong: "If you had asked me to kill her at that time, there would be no such trouble now." Since you have taken the trouble on yourself, you will be responsible to the end. Medicine, no! I'm going to keep saving the useful. Punishment, there is one! You rushed into the official, and you were lawless, I will give you a big demerit first, and give you a chance to atone for your sins. If you don't care about it anymore, you can take your people and leave, lest they die here in vain because of your hot-headedness. ”

Zhao Tong listened, his face was red. Those spearmen of the Zhao family originally complained about Wei Ba's refusal to save people, and after listening to Wei Ba's words, they knew that Wei Ba Weishenme refused to save people, because in his mind, the lives of these ordinary soldiers were not cheaper than the princess of Wu State. Wei Baning kept a little more medicine, and he might be able to save one more soldier in the future. As warriors, the medicine that heals the wounds is the medicine that saves lives, but they have never dared to compare their lives with the lives of princesses.

"Wei Jun, please be merciful and save the princess's life." Pan Ziyu burst into tears, threw herself down in front of Wei Ba, and kowtowed again and again.

"I've already given the medicine and won't give it again." Wei Ba resolutely pushed Pan Ziyu away, and just as he was about to say more, a military soldier hurriedly walked over and whispered a few words in Wei Ba's ear. Wei Ba's eyes tightened: "Really? ”

"Seriously." The martial artist nodded affirmatively: "It was his subordinates who saw it with their own eyes." ”

Wei Ba laughed, paced back and forth for two steps, and couldn't help laughing.

"Ziyu, what's wrong?" Although Zhao Tong had just been reprimanded by Wei Ba in public, he couldn't help but ask at this moment.

Wei Ba glanced at him: "There are a lot of warships coming down from Youshui, they are the county soldiers of Wuling County of the Wu Army, and the leader of the troops is Wuling Tai Guard. ”

Zhao Tongyi was shocked, and then relieved: "That's great." In this way, we not only have ships, but also food and medicine. ”

Wei Ba glared at him angrily: "You said it easily, Wei Jing has more than a thousand people and more than 30 boats, so easy to fight?" ”

……

Under the protection of the guards, Wei Jing stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the dark mountain shadows on both sides, listening to the sound of rushing water, and his heart was surging.

Wei Jing and Bu Qi are good friends, they fled to Jiangdong together, but Wei Jing is not as strong as Bu Qi, nor does he have a deep background like Bu Qi, so his career in Wu over the years has not been satisfactory, and now he is just a Wuling Taishou. Wuling Taishou sounds good, in fact, the area really controlled is very limited, the area where Wuling Taishou's orders can really be implemented is less than one-third of the area of the whole county, after Youshui and Yuanshui, it is the scope of Wuximan, Wei Jing is not effective, of course he cannot be promoted.

Now, his friend Buqi is in charge of Xiling, and pursues Wei Ba, of course, he left this good opportunity to Wei Jing, and notified Wei Jing to lead his troops to intercept him as soon as possible, so that he could intercept Wei Ba's way, and then catch them all, rescue the princess, and take the big work alone. If this is done, presumably Sun Quan will not hesitate to reward.

Wei Jing knew that this was a great opportunity, and after receiving the news, he didn't have time to gather more people, so he set off with more than a thousand people. Bu Qi said that it is estimated that the enemy will not exceed five hundred, at most six or seven hundred people, and it is enough to intercept them with a thousand sailors, not to mention that they still have warships, sufficient armaments, and more than 3,000 elites led by Bu Qi behind. As long as Wei Jing stopped Wei Ba and prevented them from crossing the Youshui smoothly, this credit was like picking up something.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Wei Jing decided to go into battle himself. A day earlier, he had received news from Buqi that Wei Ba and the others had arrived at Lishan, and according to their speed estimates, they would reach Youshui in two days after tomorrow, and from here they would cross Youshui and enter the mountains on the west side.

Wei Jing didn't dare to slack off, he entered the position in advance, and waited for Wei Ba and the others to arrive tomorrow and catch them all.

"This is the only ferry port, and the warship is divided into two parts, and the ambush is laid on both sides of the ferry, and after the thieves cross the water, they are copied from the back." Wei Jing pointed to the calm water: "The main force is ambushed on the west bank, prepare more bows and crossbows, and after they are surrounded, fire bows and crossbows to shoot these thieves who dare to kidnap the princess." ”

"Whoa!" The soldiers around Wei Jing responded in unison, and they all turned around to prepare.

Wei Jing stroked his beard and smiled slightly: "The cage is ready, just waiting for the tiger to enter the cage." When I catch Wei Ba, I want to see what kind of character he is, not only playing tricks on the auxiliary generals, but also escaping from Buzishan's hands. ”

"The prince of the mansion is wise, if he captures Wei Ba alive this time and rescues the princess, the king will inevitably look at the monarch differently." Liao An, the elegant-looking chief bookkeeper next to him, said with a smile: "The battle in Wuling may be fully responsible for the Fujun in the future, as for the generals of Fenwei, please return the same way." ”

Hearing Pan Jun's name, Wei Jing smiled disappreciably, but smiled a little reluctantly. There was a rebellion in Wulingman, and as the Taishou of Wuling, he was unable to quell the rebellion, and he also asked Sun Quan to transfer Pan Jun to command, which was obviously not a pleasant situation.
