Chapter 62: The Formation of Suspicions

The men under Liu Wei took advantage of the layout prepared in advance to annihilate all the officers and soldiers brought by Gao Shun in the outer courtyard of the house, and in less than an hour, only Gao Shun and the four soldiers who followed him were still alive in the team of more than 100 people.

Escorted by Dian Wei and others, he walked to the gate of the house, Gao Shun stopped and turned his head to look at the row of houses in the outer courtyard.

There were more than 100 white bodies piled up at the door of the house, and the rain washed on the small mountain of corpses, and the red blood water rolled down from the mountain and gathered in the low-lying part of the courtyard, forming a small blood-colored pond.

Looking at the corpses piled up into a hill, Gao Shun sighed lightly, and walked out of the house with the four guards he carried with him, escorted by Dian Wei and others.

Gao Shun walked out of the gate of the house, and Liu Wei walked out of the inner courtyard. Tang Ji followed behind him, holding an umbrella for him step by step.

With his hands behind his back, looking at Gao Shun's back as he gradually moved away, Liu Wei asked Tang Ji on the side softly, "Do you not understand why I let Gao Shun go?" ”

In this sentence, he was asking Tang Ji, and at the same time, he was also asking Zhou Cang and Dian Wei who were standing by the gate of the house.

Looking up slightly at Liu Wei standing in front of him, Tang Ji shook his head in confusion. She really didn't understand why Liu Wei wanted to let Gao Shun go, they were evading the pursuit of the officers and soldiers, and letting Gao Shun go would only bring them more trouble once they attracted a large number of officers and soldiers.

"Gao Shun is a fierce general, and being reluctant to kill him is just one of the reasons to let him go!" The corners of Liu Wei's mouth slightly pulled out a confident smile, and said to Tang Ji: "More than 100 officers and soldiers were wiped out before they entered the town for only one hour, which is really a big deterrent for the officers and soldiers. Niu Fu will definitely concentrate his forces before marching towards the town. The only thing I'm worried about is Jia Xu, Gao Shun said that Jia Xu has also come nearby, and if I don't leave here sooner, I'm afraid I'll cause a lot of trouble. ”

"What is the husband going to do with it?" Tang Ji pursed her lips first, then looked at Liu Wei and asked in a low voice, the question she asked was exactly what Zhou Cang and Dian Wei wanted to ask, and the two also turned their heads and looked at Liu Wei, as if they wanted to see the answer from his face.

In Tang Ji's mind, Liu Wei's mind is extremely delicate, and his actions are almost exhaustive. The characters who can make Liu Biandu feel threatened will definitely not be simple.

Liu Wei didn't answer Tang Ji's question immediately, he just looked up at the sky, and after a long while, he said as if talking to himself: "The sky should be clear......

God seemed to really favor Liu Wei as Jia Xu said, and before dusk came, the rain that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

The setting sun hangs in the sky as pure as water, casting a pale golden light on the earth, and the town seems to have just been thoroughly cleaned, fresh and clean, giving people a sense of tranquility and leisure.

"Yuanfu, go and tell the brothers, change into brand new clothes and armor, bring a change of clothes and enough dry food for each person to eat on the road, and prepare some torches, which can be used for emergency relief if you need to travel at night! No money is allowed in the house for private use, and then you go and bring all the horses here, and I will save a lot when I have horses on the road!" Looking up at the sky, Liu Wei gave an order to Zhou Cang, who was standing not far away.

Zhou Cang answered, turned around and walked into the house, and told the men to pack up quickly and prepare to follow Liu Wei to set off.

Since coming to the town, Liu Wei is ready to leave at any time, each man has already wrapped the clothes and dry food needed for departure, not long after Zhou Cang conveyed the order, dozens of men lined up in a line, standing in the outer courtyard, waiting for Liu Wei to give the order to leave.

A few steps behind the group of men, more than a dozen horses were tied to wooden stakes. The horse was raised by Zhu Jun to report to the outside world, and Zhu Jun previously sent someone to Niu Fu to convey the news of Liu Wei's arrival in the town, which also used the horse's foot power.

The seriously injured man was also carried out by his companions, and they sat on the stretcher that had been tied up a day earlier, and looked up at Liu Wei who was standing in front of him.

"Brothers, it's getting dark!" Standing in front of this group of men, Liu Wei first looked up at the sky, and then said to the men: "But I can't wait any longer to delay here!" Dong Zhuo wants us to die, if we live for a day, he will be restless for a day! We must leave here as soon as possible and stay away from Dong Zhuo's power in order to live for a long time! ”

A pair of eyes looked at Liu Wei, and the men all frowned slightly. It was Liu Wei who brought them out of their almost mortal defeat, regained their confidence, and was as caring to each of them as brothers.

At this moment, they are standing with Liu Wei!

"Let's go!" Looking around at the men standing in front of him, Liu Wei knew that it was meaningless to say anything more, so he waved his hand and gave the order to set off.

With a horse, Tang Ji didn't have to continue to walk on two legs, she rode the same horse with Liu Wei and slowly walked out of the house.

Zhou Cang and Dian Wei naturally assigned a horse as a foot force each, and in addition, the two of them also found weapons in Zhu Jun's house.

Dian Wei found a short halberd, while Zhou Cang found a long-poleed broadsword. The armor and shields on the rest of the men are also new, and the number of people in the team is small, but they look very energetic.

The team followed Liu Bian, left from the east of the town, and walked less than ten miles along the east road, Liu Bian's horse stopped, and asked Zhou Cang: "Yuanfu, do you know where the nearest ferry is?" ”

Zhou Cang reined in his horse, looked around, pointed to the east and said to Liu Wei: "If you go east for another day, you should be able to see the ferry!" If we hadn't gone to the town before, there would have been a ferry port to the north, but it was a long way to get there. ”

Riding on horseback and hugging Tang Ji in his arms, Liu Wei first looked to the north, then raised his hand and pointed to the east, and said to everyone: "All the way to the east, all the brothers listen, when walking, you can step on as many steps as you can, and leave as deep as your footprints can stay!" ”

Tang Ji, who was leaning on Liu Bian's arms, listened to his words, his face was confused, and when they continued to move forward, Tang Ji whispered to Liu Bian: "In common sense, if the pursuers follow up, they will definitely pursue to the east, why didn't the husband choose the north ferry, but the east?" ”

"It's a bit risky to choose the east side!" While riding forward, Liu Wei asked Tang Ji softly, "Do you understand why I want everyone to deliberately increase their walking steps?" ”

Turning his head to look at Liu Wei, Tang Ji shook his head blankly.

"This is called falsehood, falsehood, truthfulness, truthfulness!" With a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei said to Tang Ji: "You also thought that the pursuers would pursue all the way to the east, how could Niu Fu and Jia Xu not think of it?" If we had marched normally, they might have thought that I had been careless and had not noticed the subtleties, but if I had increased my pace and left clear footprints, hehe......"

Speaking of this, Liu Wei smiled and didn't say anything more.

Tang Ji's eyes widened, and she looked at Liu Wei with a look of surprise, she didn't expect that just choosing a way out would have so much attention.

Liu Wei and the others approached all the way to the east, and that night they chose a leeward place on the side of the road and camped temporarily, and they did not say anything for the night, and the next evening, as Zhou Cang said, they arrived at the ferry on the bank of the Yellow River.

Guarding the ferry was a group of about thirty or fifty officers and soldiers, Liu Wei and others wore the clothes and armor of officers and soldiers, and when they arrived at the ferry, a Han army officer stepped forward to stop them.

"Who are you waiting for? What are you doing here? The officer stopped Liu Wei and the others, furrowed his brows slightly, and looked at Liu Wei from head to toe with a puzzled face.

Liu Wei didn't get off the horse, but just rode on horseback, arched his hand at the officer and said: "We are soldiers under the command of Lu Wenhou, and I followed General Gao to pursue King Hongnong a few days ago, I don't want King Hongnong to cross the ferry and go to the other side of the Yellow River......"

"We waited here, and we didn't see King Hongnong cross the river!" Liu Wei's words stunned the officer, and he raised his hand to the north and said, "King Hongnong may have crossed the river from somewhere else......"

"Somewhere else, there are people chasing after each other!" Liu Wei narrowed his eyelids, and said to the officer in a cold voice: "Don't delay any more hours, send me to wait to cross the river quickly, if you are sluggish and run away from King Hongnong, you will lose your head!" ”

"Yes! Be! Knowing that the matter was very important, the officer hurriedly agreed, stood sideways to the side, and shouted to the officers and soldiers on the edge of the ferry: "Brothers, quickly put down the ferry!" ”

The officers and men on the edge of the ferry got the order and hurriedly pushed the ferry into the river, and several officers and men in charge of supporting the boat had already jumped onto the side of the boat, waiting for Liu Wei and others to board the boat.

Liu Wei glanced at Zhou Cang and Dian Wei, the two immediately understood, turned over and jumped off the horse, Zhou Cang held a big knife in one hand, and beckoned to the men who followed behind with the other hand and shouted: "Brothers, get on the boat, I have to cross the river as soon as possible, don't go to King Hongnong!" ”

Liu Wei led the men to board the ferry, and as soon as he got on the ferry, he glanced at a few men beside him.

The men turned their heads knowingly, staring at the officers and soldiers standing on the side of the boat, preparing to support them.

After giving the order to put down the ferry, the officer stood on the shore and looked at Liu Wei and the others who had already boarded the ferry, and suddenly had some doubts in his heart.

On the march and fighting, in addition to the large army, there will be some women in the barracks who will sew clothes for the soldiers in the barracks and vent their needs. It was simply impossible to carry women on a small march, and this group of people carried not only women, but also almost ten wounded soldiers. To pursue King Hongnong, what is needed is to be fast, how can they catch up with wounded soldiers?

Thinking of this, the officer's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly shouted to the ferry boat on the bank of the river: "Hold the boat slowly!" ”

"It's late!" As soon as his words fell, a rough voice came from behind him, and a large knife slashed at him with a strong wind.
