Although the terrain in the mountains is complex and difficult to reconnoitre, hundreds of people are not a few people, as long as they want to find them, they can always find traces. Originally, Zhou Yin followed the convention of a thirty-mile reconnaissance range, and did not notice Wei Ba and the others who stayed thirty miles away, but now that Wei Ba has revealed his whereabouts, and he doesn't believe that Wei Ba really only has a hundred and ten people, of course he will increase the scope of exploration.

The Wu army scouts searched the valley inch by inch, and soon found the traces of Wei Ba and others, and quickly reported back to Zhou Yin. In the process of reconnaissance, they inevitably encountered the scouts sent by Wei Ba, and sporadic battles broke out one after another, each with damage. Comparatively speaking, the scouts of the Wu army suffered a greater loss, Zhou Yin sent out more than a hundred people, and less than one-third of Zuihou returned to the camp safely.

A piece of bloody intelligence gathered into a situation map of the enemy and us, and spread it out on the case in front of Zhou Yin and Zhou Jun.

Zhou Yin looked at the sketch and sneered: "This shaft is really treacherous, I want to learn from the Marquis of Huaiyin, cultivate the plank road in the open, and secretly cross Chen Cang." ”

Zhou Jun clenched his fist in front of his mouth, staring at the situation map, silent. The envoy sent by Wei Ba told Zhou Yin that he only had more than a hundred people, and of course they wouldn't really believe it. Wei Ba came from the Youxi tribe, and it is very likely that he will get help from Youxi Man. Judging from the information found so far, Wei Ba does have Youximan by his side. Wei Ba protected them very closely, and most of the casualties of the Wu scouts occurred during the exploration of these Youxi barbarians.

"What do you think Wei Ba will do?" Zhou Jun raised his head and looked at Zhou Yin, who was sneering.

"If my guess is correct, he should be fighting head-on with more than a hundred soldiers. Then they hid the barbarians in the shadows, and when they lured me into the mountains, the barbarians swarmed out and caught me off guard. Zhou Yin said unhurriedly: "After defeating me, he will depend on the situation, whether to cross the water on the spot or choose a place to escape." ”

"And how are you going to deal with it?"

"It's just a matter of planning. He wants to seduce me, and I want to seduce him. Zhou Yin pursed his lips and dismissed. Big brother, I'm facing the enemy head-on. You lead a part of your men back behind him. When he surrounds me and the ambush is exhausted, you will kill it again......"

Zhou Yin said, stretching out his hand. Scratched a handful on the map. Then he clenched his fists hard: "Kill them all." ”

Zhou Jun said worriedly: "I'm afraid our troops are insufficient." To surround them. In one go, at least three times as many troops must be dispatched. Don't forget, we still have four or five thousand captives to guard. You can't attack them all. ”

"The captives are unarmed, and they can still turn the sky upside down?" Zhou Jun sneered: "Separate them, the old and weak are surrounded in Jinwan, use warships to block at the exit, if anyone tries to escape, shoot them directly with a hard crossbow, and save us the trouble of bringing them back." The men were kept on guard in the warships, and told them that if anyone escaped, they would kill his whole family, and I would see if they had the guts. I reckon that three hundred or four people would be safe. I will lead 500 people to fight against Wei Ba, and the remaining 1,000 people will all be handed over to you, and you will command and outflank them, which is enough. ”

Zhou Jun thought about it for a long time, and felt that Zhou Yin's plan was good, judging from the comparison of the strength of the two sides, they had a great chance of winning, even if there was an accident, they could get out of the way.

"Then it's decided." Zhou Jun nodded heavily.

After the two unified their views, Zhou Yin immediately sent a war letter to Wei Ba, agreeing to a decisive battle on the north bank of Chenshui two days later. That night, Zhou Jun led more than 1,000 soldiers to go ashore thirty miles downstream, made a big circle, and quietly detoured to the rear of the preset Weiba position. The next night, Zhou Yin received the news that Zhou Jun had entered the position, and he was in good spirits and prepared for the upcoming battle.

……

The early morning sun shone through the dense shade of the trees and shone on Wei Ba's face. Wei Ba stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, breathing in the damp fresh air with a faint smell of pine resin, and his spirit was lifted.

The birds chirped and chirped in the depths of the canopy, bouncing up and down the branches, unaware of the tents beneath them, inhabited by countless fierce warriors. When these warriors woke up from their sleep one by one, packed their bags, and stood in a neat queue, the silent aura of slaughter spread, and the originally carefree birds suddenly felt the aura of danger and spread their wings one after another.

The woods became more silent, with little sound except for the occasional clashing of weapons or armor.

Zhao Tong came over fully armed and energetic, bowed down and saluted Wei Ba: "Waiting, the soldiers have finished their preparations, and they can go." ”

Wei Ba glanced at the soldiers who were still like pines, and nodded: "Let's go." ”

"Whoa." Zhao Tong responded loudly, turned around and walked quickly to the front of more than a hundred foot soldiers composed of twenty-seven spearmen of the Zhao family and one hundred and three Guan family sword and shield men, and waved his hand vigorously: "Go!" ”

The foot soldiers turned around and followed Zhao Tong forward.

Wei Ba quietly watched as they walked along the mountain path. Xiangfu walked over, bowed down, and presented a brocade robe with both hands: "Waiter, we are also ready." This is a brocade robe snatched from the princess. ”

Wei Ba looked at him, raised his hand to take the brocade clothes, handed it to Wei Xing with his backhand, and gently patted Xiangfu's shoulder: "Jingfu, whether this battle can succeed depends on your means." If we can attract Wu Gou's attention, we will have a chance to rescue the Chenxi tribe, if not, alas......"

Wei Ba stopped talking and sighed.

Xiangfu hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I will do my best." He paused, then smiled again: "I believe that Shizhong is the invincible god general in your Han legend." ”

Wei Ba smiled slightly, and the hand on Xiangfu's shoulder gently pushed: "I also hope that I have that ability, in that case, we won't be afraid of these Wu dogs." ”

Xiangfu nodded, turned to leave, and disappeared into the mountains and forests with more than a hundred barbarians who were already ready to stop.

Wei Ba immediately asked people to call Sun Luban over. Sun Luban's injuries are almost healed, but he is still embarrassed. Her white face was now covered in dust, and she had two large red bumps on her head. This is the work of mosquitoes. It was nearly late autumn, but the mosquitoes in the mountains and forests were still rampant, even if there was a tent, even if the pine branch was used before going to bed, the poisonous and big mosquitoes were still pervasive, Sun Luban's face was bitten with two pimples, more on his body, it hurt and itched, he couldn't sleep all night, and his mental state was very bad.

"I'm going to fight your brother-in-law Zhou Yin soon. He's hell-bent on getting you back. As for me, I also want to get rid of your burden as soon as possible. Wei Ba was still so bitter when she opened her mouth, but fortunately, Sun Luban was used to it, she just looked at Wei Ba indifferently. Not a word. "Still. Will you be able to go back without a hitch? It depends on whether you, the little uncle, have this ability. Of course, if you think you can escape in this forest, you can also try it. ”

Sun Luban instinctively glanced at the dense jungle. His cheeks twitched involuntarily. Following Wei Ba and them on the march, with Zhao Tong helping in secret, she still walked so hard, let her walk alone in the mountains, it is strange if she does not die.

"If you don't have this ability, follow me honestly, put down your princess's stinky shelf, be obedient, maybe you can suffer less." Wei Ba paused, looked at a small hillside in the distance, and said lightly: "Today, I want you to serve the wine." ”

Sun Luban was stunned for a moment, her eyebrows immediately rose, she glared at Wei Ba, took a few breaths, and miraculously calmed down, and rarely agreed: "Okay!" ”

Wei Ba was a little surprised, he turned his head, looked at Sun Luban twice, and grinned: "Yes, the respected princess has finally learned to be obedient." ”

Sun Luban snorted.

"Come, bring the flask and glass, and let the princess hold it." Wei Ba took the wine jug and glass from Wei Xing's hand and stuffed it into Sun Luban's arms. "You should be careful, it's okay to fall to the bottom of the mountain, don't drop my jug and glass, and don't spill the wine. I promise you, as much wine you spill, you will shed as much blood. ”

Sun Luban was disdainful, hugged the wine jug and turned around and left. Probably because of the results of these days' exercise, she was able to walk calmly on the rugged mountain roads with wine jugs and glasses, although it could not be compared with those soldiers who were used to walking mountain roads, but she was much better than when she first started to flee.

"You see, the potential of people is endless." Wei Ba, who played majesticly for a long time, but did not receive any practical effect, said self-deprecatingly.

When the sun rose in the middle of the sky, Wei Ba came to the edge of Chenshui and set up a position on the north bank of Chenshui. Zhao Tong led one hundred and thirty foot soldiers to stand on the shore, and on a small hill facing south not far from the shore, Wei Ba sat on a large bluestone with a golden sword, and Dun Wu and other twenty soldiers were waiting on the side.

Sun Luban's face was pale, holding the wine jug, and he looked blankly at the Wu army warship on the south bank, with tears in his eyes. The warship of the Wu army, which she was used to seeing before, was so kind in her eyes at the moment, and even the Zhouzi battle flag now looked so majestic and full of hope.

"Pour the wine!" Wei Ba stretched out his hand and raised the wine glass in his hand.

Sun Luban was a little distracted, and it wasn't until Wei Ba called impatiently for the third time that she woke up and hurriedly filled up the wine. She was a little excited, and a lot of wine was splashed on Wei Ba's hands, and Wei Ba glared at her unhappily: "If you want to go back alive, just concentrate a little." If you can't even pour a drink, what else can you do? ”

Sun Luban raised his head and held back the tears in his eyes to prevent them from slipping down. Without Zhao Tong's protection, she is now very helpless, but she refuses to expose her weakness in front of Wei Ba.

Three hundred paces away, the soldiers of the Wu army were terribly silent.

Sun Luban was wearing that rich and luxurious brocade robe, which was very eye-catching among the soldiers in armor, and even after such a long time, the soldiers of the Wu army could see her. As soon as they thought that their princess had now become a sommelier and wanted to pour wine for Wei Ba, the soldiers of the Wu army were filled with righteous indignation, and they wanted to rush ashore immediately and break Wei Ba's body into ten thousand pieces.

Zhou Yin sat on the warship and saw the scene on the hillside. Although he was not as angry as an ordinary soldier, he could not contain his anger a little. No matter how good or bad his impression of Sun Luban is, after all, Sun Luban used to be his sister-in-law, how could he let Wei Ba be so humiliated? How could the Zhou family let Wei Ba be so humiliated?

"Ashore! Crossbowmen prepare! (To be continued......)
