Chapter 81: Spying on the Riverbank

The rising morning sun lazily illuminated the earth, bringing light to the earth, but it did not dispel the coolness that had gathered overnight.

The morning air is humid and fresh.

Liu Wei pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, crossed the other hand on his waist, frowned slightly, and looked at the few soldiers wearing Wang Kuangjun's clothes and armor kneeling in front of him.

"Don't you tell the truth?" A sharp gaze swept over the bodies of several soldiers, Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked coldly: "Whose command are you waiting for?" ”

Several soldiers bowed their heads and knelt on the ground tied up by the five flowers, but none of them answered Liu Wei's question.

"Damn, don't say it yet!" Their appearance annoyed Dian Wei on the side, Dian Wei scolded, took two steps forward, raised his foot and kicked the shoulder of a soldier.

Dian Wei kicked him in the shoulder, and the soldier tilted his body, spun, and fell to the ground, his cheek rubbing heavily against a long weed.

The green blades of grass were very tough, and the soldier's cheeks rubbed against the blades of grass, and suddenly several long cuts were made, and a trace of blood flowed out of the mouths.

He didn't get up, buried his face in the grass, gritted his teeth in hatred, and turned his head to glare at Dian Wei, who had kicked him.

Seeing the soldier's eyes, Dian Wei raised his foot and was about to step forward again, but Liu Wei hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and shook his head slowly at him.

Glancing at Liu Wei, Dian Wei took a step back, didn't step forward again, but looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground, his eyes were a little sharper.

"Get up!" The two men walked up to the soldier who was kicked to the ground by Dian Wei, reached out and grabbed him by the collar, grabbed him, and dragged him back to Liu Wei, one of the men kicked the soldier hard in the leg crook of the leg, and shouted angrily: "Kneel! ”

Although the soldier was stubborn, his leg was bent, but it was also painful, and he bent his knee and knelt on the ground honestly.

"Who is guarding the Tiger Prison now?" Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked the soldiers in an almost cold tone, "What is the form of the south bank of the Yellow River?" Where exactly is the Dong Dong Alliance stationed? Where is the army of Yuan Shao and Wang Kuang? ”

Several of the soldiers bowed their heads, but none of them answered his question.

"Kill!" Looking at the soldiers who were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered, Liu Wei frowned slightly, turned to the side, and while raising his feet and walking to the side, he gave an order to the men who were holding the soldiers.

The men standing behind a few soldiers got Liu Wei's order, and they drew their long swords one after another, slashed them on the necks of those soldiers, and slashed them fiercely.

The soldiers who knelt on the ground did not look up or make any struggle, and as a few silver sword lights slashed, their heads tumbled and fell from their necks and fell into the deep grass.

Blood gushed out of the cavity without a head, and the blood of **** did not stop spurting, and several corpses with lost heads were heavily planted in the grass.

With his hands behind his back, Liu Wei first heard the "click" sound of the blade slicing through the bones, and then he heard the "sizzle" sound of water like a fountain splashing.

With the sound of "sizzling" water, a faint smell of blood filled the air.

"Your Highness, do you want to cross the river?" Zhou Cang walked behind Liu Wei and asked him in a low voice.

"Yes!" Looking at the south, Liu Wei said in a categorical tone: "These people can be regarded as men, don't let them expose their corpses in the wilderness and bury them, I will cross the rope bridge today!" ”

"No!" Zhou Cang answered, turned around and shouted to the men standing not far from the corpse: "Hurry up and bury the corpse, and you will continue to hurry later!" ”

The camp was quite a distance from the banks of the Yellow River, and it was expected that the fire that had been lit in the village last night would attract another group of Dong Zhuojun, so Liu Wei decided to bypass there and rush to the banks of the Yellow River by another road.

At the same time, a team of Dong Zhuojun rushed in the direction of the village as Liu Wei guessed.

The village is far from the bank of the Yellow River, but at night, the sky-high fire is enough to attract the attention of Dong Zhuojun's sentry on the bank of the Yellow River.

The fire on the hillside, the smoke rolled up was enough to make the generals of Dong Zhuojun on the bank of the Yellow River suspicious, and at night, another piece of fire reflected half of the sky red, and the generals of Dong Zhuojun who guarded the river bank had to send someone to investigate to feel at ease.

Chasing the defeated army, if the defeated army is besieged, you only need to put one fire, and you can clean it up completely, and there is no need to put two fires in a row.

There is only one explanation for the continuous arson, that is, it was not Dong Zhuojun who went to chase after him at all, but Liu Wei and others who escaped.

Liu Wei led the team all the way to the bank of the Yellow River, from early morning until the sun set, when they heard the roar of the waves of the Yellow River in the distance.

"Camp here tonight!" Seeing that he was about to reach the bank of the Yellow River, Liu Wei said to Zhou Cang and Dian Wei: "At night, explore the road again to find out the vacancy of the defenders on the bank, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will break through the suspension bridge and rush to the other side of the river!" ”

"No!" Dian Wei and Zhou Cang responded, and went to arrange for the men to camp on the spot.

At the same time, in the small village where Liu Wei led people to set fire to it last night, a team of Dong Zhuojun was looking for living people in the village.

"Damn, not a single one is alive!" The officer who walked in the front raised his foot and kicked away a charred corpse on the ground, glanced at several equally charred corpses below, and muttered: "It's really ruthless, more than 500 people, and the whole root is burned!" ”

Another officer, who had just walked out of a nearby house, frowned, glanced at the road full of charred corpses in front of him, sighed and said: "More than 500 people, they have been burned clean, even if it is 500 pigs, they will not sit in the village and wait for people to burn them so honestly......"

"Two generals, please look!" While the two were talking, a soldier crouching at the door of the house shouted at them.

When they heard the shouting, they hurriedly ran towards the soldier.

On the wall of the doorway of the house, two charred corpses with no heads reclined.

Squatting next to the charred corpse, the two officers looked around, one of them reached out and stabbed the other twice in the arm, pointed to a charred spherical object not far away, and said, "Is that a human head?" ”

"It's all burned to charcoals, how can you see it!" The other officer got up and walked over to the spherical object, raised his foot and kicked lightly, kicking off a cloud of black ash, raised his head and looked at the entrance of the village, and said to a few soldiers on the side: "Go to the entrance of the village and see if there are any other corpses!" ”

Several soldiers responded, and hurriedly divided into two teams and ran towards the entrances of the villages on both sides.

After a while, the two teams of soldiers brought back the news, and they found several charred corpses with their throats cut open before death at the entrance of the village on both sides.

Upon receiving the news, the two officers glanced at each other, and one of them said faintly: "Get rid of the sentry first, and then set fire, and by the time the sleeping man wakes up, it will be too late to leave the village." Terrible! It's horrible! I don't know who led this band of thieves......

The other officer didn't speak, and his eyes wandered around the charred ground before he let out a long sigh.

At this time, on the bank of the Yellow River, Liu Wei had ordered everyone to set up camp.

They didn't carry tents, they camped in relatively secluded locations, and there weren't many of them, so it was impossible to find them without a careful search.

The sky was getting darker, and the night was gradually covering the land.

Liu Wei sat in a deep grass, the men had all lay down and slept, and in his ears, except for the snoring of a few men, there was only the sound of the wind blowing the blades of grass and the surging sound of the Yellow River in the distance.

"Dian Wei!" The night was getting darker and deeper, and Liu Wei turned his head to the side and whispered.

Dian Wei, who was lying in the grass snoring, vaguely heard Liu Wei calling him, turned over and got up, jumped to Liu Wei's side, and asked in a low voice, "What is Your Highness calling for something?" ”

"Come with me to the river!" Looking at the direction of the Yellow River, Liu Wei whispered a word of instruction to Dian Wei, got up and walked towards the bank of the Yellow River.

The closer he got to the Yellow River, the louder the waves became, and the distance was dark in the night, and Liu Wei couldn't see the scenery on the banks of the Yellow River at all.

He crouched in a deep grass, his eyes constantly looking in all directions, but his ears didn't bother to listen to the sounds nearby.

The waves of the Yellow River were so loud that even if someone approached them, the footsteps would be drowned out by the roar of the waves.

Everywhere were blades of grass swaying in the wind, and the moonlight spread on the blades of grass, gilding the long black grass in the night with a thin layer of silver.

After squatting in the grass for a while, and finding nothing unusual, Liu Wei raised his hand and made a move behind him, bent over with Dian Wei, and continued to touch forward.

After taking another twenty or thirty steps forward, the water vapor in the air became thicker and thicker, and Liu Wenzhi said that they were not far from the bank of the Yellow River.

After touching forward for more than ten steps, the two of them reached the edge of the field overgrown with weeds. Liu Wei stretched out his hand to remove the weeds in front of him and looked towards the dark riverbank.

The raging Yellow River glows with silver shine in the moonlight, and the craggy stones on the bank also reflect the gray silver light.

Looking around at the rocky riverbank, Liu Wei's gaze stayed behind a rocky rock reflecting a silver glimmer.

Although the rocks on the bank of the river are washed by the river, the surface is smooth and can refract light, but the light refracted by the stones is not the same as the light reflected by metal.

After careful observation for a while, Liu Wei found that among the rocks on the bank of the river, there were several places where the silver shimmer was reflected.

It was very humid on the bank of the river, and it was impossible for Dong Zhuojun to camp by the river, and the place where the glimmer of light reflected must be their sentry.

Waving his hand at Dian Wei behind him, Liu Wei slowly stepped back.

Dian Wei, who hardly noticed anything unusual, saw Liu Wei retreat backwards, and slowly retreated into the deep grass behind him.
