"Don't compliment me. By the way, how is Cao Pi over there? Wang Baoyu asked.

"I don't socialize much." Jia Xu's face froze, and he hurriedly brushed it off.

"Don't worry, you and I have no grievances, and I won't sue you for your black state. I just want to tell you a little bit, and when we go back victoriously, you can tell sù Cao Pi, don't have nothing to do with me, it's boring. Wang Baoyu said.

"Jia Xu should serve himself." Jia Xu nodded repeatedly.

Wang Baoyu wanted to say one more thing, so that Cao Pi would be better to Zhen Mi, but he didn't say it in the end. They are two people, and it is not the turn of outsiders to speak, which will make Cao Pi's suspicion of Zhen Mi even heavier. As for how Zhen Mi is doing now, it is naturally difficult to inquire.

In accordance with Wang Baoyu's instructions, the army quickly began to search for the woodcutter. Over the past few days, there has been considerable progress, and fifteen people have been arrested.

Cao Cao's illness is basically better, and his appearance is the same as before, but he has lost a little weight. On this day, Cao Cao came to Wang Baoyu's tent with his hands behind his back and asked about the progress of the march.

As soon as he entered, Cao Cao was stunned, and then burst out laughing, praising Wang Baoyu for being too talented.

Wang Baoyu led Yang Xiu and others to entertain those woodcutters with good food and drink, so that they could cooperate with the work with peace of mind, not only would they not have to worry about their lives, but they would also have a lot of rewards, which was equivalent to what they earned by chopping firewood for a lifetime.

There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and the woodcutters are in a group of three, and there are five groups of drawings respectively. Through constant inquiry and improvement, and proofreading several sets of provided drawings, a more accurate map of the neighborhood was formed in one day.

In order to be more intuitive, Wang Baoyu made a different map according to the map, which is a three-dimensional sand sculpture, as if looking down from the sky, the mountains and rivers are clear at a glance.

Cao Cao stroked his short beard, looked at the sand table in a circle with great interest, and praised endlessly. Wang Baoyu pointed at it, and planted a few small colored flags from time to time, saying that this is our camp, and Zhang Wei and those people may be stationed in these valleys in front.

"Can you send troops immediately?" Cao Cao's confidence doubled, and he couldn't help asking.

"Not for the time being, we must find out the stationing of Zhang Wei's team."

"Tomorrow we'll go to the camp." Cao Cao was in good spirits and made up his mind.

Wang Baoyu did not object, although he had this three-dimensional map, it was in vain not to find out the deployment of the opponent's troops. The next day, when the sky was bright, he followed Cao Cao, led Xu Chu and Xu Huang and a thousand soldiers and horses, and touched them in the direction of Yangping Pass.

Yangping Pass is located in the middle of the mountains, and a small road leads directly to the pass. Of course, the crowd would not venture closer, so they stopped more than two miles from the mountain.

Cao Cao raised his eyes and frowned, the mountains in front of him were extremely treacherous, the trees were overgrown, and he couldn't see where the road was at all, and, for some reason, there was a faint white mist, shrouded in the mountains in front of him.

"Alas, if I had known that this place was so dangerous, I would not have marched from here." Cao Cao sighed.

"Lao Cao, since we are here, we can't retreat, there will always be a way." Wang Baoyu said.

"If Zhang Wei and others are hiding in the mountains and forests, they can't prevent it."

"It makes sense, let's go back first, send someone to find out their garrison situation, and then discuss how to march." Wang Baoyu said in the first place.

It's okay, Cao Cao nodded in agreement. At this time, Xu Huang surrendered his hand and asked: "The last general is willing to lead the army to explore the future." ”

"No way!" Wang Baoyu immediately vetoed, "Even if we find out about the situation, we will startle the snake, and when they change places, we will still work in vain." ”

Xu Huang thought that Wang Baoyu looked down on him, and was a little unhappy, so he stubbornly looked at Cao Cao, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Cao Cao took into account Xu Huang's feelings, looked around again, and thought to himself, Zhang Wei is hiding in the dark, no matter who he sends to investigate, it is easy to startle the snake, it is better to let Xu Huang probe the truth and talk about it, so he nodded and said: "The general can go to investigate, and if something happens, return immediately." ”

"Lao Cao!"

"The last general commands." Xu Huang didn't wait for Wang Baoyu to speak again, and continued to move forward with a big axe and five hundred soldiers.

Xu Huang and his party went in for half an hour, but they didn't see a bird flying out, something was wrong, it was too quiet. Wang Baoyu was not sure, and persuaded again: "Lao Cao, we have few soldiers, and it is dangerous here, so let's go back first!" ”

"Let's wait for General Xu Huang to come out." Cao Cao thought that he was far enough away that even if he escaped, there was room for escape.

"When he came out, he couldn't see us, so of course he went straight back to the camp. Lao Cao, it's not once or twice that we have suffered this kind of loss, and we can't take any more risks. Wang Baoyu spoke bitterly.

"Baoyu and relax your heart, this time is different from the past, not to mention that there is General Xu Chu by his side, it doesn't hurt to wait!" Cao Cao may have been sick for too long and was depressed, so he was in no hurry to go back.

After waiting for less than half an hour, I heard a shout of killing, Xu Huang led less than a hundred people, lost their armor and ran back, and the smoke and dust were billowing behind him, as if Zhang Wei's army was killing.

Cao Cao's face changed, he didn't care about asking Xu Huang's situation, he hurriedly turned the horse and left, Wang Baoyu did not hesitate, urging the horse to follow Cao Cao and run desperately. Xu Chu greeted him instead, and he wanted to block it for a while to ensure that Cao Cao could return safely.

A group of horsemen quickly came into view, all dressed in armor made of thin iron, covered with spikes, which could not be penetrated by bows and arrows, but it was difficult to get close. Yang Ang held a fine iron broadsword, and while ordering the soldiers to release arrows, he rushed towards Xu Chu.

Xu Chu shouted, and the big knife in his hand immediately turned into a shield, sweeping off all the countless arrow feathers, and then the big knife cut out a bright sword light, and slashed straight towards Yang Ang.

Yang Ang raised his knife to meet him, the two knives collided, the sound was deafening, and sparks flew everywhere, but at this moment, Yang Ang knew how powerful Xu Chu was, his big knife almost came out of his hand, and the huge impact force made the horse's hooves sink into the ground, and he shook several times before he could barely pull it out.

Yang Ang was taken aback, and his face showed a little timidity.

"Nameless junior, I'll take your life today!" Xu Chu roared loudly, and the big knife was as fast as a meteor, slashing towards Yang Ang one after another.

Yang Ang barely resisted a few moves, knowing that he was not Xu Chu's opponent, so he turned his horse and left. Xu Chu chased after him, and when he saw that he was about to catch up, the big knife in his hand flashed coldly, and he raised it high again. Yang Ang's heart was broken, and Yang Ren in another place saw that Yang Ang was in danger, and rushed over.

Yang Ren's weapon is very special, it is a long iron whip, and countless sharp knives are tied to the whip, and when wielded, it is like a black dragon, winding and circling, flexible and changeable, and its lethality should not be underestimated.

The first time Xu Chu saw this strange weapon, the big knife hadn't reached Yang Ren yet, and the other party's whip had already swung over, hovering in the air, heading straight for his back.
