The sky was light, and thousands of officers and soldiers sorted out their armor and blades, and lined up in a phalanx in the open space in Taojiazhuang Village.

Standing at the head of the queue were nearly 2,000 soldiers wearing different styles and colors of officers and soldiers' armor.

Behind the nearly 2,000 soldiers were less than 5,000 newly incorporated Yellow Turban troops. The Yellow Turbans' clothes were more disheveled than those of the officers and soldiers, and most of them wore the people's deep clothes and leather armor, but only a small part of them.

If it weren't for the fact that they were once the Yellow Turbans, outsiders would have thought that these people were just improvised civilians when they saw them.

"Soldiers!" Standing in front of thousands of officers and soldiers, Liu Wei held the hilt of the long sword at his waist, his eyes swept around the faces of the officers and soldiers in the front row, and shouted to them: "According to reliable information, Niu Fu is twenty miles in front of our army!" You should know that Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law......"

At this point, Liu Wei had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, glanced around the officers and soldiers, and asked them in a loud voice: "Do you know what our army is going to do today?" ”

"Your Highness, do you want me to wait until I capture Niu Fu, cut off his eggs, and then put him back so that Dong Zhuo's daughter can watch it anxious?" Liu Wei's question had just been asked, and before the officers and soldiers could answer in unison, a soldier shouted loudly in the Yellow Turban Army array.

Not far from the soldier, an officer turned his head and glared at him fiercely.

When Liu Wei asked the officers and soldiers questions, he wanted to get a uniform and powerful answer, but the soldiers' shouts made many officers and soldiers laugh at once.

The soldier who was glared at by the officer, and the soldier who shouted knew that he had caused trouble, and quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say more.

After looking at the place where the shouting came from for a while, Liu Wei gave a thumbs up in that direction with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly: "Brother, you are old and talented!" That's right, what I want is for you to capture Niu Fu, cut off his eggs, and let Dong Zhuo's daughter worry! ”

Many officers and soldiers thought that the soldier who shouted might suffer a disaster, and even if he was not beaten by the military stick, he would inevitably be reprimanded, but they didn't expect Liu Wei to echo such a sentence.

"But I don't just want you to cut Ushisuke's eggs! I also want you to follow me into Luoyang, find out Dong Zhuo's old thief, and squeeze his eggs! Before the officers and soldiers woke up from their astonishment, Liu Wei waved his hand and shouted to them: "Enter Luoyang!" Capture Dong Zhuo alive! ”

"Break into Luoyang and capture Dong Zhuo alive!" Thousands of officers and men raised their weapons alaloft and shouted in unison.

The shouts of the officers and soldiers were undisguised, and the sound rushed out of the village and drifted far away.

Standing behind Liu Wei, Xu Shu listened to the shouts of the officers and soldiers, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded slowly as if something happened to be calculated by him.

In the village, Liu Wei was preparing his troops and horses to set off, and only two or three miles away from the village, two men in dark clothes quietly listened to the shouts wafting in the distance.

"That's a lot of people!" After the ethereal shouts fell, one of the men said to his companion beside him, "I'm afraid there are thousands!" Go back and report to the general! ”

"Hmm!" His companion didn't say much, but answered, followed him, and turned around and ran all the way west.

At the same time, in the mountains and forests more than ten miles away from the village, more than 300 sturdy young men, armed with firewood knives, squatted on the edge of the mountain forest, staring at the small river flowing down the mountain.

Further west, more than 2,000 Dong Zhuojun lined up in a neat line, facing the lower reaches of the river, quietly waiting for orders.

Dressed in black scaly armor, Niu Fu was riding on a black-covered war horse with a large sword in his hand, and looked at the direction of the lower reaches of the river with a frown.

The night before, several scouts under Liu Wei's command passed under his nose, and when the scouts returned, they were intercepted by Niu Fu's troops and horses, although they did not stop those scouts who rode wild and escaped quickly, but Niu Fu knew very well that if it were not for a relatively strong army, he would never send so many probes.

The two spies sent out to spy on the situation that night did not return to the barracks, and in the middle of the night, he sent two more. At this time, what he was waiting for was that the two groups of spies came back and reported to him the situation ahead.

"General, the horse has not returned for a long time, I think it was captured by thieves!" Niu Fu was still looking to the east, and behind him, a military general with a long axe leaned over and whispered to him: "The army is stationed here, and if it doesn't move, I am afraid that it will be detected by thieves!" ”

"Hu Chi'er!" Listening to the general's words, Niu Fu nodded first, and then said to the general: "You lead five hundred soldiers and horses, take the lead in the front, and I will lead the Chinese army to follow behind. ”

Listening to Niu Fu's words, the general with the long axe was stunned for a moment, looked at Niu Fu's resolute face, responded with some hesitation, and shouted to the officers and soldiers of Dong Zhuo behind him: "Soldiers, follow me to take the lead!" ”

Five hundred Dong Zhuo officers and soldiers followed Hu Chi'er and ran straight to the lower reaches of the river.

Looking at the backs of Hu Chi'er and the others who were gradually moving away, Niu Fu beckoned behind him and shouted to the remaining officers and soldiers: "Go!" "With 1,500 officers and soldiers, he fell far behind Hu Chi'er's team and went downstream along the river.

At this time, two scout horses who had come to investigate the situation on the orders of Niu Fu were hurriedly running along the river bank towards the river.

After running a short distance, one of the scouts stopped, beckoned to his companion who was running past him, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't run, there seems to be movement!" ”

Hearing the shout, the other scout also stopped, and bent his ears, listening carefully to the movement around him.

The river flowed not far from them, and apart from the sound of the river, they could only hear the rustle of the trees on the hills opposite the river bank in the wind.

On a dirt slope not far from the river bank, Zhao Yun half-squatted on the top of the slope, looked at the two Dong Zhuojun spies on the river bank, stretched out a hand and said to the soldiers behind him: "Bow, arrow!" ”

A soldier hurriedly took off the short bow on his back, and handed the quiver to Zhao Yun with it.

Taking out an arrow from the quiver, Zhao Yun put the arrow on the bowstring and aimed it at a man on the bank of the river.

From the dirt slope to the bank of the river, there are more than fifty steps. Such a long distance, coupled with the fact that the bow and arrow will be affected by the wind speed on the way to fly, generally before reaching the target, the deviation will be relatively large.

But Zhao Yun didn't seem to notice that the wind in the mountains was very tight, he pulled the bowstring full, and the tip of the arrow pointed directly at the two men on the bank of the river, and suddenly let go, and an arrow flew towards the river bank with the sound of breaking wind.

The first arrow flew out, and Zhao Yun immediately put the second arrow on the string, pulled the bowstring again, and shot the arrow out of the bowstring.

The two arrows flew to the shore one after the other, and the two Dong Zhuojun spies who were listening to the nearby sound suddenly heard the sound of sharp weapons breaking through the air, glanced at each other, and were just about to avoid it sideways, when one of the spies howled miserably and fell to the ground.

An arrow pierced through the spy's ear, piercing the skull, and through the other ear.

The companion fell to the ground, and the second spy was stunned for a moment, and his dodge slowed down.

It was this delay that left him with irreparable regrets. The second arrow shot by Zhao Yun passed through his neck on the right side of his neck with a "poof", piercing the neck bone, and the tip of the arrow carried a small piece of flesh and blood, piercing through the right side of his neck.

The two spies fell to the ground one after another, and Zhao Yun, who was squatting on the dirt slope, waved behind him and said to the soldiers behind: "Throw the corpse into the river!" Remember to clean up the blood stains! ”

"No!" Several officers and soldiers responded in unison and ran quickly towards the river bank.

Leading thousands of soldiers and horses, along the river bank, about to advance to the place where Zhao Yun and the others were hiding, Liu Wei saw from a distance that a few soldiers Zhao Yun had taken away earlier were carrying something into the river, and then those soldiers ran towards the place where Zhao Yun and the others were ambushed.

With doubts in his heart, Liu Wei stopped the advance of the team, raised his feet and walked to the river, tilting his head to look upstream,

At first, Liu Wei thought it was just two pieces of wood, but when the drift was closer, he saw that what had floated down the river were actually two corpses dressed in new clothes.

Seeing the two corpses floating in front of him, drifting down the river towards the lower reaches of the river, with a long pale red blood trail behind him, Liu Wei said to Dian Wei, who went to the river with him to check: "Tell the military advisor that Fang Cai Zilong and they have solved two more spies sent by Niu Fu!" ”

Dian Wei answered, turned around and walked towards Xu Shu, who was standing at the front of the main formation on horseback.

Standing in front of the main formation, Xu Shu was looking at the upper reaches of the river, Dian Wei ran to him, and according to Liu Wei's instructions, he reported to him the news that Zhao Yun and others had discovered and solved Dong Zhuojun's horse exploration.

Hearing that Dong Zhuojun's probe horse had been discovered again, Xu Shu took a deep breath and muttered: "It's weird, there shouldn't be any more thieves to scout the horse!" ”

Standing next to Xu Shu's war horse, Dian Wei looked up at him and asked with a blank face, "What did the military advisor say?" ”

"General Dian, and watch the upstream here, I'll go to His Highness to say something!" Xu Shu did not answer Dian Wei's question, but turned over and jumped off the horse and walked towards the river bank.

Dian Wei, who was confused, watched Xu Shu walk to the shore and back, scratched his head, pouted, and turned around to look at the upper reaches of the river bank according to Xu Shu's instructions.
