Dian Wei crossed the river one after the last, and as soon as Dian Wei pulled the rope and landed on the shore, Liu Wei drew his long sword, walked to the reef where the rope was tied, and cut the rope with a sword. Then he took the end of the rope and threw it into the flowing river.

Seeing that the rope was submerged in the river, Liu Wei waved to everyone and said, "Go!" ”

The bank of the river was very narrow, and an army of less than 2,000 men lined up in a slender line on the bank of the river, and under the leadership of Liu Wei, marched all the way to the west.

On their left is the Yellow River, which has just been crossed, and on their right, there are high and steep mountain cliffs.

When crossing the Yellow River, although the clothes and armor on everyone's bodies were held up by soldiers who knew how to swim, the waves of the Yellow River still wet their clothes, and many of them were soaked in their clothes and wore them on their bodies, which made people feel very uncomfortable.

The wind by the river was more violent than in the wilderness, and the wind blowing from the southeast, after entering the canyon, was blocked by the cliff wall, forming a strong wind from east to west, pushing everyone to march, but also making them invisibly speed up a lot.

Driven by the wind, Liu Wei led the team and ran for twenty or thirty miles in a row, only then did he see that the cliff in front of him was gradually lowering.

"You can leave the river bank ahead!" Seeing the cliff, Liu Wei raised his hand and pointed forward, turned back and shouted to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Soldiers speed up, as long as you leave the riverbank, the thief army will no longer be able to wait for me!" ”

The officers and soldiers cheered in unison, followed Liu Wei, trotted all the way, and ran towards the low place where the cliff had become.

On the cliff where they crossed the Yellow River, Gao Shun stood beside an old locust tree near the cliff, holding a charred black hemp rope that had been burned at the end of the half-cut tie to the old locust tree, and his brows were tightly twisted.

"What a Hongnong King!" Letting go of the half-cut rope in his hand, Gao Shun walked to the edge of the cliff, looked at the Yellow River flowing under the cliff, sighed softly, and said to himself: "No wonder you were captured that day!" This mountain cliff, if a certain leader came here, he would not dare to go down the cliff in this way......"

Gao Shun muttered to himself with a lonely expression, and after a long while, he sighed lightly and said to the officer standing behind him: "Waiting for the wait, King Hongnong has fled the mountains and crossed the Yellow River!" ”

More than an hour later, Lu Bu was in the camp......

Lu Bu knelt in the camp tent, and under the head on his left and right sides, dozens of Dong Zhuojun generals knelt in two columns.

In the middle of the tent, a soldier was standing there with his head bowed, his hands clasped into fists, trembling. This soldier was the soldier sent by Gao Shun to report to Lü Bu that Liu Wei had successfully crossed the Yellow River.

"Go down!" Lu Bu waved his hand at the soldier, his brows furrowed tightly, and he said to the soldier with a bit of coldness in his tone: "Tell Gao Shun that King Hongnong is treacherous and cunning, and escaping from his eyes has nothing to do with him, so don't worry too much about it!" ”

"No!" Lu Bu asked him to retreat, and the soldier's heart suddenly widened, and he hurriedly responded, walked backwards to the door of the tent, lifted the tent curtain, turned around and walked out.

"King Hongnong has escaped again!" When the soldiers withdrew from the tent, Lu Bu looked around at the generals sitting in the tent and said to them: "If this matter spreads to Luoyang, won't you be ridiculed by your father?" ”

Lu Bu's words fell, and Wei Xu, who had just returned to the army with the remnants of the army, hurriedly stood up, walked to the middle of the big tent, hugged his fists and bowed to Lu Bu and said: "This time, Wen Hou laid a net of heaven and earth, and King Hongnong was originally unable to escape, if it wasn't for Gao Shun's negligence and slackness, how could Wen Hou let Liu Wei escape?" ”

Kneeling at the top, Lu Bu had a cold face, his brows furrowed slightly, and he muttered for a moment before he said to Wei Xu: "Wei Xu, you immediately lead someone to find Gao Shun, take my hand, and take over him to lead the trapping camp!" Let Gao Shun return to the camp immediately, and appoint other important tasks! ”

When the generals sitting in the tent heard Lu Bu say this, they all looked at him with stunned faces, and Zhang Liao frowned even more and stood up.

Gao Shun is usually upright, and most of the generals in the barracks have a good relationship with him, especially Zhang Liao, who is even closer to Gao Shun.

The trapping camp is the elite trained by Gao Shun, and in the past, under the command of Ding Yuan, he has made countless military exploits. If Gao Shun had led a trap camp to pursue Liu Wei earlier, even if he couldn't catch Liu Wei, he would never have been captured alive by Liu Wei in turn.

Knowing that the camp is of great significance to Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, who has always been good friends with Gao Shun, naturally will not sit idly by.

But before Zhang Liao walked to the middle of the big tent, Lu Bu sat up, waved his hand at everyone and said, "I'm a little tired today, you wait and retreat!" ”

Zhang Liao just hugged his fists and was about to speak to Lu Bu, but when the words had already reached his mouth, he was blocked back by Lu Bu.

"Warm wait!" The generals had already gotten up and walked out of the tent, Zhang Liao hesitated for a moment, but decided to implore Lu Bumo to take back Gao Shun's military power, and hurriedly called Lu Bu.

Lu Butie blushed, waved his hand at Zhang Liao and said: "Gao Shun is careless, King Hongnong has been surrounded by a large army, and he is still fleeing from under his eyelids, if he is not a small punishment, how can he serve the public?" ”

"But ......" Standing aside, Zhang Liao looked at Lu Bu with a puzzled expression, clasped his fists and said: "King Hongnong successfully crossed the Yellow River from Guo Yan's eyes before, and then defeated Zhao Shu and rescued hundreds of Huainan troops. Even the impregnable Tiger Prison Pass was breached by him with a few thousand people......"

"Don't say it again!" Lu Bu raised his hand and stopped Zhang Liao from continuing his words, his brows tightened, he stood up and sighed and said, "How can I not know how powerful King Hongnong is!" But after all, he is only a fifteen-year-old boy, and we have used tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to let him escape, if the word spreads......"

Lu Bu didn't continue to say the rest of the words, but Zhang Liao already knew what he wanted to say.

Thinking about what Lu Bu said, it is not unreasonable. Lu Bu mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but also failed to catch King Hongnong, this matter spread to Luoyang, if there is no reasonable explanation, being ridiculed by those officials in the city is secondary, once Dong Zhuo is investigated, I am afraid it will not be so easy to deal with.

"There you go!" Seeing that Zhang Liao didn't speak again, Lu Bu waved his hand at him and sighed lightly.

When Zhang Liao withdrew from the tent, Lu Bu also walked out of the tent.

The sun had set, and the orange light spread over the land, and the mountains not far away were covered with a blood-colored veil.

"King Hongnong!" Looking at the undulating mountains under the slanting sun, Lu Bu frowned tightly and said hatefully: "Sooner or later, you will fall into the hands of someone!" ”

As the sky grew dark, Liu led the team along a gentle slope and left the riverbank, and as he ascended the wilderness above the riverbank, he turned his head and looked at the Yellow River behind him.

The bed of the Yellow River in this area is relatively spacious, the water flow is not so turbulent, and on the other side of the Yellow River, there is still a steep cliff.

The cliffs on the opposite bank are undulating, and you can't see the edge at a glance, and you don't know how far you have to go before it ends.

"There must be no one along the way, I'll speed up my march and try to find a place with a roof to rest tonight!" Glancing up at the orange sun in the western sky, Liu Wei waved to the people behind him, and the speed under his feet was a little faster than when he was walking on the riverbank.

The clothes on the bodies of many officers and men were not yet dry, and the cold wind was blowing on them, which was very uncomfortable. Not only Liu Wei, but everyone in the team hoped to find a place with a roof to rest.

The sun was sinking below the horizon, and the thin night dispelled the already dim sunlight, and another night was about to fall.

Although they ran a long way at a fast speed, Liu Wei and the others had not seen the shadow of the village, and tonight, they would sleep in the wild again.

"Order the soldiers to light a bonfire!" Standing in the wilderness, Liu Wei looked around for a while, and said to Zhou Cang behind him: "The clothes on the soldiers are mostly wet by the river, so they can dry their clothes by camping and using a bonfire, and it will be refreshing to march tomorrow." ”

"No!" Zhou Cang responded with a fist, turned back and shouted to the officers and soldiers: "Soldiers, Your Highness has an order to light a bonfire!" ”

Many officers and soldiers who had seen normal strength at night hurriedly responded, and each ran to find firewood and prepare to light a bonfire.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Wei was watching a group of officers and soldiers with normal vision looking for firewood, when a soldier who was in charge of taking care of the wounded soldiers ran up to him, clasped his hands into fists and said to him: "Many of the wounded soldiers are fever......

Hearing that the wounded soldiers were all feverish, Liu Wei frowned, waved his hand at the soldier and said, "Take me over to have a look." ”

The soldier answered, stood on the side, and waited for Liu Wei to raise his feet first and walk towards the place where the wounded soldiers were placed, and then he hurriedly followed behind the side and led the way for Liu Wei.

One or two hundred wounded soldiers were lowered down the cliff by soldiers with ropes tied to them, and when crossing the river, soldiers who knew how to cross the river were also dragged back and forth between the banks of the river.

After crossing the Yellow River, Liu Wei didn't have time to take too much care of them, led the army, and walked all the way, until he came here and decided to station, and then there were soldiers who helped the wounded soldiers untie their damp clothes and wanted to dry their clothes.

It was at this time that the soldiers in charge of taking care of the wounded soldiers discovered that more than half of the two hundred people had started a fever, and many of them were still babbling nonsense and saying things that others could not understand.

Squatting down in front of a wounded soldier who was babbling gibberish with his eyes closed, Liu Wei reached out and probed his forehead. The wounded soldier's forehead was hot, like a small stove.

"Find some sackcloth and soak it in water!" Removing the hand on the forehead of the wounded soldier, Liu Wei frowned slightly, and said to the soldier standing on the side: "Quickly help them dry their clothes, then get some hot water, wipe their bodies, and be sure to let them lie in a leeward place." ”
