The bandits were defeated and did not retreat, so Qin Shou and they still couldn't mess up, couldn't fight among themselves, and gave the bandits any chance to take advantage of.

Wang Lun's identity is sensitive, and if there is a slight mistake, it will cause civil strife, and the best way is to poison and quietly solve the other party.

Although the method is somewhat shady, it is the only feasible method at present.

Cao Pu hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and agreed, and quietly poisoned him.

After sending Cao Pu away, Qin Shou lay on the bed, his eyes closed, and began to think about the whole thing......

"Damn!"

Xiahou Ming jumped like thunder, slammed the medicine bowl in his hand to the ground, and shattered it on the spot, his anger was monstrous, "Damn!"

The second master persuaded: "The anger of the big boss, your wound has just been stitched up, if it is cracking, it will be troublesome." ”

"Calm the anger?" Xiahou Ming snorted coldly: "In this battle, we lost two-thirds of our men and horses, and the third, fourth, and fifth children also died, and our vitality was greatly damaged, how do you let me calm my anger?" ”

The second boss hurriedly said: "No, the big boss." ”

Xiahou Ming: "Why not?"

The second master: "We are newly defeated, our vitality is greatly damaged, and our morale is low, on the contrary, the enemy has won a big victory, and the morale is high, and they are defending according to the danger, and they are condescending, if we forcibly attack the mountain, it will be extremely difficult." Even if we take it in the end, we will definitely suffer heavy losses, and I am afraid that only twenty or thirty of a hundred men will remain. ”

Xiahou Ming: "Even if there are only twenty or thirty people left, I will take them down the mountain and cut them with a thousand knives to vent my heart." ”

The second master: "Don't do it, if there are only twenty or thirty people left, we will pass this level, what will we do in the future?"

Xiahou Ming's heart sank.

In the Nine Realms, there are more than just their gangsters.

Between bandits, in order to strengthen their own power, you compete with each other, and the strong merge the weak, which is also a common occurrence.

If there are really only twenty or thirty people left in their group, and their strength is greatly damaged, I believe that it will not be long before they will be targeted by other bandits, forcibly annexed, and become someone else's subordinate.

This is something that Xia Houming absolutely cannot accept!

The words of the second master made Xia Houming calm down, and said in a deep voice: "Second brother, you are right, then what should we do next?"

The second master: "In the opinion of our subordinates, it is better for us to retreat and abandon this ship." ”

Xiahou Ming's face sank, "Retreat?"

Second Master: "That's right. In this battle, we despised our opponents, lost the opportunity, and suffered heavy losses, with the addition of Ye Shou and Cao Pu, full of tricks, we are afraid that it will be difficult to hijack this ship. Rather than holding on here, it is better to leave early and retain your strength. ”

Xiahou Ming looked at the second master coldly, and snorted coldly: "Guo Jia, I think you want to take advantage of my serious injury, pull me off the horse, and sit on the position of the big boss yourself!?"

Guo Jia is the name of the second master.

Guo Jia was shocked: "Big boss, why do you say this?"

Xia Houming: "From the very beginning when I received the news that the ship was going to be hijacked, you said that this matter was a bit strange and didn't let me come. During the battle, you stopped me several times, causing me to miss a good opportunity to destroy the enemy. Now that I've been hit hard, and you're asking me to withdraw my troops, I think you're trying to suppress my prestige and then attack me and replace me, aren't you?"

Guo Jia immediately knelt on the ground, "The big boss, Guo Jia has no such intention." ”

Xiahou Ming snorted: "You have heard me clearly, if you don't rob this ship and kill Ye Shou and Cao Pu, I will never retreat." If you dare to persuade me to retreat and disturb the morale of the army, I will kill you and sacrifice the flag. ”

Guo Jia: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”

Xiahou Ming: "Okay, you retreat, I have my own plan to capture this mountain." ”

"Yes. Guo Jiawei resignedly retreated.

......

Qin Shou and Cao Pu stood on the top of the mountain, standing side by side, looking at the bandit army surrounded by the mountain below.

Qin Shou praised: "Among this group of bandits, there is also a smart person. ”

Cao Pu: "How does Brother Ye know that there are smart people among the bandits?"

Qin Shou pointed to the bandit army under the mountain and said, "Look, there are four roads down the mountain, but those bandits only blocked three of them and let go of the last road, do you know why?"

Cao Mu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Why is this?"

Qin Shou: "This is to disrupt our military morale. ”

Cao was puzzled and said: "If you leave a way to live, you can disrupt our military morale? ”

Qin Shou: "Think about it, if the bandits block all four roads, we see that there is no hope of escaping, in order to survive, are we fighting to the death?"

Cao Pu suddenly realized, "What Brother Ye said is right. Now that they have let go of a way down the mountain, it is equivalent to leaving us a way to live, and with this way of life, the others will not fight to the death, and once their lives are in danger, they will flee from this road. ”

Qin Shou sighed: "That's exactly the case, so I said that there are smart people among the bandits, and they actually know how to surround the teacher." This road seems to be a way of life, but in fact it is a dead end, a dead end, a dead end, that disrupts the hearts of our army!"

"The siege of the teacher must be que. ”

Cao Mu muttered in a low voice, and said with a smile: "A good teacher, Brother Ye's wisdom impresses Cao." The smart man among the bandits, compared to Brother Ye, is just a fool. ”

Qin Shou shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, if I command the bandit army from the beginning, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to win." ”

Cao Pu hesitated and said, "Brother Ye is saying that the person who commanded the bandit army at the beginning was not that smart person?"

Qin Shou: "Of course not, if I expected it to be true, this smart man should be Guo Jia, the second leader of the bandit army." ”

After last night's battle, Qin Shou caught a bandit, and under torture, he had already figured out the situation of the bandits.

Cao Pu thought for a while and said: "That's right, it was the big boss Xiahou Ming who commanded the bandit army at the beginning, and after I seriously injured Xiahou Ming last night, the second boss Guo Jiacai took over the bandit army, and then laid out this 'siege of the army' plan." ”

Qin Shou: "Moreover, when we were in a sneak attack last night, that Guo Jia suggested that Xiahou Ming gather all the bandit troops in one place. If the bandit army really did this at that time, all my plans would be in vain, but unfortunately, in order to avenge his brother's revenge, Xiahou Ming didn't listen to Guo Jia's words, which gave us an opportunity. ”

Cao Pu: "According to what Brother Ye said, this Guo Jia is indeed a smart person, and he is quite strategic in his heart. ”

Qin Shou: "Guo Jia...... This man's talent is not below me. If Guo Jia was the one who led the bandit army from the beginning, I am afraid that the defeated side would be us. ”

Cao Pu: "Brother Ye doesn't have to be modest, in the face of a tenfold gap in strength, you can win more with less, which shows that your wisdom is far above Guo Jia, if it is a fair battle with equal strength, Guo Jia will not be your opponent." ”

Qin Shou smiled and was about to speak, when he suddenly saw someone from the bottom of the mountain rushing up and shouting loudly: "Where is Cao Xuan?"
