With Wei Yan's joining, the march was a lot smoother, Wei Yan was originally from Nanyang, and in order to camp here before, Wei Yan had specially explored the surroundings, not to mention the terrain and road conditions in this area, but the general direction was grasped, and the Yiyang soldiers under his command also knew better how to go on the mountain roads in this area than the people and horses brought by Lu Bu.

Why is the mountain road so difficult?

The road to the end of life is rugged, it is easy to take the wrong road, once you go wrong, at least it is a gap of a few hours, one is not careful, and the time of the day is wasted, and Lu Bu is now, what he lacks the most is time.

"Lord, after this mountain pass, go to the northeast, a hundred miles is Shangcai, and fifty miles to the southeast is Yang'an, but Shangcai is now the garrison of Cao's army, and the last general thinks that we should go to Yang'an." Wei Yan rode his horse to Lu Bu's side, and just joined Lu Bu's command, Wei Yan was very eager to make meritorious contributions, and his performance was very enthusiastic.

Although Shangcai is Runan County, Liu Bei has just mastered Runan, some important towns, with Cao's army heavily garrisoned, Liu Bei can not take it, although it is said to be the lord of Runan, but in fact, several important towns in Runan are still controlled by Cao Cao.

"Yang'an?" Lu Bu flipped out the map, looked at it, nodded and said, "Now, our army can only go to Yang'an." ”

The ghost guard has already come to report that Guo Jia had arrived in Yang'an three days ago, but even if he knew, Lu Bu could only take this road now.

Shangcai is heavily guarded by Cao's army, and Yang'an is nominally owned by Liu Bei, but in fact, this is currently a chaotic area, Liu Bei is not enough manpower to take care of it, and Cao Cao's previous focus was on Yuan Shao, and Yang'an is located in the middle of nowhere, which is a place where bandits are rampant.

"What's the name of the mountain?" Lu Bu suddenly pointed to a mountain road in front of him.

"This mountain is shaped like a barberry, known as the Lying Cow Mountain, the lord does not look at the mountain close, and there are twenty or thirty miles away from it." Wei Yan followed the direction pointed by Lu Bu, looked at it for a while, frowned, and said: "If you can go over the mountain, you can walk more than ten miles less, and you can reach it tonight, but now Runan is chaotic and there are a lot of bandits, so it is the last general to ask the lord to take a detour." ”

Lu Bu also saw that the Woniu Mountain was sinister, so he asked this question, but he didn't care much when he heard the words: "A little bit of a bandit, Wen Chang is not like a coward." ”

Wei Yan smiled bitterly: "If it is only us, the sword mountain and the sea of fire are naturally not afraid, but now escorting His Majesty on the side, although these bandits are a rabble, but the terrain of this Woniu Mountain is complicated, if the enemy army carries out a sneak attack, it will be unfavorable to our army." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, now it is best to rush back to Xuzhou as soon as possible, there is no need to entangle with these bandits, and after going down to ask Liu Xie, he took everyone and prepared to take a detour.

There was nothing to say all the way, and seeing that he was about to bypass this Woniu Mountain, Hao Zhao, who was in charge of arranging the horse exploration, suddenly rode his horse to Lu Bu's side: "Lord, several of our brothers who went out to explore the road have not returned yet, I'm afraid something has happened." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes were cold, he looked around, and chose a place with a backwater to temporarily go to the village.

"Wen Hou, what's wrong?" Liu Xie turned over and dismounted, rubbed his somewhat sore waist, and came to Lu Bu's side and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the scout horses we sent have not returned for a long time, and there may be ambushes on the road ahead." Lu Bu looked at Liu Xiedao.

"I don't know about military affairs, so this matter is up to Marquis Wen." Liu Xie nodded, said no more, and helped Fu Shou to the river to find a clean place to rest.

Lu Bu summoned Wei Yan, frowned and asked, "What powerful bandits are here?" ”

"This ......" Wei Yan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The last general is not familiar with this area. ”

In order to intercept Lu Bu before, he had only explored the nearby terrain and knew that there were many bandits here, but he didn't know which ones there were.

When Lu Bu heard this, he looked at the surrounding mountains and said, "If you are a bandit, where will you set up a village?" ”

"If there is water in the mountains, it is the best place to set up a village." Wei Yan pondered.

"Your Yiyang soldiers, do you dare to go with me to meet these grass cowards?" Lu Bu looked at Wei Yan and smiled.

"Dare to disobey!" Hearing this, Wei Yan straightened his chest and said loudly.

If it is an army, only thirty or so people dare not mess with it, but if it is just some bandits, it was because of the safety of the Son of Heaven that he persuaded Lu Bumo to provoke him, but now that the other party has provoked him, Wei Yan is not afraid of these bandits.

"Hao Zhao!"

"The last general!" Hao Zhao stepped forward and bowed.

"You take people to camp here, wait for me to return!" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"Whoa!" Hao Zhao bowed and went to camp by himself, as for whether this trip was dangerous, Hao Zhao didn't think about it at all, thousands of troops and horses couldn't stop Lu Bu, he didn't think that a group of bandits and grass robbers could do anything to Lu Bu, Mo said that there were Wei Yan and more than 30 Yiyang soldiers around him, even if Lu Bu was the only one, he could come and go freely.

At that moment, Lu Bu left the red rabbit behind, and only gathered an ordinary war horse to take Wei Yan and more than 30 Yang soldiers into the mountain.

The terrain of this Woniu Mountain is treacherous, the mountain road only allows two horses to go in parallel, the mountain road is halfway through, when you reach a narrow road, you see more than 100 bandits suddenly appear on the mountains on both sides, saying that they are bandits, but the weapons are strange, there are spears, there are Ge, and even some people carry sticks and axes to surround Lu Bu and his party.

Wei Yan snorted coldly and said, "Presumptuous, do you know who we are?" ”

"No matter who you are, when you come to this Woniu Mountain, you have to leave your money!" On a mountain rock, a man with a yellow scarf on his head and a battle robe sat on it, knocked on the mountain stone he sat down with the sword in his hand, looked at everyone and smiled: "Otherwise, this mountain stone will roll down, and you will die." ”

"You caught my people?" Lu Bu looked at this man and said indifferently.

The man frowned and said, "Now it's so-and-so talking to you, when will it be your turn to ask me!?" ”

Lu Bu looked at his face and frowned slightly: "It doesn't seem to be you." ”

The man stood up, his eyes showed a fierce light, but Lu Bu had already taken the spear from the hand of a nominal yang soldier and waved it at the man: "You can die!" ”

The man didn't expect the other party to be so fierce, so he hurriedly rolled and rolled down the mountain rock in embarrassment.

"Bang~"

But when he saw the spear falling from the sky, the huge force directly smashed the mountain stone into a spiderweb-like crack, and his heart was terrified.

"Shoot the arrows!" Wei Yan pulled out his sword and shouted.

Ten Yiyang soldiers with bows and arrows directly drew their bows and arrows, and shot at the minions who were waving flags and shouting on both sides, and seven or eight people were hit by arrows and fell down screaming on the spot.

"Attack!" Taking advantage of the chaos of the other party, Wei Yan directly commanded the soldiers to climb the hill and kill with a sword, and Wei Yan even carried a sword to find the man who was the leader and rushed over.

Seeing this, the man hurriedly swung his sword to fight with Wei Yan, and in an instant, they fought more than a dozen times, and they were even victorious.

Wei Yan had the intention to behave in front of Lu Bu, but who knew that the person who came had a lot of means, Wei Yan couldn't take it for a while, he was furious in his heart, and the swordsmanship in his hand became more and more violent.

The surrounding bandits were a rabble, and they were killed by the Yiyang soldiers in just one round, regardless of the fact that their own leaders were still fighting with others, and they scattered in all directions.

Lu Bu did not participate in the battle, but rode around to the top, and saw that the man and Wei Yan were fighting fiercely together, and it was difficult to distinguish the victory and defeat for a while, but he couldn't help but take a few more looks.

Wei Yan's martial arts are not high now, and he is far from his peak, but even so, it is not idle, if Lu Bu was reborn, he might not be able to win it without Sanhe, but now this man can fight with Wei Yan, but his skills are not bad.

The man was already anxious when he saw that his command would be scattered in the next round, but when he saw Lu Bu coming over at this moment, he panicked, and was slashed on the shoulder by Wei Yan with a sword, and screamed in pain, but he rolled on the spot, and without waiting for Wei Yan to go up again, he suddenly shouted: "Slow!" ”
