Chapter 36: Temptation and Ambush
"Wei Yan, this is the case, grandpa must want you to know how powerful grandpa is!"
Lu Bu and Wei Yan shouted across a large road.
Wei Yan was naturally not to be outdone.
The two immediately scolded each other in the air.
Cai Mao, who listened to it, was big for a while.
It's so painful!
I knew it was like this.
He said he would never follow.
However, even so.
Cai Mao still had to stop the behavior of the two in time.
"Two generals, the Xiliang Army is estimated to be here!"
"Cai Mao, don't make any noise, otherwise something goes wrong and you can't afford it!"
Hearing this, although Wei Yan and Lu Bu still wanted to scold each other.
But they know the magnitude of the problem.
Lu Bu, who was beside Cai Mao, immediately glared at Cai Mao angrily.
The latter scolded his mother in his heart.
Lao Tzu is a military advisor who came to see the situation!
I didn't provoke you!
What are you staring at me for!
I've got you to provoke you!
Of course, Cai Mao only dared to complain silently in her heart.
Whether it is Wei Yan or Lu Bu, he can't afford to provoke him.
As the scolding battle between the two ended.
The surrounding mountains and forests quickly calmed down.
It's just that this little calm seems a little weird.
It's as if a venomous snake is lurking here.
Wait for the enemy to appear and deliver the fatal blow.
Meanwhile.
Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu, and Xu Rong led an army of 50,000 and marched all the way along the path.
"No, General Xu, it's too far away."
"I'm afraid that by the time we arrive in Chang'an, Liu Hong's army will already be stationed in the city."
Zhang Ji glanced at the endless path and spoke.
Zhang Xiu on the side also nodded.
Hearing this, Xu Rong couldn't help but think.
Until now, their army has been on a small road.
In order to avoid ambushes and reveal their whereabouts.
But now it seems.
The pace of the march was indeed a bit slow.
"If it really doesn't work, let's take the big road, General Xu Rong?"
Seeing Xu Rong pondering, Zhang Ji continued to suggest.
"But if you take the big road, I'm afraid you'll be ambushed by the enemy, right?"
Xu Rong said with some concern.
Although he and Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu are also generals under Dong Zhuo.
But this time, he Xu Rong is the commander of the army.
That means.
Once something big happens.
There is a good chance that he will be implicated.
It may not be possible to be killed by Dong Zhuo.
"General Xu Rong rest assured, most of Liu Hong's army is still on the way, let alone bypassing the ambush in Chang'an City."
"We've planted a lot of spies in Chang'an City."
Zhang Xiu also opened his mouth to advise.
"But ......"
Xu Rong was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, General, if there's anything wrong, Zhang Xiu and I will carry it with you."
"In addition, I can lead an army of 10,000 to test the road ahead."
"If there is really an ambush, it will also be convenient for General Xu Rong to lead troops to rescue."
Zhang Ji patted his chest and said.
Seeing this, Xu Rong didn't have much to say.
Let the army change the road now.
I have to say that the avenue is indeed wide.
The marches of the great armies have become much faster.
As for Zhang Ji, he led a thousand soldiers and horses to quickly go along the route to test.
Looking at the other party's back, Xu Rong felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Is it a delusion?
Two hours later.
Chang'an City is 200 miles away.
Cai Mao was dozing, but in a trance, she found a faint puff of smoke and dust at the end of her vision.
That is the result of a rapid march of the great army.
At that moment, Cai Mao was completely sleepy, and hurriedly woke up Lu Bu.
"General Lu Bu, you are tall and have excellent eyesight, can you see if it is an army in the distance?"
Cai Mao asked.
Hearing this, Lu Bu looked in the direction pointed by the other party, and suddenly snorted coldly.
"Humph! It seems that it is the old thief Dong, when General Ben takes his dog's head, see that grandson Wei Yanken refuses to admit defeat! ”
The voice fell.
Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's halberd and was about to rush over.
Seeing this, Cai Mao hurriedly grabbed him.
"General, don't be impulsive!"
"Let's lure the enemy deeper and see how many of this army are there before making a decision!"
Hearing Cai Mao's words, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment.
Then he nodded helplessly.
But the gushing and burning battle intent in his eyes couldn't be resisted.
Seeing this, Cai Mao also hurriedly beckoned the soldiers not far away to wave the flag for Wei Yan's side.
Speaking of flag language, Cai Mao has to admire Liu Hong's ingenuity.
Just a small flag.
It is possible to design so many easy-to-understand signals.
And again, there are no obvious markings.
The only thing that might stand out is the whirring of flags piercing through the air.
But other than that.
Cai Mao has to say that Liu Hong's invention is seamless.
It's just tailor-made for marching formations!
But if Liu Hong knew Cai Mao's thoughts.
I'm afraid I can't help but cry.
When he was in college, he underwent a month of devilish military training as a serious army instructor.
Later, Liu Hong pretended to have a knee injury and wanted to escape.
was caught back by others and even the flag language team in the flag language.
I practiced for a whole month.
That time was called the Four Weeks of Hell by all the members of the Bannermen.
Can he be bad with this banner!?
Flags are really efficient in delivering messages.
It didn't take long for Wei Yan to learn that the army was coming.
All of a sudden, all the soldiers were tense and ready for battle.
They are waiting for the order of the flag.
As long as Cai Mao fell.
Wei Yan would not hesitate to charge with 15,000 elite soldiers.
However, when the army was halfway through the march, Wei Yan saw that Cai Mao was slow to make a move, and he suddenly felt a little unbearable.
It's just that no matter how much I want to make a move.
He could only endure it obediently.
Although Liu Hong asked the two of them to come, the actual general was Cai Mao.
Once the military regulations are violated.
I am not afraid of punishment.
is afraid of being ridiculed by Lu Bu.
Soon, the 10,000-strong army led by Zhang Ji completely entered the encirclement.
"Strategist, can we attack this time?"
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Ji's army not far away, eager to try.
Hearing this, Cai Mao did not reply.
At this time, he was calculating the strength of the army in front of him.
Although because of the restrictions of the road, the army looks densely packed and people next to each other.
But in fact, Cai Mao concluded that the number of troops in front of him did not exceed 15,000.
Only... Fifteen thousand troops?
This is not like the style of Dong Zhuo's army.
"Strategist, if you don't give orders again, they'll pass!"
Seeing that Cai Mao was unmoved, Lu Bu immediately urged a little anxiously.
The reason why he was in such a hurry.
In fact, it was to be able to compete with Wei Yan.
Let's see who kills the most enemies.
"No, we're going to hold our ground for the time being."
Cai Mao thought forward and backward, but still shook his head.
Even if it is the vanguard of Dong Zhuo's army, how can it be that there are only 10,000 people?
Even if the army did appear to be numerous.
He Cai Mao could count with his eyes.
Behind this army of 10,000 people, there must be a large number of troops!
"This!"
Seeing that Cai Mao was still not allowed to attack, Lu Bu had no choice but to sit back.
