Chapter 172: The Prancing Horse

Wei Yanzheng led the cavalry to gallop in the mountains and forests, and it was really a hard thing to pursue in the dense forest.

He pursued to the south, from Lingling County to Cangwu County, there are two waterways of Fengshui and Lishui, and a narrow river channel was impacted between the five mountains, and there were counties such as Yingpu, Xie Mu, Fengcheng, Fuchuan, Linhe, and Fengyang, and the two waterways were together with Yushui from the west, and the Guangxin River was merged into the Pearl River in Cangwu County, and the river was rolling eastward.

However, all the generals agreed that if Liu Bei and Pang Tong went south, it would be impossible to take this official road, because this official road was full of Zhang Liao scouts, and it was impossible to pass through. Therefore, Wei Yan's cavalry pursued along the mountain road that was like nothing in the mountains.

Cao Wu's deadline was one day and one night, and Wei Yan had already spent three-quarters of the time, and there were only a few hours left to go back, but he still didn't get anything.

Wei Yan's expression gradually became anxious, he could see that these five hundred tiger and leopard horses were the elite of the elite, and their strength was extremely strong, and because of this, they were very uninterested in their own little-known general, Wei Yan did not have a prominent official position, nor did he have outstanding achievements, if it weren't for Cao Wu's order, coupled with the elite itself's obedience to the order, they would have stopped doing it a long time ago.

He is not a person who is good at words, otherwise Changsha has been dormant for several years, and with his ability, he may have come out a long time ago.

In the face of the distrust of the tiger and leopard riders, the only solution he could think of was to find the traces of Liu Bei and Pang Tong quickly through his understanding of the terrain of the four southern counties.

However, along the way, there was almost no trace of Liu Bei's escape, and some people in the tiger and leopard ride even suspected that it was Liu Bei who died in the fire, and no one escaped at all.

"Captain Wei, seeing that it is dark and there is no trace, they must have gone west and landed in the direction of Captain Cao's pursuit, let's go back!"

"Yes, the march in this forest is really difficult, and there are horses here, so I haven't gone far at the end of the day!"

During the tiger and leopard riding, everyone shouted, but because the tiger and leopard cavalry was trained by Cao Chun to govern the army very strictly, the scene was not out of control, they just bullied Wei Yan was not Cao Xiu's kind of clan, and he had no record and no official position.

Wei Yan's already red face rose even redder, and he said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer, everyone, let's ride a horse, but Liu Xuande also has to ride a horse, they will never dare to abandon the horse, in this way, we will always be faster than them with two horses." Besides, General Beifu is talking about one day and one night, and this is not yet ......"

It is useless to reason with the facts, the elites of the tiger and leopard riders already know the situation in their minds, and they will not be persuaded by Wei Yan's words, but the words "General Beifu" somewhat suppressed the temperament of the tiger and leopard riders, Wei Yan hurriedly clamped the horse's belly and came to a captive.

This person is a small leader who has a good Chinese dialect in Wuxi Man, and he has met all the generals in Liu Bei's army, including Liu Bei, he also knows him, and he brought him out mainly to identify.

Wei Yan said: "You come with me, let's go first." ”

Without waiting for the little leader to react, he grabbed his waist, helped him to an empty horse next to him, and pulled the reins of the two horses in one hand, and ran directly on the mountain.

The little leader was frightened, but the tigers and leopards were all knowledgeable in riding, and many people were secretly surprised, they didn't find that this red-faced young general's riding skills were so good, and he was worthy of being an exceptional talent appointed by General Beifu.

Here Wei Yan has quickly crossed a mountain range, a stream appeared in front of him, Wei Yan looked at the map to identify, and found that it was a tributary of Lishui, he was looking at the map, and suddenly heard the little leader shout: "Liu Bei!" Liu Bei is there! The war horses and clothes are all owned by Liu Bei! ”

Wei Yan was startled, and hurriedly looked, only to see that at the other end of the creek, hundreds of meters away, there was indeed someone wearing a white robe and riding a white horse, walking towards the stream, presumably to drink water.

"This head work is my Wei Wenchang!"

Wei Yan was very excited, and his heart was swept away with unhappiness, not only admiring Cao Wu's judgment of Liu Bei's fraudulent death, but also lamenting his luck, as long as he captured Liu Bei, Cao Wu would definitely value himself, and he would be crowned a marquis in the future.

At this distance, Wei Yan found the other party, and the other party naturally found him, so Liu Bei turned his horse's head and walked back.

Where would Wei Yan let him go, he shouted: "Come quickly!" ”

The sound was heard over the hillside, and the tigers and leopards immediately mounted their horses and prepared to come.

Wei Yan himself couldn't wait, and galloped among the streams.

The white horse Liu Bei obviously didn't expect to meet the enemy here, he was very anxious, and kept hitting the horse, but the war horse did not speed up, as if it was extremely disobedient, and it took a long time to run.

At first, Wei Yan was still worried that Liu Bei's subordinates would suddenly kill Guan Zhang and others, but now that he saw that Liu Bei was the only one, he said that God would help me, and the horse was running faster and faster.

But the strange thing is that the warhorse, which did not obey the command, ran much faster than his horse, and was obviously a good horse.

Wei Yan visually measured the speed of the war horse, knowing that the two of them would be further and further away, of course he would not let this earth-heavy wealth slip away, so he immediately took off the short bow behind his back and put a feather arrow on it.

Liu Bei, an enemy chieftain, he must be caught alive, but he is confident that he will be wounded in the shoulder blade with an arrow and taken off his horse without being killed.

Moreover, he clearly saw that the location where the other party fled had been blocked by the stream, which was three zhang wide and impossible to cross, so Liu Bei could only wander by the stream and become his target.

Thinking that the dignified General Zuo, a character called a hero by the prime minister, would be captured alive by himself, Wei Yan's entire body was hot, and his bow was also extremely fast, almost the fastest speed in his life, and an arrow was out.

With a "whoosh", short arrows flew in the air, and Liu Bei also arrived in front of the three-zhang wide stream.

"Medium!"

Wei Yan shouted in his heart, Liu Bei couldn't cross the stream, he couldn't run, and he would inevitably shoot down.

At this moment, Liu Bei's war horse under his crotch suddenly neighed, and his front hooves jumped high.

The unthinkable happened, and the white war horse jumped up like a horse, drawing a rainbow-like arc.

The unsurmountable distance of three zhang was crossed by the war horse!

Wei Yan opened his mouth wide, he didn't expect this war horse to be so strong, what kind of horse is it!

But he didn't have time to close his mouth because something more coincidental had happened.

The war horse jumped to the opposite bank, but the terrain on the opposite bank was low, and the war horse staggered.

At this time, Wei Yan's feather arrow also arrived.

After more than a hundred steps, Wei Yan also heard the sound of the arrow entering the flesh.

It was only because of the sudden leap of the horse that the feather arrow was no longer shot into the shoulder blade, but - into the heart of the left chest!

"Poof!"

It was a dull sound, and Liu Bei on the horse fell off his horse in an instant, and the white war horse walked forward more than ten meters before he found that his master had landed, and turned around and neighed.

"Ahh

Liu Bei on the ground spit out a mouthful of blood, he wanted to support the ground, but his hand was on the ground, and he couldn't use any strength.
