Chapter 174: Fog
Wei Yan took Yi back with him, and when he joined Cao Wu's army, Cao Xiu, who had gone to the west to pursue, had not yet returned.
Knowing who he shot to death, Wei Yan's mood was very complicated, both excited and disappointed, excited because he had contributed, and disappointed because it was not Liu Bei who died.
It's the phoenix chick Pang Shiyuan.
He informed Cao Wu of the scene of shooting Pang Tong by the stream, and Cao Wu was silent for a long time.
Since the time travel, this kind of time constraint in the dark has always affected the direction of things. Yi didn't recruit anything, Wei Yan didn't dare to lynch this celebrity directly, and brought it back first.
Even the deceased was Pang Tong, which Wei Yan speculated.
Cao Wu, as a descendant, clearly knew why Pang Tong rode Liu Bei's horse and put on Liu Bei's clothes.
Including Luma's sudden crossing of the Sanzhang stream, it bears a striking resemblance to a historical scene.
By this time, he already knew that Liu Bei would not die, and even if he didn't say Longzhong at that time, Liu Bei saw Pang Tong, and he could still get the arrangement of entering Shu, after all, the previous Pang Tong was a firm promoter of entering Shu, and Liu Bei's earliest base in Yizhou was brought down by Pang Tong.
Now, Pang Tong is dead, and Lu Ma has disappeared, Liu Bei missed Wei Yan's pursuit of the army, and he should be able to escape into the land of Bashu without accident. But Liu Bei in this life does not have the support of Jingnan and Nanjun, and there are many less civil generals, whether he can gain Liu Zhang's trust is a later story.
Even cautious people like Zhang He and Yu Ban felt that Liu Bei, who had no wings, was not to be worried, but Jiaozhou was a big disaster, and persuaded Cao Wu not to take care of Liu Bei anymore, but to catch up with Jiangdong and take Jiaozhou as much as possible.
Only Zhang Liao's expression was different, when he was under Lu Bu, he had worked with Liu Bei, and he knew that this person was not just benevolent and righteous.
Seeing that he wanted to speak and stopped, Cao Wu asked, "What does Wen Yuan think?" ”
"Don't let the tiger go back to the mountain!"
Zhang Liao finally expressed his opinion.
Cao Wu nodded in agreement, and asked Wei Yan to take Yi up to ask about Liu Bei's whereabouts.
As soon as Yi Yuan entered the big tent, he scolded Cao Wupo: "Yellow-haired child, dare to sit in the center, Cao Thief is no one in the army!" ”
In this era, people with the ability to scold the coach is a way to show their ability, and Yi thinks that he is a talent for governing the country, and he does not look at Cao Wu in his eyes.
However, Cao Wu just glanced at him, and when he heard his words, he waved his hand: "Forget it, pull it down, be a knife and pen, and don't appear in front of me again in the future." ”
"Whoa!"
Wei Yan didn't complain, and directly pulled the Yi nationality down, Cao Wu didn't look down on the Yi nationality, which made Wei Yan feel happier that Cao Wu was able to take a fancy to him.
Yi's eyes widened, and he didn't expect that Cao Wu didn't even look at him with his eyes, you must know that Liu Bei was a guest of honor.
He scolded again: "Cao thief ......"
With a "bang", Wei Yan directly knocked him unconscious and took him down, it seems that before Yi Zhi became a knife and pen officer, Wei Yan would let Yi Yi spit out all the words that should be said.
All the generals laughed, the generals of the defeated army talked a lot, and they thought a little more highly of Cao Wu's decisiveness, knowing that he was not the kind of person who liked to pretend to be a corporal in front of people.
……
Within the five ridges, Cao Xiu's soldiers and horses were lost in a thick fog.
The period of one day and one night is coming, and Cao Xiu actually found some traces of human activity, but he is not sure that it is Liu Bei.
He led his army to search in the mountains and forests, but suddenly there was a heavy fog, and he could not see face to face.
He had to get the cavalry together, each of them in charge of his two horses, and not to move.
In the fog, one of the horsemen's horses stepped on something and almost tripped, but because they couldn't see, the cavalry didn't care.
After half an hour, the fog finally cleared, Cao Xiu looked at the sun, found that the deadline for one day and one night had arrived, sighed, and knew that if he didn't go back now, if he went further, it would be difficult to find Cao Wu's army.
He glanced back, and had to leave in despair.
After he had been gone for half an hour, where the war horse had almost fallen just now, a person suddenly got up, and Ma Yan rubbed his arm and said, "This almost trampled me to death." ”
Then several more people rose on the ground.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei are also among them.
Guan Yu still looked like he was not smiling, Zhang Fei spat out and said: "But hundreds of cavalry, why bother to suffer this anger!" ”
"Yide!"
Liu Bei shouted, shook his head and said: "Those who have achieved great things are not informal, they can enter the middle of the river, and sooner or later they can seek great causes, why bother to fight with these soldiers!" ”
Zhang Fei muttered a few times and went to find his horse.
It turned out that when it was foggy just now, Liu Bei and the others were only a few feet away from Cao Xiu, and Cao Xiu's eyesight was limited, so Liu Bei hid through the fog.
Liu Bei looked back at the east, his eyes flashed, and he only felt that the fog was strange, as if there was a providence in the dark to protect himself.
"Lord, let's go quickly, it will take more than half a month to enter Shu!"
Ma Liang's words woke him up, Liu Bei sighed, and changed to a compassionate expression.
……
Cao Xiu returned to the army and heard that Wei Yan had killed the enemy's military division Pang Tong. At this time, Yi Ji had already explained everything he knew, and Cao Xiu learned that he was chasing the right direction, but he didn't find anyone, so he couldn't help but secretly say that he was unlucky.
And Cao Wu's army did not pursue Liu Bei again, on the one hand, because it was difficult to chase in the mountains, on the other hand, Cao Wu already knew that history had ended, and killing Liu Bei was at this point in time, I am afraid it would be difficult to do, so I simply stopped doing it.
However, the most important thing is that Cao Wu's army is finally about to reach Buchuan County, the northernmost part of Cangwu County.
Before the army attacked the county seat of Fuchuan, Cao Wuxian sent people to the city to inform the county order, and the new Jiaozhou Mu appointed by the imperial court will arrive soon, and the officials of Jiuzhen County appointed by the imperial court have arrived, hoping to receive one or two.
Fuchuan County Ling You Songben disagreed, they have not served the imperial court for many years, and even Liu Biao in the north is no longer enshrined.
However, when the defenders reported that at least 20,000 people had arrived, You Song decisively opened the city gate to greet the officials who had gone to Jiuzhen County.
So Cao Wu rode a high-headed horse, and without spending a single soldier, he entered the first county seat in the northernmost part of Cangwu.
The Wuling Road is difficult to travel, the news is blocked, and the people in the county are very strange why a large army suddenly came from the north, and Cao Wu's generals are even more strange.
They don't know why Cangwu County, a county with a population of more than 500,000, is not defended at the northern gateway.
Especially Xing Daorong and the others who came from the four southern counties, sighed all the way.
I knew that Cangwu County didn't even have a defender, and the tentacles of their southern four counties had already stretched here.
You Song seemed to see their surprise, and said helplessly: "Buchuan originally had a large army of 5,000 garrisons, and although Lu Ke, the captain of the city guard, did not return to the county to transfer the order, he had a good relationship with me. However, a few days ago, Captain Lu got the order and led all the military horses to the south to help Guangxin. ”
"What? Why help? Whose order? ”
Cao Wu and the others were surprised.
You Song said everything, he said: "Naturally, it is Wu Taishou's order!" As for why he rushed to help, it was said that a big ship suddenly appeared on the sea and wanted to attack Cangwu, so Wu Taishou had to transfer defenders from all over the country to rush to help! ”
"A big ship at sea?"
Cao Wu frowned, Zhuge Liang and Lu Xun looked at each other, and Zhang Liao and the others also looked at each other.
In this era, there is only one company that can drive a big ship at sea.
Jiangdong Sun, it seems, is that Jiangdong's hand has reached out.
So, who is it that arrives?
