Chapter 26: Take off the rabbit

Wei Yan sat under the thick shade of trees, watching the smoke rising from Cao's camp, and watching Xu Huang, the front army leading the army through the valley and heading towards Fancheng. Looking down from the mountain, he could see Xu Huang very clearly. Xu Huang raised his head when he was passing the valley. He even had an illusion that Xu Huang was looking at him, and he could even see the smile on Xu Huang's face, which made him wonder if Xu Huang had discovered him. When he saw Xu Huang looking around and slowly moving away, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Is there a famous general? There is no ambush here, and I can't see it. If it weren't for catching Cao Cao's big fish, I, Wei Yan, would have shot you with one arrow today.

After Xu Huang's rear team passed, Zhang Liao's front army entered the valley and slowly followed. Wei Yan looked at the battle flags and guessed the names of people he had never heard of. He looked at the large tent of the Cao army's central army that was still moving like a mountain in the distance. He broke a piece of grass and bit it in his mouth, turning it boringly.

The sun rose higher, the dew in the forest slowly dried up, and the cicadas on the treetops and insects on the grass blades also started to scream, making people feel upset and sweating. Damn, why are there so many Cao troops? When will the central army move? Wei Yan thought with some depression.

A scout bowed and walked through the woods lightly, approached Wang Wei and whispered a few words. Wang Wei frowned and moved to Wei Yan's side and said softly: "Long Wen, things are a little wrong."

Wei Yan was shocked, looked at the scout, and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

The scout quickly said the situation he found: "General Hengye Xu Huang went to Fancheng, and General Zhang Liao of the Detachment also went to Fancheng, but he sent a thousand cavalry to go east."

"Xiangdong?" Wei Yan was stunned for a moment, and the grass twisted in his hand was broken by him: "Where did Xiangdong go? Did you see it?"

"No, I saw that the situation was wrong, so I immediately came back to report it. A brother followed me behind me." The scout saw Wei Yan's bad expression and said nervously. Wei Yan glanced at the Cao army slowly passing below, then looked at the Cao army camp that had not yet moved in the distance, and suddenly turned around and said to a personal guard: "Go and call the military marquis of the scout camp immediately."

The guard hugged and Wei Yan said to the scout again: "Go to the river immediately to see if there is any problem with our ship, and check where the team of cavalry went."

"No!" Seeing Wei Yan's face was serious, the scout responded quickly and left quickly.

"What? Wen Chang, do you think those cavalry will stop our ship?" Wang Wei became a little nervous. Wei Yan nodded, and his heart suddenly beat. No wonder Cao's movements were a bit weird today. The team was so long that the central army had not moved yet. But were they cautious or had they discovered something?

The Junhou of the scout camp hurried over, and Wei Yan grabbed him: "Have all the people who were sent out yesterday come back?"

Junhou shook his head: "Most of them are back, only Li Saner's army has not come back yet, but they have gone the farthest and may be on the way back."

"Li San'er, is that thin and small boy?" Wei Yan thought for a moment and remembered this person.

"Aunts have a good memory, but he is. Although he is not good at martial arts, he is very clever and should be fine." Junhou said hurriedly.

Wei Yan shook his hand: "You should send someone to pick him up quickly and report any situation immediately."

"No!" The military marquis responded and left quickly. Wei Yan turned around two circles, looked at the Cao army's central camp in the distance, and said to Wang Wei: "Sir, I don't think it's right, let's retreat quickly."

"Retreat?" Wang Wei hesitated a little. He had been waiting for so long. It seemed that Cao Cao was coming soon. Is it a pity to withdraw at this time? He looked at Wei Yan reluctantly, and looked at Cao Jun in the distance with reluctance and smashed his mouth.

Wei Yan was also a little hesitant. Just as he was thinking about what to say, he saw a scout running from a distance. He suddenly raised his heart to his throat, and his mind was a little uncomfortable for a moment. Something happened, and he suddenly felt an ominous feeling.

"Sir... Sir..." The scout rushed to them and knelt down on the ground with a thud. He was about to speak, but Wei Yan grabbed the collar and shouted in a low voice: "Don't panic, say slowly." The scout looked at Wei Yan's long sword that had pulled out half of the long sword, and his legs were so scared that he sat on the ground. He looked around timidly. Seeing that the soldiers were looking here, he quickly squeezed out a smile, and then said softly: "A thousand cavalry arrived at the ferry, and the boats we left there were all requisitions by them."

"Recruitment?" Wei Yan's scalp exploded, loosened the scout's collar, shouted, "Search again." After the scout left, he said to Wang Wei hurriedly: "Sir, these thousand cavalry are not just for requisition of ships, I'm afraid it's a fool. I think Li San'er and the others were arrested. Cao's military uniforms were not aware of it. Maybe they wanted to surround us. Now, while they have not yet joined the surround, it's still too late for us to leave. It's hard to get it any longer."

When Wang Wei heard this, he immediately stood up and looked at Wei Yan nervously: "Wen Chang, are you sure?"

Wei Yan gritted his teeth: "Yan is sure."

Wang Wei walked around twice, looked at Cao Jun who was passing by the valley below, and said reluctantly: "We have been guarding all night, and we can't go home empty-handed. Should we hit them?"

"No, we didn't come for them. Even if we injured hundreds of people, it would be useless. I'd better take advantage of the fact that they didn't surround us and rushed to Fancheng from the small path." Wei Yan glanced at Wang Wei, who was a little puzzled, and continued: "These two thousand of us are not opponents of Cao's army at all. Seven or eight thousand people have passed in the morning. Cao's army is also a warrior of a hundred battles. Our Jingzhou soldiers are not opponents in front of each other, and the number of people is too different. So I'd just enter Fancheng immediately and rely on Liu Yuzhou to keep peace."

"Well." Wang Wei stomped his feet hatefully and immediately sent the order out.

Cao Chong stood in front of the central army's tent, looking at the flock of birds flying in the valley ahead, shook his head with regret, and sighed at the green glass sheets in his hand. It was only when he arrived in the army that he had already found that there was already a glass for concentration at this time, but the color was not pure and there were bubbles inside, which was really useless. Otherwise, he could also make a telescope to play with, not as if he could only judge the situation based on those birds now.

"Cang Shu, Wei Yan is so quick to tell the situation." Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to block the dazzling sunshine at noon. He looked at the ambush on the distant hillside that no longer covered his body and hurried away. He said in an admiration: "You said he is a general, but he really has some potential."

"It's a pity that he discovered it too early. Now General Wenyuan is afraid that he hasn't cut off his retreat yet." Hua Xin also smiled with regret and said, "Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't escape the net of heaven and earth set by the young master."

"Two thousand people are not worth taking it to heart. I'll send an order to accelerate and rush to Fancheng to meet Liu Xuande for a while." Cao Cao waved his hand disapprovingly and gave the order to move forward at full speed. Cao Chong looked at the blue sky on the other side of the mountain and was a little puzzled. Could it be that the butterfly effect had already affected this place? Will Liu Bei escape? Does Zhao Zilong, Changbanpo, have the chance to perform seven in seven out? The stories he knows are even more unreliable, right? Alas, this prophet is becoming more and more difficult to be.

Wei Yan and Wang Wei ran wildly in the mountains with their men, and they did not dare to walk on the official road. Since Cao's army discovered their ambush and sent someone to cut off his waterway, it was naturally impossible for him to swagger back on the official road. So Wei Yan didn't say anything, even threw away his horse, and took Wang Wei to run away from the mountain road.

As long as he ran fast, he chose the road. When Zhang Liao learned that Wei Yan had gone down the mountain and did not go to the ferry entrance to drill his pocket, but entered the mountain, he immediately followed him with people and caught up. When he arrived at the mountain, he picked up a few horses and didn't catch anything. He smiled bitterly and looked at the messy footprints on the road and the green soil. He could only sigh helplessly, look back at his son Zhang Hu and said, "I didn't expect that he was really a hit by Mr. Cang Shu. No matter how the war is, Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang first escaped, and he was a master. The hero cut off his arm and determined to make a lot of decisions."

Zhang Hu looked at his father with a disappointed look in surprise and smiled: "Father, you haven't praised him so much, this time it's rare."

"Boy, you don't praise people, it's rare that someone is worthy of your praise. If you can have half of Mr. Cang Shu, I'm not too late to praise you every day." Zhang Liao deliberately whipped Zhang Hu with anger and smiled in anger. The father and son laughed for a while, and Zhang Liao stopped and said, "Zi Wei, I really have to thank Mr. Cang Shu for speaking. If he hadn't made any suggestions in front of the Prime Minister, you guys, you guys, don't know when they would follow the battlefield.

And so. Speaking of which, we are a military man. Do we go to read the scriptures without letting the battlefield earn money? Reading the scriptures must also be respectful to you. Those pedantic masters look down on us. Don’t be polite to you. When they can be used, they will be a treasure. When they don’t need it, they will take your military power at the least, and when they are not needed, they will take your life at the worst. Those literati are unreliable. You must be close to Mr. Cangshu in the future. Although some people say that he is not in line with the teachings of the saints, whoever listens to those nonsense will be unlucky."

"Oh, I remember." Zhang Hu felt very strange. His father usually had a lot of faces. This time he came out and suddenly he seemed to have changed. He talked too much and smiled on his face. Sometimes he was so long that he annoyed. After saying the details of the marching and war, he remembered them all, but he still repeatedly reminded him, and even watched him do it with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.

"Don't laugh, I see that you boy is getting less and less rules lately. I'm talking, why are you smiling with a smile?" Zhang Liao turned around and saw the smile on his son's face, and he couldn't help but feel stern. Zhang Hu was so scared that he stuck out his tongue and drove away. He turned around and shouted, "Father, I'm going to the front army."
