Chapter 321 Tracking

He Ping is very brave, and he sneaked back to Brazil. He was actually intercepted by Hu Du here?

The news reported by the department was a surprise to Lei Yuan.

It’s not that Lei Yuan attaches extra importance to these celebrities recorded in history books. In the past two years, Lei Yuan’s power has gradually increased and his status has gradually improved. The civil and military officials around him have gathered like snowballs. Even if he dares not say that he is gathering talents, he is confident that he can deal with any strong enemy with his own strength. When schools at all levels gradually improve, there will only be more and more talents in succession.

What surprised Lei Yuan was that He Ping was the highest-ranking Cao army officer he could find recently.

Previously, when Lei Yuan defeated Xu Huang at Dangqu City, he captured several prisoners of Cao's army, but what they said was a bit concealed and difficult to believe. There were a few bamboo tubes that were not in a position, and what they said were purely catching wind and shadows, which immediately aroused Lei Yuan's anger and threw it back to Yidu to dig coal.

But Lei Yuan was eager to understand the situation in Hanzhong.

He was alone and went thousands of miles away. Zhang Lu and Cao's army in the north were eyeing each other. The Yizhou officials who seemed to be ally might turn their friends into enemies at any time. The connection between Dangqu River to Dajiang and then to Jingzhou was as thin as a thread. In the short term, unless the cooperation between Jingyi and Jingzhou was further improved, it would be difficult to obtain large-scale support. In this case, knowing the secret and predicting the enemy's initiative is the most important task.

How to do it? It is as military tactics say: Those who move and defeat others are prophets; those who prophets must take advantage of others and know the feelings of the enemy.

He Ping is the person Lei Yuan needs. Unlike ordinary people, he was an officer who went to Hanzhong personally and was a lieutenant. If he took this person and subdued this person, he would be able to fully understand the real situation of the Cao army in Hanzhong!

Lei Yuan barely suppressed the joy in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Is there anything Han Chang Chang needs my help?"

The song bowed and said, "They are very numerous. The king of my county plans to sluggish his spirit first, and wait until they hesitate to retreat, or they can rely on the general's military authority to force them to subdue."

Lei Yuan nodded slightly.

Hu Du is definitely a smart person. Lei Yuan estimated that if he had not shown absolute trust in him today, he might not have intercepted so many barbarians. And he sent people to say "relying on military power" more like consciously giving him the opportunity to face He Ping.

That's great, Lei Yuan really needs this opportunity: "Please lead the way, let's go to the mountains."

The mountain roads are steep and difficult to walk, but most of the Lei family members are used to walking ups and downs, and even wearing armor and swords, they can move freely, which makes the leaders turn back frequently and admire them.

Although the weather is hot, the steep and deep places in the mountains naturally have a unique gloomy feeling.

Especially on the battlefield.

When Lei Yuan saw that the bodies of some Hanchang County soldiers and barbarian soldiers were stacked in one place in the narrow space, and several bloody heads were cut down as a shock, he suddenly remembered the situation in the mountains. Although it was one time and another, the scale of the battle was incomparable, but the mood of the two sides of the battle was probably not very different.

"The barbarians have retreated. Although they are brave, they lack a tough and orderly organization. Most of them are mobs. So after attacking twice, some surrendered, and the remaining people fled south." Hu Du stood on the edge of the pass with a knife in his hand.

The rock layer above blocked the sunlight. Lei Yuan could not see Hu Du's face clearly and subconsciously squinted his eyes. Hu Du immediately stood out from the darkness. His wide robe was tied into his belt, and blood was splashed on his cuffs and chest. This means that the battle just now forced him to go into battle himself, not as easy as he said.

Lei Yuanduan bowed seriously and greeted: "Thank you for your hard work and Hanchang has grown up."

He then asked again: "How are the soldiers losing?"

"On these mountain roads, there is no way to do it without perfect cities. Although I try to keep the dangerous situation, the strong men in the county have not had training and combat experience and died more than fifty. In addition, the minor and serious injuries are twice as many as this."

Lei Yuan had already seen some Ding Zhuang abandoned his weapons and began to examine the bodies of his companions, neighbors or relatives in the pile of corpses, and occasionally sighed. Strictly speaking, it was not necessarily particularly sad. In the surroundings of this county in the deep mountains, the confrontation between the Han people and the barbarians has almost never ended for hundreds of years, and everyone has become accustomed to death.

"Please write a note as soon as possible for the setting of the Viakou City. Let's calculate what to do." Lei Yuan nodded: "So, where has the barbarian retreated now? Where is He Ping?"

"During the process of the barbarian retreating, He Ping slowly gathered it up, and now it is on that mountain." Hu Du sighed and raised his hand and pointed: "That place looks close, but the mountain road is actually stretched, so it needs to be walked for a while. Because the passes from north and south are all eleven miles away, it is called Eleven Ligang. He Ping led the barbarian soldiers to retreat south, and only there can be stationed there; the road to the south has been cut off by the troops led by Ju Xiaoxing."

"I'm going to set out now, can I arrive before dark?"

"Let's go now?" Hu Du was shocked: "Of course we can reach it, but will we be more anxious?"

Lei Yuan smiled and waved his hand, leading the people to set off.

After walking a few steps, Hu Du heard Hu Du say, "General, although He Ping is a sage, he has always admired the Chinese language and is very close to the counties... To be honest, I learned that this person was in Hanchang at noon this day and wanted to let him go. Even though he surrendered to Cao, he might not have made an appointment with Yuan, Du Bian and others."

Lei Yuan waved his hand again without any attention.

Lu Yuan was a little surprised that Hu Du and He Ping had a friendship. But he didn't care.

He also knew very well that He Ping had a good relationship with Yuan Yue, Du Fu and other wealthy chiefs, and they were definitely not the same as each other.

Lei Yuan had never directly contacted those Baqin chiefs. He had only seen Pu Hu's corpse at the head of Dangqu City. He was a fat man full of gold, silver and silk. These people had a lot of wealth and cruelly exploited the clan. They were called Yi Ke, but they were actually no different from those Han clan thieves who were causing harm to the side. If He Ping would become like that in the future, Lei Yuan would be amused and cry.

Under the guidance of the guide, Lei Yuan slowly moved forward along the way of retreating the barbarians.

Because they were in abducted ambush, they did not move very fast. Most of the time they walked along the mountains and rivers to avoid the overly lush thorns. As they walked, the sky gradually dimmed, and the originally fierce sunshine was replaced by mottled trees.

When Chi Li Ningta started complaining about his feet hurt, Lei Yuan saw the retreating barbarians. They gathered on a bare rocky hill, lying or curling up, crowding together. Many people didn't even have decent clothes. They didn't look like humans, but they looked like some kind of thin animals gathered in groups.

The movement of Lei Yuan's troops marching along the river alarmed the barbarians. Some of them jumped up suddenly, some shouted for warning, some ran around aimlessly, and some people held women and children without moving, and the whole team was in chaos.

Only a very small number of people maintain basic calm. They try their best to control the team, trying to make the team less loose... but they are not successful.

Li Zhen pointed at one of them and shouted, "Look, it's that guy He Ping!"
