Therefore, Sima Yi had no psychological pressure...after parting ways, he began a rapid march...
He wanted to kill Guo Jia before he arrived in Wancheng.
This is not a simple matter. Guo Jia is rumored to be a weak scholar. He only stays in Yecheng on weekdays and travels between Youjian Villa and Zhen Mansion. But people who are familiar with him know it well - Guo Jia
His wit and sharpness are no less than that of Yi Xiaotian.
This is why Yi Xiaotian was so relieved to hand Yecheng Youjian Villa into his hands.
As early as when Guo Jia asked Huang Cheng to deliver the message, Guo Jia was already prepared to be hunted down - the journey to Wancheng is not far... because whether it is starting from Shiyang or Youyang, because
The rain in the territory has obviously weakened, and there are few rivers on the road. As long as you have a fast horse, you can definitely reach Wancheng in two days or three days.
When Sima Yi chased them out, Guo Jia had already opened up a day's distance gap with them. One of the difficulties was to catch up with this gap.
But that’s not all…
Guo Jia chose a more remote route, erasing the traces of horse hooves along the way. This anti-reconnaissance and tracking ability was taught step by step by Yi Xiaotian, Li Fu and others.
This was already the case, and the possibility of Sima Yi catching up with Guo Jia and killing him was infinitely low.
Things took a turn for the better on the second day after Sima Yi left the army.
Located in the middle area between Qianshui River and Wanshui River, two tributaries of Xianshui River and Wanhe River, a mountain range called Qianshan blocks the direct road from Bo'an in the north to Wancheng.
Guo Jia, who had met Huang Cheng near Youyang not long ago, did not choose to cross Qichun from Youyang to Wancheng. Instead, he went east from Youyang, arrived near Bo'an, and then headed south.
, taking advantage of the mountains of Qianshan, you can not only hide your whereabouts, but you can also directly choose the waterway behind to save energy and reach the north of Wancheng.
This is Guo Jia's route.
Under normal circumstances, few people would guess that he would take this long detour.
So Guo Jia can be sure that he is safe now.
At this time, Guo Jia had just arrived at Qianshan. Qianshan is also called Tianzhu Mountain. It was named because Tianzhu is hidden deep in the mountains, with a towering peak and thousands of rocks and valleys, large and small, all around it.
But this description also clearly illustrates the characteristics of Qianshan - first of all, it is steep. Not only does Tianzhu stand upright, Qianshan Mountain is composed of a series of continuous peaks. Its steep form, even if the surrounding mountains depend on it,
It is also difficult for hunters to protect themselves from slipping and falling due to negligence.
In addition, there are countless streams and cliffs in the mountains. Walking through the hidden mountains is definitely no less dangerous than walking on a battlefield where swords and swords are shining.
In addition... the hidden mountain has lush foliage, and it can be regarded as the most densely forested mountain in the surrounding area... If you don't have some special skills to distinguish the direction when entering the mountain, it is easy to get lost in the mountain, and even worse...
The ration of wild beasts.
Even so... Guo Jia still chose to take this path.
When traveling in the mountains, there will never be any worries about whereabouts. It is just dangerous - compared to running on the road... Once you are really caught up by someone like Sima Yi, you will die without any suspense.
, no matter what you think about the two, you still have to choose the former option.
Even...until he arrived at Qianshan, Guo Jia was not sure whether Sima Yi had sent any pursuing troops.
Just for the sake of a possibility, Guo Jia chose to take a desperate risk... naturally to ensure that the news could be delivered to Yi Xiaotian.
——At the same time, Sima Yi and others happened to have arrived at the north bank of Jushui in Qichun...
Sure enough, he chose the route from Youyang directly across Qichun and then to Wancheng.
Along the way, because no trace of Guo Jia was found, Sima Yi, who was confident at first, became impetuous again.
He doubts something...
That is, they have embarked on a completely different path from Guo Jia.
At this time, whether it is Qichun, Jiangxia or Lujiang, they are all on special alert during wartime. As long as there are horse hoof prints on the road, you don't need to think too much - you can judge the identity of the opponent based on the number. He is either a member of the army or a member of the army.
…That’s Guo Jia.
But no matter how keen Guo Jia is, he will not be able to see any trace of his progress on the road...
So this easily makes Sima Yi think of another possibility:
"Maybe... maybe I'm chasing in the wrong direction..."
Sima Yi murmured, and the attendants beside him did not dare to speak. After all, Sima Yi's face was so gloomy and scary at the moment.
"but…"
"This is not unsolvable."
Sima Yi soon thought of a solution.
In terms of speed alone, it is absolutely impossible for Guo Jia to march faster than them in such a hurry...
Sima Yi came this time and equipped three good horses for his entourage. No matter how fast Guo Jia was, he had to rest, otherwise he would be in a completely desperate situation once the horses died of exhaustion on the road.
In addition...Sima Yi spent a lot of money to obtain a map before setting off. After analyzing the map, he came up with the best solution.
"Since we can't find Guo Jia, we will march faster and arrive near Wancheng earlier than him... When he is about to think that he has reached the destination, we will be one step ahead and kill him directly. The so-called waiting for the rabbit is better than us
It’s much more convenient to just try your luck!”
After hearing Sima Yi's analysis, everyone fell into admiration.
Without saying much, Sima Yi immediately ordered everyone to speed up again. This time they even gave up less than half an hour of rest time. After a whole day of rapid march, they would soon arrive at the Qiaohe River northwest of Wancheng.
At this time, Guo Jia, who was exploring the hidden mountains, encountered an unexpected danger.
——
Before entering the mountain, Guo Jia had planned his itinerary, estimated his speed, and brought nearly two days of food and water. But that night... while Guo Jia was taking a break, a sudden sound came from the forest.
The wolf howled immediately made Guo Jia alert.
Wild wolves... no, not just wild wolves, but a pack of wolves.
Guo Jia quickly stood up, pulled out a burning stick from the fire, and kept one hand on his waist, where a long sword hung... Guo Jia was not good at using swords, but for safety, he
He still brought one - if possible, he hoped that this sword would never be used, but it was different now.
bass……
Guo Jia drew out his long sword, holding a torch in one hand and a long sword in the other, both of them in front of him. At the same time, pairs of gray-green eyes slowly appeared in the dim woods.
Three heads - three heads in front...
In fact, there are seven heads together.
A pack of seven wild wolves found Guo Jia, who was alone. The country was leaning on the cliff, and the horses beside him were a little restless because they felt the scent of wild beasts.
It is too steep here, otherwise the country would have fled on horseback long ago. Now he is surrounded. If he is not careful... he will become the dinner of this group of wild wolves.
