On a sunny day in autumn, a strong wind suddenly blew, causing the big flag standing on Bao City to whistle loudly.
The banners are fluttering and the soldiers are strong and intimidating.
"Crunch!"
Under the city tower, the city gate suddenly opened.
A burst of rapid footsteps came from the city, and the sounds were chaotic. Yan Zhi was on his horse, whipping his horse, and quickly ran out of the city gate, followed by Yan Zhi and Du Xu, who followed closely behind.
Yan Zhi was wearing armor and followed Yan Yan. There were only a few personal guards around him to protect Yan Zhi's safety. All his soldiers stayed in the city. Du Xu led two thousand soldiers under his command and ran quickly. The army left the city.
Behind the gate, the city gate was quickly closed. Unless Yan Yan returned to Baocheng in person, the soldiers guarding the city would never be able to open the city gate.
Yan Zhi was riding on his horse with an excited expression, looking at the empty official road in front of him with an expression of anticipation.
Du Xu looked cold and not very excited.
The army galloped quickly, and Yan Yan directly sent out all the more than 20 scouts under Du Xu's command to find out the news about Wang Can's camp. According to Yan Yan's order, news must be sent back every quarter of an hour. Therefore, as long as it is
After a quarter of an hour, some scouts will send back news about Wang Can's army.
Through this method, Yan Yan was able to continuously learn about Wang Can's situation in the shortest possible time.
However, a quarter of an hour later, none of the scouts returned to the army to deliver the latest news.
Half an hour later, still no scout returned.
When Yan Yan saw that none of the scouts he sent out came back, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
No scouts came back for a quarter of an hour. It could be said that something happened and delayed the time. But half an hour later, none of the twenty scouts came back. This made Yan Yan feel that it was not easy for Wang Can to withdraw his troops for five miles overnight. It was very difficult.
Maybe there was a plan within the plan, and it was a plan specifically designed to target him.
Thinking of this, Yan Yan rode his horse to the front of the army and shouted: "Stop!"
In an instant, the soldiers at the front stopped after hearing the order, and the soldiers behind also stopped.
Du Xu also discovered the trick, rode his horse to Yan Yan's side, and reported back: "General, none of the scouts sent out have returned. The situation is very strange."
Yan Zhi was excited to try it and immediately said: "General, I am willing to lead a hundred soldiers to find out the news."
Yan Yan glanced at Du Xu and Yan Zhi, and then ordered: "Duxu, lead a hundred soldiers to find out the news."
"promise!"
Du Xu listened to the order, ordered a hundred soldiers, and immediately rushed towards Wang Can's camp.
Yan Zhi looked at Yan Yan with a look of unwillingness in his eyes. He breathed heavily and said angrily: "Brother, it's obvious that I asked for a fight first, but you asked Du Xu to lead the troops to investigate. It's obvious that there is no distinction between public and private matters."
Yan Zhi was so angry that he also changed the way he addressed Yan Yan. He changed the title of "general" directly from his subordinates to his superiors to "eldest brother" only to his relatives, without any regard for military discipline. Yan Zhi was also furious.
It was he who first asked Zhan to go find out the news, but Yan Yan indiscriminately sent Du Xu to go, which made Yan Zhi very angry.
Yan Yan was not angry because of the change of title. He looked calm and said softly: "Xiyuan, if I ask you to lead a hundred soldiers to investigate the situation, what will you do if you encounter Hanzhong soldiers?"
Yan Zhi didn't even think about it, looked fierce, and said immediately: "Never mind him, kill him first."
As soon as the words came out, Yan Zhi knew that he had jumped into Yan Yan's trap. Since he was looking for information, of course he couldn't alert the snake. He wanted to raise his hand and slap himself twice. He should have thought more about it, but it was a pity...
Yan Yan spread his hands and said: "Look, I clearly asked you to investigate the news, but you killed the Hanzhong soldiers regardless of the overall situation? What do you think you should do if Wang Can's army is attracted? Do you lead a hundred soldiers?
Go up and fight for your life? You don't care about your own life. Are a hundred other soldiers like you?"
Yan Zhila shrugged his head and said, "I understand!"
Only then did Yan Yan smile, but he did not continue to speak. He looked up at the direction where Du Xu led his troops away with a solemn expression. He went to investigate the news, but everything was unknown!
…
Hanzhong military camp, Chinese military tent.
Wang Can smiled and said: "Fengxiao, Amon led the 'Langya' soldiers to intercept and kill all the scouts sent by Yan Yan. Now Yan Yan became blind and could not detect the situation in the camp.
Now that he is leading a battalion of troops on the road, he is probably trembling in fear and feeling uneasy."
Guo Jiaxiao said: "My lord, if you want to lure the enemy deeper, you must first get rid of his minions. Getting rid of the scouts who are probing for information not only prevents Yan Yan from noticing the situation, but also makes Yan Yan's curiosity rise."
Wang Can said: "If you scare him back to Baocheng, all your plans will be ruined."
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my lord, Yan Yan will send troops."
Wang Can smiled and said: "Fengxiao, you are always so confident. If Yan Yan hadn't led the troops in pursuit, would you still be so confident?" In fact, Wang Can said this just as a joke.
, he also knew that Yan Yan had lost more than 20 scouts, and it was impossible to escape back in despair. What's more, Yan Yan was also a famous general in history, capable of both literary and military skills, so he could not be frightened by this thing.
Flee back to Baocheng.
The two of them kept talking to each other.
After a while, the tent door curtain rolled up, and Zhou Cang hurried in.
Wang Can saw Zhou Cang coming in, smiled at Guo Jia, and then asked: "Zhou Cang, do you have any new news?"
Zhou Cang nodded and said: "The young general just sent back the news. Yan Yan's army stopped advancing, but he sent a hundred soldiers to investigate the news. The young general asked the lord if he would kill the 100 soldiers sent by Yan Yan?" Young general, yes
The title Lü Meng was given by the soldiers under Wang Can. Everyone knew that Lü Meng worshiped Wang Can as his disciple. Everyone knew that Lü Meng had an unlimited future, so they all called him Lü Meng as a junior general. Lü Meng also enjoyed it and found it very useful.
After Wang Can heard this, he immediately ordered: "Send the order and let Yan Yan's soldiers investigate the news without stopping them."
"promise!"
After hearing this, Zhou Cang immediately turned around and conveyed the order.
Wang Can and Guo Jia looked at each other and immediately laughed. The laughter kept reverberating in the camp, leaving Zhou Cang stunned as he just walked out of the camp, not knowing why.
…
Du Xu led a hundred soldiers, moved forward very carefully, and then investigated for news.
There was no obstruction along the way, not a single Hanzhong soldier, not even a Hanzhong soldier scout who was looking for news.
However, the more this happened, the less confident Du Xu felt, and felt that everything was full of doubts. He led a hundred soldiers deep into the hinterland, and was only one mile away from the camp where Wang Can's army was encamped, but it was so close.
Despite the distance, there was still no news of the Hanzhong soldiers and scouts investigating.
In view of this, Du Xu did not dare to move forward.
After checking the news, Du Xu immediately ordered a retreat and quickly headed back. Although most of the official roads on the march were empty official roads with no valleys around and the woods were full of weeds, the road was long and there were always weeds and woods.
The place.
Lu Meng led a hundred "wolf fang" soldiers, who were scattered among the weeds and woods everywhere.
There are one hundred young people, one group of ten young people.
It is precisely because ten groups of teenagers were hidden and distributed at various intersections that they were able to eliminate all the more than twenty scouts sent by Yan Yan. Among the Langya soldiers led by Lu Meng, each teenager has a Ma Jun crossbow and a Han sword, which can be said to be well-equipped
, the Majun Crossbow can hit the enemy without any error within 100 meters, and it can shoot five arrows at one time, which is quite powerful.
For the scouts, riding at high speeds on their horses, it was almost impossible to escape after being targeted, and they were eventually wiped out.
Because Wang Can conveyed the order not to kill, Du Xu was able to go all the way without being intercepted.
After spending half an hour, Du Xu led his troops back to the place where Yan Yan led his troops. When Yan Yan saw Du Xu leading a hundred soldiers back safely, the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed, and he felt relieved in his heart.
After Du Xu rested for a while, Yan Yan asked: "How is the situation?"
Du Xu frowned, his face full of doubts, and said: "The journey is smooth, without any obstruction."
After hearing this, Yan Yan had a look of surprise on his face and said, "Where is Wang Can's camp?"
Du Xu shook his head and said: "The general thought things were strange. He went deep into the area one mile away from Wang Can's camp and then stopped moving forward."
In fact, Du Xu was a little afraid in his heart.
At first, all the twenty scouts sent out were killed, which left a shadow in Du Xu's heart. Then, when Du Xu led his troops to investigate the news, he encountered that the road was clear again.
No trace of any soldiers was found, not even the body of the dead scout was found, and nothing happened along the way, which made Du Xu more and more frightened as he walked.
If he met Hanzhong soldiers, he would not be afraid yet. After all, it was normal to encounter a large army.
However, it seemed a bit strange that there was no one there.
Perhaps Wang Can didn't expect that he was letting him go, but he was so scared that Du Xu didn't dare to move forward, for fear of an ambush ahead. It was precisely because there were no soldiers that Du Xu was confused and only marched to a place one mile away from Wang Can's camp.
, I no longer dare to continue to investigate the situation.
Yan Yan felt helpless when she received such news.
But overall, I still got some useful news.
We didn't get any definite information about Wang Can's camp, and all the scouts he sent out were killed. Does this mean that Wang Can was making a fool of himself and had already led his troops to retreat, so he had the scouts intercepted and killed, and no soldiers appeared to resist?
.Yan Yan is blind now, knowing nothing about the situation ahead, and unable to see clearly what is going on in the fog.
Du Xu felt a little uneasy and asked: "General, what should we do next?"
Yan Yan did not answer Du Xu's words, but asked: "Du Xu, how long have the soldiers brought dry food?"
Du Xu was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and hurriedly said: "One day's dry food!"
After hearing this, Yan Yan raised his head and glanced at the bright sun in the sky, with a thoughtful look on his face. After thinking for a while, he said: "We will lead the troops out of the city. We will not reply to the compliment until we find out Wang Can's situation."
City. Let’s do this. You immediately lead a hundred soldiers back to Baocheng and bring out two days’ worth of dry food.”
Du Xu asked: "General, do you still want to lead the troops on their way?"
A sneer appeared on Yan Yan's face, and she said: "Wang Can plays some tricks to scare people, why should we follow his pace? The army stopped temporarily and was stationed here. We fought steadily, making camp step by step. After dark, we continued on our way.
, I want to see what other tricks Wang Can can do after dark."
When Du Xu heard this, his expression showed surprise and he said: "The general is wise!"
Yan Yan waved his hand and said: "Go back to the city quickly!"
"promise!"
Du Xu led a hundred soldiers, turned around and rushed towards Baocheng.
Yan Yan suddenly thought of his order and shouted loudly: "Du Xu, if you are unable to enter the city, just ask the city guard outside the city to prepare two days of dry food and send it out of the city."
Du Xu waved his hand and said: "The general will understand!"
After finishing speaking, Du Xu led the soldiers and rushed towards Baocheng.
