Chapter 359: Steady and Steady

In autumn, on a sunny day, a strong wind suddenly blew, blowing the big flag standing on the city of Baocheng.

The pennant is unfurled, and the soldiers are strong and intimidating.

"Crunch!"

Under the castle tower, the city gate suddenly opened.

A rush of footsteps came from inside the city, and the sound was chaotic. Yan ** was on the war horse, rode his horse and whipped, 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 behind Yan Yan, with only a few guards around him to protect Yan Zhi's safety, and the soldiers under his command were all left in the city. Du Xu led the two thousand soldiers under his command and ran quickly. After the army left the city gate, the city gate was quickly closed, unless Yan Yan personally returned to Baocheng, the soldiers defending the city would never open the city gate.

Yan Zhi rode on the war horse, looking excited, looking at the empty official road in front of him, showing an expectant look.

Du Xu's expression was cold, and he was not much excited.

The army galloped quickly, and Yan Yan directly sent out all the more than 20 scouts under Du Xu's command to investigate the news of Wang Can's camp. According to Yan Yan's order, every quarter of an hour, news must be sent back. Therefore, as long as it was a quarter of an hour later, there would be scouts who would send back news about Wang Can's army.

In this way, Yan Yan was able to continuously understand 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, there was still no scout.

Yan Yan saw that none of the scouts sent out had returned, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart,

The scout did not return for a quarter of an hour, so it can be said that there was a delay in the encounter. But half an hour later, none of the more than 20 scouts came back, which made Yan Yan feel that it was not easy for Wang Can to withdraw his troops for five miles overnight, and it was likely to be a plan, and it was a plan specifically set up against 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 when they heard the order, and the soldiers behind also stopped.

Du Xu also discovered the cattiness in it, rode his horse to Yan Yan's side, and replied: "General, none of the scouts sent out have come back, the situation is very strange." ”

Yan Zhi was eager to try, and immediately said: "General, I am willing to lead a hundred soldiers to find out the news." ”

Yan Yan's eyes swept at Du Xuan and Yan Zhi, and then ordered: "Du Xu, you lead a hundred soldiers to find out the news." ”

"No!"

Du Xu listened to the order, ordered a hundred soldiers, and immediately rushed in the direction of Wang Can's camp.

Yan looked straight at Yan Yan with an unwilling look in his eyes. He snorted and said angrily: "Big brother, it is clear that I asked for the battle first, but you let Du Xu lead the troops to investigate, and it is clear that there is no distinction between public and private." ”

Yan Zhi was angry, and his title for Yan Yan also changed, directly from the 'general' title of his subordinates to his superiors to the title of 'eldest brother' for relatives, without any regard for military discipline. Yan Zhi was also angry, it was he who asked Zhan to investigate the news first, and Yan Yan indiscriminately let Du Xuan go, which made Yan Zhi very angry.

Yan Yan was not angry because of the change in title, his expression was more convenient, and he said in a harmonious voice: "Xiyuan, if I let you lead a hundred soldiers to investigate the situation, once you meet the soldiers of Hanzhong, what will you do?" ”

Yan Zhi didn't want to think about it, his expression was fierce, and he immediately said: "Whatever, kill it." ”

As soon as the words came out, Yan Zhi knew that he had jumped into Yan Yan's sleeve, since it was to investigate the news, of course he couldn't startle the snake. He couldn't wait to raise his hand and slap himself twice, just think about it more, but it's a pity......

Yan Yan spread out his hand and said, "Look, I obviously asked you to investigate the news, but you killed the Hanzhong soldiers regardless of the overall situation?" If you attract Wang Can's army, what do you say? Do you lead a hundred soldiers up and fight hard? If you don't care about your own life, are the other hundred soldiers like you? ”

Yan Zhila shrugged his head and said, "Understood!" ”

Yan Yan smiled at this time, but he didn't continue to speak, he looked up at the direction where Du Xu led the troops away, showing a solemn look, this time to investigate the news, everything is unknown!

……

Hanzhong army camp, Chinese army tent.

Wang Can smiled and said, "Fengxiao, Amon led the 'Wolf Tooth' soldiers to intercept and kill all the scouts sent by Yan Yan, and now Yan Yan has become blind and cannot detect the situation in the camp. Now that he is leading a battalion of troops on the road, I am afraid that they are all trembling and frightened, and their hearts are unstable. ”

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Lord, if you want to lure the enemy deeper, you naturally have to go to his minions first. Getting rid of the scouts who probed the news not only made Yan Yan unaware of the situation, but also aroused Yan Yan's curiosity. ”

Wang Can said: "If you scare him back to Baocheng, all plans will be in vain." ”

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 didn't lead the troops to pursue, I think you can still be as confident as this?" In fact, Wang Can said this just as a joke, and he also knew that Yan Yan had lost more than 20 scout soldiers, so it was impossible for him to flee back like this. What's more, Yan Yan is also a famous general in history, capable of writing and martial arts, and it is impossible for him to be frightened by this incident and flee back to Baocheng.

The two of you say a word, I say a word, and they keep talking.

After a while, the curtain of the tent door was rolled up, and Zhou Cang hurriedly walked in.

When Wang Can saw Zhou Cang coming in, he smiled at Guo Jia, and then asked, "Zhou Cang, is there any new news?" ”

Zhou Cang nodded and said: "The little general just sent back the news, Yan Yan's army stopped, but sent a hundred soldiers to find out the news, the little general asked the lord if he killed the hundred soldiers sent by Yan Yan?" "Little general, is the name of Lu Meng by the soldiers under Wang Can's command. Everyone knows that LΓΌ Meng worships Wang Can as a teacher, and everyone knows that LΓΌ Meng's future is limitless, so they all call LΓΌ Meng a little general, and LΓΌ Meng is also happy and very useful.

After Wang Can heard this, he immediately ordered: "Pass the order, let the soldiers of Yan Yan investigate the news, and there is no need to stop it." ”

"No!"

When Zhou Cang heard this, he immediately turned around and went to convey the order.

Wang Can and Guo Jia glanced at each other, and immediately laughed. The laughter kept echoing in the tent, making Zhou Cang, who had just walked out of the tent, stunned, and didn't know why.

……

Du Xu led a hundred soldiers, advanced very carefully, and then investigated the news.

Along the way, there was no obstruction, no Hanzhong soldiers, not even a Hanzhong scout who investigated the news.

However, the more this is the case, the more confident Du Xu's heart becomes, and he feels that every place is full of doubts. He led a hundred soldiers deep into the hinterland, and it was only a mile away from the camp where Wang Can's army was encamped, but at such a close distance, he still did not find any news from the Hanzhong soldiers.

In view of this, Du Xu did not dare to move on.

After investigating the news, Du Xu immediately ordered a retreat and quickly hurried back. On the official roads of the march, although most of them are empty official roads, and there are no valleys, woods and weeds around, but the road is far away, and there are always places for weeds and woods.

Lu Meng led a hundred 'wolf teeth' soldiers, which were scattered among the weeds and woods everywhere.

100 teenagers, a group of 10 teenagers.

It was precisely because the 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 wolf tooth soldiers led by Lu Meng, each teenager has a Ma Jun crossbow and a Han sword, which can be described as well-equipped, and the Ma Jun crossbow can shoot the enemy without error within 100 meters, and shoot five bows and arrows at a time, which is quite powerful.

For scouts, riding on horses at high speeds, after being targeted, it is almost impossible to dodge, and finally they are all destroyed.

Because Wang Can conveyed the order not to kill, Du Xuan was able to go all the way deep without being intercepted and killed.

It took half an hour for Du Xu to lead the troops back to the place where Yan Yan led the troops to station. Yan Yan saw that Du Xu led a hundred soldiers to return safely, and the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed, and he was also relieved in his heart. After Du Xu rested for a while, Yan Yan asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Du Xuan frowned, his face was full of doubts, and said: "The road is smooth, there is no obstacle." ”

After Yan Yan heard this, he also showed a look of surprise on his face, and said, "What about Wang Can's camp?" ”

Du Xuan shook his head and said, "The last general feels that things are strange, and when he goes deep into a place one mile away from Wang Can's camp, he doesn't move forward anymore. ”

In fact, Du Xu was a little afraid in his heart.

At the beginning, the more than twenty scouts sent out were all killed, which left a shadow in Du Xu's heart. Then, when Du Xu led the troops to investigate the news, he encountered that the road was clear, and no trace of any soldiers was found, not even the corpse of the dead scout was found, and nothing happened along the way, which made Du Xu more and more frightened.

If he met a soldier in Hanzhong, he didn't have any fear in his heart, after all, it was normal to encounter a large army.

However, there is no one, which seems a little strange.

Perhaps, Wang Can didn't expect that he would be released, but he scared Du Xu so much that he didn't dare to move forward, for fear that there would be an ambush ahead. It was precisely because there were no soldiers that Du Xuan was puzzled in his heart, and he only marched to a place one mile away from Wang Can's camp, and he no longer dared to continue to investigate the situation.

Yan Yan was also quite helpless when he got such news.

But overall, I got some useful news.

did not get the exact news of Wang Can's camp, and all the scouts sent out were killed, does this mean that Wang Can has led the troops to retreat, so that people will intercept and kill the scouts, and there are no soldiers to resist. Yan Yan was now blind, and he didn't know anything about the situation in front of him, and he couldn't see clearly what was going on in the fog.

Du Xu was a little apprehensive in his heart and asked, "General, what should I do next?" ”

Yan Yan didn't answer Du Xu's words, but asked, "Du Xu, how long did the soldiers bring dry food?" ”

Du Xuan was stunned, and immediately reacted, and hurriedly said: "A day's dry food!" ”

After Yan Yan heard this, he looked up at the bright sun in the middle of the sky, with a contemplative look on his face, and after thinking for a while, he said: "We will lead the troops out of the city, and if we don't find out Wang Can's situation, we won't return to Baocheng for the time being." Then return to Baocheng with a hundred soldiers and come out with two days' worth of dry food. ”

Du Xu asked, "General, do you still want to lead the troops on the way?" ”

Yan Yan showed a sneer on his face and said, "Wang Can is making some ghost tricks to scare people, why should we follow his steps, the army has temporarily stopped and is stationed here." We are steady, step by step, and after dark, we continue to hurry, I want to see what kind of tricks Wang Can can play after dark. ”

When Du Xuan heard this, his expression showed a sudden expression, and he said, "The general is wise!" ”

Yan Yan waved his hand and said, "Come back to the city!" ”

"No!"

Du Xu took a hundred soldiers, turned around and rushed in the direction of Baocheng.

Yan Yan suddenly thought of his order, and ordered loudly: "Du Xu, if you can't enter the city, just let the city guards prepare two days' dry food outside the city and send it out of the city." ”

Du Xuan waved his hand and said, "The last general understands!" ”

After finishing speaking, Du Xu rushed to the direction of Baocheng with his soldiers.
